The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 377 376. There Won’t Be a Next Time
Liu Qi never could have imagined that the Infinity Stones he had been dreaming of would appear in such a sloppy way.

And it was thrown out by collectors like garbage.

In fact, the Guardians of the Galaxy did not expect this to happen.

At that moment, Star-Lord even began to doubt whether the veteran collector of the universe opposite him had some kind of shameful blood relationship with him?
Otherwise, how can one explain why the other party so decisively "threw" such a precious Infinity Stone to oneself?

Fortunately, the subsequent appearance of Thanos gave a reasonable explanation for all this.

Unable to bear the annoyance, the Collector chose to throw the hot potato of the Reality Gem to the United Government's advance fleet cruising nearby.

Only by restraining this guy Thanos can there be hope of saving his collection library, which has already suffered heavy losses.

This time, the collector did not dare to keep it to himself, for fear that Thanos might have other strange detection methods.

The only option is to project the true Reality Stone outside the realm of nothingness.

The effect is also unexpectedly obvious.

Thanos immediately ignored the Collector hiding in the Realm of Nothingness and rushed towards the Reality Stone.

Gamora, a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy who was once Thanos' adopted daughter, naturally could not forget her nightmarish adoptive father.

He shouted at the top of his lungs to remind his companions and the advance troops of the United Government who had not yet fully understood what was happening.

In order to implement the plan of "sustainable and balanced development of the universe's ecology", Thanos has been carrying out bloody massacres against countless civilized races in the current universe for many years.

Thanos is still unknown on Earth.

But in the eyes of well-informed treasure hunters and interstellar predators, he has become a devilish existence that can stop children from crying at night.

The first people to grab the Reality Stone were the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy who were driving the Predator spaceship worth 160 million Kree coins.

Even though Thanos is so powerful, Star-Lord and others still gritted their teeth and got the Reality Stone first.

Because in their eyes, it is more than just a gem.

It is an interstellar battleship that is 1682 meters long and 243 meters wide, with 11252 close-range defense firepower facilities, 112 medium- and long-range interstellar torpedo launch hatches, and 36 flagship-level main guns.

At that moment, Star-Lord told himself that he must seize this only chance in his life.

How many times in a lifetime can you encounter a big client like the United Government Vanguard?

As soon as Thanos broke free from the spatial constraints of the Realm of Invisibility, he saw that the Reality Stone, which should have belonged to him, was taken away by a shabby predator spaceship.

Angry, he immediately ordered the top-level Chitauri starship behind him to fire at the predator ship.

At the same time, a series of commands shouted by Liu Qi at the top of his lungs were heard on the communication channel of the United Government's advance fleet.

"The vanguard formation will move forward immediately. I don't care what method you use, but stop the firepower of that Chitauri warship at all costs!

All other warships, immediately, open fire freely!
Put all your firepower on that damn Chitauri warship!"

In an instant, the fleet's artificial intelligence immediately responded to the order of the advance force's supreme commander.

More than one hundred starships in the front row immediately turned on their energy shields at full power, using their hulls to block the firepower range of the Chitauri warships.

The remaining 800-odd interstellar battleships opened fire at full capacity almost at the same time.

All weapons and ammunition within the range were poured out at an extremely fast speed.

God knows whether that reality gem is hard or fragile.

Liu Qi was afraid that it would fall apart under the bombardment of the Chitauri warships.

He had to consider the worst possible outcome.

Thanos had just given the order to open fire, and in the blink of an eye he noticed a dazzling light flashing in the surrounding universe and starry sky.

The United Government's advance fleet opened fire at full power, instantly illuminating the dark and desolate asteroid debris belt with brilliant light.

Having experienced countless battles and rising from the flames of war, Thanos has an extremely keen sense of danger.

The Chitauri warship behind him immediately switched from attack to defense.

The force field shield is turned on at full power, ready to meet the upcoming cluster artillery fire.

As a flagship battleship chosen by Thanos, its advancement and power are undoubtedly beyond doubt.

The Chitauri gave their all to build this powerful battleship for Thanos.

However, even so, at full power, it still could not withstand the firepower of hundreds of enemy ships.

The upper limit of the force field shield's defensive firepower was penetrated almost instantly.

Even if Thanos used the power of the Space Stone to reinforce the defense of the airspace near the Chitauri battleship behind him at the space domain level.

But it is just a drop in the bucket.

After only holding out for more than ten seconds, this most advanced warship of the Chitauri was destroyed in the explosion.

Only Thanos was left standing alone in front of it.

Thanos, filled with rage, flashed.

After activating the power of the Space Stone, it rushed towards the fleeing Guardians of the Galaxy spaceship in the blink of an eye.

Dozens of advance warships immediately blocked Thanos' pursuit.

Thanos was extremely angry when he found out that he was being "intercepted", and he rammed into an advance battleship without caring about anything.

The energy shield cannot stop the flesh of carbon-based creatures, the hull of this battleship made of tungsten steel alloy.

For Thanos, who has the power gem, it is not much stronger than a cardboard box.

The torn hull was still shaking rhythmically.

A large number of broken items and even crew members were "sucked" out of the warship due to the drastic pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ship.

Before the surrounding warships could launch rescue operations, larger and wider cracks appeared inside the hull.

Then it spread to the entire battleship.

Relying on his strength and the power of the Space Stone, Thanos tore the starship apart with his bare hands.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the surrounding warships immediately scattered to avoid becoming the next target.

After dealing with the Chitauri battleship, the United Government's advance fleet began to direct its firepower towards Thanos.

Faced with more and more concentrated firepower, even Thanos, who was able to "tear apart a battleship with his body", felt increasingly exhausted.

More power of the Infinity Gems had to be used to resist enemy fire attacks.

This time when Thanos came to trade with the Collector, he only brought one battleship.

On the one hand, too many warships may cause dissatisfaction among collectors.

After all, Thanos's forces don't have a good reputation.

God knows if the collectors will see them as a threat.

On the other hand, with the power and the blessing of the Space Stone, Thanos has strong confidence in his own strength.

Even the Runner, a member of the Universe Elders, was defeated by him. Who else has the qualifications to stop him?

But he could never have imagined that the moment he stepped out of the realm of nothingness, he would be faced with nearly a thousand fully armed United Government flagships and sub-flagship interstellar battleships.

This kind of large-scale cluster of warships often only appears during interstellar civilization race wars.

It would not be easy to use manpower to fight against an organized interstellar battleship, even with the power of the Infinity Stones.

In the short time that Thanos destroyed the United Government's starship.

The predator ship that took the Reality Gem has long since disappeared.

If you want to take back the gems, perhaps you have to deal with the nearly a thousand warships in this airspace?
After realizing that it was impossible to do anything, Thanos no longer hesitated and activated the power of the gems to teleport to a safe area before the next wave of battleship cluster firepower arrived.

All that was left at the scene was a devastated battlefield.

In the realm of nothingness, runners are still destroying all the collections they see.

Without Thanos's restraint, the angry Collector also started fighting with the Runner.

The two cosmic elders who have lived for billions of years have no time to care about the fleet outside.

Without the active invitation of collectors, it is extremely difficult to enter the realm of knowledge by other means.

In fact, the commander of the advance army, Liu Qi, was not prepared to deal with the elders of the universe at all.

The key is to get the real gems.

After Thanos left, Liu Qi was so tense that he didn't dare to relax at all.

This Infinity Gem from another dimension possesses power that is close to the rules of the dimension.

Who knows if that purple-skinned bald guy will appear in front of him with thousands or tens of thousands of Chitauri warships in the next second?
After getting the Reality Stone from Star-Lord, Liu Qi felt more and more uneasy.

He immediately ordered the fleet to return at full speed with only one goal, to return to the Black Robe Plane under the control of the United Government as quickly as possible.

Only under the protection of the main force of the United Government Army can Liu Qi, who holds the Reality Gem, feel safe.

There is no way, we can only blame the power displayed by Thanos, which is really terrifying.

Tear apart a flagship starship with bare hands.

To be honest, a few of the top chosen ones under the coalition government may be able to do it.

But at the same time, it can withstand the firepower of nearly a thousand interstellar battleships and still have the energy to escape.

Liu Qi racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone else.

He was extremely grateful that he led the fleet here.

Thanos, who possesses two Infinity Stones, is already so perverted.

Once Thanos got the Reality Stone, Liu Qi even worried whether the advance fleet could escape unscathed from the enemy.

To ensure the safety of strategic items such as the Reality Gems.

The advance fleet did not stop and immediately began its return journey.

Only the Guardians of the Galaxy were left, because their Predator spacecraft's power and energy system were too shabby and there was no way they could catch up with the speed of the advance fleet.

Considering that the main mission now is to escort the Reality Stone, the advance force has no time to train the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy on battleship operation knowledge.

It is even more impossible to let one's own crew "work" for the other side.

Therefore, Liu Qi promised to delay the payment of the promised reward: a sub-flagship interstellar battleship.

"So, we're being IOUed?"

Looking at the tail flame left in the distance before the advance fleet entered superluminal cruise state.

Rocket Raccoon spread his hands and asked his teammates.

"Didn't they say we should go to Earth to settle the accounts?

We will be arranged to undergo training when the time comes. That is a super battleship that can carry more than 10,000 crew members!
We certainly can't operate such a large battleship with just a few of us."

"Do we still have to recruit people from outside?"

"No poke! The name of the Guardians of the Galaxy will resound throughout the universe from now on!"

"Wake up, we don't have extra money to hire people. Even the fuel for this trip is paid on credit."

“We can recruit people from other predator teams or space pirates.

These guys are easy to fool, as long as they have enough drinks, they don’t need to be paid at all.”

"Let those scum of society board our warship?
Who knows, when you wake up, you might find that the entire battleship has been dismantled and sold!

We need to recruit some reliable crew members, at least not from the plunderers and space pirates. "

"If I remember correctly, we are also plunderers, interstellar pirates...scum of society?"

"The key question now is how to raise the money to recruit people?"

The Guardians of the Galaxy argued for a long time and finally found out that the key to the problem was lack of money.

"Wait, look what's that in front!"

After the United Government's advance fleet left, the airspace became as empty as usual.

All that remained were the remains of the battlefield left over from the previous battle.

The wreckage of a Chitauri battleship and a United Government interstellar battleship were floating scattered in the starry sky.

"We are the Guardians of the Galaxy, how can we pick up trash?
That's something only interstellar scavengers would do, it's so embarrassing.

I would rather drive a spaceship to rob a group of interstellar pirates..."

Rocket Raccoon grumbled.

However, except for the tree man Groot who occasionally echoed "Groot", everyone else completely ignored his opinion.

At this tense time point, Thanos' forces, the United Government, and the forces of Earth civilization are on the verge of a conflict.

The Guardians of the Galaxy have begun their "junk man" time.

There's no time to worry about little things related to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Under the highly intense supervision of Commander Liu Qi, the advance army returned to the plane channel transmission node near the alien earth not long after.

He simply communicated with the Avengers and representatives of various forces of human civilization on Earth, informing them that the Reality Stone had been controlled by the United Government.

Liu Qi then personally escorted the Reality Gem to the Black Robe Plane.

Considering the importance of the Reality Gem and the basic principle of "don't put all your eggs in one basket".

After the Reality Gem was handed over to the Dragon Flame Interstellar Corps for escort, it was sent to the Starship Troopers plane, a planet specially planned by the United Government for the storage of the Reality Gem.

The Mind Gem is stored in the Black Robe Plane.

The Reality Stone is stored in the Starship Troopers dimension.

If we don't take into account that these people and objects from other dimensions are likely to be used by Thanos' forces and become their teleportation anchors.

The Coalition even considered storing them in the Source Plane.

Based on various safety considerations, we finally chose a more reliable solution.

The vast majority of the main forces of the United Government Army were also transferred to the Starship Troopers plane and the Black Robe plane.

The coalition government is ready for another plane invasion.

Just as the United Government was conducting experimental research on the Reality Gem.

Thanos, who is far away on the alien planet Titan, has begun to gather his army.

This was the third time in a row that he had suffered defeat at the hands of the coalition government.

"There won't be a next time."

After reviewing the vast army he had recruited from all over the universe, enough to cover the entire planet Titan.

Thanos officially declared war on the United Government.
