233. Chapter 231 Gorri VS Thanos!
233.
After immobilizing Corvus Glaive, Gorri glanced at the scene with an uncertain expression.
The reason why Gorri chose to restrain Corvus Glaive instead of killing him was that, firstly, he wanted to avoid the mistake he made during the Dark Night Proxima—he was killed by accident and could not be interrogated alive. Secondly, Gorri was indeed surprised that Corvus Glaive appeared here.
Gorri, who had watched the intelligence sent by Zeya, still remembered that this guy was not an enemy of the Victory Team before? How did he get here without the Victory Team?
This shouldn’t be the case… After all, Gorri’s judgment at the time was that the Victory Team had an absolute advantage, and it was only a matter of time to kill the two enemies on the opposite side. It was impossible to be so careless as to let one of them go.
Because the battle between the Victory Team and Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw was very fierce at that time, the surrounding monitoring equipment had long been destroyed under the residual power, so no one could see the resurrection process of Corvus Glaive.
As for why Gao Li looked so unhappy, it was mainly because the casualties of TPC were greater than Gao Li expected, or the Obsidian Five were even stronger than he expected.
If there were no vanguards like the Victory Team or superheroes to resist, they could have crushed the army so much!
This couldn’t be blamed on TPC being too weak. TPC was actually very strong, but they were not strong in infantry warfare or special operations, which were the areas that the Victory Team was responsible for.
TPC’s really powerful heavy firepower that could even fight monsters could not enter the core area of the base, and could not be used against highly mobile humanoid enemies like the Obsidian Five.
Otherwise, let alone anything else, just a Mags cannon hitting General Corvus Glaive head-on would have a destructive power that would absolutely completely exceed his self-healing ability and could kill him with one shot.
Even as the director of TPC, Gao Li would not consider using Time Memory to revive TPC personnel who were injured or killed in battle under normal circumstances.
The reason is very simple, there are two main reasons.
The first is the main reason – the timeline cannot withstand repeated manipulation. Gao Li can only go back for a short time. If he always goes back several times a day to save people, the timeline would have been broken by Gao Li.
The second is that TPC is the world’s largest military violence organization after all, with countless members. There are countless missions all over the world every day, and it can even be said that casualties may occur at any time.
If every TPC member has to be resurrected, Gao Li will not have to do anything and will have to go back in time every day.
In addition, the Time memory is extremely poorly compatible with Gao Li. In the past, he relied on the transformation of his physique to endure the side effects. If there are too many cumulative injuries, Gao Li may be finished before the timeline is finished.
The number of casualties in TPC this time is worth Gao Li’s time to go back to save people, but the problem is that he has to stop the conspiracy of the Black Obsidian Five Generals again.
Since Gao Li took action against the enemy at the first moment this time, there was no problem of time difference. Even if he did it again, Gao Li might not be able to do much better than this time.
So far, none of the Infinity Stones have been lost, and all the conspiracy actions of the Obsidian Five Generals were cut off by Gao Li before they succeeded. In general, Gao Li has the upper hand in strategy.
“If I do it again, maybe I can try to use the speed of the Super Kabuto? This way, I can get rid of the enemy faster, and then…”
While thinking, Gao Li took out the Time memory – when he had this idea, Gao Li had actually started to act instinctively.
Even if he might not do better than last time, at least he could save one more person, even if he could save one less TPC soldier, Gao Li felt that it was worth starting over.
“Time!”
Gao Li took out the Zone memory from the Lost Drive and planned to insert the Time memory.
At this moment, something strange happened!
At the location where the Time Stone and the Reality Stone were placed, the space was distorted and two figures emerged.
It was Thanos and Superstar!
Superstar had told General Corvus Glaive the exact location of the Infinity Stones before, so he could teleport Thanos here.
It was just that the timing was just right, it was too accurate.
It happened at the moment when Gowrie pulled out the Zone memory and had not yet replaced the Time memory!
At this moment, just like a martial arts master’s move, the old power was exhausted and the new power was not yet born. Gowrie could not fully exert the power of both the Zone memory and the Time memory.
According to the function configured by Gowrie for the Lost Drive, even if the memory is pulled out for a short time, the transformation will not be canceled, and a part of the power will still remain.
Otherwise, every time he uses the Ultimate Drive, the transformation will be canceled before the memory is inserted into the Kill Slot.
Just as Gowrie used the Time memory to freeze Ultron and the Iron Legion before quickly switching the drive, this principle of “residual ability” was adopted.
However, no matter how much residual ability there is, the memory still needs to be linked with the drive in essence-that is, it must be inserted into the device to exert the most complete effect!
Therefore, Gao Li was in an awkward position at this moment. He only had very basic functions in Zone memory and could not perform fancy operations like he did just now with a fixed space.
As for the Time memory, it was even worse. It only had some passive effects, and even the active attack methods could not be used.
——Although Gao Li had pressed the button of the Time memory and could activate the power in it to a certain extent, after all, the Lost Drive had not been inserted yet, and the compatibility between Time memory and Gao Li was not as high as that of Zone memory.
So the timing chosen by Super Giant was simply the best of the best!
“Is it a coincidence?! Impossible?”
Gao Li’s mind was racing, and he did not believe that there was such a coincidence, but things happened too fast for him to think carefully.
In fact, this was because Gao Li did not know Super Giant’s ability well enough before.
He was right, this was certainly not a coincidence!
Super Giant was an expert in mental ability. Not long ago, he had secretly connected himself with General Corvus Glaive.
Although General Corvus Glaive could not move, he was fixed by Gao Li’s spatial ability, not by his temporal ability. His mind was still running, and he could see the situation on the scene.
It was not the first time that Gao Li used the power of memory. In the intelligence collected earlier, they knew that Gao Li had such a technology to use the Infinity Stones!
This is why before the Black Order set out, Thanos specifically told the Earthlings to be able to use the power of the Infinity Stones.
No matter what the reason was, Thanos won a small victory after all, and reached out to grab the Time Stone without hesitation.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Gao Li was shocked and angry, and the Time memory had been inserted into the Lost Drive.
At the same time, Thanos also put the Time Stone into the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand!
“Time!”
“Um…!”
Gao Li completed the transformation, and Thanos gritted his teeth to endure the instantaneous impact caused by the loading of the Infinity Stones.
Then, Gao Li and Thanos made a move in a race against time.
Gao Li raised his hand to Thanos, and Thanos clenched his fist!
“Buzz–!”
This was the simultaneous activation of the power of the Time Stone by both parties, and the two emerald green force fields spread outward rapidly and collided fiercely!
There was almost no stalemate, and the emerald wave caused by Thanos took the upper hand, suppressing Gory’s emerald wave back and spreading to the whole field.
Although both the memory and the Infinity Gauntlet are technologies that use the power of the Infinity Gems, the Infinity Gauntlet directly uses the Time Gem itself, and the Time memory is not well adapted to Gory, so it is slightly inferior in strength.
After Gory’s time power was compressed back to himself, it only protected himself. Looking around, almost everyone was stopped in place!
“Tsk… half a move away!”
Gori gritted his teeth, but did not give up, but quickly inserted the Zone memory into the kill slot.
He was going to use two memories at the same time by force alone!
The Xtreme memory can be used in this way because of its own special properties, which does not mean that all memories can be used in this way.
Even if Gory is a modified physique, he is very likely to suffer trauma. After all, the two memories of Zone and Time are not common goods, but top concepts extracted from the Infinity Gems!
But in a hurry, Gao Li couldn’t care less. He could only bet that his transformed physique after further upgrading could withstand it!
“Zone! Maximum Drive!”
Gao Li activated Zone’s maximum drive without hesitation, and was about to completely block the entire space and lock Thanos and Supergiant in place.
This is different from the binding of General Corvus Glaive, which can be used without maximum drive. It is a complete confinement of the entire space, and any space-related abilities cannot be used in it.
Even light will stagnate because of the fixed space. Thanos and Supergiant in it cannot see things outside like General Corvus Glaive before, and even the cells and nerve transmission of the brain will not move because the space is not moving!
Unfortunately, while Gao Li tried to do this, Thanos was not standing there stupidly.
He just clenched his fist again.
As the power gem on the Infinity Gauntlet burst into purple light, an unprecedented explosion rose from the spot and spread out rapidly!
“What…!?”
Gori’s pupils shrank suddenly, and at the critical moment, he made a quick decision and changed what he originally wanted to do with the Zone Extreme Drive.
“Shua”, Thanos and Supergiant, along with the explosion they caused, were forcibly transferred to outer space by Gori.
It was like cutting a piece of the picture from the scroll and throwing it far away.
“Hu… Hu… Hu…”
None of the people who were fixed around were killed or injured by the explosion of the power gem, but Gori’s face was gloomy.
He fell into the trap!
And it was a legitimate conspiracy, even if Gori knew it, he had to fall into it.
“In order to completely transfer the big explosion, I had to dig out the space where the big explosion spread, and the other party was too close to the reality gem. When I dug out this space, I must also include the reality gem.”
Gori gritted his teeth, he was equivalent to giving the reality gem to Thanos with his own hands!
Gori only needed to think about this truth to understand it, but he had to do it.
The explosion caused by Thanos was not an ordinary explosion. It looked like fire, but it was all purple. In fact, Thanos released the power of the power gem and spread it outward, destroying everything along the way.
That was also the power of the Infinity Gem, and it was the energy directly emitted by the gem itself. Gao Li was not sure that he could use the extreme drive of the Zone memory to fix the explosive power of the power gem.
Once Gao Li made a mistake in judgment, he would not be able to stop the explosion, resulting in the death of all the members of the TPC headquarters base!
As someone who has studied the Infinity Gems in depth, Gao Li naturally would not doubt that the power gem could have such power. He actually thought too much.
For the Infinity Gems, it is easy to destroy a star. Whether it is the protective clothing of ordinary TPC combatants or the armor of Kamen Rider, it is impossible to withstand such power.
Of course, that was when the power of the Infinity Gems was quite strong. The problem was that Gao Li did not know to what extent the enemy could release the power gem, so he could only take the most prudent and cautious approach to deal with it.
Even in theory, even if everyone in the TPC headquarters base died in the explosion, Gao Li could use the Time Memory to save them.
But in reality, Thanos, who obtained the Time Stone, is better than him in terms of time ability. The enemy will definitely not follow his wishes. Gao Li’s time travel is very likely to fail because of Thanos’ interference!
Although this is just Gao Li’s speculation, no matter how small the possibility is, once it really happens, those who died are really dead!
Among them are not only many of Gao Li’s subordinates, but also Gao Li’s good friends such as Steve and Bucky. This is something Gao Li can never accept.
Thanos saw this point, and the Superstar teleported him and himself back to the temple, and Thanos also put the Reality Stone into the Infinity Gauntlet.
“Four Infinity Stones are already in my hands. It’s not quite the same as expected, but it’s more than half of them.”
After forcibly withstanding the impact, Thanos turned his hand to look at the Infinity Gauntlet and shook his head with emotion.
“But, Master…” Supergiant hesitated, “Proxima Midnight is dead, Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf and my telepathy are also disconnected, and there is no way to save General Corvus Glaive.”
“They are probably all in danger. Now four of the five Black Order generals who are feared by the universe have been killed. It is difficult for us to say that we have won a great victory.”
Thanos did not care and said lightly: “It doesn’t matter. The power bonus brought by an Infinity Stone is enough to surpass all the five Black Order generals.”
“Sacrifice on the road to achieving great goals is inevitable. They are noble dedications. Future generations will remember their contributions, and so will I.”
If it were other subordinates, Thanos would probably change his words, but facing Supergiant, he could speak freely.
Supergiant was originally determined to die and had a certain tendency to self-destruct and commit suicide, so he did not react or feel uncomfortable with these remarks.

“Besides, being able to do this, there is only one person left in the Black Five, which is already a very good result.”
After a pause of a few seconds, Thanos muttered to himself again as if sighing, and his eyes seemed to travel through time and space and looked towards the direction of the earth.
“Gory Parker… He is not the only one cursed by knowledge. His wisdom and ability are quite good, enough to deserve my attention.”
“It’s a pity that he can’t get my respect after all. He didn’t have the awareness to abandon his relatives and friends for the overall situation, so he lost to me just now!”
It can be said that in the extremely short confrontation at the TPC headquarters base, Gory and Thanos used their own methods.
And in the end, because of Gory’s drag, Thanos was slightly better!
“My master, next we have to…”
“Attack!”
