Otherwise, Qin Xiao felt that this car looked exactly like a toy car from Earth, and combined with this damn music, it was simply... well, you know.
It's just a toy car, alright? It's only been modified.
"Damn it, where am I?"
Qin Xiao had said this to himself many times, and each time he was more surprised than the last.
This time, he said it directly, even though he knew he couldn't understand what Groot was saying.
However, Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask directly.
really...
"I am Groot..."
He said the same thing, but this time Groot's tone was filled with anxiety.
"Damn it, bro, why don't you write something for me? You can't just write 'I am'... What the hell are you doing???"
Qin Xiao was speaking when Groot suddenly reached out and pressed a clearly modified button, causing the already quite fast vehicle to accelerate even more sharply.
Qin Xiao didn't know exactly how fast it was going, but his lower body was already starting to feel a tingling sensation.
"What are you doing, Groot? Is this Fast and Furious? With nitrous oxide acceleration?"
Qin Xiao quickly grabbed the car door and said.
"I am Groot!"
The little guy used his tongue to swirl the stick outside his mouth to the other side, then stretched out a vine and pointed behind him.
"What the hell?"
Qin Xiao turned around in confusion.
He turned around and couldn't stop smiling. Now, without even understanding what Groot was saying, he already knew where he was.
No wonder this place is so desolate, no wonder Groot, despite his small stature, doesn't recognize Rocket and the Guardians of the Galaxy, no wonder there are these assembled vehicles with Earth elements, no wonder I can't sense the energy of the Infinity Stones.
A few kilometers behind the car, a massive, horizontal cloud, almost completely obscuring the sky and emitting a faint red glow, rumbled towards them.
The enormous dark cloud not only emitted a faint red glow, but also materialized into a head with teeth and a large mouth.
It writhed forward like a snake.
Judging from its aggressive and menacing appearance, it's definitely not here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.
This is Alioth, a cloud that can devour all energy.
This place is Knowhere, used by the Time Variance Authority to exile people or objects, even a city or an entire world, that do not follow the predetermined fate of the Sacred Timeline after detecting a mutated timeline.
Although Qin Xiao didn't know why he wasn't targeted by the Variance Authority when he entered the Marvel Universe, heaven knows how many people or things have been banished here in countless loops and timelines in the past.
If this so-called Knowhere is a giant junkyard, then the cloud in the sky called Alioth is a garbage shredder.
No wonder Groot looked so anxious; in this place, the first rule of survival is to learn how to avoid Alioth.
I never expected to end up in this place.
With these thoughts racing through his mind, Groot had already sped up his small modified toy car to top speed, with a small hill several meters high looming ahead.
Groot slammed the steering wheel, drifting the car sideways and crashing into the hill.
The small hill, which appeared to be the same yellowish-brown color as the ground, automatically opened a large gate as the car approached. After the vehicle entered, the gate quickly closed automatically.
This is a small, square room that was carved out by hand.
Before Qin Xiao could carefully observe his surroundings...
Groot jumped out of the car.
"I am Groot!"
He pointed to a lid on the ground.
Qin Xiao then noticed that there was an iron cover on the ground that resembled a sewer inlet.
It seems that avoiding Alioth is not an easy task.
After lifting the lid, you climb down a long ladder for at least five or six meters before your feet touch the ground.
Qin Xiao then saw Groot let out a heavy sigh of relief.
This is a room that is about fifty square meters in size. It is a simple house without any partitions.
There were even items inside, such as a sofa and a television, and most importantly, lights were still on.
" Groot, where did this electricity come from? Energy source?"
Qin Xiao asked with some curiosity.
The little guy seemed to know that Qin Xiao couldn't understand him.
"I am Groot!"
After saying something out of habit, he pulled Qin Xiao to a wall.
Qin Xiao then noticed that there were many glowing, flat wires running along the wall, leading to various parts of the room.
This is where the room's energy is collected, and what powers these lines is a golden-yellow energy cell.
"I am Groot!"
Groot pointed to the battery.
Then, somewhat dejectedly, he said...
"I am Groot!"
He then pointed to a spare battery under his feet.
This time, Qin Xiao understood what he meant.
"There's only one left, right? Don't worry, I have plenty more."
Qin Xiao took out an Arc Reactor from his spatial storage. This was a mobile warehouse that Tony had placed in Qin Xiao's space to prevent energy shortages during battle.
There were dozens of them.
"This thing isn't a battery; it can generate its own power. If it's just for the lights and appliances in this room, it can provide a continuous supply for decades."
Qin Xiao handed the Arc Reactor to the beaming Groot.
Now that he was temporarily safe, Qin Xiao needed to figure out how to get back.
The Infinity Stones are unusable. The flames on my body are fine for fighting, but I can't break through space, especially since this place is outside the Sacred Timeline and doesn't belong to the original universe at all.
Left with no other option, Qin Xiao had to resort to his ultimate move.
"System! System!"
"We are currently collecting energy from this world. It is estimated that we can return to either of the two worlds in fifteen days. This place will then be developed into a third world, and each visit will take fifteen days to return."
The system gave the answer before Qin Xiao could even ask. Qin Xiao's face lit up with joy; being able to go back made things much easier. Fifteen days—perfect time to thoroughly explore what lay within this Knowhere.
