Chapter 852

And the result?

Good grief.

He had already left this universe?

What do you call this? A turn of events? No, this is practically a mountain road with eighteen bends.

"So... you called me over, and in the end, it was just to tell me that you counter-killed Gress?"

"No."

Thanos shook his head, laboriously raising his left hand and pointing at the Space Stone in the Infinity Gauntlet that Hawk had been keeping suspended in the air: "After I knew you tortured him once, and also knew that he knew I knew his truth, the next step was for him to make me shut up. I thought about how he had been killed by you once, and then after being killed by me once, he would completely lose control over this universe. Therefore, I thought of that Bruce Banner who came from who knows where, and used this Bruce Banner to set a trap for him."

The moment Thanos pointed, Hawk had already taken the Space Stone embedded in the Infinity Gauntlet and held it in his own hand.

At the same time Thanos's words fell, he also sensed a trace of anomaly from the Space Stone.

Hawk turned his head to look at Thanos, who had completely laid down.

"This is..."

"A multiverse coordinate."

Thanos lay on the sandy gravel, his voice panting slightly, like a leaking bellows.

"I have already used the Space Stone in advance to record the coordinates of the universe where that Bruce Banner is located. As long as you can find the universe where these coordinates are located in the endless multiverse, then you can find Gress, and if you can find Gress..."

"I can find my wife."

Hawk looked at the Space Stone in his hand, which stored a multiverse coordinate, his eyes shining.

Thanos, hearing this, twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, and Gress has already left this universe, so the instinct of this universe's time has returned. Therefore, you are still in the time of this universe, but independent of the universe's time; you don't need to worry about time traps anymore."

"... Thank you."

Hawk's heart stirred. After putting the Space Stone and the Power Stone into his own small universe, and waiting for the Reality Stone to confirm that these two stones shared the same origin, he stood up from the ground, hands in his pockets, looked at Thanos lying on the ground, and said thank you: "Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Thanos, whose eyes were already filled with the aura of death, looked at the earnest Hawk and didn't act coy.

"After I die, bury me here. This place was once my home."

"Can do."

Hawk, hearing this dying request from Thanos, didn't hesitate, nodded, and exercised his subjective initiative: "Don't worry, after you die, no one will be able to come here to disturb you and your homeland."

Thanos, hearing this, glanced at Hawk, didn't speak, but instead let his gaze fall on the sky of Titan.

In a trance.

He seemed to see the Titan sky, which had disappeared for a long time, twinkling with countless stars.

Then...

Thanos, as if experiencing a final burst of energy, struggled to stand up from the ground, then looked toward the direction of the once-glorious city of Titan and closed his eyes.

And with that!

Thanos's curtain fell.

And the moment Thanos closed his eyes and died, a spaceship landed not far away. Immediately after, Gamora, with her tall and toned figure, and the modified Nebula roared the name "Thanos," and Star-Lord, with a brain tissue hanging around his neck, killed their way toward Thanos, who had chosen to die standing.

Hawk's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Eye blast!"

"Bang!"

Gamora was instantly knocked flying.

"Thud!"

Nebula crashed right on the spot.

"Boom!"

Star-Lord, running behind, was even more miserable, flying backward and smashing back into the spaceship he had just run out of.

However, after being messed with like this, everyone also discovered the fact that Thanos was already dead.

Hawk looked at the few people who were suspicious and uncertain after getting up and looking at Thanos's corpse to the side, and laughed: "You're late."

Gamora looked suspiciously and uncertainly at Thanos's corpse, and then at Hawk, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

"Mr. Phoenix, Thanos is your..."

"No."

Hawk knew what Gamora wanted to ask, turned his head to glance at the Celestial corpse in the distance that looked like a Titan hill: "Thanos died together with this thing."

Actually, Thanos had long been unable to hold on; he was just holding onto a breath, waiting for him to come over and finish saying everything, only then dying without regrets.

As for what regrets.

Of course, it was regrets regarding the Celestials.

From a certain perspective, Thanos was treating him as his spiritual successor.

Who told them both to have a common enemy.

The Celestials!

Just as Hawk was thinking with somewhat scattered thoughts, Gamora just glanced at the Celestial corpse in the distance, and then let her gaze fall on the corpse of Thanos, who had died standing.

She didn't know any Celestials.

But she knew Thanos, and Thanos was not only her adoptive father but also the irreconcilable enemy of her Zehoberei people.

So...

"Mr. Phoenix, can you hand Thanos's corpse over to me?"

"No."

Hawk came back to his senses, heard this request from Gamora, and decisively refused: "I promised Thanos that I would ensure he is laid to rest, and I will not let anyone disturb the peace of him and Titan."

If you ask, it's a man's promise.

Once again.

He had no grudge or enmity with Thanos; on the contrary, one could even say his first pot of gold was brought to him by Thanos.

Think carefully: if Thanos hadn't sent the Chitauri soldiers to invade Earth, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Chitauri weapons, naturally wouldn't have looked for buyers online, and wouldn't have known Anna...

So!

For those creatures whose lives were indiscriminately cleared by Thanos, Thanos was a bully.

But for Hawk, Thanos could be considered a good person.
