The voice that suddenly rang out came from No. 18, but she wasn't the only one who appeared before him at this moment.
Appearing with her was Lauren.
And the reason she was able to suddenly appear inside the Chitauri army's Leviathan ship at this moment was precisely because Lauren brought her in.
Because he had absorbed a large amount of the Space Stone's energy, Lauren was able to open spatial wormholes and travel through space at will.
Appearing directly inside the Leviathan ship from his laboratory was merely a piece of cake for him.
Not only that, bringing No. 18 along with him was also a matter of minutes.
Seeing that No. 18 had suddenly appeared inside their ship, the commander of the Chitauri army looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with terror.
Especially when he saw a young Gunman with a calm expression accompanying No. 18, the fear in his eyes intensified.
Because he knew even without thinking that any being who could be with this blonde woman before him was definitely not a simple character.
And this woman before him had single-handedly crippled their entire legion, and now another Gunman had appeared.
The key was that this Gunman's status was clearly above that of the woman.
Because ever since the Gunman appeared, the blonde woman had been standing behind him, not taking a single step forward.
As a commander who led hundreds of thousands of troops, he still had this much discernment.
And one No. 18 had already left them in the dust.
He didn't even dare to imagine how strong this Gunman, who was above No. 18, must be.
Just as he was thinking in terror about what to do next, Lauren, who was standing in front of No. 18, spoke calmly.
"If you don't want to die, kneel down!"
Hearing Lauren's words, the commander's face couldn't help but show a complex expression.
As the commander of the Chitauri army, he had always been an exalted being.
And among Thanos' many subordinates, his status was second only to the Black Order.
Although he couldn't be considered Thanos' confidant, he was still given important responsibilities.
Therefore, for him to kneel before an Earthling he had never seen before, his heart found it difficult to accept.
Moreover, he knew clearly that at this moment, his chances were likely grim.
The possibility of leaving here alive was almost zero.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well die with some backbone.
So although he was terrified of No. 18's strength, he did not kneel at this moment.
Instead, he said defiantly, "The Chitauri warriors are not afraid of death. Today we have fallen into your hands, and we accept it.
Kill us if you want, but you can forget about humiliating us. We will never kneel. We are only loyal to Master Thanos!"
"Not bad, not bad. I appreciate your backbone."
Looking at the commander of the Chitauri army's fearless appearance, Lauren nodded with a half-smile, expressing his appreciation for his actions.
And hearing that Lauren actually said he appreciated his backbone, the commander of the Chitauri army thought Lauren had been conquered by his personal charm.
Immediately, he couldn't help but show a hint of arrogance on his face, thinking he was incredibly awesome.
However, what he never expected was that at this moment, Lauren raised a finger and pointed it at his head.
Then he said mockingly, "Since you said kill if you want, I will grant your wish and kill you now. You can go die!"
"Huh? Wait..."
Hearing Lauren suddenly say he was going to kill him, the commander of the Chitauri army was completely dumbfounded.
Didn't he say he appreciated his courage?
Then by logic, he should have let him go!
How did it turn into him wanting to kill him?
Is this right?
This isn't right!
What the hell, he's not playing by the rules!
He couldn't understand Lauren's bizarre move at all.
But at this moment, he no longer had the chance to understand.
Because just as Lauren's words fell, a beam of energy instantly pierced through his head.
In an instant, it killed him instantly.
And seeing their commander killed by Lauren just like that, the remaining Chitauri warriors present were all startled!
Immediately, without waiting for Lauren to speak again, the group all knelt down without the slightest hesitation.
"Heh, so much for not being afraid of death. Couldn't you just die without showing off?!"
Seeing such a scene, Lauren smirked disdainfully and raised his hand to wave.
Immediately, the commander's corpse lying on the ground was directly thrown by him into the dark and deep space.
"Anyone else not afraid of death? Step forward and let me see."
Lauren looked at the group of Chitauri warriors kneeling before him with a playful expression, his words full of provocation.
And hearing his words, the group of Chitauri soldiers were silent as cicadas in cold weather, too terrified to utter a single word.
As for such a reaction, it was within Lauren's expectations.
There are indeed people in this World who are not afraid of death, but they are extremely few and very rare.
It's already remarkable if one or two occasionally appear.
As for an entire legion of soldiers not being afraid of death, in his opinion, that was simply wishful thinking.
Therefore, he didn't believe at all that these Chitauri soldiers before him would truly be as loyal as the commander had said.
And the facts had already proven that it was nothing more than the commander bragging.
And with the commander dead, these Chitauri warriors before him would immediately become a disorganized mess.
Thus, naturally, whatever he said would be the case.
"No one stepped forward, so there are none? Very good, this is the situation I want to see."
As Lauren spoke, he used a magic ring to conjure a magic chair out of thin air for himself.
Sitting on the magic chair, Lauren's face was stern, carrying an undeniable aura of dominance.
Seeing him like this, the Chitauri soldiers present were even more terrified, not daring to even breathe.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make any eye contact with Lauren.
Lauren did not pay attention to their current behavior.
He continued, "Let me introduce myself simply. My name is Lauren, and I am your new Master, and the only one you will be loyal to from now on!"
"!!!!"
Hearing Lauren's words, the Chitauri present couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and confusion.
They never expected that this Earth Gunman before them wouldn't kill them, and judging by his words, he was actually incorporating them.
"Who is the deputy? Step forward!"
Just then, Lauren spoke again.
Hearing Lauren's words, a Chitauri immediately stood up trembling.
"Master, I am the deputy."
"Very good. From now on, you are the commander. All the soldiers inside this entire ship are under your command!
From now on, you can only obey my orders. If you resist, I will eliminate all of you. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The deputy nodded repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Lauren nodded silently.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a spatial wormhole suddenly appeared.
Then, without waiting for everyone to react, he took No. 18 and walked in, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
And just as Lauren left the Leviathan ship and arrived outside, the Leviathan ship, which had just been enormous, actually began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just the blink of an eye, the huge Leviathan ship actually turned into a capsule, which Lauren held in the palm of his hand!!
