To be honest, before hanging up the communication, Quill did hesitate for a moment.
Looking at Yondu's bruised and swollen face and the cold light shining in the eyes of the kidnapper, it didn't seem that he was joking. This hesitation gradually became stronger as he continued to walk towards the client's hut.
When Quill was 6 years old, he was taken hostage from Earth by Yondu's group. At that time, he had just lost his mother and was in extreme sadness and despair. After three consecutive warps away from the solar system, Quill's life unfolded on another trajectory.
Yondu didn't treat him well, he taught him various survival skills, and then forced him to steal things from various planets. At that time, Yondu's pirate group was not very large, and his days were very bad. He was often chased all over the galaxy by the fleets of various civilizations. When Quill was most afraid, Yondu always threw him weapons and threatened him that if he cried, he would throw him to the big fat Pakchak.
Well, it's the unlucky guy who claimed to want to taste the taste of the earthlings and was burned to ashes by Saber.
In Quill's mind, Yondu is a very complicated character. He is cruel, he is cunning, he treats him as a tool, but when necessary, he always protects him, although more often than not, the communication between the two people is always harsh.
But Quill still didn't forget that even in the most difficult time, Yondu didn't leave him behind …
"Tsk!"
Quill shook his fist fiercely: "At worst, I will use 2 billion to exchange for your life! I can still keep 1 billion, but if he bids too high, Yondu, I can only wish you a safe journey. "
Until now, the simple Star-Lord still felt that this was a problem that could be solved with money …
On the other side, watching Quill actively hang up the communication, Yondu's expression became ugly, and when he raised his head, he saw a pair of burning eyes.
"It seems that you are not of much use anymore, Mr. Yondu."
Saber whispered: "I urgently need some information now, and there is no one present who is more suitable than you."
"Wait …"
Yondu took a step back, but before he could finish speaking, a powerful psychic spike pierced into his alien brain. For a moment, Yondu even thought that he was facing a soul as huge as a whole planet, which made him unable to resist at all. In just a short moment, his soul was invaded by Saber.
"Hum!"
During this reading process, time lost its meaning for consciousness. Even though only one second may have passed in the outside world, for Yondu, whose soul was shaking, this time seemed to have passed as long as a hundred years. For a moment, he even felt a substantial flame licking his sinful soul, and it only needed a light touch to burn him, but in the end, the flame slowly extinguished.
"Huh … huh …"
The moment Seiber stopped reading Yondu's memories, Yondu felt as though he had lost all his strength as he knelt on the ground weakly. The experience of brushing past death and ultimate annihilation was too terrible. No one wanted to experience it a second time.
Saber squatted down, stretched out his hand, and lifted Yondu's head with the cold golden gauntlet. He looked at the Interstellar Pirate Leader in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Have you ever been in contact with the Phoenix Fragments?"
"Phoenix? Fragments? "
Yondu's brain was in a mess, but in the face of Saber's inquiry, he nodded subconsciously.
"More than ten years ago, I looked for this kind of thing for a black market collector. We found an indigenous god in another galaxy. After killing it, we got the white fragments, which was a good deal …"
"Very good!"
Saber flipped his left hand and threw three things in front of Yondu. They were an Adamantium dagger, a Venom Parasite, and a Soul Stone shining with a purple luster.
"Yondu Udonta, you are hired, and this is the only reason I spared your humble life … Help me find as many Phoenix Fragments as possible. You can choose to refuse, and I'll give you a chance to commit suicide, but even if you die, your deformed soul will still be used by me."
Saber snapped his fingers, and the materialized blue flames flowed rapidly behind him like lines, quickly forming a blue flame throne that caught his falling body. He leaned against the scorching throne, crossed his legs, and looked at Yondu in front of him.
"Or you can choose to resist. My servant Venom's parasite will erase all your resistance and become my most loyal mercenary. Of course, you can also choose to obey. Hold the Soul Stone in front of you, and I will give you the power you need to complete the mission. "
He reached out and took out a spear that was broken from the top. Judging from the surface of the spear that was flashing with tens of thousands of electric arcs, it was the remains of the Spear of Judgement, Gungnir, that he had cut off in the previous battle. He pointed it to the ground and emphasized his words.
"I am a generous person, and I treat my brothers very well. Now I put the choice in your hands …"
Saber's eyes flashed with a playful smile:
"Let me see what you will choose."
He waved his hand and looked at Yondu's Sim, who took a step back and returned freedom to the Interstellar Pirate leader. The latter wiped the blood from his nostrils. He glanced at Saber, whose eyes were full of smiles. He then looked at his captured brothers. He took a deep breath and picked up the dagger first. It was heavy in his hand. He stretched out his finger and touched the blade of the dagger. With just a light touch, his skin was cut open.
"What a sharp weapon …"
While talking, he inserted it into his quiver as if this thing was originally his. Then he picked up the parasitic body split from Venom, looked at it in his hand, and shook his head:
"A dangerous parasitic creature."
Finally, he pinched the soul stone and looked at it under the light. Under the dim light, he could clearly see the frantically struggling soul of the Abyssal Arachne Lord sealed within the soul stone.
"It seems to be a product of some sorcery system."
The Interstellar Pirate stood up and looked at Saber. A hint of helplessness flashed across his bruised and swollen face.
"As everyone knows, we are very greedy … So, I want them all!"
"Kacha"
The soul stone was crushed, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, purple souls escaped little by little, like flying dandelions, surrounding Yondu's body. Soon, they were connected, and in the frenzied roar of the souls, Yondu's body was lifted into the sky.
"Ahhhhhh!"
This process was ten thousand times more painful than he had imagined. Without the use of the contract scroll, the fusion of the two souls would inevitably use devouring and attacking as the main means. The pain of this process would be infinitely magnified. Souls were always sensitive. Yondu's bone-piercing screams made the other prisoners in the entire cabin tremble, but for Sim and Daitengu, this kind of scene was commonplace.
Although Saber had said many times that after The Devil Gang grew stronger, he could no longer use the Devil Contract. Although this method of absorbing the power of the Devil to fight was simple and fast, and could have an extremely powerful army in a short time, the aftereffects were too great. With the passage of time, the host's personality would always deviate towards the side of the Devil. One day, they would fall into endless war fanaticism and be completely unable to extricate themselves.
It was like a drug addict in another sense.
But come on, they were now in the lawless zone hundreds of millions of light-years away from Earth, facing a group of evil Interstellar Pirates. Who would care about the good and evil of the means?
Under Saber's interested gaze, time passed quickly. Three minutes later, the purple soul storm slowly stopped, and a huge monster covered in purple scales lay on the ground as if exhausted, breathing heavily. A moment later, under the trembling gazes of the prisoners, a pair of purple bone wings suddenly opened in front of them.
Yondu, who had obtained new power, got up from the ground. He stretched out his ferocious claws, pulled out the useless metal symbiotic body above his head, and threw it at his feet. On his forehead, twelve evil spider compound eyes looked shocking, and his original eyes had completely turned dark red.
He moved his body to adapt to the new power, then reached out and placed his hand on the Venom Parasite at hand. The next moment, the black ball rolled on his arm and quickly covered his whole body, weaving a tough and beautiful black skeleton armor for him.
"I … I'm alive!"
The dark green demonic fire wrapped around his claws, and a tyrannical temperament swept through the entire cabin that had fallen on the barren planet like a storm. He could not control it perfectly yet, but it did not matter, he had enough time to adapt.
"Go and pick your own people, bring your most trusted brothers …"
Saber threw out a golden bow without looking up, and the demonized Yondu caught it in his hand. He whispered:
"After I deal with Xander's matter, I want to see at least two Phoenix Fragments. Don't let me down, Yondu, I gave you the best weapon, the best armor, the best power, and the greatest freedom. If these can only be exchanged for failure, then it proves … the meaning of your humble life is nothing more than this!"
"Hum!"
Yondu plucked the bowstring of the battle bow, and the flames on his body suddenly disappeared. He returned to his original blue-skinned alien form. He carried the battle bow on his back, placed his left hand on his chest, and made a salute to Seiber from their planet. He said softly:
"What a coincidence, I hate that thing too … Mr. Saber, wait for my good news."
15 minutes later, an assault ship with a changed paint, painted dark black all over, flew out of the barren planet and hurried towards the boundless universe.
In the cabin of the assault ship, Craglin, who was driving the ship, felt like he had just escaped death. To be honest, the moment he saw Yondu being swallowed by the soul storm, he really had the urge to rush out and fight for his life. But fortunately, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction now.
"Yondu, I say, are you really going to look for that fragment?"
He lowered his voice: "I think it's better if we take this opportunity to escape!"
As soon as he said this, two sharp cones suddenly extended from the black armor covering the surface of his body, and they were pressed against Craglin's neck. It only took a light stab to completely take away the life of this slippery pirate.
"Okay, okay! I'm just kidding! Damn it! You're a demon's armor! "
The first mate exclaimed and begged for mercy. A few seconds later, the sharp bone cones slowly disappeared. Behind him, Yondu, who was repairing wooden arrows with a short knife, suddenly said:
"No! We won't run away this time! "
He put the repaired arrows in front of him. Although they were only made of wood, the extremely sharp arrowheads still had the ability to take people's lives. He took off the golden bow behind him and pulled it in his hand. This thing was one of the few spoils left after Ares self-destructed, and it was indeed the best weapon Saber could take out now.
Yondu did not have the divine power of Olympus, so it was impossible for him to shoot shadowless energy arrows with it like Ares, but when he put the sharpened wooden arrow on the bowstring, the bow quickly covered the top of the wooden arrow with a layer of dark green light, adding the most evil poison to it. Anyone who touched it would die.
In Yondu's original hometown, according to their tradition as Interstellar Hunters, only those who had truly proven themselves were qualified to wear a bow. Yondu had been using blow darts because it was difficult for him to find a suitable weapon, but now, he felt that the longbow in his hand was so ferocious and so suitable for him, like a warrior who had been given a weapon and was ready to go to war.
This made Yondu feel a little emotional, but this was not the reason he accepted Saber's employment.
"Hum!"
The wooden arrow hit the target at the end of the cabin and shattered the steel target. A cunning light flashed in the eyes of the former Interstellar Pirate:
"Craglin, do you remember Quill's father? The monster who killed all his children and has been chasing us through the stars. Now we don't have to be afraid of him. "
"Hehe, we've found another monster!"
Craglin, who was piloting the spaceship, was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Yondu, you're really something! I didn't think of that! You're really a bad guy! But seriously, Quill has tricked all of us this time … Are you still going to protect him? "
"We'll see! We can't even protect ourselves now. "
Yondu picked up another arrow and cursed as he sharpened it: "I was almost killed by him this time, but Saber is not so easy to deal with. He may not die, but I'm sure he's going to suffer this time, and he deserves it!"
"Whoosh!"
Another target was smashed by the wooden arrow, and Yondu seemed to have poured all his anger into it. He took a deep breath, looked at the boundless sea of stars outside the window, and cursed in a low voice:
"Quill, you're a f * cking bastard!"
