Shadow of the Beautiful World

The undercurrent on the earth is surging, and all parties have plans being implemented, but this surging undercurrent needs time to ferment.

On the other side of the stars, at the southern edge of the galaxy, in a barren and remote galaxy, a visitor from far away has visited a place that has recently become very dangerous.

A dilapidated spaceship is like a monster swimming in the water. With the flames of the propellers propelled, it approaches the giant fleet parked in the sea of ​​stars little by little.

The outer shell of this spaceship is printed with the logo of interstellar pirates, and there are many bullet holes on its body, and there are horrible torn scars on the outer armor. It seems that the process of this ship coming here is not easy.

But it is not the interstellar pirates who control it.

Rocky is in the ship's command room. She is still wearing her signature green trench coat and Asgard-style hunting suit. She wears black hunting high boots on her long legs and holds a silver staff in her hand. , still wearing gloves.

Her lips were painted with green lipstick, and those beautiful eyes were staring forward. Outside the glass barrier of the starship, she saw the terrifying fleet occupying a small half of the interstellar space.

Those fish-shaped, metal-made, hideous battleships with layers of appearance, they are like the most vicious predators in the star sea, shuttling back and forth in the chaotic large fleet.

There are also those small shuttles that gather in the fleet like swarms of putrid bees.

Those personal combat equipment like flying motorcycles, on each of the plundering boats, there are several aliens wearing silver armor, hunched like Zerg, and carrying weapons.

These guys are called Chitauri.

They arrived in the Southern Milky Way not long ago. In less than two years, they have destroyed dozens of civilizations on the border of the Southern Milky Way like a plague. These brutal guys have made all the forces in this star field very vigilant .

But they have become famous in a short period of time, not only because they wantonly slaughtered the civilized world, but also because they have a very obvious mode of action.

No matter what opponent they encounter, no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, no matter whether the opponent resists or surrenders, they will only kill half of the people, destroy half of the world, and then take half of the supplies, and just leave like that.

never kill...

Although there will always be all kinds of weird things in the stars, it is indeed the first time that such weird destroyers have been seen by the residents of the galaxy.

But Loki could guess.

These brutal and greedy alien locusts like wild beasts are so restrained, definitely not because they have kind thoughts in their hearts. If they can, these bastards will definitely eat up all the civilizations they encounter!

The reason why they have such weird action patterns is that they obey the orders of the powerful leader with a high probability.

And that leader is also the reason why Loki traveled across the star sea and came to the edge of these stars.

Whizzing

The interstellar pirate warship sailing towards the death galaxy was quickly spotted by the Chitauri warriors patrolling nearby. Several huge fish-shaped warships broke away from the chaotic fleet and flew towards the warship.

Their posture was anything but friendly, and beyond those ships, the marauders piloted by the Chitauri were already firing.

I'm here to meet Thanos! Meet your leader!

Loki also ignored the attacking light beams, she turned on the loudspeaker, converted her voice into the common language in this star field, and projected it towards the distant large fleet in the form of frequency band broadcast.

I have news about the Infinity Stones!

Those Chitauri marauders attacking the battleship did not stop attacking because of Loki's broadcast, on the contrary, they regarded it as a provocation, and more savage guys opened fire on the battleship where Loki was. .

The strength of the energy shield of the spaceship snatched by Loki decreased rapidly, and it was about to be destroyed soon, but Loki did not panic.

She just sent out her broadcast over and over again.

She was sure.

She knew from the collector that the mad titan Thanos returned to the galaxy for the infinity gems. Although that dangerous figure has been staying in the southern galaxy, he must have been seeking to find the whereabouts of the gems in other ways.

After knowing a person's purpose, it is very easy to connect with him.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, when Loki's spaceship was about to disintegrate, the crazy attacks of those Chitauri stopped without warning.

Loki saw that the road leading to the interior of the dead galaxy was being opened in front of him through the observation tower that had already started to burn.

The marauders who wanted to kill her moved out of the way for her, at the behest of their mighty will.

Even the chaotic, innumerable large fleet, like a chaotic star cluster residing in the center of the galaxy, also opened a way for Loki to reach the core.

Like an irregular nut shell being opened, revealing the innermost kernel.

A domineering black battleship, like a suspended mountain, is surrounded by those Chitauri spaceships.

That should be Thanos' ship.

Bang, bang

Outside the command cabin of the battleship that had already started to burn, there was a low knocking sound, and Loki threw himself a magic that could breathe among the stars, and opened the hatch of the command cabin.

Among the cold and dead stars, a phalanx of dozens of Chitauri marauders hovered before Loki's eyes.

A man in robes and a strange bronze mask, showing only a mouth full of sharp teeth, stood on a looting boat, and it said to Loki in a strangely accented voice:

Come with me, uninvited guests, the great Thanos is waiting for you.

I hope the news you bring is useful to our master, otherwise, you will be thrown into the red dwarf for your lies as the cruelest punishment!

Lead the way.

Loki flicked her long black hair, and lightly landed on the empty plunder boat behind the messenger, she gave a calm tone of command, this haughty gesture made the messenger of Thanos very dissatisfied.

But it's not showing any more malice.

It waved its hand, and under the escort of the heavily armed Chitauri marauders, it took Loki and quickly sailed towards the gravel belt in the center of the galaxy, not heading for the black battleship.

It appears Thanos is currently not on the battleship.

Minutes later, Loki met Thanos, the mad titan, on a gigantic rubble orbiting the dying sun of the place.

The latter sat on a strange floating throne, and the throne composed of several heavy obsidian seemed to have been given some kind of magic, allowing them to hover in the air and form different shapes according to the manipulator's mind.

Thanos, who was wearing a golden armor and a golden helmet, sat on the obsidian throne with a majestic posture like a king.

He didn't look at Loki who came to see him, but stared at the dying black sun in the distance like a sculpture.

It was a star that was about to go extinct, and it was still working hard to radiate light and heat to the stars, but it was too old, like an old man who was dying, and could be blown out by a gust of wind.

Under the leadership of the messenger, Loki walked to a position 10 meters in front of Thanos. She lowered her head and did not take the initiative to speak, but waited for Thanos' inquiry.

That gesture was very respectful, representing Loki's respect for powerful forces.

There is a heavenly father in front of him. There is no doubt about it. Loki is very familiar with the aura emanating from Odin, and the aura emanating from Thanos in front of him seems to be slightly weaker than Odin who is fighting with all his strength.

Before you, many people told me that they knew the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones, and they used that information as threats or prayers, trying to get rewards or help from me.

Thanos' deep and deep voice sounded on the gravel hovering among the stars.

At the moment when the obsidian throne slowly rotated, Loki noticed that this mad titan had eyes that shone like stars.

Thanos looked down at Loki, and he said:

But it's a pity that among so many people who came to see me, there is only one person who can really help me...I generously promised that ambitious Cree, I I am looking forward to the news that he can bring me victory.

Ronan?

Loki curled her lips. On the way to the southern galaxy, she heard the news that Ronan, the accuser of the Cree, commanded an army to attack the solar system. She and Ronan were not familiar with each other, but Loki obviously didn't think Ronan would be able to obtain victory.

She said bluntly to Thanos:

Give up, powerful Thanos, Ronan wants to flood the earth with numbers, that's just a wild and unrealistic fantasy, I think a powerful existence like you still lacks understanding of that distant world...

If you really know the level of power in that world, maybe you won't give hope to Ronan's idiotic ravings.

Yeah?

Thanos reached out and stroked his strangely shaped wide chin, he looked at Loki with interest, and he felt a kind of confidence from the audience in front of him.

This got Thanos interested.

If Rocky is not a lunatic, then it means that the woman in front of him does have some dry goods in her hands.

Ronan may have made a promise he'll never be able to keep, but the Kree at least has a fleet that looks strong, and he's pretty confident about getting the Stone of Power... as Same as you now.

Thanos said in a deep voice:

The light in his eyes is the same as yours now. It is the light of desire, and he hopes to get something from me. Ronan is eager to see the powerful enemy wiped out in my hands, so what about you? Claiming to be able to help My Lady Rocky.

What do you hope to get from me? And, what can you bring me?

Seeing that the communication between the two parties finally got to the point, Loki no longer concealed it. She leaned on her silver staff and looked at Thanos. She said:

I have the whereabouts and information of all six rough stones in my hand. As I know, you have obtained the Mind Stone from a crazy ancient ghost not long ago.

Loki blinked, and she looked at Thanos with a slightly pale face.

She knew that she had hit the secret hidden in Thanos' heart, and it seemed that the information given by the collector was correct.

She raised her hand, and put the phantoms of the six rough stones in front of Thanos' eyes. She touched those phantoms and said softly:

The Space Stone, the Time Stone, and the Power Stone are all on Earth.

The Reality Stone is sealed, and no one can get it now, but the celestial-sphere convergence phenomenon that is enough to affect the entire galaxy will make the Reality Stone appear in the near future.

The last is the Soul Stone, which is the most mysterious and dangerous.

Loki said eloquently:

Not only do I know their information, I also know where they are hidden, who is protecting them, and most importantly, I know how to get them.

The Asgardian pointed to her head with her finger, and she said to Thanos:

Those messages are hidden in my mind, and this is also the source of my confidence to stand here and face Thanos Your Excellency...I hate my father, but I also have to thank him for protecting me.

Loki looked at the squinting Thanos, and she said:

This is a blessing set by a heavenly father. The powerful Thanos can easily kill me, but as long as I don't want to, you will never know the news.

So, let's cooperate.

Loki held out her hand to Thanos, and she said frankly:

I need the Mind Stone in your hand, Your Excellency Thanos, I want to use it to win a competition, and the final reward of that competition is the Stone of Time.

In my opinion, this is like an investment. You bet me with the Mind Stone, and I will promise you that the next time I get here, I will send you the money you deserve. remuneration.

With all due respect, Loki, the price you want is really high.

Thanos, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Loki who asked him for the treasure with an unclear look.

He squinted his eyes, thinking, and Loki didn't speak, just stood there quietly, waiting for Thanos' response.

A moment later, Thanos threw something in front of Loki.

It was a rough stone suspended in the air, shining with golden luster, the size of a chocolate bean. Just looking at it, Loki could feel a power that hit his heart directly.

I made a bet.

Thanos looked at the surprised Loki, and said:

I hope you won't make me lose money.

However, in order to ensure that our transaction can go smoothly, I will send my most loyal and powerful subordinates to assist you, Loki, and by the way, you can take my fleet to the solar system.

Thanos looked back at the large Chitauri fleet entangled in the death galaxy behind him, he waved his hand and said:

I agreed with Ronan to send a fleet to help him and further increase his numerical advantage.

A promise is a promise, and the promise must be fulfilled. Just like my future plans for the stars, I can't put all my eggs in one basket...

So, go help Ronan.

It would be great if he could get back the Stone of Power for me as agreed...
