Chapter 453： 【The Fall of the Shia Empire】

The huge spaceship descended from the sky, covering the sky and the sun, with a magnificent momentum, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the spaceship is actually quite damaged, and it seems that it has just escaped from the war.

The giant ship did not land directly, but was suspended at a low altitude, and then released a relatively small spaceship, which flew to the altar and stopped.

After the small spaceship docked, dozens of people got off the ship. They are mostly Shia, but there are a few other races too, such as a green-skinned Zehouberry.

Dozens of people had guns on their waists and hips, dressed as soldiers, and some were weak and gentle, with the appearance of ministers, but most of their faces were full of dust, and some people were even injured.

Walking in the forefront was a middle-aged man and a woman. The two wore robes and crowns, and they looked very noble. There is no doubt that they are the emperor and queen of the Shia Empire.

"The soul gem is the last hope of the empire. I hope the legend is true, otherwise the empire will be completely destroyed..." The emperor walked to the altar and murmured.

The queen, who was supporting him, hesitated softly, "Can you defeat Thanos if you get the Soul Stone?"

The emperor almost interrupted her and said without hesitation, "It must be possible. The Infinity Stones are the source power of the universe, and no one can defeat it. The Infinity Stones...it's the destiny!"

The queen was speechless, she silently followed her husband and walked to the top of the altar. The dozens of people were also silent, just like the desolate Vormir star.

The Shia Empire was once one of the three major technological empires. It was as famous as the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire. Compared with the other two empires, it was younger and a young empire full of hope.

It's a pity that the young empire suffered a devastating blow before it could reach its expected peak.

Under the leadership of Thanos, a military group evolved from interstellar pirates swept the entire Shia galaxy with an almost crushing attitude, and Shia was also removed from the three major empires.

Emperor Shia, who had lost all his trump cards, was completely helpless, and in despair he could only pin all his hopes on an ancient rumor that was true or false—the soul gem buried in the Vormir star.

So he led the exiles of the empire to find this inconspicuous star at the edge of the universe, hoping to be blessed by fate.

"The emperor of the Shia Empire, and the queen." Rowe appeared in front of the couple.

"Who are you?" Emperor Shia was startled and looked at him with great vigilance.

The guards behind him also held their weapons, prepared for battle, and stood by.

Due to the curse of the soul, Luo Wei was always covered with a layer of shadow, and it looked like he was wearing a broken black robe, which was very similar to the Red Skull's costume in the movie. It was ghostly. No wonder the soldiers had this reaction.

"I am in charge of guarding this place." Rowe said slowly, "I know that you are here to seek soul gems."

Emperor Shia said solemnly, "So we have to defeat you first?"

"No." Rowe shook his head, "Actually, I'd love for you to take away the Soul Stone, although it's almost impossible for this to happen."

Emperor Shia frowned: "Why?"

Rowe: "The soul gem has its rules. Only by sacrificing the soul of the one you love will it fly into your hands and obey your orders."

"Ridiculous!" Emperor Shia obviously didn't believe it.

Rowe said calmly: "I don't have to lie to you. If you don't want to try, just leave Vormir."

"Capture him first!" Emperor Shia said, and then several soldiers stepped forward, ready to capture Luo Wei.

But they obviously can't do this, even if they draw a gun and fire a laser, they can't hurt Rowe at all.

And Luo Wei raised his hand and waved, and hot flames flew out from the palm of his hand. With one sweep, the weapons of several soldiers melted into molten iron, which splashed all over the ground.

"What!" Emperor Shia and dozens of others were shocked.

Rowe looked at them: "If you think you can get the Soul Stone by defeating me, then you can leave here."

While speaking, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

During the decades he stayed on Vormir, he encountered visitors three times, and two of them attacked him. It's not surprising that when someone suddenly jumps out and says that you need to sacrifice your loved one to get what you want, most people should be suspicious and hostile in the face of this situation.

In contrast, Thanos' reaction was really strange - as soon as the Red Skull said it, he believed it directly, and threw his daughter off the altar on the spot.

And he still loves his daughter deeply.

As expected of the purple sweet potato essence... He is indeed a very person.

In the face of Rowe's powerful combat power, Emperor Shia finally faced his statement, with a gloomy change on his face: "What are you saying is true? You must sacrifice your loved ones in order to obtain the soul gem?"

"Yes." Rowe nodded, "Among the six Infinity Stones, the Soul Stone is highly respected, it can even be said to be the core, it has its own will.

"Only if you are satisfied with the Soul Gem you can obtain it." He walked to the edge of the altar, which is also a cliff of the mountain.

Emperor Shia was silent.

After a few seconds, he turned to look at his wife and said in a trembling voice, "My dear, I'm sorry, I did this for our country..."

"No, no." The queen looked at her husband in horror and stepped back.

"For the Shia Empire, for defeating Thanos!" Emperor Shia stepped forward to grab her arm and repeated excitedly, "Forgive me, my dear, forgive what I did!"

The queen screamed in horror and despair, collapsed on the edge of the precipitous altar, and begged bitterly, "We are husband and wife, please!"

"Because we are husband and wife!" Emperor Shia gritted his teeth and immediately threw his wife down.

With a long scream, Queen Shia fell from a height and fell to the ground below. The sound stopped abruptly, and she turned into a corpse.

The blood of the corpse slowly overflowed and spread at the bottom of the altar.

Emperor Shia looked under the altar, his body trembling, his breathing was heavy, and he did not regain his calm for a long time.

After a while, he came back to his senses, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and turned to look at Luo Wei: "Now, can you give me the soul gem?"

Rowe didn't answer.

In fact, the moment Queen Shia died, the Soul Stone told him the result.

The soul gem's judgment result is only a short sentence: "There is no love."

"Where's my soul gem?" Emperor Shia waved his hands and asked again.

Rowe shook his head: "Unfortunately, according to the judgment of the soul gem, you don't love your wife, so the sacrifice is invalid."
