Chapter 399 Reencounter with the Obsidian Five Generals
If Joey's senses are correct, wasn't there a timing issue when he accelerated upwards?
The Soul Stone, having developed its own will and thought, remained oblivious to this, still preoccupied with the so-called curse that drove its desire to obtain it: "You've collected so many gems, you should know where their power comes from. They are this world and reality. The rule of the Soul Stone is this: one soul for another, without sacrifice, even if you destroy this entire universe, you will never obtain the gem!"
"Just now----"
Joey opened her mouth, intending to show the ungrateful Soul Gem what had just happened, but then she forgot what she was going to say in a daze.
The purple patterns of the Power Gem appeared on Joey's body, like some kind of poison spreading through his veins, but having already suffered this level of pain and destruction several times, he was already used to it.
Perhaps Joey's method was flawed; the Power Stone did not respond to Joey's wishes, and the combination of the two almost had the opposite effect of 1+1<1.
But since brute force alone could not break the altar that sealed the Soul Gem, he could only try the power of the Power Gem, which shared the same origin.
I don't know why I stopped, but Joey doesn't mind doing it again.
Realizing that the other party was genuinely trying to carve it out with brute force, the Soul Gem's voice trailed off weakly: "That's not how the rules work—"
If it weren't for the rules, the Soul Stone would have wanted to tell Superman directly that rules are inanimate, but people are alive!
The act of sacrificing what you love, that is, the soul of the one you love—
But it never said that "you" in the condition must be "you"!
These honest people who wield immense power are terrifying; those with wicked schemes are much more interesting.
Sometimes, facing such a stubbornness, even if it is the power of the universe's origin, is quite hopeless. The so-called Infinity Stones are just called "stones" and it doesn't mean that they will always have a fixed form.
"Your punch will only cause the Soul Gem to collide with the other three gems on your body; it will have no other effect!"
What is this Superman thinking? Does he really think that getting the gem is as simple and straightforward as chiseling ore out of a rock?
Joey was only thinking about using the Power Stone to directly knock out the Soul Stone. As for the other method that the Soul Stone hadn't told him, how could he not know it?
However, ever since Red Skull was able to accurately point out Jor-El's name, Joey had gradually realized that he might not have time and that everything had to be done quickly and simply.
Just as Joey was about to use his "superhuman thinking power" to perform a miracle, he vaguely sensed a change in gravity.
The surrounding spacetime was being torn apart by something in the distance. If Joey wasn't mistaken, this commotion should be caused by the hyperspace engine that is used in this universe.
Sure enough, less than a second later, the hull of a giant spaceship was stretched, extended, and shortened infinitely like a two-dimensional plane, collapsing into a normal three-dimensional structure.
It makes sense, considering that in the short time Joey was here, the entire planet was imploded by brute force, causing such a huge commotion and attracting some unnecessary attention.
What Joey failed to realize was that, just as Ronan the Accuser's men could easily recognize him when he was only active on Earth, as the rumored one who defeated Galactus, he was far more well-known in the universe than he was on Earth.
After all, not everyone is as ignorant as a country bumpkin from Earth who doesn't know what Galactus is.
Just as Joey was wondering which faction had been attracted, a beam of light quickly shot over.
After scanning with his super vision and spotting several figures on the spaceship's bridge, Joey simply gave up and allowed the projected traction beam to pull him into the spaceship.
"Hand over the Power Stone!"
Joey, who had just been thrown onto the bridge after entering the spaceship, was already armed with knives and guns.
"The General of the Dead Blade," the leader of the Black Order, and his wife "Proxima Midnight."
Joey had seen them once before, but not in this universe. The despicable couple were in the same stance as before, with their blades and spears drawn, attacking Joey from both sides in a pincer-like formation.
Joey was now quite adept at killing them quickly.
But just as Joey was thinking about his next move, his steps suddenly faltered, and a feeling of stagnation, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him, pressed down from the outside in.
"Ebony Maw," a telekinetic superhuman, is the most cunning of the Black Order. More deadly than his telekinetic abilities is his mouthpiece, which instigates war and disaster, indirectly killing billions of lives: "You took something from Thanos that didn't belong to you. Give it to me, and I'll spare your life."
That's what they said, but they had no intention of showing mercy and talking. As Ebony Maw spoke, a burly man with dark skin, keratinized skin, and a physique even stronger than Hulk charged forward with unstoppable force.
He raised a fist bigger than Joey's head and slammed it down on Joey's face: "Give me the Power Stone, then hurry up and die!"
"Black Dwarf" possesses immense power and extremely strong defense. In some star systems that regularly pay tribute to Thanos, it is regarded by the local races as a Hercules-like being from mythology.
The fact that Superman obtained the Power Stone was not exactly a secret to those who knew what was hidden in the container that Star-Lord had stolen.
Now that the five Obsidian Generals have joined forces to attack, it is clear that they have come for this very reason.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Joey was currently carrying more than one gem.
"No, not only that! He has more than just the Power Stone now!"
It seems they know—"Superstar," a mysterious woman whose face was covered in runes and whose beautiful figure was completely shrouded in a black and white cloak, was actually a cosmic-level psychic, a PIUS version of Professor X: "The Mind Stone, the Time Stone, and the Power Stone are all on him!"
The five men were thrilled to discover that half of the Infinity Stones they had been searching for were actually in Superman's possession: "Kill him!"
When the five Black Order members joined forces to fight to the death, whether through a sneak attack or a direct assault, even their master, the Mad Titan Thanos, would likely perish on the spot.
Even if Superman is incredibly famous and capable of defeating Galactus, he would still be no match for such a force.
At this moment, after effortlessly learning from Joey's superficial consciousness that he carried the three gems—Time, Mind, and Power—the Superstar continued to relentlessly invade Joey's mind.
Even someone like Superman, who lacks telepathic abilities, is completely defenseless against her, no matter how strong their will. She was determined to continue probing: "Let me see what secrets you're hiding!"
"Feel free to look around, don't be shy."
Joey shrugged, offering no resistance whatsoever, and openly opened her heart to the superstar, even offering to help her search.
In an instant, a series of memories related to the Black Order and their master Thanos flooded into Joey's mind as she actively recalled them.
The superstars who witnessed these scenes experienced them firsthand, seeing nothing but swift, decisive, and merciless carnage.
First Proxima Midnight, then Corvus Glaive; after the splattered flesh and charred corpses, the supergiant witnessed an even more horrific and shocking scene—
This incredible sight turned her face deathly pale with fright, even though she had always believed that Thanos was almost invincible.
She finally understood why Superman would allow her to spy on his memories.
What good would it do for a group of dying people to know all his secrets?
