Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#657 - World Tree

In the end, Liang Yue didn't dwell too much on this matter.

Despite knowing that in a few years, or even just a few months, Loki might bring Thanos's army to Earth.

At that time, a large number of war relics would also help Earth's technology take a big step towards the space age.

But now they really need some necessary help, at the very least, to be able to support the operation of the post station shop in front of them.

So, after careful consideration, Liang Yue finally lent three more medium-sized spaceships to China.

As for the United States, Ross, by virtue of his personal status, also rented a spaceship from him.

As for the cooperation that Aunt Liu and Ross mentioned, forming relevant operating agencies and then distributing profits according to proportions, Liang Yue didn't really care much.

Soon, in about three days, the matter about the Asgard post station came to a temporary end.

Liang Yue then took the spaceship and continued on his way~

Unlike before, most of the scholars who had been flying with him all the way now chose to stay at the post station.

After all, when doing research, the way Liang Yue rushed on the road before made it difficult for them to even look out the window.

And more importantly, there are ready-made aliens next to them who can communicate.

In addition to the slightly traditional Asgardians and dwarves, they can occasionally encounter passing alien people and various spaceships at the port.

These are all precious treasures containing unlimited possibilities~!

Therefore, in the end, only Tony Stark was left to embark on the journey with Liang Yue again.

And, Meng Xiaoyu, the scholarly woman who was heavily introduced by Aunt Liu before…

After the number of people in the team decreased, the atmosphere in the cockpit became more relaxed.

Liang Yue waved his hand and took out a pile of snacks, hot drinks, and fruits from the stronghold world. Stark casually selected a pile of heavy metal rock from Xiao Wu's music player.

Even Meng Xiaoyu, who was next to him, put down some pretense and took the initiative to sit beside Liang Yue, eating and drinking quietly, and taking the opportunity to listen to some useful information from the conversation between the two men.

……

"Where are we going next?"

Stark was holding a wine glass in one hand, swaying slowly with the music, and the other hand, seemingly casually, fiddled with the cosmic star map model in front of him and asked.

"There is a planet in the universe called Morag, where a brilliant civilization once developed, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a strong man. I'm going there to get something."

As Liang Yue's voice fell, the star map in front of him suddenly changed, and the range suddenly expanded.

The next moment, Xiao Wu had instantly determined the location of Morag through the information stored in the information base, and thoughtfully marked several forward routes on the star map.

"Morag? I knew your trip to the universe wouldn't be that simple. What's on it?"

Stark stared at the dazzling map in front of him for a while, and asked after taking a sip of wine subconsciously.

"During World War II, the Red Skull once obtained a cube with infinite power, and used that cube to create some weapons rich in space energy.

Later, with the further development of the war, the Red Skull was finally defeated by Captain America, and the cube fell into the Arctic Ocean with Steve Rogers.

Now that the cube has been obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D. with his appearance, the cube itself is not a product of the earth, but something similar to the manifestation of rules.

And on the planet Morag, there should also be such a treasure at this time."

Soon, after the navigation route was determined, the spaceship under him began to accelerate under Xiao Wu's operation, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a stream of light and moved quickly towards the star field in front.

However, Liang Yue and others did not feel any impact because of this.

"Are you referring to the Cosmic Cube? As far as I know, that thing does contain immeasurable power. That black egg director once consulted me on some technical issues regarding this thing.

I have seen it with my own eyes in a certain underground base of S.H.I.E.L.D. It seems to be a kind of ~ space power, or a collection of space rules."

Stark recalled the Cosmic Cube at this time, showing a face full of thought, and there was still a bit of incredulity in his eyes.

"The one we are going to get now is the gem about the law of power."

"The law of power? Which aspect?"

"Not very clear, maybe it involves the essence of physical abstract forces such as gravity and gravity. Studying that thing should be of great help to my cultivation.

Of course, I'm also very curious about that cube."

"It's unbelievable, this kind of thing shouldn't be common, right?"

"As far as I know, there are six similar items in the universe, of which the space and time gems are on Earth. If I get the power gem this time, that would be three.

In addition, there are mind, reality and soul gems."

"How come two of these precious things are on Earth?"

"Because Earth is very special, and its actual power is not weak."

"Are you referring to extraordinary power?"

"Yes, the post station we just left was established by Asgard to protect the earth."

"Why do they do this? Is there a story in this?"

"Regarding this point, you should have heard some legends in Norse mythology, and the core of that mythological history is the World Tree."

"The World Tree? Does that thing really exist?"

"To some extent, it depends on how you understand it. According to some information I currently know, the World Tree they are talking about seems to be a large network composed of countless space wormholes.

Space cracks, etc., their existence almost runs through the entire universe. If these things are connected together, they will present the shape of a somewhat abstract tree.

And this tree connects a total of nine countries, um~ maybe there were ten."

"Do you mean that Earth is within these nine countries?"

"Yes, and it is located in the most core position. Due to the existence of these space veins, the nine kingdoms have had close connections since a long time ago, and they can reach each other more conveniently through some special means.

Some myths and legends on our earth occasionally record their figures."

"Then… why is it Asgard?"

At this time, Meng Xiaoyu, who was behind Liang Yue, couldn't help but interject, with a strong curiosity on her delicate face.

"It seems to be because Odin, their current God King, was unprecedentedly powerful when he was young, and once led his daughter and the Asgard army to conquer the nine kingdoms.

He regards the World Tree and the Nine Kingdoms as a whole. As a powerful leader, he believes that he has an obligation to protect his sphere of influence.

In fact, it is precisely because of Asgard's protection that the earth has rarely been invaded by alien creatures for a long time in the past."

"Then what are the Transformers?"

Stark spread his hands at this time, with a face full of questions.

"Although the Transformer race seems to be quite destructive, they are nothing compared to real powerhouses, and they have their own natural limitations.

In addition, this seems to involve the origin of the earth. Before causing too much damage, it is not easy for the Asgardians to do anything to this race."

"Do you mean that the Transformers are not qualified to attract enough attention?"

"Almost~"

"Then is our earth really strong?"

"It's really not weak."

"Because, there are those mages?"

"Mages generally only deal with alien creatures that try to invade the earth across dimensions, such as the Hell Dimension, the Dark Dimension, etc., but there are more than just mages on Earth."

"Does our China also have this kind of power? Like you?"

"My mother is a hidden powerhouse, and I am a cultivator. In addition, there are many forces, but they generally ignore the world or hide among the people."

"Is cultivator a system? Does our country really have the power of immortals?"

"It's not clear yet. I started cultivating after I went abroad. I used to be just an ordinary high school student in China."

"Are you sure? Oh~ kid, don't tell me that your current strength, and those technologies, were all created in less than two years?"

"This is just the time you have seen. I remember telling you that I occasionally go to some special places to experience, and the time flow there is not equal to reality."

"… In other words, you are already an old guy, right?"

"The time I have really experienced is no less than yours."

"The reason why you look so young is because of cultivation? What realm have you reached now?"

"Golden Core Completion, the purpose of coming out this time is to find a quiet place to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve Nascent Soul."
