Chapter 225: Cosmic Armaments in Hand, Return to Azeroth

A huge terrifying skull suddenly appeared, scaring all the Cosmic Scavengers present.

They were originally chatting and laughing, the Cosmic Scavengers waiting for buyers to come pay.

Instantly each one opened their mouth wide, the wine they were holding fell to the ground, and they looked up at the giant skull in the sky with disbelief.

"Yes! Is this a mistake? This, this is probably the size of a planet!"

"This planet, this planet belongs to the Collector, it's that Cosmic Celestial skull from the Void!"

Immediately several Cosmic Scavengers recognized the origin of this giant skull, after all the Collector's no‑man's‑land is a place they often frequent.

"It seems so, but why did it suddenly appear?"

"I find it strange too; a blue smoky thing suddenly appeared and brought him over."

What kind of ability is this?! This Cosmic Celestial skull is the size of an asteroid, letting him appear out of thin air—what tremendous power! "I think we should quickly pack up and run; I always feel something bad is going to happen." A somewhat timid Cosmic Scavenger suggested fleeing.

"You idiots, calm down; our new boss has arrived. Straighten your backs, stand properly, tidy up your appearance—don't let the boss see you looking so sloppy." Yongdu immediately began educating his subordinates.

He had been following Luode for several months, during which he had witnessed too many major events.

Going to Asgard to meet God King Odin. Slaughtering the Dark Elf clan, the legendary dwarves' dwelling, the place where Vadan divine weapons are forged, capturing the living planet Ego.

Only the boss could pull off such a move; moreover, our boss had previously gone to the Void to discuss business with the Collector, and now it seems the deal is settled.

Upon hearing the boss speak, a large group of Cosmic Scavengers finally calmed down.

"So, our new boss is him?" After the boss returned, he displayed unprecedented power, a magical ability with extremely strong destructive force; now the boss is more intimidating than before.

"Wrong! He is your boss, my boss; just stand aside and watch." Yongdu said, flashing a mouthful of gold teeth.

"Right! Right! Everyone stand ready, listen to the new boss's orders, got it?" At this moment, Star‑Lord also stood beside Yongdu, becoming his second‑in‑command.

After the Cosmic Celestial power was activated, although he disliked this power, he had to admit that feeling powerful was great; now he was like the Superman he watched in cartoons as a child, able to fly and move underground.

Soon Luode descended before a group of Cosmic Scavengers, while Sagelasi and others remained on the Cosmic Celestial's skull.

Asgard's two siblings did not want to interact with these mortal races, while Sagelasi and Azeroth were eager to study this already‑dead Cosmic Celestial skull.

"Boss! I brought all my subordinates; I also sold the dark elf spaceship you entrusted to me—you few, move the stuff over."

Yongdu waved his hand; several scavengers immediately carried two huge crates to Luode's front, opening them to find them full of interstellar currency.

"Not bad, how much did you make in total?" Luode asked.

"I sold three ships to the Keliren for five million star credits each; the remaining two ships I sold to Shandar planet, also five million gold credits each; the five ships earned a total of twenty‑five million."

The Keliren are a military empire, very familiar with the dark elf clan, and they like their battleships, so the price they offered was quite good.

Since the Keliren Empire bought them, the Shandar planet, which is at war with them, naturally could not fall behind; it quickly paid for the two remaining ships in Yongdu's hands.

"Hmm! Good, what about the remaining arms and weapons?"

Yongdu waved, and a large group of Cosmic Scavengers began moving the cargo.

Batch after batch of huge containers were brought out, and various kinds of standard cosmic weapons were brought to Luode's front.

"Look, boss, besides some arms and weapons scavenged from the black market this time, I also made a profit from the Keliren."

"They had a batch of retired arms that I bought." Yongdu began to Luode introducing his gains this time.

Sometimes cosmic civilizations' retired weapons are handed over to these Cosmic Scavengers for disposal.

"Good, let your people take the ships and move all this onto that giant skull." Luode pointed to the floating Cosmic Celestial skull in the sky, resembling a huge satellite.

"No problem, boss, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and get to work for the boss!" Under Yongdu's urging, a bunch of Cosmic Scavengers immediately sprang into action.

Piloting small ships, they began moving the cargo; batch after batch of containers were transported onto the Cosmic Celestial's skull.

"You did well this time; keep all this cosmic currency for yourself! Continue gathering these arms or other high‑tech products for me." Luode said.

"No problem, boss! I'll take this money as a deposit; I'll gather a large batch of weapons and bring them back within a few months at most."

"Alright! After moving the stuff, take your subordinates and leave; you'll be free to act for a while." It's time to return to the Azeroth world.

This trip to the Marvel World can end here; Sazong's goal has been exceeded.

Actually Luode had also considered collecting other Infinity Stones.

However, collecting the Infinity Stones requires returning to Earth; the Mind Stone and Time Stone are still okay—one is in the Ancient One's hands, the other in the Nine‑headed Snake's.

But the Soul Stone is more troublesome—it requires sacrificing a loved one, and that still has to be done by Thanos.

After chatting a bit more with Yongdu, once the Cosmic Scavengers finished loading and unloading the cargo, Luode let them depart in their spaceships.

After the Cosmic Scavengers left, Luode opened a portal and arrived before Asgard God King Odin; before leaving he had to safely place the three Infinity Stones.

The Power Stone is his, the Reality Stone was gifted by Odin, and the Space Stone was obtained through trade for temporary use.

Soon we will return to the Azeroth world; these three Infinity Stones would be useless there, so the safest course is to first return them to God King Odin.

After the God King regained his full strength, his power was terrifying; in both comic and film settings, Thanos without cheats could not defeat God King Odin in single combat.

This fellow began collecting Infinity Stones, also waiting for God King Odin's death; now Odin has recovered power surpassing his peak.

"A poor Universe Family Planning Office director either chooses to charge in head‑on and get beaten by Odin, or opts to stay hidden awaiting opportunity." "Your ability is indeed convenient, even more useful than our Rainbow Bridge; what brings you here this time?" Odin said to Luode.

Asgard has strong magical protective barriers; even that Earth's supreme mage couldn't dream of opening a portal linking here.

Moreover, that earth mage can only casually open such portals on Earth; but this kid can open them freely in space, completely ignoring all defensive magical barriers.

If such abilities were used in war they'd be too buggy, unsolvable! Fortunately this kid isn't our enemy; he may even become one of us in the future.

"God King Odin, you flatter me; my ability is merely convenient. I came this time to hand over these three Infinity Stones for you to keep; I must return to our world—these stones in my world are just ordinary rocks." Luode produced the three Infinity Stones and handed them all to Odin.

"I understand; rest assured, the three Infinity Stones are very safe in Asgard, with no problems." Odin nodded and said.

Now there is no safer place than Asgard.

"Entrusting them to you puts me completely at ease; then, Lord Odin, we'll meet again!" After saying this, Luode prepared to open a portal and leave.

"Go! Take good care of Thor and Hela's affairs for me; pay attention." Odin said with deep meaning.

"Leave it to me; I won't disappoint you." Luode smiled, showed an "I understand" expression, drew circles with both hands, opened a spark portal, and left Asgard.

Now this portal spell, Luode's activation and use, has become ever more mature; although Asgard enjoys fame in the cosmos.

But actually it's not even the size of an asteroid; placed on Diqiu, it's just the size of an ordinary city; by then we'll move it to Aizelasi.

We also need to pick a suitable place for him, or just have it float in outer space beyond Azeroth's planet—right now Luode has already begun considering where to site Azeroth's new home.

Odin's concern is that their world has suffered a very serious invasion, but Azeroth is clearly not; the three ancient gods are all sealed, and the void forces still cannot reach Azeroth.

After returning with the cosmic titan's skull, Luode gathered everyone together.

"Everyone, we're heading to my world—get ready."

"I can't wait to go check out another world." Thor, and Hela as well, are also very curious about other universes.

"I'm also looking forward to a new world."

Rocket Raccoon and Groot were also excited.

Luode nodded, activated his spatial teleportation ability, and directly tore the barrier between universes.

First he opened the twisting nether that linked him and Sargeras, the Burning Throne on Argus.

Then, using the space‑stone energy stored in the magic crystal, he sent that huge cosmic titan skull over and handed it to Sargeras himself.

"Good! This skull should be useful." Sargeras himself took the cosmic titan's skull in his hand, his face breaking into a very satisfied smile.

At the same time, Illidan's body, the arcane light on him, and the fel power all dissipated, and he promptly collapsed to the ground.

"Lord Sargeras, are we satisfied with this operation?" Luode looked toward the titan who sat upon the Burning Throne in the twisting nether, a titan that reaches heaven and earth.

"I'm very pleased; I will carefully study this cosmic titan power and the energy of the Infinity Stones. Luode, you did well this time."

"Take the divine weapon I forged earlier and use it; I myself don't need it."

"As for the body I'm currently using, I'll entrust it to you to keep." Sargeras said.

"I understand, Lord Sargeras." Luode nodded and took back Illidan's body.

"Alright, go back for now. I want to finish studying the cosmic titan power, and after I'm done"

"then I'll have my demons notify you to come to the Burning Throne, and I'll imbue you with order power." Sargeras told Luode.

What Sargeras promised will absolutely not be broken; once he finishes studying the cosmic titan power, he will imbue Luode with order power.

Luode nodded, said goodbye to Sargeras, closed the portal linking the twisting nether, and then brought the remaining people back to the world of Azeroth.

A flash of light passed, and everyone appeared in Undercity.

"Is this your world?" Thor looked around curiously.

"We really have come to another world—what amazing power." The death goddess Hela also spoke while observing her surroundings.

Casually connecting to another world—no wonder Odin took notice of you; your potential is truly immense!

Luode's return also startled Sylvanas and her companions.

"Luode, you're finally back—you've been gone for several months." Sylvanas said.

"Lord Luode, you're finally back—Bulin really missed you!" The sweet Bulin immediately flung herself into Luode's arms.

"Welcome back, master." The succubus maid knelt to one side.

"I missed you all too!" After saying that, Luode stepped forward and hugged Sylvanas and Bulin.

"Looks like you did well this time and brought a few new companions." The queen said.

This time Luode's journey lasted much longer than before, and the people he brought back are also somewhat different.

The treant and the raccoon, plus the woman in black, didn't draw Sylvanas's attention.

But the man in armor, wielding a hammer and with a head of blond hair, put Sylvanas on guard.

From him she felt an invisible pressure—could he also be a demigod?
