According to the latest information obtained by our reporter, the Human Union's expeditionary force has won a crucial fleet decisive battle 2,654 light-years away from Earth.
The Chitauri allies who invaded us and owed us a blood debt, the Mousters, have finally received the retribution they deserve.
Our fleet has now officially entered the planetary orbit to clean up those enemies who are still resisting.
It won't be long before the three habitable planets in this star system will become our colonies.
The People's Alliance has begun planning to enact a series of relevant laws to encourage people from all over the world to settle in new homes.
Now please cheer for our brave and fearless warriors! They have taken the crucial first step for human civilization to officially enter the era of the starry sea!
Later we will be broadcasting some top secret video footage and interviews from frontline reporters, so stay tuned.
Oh, by the way, according to rumors, when clearing out the stubborn enemies on the ground, those mercenaries seemed to have become angry and committed some pretty heinous war crimes for some unknown reason.
Commander Grant Ward was said to be very annoyed by this.
They even threatened to give them the most severe punishment to prevent our just revenge from being tarnished with unnecessary stains.
Finally, at 8pm we will also broadcast a scientific report on the local ecology and environment from billionaire and Iron Man, Tony Stark.
If you're thinking of making your home in the New Colonies or planning on building a career there, be sure to watch this show.
Because it is the only and quite authoritative investigation report at present.
Including many animals and plants you have never seen before, as well as extremely rich minerals and natural resources.
Well, that's all the news.
It will be a commercial break, please don't walk away.
After the advertisement, there will be explosive news from the front line, and you will know the whole process of the first decisive battle of space fleets in human history. "
…
Accompanied by overwhelming publicity from television stations and the Internet, news of the expeditionary force's victory finally came back from the front line.
Although many details are still being covered up and will only be released bit by bit after being reviewed by the top leaders of the People's Federation, the mere word "victory" is enough to arouse a strong social reaction.
Whether it is the crowds taking to the streets to celebrate or the large number of stocks skyrocketing in the stock market, they all show what victory in this war means to the current human beings on Earth.
Some adventurous young people even began to submit their application materials impatiently, intending to become the first group of interstellar immigrants and go to a completely unknown planet to live and reproduce.
Facts have proved that for a country or even a civilization, it is certainly very important to focus on alleviating internal conflicts, but transferring them through war is also a very effective solution.
Because as long as you can keep winning and keep gaining more land, resources and benefits, all internal conflicts will be resolved.
Since the Age of Discovery, European and American countries, which have dominated modern history for hundreds of years, have basically adopted this solution.
Therefore, when their military, technological, and financial power began to weaken and they were no longer able to exploit and plunder as before, they would naturally and inevitably decline, and even trigger all the previously hidden internal contradictions.
But now, with the establishment of the People's League and the victory of the foreign colonial war, all these problems have been solved.
The vast land of three planets, the natural resources and mineral resources on it, as well as the technology and infrastructure left behind after the death of the Mousterians, will greatly ease the originally fierce social contradictions.
Not only can large companies, large conglomerates and big capital enjoy this unprecedented feast, but ordinary people can also gain a lot of benefits from it.
The outcome of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II has fully demonstrated that in the face of relatively abundant material conditions, all ideologies and class contradictions have to be put aside.
Because for most people, the promise of a bright future is far less affordable than the benefits that are within reach.
This is why the issue of ideology has never been discussed since the establishment of the People's Federation.
It's not that this thing has disappeared, but that it is no longer important, let alone the main contradiction.
The main contradiction at this stage is the huge debt owed by the Human Union to the Baator Hell Bank, the serious security issues facing the Earth and human civilization, and the social unrest caused by the explosive development of science and technology.
The only way to shift these major contradictions is to plunder other alien civilizations like in the Age of Discovery, expand colonies and living space, and harvest souls in large numbers through killing.
Of course, none of the above has anything to do with SHIELD
After the fact that the organization was parasitized by Hydra was exposed, it has fallen to the lowest point since its establishment.
Especially after all the Hydra members withdrew and joined the political party formed by Grant Ward, the new director Coulson suddenly found that he had few useful people under his command.
Especially those elite members who are the most efficient and have made great achievements in the bureau, they are all Hydra without exception.
The fields of logistics and scientific research are definitely the hardest hit areas.
More than half of the departments are paralyzed or semi-paralyzed.
As for the rest, except for a very small number of people who were previously the focus of training, the rest are basically ordinary people who just live a life of idleness and work hard to get a salary.
It is better to expect sows to climb trees than to expect them to do dangerous reconnaissance, infiltration, investigation and other tasks.
Even SHIELD's once most proud field agents who specialize in handling emergencies now have no more than a hundred teams available worldwide.
It can be said that the current SHIELD is basically a dilapidated house that is about to collapse if anyone kicks it.
The situation was so dire that not only Coulson was dumbfounded, but even the two former directors Nick Fury and Maria Hill could not think of any good solution and could only ask for help directly from the top leaders of the Human Rights Alliance.
In order to allow SHIELD to better contain the rapid development of Hydra, the top leaders of the Human Rights Alliance quickly transferred personnel from the intelligence departments of several major powers and placed them in SHIELD
In this way, SHIELD has regained a certain degree of working ability.
But the problem is that when these people came, they all had more or less secret missions assigned by their own countries, and they had many grudges against each other in the past, and all kinds of conspiracy and sabotage happened from time to time.
Coulson even felt that the current SHIELD was like a place where poisonous insects were raised. Heroes from all walks of life came and went, and there was never a peaceful day. Similarly, few people took himself, the director, seriously.
If possible, he really wanted to just hand in his resignation, go home, find a girlfriend, get married, have children, and then live the rest of his life in peace with the money he had saved from doing dangerous work over the years.
But unfortunately, this beautiful wish can only exist in dreams.
Not to mention the fighting among the various factions without his senior background as a SHIELD veteran, just tracking down the remnants of Hydra who were loyal to Alexander Pierce was enough to make it impossible for him to get rid of the heavy responsibility.
After all, finding Captain Marvel Carol Danvers was the task given to him by Nick Fury.
In addition, there are a large number of important items that have been lost, including the Mind Scepter that Loki once used.
Thinking of this, Coulson couldn't help but sighed slightly, staring at the news on TV and self-deprecatingly said: "I am really destined to be a hard worker. I hope the victory of the expedition fleet will not increase the workload of the bureau, otherwise I will really be exhausted to death."
Before he finished speaking!
The door of the office was pushed open by someone in a very rough manner, and the dusty Iron Man walked in from outside, teasing in a half-joking tone: "Hey! Dear Coulson, how does it feel to be the director? Do you feel the joy of Nick Fury holding power?"
"Happy?" Coulson smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Stop joking. If there is someone to replace me now, I will be very happy to hand over the position of director and be an ordinary agent like before."
"Oh? So you're in a lot of trouble now?"
Tony Stark had obviously heard about the current vibrant and prosperous state of SHIELD, and a gloating smile appeared on his lips.
Because he never liked Director Hard Boiled and the SHIELD he controlled.
"It's more than just a problem. Just this week, there have been reports of agents from different factions accidentally hurting each other while supporting each other."
Coulson did not hide anything and directly projected a large amount of highly confidential information onto the big screen.
After all, Iron Man also serves as the technical consultant of SHIELD, so he cannot be considered an outsider.
Tony Stark subconsciously glanced at them and quickly asked in surprise: "Are they shooting at each other?"
“That’s right.
But they did it very covertly, so I have no hard evidence.
Moreover, these people had once been intelligence officers of mutually hostile countries, and had long had considerable grudges against each other, with some of their comrades and companions even dying at the hands of the other side.
Now they have turned SHIELD into a gladiatorial arena for settling personal grudges.
I seriously doubt it will be long before the injury reports turn into death reports.
Of course, the above are not the most terrible things.
The worst thing is that we can't find Baron Strucker's hiding place.
Since Grant Ward provided political asylum to those Hydra members, in principle they have now been pardoned and are innocent.
And these guys refused to provide any useful information or clues.
In just a few months, several important weapons and equipment production factories of the Human Alliance were invaded, and a large amount of raw materials and technology were stolen.
I think you understand what this means, right?"
As he said this, Coulson had a serious and solemn expression on his face.
He knew very well that the power Baron Strucker now possessed was enough to threaten the security of the entire earth.
Especially the disappeared Captain Marvel. Once she is brainwashed and becomes a member of Hydra, she may be able to directly overthrow the existing Human Rights Alliance and seize power through an armed coup.
"I came back to tell you this. According to the information provided by Kara, a woman who looks like Carol Danvers once appeared in Sokovia."
As he spoke, Iron Man sent the picture that the Kryptonian girl had sent him to the big screen through his artificial intelligence butler.
moment!
A woman with long golden hair and only half of her face exposed appeared in their sight.
Although the facial features are not very obvious due to being obscured by hair and street lights, the height and weight are exactly the same as Carol Danvers' data.
"Sokovia..."
Coulson stroked his chin in thought.
Obviously, as the current director of SHIELD, he must not act rashly.
Because Baron Stark is not a soft persimmon that can be easily taken down by sending a few action teams.
Just the opposite!
Not only does the other side have a well-trained and well-equipped army, but they can also avoid the searches of the Human Alliance and SHIELD, launch raids on important factory facilities and escape unscathed.
To sum up, if Baron Strucker is really in Sokovia, then any attack must at least be planned according to the standards of a war.
"How about it? Do you need me to go over and help you investigate?" Iron Man volunteered.
Coulson shook his head quickly. "No, don't rush to alert the enemy. I have to report to the top leaders of the Human Rights Alliance first, and talk to Nick Fury by the way. You know, this matter involves too many aspects, and the consequences of failure are also very serious."
"Okay, then you can report slowly. I want to go back and make some preparations."
Tony Stark turned around and was about to leave.
But before he could take two steps, Coulson shouted from behind: "Wait! Is everything going well for this expedition?"
"Well, it went pretty smoothly.
The mercenaries who were hired to do the dirty work almost wiped out the entire Moster population, even newborn babies were not spared.
When I left, the total number of survivors on the three planets was probably less than half a million.
You have to know that it is an interstellar civilization with a population of over 50 billion.
In addition, I suggest that you should not buy any specialty products shipped back from those colonies for a few years, whether it is toiletries such as soap or various agricultural and animal husbandry products. "
Iron Man said these words in a slightly low voice without looking back, then walked out of the office without looking back and disappeared at the end of the corridor at an extremely fast speed.
As for Director Coulson, he took a deep breath and silently digested this extremely explosive information.
He knew very well that those so-called colonial specialties were most likely related to efficient genocide.
For example, the fat from the bodies of the Mousterians was used to make soap, and the bodies and bones were buried in the fields as compost so that crops could grow better.
Since they have committed something as genocide, they naturally want to maximize their profits.
Of course, if Grant Ward was cruel enough, he would deliberately leave a small number of survivors to conduct various cruel biological experiments.
Anyway, from now on, the Mousterians and their civilization will only become an insignificant footnote in the history of human space colonization, just like the Indians who are raised in reserves in North America.
Perhaps in the face of these dark, cruel and cold realities, the only thing that makes Coulson feel a little comforted is that the huge debt owed by the Human Union to the Baator Hell Bank can finally be repaid.
…
At the same time, in the void far away on the other side of the universe, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Groot, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer and other members of the first generation of Guardians of the Galaxy have arrived here.
To be precise, it entered the severed head of the member of the God Group.
Although it is just a head, its size is comparable to that of a massive planet.
Since this place is a typical lawless area, it has always been the largest black market trading center in the universe.
Thousands of desperadoes, mercenaries, killers, interstellar pirates, spies, traitors from various civilizations and wanted criminals gathered here to participate in the event.
It can even be said that this is one of the most dangerous places in the entire universe, and it is also a paradise and paradise for adventurers and opportunists.
Because here you can experience the true meaning of "absolute freedom".
Whether it was the slave trade, the sale of stolen goods, the trafficking of addictive drugs, or even gambling for huge sums of money, everything was legal.
There are so many bizarre and dark entertainment projects that are beyond counting.
In some ways, this place is very similar to the huge cyberpunk city built by Zuo Si.
It's just that the nature of the huge cyberpunk city of Baator is evil and order, while the Void is closer to chaos.
"Thank God, we finally arrived safely. Now I suggest that we go to the tavern to have a drink, then eat something delicious, and experience the unique mini-games here. Does anyone of you want to join us?"
Rocket Raccoon stood on the berth of the spaceship, gazing at the brightly lit entertainment venue in front of him with shining eyes, and it was obvious that he could no longer suppress his restless heart.
Although his appearance looks cute and deceptive, he is actually a genetically modified super-intelligent creature. It is said that his intelligence level is comparable to that of Iron Man. Both are top geniuses.
"Count me in."
Star-Lord was the first to step forward and choose to join in.
"And me!"
“Hopefully the wine here won't be too disappointing.”
…
Soon, this makeshift jailbreak team reached an agreement.
Even though they didn't have much money left, they had the priceless treasure, the Cosmic Spirit Orb, in their hands, so everyone behaved very generously.
Especially Rocket Raccoon, who was addicted to gambling. He lost all the money for refueling the spacecraft in the gambling game alone.
The people who had been suppressed in prison for a long time completely let themselves go and were completely immersed in spiritual pleasure.
Coupled with the influence of alcohol, even Gamora, who is usually serious, rarely showed a smile.
After they had spent most of the little money they had left, they got together again to discuss what to do next.
"Are you sure that the so-called employer will come here with a lot of money to buy the Cosmic Spirit Orb from us?"
Star-Lord was obviously a little drunk, and asked in an uncertain tone, holding his forehead.
Rocket Raccoon answered without hesitation: "Of course.
Believe me, it is much safer to sell to this employer than to anyone else.
Whether it is Ronan or anyone else, there is a high probability that they will default on their debt after getting the Cosmic Spirit Orb.
Because in their eyes, we are too weak, there is no need to really pay, just kill us and silence us."
"Wouldn't your employer do the same?" Gamora narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively.
Rocket Raccoon rolled his eyes in annoyance: "I'm not sure, but at least it's more reliable than the previous ones.
Don't forget, the Kree, led by Ronan the Accuser, don't like fair deals.
What they are best at is plundering and conquering.
I don't want to deal with such a dangerous guy."
"Okay. Anyway, as long as this thing doesn't fall into Thanos' hands, it doesn't matter who we sell it to."
Gamora shrugged nonchalantly.
"Did they say how long it would take to get there? You know, the Void is not safe. Especially those looters, they are likely to tip off Yondu."
As he spoke, Star-Lord carefully glanced at the guys who were shouting and dressed in quite non-mainstream styles near the gambling table.
Although the Marauders are not a monolithic entity, but are divided into factions of varying sizes, Yondu is just one of them.
But now that Yongdu has offered a high bounty, as long as his identity is exposed, he will inevitably lead to endless hunting.
"Don't worry, they should be here in the next two days. As for those predators, if they dare to come, I will let them taste the great treasures just made on the spaceship. Hahahaha!"
Rocket Raccoon burst into laughter, then tilted his head back and drank the little wine left in the glass, then burped in an ungraceful manner.
"I hate long waits."
Star-Lord muttered quietly before leaning his head back against the back of his chair and yawning.
Needless to say, this long journey made him feel extremely tired both physically and mentally.
If there wasn't a huge sum of money beckoning at him, this guy would have long been unable to resist stopping on a planet halfway to relax and enjoy himself.
As an Earthling who left Earth at a young age and mingled with predators, Star-Lord's values and aesthetics had actually been distorted beyond recognition long ago.
This can be seen from the fact that he has a strong taste and is attracted to Gamora.
Seeing that Star-Lord was tired, Rocket Raccoon didn't say much. He just helped him up from the chair, turned around and left the bar, intending to return to the spaceship to spend the night.
After all, there are a lot of people here and it would be a big trouble if you were recognized by accident.
After everyone returned to the spaceship, Gamora immediately found an opportunity to stop Rocket Raccoon alone: "Can you tell me about the employer you mentioned?"
"Why, are you worried that after we sell the Cosmic Spirit Sphere, your adoptive father and Ronan will try to snatch it away?"
Rocket Raccoon obviously saw through the other party's little thoughts at a glance.
"That's right. You don't understand what it would mean for the future of the entire universe if Thanos got his hands on this thing. We must stop him at all costs."
This is the first time Gamora has issued a serious warning.
Although she did not know what secrets and powers the Cosmic Orb was hidden in, it was not difficult to see the great value it contained just from the importance Thanos attached to this treasure.
But Rocket Raccoon curled his lips and said, "Come on, you are too self-righteous.
Do you think you have the power to disrupt Thanos's plans? A fight on that level is simply not something we can participate in.
Big shots will naturally be dealt with by big shots.
All we have to do is sell the Cosmic Spirit Orb for a large sum of money so that we can enjoy life.
Finally, a reminder that as Thanos' daughter, you have not yet won our trust."
After that, Rocket Raccoon ignored Gamora, picked up the blanket, walked straight to one of the seats and lay down on it.
After a while, snoring sounds echoed in the cockpit of this small spaceship.
Since Star-Lord's spaceship is not big, there is no dedicated lounge, and the only options for sleeping are in the cockpit or the cargo hold at the back.
Seeing that everyone had gone to bed, Gamora couldn't help but sigh slightly. She sat alone near the entrance, looking at the scenery in the distance and feeling sad.
She knew very well that once she took the step of betraying Thanos, there was no turning back.
However, she didn't know that Zuo Si and Kara had not only arrived in the Land of Nothingness a long time ago, but were now enjoying each other's hospitality in the mansion of the Universe Collector.
"Ah, my dear friend, thank you for once again bringing me so many interesting collections. You know, there are not many things in this universe that can surprise me, but you are an exception."
The collector stared at the gifts placed on the open space, his face filled with an expression of great joy.
Because without exception, these things were things he had never heard of or seen before.
"You're too polite. We're just getting what we need." Zuo Si responded with a smile.
The reason why he had such a good relationship with the other party was mainly because it was established by chance when he was dealing with the Space Gem and the Reality Gem before.
After all, the hobbies of the Space Collector and the Figure King Taraxin are basically the same.
The only difference is that the former collects rare, uncommon and curious things, while the latter collects things with certain historical and cultural value.
As a planeswalker, what Zuo Si lacks the least is things that the cosmic collector has never seen.
The Universe Collector knows many rumors and secrets about the universe.
The two hit it off immediately and soon became familiar with each other through several successful transactions.
"Hahahaha! This is also what I like most about you. Tell me, I brought so many interesting collections this time, what do you want from me?"
The collector crossed his hands in front of his chest, obviously ready to "bleed heavily".
Because he didn't want to lose this friend who always brought him surprises.
Zuo Si tasted a few pieces of food brought by the maid calmly and said directly: "I want some of the most core material inside the head of the Celestial God at my feet. This should not be difficult for you, right?"
"What? Why are you suddenly interested in it? If I remember correctly, you refused to use this thing as a trading item before."
The Collector raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by this.
You should know that a large part of the economic system of the Land of Nothingness is based on the exploitation of organic matter from the brain of the God Group.
Whether it's bones, brain tissue, or cerebrospinal fluid, all of them are unique and scarce resources in the universe and can be sold at unimaginably high prices on the black market.
Even many of the most advanced scientific research fields of civilizations or the core components of powerful weapons are made of these materials from the God Group.
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "Now I have changed my mind. Because I suddenly realized that this thing is actually very useful, but I just didn't realize it before."
"Okay, whatever. It makes no difference to me anyway."
The collector did not ask Zuo Si what he did with the body tissues of the gods.
He knew very well that the powerful young man in front of him was the ruthless man who defeated Dormammu and seized half of the dark dimension.
And according to the information released by Dormammu, the other party seems to come from another universe and has many very powerful gods as allies.
Therefore, the Cosmic Collector is not completely ignorant of Zuo Si, and he is also very clear about what kind of existence he is dealing with.
"In that case, let's make it a deal. By the way, this is my girlfriend, you can call her Kara. If I'm not here in the future, you can contact her directly."
Zuo Si raised his arms and hugged the Kryptonian girl in his arms.
"It is a great honor to meet you, beautiful Miss Kara."
The Cosmic Collector bowed gracefully with a polite smile on his face.
Because from the moment they met, he had already felt the amazing energy emanating from the girl.
If the age and appearance didn't match, he would have thought it was Captain Marvel herself.
"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too, Mr. Collector."
Kara nodded slightly in response.
After saying hello, the collector immediately changed the subject and asked with interest, "You came all the way to this barren land, didn't you just want to do business with me?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "No, of course not. In fact, we are here to buy the Cosmic Spirit Orb, which is the Power Stone among the Infinity Stones."
moment!
The Cosmic Collector's face changed drastically, and he asked in an incredulous tone: "The Cosmic Spirit Ball has already arrived in the Land of Nothingness? When? Why didn't I know about it?"
"Just a few hours ago. The person who currently owns it is called Star-Lord, a very interesting fellow. I arranged to meet him here."
Zuo Si did not try to hide anything and openly stated the real purpose of his trip.
But the Collector showed a very distressed expression and complained: "Oh my God! You really brought me a huge trouble. Don't you know that the Kree Ronan and Thanos are both eager to get it? Especially the latter, who is definitely the most dangerous and craziest guy in the entire universe."
Zuo Si asked disapprovingly, "Are you referring to his plan to wipe out half of all life in the universe?"
"You know?"
The Collector raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Of course I know. After all, hasn't he been implementing that ridiculous theory all these years?"
When saying this, Zuo Si did not hide his contempt and disdain for this overlord of the universe.
"Well, I don't care about the grudge between you and him, I just hope that the war won't spread to my place. After all, the Land of Nothingness can't stand the tossing of you two."
The collector expressed his force field and attitude very clearly.
"Don't worry, now that I'm here I'll take charge. Whether it's Ronan the Accuser or Thanos himself. By the way, the food tastes good."
After making the promise, Zuo Si took Kara and left the collector's mansion which covered an astonishing area.
When they reached the door, Kara couldn't help but ask, "Why did you mention the power gem to that guy?"
“Because he’s the master here.
When we cause trouble on someone else's territory, of course we have to inform the owner. This is the minimum courtesy.
Remember, we are not robbers, nor are we unreasonable barbarians. We must always maintain elegance and grace.
Don’t always resort to simple and crude methods of solving problems with your fists.”
Zuo Si patiently explained to the increasingly violent Kryptonian girl.
In fact, the huge head of the God Group under your feet belongs to the Collector of the Universe.
It is through the mining of organic matter above that he can continuously obtain amazing wealth and realize his strong desire for collecting.
"Elegance and grace?"
Kara's eyes widened, obviously not quite sure what was going on.
Zuo Si nodded meaningfully: "That's right.
Although violence is the ultimate means to solve all problems, it does not mean that everything has to be solved by violence.
If that happens, everything will return to the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.
What we have to do is to establish order, an order that we lead and control, and then let others obey.
Besides, do you think I informed the Universe Collector to seek his consent? No! I just informed him.
Of course, if he is tactless or asks us to leave as a host, that is another story."
"Ha! So your so-called politeness and grace is to tell the other person what you are going to do and then ignore their resistance?"
Kara was obviously amused by the rogue logic in these words.
“Yeah, that’s it.
After all, as a strong man, I have already done this much. Am I not polite and graceful enough?
You know, when Thanos decides to massacre half of the population of a planet, he never notifies the other party in advance.
The Kree did the same thing when they conquered and destroyed a civilization.
Not to mention Dormammu who suddenly and forcibly pulled a planet into the dark dimension without any warning.
So by comparison, I am already the most reasonable person among the strong ones."
Zuo Si argued seriously.
You have to know that he is not talking nonsense, but stating a very intuitive fact.
Although his camp is evil, it has never been the kind of evil that tends to violence, blood, and killing, but rather the kind of evil that digs deep into human nature and desires.
Therefore, the evil represented by Zuo Si is not so destructive and destructive as it seems.
However, Kara obviously didn't buy it. She curled her lips and refuted, "What about those Most people who were hunted down and killed by the Earthlings? You have to know that the Human Union was forced by you to embark on this path of external expansion and colonization."
"That's the Earthlings' own choice. What does it have to do with me? I didn't point a gun at them and demand that they do this. I just provided them with an option."
Zuo Si deliberately put on an innocent look.
"Hahahaha! Okay, okay, you are innocent. All of this can be blamed on the greed and stupidity of those mortals, okay?"
Kara undoubtedly knew that she was no match for her man when it came to sophistry, so she decisively ended the topic.
But soon, she changed the subject and asked, "Should we go directly to Rocket Raccoon to buy the Cosmic Sphere now, or should we wait a little longer and observe the situation?"
"Hmm - wait a minute. Because the Power Stone is of very limited use to me right now, I'd rather use it as a bait to fish."
Zuo Si stroked his chin and expressed his inner thoughts.
"Who are you fishing for?"
Kara's eyes flickered with curiosity.
She didn't think there was anyone in this universe who was worth Zuo Si spending so much time and energy on.
"It doesn't matter if it's the Kree or Thanos, as long as we can catch one.
The former is one of the biggest obstacles to the rise of human beings on Earth.
I needed an excuse to warn and weaken them a bit, to pave the way for humanity to develop into an interstellar civilization.
Otherwise, if we launch one or two more genocidal wars like this, someone will stand up.
As for Thanos, he is an indispensable tool for me to obtain the Soul Stone."
Zuo Si gave the answer very straightforwardly.
"So you'll be staying here for a while, can we spend some time alone together?"
Kara pressed herself close to him, her eyes revealing naked and undisguised desire.
"That's about right, provided there are no other unexpected situations."
After saying that, Zuo Si cast his gaze towards the entertainment venues in the distance that were specially prepared for desperadoes. It was obvious that he was very interested in the ecology of the Land of Nothingness.
Because there are no laws or rules here at all, everything is the unspoken rules that are gradually formed through mutual competition and games.
For example, you have to pay for eating, drinking, gambling, accommodation, and finding women to vent your feelings. For another example, once a transaction is reached, even if you find that you have been cheated, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
If anyone violates these rules, he or she will immediately become the public enemy of the entire society.
So even though the Land of Nothingness gives people a very chaotic feeling overall, there is actually order in the chaos.
As a person who likes to conduct social experiments, how could Zuo Si miss such an interesting social environment.
Kara obviously noticed his interest and immediately took his arm and walked into the bar that Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon had been to before, and began to experience the local customs and culture at close range.
Especially the various gossips brought by those desperate criminals.
You have to know that the universe is not peaceful nowadays.
Influenced by the spread of oil and various advanced technologies, wars between civilizations are almost everywhere.
And who knows, he might suddenly pull out a super weapon with incredible power to shatter the stars directly.
Especially for a civilization like the Kree Empire, which relies on military conquest and brutal rule to maintain its basic foundation, internal uprisings and rebellions can be said to occur one after another without a moment of peace.
Other formerly powerful civilizations also encountered unprecedented challenges.
