Compared to the coldness of the blue-skinned girl, the green-skinned girl opposite was much calmer, holding only a short blade and looking at her silently.
"Gamora, Nebula, the same rules apply, let's begin." Thanos said slowly.
"Yes, father." Xingyun said.
Gamora, on the other hand, is always calm, silent, and even looks a little graceful. Thanos is obviously more appreciative of her attitude, although Nebula is more respectful to him as his adoptive father.
"Ah!" Nebula roared angrily and charged forward with his sword.
"Qiang!" The weapons of the two people touched each other, making a fierce collision sound, and sparks flew everywhere.
Nebula gritted her teeth, and although Gamora also showed an expression of difficulty, she still maintained a bit of reserve.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
They fought fiercely in the duel venue, flashing and moving, and the two daggers finally received their first drop of blood after dozens of collisions and blocks.
Nebula, eager to win, slashed Gamora's shoulder with her sword, and blood spilled out!
But before she could smile, she was caught by Gamora because of the flaw exposed by this attack.
The dagger in Gamora's hand went straight to her sister's chest, but she obviously had reservations, and in the end only the tip of the sword penetrated.
Xingyun groaned and hurriedly retreated diagonally, covering his bleeding chest while dodging the next attack.
The two adopted daughters fought with real swords and guns, and Thanos watched with great interest. It seemed that in his eyes, such an activity was as harmonious and beautiful as a family dinner.
The battle between the two sisters reached a fever pitch, and Nebula was like an angry beast. Every time he struck out with his sword, he was accompanied by a roar of attack, hysterical.
However, this kind of anger did not increase her strength. Instead, it weakened her skills and gradually lost her fighting rhythm.
Gamora, who already had an advantage, became more stable as the battle progressed, firmly gaining the upper hand.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if she hadn't been merciful, Xingyun would have been defeated long ago.
Thanos could naturally see it, but he still allowed the battle to progress, watching Nebula become more and more embarrassed during the battle, the anger on his face gradually mixed with pain and despair.
With a "choking" sound, Gamora knocked Nebula's weapon away.
"Give up, Nebula, you are no match for me." Gamora said, while placing the sword on Nebula's neck.
Nebula breathed heavily and murmured: "Why... why..."
Thanos stood up from his seat: "You lose, Nebula."
Nebula suddenly looked horrified and said hurriedly: "No, father, I just made a mistake. I can fight again!"
"Giving up excuses is the beginning of victory. My daughter, come with me and accept your punishment." Thanos remained unmoved.
"Please, father!" Nebula knelt on the ground, tears overflowing from her eyes.
Gamora also said: "Father, she is still a child."
Thanos said slowly: "The real rules in this world will not change because of your identity... Moreover, strictly speaking, what Nebula accepts is not punishment, but transformation, which will make her stronger, and all she has to pay is
A little bit of pain."
Gamora didn't know what to say for a moment.
Thanos then pulled Nebula away, and soon brought him to a room similar to an operating room, where his most trusted subordinate Ebony Maw was already waiting.
"Master." Ebony Throat leaned over and said.
Nebula looked at Thanos pleadingly again: "Father..."
Thanos was unmoved at all: "Ebony Maw, replace Nebula with a mechanical arm."
"Yes." Ebony Throat responded, and then he and Thanos fixed Nebula on the floating operating bed and allowed her to cry and struggle.
The operation was carried out very quickly, after a while.
Nebula lay weakly. She raised her left hand and found that it was no longer flesh and blood, but a mechanical arm composed of metal, circuits and chips.
Although this mechanical arm is stronger and more agile than flesh and blood, she cannot feel the temperature.
Her original arm was lying quietly in a transparent box nearby. Due to the meticulous preservation measures, this arm still maintained its vitality. Her fingers moved as if she wanted to grab something.
Thanos said calmly: "This arm will be preserved and active. When you defeat Gamora, you will be able to choose to reattach it. But I think you will lose this will soon."
, for most races, flesh and blood is actually far less reliable than machinery."
Ebony Maw stored the box containing Nebula's arm and then removed her restraints.
Xingyun left the operating bed without saying a word, silently looking at her arm which was placed not far away.
Thanos looked at her and said: "If you still fail next time, the more core parts will be transformed, such as the heart and brain... If you don't like this, just make yourself stronger."
Xingyun lowered his head: "Yes, father..."
…
"This is probably what happened. Carol's memory was tampered with by the Kree. I tried to wake it up but couldn't. As her best friend, you should be able to achieve this." Rowe looked at Maria Rambo.
, said slowly.
Maria was silent for a few seconds: "With all due respect, this sounds a bit...ridiculous."
Nick Fury said while eating bread: "But I have no doubt. I have seen too many more ridiculous things today. Can you imagine that a cute kitten is actually a monster ten times more terrifying than Hannibal?"
Well, and the person in front of you...oh no, this god."
"What?" Maria Rambo frowned.
Nick Fury continued: "He is actually a god. Can you believe it? If you haven't seen half of your car being taken from New York to California in an instant, you will never believe it."
Rowe looked at Maria: "If this is true, are you willing to help Carol?"
"Of course, if this is true." Maria nodded.
"Follow me." Luo Wei stood up and said.
Maria hesitated a little and looked at her daughter Rambo.
Little Rambo said without hesitation: "Mom, let's go save Aunt Carol!"
Nick Fury said: "It's us, former Air Force pilots, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and a god. It doesn't include you, little guy. Let's wait until you grow up."
Rowe: "Maria, you should be back soon, and the child can be left in the care of Fury temporarily."
Little Rambo immediately looked at Nick Fury: "Not including you."
"..."
"Okay." Maria finally nodded in agreement and stood up, "Anyway, Carol is my closest comrade-in-arms, and I hope she is still alive and can help her regain her memory."
