Chapter 95: Finally Touching the Power Gem

When they arrived at the Void, everyone was more relaxed.

This was the territory of the Tiwan Group, and it was little known. The Nova Corps of Xandar would not come here.

Ronan and Yondu would not find this place for a while.

The Guardians of the Galaxy finally had a place to relax and rest.

Gamora found a secluded place to sit, and Star-Lord followed her to pick up girls.

Rocket, Groot and Drax went to the nearby gambling house, saying they wanted to have some fun. They also asked Kevin to join them, but Kevin had no money in his pocket and did not like gambling, so he rejected their proposal and started wandering around the Void.

‘…￥ # %&,￥ # & # %…’

“?”

While wandering, Kevin seemed to hear something whispering in his ear.

He could not hear it clearly, but he intuitively felt that it seemed to be talking about him.

“Who?”

Kevin stopped and stood in the middle of the street to observe left and right.

People were coming and going around him, and people from different groups were walking by him. Some ignored him, and some gave him strange looks.

But no one seemed to be talking to Kevin.

The words just now seemed to be just Kevin's hallucination.

"Is it an illusion...?"

Although Kevin always felt that when he said "Is it an illusion?" or something similar, it would definitely not be an illusion.

But Kevin really didn't notice anything strange, nor did he notice any danger.

So in the end, we can only believe that this is Kevin's own illusion.

After all, there are so many people here, and everyone is talking. It is not impossible that one of the sentences mentioned a word similar to the name "Kevin".

Although... Kevin didn't seem to mention Kevin's name in the sentence he heard just now...

Shaking his head, Kevin, who really couldn't find anything, continued to wander around, admiring this cyberpunk-styled void.

In fact, putting aside the alien planets and aliens, the style here is really quite cyberpunk, or cyber wasteland style is more appropriate.

There are neon signs with unknown words everywhere, flying vehicles shuttling back and forth, and many aliens whose limbs have been transformed into machines.

There is no sense of high technology at all.

But thinking that the Marvel world is originally a very old comic adaptation, Kevin is not very strange.

The only thing that is strange to him is only one thing.

"I can understand words, but I can't read alien words."

From the beginning of the journey, Kevin can understand all languages ​​and can communicate freely with anyone.

Kevin originally thought that because this was the Marvel Universe, the entire universe was speaking the same universal language, English, so he could hear and speak it.

But later, through Star-Lord, Kevin learned that most aliens would have multifunctional language devices implanted in their throats and ears.

They could naturally understand other people's languages, and could also naturally speak the languages ​​of other races.

So it wasn't that Kevin could understand what they said, but with this high technology, everyone could understand what Kevin said and could communicate with Kevin.

By the way, Kevin also asked Rocket to get him two copies of this multifunctional language implant.

Kevin planned to implant one into his body, and Kevin planned to take the other back to the Black Robe World for research, extract the technology he wanted from it, and use these technologies as the future strategic foundation of the Vought Group.

But there was no problem with communication, but the text could not be recognized in this way.

Kevin is now a complete "illiterate" in the universe, which is in line with his identity as a wanderer with nothing.

After wandering in the void for a while, Kevin felt that it was almost time and went home.

As soon as he returned to the gambling house, he saw someone fighting.

The people fighting were Kevin's acquaintances, Groot the Treeman and Drax the Destroyer.

Kevin watched the two fight with others through the crowd of onlookers.

Because this is a casino, most of them are criminals. They don't care about the rules here, they only care about whether they are happy or not.

So when someone fights, not only no one persuades them, but they cheer loudly and excitedly.

It makes this place look like an underground black boxing scene.

"Kill him", "Just beat him like this", "Stuff your branch into his ass", and other shouts continue.

Seeing that the incident is about to escalate, at the critical moment, Peter Quill and Gamora come to the rescue. The two of them pull Groot and Drax apart respectively, and stop Rocket who is about to attack Drax.

With Star-Lord’s intervention, the excited people finally calmed down.

Kevin listened from the side and understood why Rocket and Groot would fight with Drax.

They all drank a lot of alcohol, Rocket and Drax too.

Drax called Rocket a ‘little monster’ as usual when he was excited.

Then, Rocket, who was drunk, exploded.

He felt that Drax was looking down on him, looking down on him as a ‘monster’ who was transformed by experiments.

What happened next was what everyone saw now, Rocket and Groot fighting Drax.

Fortunately, Star-Lord appeared in time to stop Rocket, otherwise when Rocket opened fire, things would really get out of control.

"It's hard to believe, you were just watching?!"

After Star-Lord persuaded them to stop fighting, he turned around and saw Kevin standing in the crowd watching the show, and couldn't help but ask loudly.

Kevin spread his hands:

"I just got here too, and it's good to let them vent. Otherwise, if you keep your thoughts to yourself, something bad will happen in the future."

"Don't think that you can cover up the fact that you were just standing there watching the show with your high-sounding words!"

Star-Lord didn't believe Kevin's lies.

He had known Kevin for a while, and he could see that Kevin was just a lazy guy who liked to lie down when he had nothing to do.

What he said about letting Rocket and the others vent was all fake, he just felt it was troublesome and didn't want to care.

After this quarrel, Drax left the team.

Drax came for Ronan, and he followed Gamora to see if he could have a chance to kill Ronan.

As a result, when he got here, he not only didn't see Ronan, but was almost killed by Groot and Rocket.

He felt that it was meaningless to stay here, so he left the team.

No one tried to persuade him. After all, Drax was not the same person as them. During the time when they were making a fuss, the Collector finally finished his work.

His maid appeared in front of them and said,

"Miss Gamora, my master ordered me to pick you up. Please follow me."

The red-skinned maid said respectfully and walked in front to lead the way.

………

Under the guidance of the red-skinned maid, they finally met the buyer of the Cosmic Spirit Ball.

The helmsman of the Tiwan Group, the most famous collector in the universe, Tanlia Tiwan.

Tiwan showed his courtesy to Gamora as soon as he came up.

He knew Gamora's identity very well. Even if Gamora seemed to have the intention to break away from Thanos now, Tiwan knew very well that before Thanos openly broke with Gamora, Gamora was still Thanos' favorite daughter.

With Thanos standing behind Gamora, Tiwan had to be respectful to Gamora.

But it was only to Gamora. Facing the other people brought by Gamora, Tiwan showed a lack of interest.

He was only slightly interested in the body of the tree man Groot.

But putting aside the trivial matters, they finally met Tiwan. While listening to him talking about the origin of the Infinity Stones, which was boring to them, they waited for Tiwan to open the Cosmic Spirit Ball.

Kevin looked at the Cosmic Spirit Ball from the side. Seeing the layers of onion-like locks inside the Cosmic Spirit Ball, he finally understood why he couldn't open it.

With so many locks and such a small thing, it would be difficult for Kevin to open it, even if Hulk came, let alone him.

In the movie, Ronan easily opened it, probably because Gamora did not relock it when she took the orb, but just closed it.

After opening the lock, the Guardians of the Galaxy finally asked about what they were most concerned about, which was the reward this time.

They ran across most of the galaxy, even at the cost of being wanted by the Nova Corps, just for the reward of 4 billion.

If Tiwan didn't give it, Rocket would definitely turn this place upside down, not to mention Star-Lord.

"Yes, the reward, I'll give it to you, how do you want to pay?"

Seeing that everyone was not interested in what he said, Tiwan asked rather boringly, and walked to his workbench, ready to pay everyone.

Rocket said without hesitation:

"Of course it's cash!"

"This is a lot of cash, I think it would be better to change it to a card... Karina!!"

Tiwan was talking to Rocket as he went to get the rewards for everyone.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw the red-skinned maid Karina next to the opened cosmic spirit ball, approaching the power gem hanging in the center of the spirit ball.

The purple power gem exuded a seductive light, and the red-skinned maid looked at it with hatred and determination in her eyes.

Hearing Tiwan's scolding, Karina suddenly raised her head and yelled at Tiwan:

"I! I don't want to be your slave anymore!!!"

"No!!!"

Karina ignored Tivan's order and reached out to the power stone without hesitation.

The purple power gem was held in her hand, and purple lines extended along her skin toward her head.

The majestic energy instantly poured into Karina's body. Unable to withstand such huge energy, Karina let out a painful and sharp cry:

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Her body was fragile and could not withstand the infusion of such huge power. The energy escaped flew through Karina's skin and flew around.

The purple energy forms a powerful light bomb, destroying everything around it indiscriminately!

"Damn!!"

Star-Lord reacted immediately when he saw this, and quickly threw Gamora aside to avoid the purple light bullets flying everywhere.

Groot also reacted quickly to protect the raccoon Rocket beside him.

Tiwan was knocked away by the purple energy, and his collection house was invaded by the violent force. The glass shattered and countless collections fell from it.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The red-skinned maid was still screaming. In the end, she could no longer bear the huge power. Her body suddenly exploded, and the violent purple energy swept through the entire cabin in an instant!

Boom! ! !

The purple energy engulfed everything in the Collector's house and also poured out of the Collector's room. From the outside, it looked like a gorgeous purple firework.

It was just that the size of this 'firework' was a bit big.

The explosion lasted for a while before it finally stopped.

When the explosion stopped, the maid's figure was no longer there. Groot had already escaped from the hut with Rocket in his arms. Star-Lord and Gamora secretly poked their heads out from their hiding place and saw a scene that made them stare:

"Kevin! What are you going to do?! No!!!"

In their sight, Kevin approached the power gem hanging in the middle of the spirit ball step by step and tried to touch it.

Seeing this, Star-Lord couldn't help shouting loudly and ran towards the direction of the power gem, trying to persuade Kevin.

But Kevin, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, how could he listen to Star-Lord's words?

Kevin, who had already come to the Power Stone, turned around and said to Star-Lord who was running towards him:

"Hide well, I won't be able to control myself next time."

After he finished speaking, he also placed his hand on the Power Stone.

In an instant, violent purple energy rushed into his body.
