Xixing prepared to reclaim her race’s treasure, leaving Chuxing behind with a timer and a promise to return. Meanwhile, Rocket led the Guardians toward a dangerous job for a fortune, convinced he had the situation under control.

• Xixing gave Chuxing an hourglass timer and told her to return to their home planet if Xixing had not come back before it ran out.
• Chuxing pleaded with Xixing not to leave, but Xixing geared up with her race’s armor and weapons to recover their final hope.

• Aboard the eagle-shaped spaceship, Rocket checked the crew’s supplies while arguing with Groot and Star-Lord Quill.
• Gamora warned Rocket and Quill that their mission to retrieve something more powerful than the Infinity Stones was dangerously risky.
• Rocket brushed off Gamora’s concerns, citing his bombs and Lin Feng’s distress beacon as backup while chasing the ten-billion-cash reward.

Quill, Rocket, and Gamora set off for the Ninnikla Sector, unaware that Yondu was secretly following them to claim their treasure. As both crews endured an absurd number of painful jumps, Hela noticed their passing ships while traveling toward Asgard on a White Wolf.

• Rocket launched the spacecraft toward the Ninnikla Sector before Quill and Gamora could stop him, beginning a journey of over eighteen hundred spatial jumps.

Lin Feng traced the Cosmic Cube’s shifting coordinates to a small, jumping black hole in the Ninnikla Galaxy, where several armed factions were waiting nearby. Star-Lord’s Guardians of the Galaxy arrived after 1,800 jumps, exhausted and sick, while Rocket revealed his plan was to steal the Cube from whoever found it first.

• Lin Feng traveled to a point about one galaxy from the Cosmic Cube’s coordinates and used his senses to search the Ninnikla Galaxy.

• The Guardians recovered from the jumps’ effects, and Rocket explained that they would wait for another faction to find the treasure and then steal it.
• Quill asked to turn back, but Rocket told him it was too late.

As factions gathered around the shrinking black hole in the Ninikla system, Lin Feng spotted Xixing fighting an overwhelming opponent. He rescued the succubus landlady and asked why she had come to the system.

• Lin Feng watched more factions arrive for the Cosmic Cube, including the Guardians of the Galaxy, Hela, three Celestials, and a massive Black Cat.
• The factions gathered around the black hole, and some began fighting as they waited for the Cosmic Cube to appear.
• A week later, Lin Feng sensed Xixing fighting a heavily armored lizard-like alien several light-years away.
• Lin Feng crossed the distance, dodged the alien's attack, and slapped it into dust.
• Lin Feng turned to the wounded Xixing and asked why she had come to the Ninikla system.

Lin Feng healed Xixing after rescuing her from a lizardman and learned she had come seeking the Cosmic Cube, which her people called the Origin of Knowledge. Xixing revealed that the cube had once belonged to her nearly extinct race, but Lin Feng questioned why her ancestors had lost it to space pirates.

• Lin Feng healed Xixing's wounds and restored her battle suit, then asked why she had come to the dangerous region.

• Xixing explained that her race called the Cosmic Cube the Origin of Knowledge and that their ancestors had received it from gods.
• Xixing said interstellar pirates had attacked her people, and the elders had used the cube to help her and her younger sister escape as apparent survivors.
• Lin Feng questioned how Xixing's people could have lost the cube to mere space pirates despite possessing it.

Lin Feng learned how Xixing’s people lost their home world and agreed to protect her while she used the Cosmic Cube to restore it. Their deal included Lin Feng’s unusual request to see how succubi reproduced, but they first had to retrieve the Cosmic Cube from the black hole.

• Lin Feng questioned how Xixing’s people could have been defeated by space pirates despite possessing the Cosmic Cube, and Xixing explained that its previous user had destroyed many pirates before the Cube vanished.
• Xixing revealed that her people could sense the Cosmic Cube’s location and said the pirates had made their home planet uninhabitable after it disappeared.
• Xixing offered Lin Feng the Cosmic Cube in exchange for his protection while she used it to restore her home world and revive her race.

• Xixing warned Lin Feng that the Cosmic Cube would soon emerge from the black hole and told him to get ready.

The Guardians of the Galaxy spotted Lin Feng near Xixing and worried that he was after the same treasure they wanted. Lin Feng teleported Xixing onto their ship, where he revealed that powerful forces were already gathering around the tiny black hole.

• Drax recognized Lin Feng as the man who had taken Xixing, and Rocket warned the others about his immense power.
• Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket discussed whether to abandon the treasure hunt or contact Lin Feng, and Rocket sent him a Distress Beacon.
• Lin Feng teleported onto the Guardians' ship with Xixing and introduced Rocket as the magical creature he had promised her.

Lin Feng waited for the Cosmic Cube to emerge, only to discover that it had split into ten copies and sparked a battle among the factions in the star system. Xixing identified the real Cube in the mouth of a fleeing Black Cat.

• Lin Feng warned Rocket and the others that the factions competing for the Cube were too powerful, so they left the star system to watch from a distance, with Yondu secretly following them.
• As the small black hole neared its deadline, Xixing sensed the Cube’s arrival and helped Lin Feng prepare to seize it.
• The black hole shattered and released ten blue cubes, prompting the nearby factions to attack one another in a fierce scramble.
• Lin Feng teleported into the battle with Xixing and blocked incoming energy blasts with his Bio-Force Field.
• Xixing traced the real Cosmic Cube to a truck-sized Black Cat carrying it in its mouth.

Black Cat swallowed the Cosmic Cube, drawing every phantom Cube in the universe into her stomach, while Lin Feng tried to escape with her and Xixing. The Celestials blocked his Instant Transmission, and Lin Feng unleashed a devastating Heat Vision attack across the battlefield.

• Black Cat evaded attacks until a Celestial struck her and interrupted her attempt to teleport away.
• Lin Feng intercepted Black Cat, but she swallowed the Cosmic Cube before he could take it from her.
• The phantom Cubes held by factions across the universe flew into Black Cat's stomach, prompting the combatants to fire on her.
• Lin Feng grabbed Black Cat and Xixing and attempted to escape with Instant Transmission, but three Celestials pulled him back.
• Lin Feng shielded Black Cat and Xixing, then rose above them and spun while firing Heat Vision that tore through spaceships, meteorites, and the cosmic villains.

Lin Feng unleashed Heat Vision across the battlefield, destroying most of the attacking fleets and forcing the survivors to flee. He then vaporized the two remaining Celestials, while Hela stayed hidden and waited for a chance to claim the Cosmic Cube.

• Quill and Rocket decided to retreat, but Rocket's return command triggered another jump sequence and carried the Guardians' ship away with Yondu aboard.

• Lin Feng vaporized the earth-armored Celestial and then destroyed the two remaining Celestials when they tried to teleport away.

After defeating three Celestials, Lin Feng learned nothing of their plan to wait for AAO, then captured Hela when she tried to ambush him for the Cosmic Cube. Hela denied her identity as Odin’s wanted daughter, leaving Lin Feng to recognize that she was the woman he had been hired to capture.

• Seven Celestials discussed their failed attempt to obtain the Cosmic Cube and decided to wait for AAO to return before reporting Lin Feng’s power.
• Lin Feng sensed someone behind him and dodged a blade thrust by Hela, who was riding White Wolf.
• Hela tried to flee after her attack missed, but Lin Feng used a magical black rope to bind and reel her in.
• White Wolf ran away, while Hela struggled against the rope and declared herself queen of Asgard.
• Lin Feng told Hela that Odin had hired him to capture a woman named Hela, and she wondered how he could know Odin.

Lin Feng brought Hela, Xixing, and Black Cat to Asgard after agreeing to help Xixing restore her planet with the Cosmic Cube. Hela confronted Odin and Frigga with furious hatred, and Odin asked Lin Feng to release her so he could face her directly.
