Chapter 172. Thanos's Determination

In an unknown star system, hundreds of massive warships float, resembling a pack of lurking beasts, waiting to devour everything in their path.

At the very center of the fleet was an even larger warship, its surface covered with various mottled marks, telling tales of its glorious past.

Inside the warship's main hall, a bald man with purple skin sat on a throne, resting his chin on one hand and closing his eyes to rest.

Just sitting there casually exudes an aura of royalty, as if the universe were in his hands.

He is Thanos, the king of Titan, and now the dominant cosmic ruler.

Tapping.

A series of footsteps sounded, and a tall, thin figure slowly approached Thanos.

He stopped and gave a graceful bow, saying respectfully, "Great master, I apologize for disturbing your rest, but we have some accurate information regarding the exploration of the Infinity Stones."

As soon as he finished speaking, Thanos opened his eyes, a black vortex flashing within them. He slowly looked at the tall, thin figure beneath the throne, and his deep voice rang out: "Ebony Maw, tell me what you have."

Ebony Maw bowed again with elegance and respect: "First of all, the information about the Reality Stone did indeed come from Earth, and the Dark Elf who once possessed it has been killed by Odin."

In addition, Earth has two other Infinity Stones, the Time Stone and the Space Stone, and the power that protected Earth has been lost.

Odin, the king of the nine realms, is dead. His two children are incompetent and have stirred up two factions in Asgard, perhaps leading to a life-or-death war. The Sorcerer Supreme of Earth has also passed away, leaving behind only a group of lowly mages.

"Have you found out why the gods went to Earth?" Thanos asked calmly. He knew that the gods were his biggest obstacle.

"It's been investigated." Ebony Maw nodded. "The God fought a great battle with another super being called Ultraman. After winning, he took Ultraman away and then disappeared without a trace. Now, Earth's power is at its weakest."

"Oh?" Thanos nodded, slowly stood up, his eyes cold. "Where did you get such specific information?"

"From the Kree Empire, my most respected master." Ebony Maw lowered his head unconsciously, his tone becoming increasingly humble.

"The Kree Empire? Ebony Maw, have you forgotten that our relationship with them isn't good?" Thanos said calmly.

The casual words made Ebony Throat's heart tighten, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his face. He said in a panic, "Your Excellency, the news comes from Ronan, the accuser of the Kree Empire. After our infiltration and communication interception, it is indeed true."

Furthermore, they have already sent a small team to Earth, where they are currently engaged in a fierce battle and are seeking Ronan's assistance.

"Ronan? Heh." A chilling glint flashed in Thanos's eyes as he sneered, "Is the reward for this information helping him seize power on the Kree and providing him with warships and weapons?"

Ebony Maw's expression changed drastically. He swallowed hard. "You—how did you know that was indeed his request? I originally intended to personally help him seize power, my respected master."

"I know more than that." A hint of recollection flashed in Thanos's eyes. "I also know that you were planning to give him some obsolete warships."

"Yes, yes." Ebony Maw almost knelt down. Thanos today gave him an unprecedented pressure, not only from the pressure of the essence of life, but also from a sense of control that seemed to see through everything, as if the current Thanos came from the future.

Thanos slowly sat down and closed his eyes again. "Give him a brand new warship. Also, mobilize all available forces to go to Earth. Note, all of them!"

"Yes—as you command." Ebony Throat slowly withdrew.

After Ebony Maw left, Thanos was the only one left in the hall, sitting alone on his throne, the aura of time permeating the surroundings, as if he had lived through countless years.

After a long while, Thanos opened his eyes, his gaze instantly transforming from dark loneliness to absolute determination.

He pondered to himself, "Sure enough, the recovery time has been pushed back a little further."

"Ultraman? I've never heard of that name before. Is the prophecy about to come true? When fate deviates from its course, that will be the end of everything!"

As he pondered, Thanos frowned, a hint of pain showing on his face, veins bulging on his forehead. He instinctively clutched his head, as if something was swirling through his brain.

Just as Thanos was about to lose his temper, a graceful humanoid phantom surrounded him, its fingers tracing a line across his head. Thanos's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his pained expression gradually eased.

He reached out his palm, trying to grasp the phantom, but it slipped through his fingers like flowing water, leaving only a sigh that sounded like the end of the world.

Thanos stared at the empty hall, feeling the faint warmth still lingering in his palm, his gaze growing increasingly resolute.

"I will definitely liberate you! I definitely will!"

Use Earth.

Since its discovery, the unnamed island has become a popular spot for "team building" among the Stars of Light, who often come here for vacations.

At this moment, another villa was added to the list of villas surrounding the beach—this one belonged to Robert.

Over the past few days, Robert gradually adapted to the Star of Light and became familiar with his companions. Nourished by the energy of light, his body became incredibly healthy, and he even kicked his drug addiction without anyone noticing.

He often wondered if he was still dreaming, because what was happening now was something he never dared to imagine in his dreams.

Therefore, Robert was very grateful to the person who appeared in his dream, and he also learned who that person was. It was Ultraman's messenger, Ji Yuan, a great sage who saved the earth from fire and water many times.

According to Peter, Mr. Ji Yuan seemed to be planning something big, which is why he did not come out to see him.

In response, Robert can only say that Star of Light is wonderful. There is no hierarchy among its members; everyone is equal. Although there are differences in strength, everyone's status is the same.

Unlike before, when he had to be mindful of others' attitudes even when collecting subsidies, now he feels like he's truly living as a person.

Unbeknownst to him, Robert's admiration for Ji Yuan and Ultraman had reached its peak, and he longed to meet them.

Just as he was thinking this, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Robert, is it convenient for us to talk?"

"Hmm? It's you, Ji Yuan—? Sir? I'm at ease!" Robert was overjoyed.

"Just call me Ji Yuan. Treat this place like home and don't be too formal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Robert disappeared into the villa.
