Chapter 582 Franklin's Plan
The last time Yang Le saw Franklin so determined was when he didn't have his Recovery Ability but still wanted to save his Parents.
Wow, what can I say? Seeing how confident he was, Yang Le could only hand over this mess that should have been his to Franklin.
To the worried Yang Le, Franklin patted his chest and guaranteed that he would definitely handle things well. He declared that this was his first step as a Multiverse Hero, and he would make sure to do it perfectly no matter what.
However, being responsible, Yang Le still asked Franklin about his Plan. After all, Yang Le's original intention was to enhance the Strength of the Avengers in the Cinematic Universe.
If he simply wanted to solve the Problem, Yang Le could have transformed into those powerful Alien Heroes and directly killed Thanos, instead of staying by the Avengers' side all this time.
Franklin also generously stated his Plan, which was that he would play Thanos, and constantly put Pressure on the Avengers. Finally, like a professional Villain should, he would lose to the Heroes at the appropriate moment.
Franklin also guaranteed that even though it was acting, he would still apply the necessary Pressure. The Heroes in the Cinematic Universe shouldn't expect Victory without paying a Price.
But before that, Franklin still needed a little cooperation from Yang Le, which was that Martian Manhunter could appropriately withdraw from the stage. Of course, Franklin wouldn't let Yang Le withdraw like a loser for nothing.
After the Explanation, Franklin flipped his Palm, and the Infinity Gauntlet that was originally on Thanos's Left Hand reappeared in his Hand. Humming a little tune, he removed two Gems embedded in it.
These two were the Reality Stone and Soul Stone respectively. These two Gems were considered the most mysterious and profound representatives of the Infinity Stones. However, judging by Franklin's casual demeanor, he probably chose them randomly.
Throwing the two Gems into the Air, Franklin casually flicked his Fingers twice. The two Gems transformed into two shooting stars and vanished into the Skyline.
"The great Plumber, Martian Manhunter, encountered Thanos who came to intercept him during his Mission. In order to protect his Partner, and for the sake of this Universe, Martian Manhunter risked his life to Battle Thanos, finally seizing two Gems before ultimately failing and dying..."
Franklin pretended to wipe away Tears, making Yang Le and Valeria speechless. However, the Audience's lack of appreciation didn't affect his desire to Performance in the slightest.
"How is it? A great Hero Story, right? It not only allows a powerful Character to withdraw reasonably, but also weakens the Strength of the final BOSS, and at the same time inspires the survivors, allowing them to pick up Gems to enhance themselves. Don't you think I have the Potential to be a Writer?"
To this, Yang Le's evaluation was:
"Reasonable."
Although the Story was a bit cliché, it did follow a certain logic, and it allowed him to get away. Yang Le naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
"Then what about the real one? How do you plan to deal with him?" Valeria pointed to Thanos who was still wearing a Mask of Pain beside her.
"Kill him. (No mercy)"
Valeria also agreed with this suggestion. The two of them weren't like the ordinary Universe's Fantastic Twins. They had struggled in the Zombie Apocalypse for several years, and many dark Things were already commonplace for them.
Not to mention them, even Uncle Peter had learned from the Apocalypse not to hold back. Perhaps because he hadn't fully transitioned back from the Apocalypse mentality, Spider-Man had become quite heavy-handed when dealing with those Bad Guys.
Many Criminals were beaten by him until they swore off crime. Those who didn't learn their lesson had their Hands and Feet broken and were forced to swear off crime.
Even kind Peter had become like this, not to mention the Fantastic Twins. In their view, many heinous Criminals didn't deserve a second Opportunity, like Thanos in front of them.
Invading and slaughtering the Residents of countless Planets, this single act was enough for him to die countless times over.
Besides, Thanos was currently invading Earth. You could shoot someone for invading your garden, so invading a Planet and me, Franklin, not snapping my Fingers at you was already being lenient.
*Snap!*
Okay, Franklin still snapped his Fingers. After the snap, Thanos exploded like a balloon. Don't misunderstand, he was actually turned into a balloon by Franklin and then exploded.
No bloody scene appeared. It looked like a funny handling Method like in Tom and Jerry, suitable for all ages.
"Alright," Franklin flexed his Fingers. "Next, it's time for me to show off my skills."
Saying that, Franklin snapped his Fingers again, and then he transformed into Thanos's appearance, putting the Infinity Gauntlet on his Left Hand.
"How is it?" Franklin said in a muffled voice. "I look just like the real deal, right?"
Yang Le gave an affirmative answer, and then transmitted his understanding of this Universe into Franklin's Brain, to prevent any mistakes during his Performance.
Franklin gave Yang Le a reassuring Gaze, and then used the Space Stone's Teleportation Ability to open a Portal. He was just about to step through when he stopped.
"Right!" Franklin had a flash of inspiration. Then his appearance changed again. The intact Armor became Battle Damaged, and many Injuries also appeared on his Body.
Simply put, he changed from being in perfect condition to having Battle Damage.
"Bye-bye!" Franklin made a funny Expression with Thanos's Face, then turned around and walked into the Portal. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be enjoying himself.
Franklin had taken care of everything, so Yang Le was naturally no longer needed here. He looked at Valeria and asked,
"So, where are we going now? Staying here to watch the show? Or..."
"Watch the show? Forget it." Valeria showed a disgusted Expression. "I don't want to watch Little Fu's clumsy acting. Just thinking that my Brother is under that Purple Sweet Potato suit makes me cringe so hard my toes curl. Let's go back to Universe 9527. I haven't seen Gwen in ages."
"About that..." Yang Le awkwardly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Valeria. "In short, I might not be able to go back right now, but I can Ask first."
"Wait," Yang Le paused, as if he had thought of something. "I also need to notify my other two Clones, and there's something I need to Ask 'someone' about."
"Ask who? Ask what?" Valeria felt like she couldn't keep up with Yang Le's train of thought.
"Um, I don't know if this will even work, but in short, we need to go to Outer Space first. Can your Battle Suit protect you and allow you to survive there?"
"Of course!" Valeria puffed out her proud assets. "I've added everything I could think of. Outer Space is nothing to worry about."
