Chapter 224: Forced Transaction, Cosmic God's Skull Obtained
Hahaha! Your offer?
Sorry, sir, you probably don't know, but I'm still fairly well-off in the whole universe.
Probably no one is wealthier than me. The collector revealed a hint of contempt, looking at Luode and the others.
His wealth is top-tier in the whole universe; whatever he wants, countless people will bring it to him.
So he lacks nothing at all; he doesn't accept any offer for money.
This cosmic god's skull—you've been mining it for hundreds of years; the inner brain.
And some bony material has also been almost mined out by you; now only an empty shell remains. Luode intended to first persuade him gently.
You got one thing wrong; when we discovered this cosmic god's skull, the brain had already disappeared, so I didn't mine his brain at all. The collector spoke.
Ah, I see! Looks like this guy Ego really is the brain of that dead god.
Do you know who wiped out the Dark Elf clan? Luode chuckled.
? You mean the Dark Elf clan was wiped out? You're telling me this news! Haha, how funny—they were already wiped out by the king of Asgard tens of thousands of years ago; that's not news at all. The collector held his stomach and laughed loudly.
Are you mistaken? You actually want to buy something from me? It's like a novice who just left his cottage, facing a top tycoon, saying he wants to buy his luxury car.
Even if that luxury car is dilapidated, the tycoon would rather throw it away than sell it cheap to a poor person.
The Dark Elf clan has already been wiped out by my father, the god-king Odin!
They were wiped out recently, not long ago.
In ancient times, my grandfather sealed them away.
Thor stepped forward and gave the collector a brief rundown of what his father has recently been up to.
Oh! I just didn't notice—there are actually two Asgardians!
This one is Thor, and this one must be the death goddess Hela, right?
The two of you truly live up to your reputation. The collector's eyes narrowed, and only then did he see Thor and the death goddess Hela standing behind Luode.
I didn't expect her to be let out, but she looks a bit off, like a mere mortal! No wonder I didn't notice her just now.
If you're willing to accept a trade, I can give you ten creatures, ten very special ones.
Never before seen in this universe—creature corpses, or even living ones are fine.
From the Azeroth world: gnolls, kobolds, murlocs, pigmen, centaurs, harpies, ogres, plus a few fel imps and hellhounds—that should be enough.
Oh! I'm actually interested—are you sure these are races I've never seen?
My appetite is quite picky, but even so, I can only pay—let's say ten million each, I'll give you a hundred million. The collector spoke.
Perhaps you haven't figured out your position yet, or maybe my tone just now was a bit too gentle.
I'll say it again: we need this cosmic god's skull; if you agree,
I'll give you what you're interested in; if you don't agree, believe me, the outcome will be beyond your imagination. Luode narrowed his eyes and directly issued the threat.
At the same time, he directly locked his Conqueror's Haki onto the collector. Do you think you're that cosmic elder from the comic world?
In the movie universe, you're just a big boss of a conglomerate, playing a nouveau riche—never any standout performance.
Even if you once played a minor boss in a hypothetical scenario, you had no presence at all, relying only on a few of Thanos's lackeys to hold the scene.
In Avengers 3, this guy died outright—even all his collectibles and his own territory were seized by the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Cosmic Scavengers as a base.
You dare threaten me? Threaten me, the collector of this universe? You know me—uh! cough cough! I—I have something to say properly. The collector suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure appear on him.
His whole body and soul were trembling; facing Luode before him felt like seeing a natural enemy, like the most terrifying creature in the world.
And this feeling grew stronger; even the slightest resistance would kill him instantly.
I'll show you a little trick: right now, on this planet, every living thing except you will fall unconscious.
Luode, with a fake smile, unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, instantly covering the entire void.
Countless mining drones and small ships in the middle of operation instantly fell; the miners, cosmic mercenaries, and some lawbreakers who had been drinking and chatting just collapsed to the ground.
Their eyes rolled back as they completely passed out—this even included the collector's little maid.
Also, some lifeforms he kept in cages—a cartoonish big duck, and a space dog from Earth.
You! Who exactly are you? "Now I give you two options: first, when I have time I'll bring you ten species you've never seen, and I'll take this cosmic god's skull from under your feet.
Second: I'll kill you, destroy everything you have, and then take this cosmic god's skull.
The collector showed great fear, yet still looked at Luode with utter disbelief.
No problem, sir—if you want it, just take it! If you're willing to give me some of the collectibles I'm interested in as charity, that would be even better.
You're quite sensible, to be honest—I really don't want to be a robber; I've always wanted to do legitimate business with you.
But you're forcing me—why go through all this trouble?
When I first arrived, I was very friendly discussing business with you. Luode patted the collector's shoulder and said.
So you still ended up robbing me, huh? It's just a cosmic god's skull, after all.
His Imperium Group has indeed almost finished mining it; this huge skull is now just an empty shell.
Handing it over isn't a big deal, and the other side's strength is indeed formidable.
The displayed power truly shocked me; sometimes in the universe, the strong have privileges.
After Luode's friendly and pleasant exchange, the collector readily agreed, handing over the cosmic god's skull beneath his feet to Luode and company.
That's right! Look how good this is—I get what I want, you get what you want.
Haha, sir, you're absolutely right—may I ask your name? We've chatted this long and I still don't know your name! The collector laughed embarrassedly.
Still not strong enough! His underlings are just a big company; even when facing some civilizations, he lacks confidence.
Just call me Luode!
Then, Mr. Luode, please give me one month—I'll immediately have people withdraw this cosmic god's skull and then hand over this place to you.
No need for that hassle—Borrows the Infinity Stones from Sargeras. Luode chuckled and looked at Sargeras.
The other party nodded, handing over the greatsword inlaid with three Infinity Stones to Luode.
After seeing the three Infinity Stones inlaid on the sword blade, the collector's gaze changed instantly; I didn't expect the other party to still have Infinity Stones, and they had already collected three.
Fortunately, there was no conflict just now; otherwise, the power of the Infinity Stones could easily destroy oneself.
After obtaining the giant sword, Luode immediately began mobilizing the power of the Infinity Stones, first using the Space Stone and the Reality Stone to gather all the meteorites around the Void, then forming an asteroid the same size as the Cosmic Deity Skull.
Then, using the power of the Space Stone, he transferred all the buildings, all the unconscious personnel, and everything of the collectors to another asteroid.
The once bustling Cosmic Deity Skull instantly fell silent; all life on it, and even all the modern buildings, were transferred away.
"You see, this works, right? How convenient!"
"Hahaha! Indeed quite convenient; I didn't expect you all to still have Infinity Stones."
"How come you're also interested in the Infinity Stones?"
"If you're willing to sell, I'd offer five billion for each Infinity Stone," said the collector.
"Hahaha! Sorry! This is not for sale."
"." Cosmic Collector
"No! Why does this line sound so familiar to me?" "Alright, pay up now! You still owe me one million! Don't forget the dark elf's corpse from just now." Luode said.
The collector shrugged, went to his cabinet, took out a million cosmic star coins in cash, and handed it to Luode.
"Thank you, sir! You created an asteroid for me; it looks like I don't need to move. In the future, you can send any novelties here, whether corpses or living beings—I'll accept them all."
"No problem! Then goodbye, Collector Mr." Luode smiled, activated the power of the Space Stone, directly taking the giant cosmic deity skull beneath his feet, and left the Void.
My identity as a visitor from other universes still needs to be kept secret, so I can't cross over in front of this guy.
After Luode left, the collector glumly patted the dust off himself.
At this moment, the other people in the Void also slowly woke up; many didn't realize they had been moved to another place.
At this time, Luode also brought the Cosmic Deity Skull to a barbaric planet.
Yongdu, with a large group of his subordinates, was waiting here for Luode and the others to arrive.
Suddenly, a huge blue space vortex appeared, and then suddenly a giant skull appeared in the sky over the entire planet.
