Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Marvel World, Asgard.

Lucas, who brought Thor back here, was warmly received by the God-King Odin. Looking at Thor, the God of Thunder, who was already able to control the divine power in his body, God-King Odin was very satisfied.

Regarding Thor's request to restore Mjolnir to its original state, God-King Odin resolutely stated that this would not work and told Thor that he needed such a strict teacher to urge him to practice.

The kindness of the one-eyed old father moved Thor to tears. He hugged Odin's thigh tenderly and cried until the moved Loki stepped forward and pulled him away.

Odin told Lucas about the situation: "Sorcerer Supreme, I have bad news for you. The mad Titan Thanos has obtained the second Infinity Stone – the Soul Stone, and the Infinity Stones in our hands are his targets."

Lucas was surprised: "Thanos got the Soul Stone? He moves so fast! Who told him about the Soul Stone?"

Odin shook his head and said, "I don't know! When he attacked Asgard a few days ago, there were two Infinity Gems on his Infinity Gauntlet."

Lucas asked unexpectedly, "You fight?"

Odin nodded and said: "Fortunately, I have a Reality Stone in my hand, otherwise I might not be able to fight him. If you want the Reality Stone, I can give it to you now, but you have to make sure to get rid of him immediately."

Lucas laughed: "No problem! You give me the Reality Stone, and I'll kill him. I've been wanting to experience what it's like to have six Infinity Stones in one."

Odin didn't talk nonsense and decisively handed the Reality Stone to Lucas. The fourth Infinity Stone appeared in Lucas's hand, and the powerful force made him eager to find an opponent to compete with.

The space in front of him was torn open. On the opposite side was a dark universe where a huge fleet could be vaguely seen, which was the dark sect led by Thanos.

Thanos, sitting on the floating chair, opened his eyes, looked at Lucas who appeared in front of him and sneered: "You actually came to me? Thank you for collecting all the other four Infinity Stones for me."

Lucas stared at the Soul Stone in Thanos' hands for a while, then said, "You sacrificed your daughter? You're a monster!"

Thanos' expression suddenly froze, and he said slowly: "All of this is for the realization of my ideal, and all of this is for the future of the entire universe. You should not stop me. I am inevitable."

Howard Stark: Group Leader, what do you think of Thanos sacrificing his daughter?

Lucas: In order to get the Soul Stone, you must exchange soul for soul. Only by handing over the soul of the person you love the most can the Soul Stone appear.

Uchiha Madara: In other words, Thanos gave up his beloved in order to realize his ideals? The Group Leader is right, this is indeed a monster.

Lucas: Uchiha Madara, you are far worse than Thanos when it comes to giving and sacrificing for your ideals. Of course, Hashirama is the same. If you were asked to sacrifice your loved ones, you probably wouldn't do it.

Howard Stark: I really didn't expect that this tyrant who deliberately wanted to kill half of the universe's population would have love?

Lucas: In the original future, the daughter who was sacrificed by him also thought so. Because she was not Thanos' biological daughter, but adopted by Thanos. Thanos killed half population of her planet, then he made her his adopted daughter.

Sebastian Shaw: Why does this operation give me a familiar feeling?

Howard Stark: Because you've done the same thing. I don't know what you guys think after killing their parents.

Sebastian Shaw: Because of cherishing talent, because of love, didn't you hear the Group Leader? That adopted daughter is Thanos' love.

Howard Stark: Group Leader, is Thanos treating that adopted daughter as a daughter? I always feel that something is wrong!

Lucas: Howard, what's your take on Thanos? He's a man driven by a grand, twisted sense of love—so much so that he doesn't bother with personal matters like his children's feelings. Gamora, his adopted daughter whom he sacrificed, saw him as someone completely devoid of love... but in his mind, it was all for a greater purpose.

Uchiha Shisui: Gamora felt that there was no love in Thanos' heart, but when she turned her head, she realized that the love in Thanos' heart was herself. I really don't know what kind of thoughts she would have had.

Gengetsu Hōzuki: It doesn't matter what she thought, she was sacrificed anyway.

Lucas: I suddenly had an idea, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to practice it. At least in this universe, I didn't have the chance to practice it.

Outside world:

Lucas looked at Thanos and asked with a serious face: "Thanos, have you ever thought about letting someone else collect Soul stones for you? For example, tell others how to get Soul stones, and let others sacrifice their loved ones. The gem appears, and then you grab the Soul stone."

Thanos' big indifferent purple face twitched, his eyelids suddenly jumping wildly. Obviously, Lucas's statement concerned him greatly.

Yes indeed!

Soul stones can only appear by exchanging souls for souls, but it doesn't mean that Soul stones can't be taken away by others after they appear! If you let other people sacrifice to get the soul stone, then he can snatch it afterward!

Thanos suddenly felt a twinge of sorrow.

In his excitement back then, he hadn't even considered another way.

Silently, he began to replay everything in his heart—the thrill of discovering the Soul Stone's location, followed by the crushing realization of what was required to obtain it. The overwhelming rush of joy and despair had blurred his judgment, leaving him lost in the storm of conflicting emotions.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Lucas narrowed his eyes. "What, are you afraid that if someone else gets the Soul Stone, it'll give me the chance to take it from them?"

Thanos remained silent, prompting Lucas to continue his analysis aloud.

In the original timeline, Thanos didn't rely on others to collect the Soul Stone for him. That could be attributed to the urgency of his quest—after all, the movie only had so much runtime, and Director Thanos was always moving fast, constantly in pursuit of the next gem.

But now? With a powerful rival like Lucas standing in his way—and already holding three Infinity Stones—there was still a chance. If someone else acquired the Soul Stone first, Lucas might just seize the opportunity to take it for himself.

BOOM!

Suddenly, Lucas felt that his soul and will were attacked. He quickly pushed the power of the Infinity Stones against Thanos's Infinity Stones, stabilizing his disordered will and the soul that was about to break out of his body.

Looking up, Lucas saw the twin glints of power shimmering on the Infinity Gauntlet worn by Thanos—two Infinity Stones, pulsing with energy.

Thanos, that insidious bastard, had actually launched a sneak attack on him.

Despicable.

"So it's just as I thought," Thanos said coldly, eyes narrowing. "The will-based instability in your body... it's gone."

His expression grew even darker. The odds were no longer in his favor, and he knew it.

Lucas let out a low chuckle.

"Of course it's gone. Once I realized the flaw, do you think I'd just leave it there? Now that I've dealt with that weakness, your precious Soul Stone isn't nearly as effective."

Without the chaos of divided will inside him, Lucas was no longer vulnerable to soul-based interference. And now, with four Infinity Stones in his possession, Thanos's two no longer gave him the upper hand.

Thanos snorted sharply. The Soul Stone still amplified his soul power, increasing his energy reserves and boosting his magic output. It also weakened Lucas's spiritual core, aiming to disrupt the flow of his magic. At the same time, the Mind Stone granted Thanos unwavering willpower—fortifying his mental focus, sharpening his resolve, and allowing him to operate at peak condition.

He even attempted to erode Lucas's will, trying to push him into a mental state of hopelessness—into surrender.

But Lucas stood firm.

"It's useless."

His gaze was unwavering.

"I'm not someone you can sway that easily anymore."

Lucas's eyes instantly turned blood red. Nine jet-black tomoe appeared in his eyes, and a powerful spiritual force burst out from his body.

At the same time, the magic power from the world of Jackie Chan's adventures was also boiling continuously in his body, strongly cracking the suppression of the magic power in his body by the Soul stone.

At this moment, the Infinity Stones glowed together, and the overwhelming momentum rushed towards Thanos, making his big purple face very ugly.

BOOM!

Just when Lucas and Thanos were fighting fiercely, a brilliant flame was burning in the depths of the distant universe, and a Phoenix Nest composed of spiritual flames flew quickly toward them.

"Phoenix Force!"

Lucas's eyes narrowed, and he quickly understood what was going on.

In the chat group:

Howard Stark: What's up with that gorgeous bird? It makes me feel like my soul is burning.

Lucas: That is the power of the Phoenix, a powerful energy that came from the primordial universe and was born at the beginning of all things. Fortunately, it is only a fragment of the Phoenix power, otherwise the six Infinity Stones in this universe would not be enough to fight it.

Uchiha Madara: Has a more powerful enemy appeared? Group Leader, maybe you need to cooperate with Thanos.

Lucas: No, I have to deal with Thanos as soon as possible! The Phoenix force in the distance doesn't have much self-awareness. It is more like a mass of pure energy. It should be attracted by the powerful soul power and spiritual force of Thanos. We absolutely cannot let Thanos get the power of the Phoenix.

Lucas from the outside roared, bursting out with all his strength, and frantically launched an attack on Thanos. Thanos seemed to sense the call of the power of the Phoenix, with ecstasy in his eyes, and fought desperately with Lucas.

Although Thanos was not Lucas's opponent, he stubbornly resisted Lucas's attack.

The Phoenix Force was near!
