Strange Planet

Xia Yu was even more embarrassed; this was just too much of a coincidence.

The universe is so vast, I randomly came to this place, and casually threw something at something, how did it end up hitting you?

Captain Marvel radiated energy, her eyes fixed on Xia Yu, demanding an explanation.

Xia Yu looked at Captain Marvel, who still had that arrogant look on her face, and inwardly Delia.

I was thinking, how come after being beaten up multiple times by the Avengers, you immediately reverted to that unapproachable demeanor?

However, Xia Yu didn't say these words aloud. She had already apologized last time, and it would be too ungentlemanly for him to be so unforgiving and argue with a woman.

"Two of Thanos came to Earth today, the Mad Titan the Snap. They wanted to steal the Time Stone, but I knocked them unconscious and threw them into space. I wanted to see who was behind their interference, but less than two minutes after I threw them here, the spaceship exploded."

Captain Marvel became interested when Xia Yu mentioned the Snap.

"You mean there's someone else behind them causing trouble?"

"That's right, we planted something on them, and I came over as soon as the signal disappeared. It was already like this, so I just dumped some wreckage to vent my anger. I didn't expect you to still be nearby."

After explaining, Xia Yu asked Captain Marvel a question in return.

"How did you end up here? I remember your star system should be very far away from here."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he glanced down at the Microcomputer on his wrist to confirm the location.

Yes, it is indeed very far away.

Captain Marvel paused for a moment, seemingly considering whether she should tell Xia Yu, before finally saying, "Come with me."

They followed Captain Marvel to a nearby planet inhabited by life.

Captain Marvel stopped outside the atmosphere.

"Here?"

Xia Yu asked, puzzled.

Captain Marvel shook her head and asked Xia Yu in return, "Feel it, how is this planet different from other planets in the universe?"

Xia Yu's spiritual power spread out, and he quickly conducted a general exploration of the planet.

"Ugh, why do the people here look like this? The men's testicles are on their chins! How disgusting!"

"Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to someone here, Ms. Danvers. I must say, you have quite the unique taste. You might as well find Skrulls. Why would you like that race?"

"Do you like to do something else while kissing?"

Xia Yu looked disgusted.

He remembered that in the comics, Captain Marvel's boyfriend was Rhodey, and there seemed to be some foreshadowing in the movie, but it wasn't explained clearly.

I never expected this crazy woman to have such unusual tastes.

Captain Marvel was exasperated, her energy almost out of control as she aimed a shot at Xia Yu's face.

"Nick Fury is right, you really are a damn bastard, and I'm talking to you about something serious."

Xia Yu scanned the planet again. Sure enough, apart from the males having their testicles on their chins, there was nothing else different.

The civilization has developed quite well; there's nothing particularly special about it.

No...

Etc!

Xia Yu knew something was wrong. It was all too normal. You see, almost every planet in the universe had been the Snap, but this planet hadn't.

"Is this in a straight line with the Earth?"

Xia Yu finally realized where the key point lay.

Captain Marvel glanced at Xia Yu's face, restrained the urge to smash it, and explained to Xia Yu:

"A few days ago, a scientist in Skrull developed a detector primarily for capturing and utilizing various forms of free energy in the universe. We have installed the detector on all our planets."

"A strange thing happened: all the planets that weren't affected by the Snap started emitting some kind of energy that had never been seen before."

"This energy originates from each individual, slowly accumulating and disappearing beneath the planet's crust."

"This is an energy that has never appeared in the universe before; they cannot capture it, nor can they store it."

"We checked every planet on our side that wasn't affected by the Snap, and they were all the same."

"So I went out into the universe to see if all the planets that weren't the Snap were the same. This is the 92nd planet I've found."

As Captain Marvel spoke, she took out a detector, operated it for a moment, and then turned on the screen on her wrist.

A three-dimensional image of the planet in front of us popped up.

Xia Yu looked closely and, sure enough, the dense red dots represented each creature, and each red dot emitted a pale yellow light.

Of course, this color is just a way of displaying information to make it easier for people to observe.

"This energy is like a person's scent, constantly emanating and seeping into the ground, just as the planet beneath our feet is absorbing this energy."

Although Xia Yu understood what Captain Marvel was saying, science wasn't his forte, so he thought he'd have Tony study it later.

But they still asked, "Have you probed underground? Where has the energy drifted to?"

"We've checked, but this energy disappeared shortly after entering the ground; the instruments can't detect it. The underground situation is too complex. We don't have the exact location; we can't just blow up the entire planet."

Captain Marvel said helplessly, "We've tried quite a few methods already."

If every planet that hasn't been the Snap has one, then Earth must be no exception.

Xia Yu thought for a moment and said to Captain Marvel, "Let's get into the atmosphere first and find a place to try it out."

The two landed in a deserted spot on the outskirts of the city.

Xia Yu tore open the space and arrived at a space more than 100 meters underground.

Captain Marvel readily took out her equipment, which emitted energy fluctuations.

Xia Yu tore open space again, and the two of them advanced more than a hundred meters underground.

Repeating this process, the two tracked the energy as it traversed the entire Earth's crust.

It went deep inside, right up to the vicinity of the Earth's core.

Most of the surrounding matter has become liquid, and the temperature and pressure are many times higher than those at the Earth's surface.

Xia Yu created Energy Shield the size of a room to isolate himself from the outside environment.

The energy signal had completely disappeared here, so Xia Yu directly manipulated the Energy Shield, traversing back and forth within the Earth's core in search of it.

The two searched here for several hours like blind men, until finally, their surroundings suddenly changed.

We entered a space of about 100 square meters and about 20 meters high.

It's unclear how this space was formed; it seems as if an unseen force directly isolates it from the surrounding liquid.

The instrument reached this point and sent a signal again.

"I've got it! It's right here!"

After searching for a long time, Captain Marvel finally found the source, she exclaimed happily.

Xia Yu kept looking ahead, saying without turning his head, "No need for instruments, I can already see this energy."

Captain Marvel followed Xia Yu's gaze and saw a huge golden, flowing object floating in the middle of this space.

Upon closer inspection, it was found to be composed of golden threads of varying thicknesses, each over a meter long, floating aimlessly in the air.

What is this?

Captain Marvel exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Yu sighed softly, "This is called the River of Destiny."
