When the old rhinoceros man was testing the crystal stone, the Tracking Talisman had already locked onto him. "If you really want FTL technology or artificial wormhole technology, Star-Lord, kid, you can try your luck with The Collector!"
The deal concluded, Elder Mandel personally escorted this group of big clients to the Entrance. Before leaving, Elder Mandel suggested to Star-Lord.
"The Collector Tivan? Forget it. We don't have anything he wants!" Hearing Elder Mandel's words, Star-Lord refused without thinking.
Leaving Elder Mandel's Shop,
Hugh Veda couldn't help but be curious: "The Collector Tivan, the owner of this Planet, does he have FTL technology? Can't we exchange energy crystal stones for it?"
Star-Lord looked left and right like a thief, confirming that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, before whispering, "Tivan is a very picky Collector, or rather, he has a collection quirk. His Collection Vault only collects unique things. Yes, he is very generous, but he has a difficult personality.
There was once a Vagol Mercenary, the last survivor of his race, who came to Knowhere to find The Collector for a job, but ended up becoming Tivan's collection item! There was also a Half-Dragon Person, a descendant of a legendary dragon-like star beast. The Collector said he had the sharpest horn with the largest curvature in the entire Universe and was very valuable for collection, so he locked him up in the Collection Vault! If it's not necessary, I think we shouldn't provoke him. Completing Boss Tang's mission is more important!"
Star-Lord's last sentence persuaded Hugh Veda. The group prepared to leave Black Market Street and take a Spaceship to the next location, Sakaar in the Tayu System, several light-years away from Knowhere.
That is a war zone, and also the largest gladiator arena and slave market in the Universe.
Since they bought Spaceships, they would also need a batch of technical talent who could pilot, repair, and manufacture Spaceships.
Furthermore, the ruler of Sakaar is said to be The Collector Tivan's brother.
Just as Star-Lord and his group left Black Market Street and were preparing to take a flying skiff to the Spaceship docking area, they encountered an "acquaintance" head-on! "It's you! Didn't I just hand you over to Tivan? You escaped!"
The tall Predator held a transparent culture dish in his hand, containing a half-meter-tall Alien egg. Seeing Star-Lord, the Predator was somewhat surprised and immediately extended his sharp wrist blades.
*Click, click!*
The dozen or so Card Soldiers following Star-Lord simultaneously raised the energy guns in their hands. The thick energy guns looked somewhat like Earth's toy water guns, but the alien metal material felt particularly substantial, and the energy shockwave condensed at the muzzle clearly had great lethality.
These energy guns were all purchased from Elder Mandel's Shop. Star-Lord had four hanging from his waist. Purchased with public funds, these energy guns were the latest models. Their force might not be the greatest, but the ones on Star-Lord's waist were definitely the most expensive kind.
Star-Lord understood the Predator's words through his universal translator. He didn't want to provoke this warlike race. He spread his hands towards the Predator, "Hey, did you mistake me for someone else? We just arrived at Knowhere!"
The Predator just glanced at Star-Lord and said in a gravelly voice, "The Collector's commission is complete. Whether you escaped from his Collection Vault is none of my business!"
After speaking, the Predator boarded his Spaceship with the culture dish containing the Alien egg, leaving Star-Lord bewildered.
"Boom!"
Just as the Predator Ship piloted by the Predator ascended into the sky and was about to break through Knowhere's low orbit, a massive energy shockwave descended from the sky, directly blasting the Predator Ship into shattered pieces.
Giant wormholes opened up in the Outer Space around Knowhere, like windows.
Black, massive, strangely shaped, but heavily armed warships suddenly appeared in the sky above Knowhere amidst the flashing glow of jump wormholes.
The moment they jumped out of the jump window, the moment these warships reached their predetermined position, they didn't even issue the most basic declaration of war before dropping black cruise missiles onto Knowhere.
Amidst bursts of firelight, those black, four-sided missiles were launched one after another from the Kree warships' weapon launch ports.
In the blink of an eye, the pirate ships docked outside Knowhere met with catastrophe.
Clusters of burning raging fire lit up in the starlight of deep space, the force of the explosions was immense.
After hitting the first locked-on Spaceship, the explosive energy and concussive blast of the sympathetic detonation often engulfed the surrounding Spaceships that were flying too densely.
"It's Kree warships! The black one is Ronan the Accuser's flagship! How could he appear in Knowhere? My goodness, is he planning to go to war with The Collector?"
The commotion in the sky quickly attracted the attention of many people in Knowhere.
Some immediately piloted their Spaceships, wanting to escape, but the Spaceships were often blasted apart mercilessly by the Kree warships blockading Outer Space the moment they ascended.
Meanwhile, in The Collector's enviable Collection Vault, The Collector Tivan was carefully admiring the Orb he held in his hand.
The Collector is an existence standing at the top of the Pyramid in the entire Marvel Universe.
He and his Brother, Grandmaster, are both members of the Elders of the Universe, beings who are born and will perish with the Marvel Universe itself.
His endless lifespan allowed him to turn collection into a little quirk, just like his Brother Grandmaster enjoys holding gladiator tournaments.
"The Infinity Stones are the most valuable treasures in this Universe, filled with secrets and strength. As far as I know, many people, many influences are searching for them."
As The Collector played with the Orb, seemingly able to see the Power Stone within it, his left hand brushed over a crystal coffin-like coffin beside him.
Inside the coffin was a guy who looked exactly like Star-Lord, with the same greasy face and bulging belly.
