#568 - We unite

Compared to the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Mantis, with her minor psionic abilities, was the first to react.

The information that suddenly appeared wasn't communicated through vocal cords like typical biological interactions, but appeared directly in their minds without passing through the air.

"Very perceptive," a gentle voice praised. "Indeed, I am communicating with you through telepathy."

"Get out of our heads," Star-Lord snapped. Drax's death had stripped him of his usual levity, and now even the slightest disturbance could enrage him, let alone a mind invasion, which was unacceptable to most.

"Who are you?" Gamora placed a hand on Star-Lord's shoulder, calming him down. "Why are you contacting us?"

In Gamora's view, the person who had suddenly appeared in their minds was someone they could reason with; otherwise, they wouldn't bother communicating. If they were enemies, they would have at least ten ways to deal with them.

"This isn't the place to talk. Although it's somewhat intrusive, I need to take you to another location."

Another location? The Guardians of the Galaxy didn't understand what the person meant. They only felt a shift in their vision, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

"Where is this?" Gamora turned her head, scanning the surroundings. They were no longer inside the familiar Benatar spaceship but in a pure white, seemingly endless room.

"This is the mindscape."

The gentle voice sounded again. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure wearing a black and blue uniform, with green skin similar to Gamora's and scarlet eyes. It was Yang Le, transformed into the Martian Manhunter.

"In simple terms, I've connected and pulled you all into a shared consciousness. Here, we don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping on our conversation."

"Who would eavesdrop? What are you afraid of?" Gamora stopped Star-Lord, who was about to explode.

"Afraid isn't the right word," Yang Le waved his hand, and a figure appeared between him and the Guardians of the Galaxy. It was Thanos, who had beaten them up and killed Drax.

The Guardians of the Galaxy were clearly traumatized by Thanos, not only instinctively backing away but even reaching for their weapons. However, they quickly realized that they weren't in the real world and didn't have their weapons.

"Thanos, he's exactly who we're going after," Yang Le said, waving his hand again. The image of Thanos immediately transformed into the Infinity Gauntlet. "I think you should know his goal: to obtain all the Infinity Stones and combine them into the Infinity Gauntlet."

"At that point, with just a snap of his fingers, he can eliminate half of the life in the universe. I don't think you want to see that happen, do you?"

"We don't need you to tell us; we're going to kill that purple sweet potato head," Star-Lord said fiercely.

"That's great," Yang Le floated in front of everyone. "Then we have the same goal. I propose we cooperate and share information."

"What can you provide?" Star-Lord calmed down. He didn't agree immediately but asked Yang Le first, wanting to see if he could offer anything of value.

"There are four Infinity Stones on Earth, and Thanos has already taken three of them."

"We know that," Rocket interrupted Yang Le. "He now also has the Power Stone, which was originally stored on Xandar, and is heading for the Soul Stone."

"You encountered him," Yang Le realized. No wonder the Guardians of the Galaxy were missing Drax, and Star-Lord and the others were so emotionally unstable.

Without a doubt, Thanos ambushed them and obtained the location of the Soul Stone after killing Drax. But now that Gamora is here, how will Thanos get the Soul Stone?

Yang Le didn't wonder for too long. Gamora, seeing that Rocket had said what needed to be said, didn't hide anything and told the story of their encounter with Thanos from beginning to end.

The story was indeed very close to what Yang Le had guessed, and after hearing that Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight had also gone, Yang Le also guessed how Thanos would obtain the Soul Stone.

This made Yang Le extremely grateful that he had contacted the Guardians of the Galaxy. This information was crucial. He not only knew how many stones Thanos had in his possession but also learned that Corvus Glaive had been resurrected.

It seems that the current movie universe is indeed somewhat different from the actual movies, so they need to be more careful when facing the other members of the Black Order. After all, the Black Order is quite strong in the comics.

Putting aside the others, just take Black Dwarf, who was almost fired from the Black Order. In the comics, he single-handedly held off Gladiator, Super-Skrull, and Annihilus. If Ronan hadn't launched a sneak attack, the situation would have been hard to say.

If it's the pathetic version from the movies, everything is fine, but if he hasn't been weakened, then Black Dwarf does indeed have the ability to confront Martian Manhunter head-on.

In that case, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation with just Puba and Martian Manhunter. It has to be said that the Guardians of the Galaxy's information is indeed crucial.

"So, there's only one Infinity Stone left," Yang Le sighed, and the image of a certain bald-headed man involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"You just said there were four on Earth, and Thanos took three, which means there's still one left on Earth," Star-Lord analyzed calmly.

"That's right," Yang Le nodded. "I know who has that stone, but we don't know where that person is."

"We're also here to find that stone," Star-Lord frowned. "Maybe we can indeed cooperate, find that stone, and destroy it."

Yang Le was stunned. He didn't expect Star-Lord to think so clearly. Indeed, if they had destroyed a stone from the beginning, things might not have become so complicated.

"That's indeed a good idea," Yang Le nodded. "But unfortunately, it can't be done."

"Why?" Star-Lord asked, puzzled.

"Because Earth needs the Infinity Stones for reconstruction," Yang Le waved his hand, and the tragedy on Earth was directly projected into the minds of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

"The damage to Earth is basically impossible to recover with human effort. More than half of humanity has died, a large number of species have become extinct, and even plants have disappeared in large numbers. The seeds of crops are even more precious than gold."

"There is also a group of people on Earth resisting Thanos," Yang Le continued, looking at the silent Guardians of the Galaxy. "This is the result of my discussion with them: to snatch the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos's hands and restore Earth."

"Including your companions, they can also be resurrected."
