In the endless starry sky.

Captain Marvel was still flying backward.

Suddenly, an intense flash of light appeared before her eyes.

The light was so bright that it nearly blinded her.

After a long while, when the light faded, she discovered that where Ice Crystal Planet had once been was now completely empty.

What... had happened?!

Could Ice Crystal Planet... have been destroyed?

At the thought of that possibility, her feelings became indescribably complicated.

There was regret over her own weakness, unwillingness to accept her helplessness, hatred for Thanos's cruelty, and relief at having escaped with her life.

Amid those complicated emotions, there was also a trace of fear.

She had originally thought Thanos had come to conquer the Planet, yet he had destroyed it outright.

It reminded her of the terrible rumors she had heard about Thanos.

Things like eating several children every meal, bathing in blood every day, killing several people every hour for pleasure, and so on.

She had once thought those were exaggerated rumors, but now she felt that they could not express even one ten-thousandth of Thanos's evil.

Perhaps even the most evil person in the universe was no worse than this.

If she could, she truly wanted to clench her fist, smash it into that purple face, and kill him.

And that intense hatred miraculously caused the energy throughout her body to slowly stir, repairing her broken body.

This...

She did not know what was happening, but it was undoubtedly a good thing.

So she hurriedly seized the time to heal herself.

Time flew by.

More than a month had passed since Thanos destroyed Ice Crystal Planet and returned to Tyro.

At that moment, he was training hard in Sanctuary's Gravity Room.

The gravity had already been adjusted to two thousand times normal.

After obtaining the Star-Absorbing Technique and the Mind Stone, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds once again. He had now completely adapted to two thousand times gravity.

"Knock, knock..."

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door.

The door then opened, and Proxima Midnight, still dressed in her tight leather outfit, appeared in the doorway.

"My lord, Corvus Glaive has returned, and he has brought back important news."

Corvus Glaive was Proxima Midnight's lover, so he had asked her to relay the message.

Hearing this, Thanos immediately lowered the Tyrant's Blade he had been swinging.

"Deep Blue, shut down the gravity system."

"Yes, Master."

Only after the gravity system shut down did Proxima Midnight walk inside and kneel on one knee before Thanos.

Thanos set down the Tyrant's Blade and asked blandly, "What news?"

With her head lowered, Proxima Midnight said respectfully, "Corvus Glaive says he found an unclaimed wormhole. On the other side of it lies the Milky Way Galaxy that you have been searching for these past four hundred years."

Hearing this, Thanos immediately narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, the plot that belonged to him had begun. The Milky Way Galaxy, which he had failed to find after more than four hundred years of searching, had suddenly been found.

He was not someone who liked being passive.

If he could destroy Blue Star in advance, he would absolutely not let it continue to grow.

More than four hundred years ago, after conquering several star systems, he had proactively sent his subordinates to gather information about the Milky Way Galaxy and Asgard.

However, while his subordinates had found many rumors concerning Asgard, they had never located any exact coordinates. They did not even know where the Milky Way Galaxy was.

After all, the universe was simply too vast.

It was so vast as to be nearly boundless; even a unit like a light-year seemed tiny.

Because the universe was so vast, travel between star systems required Wormholes.

After all, distances between two star systems were measured in tens of thousands of light-years.

Modern Spaceships could rarely travel between two star systems.

Thus, natural and artificial Wormholes had become the most important means of transportation for interstellar travel.

After thinking for a while, Thanos said into the empty air, "Deep Blue, have Corvus Glaive come see me."

"As you command, Master."

After giving the order, he looked down at Proxima Midnight below him and continued, "You need to train harder as well."

The strength of his five subordinates was not weak even in the entire universe.

But against those absurdly overpowered freaks on future Blue Star, they were far from enough.

Hearing this, Proxima Midnight's entire body trembled.

For her, living amid slaughter was far more appealing than tedious training.

But she immediately recalled how she had been defeated not long ago and had nearly died, so she nodded.

"Yes."

Thanos had Deep Blue activate two thousand times gravity, then continued training.

Seeing this, Proxima Midnight could only circulate the dark energy within her body to keep herself from being crushed to death by the gravity.

What she cultivated was not Thanos's destruction energy, but dark energy.

However, as time passed, the energy in her body dwindled further and further, and she gradually began to falter.

Two thousand times gravity was simply too powerful for her.

Let alone moving, it was already fortunate that she had not been flattened immediately.

Seeing this, Thanos could only have Proxima Midnight leave first and instructed her to intensify her training.

Three days later.

The doors to the Gravity Room opened once more.

A man walked in.

He radiated an intense aura of death, wore a full suit of black armor, and held a war blade in his hand.

He was the renowned Corvus Glaive, leader of the Black Order.

The weapon in his hand was the Death Glaive, which housed his soul.

The moment Corvus Glaive entered the Gravity Room, he staggered.

But the deathly aura around his body soon surged, forcibly steadying his figure.

He then quickly walked before Thanos and knelt on one knee.

"Corvus Glaive pays his respects to you, my lord."

Thanos stopped training and looked down at the subordinate by his feet, whose face was pale as ashes, body gaunt and boneless, seemingly like one of the living dead.

He remembered that, in the comics, this fellow had not been particularly loyal and would betray him when he was weakened.

But of course, he would not hate the man for that. At most, he would remain wary.

After all, in the movie universe, Corvus Glaive had been extremely loyal. Even when facing the Avengers' attacks, he had fought to the death without retreating.

Therefore, Thanos would not judge someone's loyalty or betrayal based on movie or comic plots. At most, he would take appropriate precautions.

"Proxima Midnight said you discovered an unclaimed wormhole, and that the Milky Way Galaxy lies on the other side. Is that correct?"

Corvus Glaive nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, my lord. And I also rescued someone."

"Oh? You rescued someone as well? Tell me what happened."

With his head lowered, Corvus Glaive slowly recounted the entire course of events in full.
