Chapter 58: Chapter 58 The Power of Thanos
Regarding the fact that Thanos destroyed the planet Xandar, Ronan actually did not tell anyone after he returned, but wanted to take the blame on himself.
However, in order to avoid fighting on two fronts, the Kree Empire deliberately said that it was Thanos who destroyed Xandar.
This was to appease the Peace Alliance people.
Although they didn't know that they had hit the mark by accident and had spoken the truth correctly.
The Peace Alliance did not want to go to war with the Kree Empire, so they acquiesced to the news.
A civilization that can survive in the universe is naturally an extremely cautious one.
When facing two forces of similar strength, they will not easily start a war just because of one thing.
However, the relationship between the Peace Alliance and the Kree Empire also reached a low point.
If the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire are losing the war, they will naturally rush forward to seek revenge without hesitation.
Of course, Mera thought she knew the truth, so she didn't really think about making things difficult for Gamora.
Just when the five Guardians of the Galaxy were secretly groaning and feeling uneasy, Mera suddenly took her breath away and turned back into an ordinary woman.
"But considering that your father is also working for Ronan, I won't make things difficult for you."
Shaking her head, Meila continued, "I asked you to come here this time because I want you to do something for us. Don't worry, I will pay you 1 billion peace coins."
Of course the Nova Corps uses Peace Coin, how could they possibly use the Commercial Alliance's Cosmic Coin?
When Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon heard the number "one billion", their eyes lit up and their saliva began to flow.
"What is it? We promise to help you complete it!"
"Yes, yes, I swear on the name of the Guardians of the Galaxy, it will be done!"
Mera ignored Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon and looked at Gamora, waiting for her response.
Gamora was no longer so greedy for money, but asked solemnly: "What can I do for you?"
Mera smiled and said, "I want the Infinity Stones in Thanos's hand. If you give me one, I will give you 1 billion. If you give me two, I will give you 2 billion."
Everyone with power in the universe knows the legend of the Infinity Gems.
For example, Ronan knew about the Power Stone, so there is no reason why he, as the Archon of the Nova Corps, would not know about it.
And she wants to obtain the Infinity Stones, of course, for the power contained in the gems.
Those who can survive in the universe and become more and more powerful are not naive. They naturally want to gain stronger strength and expand their influence.
When Star-Lord heard about the Infinity Gems and Thanos, he suddenly got a headache.
Of course, he didn't know that when he was trying to obtain the Cosmic Orb, Thanos was also there, and it was the other party who ordered him to be killed.
Because he had been killed by Ronan at that time and had no idea what happened afterwards.
When he woke up the next day, he found himself in a safe place.
However, the name of the cosmic overlord Thanos, his killing of Odin and the destruction of Xandar, has been widely circulated, and basically everyone knows it.
Now they are asked to get Thanos's gem. Isn't this putting them in a difficult position?
Rocket Raccoon didn't have many concerns. He nodded without hesitation and said, "What Infinity Stones? Leave them to us, but you know, we need a deposit..."
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger together, and made a gesture that the whole universe understood.
Mera paused, looked at Gamora, and said, "I'll give you 100 million peace coins as a deposit."
With her status and strength, money is readily available to her.
On the contrary, things like Infinity Gems that increase strength are what she pursues.
When he heard the 100 million deposit, even though it was Peace Currency, he immediately put aside all his worries, nodded, and said, "Okay, we agree, let's go now!"
Rocket Raccoon also nodded and said impatiently: "Yes, yes, let's go now!"
Mera didn't say anything, but looked at Gamora.
Apparently, Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon were not good enough for her, she only had eyes for Gamora.
Gamora saw that her two teammates had agreed. Thinking of her father's threat, she also had to go back, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but I can't guarantee that I can get the Infinity Stones."
Hearing this, Meira immediately smiled and turned around and walked back.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you try your best, one gem, one billion."
…
One month later.
On an unnamed planet in the Milky Way.
Thanos was wearing golden armor and pointing his right hand towards the ground.
Huge streams of red energy continuously flowed into his hands from the earth's core.
Last time, I practiced in a star for three years and digested the energy in my body, so I can continue to use the Star Absorbing Technique.
At an average rate of absorbing one planet every ten days, this is now the third planet he has absorbed.
At this moment, Xiao Lan's voice sounded in my ears.
"Master, Miss Gamora is back."
Upon hearing this, Thanos was stunned for a moment.
He thought that given Gamora's personality, she would not come back until at least the third month.
I didn't expect to be back so soon.
But he didn't think much about it, he just increased the speed of absorption in his hands. After draining the planet dry, he flew towards Temple II in outer space.
One day later.
He returned to the temple.
It was night on Titan at this time, but due to light pollution, the starry sky was almost invisible.
There is only a purple moon, hanging alone in the sky.
When Thanos' feet stepped on the ground, he immediately felt that in addition to Gamora, there were four more strange auras around her.
However, these auras are very weak, so I didn't pay too much attention to them.
The temple on Titan was modeled after the temple on Taro and is also a series of tall towers.
However, the exterior looked as if it had simply been painted white, and compared to the magnificent golden towers of the Nova Corps, it looked very plain.
As Thanos walked, the sound of "thump thump..." echoed in the temple.
After a while, he pushed open the door, saw the brightly lit hall, and walked towards the throne.
Below the throne were Gamora, Star-Lord, a big grey-skinned man, a raccoon less than one meter tall, and a tree man more than two meters tall.
He had met Star-Lord before, so of course he knew him.
But when he saw this combination, he immediately guessed who the other three were.
At this moment, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Drax all felt extremely strong pressure, which was ten or even a hundred times stronger than what they felt from Mera.
The "thump thump..." sound of the footsteps was like stepping on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.
This made them break out in cold sweats and their legs and feet couldn't help but tremble.
Only Gamora still looked normal, but she lowered her head and her expression could not be seen.
Fortunately, Thanos did not use his full power and had no intention of targeting them, otherwise it would be a problem for them to even stand at this moment.
After a while, Thanos sat on the throne, looked at his daughter coldly, and said, "Finally you're back! Did you bring back the news I wanted?"
