'Prophet. '

"That's quite appropriate," Unnamed said with a smile, "I just don't know if Olos wants to be a 'Prophet' or 'Prophet' or something, but my intuition tells me she won't."

"Even if she wanted to, Sherlock Holmes would definitely not agree," Tony complained. "You didn't see his face - he said that he didn't protect his family, but when he mentioned that his sister would fight Thanos, his face was as bright as ink." Still dark."

"I'm surprised you haven't been killed by consulting detectives and the British government," Hawkeye expressed sincere greetings and concern to Tony.

"Gentlemen, Ms. Romanoff," said Jarvis's voice suddenly, "perhaps you should look at this."

He turned on the TV in the meeting room, and on the screen was an all-too-familiar purple potato face.

"Prophet," Thanos said in a live broadcast around the world, "stand up and bow to me."

"Otherwise, my lord will destroy a city every hour of the earth, starting from the capitals of all countries." Ebony Throat stood beside Thanos and bowed.

What a big show.

"It's over," Deadpool murmured, "I've given her a name, so I can't run away now. Welcome Dongfeng girl to join the ranks of heroes?"

The TV screen switched again, and the screen from Thanos was forcibly switched to a black screen.

"The east wind has come," said the mechanically synthesized young female voice with a shrill laugh, "the east wind has come and brought destruction along its way, but it is still the wind of God, even though many may wither*—"

With the current technology, even Jarvis can't crack the code written by Oluosi himself in a short period of time.

But Thanos' technology is several centuries ahead of the earth, and he can completely obtain the location information of Olos from this information.This is Olos surrendering to him.

Perhaps because London is one of the cities that Thanos will target, it is absolutely impossible for Olos to see her family being threatened.

"Where will she be?" Romanov frowned, "a place that no one else would have expected."

"A place she should never want to set foot again," Anonymous added.

Sherinford Island, the former UK's best-secured prison.

Now that these criminals have all been transferred, this place is supposed to be an empty island, and it looks like it is.There is no trace of guards on the island, and the original flags and guard posts are also gone.

The transmitted blue beam of light faded, and Thanos set foot on this deserted and gloomy island.

Unlike New York City, the epicenter of the fighting, he had first noticed, this was a prison.

It is impossible for anyone, even an alien who does not understand the culture or architectural style of the earth, to misunderstand the true purpose of this island.The buildings on the island are very simple, with thick stone walls as a barrier, which can not only defend against attacks from the outside, but also prevent the people inside from escaping from prison.

This overly depressing atmosphere is really uncomfortable.

Thanos raised his hand, he clenched his fist, and controlled the power gem to send out a suppressed, less lethal beam attack, hitting the concrete floor under his feet.Even if the strength is controlled, the powerful lethality of the power gem still creates a passage leading directly to the bottom of the ground.

Ebony Maw controlled the cement board under his feet, and lowered Thanos and himself to the bottom of the hollow.

This is the white corridor leading to Orlos' former confinement room.

Thanos landed in the middle of the corridor, and the surrounding lights sensed the movement and turned on together, illuminating the originally dark corridor as if it were daytime.

At the end of the corridor is a white confinement room.Those hanging warnings and settings to mislead visitors have been removed.This room was no longer a prison cell at all.

It lacks a single piece of glass that separates the patient from the outside world.

Olos Holmes, however, was dressed in a white hospital gown, as if she was still a key criminal imprisoned here.

"This is the first time I've seen a living Titan," said Olos, with her back facing the visitor, standing in the posture of playing the violin, exactly the same as when she saw Anonymous, but this time she didn't move the bow, The entire glass-less confinement room was dead silent except for her voice, "Oh, you're alive, right?"

But it’s never dull, or eerie—a rare feat, indeed, when it comes to a single female voice in a snow-white room.

There's something magical about Orlos' voice: she can hypnotize anyone with simple words when she wants to.

It is a mixture of gentleness and rationality and deeply hidden madness, which is not creepy at first hearing.

She was more rude than usual, bringing the contempt for others to the extreme, clearly written in her tone.

As if at any second it's time to add: 'It's okay, you'll be a dead titan soon. '

Thanos should have jumped into a rage, or laughed at the offense of this powerless ant, and killed Olos immediately-if he wanted to kill this defenseless enemy now, he would not even have the power of the Infinity Stone Without help.

But he stared at Olos's back without making a sound, as if acquiescing to her sarcasm.He realized that this so-called prophet was not a person with supernatural abilities as he thought, and he was not the one he wanted to win or get rid of.

No, Olos Holmes is very ordinary, she has neither magic nor mutant genes.

She is terribly ordinary.The first time Thanos saw her, he felt the breath of the same kind: they may be one of the few existences in this universe that can be called 'omniscient'.As soon as he saw the woman's back, he knew that this war had changed from a pure duel of strength to a game of black and white on the chessboard.

And Oulos quietly and without Thanos realizing it, easily removed several of his sunspots off the chessboard.

"Pursuing death is a good ideal," Olos said with a soft smile, "Have you ever listened to the music of Earth?"

"No," in Ebony Throat's shocked eyes, Thanos actually answered this ordinary woman's question, appearing calm, and even showing a kind of respect that was definitely not feigned or forced.

Ebony Throat had never seen Thanos so humble. As the overlord of the universe, the latter didn't need to be so accommodating to anyone.But when Ebony Maw shifted his gaze to Olos, he suddenly couldn't speak the words to reprimand him.

Years of living on the brink of danger and the resulting intuition made Ebony Throat wisely choose to keep silent—this seemingly fragile earth woman actually gave him a sense of danger similar to that of Thanos.

Olos lifted the bow lightly.

Mozart's string quartet "Requiem", now played by her alone, although it should appear thin, is not unpleasant, with a strange rhythm.

"This is the 'Requiem' composed by the composer for himself," Olos's music came to an abrupt end, she turned her head, but she didn't deliberately catch a glimpse of Thanos, she just exposed her face to the latter's vision, "I think it fits the situation very well, no matter how it ends."

It's just that I don't know who will be the one who failed to finish writing the elegy to myself in the end?

"I see you, but I don't see you—it's so funny," Olos laughed sincerely, and what she said was confusing and incomprehensible, and it really sounded like a madwoman who had lost all reason.

Thanos almost thought that she was not Earth's last hole card, a strategist whose intelligence could rival his.

If Oulos hadn't raised the bow, hit the middle of the dark ruby ​​on his glove with a point in the air, and completely shattered the illusion built by the reality gem under this light touch.

The illusion fades from where the tip of Orlos' bow meets the Reality Gem, revealing the figure of Thanos who has walked in front of her.

Oluos actually used this ordinary bow, if there is anything special about it, to be an outrageously high price, to shatter Thanos' illusion.

The infinite gems are just a tool for their confrontation. If Thanos tried to use the infinite gems to kill Olos directly-not only would he not be able to do it, but in the end he would just lose face in front of his subordinates.

Understand the past, understand the present, and predict the future.

See through the illusion and break the truth.

"Wow, fairy fortune teller," commented Hawkeye, who was eating a cookie and watching the situation on Olosi's side through the surveillance video.

"This is not fortune-telling," Unknown smiled. "Since when she was playing just now, how many times has she raised the bow slightly and clicked on the position of Thanos' glove?"

Of course, Olos can't see through the illusion built by reality gems. She just stands in an extremely asymmetrical posture: when playing the violin, if someone wants to approach her, she will naturally choose her right side. Whether it is a sneak attack or observation, it can avoid the occlusion of the violin itself.

Thanos will never approach her from behind: because she did not show her appearance from the beginning to the end, just because of curiosity, Thanos will also choose to approach her from the front side.

As for the approximate location of the Reality Gem: She can easily calculate it based on Thanos' height, walking posture, and the position of the hole where the Reality Gem is set on the Infinity Gauntlet.

The temptations again and again are to create an illusion that 'the illusion of the reality gem is invalid for her'.

With just a planned stance, a requiem, and an understatement, Orlos turned Thanos' most terrifying weapon—the Reality Stone—into a waste crystal.

Thanos will never make the same mistake twice: he will no longer use the Reality Stone in his confrontation with Orlos.
