Chapter 420 Leon: The order of sacrifice is reversed

This is the command room of a main ship of Thanos' army.

Although it is a command room, it actually looks more like a cave where a thousand-year-old demon hides in a horror story.

The surrounding area is made of jagged rock walls dotted with light bands, but those light bands look like still lava in the dim environment.

Under the wall.

Turbid water of unknown depth surrounds Thanos' throne.

The throne was made entirely of stone, like a tombstone that had been weathered for hundreds or thousands of years.

Thanos sat on the tombstone, his hands on the armrests, his eyes closed, and a tyrannical aura naturally flowed out of him.

"scare!"

The moment she saw Thanos, Gamora subconsciously let out a sobbing cry.

But she immediately suppressed her voice.

He stared at Leon in disbelief, his eyes rolling wildly, trying to convey with his eyes that he should retreat quickly.

The nebula on the other side is not much better.

When she saw Thanos, a nervous look appeared on her cold face.

Leon took in the expressions of both of them.

He smiled and raised his voice towards the throne:

"Thanos, your two adopted daughters saw you again after a year, but neither of them felt the joy of reunion. As an adoptive father, you are a bigger failure than Odin."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers, releasing the spatial restraints on Gamora and Nebula.

The two looked at Leon, and fell to the ground with a thud, with a "hell" expression on their faces.

I can’t believe that Leon not only didn’t run away, but actually dared to provoke me.

On the throne, Thanos slowly opened his eyes.

A murderous gaze fell on Leon: “Who are you?”

Then he saw his two daughters on the ground.

Now he could no longer sit still, and stood up quickly, holding on to the armrests of the throne.

"Gamora! Why are you here..." Thanos was a little excited.

He had been tracking those Skrulls for a year.

He had been separated from his daughter for a year, so how could he not be excited?

But Thanos quickly realized what was happening.

He turned his cold eyes to Leon again: "Did you save her, or are you a Skrull!"

Thanos said as he stepped down from the throne.

The tall body was full of oppression, and the invisible pressure radiated out, making people tremble uncontrollably.

But Lyon didn't care.

He did not answer Thanos' question.

Instead, he pointed at Xingyun, who stood up silently with a dim look in his eyes.

"You have two daughters, but you only care about Gamora. Not only do you favor her, but you are also so open about it. This is not conducive to family harmony, Thanos."

Thanos glanced at Nebula and said, "They are both my daughters. If you save them, you will get two equal rewards."

"But if you were a Skrull, or on their side..."

Thanos slowly walked towards Leon and casually pulled out the double-edged sword next to the throne.

Obviously he had made a judgment.

Seeing Thanos getting closer with his sword clenched, the atmosphere became as taut as a guitar string.

But Gamora suddenly relaxed and even sneered.

Everything was too hasty before.

She suddenly remembered it now.

The man who brought them here was the one whom those terrifying Skrulls knelt down and called "Master".

This guy and Thanos both suffered losses in the fight, which is actually good news for her.

But the development of the situation was not what she expected.

Thanos approached with a sullen look on his face.

Lyon opened another portal without haste.

On the other side of the portal is a strange terrain with salt lakes and sand interlaced.

Leon took a step forward: "Follow me."

The three people in the command room were stunned.

The tone of voice that did not admit of refusal made those who did not know think that Leon was their boss, ready to take them out to buy watermelons.

Gamora and Nebula looked at each other, hesitated slightly, and followed Leon to the other side.

Thanos, on the other hand, stopped in front of the Mystic Gate with a sullen face.

"Who the hell are you?" His voice was as low as a saw chain rubbing against steel.

"It doesn't matter who I am," Lyon said.

He looked at Thanos in amusement.

This overlord of the universe was truly traumatized by the Super Skrull.

If it were Thanos from another universe, he would just step through the portal even if it was a trap.

Because he has the absolute confidence and courage to dominate the universe.

But now Thanos has been surrounded and beaten by the Super Skrulls many times using such enemy-luring plans.

So he was very cautious.

Carefully imagine——

As soon as he walked through the golden door.

A hundred or eighty Skrulls would immediately jump out from behind the door and hack him to death.

"You don't need to care who I am. What's important is that this is Vormir, where the Soul Gem is located, and it's also your last chance." Leon continued.

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the depths of Vormir, waving to Thanos.

"Follow me."

Thanos didn't leave, but Gamora and Nebula followed Leon.

Although they actually belong to Thanos's side.

But at this moment, seeing Thanos being defeated, the two of them couldn't hide the smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they were very happy.

Thanos stood alone behind the Gate of Mysticism, watching the three people walk away with an uncertain expression.

Finally he took a step and walked through the portal.

He did not consider taking his troops with him.

Because there is no need for that.

Time and again, wars have proven that in the face of the Super Skrulls, ordinary fleets, no matter how many there are, are meaningless.

And the five Obsidian generals are already dead.

Thanos no longer has anyone available.

The moment Thanos entered Vormir from the control room, the door of mysticism closed.

He immediately gripped his sword tightly, ready to face the impending attack.

However, after slowly looking around.

Thanos then discovered that this was just a simple saline-alkali land.

There were no enemies, nor any Super Skrulls hiding in the shadows ready to strike.

He frowned and silently followed the three figures in the distance.

A few minutes later.

A figure floating in the air, covered with a black robe and dancing in the wind, blocked everyone's way.

He is the 'ghost' here who is responsible for guiding visitors to the Soul Stone.

"Everyone, welcome here."

He called out the names and origins of each person one by one.

"Son of Arrus, Thanos."

"And Thanos' daughters, Gamora and Nebula."

The man in black robes looked at Leon again: "You...you seem to be the son of Stark, but you are full of mystery."

Leon looked at the man in black robes: "If you say he is an adoptive father, then he is indeed Stark. Red Skull, take us to the altar. Your mission ends today."

"You know me!" The man in black robe was shocked.

But he quickly said calmly: "Red Skull was my previous name. Now I am just a lonely soul exiled by the Space Stone."

He landed on the ground and turned to walk towards the mountain behind him.

"You have come here for the Soul Stone, so you must be ready to make sacrifices. Follow me."

Walk up the rugged and broken mountain road.

Everyone stopped at the edge of the cliff in front of the abyss.

"The Soul Stone is different from the other Infinity Stones. If you want to obtain it, the rule is soul for soul."

Red Skull said as he looked at the altar below the cliff.

"You must use the soul of your loved one in exchange for its appearance."

After a few seconds of silence.

Gamora suddenly sneered.

"The soul of a loved one?"

"Then it seems that our trip here was in vain."

She crossed her arms and looked at Leon.

"None of us here has ever loved another person. Your name is Superman, right? That's what those people call you. You brought us here for nothing."

"In vain? I don't think so." Leon looked at Thanos calmly.

Thanos has begun to perform stably.

He stared at the bottom of the cliff and understood what he had to pay to obtain the Soul Stone.

When he turned back, there was a tear mark on his face.

Gamora and Nebula looked incredulous.

"Are you crying because you can't get the Soul Stone? Don't be ridiculous. How could someone like you..." Gamora was caught off guard and took a few steps back.

"No, he was crying because he loved you too much but had to sacrifice you," Leon explained helpfully.

"This is impossible..." Gamora wanted to deny.

But when she met Thanos' eyes, she instantly knew that Leon was right.

The love and reluctance in those eyes were so real.

"You must be kidding me, you are definitely kidding me!"

Gamora's pupils dilated and she turned and ran without hesitation.

"I can't die for a stone! And I can't die for him!"

However, her slender arm was grabbed by Thanos and she was unable to break free.

Thanos looked at Leon with red eyes.

Two completely opposite temperaments, the tough guy's tenderness and the cold murderous intent, are intertwined in him.

"If your goal is to steal the Soul Stone, you will get nothing!"

Thanos declared war in a cold voice.

"And I will take away everything that belongs to me from you!"

He knew Leon had bad intentions.

But he had no way out.

According to intelligence, the Skrulls now have two gems.

The other gems are either in the hands of powerful people or there is no news about them yet.

Only if he obtains the Soul Stone and fights a desperate battle will he have a glimmer of hope of completing his mission.

Thanos shed tears of heartache and resolutely threw Gamora off the cliff.

Snapped!

However, a hand grabbed his wrist at this moment.

And left the desperate Gamora and his arm on the edge of the cliff.

The hand was long and slender, and didn't even look as rough as a warrior's, but it was incredibly powerful.

Thanos tried his best but couldn't break free, just like Gamora who was held by him.

"What else do you want to do!" Thanos asked Leon with a gloomy face.

"Sorry, you got the order wrong, I have to correct it."

Leon grabbed Thanos' wrist and punched him in the face.

boom!

Thanos was knocked out by a punch and fell to the ground with a bang.

Gamora also fell to the ground.

Gamora was still in despair the last second.

And Nebula is distraught because Thanos only loves her sister but wants to sacrifice her sister.

They all stared at Leon blankly.

They were completely unable to understand what Leon was planning to do.

"Don't look at me like that. Now it's your turn. If you don't want to continue cleaning up dragon poop, throw Thanos down."

Leon pointed to the cliff.

That was his plan from the beginning.

But the original plan was to kidnap Thanos and have Gamora and her sister throw him down as a sacrifice.

But unexpectedly, Thanos followed with his head down.

Like a porcupine foolishly rushing towards a tiger's belly in the woods.

Gamora and her sister looked incredulous.

The two of them pointed at themselves blankly: "We sacrifice Thanos?"

"Stop joking, do you think we love him? He is just a butcher, a madman, and a demon with blood on his hands!" Gamora cried loudly.

She really cried, cried and shouted, shouted and cried hysterically.

Desperately trying to prove to Leon or herself that she doesn't love Thanos.

Nebula was much quieter, but still shook her head in disbelief.

"Impossible. The person I hate the most is Gamora, and the second is my father... Thanos."

She pointed to her forehead and questioned in a firm tone.

"Every time I lose to Gamora in training, he transforms a part of me into a machine!"

"I'm not a human, nor a weapon. I've become something neither human nor ghost. Why do you think I would love him?!"
