Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

His smile made Carl realize something.

Although Alexander never mentioned what he did in the universe, he did not use his power to conquer the universe, or spread his reputation to any place where intelligent creatures existed.

But these years of getting along have made Carl fully aware of the fact that if Alexander, his dear brother, really wants to achieve something, there is almost nothing that can stand in the way of his ultimate goal.

The reason there is an "almost" here is because of Karl.

Alexander's style is rather low-key, never showing any strong independent will, as if for him, as long as Karl's life is as good as it is, he is content.

Karl had always been indifferent to this attitude.

In the early days of being Superman, he did a lot to make Alexander feel at ease with him, trying to stir up the part of Alexander who wanted freedom.

But as time went by, he gradually realized that staying by his side was what Alexander wanted.

Not only was Alexander happy to grant all his wishes, but Alexander was able to understand Karl's wishes before he realized it himself, and to initiate certain deployments.

"You won't..." Carl raised his upper body from the table and stared at Alexander in surprise.

Alexander did not answer him, but drew Karl's attention with practical actions: he bent down and opened the drawer.

This action made the corners of Carl's eyes twitch, and his facial expression became a little weird. He thought in his heart that he couldn't do it. Could it be that Alexander would take out an infinity gem from the drawer?

Alexander took out a box slightly bigger than a palm from the drawer.

The surface of the box is imitating wood grain. Carl can see that the material it actually uses is a kind of cosmic metal with astonishing hardness. This unnamed metal is too hard and no one cares about it. Unexpectedly, Alexander found a cutting tool. and the method of forging it.

Carl didn't see through the box, but suddenly he had a premonition that his complaints were about to come true.

No way?

Not so much, right?

What did Alexander want the Infinity Stones for?It doesn't seem to be useful for him to hold it, and he doesn't have a serious collection of precious things like collectors, and he sends out rewards all over the universe for the things he likes.

And just as various thoughts flew through Carl's mind, Alexander also opened the box that was imitated into wood.

A purple glow emanated from it, and Carl's premonition came true—Alexander had indeed kept an Infinity Stone in his office drawer.

"...I don't know what I can say. This incident is beyond my expectations. Let me take it easy." Carl said with difficulty, "If I remember correctly, this gemstone is the Stone of Power? Isn't it Was it given to Xandar by the Guardians of the Galaxy? How did you get it?"

When facing Ronan the Accuser, Peter used the energy of the Stone of Power to defeat Ronan, so the Stone of Power before that should be in the hands of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Karl thinks that Alexander should get the power from Xandar stone.

No, stealing is not Alexander's style. Although Alexander himself should not care about the means, he will not ignore Karl's ideas.

In Carl's shocked and puzzled eyes, Alexander explained:

"Thanos once put a bounty on the 'Cosmic Orb' (the Power Stone), and it came to me before the Guardians of the Galaxy got it. What Peter Quill later stole was just a replica."

"You copied...the power gem?"

"It is the weakest of the Infinity Stones, at least when used alone." Alexander said calmly, "Resists and replicates physical superpowers, and enhances its physical attack and defense to the point that it is almost invincible— —The power gem is purely physics-based until it touches other gems, and the power of the physics department is easy to analyze."

"Don't tell me you've got other gems," Carl said.

Alexander looked at him and closed his mouth.

"...I get it, I get it."

Carl's mood is so complicated that ten thousand words are not enough to describe it.

Surprise, rejoicing and helplessness accounted for the majority. Seeing Alexander's nonchalant appearance, he finally decided to skip this topic.

Otherwise, what do you say?

Of course he could tell Alexander not to touch these dangerous energy bodies, but saying this was inconsistent with his consistent emphasis on free will.

Moreover, Alexander has been holding the power gem for so long and just throwing it in the drawer to eat ashes, so there must be no strange ambitions. According to Carl's speculation, research psychology and curiosity should account for the majority.

"What do you want to study?" Karl asked curiously.

"According to a long-standing legend, the Nemesis Goddess 'Punishment' transformed herself into six gemstones because her long life was too lonely. I am curious about the principle of this transformation between life and matter." Alexander didn't have the slightest idea. Reservation, "I think this special power conversion act is very helpful, and I also want to know, if I can collect six gems, can I convert them back into 'God's punishment'."

"It sounds very difficult," Carl commented, "but it sounds more reliable than conquering the universe."

"Only a fool wants to conquer the universe." Alexander said lightly, "I just want to conquer myself."

"I like this saying."

Carl laughed easily, the red gemstone in his hand exuded dazzling brilliance.

He gently placed the Reality Stone on Alexander's desk.

The moment the reality gem lost its shackles, it turned into a red liquid, trying to escape, but another force firmly held it in place.

The red liquid substance slammed left and right in the invisible cage. Alexander stretched out his hand and held it together with the transparent round cage. He didn't know what he did. The Reality Gem turned into an oval shape in his hand. solid.

He put the Reality Stone in the faux wood case, next to the Power Stone.

As if they sensed that they were beside their companions, they flickered lightly at the same time as if they were breathing.

The lights of the two colors intertwined. I don't know if it was Karl's illusion. He vaguely felt that they had communicated.

The six infinity stones all have very powerful energy. This news is no longer a secret at a certain level, but do the infinity stones have other mysteries, for example, they have actually become another... life form?

"Thanks, Carl," Alexander said.

"I guess you can get this without my help." Carl shrugged, "but what are you going to do with the other gems? Except for the soul gem, they all have their own owners, and I guess no gem owner will Willing to trade the gems."

"If reality gems can indeed modify reality as rumored, these problems will no longer be problems." Alexander said lightly, then paused, as if realizing something, "I will not directly modify reality to get those gems hands, and won't take their gems from their current owners—at least not from them."

"Hmm," Carl said, waiting for Alexander's next explanation.

"They need the power of the Infinity Gem, and I need the life code contained in the Infinity Gem." Alexander smiled slightly, "I can use the Reality Gem to divide the gem in their hands into two, and the power belongs to them, 'God's Punishment' life is mine."

Logically, there seems to be nothing wrong.In Alexander's mouth, this incident seems to be just a reverse process.

But is it really possible to "reverse life"?

Carl is strongly skeptical.

He doesn't know much about ancient gods like Nemesis. The ancient gods of the same era are dying and walking in this universe. What Karl knows are gods who are still alive in this world and have always maintained their activities.

Speaking of gods, they are actually just creatures that are powerful to a certain extent.

Their attitude towards Karl is not bad. Although they don't say how welcome they are, they don't particularly repel or hate them. The Goddess of Death, who dislikes Superman the most, just lazily complained a few words, and rushed Superman into her lightly. The act of snatching people in the field was thrown into the back of his mind.

Probably because, even if Superman takes away the soul of the dead person himself, the soul that belongs to her will eventually return to her embrace.

The existence of these gods itself is the law and power of the universe. Their lives and powers have been combined. Even if Alexander can strip and aggregate the so-called power and life codes, there is a high probability that the Nemesis will wake up again. Not the past 'God's Punishment'.

But this kind of thing... no one can tell what the result will be.

Karl nodded, accepting Alexander's words.

Maybe the Infinity Stones are a new race, like those new gods born after the old gods died; maybe the Infinity Stones are just a collection of energies with great power, but not every stone has its own soul .

Either possibility, or neither, seemed to have nothing to do with what Alexander was about to do.

"Here," said Alexander suddenly, "take it, Karl."

He pushed the small imitation wood-grain box to Carl, and the closed box slid smoothly on the table without making any noise.

"Huh? What do you do for me?"

"You have a face full of 'it seems fun, I want to try it too'." Alexander smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, no matter the expression or state, he was no different from ordinary humans.

He is more and more like a "human being", which is not normal, because artificial intelligence life forms are completely different from human beings, and the gap between them and humans is as wide as the gap between the earth and the sun.

Deliberate imitation and learning may represent that he is drawing the nourishment he needs from human beings.

Combined with his collection of infinite gems, he wants to obtain the code of life forms from it... Karl's heart moved, and he asked, "Have you found your evolutionary path?"

"Not yet, Carl, I've been trying, but I haven't gotten anything of value yet." Even after saying this, Alexander seemed undaunted, "It doesn't matter. Seeking the future and evolution itself is difficult work, I I was already mentally prepared.”

"I'm also mentally prepared," Carl whispered.

He took the box containing the Reality Gem and Power Gem into his hand, put it in a small storage device, and invited with a smile:

"Come on, brother, we haven't done anything together for a long time, today is a rare opportunity to go to the movies together?"

Alexander stared at his smiling face and found no reason to refuse.

Although he always has.
