Chapter 245: Beating and Planning

‘Boom! ’

Just after Ebony Maw left, a dazzling blue ball of light came and narrowly passed by its original position, then attacked the interior of the spacecraft. In an instant.

A huge flame rose from the ground, and a big hole was blown out of the interior of the entire spacecraft.

“You pissed me off, man from the Divine Realm!!”

At this time, Ebony Maw, who originally wanted to fight with Loki, saw that the other party had destroyed a corner of his respected father’s spacecraft in front of him, and his face instantly turned cold, and then he spoke.

“Ha!! Squid, everyone can talk big, but it’s better to show your strength!!”

Looking at the other party’s angry look, Loki, who thought he was frightened by the power of his new artifact, snorted coldly, and then another energy cannon swept towards Ebony Maw.

This time, looking at the energy bombs flying towards him, Ebony Maw just had a cold face and did not dodge. He only saw him wave his hand, and then countless iron pieces under his feet flew towards him, forming a steel wall in just a moment.

And Loki's attack hit it, and it only blew a big hole.

Then with the end of Loki's attack, Ebony Maw raised his hands and slowly squeezed them down.

Those metal walls that were originally formed in front of him were immediately torn apart by a powerful force, and then split into hundreds of steel needles like spikes.

‘Swish, swish, swish! ! ’

Then Ebony Maw pushed his hands into the air, and these steel needles rushed towards Loki at a very fast speed.

Seeing the fierce attack in front of him, Loki was frightened and his face turned cold. He turned into countless phantoms and prepared to run around.

However, looking at these phantoms, Ebony Maw only focused his eyes, and hundreds of steel needles immediately dispersed and attacked Loki's clones.

'Swish, swish, swish! ! '

When all these steel needles passed through Loki's clones, all the clones were frozen in place, and then disappeared in this space.

And Loki's figure suddenly appeared in a place not far away where there was no one.

But at this time, the whole person could be said to be strung like a hedgehog.

The original green wizard robe was now half stained red by blood.

"Cough! Cough cough!!"

At this moment, Loki, who reappeared, looked at Ebony Maw not far away with a shocked face, as if he didn't know why the other party could guess his position.

Originally, he was worried that Ebony Maw would attack all of his clones at once, so when he cloned, he deliberately hid his body. Unexpectedly, he hid so well that at the critical moment, dozens of steel needles still stabbed at him, which could be said to have closed all his escape routes.

At that moment, if he hadn't dodged in time, he estimated that he would have died here.

"A little clever, but not much. The same method might work if you were facing those third-rate characters, but the one standing in front of you is Ebony Maw, one of the five obsidian generals under the seat of the universe overlord Thanos."

"I saw through your little tricks from the beginning, and I deliberately didn't find out, just waiting to give you a fatal blow at the critical moment when you thought you could avoid my attack, but didn't know you were surrounded by it."

"You should be grateful that the universe overlord kept you to get the infinite gems, otherwise you would not be facing dozens of steel needles."

Looking at the shock and doubt in Loki's eyes, Ebony Maw also crossed his hands, walked to the other party in an elegant manner, and then slowly spoke.

"Okay, take him down for treatment. Although he is a person from the God Realm, this kind of injury still needs to be recovered, otherwise it will affect Thanos' plan."

After Ebony Maw finished speaking, General Corvus Glaive, the leader of the five obsidian generals, also stood up and said in a deep voice.

After all, Loki is now working for Thanos. If he is really injured because of Ebony Maw, which delays the time to seize the gems, then they are Thanos's adopted sons and will still be punished.

"Wait."

"Black Dwarf, since he wants an army, then you can give him one of your troops."

"I remember there is an army of Chitauri who just surrendered, right?!"

"Give it to him!"

But just when his subordinates were about to take Loki away, Thanos was sitting on the throne and spoke immediately.

"This..."

"Yes, Father!"

After hearing Thanos' order, even Dark Star, who wanted to say something, only paused, then bowed his head respectfully and responded.

After all, when there were no outsiders inside, he could naturally raise his own questions, and even Thanos would not think there was anything wrong, but if it was in front of outsiders, especially when Thanos gave a clear order.

If they, as subordinates, raise their own questions, it means that either you think you are smarter than the high and mighty cosmic overlord, or you want to take the throne yourself and challenge Thanos' authority.

They dare not even think about these two choices, so even if they don't understand, they have no choice but to obey.

Then, after finishing speaking, Black Dwarf took Loki beside him and walked out.

And with Loki leaving, for some reason, in the eyes of everyone, they could clearly see that Thanos was much more relaxed and happy.

"Father, what are you..."

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the venue, Ebony Throat looked at Thanos' relaxed expression, walked forward in small steps, and then asked softly.

"You want to say why I gave him weapons and an army, and then asked you to teach him a lesson before that, right?!"

"This second prince of Asgard is a fierce horse, which is wild and difficult to tame. This must be what gives Odin a headache. If he cannot see clearly the gap in status between the two, he will not be honest. cooperate with us.”

"But precisely because he is a fierce horse and will not be easily controlled by others, such a person is actually a sharp blade. As long as he is used well, he can become the sharpest blade in our hands."

After hearing Ebony Throat's words, Thanos relaxed his body with a relaxed expression. After adjusting his sitting posture, he opened his mouth to explain to his adopted sons.

"But, Father, you also said that he is a fierce horse. Could it be that..."

After hearing Thanos' words, Proxima Centauri stood up and said with a sad face.

After all, if he really said what his adoptive father said, even the King of Gods Odin would have a headache. How could they possibly conquer such a fierce horse after getting along for a short period of time.

"Psychic Scepter?!"

However, after asking Proxima Centauri's words and looking at Thanos sitting on the throne, at this moment, the superstar beside him also immediately thought of what happened when Thanos handed Loki the Mind Scepter in the first place. There was a fleeting change in Loki's eyes, and then he subconsciously asked.

"Of course, people will always be confused by superficial things and never forget to explore the deepest essence of things. The real power. The Mind Stone is more than just allowing the user to control people. As long as you have it, Enough to know.”

"Then whether it is in the hands of the user or not, it can allow a person to be dominated by the deepest desires in his heart."

"And I just gave him a little motivation."

After hearing the words of the superstar, Thanos also looked at the opponent with admiration. He was indeed one of the few mentally strong men under his command, with meticulous observation and keen insight. Then he nodded to the opponent, and Thanos Ba also continued to speak.

For Thanos, young people like Loki are extremely difficult to deal with.

Not to mention he has a spiritual scepter in his hand, even if he doesn't, he can still deceive the other party dozens of times.

"But, Father, didn't you say that we shouldn't come into contact with the Infinity Stones too early at this stage?"

"If Loki really gets the Infinity Stones and gives them to us, won't we become passive?!"

"Not to mention that the entire Chitauri clan defected to us. It can be said that the entire universe knows it. If Loki leads the Chitauri to take action, by then the entire universe will probably know that it was our people who did it. ”

At this time, although Ebony Maw had figured out Thanos' motives and methods for controlling Loki, he still had deeper doubts about the purpose of the operation itself, and then he spoke.

After all, to be honest, he still didn't understand why what his adoptive father said and what he did were in two completely different directions.

"If you really get it, then get it."

"I'm just saying that if we start collecting the infinite gems now, then our subsequent actions will be difficult. But if the infinite gems are delivered to our hands, then this means that destiny is mine and I have nothing to fear."

"What's more, you don't think Loki can really get those two Infinity Stones, do you?"

After hearing Ebony Throat's words, Thanos also used his own eyes to look out of the atmosphere through the glass on the spaceship in front of him with a solemn expression, and then said lightly.

To be honest, even he is extremely afraid of the earth now, let alone a little Asgardian prince.

"????"

"Father, do you mean that there are stronger people stationed on earth?!"

At this moment, after hearing Thanos' words, Ebony Throat and the five Obsidian generals on the side all looked at Thanos in shock, and then General Deathblade, who was headed by him, asked in surprise.

After all, they really thought that they did not go to Earth to collect the Infinity Stones at first because their adoptive father was worried that the major forces in the universe would learn of their plan to collect six Infinity Stones in advance and then hide them.

As a result...now they suddenly discovered that it was because there was someone stronger? !

What about a strong man who can make even Thanos, the lord of the universe, fear him? Odin level?

But how is that possible? As we all know, the earth is the most remote planet in the entire universe. It can be said that even the galaxy is a place where birds don't shit. People like them don't even bother to look at that place.

Poor and backward, to put it mildly, if you really go to that place, it will be exactly like a human show. What is it called desert island survival? !

It's nothing more than corresponding to them and turning into a deserted galaxy to survive.

"Yes, the water on Earth is much deeper than you think."

"Otherwise, don't you really think that the Protoss would be willing to give up the territory that they once ruled on Earth? And they have never asked about it for hundreds or thousands of years?"

"It's just that the old guy Odin has always been very hidden and never revealed anything, so I need a pathfinder to let us know in advance how deep the water on Earth is."

After hearing the words of General Corvus Glaive, Thanos also spoke immediately.

As someone who once had the opportunity to understand the most real scene of this universe, he can be said to have mastered a lot of unknown knowledge in his hands, and the Earth happens to be among them.

"But, doesn't this mean that our investment is doomed to fail?"

"Father, that was the Mind Stone we finally got. You have always aimed to collect six Infinity Stones. Are you going to give it away just like that?"

After listening to Thanos' explanation, the five Black Orders present understood it completely. It turned out that this was not Loki going to conquer the earth, but a death squad sent out to test the enemy's firepower. However, after coming to his senses, Ebony Maw, who had briefly possessed the Mind Scepter before, was not feeling well. Looking at Thanos in front of him, he spoke with an unbelievable look.

After all, that was the Infinity Stone. According to their father, it could be said to be the most powerful artifact in the universe.

As long as you collect six, you can even dominate the entire universe. In the end, you just gave it away like that?

What about the dream you promised before?

"Haha, without a heavy enough stone, how can we test the depth of the water?"

"Just wait and see, the Earth is only a matter of time for us. Even if the Mind Stone is really dropped on the Earth by Loki, as long as Loki finds out the specific strength of the Earth, then when the time is right, everything will eventually be ours."

"As long as the Infinity Stones are not gathered in six, there is not much difference between having it or not."

About Ebony Maw's emphasis on the Mind Stone, Thanos did not say much, but just spoke lightly. (End of this chapter)
