Chapter 60: Black Order

The Temple

As the lair of the Mad Titan Thanos, the environment here truly displayed his cruel and brutal nature.

Countless waste covered the entire sky, surrounded by dense blood-red nebulae as if they were formed by the blood of innocent victims killed by Thanos.

However, as the Dark Lord, Thanos was slightly unhappy.

"You sent three warships there but couldn't even capture a single Earthling. And to make it worse, you told me he was dead, but he's still alive!"

Sitting on his throne, Thanos lifted his eyelids and looked coldly at the trembling Chitauri leader crawling below him.

As soon as Jack appeared on Xandar, he received the news, which made him angry. His subordinates were too useless, and he was considering whether to replace them.

Last time, his subordinates said they accidentally killed the target. Although Thanos was disappointed, he was not angry.

He wanted to figure out how the target could absorb the power of the Infinity Stones, but he also knew that the success rate of such an ability was too low.

But the result was...two Chitauri warships were destroyed, and all he got was news that the target was still alive.

This made Thanos very disappointed and somewhat angry.

"Chitauri's abilities are really disappointing."

Although he remained expressionless, his attitude made the Chitauri leader below him even more afraid.

The leader wanted to explain, but he didn't dare to speak up. He was afraid that he would be killed just by opening his mouth!

"Forget it, Corvus Glaive!"

Thanos didn't dwell on the matter, and he ordered coldly. "You and Proxima take the Outriders with you and capture this earthling before he returns to the earth."

Two slender figures emerged from the darkness and knelt before Thanos, bowing their heads in submission. "We obey, great Thanos!" they said before disappearing into the shadows.

On his throne, Thanos think deeply before speaking again. "Supergiant, you will also go. If you cannot capture him, find out his secret!"

"Understood," an elegant voice replied from all around before fading away.

.....

A shuttle-shaped spaceship is traveling through a jump point.

Inside the cockpit, loud music is playing. Jack walks out of the bathroom, drying his wet hair and muttering to himself.

"What kind of music is this?"

He walks up to the control panel and turns off the music, complaining about the previous owner's taste in music on the spaceship.

The Nova Empire is pretty cool. Providing him with a confiscated spaceship with a high internal design.

It's much stronger than his previous ship. According to Saal, this spaceship belonged to a boss pirate group, and its internal design was extremely luxurious.

The space inside is also very large, comparable to an aircraft carrier's.

The entire spaceship is driven by artificial intelligence and does not require any crew, making it highly confidential.

The Nova Legion destroyed that pirate group, so this spaceship was pulled into their hangar.

Jack likes it.

Before leaving, He gave Saal a dark blue stone and made it clear that if he needed help, he could crush the stone, and Jack would come to assist.

Jack did this to prevent Thanos from destroying Xandar in the future. The environment here is great, and he even thought about bringing his wives here for their honeymoons.

Jack didn't know that although this ship seemed perfect to him, the Nova Empire didn't care much about it. If they were a day or two late, the ship would have been dismantled and sold for scrap.

"Where are we now?" Jack asks, sitting in a chair and pressing a button, causing the chair to vibrate as if there were dozens of hands massaging him, making him feel incredibly relaxed.

As his words fell, a projection of a small red girl appeared in front of him.

"We only have thirteen more jumps until we reach the solar system!" she exclaimed.

"The entire process will take about twenty days, and we'll arrive at the next jump point in an hour!" she continued.

"Fantastic!" Jack said, enjoying his position in the chair and a satisfied smile appearing on his face. "This spaceship is perfect. It's faster and stronger than the last one."

"This one is the latest model, and it's been specially modified. Your ship, on the other hand, it's just second-hand junk!" Looking at him, the little girl showed a hint of disgust and mockery.

"Hiss!"

Jack opened his eyes and looked at the little girl with curiosity. "Hey, Red Queen, you weren't like this before. Why are you so sarcastic now?"

Yes, this little girl is the Red Queen from the world of Resident Evil, whom Jack salvaged while he was imprisoned.

It must be that since he came to outer space, Jack's chance of finding good things has increased.

Finding the Red Queen made him excited. This is the Red Queen. After all

A true artificial intelligence, now he doesn't have to fly the spaceship himself.

The Red Queen gave him a faint glance and said, "Just a friendly reminder, you're not out of trouble yet. Thanos' minions could come at any moment!"

"Let them come!"

Jack waved his hand confidently, showing no signs of concern.

Now he was much better than before. Having resolved the problems with his body, he felt free.

Although he was still limited in physical strength, if he faced the three Chitauri motherships from before, he could easily take them down with his current level of strength.

Beeping noises suddenly filled the spaceship as if on cue with Jack's words. Red Queen's voice followed suit, "As you wish! They're really here!"

Jack sat up suddenly, looking startled.

He was just talking jokingly. How come they came after him?

Also, they're too fast. He just left a few hours ago, and Thanos already got the news and sent his forces.

"They're not the Chitauri!" The red Queen waved her hand, and three donut-shaped spaceships appeared in front of Jack.

"Damn!" Jack's face suddenly became serious.

This time, it's not the Chitauri, but Thanos' elite troops, the Black Order.

Each of them is a tough opponent, especially Ebony Maw, who has extraordinary telekinesis abilities and even managed to capture Doctor Strange.

As for the other three, while Jack did not consider them a threat, he knew their strength was definitely not weak. Being almost beaten by a few ordinary humans in the movies was just for plot purposes.

The problem is which of the leaders had come?

Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive were not a problem, he was not afraid of Black Dwarf, and although Ebony Maw was troublesome, he could handle him as well.

As for the final Supergiant, Jack did not even know if she existed, as she was not seen in the movies.

Whoever had come, he could not let them get entangled with him. Otherwise, once Thanos was summoned, he would be in real trouble.

"Full speed ahead, target: the Solar System!"
