infinite hero

While Tony and Sid steered the spaceship close to Norwell, the collector Tandya Tiwan was walking around in his mansion.

No one has a bigger house on Norwell than the Collector himself.But in fact, not only is it not spacious, but it is also crowded—the space is so full of his beloved collection that it is difficult to find a place to stay.

And in his collection, apart from precious objects, there are also some rather inexplicable things: such as a dog in a space suit, a large cocoon that looks like yellow shit (actually it is the dormant magician Adam), etc. wait.

If no one bothered, Tiwan could spend a whole day indulging in these collections, entertaining himself.In fact, this is exactly his goal of controlling the entire Norwell Star to become a criminal's paradise: the more collectible something is, the less it can be obtained through normal methods; therefore, a chaotic black market is the place that fits his ideal .

But today was bound to be different.Just as Tiwan was examining a stuffed woman with an elbow turned inward, he suddenly averted his eyes and stared into the void.After a few seconds, he finally confirmed his feelings, and couldn't help but smile: "Today is really a good day."

Immediately, Tiwan called the maid and asked the latter to prepare related matters for him, because a distinguished guest was coming.

Looking at the universe, you can count on two hands the number of people who can make Mr. Tiwan nod and say a word of honor.On Norwell, the fastest circulation is not coins, but news.So, when Tony and Sid arrived with ordinary telescopes enough to see the mining platform and those yellow-green cerebrospinal fluid pools on Norwell star, a lot of people knew that some terrible people were about to visit. up the neck and wait.

But Tony didn't feel any of those emotions.In fact, he didn't really want to land on that messy planet.He's innocent and he's guilty, and what he and Sid are doing really needs to be done in a low-key way.

"I never thought that the word low-key would come out of your mouth one day." Sid expressed surprise at this.In fact, he thought so, but the problem was that their ship had to be repaired, and the collector himself had better see it.The former one is about time, while the latter one is about the ultimate purpose of their trip.

"If you don't want to use those people's things, I can fix the spaceship myself. Of course, the energy is from ether." Sid finally made a concession.

"I know you don't want to use it, and I don't want you to use it." Caught in a dilemma, Tony was a little annoyed.Things like ether, of course, can be used as little as possible; let alone the side effects and so on, it is easier for others to discover the active infinite gems, of course, if you can use it, you don’t use it!

"I know." Sid squeezed Tony's hand on the low table reassuringly. "If we go up, we must make some preparations, at least not let other people see that we are earthlings at first glance. In addition, we'd better make a quick decision, so we may not see the collectors. But at least, stay That's enough time for me to read some people's souls."

Tony finally nodded reluctantly, because he knew this was the safest countermeasure they could do at the moment. "Then we'd better put the spaceship outside Norwell, and turn on the invisible reflection device. We'll fly over with our armor on." Speaking of the armor, he finally looked better, "It's completely new! Guarantee that they will Knowing that Iron Man can't recognize him!"

It's easy for Tony to make new armor, but it's not easy for Tony to abandon his inherent style and go low-key.Sid's heart moved, "Thank you, Tony."

Naturally, it takes time to cover your tracks and face.During this time, a new spaceship approached Norwell.The five passengers inside are in for a treat - they just broke out of an interstellar prison!

Our dear Star Lord, Peter Quill, never imagined that his first honorable imprisonment was given by a green-skinned and red-haired woman.Although, Camorra does have the nickname "The Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe"...

Adjust the time axis forward, when Star-Lord left the brown dwarf and arrived at Xandar.He spent a lot of effort to get rid of the tracking of the Kerry battleship, and wanted to take the cosmic sphere to hand in the task.But when the old man of the exchange heard that Ronan wanted the ball, he immediately refused to accept it; he was kicked out without saying anything, and immediately closed down.

Xingjue had a bad nose and had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.However, the more unlucky thing was yet to come - Camorra learned of his subordinate's defeat, so he waited outside the exchange to intercept him!

There is no doubt that the two had a big fight.During this period, Rocket Raccoon and Tree Human Groot, who had just escaped from the research institute, were also involved in the battle.

But it turns out that Xingjue's judgment is correct, making trouble on the well-ordered planet Xandar is asking for trouble - within a minute of this vicious brawl accident, more than six patrolling police aircraft rushed to the scene , put them all in prison——

Because unfortunately, Xingjue himself is a wanted criminal, and the lives in Camorra's hands are countless. The raccoon and the treant have jointly committed dozens of robberies... I have to say, I have to say that I am in the cosmic prison for serious criminals (Qi Linxing) or something. Nor wrong them.

As for the fifth man, Drax the Destroyer, he joined them in prison.Because Ronan killed all his family members, he wants to get revenge on Ronan.And if he joins the escape plan, he can use the trail of the sphere to lure Ronan to go out in person.

Such five people can be said to be a messy combination.And now, this motley crew is going to go find a collector, sell him the sphere for a penny of the money they receive—

At least Star-Lord himself thinks so.So far, he has absolutely no feelings for the peace of the universe, blood feud, etc. Only money is the truth.

As the saying goes, wealth does not show itself, and Xingjue is well aware of this truth.But who can tell him why a large group of people noticed them just after their spaceship sailed into Norwell?

"Are you famous in this place?" Camorra felt that this was a bit strange as soon as he got off the spaceship.

"It's not as good as you." Xingjue came down after her, and once again witnessed the same grand scene as the prison——

Everyone looked sideways at Camorra: some people were horrified and fearful, while more people were disgusted and hostile-Camora killed too many people under Thanos and made countless enemies.

Camorra himself was blind to these people and sights. "Long night and dreamy, let's go find the collector right away."

Xingjue's face suddenly collapsed. "Let me try my luck anyway? Have another glass of champagne?" Just got out of prison, shouldn't he relax?

But Camorra didn't answer, just glanced at him coldly.

"This woman is right. I think it's better to get the money early." The raccoon came out of the cabin with his heavy machine gun, and rarely agreed with Camorra.He and Groot are together, and the goal is the same as Star-Lord - money!

"Okay, you won." Three of the five people sided. Star-Lord knew that it was useless to have the support of Drax the Destroyer, but he still asked, "What do you mean?"

"I don't want money." The shirtless, bald man with dark red patterns all over his body answered him impatiently. "Just go."

"Well, from one-fifth to one-fourth!" Star-Lord finally felt that there was something to be happy about.

So, the four set off.When they arrived at Tiwan's mansion, Star-Lord and Camorra went in to find someone, while Raccoon and Treant guarded the door.

"...Who are you?" After seeing the person brought in by the maid, Tiwan's snow-white eyebrows trembled imperceptibly.Two people, yes, but not these two people!

Xingjue himself has some doubts.Because he saw the collections of collectors and had to admit that they were all curious.But anyway, the most important thing is that Tiwan can afford to pay. "We have something that we would like to ask you to estimate. Although the post was anonymous, I think you want it, right?" He kept an eye out and didn't say what it was.

But Thiwan had an instant realization. "Sphere?" He was a little taken aback, getting up from his armchair.Is today his lucky day?First felt the approach of the ether, and the sphere came to the door again? "is that true?"

Such an irrepressible excited reaction... Xingjue glanced at Camorra, just in time to bump into him and also glance at him. "I can only assure you that this is how I got it," he said, pulling out the little silver ball and handing it to Tiwan.

"Then let's take a look..." Tiwan reached out to take it, and led them to a nearby table that looked like a workbench.

After he inserted the sphere, the two long handles of the instrument began to work, and quickly unscrewed the sphere, revealing the dark purple thing floating like smoke inside.But unlike smoke, it is not transparent at all.

"What is this?" Camorra asked curiously, although she couldn't see it on her face.

In fact, she doesn't care about money, she just hopes that the sphere will not reach Thanos through Ronan.This is undoubtedly a kind of betrayal of Thanos, but whether it's a reformation or other reasons, she doesn't want to do it anymore.So at this time, her purpose is actually somewhat similar to that of Sid Tony - she wants to see if the collector has the ability to take care of the sphere.

"An extremely powerful object," replied the Collector.When he said that, he didn't pay attention to Star-Lord and Camorra at all, his eyes were completely glued to the sphere.At the same time, he manipulated the handle, causing the sphere to emit a straight purple light. "If you can get it, you can change anything..."

Camorra frowned.How can this kind of thing be handed over to Thanos?It would be a disaster for Ronan!

Xingjue also probably understood why he was hunted down by Ronan.But, seriously, he's not interested in spheres, shouldn't they be having an open and honest discussion about the price now?

At this time, the maid served them drinks.No one paid attention to her at first, but she suddenly stretched out her hand, trying to grab the opened ball——

"No! Don't touch it—" The collector's slightly panicked cry was almost immediately drowned in the sudden explosion.

Go back in time for a moment--

Three minutes before the explosion, Sid and Tony, who were disguised, were already walking on the streets of Norwell Star.These streets are actually brain stems, so it is common to see a pool of cerebrospinal fluid within a few steps.

"This is kind of gross," Tony said to Sid in a low voice.He was wearing skeleton armor, and half of his exposed skin had been changed to purple with Sid's potion. No one on earth knew he was Iron Man.

"A little bit," Sid agreed.He wears armor similar to Tony's, with a different skin color on purpose to make him look more like a Kree. "But we won't stay here for long."

"Right." Tony nodded. "Fortunately, the target is easy to find..." He got stuck before he finished speaking——

Yes, collector's mansions are easy to find.But no one told him that there were two... wait, what guarded the gate?

"What are those two?" Tony had to stop and ask Sid.Whether it was a raccoon with a gun or a big tree walking, he had never seen it before!

Sid frowned too.When he was looking for the way before, no one told him that there was this type of guard in front of the collector's mansion!So he had to use his six senses again, and quickly came up with the correct answer: "They also just arrived. There are two companions inside, bringing... the cosmic sphere?"

"...what?" Tony almost jumped up. "Didn't the Fairy Queen say before that the cosmic sphere hadn't been found yet? It turned out so soon...?"

"We'd better be careful," Sid said, pulling Tony into a short dark alley on the left before the raccoon and the tree man noticed them. "I overheard their conversation..." he repeated what he heard as briefly as possible, "the collector is offering a reward for the cosmic sphere!"

"What does he want that for? Just for collection?" Tony didn't understand.

"Many people don't know what the cosmic sphere is, but collectors do." Sid quickly replied, "I think it may have something to do with him having lived for a long time."

Tony realizes that things are worse than he guessed. "You mean, he also knows about six infinite gems?"

"And probably deep enough," Sid added.

The two looked at each other.If a collector knows what he can do with Infinity Stones, it's hard to say he'll just keep them in a display case.Also, the collector's goal is too big, and it may be more likely to attract people who want Infinity Stones to come and grab them.

"What's the origin of those two guys inside?" Tony hurriedly asked.This place is too messy and the collectors are unreliable, they should take action!Wouldn't it be worse if the cosmic sphere fell into the hands of Ronan or Thanos?

"A man, Peter Quill, is a star robber, or a bounty hunter; a woman, Camorra..." Sid had to pause because he received too much negative information about Camorra, "Looks like a murderous executioner."

Tony raised his eyebrows.The meaning of this expression is obvious - so what are we waiting for?

With two Infinity Stones already on him, Sid didn't know what to do with another one.But there's no way he's going to sit back and watch the Reality Stone fall into the wrong hands.Anyway, according to the information he got, the Reality Gem doesn't actively attack or possess or something... Is that enough?

"There were five of them, and one of them seems to have stepped off to go to the bar for a while." Sid took no time to tell Tony whatever news he knew. "That guy is big, and it's a good thing he's not here."

"What else? Visually, that raccoon is a gun expert." Tony pretended to glance at the door unintentionally, "The tree man really can't figure it out."

"That's right, the raccoon can use all kinds of guns, and the accuracy is good enough. The tree man is very powerful, and the branches can be stretched at will, and can also be used as spikes. Be careful with Quill's elemental gun. Camorra uses double daggers , it’s best not to come within three meters of her. As for the collector himself...he seems to have prophetic abilities, but he doesn’t have any attacking skills.” Sid finished speaking in one breath.

"Precognition?" Tony felt that this was the most unreliable.And just when he wanted to ask how much the range of this prediction was, Sid, who had been listening to the wind, suddenly pushed him to the ground: "Be careful——!"

A huge scorching heat wave brushed against their shoulders, followed by deafening noises and various debris flying all over the sky.

"...What are you doing?" Tony coughed several times before he could speak clearly in the smoke.Changes happen before the plan is drawn up?

"There was an accident inside. The collector's maid tried to hold the Reality Gem with her bare hands, and then it exploded because she couldn't bear the huge force." Sid replied in his fastest speaking speed, and at the same time thought it was a good idea for a sneak attack. Chance. "I'll try, wait for three seconds!"

one two Three--

Tony blinked and felt Sid move away from him, pulling him up hard at the same time.

"I got the Reality Gem... Go away, I don't know if they'll find out who did it!"

It was obvious that Sid's soul left his body at that moment and stole the deep purple smoke in the silver sphere in the chaos - when he was in the state of soul, he couldn't touch anything except the same kind of power!

Meanwhile, the Collector's mansion has been reduced to ruins.

When the explosion happened, Xingjue closed the shell of the sphere as quickly as possible, put it in his bag, and ran out the door by himself.His movements are so fast and sensitive that Camorra, who also wants to take the ball, can only watch him take the lead.

"It can't be placed here." When the two stood outside the ruins together, the disheartened Camorra came to a conclusion.

Are collectors too unreliable?A maid can make an explosion?If you really hand over the sphere to him, why don't you hand it over to Thanos every minute?

Xingjue, who was also ashamed and fearful, also nodded. "Maybe we should find a better buyer."

This remark got a pair of white eyes from Camorra. "Are you kidding? You want to sell after knowing what it can do?"

Half of the Star-Lords feel that their hard work should not go to waste, and the other half of the Star-Lords feel that Camorra is right.So the whole Xingjue was vacillating, and finally had to silently touch the back of his head.

With such a big incident, it is obvious that Xingjue and his party can no longer stay on Norwell.But just as they were about to leave Norwell, a whole row of Kerry warships approached——

"Ronan is here!" Because he stayed under Ronan for a while, Camorra quickly recognized the Kerry main ship, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Xingjue turned pale with shock. "How do they know we're here? Could it be..."

Before the collector behind could say anything, someone interrupted him.

"It's me," said Drax the Destroyer, who was going to the bar, holding an ax with a crazy smile on his face, "It's true that you were hunted down! Let your name out, and Ronan will come right away! I will kill him and avenge my family!"

"Did you find Ronan?" Realizing that he had been betrayed by Drax, Star-Lord almost vomited blood.Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs!

When the entire Norwell star was in panic, Sid and Tony had sneaked back to their Adamant alloy spaceship.

"That's it?" Tony stared at the dark purple smoke that didn't look big or bright.Sid can touch the Reality Gem at will without being affected, but he can't, and neither can ordinary materials, so he can only find a super-suspension hollow sphere device to put it in. "It doesn't look very eye-catching..."

Sid nodded. "It's also because of this that I was able to steal it under the nose of Quill. It was too messy at that time, and he probably couldn't see it clearly."

"Then we'd better leave quickly," Tony immediately concluded, "It will be bad when he finds out. And didn't you say that collectors have the power of prophecy?"

"That's right, that's why I said it before, I don't know if it will be discovered." Sid nodded and used ether to let their spaceship leave this star field quickly.It's better to be found than to be caught!

As for Norwell Star, there is no doubt that it has fallen into a chaotic battle.Generally speaking, Ronan and Xingyun's overall strength has an overwhelming advantage, so they took away the cosmic sphere.However, when Ronan opened it with joy, he found that it was empty, and he was furious——

"Who took it?!"

The first ones brought up for questioning were Xingjue and Camorra.The two were more shocked than the other and shook their heads.In fact, they suspected each other that the other party had tampered with each other, but when they thought of the situation where the maid was wiped out, they suppressed this idea again.

In this way, the spearhead was pointed at the third person present, that is, the collector.

"Almost no one in the universe can directly steal the contents of the silver ball, because it is too powerful." The collector told Ronan while mourning his damaged collection.Then he explained the cause of the explosion.

But Ronan doesn't need a cause, just an effect. "It was just the three of you at that time, and you all said you didn't steal it?" He made it clear that he didn't believe it.

"However, today was a bit of a surprise." The collector had to tell another secret, "Earlier today, I felt that the holders of the ether were approaching Norwell. Maybe they..."

"Ether?" Ronan interrupted rudely.Because he also remembered a report he received earlier, about the ether, and about the two earthlings involved in the dark elf war who had already left the solar system. "are you sure?"

"Of course." Collector assured.

And so Ronan tied the whole thing together - the ether was indeed in those two earthlings who left the solar system, and they've now stolen the cosmic sphere!

"Send me an order to keep those two Starks alive!"
