Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Preparing for the Expedition
"Poor guy..." After hearing Loki's words, Thanos stopped laughing and shook his head, feeling that the other person was pitiful and pathetic.
The other party wholeheartedly wanted to gain Odin's recognition, but from beginning to end Odin just treated him as a pawn to control the Frost Giants.
Moreover, Odin gave Loki hope that they could be equals, but in the end he cut off his hope and threw him into a cosmic wormhole.
As Odin grew older, he seemed to become kinder and no longer started wars at will, but that was only because he gained the Eye of Wisdom and knew of the existence of the Celestials, so he could only suppress his ambitions and began to use strategies and plots.
You have to know that when she was young, she was even afraid that her own daughter, Hela, would surpass her, so she sealed her in the underworld and even sacrificed all the Valkyries.
From this we can see that in front of Odin, all family ties and lives can be sacrificed for his rights.
This will get better? It won't happen even if the sun rises from the west.
There is a saying that goes, it's not that old people become bad, but that bad people grow old.
If you say that Odin becomes better as he gets older, that's a cosmic joke.
When Loki saw that Thanos looked pitiful towards him, he immediately became excited like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"What's the meaning of that expression on your face? Are you feeling sorry for me? Why should I be pitied? I am the future king of Asgard, the future overlord of the universe! When the time comes, you will all kneel at my feet!"
Looking at the other party's seemingly neurotic roar, Thanos frowned and said unhappily: "Enough, put away your little tricks, God of Cunning."
How could a man known as the God of Cunning lose his mind just because of a few words from me?
It's nothing more than deliberately exposing his spiritual loopholes to make people think they can control him.
In the past five hundred years, he has seen many people who think they are smart.
When Loki heard Thanos call him the God of Cunning, he immediately realized that his little thoughts had been known to the other party.
So his expression instantly returned to calm, and he said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to accept his fate, Thanos did not speak immediately.
Because he knew that this guy was definitely not an easy-to-use chess piece.
When you are taking advantage of others, they are also taking advantage of you.
So for this kind of people, you can only use them, not exploit them.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't need you to do anything, just be a good bargaining chip."
He came here this time just to confirm whether the other party was the real Loki.
When Loki saw Thanos leave the room without hesitation, he was really anxious this time.
"Wait, I am useful. I can bring you Infinity Gems. I know where the Space Gem is..."
But no matter how he shouted, Thanos remained determined and left without looking back.
...
After confirming that Loki was found, Thanos then recalled his other three subordinates.
Ebony Maw, black dwarf, supergiant.
The three of them, along with Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, are collectively known as the Obsidian Five.
He is also Thanos' right-hand man who has been practicing and expanding his power.
After the five Obsidian generals returned, he launched a level one mobilization for war.
The so-called first-level war mobilization means that all civilian activities and resources must give way to war.
The first thing was to pull ten meteorites with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers around the black hole, and then build an interstellar war fortress on them.
This kind of interstellar fortress is currently Thanos's highest technological achievement.
If the protective shield is turned on, I... well, it will probably take ten moves to destroy it.
Because he has never tried it, he is not very clear and can only make a rough estimate.
Then he increased the population on the planets under his control.
This is to prepare for the upcoming war with the Asgardian gods.
The war between the two forces will naturally not be like in the movies, where a few bosses fight each other and then the winner becomes the king.
That's because the movie time is limited, and in order to cater to the market, the presentation is very simple.
In a cosmic war between Asgard and a force like his, the number of casualties would be at least hundreds of millions. If the war lasted longer, it is possible that tens of billions or even trillions would die.
Increasing the population now can effectively reduce the pressure of future wars.
After completing all preparations, the next step is naturally to focus on manufacturing various space battleships.
His goal is to build a fleet of 10,000 space battleships in a year.
...
More than a year passed quickly.
In the temple.
Thanos sat on the throne on the top floor, looking indifferently at his five subordinates below.
After more than a year of training, although their strength is still not satisfactory to themselves, it has improved a lot.
It shouldn't be like in the movies, where he was treated as a minion and killed instantly.
After a while, he asked several of his men to bring their weapons, the Tyrant's Knife and the Tyrant's Armor.
The Tyrant's Knife is a two-meter-long double-edged sword composed of two one-meter-long broadswords, and its main component is Adamantium.
This is also the reason why Captain America's shield was broken with just a few cuts in the movie.
After all, adamantium is a metal that is harder than vibranium.
The Tyrant Armor is golden in color with black patterns. In addition to its very strong physical defense, its magic resistance is also strong.
In addition to Adamantium alloy as the main component, a certain amount of Uru alloy is also mixed in.
It is these Uru alloys that provide magic resistance.
In the movie, although the rampaging Scarlet Witch was suppressing Thanos, she was unable to kill him for a while because of the existence of the Tyrant Armor, so he found an opportunity and let Temple-2 launch an indiscriminate attack.
After being equipped, Thanos raised his head, waved the Tyrant's Knife for a while, and then pointed it to the sky.
"A new round of war has begun. Are you ready?"
The five Obsidian generals immediately knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.
"Your Excellency is our guide. Wherever your eyes go, that is our goal to conquer."
"I will follow your footsteps until the end of the world and the unification of the universe."
"We are your most loyal servants!"
After the five Obsidian generals made a very passionate and high-spirited oath, the subordinates around them also knelt on one knee and began to take the oath.
Among these people are biochemical warriors of the Dark Order, Chitauri, Titans, and so on.
