"Find his true form and take his Star Core?"
"What do you mean?"
Hela was confused.
Killing was her specialty.
She'd chopped up countless people on the battlefield.
But judging by the Collector's words, killing this man seemed like a troublesome affair?
"Ego is a very peculiar existence."
"To put it simply, you can understand him as the materialized will of a planet," the Collector casually took out a glass bead and placed it in his palm. He blew on it, and a small figure darted out from the glass ball, greeting Hela with a wave.
"Like this."
"His birth, his very existence, is a miracle of this universe."
"And to truly kill him, you must find his true form, the planet that nurtured his will. The Otherwise, you simply cannot kill him."
With that, the Collector crushed the little figure dancing in his palm, and a new figure immediately emerged from the glass ball.
Crack!
The Collector directly crushed the glass ball, and Hela understood.
"Ego is extremely vigilant, so I suggest you don't rush to reveal your true intentions when you first encounter him."
The Collector, who had long been annoyed by this walking, self-propelled battering ram, told Hela everything he knew, and also informed Robin, who had been following behind him.
The Collector's sudden idea to use Ego's Star Core to nurture this cosmic flower, which would be incredibly beautiful once it bloomed, came after he saw the recording in Robin's hand.
Thirty million years. He had been on this planet for a full thirty million years. For these thirty million years, the Xiangluo Tribe, as slaves, had toiled from dawn till dusk mining resources to supply the Flower of Life, yet even so, the flower had only managed to grow to the point of forming a bud.
It was still a long way from fully blooming.
Ego's appearance perfectly solved the Collector's problem of waiting.
This horny planet, which was only focused on studying breeding techniques day in and day out, had even mocked him for being brainless a few times. In the Collector's opinion, using him as fertilizer for the flower was a fair trade.
Besides, he wasn't the one doing the fighting. If Hela couldn't win, he could always blame Odin.
"Oh, right, one more thing."
As the three walked towards the manor entrance, the Collector suddenly turned and looked at Robin, who hadn't said much: "How did you get that recording of Ego?"
This was something he had been curious about.
Given Ego's cunning nature, how could he have been filmed in such an embarrassing recording?
If he were to put the recording from this chip up for auction, he could definitely make a hefty profit.
Hmm?
Wait a minute.
He could actually do that?
The Collector, who had just discovered a path to riches, suddenly's eyes lit up. He had been coveting a few of that guy's limited-edition cosmic treasures for a long time.
"Collector, a man named Beckett gave it to me."
Robin, with a cross-shaped scar on his cheek, unhesitatingly revealed Beckett's name.
"Beckett?"
"Beckett, Son of Thanos, from the Centaurus Galaxy?"
Hela, upon hearing the familiar name, frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"You know him?"
Robin raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The Centaurus Galaxy was very far from the Nine Realms. How did these two know each other?
Hela was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Why do I run into that guy everywhere I go?
"What's he doing on Gafah?" Hela asked, her curiosity piqued.
"From the looks of it, he's here for a mechanical component—"
RUMBLE!
Before Robin could finish speaking, the entire sky above Gafah suddenly turned pitch black. The booming sound of dense thunderclouds made everyone in Gafah look up at the sky.
What was happening?
"This is,"
"The aura of an Infinity Stone?" The Collector, who knew the most about Infinity Stones in all of Gafah, changed his expression, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"More than one, even."
On Gafah, in a certain entertainment venue, Ego, who was spending money lavishly with a seductive woman in his arms, stood by the window, looking at the thunderclouds overhead with great interest.
In this universe, did someone actually have nothing better to do than collect Infinity Stones?
Even beings of their level didn't know the whereabouts of the six Infinity Stones, so how could someone with too much time on their hands go to such lengths to collect them?
And from the looks of it, they seemed to have already acquired two.
"Interesting."
Ego drained his drink, crunched on the ice, and leaped from the second-floor window. He shook his shoulders and walked directly towards the area crackling with lightning.
He was curious about which fool it was.
...
Five minutes earlier, Beckett's residence.
The Energy Devouring Beast squatted in the corner, looking up adorably at Beckett, who was reaching out to it.
"Spit out the Aether," Beckett commanded with a cold expression.
"Meow~"
The Energy Devouring Beast licked its lips, nudged Beckett's palm with its round little head, and blinked its big eyes at him.
Its fluffy tail swayed back and forth as it let out a milky meow.
A silver-white energy pellet appeared in Beckett's palm.
"Meow!"
The Energy Devouring Beast continued to wag its tail, meowing in a childish voice.
Beckett rubbed another, larger pellet.
"Meow~"
The Energy Devouring Beast, forced to squat in the corner, raised its right front paw as if swatting at something in the air, blinking its adorable eyes and tilting its head as it meowed.
"..."
Beckett's face darkened.
Especially with Zola watching him.
"Don't push it too far."
Beckett clasped his hands together and then rubbed them to create a pellet as tall as a person, placing it before the Energy Devouring Beast.
"Meow!"
The orange figure let out a joyful cry, and its small body darted towards the giant pellet like lightning.
"Rua!"
It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of black, viscous substance.
Swish!
Seeing this, Beckett willed it, and a surge of immense energy erupted!
His black hair stood on end in the invisible wave of energy, instantly turning golden!
He put on the Mind Stone he had prepared, and the black Aether was drawn in, directly merging into Beckett's body!
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The power of the two Infinity Stones collided within Beckett without any intermediary power conversion. Under his difficult guidance, this complex energy was directly applied to the biological tissue containing The Other's core data and the mechanical components beside it!
"Give me,"
Due to the lack of an intermediary, the power of the two stones rampaged within Beckett's body, causing his muscles to swell and veins to bulge!
"Give me, resurrect!"
Gritting his teeth, he filtered the power of the two stones as much as possible into a gentler form and channeled it all into The Other's biological tissue!
Rumble!
Outside the window, the wind howled, and lightning flashed!
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Zha!
A bolt of lightning streaked across Beckett's face. Under Zola's terrified gaze, the biological tissue slowly began to writhe, gradually enveloping the mechanical components Beckett had traded for...
"Beckett, Your Highness?"
The backstage was a mess, my mind was blown, this server is too trash
