Chapter 181 / Chapter 182

Ding~

Su Chen placed the third gem on the glove.

Accompanied by a crisp, melodious sound...

Su Chen's aura suddenly became powerful and soared into the sky!

The three gems on the glove also shone brilliantly!

Yellow, blue, and red light gradually extended from the glove onto Su Chen's right arm!

It was a soft sound, yet it seemed to never cease. The originally slight ripples spread Infinity, as if they could shake the entire single universe!

It was as if someone had plucked the invisible strings of the entire universe, and the continuous aftershocks echoed throughout the entire cosmos.

In the vast starry sky, a purple figure suddenly raised its head!

Shocked and furious!

Thanos, who gained enlightenment from the Infinity Realm, is the only person in the universe who knows how to fully utilize the Infinity Stones.

And now, he too is feeling this terrifying energy emanating from the Infinity Stones!

How can he be so fast?

Sensing the combined energy fluctuations of the multiple Infinity Stones, Thanos's expression changed slightly.

"Fortunately, I'm about to find my second gem."

Thanos took a deep breath, trying to suppress the sudden panic that welled up inside him.

He then turned his head and saw the figure kneeling on the ground.

"Tell me the clues about the Soul Stone now. I have no patience to wait for your silence!"

Looking at Gamora kneeling on the ground, Thanos felt a pang of pity.

However, he still adopted a tough stance and spoke to the dejected Gamora!

From the moment he saw Thanos again, an invisible mental attack was omnipresent.

Thanos's methods for controlling Gamora were also quite forceful.

This harsh approach was also a huge Mind Stone shock to Gamora!

It's quite remarkable that Gamora has managed to hold on this long, and Thanos's words at this moment seem to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Finally Gamora slowly raised her head, her eyes lifeless.

"The clue to the Soul Stone lies on... the Vormir."

Finally Gamora lowered her head and uttered those words.

"Let's go! To the Vormir!"

An order was swiftly issued to the control room!

The enormous spaceship suddenly accelerated.

They began rushing rapidly towards their new goal!

Chapter 181

Vormir.

A planet that has been almost forgotten by everyone, and is nearly abandoned.

The day finally brought new guests.

Moreover, their numbers are numerous.

A vast array of spaceships suddenly appeared in this star system, with the lead, enormous spaceship heading directly towards Vormir.

"Let's go. I think you're also very eager to see this Infinity Stones, otherwise you wouldn't have been searching for this information for so long."

Thanos looked at Gamora, and gently shook his head before speaking.

"You guys keep an eye on these guys."

Thanos then addressed the others.

Along with Gamora, the Guardians of the Galaxy were also captured, although Thanos didn't consider them particularly skilled.

However, during a previous detention, the man who appeared to be a thief managed to break free of his shackles and attempted to escape.

It's a pity they didn't understand just how tight the security was inside this spaceship.

Because they were not just the Guardians of the Galaxy, but more importantly, they were Gamora's teammates, Thanos XII clearly saw Gamora's feelings for them.

Since there are feelings involved, there must be loopholes. Gamora persevered until now, but ultimately failed and revealed the reason for the whereabouts of the gems, part of which came from the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Following this defeat, the Legion tightened its surveillance of these individuals.

Although one of the Black Order was gone, the remaining four had all been mobilized to keep an eye on them.

Thanos personally led Gamora to Vormir.

When they arrived at this barren planet, they found a figure in a tattered Cloak who seemed to have been waiting for them all along.

"I am the guardian of the Soul Stone..."

"Obtaining the Soul Stone is actually very simple; it only requires an equivalent exchange..."

"Haha, Father, you didn't expect this, did you? It turned out like this! You have no love in your heart at all!"

"Wait... Father, why are you crying?"

"No... Father!"

Thump!

With a dull thud.

Everything has settled down.

As if sensing the arrival of a supreme treasure, the altar below slowly condensed a dark yellow gem in the air and floated towards Thanos, whose eyes still held a slight trace of tears.

"I've already paid far too high a price..."

Thanos completely ignored Gamora, who was already lifeless below, and simply turned his head away.

But his trembling hand, clutching the gem tightly, said it all.

Obtaining the Soul Stone is very simple; all you need to do is exchange it for your most beloved person...

"No! You bastard, where is Gamora? Why hasn't she come back?!"

When Thanos returned to the spaceship, Star-Lord, who was imprisoned inside, saw Thanos returning alone and seemed to suddenly realize something.

However, Star-Lord, who fought back, was ruthlessly knocked unconscious by the soldiers next to him and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Go, find a place where the Infinity Gauntlet can be made. Now that the dwarven kingdom has submitted to Su Chen, we need to find a new place. They're not the only ones in the universe with this kind of craftsmanship!"

Thanos spoke, and the remaining four generals nodded silently.

Everyone can clearly feel the slightly oppressive atmosphere.

Star-Lord was the same just now, but this time, he was unusually perceptive and realized what had happened.

"There's no need for these people to stay; let them remain on this planet as well."

Thanos then took a deep breath, suddenly turned around, left the spaceship, and headed to another spaceship.

It's clear that Thanos is not at ease with this current cosmic flagship because of the traces of Gamora's life still remaining on it.

After hearing Thanos's order, the four generals nodded slightly and, pushing and pulling each member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, brought them back to the planet.

"Hey buddy, listen to me! Don't listen to that big purple potato. Trust me, he won't give you much money, but I have tons of treasure maps here!"

One of the raccoons, who was bound, frantically jumped around next to the unconscious Star-Lord, trying to explain everything and secure a chance for its own survival.

But all of this was to no avail.

How could Thanos's four loyal generals be swayed by such sweet talk?

Even if there were something that could sway them, it would definitely not be these tempting things, but absolute force!

Boom!

An explosion rang out instantly, and thick smoke billowed up, engulfing everyone.

"What happened? Was someone ambushing us?!"

Of the four generals, Proxima Midnight reacted faster than the others. She instantly raised her weapon and then cautiously surveyed her surroundings!

A soft, milky-white light flashed, and then a spaceship shaped like an eggshell floated up around them.

The owner of this spaceship had already appeared next to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

"You little rascal, you've really given me a lot to look for..."

An elderly man, who looked like a nobleman, looked at Star-Lord lying unconscious on the ground, shook his head gently, then put his hands on his hips and sighed.

Upon seeing this old man, the pupils of Ebony Maw, one of the four generals, instantly contracted!

"Where did this bastard come from? Are you looking for death?!"

Having lost her husband, Proxima Midnight has never been in a good mood, and seeing someone suddenly disrupt their plans, she instantly flew into a rage!

But just as Proxima Midnight raised its weapon and took a step forward, a milky white light flashed once more!

Looking back, Proxima Midnight has disappeared, replaced by a long chasm.

At the end of the ravine, Proxima Midnight rolled its eyes, already unconscious.

"Do not act rashly!"

Ebony Maw suddenly stretched out his hands, blocking the other two generals.

They watched as the old man picked up Star-Lord, carried him into the spaceship, and then, ignoring the shouts of the other Guardians of the Galaxy, took to the air again and disappeared into space.

"That's strange, what's Ego doing here?"

Chapter 182

Looking in the direction he disappeared, Ebony Maw raised his head, his expression somewhat strange.

The other people were not familiar with this elderly man who had just appeared.

That's because they only care about the old man's appearance and ignore some other qualities.

For example, the terrifyingly massive fluctuations emanating from him, like those of a planet!

Ebony Maw, skilled in magic, was the first to realize this and the first to understand Ego's identity.

What shocked him was why this person, a member of the Elders of the Universe, would suddenly appear here and take that person away.

Few people heard Ego's muttered words before he left...

"Forget it, I probably won't survive against that guy anyway."

Ebony Maw thought about it for a moment, then felt relieved.

Ego is not a person at all.

That's a living planet!

As for why he would associate with this seemingly insignificant human, like a tiny insect, it's probably simply because he has some peculiar hobbies.

But would an ordinary person care about the life of an ant?

It's clearly not that simple; perhaps Star-Lord would also be in grave danger in his hands.

Ebony Maw naturally assumed that.
