Chapter 1264 Five Gems
In the huge and empty dark hall, Thanos sat motionless on the huge throne, as if lost in deep thought.

This is the Dark Quadrant, Thanos' base camp, which is itself a huge fortress on a planet.

The hall was silent, there were no followers, no guards, no lights, only darkness.

Suddenly, this silent palace was illuminated by a sudden blue light.

The deep blue light formed a gap and quickly expanded, and then a figure stumbled out from it and fell to the smooth and cold stone floor with a plop.

The supergiant was now covered in thick smoke. Even if the Space Gem was wrapped in the Cosmic Cube, the energy it released was enough to turn ordinary humans into ashes.

The supergiant managed to hold on entirely by relying on his own super-strong physique, and continuously mobilized the power of the Cosmic Cube to travel through space and return to the Dark Quadrant.

She was not afraid of death, but she would never let the Infinity Stones fall into the hands of the Skeleton Knight because of her own mistakes and weakness.

"……What about the rest?"

Thanos's cold voice rang out overhead. Superstar coughed twice, then knelt weakly on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, and General Corvus Glaive are all dead. The strength of Earth's defense is beyond our expectations, great master."

"Keep your head up."

Supergiant looked up tremblingly, and then saw Thanos's appearance at this moment.

Thanos sat slumped on the magnificent throne, his left leg broken at the knee, a large piece of ribs and flesh missing from his left side, his left arm missing, and even most of the left half of his face burned.

Countless tiny mechanical worms were clinging to his horrific wounds and crawling, secreting an unknown green mucus that covered the surface of the wounds, trying to heal the horrific injuries.

"Master, has your injury improved?" Supergiant was extremely loyal to Thanos. Seeing his master so badly injured, he wished he could take his place.

"Heh... In the past, I might have needed to use mechanical parts to replace such injuries, but now I have a better way."

Thanos let out a long breath, swept away the mechanical worms on the surface of the wound, and then slowly opened his clenched right palm.

A bright orange gem was lying quietly in his palm, emitting brilliant light.

One of the six Infinity Stones, the Soul Stone.

"When General Corvus Glaive returned to me alone and presented this gem, I had no idea that the price of the Soul Gem would be so high.

My loyal child took part in the test to obtain the Soul Stone, sacrificed his beloved partner Proxima Midnight and killed him with his own hands, and only then did he obtain the Soul Stone..."

Thanos sighed and clenched his palms, but even so, orange light still flowed out from between his fingers like orange-red tears.

He looked down at the superstar kneeling on the ground, his tone cold:
"Tell me, my child, did you bring back the remaining Infinity Stones?"

The superstar knelt on the ground, his voice trembling:

"I, I disappoint you, Master. I only brought back the Space Stone and the Time Stone. The Guardian of Earth took the Mind Stone."

She was not afraid of being punished by Thanos, but was resentful of her own weakness and inability to take back all the Soul Gems.

Thanos shook his head slowly: "This is not your fault. I originally thought that only the Sorcerer Supreme could contend with your power on Earth, so I asked Ebony Maw to bring the Mind Scepter. So it seems that there are even more powerful masters?"

"Black Dwarf was killed by a giant thunder wolf, while Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive were killed by skeleton knights riding bone-armored horses. Their powers were very strange, especially the skeleton knight, who was able to use his own power to chase into the space tunnel opened up by the Cosmic Cube. It was there that Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive were killed by the skeleton knight, and the Mind Gem was also taken away."

"I think that person is the guardian of the Space Stone. You have done a good job, destroying the Cosmic Cube and the Eye of Agamotto and taking out the Infinity Stones inside. All this must be done in front of me, understand?"

"Yes!"

Thanos leaned back against the back of his throne to soothe the pain.

The superstar looked at Thanos worriedly. If an ordinary person had that injury, he would have died long ago. He is indeed a great master!
Then she thought back to the nightmare she had that day.

That day on Xandar, Thanos and Supergiant led the Vanguard to kill indiscriminately, just to seize the Power Stone sealed on Xandar.

The Nova Corps fought hard, but they were unable to withstand the might of Thanos.

The entire resistance force of Xandar was almost wiped out.

Just as the Vanguard broke through the Superstar Palace on Xandar and Thanos was about to seize the Power Stone himself, the ghost ship appeared.

There was no negotiation, no dialogue. The 15,000-meter-long super-giant battleship attacked the Vanguard and the Dark Cult without hesitation.

What a terrifying battleship it was! Supergiant had never seen such a powerful main gun, nor had he ever seen such a huge battleship.

The Ghosts slaughtered the Vanguard and the Black Order at will, just as they had done to the resistance on Xandar.

The captain of the Ghost then descends from the sky and appears between Thanos and the treasure vault where the Power Stone is located.

Facing the angry rebukes of Thanos and Supergiant, the man just laughed and waved the azure scimitar, actively attacking the craziest dark lord in the universe.

That battle destroyed half of Xandar.

In the end, Thanos tried his best to grab the Power Stone, and desperately forced this dangerous Infinity Stone into his hand, drawing out the huge energy in the stone as vast as the sea of ​​stars.

Purple beams broke through the surface and blasted towards the ghost ship and its captain.

At the same time, the ghost ship fired its main gun, and the huge star-shooing cannon collided fiercely with the purple light of the power gem.

The overflowing light stream blasted numerous holes on the surface of the Ghost Ship, and Thanos himself had half of his body almost blown to pieces due to the backlash of forcefully absorbing the power of the Power Stone and the energy shock.

The only good news is that the enemy seemed to have turned around and left this star field with the captain because the battleship was severely damaged.

Thanos dragged his body back to the Dark Quadrant with the Power Stone.

"Master, your current body cannot support you to use the power of the Infinity Stones again."

Supergiant must remind Thanos.

"I know. Concentrate your strength on cracking the Eye of Agamotto, and then I want you to use the Time Stone inside to reverse the state of my body and restore the broken body."

Thanos said coldly, not caring at all about the terrible consequences that might result from Supergiant's forced use of the Time Stone.
"Then, I will embed the five Infinity Stones into this glove and take them to Earth to meet the Guardians there."

Thanos just snapped his fingers, and the floor in front of the throne opened up and a stone pillar rose up, with a huge glove floating on top of the pillar.

The entire glove is dark gold in color, and is just the right size to cover Thanos' left hand to forearm. There is a groove on the fist from the thumb to the little finger, plus the groove on the back of the hand, for a total of six positions.

"I know that the Sorcerer Supreme has placed an extremely strict seal on the Eye of Agamotto, so I will give you two months, Superstar. After two months, I want to see the Time Stone."

Thanos looked down at the Superstar kneeling on the ground.

In two months, I will have collected all six Infinity Stones and will be the master of destiny.
