Chapter 52 [Treasure: Thanos's Crucible]

Curio?

Su Ze's eyes moved slightly, and his thoughts became active.

After [Spirit] and [Artifacts], this is the third special item he has come into contact with.

Su Ze originally thought that there were only two kinds of special items provided to him by the bloody text. Now it seems that his research on this kind of energy is far from enough. At least he still hasn't figured out how many different categories there are.

The blood-colored words were still changing, and the energy like smoke surged out, forming a translucent picture in front of Su Ze's eyes again.

【Collection】

[Rare items scattered around the world, some of them are born from the energy output of heaven and earth, and some are created with the help of special environmental factors around them. ]

[These substances often carry special effects and are rare and abnormal. As the most special items in the world, they are often sought after by many people because of their rare qualities, but very few people can discover their secrets.]

[Collect more of them, these seemingly insignificant little things can sometimes exert extremely special abilities. ]

【Treasure: Thanos’ Crucible】

[The cooking concoction created by the Titan Thanos himself, under the influence of some powerful energy, has unknowingly improved its internal structure, while also retaining some of the special energy of the six singularities during the Big Bang.]

[When using it for cooking, the energy of one of the singularities will randomly burst out to bless, improving the quality of the originally ordinary materials and granting them some special extraordinary energy. ]

[(Note): Blessing is random, and the energy itself is neither good nor evil. Its special effects cannot be determined before it is produced, so use it with caution. ]

After understanding the meaning of the bloody words in bits and pieces, Su Ze finally understood the specific function of the thing in his hand.

To put it simply, this crucible, as the name suggests, is the thing that Thanos usually uses to eat. However, because it is too close to the Infinity Stones, it was affected by the Infinity Stones during cooking, so it evolved into a special [treasure].

This also confirms the description of [Treasures] in the bloody text - it is a special substance that can be created by special environment, and the way it is created seems impossible to replicate artificially.

Before seeing the description about the curios, Su Ze was still wondering, these special items clearly already had the category of [artifacts], so why was there an additional category of [curios]?

Now Su Ze understood that the birth of [artifacts] had nothing to do with environmental factors. Those objects were born into the world based on the strong obsession of their users.

However, [curios] are different. Even without the user's obsession, some special environmental factors alone can give these seemingly ordinary things some special abilities.

The Thanos's Crucible in his hand is one of them. This small rice pot affected by the energy of the Infinity Gems has now become an extraordinary item in his hands.

I just don’t know what kind of special effect the food cooked in this rice cooker will have.

Putting the light machine gun on his back, Su Ze let out a sigh of relief.

Overall, the gains from this operation were extremely rich.

Not only did he obtain the legendary spirit of Thanos, but now he even got a [rare treasure] back. In a sense, this could be considered an unexpected surprise.

But in stark contrast to Su Ze's happiness, the Avengers standing outside the cabin at this moment all had loneliness and despair on their faces.

Thor sat on the steps, Stormragef stood beside him. He lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes. In his blurred vision, there was no joy of killing his enemies at all. He now only wanted to find his family back.

But everything is irreversible. His father, mother, sister, brother, and half of his people have now completely left him. He has completely lost everything. Steve Rogers and Black Widow stood side by side on the other side. They looked up at the sky, which was completely different from the earth, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in their hearts.

Thanos succeeded.

Just like before, they were defeated again.

Although everyone succeeded in killing Thanos, Thanos had anticipated this and destroyed the Infinity Stones in advance, putting an end to it all.

It is undeniable that they lost, and lost again, and they lost particularly badly.

After an unknown amount of time of silence, Steve Rogers let out a deep sigh.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here."

After hearing the captain's voice, everyone who had been motionless stood up unsteadily. Who could have thought that they came here with the determination to die, but left in despair in the end.

No one spoke along the way. Steve Rogers walked in front, heading towards the Benatar.

Rocket Raccoon also secretly wiped away his tears at this time, rubbed them dry on his fur, then stood up and shouted into the cabin.

"Apprentice, it's time to go."

"coming."

When Su Ze heard the sound, he quickly hugged the crucible in his arms and walked out of the cabin with Rhodes.

Seeing Su Ze inexplicably walking out with a pot in his hands, Rhodes, who had originally had a gloomy expression, twitched his eyes. He looked Su Ze up and down, and finally chose to remain silent.

But Rocket is different, he tilts his head.

"What are you doing holding a pot?"

"Oh, I collected some samples. Put them in this." Su Ze had already thought of an excuse. He tilted the pot slightly and showed Rocket some bottles and jars containing Thanos' muscle tissue and blood.

Seeing this, Rocket nodded slightly, and the others also looked away, approving of Su Ze's actions and not taking the matter to heart.

On the way back to the Benatar, Suze also noticed the 'scarecrow' made of Thanos' armor from a distance in the field.

Unfortunately, Rhodes had spotted the armor in advance, and War Machine picked it up and put it on his shoulders.

Noticing this scene, Su Ze also withdrew his gaze. He knew that with his identity, he might not have the chance to take over this treasure. After all, it was Thanos' armor, and the material it was made of was obviously not comparable to the metal on Earth.

Because of this, it is not your turn to take this kind of thing.

But the good news is that Su Ze did not sense any spatial distortion on the armor, which also shows that Thanos' armor is not a special item recognized by the Bloody Text.

Perhaps this armor does not carry any obsession of its owner. After all, its owner, Thanos, has already achieved his dream and has no more pursuits.
