Chapter 158: The captured researchers

Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight were assigned by Thanos to find the Space Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. Thanos can vaguely sense the location of other Infinity Stones through the Mind Stone, which is also one of the Infinity Stones, but if the Infinity Stones are sealed or hidden, it is difficult for him to sense the location of the stones.

Recently, Thanos has sensed that somewhere in the universe, an Infinity Stone is constantly emitting energy. Through the induction between the stones, he has also discovered that the stone is the Space Stone among the six Infinity Stones.

However, the area where the Space Gem is located is a bit tricky for Thanos. It is a blue planet that belongs to Asgard's sphere of influence, and there are a group of natives who have not yet entered the interstellar age. After learning this news, Thanos gave up the plan of leading the army directly to search for the Space Gem. Before knowing the location of all the gems, Thanos does not want to go to war with some powerful forces for the time being.

Of course, Thanos would not do nothing. He sent General Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight to go to the planet called Earth first to test the strength of Asgard and the strength of Earth. Although the planet Earth is just an inconspicuous life planet in the vast universe, Thanos still has some impression of it.

Many years ago, a powerful being forced back a fleet of the Kree Empire and issued a statement to the Kree Empire, claiming that a planet called Earth was protected by it and that the Kree Empire would not be allowed to send troops to invade Earth. With the Kree Empire's reputation in the universe, this statement and the powerful being named "Captain Marvel" quickly became famous in the universe.

Thanos also has some understanding of Captain Marvel, so this time he wants to test the strength of Asgard and Captain Marvel to pave the way for his future plans. This time, he not only sent two of the Black Order's generals out, but also gave the Mind Stone in his hand to General Corvus Glaive.

If the mission of General Corvus Glaive and the other two is successful, Thanos will be able to obtain the second Infinity Stone. Thanos is not worried that the Mind Stone will be lost in case the mission fails. He is very confident in the strength of his side. As long as he knows the location of the gems, these gems will not escape from his hands.

However, unlike the original timeline, this time, because of Noah, Loki did not fall off the Rainbow Bridge, resulting in Thanos and his men not being able to pick up Asgard Prince Loki who was drifting in the universe. So, in order to open the portal, General Corvus Glaive and his men could only capture scientific researchers on various planets, but the progress seemed to be very slow.

In the Chitauri mothership, General Corvus Glaive was yelling at a group of researchers in front of him.

"If you don't produce results, you will all have to bear the wrath of Lord Thanos!" General Deathly Glaive, wearing a black hood and with terrifying eyes, made threatening remarks.

After hearing this, the captured researchers all looked terrified and began to tremble. Since being captured on the Chitauri mothership, they have seen many researchers like themselves who were captured by the Chitauri and killed by General Corvus Glaive because they did not complete the other party's request to locate the spatial coordinates of a powerful energy source.

In their eyes, this General Grim Reaper was a devil who would kill without blinking an eye and take their lives at any time. Now looking at his expression, it seemed that he was going to kill again, which made them feel terrified.

"Sir, please give us some more time. Since Bri came here, our experimental progress has greatly accelerated and is almost successful." Among the researchers, a researcher with pink skin came to the front of a group of trembling researchers and said.

This pink-skinned researcher is very similar to humans on Earth. Except for the skin, his facial features are basically the same as humans. Of course, this is not a human on Earth, but a researcher from the Kree Empire, one of the three major empires in the universe. In the general impression, the Kree people are all blue-skinned, but in the Kree Empire, in addition to the blue-skinned Kree people, the pink-skinned Kree people also occupy a certain position in it.

The original Kree were pure blue-skinned. Later, when they established an empire and began to conquer the universe, they mated with other species and created the pink-skinned Kree. Later, the status of the pink-skinned Kree in the Kree Empire gradually became equal to that of the blue-skinned people.

This Kree researcher was originally working at an experimental base on a small planet belonging to the Kree Empire. Then the planet was suddenly attacked by the Chitauri and their base was destroyed. A small number of researchers survived the Chitauri raid, but were captured by the Chitauri and brought to their mothership to do research for them.

However, they did not understand at all what the Chitauri asked them to study. Although they provided a lot of data to them, a lot of this information involved things they had never known before, some magical knowledge from Asgard.

This directly stumped these researchers, and the experimental process was stuck here. Seeing that the captured researchers around them were killed one by one by that General Grim Reaper, they were very anxious, fearing that it would be their turn one day.

During this period, they watched the Chitauri capture some researchers every day, until a few days ago, they captured a wandering Asgardian, which gave them a glimmer of hope. This Asgardian researcher named Buri did not disappoint them, and greatly accelerated the progress of their experiments, but General Grim Reaper seemed to be impatient.

"I'll give you one more day. If you still can't complete the task, I'll have to replace you with another group of people!"

Under the threat of General Corvus Glaive, the Kree researchers dared not speak out but only smiled awkwardly and then hurried back to work, lest they fail to complete the task before the deadline and lose their lives.

After returning to the researchers, the Kree researchers told them about General Corvus Glaive's request. Everyone looked a little unhappy. They had all heard about the rumors about the Mad Titan Thanos. He was a madman and a super killer. It was said that every time Thanos arrived at a planet, he would slaughter half of the population. If they fell into the hands of such a madman, even if they completed the other party's mission, they might not be able to survive. But they had no other choice. If they did not obey the order, they would be killed directly.

Under the threat of death, each of them was very serious and did not dare to be careless. Soon after, a cheer came from the research crowd:

"We succeeded!?"
