There's no need to witness too much injustice, darkness, and danger in the universe.
"You're right, I was too demanding."
Upon hearing Madam Butterfly's words, Lacey took a deep breath and spoke.
In reality, she doesn't need to be responsible for Tony and the others too much; anyway, it's not a big deal if these grown men suffer a little loss in the future.
※※※※※※※
Meanwhile, on an uninhabited planet 1.7 million light-years away from Lacey and the others.
Thanos has also received news that the Void Cult has begun its operation.
Meanwhile, Thanos, clad in his armor, sat atop a mountain, gazing at the scenery before him, trying to restore his former tranquility.
But no matter how hard he tried to find scenery and things that could bring peace to his mind, he couldn't find them.
The pursuit by the Void God Cult was like a soul-binding chain, firmly locking his heart.
The suffocating feeling of being plotted against and killed made Thanos feel like he couldn't breathe.
"Why did it come to this... why didn't I realize it beforehand?"
Thanos gazed at the breathtaking natural scenery before him, a symbol of beauty and peace, and kept muttering to himself.
He prided himself on being exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, but in the end, he fell deeply into the enemy's conspiracy and only realized the truth when it was too late to reverse the situation.
Thanos actually had a very indifferent attitude towards life and death, but his ideals were easily destroyed.
This is what Thanos regrets the most, if he had noticed it beforehand.
Then he could change his strategy, hide even deeper, and look for other opportunities.
But now, because he has clashed with the Void God Cult time and again, he can only wait for his death.
He knew that the Cult of the Void had a prophet, so even though he had fled to the edge of the universe.
As long as the Void God Cult does not give up the pursuit, he will eventually find himself in a desperate situation with nowhere to turn.
It wasn't that he didn't want to find a way to reverse his desperate situation.
However, without the Infinity Stones, he cannot negotiate with the strongest beings in the universe.
At most, they can talk to the top powerhouses in the universe and seek alliances with them.
The top powerhouses in the universe who used to be respectful and deferential to him are now too lazy to even acknowledge him, and they are all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
From being feared and revered by countless people in the past to being ridiculed by others, this situation is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Thanos is indeed filled with regret, but he doesn't regret his past actions or his ideals.
He regrets that he was outmaneuvered because of his own incompetence.
He was quite strong, but facing the encirclement and attack of six top experts sent by the Void God Cult, he knew he had little chance of winning.
All he can do now is try to buy some time so he can see the scenery and life he had imagined after achieving his ideals.
But these landscapes, which he had previously imagined to be incredibly beautiful, now seemed irritating to him no matter how he looked at them.
Thanos himself knew the reason: he had not achieved his ideals.
His temperament stemmed not from the carefree attitude that followed the successful fulfillment of his ambitions, but from the resentment and regret caused by the forced extinguishment of his ideals.
Having understood all this, Thanos no longer intended to escape.
As long as the members of the Void God Cult follow the intelligence and track his trail, they can find him.
He has already chosen his burial place, right here on this beautiful planet.
The process of waiting for death is agonizing, and Thanos even considered suicide so that he wouldn't have to suffer these torments.
But the resentment in his heart made it impossible for him to accept the way he was dying.
Even if he were to die, he should die on the battlefield, not commit suicide like the cowards he used to despise.
But he also knew that all his struggles were in vain.
Because the destiny that Kassadin, the god of the void, casually set for him was already predetermined.
Faced with the behemoth that is the Void God Cult, all his counterattacks are insignificant.
Thanos knew better than anyone the terror of Kassadin, the Void God.
His opponent's schemes, strength, vision, methods, and everything else were superior to his.
The many powerful beings and gods in the universe were completely unaware of these things, which made Thanos feel much better.
He was going to die, but he died knowing exactly what was going on, unlike those foolish peak cosmic powers and foolish ancient gods.
Instead of eliminating those who pose a threat to them sooner, they remain high above, hiding in various parts of the universe.
When Kassadin, the god of the void, begins his actions and brings calamity upon those figures.
Just thinking about Thanos brought a mocking smile to his face.
"Arrogance is indeed the source of all misfortune, and I too have committed the sin of arrogance."
Thanos was initially mocking the gods in his heart, but then he remembered his own self-deprecating laughter.
He did not intend to tell the gods of the universe that the fate of the void was already sealed.
Even if he told them, it would be useless, because those people wouldn't listen to him, and the Void's conquest of the universe was already a foregone conclusion.
His strength may not be at the pinnacle of the universe, but Thanos believed that his insight was only inferior to that of Kassadin, the god of the void.
With his unparalleled insight, he had already foreseen a calamity that even the ancient god Eternal could not stop.
He did not formally fight Kassadin, the God of the Void, but he understood Kassadin's strategy and how calm and collected the person who designed such a strategy must be.
※※※※※※※
Meanwhile, on the other side of Purple Illusion Star...
Stephen and Steve were kicked off the warship by Lacey.
They dialed Huanxing's number again.
Is there anything else?
Huanxing saw the communication signal again. Although she felt there would be endless trouble, she still patiently answered it.
"I don't want to bother you either."
"But Lacey said we need to have a good talk with you, to learn some basic knowledge about space intelligence and some rules for dealing with intelligence brokers."
"We can guarantee that we will not harm your life."
Stephen sensed a hint of helplessness in Huanxing's words and spoke up.
He also knew how terrifying the Void God Cult was as a backer, and that most people generally didn't want to have too much contact with people from the Void God Cult.
But there's nothing Stephen can do about it.
Madam Butterfly already said that one cannot arbitrarily control a person's mind to investigate information, so what else could he say?
So all we can do is obediently follow normal investigative methods and learn some of the rules and common sense of the universe.
“I know that the Void God Cult is reasonable.”
"I'll send you the coordinates, come over here."
"However, let me state upfront that I have given all the information about Thanos to Lacey."
"If you come to me, I can only answer some other questions at most."
"Or I could explain the main direction of the investigation to you."
When Huanxing heard Stephen's words, he felt that it was extremely troublesome, but his identity was not as powerful as that of the members of the Void God Cult, so he had no choice but to agree.
When circumstances are unfavorable, many things become beyond one's control.
However, as long as his life is not in danger, we might as well do more business with him.
"Yes, that's enough."
Stephen smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Chapter 717 Dimensional God
Stephen and Steve went straight to chat with Phantom Star.
As an intelligence broker, Huanxing may not be considered the pinnacle of the industry in terms of intelligence investigation skills, but he is definitely one of the top few.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to reach the level of the largest intelligence broker on a planet.
Faced with Stephen and Steve's numerous inquiries, Huanxing didn't hesitate to talk about his past investigations and even showed photos of himself to help with the teaching.
Which of his bodyguards hadn't learned investigative techniques from him?
Huanxing also knew that Stephen and Steve were powerful figures, and that they would be useful if they were to investigate the enemy.
The enemy's strength level is at least at the level of superpowered individuals.
As for the weak, there is no need to investigate them at all, because the weak have no ability to protect their information from being leaked.
Meanwhile, Tony was also learning as he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, investigating and adapting to the process.
Although Jarvis cannot directly hack into the database to allow him to view countless pieces of information in a short period of time in order to accelerate his understanding of the world he is in.
However, Jarvis's expertise lies not only in data manipulation, but also in the powerful auxiliary capabilities brought about by his strong computing power.
Tony knew the purpose of his trip, so he remained unhurried throughout.
He asked Jarvis to help him find good restaurants, and while eating, he observed some aspects of the Purple Illusion Star Civilization.
Banner followed Kyle to various bars, directly striking up conversations and joining some tables to chat and boast.
Kyle is miles ahead of Banner in terms of social skills; Banner's personality is just too honest and kind.
This is a good quality, but it applies to neighborhoods and allows for a very peaceful life.
If you want to thrive in the universe, then excellent interpersonal relationships are an indispensable part.
So Kyle plans to slightly alter Banner's personality.
At least it will prevent Banner from being afraid to socialize with others due to social anxiety.
