Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Fate

There was once a very prosperous planet here called Xandar.

It was once a huge economic and trade center, and was quite famous in several nearby star systems.

Because on Xandar, there is a very powerful legion called the Nova Legion.

The Nova Corps possesses extremely advanced technology and also has a very strong ability to conduct joint operations. Not long ago, they even defeated Ronan, the ruler of the invading Kree Empire.

Despite the intervention of the Guardians of the Galaxy, that battle still made the Nova Corps famous.

After all, the Kree Empire itself is a very powerful interstellar hegemon.

In particular, many people who are unfamiliar with the Guardians of the Galaxy or have not witnessed that battle will not hesitate to attribute this achievement to the Nova Corps.

In a short time, Xandar became even more prosperous.

However, at this moment, the once prosperous planet Xandar has been completely reduced to ruins.

The once towering buildings are now all reduced to rubble.

The massive economic and trade center was flattened by some strange force; the Nova Corps' command center also seemed to have been destroyed by some attack; and the bustling streets were now almost deserted.

Oh no, if those corpses can be considered "people," then there are quite a few "people" among them.

At this moment, many half-human, half-insect mercenaries of Zakaran are enjoying the post-war merriment amidst the ruins.

This is their feast!

Some of the extremely hungry Sakaran mercenaries lay on the ground, burying themselves in the bodies beneath them as they feasted.

Some were more elegant, tearing off an arm or a plump thigh from a corpse and sitting on the ground to savor it slowly.

Those who had already been served were then ordered by the squad leader to move the bodies to the nearby space landing ship.

These corpses were their spoils of war.

They would transport them back to their home planet, present them to their queen, and even have children born there.

In stark contrast to the savagery of the Zakaran mercenaries was the Chitauri army on the other side.

Although they looked similar to the Sakaran mercenaries, they displayed strict military discipline at this moment.

One by one, the Chitauri infantrymen, carrying energy rifles, lined up under the guidance of their officers and walked onto the open deck beneath the Leviathan, returning to their inner compartments.

One after another, Chitauri flying vehicles flew orderly across the sky, heading towards outer space, heading back to the Chitauri mothership that was parked in near-Earth orbit around Xandar.

There were also some Chitauri heavy landing infantry, in groups of several, with two of them leading a giant Chitauri ape.

The ruins at the highest point below were once the command center of the Xandar Nova Corps.

At this moment, an exceptionally burly figure sat casually in the ruins of the Nova Corps command center. He had a square face, a broad nose, and a wide chin that looked like it had been slashed with a knife. His purple face was expressionless.

Queen Adora of Xandar knelt before this man, her hair disheveled, her face ashen, her clothes tattered, revealing glimpses of her private parts.

Her once meticulously groomed appearance now resembled that of a beggar wandering the universe.

"Our planet Xandar has no grudges against you, so why did you suddenly attack us!" Adora shouted hoarsely.

The ruins around her were littered with corpses.

Among them were the corpses of Nova Corps soldiers in uniform, the corpses of Xandar civilians in ordinary clothes, and even many alien travelers from other planets who had come to Xandar for tourism.

However, he doesn't care about any of that.

For him, any life is on his elimination list.

Because he is Thanos!

Chapter 184 The Beginning of Infinite War

Thanos held his enormous right hand in front of him, with a small sphere between two fingers.

The sphere appears to be hollow, but strangely, nothing inside can be seen.

"Ah!"

Thanos suddenly gave a contemptuous laugh, then tightened his two fingers slightly.

ka ka ka-

The Orb of the Universe, which had once been offered a high bounty, was ruthlessly crushed by Thanos, revealing a purple gem inside.

This gem is more beautiful than any other gem in the world, radiating a mysterious energy that seems to beckon others to touch it.

Upon seeing the gem, Adora seemed to understand something.

This is a Power Stone!

Not long ago, Ronan, the new leader of the Kree Empire, attacked Xandar. In the end, after a fierce battle, and even the Nova Corps suffered heavy losses, Ronan was finally defeated by the Guardians of the Galaxy's "magical dance".

This Power Stone was taken from Ronan's hammer.

Later, the Guardians of the Galaxy resealed the Power Stone back into the Orb and entrusted it to the Nova Corps for protection.

Thanos held the Power Stone in his hand and examined it for a moment, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Then he extended his left hand.

Adora then noticed that Thanos was wearing a metal glove on his left hand.

Thanos brought the Power Stone close to a groove on the gauntlet.

The Power Stone was directly absorbed into that groove.

Nourishes—

It was as if an electric current emanated from the Infinity Gauntlet, instantly spreading throughout Thanos's entire body.

Thanos couldn't help but stand up and tilt his head back slightly.

Only after he had adapted to this power did he lower his head again, looking down at Adora: "Queen of the Xandarians, who do you think Ronan was sent by? How do you think he mobilized that army?"

Adora's eyes widened suddenly: "You, it was you!"

"Ha! That's right, it's me!" Thanos stepped forward, stretched out his huge hand, and perfectly grasped Adora's head in his palm. "You shouldn't have stopped me from collecting the Infinity Stones, Queen of the Xandarians!"

Adora's eyes widened in disbelief. Thanos's hand contained immense power; just by gripping her head, she felt as if her skull was about to be crushed.

But she still mustered her strength and roared, "Thanos, your plot will not succeed! My child will stand with those who have reason to stop you!"

"I'll be waiting!" Thanos sneered, and slightly tightened his grip.

Bang!

Adora's head exploded like a watermelon.

Thanos casually tossed Adora's corpse, whose head had been turned into a pile of mud, aside, stood up, and said, "Let's go, we're going to the Void!"

"Yes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the great Thanos!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Eat, eat, eat! I want to eat!"

A deafening roar of shouts immediately erupted from all around.

The cries of these members of the dark cult were so loud that they seemed to pierce the heavens.

-

Meanwhile, somewhere only a few astronomical units away from Xandar.

A boy, about the same age as Peter, was looking at Xandar through the porthole of the spaceship.

Tears streamed down his face.

Pfft!

The boy knelt on the ground: "Mother, I, Richard Ryder, swear that I will kill Thanos and avenge the Xandars!"

After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the pilot's seat of the spaceship.

He's going to Asgard!

I've heard that Asgard is the realm of the gods, inhabited by Odin, the king of the gods. Perhaps he could ask Odin for help. Only then could he have the means to fight Thanos head-on!

-

a few days later.

Thanos led his dark army to the Void.

This is a planet formed from the severed heads of ancient gods in the universe. It is the size of a typical asteroid, hollow inside, and uniquely blessed.

Therefore, after many years of development, a city was formed within it.

This city is actually more like a "cosmic black market".

Some scavengers who pan for gold on junk planets, as well as space bandits who acquire their spoils through shady means, all come here to trade.

As a result, it can get quite chaotic here at times.

But there was order within the chaos.
