Became a Cosmic Celebrity by Accident

On planet CY-27, an old-fashioned, seemingly unremarkable transport ship quietly departed, disappearing without a trace as it traversed a space node.

It was the ship of Zereel, the leader of the Chitauri. It was disguised as an old ship to avoid suspicion, but in reality, it was powerful and armed to the teeth.

The transport ship was very large, so Russell loaded the Cybertron jet fighters into the cabin and evacuated CY-27 as quickly as possible.

He had previously exerted his full power in outer space, destroying eight Black Order warships, and the remaining warships surrounding the planet retreated. In fact, most of the warships were still on the Chitauri homeworld; only a small portion had come here.

That's why Russell wanted to leave as soon as possible. Wars between cosmic civilizations are not just about naval gunfire, but also about gravitational collapse bombs that can destroy planets.

He has a few powerful cards, but even the strongest cards can't stop a black hole. At this point, a strategic shift is the right thing to do!

Queen of Heaven, dozens of warships of the Black Order surrounded planet CY-27. Dense air and ground forces were deployed, and only after finding the broken Golden Blade did they begin to retreat one by one.

Far beyond the stars, in a vast region of asteroids, lies the Sanctuary Dark Domain.

A black throne floated in mid-air, and a figure with purple skin and covered in golden armor gazed into the distance. He had an exceptionally strong physique, and even when he was still, his body exuded a breathtakingly powerful force.

Thanos!

With his immense power, he intimidates the universe and is considered a dangerous figure by many interstellar civilizations, a fearsome cosmic overlord!

Below the throne, several other figures stood in various places, each exuding a powerful aura.

"Thanos, my master, we have found Corvus Glaive, but... he has already sacrificed himself." The soldier knelt before the throne, holding the Glaive high above his head with both hands.

"This is impossible. Who killed him?"

Emerging from the shadows was a voluptuous female alien clad in armor. She held a golden spear, her long, sky-blue hair tied back, and a visor covering her face, revealing only her eyes that blazed with fury.

Ebony Maw!

One of the Black Order, she is utterly loyal to Thanos, arguably the most so. She is also Corvus Glaive's lover, and because of Russell, she is now a widow.

"Widow" is a bit of an exaggeration; it's more accurate to say "widowed" or "forced into singlehood."

The floating throne turned around, Thanos coldly stared at the broken Glaive, glancing at the soldiers prostrate on the ground. "Who was it? Who killed him?"

The immense pressure was overwhelming. The soldier dared not speak, and tremblingly opened his arm terminal, projecting images taken on planet CY-27.

In the silent scene, Russell's figure appeared, from the Outriders falling like Domino, to him unleashing an infinite reload of Cero and the pack of wolves that destroyed the warships, and finally venturing into outer space to destroy all eight warships, everything was clearly shown.

The scene ended there, finally settling on Russell's magnified features, his cold, piercing eyes. The alien high-tech was crystal clear; you could even count the number of eyelashes.

The sanctuary was silent. The few people in the shadows were shocked by the terrifying destructive power Russell had displayed, and even the most furious Ebony Maw remained silent.

Only Thanos remained unmoved. "Who is he? Have you found out his identity?"

"We found an identity; his name is Jason, and he's Kree," the soldier hurriedly replied. "But after verification, it was discovered that this is a false identity; there is no such person in the Kree Empire."

"Keep searching! Expand the search area! Search the entire universe to find him!"

"Yes, my master!"

The floating throne turned towards the starry universe, and light shone on Thanos's left Infinity Gauntlet, where a gem emitted a deadly brilliance.

"Has the leader of the Chitauri been found?"

"No, not a single word."

"Destroy their homeworld, send Corvus Glaive to his final resting place..."

Kontraxia!

Russell received the supplies he had ordered while in planetary orbit. Now that he was a celebrity, any public appearance would attract a large crowd.

The Black Order issued a bounty on Russell's head across the galaxy, with an astronomical sum of money on the wanted list. The amount was so large that even he was envious. If it weren't for the others' persuasive advice, he would have already gone to Thanos to exchange the money.

Besides Russell, Natasha and Zereel were also on the bounty list, as was Jason, whose masked, Deadman appearance was marked as dead or alive.

Thanks to the Black Order's propaganda, Russell's feat of single-handedly destroying nine warships and killing Corvus Glaive became legendary throughout the galaxy. Countless forces were searching for him, many coveting his power and wanting to recruit or join him. Many more were after his money; whoever discovered and confirmed his whereabouts would receive a huge sum of money from the Black Order.

"I've become a celebrity in the universe without even realizing it. How am I supposed to maintain my low-key style now? Do you think it's a good idea for me to take a selfie and send it to the Dark Church for some pocket money?" Russell swallowed hard as he looked at the amount on the bounty poster before looking away.

Natasha turned her head away, not wanting to comment. Her boss was acting silly again; it happened several times a day. She was used to it!

In fact, Russell is very rich now. Based on the principle that what belongs to the younger brother belongs to the older brother and what belongs to the older brother belongs to the older brother, he has confiscated all of the Chitauri leader Zereel's private coffers and changed his surname to Russell.

Imagine the wealth a civilization has accumulated over a long period of time, used as start-up capital to revitalize its race—just think about how substantial its resources are now.

"Chief, all equipment has been handed over, and the quantity is correct. We've checked it; there are no locators on the transport ship, so it's safe," the Chitauri soldier said, saluting.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zereel nodded and waved him away. Turning back, he put on a smiling face, "My master, your things are ready. It's time to depart."

Russell dropped his money-grubbing act and asked coldly, "Have all the transport ships been received?"

"Acceptance complete, our people have been replaced."

"Very good, let's set off!" Russell nodded and snapped his the Snap.

On Kontraxia, Selovi, Skrull and Russell's first underling in the universe, suddenly stared blankly and opened his office drawer in a daze.

He took out a miniature remote-controlled bomb, sat on it, pressed the button, and it exploded into pieces in the air.

This is a destabilizing factor, but taking him away wouldn't be very meaningful. Even if he were to reveal his identity as a black market merchant, he would be of no value to Russell.

To prevent his whereabouts from being revealed, he had no choice but to make this sacrifice!

"Reconnoiter the space node, then we'll return to Earth. Natasha, you pilot the spaceship. There's no rush this time; consider it practice." After saying this, Russell closed his eyes to rest. Koyat Stark's Character Card was quite impressive; the system evaluation indicated he had learned a permanent skill.
