The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 395 394. It is not a good thing to have too capable subordinates

The remaining four Infinity Stones are the Reality Stone, the Soul Stone, the Time Stone, and the Mind Stone.

The most important of these, and the one that gives Thanos the biggest boost, is the Reality Stone.

At the same time, this is also what Thanos feels very uncomfortable about.

He had gone to great lengths to capture the Elder of the Universe, the Runner, just to exchange him for the Reality Stone with the Collector.

Later, due to the interference of the coalition government, the plan ultimately failed.

If the Reality Gem had not been intercepted by the United Government, the invasion of Earth would have taken place afterwards.

And then the main fleet invaded the Black Robe Plane, and he was trapped in the Chaos Realm.

This series of events, with the blessing of the Reality Gem, may have a different ending.

Thanos knew that it was almost impossible to defeat the United Government through conventional warfare.

And the other party also knew the existence of the Infinity Stones.

So far, Thanos holds the two gems of power and space.

The United Government controls the three gems of Mind, Reality, and Time.

The only thing missing is the Soul Gem.

According to common sense, the United Government and Thanos should then start chasing the only Soul Stone that is currently without an owner.

In order to prevent Thanos from obtaining the Soul Stone, the United Government should mobilize a large number of military forces to obstruct and interfere.

In this case, the difficulty for Thanos to obtain the Soul Stone must be infinitely increased.

After everything that happened before, Thanos had a deep understanding of the strength of the United Government.

Even in his heyday, his chances of winning if he wanted to go head-to-head with the coalition government were extremely slim.

Not to mention that he has now lost his main fleet and his body has been severely injured.

To compete head-on with the United Government for the Soul Stone would be tantamount to seeking one's own death.

His real purpose was to spread the news and let the coalition government believe that his target was the Soul Gem.

This causes the coalition government to focus on the Soul Gem, thereby weakening its defenses in other areas.

Once the goal is achieved, Thanos will officially compete for the Reality Stone controlled by the United Government.

It's not the Time Stone, nor the Mind Stone, but the Reality Stone that Thanos has always been thinking about.

The Time Stone is currently in the possession of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, who possesses many bizarre magical abilities.

Moreover, the Earth in the Marvel dimension has just experienced a war, and the United Government has stationed a large fleet here.

It would be unwise to start with the Time Stone.

Another Mind Gem, for much the same reason.

There are tens of millions of main forces of the United Government Army stationed on the Black Robe Plane’s mother planet Earth, plus many powerful high-level super-powered people.

All these greatly increase the difficulty for Thanos to seize the Mind Stone.

What's more, although the power of the Mind Stone is also very powerful, it is much inferior to the Time and Reality Stones.

Taking all factors into consideration, the Reality Stone is Thanos' best choice at the moment.

Of course, the premise of all this is to deceive the coalition government.

After setting the voyage destination, the last large-scale fleet under Thanos' forces finally arrived at a planet code-named GB216 two days later.

Judging from the code name of this planet, we can tell that it has no special features worth mentioning.

In fact, this is true. GB216 is a "waste mine planet" with a harsh living environment.

A mining planet that was developed by an advanced cosmic civilization thousands of years ago.

As resources became depleted, they were gradually abandoned.

After that, it became a stopover for space pirates, plunderers, bounty hunters and other members of gray area organizations.

Under the leadership of the Gust Star Corps, the United Government Fleet went to Xandar to encircle and suppress the last known stronghold of Thanos' forces.

The Guardians of the Galaxy didn't join in the fun.

Because in a real large-scale fleet battle, a mere sub-flagship starship, commanded by "outsiders" like the Guardians of the Galaxy, is useless.

In Gust's eyes, there is no fighting power at all.

Instead of coordinating the battle with the fleet, provide some insignificant help.

Gust would rather they stayed behind and not distract himself by sending someone to guard them.

This obvious contempt made the Guardians of the Galaxy somewhat dissatisfied.

However, the United Government Fleet, which has always been known for its discipline, organization, and strict compliance with orders, did make them feel very uncomfortable.

As interstellar plunderers and bounty hunters, the last thing they want to do is be restricted.

So the Guardians of the Galaxy came to the planet GB216, openly urging the interstellar predators and bounty hunter groups to search for more information about Thanos' forces as quickly as possible and find the location of Thanos himself.

In fact, it is to show off their star battleships to those interstellar plunderers and bounty hunters.

"Guys, I have to say, the Coalition Government is the most generous financial sponsor I have ever seen in my life.

This is the main battleship of the United Government!

A war machine that had participated in the annihilation of Thanos' main fleet.

He actually sent it as soon as he said it would.

Of course, this is also inseparable from our contribution on Earth.

The situation was too critical at the time. Fortunately, we managed to turn the tide, otherwise Thanos would have destroyed the Earth..."

While drinking, Star-Lord passionately promoted the glorious achievements of the Guardians of the Galaxy to the plunderers and bounty hunters around him.

In his words, the Avengers were like a group of toy plastic soldiers.

The native troops of the human civilization on Earth are no different from "wooden stakes".

Fortunately, the people on Earth met the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Guardians of the Galaxy turned the tide and saved them from the dire straits.

Looking at Star-Lord's boasting with saliva flying, everyone in the "Big Bird Turn Turn" interstellar bar felt quite disdainful.

As plunderers and bounty hunters, they all knew that Star-Lord was bragging.

The Guardians of the Galaxy only have a few people in total.

On a large-scale battlefield, it can only play a fart role.

What's more, the other side is the army of Thanos, the Thanos force that makes countless interstellar civilizations and races shudder.

However, what makes these interstellar predators and bounty hunters feel more uncomfortable than eating a fly is the battleship parked in the planet's low-Earth orbit.

A 1.5-kilometer-long interstellar battleship.

This proves that what Star-Lord, the "big mouth", said is true.

The Guardians of the Galaxy did receive a capital ship from the United Government.

Gamora, Groot, Drax, Mantis and others did not join Star-Lord in boasting.

They were discussing the taste of the drinks in the bar.

Originally, Thor would never miss this kind of topic.

But now he is searching for the remnants of Asgard on several nearby planets, so he has to be absent.

Just as the Guardians of the Galaxy were waiting for the United Government fleet to destroy Thanos's stronghold on Xandar.

The arrival of a group of uninvited guests broke the cheerful atmosphere in the "Big Bird Turn Turn" bar.

"I heard you're all looking for me?"

A dull, hoarse voice caused the entire bar to fall into a brief silence.

Star-Lord turned around in annoyance, wanting to see who was so disappointing and interrupted his sharing. Unexpectedly, he turned around and saw a big man wrapped in a black robe. From his hood, he could vaguely see the slightly dry "purple potato bald head".

The most important thing is, beside him, one of the famous "Black Mavericks" in Thanos's forces: Supergiant, was obediently gathering behind him.

Supergiant is the commander of Thanos's base on Xandar. Why does he appear here?
It's already clear that Thanos is coming.

He was just bragging about how awesome he was on the battlefield on Earth. It was his appearance that finally destroyed Thanos's ambitions towards the Earth.

Now that he saw the real boss coming, Star-Lord felt as if a huge hand was strangling his throat and he couldn't speak.

Not only him, but all the interstellar plunderers and bounty hunters present were also in a panic.

Don’t think that they were just discussing how much bounty they could get from the United Government for the head of a grassroots officer under Thanos’ forces.

Thanos himself is an extremely valuable target.

Some people even fantasized that if they could kill Thanos, the United Government would reward them with a habitable planet.

But when Thanos actually arrived in front of these people, they all trembled like quails, without any of the arrogance and arrogance they had not long ago.

"I heard that the United Government has issued a reward. As long as you find my whereabouts, you can get one of their main battleships in return?"

Thanos' slightly aged voice echoed in the bar, and no one present dared to look him in the eye.

They all lowered their heads, wishing they could dig a hole in the ground with their toes and bury themselves in it.

No matter how generous the rewards promised by the coalition government are, you have to be alive to spend them.

After glancing at the people in the bar, Thanos ignored these cowardly bandits.

He set his sights on his adopted daughter, Gamora.

"Gamora, I need to ask you something."

As soon as Thanos finished speaking, Star-Lord blocked the way between Thanos and Gamora.

Even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, Star-Lord still stood up.

Gamora is his girlfriend now, and Thanos is his girlfriend's adoptive father, which makes him somewhat like a father-in-law.

But consider that this father-in-law once massacred everyone in my girlfriend's hometown.

Most people have difficulty grasping this complex and confusing relationship.

"Mr. Thanos, Gamora and I truly love each other!"

After holding it in for a long time, Star-Lord finally uttered these words.

The atmosphere in the entire bar was suffocated.

Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Mantis and others looked at Star-Lord in confusion.

Gamora herself couldn't help but roll her eyes.

'Damn it, now is the time to talk about this?'

Even Thanos himself was a little surprised. Before this, he didn't take Star-Lord seriously at all.

"I remember you. I heard that Ronan was defeated by you."

Thanos once sent the Kree Ronan to search for the Power Stone for him.

Later, the Guardians of the Galaxy disrupted Ronan's actions.

Although the Power Stone eventually fell into Thanos' hands, Star-Lord's name was successfully remembered by Thanos.

"That's right, so please rest assured that I can protect Gamora. She will definitely be happy with me..."

Star-Lord was still joking around and talking about all this and that.

Gamora on the side couldn't help but hold her forehead and almost collapsed on the spot.

'Are you kidding me?

You're making up this scene of a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law? !'

Of course Star-Lord was not wrong, he was very good at acting crazy and silly with this costume, and was very good at abstract and awkward acting.

This was done deliberately to delay the time as long as possible.

Even if the Guardians of the Galaxy present joined together, they would not be a match for Thanos.

Even though the opponent may seem injured, the superstars behind him and the many Thanos forces are not there to just sit there and do nothing.

If a fight really breaks out, not only the Guardians of the Galaxy, but the entire bar and even everyone on the planet GB216 will be killed.

Star-Lord is not exaggerating. Based on Thanos's ruthless record in the past, it is really possible that he would do such a thing.

So Star-Lord could only play dumb and pray that he could delay the arrival of Thor.

Now, perhaps only Thor, equipped with Stormragen, can barely fight against Thanos.

Thanos glanced at Star-Lord who was still talking and joking, and waved his hand.

Star-Lord was immediately flung away and hit the wall of the bar, fainting on the spot.

"Gamora, you have to answer my next question seriously.

If I don't get the answer I want, everyone in this bar will die."

As if to prove that what he said was true, Thanos used the nearest bounty hunter as an example to scare the monkeys.

Under the dual effects of the Power Stone and the Space Stone, he was crushed in mid-air, with blood plasma and minced meat scattering all over the ground. The scene was extremely horrifying.

There were so many looters present that the bounty hunter was frightened to death.

Immediately afterwards, under the order of Supergiant, a group of Thanos's warriors began to point their weapons at the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

As long as Thanos gives the order, a bloody massacre will immediately take place.

Gamora took a deep breath.

"go ahead."

"Where is the Soul Stone?"

"I do not know."

"Wrong answer. I searched Nebula's brain and she told me that you know the location of the Soul Stone."

As soon as Thanos finished speaking, a series of gunshots rang out, and more than twenty plunderers and bounty hunters were executed.

The bar was almost half empty.

The surviving looters and bounty hunters in the field wailed.

"I'm asking you one last time. If you answer incorrectly, I will attack your companions."

Watch as Thanos' troops target their fellow Guardians of the Galaxy.

Gamora's face was pale, she knew that Thanos was not trying to scare her.

"Vormir. I just heard that the Soul Gem is on Vormir."

"very good."

After Thanos confirmed that everyone present had heard the conversation between the two of them, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Sir, do we need to clear out all these people?
They heard things they shouldn’t have heard.”

Facts have proved that having too much subjective initiative among subordinates is not a good thing.

The superstar's words almost drove Thanos into autism.

If they really wanted to silence everyone present, how could the news of the Soul Stone be passed "not so deliberately" to the United Government?
Everyone present was terrified, and even Gamora fell into despair.

Everyone thought that Thanos was going to go on a killing spree and kill them all.

"Thanos! Die!"

At this moment, Thor, the god of thunder, finally arrived as a bolt of lightning destroyed the ceiling of the tavern.
