Chapter 532: Thieves
"'Iron Man?' ”
Hearing Princess Cytia's words, the three of them were a little surprised.
"Are you sure he claims to be?" Wanda asked.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure. He had mentioned the name more than once. ”
"Hmm...... So he must not be wearing a set of red and gold exoskeleton armor, right? ”
"Exactly." Princess Styria's eyes rolled, and her gaze swept over several people, "Oh? Looks like you know each other? ”
"Hmm...... Sort of, barely. ”
Wanda couldn't help but be embarrassed. It's such a coincidence that you can still hear Stark when you run more than a million light-years away from Earth, and it seems that Stark happened to be passing by just a week ago, so it happened to be staggered with them......
After Michael upgraded Iron Man gear once, it wasn't too difficult to derive interstellar travel techniques with Stark's abilities. But the question is, why? Why doesn't he stay on Earth and come so far away?
Could it be to celebrate his resignation from the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. chief and make a special trip to travel and relax after unloading his burden?
Michael turned to Shirley, "Shirley, where is Stark now?" ”
Shirley's eyes flickered, and a large amount of data spanned a million light-years through the two-way link between the elven listening bone and the magic array, and the information was quickly exchanged with her main server on Earth.
After a dozen seconds, the light in Shirley's eyes dimmed. She shook her head slightly: "I don't know, there is no trace of him." But I've observed the reactions of the Avengers and some of the people around him, and it's quite possible that he's no longer on Earth. ”
It's a coincidence. They had just decided to go for a ride in the universe, but Stark's side had the same idea, and their itineraries unexpectedly overlapped.
"That should be our friend." Michael said, "Can you tell me what he's doing here?" ”
Princess Hytea smiled brightly.
"Oh, the Cosmic Knight? He's pretty impressive, too. I mean, though not as good as you. "One of our convoys had an accident in space, they were swept into a meteorite area by space turbulence, and the ship's engine was damaged. The cosmic knight happened to pass by and kindly helped them out of their predicament and repaired the ship for them. ”
Wanda was surprised. Stark is so powerful? Will alien spaceships be repaired?
"As a thank you to him, I invited him to the castle for a feast and we became friends." Princess Hitea said, winking at Michael, "I thought that person was incredible enough, but you have better ones." Seriously, I'm starting to wonder what your planet looks like...... Do you have a princess over there? ”
"If you mean the princess of the whole earth, then no." Michael shrugged.
"Oh? Would you become interested in a princess? She smiled even wider.
Michael's face was expressionless.
"Well, what about purple skin? Are there purple-skinned women on your planet? ”
Wanda stood up angrily. What's going on? Are aliens so open?
The women's ticket is watching here, at least you have to pay a little attention, right?
"I'm sorry." Wanda unhappily took the wine glasses from the two of them and put them back on the suspended tray, "We have to go." ”
Princess Styya was not angry either, and only shrugged her shoulders slightly: "Okay, of course." But before that, I highly recommend you to visit one more thing...... Something extremely important to our entire planet and our nation. In fact, it has a certain connection with you, and you must come and see it. ”
Wanda hesitated and turned to ask Michael for advice, but Michael said he didn't care. So Wanda thought about it and accepted the other party's last invitation.
As the group jumped down the steps and walked briskly across the ballroom, Michael paused and turned his head to look at the corner of the ballroom.
"What's wrong, knight?" Princess Hitea asked.
"Who's that guy?" Michael gestured to a large man sitting in the corner.
It was a rather bluffing fellow, wearing a silver helmet and a pair of horns on his head. He wore a red cloak and held a pale yellow wine glass in his hand, in which a golden flame seemed to rise.
"Oh, that's, that's a bounty hunter, it's amazing. But he's not a local, he's just passing through. Hithia said, "If I were you, I would have stayed as far away from that guy as possible." ”
Michael hummed and didn't speak again.
He had the feeling that the big guy had been staring at them from the moment they walked in the door.
Following Princess Styria, they soon came to a huge palace. Princess Hitia waved her hand, and a golden gate more than thirty meters high slowly opened in front of several people, revealing the huge hall behind it. The dome is a semi-circular golden frame, and the stars cast an abundance of golden rays from directly above, reflecting the entire hall in full light. In the middle of the main hall is a statue of more than 30 meters, which looks like a divine goddess in the sunlight.
Although Wanda doesn't look at the princess and the place very well now, she must admit that this scene does look shocking.
"Good look." Michael said.
Princess Styja smiled, "Thank you." ”
She led a few people inside, and said, "This is my palace, but at the same time, it belongs to all of us VOLDI race. This is where we store the most important thing for our whole clan - a core, which we call the VOLDI core. It provides us with shelter and energy, and we draw the energy we need to sustain ourselves from the star-giants, the ancient gods who are our divine protectors, the foundation of our race. And the VOLDI core ...... is the key to protecting us from the wrath of the gods. ”
Wanda looked dazed: "What do you mean?" ”
"This means that their race is accustomed to drawing energy from some of the higher races, such as the Cosmic Celestials, in order to sustain their race." Michael explained, "And that thing called the 'VOLDI Core' is the key item that protects them from being destroyed by the Celestials. ”
Princess Hytia smiled.
"Look, you barbarians still have a little bit of brains. Yes, that's what it means. We draw energy from the interstellar giants to survive, and the VOLDI core has protected the continuation of our race since time immemorial. Until a greedy, hateful creature invades our fortress, takes us to the core, and puts our entire race in existential jeopardy. ”
At this, Heatia's expression changed abruptly, becoming distorted, full of anger and hatred, as if the three people she was facing were the gangsters who had committed the unpardonable sin.
"Let me guess," Michael looked at her calmly, "you wouldn't be the greedy and hateful guy you were talking about...... Happens to be 'Iron Man', right? ”
