Chapter 563 Gamora
If Ebony Maw and the others were to comment on the Martian Manhunter in their minds, there would only be one.
Powerful, that was the most direct impression. According to General Corvus Glaive's memory, the Martian Manhunter was simply powerful in every aspect—powerful physical strength, bizarre body control ability, and mental abilities that were impossible to defend against. He was practically a war weapon specifically forged for battle.
It was possible that relying solely on the Black Order and the Outrider Corps would be completely ineffective against the Martian Manhunter. This opponent was clearly not someone who could be defeated by numbers.
To defeat him, they could only rely on their Master, the Cosmic Emperor Thanos himself, who sat upon the Throne.
That's right, although the Martian Manhunter had displayed unbelievably powerful strength, none of those present felt fear. This was all thanks to their Master Thanos.
Thanos's power had accumulated bit by bit over time and had continuously deepened in everyone's inner heart. This was not something a suddenly appearing Greenskin could shatter.
After all, easily dealing with General Corvus Glaive was something Thanos could do even without the Gauntlet. Otherwise, why would the ambitious General Corvus Glaive return to serve Thanos? Naturally, he had been subdued by force.
Everyone here was a loser who had submitted to Thanos's great strength. They were well aware of Thanos's strength. Moreover, Thanos was now wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, which held four Infinity Stones. No one present believed Thanos would lose.
Therefore, everyone, even Ebony Maw, known for his wisdom, believed that the matter to be discussed at this meeting should be related to the missing Time Stone and Soul Stone, or at worst, just dealing with the defeated General Corvus Glaive.
Only Thanos, facing the powerful being from an unknown race who had suddenly appeared, felt a sense of urgency added to his already anxious inner heart. The unknown represented a variable, and Thanos disliked things that were not under his control.
"There is no need to worry about that creature that suddenly appeared, Your Majesty," Ebony Maw stepped forward at the opportune moment. "Your subordinate is not perceptive, but even I have noticed that you have added another Gem to your hand. The day your long-cherished wish is fulfilled is just around the corner."
Under Ebony Maw's reminder, the other three generals, who had been preoccupied with their own thoughts, finally noticed that on Thanos's left hand, wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, an unfamiliar purple gem was silently flowing with mysterious light.
"I went to Xandar, to the Nova Corps headquarters," Thanos shifted his gaze to the gem, and worry disappeared from his eyes. "I retrieved what was rightfully mine, and also obtained news of the Soul Stone."
"This is truly good news," Ebony Maw bowed slightly. "I believe the day destiny arrives is not far off."
"I have already been to the place where the Soul Stone is hidden," Thanos said with a complex expression, and then asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Has Gamora returned?"
"Not yet," Ebony Maw replied respectfully. Although he did not understand why Thanos suddenly wanted to recall his adopted daughter, he still complied.
"We contacted Gamora. She said she needed some time to return and should still be on her way. Should we switch to Nebula? She is in a nearby galaxy."
"No need," Thanos stood up and slowly walked down the Throne. "I cannot wait that long. Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, you two come with me."
"Yes." ×2
Corvus Glaive and his wife quickly responded to Thanos's order. Corvus Glaive even added a sentence afterward.
"Your subordinate will definitely redeem himself through meritorious service."
"That is the promise I need from you, Corvus Glaive."
Thanos walked past Corvus Glaive and his wife with a blank expression. Only after the distance was appropriate did the two slowly follow.
"Before I return, continue searching for traces of the Time Stone on Earth."
"Is it still necessary to continue recalling Miss Gamora?" Ebony Maw asked.
Thanos stopped his pace and continued after a few seconds, "Continue. If she returns, let her join the search."
"Yes," Ebony Maw no longer opening his mouth, lowering his head until Thanos disappeared from his line of sight.
…
In the vast and boundless cosmos, a small spaceship was gradually advancing towards its goal.
Gamora's expression was as usual, but her flustered gaze and hands tightly gripping the control panel betrayed her inner heart. She was not as peaceful as she appeared on the surface. This all stemmed from her father Thanos.
Even though she didn't want to go back, Gamora still obeyed the order, secretly piloting a small spaceship away while keeping it hidden from her noisy partners.
She wondered what would happen to those guys in the future? Gamora thought to herself, whiling away her time.
Unconsciously, the originally noisy group of people gradually became blurred, and only a handsome but annoying idiot became increasingly clear in her brain. Perhaps it was because this idiot had said something stupid not long ago.
Shaking her head, Gamora drove the man who liked Earth classical music out of her brain. Just as she was about to focus her attention on driving, the sound of an alarm came from the control panel.
"Warning! Locked on! Warning! Locked on!"
Gamora was startled and quickly called up the visuals from the camera at the rear of the spaceship. After zooming in, she saw a spaceship with an ostentatious but very old-fashioned design. Without guessing, she knew she had encountered space pirates.
Her own spaceship was just a small one, and generally speaking, it had no value to plunder. The cost of the missiles these guys used to lock onto her might even exceed the value of her spaceship.
"These scum just want to have fun!" Gamora quickly made a judgment. Space pirates committed all kinds of evil deeds, including arson, murder, and plunder. These guys' spirits were already abnormal, and attacking passing spaceships was simply normal for them.
"(Swear Words)!"
Watching the missiles getting closer and closer, Gamora cursed and forcefully slammed down the button beside her.
As soon as the button was pressed, the speed of the spaceship suddenly increased a platform. The armor at the rear popped open and shot out dozens of missiles, colliding with the missiles behind her.
Relying on the decoy missiles, Gamora dodged the first attack, but she knew that this was far from getting rid of these murderous pirates. She was not yet in safety.
The spaceship she was piloting was just a small one, and the weapons it carried were very limited. Half of the decoy missile reserves had also been used up. She had to immediately find a method to get rid of those people.
Just as Gamora was thinking about a countermeasure, she suddenly noticed a small light spot appearing in the real-time video recording. She quickly turned her line of sight to the video recording and discovered that the light spot was indeed the pirates' spaceship, but at this moment, they had turned into brilliant fireworks.
Someone had helped her deal with those pirates. Who could it be?
Just as Gamora was pondering, a spaceship that she was extremely familiar with passed through the smoke generated by the explosion of the pirate spaceship and was rapidly approaching her.
It was precisely that group of noisy guys she had been thinking about just now.
