The Collector's finger slid across the collection coffin holding Star-Lord.
"For me, the Universe's unique Infinity Stones are excellent collection items. I like them very much, but these things represent trouble. The Little Titan behind them is Death. I never like to find trouble for myself."
Under Star-Lord's uneasy gaze, The Collector sighed. He said:
"Oh, yes, mortals like you naturally wouldn't know about the existence of the Five Great Cosmic Entities. They are true Multiversal Deities! They are the cornerstone of the entire Universe!"
"Muffled sounds—" Star-Lord, wearing a spherical mouth restraint, struggled, trying to speak.
Thanos had an even more powerful existence behind him, and he needed to take this information back.
It wasn't that he hadn't dealt with The Collector before, but in his world, The Collector had no real ability. The Collector in this Universe was simply a pervert.
In his Universe, perhaps because of the bloodline left by his Father, he, a Half-Deity Half-Human, luckily survived Thanos's Finger Snap.
He came to this Universe through this quantum channel, wanting to search for the Infinity Stones and take them back to his Universe to save his world and his lover.
However, this Universe seemed somewhat different from his memory. In this Timeline, he in this Universe not only didn't get the Orb but didn't even know those companions.
There was no method. He could only go to the Planet in his memory himself to find the Orb containing the Power Stone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got the Orb, he encountered a Predator, and a guy who was a Predator Elder.
Star-Lord thought about how he hadn't lasted even three seconds under that Predator Elder before being captured, and he immediately felt despair.
"Information is the most valuable thing, like a key. If you want to open the Gate to a new world, how can you do it without a key?"
Speaking of this, The Collector chuckled lightly. He said with a playful tone, "You carry information from another Universe on your body. As long as I find the key point, I can open the Gate leading to another Universe..."
An attendant beside him handed over a strange pair of glasses, very similar to those used by jewelry appraisers for appraisal.
The Collector put the black glasses on his face. "Click."
With a light sound, the frames in front of The Collector's eyes rotated open like a camera lens.
As it kept focusing, he clearly saw the energy lines winding around Star-Lord's body.
The truth hidden beneath the radiant streamer, that glow shining like Stars, the energy not seen by mortal eyes, the energy not perceived by them.
That was the universal force, the primal power belonging to another Universe.
This, this was exactly what he was interested in. Star-Lord was the most valuable thing The Collector had obtained in these past few thousand years.
A hint of surprise flashed in Tivan's eyes.
The Collector reached out and tapped on an instrument on the Workbench.
The next moment, a holographic projection appeared beside him. Those projections flashed with pictures from various eras and Star Zones. Some were of war, some were secret meetings, and more were of destruction.
In purple or dark red halos, Planets fell apart just like that.
The Collector's voice, accompanied by the flickering projections, echoed in his Residence. Like the best tour guide, he explained in a gentle tone, "You want to obtain the Power Stone, but first, you haven't figured out what the Power Stone is. At the beginning of the Universe, well, I mean the beginning of most Universes, the origin of all things was an explosion. In the eternal darkness, the first light shone, and then the primordial power of the Universe was filled into every corner by the explosion."
"Like blowing up a balloon, it began to expand. Most of the power turned into various stellar entities, but some would evolve into more unique things under special circumstances."
The Collector raised a finger. At the fingertip of his white glove, six irregularly shaped raw stones emitting a unique radiance quickly rotated and jumped, attracting Star-Lord's gaze.
The Collector said:
"Why are they called Infinity Stones? Because each of them represents an attribute of the Stars, or rather, rules. They are the manifestation of great strength on the material plane."
"Space, Time, Reality, Mind, Power, and Soul, the foundation that makes up all things."
"Obtain one, and you master one; Obtain all, and you control infinity!"
Tivan clenched his fingers. He looked at Star-Lord and said, "This isn't an exaggerated description by literary figures, young man. In reality, no amount of words can describe their power, and the more powerful they are, the more dangerous they are."
The Collector flicked his finger. "The Infinity Stones represent the primal power belonging to this Universe. Even if you could obtain this Power Stone and take it back to your Universe, it would be useless. The primal power of one Universe, unless you can completely fuse with it. Remember, rules only exist within a Universe. The conflict between the different rules of two Universes means what you take back is just a stone, unless the two Universes are of the same origin, two sides of the same coin. However, with you here, I can locate your Universe through the energy on your body!"
Star-Lord's eyes widened instantly, his eye sockets filled with bloodshot redness.
"Muffled sounds——"
Star-Lord struggled desperately.
