The Other Revived
"Find his true form and seize his Star Core?"
"What's the meaning?"
Hela was puzzled.
Murder was her specialty.
Countless were chopped off on the battlefield.
But judging from the Collector's words, killing this man seems like a lot of trouble.
"Ego is a very peculiar being."
"To put it simply, you can think of it as the manifestation of the will of a planet." The Collector casually took out a glass bead, placed it in his palm, blew on it, and a little figure popped out of the glass bead, waving and greeting Hela.
"Like this."
"His birth, his very existence, is a miracle of the universe."
"To truly kill him, you must find his physical body, which is the planet that gave birth to his will; otherwise, you simply cannot kill him."
After saying that, the Collector crushed the little figure dancing in his palm, and a new little figure was born from the glass ball.
Click!
The Collector crushed the glass ball, Hela understood.
"Ego is very vigilant, so I suggest you don't rush to reveal your true purpose when you first meet him."
The Collector, who had long disliked this humanoid self-propelled pile driver, told Hela everything he knew, as well as Robin, who had been following him.
The idea of using Ego's original Star Core to cultivate this extremely beautiful cosmic flower after it bloomed was something the Collector suddenly came up with after seeing the video in Robin's hands.
Thirty million years have passed; he has been on this planet for a full thirty million years. For these thirty million years, the Xiangluo Tribe, as slaves, have worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk to mine resources to supply the Flower of Life. Yet, even so, the Flower of Life has only grown to the point of sprouting a bud.
It's clearly too early to expect it to fully bloom.
Ego's appearance perfectly solved the Collector's waiting problem.
Anyway, this planet in heat only knows how to research biological breeding technology all day long. It has even mocked him a few times for being brainless. In the eyes of the Collector, using him as fertilizer is not a loss at all.
Anyway, it wasn't him who made the move. If Hela couldn't Hela, he could just blame it on Odin.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
As the three reached the manor gate, the Collector suddenly turned around and looked at Robin, who hadn't said much, asking, "How did you get Ego's recording?"
This was something he had been curious about for a while.
Given Ego's cunning nature, how could he possibly allow himself to be filmed in such a shameful way?
If he were to put the video recording inside this chip up for auction, he could definitely make a hefty profit.
Um?
Wait,
It seems like this is indeed a viable option?
The Collector, who had been thinking about it, suddenly had a bright idea for making a fortune. He had been eyeing those limited-edition treasures in that guy's possession for a long time.
"My lord the Collector, it was given to me by a man named Beckett."
Robin, with a cross-shaped scar on her cheek, said Beckett's name without hesitation.
"Beckett?"
"Beckett, Son of Thanos from the Centaurus Galaxy?"
Upon suddenly hearing the familiar name, Hela frowned and asked in a low voice.
"You know him?"
Robin raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The Centaurus Galaxy is very far from the Nine Realms, so how did these two meet?
Hela remained silent for a long time before nodding.
How come I keep running into that guy no matter where I go?
"What is he doing in Gafa?" Hela asked instinctively out of curiosity.
"Judging from his expression, it's for a mechanical component—"
Rumble!
Before Robin could finish speaking, the sky above Gafa suddenly darkened, and the dense rumbling of thunderclouds made everyone in Gafa look up at the sky.
What happened?
"This is,"
"The aura of the Infinity Stones?" The Collector, who knew the most about the Infinity Stones in the entire Gafa, changed his expression, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"And there's more than one."
Gafa, with a glamorous woman wrapped around his waist, stood by the window, watching the thunderclouds overhead with great interest. Meanwhile, Ego, who had been spending lavishly at an entertainment venue, stood with his arm around her waist.
In this universe, are there really people who have nothing better to do than collect the Infinity Stones?
Even beings of their caliber don't know the exact whereabouts of the Six Infinity Stones, so why would anyone go to such lengths to collect them?
Moreover, it seems that they have already collected two.
"Interesting."
After downing his drink in one gulp and chewing on an ice cube, Ego leaped out of the second-floor window, shook his shoulders, and headed straight down to where the lightning and thunder were.
He was very curious about which idiot it was.
Five minutes ago, at Beckett's residence.
The Energy Devouring Beast crouched in the corner, looking up at Beckett with a blank expression as he reached out his hand to it.
"Spit out the Aether."
Beckett gave the order with a cold expression.
Meow~
The Energy Devouring Beast stuck out its tongue and licked its lips, nuzzled Beckett's hand with its round little head, and blinked its big eyes at him.
Its fluffy tail wagged from side to side, and it whimpered in a babyish voice.
A silvery-white energy ball appeared in Beckett's palm.
"Meow!"
The Energy Devouring Beast continued wagging its tail and making childish noises.
Beckett then rolled out a larger dumpling.
Meow~
Forced to crouch in the corner, the Energy Devouring Beast raised its right forepaw as if patting something in the void, blinked its adorable eyes, and tilted its head to meow.
"..."
Beckett's face darkened.
Especially with Zola watching over him.
"Don't go too far."
Beckett clasped his hands together and then rolled out a dumpling as tall as a person, placing it in front of the Energy Devouring Beast.
"Meow!"
The orange figure let out a cheerful shout, and the slender figure darted like Flash onto the giant dumpling.
"Rua!"
He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of dark, liquid substance.
Whoosh!
Upon seeing this, Beckett activated his mind, and a surge of immense energy erupted instantly!
His jet-black hair stood on end in the invisible shockwave, turning golden in an instant!
The Mind Stone, which had been prepared beforehand, was seized, and the dark Aether, attracted by it, entered Beckett's body directly!
"Ah!!!!!!"
The powers of the two Infinity Stones collided within Beckett's body without any power conversion medium. Under his difficult guidance, this complex energy acted directly on the biological tissue containing the core data of The Other and the mechanical components beside it!
"Give me,"
Because there was no medium, the power of the two gems surged wildly within Beckett's body, causing his muscles to swell and his veins to bulge!
"Give me life!!!!"
Clenching his teeth, he filtered the power of the two gems into a milder form and then channeled it into The Other's biological tissue!
Rumble!!!
A fierce wind was blowing outside the window, accompanied by lightning and thunder!
"Ah!!!!!!"
Upbraid!
A bolt of Flash flashed across Beckett's face. Under Zola's trembling gaze, the biological tissue slowly began to writhe and gradually enveloped the mechanical component Beckett had traded for...
"Beckett, Your Highness?"
The backend crashed, I'm so frustrated, this server is just awful...
