Knowhere, Hawkeye carefully drove the spacecraft into this huge head. What came into view was the wreckage of an anti-ship gun and a very familiar ravine.
"It seems that there was a fierce battle here not long ago, and coincidentally, one of the parties was the person who left us a message on Vormir."
Black Widow made the judgment easily, and Gamora nodded, "It seems you can find what you want here."
As he said that, Gamora looked in a certain direction and saw that a certain building was still standing there. Gamora also breathed a sigh of relief.
"The person I'm looking for seems to be alive. Do you want to come with me to get some information?"
Hawkeye and Black Widow looked at each other, "We'll just go there, is that okay?"
"It's okay, that person and Thanos are not the same group."
Commanding Hawkeye to land on the tarmac here, the three of them temporarily placed Nebula on the spacecraft and followed Gamora towards where the Collector was.
But on the road, Hawkeye and Black Widow found that the people around them looked at them with something wrong.
"Are they of the same race as that person?"
"Judging from the appearance, yes. I just don't know if everyone of their race has that kind of power, otherwise I will definitely use them to vent my frustration."
"Haha, don't be so talkative here. When we fought before, you were the one at the back."
"Stop talking, keep your voice down, they are looking over."
Hawkeye withdrew his gaze and clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, "It seems we are not welcome here."
Black Widow also nodded, "But I still got some news, that is, the people who left those traces are from Earth."
"I really don't know if this is good news or bad news."
Hawkeye echoed, and the two followed Gamora to the outside of a casino.
But it looks like the casino is closed and no one is inside.
Gamora came to the door and pressed the doorbell.
"Who? What's going on?"
The Collector's impatient voice came from over there, and Gamora replied:
"It's me, Gamora."
"Gamora? That's a rare visitor. What are you doing here?"
"Looking for some errands to do, I just happen to have two friends who want to ask something."
"Come in, I'm on the second floor."
The door opened, Gamora gave Hawkeye and Black Widow a look, and several people walked in.
Arriving on the second floor, Gamora saw the Collector actually wiping his collection by himself, and asked in surprise, "Where is your maid?"
"She? I found a warm little home for her, but I haven't found a new maid yet, so I can only do it myself for the time being."
Having said this, the Collector looked at Hawkeye and Black Widow behind Gamora, and the expressions on their faces became a little intriguing.
"Your two friends are from Earth?"
Listening to the Collector's strange tone, Hawkeye also asked directly, "Sorry, we are indeed from Earth, but what's wrong?"
The Collector walked to his workbench, looked at the cane beside him, thought for a while, but still did not take action directly.
"If it was before, nothing would happen, but now, you are famous."
The Collector waved his hand, and a projection of Nova Prime's speech appeared beside him.
"To all the citizens of the Nova Empire, I have a big news to announce. Just now, we captured Ronan the Accuser, a member of the Kree Empire who has been misbehaving in the empire. In view of the many unforgivable actions the other party has committed against our empire, I have decided to publicly behead Ronan, the Admiral of Xandar, at 12 o'clock Xandar time the day after tomorrow. At that time, all people in the empire can receive and watch Ronan's execution process on the public channel..."
At this point, the projection was fixed there, and Gamora finished digesting the information he just heard.
"Nova Empire actually caught Ronan and wanted to execute him in public? This is really interesting."
The Collector smiled, "What's more interesting is that Ronan was not captured by the Nova Empire, but by an Earthling who captured Ronan and sold him to the Nova Empire."
Having said this, the Collector looked at Hawkeye and Black Widow behind Gamora.
Black Widow was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Well, human trafficking is strictly prohibited on earth. If this person does this, I think we will definitely punish him."
The Collector's expression became more and more weird, and finally he couldn't help but laugh while holding his belly in his hands.
"It's really interesting that people on Earth actually want to punish the Lord of Earth!"
"Lord of Earth?"
Black Widow's expression became quite strange.
What's going on? Could it be that in this Parallel World, the earth has completed its great unification?
"Although I don't know what's going on with you two, your answers have made me feel better. As a reward, you can ask whatever you want."
Hawkeye After hearing this, he asked politely, "We just saw the deep valley outside. We were a little curious and wanted to ask who did it."
The Collector glanced at him in surprise, but still replied, "It was the Earth Lord I just mentioned who did it. That guy sent someone to blackmail me a few days ago. I was a little unconvinced and even had a fight with him, but I didn't win, and he almost demolished this place."
Speaking of this matter, the Collector did not shy away from anything.
Although he was really angry and aggressive at the time, after he calmed down later, he no longer hated Lu Qi as much as before.
He himself is an immortal existence, and he collects those precious things just to stabilize his spirit during his long life, lest his feelings slowly disappear over time and become an emotionless monster.
When fighting Lu Qi, his emotions were stimulated to an unprecedented level by Lu Qi, which made him feel alive for the first time in a long time. His feelings towards Lu Qi were also somewhat complicated.
After all, the Collector hates him so much when he thinks of him, but this kind of emotion is exactly what he is looking for, so he will think about Lu Qi from time to time and reminisce about that flame-like emotion.
And listening to the Collector's answer, Black Widow was also a little surprised. They didn't expect that the person they were looking for was actually the Lord of the Earth in this world.
But no matter who the other party is, she and Hawkeye must go to meet him.
"Then where can we find him?"
"According to my information, Nova Empire was worried that Kree Empire would take action during the execution ceremony and was afraid that he would not be able to control the scene, so he invited that person to watch the ceremony. In fact, he was looking for insurance."
"Then when we go to that place, we can see him?"
"I don't know about that. You can't expect someone who was invited to watch the ceremony to stand in the square with you to watch the execution, right?"
The Collector spread his hands, leaving Hawkeye silent for a while.
Black Widow patted his shoulder, "The information he left on Vormir means that he must know us. Maybe when we go to Xandar, he will appear directly in front of us."
Hawkeye nodded and could only think like this. There was really no other way. I just hoped that Kree Empire could make some big move and force that earth lord out.
After solving the problems of Hawkeye and Black Widow, the Collector turned to look at Gamora, "They are here to ask me something, what are you here for? Recently, Thanos was caught by Odin's tail, but he was chased very closely."
Odin's pursuit of Thanos is naturally not a secret to people like them. This also makes the Collector quite curious. When Gamora comes up at this juncture, are you really not afraid that Odin will come and catch her?
Gamora shrugged, "I originally didn't want to work under Thanos, but I never had the chance to escape before. Now that I have escaped at this juncture, Thanos can't catch me back. If Odin can give me some help, maybe I don't have to worry about Thanos's back-up plan."
"It's really interesting. Thanos's adopted daughter actually betrayed Thanos. Haha, there has been a lot of big news recently. By the way, from what you say, do you still want Thanos to be killed by Odin?"
"What the hell, I don't care about Thanos's life or death."
Gamora doesn't know what kind of emotions he has towards Thanos.
Call it hate, but Thanos has been very good to her over the years, which makes her a little bit unable to hate him.
Say she likes it, she doesn't like following Thanos everywhere to make Carnage bigger. She also remembers when her parents were killed by Thanos.
Due to the conflict between the two emotions, Gamora didn't know how to face Thanos, and perhaps this confusion was the reason why she escaped from Thanos.
The Collector looked at Gamora's expression and shook his head, "I don't know what you are thinking, but if you want to kill Thanos, you can also go to the lord of the earth. He and The relationship with Odin is not bad, Asgard is still Outer Prince. As long as you tell him the location of Thanos, Thanos will disappear from this world in a short time."
Gamora shook his head, "Thanos is a very cautious person. When I was hiding with him, he would change his position within a few days. And I suspect that he has placed his own spies in many empires and has been monitoring Odin's movements. Even if I tell Odin his location, I can't catch him."
"Okay, that's up to you."
The Collector is also too lazy to pay attention to Gamora. She will not take the initiative until she has made a decision.
After bringing up this topic, Gamora also made his tone a little livelier, "Now that I am no longer working under Thanos, I have no money, so I came to you just to find some errands to do. Is there anything you want recently?"
The Collector smiled and said, "I have fallen in love with something recently, Ronan's head. Can you contact Nova Empire's person for me and buy Ronan's head?"
"Of course you can, but there is a fee."
"Follow the old rules."
"Deal!"
"So, now we still have to go together."
Black Widow smiled and said to Gamora that they were both women and the relationship between them was pretty good.
"There is no way. The Collector's spaceships were almost demolished by your lords. The remaining spaceships are busy transporting cargo and cannot be transported out. As for those industrial spaceships, they cannot fly into space, so they can only take a ride on you."
"It's okay, we just don't know how to enter Xandar. We may need your help then."
"Leave this to me. It's considered to be payment of travel expenses."
After storing Nebula at the Collector, Hawkeye and the others used the surrounding Stargate to jump from Knowhere to the galaxy where Xandar is located after several jumps.
In this galaxy, Hawkeye and the others also found space battleships everywhere, strictly inspecting every passing spacecraft.
Hawkeye and the others were naturally stopped, but after Gamora showed the Collector's identity documents and explained their purpose of coming, the inspecting warship quickly let them pass.
After passing this level, Hawkeye also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect to kill just one person at first, but there would be such a big battle, with so many space battleships coming to guard it, but at least he still passed this level.
After passing through the iron wall composed of countless warships, they quickly arrived at the outskirts of Xandar. Looking at almost all the spaceships flying out, Hawkeye asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that the ceremony was held here? What are those people doing outside?"
"I'm still worried that Kree Empire will call directly. Ronan's status in the Kree Empire is not low, let alone this wave of public beheadings of the Nova Empire, which is just a slap in the Kree Empire's face. Everyone thinks that Kree Empire will not give up, but they don't know how they will take revenge."
"So Xandar is actually very dangerous up there, aren't you afraid?"
"When I worked under Thanos in the past, I have seen scenes more exaggerated than this."
Gamora recalled her past that was full of blood and tears, and her expression became a little sad. Hawkeye After they heard Thanos's name, their moods also cooled down.
In such a weird atmosphere, Hawkeye and the others passed through layers of security checks and entered Xandar smoothly.
The ceremony will not be held until tomorrow, so they will stay on the spaceship for the night. Gamora said hello to them and left directly to meet the people of the Nova Empire.
Not far from Hawkeye and the others, several figures of different sizes stepped off a spaceship that looked very similar to the spacecraft they were on.
"So, where should we find work?"
"Go directly to the city hall and ask. For such a big scene, Nova Empire must be short of a lot of manpower. We will definitely be able to find a good job."
Rocket said confidently, but when they went to the city hall, they found that there were no errands here.
"You really don't lack manpower for such a big scene?"
Rocket asked in disbelief. The official in front of him looked at Rocket who was less than his knees and showed a disdainful smile.
"Precisely because it is such a big event, we don't need you guys. The personnel in charge of security for this ceremony are all drawn from Nova Corps, and they are absolutely reliable. Again, leave professional matters to professionals, you guys? Forget it."
