In the middle of the water on the barren planet, the soul gem radiated orange light in front of Silia.

Both Thanos and Celia stared at it.For a moment, Celia saw in Thanos' gaze his longing for gems from the inside out, but that look quickly disappeared.

"I don't understand what made you change so much." Celia said, "You have fulfilled your dream, but now you want to destroy it with your own hands."

Thanos raised his eyes and looked at her.

"I guess, you have another doubt in your heart." Thanos said.

Yes, Celia really couldn't figure it out.

"Why did the soul gem choose me?"

"I thought, maybe I'm not the best person to explain this." Thanos said quietly, "I've seen a wider world, kid. That made me reflect on my shortsightedness, and even everyone's shortsightedness." —perhaps I still don't know as much as I thought, so I can't answer you."

"What does that mean?" Celia asked suspiciously.

"There are some questions that only you can answer." Thanos said.His eyes turned to the stone door, and he said flatly, "Tell me, Celia. A warm illusion, and a less interesting reality, which one do you choose?"

Celia looked at Thanos, her eyes did not hesitate.

"I want the truth," she said.

"Oh?" Thanos raised his eyebrows, "You have to think about it, kid. In that real world, maybe Superman doesn't belong to you."

Celia froze.She wasn't surprised that Thanos had been pretending not to know the truth all along, but his words.

Yes, in the normal world, she and Clark might not be together.But……

"The soul gem is not the real world." Silia said calmly, "I want everything to be real. Even if the truth is cruel."

If in the normal world, Superman has another lover, it doesn't matter.It was a normal earth, maybe Clark needed a more normal girlfriend.And she and Clark had only known each other inside the Soul Gem for a few months.

If Superman is lost, she accepts it.She can live alone, she has always been the most cold-blooded towards herself.

But she couldn't accept that she had peeked into a small corner of the truth and then kept it hidden and pretended nothing happened.

cowardly act.

Only the weak escape.

Celia was not like that.For the same wound, some people would hide the wound, but Xilia was the one who would choose to tear it open.

After thinking about it, Xilia used her index finger and thumb to lightly pinch the orange glowing soul gem. She raised her head and raised her hand. The soul gem was between her fingers, emitting light.

Xilia raised her head, she slowly let go of her hand, and saw that the soul gem disappeared from her fingertips, and then, on the dark sky, a star emitting orange light appeared and gradually disappeared.

At the same time, on Earth, Doctor Strange was meditating in the blizzard of Mount Everest. He slowly opened his eyes, and through the snow fog, he saw an orange bright spot slowly lighting up over the mountains.

Strange smiled.

The supreme mage sat cross-legged on the top of the mountains, and snowflakes dyed his temples white.He stretched out his hand towards the sky, and the soul gem slowly landed on the palm of his hand.

Time to go back among friends.

Doctor Strange appeared in the large conference room of the comprehensive base, and I saw that the superheroes were all bent over and sitting on chairs, some covering their heads, some talking in low voices, and some...

Peter Parker curled up on the sofa, shivering, because Tony was staring at him with extremely heavy, complicated, and self-blaming eyes.That was too heavy for a boy.

Captain America was also in a slump, Bucky comforted him for a long time but it didn't work, so he just slapped him on the back with an iron arm, almost sending Steve flying.

The other couples were basically the same, comforting each other in low voices.

When they saw Strange, their eyes became complicated.

"You all remember," Doctor Strange said calmly.

"I think about it, but there are still many doubts." Steve put down his hand covering his waist, and he said seriously, "According to our memory, there are still living heroes. Why do everyone appear in the Soul Gem now?" inside?"

"It's a protective mechanism," said Doctor Strange.

"Protect who? Protect us? Why do you want to do this?" Tony looked up, and he would become aggressive when he got angry. "Isn't our enemy Thanos? Obviously Thanos doesn't need this level of defense, but He is still the one who led Celia to find the truth. Who can make Thanos change his mind, and who is the enemy?"

Anger and self-blame made Tony's brain spin faster, and he mercilessly clarified the crux of the problem.

"Yeah, if this is the world inside the soul gem, what about the real world?" Peter said blankly.

"Don't give him a chance to interrupt, kid," Tony said dryly. "If it was possible, he'd tell us nothing—as if we were strangers. Is it weird? I thought it was at least 'friends too. ’ or ‘comrades’?”

Strange looked at Tony. "I still prefer you in this world, Tony," he said. "You look like you're going to have another anxiety attack."

"Then please, say something!"

Strange sighed softly.

"The truth is hard to swallow, folks," he said, "and it is time."

"Before you start talking, I want to confirm one thing." Superman, who had been silent in the corner just now, finally raised his head, "Where did Celia go?"

"She went to find the truth," Strange said quietly. "You know what she is."

Yeah, Clark knows.From the first time they went to the Fortress of Solitude, he knew... Xilia actually had a different idea from his. She said that she didn't want to live under the protective cover of Chaoying, and she would choose the cruel universe.

She has always been that way.

Superman was so silent, he couldn't even blame her.Because in the fused memory, Clark saw something... He didn't know if Celia saw it too.

On the other side, Celia slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to continue touching the mirror.

"Silia." Behind him, Thanos couldn't help but speak.Xilia turned her head, she met the man's heavy gaze, "Are you really ready to face everything?"

Celia raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes were peaceful.

"I'm not really your adopted daughter, am I? Father." She said, "In the real world, I'm not by your side, let alone by the superheroes. It doesn't mean anything, it just means that I'm a variable, So, I guess I have more possibilities."

Thanos' expression moved slightly, and he heard Celia say, "I don't know what's going on on the other side, so let me say goodbye to you first, goodbye, father. Be nice to Gamora, the heroes are so good, yes If you go to them, you will suffer a lot.”

She sees a microcosm of superheroes in another world, each of them accompanied, Gamora with Star-Lord and friends, and Clarke.He still has it all.

Celia turned her head, she stretched out her hand into the gray mirror, and then disappeared.
