Chapter 167: Swallowing Stars

Under the series of slaps, Hela, the goddess of death, had red cheeks and was bathed in the violent explosion caused by the decay of the star core in the posture of spinning the top.

The canopy behind her was made of space-time folds, which could withstand a certain amount of energy damage, but she was so close to the blast wave that the pitch-black cloak melted as quickly as snow meets spring sun under the heat and light.

If it were another time, the goddess of death would naturally be able to mobilize divine power and fill her body, even if she would be seriously injured by the explosion, she would not be as alive as she is now - it's a pity that Leon's slap disrupted the divine power in her body, so that she could only use her own body to resist.

As for the results of hard resistance....

In less than half a second, Hela let out a cry of pain, her hair splitting into elementary particles, her skin, bones, and muscles melting, and the surface of her ribcage turned to ashes, revealing the thumping of her internal organs.

She was originally tall and looked like an international supermodel, but under the extreme light and heat, she shrunk into a small ball like a cat, scorched and cracked.

If you stay in the blast for another half a second, I am afraid that this noble Aesir Protoss will become a stream of scattered particles, and there will be no trace of any existence.

Although she is known as the "goddess of death", when death really befalls her, Hela still feels the most pure fear.

Syllable.

Leon's palm pinched the back of Hela's neck, and like a cat, he moved Hela's charred state out of the explosion range.

Before the goddess of death could recover her strength, Leon threw her onto an asteroid and smashed a small mushroom cloud.

Under the series of heavy blows, Hela only hated why she had a painful nervous system, and only hated why she wanted to take on the instructions of the Galactic Empire, as an outpost, to stir up trouble on Earth.

Leon didn't give Hela much more time to regret it, he landed lightly on the surface of the asteroid, walked straight to the crater formed by Hela's impact, and said indifferently to the indescribable black coke: "I asked, you answered." ”

Coke flickered and made a rough sound like boulders grinding against each other, "Hmm...."

"Why are you doing things for the Galactic Empire."

Hearing this question, Hela was silent for a moment, still curled up, and began to answer hoarsely.

A long time ago, Odin had a disagreement with Hela and personally expelled her from Asgard after a great battle. Forced to wander in the universe, Hela has no home to return to, so she can only nest in a corner of the galaxy and wait silently, waiting for the moment when Odin's soul will return to the world.

Just some time ago, the three empires sent people to contact Hela, claiming to give her new powers and help her regain the throne, on the condition that Hela serve them and attack Earth.

Hela has always thought highly of herself and did not take the lobbyists of the three empires seriously, but the other party was not angry, but just made her dream.

"In my dreams, I saw the beginning and end of the universe, the birth and fall of the stars, the endless heat death, and the blue shift of the light of the stars.

Then I saw a giant, born in the universe, dressed in red armor, walking among the stars, picking and devouring the good enough planets.

The Devourer of Planets is a thing of infinite beings and selves, in whom all things, stars, planets, matter, light, heat, and He exists in all.

The nature of my life was so different from him that even I wasn't sure if the dream was real.

However, I vaguely understood his intentions - he wanted something on a certain planet, or a thing, or a person, or simply a certain planet. ”

Hela had to speak at an extremely slow pace because of the severe burns to her vocal cords, and Leon could still feel a shudder in her voice.

A dream that can make a high-ranking deity feel shocked and panicked, and bow to worship....

"...."Leon raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Devouring planets? I seem to have dealt with such an enemy before. ”

"Are you talking about Dormammu? These two are not the same at all! ”

Hela interrupted Leon's words and said bitterly, "As one of the few high-level life forms in the galaxy, Dormammu's information also exists in the databases of the three empires.

Although Dormammu claims to be the lord of the dark dimension, he is actually just a hermit crab living in the subdimensional plane.

If he wants to devour the planet, he must first be outside the living planet, by luring individuals to act as puppet spies, so as to open the planet's barrier and devour the planet.

His energy comes from the difference between the height of the subspace plane and the regular cosmic space, just like water flowing to a low place, the energy of the conventional cosmic space will continue to flow towards the subspace plane.

This kind of behavior with the help of the laws of the universe seems high-end, but in fact it is a cocoon and self-restraint, not to mention how detached. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to blow up an entire nebula with a slight swing of the stick. ”

Hearing the other party's words, Li Ang couldn't help but squint his eyes, it seems that the latent infiltration ability of the three major galactic empires is indeed amazing, and these news can be dug up.

Moreover, the contempt for Dormammu revealed in the other party's words also made Leon a little surprised.

Even now, without the help of the laws of the universe, he would not dare to say that he would face Dormammu and win the battle.

As if sensing Leon's doubts, Hela's blackened lips smiled miserably, and said faintly, "After bursting the nebula, a gamma-ray burst three hundred light-years away was born, right?"

You might as well go and see if the explosion really existed......"

Li Ang's color changed suddenly, and the shadow of the candle dragon rose behind him, raising his head to the east, looking at the star field in the distance.

He didn't care about the consumption of mana, and tried his best to use the eye of the candle dragon, but he saw that in the distant star field, the gamma-ray storm that should have been wild and raging and wanted to destroy everything had completely disappeared, and even the traces of Dormammu's existence had been erased.

There was no stardust, no light, no heat, no escaped cosmic laws, and that starfield was as dead and silent as the rest of the universe.

Leon took a deep breath, for the first time since his reincarnation, he felt at a loss, and his scalp tingledβ€”even if he had mastered the Time Stone and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he was far from being able to erase an unprecedented gamma-ray burst.

"The emissaries of the three empires, after showing me that dream, claimed that what they were working for was a great being called 'Planet Devouring', which you can also call a Star Devouring ....."

When Hela mentioned the name 'Swallowing Stars', her charred body couldn't help but tremble again, and said with difficulty: "If Dormammu is just a mortal body to steal the secrets of the laws of subspace, he is a despicable and filthy thief, a hermit crab with a shrunken head and tail;

Then the swallowing of stars is the myth of being born great.

He is the oldest god, the most powerful of gods, and mortal beings cannot glimpse his secret wisdom at all, so they can only humbly prostrate themselves on the ground and listen to his will.

The mighty gamma-ray burst was erased at will by the Star Swallower. ”

Li Ang was silent, he had just manipulated the space and downplayed the act of turning Hela into a spinning top, which seemed like a miracle in Thor's eyes,

However, the "star swallowing" that Hella is talking about at the moment, to put it mildly, is much higher than the act of erasing gamma-ray bursts 300 light-years away, compared to just playing tops!

"This... It is the power of 'swallowing stars'. ”

Hela's voice was devoid of emotion, indifferent to the extreme, as if she were stating a very simple fact.

She was right, if this kind of individual life that can eliminate gamma-ray bursts really exists, it is not at all comparable to the three great empires of the galaxy....

Hela whispered, "The three great empires of the galaxy have long known about the existence of Star Swallowing, and they have formed a committee against silicon-based civilizations in the last generation.

The Council is also a covert religious organization embedded in the upper echelons of the ruling class of the three empires, primarily promoting the belief in the Devourer of Planets.

In order to block the "oracle", those committees even blocked the traces of the real existence of the Swallowing Star from the outside world, and only allowed the news to spread among a small group of high-level officials.

It's just that all this time, Star-Swallowing has been wandering around the universe, choosing the right planet to devour. Like the owner of an orchard, picking fruit from his own garden and tasting a few bites - this makes it impossible for the three empires to grasp his whereabouts and contact him.

It wasn't until some time ago that Starswallow reappeared and, in an as-yet-unknown measure, made contact with the three great empires of the galaxy, ordering them to search for a living planet whose "seventy percent of its surface is dotted with blue water".

As for more content, Swallowing Stars did not explain - the thoughts of cosmic-level gods are naturally not something that ordinary beings can speculate. ”

Leon Moran, the living planet here refers to the earth.

I don't know why, the earth is obviously located in the horns of the birds that don't in the third arm of the Milky Way, but the trouble is like a bear smelling honey, one by one.

Obviously, the earthlings just want to have a peaceful birthday for a few days.....

"The three empires that received the God Domain naturally did not dare to slack off, and began to scan and screen the various life planets in the galaxy.

It just so happened that in the middle of the scan, the earth, which has many transcendent life forms, came into the sight of the three empires.

As the observations deepened, the three empires discovered the existence of quantum computers on Earth, which evolved and replicated autonomously. The small religious organization that believed in Star Swallowing immediately thought that it understood the oracle, and with the help of the name of the 'Committee for the Defense of Silicon-based Civilizations', it contacted those mid-level and low-level civilizations to form an alliance to prepare for a large-scale war of extermination against the Earth.

At the very least, the earth should be completely kept in captivity, and when all the dust settles, then go to the star swallowing instructions. ”

At this point, Hela's tone changed slightly, deliberately covering it up, not wanting Leon to hear the schadenfreude in her words.

"No one can understand the wisdom of the Star Swallower, only the three empires that think they know the idea of Star Swallowing.

And while we were talking, they were coming non-stop. ”
