Chapter 870: Strength, Soul
Kane felt that it was actually good to be able to use a series of operations to fool Odin and his family.
Even if it took the same amount of power to make the entire Asgardian kneel and call Daddy, he would choose this instead of coercion.
In addition to the fact that it is boring to tear up with the Asgardians in the Ragnarok stage, the main thing is that he has no way to torture Odin's soul.
And in his eyes, the most valuable thing in the whole of Asgard is undoubtedly Odin's memory.
He showed a small movie to Odin's family during the banquet, so that they could watch the future time of the original historical line, which naturally wanted to be reciprocated, depending on whether Odin was knowledgeable, and if the answer was no, he also had a way to get it back.
After all, as the two sides talked, Odin focused on finding out what he was, his intentions, and his future chances, while he focused on Odin's understanding of the World Tree system.
In the end, the result he got was that Odin didn't know much about the mechanics of the World Tree, he only vaguely knew how to use it, but it was only the basics. Clearly, there is a problem with the transfer of technology.
While Kane secretly ridiculed the powerhouses of this universe for 'only knowing what it is, not knowing why', mainly relying on the good pretense ratio of the fetal cast, he also gradually let go of his caution when he first came into contact.
If you can't play the world tree system, then Odin is not enough, even at its peak, Kane has the confidence to fight with it.
What he was in awe of at the beginning was that Odin played jade burning, and destroyed the Nine Realms through the world tree system, which was basically calculated according to the total amount of magic power, the total amount of life, and the number of intelligent lives in the destroyed world.
Like the earth, although it is a micro-magic environment (it is likely to have been siphoned off by Asgard through the World Tree system), there are too many intelligent life, and the earth has been sacrificed, and that power is a transcendent blow that is more terrible than the solar bombardment of the natural system, Kane estimates that he will have to kneel, not to mention that there are eight other worlds.
Although the memory information told him that when Odin turned into a starlight, he did not tell the next generation such shocking secrets. But Kane still didn't dare to gamble. After all, Odin's state at that time was very detached, and he didn't necessarily know it, but he might rather bring this forbidden technique that could destroy the Nine Realms into the grave than be buried with people from the other Eight Realms.
From a certain point of view, the second half of Odin's life is actually a journey of atonement, after all, he bowed his head for the creatures of the other eight realms, and created too many tragedies of family destruction and death.
It seems that he thinks too much, and he has spent a lot of trouble and a lot of effort for this.
But he could recognize it. He has always been vigilant, often applying the concept of conspiracy theories to his opponents, thinking of them as insidious and powerful as the worst.
The advantage of this is that it is difficult to be yin, and the disadvantage is that there is a large probability of appearing in such an oolong drama.
simply made a wrong move, he thinks that such a result is better than underestimating the opponent and being taken away by the opponent.
Odin is really a good person, and he quickly reciprocated, not only agreeing to borrow Heimdall, but also following his question, telling many little-known secrets, to some extent, this can be regarded as selling the powerhouse of this universe.
He also concluded some information from this. It's really because of Marvel's 199999, which is a bit different from the Marvel main universe (No. 616), not only is it weakened across the board, but many strong people simply disappear, and he doesn't know if it's just nothing, or it's in some places, ready to suddenly jump out at a certain time and scare everyone.
Knowing these secrets, Kane's hanging heart was put down, and the heart that was put down was suspended again.
It's really because of the Marvel Universe, there are too many cattle.
The five gods of creation can basically be confirmed to be non-existent.
Of course, it could also be that they are not active enough. Anyway, Odin hadn't interacted with it, and he hadn't heard of it.
He felt that this was good news, after all, the Marvel Multiverse was the farmland of the five gods of creation, and black eagles like him who were stealing from outsiders would most likely be targeted once they were discovered.
Without the five gods of creation, he felt that the last person who might scare him was the observer clan.
These old guys can tolerate Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones and killing half of the universe with snapping their fingers, but they may not tolerate him, because he is an outsider, and his interference prevents observers from collecting data on the normal evolution of this universe.
However, Odin told him that he had indeed beaten the Celestials back then, and it made him feel pain again.
When he first came to this universe, some unsolved mysteries that made him care about were not only how the longevity of the collector was achieved, whether there was a goddess of death behind Thanos, but also some of them, including whether the Celestial Group existed.
The basis for this question is ignorance, that is, in the brain of a god.
The history of the development of the land of ignorance, the chapter 1 of the silver guard is also slightly introduced, the flesh and blood brain of this god, etc., are all valuable raw materials in the black stone, and the Diwan Group (the collector is the big boss) organizes criminals to run to carry out mining-style operations, and then just like some hollowed-out meteorites develop into interstellar transit points and repair stations, the land of ignorance has also become a place of prosperity.
The head of the Celestial Gods proves the existence of the Celestial Group, at least once existed. So now, how did you die? Withdrew? Where is it?
This time, Odin gave him an answer to a certain extent.
Speaking of Asgardians, represented by the royal family, it can be said that they are experts in slaughtering giants.
Frost Giants, Flame Giants, Titan Giants, and a Celestial Giant are no problem.
Why do you have a bitter enmity with the giants? It's not that the Asgardians think, but that the universe was desolate back then, and it was this kind of giant who was born to be awesome.
If the Asgardians want to build a mountain and set up a banner, they have to use these giants as stepping stones, which is such a difficulty in clearing the wasteland, and what is the use of bullying ants, it is not recognized.
This is actually the reason why the collector Tanya Devan has a lot of respect for the people of Asgard. Di Wan has lived for a long time, and he witnessed how the people of Asgar slaughtered giants and achieved the prestige of Asgard, you are gods, I am an immortal, and I am a god, and I have made a name for myself and achieved hegemony, and then the three empires rose, knowing that Asgard had declined, and no one dared to wave.
"Therefore, if the gods do not come out, it is the environment that does not allow it. ”
"Yes, so you can understand it. ”
Kane thoroughly understood.
At the beginning of the universe, material energy was relatively concentrated, just like the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods when the earth had a high oxygen content, allowing giant organisms to exist, and dragonflies could grow a meter long.
Later, as it continued to spread, the material energy became thinner and thinner, and the powerful but high-cost gods born in the early days gradually became unable to play.
Some of them evolved, like collectors, observers, and some of them didn't, like the Celestials, so they were eliminated.
So more than 500,000 years ago, it was true that Odin scolded the Celestial Gods, but just like Thanos and his gang later attacked Asgard, one was at his peak, and the other was weakened, and the result seemed to be how powerful the victor was.
As for the whereabouts of the Celestials, Odin did not know, and he recommended Kane to find the Collector.
Kane also felt that this recommendation was very reliable, and that the collector could take the first place and take his people to take the lead in occupying the head of the god and excavating and exploiting it, and he would not believe it if there was no story here.
Kane spent a few days in Asgard, during which he was nothing more than a tour, eating and drinking, and if he had to get anything serious, it would be a matter of getting more planetary information and coordinates about this universe from Odin and Heimdall.
By the time Kara travels the globe with her sisters on Earth, spreading the turmoil of Kuroleaf and Beauty to the world, Kane has already reached Sundar.
Sundar is the capital of the Nova Empire, a rising civilization known for its stylistic diversity and inclusive policies.
If the Nova Empire is the Americans of the early 20th century, then the old Kree Empire is a bit like the Germans of the same era, more rigid, conservative, and stubborn in comparison, and its radicals are even more unhappy with the Nova Empire.
For example, the accuser Ronan, he is very representative, and some of the people represented by him not only treat the Skrulls like Jews, but also treat the pacifist Cree like they treat the Weimar Republic.
As Luo Nan commented: "My government is not ashamed. ”
This is said in response to the signing of a peace treaty between the Cree Empire and the Nova Empire, the rise of the Nova Empire inevitably caused friction with the old Cree Empire due to interests, Luo Nan's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all died in the protracted war between the two sides.
At the same time, Luo Nan also commented that the compatible culture pursued by the Sandal people and the Nova Empire was a disease.
After arriving at Sundar and observing it for a while, Kane felt that he could understand Ronan to a certain extent. There were some situations that did make him feel very uncomfortable as well.
It is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is interracial love, especially the kind that has to show affection in public, if you can tolerate a beautiful dog creature standing with a human to gnaw there, then what about a maggot with many tentacles?
But it was indeed a sapient being, and it did remind Kane of the multiracial integration of the United States, but it was obviously much more exaggerated.
The other is a parody of traditional culture, even desecration. Some cultural activities that were originally very affectionate and ceremonial for a specific race, such as the Spring Festival, such as weddings, were turned out to be a matchmaking party, which was humiliating in Kane's view, but in Shandal, many parties did not think it, but felt that it was a subversion of tradition and breaking the rules, which was very interesting.
Therefore, for people who have a long history and are proud of it, this kind of taboo-free play is really superficial, and even insulting, but people say, we play our own, can we recognize, it's about you?
The problem arises, in some countries or regions, where the social atmosphere and laws are more severe, it is possible to reply: You are already suspected of insulting others and hurting other people's national feelings by playing like this, and this is your own business with celestial bodies, but it hinders the view and normal social order, so you are not allowed to go to the streets in full light.
And some countries or regions, such as Shandal, are very tolerant of this, and it is okay to play like this, and it is not considered a sin. If you say that it is similar to the formal ceremony in your hometown, and there is a suspicion of insult and blasphemy, then you can file a lawsuit, and if it is proved that the other party is unintentional, just by chance, or just a joke, then at most you will apologize and it will be over.
Some people, for this kind of treatment, may be able to admit that Kane basically can't bear it, in Kane's case, if this kind of thing is serious, it's like someone enlarging his mother's photo to make a mask, and then putting it on Ji, doing something on a large scale, if he doesn't let the other party die tragically in the most painful way, he will feel ashamed of the power he has.
Luckily, there are no earthlings on Sundar. So in terms of customs, Kane's taboos will not be touched. This is the luck of the Sandar Star, and even the Nova Empire, otherwise Kane would not have been able to keep them completely wiped out in the long river of history before Luo Nan 'healed' this world or the empire.
But correspondingly, although the Nova Empire has advanced technology, civilization and nature are perfectly integrated, and everywhere is a tourist holy place level, and there are no scenic corners, Kane doesn't like it here at all, and feels that civilization itself exudes an unbearable stench that makes him unbearable, and it is a big dirt pit.
As a result, the means used to achieve the goal are also tougher, first find a guy who looks like a local expert, and directly use the evil god cell worm to snatch it, get its memory, and borrow its identity.
Then make an appointment with a person with a higher social status and take it away again.
Through this person, contact the existence with top-level information access, or take away.
Replacing these three people, he has the eyes and ears of the bottom, middle, and upper echelons of the empire, and they will continue to live their lives according to their own life trajectories, but will focus more on career development than in the past, and strive to become the best in their respective fields, so that Kane can serve him again when he needs him.
This time, Kane got the information he wanted.
The location of two planets was determined, one was the abandoned planet Morag, home to the Power Gem, and the other was the desolate planet Womir, home to the Soul Gem.
After that, he left Sandal without any hesitation.
If there were no accidents, he would never have visited this place again in his lifetime.
The original historical line has been destroyed, and Kane doesn't think it's a safe thing to sit and wait, so if he can do it himself, he might as well take a trip.
Morag was artificially abandoned, but the humanoid intelligent creatures at that time did not walk decently, the surface of the earth was torn apart in many places, and the magnetic poles and atmosphere were so badly destroyed that the climate was too bad.
There is basically no vegetation, and the high-radiation, high-pollution rocks that should be underground are jagged and bare, the water is like a geyser that is sprayed up hundreds of meters by the chaotic force of the ground from time to time, the dark clouds in the sky are like crazy horses galloping wildly, and the wind and showers are always there, as if they want to wash everything away, but only to make everything worse.
Kane doesn't have much of an idea here.
There are not many planets in the universe that are suitable for life, but they are not as few as earthlings think.
Of course, for a latecomer civilization, when it enters the interstellar era, what it often sees is that it is already a land with a master, and after all, it is necessary to set up a flagpole to get a piece of the cake and rise peacefully.
Where is the specific cosmic spirit ball, Kane does not have accurate coordinates, and some are just some picture data, although there are not many features for reference, but it is enough.
Soon, he had his eye on a local flying creature, with the general form of a frigate bird, but much uglier, capable of flying and riding waves to catch creatures that had been accidentally sprayed high into the air by geysers.
Kane parasitized the strange birds with the evil god cell worm, made them leap to the top of the food chain, and then assigned them to work, so that they have gained stronger flight ability and endurance, and their intelligence has reached the level of trained hounds, and they search for targets that match the concept around the world.
Eight days slipped away unconsciously, and after eliminating a few plausible targets, Kane finally found the right place and got the Cosmic Spirit Orb.
By the way, he also analyzed the double-layer energy shield technology that stores the spirit ball. The harvest is not bad, there are some tips worth learning, if it weren't for the particularity of the cosmic spirit orb, a rough acquisition like the original history Star-Lord would only destroy the item by the protective shield.
Without the need for special equipment, Kane was able to open a multi-level cosmic spirit ball with his divine thoughts.
The blue-purple power gem was beautiful, Kane held it in his hand, and it also opened the qualification with full spirit.
Without any power leaking, Kane devoured it completely, including the transcendent laws it represented.
After thinking about it for three seconds, Kane finally generated another pseudo-gem, and the power of this gem was enough to snap his fingers, and if it was used alone, it could be played for a long, long time with the energy throughput efficiency of those known superheroes.
Putting the pseudo-gem back into the cosmic orb, and putting the cosmic orb back into the restraint, Kane left. There are also thousands of monster birds on this planet that are parasitized by his evil god cell worm, they are powerful and long-lived, they do not reproduce, they will continue to explore, telling him interesting things, including someone coming to fetch gems.
The next stop is directly to Wommel.
This planet is indeed very remote, and if he didn't have the time and space gem, I am afraid that it would take a long time for the frightened team to escort the Skrulls to find a new home.
The original history Thanos also came over when there were space gems. Gamora knew the location but never went, an important reason was that it was too far away.
The storage place of the soul gem is quite recognizable, and the organic combination of the sand sea and the barren sea forms a flat terrace-like low hilly plain, as far as the eye can see. And the mountain with its grand ceremonial gate stands out as Mount Kilimanjaro on the great plains of Africa.
The sky was thick with dark clouds, like a continuous mountain, as if it would never be changed. The edge of the sky is lit up with an ominous blood-colored glow, and on the spiral mountain road, the cold wind is blowing, and the broken snow is flying like grass wool, and the cast-iron craggy mountain stones are set against the background, depicting a bleak and desolate scenery.
Kane was at the bottom of the mountain one moment, and appeared in front of the door of the ceremony the next moment, unlike when Thanos came in the original history, there was still a passage, he didn't have it, there was no waste, as if he was between being and not being, he could exist anywhere and could not exist.
The red skull, who was in tattered clothes and learning the style of death, floated over in a panic, looking at Kane, but he couldn't speak.
He is cursed with soul gems and can name everyone who comes here.
This is because the soul gem has a certain connection with the souls of trillions of beings in this universe.
However, Kane does not belong to this universe, and the Soul Gem cannot know his name.
"I don't need to introduce myself, I don't have to tell me about my past, I know who you are, Red Skull, and I know your past and how you got to this place. I can even tell you something you don't know. Do you know why this place is like a heavenly gate, because the soul gem is the entrance to a small universe as idyllic and beautiful. It's the real door, and what you're seeing now is just the door frame. ”
"This, this ......" Red Skull didn't know what to say, and his instincts told him that what Kane said should be the truth.
At this time, Kane said again: "The soul gem has a certain self-awareness, but the rules it sets, its so-called tests, to some extent, are nothing more than the mercy of the tsundere. It means that if you do what I say and make me satisfied, you will be able to use my power, and then it will be a kind of contempt, a kind of giving, not a real gain, let alone surrender. ”
"Then I don't need any of this, what I want is erasure, and from now on, there will be no soul gems in this universe. ”
As he spoke, Kane clenched his fists, and purple light surged out from between his fists, past, present, future, this magnificent giant door of all moments, uh... The door frames all collapsed at the same time in the purple light, turning into powder, and dissipating in the wind in the form of flying ash sparks.
In the sky, a huge light poured down through the whirlpool of dark clouds that opened through the hole, and a long channel of golden light appeared at the end of the cliff, organically connecting with the cliff, and at the end of it was a brilliant and magnificent starry sky.
The door to the miniature universe opened, for the first and last time.
At the heart of the grandiose, the magnificence, the surging energy of the red skull, which kept retreating, or was affected and trembled unconsciously, and couldn't help but want to kneel, Kane stretched out his hand forward.
In the void, the invisible power, like a giant hand pulling a ribbon, directly cut off the light bridge channel, and re-kneaded the unfolded magnificent starry sky together.
The light dissipated, and the grandeur of everything disappeared like a dream bubble, but in the air, the orange-gold soul gem slowly floated in and fell into Kane's hands.
'Hum!' golden light spilled out of his clenched hand, swirling along his arm, and in a few moments it was completely gone.
The red skull felt loosened on his body, and inexplicably, he knew that the soul curse had been lifted!
Soul gems can steal, manipulate, and modify souls, even the dead cannot escape.
Kane looked back at the Red Skull and smiled, "Your job isn't done, it's not over until someone takes the gem." ”
As he spoke, Kane had another soul gem in his hand, and it floated in front of the broken altar without a door frame, hanging in the air in front of the cliff, as if it were real and as if it were just an illusion.
"The rules are still the same. The power of the curse in you has not diminished, and you no longer remember about me. ”
Kane, who has mastered the soul gem, can be said to be a real golden mouth, and it is a prophecy that if it really involves the soul, basically whatever he says, it is what it is.
Of course, the more the content to be reversed is contrary to the original, the greater the consumption, and the stronger and firmer the target, the greater the consumption.
The red skull doesn't need to consume much, he has long been dormant, he is already a slave, and now it is not a resale, it is still in the service of the power of the soul gem, but the soul gem that originally had its own consciousness is now completely taken away by another consciousness.
Four of the six gems have been obtained, and Kane can't help but want to fight the idea of the real gem again.
Asgard now does not know where the aether particles were sealed in the first place.
But if you really want to find it, it's not that hard.
There are two ways to do this.
First, the aether particle, as an artifact of the Dark Elves, was originally teleported away by the Rainbow Gate, and Kane clearly remembered that its storage point happened to be pressed on the unique Dao Mark of the Rainbow Gate (that is, the erosion marks that can be burned on the ground every time).
Therefore, using the rainbow gate, it is most likely possible to pass it back, and even if Heimdall can't do it, it's just a matter of technology.
Second, Odin's father, Pol, led the crowd to fight the dark elves, which was a very famous battle, and there are many relevant records, which are enough to constitute coordinate information. In other words, he only needs to go to the decisive battlefield of Svathänfheim, use the wreckage of the starship full of dark elves as the coordinates, and turn back time, and he can go to the decisive moment, and the aether particles will be in hand.
Kane thought about it for a while, and then directly chose the second one.
Svathefheim, Kane hung in the air, looking around.
To him the feeling that this is a wasteland after a super nuclear war is really not a problem at all.
What he liked was not the charred sandy land and the wreckage of all kinds of natural and unnatural things that seemed to have been smoked and disposed of, but the flying clouds in the sky.
Not a whole patch of low dark clouds, but a small patch of dark clouds, at least three thousand meters or more, like a flock of migratory birds, obscuring the sky and the sun, speeding forward.
Because of this, the sunlight pours down from these dark clouds, changing from moment to moment, creating a dynamic halo on the earth, the effect is similar to that of the Great Barrier Reef or the Maldives region of the Earth, where the sunlight shines through the crystal clear waters and forms a halo of scales on the ocean floor.
The ruins of the black-gray sand sea without a drop of water have the beauty of rippling light waves like the underwater world, this beauty is very strange, like the aesthetics of violence, this is the beauty of barrenness, not bleak at all.
Kane didn't have much effort, and found the battlefield of the decisive battle.
Easily recognizable, littered with the wreckage of a huge starship.
This starship, which stands up like a big nail, is very recognizable, and the material is also very good, eroded over hundreds of thousands of years, they are still recognizable, and even the surface can reflect light.
Looking at these wreckage, Kane was a little disdainful of 'spicy chicken shreds', when Malekith did not hesitate to sacrifice these starships and use them as bombs, it seemed ruthless and decisive, but Kane thought it was stupid.
As long as there are people, take advantage of the dark elves, take advantage of the deep space of the universe as a shelter, and get rid of the pursuit is not a problem at all. Then the enemy is clear and I am dark, as long as the strategy is right, Asgard will be difficult to sleep and eat due to the presence and deterrence of the dark elves, causing serious attrition.
Some people will say that the dark elves are powered by aether particles, and if they lose the power of aether, they have no power source and have to fall into a deep sleep.
Kane wants to say that people are alive, and the dark elves didn't get the reality gem at the beginning, and they didn't create weapons like aether particles, so it's time to develop and develop.
Why is it that the present is not even as good as the past?
Even if the old system is abandoned and all energy sources are concentrated on aether particles, it is possible to use the inventory of multiple starships to feed a small group of people to be active.
It's an interstellar civilization, take a little time, even if you steal it, you can build a fusion-level power source, and even the positive and antimatter annihilation energy used by the first-class civilization in this era is not impossible, knowing that the matter will fail, and smashing the last bit of capital to listen to it, isn't it stupid?
Is there a lot of dark elves? When it comes to Thor 2, it's just a starship, plus some cutter-like fighters, that is, Asgard, which has the same small population and has declined to the extreme, can fight more hotly, if it is a head-on war with the humans of the earth, the fight to the death will not retreat, and being killed by the fighter is the only end. To put it mildly, the warlords in the turbulent regions of Africa are also on a much larger scale, and they are nothing more than inferior in weapons.
How many years later, how many years later, to still dream of plunging the entire universe into darkness is really a toad yawning and a big sigh!
Kane thinks that with this kind of IQ commander, there is nothing wrong with calling Spicy Chicken Shredded.
