Into a Nest of Purple Sweet Potatoes

Morag!

The spaceship flew past three natural satellites and entered this ruined planet where civilization had been destroyed. It was desolate and barren, with ruins everywhere. The terrible ecological environment was not suitable for survival, which made any interstellar civilization that wanted to colonize this place hesitate.

According to unreliable sources, Morag transformed from a super-civilization into a prehistoric ruin, with intelligent life on the planet's surface dying overnight, all related to the misuse of the Power Stone.

On his way to Morag, Russell wondered if he would encounter a 12-year-old Reincarnator. If he was lucky, he might be able to trigger two lottery draws and also enjoy some Silly Bird names.

But on second thought, the possibility is basically zero.

With Supergirl and the other two women gone, the main god indicates that the mission is over. If the 12-year-old Reincarnator is still alive and later finds the Infinity Stones to help Thanos turn the tide, wouldn't the main god be contradicting himself?

Therefore, those Reincarnator chose the Avengers faction in the 12-year timeline returned to the Main God Space without any effort, while those who chose the Black Order were eliminated by the God Realm after their mission was deemed a failure.

A bunch of trash, they don't even know how they died, yet they want to come to Morag and eat shit. Dream on!

Russell was pleased with himself, but upon deeper reflection, if these Reincarnator were already dead, then who told Thanos the information and guided him to 2023?

It seems that the theory of time travel has emerged, with the classic example being the theory of maternal grandmothers.

Russell was completely bewildered. The Master Gu Yi was right; traveling between the past and the future was indeed a very dangerous thing.

He shook his head slightly, recalling what he had once said to Supergirl, "The past I travel through is my future, not my past."

Based on relativity, time can only flow in one direction, which is the unidirectional nature of time. This avoids the problem of multiple histories.

Russell looked bewildered. "However, the equations of relativity don't seem to specify that time is unidirectional... So, my mission isn't over because there are too many timelines?"

So how do we solve this? Go back in time and kill ourselves?

Completely baffled, Russell decided to put it aside for now and see. If he still hadn't completed the mission after selling all four gems, he would go to 2014 to find out the timeline of the other two gems' origins, which might be where the problem lay.

He piloted the spaceship to land and arrived at the temple with ease, just like running a dungeon. After doing it so many times, he knew exactly what to do next with his eyes closed.

"Hey, why is there such a big hole here? Could there be someone else here...?"

The stone chamber that should have housed the Power Stone was violently destroyed by someone, leaving a large hole in the wall and a long trench dug into the ground, stretching into the distance.

Russell blinked, and after a moment nodded in praise, "Great punch! The fist is full of righteous spirit, upright and unyielding. The person who threw that punch must be really awesome!"

Suddenly I remembered that he typed it himself, how could he not be awesome!

Boom boom boom————

Just as Russell was about to remove the Power Stone and put it back in its place, a howling wind came from outside the cave, and a black shadow descended from the sky.

Judging from the commotion, a spaceship has landed on Morag, and it's quite large.

Russell stopped what he was doing, frowned, and walked out of the cave. Someone was already looking for the gem before he had even put it down; the speed was a bit too fast.

"Could it be that some Reincarnator are still alive?"

Russell was filled with doubt. He looked up at the sky, his mouth agape. "Temple II, it's Thanos again, the third one!"

Russell glanced at the Power Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet and regretted not bringing the other three stones with him if he had known he would encounter Thanos on Morag.

There's no going back in life, but luckily the problem isn't too serious. It's just Thanos; killing him again wouldn't be difficult.

With his Wings of Light unfurled, Russell soared into the sky and landed on the Temple II ship before the ship's early warning system could detect him.

The Power Stone glowed with purple light. Russell clenched his fist, charged for three seconds, and then slammed it down on his feet.

With a deafening roar, cracks instantly appeared all over the black hull, and rings of purple air surged outward from Russell, sweeping up with immense force and increasing the air pressure several times over.

The terrifying shockwave expanded and exploded, and from high above, one could see the purple halo continuously expanding, eventually unleashing a boundless purple hurricane.

In an instant, the dark clouds surrounded by lightning were dispelled, the underground water source on Morag stopped gushing, and sunlight shone on the area, creating a secluded haven.

By focusing on using a single gem, the power drawn out actually becomes stronger!

Russell felt he had nowhere to reason with, so he continuously poured the power of the gems into the Temple II, causing the entire ship to tremble.

A purple tear spread across the ship's exterior, with faint rays of light radiating from the cracks. In the blink of an eye, the Temple II was surrounded by purple light, and with a cracking sound, it tore apart and began to disintegrate.

The separated hull could not withstand the raging purple energy and melted and evaporated as it fell to the ground.

Rumble!!

As the wreckage of Temple II crashed down, Russell loosened his clenched left fist and surveyed the surroundings from his vantage point, searching for survivors.

Soon, he spotted two disheveled figures: the bald man with purple hair was Thanos, the one dressed in beggar's clothes was Corvus Glaive, and the one leaning on a cane was Corvus Glaive.

Thanos is physically strong, so it's normal that his area-of-effect attacks can't kill him. Corvus Glaive survived, probably because of the Peerless Blade that housed his soul.

Russell's face turned cold as he flapped his wings and flew down from the sky, arriving in front of the two in the blink of an eye.

Corvus Glaive sensed a strong killing intent and suddenly became alert, assuming a defensive stance. A golden fist rapidly enlarged before his eyes, and a gust of wind swept past, slicing his cheek like a knife.

Don't try to take it head-on!

Corvus Glaive's mind raced, but before he could make a move, Russell's punch, imbued with terrifying power, struck the Peerless Blade.

Click!

The Peerless Blade snapped in two with a snap. Corvus Glaive only saw a Wings of Light sweep past him. He didn't even know who his enemy was before he collapsed in a daze, his body turning to ashes and disappearing.

Clang!

After defeating Corvus Glaive, Russell, still brimming with power, charged towards Thanos, smashing his Double-edged Broadsword with a single punch and sending him flying far away.

Boom! Boom! Boom—

A purple beam of light shot out from Russell's fist, striking Thanos. The ground trembled violently, and debris and water sprayed into the sky.

When the dust settled, large areas of the ground were completely destroyed, with cracks appearing everywhere, and gushing water quickly submerged the charred craters.

Thanos, covered in wounds, crawled out of the puddle and fixed his gaze on Russell. When he saw the Power Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet, his pupils contracted sharply.

"Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that this isn't the first time you've died at my hands." A wicked, sinister smile appeared on Russell's dark, misty face.

"Hmph, even if you don't say it, I know..." Thanos staggered to his feet and said meaningfully, "Time traveler, I never expected to meet you at this point in time."

"What did you say!?"

Russell exclaimed in surprise, but what surprised him even more was yet to come. Thanos out and touched his wrist, and a suit with a helmet enveloped his entire body, causing him to vanish in an instant.

This scene reminded Russell of the Avengers; the Stark used this same equipment when they traveled through time.

"Holy crap! Thanos is traveling through time to find the Infinity Stones, he... he's become the protagonist of the timeline?"

Russell was completely dumbfounded. As a boss, instead of feeding the enemy, he actually tried to do the Avengers' tricks. Was he trying to defy the heavens?

Buzzing!

The air vibrated as another Temple II descended upon Morag. Instead of a barrage of cannon fire, the warship cleared a towing path, and swathes of blue light descended, casting dense shadows directly in front of Russell.

Russell stared blankly at everything, his mind blank with shock, forgetting to launch the first attack.

Golden armor, a purple bald head with a large chin, and a sea of Double-edged Broadsword —the screen is Thanos!

∑(O_O;)

Holy crap!

Who am I? Where am I? Have I wandered into a purple sweet potato nest?
