There is no doubt that as a person who has an inexplicable obsession with winning and losing, Grandmaster does not like to follow the rules.
Once he finds out that the person winning is not him, he will always find ways to cheat.
Even though he made these rules himself.
But the problem is, this time he met someone he couldn't cheat on.
In particular, Allen had punched Jotunheim, the hometown of Frost Giants, a long time ago. Its powerful destructive power was simply not something ordinary people could bear.
So after much hesitation, Grandmaster finally took away his personal guards and almost one-third of his wealth, and took a spaceship to the depths of the universe to find another similar planet to make a comeback.
At this point, Planet Sakaar has completely become the possession of Allen.
At least in name.
As for whether the guards and fleets left by Grandmaster will obey orders at the critical moment, it is unknown.
But Allen obviously doesn't care about this.
Because as long as he is willing, he can use mind control, brainwashing, etc. to make these people loyal to him at any time.
But there is absolutely no need for this.
Allen didn't even have the intention to rule this planet, so he threw it directly to Loki, and then opened the portal to Xandar.
At this moment, this planet with highly developed civilization and technology has been plunged into war.
Countless biochemical monsters are wreaking havoc in the streets and alleys, and the number of battleships in the sky is so large that it blocks the sun.
Different from the previous attack of Kree Ronan the Accuser, this attack is obviously aimed at completely conquering Xandar. Both quantity and quality are far superior to the former.
Even Nova Corps was defeated one by one by Black Order.
Obviously, the owner of this huge army is none other than the Director of the Office of the Universal Family Planning Commission - Thanos.
And he has apparently raided the Dwarves country protected by Asgard, built Infinity Gauntlet, and embedded the Power Stone he just snatched into it.
Then just one punch!
The entire surface of Xandar experienced large-scale cracks, and the hot magma gushes from the depths of the earth flooded the city, turning civilization into uninhabited ruins.
However, this destruction did not affect everyone, but only killed almost one-half of the entire planet's population.
Yes!
At this time, Thanos still abides by the rules he set, which is the principle of killing half of the population of a planet every time he captures it.
Even if you are about to get all six Infinity Stones, there will be no exception.
When he saw Allen appearing above his head, Thanos immediately opened his mouth and smiled and greeted, "Ah! You are here, my dear friend. Look, I have got the first Infinity Stones, and I am one step closer to that great dream."
"Congratulations!"
Allen calmly spit out two words from his mouth.
He knew very well that with the activation of Infinity War, Thanos would inevitably set off one tragic war after another, and countless people would die as a result.
Especially those who died during the process of collecting Infinity Stones will not be resurrected by snapping their fingers.
But among these victims, the vast majority are aliens who have nothing to do with the earth.
So Allen doesn't care at all.
As for the battles for gems that broke out on the earth, they were basically concentrated in Black Panther's hometown, Wakanda, the country he hated the most.
"Thank you! I also want to congratulate you for killing Dormammu, the master of Dark Dimension. You must know that this is a feat that very few people can achieve."
Thanos was obviously in a good mood after receiving Power Stone, and even his tone was filled with naked and undisguised joy.
After all, it is his lifelong wish to permanently eliminate the entire population of the universe.
Now, this wish has finally reached the final step of being realized, how could you not be happy.
"Oh? How do you know it was me who killed Dormammu? Has this matter spread throughout the universe now?" Allen immediately became vigilant.
Because the speed of information dissemination is really abnormal.
Thanos shook his head meaningfully. "No! The news is not spread as widely as you think, but people who have reached a certain level of strength already know it. As for who is spreading the news, it is still a mystery for the time being. But what is certain is that there are not many people in the entire universe who dare to provoke you now."
"You mean... someone is testing me?" Allen narrowed his eyes and asked.
"The possibility is very high. Because we are not sure, we deliberately spread some rumors. In this way, no matter whether you come forward to explain or not, the other party can get a relatively accurate answer." Thanos touched his chin and analyzed.
Because if it is clarified, it means that there is someone else who killed Dormammu.
And if there is no clarification, it means that the guess is correct.
Such familiar methods and practices made Allen instantly think of Pluto Hisoka, who has been making small moves recently.
Obviously, the other party can't wait to get a definite answer.
Thinking of this, a playful expression suddenly appeared on his face, he narrowed his eyes and murmured, "It seems that some guys can't wait any longer..."
"Some guys?" Thanos caught the key words keenly.
"Yeah! A bit of a difficult opponent. But it doesn't matter, I will soon let him understand that sometimes there is a price to pay for being too curious, a very, very painful price."
When saying these words, Allen's eyes flashed with dangerous and sharp light.
In fact, since the death of Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, his plan to seize the source of Black and White Magic has been implemented.
The reason why I have delayed it until now is actually because I am waiting for Infinity War to end and get six Infinity Stones again as the final insurance.
After all, Allen knew too little about Sithorn, and it was not clear what kind of power this ancient Chthon had.
Especially as the source of Dark Magic, how far can he interfere with reality.
"Then it seems that I need to observe a minute of silence for this poor guy. Because even those high-ranking Celestials would not want to be your enemy."
Thanos was very rare and did not ask for any information about this mysterious enemy. Instead, he calmly sent a lot of compliments.
Because he felt that it would be a good thing for him to have a powerful and mysterious enemy to contain Allen.
At the last moment, Allen suddenly changed his mind and jumped out to prevent himself from realizing that great ideal.
Similarly, Allen did not want Thanos to know the existence of Pluto Hisoka, so he responded with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment. Although the wording is a bit disgusting, it does sound pleasant to the body and mind."
"Hahahaha! You are still so humorous. By the way, you suddenly came to Xandar, could it be just to congratulate me on getting the first Infinity Stones?" Thanos asked with a laugh.
"No! Of course not! You must already know the news of the death of Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One and Odin. So I came here to discuss with you how to get Space Stone - Tesseract from Asgardians, as well as Mind Stone and Time Stone preserved on the earth."
Allen didn't hide anything and stated his intention directly.
"Please tell me, I'm listening. As long as I can ensure I get these gems in the end, I don't actually care about the process." Thanos also showed unprecedented sincerity.
You must know that from the moment he got Power Stone, he believed that Allen would abide by the agreement reached by the two of them.
"It's very simple! I hope that when dealing with these two places, it is best to avoid damage as much as possible. Of course, in return, I will create a perfect attack opportunity for you to help you take away the gems." Allen simply stated the exchange conditions.
After all, with his intervention, Ragnarok performed by Asgard should not completely destroy all the palaces and cities.
Therefore, Asgardians will not be displaced. He will float around in the universe on a refugee ship. In the end, he will be intercepted by Thanos, and almost all of them will die.
Just the opposite!
Thanos must attack Asgard this time in order to force Loki to hand over Tesseract who was hidden by him.
What Allen wants to do is to minimize the losses caused by these possible large-scale wars.
After listening to these contents, Thanos seemed to think of something, and immediately pursed his lips and said, "This is not like your style. Did Odin make some deal with you before he died?"
"You guessed it right. Odin and I did reach some deals, but this agreement between you and me does not conflict. What I want to do is to preserve Asgard, not the Space Stone. What, what is your answer?" Allen raised his head and stared into the other party's profound eyes.
After a full minute, Thanos nodded slightly. "Okay!"
"Awesome! Then we've settled on it."
The words just fell!
Allen The whole person disappeared without a trace in an instant.
After the remaining energy in the air completely dissipated, Ebony Maw stood up and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you sure his words are trustworthy?"
"He has no need to deceive me, at least not so far." Thanos gave the answer without thinking.
Although he couldn't figure out why Allen had collected all six Infinity Stones, dispersed them to all corners of the universe, and then finally took them away from him through Duel Gundam.
But as long as the great ideal of wiping out half of all life in the universe can be realized, this small problem is nothing.
What's more, this time he was the first to get Infinity Gauntlet, and he could control the gems as he pleased.
There will no longer be the embarrassing situation of not being able to use the full power of the gem like last time.
"Then our next plan is..."
"Stay still for the time being and wait for news from him. Our next target is Space Stone. Otherwise, it is too slow to cross half of the universe with a spaceship alone. We must use the fastest way to get all the remaining five Infinity Stoness. And Space Stone is exactly what we need to achieve this goal."
Obviously, Thanos is aware of the possible risks of collecting Infinity Stones.
It's like Odin has been emphasizing that it is best not to get too close to two Infinity Stones.
Maybe it's okay to have one Infinity Stones, but two or more will attract all kinds of prying eyes and attention.
Therefore, the collection process must be fast, steady, and accurate, and get them all before everyone has time to react.
After receiving the order, Black Order quickly led the army away from the dilapidated Xandar and returned to his hometown.
The people living on this planet looked at all this in stunned silence, and then they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
They are completely unable to understand what Thanos did.
Because he neither plundered any wealth nor took away any important strategic resources, nor did he attempt to occupy and rule.
They just carried out military conquest in an extremely crude way, and then carried out indiscriminate killing, wiping out more than half of the population on the planet.
No wonder many people feel extremely frightened when they hear the name of crazy Titans Thanos.
In the eyes of normal people, this guy's behavior is an out-and-out lunatic, and the space pirates are even more brutal.
At least the latter is just for money, but the former is really fatal.
And there is no loophole to exploit in this kind of massacre, it is completely 100% random selection.
Whether they are old people or young children, whether they are the wealthy ruling class or the beggars living on the streets, everyone is treated equally.
There is no doubt that Thanos has achieved true fairness in the matter of eradicating the population.
Although this fairness is based on brutal genocide.
At the same time, as Thanos personally led the army to capture Xandar, which even Kree Empire had not been able to conquer before, and the news of another massacre spread quickly, causing the rulers and residents of many planets to fall into boundless panic.
Among them, those with relatively weak military strength have begun to extend olive branches to the new three Rider countries, expressing their willingness to give up their autonomy, join Empire, and accept the protection of each other.
Only in this way can we barely bring a sense of security.
Among them, New Empire, founded by Sakura, has relatively more autonomy due to its adoption of a governor-plus-self-control management model for its subordinate planets, so it has received the most applications to join.
After careful screening, officials in charge of internal affairs agreed to incorporate some of the planets into the Empire.
In their opinion, their Queen had already played against Thanos, so there was no need for them to worry.
But they didn't know that what Thanos wanted to do this time was no longer to capture planet after planet, but to fulfill his lifelong wish by snapping his fingers.
In contrast, governments around the world are still experiencing internal strife.
Hydra is busy infiltrating, assassinating, kidnapping and controlling the capital monopoly groups including United States and Europe. When those capital groups realized that someone was targeting them, they quickly united and tried to use the state machinery to fight, without realizing that a huge crisis was about to come.
