Chapter 274 The Collector

   After the energy of the Power Gem subsided completely, Josie was ready to take people away from Morag.

   "Josie, what are you going to do with them?" But when she was about to leave, Peggy Carter noticed the few Decolons being escorted by the stormtroopers, and couldn't help asking Josie.

   "They are Dracula's enemies, so naturally they should be handed over to Dracula!" Josie glanced at several disarmed Decolons and replied without thinking.

  Just as Dracula didn't want to offend Josie, Josie also didn't want to break up with Dracula over a trivial matter.

   After all, there is no conflict of interest between the two.

  This answer was somewhat unexpected to Carter, but it was reasonable.

   "Still, do you have any other opinions?" Josie looked at Carter and asked.

   "No... no, I'm just asking!" Carter wanted to say something, but seeing the slightly majestic expression on Josie's face at this time, he couldn't say anything.

  But in her heart, she still couldn't accept Josie's sudden change at this time.

   Josie didn't say much when she saw this, but nodded, and led Margot onto the spaceship first.

   Seeing this, Carter silently followed.

   "I know you have a lot of questions. If you want to ask anything now, just ask!" After returning to the spaceship, all the way to the lounge, after the three sat down on the sofa, Josie looked at Carter and said.

"...That's great, Josie, what's the matter with this army? Why are you looking for such a dangerous thing as the power gem?" Carter still had the resolute temperament. As soon as Josie let go, she He immediately asked the question he wanted to ask.

"It's actually very simple. The army you saw was formed by me in the past few years. After encountering the incident of Marwell's landing on the earth, I actually got a lot of alien relics one after another. , got a lot of alien technology, and my power was also obtained during this period. As for the power gem, after I learned the legend of the infinite gem and confirmed its authenticity, I started looking for its clues, and looking for him The purpose is actually very simple, I don’t like anything that can threaten me, it’s out of my control… So you understand? Think about it, if there is an enemy of the earth… No, without an enemy of the earth, Even if it's just my personal enemy, what kind of result do you think will be if he masters this gem?" Josie asked Carter back after explaining.

   Josie's words left Carter speechless.

  This reason sounds like a joke, but it has to be said that it is impeccable to a certain extent.

  That's right, I have to master anything that threatens me, it sounds like nothing wrong with it.

  Because the countries on earth, especially the strongest ones, have always done this.

   "But the technology you got, why..." Carter asked again.

"Why not hand it over to the government, why not contribute it to all mankind? Please, Peggy Carter in my impression is not such a naive person—if these technologies are really exposed, Peggy, you tell me, the result will be that all countries on the earth Is there a greater probability of working together to develop together, or is it more likely that Mao Xiong and the United States will go to war directly?" Josie asked rhetorically.

   Carter was speechless again.

  Indeed, in the past few years, the confrontation between East and West has become more and more obvious and fierce.

  Whether it was in the CIA or after taking over the IMF team, Carter does not know how many times he has fought against the intelligence agency of Mao Xiong.

   "Sorry, Josie, I know I shouldn't doubt so much, but the truth of what happened recently has a big impact on me..." After a long silence, Peggy Carter sighed.

   "Of course, I understand this, well, we still need a lot of time to go to the next place, you can go to the room to have a good rest!" Josie stood up and patted Carter's shoulder in relief.

   "...Thank you, maybe I should rest more!" Carter nodded without refusing, got up and went back to the room.

   "Compared to Marwell, she obviously cares more about you! Even now that the US team reappears, it's probably not as important as you in her heart." After Carter left, Margot said.

   "What? Are you jealous?" Josie sat next to his wife, hugged her shoulder and said with a smile.

"That's not true. Is it really okay to just keep it from her? After all, she is our friend...and..." Margot couldn't bear it. She was obviously a good friend, but she had to keep many things from her. It made her feel very sorry.

   "Of course I understand this, but some things must require someone to make a sacrifice..." Josie said quietly... In fact, how could he really have no other feelings for Carter after getting along for so long?

  But as he said, some things must require someone to make sacrifices.

  The sacrifice here is not even limited to the concealment of things.

   and a few more...

  For example... the soul gem, that is to be exchanged with the soul of the one you love!

  It is impossible for Josie to sacrifice Margot in exchange, right?

  Although Josie can also obtain this most special gem by letting others obtain the soul gem and then **** it, this does not prevent Josie from making some preparations for this.

   Thanos trained Gamora for twenty years for that day.

  Why not Josie?

   But now is far from the time, after all, he doesn't even know where the planet Vormir is.

   No record of this planet was found in the database of the Kree Empire or in some external star map materials such as Contraxia.

   Obviously, before Gamora performed a mission to discover this planet in the plot, the location of this planet was still a mystery.

   It’s just that at this point in time, Gamora hasn’t even been born yet.

  Even if she was born, before Gamora was adopted by Thanos and discovered the planet Vormir, Josie would try to avoid the line of Gamora, so that Vormir could not be found.

  Of course, Josie will not tell Margot about these things about the soul gem.

  After having some tenderness with his wife and comforting her, Josie came to the bridge.

   "Leader!" Seeing Josie's arrival, Taronicus, who was already busy, hurriedly got up to say hello.

   "Casual, Vereesa, how is the investigation about the missing predators?" Josie waved his hand and asked.

  What he asked was about the remaining war slaves except the centaurs among the two ships of Kree war slaves intercepted by the ranger fleet.

The news I got from Dracula before, in addition to the predators who have been confirmed dead in battle, there is another group of predators listed as missing, which made Josie keep an eye out, and then contacted Wen Lei Sha, let him find out what's going on.

"It has been found out that there are some predators. After seeing the strength of our fleet, they knew that they were invincible, so they disarmed and hid among the Kerry slaves. After being captured by us, they have been Planning to escape, but our guards are tight enough, and the star field where the fleet is stationed is not on any space route, so they have no chance of escaping at all!" Hearing Josie ask about this matter, Talonico S replied immediately.

"Very well, inform Vereesa and ask her to send all the non-centaur slaves, including those marauders, well, let's meet in Nowhere, and I will arrange a good place for them !" After hearing Taronicus' answer, Josie nodded and ordered.

  The place they are going now is the lair of the collector Tanya Tiwan.

  Josie wants to develop power in the universe, but he doesn't want to expose his strength prematurely, and cause too many conflicts with Kerry and other large-scale universe civilizations.

   After all, he is different from Dracula. Dracula just occupies a territory and dominates the world. In fact, he does not pose too much threat to those large-scale cosmic civilizations.

  What Josie wants is to let the civilization of the earth occupy a place in the universe.

   This is a completely different concept.

  So the better way in the early stage is to follow the path of the neutral universe business consortium.

   But obviously, this method requires a lot of money.

   Although Josie is carrying a plane trader, there are more than a dozen different universes standing behind him, and he has a huge amount of supplies, but it is not an easy task to exchange the current currency of the original universe.

   After all, trade itself is a relatively complicated process, let alone cosmic trade.

  Moreover, the appearance of too many various materials on the market can easily attract the attention of major civilizations and a large number of cosmic business consortiums.

   Of course, during this process, Josie can also wear the tiger skin of Dracula, the blood lord, but it will still attract the prying eyes of many forces.

  Although Josie is not afraid, it will obviously waste a lot of time and energy.

  But in the universe, there is such a place, such an existence, that allows Josie to easily exchange for massive amounts of funds.

   This place is the place of nothingness, and this existence is the collector.

  As an existence that has lived for an unknown number of years, the wealth accumulation of collectors is unimaginable to the outside world.

   Even those old cosmic empires may not be as rich as him.

  Basically, a little leakage from the fingers can drown the current Josie.

   It’s just that it’s not easy for ordinary people to make money from this collector.

  Although collectors don't care about money, they are willing to spend a lot of money for things they fancy.

   But please note that people are collectors, not junk collectors.

   Not high-quality products are not accepted.

  But this is obviously not a problem for Josie.

  There are so many worlds, so many civilizations, and there are too many species that this world does not have.

   Randomly pull out a few, none of which the collectors have seen before.

  Before this, Josie had collected a large number of species from those worlds, which most likely did not exist in the Marvel universe.

   Among them, the most are some species in Azeroth.

   For this reason, little Abidis has been running around for this many years.

  Josie believes that collectors will be happy to pay for these species.

  ...

   After more than a week of sailing, Josie and the others arrived at the star field where the Land of No Existence is located.

   During the period, except for encountering a group of not-so-sighted predators, everything went smoothly.

  Although it is called the Land of No Existence, its location is not a secret.

  Basically, it is marked in all kinds of star maps sold in the universe market.

  But so far no civilization has dared to attack here—even if the special organic matter produced here is a best-selling product in the entire universe.

  To be precise, it’s not that there are no civilized forces who dare not do it.

  But those civilization forces that dared to do it are gone.

  Because the Tiwan Group, as a super business consortium in the universe, owns an extremely large mercenary fleet, the army of ordinary small and medium civilizations is not an opponent at all.

  The collector Tanya Tiwan is also a superpower himself.

  Don't watch the movie, the Collector seems to be easily defeated by Thanos, and the whole Nowhere is destroyed.

   But that is based on the premise that Thanos has already obtained the power gem.

  Although collectors also have reality gems in their hands, they are obviously inferior to power gems in terms of power.

  So it is normal for the Collector to lose to Thanos.

   It cannot be said that his strength is very weak.

  The arrival of the Josie fleet caused a commotion in the star port of the land of no existence.

  After all, the configuration of the **** of the three Cheers-class battleships, no matter how they look at it, they are not ordinary people.

  Although there is no place to exist because of the large number of mercenaries, cosmic miners and various cosmic people with complex compositions, these people are not stupid, and they know who can be messed with and who can't be messed with.

  So there was a blank space around Josie and his spaceship.

  After disembarking from the spaceship, the people on the star port only dared to watch from a distance.

  But Josie and the others are not interested in dealing with these scumbags. They have already made an appointment with Tanya Tiwan, so the other party has arranged for servants to greet them early.

   "Are you Mr. Josie Kahn?" An alien maid with gorgeous purple skin asked Josie cautiously.

   "That's right, I am!" Josie nodded, and the person who came to greet him was not unexpected, and it wasn't the red-skinned alien that appeared in the movie—because the same sentence, the time was wrong.

   The Collector himself is immortal, but his servants are not.

   What's more, collectors have always been harsh on their servants, making them into specimens at every turn, so they are very diligent in changing.

   "Distinguished guests, please follow me, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!" After confirming Josie's identity, the purple-skinned alien maid saluted very respectfully.

  Josie nodded, signaling Taronis behind him and the robots carrying huge containers to follow.

  In these containers are the goods he wants to sell to collectors.

   Soon, under the leadership of the purple-skinned maid, Josie met the collector, who was the same as in the movie.
