The last time he saw it, the Grandmaster had only seen a bare Power Stone, but this time, he saw an offensive weapon capable of embedding the Power Stone.

These were two different concepts, and they also represented that this power was incredibly strong and controllable, already mastered by Leo, capable of releasing even greater might.

However, the Grandmaster immediately put on that smile again, his eyes fixed on the Power Stone on Leo's wrist, "Oh, this is truly beautiful, so beautiful!! I really want to collect it."

"That doesn't sound like a very good suggestion."

Leo smiled slightly, and at the same time, a faint yellow energy lit up on his body, which was the energy flow of the Mind Stone.

At this, the Grandmaster's smile froze, 'Mind Stone, he's already utilizing it...'

Three Cosmic Stones gathered in one body, yet Leo appeared to have no problems. One could even clearly see the energy flow of the Power Stone being absorbed.

Leo was an energy black hole; any energy that posed no threat was absorbed into his body. This kind of talent, this kind of ability, could only be possessed by a Source Body.

The Grandmaster watched Leo, who still had a slight smile on his face, without any trace of fear. He merely spoke with even more respect in his tone.

"Perhaps you are right, this perfect collection can only unleash its true purpose and beauty in your hands."

As the Grandmaster praised, Leo was already scanning the new display cases around him.

Although not much time had passed since the last battle, the entire place had been renovated. Even the display cases in their original positions had been replaced, and quite a few new collections had been added inside.

There were still strange and bizarre life forms, and a pile of peculiar creatures. There was even a pool of moving mud, and a creature resembling a fluffy little rabbit.

Leo even saw a Pegasus, exactly like the ones kept in Asgard, confined in a display case.

It looked quite novel. It seemed to be a recently acquired collection. Leo had originally thought such creatures only existed in Asgard, so it wasn't considered too rare.

Of course, anything that made it into the Grandmaster's Collection Room was considered a treasure of the universe.

"Do you want to see my new collection? All good stuff found recently, absolute masterpieces. Unfortunately, I lost quite a few incredibly precious collections last time."

Seeing Leo's gaze sweeping around, the Grandmaster quickly said.

"Masterpieces? Not necessarily!"

Leo said, a smile appearing on his face, "Take that Pegasus for example, I've seen several like it."

Leo's words instantly made the Grandmaster's expression falter slightly, but facing Leo, the Grandmaster naturally wouldn't get angry.

"This Nida Pegasus is the last Pegasus in the Nida Galaxy, an extremely remote galaxy in the universe. Perhaps you should take a good look, this is different from other Pegasi."

The Grandmaster said, a hint of defiance in his eyes.

Leo's eyes scanned it carefully, even seeing through the entire Pegasus. Then he stated with certainty, "Yes, I've seen Pegasi like this, exactly the same."

"You've been to the Nida Galaxy?"

Difan saw his collection being treated like this and immediately asked.

"No, I don't know what the Nida Galaxy is, but there's another place with this kind of horse, and they've even established a breeding scale."

"The breeding cycle of these winged horses is extremely long, yet their combat power is nothing special. On that Nida Civilization Planet, these winged horses are revered as Divine Objects, but they are extremely rare. This is the last winged horse on that planet, I can guarantee it!"

Difan said with such certainty.

"Asgard, there are still such herds of winged horses in Asgard. Although the numbers are not large, there are still a few."

Leo's words instantly calmed the somewhat agitated Difan. "Asgard?"

"Alright, it seems I don't need to protect this horse anymore. Asgard can take better care of it than I can."

In just a few seconds, Difan immediately calmed down and said to Leo, as if his previous anger was just a joke.

"This horse cannot reproduce on its own. Why don't you send it to Asgard, Leo? It can also find a companion there."

Difan smiled at Leo and said.

"You should keep it for now. After all, this thing is still a rare item. I've only seen it in Asgard."

Leo shook his head and said.

"Let's talk about business first."

Leo looked at Difan, speaking directly to him.

"Business? What business? I just wanted to see you. Perhaps I can treat you to a delicious meal."

Difan said with a playful grin again. If anyone else saw this, they would tremble, because if Difan showed them this demeanor, nothing good would happen next.

Although Difan didn't have to worry about anyone spreading word of his appearance, Lord Difan, in the Void, maintained that tall, dignified, and powerful image throughout the universe.

But those close to Difan were extremely fearful of it.

"Your purpose in finding me is definitely not this simple. Just say it directly."

Leo said.

"How about we chat while we eat? I've prepared a meal that I've been looking forward to for a long time. Come, come, I guarantee you've never eaten anything like it. Many of them are classics I created myself."

Difan said to Leo.

Leo frowned slightly, looking at Difan. "You must have found me about the Cosmic Stones. I know the specifics of five of them. The only reason you'd seek me out is for the Soul Stone, which is still missing. What are you hesitating for?"

Leo's bluntness made Difan freeze, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"Since you're unwilling to speak first, I'll speak first. You know I'm in a bit of a hurry this time. Difan, do you know about Void Spirit Gold?"

Leo said directly.

Di Fan seemed a bit taken aback by the response. For thousands of years, no one had dared to refuse a direct invitation.

But seeing the tricolored light flashing on Leo, Di Fan felt a sense of helplessness. A flicker of resentment appeared in his eyes, but it quickly faded and disappeared.

"Void Spirit Gold, wow, that's a rare item. It's only appeared twice so far. Leo, you know about this, which means you have some clues."

Di Fan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly to Leo.
