Clow Card Magician in Marvel.

Chapter 214 Puppet

"Contain it."

In the meeting hall, Thanos stood up and gave instructions to his men behind him.

"Yes!" The subordinates nodded in response, looking at Thanos with fanatical admiration in their eyes.

But just as Thanos was about to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The big hand with the Infinity Gauntlet reached into the space, just like a punctured balloon. Accompanied by wisps of purple smoke, the demon with pointed mouth and fangs was pulled out from outside the space by Thanos.

Thanos threw the figure to the ground and looked down at him quietly.

"I know you, the former lord of hell, now a homeless dog, Mephisto."

"So you're spying on me?"

The corner of Mephisto's eye twitched, but after witnessing Thanos's achievements with his own eyes, he no longer had the slightest thought of becoming his enemy.

"Your Majesty." Mephisto bowed his head humbly, as if to surrender.

"I'm here to congratulate you on becoming the Master of the Universe!"

"If possible, I would like to be your stonemason and carve your heroic figure into the statue for future generations to admire."

"Lord of the Universe? Statue." Thanos twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered at the title.

"If you're just here to compliment me, then there's no need for that." Thanos said lightly.

"Only the weak need to resort to such ridiculous tricks to prove their so-called lofty status."

"If you just want to take this opportunity to join me, I can agree to it." Thanos turned his back to Mephisto and continued as he walked towards the starship in the distance.

"Go to Ebony Maw, he will give you a position that suits your status."

"Yes." Mephisto's heart trembled and he lowered his head even more.

It was not until Thanos went away and stepped into the starship that Mephisto dared to slowly raise his head and look at the starship in the distance.

“I can’t see through it at all.”

As the lord of Hell, Mephisto is best at seeing through the hearts of all kinds of people, manipulating their desires, and causing these people to fall into the abyss of depravity.

But when he faced Thanos, he was completely unable to see through Thanos' inner thoughts and could not sense any trace of his desires.

Whether it was when Thanos was in deep thought before killing these elders of the universe, or when he made those remarks about "the weak are unbearable", Mephisto did not sense any emotional fluctuations from Thanos.

You must know that even one of the creator gods that Mephisto had seen had his own primitive desires.

Could it be that this guy has surpassed them?

Mephisto felt a little ridiculous.

But apart from this reason, Mephisto could not find any other reasonable reason.

After all, over the thousands of years, Mephisto's eyes have never had any deviations except that he could not see through dead objects.

"grown ups."

On the starship, an old alien with a haggard face appeared on the virtual screen in front of Thanos.

"Since you have already killed all the Elders of the Universe," Ebony Maw said hesitantly, "Why did you let your men take their bodies?"

"I naturally have my own reasons." Thanos glanced at Ebony Maw, who looked a little puzzled, and said lightly: "Just do as I say."

"Yes." Ebony Maw bowed his head respectfully.

It was indeed Ebony Maw's fault in this matter, but it was no wonder that he asked such a question.

As a subordinate, on his master's road to dominance, he was unable to provide any useful help except helping his master clean up the battlefield, collect corpses, and guard the prison.

This made Ebony Maw and several other Dark Lord generals feel that they were useless.

As the virtual screen went out, Thanos turned and walked towards a closed room on the starship.

In this room, Gamora, whom Star-Lord has been obsessed with, is imprisoned.

When Gamora saw Thanos enter the room, there was no fear on her face, but instead it was full of mockery.

"Congratulations, you are one step closer to success."

"my father"!"

Thanos did not take Gamora's ridicule to heart, but looked at her face quietly.

"But you should also know that my further progress means you are one step closer to death."

"So what? At least you're dead, right?" Gamora laughed happily.

"You are nothing but an empty shell now!"

"." Thanos fell silent. In the silence, his figure slowly dissipated, leaving only an Infinity Gauntlet floating in the room.

Gamora laughed loudly as she watched the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh even louder, laughing so hard that tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

In addition to the joy in the laughter, there was also a bit of sadness and regret.

Fortunately, my father is dead.

Sadly, my father is indeed dead.

Sadly, my father really died.

"If borrowing your adoptive father's body makes you feel uncomfortable, I can apologize." Thanos' figure gradually solidified.

"But this is the best body in the multiverse."

"No matter which universe it is, only he and Tony Stark on Earth are the ones who have obtained the most Infinity Stones."

"But Thanos is the most suitable body for wandering around the universe."

"As long as I don't break the basic rules of this universe, they won't notice me."

"Is this why you kept those guys' bodies?" Gamora asked coldly to the restored Thanos.

"That's right." Thanos nodded slightly.

"Although I have seized their authority over rules, I have not destroyed their origins."

"That's why I didn't kill your friends." Thanos looked at Gamora, whose face turned a little ugly after hearing this.

"Although they are weak, the essence in their bodies has not yet dissipated. Killing them will only attract their attention."

“For me, this is not worth it.”

"Besides, since I can tell you this, it means that I am not worried about your betrayal, Ebony Maw."

Thanos waved his hand gently, and the communicator hidden behind Gamora flew into his hands.

"." On the other end of the communicator, Ebony Maw was no longer able to speak.

He didn't expect that it was just an unintentional action before, but he could hear words that shocked him now. Thanos snapped his fingers lightly, and Ebony Maw, who was about to escape, suddenly froze in place.

After doing all this, Thanos turned and looked at Gamora, whose body had frozen at this time.

"You may have misunderstood one thing. The reason I'm still keeping you here is not because you know where the Soul Stone is, but because it's not time for you to die yet."

"After all." Thanos tapped the glowing Soul Gem in his hand.

“Those who share the same origin will surely guide each other.”

In another starship on this planet.

"Hey, hello, I'm here to see your Lord Ebony Maw." Mephisto lowered his posture very humble.

But as the starship door opened, what appeared before him was Ebony Maw, who was already motionless.

There was a flash of panic in Ebony Maw's eyes. He looked at Mephisto and wanted to say something, but before he could make any sound, his body gradually began to disintegrate like dust.

"Wow." Mephisto raised his eyebrows as he looked at the scene in front of him.

It is not a good sign that you just met the assigned supervisor and he disappears in front of you.

But perhaps it is a habit that has been passed down for thousands of years?
Earlier, when Ebony Maw was about to disappear, Mephisto took away Ebony Maw's soul.

But unfortunately, Ebony Maw's soul did not stay in Mephisto's hands for long. When Ebony Maw's body completely dissipated, his soul was also annihilated in Mephisto's hands.

"This is really..." Mephisto looked at the soul in his hand turning into green smoke with regret.

"Mephisto."

Thanos' majestic voice was heard above the starship's computer.

"Your Majesty." Mephisto shook off the useless soul residue in his hand and looked at Thanos who appeared on the computer screen with a flattering face.

"Since Ebony Maw is dead, you will take his place." After Thanos gave these instructions, the figure on the virtual screen disappeared in front of Mephisto.

"Ah, that's true." Mephisto, who was suddenly promoted, raised his eyebrows.

Mephisto looked around and saw the starship outside the window taking off as usual, as if it was completely unaware that Lord Ebony Maw, one of the five black generals, had died.

"Okay, so what did he discover?" Mephisto narrowed his eyes with interest.

Although it seemed that Ebony Maw's soul did not stay in his hands for long before disappearing.

But as the Lord of Hell who plays with souls, he never leaves empty-handed.

How could a soul that had stayed in his hands disappear in vain like that?

Mephisto felt the memory that he had just extracted from Ebony Maw's soul.

The originally interested look became even weirder.

"Could it be like this?" Mephisto laughed softly.

"No wonder I couldn't sense any of his emotions. I sensed the wrong place from the beginning."

"But, judging from what he said, could it be that he wanted to..."

Mephisto narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had guessed what this "Thanos" wanted to do now.

"What a terrible thought."

Su Heng's figure slowly emerged above the attic of the dessert shop.

After returning to Earth, Su Heng first checked his mobile phone. Only after he found that there were no missed calls or text messages did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Heng doesn't want a mess to appear on Earth for him to solve every time he returns to Earth.

"Finally, I can have a good rest." Su Heng stretched and walked downstairs.

This space rescue journey did not take too long, only about half a day.

However, since Star-Lord's call came suddenly, Su Heng had to hand over the operating store to Gwen.

Anyway, this guy is disliked because he fights crime at night and sleeps at home during the day.

Anyway, the store hasn't had much business recently, so it's just right to hand it over to her since she has nothing to do.

Su Heng thought that when he went downstairs he would see Gwen dozing off on the counter.

What I saw was Gwen, who was trying hard to cheer herself up and chat with Ms. Helen and Pepper, pretending that she was not tired at all.

In the guest area, Tony was also chatting animatedly with Sheriff Stacy.

"Manager, are you back?" Gwen noticed Su Heng's appearance and quickly stood up.

"It's really lively here." Su Heng greeted Ms. Helen and Pepper with a smile.

"Ms. Helen, and Pepper, you two busy people actually have time to come to the store."

"I was dragged out by Tony." Although Pepper's words seemed a little helpless, she couldn't stop smiling on her face.

It was obvious that she had learned to enjoy this sudden vacation.

"As for me, it just so happens that George is on vacation today, and he heard that Gwen was in your store, so he came to take a look." Ms. Helen propped up her chin, looked at Gwen who was constantly winking at Su Heng, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Su."

"It's okay." Su Heng looked at Gwen's eyes that kept hinting at him, and said with a smile: "Gwen is quite diligent in the store, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease to temporarily hand over the store to her when I have something to do."

"Really? It turns out that the lazy cat that stays at home will become so diligent after coming out?" Ms. Helen looked at Gwen teasingly.

"Mom." Gwen said to Ms. Helen in a coquettish tone, "Can it be the same at home and outside?"

After Su Heng greeted the two ladies, he walked towards the guest area.

There, Tony and Sheriff Stacy were talking and laughing, and Su Heng went over.

"Mr. Stacy, you should know that Gwen does have this talent." Tony said in the guest area with a beaming face, "In her free time, she can come to Stark Industries to intern with Pepper. After graduating from college, she can seamlessly become the CEO of Stark Industries. Isn't this much more valuable than being an ordinary clerk here at Su Heng?"

"About this." Although Sheriff Stacy was somewhat tempted, she still did not choose to agree to Tony directly.

"Gwen hasn't even started college yet. I think she should have more options. If possible, I want to respect her opinion."

"Of course there's no problem with respecting her opinion." Tony shrugged. "I'm just telling you my opinion first, so that you and Gwen know that Stark Group is one of her options."

"If Gwen is rational enough, I believe she will make the right choice."

"So this is why you came here today?" Su Heng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Away with my clerk?"

"Ahem." Tony, who was originally quite interested, was frightened when he heard Su Heng's voice coming from behind him.

Tony turned his head and laughed at Su Heng.

"Hahaha, Su Heng, you're back?"
