Chapter 188 Rocket Raccoon and Supergiant
It did not bring shame to Levi. After obtaining the authority granted by the Heart of the Universe, Dangerous Realm carried out the screening operation with extraordinary efficiency.
At first, she was just an assistant to the Heart of the Universe, but soon the Heart of the Universe opened up more authority to her and actively asked her to become the main force.
The Heart of the Universe does not have any special emotions such as jealousy. It just wants to complete the task assigned by Adora with the highest efficiency.
As a result, Weijing successfully completed the mission in less than half an hour and identified a total of seventeen suspicious targets.
By the way, Wei Jing also copied most of the vast amount of knowledge and intelligence possessed by the Heart of the Universe, picking out the key points.
Including various technologies of the Nova Corps, such as the manufacture of interstellar battleships, new fighter jets, anti-gravity and electromagnetic weapons, etc.
Otherwise, she could actually be even faster.
Unfortunately, the knowledge about the Nova Field and the manufacturing of the Nova Helmet is still firmly blocked by the Heart of the Universe. Danger has not succeeded, and it seems that we have to find a way from Adora.
After receiving this information confirmed by the Heart of the Universe, Adora could not hide her shock and surprise.
There is no doubt that Asgard is very strong, but in her opinion, more than 90% of Asgard's combat power actually lies in the God-King Odin himself.
It would be good if the remaining beings such as Thor could account for 10% together.
The Asgardians extremely worship personal strength and are not very interested in science and technology.
She never expected that such an unexpected situation as danger would occur.
But speaking of it, although both came from Asgard, Levi and the Thor she knew were very different in almost all aspects except that they could both lift Meowth Hammer.
Coupled with the information reported by Maya and the blue sergeant that Levi was very interested in her, Adora couldn't help but be tempted.
If I have to choose, Levi is indeed a very good candidate~
Well, she always firmly believed that Levi was from Asgard, not from Earth which she had never heard of.
Although she had a lot of ideas in her mind, Adora had been the queen for several years after all, so she was still quite shrewd.
She remained calm on the surface, just thanked Levi first, and then passed the information to many subordinates, asking them to be responsible for different suspicious targets.
If they were attacked by surprise, ordinary nova would have almost no resistance to mind control abilities.
But since they already know the existence of the other party, they have many ways to make corresponding defenses, including but not limited to equipment and potions.
Although they may not be completely immune to the supergiant's abilities, as long as multiple people cooperate with each other, they will be able to minimize the threat from the opponent.
Next are some special potion bullets, as well as restraint headbands and collars, etc.
The former is a bit similar to Janet's wasp sting. After hitting, the potion attached to it can cause severe pain, significantly reduce the target's concentration, etc.
Unless someone like Hulk, whose combat effectiveness may be enhanced by the rage caused by pain, the combat effectiveness of most other beings may be greatly affected.
The latter can restrict all superpowered people to a certain extent, but normally, if a collar can be put on the opponent, it basically means that the battle is over, or the fighting power is completely crushed.
In actual combat, it is not very practical, and the Nova Corps used it in the past for some special prisoners.
But for Levi, there is still room for these two things.
He immediately offered to help. If he could really deal with the superstar and copy his abilities, his mental and spiritual abilities would definitely be further improved.
It is not clear yet which version this superstar belongs to.
Except for the special movie universe, in almost all other parallel universes, the five black generals under Thanos have barely only one and a half loyal followers from beginning to end.
One of them is Proxima Midnight, and since she was given a special magic gun, she has become Thanos' loyal lackey.
Of course, this loyalty is not particularly absolute. Under the instigation of her lover, General Corvus Glaive, she also betrayed Thanos several times.
The other half is a black dwarf. He is not very smart, and he is willing to hang out with whoever is strong enough and can feed him, and he will also provide some loyalty.
The leader of the Black Order, General Corvus Glaive, is the most ambitious among the Black Order. He always wanted to replace Thanos until he was killed by Thanos himself.
The remaining Ebony Maw and Supergiant are just two lazy fish. When they are completing the tasks assigned by Thanos, they try to be lazy as much as possible.
The reason why they joined Thanos's army was more to use Thanos's reputation to do bad things, and they did not have much loyalty to Thanos himself, even though both of their lives were once saved by Thanos himself.
If the superstar could really be captured, there was a possibility that she would surrender.
Adora thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
With most of the rising stars rushing to the front line, Levi's power can indeed provide a lot of convenience.
At the same time, she also wanted to examine Levi's strength. Just listening to Maya and Green's previous reports was far from enough to fully understand Levi.
Soon everyone took action, and Levi sent Wei Jing to meet up with Sif and others. They would be of no use in the battle that might break out next, so Wei Jing was just right to act as a temporary bodyguard.
No matter how powerful the superstar's abilities are, she can't be effective in dangerous situations.
Unfortunately, Levi's luck was not very good. The target he chose was not a superstar, but just an ordinary criminal who had smuggled in.
Levi turned around and flew towards the nearest target.
In fact, logically speaking, random flying is strictly prohibited on Xandar, and even new stars need to take off in special venues.
But Queen Adora certainly would not use this to restrict guests like Levi, as she had already granted them special permissions.
However, before Levi arrived at the location, suddenly, Levi's attention was attracted by two special existences.
There was a human-sized tree several meters tall, and a raccoon about one meter tall holding a big gun. At the moment, they were lazily basking in the sun.
One of the tree men was secretly drinking water from a roadside fountain while occasionally stealing glances at the raccoon.
He couldn't help but laugh. What a coincidence! Aren't these the tree man Groot and Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy?
Oh, no, the Power Stone had been taken away by myself several years in advance. It is unknown whether there will be Guardians of the Galaxy in the future.
Levi is still a little interested in the two of them. In addition to Rocket's own combat capabilities, he is also proficient in various black technologies. He can even participate in the manufacturing of the Infinity Gloves. It is even easier for him to transform or manufacture ordinary weapons.
Maybe he could help get Ant-Man out of the quantum space so that he wouldn't have to worry about Ant-Man all the time.
To a certain extent, he has already regarded this parallel universe as his own, but he doesn't want Ant-Man to suddenly jump out of it one day and bring some disgusting things like zombie viruses with him.
Groot was born into a special clan of Flower Colossi. Apart from his fear of fire, he has a very high resistance to mental and spiritual aspects. His attack, defense and recovery abilities are also quite good. Even if only a small branch is left, he can be resurrected by watering it.
At the same time, as his strength increases and he becomes more proficient in applying his abilities, he can also control plants by spreading spores, and even treat others.
Especially the latter, which is considered a relatively rare ability even in the universe.
So he stopped suddenly and hovered in the air above the opponent.
Feeling the shadow above his head, Rocket Raccoon, who was basking in the sun very comfortably, suddenly opened his mouth and was ready to spray out of habit.
The seemingly slow-witted Groot next to him was the first to react: "I am Groot!"
The Flora Colossi will only say this one sentence from beginning to end, but the differences in tone and speed when speaking can also represent different meanings, but for outsiders, few can understand it.
Coincidentally, the Rockets can understand it, and so can Levi.
In Asgard, the language of the Flora Colossi is a special elective course. Thor, Loki, Amora, etc. all master this language.
"Big shot? What big shot?"
Rocket looked up inadvertently and immediately saw Levi floating in the air.
He couldn't help but grin. Whether he could fly by his own ability or fly in the urban area of Xandar, the other party was indeed a real big shot.
"Rocket? Groot?"
Although he was a little surprised that the other party knew his name, Rocket nodded very straightforwardly: "Yes, it's us. What do you want from us?"
"Have you ever heard of quantum space?"
Rocket was not impressed: "Isn't that just a legend?"
In the universe, there are many strange and unrealistic research directions, and quantum space is one of them.
"Not only that, I have a friend who found a way to the quantum space, but the machine was destroyed by the enemy, and he is currently trapped inside. I need someone to help me repair the machine."
As he said this, Levi stretched out his hand and projected out a little bit of information. They were far from enough to tell the other party the true secret of quantum space, but at least they proved that he was not talking nonsense.
After taking a few quick glances, Rocket's heart was immediately pounding.
Someone actually discovered quantum space? This is possible. It's worth a try even if you don't have to pay!
However, he still suppressed his impulse. He had finally found a sucker and he had to give him a good beating.
He rubbed his fingers together and made a universal gesture: "I can help you, but what about the price?"
Levi didn't immediately state his offer, but instead asked, "I wonder how old you are now?"
Rocket felt a little confused, and subconsciously wanted to reply, "It's none of your business."
It's just that he and Groot are a little short of money recently, and he is indeed very interested in quantum space, so he can only force himself to resist the impulse.
"What do you mean?"
"The life span of an ordinary raccoon is only about ten years. If it is modified and has to take risks outside under gunfire all day long, or is frequently injured, its life span will probably be even shorter, right?"
Rocket didn't react when he heard this, but Groot beside him instantly understood what Levi meant. He couldn't help but look at his companion with worry: "I'm Groot!"
Rocket bared his teeth and patted Groot's thigh first: "Don't worry, old friend, I'm very tough and I won't die that easily."
Then he turned to look at this special employer who had accurately grasped his weak points the first time they met.
"I'm Rocket. I'm willing to help you with this job, but what can you offer in return?"
Levi casually threw a rune: "Of course it will directly solve your lifespan problem!"
For the Asgardians, the life-extending effect of this thing is basically negligible. But for the raccoon who can only live for ten years, it directly increases his lifespan several times.
Otherwise, if the Rockets asked him to pay credit points, he really wouldn't be able to pay them for the time being.
Adora was quite nice to him and almost always granted him whatever he asked for, but the only thing she couldn't do was give him money directly, as that would be an insult to him.
As soon as he got it in his hands, Rocket suddenly felt a special energy flowing into his body, which made him shiver with comfort and even the hair at the base of his tail stood up.
Needless to say, some knowledge flowed into his mind. This seemingly inconspicuous stone was enough to increase his lifespan by several decades, and this was just one of its effects!
After taking another look at the mysterious runes and the special hammer on Levi's waist, Rocket realized, "Are you the God of Thunder from Asgard?"
He was so busy thinking about why the other party could fly in the city that he didn't notice the special hammer for a moment.
Levi has begun to get used to being misunderstood: "Thor is my friend, I just used him for fun, but it doesn't really matter, does it?"
"The important thing is, as long as you can complete my task, I can also provide you with something more powerful. Or if you want Asgard's specialty equipment, it is not impossible."
"For example, a gun made of Urujin."
In fact, this is not only a promise he made specifically to the Rockets, but also his own curiosity.
Dwarves have been forging various cold weapons since ancient times. Perhaps using the Uru sacred gold to make firearms can have some unexpected effects.
Anyway, Asgard is now Loki's steward, and in the face of the threat of the giant snake, he doesn't care whether this is a waste.
He also has a special idea. Ghost Riders can enchant their mounts to give them various special abilities.
In the past, there were war horses, elephants, motorcycles, cars, and so on.
But no one has ever tried to build an airplane. It would be very interesting if Rocket could work with the dwarves to build a fighter plane tailor-made for Yali, forged from the Uru divine gold.
Of course, if successful, Levi himself will also benefit from it, after all, he is also half Ghost Rider.
Rocket no longer had any doubts. He grinned and said, "Okay, deal!"
So Levi told Rocket where they were staying and asked him and Groot to wait there first. After the current problem was solved, they would go to Earth together.
Rocket and Groot also understood more and more why Levi was so generous. It turned out that not only was the mission very difficult, but they also had to go to such a remote area.
But whatever, just treat it as a trip. They also want to see what is so special about the solar system that was declared a forbidden area by Thanos.
After separating from Rocket, just as Levi was about to contact her through the communication device that Adora had just given him to see how things were going in other directions, a loud noise suddenly came from the northwest of the city, and then flames shot up into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of Nova fighters took off in the city, contrary to common sense, and soared into the sky.
Behind them were a dozen Nova fighters. As they flew, they wielded their energy wave fists mercilessly, launching round after round of bombings below unscrupulously to cover the evacuation of the Nova fighter planes.
Seeing this scene, how could Levi not know that most of them were controlled by the superstar?
It's just that the Heart of the Universe probably didn't notice when they were being controlled. But when they launched an attack downwards, the Heart of the Universe should have discovered the abnormality in them and taken timely measures, which was to drastically reduce the energy supply.
This directly resulted in the speed of these new stars being far slower than what Maya and Green had shown in outer space before, and was even less than Mach 1.
Similarly, its power and other aspects have also been greatly weakened.
This is the biggest drawback of the Novae. All their power comes from the Heart of the Universe. Without their helmets, they are nothing.
This is also the fundamental reason why Levi tried to let Danger obtain the relevant knowledge of the Heart of the Universe instead of simply asking Adora for a few helmets.
Seeing that there were also Nova fighters flying over from other places and engaging in battles with those controlled Nova fighters, Levi ignored them and just chased after those Nova fighters.
As a supergiant with the ability to fly, she must be in a fighter plane.
Moreover, he doesn't have to search one by one. He just needs to turn on the system and see which fighter plane has special prompts, and then he can see it clearly!
Faced with the sudden appearance of Levi, many controlled new stars and fighter jets immediately launched an attack on him.
Levi didn't care at all. With just a few turns, he easily dodged all the attacks and then directly crashed through a fighter plane.
There, a very thin and tall woman wearing a white hood was looking at him with a little surprise.
In addition to the light blue skin, there are dozens of dark and mysterious patterns on her bald forehead and cheeks.
With such obvious features, who else could it be but the superstar known in intelligence?
There were two blue soldiers hiding beside her. When they noticed the movement, they immediately launched energy wave punches.
However, it turns out that the Heart of the Universe keeps almost constant surveillance on all novae, at least those on Xandar.
Almost as soon as they started to move, the energy in their bodies quickly weakened. It was obvious that the Heart of the Universe had cut off the energy supply.
Even if the helmet still had some energy stored, it could not pose any threat to Levi. He did not dodge and just took the opponent's attack.
The two rising stars seemed to have anticipated this. Almost immediately after launching the attack, they were ejected like cannonballs and launched a self-sacrificing charge towards Levi.
Unfortunately, it was also useless. Even the Meow Hammer was useless. Levi just slapped them twice and flew them away like flies.
Even so, he had actually restrained most of his strength, otherwise the entire bodies of the two rising stars would have been smashed into countless pieces.
This immediately shocked the superstar, but after a brief moment of shock, the expression on her face turned into surprise.
Although I don’t know how the other party found me so accurately, if I can control the other party, it will definitely be a great help to my side!
However, just as this thought came to her mind, before she could actually take any action, she suddenly felt piercing pain in many parts of her body, and then her neck tightened, and a collar that suppressed her super powers was put on her.
Now she can't even use one tenth of her super powers!
When he saw Levi unabashedly letting the Meowth Hammer in his hand emit lightning, and felt the helmet with super isolation ability, the superstar immediately knew that he was completely doomed today.
Not to mention that her abilities are restricted now, even under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be able to fight back at all if she encountered such a powerful being.
If she cannot control or influence the other party, she will find it difficult to hurt him even if she tries her best, but if the other party just raises his hand, she will be seriously injured if not killed.
Enduring the severe pain, the superstar stared at Levi: "I never knew that Asgard and the Nova Corps had such a deep friendship."
Obviously, through the controlled new stars, Supergiant has learned some information about Levi.
But just like the rising star queen Adora before her, the superstar also misunderstood Levi's identity.
What else can Levi say? The only problem is that the Earth currently has no reputation in the universe.
But if Thanos or Thor invade the earth and get beaten up, the situation will be very different.
But he was too lazy to explain too much to the other party. He just smiled and induced: "It has nothing to do with my background. I only care about other people's attitude towards me. Queen Adora regards me as a friend, so I return the friendship."
As someone who habitually uses words and super powers to bewitch others, the superstar couldn't help but blurt out: "Then we can actually be friends!"
Levi was waiting for her to say this. Without saying a word, he slapped the superstar unconscious and started copying her superpowers on the spot.
Advanced mind control, advanced telepathy, advanced mind barrier, and memory stealing are the four major abilities that super giants are good at.
And in a breath, they all became Levi's.
Yes, it's that fast.
After embedding the Power Gem into the Soul Blade and incorporating it into his own soul, Levi unexpectedly discovered that there was such a special additional effect.
It seems that part of the power of the Power Stone is also regarded as part of his strength. Since his strength has been greatly enhanced, the copying efficiency has increased by who knows how many times.
And until this moment, the fighter plane that the super giant was on had not yet fallen to the ground.
After the copying was completed, Levi held the unconscious superstar in one hand, grabbed the tail of the fighter plane with the other, and landed on the ground.
It's worth mentioning that, although he does not have a special biological force field like Superman that can protect whoever or whatever he wants to protect, the material of the fighter plane itself is strong enough that it was not broken by his strength even in this situation.
By the way, he also used telekinesis to give the superstar a thorough body search.
Unfortunately, she had nothing on her except a ring that stored more than 700,000 credit points.
Credit point transactions usually require iris or brain waves, so Levi had no way to rob her and was helpless.
On the other side, after the supergiant fell into a coma, the new stars that she had originally controlled also collectively regained consciousness.
When they realized what had just happened, they all felt quite regretful.
They had clearly made all the necessary preparations before the operation began and remained on high alert at all times, but they still didn't know when they were caught.
Now that’s good, they can’t become rising stars for the time being.
If the battle just now caused large-scale casualties or damage, they might even have to go to jail!
Despite this, one after another, they used the little remaining energy in their Nova helmets to land on the ground, took off their helmets, and waited to be dealt with and judged.
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but marvel. Was it because Adora educated them well, or were they all rational enough to know that it would be useless even if they defected?
No matter how powerful they are normally, as long as the Heart of the Universe cuts off all its energy, it would be considered a mercy from the Heart of the Universe and Adora if they are not thrown to death.
After a while, other rising stars nearby also rushed over after hearing the news. Similarly, Adora, who received Levi's notification, also rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
As the queen, she certainly would not personally participate in such a manhunt, but when the culprit showed up, she would definitely interrogate him personally, as the bad influence caused by the other party this time was not small.
And when she looked at Levi, her eyes obviously changed slightly.
She originally thought that Levi was another Thor, but the brief confrontation just now and the intelligence compiled by the Heart of the Universe made her realize that her judgment was wrong.
Levi is not a replacement for Thor, he is likely to be stronger, at least Thor can't fly without using his hammer.
Perhaps, he is indeed qualified to be a candidate for the Prince of the Nova Corps, but it is not yet known whether he will agree to marry into the family.
