The one thing The Klyn had in abundance was water.
Prisoners used water for bathing, eating, and daily cleaning.
Furthermore, the prison's layout was very compact, and the water storage areas were not far from where the inmates lived.
The distance was less than fifty meters.
Because of this, all the water within the prison now served as a weapon for Kevin to use against his enemies.
In this place, as long as there was water, Kevin could be considered 'invincible'.
"Oh my…"
Star-Lord covered his face with both hands, unable to utter a complete exclamation.
Rocket Raccoon stopped what he was doing and glanced outside:
"Tsk tsk, this really has become an 'aquarium.' From now on, this place can be changed from The Klyn to 'Kevin's Happy Prison.'"
"…What kind of weird name is that?"
Kevin, who was controlling the Water Manipulation to engulf the guards, heard the name and almost lost control of the continuously gushing water.
Rocket Raccoon continued his work, not forgetting to chat with Kevin:
"Then how about 'Washing Machine Prison'? Or 'The Prison That Lets You Experience the Joy of Being a Fish'?
Hmm… I'm done here, Kevin. You'd best remove the surrounding water, or the drones outside won't be able to get in."
Rocket Raccoon changed the subject mid-sentence, pointing at the drones circling outside the water flow.
"I understand, I understand."
Kevin, having seen the movie, naturally knew what Rocket Raccoon was going to do.
He immediately revoked his Water Manipulation, flushing all the water here into the sewers to prevent it from floating around uncontrollably like dust once gravity was lost.
The moment Kevin removed his Water Manipulation, Rocket Raccoon turned off the artificial gravity in the prison.
As soon as Kevin's water receded, the guards, who had just experienced a state of weightlessness, seamlessly transitioned into true zero gravity.
Dazed by the water, they were now completely unable to stop Kevin and his group in this state of weightlessness.
Seizing this opportunity, Rocket Raccoon cut the connection between the main control console and the control tower, manipulating the surrounding drones as a power source to push the main control console directly into the nearest passage.
The control console smashed through the protective door, careening wildly down the long corridor.
Only when this temporarily modified, disposable 'spaceship' came to a complete stop did Rocket Raccoon activate the backup protective door, completely isolating the guards and this area.
At this point, the escape process was halfway complete.
"See? I told you my plan was perfect."
When the temporary spaceship stopped, Rocket Raccoon put his hands on his hips, seeking credit from everyone.
But no one paid him any attention.
The escape plan was not yet fully complete; they were still inside the prison. To truly leave the prison, they first needed to find a spaceship that could take them away.
Fortunately, this prison was quite humane in other aspects; the criminals' ships were also impounded here along with the criminals themselves.
Star-Lord soon found his spaceship in the ship docking area. Everyone changed their clothes and immediately rushed to the ship.
Kevin was the first to follow Rocket Raccoon and the others into Star-Lord's spaceship, the Milan. Once he was fully aboard the ship, Kevin finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
So far, aside from Kevin's involvement, the plot had not changed at all, and everyone had still successfully escaped from the prison.
The cosmic orb was also now in Kevin's hands.
Now, he was just one step away from completing his class transfer.
He needed to find the Collector to open the cosmic orb, then seize the opportunity to touch the power stone inside.
Once the class transfer was successful, he would return to the The Boys world and continue to live a life of enjoyment.
This plan was as perfect as Rocket Raccoon's plan.
Everyone successfully escaped the prison, encountering almost no other obstacles except for a small delay when Star-Lord wasted some time looking for his personal music player.
Kevin finally had some free time. He casually asked Star-Lord for a clean room, then sat by the window, gazing out at the boundless cosmic sea.
"The universe, huh… I never thought I'd encounter it so casually."
Sitting in the spaceship, gazing at the boundless universe, Kevin's mood was somewhat subtle.
All the events in the The Boys world occurred on that one planet, or even, one could say, only in America.
Kevin had never imagined he would leave the planet and venture into outer space; he always felt these things were very distant from him.
Compared to flying into space and deep into the universe, Kevin felt it was more practical to enter the The Deep and become the Lord of the Ocean.
However, he never expected that before becoming the Lord of the Ocean, he would first come to the universe, which had little water.
Although the sea of stars was also a sea, Kevin still felt the leap in between was a bit too large.
"But this is an opportunity. I wasn't sure how to transition Vought after taking over. If it's alien technology… perhaps it could help Vought through the painful transition period?"
Kevin suddenly had another thought.
Vought in the The Boys world was a behemoth in that world.
And there was no trace of Supes among the high-level executives.
Therefore, Kevin suspected that even if he became the Vice President, Edgar might not truly allow him into Vought's highest decision-making body.
He had mentioned this to Butcher.
But Kevin would not be content with such a result, which is why he contacted Butcher, temporarily appeased Homelander, and first secured his position as Vice President.
Later, Kevin would use these two individuals to gradually erode Vought, eventually taking control of it.
At that time, Kevin would no longer allow Compound V to continue flowing out. He would stop the research of Compound V and enable Vought to complete its transformation.
But Kevin had always been unsure how Vought should transform.
This was a pharmaceutical company. After losing Compound V, its most successful product, where would Vought find new ways to generate profit?
Kevin didn't know before, but now he had an idea.
This vast universe, endless civilizations, endless planets—these were Kevin's sources of profit.
He would do his best to memorize things that were considered high-tech in the The Boys world, bring them back, and use them as the foundation for Vought's development.
He would complete the transformation from a pharmaceutical company to an industrial group.
"If I can come back after the class transfer, that would be even better. If not, then I can only try to stay in this world for a longer period, preferably bringing back some blueprints."
Kevin's backpack could be brought over, so naturally, it could also be taken back.
He thought that perhaps he could find some space compression devices to bring the things he wanted to take back into the The Boys world.
Thus completing the 'sourcing' from the Marvel Universe to the The Boys world.
Tsk tsk, what do you call a protagonist of two worlds?
Kevin fantasized about a beautiful future in his mind, gazed at the boundless cosmos, closed his eyes, and dozed off.
Although the cosmos was beautiful, looking at it for too long could make one sleepy.
Kevin had just fought with the guards in the prison. Although he wasn't very tired, he had still expended some energy.
Now that he was relaxed, he naturally found it easy to doze off.
Kevin seemed to have slept for a long time. When he woke up, Star-Lord, Peter Quill, happened to knock on his door and walked in:
"Brother, you should wake up. We've arrived."
"We're here? I'll be right there."
Kevin, who had just woken up, yawned and stretched, then went to the control room with Star-Lord.
Entering the control room, the first thing that caught Kevin's eye through the window was the colossal remains of a head.
That head was practically a small satellite. Its surface was covered by Mist of different colors, and many buildings were constructed within that Mist.
Its eyes had been repurposed into inspection ports and spaceship docking areas. Approaching it, one could see many spaceships coming and going.
Kevin stared at the colossal skull remains, filled with shock.
Seeing this head in a movie was one thing; actually seeing it was another.
A head as massive as a planet would appear spectacular to anyone who saw it.
And this was just the remains of a dead Celestial. It was hard to imagine how truly enormous and powerful a Celestial would be at its peak.
And how strong must the entity that could sever this Celestial's head be?
"We're going in now. Everyone get ready. The criminals here are much fiercer than those in The Klyn."
Gamora, who seemed to have been here before, warned everyone, then turned and left.
Star-Lord subconsciously glanced at Kevin and said:
"What are you afraid of? We have Brother Kevin in our team. Can anyone be fiercer than Brother Kevin?"
"Don't count on me. Once the transaction is done, I won't be staying with you guys."
Kevin was expressionless.
He had no intention of joining the Guardians of the Galaxy, nor did he plan to become partners with Star-Lord.
After successfully completing his class transfer, if he couldn't stay, Kevin would be directly sent back to the The Boys world.
If he could continue to stay in the Marvel Universe, Kevin wouldn't mingle with the Guardians of the Galaxy either. He would try his best to collect more alien technology, then find a suitable time to return.
In any case, Kevin would not stay with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Before getting off the spaceship, Kevin asked Rocket Raccoon to help him get a data disk containing most of the basic technology blueprints, which he put into his backpack.
This way, even if Kevin returned directly after successfully completing his class transfer, he wouldn't have to worry about not gaining anything else in the Marvel World.
Once everything was ready, everyone got off the spaceship and headed straight for the Collector's hut in Knowhere.
The Collector, whose real name was Taneleer Tivan.
He was the renowned founder and CEO of Tivan Group in the universe, responsible for providing rare raw materials to various major forces.
And most of those rare raw materials came from this giant Celestial head.
Bones, bone marrow, brain tissue…
This head created enormous profits for Collector, thus becoming Collector's base of operations.
This was the setting of the movie universe.
After making money, Collector's only hobby left was collecting.
He enjoyed collecting all sorts of strange and rare items or creatures in the universe. No matter what it was, as long as it was a unique piece, he liked to add it to his collection.
The Infinity Stones were Collector's target this time.
According to the Marvel timeline, Collector already possessed the Reality Stone from Asgard. If he could acquire the cosmic orb and personally collect it, then Collector would possess two Infinity Stones.
This was Collector's 'ambition.'
Although he only collected the stones for fun.
"Alright, this is the place."
Gamora recounted stories about Tivan Group to everyone. After she finished, she led the group to stop in front of a building that looked like an entertainment venue.
Star-Lord looked around, and seeing that it didn't resemble a trading place, he couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"We're doing the transaction here?"
"The employer said to wait a bit. We're waiting for his agent's notification here. In the meantime, you can entertain yourselves."
Gamora finished speaking and walked towards a secluded spot.
It seemed she truly didn't want to stay with the group.
