Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng persuaded Lotlyn to swear allegiance by promising protection and the possibility of resurrection. After she accepted, he assigned her intelligence duties, including investigating people who wore the Black Robes’ attire.

Lin Feng ordered his clone to accelerate Krypton’s development with an Infinity Stone-powered radiation tower, while Lotlyn returned to her crew after meeting Natasha. She told them how overwhelmingly powerful Lin Feng was, leaving the frightened team facing the consequences of having provoked him.

• Lin Feng gave his clone an Infinity Stone and instructed him to build a radiation tower to strengthen the Kryptonians faster.

• Lotlyn returned to her ship, where her companions debated fleeing after learning about Lin Feng.
• Lotlyn explained that Lin Feng’s casual attack could destroy a small planet and that even a much stronger team could not challenge him.

• The team reacted with disbelief, joy, and fear as they realized the planet might fulfill their long-held hopes.

Lotlyn’s team discovered that Kadra had seen the Black Robes on Mofu Mo Transit Star two years earlier, and Lotlyn summoned Lin Feng to hear the information. Lin Feng arrived safely and asked Kadra to explain what she knew.

• Kadra recognized the Black Robes in Lin Feng’s picture and recalled seeing three of them at a bar on Mofu Mo Transit Star.
• Lotlyn pressed the Distress Beacon to summon Lin Feng, eager to report the discovery.
• Lin Feng sensed the beacon while discussing plans with his clone in the DC Universe and immediately left.
• Lin Feng appeared aboard Lotlyn’s spaceship and realized that no one was in danger.
• Lotlyn introduced Kadra, who stepped forward to tell Lin Feng about the Black Robes.

Kadra told Lin Feng that she had overheard the Black Robes discussing a transaction and moving their base to Mofu Mo Transit Star, prompting him to obtain its coordinates. After Lin Feng rewarded Lotlyn with a Wand and left, Lotlyn explained its value to her team and offered it to Kadra.

• Kadra recounted overhearing the Black Robes mention a transaction, moving a base, withdrawal, and an accelerated advance on Mofu Mo Transit Star.
• Lin Feng asked Lotlyn for the transit star's coordinates, told her team to settle among the Starfolk and begin intelligence work, and rewarded her with a Wand.
• A team member complained that the reward was only a little twig, and Lotlyn warned everyone not to demand more from Lin Feng.
• Lotlyn explained that Lin Feng had already given them a home and protection, then offered the Wand to Kadra for providing the information.
• Kadra declined the Wand, but Lotlyn revealed that it could unleash a planet-destroying attack twice and contained other powerful spells.

Lotlyn gave Kadra a Wand, and Kadra passed it to Pao Pao, who used its healing magic to treat their companions. Once the team set off through a Portal to the Starfolk to build a home, Lin Feng decided their harmony needed no further testing and prepared to travel to Mofu Mo Transit Star.

• Lotlyn demonstrated the Wand’s support spells, then gave the brown Wand to Kadra, who had admitted she was wrong to call it a little twig.
• Kadra gave the Wand to Pao Pao because it was too small for her and suited the mermaid medic’s healing work.
• Pao Pao used the Wand’s healing spells to quickly treat the injured companions, impressing the team.
• Lotlyn led the team toward the Starfolk, opened a Portal with her Wand, and watched their ship leave the Transit Star.
• Lin Feng watched the team depart, decided they had passed his test, and used Instant Transmission to head for Mofu Mo Transit Star.

Lin Feng traveled to Dapus’s prosperous Transit Star to investigate a bar where Kadra had seen someone in Black Robes. After Jolin stole his bracelet and planned to sell it to fund her escape, Lin Feng walked away with a smile, leaving her unaware of the danger.

• Lin Feng bypassed the planetary shield and headed toward MAX R, taking photos as he walked.
• A heavily made-up woman named Jolin tried to lure Lin Feng into a storefront, but he knocked her aside with his Bio-Force Field and continued on.
• After Lin Feng left, Jolin revealed that she had stolen his gemstone bracelet and showed it to Yana and another woman.
• Yana warned Jolin to return the bracelet, but Jolin refused and said she would sell it to buy a spacecraft and escape the planet.
• Jolin told Yana she would take her along once she made a fortune, then prepared to sell the bracelet and flee.

After Jolin stole Lin Feng’s wristband, he caught her and decided to take her along to learn about the planet. Yana tried to intervene, but Lin Feng brought her too, while a bystander mistook his intentions and chose not to get involved.

• Jolin apologized and returned Lin Feng’s wristband, but ran when he asked her to do something for him.
• Lin Feng caught Jolin, who struggled and accused him of letting her steal the wristband on purpose.
• Yana asked Lin Feng to release Jolin and offered to take her place.
• Lin Feng learned that Yana had lived on the planet all her life and brought her along with Jolin to question them.
• A woman in red assumed Lin Feng wanted both women and looked away to avoid trouble.

Rocket learned that Yana had been taken away after offending Lin Feng and decided to ask Lin Feng to spare her, despite Star-Lord’s warnings. Rocket followed Lin Feng, who was carrying Jolin and two others while silencing Jolin with his ability.

• The supervisor learned that Yana had been dragged away and replaced her at the shop entrance with another young woman.
• Rocket questioned the young woman in red at gunpoint and learned that Lin Feng had taken Yana after she offended him.
• Rocket told Star-Lord he planned to plead for Yana because she had once saved him, while Star-Lord refused to go along.
• Rocket followed Lin Feng down the street as Lin Feng carried three people and sealed Jolin’s mouth to stop her yelling.

Lin Feng took Yana and Jolin to a bar, where Rocket secretly followed and then reunited with him. Rocket recognized Yana and asked Lin Feng to spare her, leaving Lin Feng surprised that the two knew each other.

• Lin Feng brought Yana and Jolin into a bar, assuring Yana that he only wanted to ask questions.
• Rocket followed Lin Feng into the bar and tried to eavesdrop, but Lin Feng spotted him and waved him over.
• Rocket greeted Lin Feng, and they shared drinks while catching up about their past encounter and the rest of the Guardians.
• Rocket recognized Yana and remembered that she had saved his life, while Jolin sat stiffly and struggled to speak.
• Rocket asked whether Yana had offended Lin Feng and pleaded for him to let her go, prompting Lin Feng to marvel at their unlikely connection.

Lin Feng questioned Yana and Rocket about Mofu Mo Transit Star and learned that Dapus controlled it, while Rocket revealed Dapus had once tried to hire him to modify biochemical weapons. Lin Feng clarified that he had not yet decided whether to confront Dapus and intended to investigate the planet step by step.

• Lin Feng reassured Rocket and Yana that he only wanted answers, and Yana agreed to tell him everything.
• Yana explained that Dapus, a descendant of the Knotback Shells, had controlled Mofu Mo Transit Star for about two hundred and thirty years and usually lived in the Central Tower.
• Rocket said Dapus had tried to hire him two years earlier to modify biochemical weapon-generation devices, but Rocket had refused.
• Rocket warned Lin Feng that Dapus had a powerful guard force and an influential older brother, Dapula, then wondered why Lin Feng did not simply confront him.
• Lin Feng said he had no current intention of attacking Dapus and explained that he wanted to investigate the planet gradually.

Lin Feng questioned Rocket and Yana about Dapus’s power and searched for information about the Black Robes, but neither knew much. Jolin claimed she had seen people dressed like them and tried to demand payment, leaving Lin Feng furious and threatening her life unless she talked.

• Rocket and Yana explained that Dapus controlled most businesses on the street and maintained a large, well-paid force called the Black-and-White Hands.
• Lin Feng asked Rocket and Yana about Dapus’s income, connections, forbidden zones, and the Black Robes, but they could not provide useful answers.
• Jolin recognized the Black Robes in Lin Feng’s phone picture and said she would share what she knew only if he paid her.
• Lin Feng threatened to search Jolin’s memories, then gave her one chance to speak before he killed her.

Lin Feng learned that someone resembling Black Robes had entered an underground area beneath the Central Tower, then headed there with Rocket. As they walked, Lin Feng invited Rocket to visit his hometown, but explained that he could not yet return to it.

• Jolin told Lin Feng she had seen a similarly dressed person enter an underground area beneath the Central Tower about a year earlier, and Lin Feng warned her before leaving.
• Rocket caught up with Lin Feng and offered to guide him to the Central Tower, so they walked there together.
• Lin Feng asked Rocket about his life and learned that Rocket had not planned beyond taking things as they came and earning money.
• Rocket thanked Lin Feng for the soil that had helped Groot grow, and Lin Feng invited Rocket to visit his hometown.
• Lin Feng explained that his hometown was a different Blue Star and that, despite his strength, he could not yet return there.

Lin Feng used his X-ray vision to find the Black Robes Organization conducting business beneath Dapus’s Central Tower. Before he could teleport in and capture them, they detected him and vanished with their entire underground complex, leaving him stunned.

• Lin Feng sent Rocket back and headed alone to the Central Tower, assuring him that he would not destroy the planet.
• Lin Feng used his X-ray vision to observe Dapus, the tower’s armed levels, and a heavily guarded underground complex.
• Lin Feng discovered three Black Robes members testing white ore and discussing their deal with Dapus.
• A Black Robes member’s alarm detected Lin Feng, and he activated a device that made the underground complex disappear.
• Lin Feng stared at the enormous empty cavity, shocked that the Black Robes had escaped so quickly.

Lin Feng failed to reverse time in the vanished underground space and went to confront Dapus about the three Black Robes and the white ore. Dapus recognized Lin Feng and faced his questions while Locke was pinned to the wall.

• Lin Feng tried to reverse time in the underground area, but his effort shook Transit Star and he stopped before the planet broke apart.
• Dapus learned that the three Black Robes had taken the white ore without paying and called his elder brother Dapula to arrange a joint warrant.
• Dapus ordered his subordinates out, keeping Locke behind to speak with him.
• Lin Feng crashed through Dapus's office window and pinned Locke to the wall when he reached for his weapon and communicator.
• Dapus recognized Lin Feng, who demanded to know what deal he had made with the Black Robes and why they wanted the white ore.

Lin Feng learned that Black Robes had mined rare white ore from Dapus and took a truckload of it. The System revealed that refined ore supplied energy for travel between universes of different systems, giving Lin Feng a possible way to interfere with Black Robes.

• Dapus told Lin Feng that Black Robes had hired him to mine rare white ore, though he did not know what it was for.
• Lin Feng accepted a truckload of ore from Dapus and gave him a communicator so he could report any future sighting of Black Robes.
• Lin Feng asked the System to analyze the ore, and it explained that one ton could yield about two hundred grams of energy-rich material.
• The System said the ore's energy resembled what it used to travel between universes of different systems and that fewer than ten Stars in the Marvel Universe had deposits.
• Lin Feng concluded that Black Robes needed refined ore to travel between universes and considered using that knowledge against them.

After Lin Feng drove the Black Robes to flee the Marvel Universe, Li Xieqian learned of his growing power but received no help from his superior. Li Xieqian tasked Shanhai with secretly tracking Lin Feng, unaware that Shanhai was Lin Feng’s avatar.

• Three Black Robes teleported away with their cargo after killing Dapus’s subordinates, exhausting their alarm device.
• Li Xieqian heard of the escape and recognized Lin Feng as the one who had triggered the red alert.
• Li Xieqian reported Lin Feng’s threat to his First Sequence superior, who told him to handle it himself.
• Uneasy, Li Xieqian summoned Shanhai and offered him a private, long-term assignment.
• Shanhai read a file ordering him to track Lin Feng and report his movements, then wondered whether Li Xieqian had discovered his connection to Lin Feng.
