Reborn from Conan

Chapter 1016 Substituting one thing for another
The gushing blood covered half of the arena.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground seemed to coincide with the heartbeats of the Thanos, and the surroundings became quiet for a moment.

At this point in the ring, many Thanos have been injured, some with broken bones and tendons, and some with broken limbs. In order to fight for the Infinity Gauntlet, the Thanos have never shown mercy, but because they are very familiar with each other, no Thanos has been killed by the opponent in the ring so far.

There is now.

The head of Thanos from Universe 2407 rolled twice on the stage, his eyes wide open, staring at Ji Xing and the other six 'judges'.

18500 Universe Thanos was also in a bad condition, covered in blood, dragging his left leg limply, with his sword resting on the ground, a ferocious smile on his face.

The murderous intent that had just killed the opponent was not restrained, and it rushed straight towards Ji Xing and the other six people, full of malice.

Except for Ji Xing, the other five Thanos all looked unhappy. As Thanos who were able to collect all the Infinity Stones and possessed the Infinity Gauntlet, they were naturally the best among the Thanos.

Whether in terms of scheming or force, they were at the top, so even if they had to compete with Thanos ranked 54 to 60, they were reluctant but never panicked. But Thanos of Universe 18500 was an accident, and the sight of Thanos of Universe 2407 being killed also hit them hard!

Damn it! Could there be someone among these bastards who is hiding something and plotting against us? We shouldn't have agreed to 922's proposal. He is the same lunatic as 616. He could have sat back and enjoyed himself until the end, but he chose to take the risk!
"Go on."

At this time, there was a whistling sound of wind, and the Infinity Glove that was taken off by Thanos from the 2407 universe was thrown to the ring by Ji Xing. For a moment, all the Thanos' eyes followed it, but no one dared to intercept it, and let the 18500 Thanos catch the glove.

He grinned even more fiercely, put on his gloves, and snapped his fingers. Under the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, the local time went back, his own injuries healed quickly, and the Thanos of Universe 2407, who he had killed by beheading him, also returned to his original state!

In fact, Thanos in the 2407 universe is not dead either. After all, now is the time when the order of death collapses.

It's just that his head was chopped off and he suffered fatal injuries. He fell into a state of neither life nor death. He could know what was happening in the outside world, but he couldn't speak. His head was full of polyhedral rap.

He was ready to accept the transformation and kill all these bastards, but he didn't expect to be saved by the guy who defeated him. He stretched his body, glared at 18500 Thanos, but he couldn't say anything and walked off the stage.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Ji Xing and the other six glove Thanos, but it is conceivable that from the strongest man who was high above, to the current situation, he was eliminated and was full of malice towards the six people, at least towards Ji Xing, but he was unable to retaliate at the moment.

18500 Thanos walked among Ji Xing and the others, without interacting with Ji Xing, and just said calmly: "You can continue now."

继续……799、1085、5523、9796、105681五宇宙的灭霸彼此对视，倒拿出了灭霸的霸气。

"continue!"

At this point, it is not impossible to change the rules. Having the Infinity Gauntlet is equivalent to holding a nuclear weapon and having a "veto power". But what should we do next? Turn this ring match into a farce, and not let the top 616 get the Infinity Gauntlet, waiting to be killed by ?
If the gloves were distributed, there would be more than just them who had nuclear weapons. If they refused to compete on stage, they would only be targeted by those guys, which would make them look cowardly! What's more, there were... Two Thanos glanced at Ji Xing obscurely.

The competition continued, and the next to appear was Thanos from Universe 55, who ranked 1995th. After careful consideration, he chose to challenge Thanos from Universe 105681. Logically speaking, the development of universes ranked after would deviate more from their universes.

This is indeed what we have seen before. It is difficult for the universes numbered after 10 and those Thanos who don’t even know the numbers of their own universes to win in the ring.

But he was very unfortunate, because Thanos from the 105681 universe was a special case, and he was defeated almost with overwhelming force!

This helped the original glove Thanos group to win back a victory, and subsequent battles also proved that they were able to obtain the Infinity Gauntlet and were indeed very powerful.

For five consecutive games, the glove Thanos won, and from the 55th to the 59th place, no Thanos challenged successfully, leaving only the 60th place.

And there is only one Glove Thanos left that he can challenge - Ji Xing.

Yes, until now there has been no Thanos challenging Ji Xing, after all, they are all very smart.

The fact that 18500 Thanos did not challenge Ji Xing has already explained a lot. As long as he feels that he has even the slightest chance of winning, he will not give up the opportunity for revenge and challenge 2407!

In other words, 922, the guy who originally did not collect a single gem, did not do so because he was incompetent, but because his own strength was extremely strong and he could become the overlord without any gems!
Plus, with his "domineering" appearance, who would go through the trouble for others?

But the 60 Thanos who was ranked 28557th had no choice.

He is an elderly Thanos, who looks at least 70 years old in human terms. His physique is not as good as those of the middle-aged Thanos, but he has plenty of experience and is almost the most proficient in magic among all the Thanos.

He was at a disadvantage because he couldn't plan for the ring battle in advance and couldn't use magic equipment.

He stood in the center of the ring, and Ji Xing, who was in the first position, took off his gloves. However, he did not give them to the other six Thanos for safekeeping. Instead, he stuffed them into the hands of the champion who was the referee.

The champion raised his eyebrows in surprise, and two glove Thanos had an obscure light in their eyes as they watched Ji Xing walk onto the stage.

The elderly Thanos smiled slightly.

"I admire you very much, Universe 922." He started to communicate with Ji Xing: "You have raised our chance of winning against that lunatic from Universe 616 from 0 to 50%, or even higher."

"It's just for my own benefit." Ji Xing said, "Do you want to admit defeat?"

"Give up? Yes, I know I am afraid I am not your opponent. Even 18500 dare not challenge you." The old Thanos said: "But from the moment you took off your gloves and stepped onto the ring, you have already lost. Look-"

He gestured behind Ji Xing, and Ji Xing looked back without worrying about his sneak attack.

He saw that the six glove Thanos including 18500 had stood up from their seats, looking at him without any kindness, with the glove energy ready to go.

The surrounding Thanos all looked at this place indifferently.

"Don't underestimate our malice!"

The old Thanos laughed, emphasizing the word "we", and also included Ji Xing. As Thanos, they can "become friends" in some cases!
You did a good job before, forcing everyone to work together and increasing the chances of winning against the 616 universe Thanos. But now, we no longer need you as a "leader"!

On the contrary, your presence will make everyone feel uneasy and cause us to have concerns.

Only your death can bring this ring match to a perfect end!

Faced with this situation, Ji Xing just sneered and said, "Do you think I have never guessed this possibility?"

The old Thanos on the opposite side was stunned, and the six glove Thanos looked even more serious, and looked at the Infinity Gauntlet on the champion's hand as if to confirm.

That look seemed to make the champion feel a little uneasy. He put on the Infinity Gauntlet and asked, "What do you want to do? The rules of the ring match cannot be broken!"

This action made the Thanos frown. No matter who among them had the Infinity Gauntlet, it was still theirs and belonged to them.

The champion's actions made them unhappy, but that was not their focus at the moment.

Is there any other backup plan for 922?

"Don't worry, no matter what tricks I have, they can't fight against that glove." Ji Xing said, "Go ahead."

"..."

Looking at Ji Xing standing there calmly, the Thanos were silent for a while.

With a snap, the fingers snapped.

The source was Thanos from the 18500 universe, and then the terrifying energy of the Infinity Gauntlet enveloped Ji Xing, destroying every cell of his!

"It's all in vain after all." Ji Xing's colder voice echoed in every Thanos' mind: "You don't even have the courage to tolerate me for a little longer, and you don't hesitate to break the rules at the end of the ring match, making each other suspicious and wary... Just based on you, you want to win against 616 lunatics?!

I will be watching you from the sky, watching you all being hunted down by the 616 lunatics!"

As he spoke, Ji Xing's body weathered away, and his words left a little haze in the hearts of every Thanos, but it had already been done, so naturally the Thanos could not regret it!

18500 Thanos didn’t feel like he had gotten any revenge, and even felt it was a bit absurd.

Watching us from heaven?

Do you still think there is a heaven?
The next moment, the Thanos felt that they were visually polluted. The weathering '922 Thanos' suddenly expanded and turned into an extremely evil, bloated tentacle monster!
The hundreds of Thanos present felt that their minds were polluted, their brains were confused, and they were unable to move. When those Thanos with gloves regained consciousness with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, the tentacle monster had bounced several times and disappeared into the space!
In an instant, the six infinite gloves captured the past, but all of them were gone. In this short moment, Ji Xing had disappeared without a trace!
Several people looked unhappy. This guy actually had a connection with those weird polyhedrons? How audacious! Even if they had the Infinity Gauntlet and were stronger than those polyhedrons, they would not dare to come into contact with them casually!

"Damn..."

"He escaped..."

Although they cursed in their mouths, the Thanoses felt that 922 Thanos who had come into contact with the Polyhedron was no longer a concern, and it was even unclear whether he could retain his complete consciousness!

So next...

"Damn it! Where's the champion?!"

A startled shout rang out, and the faces of the Thanos were really gloomy this time. Because taking advantage of the chaos caused by Ji Xing, the Champion of the Elders of the Universe disappeared from their side without knowing when.

Wearing an Infinity Glove!
The six Thanos snapped their fingers at the same time, mobilizing the power of the Time Stone to go back, but found that they were interfered with and failed.

This proves that the champion's disappearance was not 'accidental' but premeditated. This seemingly straightforward warrior really escaped with the Infinity Gauntlet!
"Chase!"

The six glove Thanos immediately used the power of the glove to fly into space and scattered in all directions, searching for the trace of the champion, but... they found nothing!
Why is this happening? Most of them have come into contact with the Champion, and they don't think that the Champion is someone who can play tricks. Could it be that the Champion of this universe has become a cunning guy due to some unknown factors, and has been eyeing the Infinity Gauntlet since he came here? Or... this guy has been Thanos's man from the beginning? !
Instead, the Thanos believed the first one more, because the temptation of the Infinity Gauntlet was too strong. If the champion was cooperating with 922 Thanos, how could 922 Thanos dare to believe him? !

They were scattered in low-Earth orbit, patrolling in all directions. The power of the Infinity Gauntlet had been stimulated to the extreme, but they could not find any trace of the champion.

Just as they were filled with impotent rage, suddenly a terrifying feeling of oppression descended upon them, clearing their minds.

The barrier connecting the universe exploded, and a figure like a god or demon crossed the channel and descended. Endless cracks swallowed the starry sky, and the six people felt that their opportunity was locked!
“…Here they are?!”

It’s Thanos from the 616 universe!
“Hahahaha… only six guys with the Infinity Gauntlet have gathered here? Compared to the 6 universe, there are still three less!”

His tone was disdainful, and his words also revealed a lot of things. However, the six glove Thanos were temporarily not interested in those things, because the sense of oppression coming from the 616 universe Thanos was much stronger than they expected!
So they quickly reached a consensus.

The power of the Infinity Gauntlet was activated, but instead of attacking Thanos in the 616 Universe, it was directed towards the Earth.

Those Thanos who ranked at the top immediately received the Infinity Gauntlet that was made in an expedited manner, and the extra gems were also distributed!
After obtaining these things, of course Thanos wanted to leave temporarily through the cosmic channel, and come back later to reap the benefits, but he found that Deadpool had disappeared and the channel had been destroyed.

There is no escape, no avoidance.

Only one battle!
The winner lives, the loser dies.

So one by one the Thanos rose into space and appeared in front of the Thanos of the 616 universe!
616 Universe Thanos was still arrogant and disdainful at first, but his smile gradually froze on his face - what's going on, so many? !
He gradually became serious and hummed, "It seems that there are one or two extraordinary guys among you. Who are they? Let me see."

See? The Thanos also want to see where 922 Thanos ran to, and where the champion ran to, causing them to lose an Infinity Gauntlet!
Not too far from here is Thanos' hometown, Titan. Ji Xing, who escaped from the earth in a polyhedron, appeared here, sensing the breath in the starry sky, and took over the Infinity Gauntlet from the Champion of the Elders of the Universe.

No, he was not the Universe Elder Champion from the beginning! The Champion was killed by Ji Xing the moment he arrived on Earth and met Ji Xing! All the subsequent ring matches and battles were directed and performed by Ji Xing himself!

After one trick of replacing one thing with another, Ji Xing successfully escaped from the front battlefield and caused great trouble for 616 Thanos, which could consume his physical energy or even kill him!

Next, let’s see how this battle develops.
