The morning light of Xandar was no longer as gentle as it used to be. While most demons were not afraid of sunlight, they did not like it either, so they set up a simple barrier to prevent sunlight from seeping in, turning the place into a haze. The gray sky was lifeless, but it was a paradise for demons and devils.
"Most of the demon warlocks have been thrown into the Scarred Galaxy."
Sim stood in front of Saber and reported the situation. "They found many remnant souls there. The New Star Army and the Cree have been fighting for more than a decade, leaving behind many resources that we can collect. The first batch of demon worms have also settled down there. They are planning to transform a few abandoned planets into places for newborn demons to grow."
"So, everything is on track?"
Seiber yawned and casually picked up an electronic version of the Nova Chronicles. As he flipped through it, he asked:
He flipped through it and asked, "Have you found the weak point of the dimension?"
"We are looking for it!"
Sim replied. "While it is not a good thing in the universe, it is not something that can be found easily. There must be spatial nodes in the Scarred Galaxy that lead to other dimensions, but the range of a galaxy is a little too wide for the current number of demons."
"Then go and do it. Follow the current pace. Before the New Star Army and the Cree counterattack, throw the Scarred Galaxy into the Hell Dimension and rebuild your hell."
"Yes, sir!"
Sim punched his chest and strode out. As a trusted demon warlord, he had been leading the demons around in circles for the past few days, and he was having a good time.
After he left, Saber was the only one left in the command hall. His fingers unconsciously swiped across the tablet in front of him, but his mind was thinking about other things.
First, there was the request of the demons and devils. It was not that these creatures could not survive in the modern world, but they still hoped to have a country that belonged to them completely. It was not that these creatures of Chaos had the concept of home. In their minds, which was full of destruction and slaughter, the existence of hell was equivalent to a place to rest and temporarily hide. After they were tired of killing, they could go back to rest and not have to be on tenterhooks in the modern world.
Yes, after Saber's demon army stayed in the modern world for a long time, they showed some signs of discomfort. Compared to the better environment in the modern world, they seemed to want to return to the terrible hell. This was an instinctive request of dimensional creatures. They did not belong to the modern world, and Saber had gathered them in the name of rebuilding hell. At the end of the war, giving them a new hell was equivalent to Saber's promise.
The Scarred Star System was a very suitable place. It was big enough and desolate enough for the heavily injured demons to reproduce. Now, there was only one thing left to do. After finding the weak point of the dimension, he had to open the door to the hell dimension that had been distorted into a desolate void. Then, he had to think of a way to "push" the entire star system into it.
But how to "push" it? This was something that no one knew. At the very least, Saber and his demons did not know.
"If it's really not possible, it seems like I have to go to the black market again."
Saber stroked his chin and muttered to himself with a headache. The collector definitely knew the method, but the price to ask for his help was a little too high. Furthermore, Saber did not seem to have anything that could satisfy Divan's so-called "one of a kind".
As for the second matter, it gave Saber an even bigger headache.
With a flip of his finger, two pieces of pure white irregular crystals appeared in the middle of his palm. They were not transparent like glass, but there was some kind of chaotic liquid inside. It was as though there was some kind of energy liquid inside the transparent shell.
Placing them under the light, one could see the flames dancing in the liquid inside. It was as though they were burning. Although these crystals looked fragile, even with Saber's immense strength, he was unable to destroy them. There was some kind of higher power that maintained their existence.
Yes, these were the fragments of the Phoenix …
In the past tens of millions of years, the remnants of the Phoenix's power were left behind as it roamed the universe. Every piece was an extension of the Phoenix's existence. According to the Phoenix, she could not remember how many fragments she had divided into. However, after so many fragments were divided, the fact that she could still suppress a single universe was enough to prove the strength of the Phoenix itself.
However, this was not good news for Saber. This meant that the risk of him "going back on his word" had increased. If he was not careful, he could be in danger of losing his life.
The two fragments of the Phoenix in his hand were brought back by Yondu who returned to Xandar yesterday. The veteran interstellar hunter was extremely efficient. In just 12 days, he had crossed two galaxies and found two fragments that were hidden deep in time for Saber.
According to him, the first fragment was found in the emperor's mausoleum in the Arcturus System. The mausoleum was at least 5,000 years old. The second fragment was found on an abandoned planet at the edge of the Immortal Brilliance System. It was worshipped by a group of primitive creatures that had experienced the apocalyptic war. It was impossible to determine the age of the fragment, but it was definitely not younger than the first fragment.
These were just two neighboring galaxies. If Saber really decided to follow the Phoenix on a journey to the universe, it meant that he would have to visit all the galaxies with civilizations in the multiverse at least once. It was simply despairing.
"Hmm, I smell something familiar …"
Just as Saber was deep in thought, a voice suddenly rang in his mind. Then, the awakened Phoenix spoke in a lazy voice.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"About two months."
Saber's emotions did not fluctuate too much. The Phoenix would wake up sooner or later. This was the inevitable result. He casually answered the Phoenix's question and slid the two fragments between his fingertips.
"Speaking of which, I found what you wanted … Is this it?"
"Hmm?"
The Phoenix seemed to have just woken up and was somewhat sluggish. She projected her consciousness into Saber's hand. The two pieces of solidified crystal gradually began to melt. The hard outer shell was peeled off, and a weak flame, like an energy liquid, danced in the air. The next moment, it disappeared into Saber's palm.
"Oh oh oh …"
The Phoenix let out a whimper that made one's imagination run wild, like a drug addict. He could even feel the Phoenix's will wavering. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"This feeling of power returning makes me unable to stop myself every time. You've done well, little cutie. Continue to work hard … Two fragments in two months. At this rate, you'll be able to complete this task in a few hundred years."
"But seriously, are you going to give up? Are you going to accept your fate and be driven by me? "
The Phoenix giggled and said, "This doesn't look like you."
"No!"
Saber replied seriously, "I'm planning. If I'm lucky enough, I'll be able to get rid of you soon."
"Oh?"
The Phoenix smiled playfully. "Very well, then I'll wait … I suddenly feel that playing this game with you is really getting more and more interesting."
"Ah …"
She suddenly yawned again, and her huge consciousness began to slowly sink into a certain dimension. "I'm going back to sleep, but don't worry. Don't feel lonely, little cutie. I'll soon regain consciousness and come to accompany you …"
"Wait! Phoenix, I have something to ask you. "
Saber suddenly spoke in his consciousness. "Since you claim to be omniscient, please tell me, how can I push a modern galaxy into another dimension?"
"You want to rebuild hell?"
The Phoenix was an intelligent creature from a higher dimension. With just one question, she was able to grasp the context of the matter. She pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to do anything.
"You don't have to do anything. As long as the hole in the target dimension is big enough, the gravitational force inside will automatically absorb everything around it. This is especially true for a companion dimension like hell. Its universe laws are not complete, causing its surface area to be very small. Now that its interior has been destroyed, its gravitational force will become very strong. All you need to do is to protect yourself when you cross the dimension and wait patiently … At most, it will take two months for the dimension conversion to be completed."
"Maybe next time I should call you the" Great King of Hell "," the Phoenix joked.
However, in the next moment, her attention was focused on Saber's gauntlet on the table in front of her. The purple gemstone embedded in the gauntlet was overflowing with brilliance.
"Wow! It seems that a lot of things have happened during my two months of slumber … Power Stone, you've got it. Very good, very good … You're indeed the one I've chosen. You're indeed extraordinary. However, be careful when using it, Saber. Power Stones are just like other gemstones. They're very dangerous. "
"Oh? What do you mean? "
Saber asked in return. The Phoenix did not hide anything this time. The current situation had already determined that she and Saber would share weal and woe for a very long time. There was no need for her to hide anything when it came to matters related to Saber's personal safety.
"The Power Stone's increase in strength can be said to be limitless. However, this kind of increase has no safety lock, little cutie … If I were you, I wouldn't recklessly try to do something as dangerous as increasing your strength by 100 times. If you throw a punch like that, you'll undoubtedly destroy your opponent, but your body will also disintegrate because of it. Do you understand? Before you understand the limits of your current body, don't immerse yourself in the power and increase it without limit! "
"Do I look like the kind of person who immerses himself in it?"
Saber smiled and put on the gauntlet on his hand, but the Phoenix was not as optimistic as him.
"You may not be, but in the face of the temptation of the Power Stone, I haven't seen anyone who can keep calm all the time. Its danger is not as obvious as the Reality Stone, but believe me, the number of heroes who have been destroyed by the Power Stone is definitely more than ten times the number of souls who have been killed by the Reality Stone. It is the most dangerous of the Infinity Stones. Of course, if used well, it will also be the strongest."
"Well, I'm going to sleep. I'm looking forward to the next time we meet, Saber. If you bring me more fragments, maybe I'll give you a vacation … I'm serious."
After the Phoenix's consciousness was completely silent, Saber stroked his right fist and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your kindness.
"Thank you for your kindness, Phoenix, but compared to a short holiday, I want eternal freedom more."
He raised his head, and on the activated projection in front of him, a lonely planet suspended outside the black hole shone so brightly. That would be the end of his next journey. If he was lucky enough, it would also be the new beginning of his freedom.
"Everything is done. It's time to set off again."
However, just as Saber was about to leave Xandar, Rocket flapped his newly acquired black bat wings and rushed into the command hall with a green flame. In a flash, he stood on the table in front of Saber and handed a letter to Saber.
"Overlord, Quill … Quill has left …"
"Hmm?"
Saber frowned. He reached out and took the letter from Rocket and opened it. It was very short, but the words were elegant. Saber did not expect that Peter Jason Quill, an interstellar orphan who was kidnapped from Earth since he was young, could write such beautiful English.
"Overlord Saber,"
"By the time you read this letter, I've already left Xander and am on my way to Earth. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Even though we met in a terrible way, there is no doubt that I can feel your kindness towards me from the bottom of your heart. Obviously, you do see me as a true comrade, and I'm very touched."
"I don't want to comment on your war or your style of doing things, but unfortunately, I tried countless times to convince myself to join your army and become a conqueror, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't watch the demons slaughter without doing anything, so I chose to leave. I planned to return to Earth and see what my hometown had become. You told me that it was in danger, so I finally made up my mind."
"I also want to do something for my hometown as an Earthling."
"You may call me a coward, a deserter, but it doesn't matter. If you need me in the future, I will definitely cross the sea of stars and appear by your side … Goodbye, my friend Saber. Perhaps, one day in the future, we will meet in a city on Earth."
"Wish me good luck!"
"— Your friend, Peter Jason Quill."
Bang!
Saber slammed his fist on the command table. His face was full of gloom.
"This bastard … His damned nature still led him into a trap!"
