Chapter 489: Twists and turns
Originally, there were not many gods in the universe, and most of them were secretive, although Zhan Liu knew a lot of relevant information, but he rarely appeared in the MCU.
There are indeed a lot of appearances in the manga, but the version and time of each appearance are inconsistent, and it is really difficult to find in this universe now.
Even the information about Asgard in Thor's memory didn't have much information about the gods.
"Otherwise, how about we try to swallow the stars?" Zhan Liu lowered his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly said.
"Swallowing Stars is one of the five gods, and in terms of personality, it is even higher than the gods, and it must be able to meet your needs."
"Swallowing the Stars...... If it's a star swallower, it should be able to replace the corpse of the gods. Of course Tony knows who Star Swallowing is, "However, there are four Star Swallowing Emissaries under Star Swallowing, all of whom are powerful, and I'm afraid there will be a bloody battle." ”
"Then what about fighting...... Natalia moved her hands and feet, her eyes were cold, "Even eternity is going to provoke us, and we still care about what star-swallowing." ”
"Okay, in that case, the goal is tentatively to swallow stars." Everyone agrees and starts to do things officially.
"It's hard to find Star-Swallowing, but Star-Swallowing Emissaries are all over the universe, and it's easy to spot their tracks. We just need to find them first, and then we can follow the vine and find the Swallowing Star. ”
Tony turned around and led the group to his base, repaired for a moment, and then began to search for the Star-Swallowing Emissary in the quantum network.
Because of the previous reason for resisting the annihilation of the Zerg, the Star Swallower Emissary also joined the side of the Alliance Army and was accepted and known by everyone, so this time Tony easily found the most famous one of them, that is, Nova.
Although Star-Swallowing has kept his promise and let Mantis break away from the sequence of Star-Swallowing Emissary, the cosmic power he once obtained has not been taken back because of this, so the current Mantean is still able to use cosmic power like Star-Swallowing Emissary, and he is a powerful superhero who is free from the outside.
But the feelings that Mantis had lost did not recover because of this, but only regained the memories of the past.
In search of lost emotions, Mantis has been doing various superhero jobs in the universe, helping countless people and winning the likes and praises of many people.
It's just that no one knows that she has broken away from the control of the Star-Swallowing and regained her freedom, so she has surpassed Silverslip and become the most famous Star-Swallowing Emissary in the universe.
When they saw the photo of the new star, Thor and Natalia were immediately stunned.
"This is a mantis girl?!"
As a time-traveler from another world, the two and the mantis girl have fought side by side together, and they like the little mantis with a kind and simple personality very much.
What the two of them didn't expect was that in this universe, the Mantis Girl actually ended up becoming a Star Swallowing Emissary!
But after only a short silence, the two put aside their former friendship and reached an agreement.
"Let's make her the first target!"
"After we catch her, we will introduce the situation to her, and with the kindness of Mantis, she will definitely agree to our plan."
Zhan Liu glanced at the two of them and didn't say anything.
He knew very well what the Star Swallower was, that is, a puppet tool man, who had no feelings of his own at all.
Even after Yinhua became a star-swallowing messenger, he could dedicate his most cherished planet to Star-swallowing and eat, so the current mantis girl must no longer be the kind and simple little girl she was at the beginning.
And based on the character of the little praying mantis, maybe she also volunteered to sacrifice herself for a certain planet.
It's useless to say anything now, and when they meet Mantis, they will naturally be clear.
And after seeing the situation of Mantis, I am afraid that they will better understand what the attitude of the five gods towards human beings is, and hate the Star Swallowing and Eternity even more.
After confirming the active area of the nova, everyone left Severn and set off towards the target star field.
Of course, Severn wanted to get involved, but was unanimously rejected by everyone.
His arms can't beat his thighs, his son can't beat his parents, and Saiwen's own strength can't do it, so he has to wait honestly on the earth.
As compensation, his Uncle Tony took a little effort to revive his companion and little lover, and stayed with him on Earth.
If the plan succeeds, the family will have a goodbye day, and if the plan fails, they will have to honestly start the time jump machine and roll back into the future.
With the Infinity Stones in hand, the vast space of the universe is no longer a distance.
Through the space gem, Zhan Liu and the others easily jumped to the territory of the Xi'a Empire, and in the distance, a silver line was cutting through the starry sky and speeding into the distance, which was the target of several people.
Without saying anything, several people accelerated towards Nova and soon came to Nova and blocked her path.
"Hi little mantis, we haven't seen each other in a long time...... Ah no, you may not know me yet, but we'll be friends in the future, good kind of ......"
Waving his arms enthusiastically, Thor walked over to Mantis and muttered incoherently words that puzzled Mantis in his mouth.
Looking at Mantis, who was looking at him indifferently, Thor also realized that the little mantis in front of him was completely different from the one in his memory, so he had to stop, scratch his head in embarrassment, and introduce himself.
"Haha...... Well, we don't recognize ...... yet"
"I am Thor, the god of thunder, the son of Odin, and the crown prince of Asgard...... Well, Asgard is now gone......"
"I know your sister, Hela, the goddess of death, and we fought side by side against the Annihilation Zerg." Mantis spoke suddenly.
"Oh? Is Hela in this world actually a superhero? ”
Thor perked up, and then listened to Mantis continue:
"No, she's a member of the Dark Order, a subordinate of Thanos, who was later killed by the Worm King."
"Well, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Thor deflated.
"You know me? I don't have you in my memory. Mantis said coldly.
"Ah......" Thor paused, deciding to tell the truth, "We are time-travelers from another parallel world, and in that world, we are good friends with you, comrades-in-arms......"
Thor crackled and briefed Mantees on the situation, then cut to the chase.
"We need to defeat the Eternal who controls fate and imprison him, not only for revenge, but also because we don't want the gods to interfere more in the fate of humanity."
"This requires special cage materials, the Annihilator God is too strong, so he has to choose to swallow the stars, I hope you can help us."
"We know you're the Star-Swallower, but ......"
Before Thor could finish his sentence, Mantis interrupted him, "I'm no longer a Star Swallower, and I can't find any trace of Star Swallowing now. ”
"What?" The blow nearly knocked Thor unconscious.
"When I became the Star Swallowing Emissary, it was to defeat the Annihilation Zerg and avenge the destruction of the Nova Empire, I agreed with the Star Swallower in advance, and when the war is over, I will leave the identity of the Nova Emissary."
Looking at the cold-faced Mantis, several people knew that she was not lying.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Just when everyone was discouraged, Mantis suddenly spoke: "If the gods can do it, I know there is a good choice. ”
"I have a friend named Peter Quill, who is now imprisoned by the Celestial Remodelers, and if you can help me rescue him, the body of the Reshapers may be able to meet your needs."
It's really a poor mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
This news came at a very timely time!
"Peterquail? Star-Lord? "This name Zhan Liu is very familiar," imprisoned his ...... Is it his daddy Igo? ”
At that time, Star-Lord was still under Zhan Liu's hands for a few days, and later because of the disappearance of Sovereign Star, Star-Lord was greatly stimulated and decided to rebel, and he didn't have a brain to play with Zhan Liu, and in the end, if it wasn't for his father Igo suddenly appeared, people would have been cold.
At that time, Igo immediately knelt down after being beaten by Zhan Liu, and sacrificed his spaceship, otherwise Zhan Liu would probably have to fly back to Earth in the flesh.
I don't know what happened later, I only know that the god seed that Igo planted on the earth sprouted and blossomed, absorbing the life essence of the god baby in the center of the earth.
Even Zhan Liu himself took the opportunity to steal a lot of heavenly essence and integrate it into himself, so that his life form underwent a qualitative transformation, otherwise with the vitality of ordinary earthlings alone, he would be hung up after burning once, how could he give him a second chance to burn?
"Yes, the reshaper is Iago, Quill and my father. But the reason why he conceived a large number of children was not to reproduce, but to find tools that could withstand his divine power. Speaking of this, Mantis showed a rare hint of mood swings, showing how great the impact of this incident had on her.
Zhan Liu suddenly, "Oh, Igo has evolved into a complete body of a god!" ”
"Then he also has that kind of fully sealed Celestial Armor?"
"Yes, the current reshaper, the whole body is wrapped in a sealed armor." Mantees nodded, looking solemn, "I tried to rescue Quill before, but that armor was so strong that my attacks couldn't penetrate it, and all attempts failed. ”
Hearing that the armor's defensive power was strong, Zhan Liu clapped his hands excitedly, "The stronger the better, if it is too fragile, it will not have an effect on eternity at all." ”
This matter is full of twists and turns, and it is really not easy to find suitable materials for the cage that imprisons eternity!
After a brief discussion, they decided to change the target again and replace it with Igo the Reshaper.
This time the target is easy to find, the reshaper is reshaping the planet everywhere in the universe, sowing life, and has been noticed by a large number of forces.
It's not that there are no forces that have tried the reshapers, but the gap in strength between them is too great, and the reshapers are very indifferent to human life, and all the ships or detection devices that go to test have been destroyed by the reshapers.
Over time, all the forces did not dare to provoke the reshaper anymore, and only retained a certain amount of vigilance and observation, and let him go.
Fortunately, the reshaper has a heavy responsibility, and will not take the initiative to attack other planets, but only do the monotonous and boring work of reshaping the planet and sowing life.
Everyone came to the star field where the Reshaper was located, and watched from afar as the Reshaper was there to reshape the planet.
The planet's shaping process is lackluster, similar to going back in time to reshape the Earth, but at a fraction of the pace.
After all, the Infinity Stones cheat from the level of laws, and the reshaper must abide by the physical rules of the universe and cannot be done in a vacuum.
He first used his celestial ability to adsorb the matter around the universe to the middle, through a large amount of time, to form an initial mass of matter, and then attached a strong gravity to it to form the earth's core, and then urged the earth's core to rotate, and then used the long time to absorb the matter close to the outside world.
After this process, the remodeler's work is basically done, and the rest of the work is left to a long time.
It's a very boring job, but the Celestial Reshapers work tirelessly and patiently.
This hard-working and resentful worker's style is completely inconsistent with the arrogant and arrogant style of Igo back then, which makes a group of people feel a little unable to do it.
However, the reshapers soon dispelled their illusions with their own actions.
Aware of the approach, the Reshaper didn't even hesitate at all, and with a wave of his arm, he killed everyone.
This made everyone clearly realize that no matter how hard he worked in his work, he was also a god, a god who regarded human beings like ants!
In that case, if you are unkind, no wonder I am unjust.
The crowd was no longer polite, and they scattered, each showing their magical powers, and attacked the reshaper.
The few people present were all the most powerful top masters in the universe, and even if they didn't reach the limit of the single universe, they weren't too much behind.
The reshaper was extraordinary, but his two fists were invincible to his four hands, and after blocking a few moves, he was soon hit by several people's heavy punches one after another.
The majestic energy burst out in an instant, generating a massive stream of particles in the void, spraying towards the starry sky in all directions, and the brilliant light lit up the sea of stars, leaving a bright trail and shining brightly.
The reshaper's body was kicked back by everyone's fists and feet, pulling back and forth, bouncing endlessly in the starry sky.
However, the regular armor on his body was really not ordinarily strong, and no matter what method everyone used to bombard, it could not hurt the reshaper in the slightest.
After a long time of indiscriminate bombardment, the four of them glanced at each other, and invariably jumped backwards and jumped out of the battle circle.
Zhan Liu smiled and turned to Tony and said:
"The test is complete, and it is strong enough to meet our needs."
"Tony, the rest is up to you!"
