Chapter 186: Rising Star Queen - Adora
"Welcome, distinguished guest. First of all, I have to apologize. Queen Adora is currently holding an important military meeting and is unable to come and greet you in person for the time being."
"Don't be so polite. We are disturbing you by coming here without your permission."
Levi was in a very good mood having just received the Power Stone, and the Nova Corps were indeed very polite.
Even though they were still hundreds of thousands of miles away, a group of rising stars took the initiative to come forward to greet and escort them, led by four rising star centurions.
Unless Odin comes in person, even if Thor comes, it would definitely be considered enough face.
The centurion, who looked to be about thirty years old, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Thank you very much for your understanding. I am Richard, the Centurion of the Nova Corps. If you have any needs on Xandar, please let me know. I will do my best to satisfy you. This is also the wish of Queen Adora."
Hearing this special name, Levi smiled slightly: "Then thank you for your help. I am Levi from the courtyard."
"Richard, are you from Xandar?"
Richard subconsciously straightened his chest: "Yes, Lord Levi, I am proud of it."
Levi blinked his eyes, confirming that the other party was not lying. Well, this was another deviation of the universe.
In almost all parallel universes, Nova Richard was born on Earth.
When he was a high school student, he encountered a seriously injured and dying rising star falling to the earth. After the rising star died, the helmet randomly selected Richard as the successor.
This origin story is not exactly the same as that of DC's Green Lantern - Hal Jordan, but it is at least 80% to 90% similar.
Then he went into the universe, saved the Nova Corps, rebuilt Xandar, and saved the universe.
He even once took the Heart of the Universe into his body, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is the Nova Corps itself.
At the same time, because he is an Earthling, he has fought side by side with the Avengers many times to deal with some evil bosses.
If the Richard in front of him was a Xandarian, he would obviously not have so many brilliant achievements in the future.
But one thing in common is that, unless it is a dark version of the parallel universe, Richard in almost all parallel universes can be regarded as a very reliable teammate who is committed to fighting against all kinds of evil.
Moreover, he is brave and fearless. As long as he is determined and necessary, he is willing to risk his life no matter what kind of enemy is ahead.
Coupled with his identity as a rising star centurion, Levi felt that he was destined to become a very useful tool man.
As they chatted, the spaceship moved forward and soon landed on the planet Xandar.
Skye, Daisy and others were all very excited because as the spacecraft landed, all kinds of strange aliens began to appear wherever they could see.
Although some of them look exactly like humans on Earth and should be from Xandar, there are more of them that completely fit their understanding of aliens.
There are so many creatures, including bull heads, horse heads, pig heads, or creatures with tentacles and pincers.
At the same time, these aliens also brought with them many pets of even more bizarre appearances, which really opened their eyes.
After leading everyone to land, Richard saluted again: "Welcome to Xandar, Lord Levi. What are your plans next?"
Levi glanced at the excited girls behind him and said, "My friends are very interested in Xandar. Could you please ask Maya and Glenn to be their guides and take them on a sightseeing trip?"
As he said this, Levi threw the 50,000 credit points provided by Loki to Skye.
Janet is a wealthy lady and a company owner, Daisy's life is also quite comfortable and she never has to worry about food and drink, and Colleen comes from a gang and has basically no concept of money.
If we give them credit points, they might be squandered in just a few minutes.
Only Skye has had a hard life since childhood. She is the most thrifty and will not spend money carelessly.
As for the bionic bird, ever since the two new stars showed up, the female agent has been feeling unwell and is now filled with despair, helplessness and self-doubt.
Moreover, she is nominally a security captain, so it is okay for her to help carry bags, but it is not her turn to buy things.
Richard nodded readily: "Of course, no problem at all!"
With a wave of his hand, he sent another twenty new stars to follow.
Even though these guests are not in any danger of life on Xandar, if they don't do this, how can they show the Nova Corps' importance to their guests?
Skye and the others cheered immediately. Going shopping on an alien planet? This was something they had never thought about before, but now it was about to happen. It was impossible for them not to be excited!
When they saw these strange aliens, they were all very curious about what kind of alien souvenirs they could buy next!
But while cheering, except for Daisy who was a little heartless, Skye and Colleen couldn't help but start thinking, what had they done to deserve Levi to worry so much?
Not to mention their combat potential, Levi can fly and fight in space without any obstacles. Even if they practice for another hundred years, they can't help Levi much.
After thinking about it, there seems to be only one possibility.
They were not completely ignorant of the relationship between Yali, Justine, Daisy and Levi.
But Levi is so fickle that even if they are willing to make the effort, it is probably impossible for them to be together in the end.
Not to mention that Levi had previously shown an interest in the Nova Queen, and they weren't stupid enough to think they were comparable to each other.
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface they were very happy. After greeting Levi one by one, they went shopping under the leadership of Maya and Glenn.
Even Sif was no exception. When she was hanging out with Thor, she was always surrounded by men. When she went out, they either drank, ate meat, fought, or fooled around with other women. There was no option of shopping at all.
So even though she had been to Xandar several times before, this was her first time to go shopping.
Richard was making a special application to Parliament, and he noticed Levi's 50,000 credit points.
This number is indeed not small for ordinary people. In the black market, hiring a third-rate criminal to kill someone only costs a few thousand dollars.
But for this distinguished guest, it is not much, so perhaps the Legion can do him a favor.
To his delight, he received a response in just two seconds and the parliament agreed to his proposal.
He immediately smiled and said, "Lord Levi, the Nova Corps values our friendship with you very much. The expenses you and your friends will spend on Xandar will be paid for by the Council. Please don't hesitate."
Levi found it a bit interesting. Even if Thor himself was here, there was no need for the Nova Corps to be so polite, right?
Although Odin is powerful, he basically only plays within the Nine Realms and has been confined to Asgard in recent years. Logically speaking, there is no need for the Nova Corps to reach this level.
And except for Richard, the other rising stars present all thought they were secretly peeking at the Meow Hammer on his waist, more than once.
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. The Nova Corps must have encountered some difficulties or powerful enemies, so they need my help, right?
Too lazy to beat around the bush, he immediately said with a smile: "Thank you very much, but I don't like to owe favors to others. Do you know if the Nova Corps has any difficult enemies to deal with?"
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and shook the Meow Hammer, and pure and powerful lightning began to flash on it.
With the blessing of the power gem, he felt that his lightning could easily destroy the planet beneath his feet.
And almost every minute and every second, his mastery of the Power Stone was slowly and steadily improving, which made his strength in all aspects continue to rise.
The Power Stone can be regarded as the total energy source among the Infinity Stones. He felt that if he gave it to Galactus, the other party would never lack energy again.
However, Uncle Tun still feels hungry, because there is a powerful existence called "Talisman" sealed in his body that can destroy the entire universe. In order to maintain the seal, not only energy is needed, but also a large number of souls.
Richard hesitated. In fact, as a Nova Centurion, he was already qualified to access many secrets of the Nova Corps.
For example, the reason why the Queen instructed him to show special respect to Levi in front of him was because the Nova Corps needed Odin's power.
That's right, it's Odin, not Thor or Levi.
Because according to the calculations of the Heart of the Universe and the Queen's estimation, even if Thor came in person, he would probably be completely unable to solve the problems that the Legion currently needs to face, as the enemy is extraordinarily powerful.
But just like Maya and Glenn before him, he was also unable to resist, and even unable to detect, the emotional manipulation from Levi.
Well, in addition to his curiosity and expectations about Levi, he was also worried, which further confirmed Levi's guess.
Even Levi read directly about the current predicament he and the Nova Corps were facing, and it had to be said that it was indeed an extraordinary problem.
Richard took a deep breath and said, "The Queen received news yesterday that a former emissary of the Devourer of Planets, the Fallen One, had been found. The Queen wants to capture him and make him atone for his past sins."
Levi's face immediately became serious: "The first official messenger of the Devourer of Planets, the Fallen One?"
The World Devourer, also known as Uncle Devourer, once had many messengers, and he asked them to help him find suitable planets for food.
In many parallel universes, Deadpool, She-Hulk, Iron Man, Ghost Rider, and the Hulk, etc., have all been messengers of Tunnel, and among all the messengers, the most famous may be Silver Glider.
Among these messengers, Silver Glider is not the strongest. He is basically positioned to maintain the third place and strive for the second place.
Uncle Tun’s first experiment was a guy called Tyrant. In Levi’s opinion, he could basically be understood as an enhanced version of Black Dwarf among the Obsidian Five.
Even with the cosmic energy bestowed by Uncle Tun, he could probably only destroy ordinary asteroids with all his efforts, making him the weakest among all Uncle Tun's messengers.
The Fallen is the first official messenger of Galactus. His real name has long been unknown. The only thing that is certain is that he was given the ability to control dark matter by Uncle Galactus. He is said to be able to bind the halo of galaxies and is the solvent of galaxies.
He does not have any of the weaknesses of ordinary life and can survive by absorbing dark matter.
Then, similar to Uncle Tun, he also has the ability to devour planets, as well as an unrealistic ambition: he wants to eat Uncle Tun.
Although with his strength he can basically not pose a threat to Uncle Tun, not to mention that there are basically other messengers around Uncle Tun.
Every time after being defeated by Uncle Tun, he would eat frantically to repair his injuries, replenish energy, etc.
His food is not just hamburgers or Coke, he can eat planets and he can also eat people.
Another thing that is different is that the other messengers often chose to betray Uncle Tun because they could not bear to act as Uncle Tun's executioner and harm innocent planets and the people on them.
Only the Fallen were imprisoned by Galactus himself and refused to be recognized as messengers because they were too cruel, bloodthirsty, and murderous.
Even Uncle Tun, who eats planets as candy beans every day, thinks he is too extreme and takes measures personally. It can be imagined how excessive his many behaviors are.
Anyway, what Levi knew was that compared to massacres, the Fallen preferred the many acts of torture before the massacre.
Although after being banished, Tun regained most of his power, making the Corrupted the second weakest of all Tun's messengers and former messengers, only slightly stronger than the Tyrant, he is still a cosmic-level being with the ability to explode stars.
This made Levi somewhat excited. He had just obtained the Power Stone, and a suitable sandbag happened to be delivered to his door!
As for copying the abilities of the Fallen, it is basically impossible. The Fallen possess a series of negative traits such as arrogance, madness, cruelty and stupidity.
Lian Uncle Tun was caught and released, released and caught again, and he was dealt with at least a dozen times. In the end, he had to give up completely and exile him. The fallen one was already beyond help.
Even the threat of death would not make him admit that Levi was a friend.
Oh, by the way, one more thing, Uncle Tun used to find food by himself at first, but he encountered many setbacks when he was on Earth.
Besieged by Odin, Zeus and other gods, and beaten by the Trinity Vishanti summoned by Ancient One
After failing several times, he thought of creating a messenger to help him and stayed away from the earth. The idea of creating a messenger was not originally created by Tun Shu. In the sixth universe, Tun Shu, who was not yet one of the five gods, was once a messenger of a powerful being called Black Winter. He later copied the idea.
When Uncle Tun was hungry and confused, he sometimes couldn't tell the directions, and his memory might have seriously deteriorated. If he continued as normal, he would probably have to go to Earth again before long.
But now Gu Yi wants to die every day, Odin's life is coming to an end, and even the Avengers have not been formed on Earth yet. I don’t know who can stop Uncle Thun.
If it were in other parallel universes, this task would most likely fall on the Fantastic Four, but unfortunately they do not exist in this universe.
Levi felt that unless he could train Thor well and find Captain Marvel who had disappeared, if the big guys behind the scenes did not take action, the Eastern . would most likely have to step in.
Although Richard was a little surprised that Levi also knew this name, he still nodded very seriously: "Yes, it's him."
"We have clear intelligence showing that three months ago, he was seriously injured after a battle with Stardust. In order to repair his injuries, he devoured a planet and 350 million intelligent humanoids on it. This is just one of the blood debts he has committed."
"Now that we have found his trace, we must take action."
"It's just that recently a general of the Skrulls was pursued by Ronan, the Supreme Accuser of the Kree Empire, and the two sides fought two battles."
"As a result, a large number of space refugees were born in several nearby star systems, and many pirates rushed in like space sharks after hearing the news."
"In order to rescue refugees and eliminate pirates, the Legion is currently seriously short of manpower. Besides, ordinary Nova cannot pose a threat to the Fallen."
As long as the Fallen wants, he can enter superluminal flight. Even in the universe, simple superluminal flight is considered very fast.
Facing such an enemy, even if the entire Nova Corps except the Queen were tied together, there would be no way to defeat them.
Levi's expression became more serious and more excited.
Stardust is recognized as the most powerful among Uncle Tun's messengers. She comes from a special clan of light.
Her race has existed for countless years, but there are only a dozen or so people left. The reward for her extremely weak reproductive ability is that every single one of them is incredibly strong.
Her body is composed entirely of atoms and pure energy that can remain independent. She has no concept of lifespan at all. If she wants, her body can be dispersed into pure energy again and reunited according to her own wishes.
Galactus is the only survivor of the last Big Bang, and Stardust is half of it.
Her body was shattered into countless atoms by the explosion, but eventually the atoms that made up her body reunited and brought the information of the previous universe to the present.
She was dead, but not dead.
Of course, this is just the original setting. If the plot requires it, other ancient gods may pop out from the corners of the universe at any time, or some beings may obtain the power or relics of the ancient gods.
In short, as survivors of the previous universe, Stardust believes that she and Uncle Tun have the same past, which makes her fall in love with Uncle Tun in the end.
Galactus' food is all planets with strong vitality. Almost all of Galactus' former messengers would deliberately delay time at this point to rescue the people on those pitiful planets to prevent Galactus from causing more casualties. Only Stardust and the Fallen are different.
The Fallen is due to his brutal and bloodthirsty character, he can't wait to see more lower creatures die.
Because of this love, Stardust is the most active and serious in finding food for Galactus.
Unfortunately, Uncle Tun probably has no concept of love, and Xingchen has never dared to confess to Uncle Tun, so for now she is just secretly in love with him, although it is the kind of secret love that other Uncle Tun's messengers and former messengers are aware of.
In terms of specific combat power, Stardust is said to be able to unleash the energy of tens of millions of exploding stars.
Although no one has seen it with their own eyes, it is quite easy for her to destroy stars or galaxies, create black holes, etc.
With her fighting power, even if Ancient One and Odin came, she would definitely be beaten up if she didn't cheat. If she was stubborn enough, it was not impossible for her to die on the spot.
But she is a woman, so maybe she will be affected by her own charisma!
And another thing is that under normal circumstances, Stardust can kill the Fallen with just a wave of her hand, and based on the abnormal relationship between her and Uncle Tun, she will definitely be very happy to do this.
But the Fallen One not only dared to fight Stardust, but he also survived afterwards, which means that he must have obtained new power or treasures from some channels.
Then after I kill him, is it possible that his treasure will also become mine?
All in all, if we can really kill the Fallen, there will definitely be a lot of benefits!
Levi immediately said generously: "In this case, I am willing to lend a helping hand to the Nova Corps and help destroy the evil of the Fallen. I wonder what plans the Corps originally had for him?"
Richard was immediately delighted: "Thank you very much for your help. I will report this matter to the Queen immediately. As for the Legion's plan, it happens to be the focus of the military meeting that the Queen is convening."
"No need to report, I'm already here!"
With a clear female voice, a young woman with long burgundy hair and a very hot body fell from the sky.
Unlike all the other novae, she did not wear a helmet, but instead had a golden belt with a red octagonal star painted on it around her waist.
At the same time, her whole body was covered with a layer of seemingly thin, cloud-like energy mist, but Levi knew very well that even a planetary explosion would hardly cause much damage to her, let alone a nuclear bomb.
As the nominal boss of the Nova Corps, she certainly has privileges, and the Heart of the Universe allocates her the most power.
However, unless the survival of the planet comes to a critical moment, it is basically impossible for her to take action personally.
Behind her were even more rising stars. It looked like they had just finished a meeting and came directly to welcome Levi.
Levi smiled slightly, "Hello, Queen Adora, your beauty is even greater than the rumors say."
Whether it was her face or her figure, the Adora in front of him was his favorite.
Adora glanced at the Meowth Hammer on Levi's waist aimlessly, and the smile on her face became more sincere: "Welcome, Your Highness Levi."
Levi raised an eyebrow. Your Highness, this special word is not to be used casually. Adora must have misunderstood something.
But that's true, no matter how much he emphasizes that he is Thor's friend, Meowth Hammer is indeed hanging around his waist.
Given Queen Adora's identity and status, it is certainly possible that she knows the conditions for lifting the Meowth Hammer.
Coupled with the strength he had demonstrated before, it was natural for him to win the other party's respect.
Levi did not correct or explain. With his current strength, if he really wanted to be a prince in Asgard, Odin would most likely welcome him with open arms.
With the Power Stone in hand, he is absolutely qualified for this status and title no matter which race he is.
"I heard about the Fallen, and I want to do my part. I wonder what the Queen's original plan was?"
Adora hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and pointed out a point of bright starlight, covering an area of thousands of square meters and blocking all outside perception of this place, which showed how much she valued this.
Then she replied very seriously: "We do have a plan. I wonder how much your Highness knows about Flame Emperor and Skywalker, two of Galactus' former envoys?"
Levi understood immediately: "The Queen is talking about the two envoys from Xandar?"
That’s right, Flame King and Skywalker are both from Xandar, and Flame King was once a centurion of the Nova Corps.
Once, when Uncle Tun had no available messenger, he grabbed a passing Xandar battleship and forcibly captured Skywalker inside and transformed him into a messenger.
After learning about this, Flame Emperor voluntarily became another walker of Uncle Tun in order to save his good friend Skywalker.
Afterwards, the two of them found the right opportunity and defected together without hesitation.
Uncle Tun neither hunted them down nor chose to take back the power bestowed upon the two former messengers.
This means that the two of them got the cosmic energy for free from Uncle Tun, and from being only elite Xandar people, they suddenly became one of the most powerful beings in the entire universe.
On the one hand, that little bit of power was of no importance to Uncle Tun. On the other hand, hunger almost always filled Uncle Tun's body and mind, and he really had no intention of chasing and killing the two people just because of such a small matter.
Now that two messengers have run away, just find a few more.
Despite this, the two pioneers did not dare to risk returning to their hometown, for fear of provoking Uncle Tun one day.
They have been acting as superheroes in a direction away from Uncle Tun, doing all kinds of good things in an attempt to make up for the mistakes they once made.
Whether they did it voluntarily or not, during the time they served as messengers, they did help the tyrant to commit atrocities, helped Uncle Tun find some food, and indirectly killed billions of intelligent creatures.
But with these two powerful cosmic beings, no matter it is the Shi'ar Empire, the Kree Empire, or other powerful beings in the universe, such as the Supreme Lord and the Council of the Elders of the Universe, they all have to look up to Xandar.
Both of them are not very old, and they still have many relatives and friends living well on Xandar. If there really is a conflict between other forces and the Nova Corps, do you think they will lend a hand?
They can all fly at the speed of light, perform space jumps, etc. Theoretically, as long as there is enough time, they can destroy any force in the universe through guerrilla warfare.
Regardless of whether or not they could win in the end, anyone with a brain would know that the gains and losses from declaring war on the Nova Corps would definitely not be proportional.
In addition, although the Nova Corps itself is very powerful, it has no ambitions. Apart from being the cosmic police, it just stays quietly on Xandar.
This means that even though many forces have been defeated by the Nova Corps, no one is stupid enough to dare to declare war on the Nova Corps.
Because of this, when Levi heard Adora mention these two names, he knew that the matter was settled.
Even if I didn't exist, the other party's victory over the Fallen was a foregone conclusion.
What Adora was worried about was that if she couldn't completely deal with the Fallen in one go and let him escape by chance, he would definitely carry out crazy revenge afterwards.
All the intimidation of the Nova Corps means little to a crazy fool.
After all, apart from their lives, the fallen have nothing else to lose.
But if the two former envoys could help, Levi's tasks would become much simpler.
He only needed to use the Power Stone to its maximum power at the right time and deal a heavy blow to the Fallen.
Adora only wanted to lock up the Fallen, but she wanted to kill him and then seize the treasure that would almost certainly be on him!
Adora nodded slightly reservedly: "Yes, it is them. Even though they cannot return to Xandar due to the pressure of Galactus, they are still willing to help when it comes to the Fallen."
Perhaps for the person concerned, becoming the messenger of Galactus is not a good thing.
But for her, as the ruler of Xandar and the Nova Corps, the fact that Xandar had sent two envoys, and that they still considered themselves to be the people of Xandar, did have extraordinary significance to her.
Levi smiled and said, “In that case, I am more confident.”
"Please rest assured, Queen. If I cannot accomplish my goal with my own strength, I will seek some help."
Adora was immediately delighted. In fact, this was the answer she really wanted.
She naturally thought that Levi was referring to Odin, the God King of Asgard, but in fact Levi was talking about the Power Stone.
She immediately bowed solemnly: "Whether successful or not, the Nova Corps and I will always remember your kindness!"
Then she waved her hand and said, "Come on, prepare a banquet and make sure His Highness Levi enjoys it!"
