Chapter 701 1 Designated Universe
One billion!
This is not a small number.
The value of the cosmic spirit ball is four billion, and the value of these two knives is equivalent to a quarter.
Since collectors are willing to pay one billion to buy them, it means that the value of those two knives must be much higher than this price, but even so, for sellers like them, one billion is tempting enough.
Gudong... Gudong...
Gamora and Star-Lord swallowed hard and turned their fiery eyes to the rocket, eagerly hoping that it would agree to the collector.
But the Rocket, who used to regard wealth as his life, now, under the huge temptation of a billion dollars, surprisingly did not directly agree to the collector, but instead showed a worried and anxious look.
"Hey Rocket, what are you still hesitating about?"
Star-Lord was stamping his feet anxiously on the side, eager to agree to the collector's conditions for it: "That's a full billion in cash, isn't it just two stolen broken knives, wouldn't it be just right to give it to him!"
"But...can I ask, is there anything special about these two knives?" Rocket swallowed, resisting the desire to agree, and asked why the collector was willing to pay one billion. Reasons to buy them.
"Because, they are special."
The collector squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "I have lived for millions of years, but I have never seen any weapon that can be forged with the soul, and it also...contains a heart-stopping power. A terrifying force.”
"No...no way."
Rocket hesitated again and again, but still rejected the collector: "The knife... I will return it."
It's not because the collector's bid was too low, but because the origins of the two knives still make him feel uneasy.
Especially that... mysterious man.
Although the purpose is unclear at the moment, it seems that he deliberately created all this and put the knife into its hand.
But precisely because it could not understand what the man meant, it was even more afraid to hand over the knife easily. Years of experience and intuition warned him not to sell these two knives.
The collector narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous coldness, and looked at the rocket without saying a word.
"Levan, let's talk about business."
Sensing that the collector's eyes were a bit dangerous, Gamora stood up and interrupted the two of them, saying, "We traveled through half of the galaxy and finally found the Cosmic Spirit Ball. It should be the product you want, right?"
"Very good, then... let me see what you brought." The collector looked away and smiled.
The value and status of the cosmic spirit ball are obviously higher than those two knives.
The collector did not dwell on the matter anymore, and instead obtained the metal ball from Star-Lord. He came to his workbench, fixed it with two mechanical arms, slowly rotated it, and opened it carefully.
Taking advantage of the gap between opening the cosmic spirit ball, the collector gave everyone some science knowledge about the origin of the infinite stones.
Star-Lord looked at one of the screens. An armored giant bigger than a mountain range, holding a long staff inlaid with power gems, destroyed a living planet with just one blow.
Everyone gasped. It turned out that the cosmic spirit ball that Ronan snatched was such a terrifying thing!
Only the adopted daughter of the Mad Titan Thanos, Gamora's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, because she had known about the Infinity Stones for a long time, and this was the real reason why Thanos sent her and Nebula to assist Ronan the Accuser.
Part of the adoptive father's crazy plan was to collect the six scattered Infinity Stones.
Thinking of the people on her home planet who had been wiped out, Gamora clenched her fists subconsciously. If Thanos got the six Infinity Stones, then all life in the universe would suffer the same disaster as her home planet.
It should be a good choice to store power gems here with collectors, right?
Gamora stared at the gem that glowed with strange purple light. In terms of the collector's life-saving and life-saving methods, as long as he did not commit suicide, Thanos would not be able to find him even if he looked for Potian.
Just as Star-Lord and others were immersed in the horror of the Infinite Stone.
The alien maid seemed to be attracted, and slowly walked towards the purple gem that contained the power of destruction.
"Karina, stay away from that gem!"
The collector realized something was wrong at this time and immediately warned the maid.
"No, Tanya Levan, I don't want to be your slave anymore!" The maid looked at the collector angrily, then rushed over resolutely and grabbed the gem that contained the power of destruction.
The others wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The moment the maid held the gem, the gem containing the power of destruction seemed to have found an outlet. It poured its power crazily into the maid's body, and purple rays of light flew out like meteors.
Everything that touches the purple light seems to collapse and annihilate.
Facing such a terrifying scene, everyone's scalp suddenly became numb, and they ran and crawled to avoid being afraid of being touched by the purple light.
"Ahhhhh..."
The maid let out a shrill scream, and her skin disappeared inch by inch as if it was melting.
It was obvious that she, a little maid, could not control the power gem at all, let alone withstand the backlash. Finally, after a scream, her whole body was dissolved in the purple light, and not even a trace of dust was left.
boom--!
The power gem was suspended in mid-air and erupted with terrifying purple light in an instant.
I saw that purple light occupying the entire collection room, eventually shrinking to a point in the middle and then suddenly spreading out, forming a circular purple light wave. It contains a terrifying energy that can destroy the world and destroy everything it touches. Completely annihilated!
And the unlucky ones who bear the brunt are these people!
The scene of the maid's tragic death just now was clearly visible to them. The skin, bones, and internal organs seemed to be melting, and were disintegrated bit by bit by the purple light. In the end, not even ashes were left. It was the worst way to die.
Several people ran wildly, wishing their parents would have two more legs.
"No, it's too late!"
Star-Lord's pupils suddenly shrank. The purple light was so fast that they had no way to avoid it.
At this critical moment, Rocket saw the knife held by Groot, and suddenly remembered that the man had said before that if his life was in danger, he could shout "Justice will prevail" three times, and there might be an unexpected surprise.
Surprise... give it a try, what if it works?
Rocket gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, not caring much, and shouted: "Justice will win! Justice will win! Justice will win!"
As a result, after it finished shouting, several other people looked at it like it was a fool.
"Is your brain flooded?" Star-Lord dragged them to run wildly while yelling: "We are almost turning into gray. What's the use of shouting that justice will prevail here? Are you expecting superheroes to come? Save us?"
"I am...Groot!" Groot expressed his contempt for the first time.
"I knew I shouldn't hang out with you, it's so stupid!" Gamora cursed breathlessly.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have yelled...
Rocket's face showed despair as the purple light had caught up with them.
But at this moment!
One of the knives on Groot's back suddenly trembled slightly, making an ethereal and melodious sound.
Buzz——
As the sword trembled slightly, a figure slowly emerged.
The moment the man appeared, time and space seemed to slow down.
The halo of destruction that was as fast as light stopped in place.
Everyone seemed to have been cast by a restraining spell. In addition to their normal thinking, even breathing stopped completely. Things were broken by the power of destruction, the flying dust, and all the light were frozen. this moment.
The man raised his hand and pointed lightly.
A slender finger went straight forward and hit the purple halo of destruction.
Bo!
To everyone's surprise, there was no earth-shattering noise.
Just listen to a small sound that is as gentle as a bubble bursting, and then the energy halo, glowing with rich purple light and full of destructive power, collapses and disappears inch by inch like earth falling apart.
With just one finger, he suppressed the power gem!
When the collector noticed this scene, his pupils suddenly trembled violently like an earthquake, and tons of turmoil arose in his heart.
Rocket's whole body was cold, and there was only one thought in his mind.
That means...he is dead!
