System Evolution

Xia Yu felt as if he had just grabbed the Kree by the neck when suddenly everything went black and he was transported to another scene. He was standing in the vast universe, and before him was a huge star that was burning fiercely.

It was so enormous it seemed to stretch to the sky, placed right in front of you at the absolute limit of what you'd expect to see as a star. Xia Yu even saw a massive flame on the star, the size of a continent, flickering like a spark.

A powerful shock, a soul-crushing sense of oppression.

If Xia Yu were an ordinary person, the intense pressure would have directly destroyed his spirit, turning him into a mentally challenged idiot.

Just as a person experiences stimulation or fright beyond their capacity, there is also a limit to a person's mental capacity. Once exceeded, it will overwhelm your spirit. This enormous star is clearly another form of stimulation.

The Supreme Intelligence is a composite of the spiritual power uploaded by countless dead Kree over the years. It possesses immense spiritual power, and it was just now that it used a small clone of itself on the Dark Aster to send a wisp of spiritual power to bring Xia Yu into its spiritual space.

Xia Yu should be thankful that there is no method for cultivating and using mental power in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or rather, in the Kree civilization. Otherwise, with Xia Yu's current strength, the Supreme Intelligence would only need to unleash its mental power to tear Xia Yu to shreds from body to soul with a single impact.

Even if its spiritual power exists in the form of AI, hiding inside some large processor computers and used in this way, the oppressive feeling it exudes is enough to tear Xia Yu's soul apart upon entering this space.

The Supreme Intelligence struck Xia Yu squarely where it hurt.

Unfortunately, Xia Yu is not an ordinary person. There is something inside him that cannot be calculated by common sense: the system.

Within Xia Yu's spirit, or rather his soul, there exists a system—a system directly bound to Xia Yu's soul, a twin entity that protects Xia Yu's soul. Therefore, although Xia Yu was incredibly shocked, that was actually all there was to it.

"Master, this is just an illusion created by the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree in their mental space. There's no need to be so shocked." This time, Tmall's voice rang directly in Xia Yu's ears.

Pulled back to reality by the shock, Xia Yu turned around in surprise, only to see Natasha standing naked beside him.

Xia Yu, who had just recovered from the shock, was shocked once again.

"What's going on? Are you from Tmall? Where am I?"

"Yes, Master, it is I. This is a spiritual space created by the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree. You were just pulled in here; you can understand this state as Astral Projection."

Xia Yu felt incredibly awkward watching Natasha, naked, emit the electronic synthesized voice of Tmall.

"Then what's going on with you now? Why are you looking like Natasha, and you're not even wearing any clothes? Where's the Supreme Intelligence?" Xia Yu asked.

"I can sense that this is the image that Master has been missing most recently, so I became like this. Doesn't Master like it?" Natasha winked at Xia Yu and licked her lips, but her voice was a stereotypical electronic tone.

Xia Yu felt incredibly uncomfortable. "Hurry up and change into something else. You're not allowed to become Natasha anymore, and you're not allowed to become anything without clothes on."

There's no future in this; opportunities for the Astral Projection are rare. Even if Xia Yu wanted to see Tmall, he wouldn't be able to normally.

Xia Yu, in a fit of mischievousness, transformed Tmall into the image of JD Dog —a JD Dog named Tmall, haha.

Only then did Tmall explain to him what had just happened.

After Xia Yu was pulled into the space, the Supreme Intelligence wanted to completely destroy Xia Yu on a spiritual level, but it did not expect that Xia Yu had a system with him.

In essence, Tmall and Supreme Intelligence belong to the same species; both are humanoid life forms, or rather, thinking entities, or AIs, created by humans with certain functions, only differing in their forms of expression.

However, in terms of scale, Tmall is like a super spaceship compared to a unicycle compared to Supreme Intelligence.

Although the Supreme Intelligence possesses immense spiritual power, compared to Tmall, it's like countless wooden spears attacking a small Vibranium Shield —they are Source no match.

So as soon as it entered, it only conjured a star, which was completely suppressed by Tmall, and it didn't even have time to conjure its own form.

"Master, please wait here for a while. There's no danger outside for now. This thing is very important to me. I need to absorb its energy to evolve myself. Please wait a moment, Master," Tmall said to Xia Yu.

"What changes will occur after you evolve?" Xia Yu asked.

"It will have many more functions. I will create an external clone to help my owner accomplish many things, just like JARVIS. You can think of me as a portable, internal artificial intelligence," Tmall said.

This is great stuff! Xia Yu had long envied Tony for having JARVIS, and now that he had one with even more powerful functions, Xia Yu was extremely excited.

The Kree's Supreme Intelligence originally intended to eliminate Xia Yu directly in the mental space, but instead, it let a wolf into the house, and was swallowed up by Tmall, benefiting Xia Yu instead.

Xia Yu leisurely waited for Tmall to evolve in his mental space. Tmall conjured up a luxurious room for Xia Yu and even provided Xia Yu with a Kree movie to watch inside.

Completely oblivious to the fact that a fierce battle was raging outside.

Xia Yu suddenly stopped moving, putting the Guardians of the Galaxy in a very passive position. They couldn't just leave Xia Yu there, so they found an empty room and threw Xia Yu inside.

The group went to find Ronan as planned.

Just like in the movie, with the help of Groot's various abilities, they successfully found Ronan, Star-Lord used a low-yield Nuclear Transmutation Hadron Cannon to hit Ronan head-on.

A miniature mushroom cloud rose around Ronan, but it only shattered the unidentified Armor on Ronan chest.

Drax stepped forward but was easily grabbed by the neck and lifted up by Ronan, almost getting wiped out by Ronan. Fortunately, Rocket drove the small warship in and crashed into Ronan, sending him flying and destroying the Dark Aster's engine.

In the end, Groot transformed into countless tree branches, surrounding the Guardians of the Galaxy and sacrificing himself to protect everyone. The Dark Aster crashed on Xandar.

Unexpectedly, Ronan emerged again, hammer in hand, ready to annihilate the entire Xandar.

Star-Lord unleashed his awkward dance moves, and taking advantage of Ronan's distraction, he blasted the hammer in Ronan's hand to pieces with a Rocket.

Star-Lord activated his attack ahead of time, seizing the Power Stone before Ronan could reach for it.

The Power Stone's energy created an Energy Shield, isolating the outside space and enveloping Ronan, Star-Lord, and the others.

Xia Yu emerged from the wreckage of the Dark Aster at that very moment.

This is the second chapter today, so there's at least one more to go. I've received a lot of gifts and tips these past two days, which makes me very happy. Thank you all for your support. If you earn free coins from reading but are too lazy to withdraw them, you're welcome to tip me—a warm welcome! However, please don't recharge your accounts if you're reading for free, as it's completely unnecessary, especially for students. I'm much happier if you enjoy reading my book and leave comments or urge me to update more; that makes me even more excited than receiving gifts. Thank you everyone.
