"Shua~! Shua~!"
Hundreds of micro-missiles trailing white tail flames, illuminated by the dim light of the red dwarf star, crossed the desert in a perfect arc and quickly dispersed above Thanos' army.
"Click~! Click~!"
Immediately afterwards, the warhead and body seemed to unfold and fall apart. Each one ejected more tiny "balls", which fell densely towards Thanos' army, and at the moment of contact...
"Peng~! Peng~!"
All the "balls" exploded at low intensity almost at the same time, releasing thick green "water mist".
The green "water mist" that instantly enveloped 60% of Thanos' army was made of highly concentrated alien acid blood made using nanotechnology.
"Hey~! Hey~!"
"Howl...howl..."
In just a short moment, the entire desert was filled with the sound of violent corrosion, as well as the screams of different races such as the Chitauri and the Vanguard.
Not long after, 60% of the army that was enveloped in strong acid was wiped out before the war started, leaving no one left.
Moreover, the strong acid dense fog did not "evaporate" over time, but instead spread outside the coverage area.
Fortunately, the Terminators of the Judgment Angel did not want to end the battle so early, so they controlled it through the helmet screen and actively stopped the acid reaction.
!
!
As for Ebony Maw, Proxima Centauri and Black Dwarf, they obviously did not expect that just a few hundred people could inflict such a devastating blow to their unrivaled legions.
So Ebony Maw used magic to fly into the air, and was the first to charge towards the position where Horus and more than a hundred Terminators were.
"Roar!
! "
Black dwarfs follow.
“…”
Not to be outdone, Proxima Centauri ran silently.
"Boom~Boom~"
The remaining army that launched the charge with General Sanyao was still able to generate a shocking momentum, without fear of life or death...
The main reason is that they have almost no self-awareness. Of course, they don't know what fear is. They only know how to follow the orders of General Sanyao.
But as the absolute commander of the army, Thanos did not take a step, he just stood there, staring at Horus and the Terminators who were also motionless.
now.
If you look down from above, you can only feel that there are still more than 20,000 Thanos troops, and they are about to devour the "small" Judgment Messengers standing in a row.
Can…
"Dangdangtang!
"
The 75cal caliber parallel explosion, and the 10cal heavy explosion directly spit out a dazzling fire snake, and the crisp, "sweet" gunfire immediately covered everything.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Before the two sides came into contact, Thanos's army was like dominoes moving ten times faster. Pieces were blown to pieces by exploding bombs, and the sky was filled with blood and broken limbs.
According to this trend, before the Thanos army can engage in close combat with the Judgment Messengers, they will be completely killed by the "Explosive Storm"...
How can that be done? !
Absolutely not!
After finally being able to "have fun", why can't I just get over the addiction to shooting? It has to be shredded and hammered by hand!
therefore…
"For father! For the Lion King! Kill!
"
"Kill! Kill!"
Therefore, more than a hundred Terminators immediately ceased fire, let out metallic war cries, and charged in reverse with Thanos' army.
The confrontation between the two sides is about to break out.
Flying in the sky, Ebony Maw used magic to set off a storm of gravel, and then prepared to turn the fine sand into crystals and turn them into sharp blades...
"cough…!
! "
The ebony throat choked even more, and the originally gray skin began to turn purple and red.
"Forehead…"
Immediately afterwards, the top mage of the Thanos Legion rolled his eyes. He seemed to be suffocated to death, and his soul was drained instantly. In short, he completely lost his life.
Finally, it fell from the sky, hit the desert with a "plop", and then "Puff! Puff!" After a few times, it was stepped on by the vanguard guards who were still running wildly, and was torn apart.
Ebony Maw died tragically. It turned out that he was a Terminator wearing black robes and a red mark on the top of his helmet. When he smashed a Chitauri with one punch, he raised his left hand to swing at Ebony Maw and released his psychic energy. Make a pinching motion to solve it easily.
By the way…
easily…
You must know that Ebony Maw is one of the top mage in Universe 05, but facing a terminator who is skilled in the use of psychic powers, it is just "ah, it's just another ordinary day, ordinary killing".
"Winter! Winter!"
Apart from Leviathan, Black Dwarf, who was the largest in the Thanos Legion and was also at the forefront, took great strides and chose a Terminator with a power fist in his left hand as his opponent.
"Ho~!
! "It immediately raised its hammer and axe, roared and roared towards the Terminator.
Immediately afterwards…
"Dang~!" Before Black Dwarf could react, its hammer and ax was bounced away.
With a "Boom~!", the power fist immediately sent out a powerful psychic impact that was enough to distort the nearby space.
On the other hand, the black dwarf actively attacks?
The Terminator used a speed that the Astartes considered to be relatively ordinary, stretched out the index finger and thumb of his right hand, pinched the hammer and ax blade and pulled it away, and then retaliated with a fist in his left hand, beating the Black Dwarf. A piece of shit.
He couldn't even scream.
As for the surviving star Proxima Centauri...
It's a pity that when the Terminators were still willing to pull the trigger and shoot countless explosive missiles at Thanos' army, they didn't regard Proxima Centauri as a "toy that can relieve boredom", so they just shot it away.
"Tsk! How can you be so happy?!"
"Chubby! Chowder!"
"ah!
go to hell! "
The confrontation unfolded for a moment, and the entire battlefield began to be filled with metallic war cries, but the tone was quite disappointing.
There is no way, races like Chitauri and Vanguard really can't let the Astartes "play" to their fullest.
After the auxiliary troops, battle sisters, and even some ship-borne engineering personnel arrived at the battlefield on transport planes and transport boats, there were no "leftovers" at all.
After several rounds of high-energy beams and muzzle sparks, the only people standing in this desert area were Horus and the second company of the Judgement, as well as Thanos, who was still standing there, having lost all his subordinates and troops.
“…”
Looking around at the broken limbs and twisted corpses, Thanos actually showed a trace of unbearability and closed his eyes to soothe his mind.
After opening his eyes, Thanos slowly walked forward with a double-edged sword, and the Judgment Angel also received Horus's signal and did not rush to kill him.
When he reached a position about ten meters away from Horus, Thanos stopped and said: "I don't know where you come from, but I know that you have the ability to change a universe, and the resources of a universe there is…"
"rou~!"
But before Thanos could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of running through the air, and he instinctively raised his double-edged sword, trying to block.
Unfortunately, as soon as Thanos moved his hands, he heard a "chi!" sound.
"Gu...wu..."
Thanos wanted to say something, but he could only make a whining sound, and then blood poured out of his mouth uncontrollably.
At the same time, its head also "translated" away from its neck and fell directly onto the sand in front of it.
The body without its head also swayed backwards, fell heavily, and could never get up on its own.
At that moment, Horus heard that Thanos was about to talk about his "great" ideals, so he couldn't help it, he stretched out the index finger of his left hand and beheaded Thanos with a sharp claw blade.
The so-called "great" ideal, in fact, Horus learned from a private email sent to him by his father that Thanos was born because "the resources of the universe are limited, but living creatures reproduce without limit. If it is not controlled, there will definitely be an imbalance." concept, and then wanted to collect infinite gems and kill half of the creatures in the Zero-5 universe.
Moreover, Thanos also calls his concept of "balancing the universe" absolute fairness, justice and mercy.
To be honest, Horus can't refute anything about the limited resources of the universe. The main reason is that he and his brothers have not figured out what the origin of the universe is until now, so he usually won't say anything to avoid finding out later. The evidence was slapped in the face.
The unlimited reproduction of living things is usually judged according to various situations. Horus still remembers that his father told him about the main universe. In the 1960s, an ecologist conducted a study called "rat research". Utopia” experiment.
It refers to the use of a farm by researchers to create enough space for four thousand rats, with food and water provided. The only limitation is space.
In the end, Utopia did not increase the rat population to 4,000 as people had guessed, but at its peak, there were only more than 2,200 rats.
Experimental results show that in an environment where resources are abundant and mothers have to worry about food, the space and functions of a society will be filled up, and complex behaviors such as individual competition and pressure will cause the society to collapse and then lead to the demise of a group.
To put it bluntly, the vast majority of civilizations cannot survive the screening stage before leaving their home planet and embarking on interstellar voyages and colonization. They have already wiped out "themselves" by "themselves" and cannot wait for the moment when the resources of the universe are exhausted.
For example, the human race in the main universe, if not for the secret integration of the father, would have been annihilated at any time by a possible nuclear war or biological crisis if they were not careful.
In short, Thanos's thinking is too paranoid and imposes the root cause of the destruction of the home planet on the entire Zero-5 Universe.
Some people may think that Thanos is selfless and absolutely righteous, but in the eyes of Horus, Thanos' behavior is extremely selfish, and he instills what he thinks is right into all races without any explanation or distinction between right and wrong.
That's why Horus doesn't bother to negotiate too much with this kind of guy. After all, if you make a point, it can find ten people to criticize you back.
And the solution to the problems created by this kind of guy is also very simple, that is to kill!
Don't try to change the other person's mind with words. Only absolute force can correct it.
After solving 90% of the major events throughout Universe 05, Horus waved his hand and signaled the accompanying engineering and technical personnel to start recovering things of research value.
As for Horus, through spiritual perception, he led more than a dozen Terminators to open the teleportation device and went straight to the top of a mountain.
Here, they met a "person" wearing a black cloak, red skin, and a face that was no different from a skeleton.
And this "person" is none other than John Schmidt, the original commander of Hydra and Captain America's nemesis, nicknamed "Red Skull".
The Red Skull, who was exiled here by the space gem and had no choice but to accept the fate of being trapped, found that a group of giants "flashed" in its field of vision. It did not show excessive surprise like ordinary people, and said:
"Welcome to the land of despair, strangers, I know it is the Mind Stone you want, but her status among all gems is revered..."
While the Red Skull was explaining to himself, he led the silent giants to the sacrificial square built on the edge of the mountain. Looking at the stone platform below the cliff, he continued:
"It is the unique wisdom that ensures that the owner understands her power and must sacrifice the soul of the person she loves most."
Beloved? ?
Hearing this, Horus, who was not wearing a helmet, was stunned, and the Terminators behind him also trembled.
However, after Horus recalled the meaning of this sentence, he understood that there can be many kinds of love, not only love, but also family and friendship.
Needless to say, there was no need to mention love. The newly born Horus had never paid attention to it since he was a child. Moreover, there was no suitable person of the opposite sex who could match his body and soul.
And family affection…
Could it be that he had to sacrifice his father to get the soul gem? ?
What a joke!
Even without knowing the past of Universe 03, Horus would never have made a sacrifice or betrayed his father.
"Winter, winter!"
So Horus looked sulky, walked to the edge of the Sacrifice Square with increasing steps, and raised his left hand flatly toward the stone platform below.
"Pah~pah~!"
Immediately afterwards, the Claw of Horus on his left hand began to pulse with golden and black lightning, and at the same time, a vague spiritual energy wave enveloped the entire mountain peak.
"Boom...boom..."
The earth shook.
Then he made a closing movement, causing the five fingers and sharp claws to touch each other, and then raised his left hand violently.
“Peng!
! "With a sound, the Soul Gem, which emitted dazzling orange light, was "pulled out" by Horus in a sudden operation.
? !
Witnessing this scene, the Terminators were extremely calm. On the contrary, Red Skull, who was extremely calm at the beginning, became slightly shocked at this moment.
Slow down.
The Red Skull, which was originally floating in mid-air, chose to land on the floor tiles of the square, bowed down with great respect, and said, "See the future Lord of the Universe."
After all, being able to defeat the Soul Stone with one's own strength is definitely qualified to become the Lord of the Universe.
"Lord of the Universe?"
But he grabbed the soul gem that flew into his palm with his right hand and put it into the built-in box. After hearing the Red Skull address him as "Lord of the Universe", Horus turned around and corrected:
"I am not the Lord of the Universe, not now, nor in the future, but the original descendant of the Lord of Humanity, Horus Sui. Please keep this in mind.
I wonder if you are...? "
"I am just a guilty person trying to atone for my sins. I hope that the descendants of the Lord of Humanity can make proper use of the Soul Gem."
However, the Red Skull did not reveal his identity, and floated in the air again, gradually moving away from the Sacrifice Square, hiding his figure in the darkness, and finally disappeared without a trace.
