Chapter 41: The Gem of Power
"Then why did you fight Ronan?" Rocket Raccoon asked curiously. lā
"The Kree Empire's ship has attacked me." Elle said succinctly, and in the midst of everyone's unlet vigilance, El suddenly said something that surprised them.
"But I heard that the Cosmic Spirit Orb is in your hands, so I want to see it."
As El's words fell, the atmosphere became tense again, because the current Guardians of the Galaxy had only gathered for the four and a half billion that sold the cosmic spirit ball.
El also knew that his words were a little reckless, but just missed the Mind Gem and the Space Gem, El couldn't wait, he didn't want to be expelled from this world again, the previous experience had already made El heartbroken.
"I can pay!" El said as he looked at the serious atmosphere.
Several golden swirls emerged from behind El, and countless precious stones of gold fell out of them, and they fell more and more, piling up on the ground.
Star-Lord was keenly aware of El's desire, but looking at the gold and gems all over the ground, he could only say helplessly: "Hey, buddy, this is not on Earth, these things are worthless here." If you want diamonds or gold, I can take you to a planet made of all this stuff. ”
Whether it is gold or precious stones, they are just minerals in themselves, because human beings have given them value, they have value, and in the age of the universe, whether it is gems or gold, not to mention everywhere, but they are just ordinary things.
"I think there are still people who know the goods." El despised Star-Lord slightly, but instead looked at Gamora.
At this time, Gamora was picking up a ruby necklace and carefully considering it. "It's a magical creation, I've seen it in Thanos' treasury."
Although Star-Lord is also well-informed in the wandering universe, he is still a little shallow compared to Gamora, who is Thanos' adopted daughter.
"Every coin or gemstone here is worth a fortune." Unlike the money-hungry Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord, Gamora has her opinion.
"I can use my weapon as collateral, I need to see the cosmic spirit orb, I don't need to take it away." El said again...
Star-Lord gritted his teeth as he looked at the magical creations all over the ground.
"No problem." Their actions themselves were for money, and now that there were so many priceless things in front of them, how could Star-Lord not be tempted.
"But it's all mine." Star-Lord said to El.
"If you want." El said indifferently.
Star-Lord's face was excited, and he took out the Cosmic Spirit Orb and walked towards El, but Gamora stopped him.
"You're all looking for this thing, it must be precious, tell us, what is it?" Gamora knew what it contained, but she couldn't figure out what it really was.
"It's a relic of God." El glanced at Gamora. "I'm talking about the remnants of a being similar to the one Thanos loves."
El took the cosmic spirit ball from Star-Lord's hand, and then slowly opened him, which was dangerous, but except for Gamora, the other people present did not know about this, and Gamora was now just indulging in the news that Elle said, she knew who Thanos loved, it was the cosmic god - death!
"The first one!" El's hand gently caressed the cosmic spirit orb, and endless power poured from it, but El completely ignored those powers, and only obtained the most important point of it, the priesthood of the goddess of vengeance.
The whole process was only calm except for the faint golden light on El's hand, but El knew what he had taken, Kalia's recovery had begun, and his strength would grow again.
Slowly closing the cosmic spirit orb, El returned it to Star-Lord, and by this time, Gamora had already woken up from her thoughts, and she watched El's actions in a cold sweat.
"You actually opened it!" Gamora's voice was a little distorted, because she knew how terrible it was.
"Yes, I opened it, but you can't, except for Star-Lord, you'd better not open it, or you'll be left dead end." El said flatly.
And the rocket raccoon asked curiously, "Can only earthlings open it?" After that, the rocket raccoon also looked at the cosmic spirit ball curiously.
"No, ordinary earthlings don't even have the qualifications to get close to it, and Star-Lord was able to get close because of his father's bloodline."
"My father?" Now Star-Lord realizes that El knows a lot of things, such as his father, and Yongdu has never told him about his father. "You know him? I wonder where he is? ”
Star-Lord's tone revealed mixed emotions.
"The price, Star-Lord, your father is a big man, and you're going to have to pay for getting the news." El and Star-Lord didn't know each other well, so he said so.
"What do you want?" Star-Lord is very suspicious of his father, but if the price is too high, he will not be willing to pay, because all he loves is his mother.
"I want to go to the place where Krypton is destroyed." El made a request that was not too expensive, since he had already come to the universe, how could he not collect something.
"That's okay, but I need to warn you not to get too much into the destruction of Krypton, they have broken the taboo." Star-Lord quickly agreed, but the reminder he gave made El feel strange.
"Taboo?" El was suddenly interested, because the civilization of Krypton in the plot was destroyed by a stellar explosion, but in fact, since Superman and a child can escape, Krypton, as an advanced cosmic civilization, cannot be destroyed simply because of a stellar explosion.
Based on the tech tree stolen from Zod's ship, El knew that if it wasn't a prison ship that came to Earth in the first place, but a real Kryptonian battleship, Earth would be completely destroyed. And the original Kryptonians' technological level was not enough to escape a star system, they had a star gate.
"Kryptonians were destroyed by cosmic wanderers because of the taboo of exploring the universe, which is something that all cosmic civilizations know." Gamora explained.
In Gamora's mouth, El's learned about the Cosmic Wanderers, a group of beings who fused themselves with the universe, they forcibly raised themselves to the level of existence that was only half a dimension below the universe, the same level as the cosmic gods, but they did not have the power of the cosmic gods, they had endless knowledge, but they would not easily interfere with the universe.
The cosmic wanderers who are already known are mirror musicians, cryogenic artists, risk solvers and Li Bai Wenming.
