Chapter 267: Cooperation? Hell
Inside the metallurgy factory located within the mountain interior, the office decor wasn't particularly luxurious. Aside from electrical equipment like air conditioning, it was evident that many things in the office were sourced locally.
Even the wooden desk and chairs, seemingly made of ink-jade material, carried a faint scent of freshly cut wood.
The person in charge of the metallurgy factory brewed the tea, and seeing that Tang Song had no further instructions, bowed and withdrew.
"Come, you two, have a taste. This tea is a specialty of this world. Drinking it can clear your eyes, and prolonged consumption allows you to see in the dark like it's daytime. It's good stuff, just a bit bitter. If you're not used to it, you can add some sugar!"
Tang Song gestured for them to help themselves, then picked up the tea infusion in front of him and drank.
Just as he introduced, this specialty tea infusion from Heimdall was much more bitter than earth's tea, like adding bitter coffee and mint leaves to tea leaves.
As the tea infusion went down his throat, a cool sensation rushed from his throat straight to his heavenly spirit, giving his eyes a cool and comfortable feeling.
This drink of the Dark Elf race was less like tea and more like a magic potion. The Dark Elf race's ability to see in the dark as if it were daytime was more or less related to these drinks.
Rocket Raccoon, sitting opposite Tang Song, saw Tang Song drink the tea. He picked it up and, mimicking Tang Song's actions, took a sip. The moment the tea infusion entered his belly, the bitterness instantly filled his mouth.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—*hiss* *hiss*—"
Rocket Raccoon spat out all the tea infusion in his mouth. "What is this stuff? It's so bitter! Do all you earthlings like drinking this bitter stuff?"
Seeing Rocket Raccoon's frowning, comical expression, Tang Song smiled. He took a spoon from a shelf nearby and added some milk-based block sugar to his teacup.
Then he gestured to him with his hand and said, "Try it again now!"
Rocket Raccoon looked at Tang Song suspiciously, then tentatively took a small sip. The sweet, milky flavor instantly made his small eyes widen. Then, his two small claws quickly picked up the cup in front of him and gulped down the "milk tea"! Thor turned his head to look at him, then his large, greasy face covered in a thick beard stared at Tang Song opposite him. "Sir, you said you saved Asgard and saved Star-Lord?"
Tang Song put down his tea cup. "No need to be so polite. My friends just call me Tang. I saved Asgard because King Odin gave me sufficient return. As for saving Star-Lord, I wanted to make a deal with you?"
"A deal?" Thor was a little confused!
Tang Song explained, "Since you come from another universe, you should understand that your universe and this universe have many similarities: the Nine Realms, Asgard, superheroes including the Avengers, and most importantly, the endless stream of super villains—
Your universe was wiped out by half with a finger snap from Thanos, but our universe hasn't been yet. However, that Thanos is indeed taking action. I don't want the tragedy to repeat in our universe, so I plan to hire you, or rather, we can cooperate—"
"How to cooperate?" Thor's obese body leaned back in the wooden armchair, his fat hanging over the sides of the chair. He stared intently at Tang Song, trying to understand his intentions.
"I know the purpose of your visit to this universe: the Infinity Stones and Pym Particles. But this universe is not the one that is quantum entangled with yours, so the rules of time, space, reality, and soul are not interchangeable. Even if you get the Infinity Stones, in your universe, these Infinity Stones are just a few broken stones!"
"Unless you can find the universe that is quantum entangled with yours, the one that is two sides of the same coin.
I can provide you with the Pym Particles you need. Additionally, I can provide you with a batch of weapon equipment and manpower.
Of course, these things won't be given to you for free. When my universe faces difficulties, I will ask for your help, and at that time, you must provide assistance to the best of your ability!"
"That's it!?" Thor looked at Tang Song with some disbelief.
"That's it?" Tang Song smiled. "Do you know who the enemies our universe will face in the future are?
The Dimensional Evil God Dormammu, the Hell Lords coveting earth, Galactus, one of the legendary Five Great Cosmic Entities, and Thanos, who has always attempted to annihilate half the life in the universe! Oh, and your sister, if she becomes the King of Asgard, I think with her personality, she won't give up the territory of earth!
I need to find some helpers!"
What Tang Song said was half-truth, half-false. Whether it was Dormammu or the Hell Lords, including Thanos, he had already found ways to deal with them.
Dormammu's followers on earth had been completely wiped out by him. This Dimensional Evil God might not be able to find the Reality Dimension in the vast dimensions.
As for the Hell Lords coveting earth, Mephisto's death was enough to make them dare not easily set foot on earth with their true body for hundreds of years.
Thanos and Galactus were indeed trouble. Although the former no longer had the Infinity Stones, a tiger without teeth is still not to be underestimated. On Knowhere, the anti-matter annihilation bombs launched by the Dark Fleet, capable of destroying a planet, made Boss Tang fearful.
He had already offered a high price for Elder Mandel to collect as much civilized technology and finished products of warships as possible.
Especially spaceships carrying anti-matter annihilation bombs and star annihilation cannons.
It should be known that as a Cosmic Overlord, besides his personal strength, the armed influence under Thanos's rule was no less than that of the three major empires in the Milky Way Galaxy.
However, the information Tang Song received from Elder Mandel was that Thanos's Black Order was currently engaged in a major war with the Kree Empire and would not be able to spare time for earth in the short term.
As for Galactus, there was even less to say. That was a monster that fed on planets. In the original plot, Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four seduced the Silver Surfer, who guided Galactus, saving earth from being eaten by Galactus.
But Boss Tang didn't want to gamble on whether Invisible Woman's looks would still work. This was also the reason he increased his investment and development in Heimdall.
As a *countryman, he naturally understood that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even if earth was destroyed, he could just move to another place and start over.
Tang Song had another unspoken purpose for proposing the so-called cooperation with Thor.
"How about it? We can achieve a win-win situation. Your universe needs saving, and I don't want to see our universe destroyed either. Just like Asgard, what about the so-called Ragnarök? Now the Eternal Flame is in my hands. Even if your sister awakens, she can't destroy Asgard!"
Listening to Tang Song's words, Thor's originally conflicted complexion suddenly became strange. If he remembered correctly, Asgard was destroyed by his own hands.
He personally placed the fire giants' skull on the Eternal Flame, resurrecting the giant that destroyed Asgard.
However, thinking about the territory of Asgard destroyed by his own hands, and his people destroyed by Thanos, Thor often thought when he was sober, what if he hadn't competed with Hela for the throne?
With Hela's strength, perhaps she could have saved Asgard from Thanos's iron hooves. Hela's rule might have been brutal, but the people of Asgard might still be alive and well now, and even Loki might have survived.
This was also the reason Thor was constantly drinking heavily. He was afraid of falling into memories, painful, sweet, all memories. He was afraid of dreaming of them.
Father King, Mother Queen, Loki, the dreamy Asgard he destroyed with his own hands, he had let down too many people.
He envied the Thor of this universe; his mother was still alive, and his Father King and Loki were also there.
