I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Alliance headquarters.

Large conference room.

In front of Doctor Strange, Iron Man asked Qin Yao:
"We know that Thanos' ultimate goal is to destroy half of all life by collecting the six Infinity Stones, so why can't we destroy the Infinity Stones to completely shatter his fantasy?"

Qin Yao calmly asked, "Which one should we destroy?"

Iron Man said, "You seem to have two in your hand."

“These two gems were entrusted to me by a Grandmaster. They are not mine. I can only use them, not dispose of them,” Qin Yao said.

Iron Man said, "Perhaps we can try to persuade the Grandmaster?"

"Knock knock knock." Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

Iron Man let out a soft breath and turned around, saying, "Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Spider-Man pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Stark, this young lady is looking for Thor."

The three people inside all looked at Gamora, causing her to feel a sudden tightness in her chest. She said softly, "Mr. Thor, could you come out for a moment?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Come in, you can ask me any questions you have in front of the other people. I have nothing to hide."

Gamora paused slightly, but ultimately went inside.

"I'd like to know why you know so much about Thanos. Did you have some kind of contact with him before?"

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "I just have prophetic abilities, which is similar to Stephen's."

"Much worse."

Stephen couldn't help but say, "All I can see are countless possibilities, while you see the future!"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "They can all be seen, but the accuracy is different."

Gamora: "..."

"Do you have any other questions?" Qin Yao pressed.

“In the future you see, have we won?” Gamora asked.

"I can see the future, but I can't see all of the future at all times; there's a cooldown period."

Qin Yao explained, "In the future I saw last time, Thanos succeeded, which is the main reason why I had to get deeply involved and even lead the counterattack."

Gamora: "..."

Excuse me, may I bother you?

In the silence, the knocking sounded again.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wanda push open the glass door, with Vision standing calmly and quietly beside her.

"What is it?" Qin Yao nodded slightly and asked calmly.

“I would like to ask if any of you have a way to separate the Mind Stone from Vision?” Wanda asked.

After the battle in Scotland, she realized that the Mind Stone would do more harm than good to Vision. If it wasn't removed soon, Vision would likely become a sitting duck for the enemy in the upcoming battles.

After a moment of silence, everyone except Qin Yao looked at Iron Man.

Iron Man shrugged: "Sorry, I can't help it."

Then, he turned to the prophet Saul and asked, "And you?"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qin Yao slowly said, "If there is any organization on Earth that can do this, it must be Wakanda."

Without hesitation, Wanda said, "I'll take Vision to Wakanda right away."

"It's too dangerous for you two to go."

Qin Yao turned to Iron Man and suggested, "Let's call a meeting. We need to work out the next mission plan."

Not long after.

Dr. Banner, Captain America, and other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy gathered in the conference room, all looking at Qin Yao standing at the long table.

Qin Yao's gaze swept over them as well, and he slowly spoke: "Now we need someone to escort Wanda and Vision to Wakanda to separate the Mind Stone. Who among you is willing to take on the escort mission?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, when Captain America suddenly raised his hand and asked, "I'd like to ask, why did you do this?"

Wanda responded, "Because I don't want Vision to become a sitting duck for the enemy."

Captain America said, "Then why don't we take the initiative? For example, before Thanos can react, we can go straight to his lair and catch him off guard."

"Because his legions are not in their home base, and even more so because he no longer has a home base."

Qin Yao said, "In fact, since the start of the cosmic massacre, he and his fleet have become cosmic wanderers."

Captain America: "..."

In fact, his proposal was intended to take the initiative, but it failed due to insufficient intelligence.

Iron Man suddenly asked, "Vision, if the Mind Stone were to be separated, would you be willing to destroy it?"

“I do, Mr. Stark,” Vision said without hesitation.

Iron Man let out a long breath and turned to Wanda, saying, "Once they separate, you must destroy the Mind Stone immediately to nip this catastrophe in the bud."

Wanda nodded: "I'm fine."

"So, getting back to the point, who's willing to escort them to Wakanda?" Iron Man asked.

Wanda suddenly looked at Qin Yao and pleaded, "Could you escort us there?"

The battle on the streets of Edinburgh left her with a deep impression of the might of this Lord Thor.

If the other party could escort them there, she felt that even if Thanos came, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

Qin Yao shook his head: "I can't go."

"Why?" Wanda asked.

"Because I have more important things to do!" Qin Yao said.

Iron Man couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"

"Find the Soul Stone before Thanos!" Qin Yao said with a smile.

Gamora was stunned.

Judging from these words, the other party knows where the Soul Gem is?
Realizing this, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Thor, do you know where the Soul Stone is?"

"know."

Qin Yao looked into her eyes and said meaningfully, "If Thanos contacts you again and threatens you in various ways to reveal the whereabouts of the Soul Stone, I hope you can stall for time. In other words, I hope we can successfully obtain the Soul Stone without Thanos interfering."

Gamora was shocked and exclaimed, "How did you know I knew the location of the Soul Stone?"

“I’ve already said it, because I am a prophet,” Qin Yao said.

Gamora: "..."

Iron Man asked, "Thor, who do you want to take with you on your journey?"

Qin Yao looked at Doctor Strange without hesitation, a smile appearing on his face.

Doctor Strange shrugged and sighed, "I knew it would turn out this way."

“Then the rest of us will escort Vision and the others to Wakanda,” Captain America said.

Iron Man nodded slightly: "You take your men, I'll stay and guard New York..."

a few days later.

Valkyrie piloted a spaceship, carrying Qin Yao, Uncle Nine, Doctor Strange, and others to Vormir.

The moment the hatch opened, a ground dominated by black and red, resembling a wasteland, immediately came into view...

"The Soul Stone is in such a barren place?" Doctor Strange raised an eyebrow. Qin Yao nodded, then suddenly sensed a ball of energy rapidly approaching. Looking to the side, he saw a figure in black robes riding the wind, the hem of his robes fluttering in the breeze, making a rather imposing entrance.

However, when it came close, the red skull face completely destroyed the aura of the powerful figure it had just displayed, making it seem like a monkey wearing a crown.

"Welcome, Odin, Lord of Asgard," the Red Skull said in a hoarse voice as he slowly landed on the ground.

Uncle Nine was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the other party regarded him as the core of the team, and said with a smile, "You should welcome Thor first."

Red Skull: "?"

After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Welcome to all of you, Thor, Stephen, and... Valkyrie."

Valkyrie exclaimed in astonishment, "You actually know me?"

In her opinion, it wasn't surprising that this strange guy knew the other three, but it was amazing that he knew his own name.

The Red Skull said calmly, "I am cursed to know everyone who comes here."

"Are you the guardian of the Soul Stone?" Doctor Strange asked suddenly, a thought striking him.

"Yes."

Red Skull said, "You should know that the price to obtain the Soul Stone is extremely high. Who among you is willing to make such a sacrifice?"

"What sacrifice?" Valkyrie asked.

"Come with me."

The red skull floated along, leading them slowly up a mountain peak, through a stone gate, and stopping before a bottomless cliff.

"Could the Soul Stone be at the bottom of the cliff?" Doctor Strange asked.

Red Skull nodded: "That's right, it's at the bottom of the cliff, but if you jump down to look for it, you definitely won't find it."

Among the Infinity Stones, the Soul Stone is quite special; it can be said that it not only possesses some independent consciousness but also a certain degree of intelligence.

It has no owner; only by understanding its existence can one acquire it.

"Understand? How do you understand?" Valkyrie asked.

Red Skull said, "Sacrifice! This is the only way to resonate with the Soul Stone."

"What are we sacrificing?" A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Doctor Strange's heart.

"To obtain the Soul Stone, one must lose a loved one. A soul must be exchanged for the stone's birth," said the Red Skull.

Everyone: "..."

In their silence, Red Skull suddenly pointed at Qin Yao, then at Uncle Nine: "The will of the gem tells me that if you push him off the cliff yourself, the sacrificial ritual will be completed."

Qin Yao asked, "What if I choose to refuse?"

“Then the Soul Gem will also refuse you,” Red Skull said.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "You've obviously misunderstood something. We're here to seize treasures, not to beg for them."

Red Skull shook his head: "No one can force the will of the Infinity Stones."

"What if I had two Infinity Stones?"

Qin Yao spread his hands, and the Space Stone appeared in his left palm, while the Reality Stone appeared in his right palm.

Red Skull: "..."

"Wait for me to come back." Qin Yao suddenly gripped the two gems tightly, turned around and said to the others.

"Be careful, and always put your own safety first," Uncle Nine cautioned.

Qin Yao nodded slightly, took a leap, and flew straight down the cliff.

During this rapid descent, he silently activated the power of the two gems, causing the surrounding space and reality to distort. This resulted in him not falling to the bottom of the cliff, but landing in a place resembling a mirror lake.

Looking around, all I could see was water beneath my feet, but above me was not the sky, but endless dark clouds.

A blood moon hung over the distant mountain peaks, its red light illuminating this strange and eerie world.

"Now that you have developed your own consciousness, let's have a proper talk."

Qin Yao said, "In fact, I do not want to be your master, nor do I have any intention of using you to achieve any goals."

"I'm here purely because some madman wants to collect all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half the universe's population."

There was complete silence around them, and it was unclear whether the Soul Gem hadn't heard them or simply didn't want to respond.

Qin Yao remained calm, but did not speak again. Instead, he released his divine sense, opened his Heavenly Eye, and continuously scanned the world, trying to sense the exact location of the Soul Gem.

Unfortunately.

There seemed to be no end in any direction here. Even though he had scanned for thousands of miles, he still couldn't see any sign of it ending.

at the same time.

Gamora, who had chosen to stay at the Avengers headquarters and was resting on her bed, was suddenly awakened by the sound of shattering glass. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw something resembling a grenade roll to her feet and suddenly emit a dazzling purple light, turning the entire room into a space that resembled a virtual world.

outside the window.

On the spaceship.

Having achieved his goal, Proxima Centauri, who was standing at the hatch, immediately closed the hatch and piloted the spaceship, quickly disappearing into the night.

inside the room.

Gamora continued searching for the sphere, trying to break free from this strange state, until a familiar voice sounded behind her:
"Stop looking, let's talk first."

Gamora's heart skipped a beat. She slowly turned around and gazed at the blue figure formed from data: "What do you want to talk about?"

Thanos waved his hand, and a blue screen appeared in the room. On the screen, a figure was suspended in mid-air by ropes, as if he had just undergone some kind of torture.

"Snapped."

As Thanos snapped his fingers, terrifying electric currents instantly appeared near the figure, jolting him awake from his slumber and causing him to scream uncontrollably.

"Stop! No!"

Gamora felt as if her heart had been pierced by a needle, and she let out a sharp cry.

Thanos snapped his fingers again, and the electricity instantly dissipated.

“Tell me who killed Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, and Blackdwarf; don’t lie to me, you are the one I raised, I know very well what it means to lie.”

Gamora remembered Thor's instructions and then deliberately fell silent.

Thanos was patient with Gamora, but that patience was not endless.

Therefore, after fifteen minutes had passed, he snapped his fingers again, sending electricity through Nebula's body.

"Stop! I'll talk!"

Gamora, ultimately feeling sorry for her sister, cried out.

Thanos stopped the torture and sighed, "Since we're going to have to talk about it anyway, and Nebula has suffered because of it, why bother?"

Gamora's lips twitched: "As far as I know, Corvus Glaive was killed by Wanda, with a single blow."

Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf were killed by Thor, but I didn't witness the actual battle.

"Thor..."

Thanos murmured the name, his eyes lighting up slightly.

It seems that both the Space Stone and the Reality Stone are in this person's hands. If I find him, I will have completed most of my mission.

Gamora lowered her eyes and remained silent, already guessing what the other party was going to ask next.

As expected, Thanos immediately followed up with, "Where is Thor?" (End of Chapter)
