As Loki suddenly pulled out the dagger that had penetrated Strange's chest, the magic rope binding Thanos' arm also disappeared without a trace...

A handful of blood spurted out from Strange's mouth... This sword penetrated his chest. Strange, who was once a surgeon, knew very well that this was a fatal injury. If no one gave him first aid, he would not be able to survive at all.

If there is no chance of survival, death will find him within half an hour!

But now... no one will come to take care of him at all, and his death is already a certainty.

Thinking of this, Strange stretched out his hand and grabbed the pendant hanging on his chest. His eyes were fixed on Loki who had come to him with a look of contempt on his face...

"You will... you will definitely pay the price for this! Do you think... Ashes will let you go? He has long... wanted to kill you!"

Looking at Strange, who looked angry, Loki lightly shrugged, and then said with contempt, "We have to wait until he comes back from somewhere~ Okay, stop talking nonsense."

, save your breath!”

After saying this, Loki stretched out his hand and grabbed the Eye of Agamotto that Strange held tightly in his hand, but he couldn't pull it off...

"As long as I'm alive, don't try to take it away from me! Bah!" A mouthful of blood spat out on Loki's face. Strange clutched the Eye of Agamotto and stared closely at it.

With Loki…

Without avoiding the blood spat out by Strange, Loki raised his hand and wiped the blood from his face, frowned deeply, and suddenly raised the blood-stained dagger in his hand and jerked it.

With a swing, Strange's arm was cut off!

Loki took out the Eye of Agamotto containing the Time Stone from the palm that Strange had thrown aside. Loki arranged his clothes, held the Eye of Agamotto in both hands, and walked slowly towards the main station not far away.

Thanos took the Mind Stone from Vision's eyebrow...

"Great Thanos, congratulations. With this, you have four... no, it should be five Infinity Stones in your hands! You are only one step away from victory...!"

Thanos took off the Mind Stone and threw Vision, who had turned into a simple mechanical body, to his feet. After doing this, Thanos turned his head and glanced at Loki, who was half-kneeling at his feet.

, nodded slightly and said, "Indeed... there is only the last one left, but this last one will be very troublesome. After all, it is protected by him personally, and this last step will be the most difficult one to take!"

"

After finishing speaking, Thanos looked around and looked at the motionless members of the Guardians of the Galaxy lying on the ground around him, as well as Strange, who was still alive. He took a deep breath, slowly turned his head and said lightly.

"Let's go, we should go back."

After speaking, Thanos shook his wrist and once again opened the portal to Temple 2...

Looking at Thanos who was about to leave, Loki tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Great Thanos, these remaining people... don't need to take their lives? Maybe it will be better to keep them alive."

It's trouble, I can do it for you..."

Thanos turned his head and glanced at the respectful Loki behind him, and gently shook his head, "No, there is no need to care about them."

After speaking, Thanos walked straight into the portal. Looking at the portal in front of him, a mysterious smile appeared on Loki's lips.

He turned his head and glanced at Strange, who was staring at him from a short distance away with anger in his eyes. He lightly shrugged and entered the portal...

…

Back in Temple No. 2, Loki immediately saw Gamora sitting motionless on the steps with her knees in her arms...

Is this giving up? Or are you afraid?

Just when Loki was confused, Thanos walked over without saying a word, slowly sat down next to Gamora, stretched out his hand to Gamora who was hugging his knees, and dealt with it carefully.

He straightened her somewhat messy long red hair and lowered his voice and said, "Little guy, aren't you happy for me? I will be able to realize my wish soon..."

Gamora, who was motionless at first, raised her head, stared blankly at Thanos sitting next to her, took a deep breath and asked, "You killed them... you..."

Before Gamora could finish speaking, Thanos shook his head slightly and said, "No, I spared their lives, not for anything else, just because of you, little guy... I spared you for your sake."

friend’s life.”

Gamora, who was originally blind-eyed, tensed up and looked at Thanos in disbelief, but after she saw the four infinity stones inlaid on Thanos' gloves, her eyes once again had a glimmer of light.

It dimmed...

Continuing to hug her legs, Gamora said calmly, "I know why, because you want to know the whereabouts of the soul gems from me, but... I don't know anything. It doesn't matter whether you kill them or not.

I still don’t know anything.”

Thanos chuckled lightly, reached out and patted Gamora on the head, and said calmly, "There are many ways to get you to reveal the whereabouts of the Soul Stone. I am not going to use this method..."

After speaking, Thanos raised his head and said calmly to Loki, who was standing motionless not far away, "Go prepare that."

Loki nodded gently, with a weird smile on his face, and walked out step by step. After leaving the room where Thanos was, Loki lowered his head and looked at the dagger he had been holding in his hand.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...

What Thanos asked him to prepare was none other than Nebula, which he had thrown into prison before... Thanos was going to use this cyborg named Nebula to threaten Gamora, just because they were both Thanos.

Adopted adopted daughter…

Arriving in front of the cell door, Loki opened the thick iron door in front of him. Looking at Nebula who was still paralyzed on the ground behind the door, unable to move, he chuckled and said, "I'll tell you some good news. Your father is back and he's still here."

I brought back your sister who ran away from home~"

Nebula, who was lying motionless on the ground, heard these words, suddenly raised his head, looked at Loki standing in front of him in shock, opened his mouth slightly, and then shouted sharply, "Thanos."

Caught her back? Damn it...why didn't she find a place to hide it! Damn it! Let me ask you! How many Infinity Stones does Thanos have now?"

Looking at Nebula with a very bad attitude, Loki shook his head gently and said, "They will be here soon. Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

While talking, Loki walked to the console next to him and slowly lifted up Nebula who was lying on the ground... Then he turned his head, smiled at Nebula who didn't know what he was thinking about, and said, "What if

If you don’t want your sister to speak, you’d better keep your teeth tight~ although I don’t think you can do that!”

Just as they were talking, the blue portal suddenly appeared next to Nebula and Loki. Loki, who had just arranged all this, slowly turned around, bowed down respectfully, and waited for Thanos.

Coming out of the portal...

Without keeping them waiting, Thanos quickly dragged Gamora, who was resisting, out of the portal...

Gamora, who was still struggling at first, saw Nebula hanging in mid-air with her body almost dismantled. She stopped struggling and rushed towards Nebula. Thanos let go of his hand and

Let her rush over...

"No...Nebula, what did he do to you!"

Nebula glanced at the four Infinity Stones inlaid on Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes, then turned her head with difficulty, looked at Gamora and said with a serious face, "Don't say anything...

!Nothing…can’t be said!”

Thanos, who was standing behind the two sisters, walked slowly to their side, looked at Nebula hanging in the air and said lightly, "Some time ago, your sister sneaked into the spaceship and wanted to assassinate me... and she was very close.

Success, so I brought her here and had a good chat with her, now...it's your turn, little one."

Gamora trembled, turned her head and looked at Thanos standing behind her, took a deep breath and said, "No...I want to disappoint you. I've already told you, I don't know anything.

I didn’t find the soul gem you wanted at all! I swear to God!”

Thanos sighed with some disappointment, shook his head, looked at Gamora and said calmly, "I taught you to be strong, I taught you perseverance, I taught you generosity... but I never taught you to lie, so... you

Don’t know anything about this!”

Having said this, Thanos raised his hand and clenched his fist. The light of the Infinity Stones flashed, and a burst of electric sparks instantly appeared on Nebula's broken body hanging in the air!

Amid Nebula's screams and wails, Thanos lowered his head and looked at Gamora and asked, "Where is the Soul Stone...?"

Although Nebula was in immense pain and couldn't suppress her wails at all, her head, which was already difficult to control, was still shaking with difficulty!

This made Gamora even more painful. He knew Thanos. If Thanos didn't want Nebula to die, she wouldn't die, but this also meant that he could torture her endlessly, right in front of him...for a moment.

He kept torturing her until he spoke!

Thanos knew how to make himself suffer, and he also had the time and patience to implement it... When he thought of this, Gamora turned his head away, not daring to look at the nebula hanging in the air...

But the wailing sound that seemed to pierce her soul still echoed in Gamora's ears, and she couldn't escape at all!

"Stop...stop...please!"

"Where is the Soul Stone?"

"I...I don't know...I really..."

"Lie." The torture inflicted on Nebula became more intense, and the wailing sound became even more unbearable for Gamora...

Looking at Gamora who lowered her head with a look of pain, Thanos continued to ask in a calm tone, "Where is the Soul Stone...?"

"Vormir! The Soul Stone...is in Vormir..."

A short sentence, a sentence that could be said in one breath seemed to have exhausted all the strength in Gamora's body.

After hearing Gamora's words, Thanos finally let go of his hand, and the torture he inflicted on Nebula also stopped...
