Chapter 313 James' plan
The Collector's "Shell" ship is extremely powerful.
It took James five days on earth to ride this spaceship with a milky white shell and inlaid with gem-like crystals, and arrived at the "land of nothingness" that evolved from the head of the god, which is almost separated by the entire galaxy by nearly billions. Light-years of burning galaxies.
Even in the era of space travel with perfect wormhole jumping and curvature engine technology, it would take more than a month for most first-class spaceships to reach this remote and desolate extragalactic galaxy in terms of earth time.
After the shell spacecraft broke through the burning atmosphere of the planet, the red dead hills and mountains immediately filled James' sight. The ground below was covered with red and yellowish mountains or deserts, and there was not even a trace of a suspected lake or river. Not to mention a vast ocean like Earth.
This planet named Corbin must be extremely arid and water-scarce, or there must be creatures and intelligent civilizations with more peculiar physiological structures to survive.
The clue to the infinite rough stone provided by Tanya Tiwan is a mysterious figure called "Legend Speaker".
It is said that the "Legend Speaker" is omniscient, but his origin is unknown. Even the "cosmic veteran" like Collector, who has survived for an unknown number of years, has never seen his true face.
But the news about this mysterious person was learned from Beta Ray Bill, the previous generation of Saka star gladiator champions in Tiwan's collection, "Horse-faced Thor".
The planet Corbin is the home planet of the horse-faced Thor. Before he left his hometown, he saw a "prophet"-like traveler. He seemed to have insight into everyone's past and future, even the deepest part of their hearts. and often tell the story of the six infinity stones as a nursery rhyme to the children of Corbin.
"What do you think of this person who preaches the secret of the Infinity Stone and claims that he will stay here and wait for his destiny to come."
Standing in front of the magnificent and changing spinner cabin of the spaceship, James looked at this strange and barren planet. He glanced sideways at Beta Bill who was walking beside him. His eyes fell on the dull brass-colored short-handled hammer in his hand, and then added :
"Sorry, Odin's death made your hammer powerless"
"Horse-faced Thor" is extremely tall, over two meters tall and muscular, and his body is two circles larger than James.
The yellow-brown skin has a solid texture, a bit like old tree bark. His face is long and narrow, and his mouth protrudes forward. In James' opinion, his head is not so much like a "horse head", but more like a Chinese "dragon head". .
Beta Bill looked down at the "Storm Hammer" in his hand, shook his head with a gentle expression, hung it on his waist and looked at the homeland of his home planet that had been away for decades, his somewhat terrifying pale eyes were full of tenderness.
"Don't mind Mr. Logan, the power of 'Thor' doesn't belong to me, thanks to Lord Odin Poulsen for casting this storm hammer for me and attaching it with divine power, I should fight for Asgard .”
"Swinging a hammer at me now counts as fighting for Odin. Why, don't you want to try? I thought 'anger' would be one of the conditions for being recognized by Asgard's artifact."
James said quite teasingly. After getting along with each other occasionally on the spaceship these days, he gradually got to know Beta Bill's "weird" temperament.
This Corbin star with a ferocious appearance and physique, but an extremely gentle heart abides by some unique self-rules.
He met Thor Odinson when he was wandering in the universe many years ago, and the two had some conflicts and eventually fought.
But the strange thing is that Bill was able to lift Thor's hammer "Mjolnir" freely, and took the hammer and defeated Thor.
After Odin descended through the Rainbow Bridge, because he was recognized by Thor's Hammer and appreciated by Odin for his bravery, he created a "Storm Hammer" with rune magic for him alone. Same power as Thor.
Later, for some reason, the "horse face" was lost on Gao Tianzun's Saka star, and after being enslaved by him as a gladiator, he became a competitive champion after many battles, and then was sold to collectors. It takes more than ten years to pass the first test in the cylinder.
Until he inadvertently chatted with Tiwan's slave who was in charge of cleaning the floor, and told the story of the "Legend Speaker". In addition, because Odin's soul returned to the Hall of Valor, the divine power and magic left behind had no support and lost the power of thunder. In the eyes of collectors, the "value" is greatly reduced.
Only then was he promised to return Beta Bill to freedom, and ordered him to accompany James to Planet Corbin to find the unknown Infinity Stone.
In all the humiliating and displaced experiences, the "Horse-faced Thor" never fought once, even when he was imprisoned by collectors, he never resisted in the slightest.
"Mr. Logan just fought with Lord Odin, not the root cause of his return to the Hall of Valor. If I could be there, I would definitely fight to the death with Mr. Logan and the people who attacked Asgard, but at this moment Revenge cannot restore the established reality."
Beta Bill's long and narrow mouth opened and closed indifferently. After a moment of trance, he suddenly recalled James' question, and continued with a bit of apology:
"I'm sorry Mr. Logan, I was distracted. I think the 'Legend Speaker' did this to practice the path his destiny should take."
"What about you, because you accept the arrangement of fate, and you accept everything that happens to you?"
James looked at Beta Bill suspiciously. At this moment, the spaceship landed on the land of Corbin Star. When he looked outside, he found that the buildings of the cities on this planet seemed to have been hollowed out countless times. Large and small hills and mountains are built on the basis of natural terrain conditions.
To put it simply, it is a variety of more exquisite and magnificent "cave dwellings". Looking down from a high altitude, there are almost no traces of man-made buildings, which are excellent topographical cover-ups.
"In the eyes of the Corbin people, just shaking their fists angrily, resisting all the forces that oppress the top of their heads is not the only manifestation of fighting against fate. We are never afraid of fighting, but we also follow the rules that should be observed under different identities to complete this well. A road of destiny."
The calm and indifferent face of the "Horse-faced Thor" finally gave rise to a bit of excited anticipation. Except for the storm hammer without the thunder power on his waist, he had nothing on his body, and he had nothing to bring. He hurried out of the spaceship. Run to a low tan "soil bag".
James took the black cloak handed over by the servant of the collector who was in charge of driving the spaceship, put it on and walked towards Beta Bill.
"I am willing to fight to the death for my survival, and I am also willing to suffer all the injustices after becoming a loser. I even try my best to fulfill the role of a loser. No wonder the collector let him bring me here without worrying about what would happen if it was just a promise. question."
To say it is ugly is a bit slavish.
A large group of small "horse faces" ran out of the hilly building, shouting at Beta Bill with their long faces.
This planet is extremely dry and hot, and there is very little vegetation that can be seen. The wind and sand seem to never stop, and the vision is all distorted by the scorching air.
James couldn't understand the language of the Corbin aliens, and he was fiddling with a coin-sized language converter clipped on the light armor. To him, this alien language was like the purring of a beast from the throat. With a variety of frustrated rhythms and intonations.
"You are finally back, Brother Beta, these are the newborn brothers and sisters after you left, ranging from twenty-three to sixty-seven, of which thirty-six and fifty-eight were snatched outside, and twenty-eight And forty-five people died of illness, and the remaining names are Arika, Longta, and Zeelan."
Standing behind Beta Bill, James was dumbfounded as he listened to a leader who was about as tall as the horse-faced Thor, but too skinny, leading a large group of adult or juvenile "pony faces" to introduce Bill .
Although he had already heard collectors tell about some of the characteristics of the Corbins when he was in the "Noneland", James was still horrified by this kind of alien race with a strong body, a long lifespan, and great fertility.
No wonder they are known as an excellent variety of labor in the universe. Interstellar mercenaries and hunters often come to Corbin to capture humans and sell them to slave owners who need them.
Therefore, when the horse-faced Thor lost the power of the Odin rune, Tanya Tiwan lost interest in collecting him.
Beta Bill rubbed cheeks with dozens of younger brothers and sisters to say hello one by one, and then walked out of the mound at the end. A female Corbin with a broad frame but a little short hugged tightly, and the two were long and narrow. Rubbing his cheeks repeatedly, he couldn't stop speaking in a language that sounded like a snort.
"Mr. Logan, I have already asked my mother. The last time they heard about the 'Legend Speaker' was two years ago, in the mountain city of Saluka not far from here. Go there when the sun reappears after Meteor Day, and Corbin is extremely cold at night, and people will go underground to escape the cold, and that's when our city is the busiest."
James nodded indifferently. Even if he was in a hurry, he wouldn't care about the few days. He should reunite this man who had been away from his hometown for decades with his relatives for a few days.
Led by Bill, James walked into the mound-like building and followed the corridors to a giant underground city.
Not only is the market bustling inside, but all kinds of underground vegetation that can grow without sunlight are particularly lush. The streams and underground rivers are abundant in water. This underground world is full of domesticated livestock and a large number of grass leaves that Corbin people eat daily.
The food here does not seem to require the trouble of planting crops such as wheat and rice. It is almost edible.
It’s no wonder that this seemingly barren planet can support a race like the Corbins who can live and give birth.
James walked along with Bill, observing the city that still stays in the background of the era of human livestock planting in the field of tools and daily life technology.
It can also be seen that some vendors use electronic and energy equipment with a high level of technology, but the general low productivity of the Corbins is in great contrast to this planet that has already been in contact with the advanced civilization of the universe.
He even suspects that the current state of the indigenous people on this planet is intentional by some advanced interstellar civilizations, suppressing them to the level of slave planets that can grab human resources, and has also shaped this race for thousands of years. character and ideas.
At night, James rejected the invitation of "Horse Face", walked alone on the corridor leading to the floor of the planet, sat on the top of the hill and felt the extremely cold night after the stars set here.
He lit a cigar and lay on his back looking at the blue-purple sky.
The "commission" that James took over seems to be too simple.
Get an infinite rough stone for the collector and bring it back to him, let Tiwan solve the problem of the eternal fire in his body, and then return to Earth.
But in James' heart, he has no intention of handing over to Tiwan, whether it is the rough stone or the eternal fire.
Although every struggle against this flame will consume his life and speed up the time for James to be burned as a "firewood", he can feel a slight connection with the eternal flame, not only Taking out the flames is the way to go.
Looking up at the foreign starry sky, a pair of black pupils followed the most frequent meteors in the burning galaxy across the sky.
Suddenly, a strange light gradually grew larger, and James' pupils shrunk until the tiny spot of light turned into a ring-shaped giant spaceship in gold and red, whizzing down the cover.
The inner circle of the ring-shaped spaceship is running rapidly, releasing energy to supply the movement of the spaceship, while the outer circle began to continuously fly out of short shuttle-shaped small airships, as if they had already identified the target, they swarmed towards the park on which James was parked. Shell-shaped spaceship.
"Fack!"
Before James rushed to the spaceship, the hovering focus fire attack blew up the collector's favorite car. After being suppressed by the eternal fire, James lost the ability to fly at will.
He stood in front of the spaceship that had turned into a raging fire, stabbed out the sharp claws of both fists indifferently, stared at the small airship roaring in the sky, and spat out the little purple cigar that was left.
"Unified order to the legion, don't rush to clean up unnecessary, let it go for a while, and find the clues that adults need as the top priority."
味啦
A hooked and sickle-shaped spear engraved with obscure lines drew sparks on the ground, and the figure in the black-gold hood commanded hoarsely to the herald. His pale cheeks were invisible in the hood.
A black shadow giant holding a huge ax growled and twisted his neck, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the hooded man's plan.
"The ritual of killing half of the life on the planet can be done slowly, Black Dwarf, getting that stone is the best way to please Lord Thanos."
