168, barren land
A handsome young man walked out openly. The star thieves around him were stunned when they saw this, and then looked at the Earthling from the C-53 planet among their accomplices.
Because the appearance between the two is basically the same.
"You...are you from Earth?" the man from Earth in Star Thief asked in surprise. Earth, what a distant name, others call it Planet C-53. He was taken out of Planet C-53 since he was a child, but He has never forgotten that the planet he came from is called Earth.
"Hey, are you from Earth?" Roger said with a surprised look on his face.
"That's right, I'm from Earth. I... I mean, are you from Earth?" The man was excited and incoherent.
Of course, this time is not a time to reminisce about old times. The star thieves around will not just look at it like this. No matter who it is, the one who strikes first will gain the upper hand, and those who strike later will often suffer.
Bah!
I don't know who it was, but he fired first, and then all the star thieves behind him also fired. For a while, a lot of ion energy guns kept shooting at Roger.
"Stop, stop, don't shoot yet, don't shoot~"
But no matter what he said, it was impossible for the surrounding star thieves to listen to him and shoot directly.
The ion energy bombs emitted by the surrounding star thieves hit Roger, causing waves of ripples.
Of course, the attack had no effect. Roger used a good old man's ring. Although it was not a top-level treasure, it was more than enough to defend against some rookie attacks.
"Have you finished the beating? Then it's my turn, Bao. Except for that Earthling, I'll throw everything else into your belly."
As soon as Roger finished speaking, a large shadow appeared on the ground, and then except Roger and the two earthlings, everyone else was brought into the different-dimensional space in Abao's belly.
"Where are the people? They are all gone???" The remaining Star Thief Earthlings looked around in confusion.
"Hey, what's your name?" Roger asked curiously.
There are not many people who can leave the earth now. Apart from Captain Marvel, who has the magical energy of the universe and wanders around the universe, there is only one person left...
"Me? My name is Peter Quill, and my nickname is Star-Lord. I am also from Earth." While speaking, he was still looking for the missing people everywhere. Although he hated the group of star thieves, the leader was brave. Du, but how could his adoptive father still have feelings for him after all these years?
"Um - may I ask, where did you take them?"
Roger said nonchalantly, "I imprisoned them in Po's belly. Your name is Peter Quill? How did you become a star thief?"
Peter Quill, Star-Lord, it was indeed him, Roger knew this man because he was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"Eat...eat?? They're not dead, right? Others don't matter. That leader is my adoptive father. Can you please let him out?" Sand Diao Xingjue asked with an uneasy look on his face.
"Let them go? They are all bandits, oh star thieves, by the way, including you..." Roger joked.
When Peter Quill heard this, he immediately became nervous. Maybe the other party wanted to kill him too? We are fellow villagers.
"Well... this is the universe. Basically everyone is a star thief. There is no such thing as a pure businessman. Even the captain of this spaceship, despite his honesty, is actually a member of the star thief. , can you understand what I say?”
Peter Quill stammered and began to explain that everyone in the universe is a star thief. They are not protected by the law and are outside the law. Therefore, they will rob weak spaceships when they see them. The difference is that they are full-professional and semi-professional. .
The universe and the Earth's Age of Discovery are basically similar. In the Age of Discovery, the sea was also a lawless place, and they were basically half-merchants and part-robbers. The only difference was that the Age of Discovery was more cruel.
"So, I explain it this way, can you understand..." Star-Lord stuttered and explained for more than ten minutes.
"I don't understand..." Roger rolled his eyes, "You just have to explain it clearly, and you can just let me let your adoptive father go."
Peter Quill scratched his head, "Yes...can you let him go?"
Roger rolled his eyes. Although he has the Ghost Rider in his body, to be honest, he doesn't have such a holy heart for good and evil. Does the murderer have to be an evil person?Does anyone who doesn’t kill people have to be a good person?
"Po, let the blue-skinned leader out." After Roger said, he only heard a squeak, and the blue-skinned Yondu was spat out by Po.
whoosh-
However, the next second, just as Yondu came out, a red line quickly stabbed Roger. Roger waved his hand and stretched out his hand to block the red thread when it hit him.
The next second, Roger saw it. It was a red arrow, a product of magic. I don’t know how Yondu got it, and then he shed blood to identify its owner. The control of this magic arrow is also extremely simple. You can control it when you hear a whistle. But if the distance is too far and the whistle can't be heard, that won't work.
Roger looked disdainful. In the past, he would have been unable to resist grabbing it, but now...
There are too many treasures, and I no longer look down on these things. They are not too many. Even after having top-level treasures such as Thor's Hammer and Eternal Fire, I no longer look down on these low-end magic weapons.
Roger directly burned a small wisp of immortal fire in his hand, instantly burning the red arrow to ashes.
"You...you." Yondu said in surprise.
This is the first time in his history that he has seen someone catch this red arrow. You must know that the speed of this magic arrow is similar to that of an ion cannon. Basically no one can escape the speed close to the same speed as light.
"Yondu, stop." Star-Lord hurriedly stood in the middle, seemingly stopping Yondu. In fact, he didn't even know that he was subconsciously protecting Yondu.
Because we are both from Earth, the other party should not hurt me. As a descendant of a combination of the brain of a god and a human woman, my intuition is very accurate.
Star-Lord, as the brain of the Celestials, consumed most of his clones, but was ultimately the only descendant born after merging with an Earth woman. His potential is actually very high.
It's a pity that I didn't meet a good teacher. Yondu is a star thief who can't do anything except murder and robbery.
If Star-Lord, like Loki, was adopted by Odin, then his potential is completely immeasurable, and he is not on Loki's level.
"Well, this gentleman is not a bad person. He is from the earth like me. He just let you out because I begged for mercy." Star-Lord explained quickly, actually because he was afraid that Yondu would not think about it and attack Roger again. .
Yondu thought Star-Lord was in danger, so he attacked Roger as soon as he came out.
After calming down, Yongdu also knew that the person in front of him was not someone he could provoke, and that his magic arrows could not be destroyed by any fire.
"It doesn't matter. For your sake, I will spare his life. As for the others...wait, what does this smell like?" Roger suddenly smelled a fragrance, but it was not food. the taste of.
It was like the scent that attracted him in his genes. Roger closed his eyes and sniffed it with Ghost Rider's nose. Yes, it was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, I walked towards the place where the smell was. It turned out to be a broken box. This box was broken when a group of star thieves opened fire.
"What is this?" Roger looked at the liquid flowing on the ground and smelled it. Yes, the fragrance came from these liquids.
"These are specialties of the barren land..." Yondu explained at the side.
"The specialty of the barren land is a head that looks like a planet. It is said that it is not a planet, but the head of a strong man. The specialty there is made of cerebral spinal fluid, skull powder, and brain tissue. In It is very popular in the universe, because whoever eats it for the first time can enhance his physique..."
"We also got the news this time that this businessman purchased such a large amount of goods over there, and there was no warship to escort him, so he came to rob..."
Roger picked up a can of something that looked like a drink, opened it and drank it. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he secretly hypnotized himself that this was pork belly chicken soup, coconut chicken soup, pig red soup...
After drinking it, I immediately felt that something extremely strange contained in the drink entered my stomach, and was quickly digested. The tens of trillions of cells in my body seemed to have smelled shit and started to grab food.
It's a pity that the drink is processed and very diluted, and the genes that can be provided to Roger are very limited. The cells are telling us that we need more. If we only need more, we can evolve.
"It's not about getting stronger, it's not about increasing energy, it's about evolution!!!" Roger looked at the canned drink in his hand in surprise.
"Evolution?" Yondu asked in surprise, "No wonder everyone is most effective only after drinking it for the first time."
It's only once for others, because their bodies have a sense of self-protection and are locked by something similar to a genetic chain.
Once people overevolve and condense thousands of years of evolution into just a few years, the body's genes will be unable to bear it and collapse. This is probably why the drinks are so diluted.
But Roger is not afraid, he is now...
After thinking about it, it seems that my body is not very strong, but the spell has become stronger, and then my transformation, the Ghost Rider has also become stronger because of the fusion of eternal fire.
But he can cheat. Once the evolution fails, the gene will collapse and he will directly switch to Ghost Rider. Otherwise, he will not die and get stuck...
"These things..." Roger touched his chin thoughtfully...
Two days later—
"Oh, this is a barren land. It is indeed the head of a group of gods." Roger sighed as he looked at the huge planet in front of him.
At this time, a group of star pirates were standing respectfully behind him, led by Yondu and Star-Lord. The other pirates who were disrespectful to Roger were thrown into the universe by him. Give them a way to survive in the universe. It's a big fate.
Among star thieves, the strong are respected. Roger's terrifying power can pull everyone into another dimension in an instant, turning all star thieves into cute rabbits instantly.
Feeling that the brain fluid and bone meal of the Celestials would help him become stronger, Roger changed his plan again and collected a bunch first before returning to Earth.
Now he came to the "Barren Land", a head the size of a planet. According to Yondu's introduction, basically anyone can come here, whether they are star thieves, businessmen or wanted criminals.
As long as they don't rob or fight within a few light-years of the barren land, basically no one cares. This has also led to a large number of star thieves wandering around ten light-years away from this planet.
However, for large transactions, basically those businessmen will hire bodyguards to escort them, either some civilized warships or space mercenaries as bodyguards.
In this universe where star thieves are everywhere, there will of course be a corresponding bodyguard profession, and cosmic mercenaries are one of them.
Yondu, on the other hand, had a more flexible mind and secretly bribed insiders in the barren land, including businessmen who did not have warship escorts or hired mercenaries. He would use part of the profits from the robbery as rebates to the insiders.
In this way, Yondu basically often encounters targets that are easy to rob, which is why he becomes bigger.
"You're awesome, you know how to give kickbacks..." Roger looked at Yondu in surprise, what a talent he is.
"Haha, don't dare. Star thieves are not easy to mess around with. It is difficult to support such a large group of brothers without using your brains..." Yondu also expressed his helplessness.
It's not like he hasn't thought about finding a place to retire after robbing a large sum of money, but retirement would be dangerous because he had offended a big boss, Star-Lord's father.
As a wandering star thief with no base, Star-Lord's father couldn't catch him, but if he found a place to settle down, the result would be almost the same as waiting to die.
After chatting with Yondu for a while, Roger also learned another thing.
Roger asked, "In other words, there are several levels of specialties in the barren land, right? The civilian specialties are the cheapest, while the military ones are more expensive?"
Yondu nodded, "Different civilizations have different races with different physical qualities. The reason for military use may not be that diluted because most soldiers are selected by a civilization, so they can withstand it."
"The one that has bought the most is the Skrull Empire. The people of the Skrull civilization have a particularly powerful talent, which is genetic imitation. As long as they come into contact with a person, they can imitate his appearance and part of his abilities and abilities. memory,
Therefore, they purchased a large amount of special products from the barren land to strengthen the abilities of their own race, and then collected the bodies of strong men. Once a large-scale interstellar war occurred, they would imitate and transform, and their individual soldiers would be almost overwhelmingly powerful. "
Roger took a breath. It would be terrible if he sent Thor to them, even if he imitated a weaker version of Thor.
Even if it is only one-tenth as powerful as Thor, or even one percent, that would be very scary, because in interstellar wars, armies are calculated in billions. Think of a weak version of Thor with billions or tens of billions. Rushing up, it's almost mind-numbing.
Fortunately, the Skrulls' ability to imitate is not so incredible. Dead cells cannot be imitated, that is, only living people. The other thing is that it varies from person to person. Some Skrulls are strong and some are weak. Imitation The degree is also different.
But this is also scary. Countless Skrulls are lurking in high-level spies on other planets, but no one knows. Because of this talent, the Skrulls are among the three major civilizations in the universe.
