Chapter 582 Thanos
Thanos slowly approached and imitated Jiang Shan, sitting cross-legged three meters in front of him.
His demeanor was extremely calm, and full of harmony; there was no worldly air in his body, just like an old monk.
But this guy is indeed a butcher.
Any civilization would be unlucky enough to encounter him in eight lifetimes and be slaughtered by him in proportion.
Thanos put his hands on his knees, looked at Jiang Shan quietly, and said: "I know you, I know how powerful you are. Dormammu in the dark dimension, Mephisto in the hell dimension, and the Elder of the Universe Gao Tianzun have all suffered from you."
"You also know me, my ideals, my beliefs, and what I want to do."
"So, let's get straight to the point."
He said, "I want you to give me the few Infinity Stones you have."
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Are you sure I have the Infinity Stones?"
Thanos nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
Said: "At least the Time Stone must be in your hands. The Supreme Sorcerer is the permanent guardian of the Time Stone. Since you are the Supreme Sorcerer, then the Time Stone must be in your hands."
"The Space Stone was supposed to be in Asgard, guarded by Odin; but I know that Odin hid it on Earth. You are the guardian of the Earth. Even if the Space Stone is not in your hands, you must know where it is and can easily take it."
Jiang Shan nodded and suddenly asked him: "The Power Stone is on this planet, you should already know that; then besides these three stones, what about the other three?"
Thanos smiled and said, "I won't tell you about the other gems, at least not before the deal is settled."
Jiang Shan nodded.
Then he said: "It seems that you do know that the Power Stone is here. You can come here directly and get the stone, but why do you want to use Ronan's hand?"
Thanos smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your target is the Kree Empire?"
Said: "Let Ronan get the Power Stone, and he will have the power to compete with the Supreme Wisdom. The Kree Empire will be plunged into strife - you are making a double-handed plan."
Thanos smiled and said, "Yes, your wisdom is admirable. The Kree Empire is the most powerful civilization in the galaxy. Even I dare not touch it easily. But if the Kree are in internal strife and division, it will be much easier to deal with."
He said: "If I can't collect all the Infinity Stones, then my ideal needs to be realized step by step with my own hands; and the Kree Empire is a mountain blocking my way, so of course I have to find a way to move it away."
"As for the Power Stone, consider it as a loan to Ronan temporarily. It will be kept in Ronan's hands for the time being. He is the short-term guardian of the Power Stone that I have chosen."
As he spoke, he sighed, "We must have a detailed plan for everything we do; we must look ahead ten steps before we take one step; we must look ahead three times before we take one path. Collecting all the Infinity Stones is my first choice, but if I can't do that, I have another choice."
Jiang Shan nodded.
Thanos is indeed a wise man.
In addition to the reason he gave, Jiang Shan thought of another reason for doing this; Thanos's notoriety had spread throughout the galaxy, and once the news that he had obtained the Power Stone spread, he would be in endless trouble.
Those powerful civilizations will be extremely wary of him and will try every means to prevent him from obtaining more Infinity Stones.
But if he uses someone else's hands to accomplish this, this problem can be avoided - before collecting all the Infinity Stones, people's eyes will not be fixed on him.
Ronan is a very good candidate.
Ronan has obtained the Power Stone, and every other civilization in the galaxy, except the Supreme Intelligence, the current ruler of the Kree, will be happy to see it.
Who made the Kree the most powerful empire in the galaxy?
Everyone hoped that the Kree would fall to the dust immediately so that they would have the opportunity to replace them.
Civil strife in the Kree Empire is a good thing for any other civilization.
At the same time, Thanos also achieved his goal of splitting the Kree Empire.
Killing several birds with one stone is nothing more than this.
When the time is right, Thanos can just kill Ronan and take back the Power Stone. It's very simple.
In the original plot, although there were some twists and turns in the process because of the Guardians of the Galaxy, in the end, the Power Stone returned to Thanos' hands.
He is a chess player, and his moves are very skillful.
At this moment, a medium-sized space fleet jumped directly into the space and arrived in the starry sky above the planet Morag.
Jiang Shan glanced and said, "Ronan is here."
Thanos nodded: "Yes, he is here."
Said: "I used the destruction of Xandar as bait to lure Ronan into the trap. I know what he wants. He actually wants to destroy Xandar himself. He just wants me to help him stop Captain Marvel Carol Danvers. I can satisfy him, so he came."
Jiang Shan frowned and asked, "Carol?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Unexpectedly, Thanos actually understood Carol's message.
This made Jiang Shan feel happy.
"Yes." Thanos said, "You must know Captain Marvel because she is also from Earth. Not long ago, she returned to the Kree Empire and destroyed a Kree fleet, declaring that the Earth was under her protection, forcing the Kree to give up their revenge on Earth."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Earth is really a strange place. Such a remote and barren place has given birth to awe-inspiring strong men one after another."
Then he said: "The Xandar people had conflicts with the Kree Empire before, and the two sides were on the verge of a war; but because of Captain Marvel, both sides had to stop fighting; Ronan hated it deeply. He is a radical of the Kree, he hates Captain Marvel and also hates the 'weak' Supreme Wisdom."
"He wanted to express his ideas by destroying Xandar, to express his attitude that he would never obey the Supreme Intelligence and would never be afraid of Captain Marvel."
Jiang Shan laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "It seems that although the time is short, Carol has already done a lot of great things."
Thanos said: "Yes. Her name has spread throughout the galaxy."
Then he said, "I have answered some of your questions. So, Your Excellency the Supreme Mage, should we get to the point?"
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Of course."
Thanos said: "So, are you willing to give me the Infinity Stones you have?"
Jiang Shan said: "Before answering this question, I want to ask you a question about yourself."
Thanos frowned: "I am not your question-answering machine."
Jiang Shan said, "I have heard many theories about your behavior. One theory is that you admire death, so you kill people to please her and gain her favor."
Thanos had a blank expression.
"The second theory is that your home planet Titan was destroyed due to resource depletion. This inspired you to believe that the resources of the universe are limited, while the reproduction of organisms is unlimited, so you have to kill half of them to ensure the balance of the universe's resources."
"The third theory is that you are an Eternal, a product of transformation by a Celestial Being. The demise of Titan was not due to the depletion of resources, but because a Celestial Being was born inside Titan. When the Celestial Being appeared, it drained the vitality of all creatures on the planet and destroyed Titan."
"You hate it for that. So you killed half of all living things to prevent the birth of the gods."
