Chapter 259: Tang Song VS The Collector
The Great White Sword Qi, transformed from the Sword Pills, bloomed like a rain shower within this hundred-meter-tall Collection Vault. The white light flashed and vanished, the pure white, chilling Sword Light contracted, and the formless Sword Qi solidified from the void into white lotus petals. Dewdrops condensed from killing intent dripped from the petals onto the ground. The ground paved with Star Stones was instantly cut into countless cracks.
Two palm-sized White Lotuses twirled and transformed into two silver Sword Pills the size of lotus seeds, falling back into Tang Song's hands.
Looking around the entire vault now, after being ravaged by the two Magic Treasure Level Sword Pills, it had returned to the clean, bare state it had been in hundreds of years ago, as if freshly decorated.
Besides Tang Song, only The Collector, dressed in luxurious robes, and Star-Lord, who was dumbfounded inside the crystal coffin behind him, remained completely unharmed.
The Star Stone walls covered in carvings, the ground, everything else in the entire Collection Vault had been pulverized into dust by the invincible Sword Qi.
The two Sword Pills twirled and played between his fingertips. Tang Song was very satisfied with the power displayed by the two Sword Pills; it wasn't in vain that he had used massive amounts of resources to Refine these two Sword Pills.
In the past two years, at least one-fifth of the Five Element Metal Ores produced from Tang Mining Company's mines on Earth and Heimdall's various mining fields had been fed to these two Sword Pills.
Five Element Metal Ores like gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin would become rotten and worthless after their internal Metal Qi was extracted by the Sword Pills.
According to the mining company's data report, the total value of these "wasted" metal ores was at least equivalent to half of Oscorp's market value.
It could be said that these two Magic Treasure Grade Sword Pills were essentially built up by Boss Tang using sheer resources.
If this were in the Jambudvīpa World, only Core Disciples of a Major Sect who raised Dao Soldiers would dare to be so wasteful. Moreover, most resources in the Jambudvīpa World were already owned.
Except for those Primal Spirit Experts and Pure Yang True Immortals who could break through the sky and traverse the vast Space among the Stars, collecting Star Sand, casting great Daoist Techniques to extract a Mineral Vein, or even Refine an entire Constellation.
Ordinary Forming the Core and Nascent Soul True Inheritance disciples, even if they had Dao Soldiers they could command, there weren't so many unowned mineral veins available for them to mine on the Yanfu Continent.
However, Boss Tang's mining company, after the unexpected death of a certain mining magnate, controlled the largest metal mines in South America and North America, and held a thirty percent share of Indonesia's second-largest gold mine.
At the same time, in the booming interstellar mining industry, Tang Group, in conjunction with Stark Industries, Oscorp, and Weyland Industries, occupied a fifteen percent share.
It should be noted that besides the five permanent members of the World Security Council, the country holding the largest share was Wakanda, which held five percent. As for second-tier countries like Japan, Germany, and India, they generally only had a three percent share.
This was also the reason why Pepper Potts, the President of Stark Industries, still agreed to cooperate with Tang Group, even though she knew there was friction between Tony and Tang Song.
Personal grudges were personal grudges. In the face of true group interests, these could all be set aside.
Superheroes might talk about good and evil, about so-called Justice.
But a qualified company head must learn to protect the interests of the company and its Shareholders. Otherwise, in the face of interests, even the company founder could be removed at any time.
The cooperation between Stark Industries and Tang Group almost monopolized the production of Arc Reactors, and Arc Reactors were currently irreplaceable Energy Sources for interstellar exploration ships and mining ships.
As for Weyland Industries, it controlled world-class aerospace Technology and Hibernation Pod Technology, coupled with Oscorp, which was unique in the biological field.
The four companies united to form a near-monolithic interest group.
As for the Federation's Anti-monopoly Law, Tang Group held twenty percent of unregistered Shares, with Shareholders spread across the Federation's political, business, and military sectors. After the four companies, including Stark Industries, Oscorp, and Weyland Industries, formed a common interest body, they exchanged benefits with some old financial groups in the Federation through cross-shareholding.
If someone wanted to enforce the Anti-monopoly Law against them, they couldn't even pass the Congress vote.
Unless the Federal President directly bypassed the Constitution, but the current Federal President's re-election was uncertain without Boss Tang's support.
Moreover, the four companies were very measured in their actions. Their combined fifteen percent share was within everyone's tolerance range. Furthermore, Boss Tang also held the Beast Hide that was crucial for safeguarding the Space Gate.
In the past two years, large numbers of exploration ships and Outer Space mining ships had discovered no less than a dozen Asteroids and Asteroid Belts rich in mineral resources within one Light-year of the Space Gate.
Although the extraction rate of some resources was not high due to the current Technological Level, ship after ship of ore brought back massive amounts of mineral resources from within the Space Gate. If the countries of the world hadn't deliberately controlled it to avoid impacting the metal market, at least half of Earth's local mining companies would have gone Bankrupt.
Besides owning this five percent share of mineral production, the real bulk of Tang Group's mining company's output came from the continuous production of ore in the Heimdall World.
Accumulating so many resources, in the Jambudvīpa World, it would be enough to pile up seven or eight Magic Treasure Level Flying Swords.
Tivan stared covetously at the silver beads on Tang Song's fingertips. Anything he had never seen before held great collection value for him.
"What are these two metal spheres? Some kind of High-Tech Weapon, or a Magic Weapon? Their attack method looks very similar to a Yaka Arrow? But their high-energy reaction is very strong..."
The two Sword Pills on Tang Song's fingertips stopped spinning. He looked at Tivan with some surprise: "All your collectibles are gone, aren't you angry?"
Tivan froze for a moment, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face, followed by a furious expression: "Damn thief, trash from a destroyed universe! Give back my Collection Items, and those two beads of yours!"
Tivan felt like he was going crazy. His Collection, painstakingly accumulated since the Universe's creation, was now all gone, stolen by this little thief!
"Give them back to you?! How is that possible? How could I spit out something I've eaten!"
Feigning surprise as he glanced at Tivan, who was staring at him with eyes spitting fire, Tang Song tossed the two Sword Pills into the air. The two silver Sword Pills transformed into two one-foot-long streams of Primeval White Astral Qi and were inhaled into his nose.
Then, Tang Song flipped his hand and took out an Apple from his Five Yin Pouch. It was a golden apple made of gold; even the stem and two leaves seemed to be carved from Gold.
Watching the Golden Apple being tossed and flipped up and down by Tang Song, The Collector Tivan's Gaze followed the Apple back and forth. He cursed, "This is the Golden Apple I got from the Pantheon, from Zeus! Since the Olympus Pantheon left the Reality Dimension, the Golden Apple Tree no longer bears fruit.
There's only this one Golden Apple left in the entire Universe! I traded it from Zeus for two hundred beautiful women from various races across the Milky Way Galaxy!"
Figures!
Tang Song chuckled inwardly, both marveling at Tivan's detailed knowledge of his Collection Items and sighing at the God King of a certain Pantheon, truly living up to his reputation as a stud.
Tang Song had heard of the Golden Apple; it was a famous Treasure in Greek Myths and Legends.
It first appeared in Greek Myths and Legends at the wedding of Zeus and Hera.
Earth Goddess Gaia gave a lush tree bearing Golden Apples to Zeus and Hera as a wedding Gift.
Zeus sent the four daughters of Nyx, called the Hesperides, to guard the Sacred Garden where the Golden Apples were planted.
