บท 411: Chapter 408 Thanos Takes Action
Despite having his neck crushed by Kyle, Ronan didn't die immediately. His eyes widened almost to the point of bulging, filled with resentment. He seemed to struggle to say something, but as his consciousness faded, his expression darkened, and the Cosmi-Rod fell to the floor with a clatter.
As Ronan released his war hammer, his body slumped from Kyle's grip, clearly lifeless.
The Kree guards, witnessing Ronan's instant demise, bowed their heads in submission, holding their breath, afraid to make even the slightest sound.
The consciousness floated in the hall, addressing the guards in their minds. "You all have seen it. The criminal Ronan has received his deserved judgment, and the Kree Empire will return to its past peace and prosperity. Inform the senior officials of the Kree to convene an imperial conference here immediately."
"Yes, Supreme Intelligence!" The Kree guards naturally dared not disobey. They quickly left the hall to carry out their orders.
"Mr. Kyle. According to the agreement, from now on, the entire Kree Empire will treat you as the most honored guest and shall not engage in any warfare without cause." The Supreme Intelligence's attitude towards Kyle was exceptionally respectful.
If other Kree high-ranking officials, including the late Ronan, were to see this, they would undoubtedly be shocked.
"As long as they don't poke around into my affairs, I'm fine. As for the matters of the Kree Empire, they are none of my concern." Kyle replied casually, tossing Ronan's body back onto the throne. With a wave of his hand toward the ground, the Cosmi-Rod floated slowly into his grasp.
Seeing this, the Supreme Intelligence couldn't help but feel awkward. "Uh, well... Mr. Kyle, the Cosmi-Rod is a Divine Weapon passed down by our Kree civilization. It needs to be wielded by a Kree to fully unleash its power..."
"Yeah, I know." Kyle patted the head of the orange cat on his shoulder and handed the war hammer over to its left shoulder. The sleepy kitten opened its mouth and swallowed the entire Cosmi-Rod whole.
"That's the spoils of my battle with Ronan. I'll just feed it to my pet."
"Oh, of course, as you wish, Mr. Kyle," the Supreme Intelligence said with a smile, though inwardly lamenting the loss of the Divine Weapon.
"Alright then. I won't meddle in the affairs of your Kree civilization. Bye."
Kyle waved his hand before activating the fusion energy within him. With circles of light emanating from his body, he took a gentle leap, soaring into the sky outside the hall's doors.
As the trail of light dissipated, the Supreme Intelligence's main body wriggled slightly, sighing with emotion. "The human race is remarkable. The civilization of Earth is likely to rise rapidly in the near future."
Millions of light-years away in the Milky Way.
Near the Planet Titan, a colossal spaceship, the size of a planet, floated quietly in the dark outer space, resembling a wall of iron in the universe.
Within the expansive cockpit of the Interstellar Spaceship.
Five powerful extraterrestrial beings of different races, weapons, and appearances stood shoulder to shoulder in the spacious hall, exuding a faint aura of oppression.
Among them were a muscular giant wielding a metal axe, a dark woman in combat attire wielding a gleaming spear, an elderly white-haired man in wizard robes with his hands behind his back, an undead lifeform with a scythe, and a mysterious witch shrouded in a cloak with glowing eyes.
The Five Titans of The Titan.
Each one of them was capable of easily trampling Ronan underfoot. At this moment, they all bowed their heads in respect, watching the high-tech seat in front of them, which was emitting a trail of flames.
The seat floated in the air, slowly rotating to face forward, revealing a Titan man over three meters tall, looking muscular and powerful. He wore the typical Titan attire, with rigid dark purple skin that exuded an intimidating aura.
Thanos rested his chin on his hand, tapping his cheek with his fingers, calmly hoarse. "So, Gamora has betrayed me?"
The dark woman respectfully replied, "Master, based on the current situation, it seems so. I suspect she has learned something about the Infinity Gems."
"Ah, she has always been like this, never letting me rest easy." Thanos tapped the seat lightly with his fingers and he gave the order directly without much thought, "Supergiant, go fetch her. Bring Gamora back to me intact."
((Translator- Supergiant was a member of Thanos' Black Order (From Earth 616); she was a mentally unstable omnipath and telepathic parasite who seeks out intellect and devours it.))
"Yes, master." The dark woman nodded, holding her spear, and with a flutter of her cape, she exited the command hall.
The elderly white-haired man spoke calmly, "Master, there's news from the Kree Empire. Ronan claims to have obtained the message of The Orb and now seeks your protection and assistance."
Thanos didn't hesitate either, his voice deep, "Then go, Ebony Maw. Retrieve The Orb for me."
"Understood, I will fulfill the mission," The white-haired man bowed, his feet leaving the ground as he floated backward out of the hall.
After the two left, the hall fell silent once again.
Thanos looked at the remaining three, asking, "Is there anything else I need to know right now?"
"Yes, master," The muscular giant croaked, "The dwarves have finished crafting the glove capable of controlling the gems. They are waiting for you to inspect it."
"Ah, so the day has finally come," Thanos grinned, instructing, "Black Dwarf, retrieve the glove for me and wipe out the dwarf race. Spare their king's life, but cut off his forging hand. Also, destroy the neutron star furnace."
"I understand," The muscular giant hoisted his giant axe, stomping heavily on the floor with his bulky body as he left the cockpit.
In the hall, only two followers remained.
"There's one more thing. About Earth," The mysterious witch spoke up.
The undead lifeform said ominously, "Funny you should mention it, I was going to bring up Earth too."
The fact that both followers mentioned the same location made Thanos rub his chin, "Go on, then."
The mysterious witch explained, "Last time, the second prince of Asgard, Loki, didn't he speak to you? He's now leading the Chitauri to Earth, claiming to bring the Tesseract back to you as a sign of loyalty."
Continuing her words, the undead lifeform said, "From my investigations, the Sorcerer race on Earth has held the Time Stone for many years. Additionally, recently, there have been traces of the Reality Stone, the Ether Particle, appearing on Earth."
"You mean, there are three Infinity Stones on Earth?" Thanos' expression shifted slightly as he stepped down from his seat and stood over his two followers.
"Yes, master. Loki may not be reliable, so you can send me to Earth," The mysterious witch suggested.
"I'm also willing to go to Earth," The undead lifeform nodded simultaneously.
"Very well, very well."
Thanos seemed to be in a good mood. After pondering for a moment, he looked at his two followers and said solemnly, "Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive, the two of you, go and bring back all three gems to me!"
"Yes!" Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive exchanged a glance, then bowed before leaving.
Perhaps even Kyle hadn't expected Thanos to start sending his trusted subordinates to collect the Infinity Stones several years earlier than originally planned.
A disaster sweeping across the cosmos is about to unfold.
