After Thanos returned with Ebony Maw and Gamora, Ebony Maw wisely found a reason to leave, leaving a quiet space for the father and daughter.
Gamora glanced at Thanos' chair high up, and then looked around with an ugly expression.
Thanos said beside her: "Aren't you happy to go home?"
Gamora didn't hide it: "I'm not happy at all. I hate it here, I hate this damn spaceship, and I hate your high chair!"
Thanos was not angry. He looked at the huge chair and said, "I have always wanted to see you sit on it with my own eyes."
His tone was very sincere, without any pretense.
"I won't." Gamora said sarcastically to Thanos.
Thanos looked at her: "I didn't know before, but now I know, but it may be different in the future. You are my daughter, and I know you have that potential."
"I'm not!" Gamora shouted, turning around and distanced herself from Thanos: "When I was so young, you took me away from my parents. I remember it very clearly!"
Thanos walked to the steps and sat down slowly.
"I saved your hometown." He responded calmly.
"You killed half the people!"
"That was a necessary means, and you should understand what happened next. When you were a child, you lived on that planet without enough food and clothing every day, and you even had to pick up garbage to make ends meet. But after I left, that planet
Newly born children on the planet don’t have to worry about going hungry, they can grow up happily in an environment of blue sky and clear water without any worries.”
"But they will not forget the half of the dead lives, which are their parents, children, friends and relatives!"
"Resources will be depleted, and if left unchecked, your planet will soon be destroyed."
"That's your idea. You impose everything you have on others."
"I'm saving..."
"You have no right to restrain anyone in this way! The fact is that you have been killing people!"
Thanos closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.
Gamora didn't listen to any of his words.
He stood up slowly: "Perhaps, I am the only one who understands this truth, and the only one who is willing to take action. I watched you grow up, and everything about you was trained by me. In the past, I believed that you would
You have become a famous female warrior in the universe, so I also believe that you have found the soul gem."
Gamora's face remained unchanged, and she shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, I disappointed you, I didn't find it."
Thanos smiled silently.
"I am indeed disappointed, but not because you didn't find it, but because you obviously found it but were unwilling to tell me."
As he spoke, there was a rumble behind Gamora, and a door opened.
Gamora turned around and saw Nebula hanging in the air, the machine and flesh and blood body separated, it was so terrifying.
Gamora immediately ran towards Nebula, with Thanos following behind.
…
Vormir.
It is in a dark star field, and because the satellites overhead are always at an angle blocking distant stars, there is only a pale golden halo in the sky.
Thick layers of ice are condensed on the surface of the planet, and the biting cold wind never stops.
Hong Fei appeared on the mountainside.
There are no ripples in space.
But the guy in the black robe still came.
Red Skull, John Schmidt.
The former sworn enemy of Captain America, after grabbing the Cosmic Cube with his bare hands, he was cursed and thrown on the planet Vormir to guide all those who want to obtain the Soul Stone.
Seeing Hong Fei, he said, "Hong Fei, son of Hong Shan, welcome you."
The curse on the Red Skull is knowing everyone who came here.
Hong Shan is indeed the father of Hong Fei in his current body.
"How did you find me?" Hong Fei asked.
"Soul. I didn't find out how it came about, but I felt that there was suddenly a soul on this planet."
Hong Fei nodded and then said: "Red Skull, John Schmidt, everyone thought you were dead."
Hearing this, Red Skull's black robe suddenly shook, fluttering violently and making it whirring.
"Are you from Earth?!"
Hong Fei spread his hands: "Isn't it similar?"
"No, appearance is not important, but it is hard for me to imagine that people on earth can come to this place. Has the earth already developed a spaceship?"
"Absolutely, but I came here on my own."
"Um?"
Hong Fei flashed and came a few centimeters in front of the Red Skull: "Just like this."
The Red Skull immediately flew back, the surprise in his eyes becoming more intense.
After a while, he sighed: "I should have known a long time ago that the universe is inherently magical. If I can study the Rubik's Cube and even become what it is today, then it is not surprising that even weirder things will happen on the earth.
"
Hong Fei was curious: "I know you disappeared because of the Cosmic Cube, but why do you appear here?"
"It's a curse."
"Of course I know about the curse, but there is a space gem inside the Cosmic Cube. How did you come to the soul gem?"
Red Skull was even more convinced that Hong Fei's identity was extraordinary. He said: "Because every Infinity Stone has a very close connection, but I don't know the specific reason. If you are after the Soul Stone, then follow me."
bring it on!"
Immediately, the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain one after another and stood in front of the straight cliff.
"Among all the Infinity Stones, the Soul Stone also has a highly respected and special status. It has very unique wisdom, so if you want to get it, you need to pay a high price, and I don't think you can do it today."
Hong Fei asked knowingly: "Oh? Then tell me, what price does it cost?"
"In order to ensure that the owner truly understands and makes good use of its ability, the soul gem requires your sacrifice, and the object of the sacrifice... must be the person you truly love."
Hong Fei narrowed his eyes suddenly.
Seeing this, the Red Skull said gloatingly: "You are here alone today, so I don't think you can get it."
Hearing this, Hong Fei turned around and stared at Red Skull.
The Red Skull is not afraid.
After a while, Hong Fei said with a smile: "If I hypnotize myself and make an insignificant person become my true love, can I get the infinite gems by sacrificing him?"
Red Skull shook his head without thinking: "Of course not. Hypnosis may be able to fool yourself, but it cannot fool the wise soul gem."
"I do not believe."
Perhaps Hong Fei answered too quickly, and Red Skull was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Hong Fei's eyes again, he couldn't help but take a step back.
"What do you want to do? Let me remind you that I am already dead, and your methods are not untried by anyone, but they all failed without exception."
Hong Fei still shook his head: "I always believe that I am different. Even if the result is the same, I won't know until I do it."
"You are like a madman. If you want to try, just try, I won't accompany you." As he said this, the Red Skull's figure gradually became dull.
However, before he was about to disappear, golden-red light flashed violently in the dark space, and a dragon claw suddenly wrapped around the Red Skull's body, forcing him out of the fading state.
The dragon-capturing hand came to the front with the red skull in hand.
Hong Fei even saw shock and surprise in his eyes.
"Since you have already died once, you shouldn't mind trying it again; since you are sure you can't succeed, then cooperate with me to verify it again."
Having said that, before Red Skull could speak, the ultimate effect shot out from Hong Fei's eyes and landed on Red Skull's body. The entropic force transformed and non-living matter turned into life.
Visible to the naked eye, the Red Skull's red skin is changing to white, and the skull-like face is gradually fleshing out, as if flesh and blood are rapidly being reborn.
Not long after.
A real-life Johann Schmidt appears.
"Am I alive?" He looked at his hands in disbelief, and touched his cheek frantically, tears gathering in his eyes, "The curse is still there, but I really survived!"
Hong Fei shook his head.
He grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him towards the edge of the cliff.
"No, please don't do this. What I say is true. You can't deceive the soul gem. Its wisdom is unmatched!"
"Please, it took a lot of effort for me to become like this, don't kill me again..."
No matter how he begged or cursed, even if his tongue burst into tears, Hong Fei would not waver at all.
He closed his eyes slightly, changed part of his thinking and cognition, and shaped the Red Skull into the half-brother he valued most in his life.
When he opened his eyes again, the way he looked at the Red Skull suddenly changed drastically.
It was a look that contained almost extreme affection.
Seeing this, Red Skull was stunned.
But soon he found hope, his eyes suddenly turned red and filled with tears.
"Don't kill me, okay? I want to live..."
There is no error in his logic.
Because since Hong Fei hypnotized himself to regard the Red Skull as a brother, it would be difficult to sacrifice him with his own hands.
Hong Fei's eyes turned red when he heard what he said.
He knelt down and held Red Skull's hands.
Their eyes met, and they were speechless for a moment.
For a moment, Hong Fei choked up but said firmly: "John, we are brothers!"
"Yes, of course, I regard you as my biological brother."
"I believe!"
"Then...can you let me go?"
Hong Fei pulled him up.
"I believe you will forgive me."
"Huh? What..."
Before Red Skull finished speaking, Hong Fei threw him down.
[Absolute sanity] This skill has advantages and disadvantages, and it is very comfortable to use at the moment.
Absolute reason told Hong Fei that a half-brother was definitely not as important as a soul gem that could change the future destiny of the universe.
Red Skull was only half right.
He screamed and fell, then stopped suddenly.
Hong Fei looked down and saw blood flowing in all directions.
But other than that, nothing unusual happened.
After waiting for a while, the hypnotic time was over, and Hong Fei sighed.
Sure enough it doesn't work.
Under the cliff, the dead Red Skull suddenly got up and flew up with a very ugly face and extremely vicious eyes.
Hong Fei: "Although I can't get the gem, I can still resurrect you and then throw you down to death again and again."
The Red Skull licked his chapped lips and floated aside silently.
At this time, Hong Fei sensed strong spatial fluctuations and turned back to look into the distance.
