Chapter 266: The Beginning of Pluralism: Decisions from Multiple Parties
"How did you get out of that place?"
Thanos' tall figure stood in front of Nebula and them, he didn't pay attention to the raw faces, just looked at Nebula and asked.
Nebula, who was brought to Thanos, was still thinking about a way to escape, but was stunned by Thanos's questioning. She looked up at Thanos with some confusion, her head quickly thinking about the relevant memories.
"Lost your memory?" Sanos frowned. Then, without waiting for Nebula to reply, he turned around and said, "Come with me, I need to check your memory." ”
"Wait a minute, check your memories?" Star-Lord looked at Thanos, who was defenseless with his back to them, and couldn't help but pull out his own firearm with incredible lethality.
"I know you, Star-Lord, a well-known marauder." Thanos turned around and glanced at Star-Lord who was pointing a gun at him, stretched out his hand and gestured to the nearby soldiers who also picked up weapons and pointed at Star-Lord and his party, and said calmly.
"Am I supposed to feel honored?" Star-Lord hesitated to consider whether to pull the trigger. They are not in a good situation right now, they are under siege.
"Or rather, it should be unfortunate." Thanos said meaningfully, "As a survivor who escaped from the Void, I am surprised that you dared to come to the vicinity of this area. Is there anything else in it that you can't get rid of? Also, what about my daughter Gamora? She should have fled the void with you. ”
"You dare to mention Gamora." Star-Lord's sane strings showed signs of crumbling in an instant.
"What happened in the Void? Didn't the Power Gem fall into Ronan's hands? Nebula sensitively grasped the message in Thanos's words, and rummaged through the records of the Void in her mind, believing that Thanos wanted to know the whereabouts of the Power Gem.
"Who told you that the Power Gem fell into Ronan's hands?" Thanos instantly narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to his daughter.
"Isn't it?" Star-Lord felt that there was nothing wrong with what Nebula said.
"I don't know whose hands the Power Gem ended up with, but the last information I got was that the Power Gem was in the hands of the Divine Weapons." Thanos had realized something, and said slowly with a deep gaze.
"Who is the Divine Machiner?" Star-Lord and Nebula looked dazed, and they didn't know anything about the people in Thanos' mouth.
"It looks like your memories are distorted, but that's okay, I have a way of knowing what I want to know from your heads. You'll be obedient, won't you? Thanos said the end, his eyes fixed on the nebula.
"I refuse." Nebula pulled out his weapon with both hands. Although she doesn't know how the void of this universe is developing, no matter what, she will not be willing to let Thanos flip through her memories at will. After all, Thanos at this time period didn't know the whereabouts of all the Infinity Primordial Stones, but she had them in her mind.
Especially where the most mysterious soul gems are located.
Bang!
Star-Lord fired a shot immediately, but was dodged by Thanos, who was close at hand, and his massive body showed incredible agility and strength, especially explosiveness beyond everyone's expectations.
Before Rod's steel machine could lift off and get away, Thanos reached out and ripped off the outer weapon, leaving him on top of Clint and rolling in a grunt.
Star-Lord and Nebula took the opportunity to attack Thanos's body, but their attack only earned Thanos a grin, and then one in each hand, he pinched the necks of the two and lifted them up in the air.
"Control them, I want them to live for a while!" Thanos gave orders to his men nearby, and took Star-Lord and Nebula to the mothership's modification room.
Heavy metal doors shut in the sound of fierce fighting outside.
Thanos threw Nebula in the center of the modification room, and Nebula was almost powerless in the whole process, and was easily dismantled into parts by Thanos, and her body, which had been transformed many times, was completely frozen under the control order, and she lost control, and could only follow Thanos's order to project everything she saw from the inside of her eyes to the outside.
The screen sped up to the point of jumping, flashing through Thanos' eyes, starting from the void and ending with her use of the Pym particle to travel to the universe.
During this period, Thanos saw Ronan take the Power Gem from the Void, and saw Ronan take the original stone for himself and go to destroy Xandar Star, but was killed by Star-Lord and others.
I saw him search for the Infinity Primordial Stones, saw the location of the Soul Primordial Stones, saw him snap his fingers to fulfill his wish, and saw his head cut off by the new king of Asgard.
It was all very different from what he knew. It also made Thanos realize that the Nebula and Star-Lord in front of him should be from other universes. He expressed his admiration for himself who had fulfilled his wish in another universe.
"You're from another universe, aren't you?" Thanos looked at Star-Lord, who was still clutched by him.
"Haven't you seen it already?" Star-Lord wanted to ignore it, but saw Thanos move his fingers, and the almost dismantled Nebula had a painful look on his face, and his body was like shrimp being steamed at high temperatures, and he was stiffened. This direct threat made him have to speak.
"I need accurate information from you." Thanos stopped torturing Nebula.
"We don't know if we're from another universe, we just want to travel from the future to the past." Star-Lord looked at Nebula, who was limp and collapsed, and compromised.
"Want to go back in time to stop what has happened? I have to say that I really underestimate you in another universe. "Thanos confirmed the message.
"Why are you sure we're from another universe?" Star-Lord was puzzled. He still felt like they were back in time, but there might have been a little bit of a problem with the timing.
"Because of the Void!" Thanos didn't think about hiding anything, he threw Star-Lord on the ground, walked to the front and sat down, and said with a calm face.
"The Void?" Star-Lord had heard about this place from Thanos more than once, and he knew what it was, but he didn't know why Thanos cared so much about it.
"In your world, that accuser, Ronan, has acquired the Primogem of Strength and betrayed me. But in this world, the power gems should ultimately fall into the hands of the gods. The Obsidian Five generals they sent me over completely fell into that place. Thanos sat with his elbows resting on his knees and his fingers crossed in front of him, answering Star-Lord and the Nebula next to him, who couldn't control himself.
"The Void has now undergone some kind of strange change, it has been swallowed into some unknown dimension, it has become a circular world. None of the people trapped in it have been able to get out of it so far. According to the information I have, the people who fall in it don't know that they are dead, or they don't know that they are trapped in a certain circular dimension, they are just passive, unaware of the cycle again and again. They may still be alive, but their lives are no longer going forward. ”
Star-Lord was a little confused when he heard it, but what he knew was that Ronan and the five generals of Obsidian had not come out of the void where the accident had happened, and the power gem had not been brought out, but had fallen into the hands of the so-called Divine Weapon, and Thanos still couldn't be sure whether the original stone and the Divine Weapon were still in the Void.
Thinking of this, Star-Lord realized the difference, and at the same time, he also somewhat understood why Thanos said that they were not from the future, but from another parallel universe.
Unless someone alters reality at the risk of tampering with time, causing Thanos and their memories to be inconsistent, it can only be explained by two similar but different universes.
"Your buddies are collecting other cosmic primordial stones?" Thanos asked softly suddenly.
Star-Lord's gaze flickered back and forth between him and Nebula, and then nodded slightly.
"Is this going back to your universe?" Thanos took out the small tube of Pym particles that he had retrieved from Nebula.
"Yes." Star-Lord had to nod again under Thanos' gaze. This simply cannot be hidden. Star-Lord could feel that Thanos knew something very well, and when he asked it, he was just testing something.
"I'd like to go with you to another universe." Under Star-Lord's frightened face, Thanos smiled.
"You want to go to our universe?" Star-Lord had never realized that his voice could become so dry, and he was so taken aback by Thanos' sudden request.
In their universe, their efforts were only to kill a Thanos who was badly injured and had no heart to fight when his wish was achieved, but this Thanos, who was obviously still at the peak of his combat power, was an unparalleled catastrophe in their universe! Who knows how much wind and waves the other party can toss when they reach their universe?
"yes, I want to see that wonderful world." Thanos longed for the way. The universe's self has fulfilled his wish. But he himself, even if he knew the whereabouts of the other cosmic primordial stones, he could only wait.
His wings have broken off, and the combat power of the five obsidian generals still has a certain bonus effect on collecting cosmic primordial stones. But they were lost in the void, and they didn't know whether they lived or died. He's been up against Danfoss a few times, and he hasn't entered the void yet.
Odin, the god king of the Nine Realms, is still alive, and his protection of the Nine Realms still exists. So even if he knew the whereabouts of many cosmic primordial stones in the Nine Realms, Thanos could only watch.
He was not afraid of Odin, but he also had to admit that it would be much more difficult for him to obtain one of the rough stones with Odin in his way. Once he appears in the range of the Nine Realms, then it will inevitably attract Odin's attention and battle.
The only good news is that the Supreme Mage of the Atrium, Gu Yi, has news that she has fallen. If the Obsidian Five are still around, then Thanos can stop Odin and give them the task of collecting the cosmic primordial stones.
But now, naturally, this plan has failed.
But the Pym particle and Star-Lord, who shuttles through the barrier of the universe, have brought a new path to Thanos. Not to mention anything else, if that group of people can bring back a few cosmic primordial stones from the atrium, then once he goes back, he doesn't need to fight Odin, and he can easily obtain the ownership of the cosmic primordial stones scattered in the atrium.
If you really can't do it, you can also recruit some helpers in other universes.
……
Silent City
"Do you think we should agree to his terms?" In the silence, Scott was the first to speak breathlessly.
"It's a good idea to let the other person communicate with our universe. I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen. Natasha, who is an agent, added suspiciously.
"But for now it's the only way." Dr. Banner frowned, "According to him, the primordial stones of their universe may not work in our universe, and they don't seem willing to lend them to us. Then the only and best way is what Luke said, he will teach us the method of condensing the cosmic primordial stones, and then we will return to our universe and re-condense and extract new primordial stones. ”
"This method takes time and the corresponding equipment, and if we do it ourselves, it will take a long time, and there may be other accidents in the meantime. But with their help and guidance, we will be able to extract and condense the new rough as soon as we go back. Captain Rogers said, frowning slightly.
"My advice is to say yes." Stark gave his answer very neatly. "But you have to agree with them beforehand about the corresponding restrictions. What are we here for? It's to save everything! The opportunity is in front of us, are we going to back down? No way! ”
"I agree with Tony. We have no better solution anyway, and we have nothing to lose. Vicissitudes of Thor chimed in. He still has a high opinion of the people on Luke's side, after all, he has met his living father and mother here, and a living brother, if the two universes are connected, it means that he can see them again. It doesn't have to be very frequent, but even just a thought is enough to make the decadent Vicissitudes of Santhor have a surge of motivation in his heart.
"I just want Groot and them to come back, and as for the rest, I don't care." Rocket Raccoon snorted twice, spreading his little paws indifferently.
"Then negotiate terms with the other party." Stark made up his mind. He pointed to Rocket Raccoon and Natasha and the captain, and we set some boundaries before we talked to them.
……
"Will they agree to your terms?" Nick Fury looked at Stark's enclosed conference room.
"Why not? Can anyone else give better terms than mine? Luke spread his hands: "I didn't let them sell their country, their own universe, just cooperative development." I think the conditions are generous enough. ”
"I hope so." Nick was more or less unimpressed by Luke's words, who was the last one who felt that the conditions were good and still in the mud pit? It's him! It's him and his S.H.I.E.L.D.! And the entire planetary government kidnapped into a chariot!
