Chapter 120: Thanos

"Where are you going, I'll go with you-"

"No, you can help me take care of Lingxing, cats don't like to get into the water."

Despite Spiritstar's meowing objections, Red forcibly shoved the red light cat into Hela's arms, who desperately slapped him on the arm with a meat ball to show his displeasure, but Red rubbed Spiritstar's little head with a complicated gaze to convince it.

Hela frowned slightly, staring at Red tightly.

"The ...... we agreed to before"

"I know that as long as I can get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube back, I'll definitely send you-"

"It's 'come with me' to Asgard."

Seeing that Hela didn't plan to back down, Red also smiled, patted Hela lightly on the shoulder, and drove the red light ring into the air.

"Of course, I still remember to take revenge on your father."

The smile on Red's face quickly disappeared after leaving Hela and Spiritstar, he had fought alongside Spiritstar in most of the previous battles, but this time the foreboding in his mind told him that this battle might be more dangerous than any time he had faced a strong enemy before.

It should be said that Thanos' coming to Earth at this time is already a very serious problem in itself.

It stands to reason that Thanos hasn't officially started collecting Infinity Stones yet, and in his cautious style, he shouldn't have recklessly come to Earth in person. Just like the plot of the original movie, let your vanguard descend on Earth, find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and then open the portal for the Zitari army to invade, so as to test the defense strength of the Earth...... This is the normal way to do it.

But what the hell is the situation now, it was already troublesome enough for Ultron to appear 3 years early, but I didn't expect Thanos to come to Earth 6 years early...... This cannot be explained simply by the butterfly effect.

And judging from the information sent back by Ivan, Thanos seems to have known himself - Red feels that although he has made a lot of trouble during this time, he should not be directly concerned by this most dangerous alien warlord.

Anyway, Red decided to leave Lingxing and Hela behind, it would be better to go alone, and at least it would be easier to run away with Ivan in the worst case.

Under the protection of the Red Lantern Ring, Red plunged headlong into the Atlantic Ocean, sensing the direction of Ivan's Lantern Ring, and soon found the location of Talokan, the land of the sea.

This primitive and secluded empire in the sea has been slaughtered before it has officially appeared, and thinking that this is also one of the effects of his own crossing, Red inevitably feels a little more emotional.

"You're finally here, Red Douglas - I warmed up a little before you came, and I hope you won't mind."

Bang!

As soon as Red came out of the water, before he could figure out the situation, a behemoth rolled in front of him, and if it weren't for the slightly heaving chest, Red would have thought it was a stone.

It was Hulk - but it was completely different from the last time Red had met, and he almost didn't recognize it, whether it was his bruised body and green blood all over his body...... What's more, Hulk's anger, which was as angry as the sun, is now as weak as a small flame.

This means that he is not just physically hurt, but mentally his anger is completely suppressed by another emotion.

Fear.

But even so, perhaps because he knew that Banner would have no way to survive if he retreated, Hulk insisted on maintaining his transformation, until he looked up and saw Red, Hulk breathed a sigh of relief, and his body quickly shrank as if he was leaking, turning back into a thin Banner.

"It's pretty good as a fighter, but unfortunately it's still lacking some grinding and growth, but as an appetizer, it's satisfying."

It sounded like a flat, gentle voice, but Red could still feel a chill rising up his spine, a creature instinct warning him that the enemy in front of him was extremely dangerous.

"I don't think we need to introduce ourselves, Red Douglas, you should already know what I'm doing...... Maybe even better than my subordinates, my daughter. ”

I saw Thanos sitting on top of a large pile of Iron Man armor, looking at Red meaningfully. His signature golden armor, helmet, double-bladed greatsword and other equipment were placed in the back, and it seems that he deliberately took off his equipment to fight the Hulk.

There were several figures standing in a row behind him, and from their appearance and highly recognizable size, Red recognized them as Thanos' most elite elite Obsidian Quadrant, as well as his adopted daughter Nebula.

"And I know you well, Red Douglas, and I'm more concerned about your presence than you think."

Red frowned slightly, no matter what you think of Thanos's attitude, it's too strange, even in the original movie, few people will get such a special evaluation from Thanos - but obviously, this is not something to be happy about.

"I'm really flattered that a little person like me can be said by you like this, if we can, maybe we can change places first and then have a good chat to enhance friendship, this place is humid, to be honest I don't care, but my companion's old cold legs can't stand it."

Red pretended to be calm, and at least he couldn't lose in the face of Thanos. At the same time, he glanced at the rock wall of the cave next to him, and could see that Ivan and Tony Stark were both leaning weakly there, seemingly not in danger of their lives.

Thanos narrowed his eyes and looked at Red for a few seconds, who felt as if he had been thoroughly scanned by an X-ray machine.

"The Mind Gem is in your hand, right?"

Red hesitated briefly, but pulled the Mind Stone out of his trouser pocket.

"Can I understand that as long as I give you the gems, in exchange, I can take these people away?"

Hearing Red's words, the corners of Thanos' mouth rose slightly, he held the wide chin like a coconut sole with one hand, and raised the other hand to make a gesture.

In the next second, the tall and burly black dwarf who didn't look smart, the emaciated general of the dead blade holding the blade, and the female warrior with the spear Proxima Centauri, the three of them walked in front of Thanos in unison and looked at Red with bad intentions.

"You're almost right, but there's another possibility - I'll take the Infinity Stones directly on top of your corpse."

Sure enough, he still wants to fight, Red breathed a sigh of relief, for berserkers, it is better to solve problems with force than to use their brains.

Seeing him raise his hand, Ivan immediately tacitly threw something like a sword hilt at him, Red caught the hilt, and as the blood-colored lines appeared on the hilt, the surrounding nanoparticles quickly converged towards his hand, forming a nano sword.

Red raised his nano-sword and Mjörnir, and the power of his blood wrapped around his body, revealing an arrogant smile to the enemy in front of him.

"Then I'll choose the third option, my partner's life, yours, and the Infinity Stones—"

"I want them all!"
