Chapter 223: The Void, Collector

Afterwards Hela also revealed to Luode not a little about multiverse matters, such as the dark magic for traversing the multiverse, such as this universe's top forces, the existence that maintains cosmic balance. "How did you learn about multiverse matters?" Luode asked, looking at Hela.

I know this is strange, huh? As the universe's top power, Asgard's grand princess.

I know some secret things, isn't that strange? I've lived three thousand years, okay! Hela said dissatisfiedly.

Asgardians' lifespans are extremely long, so in their lives they have plenty of time to learn other things; this is the advantage of a long-lived race.

Luode nodded, didn't say anything else; actually he still had a question he wanted to ask.

That is how to reach where Eternity is; in the Thor 4 movie, as one of Marvel's five creator gods, Eternity did appear.

Moreover, its appearance is exactly his image in the comics; according to the setting, the entire Marvel universe's cosmos, whether comics universe, animation universe, or film universe, is all part of what Eternity oversees.

And after reaching Eternity, one can make a wish; this is a rare good opportunity!

But now is not the time; we must wait until we completely bring Odin over to our side before Luode can ask Odin for help.

"Alright, everyone, we're heading to the next target location, the Collector's Void!"

Everyone returned to the spaceship again, heading toward the Void.

That day, while the spaceship was en route, Yongdu found Luode.

"Boss, I have something to tell you; our Cosmic Scavengers' weapons prepared for you are almost collected; my subordinates have been sent nearby; they now say they really want to get paid quickly."

Before heading to Asgard, Yongdu had already ordered his subordinates to collect various weapons and set up some production lines.

Now the mission is complete; these Cosmic Scavengers can't wait to get paid.

"I understand; how many weapons did your subordinates collect this time?"

"All my subordinates, thousands of scavengers acting together, collected enough weapons for a small cosmic war."

There are various firearms, laser weapons, grenades, and various pulse guns.

Enough to equip a force of several thousand; moreover, these weapons are at the advanced level used by cosmic civilizations; rest assured, they can completely crush the weapons you mentioned.

Besides that, there is also a simple weapons production line and a detailed manual. Yongdu gave Luode a detailed introduction of their harvest this time.

"Sounds good; how much money do your subordinates want?"

"I calculated; the total value is 1,130,000 star coins; boss, giving you one million is enough." Yongdu grinned and gave a suitable quote.

Although they followed a new boss, the Cosmic Scavengers still mainly aim to make money; only if paid will they work.

"My spaceship should still have around 200,000 star coins; take them all! Anyway, we have no use for this."

These will serve as a deposit; you take them back and give them to your subordinates; after I return from the Void, we'll pay the rest. Luode said.

Luode this time wants to talk with the Collector; he has mined the Void for several hundred years, and valuable things have basically been exhausted; now the celestial skull is just a big empty shell.

So Luode plans, through some special means, to buy this cosmic celestial's skull from the Collector's hands.

"No problem, boss; there's a barbaric planet nearby; you drop us off there? I'll meet up with my subordinates." Yongdu spoke.

"Hmm, besides that, I also have a business for you to handle."

"Speak, boss!"

"I have some Dark Elf spaceships and some of their weapons; you take them to the black market and try to sell them."

Odin destroyed the Dark Elf race; their assets in the Dark World were naturally taken by Luode.

Now Luode has in his hands a full hundred Dark Elf warships; these Dark Elf warships are stored in his private space. (After the protagonist's space ability awakened, he opened a private storage space.) These ships can just let the scavengers dispose of them.

"Boss, you found the right person; we're good at this; we can definitely sell for a good price."

"Then the weapon money will be deducted from the spaceship purchase money; if there's any left, send it to me."

Yongdu flashed a big gold tooth, smiled, and agreed to Luode's conditions.

In the first transaction, Luode gave Yongdu a total of five Dark Elf warships, plus some supporting weapons on the ships.

The proceeds from the sale are 30% Yongdu and the Cosmic Scavengers', the remaining 70% Luode's.

Luode found a barbaric planet, dropped off the Cosmic Scavengers' boss there, and then left.

"Learn this, kid: in front of such a big figure, preserving your life, gaining the other's favor, even getting benefits, is a profound subject."

Yongdu glanced at Star-Lord, very pleased.

"Are you teaching me how to be someone's dog?" Star-Lord showed a disdainful expression.

"You bastard kid, what do you know? This time I and you preserved our lives, and I also made a big deal with him. I also gained the power of supernatural magic; this harvest equals what I earned in the first half of my life."

"Tch! So you're still someone's subordinate."

"Shut up, kid; does the death of your birth father make you very sad?"

"Hahaha! Indeed it's quite sad, but the good news is I still have a good father."

Star-Lord again showed a grinning expression, and hugged his stepfather Yongdu.

This time the two finally opened up about their feelings; they are truly father and son, damn that whatever bastard Ego to hell! After several more space jumps, Luode et al.'s spaceship finally arrived at the Collector's location, a very chaotic small planet.

All kinds of people are there: thieves, fraudsters, murderers, loafers; it's a no-man's-land, belonging to a lawless area.

"Is this the celestial skull you mentioned? It's indeed huge, but I'm a bit disappointed."

Looking at that huge skull in the universe, Sargeras showed a hint of disappointment.

He originally wanted a complete celestial skull, but this skull has been mined too severely; only an empty shell remains.

"At least it's still a cosmic celestial's skull; just make do with it." Luode shrugged.

Do you still expect it to stay intact?

"Its structure may differ from that of a Titan, but its concrete value is not as high as a living brain."

After observing this huge skull, Sargeras gave his evaluation.

"So I want to try and see if the Collector is willing to sell us this damaged skull."

"Hmm!"

Soon the spaceship stopped at an open patch; after disembarking, Luode et al. quickly found a red-skinned maid, then indicated they had good goods to sell to the Collector.

Furthermore, they produced a Dark Elf corpse; the maid didn't keep Luode et al. waiting long, just a moment later she returned, saying her master the Collector wishes to see them.

Luode and several people were brought into a room full of exhibits, where an old man with white hair stood.

He showed a slight smile to everyone, but upon seeing Sagelasi, Aizelasi, and Gelute, he immediately revealed an excited expression.

"Madam, sir, and this tree-person, please allow me to pay now and buy your corpses after you die."

A race he had never seen before—this is truly extremely rare! And there is also a tree-person race; their race is quite rare.

"." Aizelasi

"." Sagelasi

This idiot, are you sick? Just upon meeting, you want to buy their corpses—are you kidding? You actually say this to two planetary souls!

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Mr. Collector; my companions have lifespans far beyond your imagination—probably you'll die while they're still doing fine." Luode stepped forward, smiled, and said.

The collector likes to collect strange and weird races, and he happens to have some in his hands.

In the comics, he is a cosmic elder, lost a bet with the death goddess, and thus is immortal.

But in the movie universe, his strength is not great; he's the kind of fodder that gets instantly killed by Thanos.

"Oh! That's really too bad; I've seen the goods you sent over—a dark elf corpse—I'm willing to pay one million to buy its corpse."

"It's a pity he's already dead; if he were alive, I'd be willing to increase the price tenfold to buy him." The collector showed a disappointed expression.

This is a dark elf! They haven't appeared in the universe for nearly ten thousand years—I never expected to actually encounter one.

It's a pity he's dead, but even dead, this body still has great collection value.

"That's probably difficult!" They were wiped out.

"I examined the wound; he seems to have been killed recently."

"Some things are better left not asked about."

"Alright! I'll take this goods; do you want cash or other payment methods?" The collector shrugged; the seller unwilling to disclose, and he wouldn't ask further—"We actually have another business we want to discuss with you, such as buying this celestial god's skull." Luode said.

"You want to purchase the skull of a cosmic celestial god?" The collector furrowed his brow.

"That's right, Mr. Collector; I have a friend who wants to obtain this skull." Luode nodded.

"Sorry! It's not for sale."

"Let's hear our offer first, how about that?"
