Chapter 203 The storm is rising
Upon hearing this, Di Jun shook his head. "Life was not created by gods, but is the product of autonomous evolution. The appearance of gods not only represents the evolutionary direction of living beings, but also ensures that life will not die easily. Gods will not interfere in the affairs of living beings at will, but your aggressive behavior makes me unable to sit idly by."
Thanos snorted coldly, "So many excuses. If I don't take care of half of the universe's population, will the gods just watch all the creatures in the universe starve to death?"
Di Jun looked at Thanos who had fallen into paranoia, "Since you want to save all living things in the universe, why do you stay out of it?"
Thanos was stunned, failing to comprehend Di Jun's profound meaning.
Di Jun sighed, "The gods trust the living beings and believe that they can control their own destiny. Therefore, the gods never interfere in the affairs of the living beings easily. Although resources are scarce, the living beings are already working hard to save resources and control the population. Are you turning a blind eye to their efforts? Why are you unwilling to trust the living beings and deprive them of the right to choose?"
Strange was filled with emotion when he saw that Di Jun, a god who was usually extremely majestic, was now full of regret and grief for Thanos, and was still admonishing him earnestly.
Although Thanos' original intention was good, his methods were so extreme and his ideas were so inhumane.
In other words, Thanos simply magnified the evil and paranoia in people's hearts to the extreme. Maybe there is no Thanos in the world, or maybe everyone can become Thanos.
Thanos was silent for a moment, then retorted: "If I don't remove myself from life, how can I look at the crisis of living beings rationally? The only way to reduce half of the life in the universe is the safest and most effective way. You can't convince me."
Di Jun's voice was still gentle but firm. "Heaven and earth are selfless and regard all things as straw dogs; saints are selfless and regard the people as straw dogs. It is difficult to satisfy everyone. You have your ideas and others have theirs. I have never thought of convincing you. The only one who can convince you is yourself. You separate yourself from the living beings, but destroy the living beings as a living being. In this way, can you really achieve the purpose of justice? Unjust means cannot bring true justice. Thanos, stop it."
"No, don't even think about it! Even if you are a god, I will kill you! If you die, no one can stop me!" Thanos shouted almost madly, waving the Infinity Gauntlet, and pounced on Di Jun.
Di Jun just sighed with pity. Although Thanos has entered the realm of rules, he still exists in the form of a living being.
This contradictory and harmonious state had a great impact on his spirit, making his mind more paranoid and unwavering in carrying out his plan. With the blessing of the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gems, he even knocked Di Jun back several steps with one punch.
The onlookers were all in disbelief.
Strange, Thor and others found it hard to believe that anyone could push Di Jun back several steps, while the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy found it hard to believe that anyone could withstand the full force of Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet.
You know, they almost lost their lives when fighting Ronan who only had one Infinity Stone.
Thanos keeps attacking Di Jun, always with all his might, as if he is accusing the gods of why they want to stop his dream. He obviously has good intentions, so why does no one understand him?
When Thanos finally ran out of strength and stopped attacking, Di Jun walked up to him and asked, "Any regrets?"
Thanos laughed at himself, "My biggest regret is that I didn't destroy you so-called gods."
Di Jun waved his hand and cut off Thanos' head.
Seeing him die with his eyes open, Di Jun remained silent.
In the end, he respected Thanos' wishes and did not close his eyes.
Di Jun left slowly. Everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, except Xingyun, who had a heavy expression on his face. He stared at Di Jun's back in silence.
Gamora walked closer to her, "Nebula, what are you still worried about?"
Nebula's eyes fell on Thanos, whose head and body were separated not far away, "I'm worried that he will attack again."
Gamora couldn't help laughing, "Don't be ridiculous, how can the dead be resurrected? Thanos was killed by the Chinese gods again, how could he come back?"
Nebula didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "Do you remember Ronan?"
Gamora smiled slightly, "Of course I remember, what's the matter? We destroyed him before Thanos."
Nebula guided: "Ronan is a Kree."
Gamora continued, "I know that the Kree have advanced technology. But hasn't their planet been destroyed? Are they now wandering in the universe? When Ronan and I went to Blue Star, we met a few people on Blue Star who were skilled in technology. No matter how advanced their technology is, they are just a group of homeless wanderers. What kind of waves can they cause?"
Nebula lowered her head in silence, and a machine part popped out from her hand. This was Thanos' punishment for her. Every time she failed in a fight with Gamora, she would have an extra machine part on her body.
This machine component showed the image of the huge battleship when Thanos invaded Blue Star. Gamora was shocked when she saw the Vanguard ignore the energy shield above the Blue Star's atmosphere and land directly on the surface of Blue Star.
Nebula's voice rang in her ears. "These are the Kree people who are living under the protection of others. They developed space-jumping technology without our knowledge. I suspect they have made the same achievement in the field of time. They have long been secretly colluding with Thanos. Even the Mind Stone and Space Stone in Thanos' hands were provided by the Kree. They may know Thanos's purpose, but are still willing to help him, most likely because they have mastered a way to avoid the crisis of Thanos randomly wiping out half of all life."
Camorra couldn't believe it and asked in a daze: "Is this true?"
Nebula sneered, "Sister, don't forget that the rules of space and time in the quantum universe are completely different from the universe we live in. Once they hide in the quantum universe, Thanos's threat of random destruction will have no effect on them."
Gamora came back to her senses and looked at Nebula, "But what does this have to do with Thanos' possible comeback?"
Nebula didn't know if Gamora was a little dazed because the war had just ended, but she still patiently explained: "Don't forget, Thanos's technology is not low. He has connections with the Kree and may also have the technology to travel to the quantum universe. He can commit space-time theft, first travel to the quantum universe, locate certain space-time coordinates there, and then appear from another point in time. Do you think that when the time comes, the one who appears in front of us will be a brand new Thanos with six Infinity Stones?"
Gamora took a deep breath and tried to probe, "But, no one is carrying out this plan for Thanos, right?"
Nebula was helpless about Gamora's slowness, and said with some regret: "Thanos has five generals who can destroy the world. Can you imagine how many of them we have seen so far?"
Gamora muttered to herself blankly, "Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Marquis, and Black Dwarf. Four people in total! Thanos still has one of his men who hasn't shown up yet!"
The two people's whispering did not attract attention at first, but Gamora's excited voice made everyone aware of something unusual. Quill walked forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Gamora?"
Although Thanos slapped Groot to death, Groot left behind a seed of life. As long as time is enough, they will see a brand new Groot. This unexpected surprise, combined with the joy of defeating Thanos, made the nervous Quill a little too proud.
Strange, Thor and others who met Quill and others on the battlefield against Thanos also came closer. They seemed to have heard something related to Thanos.
Gamora and Nebula told everyone exactly what they had discussed, and everyone present looked solemn.
But Thor still didn't take it seriously, "No matter if Thanos comes again or not, with the gods here, we are not afraid of any number of Thanos who come."
Nebula immediately corrected his thoughts, "According to Blue Star's theory, we are all intelligent life, but Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet has already entered the realm of rule-based life, and that is not yet a complete body. When he comes back with six Infinity Stones, he will be further sublimated on the basis of rule-based life. By then, I'm afraid the gods will be helpless!" Everyone present looked grim, their greatest reliance was the gods. If the gods couldn't stop Thanos, how would they deal with it?
"Go back to Blue Star quickly and tell Professor Lin Feng to be prepared." Strange said.
Stark looked at the Guardians of the Galaxy and said, "Guys, you're great! If you're free in the future, you're welcome to visit Blue Star. I'll welcome you." With that, he stepped on the donut without looking back, ready to return to Blue Star.
Amidst the ruins, Helmut stared at the ruins with sadness in his eyes.
He is over 30 years old, has a lively and lovely son, a beautiful wife, and a healthy father. The family is harmonious, and although life is a little difficult, they always believe that tomorrow will be better.
Recently, the earth has frequently encountered major crises, but fortunately the gods came and saved all living beings. The Helmut family was very grateful for this, and they were thinking about when they could go to China in person to express their gratitude to the gods.
However, the appearance of Thanos' vanguard shattered his beautiful vision.
Under the ruins, except for him, all his family members were buried and their lives came to an abrupt end. It took him two days to dig out his father.
When illusions are shattered, the hope in people's hearts will turn into intense hatred. Helmut's face was calm, but the flame of revenge was flashing in his eyes.
In Bucharest, Romania, an ordinary town, the news media is looking for a hero who will stand up in times of crisis and fight against Thanos' vanguard with guns in hand.
He was a big man, and although his face looked a little haggard, he was very agile and saved many passers-by.
When Ultron's robot army arrived, he cooperated with the robot army tacitly and launched a counterattack quickly.
After the battle, the hero left quietly. People searched everywhere for him but to no avail. They had to rely on the power of the news media to try to find this unsung hero.
Bucky read the newspaper reports about Romania's unsung heroes and felt deeply moved.
Although he stepped forward in times of crisis, he did not claim the reward offered by the government.
As a former Hydra killer, he is well aware of the gravity of his sins.
Therefore, he resolved to atone for his sins as much as possible and take responsibility for his crimes during his lifetime.
Although he stepped forward in the crisis, he would not have been able to save so many people if the robot army had not arrived in time and the gods had not appeared to clean up those dangerous creatures.
He felt that he was unworthy of the honor, so he never claimed the reward.
He was always worried that the activation program set by Hydra in his mind was still lurking, and could take away his sanity at any time, turning him into that cold-blooded killer again.
He had woken up countless times in the middle of the night, dreaming that he was slaughtering innocent civilians. Although the Hydra organization had been destroyed, there were still stubborn elements hiding in the world.
To prevent being used again, Buggy decided to go to China to visit the legendary god.
This Vanguard crisis allowed him to personally feel the power of God, which gave him the confidence to bid farewell to Hydra and his past self once and for all.
At the . Capitol, government spokesmen are promoting a woman named Carol.
She descended from the sky at the critical moment and single-handedly blocked the Vanguard's attack.
Subsequently, a large army of robots arrived and launched a self-defense counterattack in coordination with the US army.
Her heroic performance on the battlefield led the US government to shape her into a hero to fight against the Chinese gods.
They believed that Carol had the ability and obligation to help them fight against the Chinese gods.
Rogers attended the press conference as a representative of the military.
"Ms. Carol completed the counterattack against the Vanguard alone, and was even able to annihilate those hateful invaders. She was sent by God to save our country, which was something we could not imagine before. At the critical moment, the gods of China were not reliable, and only our country could save itself. Carol's heroic deeds inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of our American soldiers and enabled us to launch a counterattack."
The US press spokesperson gave an impassioned speech in front of major media, trying to portray Carol as a hero who saved the United States alone. She is a woman, which made the whole country of the United States, where feminism is prevalent, cheer.
However, amidst the cheers, only Carol, who was pushed onto the heroic stage, felt confused.
She didn't understand why these people were so excited, nor did she know why she appeared on the stage of this ignorant masses.
Her captain told her it was her duty to protect the Earth, and she had done that.
Fighting the Struans is also her mission, and she is searching.
The captain also told her that the Chinese gods might be the technological products of the Stru people.
One of her missions this time is to help the US government fight against the Stru people.
Rogers looked at the press spokesperson who was dancing with excitement and felt speechless and worried.
In order to create this heroic image, the US government did its best to erase the contributions of others and ignored the assistance of the robot army.
And these robot armies are helping them with post-war reconstruction.
At the same time, they also ignored the root cause of the problem that God had stepped in to solve, and even used the performance of the US military as a stepping stone to raise Carol's value.
