Chapter 475: Fishing in Troubled Waters
"Oh, my new friends..."
In a huge museum filled with rare treasures, Star-Lord and others were gathered around a table, listening to collector Tivan introducing the origins of the Infinity Gems.
"Before the creation of the universe, there were six singularities. Then the Big Bang created everything. The remnants of these six singularities were collected and condensed into gems."
"Called the Infinity Gems."
While Tiwan was explaining, the disassembly device on the table was operating, and a dreamy purple light appeared in the separated cosmic spirit ball.
"These gems..."
As Tiwan introduced, he waved his hand and opened several light screens, on which images of the former owners of the gems appeared.
The power to destroy a planet with one strike made everyone stunned.
The picture was playing and the splitting device did not stop. As the cosmic spirit ball was completely separated, the purple glowing gem was fully revealed.
However, no one noticed that the red-skinned maid standing beside had a different color flashing in her eyes.
"Wow, that's really fascinating, White Hair, but give me the money."
Soon, the grumpy Rocket Raccoon was the first to recover from the shock, and he angrily asked Tiwan for money.
Tiwan did not get angry, but gently asked what payment method should be used to complete the transaction.
After getting the answer from Cash, Diwan walked to the side. At this moment, the red-skinned maid walked slowly forward, her eyes full of fascination with the light of the purple gem.
Noticing the maid's strangeness, Tiwan raised his head and shouted coldly: "Karina, don't come near!"
But the red-skinned maid said ferociously: "I don't want to be your slave anymore."
After saying that, she reached out to the purple gem in front of her. The sudden accident prevented everyone present from reacting.
As the palm made contact, the purple gem suddenly burst out with unparalleled brilliance, and purple energy waves burst out from inside the gem, impacting everything around it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everything was collapsing. Dazzling purple veins appeared on the maid's red arms. The twisted veins spread to her neck and began to corrode her entire body.
The energy of the purple gem was madly accumulating in the maid's body, washing away everything in a terrifying manner.
“Aaaaa——!”
The maid screamed, her red skin began to collapse, and purple light appeared in the cracks.
The next moment——
boom!!!
A violent explosion sounded, and purple flames swept everything around, consuming everything to dust. The stimulated gems were madly releasing enormous amounts of energy, energy that was enough to destroy a planet.
Watching his museum gradually being destroyed by the energy, Tiwan's eyes revealed pain in his heart, liver and whole body, and he had no choice but to point his hands at the exploding gem.
An invisible force emanated from his hands, forcibly compressing the gem's crazy and disordered energy back into the gem.
This is his original energy as the elder of the universe, similar to the cosmic energy used by gods. This power was generated from the Big Bang and diffused throughout the universe. Only cosmic elders like them who live as long as the universe can collect and use it.
With Tiwan's last resort, the energy that exploded from the gem being stimulated gradually stabilized. Although there were still energy turbulence bursts, it was no longer enough to destroy the planet.
But even so, his museum suffered unprecedented damage, and part of its collections disappeared in the outbreak.
Looking at the devastated surroundings, Tiwan felt like crying but at the same time felt somewhat fortunate.
Fortunately, his truly valuable collections are not placed here. What is here are just ordinary collections displayed to the outside world. They are valuable but not worth much.
…
The other side.
In a relatively clean bar, Xia Yu was holding a glass and shaking the wine in it slightly, while Ganata was eating beside him.
The strange combination did not attract the attention of others. After all, the universe is so big, there are many aliens of any shape or size, and there are countless random combinations.
Even the Upright Raccoon and the Tree Man can form a combination, so the combination of him and Ganata seems mediocre.
"Tsk, it's actually different from the movie."
Using his spiritual sense to sense the unusual movements in the collector's museum, Xia Yu took a sip of the wine in the glass with some dissatisfaction.
The power of the collector is not shown in the movie. In the movie, the collector seems to be quite "stingy" both in terms of the amount of his collection and the abilities he demonstrates.
However, the collector here can directly suppress the explosion of the power gem with his own strength, which is enough to show that he is not that bad.
There was quite a bit of commotion in the museum. The moment the explosion sounded, everyone in the bar ran out curiously and escaped with their drink money. However, the owner was not furious because even the bar owner had gone out to watch the excitement.
Xia Yu also pulled Ganata, who was still eating, out of the bar. Because Ganata didn't want to meet the collector, he decided to take advantage of the situation to get the Power Stone.
At worst, I can help Star-Lord and others resolve the threat from Ronan, and that can be considered the price of buying the Power Stone.
The explosions were still going on, but their power was much smaller. However, this also attracted the people in the Land of Nothingness to gather around and watch.
After all, the one who caused the explosion this time was the most powerful force in the Land of Nothingness, the Collector Tiwan!
Even though most people in the Land of Nothingness are desperate criminals, they dare not provoke the Collector. Those predecessors who are courting death have already proved to them the consequences of provoking the Collector.
But the excitement was not all there was to see. After a few minutes, densely packed spaceships suddenly rushed in, and the outer space was surrounded by layers of huge space battleships.
Ronan, the Accuser of the Kree Empire, has arrived.
"Damn it, why are those crazy people here!"
“Run away!!”
"Help!!"
Ronan's spaceship had just arrived, and the scene was already in chaos.
The Kree are well-known ruthless lunatics in the universe. The Kree Empire believes in nationalism, imperialism and militarism, and is the most difficult of the three empires.
No one wanted to fight them, except for a shirtless burly man with bloody lines tattooed on his rough skin.
Drax the Destroyer, he had a grudge against Ronan, and it was he who called Ronan.
"Hahaha! Finally, I get to face my enemy and finish him off myself!"
Drax's eyes were red, he held two daggers in his hands, and his tone was filled with excitement.
However, no one paid any attention to this clueless man. The spaceship ignored Drax and flew towards a ruined museum where Star-Lord and others were standing.
When the Power Stone exploded, they were lucky not to be affected . When Tivan suppressed the Power Stone, Gamora stepped forward and sealed the stone again with the Cosmic Orb.
Then everything was just like in the original. Star-Lord took out the Orb and wanted to find a good seller again, while Gamora wanted to hand it over to the Nova Corps.
Everything was heading towards chaos, but reality seemed to think the fire was not big enough, so it poured another pot of oil on it, and the plunderer Yondu also appeared.
The moment he saw his adoptive father, Star-Lord hurriedly led the team he had just organized towards the spaceship. He didn't want to fail here.
Boom! !
The fired shells caused violent explosions, causing the ground and buildings to collapse. The gusts of air caused by the explosions blew away the aliens who had not been able to escape, causing them to run around wailing.
Ronan didn't care whether this was the collector's territory or not, he only knew that his target was here.
He wants to grab the Cosmic Orb and then give it to Thanos, and Thanos will help him completely destroy Xandar. This is the deal between them.
A few minutes later, Star-Lord successfully escaped to his spaceship with his friends, but Thanos' other adopted daughter, Nebula, also came here.
She forced Gamora to flee everywhere, and the small spaceship showed great flexibility, shuttling through gunfire and hail of bullets without any damage.
But one spaceship can't escape too far, and soon Gamora was surrounded and blocked by several spaceships, leaving her no chance to breathe.
In this extremely urgent situation, Xia Yu and Ganata hid in a corner and secretly poked their heads out to look at the scene which looked like a battlefield.
"Xia Yu, why did you suddenly start fighting?"
"Xia Yu doesn't know."
"So there are things you don't know."
Somehow, when Ganata heard Xia Yu answer that he didn't know, her tone sounded somewhat cheerful.
After casually stuffing the food he had been holding into his mouth and chewing it and swallowing it, Ganata said, "Should we leave then? Although we haven't finished our tour yet, it seems we can't go shopping now."
"Wait a minute, I left something here."
While answering casually, Xia Yu stared at Gamora's spaceship without blinking. At this moment, the Cosmic Spirit Orb was on that spaceship.
According to subsequent developments, Gamora's spaceship will be shot down by Nebula, and then the Cosmic Orb will be snatched away by Nebula, and Gamora will fall into space and enter a near-death state.
Then Star-Lord voluntarily went into danger to save Gamora, and the two fell in love.
In response to this, Xia Yu secretly apologized to Star-Lord. With his intrusion, there would probably be no such incident between Star-Lord and Gamora.
But he believed that Star-Lord would not care. After all, Star-Lord was a cosmic cannon king. Even without Gamora, there were still thousands of alien beauties waiting for him.
Looking at the small spaceship that was almost escaping through the hail of bullets, a light blue light flashed in Xia Yu's eyes. The next moment, he hacked into the spaceship's control system through the AI's network capabilities.
What this reflects in reality is that Gamora's spaceship seemed to have suddenly changed its operator.
The original female driver was suddenly replaced by an experienced driver who could perform all kinds of drifting and turning with ease. In just a few seconds, he left the Nebula spaceship fleet far behind.
This scene not only shocked Nebula, but also shocked Gamora in the spaceship. No one told her that the spaceship was capable of automatic driving?
If she had known this, why would she have fled in fear just now?
Under Xia Yu's operation, Gamora's spaceship quickly lost its trace in the densely packed buildings. No matter how Nebula searched, he could not detect the fluctuations of the spaceship.
Realizing this, Nebula cursed inwardly and had to return to Ronan's fleet, wanting to join Ronan in the search.
She just couldn't believe that so many people couldn't find a small spaceship!
On the other side, before Gamora, who had successfully escaped, could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Cosmic Orb, which she regarded as an important treasure, suddenly flew out from the open hatch of the spaceship as if it had self-awareness.
The speed was so fast that by the time she reacted, the Cosmic Spirit Orb had disappeared.
“Damn it!”
She had no idea what was going on, and uttered the same curse as Xingyun.
At this moment, the mastermind who was scolded by the two sisters was throwing a metal ball with a hollow pattern.
"Now all I have left is time and soul. I don't even know where these two gems are. It's really troublesome."
Xia Yu felt the power gem inside the cosmic spirit ball and muttered to himself.
Ganata, who was standing by, couldn't help but tug at Xia Yu's clothes when he heard this: "If you're talking about the other Infinity Stones, I know."
"Um?!!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu's tone rose several degrees: "You know? Ganata, do you know where the time and soul gems are?"
"Hmm..." Ganata paused and replied, "To be exact, it is my cosmic consciousness that knows. I can directly use the cosmic consciousness to search for the remaining two gems."
Xia Yu: ...
If I had known this earlier, if I had known this earlier...
He could have collected all the Infinity Stones a long time ago. What a damn brain! Why doesn't he think about anything else?
After being slightly annoyed for a second, Xia Yu recovered instantly. It was not because he didn't want to worry about things, but because Ganata was teaching him how to use the Infinity Stones before. Even if he knew the location of the other stones, he probably wouldn't have time to find them.
That’s right!
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xia Yu's dazed look, Ganata tugged at Xia Yu's clothes again: "Do you want me to search for the remaining gems now?"
“No, no.”
Xia Yu shook his head when he heard this. It was useless to know now. It would not be too late to search after things here were over.
"Let's go and get rid of Ronan first. He is not a good person. He might invade the earth in the future. We must take precautions before it happens."
In Marvel's positioning, Ronan the Accuser is a super villain who once led an army to attack the Earth, but was defeated by the Earth's superhero team, including the first Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell.
Since then, Ronan has appeared many times as the main enemy of Captain Marvel and the Fantastic Four.
However, in later comics, Ronan broke free from the control of the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire and became a kind of anti-hero. He overthrew the original tyranny of the Kree Empire and became the true ruler of the empire.
Since then, he has been running around for the Kree Empire as a qualified ruler and has become a true hero of the Kree Empire.
Recalling these materials, Xia Yu's eyes became increasingly sharp.
Although Ronan will become a hero of the Kree Empire in the future, what does that have to do with the Earth? He only knows that Ronan will attack the Earth in the future.
It is necessary to prepare for a rainy day at this time. After all, Ronan is not an earthling, but an alien.
Although Ganata didn't know why Xia Yu wanted to deal with Ronan, she immediately became unhappy when she heard that the other party might invade the earth in the future.
She has a fondness for that beautiful but fragile little world, and any existence that wants to invade the earth is her enemy.
The two men instantly reached the same idea, but neither of them noticed that in the ruins in the distance, a middle-aged man with white hair was looking at them with interest.
"Look what I found? Galactus' daughter? Ha, that's lucky, a Galactus' daughter who's not following Galactus around!"
