Ch: 211-225
Chapter 211 The Kingdom of Light Elves
At first, Arthur and the others found the Universe quite novel, with its boundless expanse and countless beautiful Planets.
But after a while, they grew tired of it, like fickle men and women who quickly lose interest.
They'd rather look at each other; that was more pleasing to the eye.
Looking at the Universe again, they only felt a sense of darkness, devoid of any hope, which could easily lead to depression.
Moreover, in the Universe, they seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
Fortunately, the x-wing starfighter's speed was not slow.
They quickly arrived at Alfheim, the closest Planet to Earth.
This was the realm of the elves, surrounded by light, filled with an aura of mystery and brightness.
It could be said that the Nine Realms were each more miraculous than the last.
Only Earth seemed somewhat ordinary.
They were discovered by the elves even before they got close to Alfheim.
Fortunately, the elves were a people who cherished peace.
When Odin conquered the Nine Realms, he didn't dare to use force against the elves; he only demanded their submission.
The elves, not wanting war, chose to nominally obey Asgard and remained neutral.
And clearly, Asgard didn't dare to do anything to them, so they had coexisted peacefully ever since.
This is a World that values strength.
To remain neutral, one must first possess strength that others fear.
"Humans, where do you come from?"
As soon as Arthur and his group entered the area, the elves' inquiry echoed in their minds.
The Light Elves possessed incredible abilities, far stronger than the Dark Elves.
That's why the Dark Elves were almost wiped out by the Asgardians... Arthur replied telepathically, "We are people from Midgard, and we have come to explore the Universe."
"Do you have any resources that you can trade with us?"
"Resources? We have Light Energy Stones."
The Light Elves said, "But we don't need any resources."
This was one of the reasons why the Light Elves did not participate in the affairs of the Nine Realms.
They were too prosperous and able to live their own lives well, so they naturally loved peace.
If they were starving and lacked any resources, they would surely venture into the outside Worldto invade.
Asgard was in a similar situation at one point.
After all, the land area of Asgard was too small; it was even only as large as one continent of the U.S. on Earth.
It's conceivable that Asgard's resources were actually scarce.
They used their resources to enter other Worlds, initiating the Nine Realms War.
"Light Energy Stones? What are those?"
Arthur was very curious.
The unique conditions of the Nine Realms gave birth to different races.
Especially the giants; the giants were the earliest beings in the Nine Realms, even earlier than the Asgardians.
If one were to speak of natives, those giants were the true natives.
But unfortunately, they were beaten by the Asgardians.
"Light Energy Stones contain the energy of light magic and can be used for construction and defense; buildings constructed with them are hard and possess light magic."
The elves did not hide anything but openly told Arthur .
However, Arthur really couldn't imagine what a building filled with light magic would look like.
Could it be that the whole house wouldn't need any appliances?
Then how would one sleep at night?
Of course, the Light Elves probably didn't care; they could get used to it anyway.
Arthur asked curiously, "Can we visit your World?"
"Of course, but you cannot wander around freely."
The benevolent Light Elves, considering that the people of Midgard had only just left Earth after so many years, agreed to Arthur 's request.
They allowed him to land and observe Alfheim.
Chapter 212 Friendly Trade Agreement
Chun Li and Jill were both very curious.
Although they had traveled across the Universe, they had never actually visited another Planet.
It was a novel experience.
Kara was also a bit curious.
Though she had memories of Kryptonian, they were very distant now.
And she was only a few years old then, so many things weren't deeply ingrained in her memory.
Although she was an alien, she had always been held captive by the Russians, which was truly miserable.
When they landed, they were immediately like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
But in reality, Alfheim was not as prosperous as they had imagined.
Because the Light Elves are a race close to nature.
They are close to nature, environmentally friendly, and peace-loving.
Soon, they met the Light Elves who had telepathically contacted them.
The other party indeed had pointed ears and exquisite beauty.
"Hello," Arthur said.
The Light Elves also kindly said, "Welcome, you may stay in Alfheim for a few days."
"However, your movements will be restricted. Please follow me now."
The beautiful Light Elf said to them.
Arthur and the others immediately followed.
"This is your city?"
Arthur was a bit surprised.
The Light Elves' architecture was actually sparse, but the few buildings they had were very magnificent.
The rest were surrounded by tree branches, and many ancient trees seemed to have existed since the Planet itself.
Many Light Elves lived directly in them.
And Arthur and the others also saw that the Light Elves' architecture indeed had a sacred glow.
Is this the special effect of the Light Stone?
It looked just like a sacred building.
"Where are these Earthlings from?"
And Arthur and the others were like entering a zoo.
Except they were the animals.
The Light Elves seemed to rarely see outsiders, so they were very curious about them.
"Are they Asgardians?"
"Not really, every Asgardian is so arrogant, thinking they're amazing."
"Hey, Earthlings, where are you from?"
A Light Elf called out.
Arthur replied, "Earth."
"Where is Earth?"
The Light Elves looked at each other.
"It's Midgard!" Arthur had to say.
"So you call yourselves Earth."
They followed the guiding Elf into the 'glowing' sacred building.
The Elves only had priests; they had no natural enemies in this place and did not contend for power or profit.
This was somewhat incredible in Arthur 's eyes.
If it were Earthlings, they would have started infighting long ago, and it would be a fight to the death.
One could only say that the character of the Light Elves was truly extraordinary.
Arthur and the others soon met the priest.
Even the priest's attire was very simple; the only difference between her and the other Elves was that her clothes also glowed.
"Midgardians, welcome. Is this an official visit?"
"Of course," Arthur said, "We are the first from Midgard to explore the Nine Realms, and we represent Midgard."
"In that case, welcome to Alfheim."
The priestess smiled, "We are happy to see our brethren of the Nine Realms flourish."
Arthur then said, "Thank you."
"However, we have already been threatened. Not long ago, the infamous Titan Thanos led the Chitauri to invade us. Although we repelled him with all our might, his Black Order could attack us at any time."
The priestess immediately said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot help you."
"It's alright. What we lack now are resources. To build sufficient defensive fortifications, we need a large amount of resources. Can we sign a friendly trade agreement?"
Hearing Arthur 's words, the priestess could no longer refuse.
"Of course."
Her beautiful eyes deeply gazed at Arthur .
Chapter 213 Dark Forest Law
Next, Arthur and his team understood what resources Alfheim possessed.
Besides special resources like Light Stones, Alfheim was abundant in all other resources.
Moreover, because the Light Elves cherished nature and rarely mined these resources, they were almost untouched and could be freely extracted.
This gave Arthur a feeling of conquering them.
But that was just a thought.
Why didn't the Light Elves reject them?
Of course, the current outcome was also good; they could trade freely.
And what Arthur and his team had to pay was just fruit.
That's right, the Light Elves didn't need their resources.
When Arthur took them on a tour of the spaceship, they immediately took a liking to the juicy fruits.
Especially fruits with high water and sugar content.
Things like watermelons and ginseng fruits.
Thus, an agreement was quickly formed.
There was no need for a formal signing; the Light Elves didn't follow that custom. The priestess simply gave a verbal promise.
Arthur wasn't worried that they would go back on their word.
After all, these were the Light Elves.
If one were to ask whose credibility was best in the Nine Realms, it would undoubtedly be the Light Elves.
Subsequently, Arthur communicated with Earth.
Thanks to the presence of the space station, their signal was unaffected throughout the Nine Realms.
He quickly relayed this news to his people on Earth.
Upon receiving the news, Julia immediately acknowledged it.
While other things were not plentiful, fruit was very abundant.
Moreover, they could buy directly from the source.
The only issue was preservation.
Those with short shelf lives would be problematic.
Unless they were transported directly after purchase.
Meanwhile, on Alfheim, the Light Elves invited Arthur and his team to stay, and they began singing and dancing.
However, the Light Elves really weren't very good at entertaining.
There were no new tricks!
After two days, Arthur and his team's transport fleet arrived.
Arthur introduced Julia to the Light Elves, then let them discuss the details of the trade.
Subsequently, they all boarded the x-wing fighter again.
The first stop in the Nine Realms made them believe this journey would be very smooth.
After all, they had gained the friendship of the Light Elves.
But soon, they realized they were wrong.
Otherwise, why would the Dark Forest theory still hold true?
When they arrived at the other realms, Arthur and his team were attacked before they even landed.
If it weren't for the x-wing fighter's energy shield, the fighter might have been destroyed.
This angered Kara, who immediately rushed down from the spaceship and gave the attackers a good beating.
Jotunheim, this was the giants' territory.
Frost Giants, Wind Giants, and so on. The Frost Giants were the most powerful and also the most ambitious and volatile race.
They were the first race born in the Nine Realms, and logically speaking, they should be the Masters of the Nine Realms.
But unfortunately, in this World, it's never about who was born first, but who is stronger.
At this moment, Kara was in a World of ice and snow, giving the Frost Giants a thorough beating.
However, it wouldn't be easy to enslave them.
Asgard had already tried, and as a result, the Frost Giants frequently rebelled.
If Arthur and his team were to enslave them again, it would only mean opposing Asgard.
Realizing this, Arthur and his team immediately left.
They planned to move a little further away from the Nine Realms, as the Nine Realms were Asgardian territory.
Conflicts could easily arise.
So, this time, the x-wing fighter flew directly out of the Nine Realms.
However, unexpectedly, during this process, they directly encountered another spaceship.
Chapter 214 The Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe
"That fighter jet is heading towards us."
Chun Li watched the display on the radar, and not long after, a Universe fighter jet indeed appeared in their line of sight.
It appeared directly with a 'whoosh' in the Universe, looking as if it had traveled through.
"They want to talk to us."
Chun Li had already learned everything about the fighter jet, but she was still a bit unfamiliar.
"Let's see what they want to do?"
Arthur said.
So, both sides chose to connect.
A Shadow immediately appeared inside the spaceship.
This was actually a green-skinned woman.
She had short black hair, with the ends dyed red, and looked very familiar.
"Gamora?"
Arthur recognized her and was immediately curious.
"Who is this?"
Chun Li and Jill both looked at Arthur .
They hadn't expected Arthur to know her.
"Considered the most dangerous woman in the Universe by a bunch of rookies."
Arthur said, "She is Thanos's daughter, the one we scared away last time."
"?"
Supergirl Kara immediately asked, "So, how does purple skin give birth to green skin?"
"Uh, she's an adopted daughter."
Arthur explained.
"I see."
Hearing the conversation of these people, Gamora's face almost darkened.
But luckily, her skin was green, so it couldn't be seen at all.
"Are you the ones who defeated the Titan?"
Gamora asked.
"Are you here for revenge?"
Supergirl Kara immediately asked.
"Of course not."
Gamora quickly shook her head; she didn't want to conflict with these people.
Even Thanos was directly scared away.
She found the news incredible at the time.
Thanos, who was famous throughout the Universe, was actually scared away in a remote place.
So much so that it made Gamora question life.
Then she went to test Thanos, and although Thanos tried very hard to hide his emotions,
Gamora still noticed it.
Thanos was very angry and also very scared.
Gamora had almost never detected such emotions from Thanos.
So she indeed came over, sensing an opportunity for revenge.
Thanos massacred her people and even kept her by his side, enjoying this hateful feeling.
For Gamora, this was absolutely the most painful thing.
Thanos was definitely a pervert, otherwise, his actions couldn't be explained.
And Gamora hadn't expected that as soon as she arrived in this remote Milky Way Galaxy, she would find the people who had scared away Thanos.
"I'm here to ask for help."
Gamora immediately said.
"What kind of help?"
Chun Li said solemnly. Of course, they didn't believe her, not knowing what Gamora was up to.
They only knew her identity and title, which was already enough to make people take her seriously.
So, Gamora said, "I want you to deal with Thanos."
"Why should we help you?"
Arthur said indifferently.
If Thanos didn't come looking for trouble, they really wouldn't need to go find him.
Gamora said, "Because he's set his sights on your Planet."
"He won't give up until he succeeds, and you will never have peace."
"If you're constantly being targeted, who can stand it? It's better to take the initiative."
Although Gamora didn't know the saying, 'There are only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against one,' the principle was the same.
Arthur also thought this made a lot of sense.
"Let's find a place to talk."
Hearing this, Gamora breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
She had truly come with sincerity.
As long as Thanos could be dealt with, she would do anything.
Chapter 215 What do I want you to do?
Then, the two fighter jets found the nearest inhabited Planet and landed directly.
This Planet was outside the Nine Realms, and they had used a FTL engine.
The Universe was like having countless slingshots; the engine used this elasticity to'slingshot' the spaceship far away.
From this, it could be seen that there was probably such elasticity between every galaxy.
Only at this time would one lament how truly vast the Universe was.
It was even somewhat abnormally large.
No one knew where the boundaries of the galaxy were, or if it truly had limits.
Because humans couldn't even leave the Solar System… with such a short lifespan, it was almost impossible to explore the entire Universe.
Moreover, there were so many dangers in the Universe.
Therefore, there were various conjectures and theories.
For example, cell theory.
Just like in cultivation novels, humans were merely cells of some powerful being… This Planethad no life.
Planets relatively close to the Nine Realms had no life.
It was precisely because of this that the Nine Realms could maintain their mystery.
In the Universe, only Asgard was the most famous of the Nine Realms.
For a very long time, it was estimated that Asgard had waged war in the Universe.
This aligned with the ambitions of Odin and Hela.
The opposing spaceship opened its hatch.
Gamora, with green skin and wearing black leather, stepped out.
Arthur and Kara also opened their hatches and descended, while Chun Li and Jill remained in the fighter jet.
Arthur looked at her: "How did you know this Planet was suitable for human survival?"
Gamora replied upon hearing this: "My spaceship can detect the air content of this Planet."
"So that's how it is."
Arthur nodded.
No wonder Gamora had first flown a circle around this Planet.
In fact, in the Star Wars Worldview, there were also methods for detecting air.
However, it required releasing those spherical robots to detect after the spaceship had landed.
Clearly, it was not as advanced as the Marvel Universe.
In Arthur 's opinion, it was clear that there were pros and cons in terms of technology.
It was even possible that the technology of the Star Wars World was not as good as this World.
This was also normal.
Fortunately, Arthur wasn't only skilled in technology.
If technology didn't work, he also knew a little about fighting.
"What do you want to do?"
"I need your help; let's go kill Thanos together."
Gamora said directly.
"Killing him is easy, but why should we do that?"
Arthur asked.
He wasn't in the Universe to do charity.
Killing someone without gaining anything.
Even assassins required payment.
"He has always wanted to act against you."
"But we already scared him away."
Thanos was clearly startled at the time; seeing his and Kara's strength, he scurried away.
Gamora was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said: "I know of a Cosmic Stone that possesses the Power to destroy Planets."
"I know that too."
Arthur said dismissively: "Isn't it just the Power Stone?"
His words choked Gamora.
Gamora had originally intended to use this as a reward… but Arthur already knew everything.
Who was the bumpkin after all?
"Say something meaningful."
Arthur said, looking at Gamora.
Gamora glanced at Kara, then gritted her teeth and said: "As long as you agree, I am yours; this body of mine is yours to do with as you please."
This made Kara look at her, then looked at Arthur with great shock.
Did Arthur want this green-skinned woman too?
Arthur immediately twitched his mouth: "What would I want you for? Isn't she more appealing?"
He hooked Kara's chin, indicating that he was not lacking in beautiful women at all.
Chapter 216 Arrogant and Proud
For Arthur , there was no shortage of beautiful women.
If he wanted to, he could hold beauty pageants in several Worlds.
He guaranteed that all the chosen women would be as beautiful as celestial beings.
And even if he wasn't picky, Arthur would never touch Gamora.
Green skin was too strange; after all, goblins and the like were also that color.
Though Gamora was indeed a great beauty.
However, Kara, who was being teased, was displeased.
If Arthur thought she was beautiful, why had he never touched her?
She wasn't unaware of Arthur 's relationships with others.
Instead, she felt she should also have a share.
But Arthur , that scoundrel, after initially helping her cleanse her body and change her clothes, had never touched even a single one of her fingers again.
So, she just gave Arthur a glare.
Arthur didn't mind, putting his arm around Kara and saying, "What I need are resources, any kind of resources will do."
"But I don't have any."
Gamora frowned.
"You can think about it."
Arthur said.
"I can only tell you the location; I can't mine it for you."
"No problem."
"I know a Planet rich in resources."
Gamora said.
There was a hint of sadness in her tone.
After all, that was her home Planet, where many Zehoberei people once lived, but now, she was the last survivor.
Although the Zehoberei Planet was abandoned, its resources were still there, just waiting for someone to mine them.
Of course, it was easy now; all that was needed was mechanical mining.
Only a small number of people would need to operate it.
"Deal."
Arthur nodded.
Then, Gamora asked, "When do we depart?"
"Right now. We haven't explored the Universe yet, so you can introduce it to us."
Arthur said.
So, both parties returned to their respective starships.
Gamora's image appeared directly on Arthur 's starfighter, and she said, "Please follow me."
Next, she led the way while explaining the power divisions in the Universe.
Besides the three most famous Empires, she also introduced many other slightly stronger factions.
The three great Empires were the Kree Empire, the Skrull Empire, and the Shi'ar Empire.
Among them, the Skrull Empire was the oldest Empire in the Universe.
But now, it was being chased by the Kree across the Universe, only able to avoid war.
Other factions included groups like the Nova Corps, and also the Black Order, who did nothing good.
It was still the same old saying: the Universe was too vast.
Even Gamora, who had been roaming the Universe for so long, didn't know all the information.
For example, she had never heard of Earth before.
If Thanos hadn't been searching for the Infinity Stones and discovered it, they would at most only know about Asgard.
In the vast and boundless Universe, Earth had no place at all.
"What's going on up ahead?"
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Kara interrupted Gamora and pointed forward.
In the distant Universe, many golden fighters were blocking the way.
Gamora looked and said, "These are the Sovereign."
"Their skin is all golden, and even their buildings are. They're very much nouveau riche."
Gamora had a slight dislike for this race: "They are extremely arrogant and haughty; dealing with them is the worst."
"They've blocked the road, probably because their High Priest or someone important is leaving."
Arthur said, "Then let's take another route."
"No problem."
Gamora also didn't want to start a conflict; their target was Thanos.
Chapter 217: Sisters of Life and Death
A dark place in the Universe.
The nearest galaxies here are almost uninhabited, and no one would come here to explore for no reason.
After all, there are no legends of treasure here.
In the Universe, there are many professions like bounty hunters, and also professional treasure hunters.
They are like pirates in the Age of Discovery; many people want to get rich overnight.
Such examples are not unheard of.
People often find exotic treasures in the Universe, then find buyers, and instantly become wealthy.
The entire Universe is too vast; no one knows where treasures might be.
But this particular spot is definitely avoided by everyone.
Because here resides the mad Titan and his Dark Cult.
At this moment, two spacecraft approached and were inspected by the Dark Cult.
"Are we really just waltzing into someone else's territory like this?"
Jill felt a bit uneasy at this point.
"What if we fall into a trap?"
"Don't worry, Gamora's entire family was killed by Thanos."
Arthur simply said.
This reassured Jill a little, but she was still very worried.
Chun Li, however, was not afraid.
"I did the same thing in my World, fighting my way in."
"Alright."
Jill prepared herself.
She put on her uniform, and her weapons were all equipped.
The Dark Cult's spacecraft quickly moved aside.
Because Gamora was leading the way.
Gamora is Thanos's daughter and also the most dangerous woman in the Universe; hardly anyone within the Dark Cult dares to provoke her.
Arthur and his x-wing fighter followed her in.
The Dark Cult clearly had no intention of building up this star system.
They merely occupied it, and Arthur and his starfighters headed directly for the Dark Cult's headquarters.
The Sanctuary.
This is a colossal spacecraft, even by Universe standards.
It looked incredibly imposing.
And this was Thanos's entire fortune.
Thanos had been roaming the Universe for so long, yet he had only built two star destroyer-class spacecraft like this.
It shows that without his own territory, acquiring resources is very difficult.
Even with Thanos's constant plundering, he didn't have much wealth.
The two fighters were directly brought inside and parked on the internal hangar bay of the spacecraft.
Looking around, it was filled with small, standardized fighter jets.
However, Thanos's aesthetic was too ugly.
Arthur looked at these fighters and had no interest in them.
"Even if we stole them, these things would need to be remade."
Gamora came down and gave them a look.
Then she motioned for them to follow her.
Along the way, Gamora moved as if no one was there.
She had always dreamed of killing Thanos, and now her heart was filled only with prayer.
So she didn't even consider the possibility of failure.
If she failed, she had nothing to fear; at worst, it would be death.
And seeing Arthur so confident, she assumed they wouldn't fail.
At this moment, Gamora was stopped.
"Who are they?"
A blue-skinned, bald woman, with almost half of her body mechanically enhanced, appeared before them.
She was very tall, and her gaze towards Gamora was strange, carrying both hatred and joy.
"My friends."
Gamora said directly, "Nebula, this is none of your business. We are going to see Thanos."
"He's in the center of the Sanctuary, but how do I know the people you brought won't be dangerous?"
"When did you become his lackey, Nebula?"
"Ever since you never let me win, you damned sister."
The two women seemed on the verge of war.
Arthur spoke, "Ladies, you'll have plenty of time to argue later, but can you let us finish our business now?"
Chapter 218 Thanos feels that he is capable
Nebula had already understood their intentions by this point.
After all, she had also been looking for an opportunity to kill Thanos.
But she didn't think that the people Gamora brought could kill Thanos.
Instead, they might be walking into a trap.
"Just you all?"
"That's not something you need to worry about."
"Who's worried about you?"
Nebula glared at Arthur .
They were different from Arthur 's memories.
They were more beautiful than their movie counterparts.
Gamora's hair reached her shoulders, the top part was her natural black, and the bottom was dyed red, and her features were also more attractive.
She looked a bit like the version from the Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy game.
At this moment, Gamora, with a resolve to die, directly swept past Nebula.
Nebula watched with a complex expression, silently following them.
They turned left and right inside the Sanctuary, passing many Dark Cult members along the way.
Chun Li and Jill carefully counted them and memorized the escape routes.
Many girls are prone to getting lost, but Chun Li and Jill were clearly not.
They didn't have the strength of Arthur and Kara, but self-preservation was clearly not an issue.
With Gamora as the Captain leading the way, they arrived at the center of the Sanctuary unimpeded.
"Buzz!"
As the automatic door detected someone and opened directly.
The people inside also noticed them.
Besides Thanos, his Black Order were also there, apparently discussing something.
The Black Order were the five strongest individuals under Thanos.
Each member had strengths and weaknesses, complementing each other.
They were Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight, a married couple.
And Ebony Maw, Supergiant, and Black Dwarf.
Among them, the most loyal to Thanos was not Corvus Glaive, the leader of the Black Order, but his wife, Proxima Midnight.
The one who hated Thanos the most was Black Dwarf.
He chose to endure humiliation to protect his people.
The moment Thanos saw Arthur and Kara, he recognized them.
"Gamora!"
Thanos's massive body immediately stood up.
"You betrayed me!"
"She wants to kill you every day, isn't it normal for her to betray you?"
Arthur didn't let Gamora speak, stepping forward directly.
"And even among those around you, who doesn't want to kill you?"
Hearing Arthur 's words, although the Black Order didn't know him, their expressions changed.
He had hit a nerve.
"I will never betray you."
Ebony Maw quickly expressed his loyalty.
Regardless of what others were thinking, they also quickly spoke up.
"Enough nonsense."
Arthur said indifferently, "You purple potato spirit, if you dare to come to Earth and provoke us, you must be prepared to be killed by us."
"All the resources you've collected are mine!"
"Arrogant!"
Thanos was incredibly angry, but he didn't foolishly make a move; instead, he immediately put on his battle armor.
Seeing Thanos being so cowardly, Arthur also smiled.
Thanos was a very pragmatic person who knew when to be arrogant and when to act tough.
At least now, it was definitely not the time for him to act tough.
He had personally witnessed the strength of Arthur and Kara, which made him flee directly, not even daring to utter a single threat.
So now, he was fully armed, knowing he couldn't run.
The enemy had already reached his spaceship; where else could he run?
Was he going to abandon his own Universe battleship?
Therefore, he put on his armor and picked up his battle blade.
After doing all this, he finally felt secure and thought he was capable.
Chapter 219 Normal Thanos
Thanos's set of equipment was forged with a massive amount of resources, making it a divine artifact even in the Universe.
At this moment, he was surrounded by a deep sense of security.
"Gamora, I have always treated you like a daughter; why did you betray me?"
Thanos truly loved Gamora the most.
He just couldn't show it.
That's why it seemed unbelievable when Thanos pushed Gamora off the cliff to obtain the Soul Stone.
But Gamora didn't see it that way.
She only considered it a nightmare.
Therefore, Gamora's eyes were filled with hatred as she frantically said, "You beast, you killed my entire race, and you have the nerve to say such things?"
"You have to understand me; the burden on this Universe is too great."
Thanos spoke as if he genuinely cared about the Universe.
This greatly angered Gamora: "That's why you deserve to die."
"Why don't you sacrifice yourself?"
"If I sacrificed myself, who would save this Universe?"
Thanos had a self-righteous expression.
"You're beyond saving."
Arthur said this.
Arthur looked at Kara: "Leave the others to you."
"Okay."
Although Kara was also eager to fight, she knew Arthur was stronger than her.
Thanos stopped talking nonsense and stared at Arthur : "I'm waiting for my subordinates, what are you waiting for?"
"A bunch of ants, it's easy to kill you all."
Arthur said disdainfully.
"Buzz!"
Then, he instantly vanished, appearing before Thanos like a phantom.
This was just Thanos in his normal state.
Although he once possessed an Infinity Stone, he gave the Mind Stone to Loki... So, now Thanoshad no external power, only his own strength as an Eternal.
The Eternal are powerful, possessing unparalleled strength, endurance, regeneration, and agility.
Moreover, Thanos's skin was indestructible, capable of resisting many negative statuses.
In front of ordinary people, Thanos truly seemed no different from a god.
However, Arthur always believed that so-called gods were merely powerful individuals.
In the face of true Superman strength, Thanos seemed insignificant.
Arthur 's fists were like blurs; Thanos could initially see them, but soon couldn't even make them out, let alone block them.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The purple potato-like being was directly sent flying by Arthur like a sandbag.
His body crashed into the wall, breaking right through it.
"Ding!"
Immediately, an alarm blared throughout the sanctuary.
Gamora instantly drew her weapon from her back, an extendable long blade.
"These people are the Black Order, all Thanos's lackeys."
"Leave them to me."
Kara directly tore open her collar, and in an instant, her clothes transformed into a battlesuit.
"Cool!"
Gamora was a little surprised, not expecting the seemingly aloof woman to transform so stylishly.
Then, she looked at Chun Li and Jill.
Jill shrugged: "Don't count on us; we didn't know we were coming to someone else's Base to fight."
Although she found it exhilarating, she was indeed a bit flustered.
Especially now that all passages were open, and the cannon fodder of the Dark Cult poured in.
These were the Outriders created by Thanos.
Similar to the Parademons from Apokolips next door, these were creatures Thanos created through genetic engineering, loyal to Thanos.
They possessed some special powers, such as invisibility.
So, before Gamora could warn them, Chun Li, as a martial artist, sensed them.
"Something's approaching!"
Chun Li said, delivering a flying kick.
Chapter 220 Infinite Bullets and Lightsaber
"Bang!"
Chun Li kicked a Vanguard flying.
Then she looked at Jill: "How do we deal with so many of them?"
"Watch me."
Jill Valentine said.
This made Chun Li a little puzzled.
She had only just met Jill and hadn't yet witnessed Jill's strength.
However, she did have a basic understanding; for example, Jill was previously a member of STARS, so she was at least professionally trained.
Jill pulled out the pistol from her waist.
The pistol's design was very sci-fi, and there was no magazine visible, only an energy bar.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Energy bullets shot out from it, much to Chun Li's surprise.
"What kind of weapon is this? Unlimited bullets plus an energy weapon?"
Chun Li was stunned.
She was also good with pistols.
In international competitions, she had won second place, and her opponents were all international police officers.
"Developed by the company itself."
Jill said.
However, even so, the sheer number of Vanguards was too great, and they still reached the women.
Gamora didn't hesitate, she looked at the battle situation and decided to protect them.
So she charged in with her long blade.
As expected of the most dangerous woman in the Universe, she instantly stirred up a bloody storm.
Although she had no superpowers, her physical qualities were superhuman, and she was proficient in various fighting techniques from different Planets.
The Vanguards were naturally no match for her.
And at this moment, Nebula also joined in.
She chose to help Gamora.
Because she saw that Arthur and the others had the upper hand.
That damned Thanos had transformed her into this, with more than half of her body becoming mechanical, which made her both fearful of Thanos and intensely hateful of him.
Therefore, upon seeing an opportunity to kill Thanos, Nebula immediately jumped out.
With these two sisters, plus Jill and Chun Li fighting, they actually managed to hold their ground for a time.
Among them, Chun Li found her own role to be the smallest.
Although she was a martial artist, she had no advantage against these monsters.
On the other hand, Jill, she seemed a bit unlike a normal person.
When the Vanguards rushed forward, Jill directly put away her pistol and instead pulled out a cylindrical object.
As Jill pressed a button, a plasma beam immediately shot out from it.
This was a... lightsaber?
Chun Li was a little surprised.
This was thanks to Arthur constantly drawing Kyber Crystals, which he then gave to the scientists to forge into lightsabers.
Lightsabers were not a particularly difficult technology, it was just that ordinary people found them hard to use, not as smooth in operation.
So they became the standard equipment for Jedi Knights.
At this time, Jill not only had a lightsaber, she had also undergone enhancements from the biology department.
Alexia and Alex had been researching how to enhance individuals, and by the time it was applied to Jill and the others, the technology was already mature.
Each of them had become superhuman.
So at this time, Jill was no longer the little police officer from Raccoon City she once was.
Because space was limited, the four of them held their ground.
On the other side, Kara faced The Black Order alone.
The Black Order worked together; their setup was like a small squad.
Corvus Glaive was the Captain, possessing the strongest combat power; his glaive was his true body, and unless his glaive was destroyed, he would not die.
In the Dark Cult, his status was second only to Thanos.
Later, he even betrayed Thanos.
Regarding Thanos, his loyalty was not as strong as his wife, Proxima Midnight.
Proxima Midnight, her hand-to-hand combat skills were powerful, and she also possessed a divine spear forged by Thanos himself; once thrown, it would split into three black rays that could track targets, and any creature touched by it would die instantly.
Chapter 221 Supergirl's Strength
Besides this couple, there was also Ebony Maw.
Ebony Maw was the most cunning among The Black Order.
He possessed powerful telepathic abilities and could easily control others through language.
He was as cruel as Proxima Midnight.
In the team, he served as the long-range attacker.
The other member, Supergiant, was the team's scout.
She also possessed telepathic abilities and could steal memories and transmit information.
She usually helped Thanos and The Black Order gather intelligence and then relay the information.
Supergiant's subjugation by Thanos was entirely an accident.
At the time, she was pursuing Death throughout the Universe.
Thanos told her he would bring her Death, so she followed him.
Perhaps for these reasons, Supergiant did not appear when Thanos later invaded Earth.
But in any case, combat was clearly not her forte.
The last member was Black Dwarf, the tank and strongest defender among The Black Order.
Black Dwarf was forced to aid Thanos after his people were threatened.
But regardless, he had indeed committed many evil deeds.
He was the unforgivable kind.
Now, Supergirl, Kara Zor-El, faced these five individuals simultaneously.
If it were when she had just 'escaped prison,' she might not have been a match.
However, after Arthur rescued her, she, yearning for freedom, had been constantly basking in the Sun.
Sometimes she would even fly into the Universe to absorb solar energy, making herself stronger.
Although her strength was still not comparable to Arthur 's, it was enough to deal with The Black Order at this moment.
So, on the surface, it looked like The Black Order were ganging up on a boss.
Their attacks bounced off Kara as if hitting indestructible steel, merely deflecting with a 'clang'.
Even Proxima Midnight's spear, which could destroy everything,
shot at Kara with no effect whatsoever; not even Kara's uniform was damaged.
So, Kara began to display her power.
She first directly punched Corvus Glaive, and as she threw her fist, the force of the punch generated a sonic boom.
Corvus Glaive had no reaction and was directly hit in the face, sent flying by a single punch.
Immediately after, Kara flashed directly in front of Proxima Midnight.
Proxima Midnight's spear had just flown back, and before she could dodge, she saw Kara right in front of her.
At this moment, Proxima Midnight was extremely horrified.
No one had ever been able to withstand her spear.
Before this, most beings would turn to dust upon touching the spear.
Yet Kara was completely unharmed.
Her reaction was faster than her husband's, but it was useless.
Before her body could even move, she saw Kara grab her by the neck.
"Bang!"
Then, Kara slammed her down hard.
Proxima Midnight immediately felt dizzy and disoriented.
At this moment, the attacks from the others came one after another.
Language control, telepathy, and Black Dwarf, who charged directly at her.
The first two had no effect on Kara.
She possessed a super brain, so these influences were nothing to her; she merely gave Ebony Maw and Supergiant a cold glance, dismissing them as useless.
Then, she didn't even dodge when Black Dwarf charged directly at her.
This brought a surge of joy to The Black Order.
Black Dwarf had no other abilities; he only possessed super strength and indestructible skin, which made him an invincible frontline fighter.
"Ha!"
Black Dwarf exerted all his might.
Then.
"Clang!"
His charge stopped.
Chapter 222 True Weakness
Supergirl Kara just tilted her head, not knowing what this stupid brute with skin like rock was yelling about.
"Perhaps you think you're very strong?"
Kara sneered.
But Black Dwarf didn't find the joke funny.
He felt like he could smash a Planet, yet he couldn't even budge this seemingly delicate girl in front of him?
Regardless, Kara appeared very fragile in his eyes.
However, sometimes feelings are just illusions.
Just like now, he sensed a delicate girl, yet she effortlessly withstood his impact.
And as Kara exerted more force, Black Dwarf was even lifted into the air.
His strength seemed insignificant compared to true power.
"I heard your skin is very tough."
Then, Kara, as if playing a game, her eyes turned red.
Powerful heat vision directly struck Black Dwarf's skin.
For the first time, Black Dwarf felt intense pain and let out a howl.
His supposedly indestructible skin initially showed no reaction to the impact.
But as Kara's adjustable temperature continuously climbed, it very quickly reached the temperature of the Sun's surface.
At this point, let alone Black Dwarf, even Supergiant and the others nearby felt the intense heat.
"Roar!"
As Black Dwarf roared, his skin, renowned as indestructible in the Universe, was directly melted and pierced through.
And the intense high temperature, the almost frenzied heat vision, still didn't stop.
It seemed as if it intended to kill Black Dwarf in one blow.
Although The Black Order's relationships weren't that good,
they wouldn't give Kara the chance to defeat them one by one at this moment.
So, a huge box was hurled towards Kara.
Corvus Glaive and the others, who had gotten back up, also rejoined the battle.
Kara faced five enemies at once, yet she appeared completely at ease.
This surprised Arthur , who glanced over.
Kara Zor-El was no longer the Kryptonian shame.
If it were that fair-skinned Supergirl, she would probably have lost at least one round by now.
She was beautiful, but she just took hits.
And Arthur faced Thanos even more easily.
It could be confirmed that without external objects like the Infinity Stones or the Cosmic Cube, Thanos's strength was definitely no match for Darkseid.
After all, Darkseid was a New God, the dark leader of Apokolips.
Thanos, on the other hand, was merely a notorious space pirate in the Universe.
His reputation was even worse than the Raiders.
But his strength was only that much.
So, this explained Thanos's pursuits; he was always seeking those treasures.
Because his own power wasn't strong enough.
Even in the Universe, he could only bully the weak.
When encountering the Nova Corps of Xandar, Thanos would disappear to who knows where.
But when it came to weak Planets, Thanos would not hesitate to wield his butcher knife.
Just like he did against Earth before.
Arthur held such people in contempt.
At this moment, Thanos's double-bladed sword slashed towards him, but Arthur stood motionless, blocking it with his shoulder.
Then he took a deep breath and exhaled a white mist.
"Super Breath!"
The gas he exhaled was enough to freeze everything.
It even possessed the power to extinguish Stars.
Thus, Thanos's double-bladed sword was instantly frozen by Arthur 's Super Breath, turning into an ice sculpture.
Then Arthur exerted a little force.
"Bang!"
Thanos's double-bladed sword instantly shattered into countless fragments.
"Titans, so weak."
Chapter 223 Thanos' blood is also red
Thanos's face almost turned White.
If his skin wasn't purple, it would have been extremely unsightly.
But even so, his changing expression was evident.
It was incredibly colorful.
However, having reached this point, he could only fight Arthur head-on.
"Bang!"
He was sent flying by a punch from Arthur , using the force to retreat.
Then he directly crashed through a hatch and disappeared inside.
Arthur naturally wouldn't just watch him escape and flew in after him.
"Buzz!"
Upon entering, countless lasers swept towards Arthur .
It turned out this was a weapon room specifically designed by Thanos.
It was filled with various dangerous and deadly items.
However, Arthur endured all of it with his bare body.
Thanos, seeing such a powerful physique, was instantly filled with despair.
Meanwhile, Arthur grabbed Thanos by the neck and punched the nearby wall.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a hole was punched into the sanctuary spaceship.
A powerful suction immediately pulled many nearby objects into the Universe.
Arthur then threw Thanos out.
Only in the Universe could Arthur unleash his full power without restraint.
After all, he already considered the sanctuary and everything on it his spoils of war.
If it were damaged during the fight with Thanos, Arthur would be very distressed.
Thanos didn't know this, but he knew he was extremely uncomfortable in the Universe.
He couldn't fly on his own and relied on external means.
Although he wasn't killed by the various rays in the Universe immediately, he was like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
However, he quickly ran out of time to ponder.
"Bang!"
Although sound cannot travel in the Universe, Arthur 's punch to his stomach seemed to transmit a sound like a shockwave.
His skin and flesh rippled at that moment.
Arthur no longer held back in the slightest.
Thanos was struck by this punch onto an asteroid.
Arthur then pursued him, continuously raining punches on Thanos.
Even an Eternal Titan couldn't withstand such an impact.
Although his skin was purple, Thanos's blood was still red.
Thanos was already spitting blood from Arthur 's beating.
"It's over."
Arthur mouthed to Thanos.
Thanos's strength might be considerable in the Universe, as most people are ordinary.
But in the face of someone with cheats, he seemed somewhat weak.
Especially since Thanos didn't even have the Infinity Stones yet.
"Relying solely on external power won't do," Arthur realized.
All great power originates from oneself.
Otherwise, one probably wouldn't even sleep peacefully, having to hug external equipment while sleeping.
Thanos's ambition thus departed with his Death.
In fact, cutting off Thanos's head was that simple.
However, Arthur wasn't that cruel.
Thanos didn't have the Time Stone now, so he couldn't show off.
He merely incinerated Thanos with his heat vision.
At this moment, The Black Order inside the sanctuary still didn't know that Thanos had died.
They were still fighting Kara, but it was gradually coming to an end.
Proxima Midnight and Supergiant had both collapsed weakly to the ground.
Seeing that they were female, Kara didn't kill them.
But it was different for Ebony Maw.
"You're so ugly."
Kara clearly had a bias against appearance.
She grabbed Ebony Maw by the neck, lifted him, and couldn't even bear to look him in the eye.
Heat vision shot directly from Kara's eyes, then entered Ebony Maw's brain, scorching his brain matter.
Chapter 224 You Are Death
Ebony Maw's Death momentarily stunned the others.
Corvus Glaive and Black Dwarf no longer dared to move.
Kara was surprised, "I've already killed you, why can you still revive?"
"Is there something that holds your soul?"
She had killed Corvus Glaive once.
But this guy was alive and kicking again.
This made Kara very curious: how could she kill him completely?
If she knew Corvus Glaive's name, she might get the answer.
But unfortunately, she didn't know it yet.
Corvus Glaive looked at Kara, stammering for a moment.
"Destroy his sword, and he'll die."
Arthur flew back and said.
"Where's Thanos?"
Gamora, who was desperately defending, immediately asked.
"Dead."
Hearing Arthur 's words, even the cannon fodder of the Dark Cult were stunned.
Arthur said, "His body has been burned to ashes by me."
For a moment, Gamora and Nebula didn't know what expression to make.
But it was obvious that they at least felt relieved.
Their revenge had been exacted, and now they suddenly didn't know what to do.
The reactions of the remaining members of The Black Order were varied.
When Proxima Midnight heard that Thanos was dead, she immediately acted as if her father had died, her eyes red, rushing over to her Death.
Kara naturally wouldn't let her go, her heat vision went straight through, killing Proxima Midnight.
Only then did the others realize that Kara had been playing all along.
It was like Ultraman fighting monsters, only unleashing her full power when the red light flashed.
But now, Kara stopped pretending.
She looked at Corvus Glaive, "Let's experiment again and see if you'll revive."
However, Corvus Glaive naturally didn't want to experiment.
He spun the glaive in his hand like a fan, trying to block Kara.
And he also begged, "I'm not with Thanos, I've wanted to kill him for a long time."
"Really?"
Kara asked.
Just as Corvus Glaive's face lit up, Kara immediately made her move, "I don't believe it."
She simultaneously snatched the glaive away.
After a slight sensation, Kara immediately discovered the soul residing within the glaive.
No wonder Corvus Glaive had such a fast recovery speed and could even revive.
As long as his soul wasn't extinguished, he would recover quickly.
And now, Kara directly destroyed his glaive.
"No!"
Corvus Glaive still wanted to struggle, but Kara sent him to meet Proxima Midnight.
Turning her head again, Arthur saw Supergiant and Black Dwarf kneeling on the ground, choosing to surrender.
So, Arthur walked over and hooked Supergiant's chin.
Supergiant seemed to be a Kree, with the same blue skin as the Kree.
This at most gave her an exotic charm, but couldn't be described as particularly beautiful.
Arthur said, "Don't you want to pursue Death?"
"Thanos didn't bring me Death."
Supergiant answered honestly.
"I can give you Death."
Arthur squeezed her neck.
However, Supergiant immediately said, "I have seen through the truth of life."
"So, you don't want to die anymore?"
"Yes."
"Just a pretentious bitch, that's all."
Arthur said disdainfully.
He had thought Supergiant truly had some ideal and wanted to pursue Death.
Supergiant lowered her head and said, "You are Death, I am willing to follow you."
"?"
Arthur said speechlessly, "Kill all these Dark Cult cannon fodder."
In response, Supergiant didn't say a word, using her various abilities to start slaughtering the Dark Cult's cannon fodder.
Black Dwarf also didn't hesitate; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Chapter 225 You Are Free
Arthur had no mercy for these cannon fodder of the Dark Cult.
They were never living beings; they were merely beasts created for a purpose.
Therefore, Arthur naturally wouldn't let them live to cause any more destruction in the Universe.
In an instant, the sanctuary was a river of blood.
Arthur even had to use his abilities to clean it up.
Supergiant and Black Dwarf enjoyed the killing immensely.
Black Dwarf was forced into it, but he had also committed sins.
Supergiant, on the other hand, was simply depraved.
But she had already knelt in submission, so Arthur didn't kill her, intending to keep her by his side to slowly 'adjust' her.
However, there was an overwhelming number of cannon fodder from the Dark Cult.
Even with them killing relentlessly, they couldn't finish them all in a short time.
Besides the cannon fodder, there were also prisoners captured by the Dark Cult.
But these prisoners were all in a miserable state.
Because Thanos typically carried out large-scale genocides.
Only lucky ones like Gamora and Nebula managed to survive.
After an unknown period of killing, the sanctuary was finally clean.
"Phew!"
Even Gamora and Nebula felt utterly exhausted.
They had killed too many.
Supergiant and Black Dwarf were even more incapacitated.
Arthur had them all come to the center.
They were very smart; none of them tried to escape.
"Jill, when did you get this?"
Arthur looked at Jill Valentine beside him.
Jill had put away her equipment at this moment, striking a very cool pose, and said, "Not long ago, while you were being flashy."
"I wasn't."
Arthur shrugged.
He absolutely couldn't admit it.
Jill didn't mind, she squeezed his shoulder: "What do we do next?"
"All of this is ours now."
Arthur smiled.
They had originally come to the Universe to find resources.
Now, they had directly acquired a large bounty.
It just needed to be inventoried.
But it was conceivable that the Dark Cult's accumulation over so many years would be substantial.
Even Thanos could build two star destroyer-class warships; how incredibly wealthy must that be?
The women all smiled.
The saying 'murder and arson make a golden belt' was indeed true.
Who would honestly accumulate wealth themselves anymore?
At this moment, the four, including Gamora, came before Arthur .
Arthur looked at Black Dwarf and said, "Black Dwarf, I can overlook what you've done in the past, but you can only live with your own people. If you do anything else that we find out about, we won't spare you again."
"Thank you, My Lord, for sparing my life."
Black Dwarf, who had just been killing as if he had lost his mind, immediately expressed his gratitude.
His wish was to return to his tribe, and now he could finally achieve it.
After all, what he had done for the Dark Cult in the past was enough for Arthur to kill him several times over.
Then, Arthur looked at Supergiant: "I hope you keep your word."
"Master, you are my Death."
Supergiant quickly pledged her loyalty.
Although she acted like a fawning dog, Jill and the others didn't feel threatened by her.
Because she had blue skin; although she looked somewhat attractive, Arthur definitely wouldn't like her.
Arthur indeed had no interest; at most, he could only not discriminate against such strange skin colors.
After all, in the Universe, there were too many strange skin colors.
Gamora and Nebula, for instance, were one blue and one green.
Of course, if it were a certain other color, Arthur wouldn't be able to stand it.
Because that color was too polluting to the environment.
It made people feel unable to accept it just by looking at it.
Arthur looked at Gamora and Nebula: "You are free."
"Thank you."
Gamora said, looking at Arthur .
She had an expression of feeling free, her face full of sincerity.
