Marvel Infinity Talent - Chapter 169

Originally, everyone was praising General Proxima Midnight for his fearlessness and refusal to reveal information about his allegiance.

Although he was their adversary, such an opponent was undoubtedly worthy of respect.

However, with Wang Yang’s statement and General Proxima Midnight’s reaction, something seemed off.

Wang Yang was willing to let them go, but General Proxima Midnight was willing to face death? It was clear that he was trying to cover up something.

And it seemed to be related to his weapon.

To give up his life for a weapon?

“I just fancy your Peerless Blade!”

Wang Yang smiled faintly, then waved his hand. Magical chains swept out and directly entangled the Peerless Blade in General Proxima Midnight’s hand.

Although General Proxima Midnight tried to stop it, he clearly couldn’t resist.

The Peerless Blade in his hand flew out and was caught by Wang Yang.

“What are you doing?”

General Proxima Midnight suppressed the anger in his heart and said with some resentment, “I can repay everything we’ve done. Please return my weapon; it’s crafted from countless materials!”

Although General Proxima Midnight suppressed his nervousness and found an excuse, claiming that the weapon was made from numerous treasures, there was still a feeling of being caught red-handed.

Wang Yang ignored him and instead looked at the spear in his hand.

This peculiar-looking weapon contained a powerful force, unlike any Earthly weapon.

No wonder it could easily pierce through Vision’s body.

“You can leave. We know that you were forced by Thanos to come to Earth this time. If Thanos comes to Earth, we will take it back from him!”

Wang Yang held the spear in one hand and gestured, indicating that General Proxima Midnight and Night Neighbouring Star could leave. Initially, the members of the Avengers wouldn’t have allowed them to leave so easily, but now…

Apparently, there was some reason, and with Wang Yang’s current strength, they had no reason to object.

At this moment, General Proxima Midnight and Night Neighbouring Star looked at each other. They naturally knew what the weapon meant.

If they left with Wang Yang holding the Peerless Blade, it would be a ticking time bomb for General Proxima Midnight. Wang Yang might destroy the weapon at any time.

Maybe the next time, Night Neighbouring Star might not be so lucky.

Perhaps others didn’t know, but he truly saw it.

In front of him, Wang Yang had clearly identified his weakness. Otherwise, he wouldn’t act like this.

In this case, letting them leave like this was impossible.

He could only ask in a gloomy tone, “What do you want?”

“Nothing. Just tell me Thanos’s plan, and that will be enough!”

Wang Yang looked at General Proxima Midnight with a half-smile.

Hearing Wang Yang’s words, General Proxima Midnight’s expression became even more gloomy.

Thanos was definitely not someone to mess with.

But if he didn’t answer now, he might not wait for Thanos to deal with him; he would already be dead.

“He is currently collecting Infinity Stones. Now he has two in his hands!”

“As long as we snatch the other stones, he will wipe out the entire universe!”

Regarding the invasion of Earth, it was only for the stones.

“Now, since we can’t get the stones, Thanos will likely invade Earth soon!”

General Proxima Midnight wasn’t really loyal to Thanos, especially after his own life was threatened.

As for Thanos’s plan, army deployment, and strength, he revealed everything.

Compared to Night Neighbouring Star, General Proxima Midnight’s betrayal wasn’t surprising.

“You actually betrayed Lord Thanos!”

Although Night Neighbouring Star was General Proxima Midnight’s wife, she would never betray Thanos. Otherwise, Thanos wouldn’t have personally forged a weapon for her.

Now, hearing that General Proxima Midnight had betrayed Thanos, she was furious.

The weapon in her hand thrust towards General Proxima Midnight when he was about to get close. However, just as the weapon approached General Proxima Midnight, Wang Yang blocked it.

“He still has value and can’t die yet!”

Wang Yang’s powerful mental strength enveloped Night Neighbouring Star. Even stepping back was impossible, as if the entire air had solidified.

At this moment, with General Proxima Midnight betraying Thanos, the members of the Avengers around were stunned.

Especially Captain America.

The resolute expression on his face showed shock.

Originally, they thought General Proxima Midnight was a man who preferred death over submission. They never expected him to betray Thanos so easily, shocking their worldviews.

“Captain, now you understand. The universe is not as simple as Earth. There are many things that are not as straightforward as you think!”

Wang Yang slowly spoke.

“The reason he was so willing to die just now was because his body could regenerate, or rather, this weapon is his true form. As long as this weapon isn’t destroyed, General Proxima Midnight will be reborn!”

Wang Yang swung the weapon in his hand.

Hearing this, Captain America couldn’t help but wryly smile. He now understood that General Proxima Midnight’s reluctance to speak wasn’t because he wasn’t afraid of death, but because there was no real threat to his true form.

And just now, Wang Yang even said he would return the weapon to General Proxima Midnight.

It felt like being sold and still counting the money to the buyer.

After all, these people had killed quite a few on Earth.

“It seems I didn’t think it through!”

Captain America sighed.

“No need to be like this; just consider it in the future!”

Wang Yang smiled and said.

The expressions of the other Avengers members were also somewhat complicated, especially Tony Stark.

Since childhood, he considered himself a genius with superior intelligence.

So far, he had always believed he was a genius, which was why he could create such powerful armor.

However, now that he saw Wang Yang, he felt that his armor wasn’t that powerful, and recently, it seemed that his intelligence couldn’t match others.

Tony had a feeling of returning to being an ordinary person, and it didn’t feel good.

Other people also never expected that General Proxima Midnight had such a bizarre method—his body would revive as long as the weapon wasn’t destroyed.

This time, Wang Yang really gained some insights.

He had no idea what the people present were thinking at the moment. He looked at the General Proxima Midnight in front of him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If he really wanted to make a move, the opponent would have died long ago. Killing General Proxima Midnight was much easier than killing Ebony Maw.

However, as a terrifying warlord who might have collected all the Infinity Stones, Thanos, Wang Yang naturally wanted to gather some stable information.

Compared to Ebony Maw and the simple-minded Black Dwarf, General Proxima Midnight undoubtedly knew more. The key was that General Proxima Midnight was not a blindly loyal follower.

He merely worked under Thanos because Thanos was powerful. If another force surpassed Thanos, he might switch sides.

On the other hand, Night Neighbouring Star was genuinely loyal. Even if she died, she would still want to serve loyally. Even if her husband betrayed her, she still wanted to remain loyal to Thanos.

Of course, Night Neighbouring Star might also be under surveillance by Thanos. The possibility was high; how could a warlord not know the situation of his subordinates?

In any case, General Proxima Midnight was undoubtedly the best breakthrough point.

As expected, in a life-threatening situation, General Proxima Midnight didn’t hesitate and directly betrayed Thanos.

If he knew exactly how Thanos planned things, General Proxima Midnight might have spilled even more details. Unfortunately, he didn’t know Thanos’s exact thoughts. Otherwise, General Proxima Midnight might have revealed everything.

General Proxima Midnight opened his mouth and, without hesitation, told Wang Yang everything he knew. Then, he looked at Wang Yang and said, “Spare my life. I’ve already told you everything I know. With my strength, I can help you deal with Thanos!”

General Proxima Midnight, a member of Thanos’s Black Order, had actually betrayed Thanos. This wasn’t surprising. In the comics, General Proxima Midnight rebelled against Thanos, took over Thanos’s army, and seized Thanos’s position.

Now, to save his own life, turning against Thanos wasn’t unexpected.

Although General Proxima Midnight wasn’t a good person, he was undoubtedly a smart one. He naturally knew that begging for mercy was useless. To survive, he had to show his value.

“And Thanos’s army also has my people. I can lead them in rebellion!”

“Give me one day. I guarantee that these troops will appear here!”

General Proxima Midnight looked at Wang Yang with unwavering determination, hoping Wang Yang would give him a chance.

However, it couldn’t be denied that General Proxima Midnight was a natural opportunist. If Wang Yang gave him a chance, he believed there would be a third person who would make General Proxima Midnight submit.

Such a person could betray him at any time. Wang Yang naturally couldn’t afford to keep him.

He didn’t want to seek his own death.

“General Proxima, do you know what your biggest mistake was?”

Wang Yang slowly spoke.

General Proxima Midnight looked at Wang Yang in surprise.

Wang Yang continued, “You shouldn’t have invaded Earth, especially when dealing with Kama-Taj!”

“I know I was wrong, so I can help you against Thanos!”

General Proxima Midnight bowed his head, looking as if he had repented. However, in reality, such a person was most skilled at hiding his true intentions. If given a chance, he would undoubtedly betray Wang Yang.

More importantly, he believed that at this critical moment, Wang Yang wouldn’t kill him. After all, he was a significant help.

Earthlings couldn’t deal with Thanos. With his army, the odds would be improved.

So, as long as he submitted, Wang Yang, for the greater good, would definitely not kill him.

“You’re mistaken!”

Wang Yang suddenly shook his head and said, “I don’t need your help!”
