When My Glory Returns

A thousand-meter-wide purple Void Black Hole appeared above the moon.

Harvey's figure turned into a streak of purple light and vanished from where he stood.

At the same time, one light-year away from Xandar,

a thousand-meter-wide purple Void Black Hole appeared as well.

As Harvey stepped out from within it,

terrifying Void Energy erupted, and purple-black shockwaves burst through space, twisting the surrounding void.

Seeing this, Harvey was somewhat relieved that he had not descended directly onto Xandar.

This was his first time carrying out a Void Descent across light-year distances, so even he could not guarantee how much power would erupt upon arrival.

So Harvey chose the safest approach: first arrive near the planet, then head to his actual destination.

When Harvey had looked down upon the Milky Way Galaxy for his target destination earlier, he had seen Asgard and noticed that Odin seemed to have discovered something.

But he had slipped away quickly, so Odin probably had not noticed him.

Then another Void Black Hole appeared beneath Harvey's feet.

The next second, Harvey arrived directly amid picturesque mountains and forests.

Perhaps because it was a habitable planet, Xandar's environment was not all that different from Earth.

Harvey vaguely remembered that Xandar was one of the interstellar empires in the Marvel universe, so it should not be difficult to get some money and a universal translator here.

Harvey directly drew in Void Energy, and the clothes on his body quickly began to change.

Harvey wore armor accented with purple and gold, a golden mask over his head, and a white battle robe draped over his body. His eyes had turned gold.

His entire aura underwent an enormous change, becoming mysterious and solemn.

Harvey knew that if he wanted to spread the will of the Void, he definitely needed a new alias.

That way, even if he caused some disturbances, those he needed to be wary of would not be able to easily trace him back to his true self.

And after putting on this outfit, Harvey naturally chose Kassadin as his alias.

Harvey rose into the air and slowly flew toward the city more than two hundred kilometers away.

In just half an hour, Harvey saw a towering city wall in the distance that radiated a strong sense of advanced technology.

Under the sunlight, the metallic gleam made it appear even more grand and imposing.

It had to be said that, as one of the famous great empires in the universe, Xandar had truly mastered the art of appearances.

Above the city walls, spacecraft slowly cruised through the air. They were clearly Xandar's guard patrols.

Since he was nearly there, Harvey descended to the ground and walked step by step toward the city gate.

As long as Xandar did not make things difficult for him, Harvey had no intention of causing trouble here for the time being.

His main purpose in coming here was to find a universal translator, gather some information, and learn where bounty hunter jobs could be taken.

Harvey saw many humanoid beings whose appearances were not very different from those of humans on Earth.

If Harvey had not known that he had arrived on Xandar, he might have thought he was still on Earth.

Harvey's arrival drew the attention of many Xandarians.

After all, this person whose face could not be seen possessed a mysterious, solemn bearing, as though he had long occupied a position of great authority. He was difficult to ignore.

The guards at the city gate exchanged glances, each of them wanting someone else to go question him and register his identity.

In the end, a male guard in military uniform, over six feet tall and incredibly muscular, looked at his companions with disdain and said,

"Look at how scared you all are. It's just registration. What's there to be nervous about?"

After saying that, the male guard took the initiative to speak when Harvey reached the passageway beneath the city wall.

"Name, origin, purpose of your visit."

The guard spoke directly to Harvey in the common alien language while preparing to register him with a thin, square device in his hand.

But after he finished speaking, the guard noticed that the mysterious visitor had stopped, yet showed no immediate intention of answering.

This made the guard's heart tighten as he watched Harvey cautiously.

Harvey had assumed that without a universal translator, he would not be able to understand what these people were saying. Yet the moment the other party spoke, he understood immediately.

Even Harvey was taken aback by that.

"Kassadin, from the Void. I came here to inquire about some information."

But being able to communicate directly made things much easier. Harvey came back to his senses and answered the man's questions.

Hearing the mysterious visitor's language, the guard checked the language on the universal translator around his wrist. It displayed that the language originated from C53.

There were countless planets in the universe, so he could not immediately tell whether C53 was actually called the Void.

However, the other party appeared cooperative, which also made the guard breathe a sigh of relief.

"My name is Dam. Although I've never heard of the planet you mentioned, I've registered you already."

"This is Xandar. Since this is your first visit and registration, you may only remain here for seven days."

"Everything in the city is under the watch of our guard force. Mind your conduct within the city during these seven days."

"Otherwise, if our guard force finds out, we can arrest you at any time and send you to the Court of Justice."

"The Court of Justice will punish you according to the severity of your crimes. For more serious offenses, they may even execute you directly."

"So watch yourself."

The guard who called himself Dam released a beam of light to scan Harvey, recording his information and giving him a warning.

"Understood."

Harvey cooperatively nodded in response to these warnings.

Harvey was not afraid of having his information scanned and recorded, because all of his current information was false information created with Void Armor. He had no fear of being scanned.

"All right, you may enter."

After completing the registration and seeing how honest this person called Kassadin seemed, Dam allowed him through.

"May I ask where on Xandar Bounty Hunters can pick up jobs?"

Harvey did not leave immediately upon hearing that. Instead, he asked directly.

He was unfamiliar with Xandar, and the fastest way to gather information was through the guards.

"You're a bounty hunter?"

"You don't look like one. You look more like some important figure."

Dam looked over the person dressed in such solemn and extraordinary attire with disbelief as he spoke.

"I once had a period of glory, but times have changed. I wish to earn some money by taking bounty hunter jobs."

Hearing the impression the other party had of him, Harvey seemed to have had a sore spot touched. He spoke with some embarrassment in his voice.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to touch on something painful."

"If you want to become a bounty hunter and take some jobs, head twenty kilometers east after entering the city, to the Link District."

"The Bounty Bar, where Bounty Hunters often gather, is there. It'll be easy to recognize."

"I hope you don't lose your life and can earn enough money to get through this difficult period."

Hearing this, Dam's eyes showed a trace of sympathy. He first apologized, then explained the route.

"Dam, thank you for your blessing. When my glory returns,"

"if you hear of my name and ever need my help, you may come find me. Perhaps I can help you once."

After hearing the detailed location, Harvey glanced at the man, his words carrying a hint of pleasure.

Across the universe, there were many whose homes had been destroyed and whose glory was gone, leaving them at the end of their rope. Having once spent money freely, they could no longer endure a life of poverty.

In the end, they chose to become Bounty Hunters in hopes of making a fortune again.

This person called Kassadin was neither the first nor would he be the last.

So Dam did not take those words to heart, though he still offered sincere encouragement on the surface.

"I hope that day comes, and I also hope you survive your bounty hunter jobs."

Having learned the location of his destination, Harvey did not linger any longer. He gave a slight nod and walked into the city.
