Heroes Assemble
Ancient One lowered her head, seemingly unable to look Thanos in the eye, and said coldly, "My lord, I feel extremely unwell, and my mind is in complete chaos."
Upon seeing this, Thanos immediately realized that this must be the work of the entity behind the Ancient One.
While purifying the Dark Energy in the Ancient One's soul, he could also alter her soul memories.
Although the Ancient One now calls herself "Master," it doesn't feel respectful at all.
After thinking for a moment, he still asked, "Tell me about your experience."
Altering a soul's memories is a delicate matter; it's not as simple as just getting the other person to acknowledge you as their subordinate.
Otherwise, if there is a conflict between the other person's beliefs and experiences, it will lead to confusion in the soul, and then the soul will collapse.
He was merely altering some insights within the Ancient One's soul memories.
For example, by making the other party see the true nature of the universe as a dog-eat-dog world, they may come to agree with one's own ideas and actions, and thus join one's side.
Upon hearing this, the Ancient One frowned and said haltingly, "I remember... a thousand years ago, I think I fought against Asgard... and then I discovered the true nature of this universe..."
Although it's not very sequential, the general idea is that the memories and Thanos's alterations aren't too different.
However, in their hearts, they still hadn't let go of their obsession with protecting Blue Star.
They also possess a strong and unwavering desire to protect Blue Star.
After listening, Thanos immediately had a decision to make.
The person behind the Ancient One is probably one of the Celestials.
Only the Celestials would care so much about Blue Star.
After all, a Celestial was about to be born there.
Having made his calculations, Thanos took the Ancient One to other Planet.
Next, they were tasked with conquering the Milky Way.
Since Ancient One is so obsessed with protecting Blue Star, then he shouldn't go with me to conquer Blue Star, lest something unexpected happens.
Ten days passed quickly.
Thanos, riding in Sanctuary II, donned the repaired Tyrant's Blade and Tyrant Armor, and arrived at the edge of the Solar System.
Upon arriving here, he suddenly understood why the Celestial behind the Ancient One had used Dormammu to plot against him.
Ten Space Fortress the size of half a moon, thousands of large Spaceship, tens of thousands of medium-sized Spaceship, and millions of small Spaceship.
There are also other supply ships and replenishment ships, which together amount to over 100,000 vessels.
Millions of Spaceship were used to attack a Blue Star that wasn't even a Type I civilization.
It would be strange if the Celestial behind the Ancient One could remain indifferent.
However, since those Celestial didn't take action themselves, there must be some rules binding them.
Recalling his battle with Odin, the aftershocks of which could destroy several Planet, he suddenly understood something.
If one player takes the initiative in a game of chess, the other player will inevitably follow suit.
If the two Chess Player start fighting, the chessboard will definitely be smashed.
To protect the chessboard, the players certainly cannot personally participate in the game.
So the only way to sabotage oneself is by calculating Dormammu's abilities?
If I die, Hela and Laufey will definitely start fighting each other, Black Order also start vying for power.
At that time, the crisis on Blue Star will naturally be resolved.
When the time is right and a new Celestial is born, then the game will be over.
Unfortunately, the other party clearly did not expect that he also had a system.
He even recruited the Ancient One into his ranks.
A while later, Thanos received eight call requests.
Once the connection was established, the figures of the Black Order, Nebula, Hela, and Laufey quickly appeared.
The Black Order and Nebula remained kneeling respectfully on one knee, while Hela and Laufey merely bowed.
Thanos didn't waste any words with them, simply waving his hand to signal them to attack.
Because he had been outmaneuvered by the Celestial, he didn't want things to drag on, so he shortened the time for the final attack.
Under Thanos's command, ten Space Fortress were the first to cross the Kuiper Belt of the Solar System and enter the Star System.
Next came a million Spaceship.
The higher-ups on Blue Star quickly discovered this situation using the Harper Telescope.
Therefore, an emergency Blue Star coalition was immediately formed, preparing to make a final stand with the full strength of the world.
United States.
The sun was setting in the sky at that moment.
People are freed from a day's work, start going home, have dinner, and enjoy a rare opportunity for leisure.
The streets and alleys gradually became deserted.
However, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.. in New York was unusually lively at this time.
The Brotherhood of Illuminati, the X-Men, the Knights of the Round Table, S.W.O.R.D.., Wakanda, Kamar-Taj, Atlantis, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and even the Nova Corps sent people over.
There were several hundred people.
It can be said that all the well-known forces on Blue Star, including those not on Blue Star, have gathered at the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D..
The reason it's here is, of course, because S.H.I.E.L.D.. has the Cosmic Cube.
At that moment, Doctor Strange suddenly opened his eyes and said gravely, "Thanos is here."
Upon hearing this, the heroes immediately became eager to act.
"They're finally here. Let me kick their ass in the gut."
"Honestly, I've never seen so many Superheroes fighting just one villain."
"Yes, if Doctor Strange hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have known there were so many Superheroes out there."
"Where should we go to celebrate after the game?"
Although Doctor Strange repeatedly emphasized Thanos's power, the Superheroes, who had never left Blue Star, had no idea what a cosmic overlord was.
Seeing so many Superheroes present, and with military support, they all treated the operation as a mere formality.
Actually, you can't really blame them.
After all, most of these Superheroes were Ordinary Person before, and after gaining power, they believed themselves to be invincible.
Especially Mutants.
The focus should be on controlling power, not on increasing it.
Their limited perspective restricted their imagination of power.
Among this group of Superheroes, only a few members of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Nova Corps, along with some other ambitious individuals, showed expressions of worry.
At that moment, Magneto, wearing Helmet, flew to Professor X's side and, looking at his old friend in a wheelchair, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Our only chance to survive Mutants is right before us."
The Security Council has promised Magneto that if he can lead the Brotherhood to defeat Thanos, they will sign a bill legalizing Mutants status.
For this reason, they even released him from prison.
That's why he felt this was the only chance for Mutants to survive.
But Professor X, looking at his old friend's full head of white hair, said with a solemn expression and a worried look, "I'm afraid things aren't that simple."
Having joined the Illuminati, he knew some information that was being withheld by the higher-ups, so he didn't have it as easy as Magneto.
At that moment, Black Bolt, dressed in a black leather suit and wearing a trident on his head, walked over and patted his friend on the shoulder in a gesture of comfort.
Immediately afterwards, Tony, wearing a three-meter-tall suit of armor, walked over from the side.
"Guys, what do you think of this Anti-Thanos Armor? I'll punch that Thanos to pieces!"
Dr. Banner, who was nearby, walked over enviously and said, "I feel this outfit suits me better."
Tony looked embarrassed upon hearing this.
Actually, this suit of armor is called the Hulkbuster Armor, but because of the knowledge of Thanos's appearance, it was temporarily renamed the Anti-Thanos Armor.
Just then, a colorful figure suddenly flew down from the sky.
