บท 696: Chapter 695 "One Billion"

Looking at Thanos lying on the ground, covered in blood because of Aisha's magic, Jerry couldn't help but murmur to himself, "I guess lying is better for her."

He felt that it was best not to let Aisha know the truth about the fact that he was the Carmen who created her magic. Otherwise, it may really be a "lose-lose situation".

"What else do you have to say now?"

Everyone gathered around Thanos, who was injured by Aisha's magic and fell to the ground. Nebula pressed Corvus' blade against Thanos's neck and planned to kill him at any time.

Thanos spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed. There was no fear of death in his eyes, only regret, "The resources in the universe are limited. If this continues, one day, the universe will be destroyed, and everyone will die. You think you are doing something righteous, but you are just a group of fools."

"What I do is the right thing, and I'm saving all of you."

"Nothing can never be destroyed. When the universe is destroyed, it will reborn itself. If the world's end cannot be prevented, we will face it calmly. What you did is just straight-up genocide." Tony took a step forward and said.

Jerry waved his hand, "There's no need to explain things to him, just kill him."

Thanos's words may not be entirely wrong, and Tony's words may not be entirely correct. Some things depend on their perspective, especially the fate involving the entire universe. No matter how you debate it, there will be no real answer.

This is like a doctor who is dying, but now he only needs to kill a fool to bring his body back to life. After the doctor comes back to life, he can save countless patients who are waiting for his treatment and those who have incurable, terminal diseases so that countless families can be happy about it.

But when the fool dies, only the fool's family will feel sad about it.

No matter what choice you make, it cannot be considered a justified action.

Of course, this is just Jerry's opinion. He wants to protect the Earth and his friends on the Earth, so he has to kill Thanos, regardless of whether Thanos's vision is right or wrong.

"Do you think killing me will end this? You will regret it if you kill me. If you don't kill me, only half of the people on your Earth will die. But if you kill me, no one on your Earth will stay alive, and everyone will become malnourished." Looking at Nebula's blade, Thanos laughed loudly.

Her hand raised the blade, and a big purple head fell to the ground, his expression frozen in his laughter.

"What did he mean by that?" Steve frowned. He felt that what Thanos said sounded like a disaster waiting to happen.

Jerry waved his hand, "I know what he is talking about, but don't worry, I will solve that problem. You guys just need to manage Knowhere. Sooner or later, the Earth will have a connection with the universe, and you are the pioneer representatives of the Earth's contact with the universe."

He knew Thanos was talking about the Celestials egg on Earth. When the number of people on the Earth reaches a certain number, the egg will absorb all the life on the Earth and grow into a Celestial.

As for the Celestial, at most, it would be a universal level being, and it was not something that Tony and others could solve alone, so Jerry didn't tell them more about it. However, there is no need to worry about it too much because he is only one step away from the universe level.

He will have the chip to negotiate with the Celestials when he reaches the single universe level. If the Celestials wanted to judge the Earth and its people, then they'd have to face him.

"Mr. Tivan, we have dealt Thanos for you. Can we start to continue our previous agreement?" After defeating Thanos, Jerry led the Avengers to Tivan.

Tivan did not dare to ignore him when he saw this; he quickly smiled and said, "Of course, but Mr. Carmen, if you are still willing to sell all the Infinity Stones to me. I can pay five times the previous price to get them."

"Forget about it; I originally sold the gems to you, not for money, Mr. Tivan. However, I felt that it was not appropriate for me to keep all the Stones on me, and it would be better to keep them separately. But now it seems that it would be safer for me to keep it. "Jerry shook his head and refused directly.

Tivan sighed with a disappointed look on his face. Jerry is too strong. Judging from his performance just now, even if he calls for the strongest person among the Elders of the Universe, it will be difficult to snatch the Infinity Stone from Jerry.

Besides, Jerry is unlike Thanos. Thanos destroyed his Knowhere. He can find other Elders of the Universe to help him, but Jerry helping him deal with Thanos is equivalent to helping him out. He wanted his Infinity Stones, he could ask the Elders of the Universe to help him grab it, but they would probably disagree.

He had no other choice but to let go of it.

Jerry returned the one trillion units that Tivan had paid him before. The transaction was officially ended, and Knowhere had moved ownership.

"Goodbye then, Mr. Carmen." After the deal was over, Tivan did not stay long. He took his own spaceship and left Knowhere with some of his remaining people.

Tivan's Group's main base is Knowhere, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have bases on other planets.

Looking at Tivan passing through the jumping point outside Knowhere and disappearing completely, Jerry rose to the sky above Knowhere and began to cast a spell, "Reparo!"

The magic enveloped the entire Knowhere. It had been almost in ruins due to the battle between the two sides, returned to its previous appearance in the blink of an eye when Jerry and the others first arrived.

"Alright, Tony. I'll leave the rest of the matter to you." After restoring Knowhere to its original condition, Jerry handed it over to Tony to manage Knowhere.

As the richest person on Earth and owns Stark Industries, Tony is the most suitable person to manage Knowhere.

He began to open the panel and take notes of the most important thing this time: the red stars.

"One billion?" Looking at the one billion new red stars, Jerry's face showed a very satisfied look.

Adding the 500 million he had gotten from dealing with Ego, he had a total of 1.5 billion red stars and no longer took the amount seriously.

"Perhaps it's time to open the Darkhold." Looking at the number of red stars on the panel, Jerry pulled out the Darkhold that had been stored for a long time and decided in his heart.
