Chapter 103 Heading to Earth
After destroying Thanos, Kevin immediately went with the Guardians of the Galaxy to support the Nova Corps.
With the Reality Stone, the remaining Thanos army didn't even last a second before Kevin eliminated them all.
The battle of Xandar ended with the annihilation of Ronan and Thanos' army under Kevin's ex machina-like support.
During this period, Kevin was also trying to find the "plot characters" on Thanos' side.
Although Nebula was missing, Kevin named and killed the five generals of the Black Order one by one, and each of them provided Kevin with one or two skill points.
A total of eight skill points were provided.
Seven from Ronan and Thanos, plus eight from the five generals of the Black Order, plus the seven accumulated by Kevin before.
Kevin's number of skill points reached an unprecedented 22!
With so many skill points, Kevin had to retreat and distribute them first.
So Kevin did not attend the celebration banquet of the Nova Corps. After the war, Kevin returned to the Milan on the pretext of being tired, and locked himself in his room to allocate skills.
The first and most important thing is of course the physique. Kevin did not hesitate at all and allocated 16 skill points to [Brawler's Body] to upgrade it to level 5.
The level 4 fighter's body is not much different from the physique of the people in his motherland, and the level 5 fighter's body should be comparable to the Asgardians in this world.
With this physique, Kevin will be able to survive in any world even if he does not continue to upgrade.
After all, this is a physique that can survive in the universe.
For example, Hammer God.
From level 4 to level 5, Kevin suffered a pain that almost shattered his body as usual.
However, Kevin experienced such pain when he upgraded [Superhuman Physique] before, and later when he changed his job, he experienced the same pain again.
So now Kevin can bear the pain of upgrading his physique.
He didn't even scream.
The pain came and went quickly. Kevin felt that it didn't take long before his physique was successfully improved, and the level of [Brawler Body] officially reached level 5.
As for the remaining six, Kevin hesitated between [Brawler Combat] and [Deep Sea Immortality].
In the end, he decided to maximize his life-saving ability, and divided three points to upgrade [Deep Sea Immortality] to level 2, and the remaining three points were reserved. When he accumulated some more skill points, he would upgrade [Deep Sea Immortality] to level 3.
As for the ability of this immortal body...
[Deep Sea Immortality: In the ocean, you cannot die completely. When you are fatally injured, if you are in the sea, you will be unconditionally resurrected once, and the cooling time will decrease as the level increases. ]
Simply put, this is a resurrection armor.
And it is a resurrection armor that can be used as soon as the cooling time is up.
The cooling time of the first level [Deep Sea Immortality] is 8760 hours, which is exactly one year on Earth.
The cooldown time of the second-level [Deep Sea Immortality] is 4380 hours, which is half a year.
And the premise of the skill description of "in the ocean" has also changed to "in the ocean or in waters close to the ocean".
According to this rule, after reaching the third level, this time may be halved again, becoming three months, and the above restrictions will be cancelled, and it will become "in the water" to be able to revive.
Kevin thought so, so he decided to save the skill points first, and when the skill points are enough, he will first upgrade the skill to the third level.
At that time, as long as there is water, Kevin will not have to worry about dying.
After all the skill points are completed, Kevin can really feel at ease.
With the fifth-level fighter body and the second-level deep-sea immortal body, even if Kevin has to face the infinite Ultron next, he can at least guarantee his own safety.
After getting the skills, Kevin came out of the room in the Milan.
As a result, when he went out, he saw Star-Lord and others waiting for him outside.
"Oh, Kevin, you finally came out."
Star-Lord, who was standing at the door, came up and said to Kevin:
"The Nova Commander wants to talk to you. If you don't come out, I guess they will come to catch you."
Rocket heard this and joined in:
"Yes, yes, you don't know how many fans you have on Xandar now. They must want to catch you and breed you to give birth to a child as big as the planet."
"...You said it as if it were true. I almost believed it."
Rolling his eyes at the unreliable duo in front of him, Kevin chose to ignore their jokes and asked Star-Lord:
"What exactly did the Nova Commander ask me to do?"
"It seems to be to discuss the gem issue, and maybe give you some bonus or something. I don't know the details. Anyway, it's definitely not about wanted you. Our wanted order has been revoked long ago."
Star-Lord hooked Kevin's shoulder and explained.
After this war, Kevin and others' wanted criminal status was cancelled by the Nova Corps, and they were regarded as heroes by the Nova Corps and Xandar.
At the same time, Star-Lord took this opportunity to establish the "Guardians of the Galaxy", and these people, including Kevin, became the first members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
As for the captain of the Guardians, of course it is Star-Lord.
This is recorded on Xandar, and it has been officially certified and is absolutely true.
Of course, Star-Lord considers himself the captain, and whether Rocket and others admit it is another matter.
Kevin has nothing to say about his identity as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, anyway, it is just an identity.
Compared to this, he is more curious about what the new star commander wants to say to him.
…
"Do you want to join the Nova Corps?"
Then, when Kevin met the Nova Commander-in-Chief, the other party's first words were this.
"......?"
Kevin looked at the Commander-in-Chief in surprise and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious."
The Commander-in-Chief of the Nova Corps, a woman who looked over fifty, smiled and showed goodwill to Kevin:
"We have checked, your identity is unknown, you do not belong to any force, and you have defeated Thanos personally, so as long as you want, I can let you join the Nova Corps and directly have high-level permissions. What do you think? Mr. Kevin."
The Commander-in-Chief's eyes were very sincere.
She seemed to really want Kevin to join the Nova Corps.
But Kevin knew that she was attracted by Kevin's strength and influence at this stage.
Although the Guardians of the Galaxy claimed that they had eliminated Thanos and Ronan.
But those who knew the inside story understood that it was Kevin who really killed these two people.
Or in other words, Kevin was the most important person among them.
If Kevin can be recruited to join the team, it is conceivable that countless people who admire Kevin will follow him to join the Nova Corps.
The power of the Nova Corps will also increase greatly.
Not to mention that Kevin is also the holder of the Reality Gem. With such a positive gem holder, the Nova Corps even dares to challenge the Kree Empire.
This is probably what the commander-in-chief thinks, and it must be said that her idea is very good.
But unfortunately, Kevin doesn't want to join any legion.
"I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief, thank you for your kindness, but I prefer to be a free man."
Kevin politely refused.
Being the vice president of the Vought Group is tiring enough, and Kevin has no interest in joining the Nova Corps.
Faced with Kevin's refusal, the commander-in-chief felt a little regretful, but she did not force Kevin:
"Okay, we respect your decision, but Mr. Kevin, in the future, whenever you want, you can come to our Xandar planet for help. We owe you this."
"Okay, thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
"You're welcome. By the way, there's something I want to give you."
The commander-in-chief of the corps said, handing Kevin a transparent card.
"What is this...?"
"This is all the property we have after we defeated Ronan and Thanos' fleets and estimated the value of these fleets. Although many warships are damaged and the value is not high, these should be enough for you, Mr. Kevin."
"Can I ask how much money is here?"
When Kevin mentioned money, his eyes lit up a little, and he asked expectantly.
The commander-in-chief smiled and replied:
"Not much, probably around 3 billion. We have also prepared your identity, Mr. Kevin. You don't have to sneak into our Xandar anymore."
After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, his expression became serious and he said to Kevin formally:
"Then in the end, on behalf of all members of Xandar and the Nova Corps, I would like to express my gratitude and respect to you again. Thank you for saving us. Thank you very much."
As the commander-in-chief spoke, Kevin nodded blankly and shook hands with the other party.
Apparently, he had not recovered from the 3 billion figure.
After all, that's 3 billion interstellar coins!
When the commander-in-chief said the specific amount of money, Kevin's eyes almost turned into the symbol representing interstellar coins.
Although he made a lot of money in the Vought Group, Kevin already had the confidence to say "I'm not interested in money" and other pretentious words.
But when he really took over a huge sum of money out of thin air, Kevin still felt excited and excited.
And this is not Earth currency, but interstellar currency!
3 billion interstellar coins are enough for him to buy several life planets to play with!
The conversation with the commander-in-chief of the Nova Corps ended happily, and Kevin was a little unable to come back to his senses until he returned to the Milan.
But fortunately, Kevin was not the only one on the Milan.
After finishing the battle of Xandar and breaking away from Yondu, Star-Lord is now preparing to do a big thing.
When Kevin came back, he couldn't wait to say:
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's discuss where we should go next?"
"If possible, can we go to Earth before I leave?"
Kevin silently raised his hand and said the next place to go.
Star-Lord: "Ah?"
Rocket: "Wait, you want to leave the team?"
Drax: "Why Earth? Is there any evil there?"
Groot: "I am Groot?"
Everyone was surprised by Kevin's decision.
Star-Lord Rocket was wondering why Kevin wanted to leave the team, while Drax was wondering why Kevin wanted to go to Earth.
As for Groot... Kevin couldn't understand what he said.
Gamora was silent. She hadn't gotten over the special feeling of killing her father, and she was silent all the time.
Facing everyone's questions, Kevin said helplessly:
"To the people of this world, I am a wanderer and not suitable to join certain teams. As for why I want to go to Earth... I just want to go to Earth to meet a few people."
The reason for leaving the team is very simple. Kevin is not from this world. He will eventually return to the Black Robe World. He is not suitable to join the Guardians of the Galaxy or the Avengers.
He is more suitable to be a lone traveler, a witness, or even like an observer, just watching the development of the story.
As for the reason for going to Earth, it is even simpler.
All the stories of the Marvel Universe take place on Earth, which is the easiest place to produce skill points.
Kevin wants to go there to get enough skill points, and then return to the Black Robe World.
And...
He did not forget the observer's chatter in his ear, and he knew that the biggest threat in the universe still existed on Earth.
Kevin has already regarded the Marvel Universe as his own backyard, and he doesn't want an existence that no one can deal with to appear in his garden.
