Sacrifice of the Camorra, the Road to Perdition

Thanos has a gauntlet crafted by the dwarves, allowing him to unleash the full power of the Infinity Stones. With his magical abilities, he can also control this power. Wang Yang believes that with his own strength and the power of the stones, he can confront Thanos.

Thinking about this, Wang Yang raised his hand and drew a circle, then stepped into it. He found himself in the palace of Asgard. Loki was sitting on the throne, still haunted by the shadow of the Battle of Hel. Asgard suffered significant losses, and the armies on the continents were slaughtered by Hela. However, Asgard still had a strong foundation, and many troops stationed on other planets returned. Asgard's power somewhat recovered.

As the heir of Odin, Thor had finally inherited the throne of Asgard. However, Thor never liked being a king; he preferred going into battles, much like Odin. Despite the apparent end of Ragnarok, Thor continued to travel through different worlds, becoming the core of Asgard.

Thor had achieved his wish of obtaining the throne and control of Asgard. However, at this moment, he felt a powerful presence suddenly appearing in the palace.

"It's you!"

Loki saw the person walking out and his expression became serious. At a glance, he recognized Wang Yang. Faced with such a terrifying existence, Loki, recalling the battle between Wang Yang and Hela, gave up any thought of resisting.

"Wizard Wang Yang, what brings you here?"

Loki forced a smile.

"It's not something important. Hand over the Space Stone."

Loki, being looked at by Wang Yang, immediately remembered Wang Yang's recent battle with Hela. He felt a sense of fear. Without much thought, Loki took out the Space Stone.

Wang Yang wasn't surprised that Loki handed over the Space Stone so quickly. Loki was a pragmatist, and he wouldn't resist unless he touched his bottom line.

Wang Yang waved his hand and directly received the Space Stone from Loki.

"Good. Now, I can offer you two choices."

Wang Yang was satisfied with Loki's choice, so he didn't mind sparing him.

"What choices?"

Loki looked at Wang Yang curiously. He had given the item to Wang Yang, and yet Wang Yang was still talking about choices!

"One is to stay in Kamartaj for a while, under my protection. The second is to remain in Asgard. Thanos might find you, and then he'll kill you."

Wang Yang said slowly.

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Loki was shaken. Thanos? He certainly knew about Thanos, and it was because of Thanos that he caused the New York battle. He had to admit Thanos was powerful.

"Now, what's your choice?"

Wang Yang looked at Loki.

"But I've already given you the stone!"

Loki couldn't help but force a bitter smile.

"Unfortunately, others don't know."

Wang Yang shook his head.

Loki nodded. He didn't need Wang Yang to deceive him, and more importantly, he adhered to the principle of "when you still have green hills, don't be afraid that there is no firewood to burn."

"Then, I choose to accept Kamartaj's protection!"

Loki nodded and said.

Wang Yang nodded, then continued, "Good, walk through the portal, and someone will receive you!"

Without hesitation, Loki entered the portal, and the portal disappeared in the palace.

Wang Yang opened another portal and walked through it.

Scotland.

On the streets, it was already night. Wanda entered a supermarket, while Vision stood outside.

"You sensed my presence!"

After Wang Yang came out, he said somewhat unexpectedly. Even with his current strength, it was doubtful if even Thanos could sense him.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he came out, Vision had already sensed his presence.

"I sensed the power of the Infinity Stones!"

Vision remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Why did you come for me?"

Wang Yang asked.

Vision did not sense any hostility from Wang Yang. Moreover, he could clearly feel that Wang Yang's power seemed even stronger now.

Last time, he could resist, but this time, he felt that he could no longer resist.

"Come back to Kamartaj with me!"

Wang Yang said slowly.

Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Vision was stunned, asking, "Why?"

Now that Vision had begun to accept human emotions and feelings, he had made progress in his relationship with Wanda. He did not want to be separated from her.

"Because someone will try to seize the Infinity Stones, and being with Wanda might endanger her."

"Of course, you can also enter Kamartaj together with her!"

Wang Yang said.

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Vision fell into silence. In these days, he often felt some unease, which was the information transmitted by the Infinity Stones, but he couldn't understand it.

Now that Wang Yang appeared in front of him, he finally understood why he had that kind of feeling from the Infinity Stones.

Perhaps as Wang Yang said, something significant is about to happen.

"Maybe what you said is true, but I can't be away for too long. Besides, I also need to figure out a way to remove the gem from your head!"

Wang Yang looked at Vision and said slowly.

"Alright!"

Vision nodded. He understood that while the gem might bring him great power, it also posed a significant threat. It could potentially lead to significant trouble.

Then, Wang Yang opened a portal leading to Kamar-Taj.

While Wang Yang was collecting the Infinity Stones, Thanos was also accelerating his quest to obtain them.

On the planet Vormir, Thanos stood on a cliff. Using Nebula's information as leverage, he finally learned the location of the Soul Stone. With Gamora, he arrived on the planet.

Guided by the Red Skull, they reached the cliff.

"To obtain it, great sacrifices must be made!"

The Red Skull spoke slowly.

"I am prepared!"

"Why do you know so much about this place?"

Thanos asked.

"I used to collect the Infinity Stones. I even got one. But it cast me away, exiling me to this place. Now, I guide others to find what I could not."

The Red Skull narrated.

Then, standing at the edge of the cliff, he continued, "The Stone is right under your feet. Just as you fear!"

Gamora frowned, looking at the scene. "What is that?"

The Red Skull explained, "That is the price you need to pay. The Soul Stone holds a unique place among the Infinity Stones. You can call it demanding its own thing!"

Thanos frowned, asking, "What does it need?"

"To ensure that anyone who possesses it understands its power, the Stone demands a sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice what?"

"Sacrifice a beloved one, a soul for a soul!"

Hearing this, Thanos glanced at Gamora and fell into silence.

But Gamora couldn't help but laugh.

"I've always dreamed of seeing the day when you would face consequences for your actions. But it seems I can never get my wish."

"But now..."

While saying this, Gamora didn't notice that at this moment, Thanos' face showed signs of struggle and pain.

Circling around Thanos, she continued, "You kill and torment innocents, all under the guise of mercy. Now the universe judges you, and you beg for its mercy, yet it refuses!"

"You are defeated, and do you want to know why?"

"Because you love nothing and no one!"

Gamora looked at Thanos's imposing figure, her voice resolute, as if she was witnessing a joke.

However, at this moment, Thanos turned to look at Gamora.

"No..."

Tears streamed down Thanos' eyes as he gazed at Gamora.

Gamora never knew how much he loved his daughter.

Seeing this scene, Gamora couldn't help but sneer, saying, "Is this for real, tears?"

Gamora thought that Thanos, with nowhere else to go, had succumbed. However, beside her, the Red Skull slowly spoke, "These tears are not shed for himself."

Hearing this, Gamora's face changed. It seemed like she realized something.

She kept retreating, and Thanos slowly walked towards her.

"No, this is not love!"

"I once ignored my destiny, but I can't ignore it anymore, even if it is... for you!"

Thanos looked at Gamora.

"You won't get the Infinity Stone!"

Gamora shouted.

Thanos, his face filled with sorrow, said slowly, "I'm sorry, little one."

Saying this, Thanos grabbed Gamora's hand and threw her off the cliff.

The height was not much for Gamora.

However, this was a sacrifice, hurting the soul.

Thud!

Gamora fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.

She had no injuries on her body, her eyes still open, but there was no longer any sign of life.

A dense aura enveloped her.

The entire planet was shrouded in this radiance.

It was as if Thanos had entered a dream. When he woke up, an orange gem had appeared in his hand.

He could feel the immense power of this Stone. However, there was no joy on Thanos' face.

It was gained at the cost of losing his daughter.

No one knew what this meant to him.

"Gamora!"

Thanos clenched his fist, murmuring. When he opened his eyes again, his face returned to indifference.

Then, Thanos embarked on his journey, leaving the Red Skull standing there, silent.

Watching Thanos leave and board his spaceship.

Embarking on his path of destruction...
