Chapter 311 The Land of Nothingness
A place of nothingness.
From a distance, it looks like a huge skeleton made up of the souls of the dead in the universe. In the eyes of the skeleton, colorful nebulae are floating like cloud belts.
"It doesn't look like it, it is the skeleton itself."
Although it was Bant's first time here, he knew exactly what the Land of Nothingness was.
This is the corpse of a Celestial being killed by the God of Symbiotes, Knull. Normally, the height of a Celestial being is at least 600 meters, and the corpse in front of him is even more enormous. The size of the skull alone is larger than that of a planet.
It is not known whether his original body size was very huge, or after his death, his body could no longer be controlled by divine power and slowly took on this appearance.
The body of the corpse was no longer there, only the spine connected to the head was sinking into the swirling nebula like a spiral tower. In the past hundred thousand years, even the corpse of the gods had decayed, and the dust of the universe had already changed the appearance of the land of nothingness.
Bant still remembered that the last time Loki specifically asked Bill to bring him some ingredients from the Land of Nothingness, but unfortunately, those were just ordinary stones condensed from cosmic dust and did not contain the genes of the Celestials.
It may not be easy to find genes here.
Because the entire corpse is full of traces of modification, the huge machines emit colorful light in the skull, which looks very cyberpunk.
"Is this where the gamma fluctuations of the raw stone come from?"
"That's right." Eunice and Bant were traveling together. There was an Infinity Stone in Eunice's body. There was a resonance between the raw stones. It could be said that she was equivalent to a real-time locator.
"After Requiem obtained the ether particles, it is clear that she did not have the power to seal the gem like before. On the contrary, she should have tried to use the gem to do something."
Eunice said.
Gamora did not use the ether particles in the void, but on another planet. However, when Bant and others followed the vibration of the gem, the other party had already left.
And now, she came here again with the gem, but since the last time she used the power of the gem, Gamora has not used the gem for the time being, and Eunice can only sense a general area.
"What on earth does Gamora want to do?"
Xingyun was very confused.
It was obvious that he had defeated Gamora at that time, and the other party seemed to have given up working for Thanos and chose to take the right path.
But now, she started looking for gems again.
This made Nebula worry that Gamora wanted to inherit Thanos' will and use the gems to do something bad.
But then she thought again and felt that it shouldn't be the case. She just didn't know what Gamora's purpose was.
"Find her first and then talk."
Bant said.
At the same time, his eyes also stayed on the huge skeleton in the void...
The genes of the God Group.
Although they are looked down upon by Superman X, the Celestials are called Celestials because their strength is naturally very strong. The energy of any one of them can surpass that of the Mythical God, and they are at least a single entity to the multiverse level.
In order to deal with the Celestials, Odin specially reforged the Destroyer Armor, but the armor is still being repaired.
Now that he is here, there is no way Bant would miss the genes of the God Group.
However, the Celestials are not a population at the genetic level, but a group of energy-conscious life forms in an unknown non-material form. In some settings, the Celestials are just an eternal dream. Therefore, Bant is not sure whether Little Broken Watch can successfully extract their genes.
Even if extracted, the population optimization of the watch may not be effective.
Because it is difficult to say whether there is a genetic connection between members of different celestial groups.
"Let's try it first."
Bant shook his head and cleared the thoughts from his mind. There was not much point in thinking about these things. It would be good to have the power of the God Group, but it didn't matter if he didn't have it.
"Prepare to enter the void."
"Wait, we'd better do some disguise." Xingyun said, "The Void is a mixed bag. There are all kinds of people here, from spies from the three empires, arms dealers from the universe, to plunderers and pirates, to some messy little hooligans. The Tiangong Association's logo and your face are too conspicuous."
At the last galactic conference, Bant's appearance was already known to most people in the universe.
Although not many people participated in the meeting, even those who were not present learned about Bant's appearance through some channels.
After all, he is the ruler of the Fourth Reich today, so naturally he attracts a lot of attention.
"This is easy, Ice Ghost."
Bant pressed his watch, and suddenly he changed from an Earthling to a strange outsider wrapped in a robe. At the same time, his voice became a little hoarse.
"how about this?"
"It looks much better. The outer layer of the spacecraft can also be changed." Nebula said. This is very simple. This small spacecraft has a program to change its style (refer to Captain Marvel's battle suit).
She changed the color of the spaceship.
"Then turn on the life lock mode."
Eunice didn't need to pretend, she was just a stranger.
The spaceship slowly fell into the land of nothingness. Although it was a lawless area, there were actually invisible managers here.
After developing silently for a hundred thousand years, the Land of Nothingness can now be said to be a mining city. Someone has occupied this huge skull and sucked the marrow out of the corpse of the god, creating a hundred thousand years of glory here.
Almost all the transformation here started from that time.
Today, the huge head has been completely hollowed out. What shines in the two eye sockets like black holes in the skull is not starlight, but a huge searchlight, illuminating the flying dust as beautifully as a nebula.
After the spaceship landed, three people walked out.
Nebula is very familiar with the Void. After she escaped from Thanos, she has been wandering around as a space pirate. The Void is an old place for her.
She raised her chin familiarly towards the airport guard and threw out a string of coins.
"nebula?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time? I heard that your father died? Congratulations!"
The alien with tentacles on his face was not afraid when he saw Xingyun. He greeted her, but the content of his words was a little awkward.
Congratulations on your dad’s death!
But for Xingyun, it was indeed a happy event. The corners of her mouth curled up, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Have you seen Gamora? Her name is now Requiem."
The man shook his head.
Not everyone would publicize their name, let alone someone like him.
Xingyun didn't bother to argue. After telling him to keep an eye on his spaceship, he took Bant and Eunice and continued to walk in. Bant looked around curiously.
In the void, there are three types of shops that can be found everywhere:
The first type is a repair shop, a place that specializes in repairing spaceships and weapons for guys wandering around in the universe. However, each of them looks low-tech, with dirty and oily stains all over the floor and a variety of miscellaneous parts. It looks more like a roadside auto repair shop.
The second and third types can sometimes be confused - bars and nightclubs.
The largest number of people gathered in the Land of Nothingness are organizations like pirates. These people plunder everywhere, and when they have money they come here to spend it. If they find any treasures, they can also come here to sell them.
These people are the most drunken and dreamless, living life from one day to the next.
What they want is not high-end food or anything else, but drinks and women, and sometimes some alien casinos for excitement.
The tavern is not just a tavern. The aliens have many more kinds of decadent things than those on Earth.
Bant followed the nebula and walked around. During this time, he saw an alien that looked like snot dancing in the tavern, which excited many drunkards. Some of them even wanted to pay money on the spot to have sex with the big snot.
I can only say that the aliens’ aesthetic taste is still too advanced.
He was sick to his stomach.
"Maybe Aunt Wade can be considered a beauty here..."
Aunt Wade, a scary woman who could scare Vigilante to tears.
"Who controls the Land of Nothingness now?" Bant asked.
"The apparent controller should be the Guardians of the Galaxy."
???
"Guardians of the Galaxy?" Bant was stunned. Star-Lord has already joined the Tiangong Association and formed a special team called the Galactic Volunteers. How come a Guardians of the Galaxy appeared now?
Xingyun shrugged. "It's only in name now. Instead, the mercenary group the plunderers hired by them are more powerful. But they are space pirates. They just use this place as a base camp. Most of the time, they roam the universe."
"so……"
After hearing what she said, Bant no longer cared about the Guardians of the Galaxy. Instead, the genes of the Celestials still attracted him.
"You said this is a mining city. What's mined is the skull itself, right? Do you think it's difficult to get those raw materials?"
"There shouldn't be many left now. If you want, there should be some left from collectors."
Nebula replied.
"That's where our goal happens to be."
She glanced at Eunice and asked about Gamora's whereabouts.
"The gem's fluctuations are still within range and have not left the void." Eunice could feel the gamma energy fluctuations around her.
"If Gamora hasn't left yet, then she may be with the Collector. If Gamora has left, then the gem may be in the Collector's hands." Nebula said.
Their primary target is still gems.
"Who is the collector?" Eunice asked curiously.
"I don't know the specific origins of that guy, but he has been in the Void for some years. After I escaped from Thanos, I saw him in the Void. He has never left for so many years. Moreover, everyone has the same impression of him, as if he has been here for tens of thousands of years."
As the Collector, one of the Elders of the Universe, time is just a meaningless number to him, so it is understandable that Nebula does not understand him.
"Speaking of collectors, Bill has been taken care of by him before." Bant smiled.
Previously, Bill was forced to separate from the huge battleship due to the pursuit of the fire demon and fell to Sakaar alone.
During this period of time, the huge battleship was found by the Collector, and under his protection, the hibernating Corbin people were not killed by the fire demons.
However, the collector did not seem to be the kind of person who would give up his collection so easily. Bant guessed that Bill must have paid some price, but that guy only reported good news and never bad news.
Nebula nodded. "He has a high reputation and knows a lot about treasures and secrets in the universe. He is well-informed and his bids are relatively fair. Many people are willing to come here and sell their treasures to him. And he is actually the supervisor here. I guess Gamora may be planning to hand the gem to him, or wants to get some information from him."
The three of them walked together towards the collector's residence.
The Land of Nothingness was densely populated, and there were so many people like them that they attracted almost no attention.
Except for a red greyhound standing on a distant hill, its bloodshot eyes watching their backs as they left.
"Collector?"
Next to the hound, a tall figure walked out. It was the Tyrant who was in Muspelheim not long ago. And the hound was naturally the original fire dragon, Jörmungandr.
"I didn't expect to meet the holder of Omintrix here."
Even though Bant was disguised and the logo of the little broken watch was hidden by the wings of the Ice Ghost, Haiba still recognized him at a glance.
after all……
"There are no Nakfuji people in this universe."
However, as a hunter, Haiba is not the adventurous type. He did not plan to attack immediately. Instead, he prepared to find the right moment and bite the opponent's throat directly in one breath, killing him with one blow!
"I'm also interested in that man called the Collector. I'd like to see how many collections he has!"
Haiba followed far behind.
And under the leadership of Nebula, Bant quickly arrived at where the collector was.
The collector would not refuse any visitor, because those people might be carrying the rare treasures he wanted, so they followed the two maids into the other's collection room smoothly.
To be honest, it's a bit eerie in here.
In the dim space, countless display cabinets stood there like tombstones. There were all kinds of things sealed in the display cabinets, including shriveled mummified corpses - it was impossible to tell what species they were, and there were also living bodies that seemed to be frozen in time.
“I get chills every time I come here.”
Nebula said expressionlessly.
Obviously, she didn't think so at all.
As for Bant, he was naturally extremely jealous.
There are countless strange and bizarre species of specimens here, which are exactly what he needs.
Perhaps these races are not powerful, but what Bant wants more is to replenish the number of races in the watch, which is the spark of civilization.
