Above Morag, Star-Lord and Gamora looked at the vast ocean below with puzzled expressions.
They didn't understand what Adam was doing on this abandoned Planet.
Morag was originally a technologically advanced Planet, but for some unknown reason, it was suddenly destroyed one day.
The seawater on the Planet submerged all continents, and the Morag civilization was ruined in an instant.
Only every three hundred years would the seawater recede for a few days, at which time some scavengers would fly over to scavenge, finding valuable items left by the Morag civilization to sell in the black market for money.
Now, there are still seven years until the seawater on Morag recedes, and the continents here are still in the deep sea.
"Gamora, you must know that Thanos is collecting Infinity Stones, right?"
Adam asked, looking at the seawater below.
Gamora pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Indeed, Thanos has always been collecting clues about the Infinity Stones. His cooperation with Ronan this time was also to have Ronan help him find Infinity Stones.
However, I don't know what he ultimately wants the Infinity Stones for."
"What for? Of course, it's for his concept of Universe balance."
Adam explained to them:
"The Infinity Stones were forged from the essence of six singularities containing infinite energy before the Big Bang. Each one possesses special abilities, controlling the six basic attributes of Space, Time, Reality, Power, Mind, and Soul.
And by gathering all six Infinity Stones, one can, according to the user's own will, make a huge impact or change on the entire Universe.
For example, if Thanos just thinks about making half of the life in the Universe disappear, then half of the life in the Universe will truly disappear instantly."
Thanos is called the Director of the Universe Family Planning Office because he has always been committed to eliminating half of the Universe's population to maintain the balance of the Universe.
He believes that the Universe's population is too large, and that one day the Universe's resources will be exhausted. If half the population could be eliminated, then this situation could be greatly improved, making the Universe healthier.
Is his idea wrong?
Adam personally feels that, from a rational perspective, it is not wrong, but it is extremely inhumane.
Many things cannot be viewed solely from a rational perspective; that is what machines do. Intelligent life is intelligent life precisely because it has emotions and morals.
It's like we all know that Earth's resources are limited, and if humanity continues to develop like this, one day Earth's resources will be exhausted.
To protect the Earth, and for the sake of the future, we randomly kill half of humanity on Earth now—isn't that insane?
There are many ways to solve problems; why choose the most extreme one?
We can implement sustainable development, save energy and reduce emissions, vigorously develop aerospace technology, and strive to obtain resources from the Universe, and so on.
There are always more solutions than problems; using our brains will always lead to more humane solutions.
If half of the life in the Universe were truly to disappear, then the Celestial's method would be better. They sacrifice one Planet every ten billion years to give birth to a Celestial, but they can continuously create new stars to increase the Universe's resources, allowing the Universe to develop more healthily.
"Randomly eliminating half of the life in the Universe—does he have some serious illness?"
Star-Lord's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
Rocket, next to him, quickly added:
"If his head were normal, he wouldn't be called the Mad Titan."
"If the six Infinity Stones really have that kind of Power, then that's certainly something Thanos could do."
Gamora's expression became serious.
She finally understood why Thanos was so obsessed with collecting clues about the Infinity Stones.
Thanos and his army are indeed powerful, but the Nova Empire, the Kree Empire, the Shi'ar Empire, and other empires in other galaxies are not to be trifled with.
Thanos would never be able to eliminate half of the life in the Universe on his own; he could only achieve it by using the Power of the Infinity Stones.
"There's an Infinity Stone right below here, so that's why we're here."
Adam pointed to the sea below and explained.
Everyone immediately focused their gaze on the sea below, seemingly trying to find the hidden Infinity Stone through the seawater.
"Even if there really is an Infinity Stone in this vast sea, how are we going to find it in such a huge ocean?"
Star-Lord raised a crucial question.
Gamora and Rocket nodded in rare agreement.
Adam, however, waved his hand:
"Since I'm here, I naturally have a solution!"
They saw his figure flash, and he was already outside the spaceship.
"Dragon's Roar!"
Adam floated above the sea, took a deep breath, and then activated the magic in his body.
Instantly, a giant Dragon-shaped magic circle formed, and flames of over a hundred thousand degrees, composed of Dragon Slayer Magic, surged directly towards the sea.
Moments later, the flames disappeared, and this entire section of the sea was evaporated, revealing the continent hidden beneath.
Natsu's full-power Dragon Slayer Magic in the later stages could easily dry up a lake. Adam possesses the same Bloodline as Natsu, and his magic power is many times greater than Natsu's, so drying up a sea was not a very difficult task.
"Oh, sh*t!"
Seeing Adam breathe fire and instantly evaporate the seawater below, the people in the spaceship couldn't help but curse.
None of them were very civilized people, so their ways of expressing surprise were naturally similar.
"Now, I'm starting to believe what he said about the reward."
Gamora murmured in a low voice after her astonishment.
Just that one move, she really wasn't sure if Thanos could withstand it.
"Cosmic Orb, Accio!"
Seeing all the seawater evaporated, Adam slowly landed on the continent below and then used Accio.
Accio, also known as the Summoning Charm, will automatically summon an item and make it fly into your hand as long as you silently think of its name.
However, the range depends on the magic ability; some Wizards can do it within a few hundred meters, while others can only summon items within a few tens of meters.
At the same time, it is difficult to affect magic items.
But this was not a problem for Adam; with his current magic strength, as long as the Cosmic Orb was on this continent, it should be able to be summoned by him.
Sure enough, soon a spherical object containing the Power Stone flew out of a ruin burned by flames, then arced and landed in his hand.
With a forceful squeeze, the outer shell immediately shattered, revealing the Power Stone, which contained infinite Power.
"This energy is indeed not weak!"
Sealing the immense Power that was constantly seeping out with his aura, Adam took out the Omni-Weapon from his Nine Tomoe Rinnegan, then pressed the Power Stone onto the hammerhead of the Omni-Weapon.
Immediately, the Power of the Power Stone was sealed by the Omni-Weapon.
