Chapter 363 The Sea That Was Steamed Up (Second Update)

Above Morag, Star-Lord, Gamora, and the others looked down at the vast ocean with puzzled expressions.

They didn't understand why Hawking had come to this abandoned planet.

Morag was originally a technologically advanced planet, but for some unknown reason, it was suddenly destroyed one day.

The ocean on the planet submerged all the continents, and the Morag civilization was destroyed.

Only every three hundred years, the sea recedes for a few days, at which time some scavengers will come in spaceships to scavenge and find some valuable items left behind by the Morag civilization to sell on the black market.

It will be seven years before the seawater recedes from Morag, and the continents here will still be submerged in the deep sea.

"Gamora, you should know that Thanos is collecting the Infinity Stones, right?"

Hawking looked down at the sea and asked.

Gamora pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Indeed, Thanos has been collecting clues about the Infinity Stones, and his cooperation with Ronan this time is also to get Ronan to help him find the Infinity Stones."

However, I don't understand what he wants the Infinite Stones for.

"Why? Of course, it's for his idea of ​​cosmic balance."

Hawking explained to the group:

"The Infinity Stones were forged from the essence of six singularities that contained infinite energy before the Big Bang. Each stone has a unique ability, and they can control six basic attributes: space, time, reality, power, mind, and soul."

Collecting all six Infinity Stones allows the user to make a significant impact on or change the entire universe according to their own will.

For example, if Thanos wanted half of all life in the universe to disappear, then half of all life in the universe would actually disappear instantly.

Thanos is known as the Director of the Universe's Family Planning Office because he has been dedicated to eliminating half of the universe's population to maintain the universe's balance.

He felt that the universe had too many people, and that one day the universe's resources would be exhausted. If half the population could be eliminated, the situation could be greatly improved, making the universe healthier.

Was his idea wrong?

Hawking personally felt that, rationally speaking, it was not wrong, but it was extremely inhumane.

Many things cannot be viewed solely from a rational perspective; that's something only machines can do. The reason intelligent life is intelligent is because it possesses emotions and morality.

As we all know, Earth's resources are finite. If humanity continues to develop in this way, one day we will exhaust Earth's resources.

In order to protect the Earth and for the sake of the future, we are randomly killing half of the Earth's population right now. Isn't that insane?

There are many ways to solve a problem, so why choose the most extreme one?

It can achieve sustainable development, conserve energy and reduce emissions, vigorously develop aerospace technology, and strive to obtain resources from space, etc.

There are always more solutions than problems; using your brain will always lead to more humane solutions.

If we really want all life in the universe to disappear, then the methods of the gods are better. They only sacrifice one planet every billions of years to give birth to one god, but they can continuously create new stars to improve the universe's resources and make the universe develop more healthily.

"If he randomly wiped out half of all life in the universe, did he have some serious illness?"

Star-Lord's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

Rocket, standing nearby, chimed in:

"If he were mentally sound, he wouldn't be called the Mad Titan."

"If the six Infinity Stones truly possess that kind of power, then it is indeed something Thanos could do."

Gamora's expression turned serious.

She finally understood why Thanos was so obsessed with collecting clues to the Infinity Stones.

Thanos and his army are indeed powerful, but the Nova Empire, the Kree Empire, the Shi'ar Empire, and the empires in other star systems are no pushovers.

Thanos could never wipe out half of all life in the universe on his own; he could only do so by using the power of the Infinity Stones.

"There happens to be an Infinity Stone right here, so that's why we're here."

Hawking pointed to the sea below and explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention on the sea below, seemingly trying to find the Infinity Stones hidden within the water.

"Even if there really is an Infinity Stone in this ocean, how are we supposed to find it in such a vast ocean?"

Star-Lord raised a crucial question.

Gamora and Rockets nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence for them.

Hawking simply waved his hand:

"Now that I'm here, I must have a solution!"

Everyone saw him flash by and he was already outside the spaceship.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

Hawking floated above the sea, took a deep breath, and then activated the magic power within his body.

In an instant, a huge dragon-shaped magic circle was formed, and flames composed of dragon-slaying magic at tens of thousands of degrees surged straight towards the sea.

Moments later, the flames disappeared, and the entire sea was evaporated, revealing the continent hidden beneath.

Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic, when used at full power in the later stages, could easily evaporate a lake. He possessed the same bloodline as Natsu, and his magical power was many times greater than Natsu's, so evaporating a sea was not a difficult task for him.

"Oh, shit!"

Seeing Hawking spew flames from his mouth and evaporate the seawater below in one breath, everyone on the spaceship couldn't help but swear.

None of them were particularly civilized, so their ways of expressing surprise were naturally quite similar.

"Now, I'm starting to believe what he's saying about the compensation."

After her initial surprise, Gamora murmured something under her breath.

Just now, she really wasn't sure if Thanos could withstand that attack.

"The cosmic orb is coming!"

Seeing that the seawater had completely evaporated, Hawking slowly landed on the continent below and then used the Summoning Spell.

The Summoning Spell, also known as the Flying Spell, allows you to summon an item automatically by silently reciting its name.

However, the range depends on the magic ability. Some wizards can summon items within a range of several hundred meters, while others can only summon items within a range of tens of meters.

At the same time, it has little effect on magical items.

But this is not a problem for Hawking. With his current magical power, he should be able to summon the Sphere of the Universe as long as it is on this continent.

Sure enough, a sphere containing a power gem soon flew out from the ruins burned by flames, then flew in an arc and landed in his hand.

With a firm squeeze, the outer shell shattered instantly, revealing the power gem containing boundless power within.

"This energy is indeed quite powerful!"

Using his inner energy to seal off the immense power that was constantly seeping outwards, Hawking took out the All-Powerful Weapon from his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan and then pressed the Power Gem onto the hammerhead of the weapon.

Instantly, the power gem's energy was sealed off by the omnipotent weapon.
