"Lord Thanos," Gray Wind teleported back to the flagship of the Dark Order through the bonfire, and saw Thanos sitting cross-legged next to the bonfire, playing with a gem that shimmered with green light in his hand, looking as if he had something to say.
He was thinking, "Did you die just now? Is that the 'Time Stone'?"
"Ah, yes," Thanos slowly stood up from the campfire, "I have been thinking about how to avoid killing those "heroes" if I have to fight them. Now it seems that the answer should be
'Let yourself be killed', after all, facing an enemy that cannot be killed, they are likely to do stupid things such as burning their lives or self-destructing."
"Were you an immortal existence before you became the 'fireless ashes'?" Gray Wind asked curiously.
"You can say that," Thanos nodded: "You should have seen the 'past image' I showed Dr. Qiyi. The green-skinned leader was not 'my ancestor' but 'me'."
"Wow..." Gray Feng didn't know how to comment, and let out a sigh of unknown meaning.
"However, although it is 'I', 'I' is not it," Thanos continued: "If 'I' could 'awaken' earlier, there wouldn't be so many troubles now."
"Hmm..." Gray Wind nodded: "So, is the reason why you collected the 'Infinity Stones' true? To eliminate machinery and change the world to the magic side?"
"Oh, how is that possible?" Thanos sneered: "Things like this that try to destroy all life, even if it is not a 'mechanical reaper', there will be a 'biological reaper' or a 'psychic reaper', to name one.
An example you are very familiar with - 'human pus'."
"Ah... Indeed," Hui Feng thought for a moment, then nodded: "Then the purpose of your fake match with them is to promote this concept that misleads them?"
"That's one," Thanos replied: "The other is to get the 'Time Stone'."
"Can't that 'Doctor Qiyi' use this to predict the future? How did you get it?" Hui Feng stared at the bright emerald.
"Because I have a deal with the 'Supreme Master'," Thanos flipped the emerald twice: "She will hand over the fully functional [Time Stone] to 'Doctor Qiyi' in the name of 'fake', I
The gem must be taken without harming him."
"Hmm... that is to say, the 'Supreme Mage' who maintains the dimension has seen the future where his disciples were taken away from the 'Time Stone' without being harmed? What did 'Doctor Qiyi' see?
What?" Gray Feng asked again.
"If nothing else, what he saw was a future where 'he will defeat me with difficulty and the fake time stones disappear'," Thanos said: "Because 'the fake time stones disappear', he can't see the future beyond that."
', This is very reasonable, it is impossible for him to know that what he lost is a genuine time stone."
"Hmm... But he wasn't the one who defeated you. What were the chains and tentacles that burst out after the 'Iron Man' armor was broken? And, you said he has no mind and soul... the same as Eldridge?
"
"If we talk about the physical structure, it is indeed similar. After all, he is a chain himself. Moreover, he seems to have seen a certain future, but it is not by borrowing the power of the time stone. Maybe I have to find a chance to talk to him - use
Another identity." Thanos rubbed his chin in thought.
"Then what should we do now? Collect the last gems?" Gray Wind looked at Thanos' almost filled gloves.
"Now...we need to confirm the attitude of some 'heroes' towards the 'Civil War'," Thanos clicked the time gem into his gloves, turned around and walked towards the temple behind him: "Follow me."
————
From the appearance point of view, Sanctuary No. 1 itself can be said to be a temple, and the "temple within the temple" is naturally the more important core area.
In this "core temple", not only are there obvious defense measures, but the equipment of the crew members who come and go is also much higher-end. In the central hall, there is a stone structure like some kind of altar.
There is a red crystal that is constantly buzzing. On top of the crystal, there seems to be blurry human faces appearing and disappearing.
"This is the 'Altar of Heroes'. My warriors who can be called 'heroes' will be resurrected here after they die, but it will take a while. I can now use the [Time Gem] to erase this period of time, but let's see first
See what happened, after all, they may beautify the process of being killed in some way," Thanos raised his gloves towards the crystal: "'Recreate history'."
As the green light on the gloves flashed, a tall, black-armored warrior with pale skin and a head that looked like a nut was projected in front of the huge red crystal.
"["I am the 'Dead Blade General of the Dark Order', the 'High Lord of Tal'darin', the 'First Ascended One', and the 'Strongest Blade' Alarak]." He raised his hand.
The red light blade pointed at the empty space ahead.
"He made a fatal statement." Gray Wind said.
"Hmm..." Thanos was noncommittal, shook his fist, and continued to "play" the projection screen: "It seems that the [Time Stone] has limited abilities, and can only see his own actions."
Drink! Bang! Boom!
Next, the shadow of General Deathblade made various contemptuous remarks to his enemies while waving the light blade to attack the air.
He seemed to have chopped something into pieces, been restrained and then broken apart. He maintained a complacent and arrogant appearance, and then suddenly became embarrassed after a certain point. He was still launching attacks, but there were constant signs of as if appearing on his armor.
The numerous wounds like scratches gradually went from being easy to deal with to being dwarfed, and even the light blade on one side was damaged. Finally, after most of the armor was shattered, a fatal wound appeared that completely penetrated his body.
Falling down suddenly, the projection also ended.
"Died by underestimating the enemy," Thanos shook his head: "He toyed with the enemy when he was overwhelmed by his strength in the early stage, but was killed by the reinforcements called by the opponent to delay his time. They just happened to restrain him."
"Hmm... is that a wolf or a dog?" Gray Feng said: "Even King Xin will be killed if he faces five dogs at the same time."
"But there is no sign of the 'hero' taking action." Thanos nodded, and a burst of green light appeared on his gloves.
The next moment, a certain human face that was originally tumbling in the red crystal suddenly became clear, then highlighted, and finally turned into a living dead blade general and appeared in front of Thanos.
"It's not my fault, Lord Thanos," General Deathblade blinked, and after seeing the current situation clearly, he immediately said: "Those guys are obviously powerful but sinister and despicable. I called them all before I even finished speaking.
