Elden Gulong in American comics

"But there are also theories that he did it to please a goddess."

After Lani heard this, she clasped two of her four arms in front of her chest and said as if praying:

"What a tyrannical god. Does he need such a blood sacrifice?"

As a magician of Kallia, she has always been indifferent to gods. Her laws are the moon and stars, which only belong to the free void, but do not belong to any god.

"Maybe it's just Thanos' wishful thinking. The flowing water is ruthless, and the falling flowers are intentional."

……

As if it was some kind of prophecy spoken by Locke, Thanos was kneeling on one knee at this moment, holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand, praying to his goddess in the empty hall.

"Goddess of Death, I offer you my gift. Every bouquet of flowers is the life of a planet. I dedicate them all to you!"

No one knew that Thanos had such a lover, and under his prayers, a god did come here.

In the oppressive darkness, a graceful woman wearing a robe walked out, her face under the hood hidden in the darkness.

The appearance of the goddess is so silent, death always comes inadvertently, and treats all creatures equally.

Death stood still in front of Thanos and reached out to take the bouquet in his hand. The moment the white bouquet was in her hand, all the white flowers withered and turned into gray-white dust and fell.

Thanos was like an innocent little boy at the moment, anxiously waiting for the goddess's words.

Thanos has seen death from a long time ago. Like the orphans he adopted, he is also the last survivor of a race. When he killed his people, he met the god who is in charge of all death and decay in the universe. .

And fell deeply in love with her.

It's a pity that death will not stop because of his love. She is so unpredictable, like a seasoned charmer, seducing ignorant virgins.

In order to please the other party, Thanos did a lot, and during this period, his understanding of death became more and more profound, until he was ready to use special means to erase half of all life in the universe.

There is too much life in this universe, and he needs to erase most of it to bring life and death into balance.

This is the best gift Thanos can think of to help his goddess complete her mission, which will definitely make girls happy.

It can even protect the ecological environment of the universe. Thinking of this, Thanos almost jumped up with joy.

However, before his plan is completed, he can still only use the life on a few planets as gifts to the goddess. Compared with his plan, these bouquets are indeed a bit shabby.

Death let go of the bouquet that had turned to ashes, revealing the face under the hood. It was a human skull, the most vivid symbol of death.

She raised her slender and graceful fingers and said to Thanos:

"I sensed a new power of death, coming from afar to fetch it and bring it to me."

As she spoke, a emblem appeared in the goddess's hand, which was an eroded sun. The black sun shed tears, as if crying silently.

Thanos was so excited that his hands were shaking. He fell to his knees and promised loudly: "I will bring you this gift."

"That's good."

Death disappeared again, and Thanos sat back in his seat and traced the emblem.

"Look for this mark throughout the universe, it must be somewhere."

Chapter 156: Apprentice Knight Jessica

As time goes by, the citizens of New York City increasingly feel the change of the times, just like Edison lighting up the electric lamp and illuminating the endless night. When they look at the red lightning flying in the sky, they feel... Will sincerely praise:

"It's truly a heroic time."

Now, there are more than 300 heroes in New York. In addition to those on the surface, there are also many heroes who choose to wear masks and secretly protect the safety of one or two blocks at night.

In the beginning, these heroes were only active in some prosperous areas, such as central areas such as Manhattan. This was probably the bad leader led by Iron Man, who caused the heroes to gather in the neighborhoods around Stark Tower.

Then, these heroes began to spread further afield, until now, a New Yorker can hit two masked heroes and a criminal they beat up by throwing a brick down.

But there are also some small problems. As Tony said, there are not enough bad guys.

Jessica Jones was walking aimlessly on the street. She was wearing a leather jacket with a cologne emblem on the shoulder.

She rubbed her fingers gently, and red lightning flashed at her fingertips. This was the power she had gained before.

It was a large-scale election with tens of thousands of people participating. For countless civilians in New York, it was an opportunity to change their appearance and regain a new life.

Jessica was in a very bad mental state at the time. In her breakdown, she instinctively wanted to do something.

So she signed up for the audition.

Competing with Jessica were several powerful mutants with different abilities, each of whom was regarded as a reserve for the Thunder Legion, until Jessica lifted a steamroller above her head and played a cool Throw the ball.

When the dragon witch saw this scene, she sat up straight and registered Jessica's name.

"Lord Gu Long said that power is the reason for being king. You have the power I want!"

After the audition, the witch Lorna took out a dragon scale and handed it to Jessica, and said in a nagging tone:

"Jessica Jones, you have the power of a dragon, welcome to join the Thunder Legion!"

The next moment, the ancient dragon's power entered her body, making her revitalized.

After going through some twists and turns, Jessica came to Hell's Kitchen. According to the records in Legion of Thunder, this is the territory of the Thor Jane Foster, a hell filled with gangs and vendettas.

"Damn trash, stay out of the way!"

Jessica took a sip of wine and walked on the streets of Hell's Kitchen cursing. No one wanted to mess with this woman. Her strength was enough to tear you apart. Compared with her, the criminals in Hell's Kitchen preferred the benevolent female Thor.

The opponent is beautiful and rarely makes fatal moves.

Jessica looked at everything around her. A month ago, she received news that the master of the Thunder Legion had appeared in Hell's Kitchen.

Faced with this news, Lorna, the witch who is now in charge of the legion, was so angry that she almost jumped out of her chair.

"Someone dares to impersonate Lord Locke. I will seal him in steel!"

Therefore, Jessica, as one of the trainee knights, was entrusted with an important task, asking her to find the bastard pretending to be Cologne in the darkness of Hell's Kitchen.

The entire Thunder Legion is divided into several layers. The top is naturally the ancient dragon Locke. Under him are the knights who have created their own prayers and understood the power.

Including Victor Doom, Jane Foster, Hawkeye Clinton, and Lorna, they are regarded as the four knights of the Thunder Legion.

These people have the power to recruit apprentice knights. The so-called apprentice knights are strong men who have received the power seeds of the ancient dragon and possess the power of thunder.

For example, Jessica is a knight under Lorna.

Under these trainee knights, there are actually a group of people who are called knights' retinues.

Most of them are people with sporadic superpowers, or lucky ones who got a scaly claw from them because they came into contact with the power of the ancient dragon.

These people's superpowers are not strong and they can only emit static electricity, but with the Thunder Legion as their backing, these heroes' lives will be much easier.

Because of this, the legion is naturally divided into two factions. One faction mainly studies the power of ancient dragons and wants to rely on technology to improve their own power like Doom.

The other group mainly uses the power of ancient dragons, hoping to enhance the power in the body through use.

Jessica is naturally an "utilizer". She is not very smart and has no sense of those messy Maxwell equations. She can only understand the power of thunder through attacks one after another.

She thinks this is good. When she was most vulnerable, the Thunder Legion helped her. Now, she has become stronger and can help more people.

It was already the night when the lights were on, and she was wandering aimlessly on the streets, but the next second, she looked into the depths of Hell's Kitchen, where Gu Long's power flashed away.

It felt like someone was knocking a bell in her ear, which made Jessica wake up instantly. She understood that she had found her goal.

She strode out and ran wildly on the street. No, I should say she flew on the street. Electricity flashed under her body. Her legs seemed to be taking steps, but in fact they were swinging in mid-air, pretending to be running. illusion.

The street lights passed by until she turned a corner and saw the dying Gu Long lying on the ground.

A huge gap appeared on Gu Long's neck. The other person was lying there, blood pouring out of his throat, and his big golden eyes stared at Jessica, making her panic for a moment.

If Jane Foster is the God of Thunder in the hearts of New Yorkers, then Locke is the Dragon God, a true god-level existence in the hearts of these Thunder Legion people.

Jessica looked at Gu Long who fell on the ground, took a breath, and walked forward, wanting to take a look at the other party's condition.

But the next second, the sound of electric current came from around her, and her body paused. She felt as if there were countless knives stirring inside her body.

Jessica fell down unwillingly, and a figure in a purple suit appeared in front of her eyes. It was her nightmare, the man who once controlled her.

Purple Man, Kilgrave.

"Why is this woman, where is Jane Foster?"

A dissatisfied voice came from the side. Ziren grinned, smiled, squatted down and grabbed Jessica's face:

"That's not bad, isn't it? It proves that my method is effective."

"What is your method? I found it to use electric current backlash to destroy the superpowers in these people."

A third, somewhat sharp voice broke in, and they communicated with each other until Jessica lost her last consciousness.

"This is a trap..."

Chapter 157: True or False

As in most superhero comics, when a force becomes strong enough, several villains will appear from all corners to cause trouble.

For example, Purple Man, whose name is Kilgrave, is a second-tier villain in Marvel. He is the kind of guy who is not very harmful, but very annoying.

His ability is mind control. As a superpower, his skin can secrete a special kind of pheromone, which controls the person who inhales the pheromone.

Relying on this ability, he once tortured Jessica for a long time, forcing the girl to do many terrible things for him.

Until Jessica escaped from him and joined the Thunder Legion.

In order to regain his beloved prey, Ziren began to re-examine this behemoth of New York's heroes. More than half of the heroes were related to this group of people, but they also had their own weaknesses.

That's the source of their power, that weird alien dragon, Roxanx.

With this idea in mind, Ziren found several villains who also wanted to get a vote, such as the hooded man standing next to him. Blue electric sparks were flashing on his body. It was he who cracked the The power inside Jessica's body.

His name is Max Dillon. He was originally a circuit engineer, but now he calls himself the Electron Man.

According to Max, he once wanted to join the Thunder Legion, but neither his knowledge level nor his practical ability met the standards of the Legion.

Therefore, he held a grudge and wanted to find a flaw in the Thunder Legion.

With the help of Ziren, they got a trial type power seed. After repeated experiments, Max found a special frequency. People with the power of the ancient dragon are at this frequency, and the power in their bodies will be Will lose control.

The principle is not yet known, but it will take some time for this frequency to work, so Purple Man and Electric Man found another villain.
