Chapter 187: Trouble with the Nova Corps
Although Levi no longer needed to obtain energy through regular food, he had to admit that he was very satisfied with the banquet.
Given the similarities between Earthlings and Xandarians in many aspects, almost all the food here is very much to his taste.
Many high-ranking officials from Xandar and the Nova Corps were very respectful to him and did not give him any chance to show off.
It can be seen that Queen Adora's rule over the Nova Corps is very stable and powerful. No one dares to disobey her orders or pretend to obey them.
Moreover, the Kree officers who were also interested in Queen Adora as Maya and the others mentioned before were not invited to participate at all. This was a banquet prepared specifically for Levi.
The only thing that surprised him slightly was that some of the older elders completely blocked his telepathy, just like Queen Adora.
The difference is that Adora relies on the abundant energy provided by the Heart of the Universe, while they rely on some kind of high-tech equipment, and it is standardized.
This shows that there is at least one force in the universe that can manufacture and produce this kind of thing on a small scale.
But it’s not a big problem. From the very beginning, Levi didn’t intend to rely entirely on telepathy to do things, and this was even more so after he got the Power Stone.
If the enemy can block your telepathy, just use the Power Stone to smash them head-on!
Skye and other girls were also quite satisfied. Not only did they purchase a large number of alien products and enjoy delicious food, they were also given a lot of alien jewelry, a small flying vehicle and a small octagonal-shaped combat spacecraft.
There is no need to explain the latter, but the former can basically be understood as a flying car, except that its performance is incredibly powerful. It can not only travel on the surface or in the sky, but also travel in space for a period of time.
Since they can withstand all kinds of extreme environments in space, their protective capabilities are naturally extraordinary. In any case, according to the bionic bird's speculation, ordinary missiles will definitely not be able to do anything to them.
This made the female agent even more confused. What had she done to deserve this?
These things were so precious that she felt uneasy just holding them!
In fact, under normal circumstances, she would have to hand over everything she got through Levi to SHIELD truthfully. This was the fundamental purpose of her being sent out as an undercover agent.
Nick Fury hopes to obtain more intelligence through undercover operations, as well as everything that can make . stronger.
Even to find out Levi's true identity.
Although SHIELD conducted many investigations and retrieved Levi's identity from the Internet, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
But the cunning Nick Fury was unwilling to believe it, and he finally sent elite agents to visit the site and look for all the relevant information one by one.
Then they discovered a problem. Many of the people who were key to the problem had either been missing for many years or died in various accidents, making it impossible to verify them.
Although there is still no definite evidence, they have every reason to suspect that Levi's identity is forged.
But now she doesn't want to do that anymore.
In ., no matter how hard she tries, the best she can do is surpass Black Widow and become the number one female agent of .
But can SHIELD allow her to travel the universe and even receive a warm reception on an alien planet? Just think about it and you will know it is impossible.
Although the time is still very short, she has already understood one thing very well: compared to what she can get by following Levi, everything SHIELD can provide is not worth mentioning.
Even if it was just a fleeting romance, considering Levi's figure and looks, she was definitely not the one at a disadvantage!
Therefore, seizing an opportunity, the bionic bird made a decisive decision and moved closer to Levi.
"Your Highness, I have something to confess to you."
She learned to address him like other rising stars, because no matter how she looked at it, Levi didn't look like a native of Earth. If he was an alien prince, then everything would make sense.
Her abrupt action naturally and inevitably attracted the attention of several women on the other side.
For a moment, I don’t know how many women were cursing inwardly and how many women were regretting because the other party did something they wanted to do but did not dare to or were embarrassed to do.
Janet's mood was also quite complicated. Although the time of contact was not long, she had to admit that the many strange things Levi demonstrated were not comparable to those of Hank, who only knew how to do experiments all day long, not to mention the powerful strength that Levi possessed.
But she is not single, Hank is still in the quantum space, waiting for her to save him!
Only Sif looked the same. This kind of thing is too common in Asgard, okay? The strong can naturally enjoy more privileges.
Even as far as she knew, compared to Thor, who had already killed thousands of people, Levi could be considered conservative, not to mention the Greek pantheon in Olympus.
As long as they are attracted to each other, age, appearance, blood relationship, even gender and race, etc. are not a problem for the gods of the Greek pantheon.
Especially the opponent's king of gods, Zeus, showed his desire in this regard to the fullest.
Following the example of their superiors, other Greek gods also played more extravagant games than others. Levi's personal hobby was nothing at all.
What's more, she and Levi had only had a few impulsive moments, and she didn't care who Levi spent the night with.
But when she thought of this, Sif suddenly felt a little irritated for some reason, which was a feeling she had never had towards Thor before.
She took a sip of the wine viciously. That's right, that's it. She didn't care at all!
Levi did not pay attention to the feelings of Sif and others. If he was always spying on the thoughts of the women close to him, it would be too boring, not to mention that it involves things like trust.
He just gently shook his wine glass and said to the bionic bird with a smile: "Oh, is it about your true identity?"
As he spoke, he looked at the beautiful figure of the female agent without any hesitation.
In fact, according to his original plan, he had more things ready to show the other party. Unexpectedly, after just a few days, the other party couldn't bear it anymore.
But it's true, the bionic bird is still in its infancy, the Chitauri have not yet invaded the earth, and now except for himself and Thor, the earth still looks not much different from before.
She has never broadened her horizons and is a real bumpkin who really can't resist the many temptations from the outside world.
The bionic bird was slightly startled, but in fact she had already expected it, so she just nodded.
"Yes, actually I come from SHIELD, which is a multinational spy organization."
The agent lady quickly told him her background, her hidden purpose, and even other information she had.
Including Nick Fury's suspicion of Levi's identity, and Sharon Carter and Black Widow who lurked beside Levi with her.
Now that she has decided to speak, she has completely lost her way out and can never return to .
Naturally, she had to make a completely honest confession, demonstrate her own value as much as possible, and gain Levi's approval.
However, she still cares about moral bottom line, or the friendship between comrades.
She did not completely sell out the two colleagues. Instead, she said a lot of good things about them, saying that they were just completing the tasks assigned by Nick Fury and had no ill will towards Levi.
Moreover, she has a considerable degree of self-confidence. If Levi is willing to reveal part of the truth to the two of them, she has a great chance of successfully winning over the other party!
That’s right, this is exactly the real purpose of the agent lady. Although she is usually very confident about her figure and beauty, she is indeed not very competitive next to Levi.
Whether it is Sif from Asgard, Daisy who has a good figure as if she came out of a comic book, or the two young and beautiful beauties of Chinese descent, they all have their own advantages.
But what if she adds Sharon and Black Widow, making a total of three elite female agents?
It has to be said that when the bionic bird proposed this possibility in a rather subtle way, Levi also became interested.
He had to admit that he had a bit of a collecting habit, and he had a strange sense of conquest for these special beings that had once appeared in comics.
Otherwise, why would he need to spend so much time and effort on a few ordinary Earth women?
"Very good, Barbara, I like your honesty. Come to my room later. I have a little surprise for you."
Barbara couldn't help showing joy on her face and nodded in agreement quickly. Since she was here, she was certainly ready to devote herself.
Between men and women, this is often one of the fastest ways to show sincerity.
But the surprise that Levi mentioned is probably not small at all.
It's not like she didn't notice what happened to Daisy and Sif before. Every time they went to Levi's house, they took a long time to reappear.
This was indeed the case. When Levi walked out of the room early the next morning, refreshed, the two women in the room were still sleeping.
That's right, two.
Almost half an hour after the bionic bird entered the house, Daisy tiptoed in.
Normally when she fought Levi one-on-one, she had no ability to fight back at all, so she wanted to form a team to challenge Levi, the BOSS.
In the end, she overestimated her own strength and was easily defeated by Levi.
At this time, Wei Jing immediately reported to him: "Master, Miss Janet has successfully deployed it. She said that she can try to shrink the Asgard spacecraft. At present, she has miniaturized the flying equipment donated by the Nova Corps."
Levi was quite satisfied: "She is quite efficient."
From what Janet said before, it seemed that it would take at least ten days or half a month to complete, but I didn't expect her to achieve the goal ahead of schedule.
The expression on her face remained unchanged: "She was awakened by Miss Barbara's voice last night and couldn't fall asleep again, so she worked overtime for a few hours and completed the task overnight."
Levi grinned. It was really not his fault.
Even though the guest rooms are specially designed with very good sound insulation, Barbara is worthy of being called the bionic bird and her voice is quite penetrating.
When she was excited, she found it difficult to suppress her subconscious shouting, thus disturbing Janet's rest, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"In addition, I need to report to you that in the early morning, in addition to mobilizing another 60 Nova soldiers who stayed behind, the Nova Corps also mobilized a number of nursing soldiers who were originally in reserve and flew them into space on specially made Nova planes."
"Have they encountered new troubles? Do you have any relevant information?"
In fact, Levi also noticed it, but he was busy with the two girls at that time and had no time to pay attention.
Anyway, if something serious happened, Wei Jing would specifically remind him, and he had already granted her such authority.
"My apologies, Master, they all seem to be receiving their commands through their built-in Nova helmets rather than speaking them."
"Okay, how about your cyber-intrusion into Xandar?"
"There hasn't been much progress for now. The intelligence level of the Heart of the Universe is far inferior to mine, and it doesn't seem to have an emotional system, but its computing power and many other aspects are superior to mine."
"It will take me at least 891 hours to complete the initial intrusion without being detected by the other party."
Levi did not feel any surprise. In theory, the entire Andromeda Galaxy was the law enforcement area of the Nova Corps.
The Heart of the Universe has to distribute different energies to different novae in such a vast area at the same time, and it also has to take into account the operation of the entire Xandar planet. How is it possible?
The "Supreme Intelligence" of the Kree Empire, the "World Shaper" of the Skrull Empire, the "Heart of the Universe" of Xandar, and "Ultron" of Earth can perhaps be regarded as the four most powerful intelligent AIs in the Marvel Universe.
In comparison, the danger that originally belonged to the X-Men seems very low-key.
She later mutated into an intelligent life form with independent consciousness and superpowers. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a monster evolved from electronic data.
At that time, the X-Men no longer regarded her as a mere tool, but a companion, and she became less and less famous.
Even though Wei Jing has visited many worlds and obtained a body from the Transformers, her experience is still lacking. It is obviously impossible for her to defeat the opponent in the territory of the Heart of the Universe.
However, Levi is still very optimistic about the future of Danger. The World Shaper has disappeared with the destruction of the Skrull Empire, and it is similar to the Heart of the Universe, without much wisdom or emotions.
The Supreme Intelligence is indeed very smart, but it overthrew the royal family of the Kree Empire, made itself the boss, and promoted efficiency first in the Kree Empire, eliminating all entertainment activities.
This has directly led to the fact that all the Cree people are now very miserable. Their food is always just a toothpaste-like paste. Apart from eating and sleeping, they are working or fighting.
There was no entertainment such as drinking, smoking, or perming hair, and there was no novel or movie. Clothes were all standard, with some adjustments made based on gender, height, weight, etc.
Almost all Kree people are forced to work 996 every day. Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before the Supreme Wisdom is overthrown or even killed.
As for Ultron on Earth, with the danger and himself around, Levi didn't think it could cause any trouble.
If it's really extreme, just killing Iron Man with one punch will be fine.
In this case, Weijing may gradually grow into the most powerful intelligent AI.
More importantly, Danger can follow oneself through different worlds and gain new knowledge, which is something that the Heart of the Universe and others can never do.
After asking for some more information about Xandar, Levi roughly learned that, apart from the Heart of the Universe and the Nova Helmet, Xandar was an alien force with relatively advanced technology.
Some of the high-tech weapons, aerospace knowledge, space translators, etc. here may be coveted treasures for the Earth, but for him, they can basically only be regarded as toys.
And a piece of information that is not particularly important is that the Nova Corps discovered a planet with a big face cruising about 400,000 light-years away from Xandar. It is the life planet - Ego.
The Andromeda Galaxy is only 22 light years in diameter, and Ego poses no threat to the Nova Corps.
But if Ego is also a member of the Elder Council of the Universe like Supreme, then Star-Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy will face an epic weakening.
In this world, he will no longer be the descendant of Ego, and will not possess the godly blood in his body.
Instead, it was replaced by a small planet similar to Earth, where the technology tree had just reached the stage of interstellar exploration - the descendants of Spartacus.
His father is Jason Spartacus, who has become king. Star-Lord is the prince of that planet, and he also has a half-sister, Victoria.
If he really chooses to return to his roots, he can live a good life.
However, in terms of combat capability, he does not have much advantage over ordinary earthlings. The Spartacus are very similar to those on Earth in many aspects, such as physical fitness and technological level.
The current Star-Lord is at most at the level of a top athlete on Earth, and can probably live for two hundred years.
But it’s not a big problem. Star-Lord never fights relying on his own combat power. He relies on various clever tricks.
Besides, Star-Lord is still hanging out with Yondu at the moment, so he doesn’t need to have any fighting power.
After sorting out the relevant information, Levi decided to ask Queen Adora directly.
The sooner he could deal with the Fallen, the sooner he could return to Earth.
As soon as he started to move, a rising star immediately came forward and asked eagerly if he needed any help.
This time it was not Richard or other rising centurions, but there were five blue soldiers serving as security for him 24 hours a day, day and night. Except for Queen Adora, there were probably few people in the entire universe who could enjoy such treatment.
Levi smiled and said, "I have heard about the Queen's beauty a long time ago. In fact, I came to Xandar this time for you. I wonder if the Queen has a favorite target now?"
Faced with such a straightforward Levi, many new stars were obviously stunned.
But when he thought of the Queen's order, Captain Qing smiled and said, "As a rising star, it is not convenient for us to discuss the Queen in private, but as far as I know, the Queen is still single."
After a slight hesitation, he added in a low voice: "The queen likes young, handsome and strong men."
Levi laughed and shook the Meow Hammer casually: "Thank you for your reminder. It happens that I am somewhat confident in these aspects."
He asked a few more questions, mainly about competitors and the queen's hobbies. Levi asked the poor Captain Qing so many questions that his head and face were covered in sweat, and only then did he stop the topic.
He did not continue to embarrass the other party, but simply requested to meet Queen Adora.
Regardless of identity, status or power, none of those guys can fight.
But that's true. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the Nova Corps strictly adheres to neutrality and only wants to be an interstellar police, and the queen is even less likely to marry outside the galaxy.
Even if the two sides really succeed in combining, the position of the Nova Corps will basically not be shaken.
Therefore, the real big shots did not take part in the event personally, nor would they marry into the wife's family.
The remaining second- and third-rate stuff are usually some minor nobles, middle and low-ranking military officers, or simply some nouveau riche who come here with the mentality of trying their luck.
So it goes without saying that the rising star queen would not look down on them.
This becomes very embarrassing. In the comics, anyway, until the entire planet Xandar and the Nova Corps were massacred by the Zerg from the negative space, Adora was unable to find a man who was pleasing to her and suitable for marriage.
Levi felt that he had come at the right time. As long as he made a little move, he would definitely win Adora's favor.
Levi's request was reasonable and was met in the shortest possible time.
It is worth mentioning that this time Adora directly let Levi participate in the military meeting she was holding, and even allowed him to take danger.
Obviously, after Levi made that promise, Adora further increased her trust and expectations of him.
This made Levi feel a little funny. He really didn't expect that outside the Nine Realms, he could still rely on Odin's face. This saved him a lot of trouble.
"I heard some peculiar noises. Is the Queen in any trouble?"
Adora didn't hide it, she just frowned and said, "It's the Sovereigns. One of our Nova squadrons suddenly went crazy and attacked a Sovereign fleet."
"The Sovereigns believed that we intended to plunder the resources they were transporting, and regarded this as a declaration of war. They have already sent a large fleet of reinforcements."
"But under normal circumstances, the rising stars who are full of pride and honor would never attack the Sovereigns without reason. There must be a conspiracy."
"I have ordered Centurion Richard and other troops to rush to the front line to resolve this misunderstanding, but the other party's attitude is very tough at the moment. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to achieve my wish."
Then, at Adora's signal, other rising stars and elders of Xandar who participated in the military meeting talked one after another and gave Levi a brief introduction of the Sovereigns as quickly as possible.
The Sovereigns are a theocracy + parliamentary system country, and they also have a belief, which is the entire universe, which they regard as a whole and worship.
Theocratic races or nations usually have one common characteristic: stubbornness.
At the same time, the Sovereigns also have additional characteristics such as pride, arrogance, strong self-confidence, and golden skin.
Even if it was not Nova who took action this time, but the Kree Empire or the Shi'ar Empire, they probably would not compromise at all.
As for whether they can win, that is not within their consideration for the time being. For the Sovereigns, face is the most important thing. If the fleet is attacked, they will definitely fight first and then talk about it.
They are also quite powerful. The Sovereigns adjust their genes before birth, and then incubate their members through a special 'cocoon', so that the appearance of almost all members of the tribe can be accurately classified into a certain category.
To put it simply, except for a very small number of priests related to theocracy, most of their tribesmen, both men and women, are modeled. Not only their faces have been plastic surgery, but also their body shapes, strength, agility and many other aspects are basically highly consistent.
In this case, they don't need to be stingy with the lives of their people, since most of them come from the assembly line anyway. More than 99% of them are like screws and can be easily replaced.
Moreover, their various warships are often unmanned, and their energy battery and other technologies are quite advanced, which makes them less afraid of starting a war or causing casualties.
But for the Nova Corps, this is a very difficult matter to deal with.
They were already busy dealing with refugees and pirates, so how could they have the energy to fight the Sovereigns? Besides, there was no need!
After listening to it, Levi immediately understood: "The superstar is nearby?"
Although there was a hint of doubt in his tone, both parties knew that this was basically the answer.
We just killed some space pirates recruited by the enemy yesterday, and an accident happened in the middle of the night. With such obvious means and such high efficiency, the supergiant is most likely nearby.
It is even possible that she was watching in some corner when those pirates were wiped out. This guy would not wait until tomorrow to take revenge.
Adora nodded with a slight headache: "This is also our speculation. I have sent some new stars to search nearby, but I am afraid it will be difficult to get any results."
The universe is so vast, whether we can find it is the first question, whether we will be controlled by the other party after we find it is the second question, and whether the supergiant star will send back false information under its control is the third question.
All these things made Adora feel very tired.
There is no other way. As long as the enemy has abilities like mind control, the battle will become very troublesome.
This is not just a problem that the Nova Corps needs to face, but a problem that almost all races in the universe need to face together.
Levi was also somewhat helpless. Not to mention that he currently only had one Power Stone. Even if he collected all the Infinity Stones, he would not be truly omniscient or invincible in Marvel.
He just gave a slight reminder: "The Queen can check Xandar first to make sure that the supergiant has not sneaked into it."
Adora was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but shouted: "Heart of the Universe, you heard it!"
Yes, why didn’t she think that the supergiant might have captured a few new stars along the way and then controlled them.
It is also possible that they were already controlled before they set out from Xandar!
Levi was a little speechless. He was just saying it casually. He was now more and more certain that the intelligence level of the Heart of the Universe was much lower than that of the Dangerous Situation. How could it not even consider this possibility?
If it was a dangerous situation, she would have listed all the possibilities she could consider the first moment it happened, and proposed one or several different response plans for each possibility.
Really, how did such a Heart of the Universe discover the Nova Field and create the Nova Helmet?
Or did the Nova Corps really take up too many of its computing resources, making it much weaker?
And wasn't Adora relying too much on the Heart of the Universe? She could have figured out this simple question on her own.
This also made Levi a little alert. It seemed that he couldn't rely too much on danger, lest he become a waste.
The other participants were all looking at their queen with a little nervousness; they really didn't want to have a conflict with the Sovereigns.
Needless to say, the consequences of losing the battle are self-evident. Even if they win, unless they can wipe out the Sovereigns in one fell swoop, subsequent troubles will surely continue.
The Sovereigns' stubbornness, toughness, and extraordinary desire for revenge, like their golden skin, have long since spread across most of the universe.
More importantly, there is no need to fight this war at all!
Once a war breaks out with the Sovereigns, not to mention the losses in the war, once the cause of the incident is spread, it will inevitably have a great impact on the reputation of the Nova Corps.
After a few breaths, Adora frowned slightly: "The Heart of the Universe is checking one by one, but its computing power is limited, so this may take a long time."
Due to the inclusiveness of Xandar, many races gather here.
In addition, the situation has become more complicated due to the fact that many refugees have been sheltered recently. It is not an easy task to identify whether there are supergiants among them.
The main thing is that the Heart of the Universe cannot use human power, otherwise the other party could use mind control or upload some misleading information, and all previous efforts would be wasted.
But what we lack most at the moment is time. The Sovereign’s reinforcement fleet may arrive at any time, and the war is about to break out!
Everyone else was also worried, but Levi smiled and said, "If that's the case, maybe I can help a little."
As soon as the words came out, Levi instantly attracted everyone's attention, and Adora was even more delighted.
"Your Highness Levi, if you are willing to lend a hand, the Nova Corps and I will remember your kindness!"
Levi extended his hand and smiled, "Please let me introduce my subordinate, Dangerous, to everyone. Although her area of expertise is very different from that of the Heart of the Universe, she will definitely be able to help!"
