Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

It seems I was overthinking it. Having grown up in an environment like the Beasts Pirates, Rune wouldn't be so easily brainwashed. This girl isn't some naive fool. The only one in the Beasts Pirates who could possibly be brainwashed is Yamato, who's right next to me.

"Lord Rhodes, and Boss Kaido, my sister has already mastered the Holy Light energy. As for me, I'm still undergoing basic training. I estimate that it won't be long before I'm infused with Holy Light and then I'll be able to control the Holy Light energy," Page One said from the other end of the phone.

Life here is much more comfortable than that of the Beasts Pirates. With his strength, he is unmatched among all the trainees.

"Hmm! How's the situation on your end?" Rod asked.

"Not long ago, just like that, my sister and I have now followed the Knights of the Silver Hand to the Dark Portal, and are fighting the demon army here alongside the Alliance forces." Page One's voice came through a phone call.

According to Pedvan, Rhodes learned that Fel Lord Kazzak had led his demon army to attack Stormwind several times, causing huge losses to the Alliance.

Unable to tolerate this any longer, the Alliance leadership formed a coalition army consisting of humans, dwarves, and the newly joined Draenei, planning to soon launch an expedition to the outer world of Draenor.

Now, following the Knights of the Silver Hand, he has arrived at the Cursed Lands where the Dark Portal is located, and has begun a tug-of-war with the demon army there.

The Alliance acted quickly, and due to some changes made by the Horde, the Demon Lord Krull did not achieve his intended goal and died directly in Orgrimmar, even taking a Pit Lord with him.

But the Alliance wasn't so lucky. And the Alliance wasn't attacking just anyone; they were attacking Kazzak, the Fel Lord, the demon who single-handedly annihilated Stormwind. (Here's a funny tidbit: in the 60s version, when Kazzak was a world boss, if someone lured him to Stormwind, Stormwind was practically doomed.)

The Outland Expedition isn't something you can just conquer once you get there. According to the chronicles, the Alliance and the Horde fought for almost half a month.

They successfully seized control of the portal to Azeroth and launched an expedition there, only to be ambushed by the demon army immediately upon arrival.

The chronicles even explain that the demon army allowed the Azerothian alliance to pass through, otherwise the Azerothian alliance would never have been able to cross the Dark Portal.

If only one league is playing now, the pace of progress will undoubtedly be much slower.

"Is the demon leading the Dark Portal Kazzak?" Rhodes asked.

With the Demon Lord Krull defeated, the Burning Legion's highest commander on Azeroth must be Kazzak, right?

“Kazzak is just a demon general, on par with several other demon generals. The leader here is an Eredar fel lord named Azodon, who is extremely powerful,” Pagevan said.

Since arriving in the Blasted Lands, this Azodon has caused enormous losses to their Alliance. Even mages from Dalaran had to come to restrain him.

"Are you sure his name is Fel Lord Azoton?" Rhodes asked, quite surprised.

“That’s right, his name is Azoton. He’s a huge red demon with an octopus-tentacle-like chin. He’s an Eredar demon,” Page Van said.

"Hahaha! Interesting, interesting, I understand," Rhodes said.

If it really is him, then he's an old acquaintance! I didn't expect you to actually come to Azeroth. Now that you're here, I'll definitely go with you to meet Lord Azoton.

"Is there anything else?" Page Van asked.

“That’s all! You and your sister be careful and continue to follow the Alliance army,” Rhodes said.

“I understand. If we want to push the front line to the Dark Portal, we’ll probably have to fight for a long time,” Page One said.

The two parties disconnected the Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

Two days ago, Rhodes received a message from Thrall that the entire tribe would be embarking on an expedition to the Outer Realms in half a month, while the Beast Pirates were on the other side.

Upon receiving the letter from Thrall requesting reinforcements, Rhodes responded immediately without hesitation.

Tell him that Kaido and Sylvanas will lead an elite force to support his tribe in the battles and expeditions to the Outer Worlds, and that he will participate.

With Jaina's help, Thrall has decided to temporarily join the Alliance in an expedition to Outland, and various races of the Horde are now drawing troops from their ranks.

Stockpile war supplies in preparation for the expedition that will take place in half a month.

The orcs have too many attachments in the world of Draenor, and they must send a large army there no matter what.

"Rhodes, what are your plans? How many people are we taking to fight this time?" Kaido asked.

"The key to an army is quality, not quantity. Select two thousand people who have mastered rage or other professional energy, train them rigorously for half a month, and then lead them on an expedition to the outer realms," Rhodes said.

Anyway, those few are the main force, and the other soldiers are just there to do odd jobs.

"I understand, I'll go prepare the manpower right away," Kaido nodded and said.

"I plan to travel through the world for three days, and I will return after three days."

"Three days from now, when I return, we'll immediately head to Ironforge to prepare for the forging of new weapons for you," Rhodes said.

This time, Rhodes doesn't plan to bring anyone with him to the Marvel universe, not even Pudding; he'll be going alone.

Chapter 133 A Journey Through the Marvel Universe: The Invisible Enemy

Before the Burning Crusade, Rhodes plans to make a trip to the Marvel universe.

The Marvel universe is an extremely dangerous world, so one must be cautious in everything one does. The main purpose of this trip is to replenish the energy of the Space Stone.

Secondly, it was for the Extinction Potion, and if possible, Rhodes even wanted to capture Dr. Maiev, the inventor of the Extinction Potion.

The technology in the world of One Piece may seem very backward, but in fact, some places are full of all sorts of advanced technologies.

Rhodes wanted to try and see if he could replicate the Extinction Potion in the One Piece world.

"Didn't you promise to take us with you? Why are you going alone this time?" Kaido said.

Rhodes described that world as incredibly dangerous, and he wanted to see it for himself! Unexpectedly, Rhodes decided to go alone, and for only three days.

"Aren't you even taking me with you?" Sylvanas asked as she walked over.

We had agreed last time that we would go to the new world together, so why did this kid change his mind at the last minute?

"Yes! That world is more troublesome, really troublesome. Believe me, it's for the good of all of you."

"I'll keep a low profile in that world. Once I've achieved my goal, I'll return immediately, and if there's any danger, I'll leave right away," Rhodes said.

"Better safe than sorry" is a timeless and always true saying. There are some worlds where you can be carefree, but there are others where you really can't.

“I know your decision, and I don’t know what to say, plus I’ve been quite busy lately,” Sylvanas said.

There's still a ton of stuff to deal with in Undercity! Connecting the two worlds, the artificial Devil Fruits, the increase in the Forsaken, and the use of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit)—all of these things will take time for her.

“I’ll be back in three days at most, so don’t worry about me,” Rhodes said.

"Since you've made up your mind, then do as you please!" Kaido said.

It's only three days anyway.

After settling his subordinates, Rhodes did not hesitate and immediately activated his time travel ability to travel to the Marvel Universe. This time, his time was very limited.

With a burst of blue light, Rhodes vanished before Kaido and Sylvanas.

When it reappeared, it was a very familiar modern city, exactly the same place it had left.

The bustling modern city gave Rhodes a long-lost feeling of coming home. It was his first time traveling to the Marvel world, so Rhodes bought some commonly used technological items.

The second time, he risked infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. and used his invisibility to secretly absorb a large amount of the Space Stone's power.

After being transported to the Marvel universe, Rhodes immediately changed into modern clothes, walked out of the street, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Time was of the essence, so Rhodes didn't waste any time and headed straight for S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Last time, Rhodes could only use a potion of invisibility to become invisible, but now, with the power of the Wilderness Demigod, he can use a higher level of stealth to get there.

An hour later, Rhodey entered the interior of S.H.I.E.L.D. and, thanks to the invisibility potion, easily found his way to the place where the Tesseract was stored.

It seems S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defenses aren't very robust! Perhaps they haven't even considered how to deal with an invisible enemy.

When I came here last time, I only secretly absorbed some of the power of the Space Stone and didn't take anything with me, so it's understandable that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't find me.

Rhodes' palm touched the Cosmic Cube, and he began to mobilize the powerful spatial energy within it. He first filled the magic storage crystals that Sylvanas had given him, and then began to store energy towards the core of the Emerald Mark.

The last time Rhodes received his magic energy crystals, he bought them at a high price from the Stormwind shop, but Sylvanas provided him with even better magic crystals.

One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, and soon it got dark.

Some S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel began to leave work one after another, while Rhodes remained hidden in the location where the Space Stone was stored, using illusion spells to conceal himself.

Besides the energy from the Space Stone, Rhode also needs to find Gillian, the guy who invented the Extinction Potion. There should still be some time before the Battle of New York, and he should have already created the Extinction Potion.

One night later, around noon the next day, Rhode put away the magic crystals, intending to end the theft of the Space Stone's energy.

The jade mark contains less than 1/10 of the energy, but if it keeps absorbing, it probably won't be able to fill up even after three days and three nights.

The Emerald Dream Mark that Azeroth gave me has an incredibly high storage capacity; it truly lives up to the reputation of being the Soul of the Planet.

However, time is running out. I've already absorbed enough for a whole day, and it's time to leave. When I come back next time, I'll get my hands on all six Infinity Stones.

"Sir, the Tesseract's energy has been very active since last night, but unfortunately, our instruments still can't detect any problems." Nick Fury's secretary was reporting to him in his office.

"Hmm! When was the last time something like this happened?" Nick Fury asked, stroking his chin.

"About a few months ago, the Cosmic Cube's energy became abnormally active, but it returned to normal immediately after only one hour."

After that, there was no further activity, but starting yesterday at noon, the Cosmic Cube's energy became unusually active. "Hill said.

It was incredibly strange. The Cosmic Cube inexplicably started to become active, but when they sent people to investigate, they found nothing unusual.

"This is an unknown force that we humans cannot control. The Tesseract contains terrifying energy," said a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist standing nearby.

In the eyes of these scientists, it was not strange that the Cosmic Cube suddenly became energetic.

After all, from the monitoring room, you can see that everything in the Cosmic Cube is normal, and if you send someone over to check, everything is normal as well.

"Commander Nick, what do you think?" Hill asked his superior, who had a bald head.

"The Cosmic Cube suddenly became active. You say this is an unnatural phenomenon, and it is likely a coincidence."

"But I don't believe in coincidences. Once is a coincidence, but twice is definitely not, and this time it actually lasted all night." Nick Fury stood up and said.

"But sir, we sent people in to check, and everything is normal where the Cosmic Cube is stored. All the instruments are working properly."

"The only problem is that its energy is quite active," Hill said.

“Let’s go, let’s go over there again. I need to confirm some things,” Nick Fury said, standing up.

As a top-tier agent, he doesn't believe in coincidences; he only trusts his intuition.

Soon, Nick Fury led a group of agents to the room where the Tesseract was kept.

At this moment, Rhodes had just finished stealing the Space Stone's energy and was about to leave.

Upon seeing Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with his signature bald head, Rhode immediately stepped aside and quietly hid.

Could they have discovered me? That shouldn't be the case! A demigod's stealth ability is undetectable to mortals.

"Look! Sir, everything is normal, and the Tesseract has returned to normal. Its energy has stabilized again, and the readings show everything is normal." After examining some instruments, a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist shrugged helplessly at Nick Fury and said.

“Check all the surveillance footage again, then seal off the entire room,” Nick Fury said.

An agent next to him nodded and immediately began to operate the system. Instantly, alarms sounded throughout the room, and then the door was locked.
