Afterword (Preparing for Infinity War) / You Want My Body? You're Shameless! ...

The purple giant raised his right golden gauntlet, pointing to a purple gem on his right index finger, and asked in a low voice, causing the black mist to tremble violently.

"Very well, our deal is done, Dormammu..."

The monarch on the throne stroked his golden gauntlets, responded in a deep voice, and a slight smile played on his lips.

As the black mist dissipated, the burly man with purple skin and a striped chin removed his helmet, pressed a button on the throne, and several Illusionary Screen connecting different cosmic realms appeared before his eyes.

In the frost-shrouded land of Niflheim, a group of pale blue giants are digging through solid ice to forge weapons...

In the gloomy, dust-filled world of Svartalfheim, a group of elves with pointed ears and ashen skin are fiddling with a sophisticated instrument containing a black liquid...

In Asgard, the home of the Asgardian God Clan, deep within the palace, two pale green flames flickered on and off.

The burly man with the striped chin looked at the golden gauntlet on his right hand, his lonely gaze lingering on the desolate planet for a long time, as if whispering to himself, or perhaps to everything that had passed away.

This world has become bloated and rotten; the time has come to correct the errors of the universe...

P. S.: I thought I could finish writing by midnight, but I ended up writing four chapters. It's a bit late, please forgive me.

This volume is finished. Please vote!

Volume 10 - Infinity War

Chapter 855 Epilogue (Preparation for Infinity War)

1. Volume 9 is finally finished. It has many foreshadowing elements, supplemented various settings for the integrated world view, and the content framework. Basically, this world is complete.

2. I've elevated the mythology system and power levels of Kyushu to the top level. Well, I guess that fulfills a dream of someone who's been a fan of Chinese mythology. I've consulted a lot of mythological materials, so there's some basis for it.

3. Despite experiencing being taken down, having its updates suspended, and its readership plummeting, I still managed to finish the story. Not only did I avenge Fu Hua, but the ending was also just as good as the initial setup—rational yet insane. At least the story is something I can be proud of.

(Actually, I only have a little over 300 new subscriptions. Uh, the author brothers in the group are willing to cut their subscriptions below 500. I guess I'm just a lazy bum.)

Okay, keep up the good work, give yourself a pep talk! The author is great, keep it up, and finish writing carefully!

4. Finally, the Infinity War will be an epic battle, a clash of flesh and blood unseen for a long time.

There is no right or wrong, only life or death, and the victor reigns supreme! In the clash of ideologies, might makes right!

If you've made it this far, please sign in before you leave, thanks!

P. S.: This is an extra chapter to make up for the missed update. There are only a few days left this month, so I'll be updating three times every other day. Please vote, leave comments, and keep reading!

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night everyone. Time for bed, bye-bye!

Chapter 818, Section 856: You lust after my body, you're shameless!

Shortly after the battle at the Tiandao Palace, in the Kunlun Secret Realm.

The group gathered here, looked at the Pioneer-class Battleship docked in the mountaintop platform area, and finally stared at Cang Xuan Dan Zhu, who was fully prepared for departure, as well as Lian Shan Ji Lin and the other three.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and tense. Fu Hua, Himeko, and Mei, who were most familiar with the four, hesitated to speak.

Kevin glanced at the entrance to the warship's cabin, where the Queen Mother of the West was quietly waiting, and the Kaiming Beast Lu Wu. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in them.

"Do you want me to help you take care of those two?"

A grateful smile spread across Cang Xuan's lips as he flicked his snake tail, elevating his body and hooking his right arm around Kevin's neck.

Immediately, the girl's expression changed drastically, and she suddenly pulled down with her slender arm, unleashing a barrage of shouts into Kevin's ear.

"Are you crazy?! If we take out the navigator, what kind of Hongmeng Galaxy are we going to? If we lose our way, we might end up as fossils in space!"

Then, Cang Xuan's eyes darted around, and he saw Fu Hua, who looked unconsciously nervous. He smirked, put on a fierce look, and showed his tiger teeth with a cold snort.

"I understand! You must be jealous of our Fu Hua!"

"To achieve your goal of seizing A-Fu, you actually plan to use someone else to kill him!"

"How come I never realized before, Kevin, you're so vicious!"

A love triangle? Can you use a different word to describe it? Kevin twitched his lips and rolled his eyes.

"You big idiot! If I really wanted to kill you all, I wouldn't need all this trouble. I could just catch you all, skewer you up, and roast the snake meat on the spot!"

"Wow! You've been exposed! So you not only had designs on Afu, but you also lust after our bodies! You're despicable! You beast!"

Cang Xuan immediately feigned panic, crossing his arms over his chest, but the barren airport had no undulations to conceal.

Roasted snake meat, huh? I'd love to try it. I've never seen one this big before. I wonder if it'll taste good.

Kiana and K423, who were standing behind Raiden Mei, peered through the gap at the blue snake tail swaying in front of them. Their thoughts became increasingly synchronized, and they both swallowed hard, lost in their own fantasies.

The three of them were tempted by a dish Kevin casually mentioned, and they also heard that the two of them had extremely strong regenerative abilities after completing the modification surgery.

If the captain really intends to take action, it wouldn't be unreasonable for us to secretly cut off a few pieces to try, would it?

As the three members of the Honkai Host Group whispered among themselves, Sirin couldn't help but turn her gaze to the red snake tail.

Achoo!

A sudden chill ran from his tailbone to the top of his head, making Cang Xuan shiver and feel a chill run down his spine.

Could it be that there's more than just one person lusting after them here? Earth is too dangerous, let's get out of here!

Cang Xuan smoothed the goosebumps off his arms with both hands, stopped joking around, became a little more serious, patted Kevin on the shoulder, and spoke with a slightly more solemn tone.

"Don't worry, I wasn't forced into it."

"Following the research vessel back to the Hongmeng Galaxy is our choice..."

"Judging from Lieyang Star's previous extreme actions in trying to obtain first-hand experimental data, it seems that the arrival of Ultimate Fear is not far off."

"Throughout history, those who calculate more have triumphed over those who calculate less, and those who are prepared have a better chance of being unprepared. The more we understand our greatest enemy now, the greater our chances of victory in the future."

"Besides, the four who chose to leave had no ties to them."

"We've been cooped up in space stations for thousands of years anyway, so we don't mind going on another interstellar adventure."

Kevin lowered his head, his gaze filled with reluctance.

"The Pangu Civilization is gone. For these insignificant possibilities, you've barely left Kunlun, and now you have to leave your homeland again. This is so unfair."

Cang Xuan smiled calmly, revealing a carefree attitude hidden deep within him, and patted Kevin on the shoulder.

"We are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to accumulate the factors for ultimate victory, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance!"

"It's just loneliness; don't underestimate a scientist's ability to endure solitude!"

"Besides, we haven't fully grasped some of the key aspects of gene-editing surgery yet, and we've been crawling on the ground using our tails all along, which is quite tiring."

Upon hearing this, the crowd ceased their attempts to dissuade them, but their forced smiles betrayed a hint of desolation and sadness in their eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, we asked you to come see me off, not to be my funeral attendee! Can you stop looking so mournful and cheer up!"

Cang Xuan stepped forward with a grin, mischievously pinching and kneading the faces of Fu Hua and the other two, making them look like funny faces.

"Smack!"

Behind her, her younger sister Dan Zhu, with red eyes and black hair, slapped her older sister Cang Xuan on the forehead in annoyance, then dragged her back by her blue snake tail.

At the same time, Dan Zhu, with her elegant and noble demeanor and mature presence, placed her hands on her abdomen and nodded slightly in apology.

"After saying all that, my silly older sister has caused you all trouble again. I'm so sorry..."

"Don't worry about us. The elimination of the Honkai and the suppression of natural disasters are all thanks to your hard work. It must have been very difficult."

"Now, after fifty thousand years of prayers, our wish has finally been fulfilled. We have a stable rear area, which allows us to focus on what we should be doing..."

"Since the crisis is not over yet, it's just our turn, sisters and Ji Lin and his wife, to take the stage now."

"It's just a trip; who knows, I'll be right back!"

Seeing that the four had made up their minds, Kevin sighed and could only wave his hand to tear through space, offering a gift to his four comrades-in-arms before parting.

As one beautifully packaged gift box after another was ejected from the Spatial Rift, the initially reserved comrades gradually became unable to look away, their throats bobbing incessantly.

Seeing the four people looking somewhat dazed, Kevin actually forgot to help, so he got up and went forward to help sort and introduce the items.

"This is for Dan Zhu. I've bought every popular comic book in Europe, America, Japan, China, and Korea..."

"From the rise of the animation industry to the current popular TV series, everything is recorded in these storage units..."

"As for figurines and merchandise, I don't know their preferences; I just picked out all the hottest items from major manufacturers this year..."

"To keep you entertained on the road, I've also customized a figure production line using reactive metals. If you have some free time, you can make your own..."

Dan Zhu, who has been fond of ACG culture since the previous generation, was so excited by the dazzling array of gifts that she was almost dizzy. Like a squirrel carrying a huge load of treasures, she swam around and moved them around.

Even suggestions to lend a hand were ruthlessly rejected; clearly, this reclusive girl had become completely addicted to the sense of accomplishment and happiness she felt from moving gifts one by one.

In any case, the Pangu Clan's space technology was unparalleled, and the space units inside the spaceship had enough space to accommodate her treasures.

Chapter 819, Section 857: A Brick in the Eye

Kevin then turned his head and waved to Cang Xuan.

"As for Cang Xuan, I mainly prepared books, basically encompassing the finest literary works created by Human Civilization in this era..."

"Also, knowing you like weird and unusual things, I've stuffed all the harmless gadgets contained by the SCP Foundation into this place. The storage is yours."

"That's it?" Cang Xuan looked at the books in front of him, then picked up the spatial crystal ball containing the harmless gadgets in his hand, feeling somewhat disheartened.

However, as his gaze delved deeper into the space, Cang Xuan, who had been nonchalant, took a deep breath.

She immediately hugged the crystal ball tightly to her chest, and when she looked up, she smiled broadly and gave Kevin a look that said, "You're very sensible."

The actual items displayed on the shelves numbered only a hundred, which was rather meager compared to the spacious warehouse.

But the key is the material of the warehouse itself! It's gold! Even the floor bricks are gold! The surrounding pillars and display shelves are lavishly inlaid with countless gemstones.

Moreover, the designer ingeniously created a structure resembling a dragon's lair, with the ground covered with gold and silver coins from various eras and other exquisite precious metal items.

Cang Xuan's eyes lit up; he wished he could immediately crawl back into the house, rush into the warehouse inside the crystal ball, and roll around throwing money around!

Well, genetically, although she has snake-like features, she also possesses the greedy characteristics of Western dragons.

When it was Ji Lin's and Lian Shan's turn, one of them received vacuum-packed delicacies from around the world, while the other received recipes, medical texts, and various plant seeds.

Before leaving, the four of them hugged or waved goodbye to Kevin and his friends.

Cang Xuan pulled Kevin to a secluded corner and frowned as he asked.

"By the way, I have a question. Without the Queen Mother of the West, Dormammu, the Dark Dimension Lord, is an even more uncertain factor. Are you still confident in holding back the Lieyang Star?"

In reality, on Lieyang Star, the Queen Mother of the West only agreed to help them once, after which they had to repair their warships and then let them travel far away.

Moreover, in order to entice this tigress to make a decision as soon as possible, Cang Xuan and the other three who stayed near the warship thought for a moment and then took the initiative to offer to accept the inheritance of the Pangu Civilization.

After everything is over, they are willing to board the warship, return to the Hongmeng Galaxy, and search for traces of the Pangu Civilization.

Only after completing this most mission-driven task did the Queen Mother of the West truly agree to side with Earth.

When negotiating with Dihong Kun, Kevin offered to send Queen Mother of the West away in order to intimidate Lieyang Star.

In reality, he was merely going with the flow to avoid an abnormal weakening of his own forces and arousing suspicion from the enemy.

Although the three main gods are still around, it's probably impossible for them to replicate the extreme home-swap game from last time.

The relationship between the two sides is currently in a delicate state. Cang Xuan is still somewhat worried that Lieyang Star might be shameless and launch a counterattack after Queen Mother of the West has left.

"To be honest, Dormammu is too dangerous. If he finds the weakness of the Time Stone, we might be the first to lose. So, I only dare to use it once."

Seeing that no one was around, Kevin decided to speak frankly.

"Your journey with the Queen Mother of the West has indeed lowered Earth's defenses to a minimum, but I've borrowed Reina, so at least the other side will be hesitant to act rashly..."

"Furthermore, I have gradually mastered the Power of the End and am currently trying to awaken the rule power of the Herrscher of Rock."

Cang Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"You plan to use the Herrscher of Rock's abilities to help the planet Lieyang Star repair itself, and use a policy of appeasement to mend relations between the two sides?"

Kevin nodded slightly, patted Cang Xuan's head, and smiled gently.
