Chapter 262: Listen to the Collector Tell Stories of the Past
"Shhh I knew that the Infinity Stones could fuse together, but this was the first time I'd heard that the original gem was originally six pieces split from a single treasure! Ian gasped, thinking that he had really made money today, and that not everyone could know about secrets like this.
The collector didn't care about Ian's interruption with drooping eyes, and said directly, "That can only mean that your god king doesn't trust you very much." ”
"God-king? You're an Asgardian! Gomorrah was shocked and looked Ian up and down meaningfully.
Ian looked down, well, the zipper was closed, "What kind of eyes are you?" What happened to the Asgardians? ”
"Hey, didn't you say you slept with an Asgardian girl? Why doesn't this guy have horns on his head like you said! The little raccoon pointed at Ian and laughed at the human thug.
"I'm Groot!" Treants give +1 for mockery.
Ian frowned slightly, and looked at the little gangster, this should be Star-Lord, what do you say? Sure enough, it's a tease!
Star-Lord laughed dryly, "Hello, everyone calls me Star-Lord, well, that girl must have lied to me, she's not from Asgard!" ”
Ian nodded in understanding, "That's how it should be, the girl from Asgard doesn't like you like a scumbag!" ”
Star-Lord: "......"
Well, due to the little raccoon's interruption, Ian temporarily threw Gomorrah's strange eyes to the back of his mind, only to hear the collector add, "Because the role of that treasure is so special and it has unparalleled power, only noble creatures can hold it." Although the treasure is broken, it cannot be made to disappear because it is born of heaven and earth, and in the long years, countless careerists have tried to gather it, but without exception, they have all failed! ”
"Are gems hard to find? I don't think we had a hard time stealing it! The little raccoon scratched the fluff on his chin and snorted, and Ian's eyes lit up like that.
The Collector smiled mockingly. "No, there are many people with vast powers in the universe, even if the gems are far apart, there is always some induction, as long as you are strong enough, you can naturally find them. There are many people in history who have gathered gems, but it is very difficult to use them to achieve their goals, and it will be a great war that will involve the entire universe! ”
"Enemies of the entire universe? Who would be so boring and crooked? Star-Lord said in disbelief.
"Risk always comes with returns, and the higher the risk, the better the returns. Once you win, the Infinity Stones will make you the king of the entire universe! ”
"Wait a minute, you said you want to win the battle first and then admit that you are the king? Are you saying the order backwards? Ian asked, a little confused.
The Collector shook his head. "The king I am talking about is not the king who conquers the universe by force in the traditional sense, but the king who is recognized by the universe of heaven and earth. In terms of bloodline, innate is more noble than all living beings! ”
“……”
There was an eerie silence around them, not shocked by the news, but not understood at all! What is a king recognized by the whole universe? How the universe acknowledges that you are king!
Just when everyone was confused, Ian suddenly thought of a mythical treasure, and his heart beat very angrily, if the infinity stones were really the treasure he thought of after fusion, then Loki was really playing with his life!
"Mind telling us what the original name of that treasure was?" Ian asked, a little wryly. His heart was complicated, he really didn't want that thing.
The collector looked at Ian but shook his head regretfully, "I don't know. ”
"Don't know? You're a collector, alas, and you're notoriously erudite in the universe. How could it not be known? Star-Lord shouted hysterically, he had been aroused by the other party's curiosity.
The collector snorted coldly and said to Ian, "I didn't see the treasure shattered with my own eyes, and with my strength at the time, I didn't even have the qualifications to know the name of the treasure. The things I just told you all come from the remnants of some of the old gods. It's just that these ancient gods seem to be very taboo about this treasure, and they rarely mention it in any literature! ”
"Cut! Having said all this, in the end, there is nothing dry except for the appetite to hang! Star-Lord said with some dissatisfaction.
"I don't care how awesome it is. Just wondering how much it's worth right now? "The little raccoon is clearly more interested in tickets.
"Leave them alone, you go on." Gomorrah directly ignored the two friends, and any powerful force in her heart had to be pursued, because it was very likely to get rid of Thanos' pursuit.
The collector ignored the two unpursuers, and continued, "Stripping away that special function, a single Infinity Stone has great power!" The six Infinity Stones represent Time, Space, Soul, Power, Reality, and Mind Stones. They are the supreme embodiment of the laws of the universe, and as long as you get any of them, you can get unimaginable benefits from them! And you, a gem that glows with purple light, is a gem of power! ”
"Power Gems? Could it be that it will make us infinitely stronger? "Star-Lord's idea is still so ridiculous.
The Collector rolled his eyes, "The word strength doesn't just refer to physical energy, it's a collective term for all energy. Its function is energy amplification and energy infinity. In other words, if you're good at magic, once you get the gems, the magic will be infinite, and the attacks you release will be multiplied! With a wave of his hand, the image in mid-air changed again, and a giant wearing strange armor as tall as a skyscraper appeared, only to see him holding a scepter inlaid with purple Infinity Stones and stomping to the ground. Immediately after that, a purple wave of qi began to churn and roar, and the entire planet trembled, and the purple energy filled the surface of the planet almost instantly, and a civilization was destroyed so easily!
"Gollum" Star-Lord swallowed a mouthful of saliva with his mouth wide open and said in disbelief, "Well, I'm scared!" ”
Ian's eyes flashed, and what surprised him was not the Infinity Stone, but the giant with the scepter. Those who are familiar with the manga know that the giants are the so-called Celestial Group! In the comics, the setting of the Celestial Group is simply a bunch of bugs, with no cause and effect at all, and it is essentially the existence of a pit! I originally thought that in this real world, there would be no guy like that kind of setting, but who knew that he saw it clearly here!
"See, that's what the Power Gem is capable of." The collector pointed at the giant with some excitement and said, "He just destroyed this planet in just an instant with the blessing of the Power Gem!" ”
Ian asked with a cold face, "What kind of creature is that giant?" ”
As Ian asked, the group remembered that they hadn't heard of this huge creature either. The collector pursed his lips but didn't care: "There are not many such giants in the entire universe, they claim to be the Universe Celestial God Group, and they are all a group of ancient gods who have lived for a long, long time. They are strong, strong and boundless, strong and ignorant of all living beings. They claim to be the rulers of the universe, domineering over all living beings. What you've just seen is actually a record of the Celestials destroying a race that disobeyed their orders. At that time, they sent this record to the leaders of all intelligent life in the universe to demonstrate their authority! ”
"Huh? Then why haven't I heard of it, if there is really such a powerful existence, Thanos will not be so arrogant! Hearing this, Gomorrah suddenly asked in confusion.
The collector smiled and said, "Listen to me, it is precisely because of this incident that their contempt for living beings has finally angered a person who should not be provoked!" And that man single-handedly wiped out all the gods with just one sword, and there was not even scum left! ”
“……”
The friends were confused again, and Ian was keenly aware of the key word, "Wait!" You just said 'human', the one who completely destroyed the gods was a human! And it's a human with a sword! ”
When others heard this, they thought it was ridiculous, how could humans be so strong! But what's even more ridiculous is that the collector actually nodded! (To be continued......)
PS: Speaking of which, I'm talking about Infinity Stones in an almost spoiler way, so you guys should have guessed what it is!
