The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 304 Evolution itself is a kind of enjoyment

After Worldmind spent several days connecting the nova energy to the battleship, Zhan Liu ordered the troops to gather, start space jumps, and set sail for the planet Sovereign.

He still remembered the Sovereign drone attacking Zhan Liu for no reason and causing him to fly in the air for two days. Zhan Liu was not happy if he didn't go there and teach them a lesson.

There are many factors that have influenced this matter to the point it has come to this, and it is the result of multiple reasons.

This was all caused by the drone pilots. If they hadn't fired a shot at Zhan Liu's spacecraft, nothing would have happened afterwards.

In fact, the two sides passed each other, and the time window was very short. The drones only had time to attack casually and then passed by. But it happened that the shot hit the motor, causing Zhan Liu's spacecraft to shut down.

If it wasn't a drone, Zhan Liu would have killed the pilot on the spot and his anger would have subsided. He wouldn't have gone to Sovereign Planet specifically to kill them.

But on the other hand, if those fighter jets were not drones but were driven by real pilots, they might not so recklessly provoke the "wild monsters" on the roadside and would most likely be much more cautious.

A variety of reasons have led to the current result, and Star Sovereign is doomed.

After the spaceship set sail, with the approval of Zhan Liu, the main control computer on the battleship was taken over by Worldmind. Then he began to advertise on the entire battleship and began to recruit new candidates for the Nova Corps.

Some people discard it like a worn-out shoe, while others seek it but cannot obtain it.

There are people who are coveting things that Zhan Liu and Valkyrie look down upon.

Although there is space jump, it is still a long journey to Sovereign, and the spacecraft will take a long time to sail. During these long days, everyone is idle anyway, so it is also very beneficial to improve their strength. Therefore, the hall where the worldmind server is located is constantly visited by visitors.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nebula, you don't meet the selection criteria for the Nova Corps." Worldmind's cold voice rang out in the empty hall.

"Why?" Xingyun was furious when she heard this. "If Valkyrie can do it, why can't I?"

Valkyrie is the first person to become a Nova Corps soldier, and she is the Centurion Director right from the start, which is even stronger than the Centurion. In fact, if she is willing to take on the responsibility of rebuilding Xandar, she can become the new Queen of Xandar.

When Valkyrie received the energy infusion, she did not hide from the crowd, but completed it in the hall under the watchful eyes of the crowd. After becoming a rising star warrior, Valkyrie wanted to compete with other masters.

Nebula and Gamora teamed up to fight Valkyrie, but the Valkyrie's strength had increased dramatically, and she easily defeated the two with a single try.

Of course, Zhan Liu still did not take this little bit of power seriously. What he cared about was that after becoming a Nova Warrior, Valkyrie could move freely in the starry sky with the help of the Nova Corps combat uniform. Next time the spaceship ran aground again, he would not have to carry it and fly.

It was also because of Valkyrie's stimulation that Nebula came to Worldmind without hesitation, hoping to obtain this power.

Nebula is serious about the pursuit of power.

She was very sure that as long as she obtained the nova energy, she could easily defeat her sister Gamora and completely break the curse of being suppressed by Gamora forever.

But no matter how much she planned, she never expected that Worldmind would not want her.

"Ms. Xingyun, the Nova Energy not only has requirements on the physical fitness of the warrior, but also on the character. If the character is not suitable, forcing the Nova Energy to be used will cause adverse consequences. But unfortunately, I don't think your character can accept the Nova Energy."

"What?" Xingyun was so angry that she was shaking. She turned around a few times and panted for a long time before she said resolutely: "If you are willing to give me the Nova Energy, I can promise to help you rebuild Xandar."

"I am the most suitable one. Half of my body is mechanical. I will have no problem receiving your data!"

However, her little plan could not fool Worldmind at all, and he was not moved at all.

"There is naturally a suitable person to carry out the reconstruction of Xandar, but that person is not you."

Nebula didn't achieve her goal and left angrily. When she left this floor, she met Gamora who came for the same purpose at the corner.

"Hmph, Gamora, you betrayed Thanos, he won't let you go!"

"You too, Nebula."

Nebula just said something harsh, but was held back by Gamora. Her face changed, and she felt more and more aggrieved. Although she herself did not think that she had betrayed Thanos, outsiders did not think so, and even Thanos might not think so.

"It seems that you didn't get the nova energy. Is the requirement of that mechanical life very high?"

Gamora's concerned words sounded particularly harsh to Nebula's ears.

"Stop being so hypocritical!"

"You should just take care of yourself!"

"Don't think that no one knows about the secret affairs between you and that pretty boy!"

"If you anger Zhan Liu, no one will be able to save you!"

Nebula left angrily, and Gamora couldn't help feeling sad.

She and Nebula had a good relationship when they were young, but under Thanos' training, they gradually became estranged and hatred grew. There is only one way to completely solve this problem, and that is to kill Thanos!

But Thanos is too powerful, and the hope of killing him is too slim. Now, after all the hard work, Gamora has finally found a person who may pose a threat to Thanos, and of course she will not miss it.

To this end, she is willing to betray her fellow Guardians of the Galaxy.

Although she had only joined the Guardians of the Galaxy for a few days, she hit it off with Quill and the others and they became close friends. Therefore, she could not sit idly by and watch Quill and the others fall into danger.

During these days, Quill and the others have been secretly doing a lot of small things. If the warship wasn't filled with people with ulterior motives, this group of unreliable former companions would have been exposed long ago.

Gamora sighed and didn't bother to think about Nebula anymore. She just wanted to improve her own strength first. Thanos could appear at any time. The stronger she was now, the greater her chances of dealing with Thanos in the future.

"Congratulations, Miss Gamora, you will become a Centurion of the Nova Corps."

"Why not Director Centurion? I don't think my strength is inferior to that Valkyrie." Gamora moved her body, getting familiar with the unfamiliar energy.

"Centurion Director is not limited to being powerful, and there will only be one Centurion Director in a Nova Corps. You are late, Miss Gamora."

"Why would you reject Xingyun? Her strength is not inferior to mine."

"Her character is not compatible with the Nova energy. If she rashly becomes a Nova Warrior, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Character?"

"That's right. In fact, there are only a handful of people on this battleship who can pass the Nova Corps assessment, and most people fail."

Gamora lowered her head and thought for a moment, then recalled the small number of the Nova Corps, confirming that what Worldmind said was true, and that they were not deliberately rejecting Nebula.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little concerned about my sister, please forgive me."

"I understand. If Miss Xingyun can care about her sister as much as you care about her, then she can also meet my selection criteria."

Gamora smiled bitterly, shook her head, and left. It was easy to obtain the nova energy, but it would take a lot of practice to master it. While there was no battle, she would spend more time on it.

Unlike Valkyrie who was drunk all day, Gamora felt a much greater sense of urgency than ordinary people. Thanos' existence was like a mountain, pressing heavily on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Valkyrie's enemy, the goddess of death Hela, had long been suppressed by Odin. Although she also longed for power, she was not urgent.

For a drunk cat, what is more important in this world than drinking?

"Haha... did you see that? You've become a famous villain in the universe, Thanos's subordinate..."

Valkyrie held the bottle in one hand and poured wine into her mouth, while she hugged Zhan Liu with the other hand and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Not far in front of the two people, an extra-large holographic projection screen was broadcasting cosmic news.

Because of quantum communication, the battle on Xandar was almost broadcast live.

As the headquarters of the Nova Corps, the guardian of the Andromeda constellation, the destruction of Xandar was a huge event in the entire universe. The media on major planets have been repeatedly broadcasting the scene of the final battle that day.

While people marveled at Queen Adora's power, they were even more terrified at Zhan Liu who easily defeated Adora.

Due to the lack of information about Zhan Liu, all the personal information about Zhan Liu that was repeatedly broadcast by major media outlets came from the wanted notice of Sovereign Star. The rest of the content was basically based on the media's random speculation and exaggeration.

And because of the existence of Nebula and Gamora, many people classified Zhan Liu as part of Thanos's party, believing that he was the new general of the Dark Legion, and that the Black Order of the Five was about to become the Black Order of the Six.

This statement was widely affirmed by most media, and the only two parties who could oppose this statement were not interested in dealing with those nonsense media. But there was no doubt that although Zhan Liu and Thanos would not talk nonsense in front of the media, they would inevitably have such a battle.

Zhan Liu kidnapped Thanos' two daughters, including his beloved, which is something Thanos will never tolerate. If Zhan Liu wants to get rid of the misunderstanding of being Thanos's subordinate, what method is more convincing than killing Thanos?

Nebula and Gamora are both happy with the current situation. Nebula needs to lure Thanos to rescue her, while Gamora hopes to lure Thanos out of his lair, have a conflict with Zhan Liu, and then find an opportunity to kill Thanos.

Both of them were betting, but one was betting on Thanos to win, and the other was betting on Zhan Liu to win.

Zhan Liu didn't care about the two people's little thoughts. If he had that time, he might as well study the power gem.

"Go away, don't join in the fun here." Zhan Liu pushed Valkyrie away with disdain, "Your mouth stinks of alcohol, go somewhere else and get drunk."

"What's the point of studying this broken stone all day? You are so strong now, even Odin may not be able to beat you. It is important to enjoy yourself more!" Valkyrie staggered to the ground, muttering.

"Stupid!" Zhan Liu glanced at her with disdain. "Strength is always relative. The universe is so vast. If you haven't reached the multiverse level, what qualifications do you have to say you are strong?"

“Continuously climbing up the food chain and constantly improving one’s life level is a kind of enjoyment in itself.”

"In this world, is there anything more exciting than watching yourself move up the food chain step by step?"

"So-called money, power, glory, and reputation... Could it be that they would make people happier than taking the life, soul, dignity, and even the fate of others into their hands and manipulating them at will?"

"Chess pieces have their own happiness, but after being a chess player, I will never willingly degenerate back to being a chess piece again!"

"For a top predator standing at the top of the food chain, its existence itself is a kind of enjoyment."

"Absolute freedom, no restraints, no natural enemies, no harm, infinite lifespan..."

"These are not obtained out of thin air, but need to be accumulated bit by bit in daily life. Otherwise, when the opportunity comes, it will be too late to regret if you find that you are not prepared."

Valkyrie held the bottle of wine, thinking of the battle that destroyed the Valkyries. The wine that entered her mouth suddenly became tasteless. She threw the bottle away, stood up staggeringly, and walked outside.

Zhan Liu did not continue to make noise, just saying what he wanted to say. As for whether Valkyrie would regain her fighting spirit in the future, he did not care. If Valkyrie could realize something, he would not mind taking in another alien disciple.

The cells in his body were still being constantly destroyed and regenerated by the Power Stone, and after so many days of repeated operations, subtle changes gradually occurred in his body cells.

This change did not come from the power gem, but from the space eye on his forehead that had been strengthened by the power of the space gem. Since the appearance of this eye, except for playing a role in the magic barrier of the Supreme Sanctuary and Loki's illusion magic, it has been useless.

Lian Zhan Liu didn’t think this thing was useful, but after being stimulated by the spatial power and the power gem in the wound, the spatial power contained in his third eye gradually integrated into his genes.

When a person's genes change, it affects not only the person themselves, but also the next generation. Zhan Liu's genes had already changed many times in the process of evolution, so he didn't care if they changed again.

Although it is not known whether this change is good or bad, the entanglement and fusion with the power of the Space Gem seems to be good, so Zhan Liu not only did not stop this change, but instead increased his efforts to promote the fusion of the two.

Anyway, he can now change his genes freely and remember the genetic map before the change. If the result of the change does not meet his needs, he can change it back.

While Zhan Liu was gradually evolving, Quill was also evolving inside the battleship.

"Huh... This feeling of power is really intoxicating!"

With the infusion of the Nova Power, Quill's bloodline belonging to the Celestials was also activated. His hidden bloodline originally from his father's side was initially awakened due to the flushing of the Power Gem. Now he has obtained unlimited Nova Power from Worldmind, and accidentally activated the bloodline belonging to Ego.

Ego's true form is a planet that can strengthen itself by absorbing the life force of various life planets. As his son, Quill can absorb almost endless nova energy.

"What a surprise!" Worldmind showed its projected body and looked at Quill who was constantly absorbing the energy of the nova with fascination.

"I never thought you would possess such an ancient and powerful bloodline. You and Nova Energy are a perfect match!"

"Quil, you are the one that Nova Field has been waiting for for eons!"

"You are more suitable for the Nova energy than Zhan Liu. You will become the only Nova Emperor!"

After Worldmind finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then rushed into Quill's brain without Quill's consent.

Quill was startled, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a vast amount of knowledge rushing in like a torrent, pouring into his brain.

I don't know what technology Worldmind uses. Although Quill has received a huge amount of knowledge, he didn't feel any pain at all. But at the same time, he didn't feel that his knowledge and wisdom had improved at all. If he wanted to check the information, he had to search it.

"What did you do?" Quill was shocked and angry.

"You have been chosen by the Nova field. All Nova energy has been anchored with you." Worldmind explained calmly.

"You can use all the Nova energy instead of the tiny Centurion-level energy I gave you before."

"Your current regular combat power has far surpassed the overloaded combat power that Queen Adora used in her final battle that day."

"In this battleship, besides Zhan Liu, you are the most powerful life."

Quill reached out his hand half-believingly and mobilized the new star energy he had just obtained. A huge energy instantly responded and poured into his body from another dimension. A huge beam of light burst out from his hand and instantly pierced a big hole in the ceiling of the battleship above his head.

Quill was startled and hurriedly retracted the energy. But it was too late, the energy had already penetrated more than a dozen layers of plywood and almost completely penetrated the entire battleship.

The battleship's alarm sounded instantly, and everyone was in chaos.

Quill carefully stuck his head out and looked up through the huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters above his head. He saw that all the matter within his sight had been vaporized. At the edge of the deck, there was a large amount of molten metal dripping down like water droplets.

There were many brave people at the edge of each floor, holding weapons and exploring. Many of them looked at Quill and without saying a word, they started shooting at him. Others followed suit and began to attack.

Quill subconsciously shrank his head and hid from everyone's sight, but then all kinds of heavy weapons such as grenades and rocket launchers fell from above.

Quill leaped behind a server and lay there with his butt sticking out. He held his head in his hands, trembling and mumbling:

"Uh... I'm in trouble, what should I do?"

“There are no cameras on this floor, right?”

"I will never admit it. How about you help me to bear false witness?"

Worldmind sighed in Quill's mind and explained to this host who had no awareness of being a strong person:
"Your current body has been strengthened by the nova energy and is completely immune to damage from these thermal weapons."

"Besides, this battleship is full of scum. Their death will not violate the laws of Xandar, although the law is of little use here."

"Except for the supreme ruler of this battleship, the Earth Martial God Zhan Liu, no one else on this battleship can defeat you, so why should you worry about being punished?"

"You just need to explain the situation to Zhan Liu and tell him that it was all a misunderstanding. I will testify for you and I'm sure he won't make things difficult for you."

Quill was stunned, "Really?"

He first took out a knife and cut his arm, and then was surprised to find that the sharp knife could not break through his skin at all. Then he took out an energy gun and shot his calf. After finding that he was safe, he tentatively stretched out his hand and felt the force of the grenade and grenade explosion on his arm.

After confirming that he was really immune to damage from thermal weapons, Quill finally stood up with confidence, walked to his original position with a swagger, looked up and raised his middle finger to the Kree warriors and raiders who were constantly attacking him from above.

"Scumbags!"

"Did you not eat?"

"Are you using this kind of shotgun to set off firecrackers for fun? Get something bigger!"

"Ha ha……"

Quill proudly challenged the ordinary soldiers above, which caused them to curse. But the people above were all experienced veterans, and they soon realized that their attacks could not hurt Quill at all.

Combined with the location of the floor below, it is easy to determine that Quill received the Nova energy and became a Nova Warrior.

Many raiders who already knew Quill were surprised to find that Quill had become so powerful.

They attributed this transformation to the Nova energy, and became more eager to become Nova Warriors.

Quill didn't feel proud for long, because suddenly a figure flashed by from above, and a man swooped down from the top and kicked him in the head.

Although Quill had become a top warrior, his combat awareness was still far behind. Facing the sudden attack, although he was able to react, he had no intention of counterattacking. He subconsciously threw himself to the side, rolled over, and hid to the side in a panic.

The people who were cursing Quill above their heads, seeing him, who was so majestic just now, now in such an embarrassed state, all burst into laughter at the same time, and then all kinds of mocking words and whistles were heard.

But Quill was always shameless, so he just pretended not to hear the laughter. After getting up from the ground, he focused all his attention on the Valkyrie that was attacking him.
