You're Still Far From It

"It's quite surprising to hear you say something like that."

Hela sneered, mercilessly mocking her.

So what is your ideal?

"Should all those slaves be killed?"

"To prevent them from becoming like you were thirty million years ago, turning around and overthrowing your rule after gaining power?"

Robin remained silent, gazing intently at Hela for a long time before finally speaking, "Do you know how much of this planet's resources the Collector's Flower of Life draws from each year?"

Hela raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

"In addition to abundant life force, there are resources enough for an entire planet."

"That's why the Collector wants you to seize the Ego the Living Planet Core."

Robin paused, then turned and looked out the window again.

"The planet is still prosperous enough, but the Flower of Life has not yet fully bloomed."

All the resources of Knowhere have always been one of the conditions for the Flower of Life to bloom, but the Collector has never revealed it.

The Collector wouldn't care if a bountiful planet became barren because of him, but Robin would.

He did not want to see his people living such a miserable life, which was no different from that of the slaves.

The biggest reason for the Xiangluo Tribe was not the resentment that outsiders speculated, but rather that Robin wanted to use the lives of those slaves to delay the Collector's progress as much as possible.

Delaying his progress will make this planet barren.

Robin spent millions of years transforming his race to create a rich and superior living environment, and he would never allow anyone to destroy it.

Therefore, he was willing to lower himself in front of the Collector.

There was no other way; his greatest asset—the mechanical behemoth whose full power was enough to destroy a star—was a gift from the Collector.

However, when it comes to dealing directly with the Collector, Robin finds it difficult to fully trust them.

However, the Soul Stone map in Hela's possession is different.

Once he obtains the Soul Stone, along with the two Infinity Stones in Beckett's possession, he will have the means to make the Collector leave Knowhere with the Flower of Life.

For this reason, they were willing to offend Asgard and the Dark Order.

Moreover, the Nine Realms are already in chaos, and it's uncertain whether Odin will cause him trouble as long as he doesn't harm Hela.

As for Thanos, he won't be afraid of him when he has the three Infinity Stones in his hands.

Are you really that confident you can fool the Collector?

Hela withdrew the sarcasm from her eyes, gazed at the man looking into the distance, and asked in a low voice.

"So what if we managed to hide it, and so what if we didn't?"

"The resources of Knowhere are only one of the conditions for the Flower of Life to bloom. Before it meets the other conditions, it also needs a stable environment to nurture it."

"What I need to fight for is just this period of time."

"Tomorrow, I will set off to find the Soul Stone, so someone else will take you onto the spaceship and send you back to Asgard."

Robin knew all too well that things could go wrong if the night was long.

Especially when it comes to the important matter of obtaining the Infinity Stones.

"Tomorrow?"

"It seems you're not the only ones who know the location of the Soul Stone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors to the hall turned to dust in an instant and vanished from the world.

"?"

The sudden attack made Robin frown.

As the smoke cleared, Beckett, dressed in a loose black Battle Suit, appeared at the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest, his crimson tail still coiled around an unconscious Gafar guard, his face full of disdain.

The figure that appeared right after her made Robin's furrowed brows relax.

Jennifer with short, golden, ear-length hair.

"Beckett?!"

Hela, chained to the cross, looked at the figure that appeared at the door, her expression full of surprise.

"Hela?"

"You have this hobby?"

"..." Hela's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

If she could, she really wanted to throw the cross behind her at Beckett's face.

"You have this hobby?" Listen to this, is that even human language?

Ah?!

"Your hobby is quite unique too." Hela retorted without hesitation, not to be outdone, her gaze fixed on Jennifer standing next to Beckett.

Isn't that the female lead in Ego's video? Do you really think she hasn't seen the movie?

"Let go of that woman! Robin!" Jennifer roared, thinking she had stumbled upon Robin's [crime], purple light gathering around her fists.

Hela's face darkened further.

What kind of bizarre thought process is this? No wonder they were able to get together.

"Beckett, Son of Thanos, you should not interfere in this matter."

Robin didn't even bother to glance at Jennifer, her gaze fixed firmly on Beckett.

Everything went as he had predicted.

Beckett, who possessed two Infinity Stones, was personally brought before him by Jennifer.

"I hate the look in your eyes."

Beckett frowned, a strange sense of disgust in Robin's eyes.

Buzz!

As the atmosphere remained tense, an energy shield suddenly appeared around the Knowhere Control Center, completely enveloping the entire building.

"Oh, this familiar energy... Has that old codger come too?!"

Robin raised an eyebrow, his expression showing not fear, but rather a hint of nostalgia.

"Shut up! You shameless old thief!"

Robin's verbal insults towards Gubo were unacceptable to Jennifer.

That was the sage who raised her!

The purple energy surrounding his fists slammed into the ground, and two ripples instantly reached and cracked the ground beneath Robin's feet, striking his purple armor, only to be completely neutralized in the next second.

"What?!"

Jennifer looked incredulous.

"Your teaching skills for your apprentices have deteriorated."

"Jennifer is already second only to you in talent, Robin." After a sigh, Gubo, leaning on his cane, slowly appeared in the arena.

"Really? Should I say something then?"

"Thank you for your praise, teacher."

Looking down at the thin, short figure before him, Robin's eyes were as pure as when they broke ties with him thirty million years ago.

"Teacher?"

Jennifer, who wanted to continue her attack, looked completely bewildered.

"It seems you haven't told Jennifer anything about me."

"That's true, after all, we have nothing to do with each other anymore." Robin's eyes changed, and his overwhelming aura instantly broke through the energy barrier and pointed straight to the sky!

"The helmet I crafted myself is immune to your Mind Stone reading."

"So, teacher, I've come to kill you!"

Snap!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Robin appeared in Beckett's path, blocking his way and firmly grasping his right arm with his left hand.

"Killing someone in front of me,"

His dark pupils were instantly tinged with emerald green, and his golden hair fluttered along with his indifferent voice!

You still have a long way to go.

There won't be a third update today. I haven't quite recovered yet, and my mind is a bit of a mess...
