Blue light flashed, and Temple II disappeared into deep space. After reappearing, it was suspended on the surface of a nearby wild planet.
It was not the cemetery Russell specially selected for Thanos, it just happened to be nearby. The rows of sunflowers were not planted artificially, it was purely accidental and coincidental.
In short, everything was an accident, without any premeditated factors.
Temple II released the beam, and Thanos appeared with the five Obsidian generals. In addition to the Dark Order, there were three men, one woman, and a lump of metal. Let's count them as five people.
Looking at the positions between the five people, you can tell that there is a gap and they belong to two forces.
The blue light flashed again, and Russell appeared with a group of thugs and lackeys, including the three legions of Hydra, the trio of the Marvel team, and the siblings Hela and Thor.
"Thanos, long time no see. Are you inviting your friends to come over for a meal?"
Russell glanced at Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet. The three gems of gold, green, and orange were eye-catching. He had already obtained the Soul Stone.
Yondu has confirmed that Gamora is alive and well, and Thanos's acquisition of the soul gem has nothing to do with his adopted daughter.
Apparently, he got the Soul Stone in another way.
Thanos did not answer, and glanced at the two gems in Russell's hand. He glanced at the group of thugs and frowned slightly when he saw Hela and Thor.
Asgardian royal family, Odin's children, he has recognized the identities of the two crown princes.
"We are guests from afar, but it's a bit sudden. For example, these few..."
Thanos spoke little, and Russell immediately changed his target and looked at the five strangers: "These guys came uninvited, and I was not prepared at all. Fortunately, it's not too late to tell them their names. There are enough graves and tombstones."
"Please don't get me wrong, the four of us are not here for war."
A strong man with a cool hairstyle said in a deep voice: "Hydra, as a newly rising force, has a very bad reputation in the universe. We are just here to confirm."
"Just a confirmation!?"
Russell curled his lips: "Very good self-introduction. I guess these people must be hypocritical stars from a hypocritical civilization."
Yes, Hydra has a bad reputation, but how much better can the Dark Order be?
It's not Russell's quibble, but if it's worse, Hydra is obviously not the opponent of the Dark Order. If you have time to confirm Hydra, it's better to talk about life and dreams with Thanos.
"My name is Karlak, the leader of the Royal Guards of the Shi'ar Empire. These three are..."
A strong man named Karlak introduced himself. Even though Russell's tone was not good, he adhered to etiquette and did not look like he was looking for trouble.
Shi'ar Empire!
When Russell heard this name, he frowned and couldn't hear a word of the words that followed.
The universe is so big that it is almost endless. Except for the ancient gods, no one knows how many civilizations and forces there are in the universe.
The three major cosmic empires currently recognized are the Skrull Empire, the Kree Empire, and the Shi'ar Empire.
The former two are full of contradictions, the war has lasted for countless years, and they are going downhill because of this.
As an emerging empire, the Shi'ar Empire is the youngest and most powerful. Unlike the other two empires, the civilization of the Shi'ar Empire is composed of many cosmic races. Each race has its own leader, and it is more like a union.
Under normal circumstances, the affairs of the empire are managed by the Supreme Council, but considering that the head of the council is the imperial royal family and has veto power, the real controller of the empire is the Shi'ar royal family.
The emperor has a personal guard, which is what the strong man calls the 'royal guard'. It is composed of elites and is led by the guard captain.
Russell remembered that this alien was named 'Dou Jian' and had a refreshing mohawk that was as eye-catching as a cockscomb.
Glancing at the hairstyle on the other side, he confirmed that Karlak was Dou Jian, the top powerhouse of the Shi'ar Empire.
"Karlak, this name... it's better to just call him Kal-El, or Clark Kent."
Russell whispered, he knew about sword fighting because of the opponent's abilities, such as super strength, speed, endurance, recovery, body of steel, heat vision, freeze breath, etc. He moved all D Superman's skill columns over.
The only difference is that the strength of the swordfight will change according to his confidence. When he is confident, few people can defeat him in a head-on confrontation.
But once he finds that he can't beat him and falls into self-doubt, his strength will shrink significantly and he will fall into an endless cycle, and he will be hung up and flattened by his opponent.
Either a big victory or a big defeat, sword fighting is so willful, there is no 50-50 in the dictionary.
The emergence of the Shi'ar Empire surprised Russell. According to intelligence, the foreign policy of the Shi'ar has always been based on peace.
The Skrull and Kree empires have been at war for years. In most cases, the Shi'ar Empire will intervene and declare the supremacy of peace.
When the two empires refused to listen, the Shi'ar Empire tore up the peace agreement and started war on both countries at the same time to help them end the perennial war.
Something seems wrong, but the Shi'ar Empire really did this.
Therefore, what surprised Russell was not that the Shi'ar Empire intervened in the war between Hydra and the Dark Order.
They're just the Royal Guards. Thanos can hire them with money, just like Hydra's cosmic mercenaries.
What he didn't understand was whether the Shi'ar Empire was full and had nothing to do. Whether it was Hydra or the Dark Order, they were countless light years away from the territory of the Shi'ar Empire...
This hand is stretched too far. Do you really think that holding the banner of peace is a cosmic vigilante?
Russell glanced at the four sword fighting men with disgust, and his eyes were fixed on the last mysterious man. The familiar smell of darkness and sulfur, he could recognize who the other person was without introducing himself.
"Brother Mephitus, forget about others, why are you even standing there?"
Russell clutched his chest and said with grief: "Back then, we sworn sworn vows in hell and promised to share blessings and hardships together. Have you forgotten those vows?"
"Hehehe..."
The mysterious man raised his hand and wiped his face, revealing the red-skinned devil's true appearance, and said with a sneer: "Brother Darkseid, of course I remember those oaths, and I have always regarded you as my brother, but what's the result?"
"In the end, you betrayed your trust and joined forces with outsiders to get rid of me!"
Russell's eyes widened. It turned out that this was the devil. It was so scary.
"It turns out that the name Darkseid is completely false. From the beginning of our meeting, there was not a word of truth in your mouth..."
Mephisto pointed at Russell and said indignantly: "This is not betrayal, but revenge. Your lies and ugly face hurt me deeply. You don't deserve to be trusted, you devil!"
"It's a joke, you can tell which one of us is the devil by looking at his appearance."
"Judging a devil by his appearance, you are indeed a devil!"
"..."xN
No need to argue, you two brothers are both devils! xN
At this moment, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly unanimous.
Including the losers behind Russell, they all agreed in their hearts and minds that neither of them was good.
The moment Mephitus revealed his figure, the five Obsidian generals were slightly startled, and Dou Jian and the three members of the Royal Guard cautiously stepped away from each other.
It can be seen that except Thanos himself, no one else knows about the arrival of Mephitos.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet."
Mephitus and Russell exchanged a few words, tightened the black cloak, pointed at Russell and said: "You only know that he is the leader of Hydra, but you don't know that he is also the master of the dark dimension. In hell, he is One of the top contenders for 'Satan'."
"..."xN
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.
The fifth General Obsidian looked confused, Thanos's eyelids twitched slightly, Dou Jian and other members of the Royal Guards once again retreated to a safe distance, lamenting that today was really not the right time, as for the dog legs behind Russell...
They were not surprised at all to hear that Russell was running for Satan and becoming the devil leader of hell.
This is bad!
Their own BSS wants to be Satan, but their hearts are calm, and they even take it for granted. How should this disease be cured?
"Don't be stupid, brother Mephisto, these lackeys have been trained by me a long time ago. Whether it is the Lord of the Dark Dimension or Satan, they will accept it with peace of mind."
As he spoke, Russell pointed at one of the lackeys: "Steve, what do you think when you hear that I am a Satan candidate?"
“Pretty cool!”
Steve's face was expressionless and he answered quickly, without giving Russell a chance.
"cut!"
Russell curled his lips angrily, put away his disappointed expression, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mephisto: "How is it, brother, do you have anything else to say?"
"Haha, they just don't understand the meaning of 'Satan'. If they knew..."
"Brother, needless to say, I am different from you. I never give myself a mask of hypocrisy, so they know exactly what kind of person I am."
Russell chuckled: "I'm ashamed to say it. When I usually make fun of myself, I use much more powerful words than you. If you want to alienate my lackeys, please save yourself some trouble!"
"I'm not, I'm not your lackey."
Thor warned aloud and instantly became the focus of the audience. Facing the opposite gaze, he scratched his head shyly and showed a simple and honest smile.
What a fool! xN
In an instant, the members of the Royal Guards immediately made a clear judgment.
"Brother, I still do things as discreetly as ever. In that case, I won't bother you."
After saying that, Mephitus rolled up his cloak and his figure gradually dimmed: "Hell, I'll wait for you in hell!"
Watching Mephitus leave, Russell's face gradually became ferocious, and he waved his hand: "Leave Thanos to me, kill everyone else, and don't kill those who are trying to thin out the empire, it's all money."
Boom! !
As the words fell, thunder exploded.
Thor took the lead with his ax in his hand, and his target was the captain of the Royal Guard.
The heat vision cut off Thunder, and Du Jian reluctantly fought Thor. The three members behind him transformed, either using metal suits, or using flames and cosmic energy, to confront the Marvel Team.
Hela charged at the five Obsidian generals in a one-on-one fight. The three Hydra legion chiefs stared at each other, not knowing what to do. Black Dwarf happened to fall out of the battle circle, and the three shrugged and surrounded him.
Thanos looked at Russell, with no intention of taking action immediately. The boss should have the boss...
"He~~tui!!"
