I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"He also said that if you allow them to act, we can protect Xandar without any reward."

Sonia placed the Cosmic Orb in front of Harvey and relayed what Kyle had just said.

"Rewards are still necessary, but if we reward strength, it might arouse some thoughts among other members of the Void God Cult, so let's reward them with some money instead."

"After all, Kyle spent two hundred million on this thing."

Upon hearing Sonia's words, Harvey took the Cosmic Orb and spoke.

Although Kyle didn't ask for any reward, he still wanted to show his appreciation.

"So, how much money do you think would be appropriate as a reward?"

Sonia had no objection to this, but instead inquired about the more specific amount of the reward.

"Let's make it six hundred million."

"Kyle for four hundred million, Banner for two hundred million."

Harvey considered it for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke.

He naturally knew that Kyle had bought the Orb of Destiny from Star-Lord for two hundred million.

This reward is certainly not high, but it is precisely because of this low reward that it will not cause dissatisfaction among other members of the Void God Cult after it gets out.

"Yes."

When Sonia heard that Mr. Kyle had four hundred million and Mr. Banner had two hundred million, she knew the difference was that Mr. Kyle had already paid two hundred million, so she had no objection.

Sonia immediately noted it down in her memo, intending to do it tomorrow, and for now let them enjoy the post-war pleasure.

"But Mr. Kassadin, what do you mean by saying that this is just the beginning of the changes, and that a greater catastrophe is yet to come for Xandar?"

Then, seeing Mr. Kassadin fiddling with the Cosmic Orb without opening it, Sonia asked him about what was on her mind.

"There are six Infinity Stones in total. Collecting them will grant you near-omnipotent abilities."

"Not many people know this kind of information, but eventually some people will find out."

"Therefore, it is only a matter of time before an even more powerful enemy arrives."

Harvey looked at the cosmic orb in his hand and said with a smile.

"But who would dare to snatch this treasure from your hands?"

Upon hearing that possessing all of them grants near-omnipotent power, Sonia didn't dwell on it much and instead fell into thought.

"The universe is so vast, there must be no shortage of ambitious and powerful individuals at the top of the universe."

“Even if they don’t dare to directly rob me, it’s perfectly normal for them to send people to test me.”

Harvey smiled and said upon hearing this.

I wonder how Thanos will react now that he knows the Power Stone is in Thanos's hands.

Given Thanos's personality, he would definitely investigate thoroughly and assess whether he had a sufficient chance of winning before actually making his move.

Normally, delaying tactics are fine, but the members of the Void Cult increase their strength every once in a while, and the longer the delay goes on, the more disadvantageous it is for Thanos.

Thinking about how Thanos endured and delayed, only to find it increasingly difficult to seize the prize, he finally couldn't resist taking action.

Harvey couldn't hide his smile; he knew the day he would meet Thanos in person wasn't far off.

"Sending someone to probe Void Island?"

"Should we increase security?"

Sonia asked after hearing Mr. Kassadin's words.

"No need. The many members of the Void God Cult are the best defense for Void Island."

"Some of them have already acquired the ability to directly observe strength through the life force."

"If anyone tries to sneak in, they won't escape their eyes."

Harvey shook his head slightly upon hearing this and spoke.

"Ok, I see."

Sonia understood upon hearing this; Mr. Kassadin was simply going to watch the show.

Even the enemy may not know that before you even take any action, all your plans and intelligence are already in their hands.

The thought of having a strong opponent like Mr. Kassadin is truly terrifying.

Harvey looked at the spirit orb in his hand but did not open it rashly.

Because he knew this wasn't a suitable place to open it, and that he might accidentally destroy the villa, he wasn't in a hurry to study the Power Gem.

Chapter 303 Thanos's Scheme

After the war on Xandar ended.

"Void Divine Cult!"

On the distant planet Titan, Thanos learned of this news. His face darkened, and he slammed his fist on his throne, uttering a chilling sound.

When Ronan's ambitions grew and he betrayed him, he wanted to personally eliminate Ronan as soon as possible.

This way, the Power Stone won't fall into the hands of Kassadin, the Void God, a troublesome and difficult enemy.

Ronan acted too quickly; he was already on his way to Xandar when he said he was going to betray him, so Ronan didn't have time to intercept him.

If Ronan could avenge himself by destroying Xandar and taking down the Void Cult in the process, it would remove one of his biggest worries.

I just didn't expect Ronan to be so useless. He didn't even bring much death to Xandar, let alone wipe out the Void Cult.

Several years ago, when Kassadin, the god of the void, was rising to fame.

Thanos had already anticipated the trouble the Cult of the Void would cause him.

But to his utter surprise, the Void God Cult thwarted his plans time and again.

On Earth, the Void Forerunner Tony Stark of the Void Cult sought help, leading to a crushing defeat for the Chitauri army, which was secretly instructed by Stark.

If the Ancient One and Odin weren't still alive...

He would have taken matters into his own hands long ago to snatch it, so that the Mind Stone wouldn't be lost and the Space Stone could be obtained directly.

However, it's not a problem if he doesn't get them yet, because as long as he knows that the Reality Stone, Mind Stone, and Space Stone are on Earth, it won't be difficult for him to get them when the time is right.

But this time, the Void Cult took the Power Gem directly, which made his plans more complicated.

Kassadin, the God of the Void, is a very mysterious figure who possesses the terrifying ability to traverse endless distances and descend to any location in the universe.

Kassadin's power is unfathomable, capable of easily resolving massive disasters that could threaten the world.

The fact that Kassadin can do it so easily means that the strength he has shown is far from his limit.

Among the many top-tier powerhouses in the universe, most have a long list of legendary deeds. By observing their deeds, one can determine their abilities and gain insight into the current situation.

However, information about Kassadin is the least available, and without knowing his specific background, Thanos cannot easily take direct action.

He didn't want to fail and expose his plan to eliminate others, which would only arouse the suspicion of other top experts. However, he was also somewhat unwilling to give up the power gem.

However, at present, his forces do not appear to have any major conflicts with the Void God Cult.

Thanos's eyes flickered as he pondered a strategy. Perhaps a peace negotiation approach could be considered?

Kassadin may have learned about the power of the Power Stone from Ronan, but he probably didn't know about the power that collecting all the Infinity Stones would bring.

Possessing something doesn't mean you truly understand it, a point Thanos could deduce by observing the two Infinity Stone holders, Odin and the Ancient One.

Rather than engaging in a direct, all-out confrontation, negotiating to see if Kassadin could hand over the Power Gem at some cost seems to have a higher success rate.

However, Kassadin, the God of the Void, has been very low-key since establishing the Cult of the Void, aside from his high-profile rise to power. There has been no news of Kassadin making an appearance in the past few years.

How to get in touch with Kassadin is also a big problem.

It's impossible for them to meet right away. If Kassadin asks him to meet on the Void Isle, then he'll be venturing into a den of wolves and tigers.

So the only thing to do is to try to contact Kassadin and communicate with him remotely to test his thoughts and attitude.

Thanos ultimately decided to wait and see for the time being.

Considering that Kassadin is unlikely to give the Power Gem directly to himself.

Therefore, he should obtain one or two gems before considering resorting to forceful measures.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a wise choice for him to directly confront Kassadin, who had just obtained the Power Gem; he might accidentally die there.

"Odin, you old bastard, why aren't you dead yet...?"

Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared in Thanos's deep eyes.

Based on the deeds and age of Odin's father, Bor, Odin's entry into Odin's Slumber has been interrupted three times, and his lifespan should be nearing its end with only a few years left to live.

For Odin, a monster whose power increases with age, it's impossible for him to simply steal it.

As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Odin is on the verge of death, he doesn't have a 100% chance of winning if they really fight.

Moreover, even if they gain some advantage, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, will definitely intervene.

He wasn't even confident of defeating Odin, and if the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, were to join the fray, his plan would surely fail.

So all he can do is wait until Odin dies, and the Ancient One dies or gets into trouble; that will be the best time for him to make his move.

Of course, if the true nature of the Void Cult is found out, then seizing the Power Gem would be the best priority, but all of this requires patience.

The owners of the Power Stone, Space Stone, Mind Stone, Reality Stone, and Time Stone have been identified.

The Soul Gem is also missing.

Before the time is right, it is not advisable to directly reveal one's ambitions. Instead, one should make people feel that while destroying the planet, one also obtains the Infinity Stones.

The Space Stone and Mind Stone are not primarily offensive; their main abilities are teleportation and mind control.

If he could obtain the Reality Stone or the Time Stone, he would definitely be able to directly confront Kassadin, who possesses the Power Stone.

So the current situation only means that achieving the plan has become more difficult, but it does not mean that there is no chance to counterattack and successfully collect the Infinity Stones.

Tony also explained the situation of the Infinity Stones to Renoir, Lacey, Kyle, and the Precognitive.
