Marvel Person: You call this a sorcerer?

Chapter 242 Kang the Immortal's Proposal

On a somewhat desolate planet.

Thanos sat on his throne, looking at the man before him who claimed to be from the future.

From his appearance, he was just an ordinary adult male, not very tall and not particularly strong.

There were no technological items on him at all.

However, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes that made Thanos somewhat uncomfortable.

That's right, this person is Kang the Conqueror.

Thanos, one of the Eternals of Titan.

"Because he proposed eliminating half of Titan's population to alleviate Titan's energy crisis, he was not tolerated by Titan's people."

"Later, after the Titan crisis broke out, he vowed to collect the Infinity Stones and then use their power to wipe out half the population of the universe."

Am I right?

Conqueror Kang… no, it should be Immortal Kang.

That's right, this Kang is an immortal being who had already attained eternal life before the multiverse was unified by the so-called divine timeline.

Until the sacred timeline was broken and the multiverse reappeared, and every conqueror Kang began to venture out into the world, he also became one of the three most important people in the Council.

"Most life in the universe doesn't know how to cherish it."

"They won't understand that the explosive growth of the population will only lead them to extinction."

"So, since they don't want to face this harsh reality, let me help them choose."

Thanos did not deny Kang's point of view; in fact, he went along with him and stated his own goal.

"But what I'm more curious about is how you found out about this."

Thanos considered the people around him, but the idea was quickly rejected.

Because only he knew this news.

The others were tasked with collecting the six Infinity Stones from various parts of the universe.

As for what they are going to do, they couldn't possibly know.

"I've said before that I come from a much more distant future."

"Therefore, I see your fate very clearly."

The immortal Kang smiled, appearing harmless.

But how could someone who possesses eternal life be a weak person?

Eternal life only means that he has a very long lifespan, but he will still die if he is killed.

Over such a long period of time, he clearly possessed even more terrifying power.

"Since you know what I call destiny, you must also know whether I succeeded in the end, right?"

Thanos did not completely believe Kang's words.

Although the other party revealed his ultimate goal and even his origins.

However, this does not mean that the other party's identity is real.

"Some of you succeeded, some of you failed."

"And some of you, you succeeded first, and then the outcome was reversed by a group of superheroes on Earth."

"Perhaps I don't know all your endings, but I do know what will become of the person I see before me."

Kang, the immortal being, spoke calmly and unhurriedly, as if he knew all of Thanos's choices and his fate.

But these words were basically useless to Thanos, an ambitious man.

After all, it's almost impossible to change his mind.

"I'm not here to stop your plans, nor do I want to change your grand ideals."

"I just want you to help me get rid of someone."

"And in return, I will tell you the location of all the Infinity Stones."

The immortal Kang offered what he considered to be the most tempting offer.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Thanos.

"The terms are good, and they're really tempting to me."

Thanos smiled.

He supported himself on his right leg and slowly rose from the throne, looking down at the human-like male creature before him.

In the other person's eyes, he saw a long-lost contempt.

Although the opponent was well hidden, Thanos still managed to detect it.

For Kang, an immortal being, Thanos, as a loser, was naturally not worth taking seriously.

More importantly, during the conquest of various multiverses by all the Kangas, some of them naturally encountered Thanos.

Those Thanos who survived were all among those who successfully destroyed the world.

Some, like Thanos of Universe 616, retired to the countryside and lived a life of seclusion after completing their grand plans.

Others, however, kept the six Infinity Stones and claimed them for themselves, successfully becoming the rulers of the universe.

There were even a few Thanos who gained even greater power.

For example, the favor of the goddess of death.

Not only did he gain immortality, but he also firmly secured his position as the overlord of the universe.

However, without exception, all of these Thanos were destroyed by the conquerors of various parallel universes.

Therefore, it's normal for him to look down on Thanos.

However, he underestimated the arrogant Thanos.

"But I'm sorry, I don't need your help."

"The Infinity Stones, I can get them if I want them."

Thanos's voice exuded an undeniable domineering aura.

Just like his name suggests.

The immortal Kang narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected that Thanos would actually say no to the temptation of the Infinity Stones.

He even looked at me with the same contempt.

It was as if I were looking at a rat in a sewer.

That look in his eyes…

Kang, an immortal who has lived for many years, naturally wouldn't be angered by such a small glance.

He smiled, seemingly having gained a new understanding of Thanos.

"It seems you truly are a king-like figure."

The immortal Kang nodded, and the disdain in his eyes was gone.

Thanos glanced at him but didn't reply.

Please allow me to apologize for my previous behavior.

"I just want to know if you would really give everything for the ideals in your heart."

"After all, among each of you in every parallel world, there will always be a few who will suddenly realize the truth."

"At the last moment before the plan was completed, they gave up the victory that was within their grasp and ultimately chose another path."

The immortal Kang bowed slightly, as if he were truly apologizing for his previous actions.

Thanos didn't speak, but slowly sat down.

The tense atmosphere that had started because he stood up gradually eased.

He seemed to want to hear more about what the other person had to say.

This is naturally the outcome that the immortal Kang desired.

"I will help you obtain the Infinity Stones and complete your plan."

"Of course, I have my own purpose, but not now, but in the more distant future."

After speaking, Kang the Conqueror bowed his head again to express his respect.

Everything was as if it had never happened.

Finally, after a long silence, Thanos spoke again.

Tell me your plans.

When the immortal Kang heard these words, a smile bloomed on his face once again.

Does Thanos believe him?

The answer is definitely "no".

Does he believe in Thanos?

The answer is also "no".

But what does it matter?

From the very beginning, the two of them were merely using each other.

So-called alliances are nothing more than tools used to satisfy the interests of both sides.

As long as their goals are temporarily aligned, does anything else matter?
