American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

No one was sure whether he was hiding any dangerous weapons.

If Dane hadn't already obtained the Power Stone, he would have chosen to be more cautious.

But it doesn't matter now.

After having the Guardians of the Galaxy taken away, Dane met Nebula again.

"How did you complete the task assigned to you?"

Xingyun half-knelt on the ground with her head lowered: "I have contacted him, but he doesn't trust me."

"He asked me to show him the Power Stone."

Of course, Nebula couldn't show the gem to Thanos because it wasn't in her hands at all.

It is impossible for Dane to lend the Power Stone to Nebula just to gain Thanos' trust. That would be too stupid.

"As expected." Dane had anticipated this. "It seems Thanos values you even less than I thought. Let's leave this to Gamora."

Upon hearing this, Xingyun silently clenched his fists.

Dane glanced at it and ignored it. "Your previous words have already aroused his vigilance. You need to change your tactics and talk to Gamora to get Thanos to shift his attention to the Soul Stone."

Xingyun was confused for a moment, and only realized it after a moment: "She has found the whereabouts of the Soul Stone?"

Then there was gnashing of teeth.

Was he finally surpassed by Gamora?

"I understand. I'll go find her."

Shortly after Nebula left, Cortana's voice suddenly appeared in Dane's ears.

"Dane, I found something very interesting in a collector's basement."

"what?"

"It's a golden cocoon. I can sense that it's filled with extremely powerful vitality."

Dane paused, searched his memory carefully, and remembered something.

"I almost forgot about this guy."

The golden cocoon that Cortana mentioned should contain the embryo created by Ayesha, the high priestess of the Sovereign Supreme Clan, with the power of the entire clan. It will develop into the warlock Adam in the future.

A strong man who, like Captain Marvel, can travel across the universe in the flesh.

According to the original timeline, it should indeed be in the collector's warehouse at this point in time.

Dane didn't know why the Highborn placed it here, but now that it was in his hands, there was no way he could return it.

"Take me to see it."

Soon, Dane saw the large golden cocoon in the basement. The cocoon itself was made of an unknown material, with both biomass and metal components...

The cocoon was surrounded by vine-like things that grew deep into the ground like tree roots.

Dane could feel that a huge amount of vital energy was being transmitted from underground into the cocoon through these roots. This energy seemed familiar to him.

The Great Snake's genes make him more susceptible to divine power than any other race.

By placing your palm on the cocoon, you can even sense a faint heartbeat gradually taking shape.

"What do you think?"

Beside Dane, light and shadow transformed into a woman who was so beautiful that she looked like an inhuman being. It was Cortana.

"I didn't sense any fluctuations of consciousness from it."

"You think it hasn't given birth to a soul yet?"

"It seems so."

This goes against common sense. Research results from the Utopia Soul Laboratory show that intelligent life forms usually have a soul first and then a body.

Before the fertilized egg begins to differentiate, the basic soul information has already taken shape in the mother's womb, and the soul information comes from the little flash of inspiration at the beginning of the birth of the living body.

This aura comes from the death of one of the five creation gods. She is the source, creator and controller of all life souls.

Only in very rare cases will the soul be born after the physical body is formed. The essence of this delayed soul is derived from the information of the physical body and is not subject to the control of death.

Synthetic beings like the Eternals, Dane's current body, and Cortana 3.2's physical body are essentially of this type.

The same is essentially true of the Supreme Being in the cocoon before us. His body is artificially cultivated, not a product of nature, so the formation of his soul will lag behind the physical information.

Dane thought of the setting of Adam Warlock in the comics. His soul is closely related to the Soul Stone. It can be said that it was formed with the participation of this original stone.

However, this setting seems to have been abandoned in the movie universe, and Adam in the movie never touches the Soul Stone from beginning to end.

I don’t know if it’s because of this reason, but Adam in the movie always looks not very smart and seems to be lacking love.

No matter what, Adam's strength is worth looking forward to. Even the weakened Adam in the movie has the ability to withstand a planetary explosion and survive.

Since such a powerful fighter appeared before Dane, he could only accept it with a smile.

Chapter 1099 Thanos's Plan

The former site of Titan.

Thanos stood alone in the hall, gazing at the galaxy in the distance.

He stuck the Tyrant's double blades into the ground beside him, and his helmet was hung on the blades, making a tinkling sound as the wind blew.

At this moment, the most feared tyrant in the universe was staring at the distant starry sky in a trance.

Ever since the resource depletion problem broke out on Titan, Thanos personally slaughtered all his people. After so many years, the planet has gradually begun to repair itself.

The stars have reappeared in the sky, and perhaps in a few hundred years, the ecology on the ground will gradually recover.

Every time he saw the changes on Titan, he would once again strengthen his choice and firmly believe that he was on the right path.

At this time, Ebony Maw, one of Thanos' loyal subordinates and the Black Order, came behind him.

"Sir, our people have heard news about Gamora."

Thanos' thoughts were called back to reality, but he did not complain about it. He just said indifferently: "Where is she?"

"It is said that she formed a team called the Guardians of the Galaxy and now works under an interstellar mercenary group called Atlas." 25 "So the original stone is really in Nebula's hands?"

"No, your guess is correct. Nebula betrayed us, and the original stone is now in the hands of the ruler of Atlas."

Only then did Thanos finally show some interest in Atlas's legion.

"Have you found out their background?"

Ebony Maw, who was both the combat corps commander and a staff member, shook his head at this time.

"All we can find out is that they're from Terlan Planet, and that's information they proactively released."

After the Ronan crusade, Atlas became famous overnight and his fame quickly spread throughout the galaxy.

Cortana did not miss this opportunity and used the large platform of Xandar to further promote her reputation.

Even a large force like Xandar defeated its enemies by hiring Atlas, and few people would doubt their strength.

What's more, Ronan the Accuser did disappear after the battle with Atlas and is suspected to be dead.

After that battle, the Kree's home planet, Hala, quickly renewed the peace treaty with Xandar, which was an obvious signal in the eyes of those who were interested.

As a result, some small and medium-sized interstellar forces began to establish cooperative relations with Atlas.

After that, Atlas frequently demonstrated its strength in wars large and small, and the Atlas Legion and the Astartes Legion were gradually remembered by major forces.

The reason why Ebony Maw noticed this company whose main business was to provide military services was not only because the other party was from Terlan Star, which was a rather sensitive matter.

It was also because Atlas had sabotaged a cleansing operation initiated by a branch of the Dark Order.

That alien force was annihilated without any scruples by Atlas's army, leaving them no face at all.

You must know that in today's interstellar society, there are only a handful of forces that dare to openly oppose the Dark Cult.

In the past, the subordinate worlds of Xandar were also cleansed, but the matter was left unresolved.

How could a mere military contracting company have the guts to provoke the Dark Cult?

"It seems that Xingyun thinks that her current master can protect her." Ebonymaw sneered softly.

"She's still the same, a very straightforward child who will submit to anyone stronger than her. This means that the ruler of Atlas must be quite capable."

"Master, we should capture her and kill this traitor who dared to betray us!"

"Don't let anger affect your thinking, Ebony Maw. The nebula is never the most important thing. The important thing is the rough stone."

Thanos thought for a moment and said, "Since Nebula chose to follow the orders of her new master and deceive me, his purpose must be to lure me over. He might be confident that he can kill me."

Ebony Maw laughed at first, then seemed to suddenly realize something.

"You mean, that person has completely mastered the power of the original stone?"

"That's the most logical conclusion, isn't it?"

If Nebula's new master was not a guy seeking fame and reputation, then he must have inquired about the power of the Dark Legion.

Thanos's decades of conquests have earned his reputation with the blood of countless worlds and people. Who would dare to have any ideas about him without a trump card?

If the mastermind behind this is able to control the power of the Power Stone with ease, then he does have enough power to compete with Thanos.

Thanos is aware of his own strength, and he cannot guarantee that he can defeat any opponent who can perfectly master the power of the gems.

The outcome of victory or defeat will be influenced by many factors such as people, combat environment, and wartime psychology.

Even if Ronan had the Power Stone, Thanos would not dare to say that he could definitely defeat him.

That is the Power Stone, a legendary artifact that can control any energy. Whoever obtains it will see a drastic change in strength.

So in order to ensure absolute victory over his opponent, Thanos must also possess an Infinity Stone.

He believed that under the same conditions, he would be the one to achieve ultimate victory.

Currently, three of the known raw stones are on the planet Terminator. Thanos has always known that the Space Stone and the Time Stone have been stored on Earth for thousands of years.

The Mind Stone was lost in the previous battle when the Chitauri invaded Earth, and must have fallen into the hands of Earthlings.

Although the whereabouts of the Reality Stone is unknown, Thanos has studied the documents and deduced that it is likely in the hands of the Dark Elves.

The Dark Elves were defeated by Asgard's God-King Bauer a long time ago, and the Reality Stone is likely to fall into the hands of the Asgardians.

Odin is not dead yet, and Thanos is very afraid of him, so the Reality Stone is not a good choice for him.

By the same token, before Ancient One died, even if Thanos had the courage, he would not dare to snatch the Time Stone, so the other stones on Earth could only be temporarily abandoned.

The Power Stone is in the hands of the person in power behind Atlas. Thanos doesn't know him well, but the less he knows about the enemy, the more vigilant he should be.

It is very clear which of all the gems Thanos can choose in the end is the Soul Stone, which is currently ownerless.

And Thanos has guessed that Gamora should have known the whereabouts of the Soul Stone long ago.

When Thanos gave his two daughters the task, the first thing he was looking for was the Soul Stone.

But Gamora suddenly came to him one day and claimed that the mission had failed.

Thanos knew her too well and could tell she was lying at first sight.

But he did not force her to answer. Instead, he asked her to atone for her sins and find the second stone, the Power Stone.

His idea was to take the two raw stones into his palm at once.

Now, although there was an unexpected problem with the plan, Thanos is not in a hurry, as he still has room to adjust the plan.

"It seems we should find my daughter, Gamora first."

Chapter 1100 Sovereign

At the same time, the Supreme Clan living far away on the planet Sovereign learned the news that the ownership of the Void Land had changed.

When High Priest Aisha heard the news, her heart immediately skipped a beat.

She quickly asked her assistant, "What about the collector?"

"It is said that he is missing."

"Missing? How could he be missing!" Ayesha was almost angry to death.

She had a deal with the collector in the past. Adam's cocoon was placed in the Void Land in order to absorb the remaining life energy from the god's head.
