This war not only caused the destruction and extinction of countless races, but also left the two gods utterly disappointed in these races.

In their fury, the two gods abandoned the planet and the races they had created.

Because of the war, the planet's resources were greatly reduced, and various races suffered heavy losses. They began to migrate through teleportation arrays, and in the end, only some without teleportation arrays or some remnants remained in this world.

After countless changes, the ancient traditions have been almost completely severed, resulting in the situation we see today.

"It seems that the ancient civilizations on this planet have almost exhausted the high-quality crystals that can be used as energy for teleportation portals. Because of the loss of high-quality energy, even civilizations with legacies have gradually lost contact with the main lineages that have migrated away from here, and have eventually declined completely... But this is not good news!" After listening to the ancient legends about this planet compiled by his subordinates, Josie glanced at the Krim crystal in his hand, which he had obtained from the ruins he came from. It was now very dim and might be the only remaining Krim crystal that could be used as energy for interstellar teleportation arrays. He sighed and said.

“Yes, without crystals of this grade, those interstellar teleportation arrays would be useless, and even the dominance over this planet wouldn’t be able to be maintained properly! But if what you’re saying about Steve Rogers has indeed happened, then it means there must be a second crystal of this grade!” Howard Duck nodded.

"It's hard to say. What if he used a low-quality portal? Although a low-quality portal can't last for more than a few minutes, it's enough for one person to pass through!" Josie shook her head slightly.

That makes sense, Howard Duck shrugged helplessly.

"Now we just have to see if Narasas can bring us good news!" Since the existing land-based Krim crystal mines can't produce high-quality crystals, Josie can only place her hopes on the ocean.

If he can't find crystals of sufficient quality, he'll have no choice but to temporarily abandon the planet, leaving only a portion of his legion to continue ruling it, awaiting his return at some unknown time.

“Perhaps we can find some other, better energy sources to replace this crystal!” Howard Duck suggested.

"No, the research team has already tried it. What's needed to drive these teleportation arrays isn't just a huge amount of energy, but also energy with a certain spatial attribute. Spatial attribute energy isn't easy to find... Hmm? Wait a minute!" Josie suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Howard Duck couldn't help but ask when he saw Josie's expression.

"I just remembered, there really is an excellent energy source on Earth with spatial properties, but it's been so long that I almost forgot about it!" Josie rubbed her forehead and said with a self-deprecating smile.

"What is it?" Howard Duck asked curiously.

"The Tesseract, also known as the Space Stone, is what brought Steve Rogers to this planet... and compared to the Krim Crystal, that thing has inexhaustible energy!" Josie laughed happily.

“Oh, that sounds like a great find!” Howard Duck raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, downing the tea in his cup in one gulp. He used to be a heavy drinker, but after spending time with Josie and Xu Wenwu, he had come to enjoy tea.

Although Peggy Carter, one of the original S.H.I.E.L.D. veterans from the original timeline, was no longer influencing S.H.I.E.L.D., the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. after its establishment was still located in the military base in New Jersey where Captain America had once trained.

The protective measures here are very thorough, but they are meaningless to Josie right now.

Because Josie arrived in the evening, she happened to see Howard Stark being picked up from get off work and taken home by his butler Jarvis.

"Sorry, Howard!" Josie raised an eyebrow as she watched the car leave, then silently stepped into the elevator leading underground.

A few minutes later, holding the Power Stone, he used the mutual resonance between the Infinity Stones to find the safe containing the Tesseract deep within the underground base.

With a squeeze of his hand, the safe's door turned into a lump of scrap metal.

"Beautiful baby, I'm so sorry I forgot about you for so long!" Josie smiled as she looked at the crystal-clear Rubik's Cube.

"I don't know why, but I feel a bit uneasy today!" Howard said, rubbing his head as he sat in the back seat of the car.

“Sir, I think you’re exhausted. You haven’t had a proper rest for a week while building that reactor!” Jarvis said, glancing at Howard’s tired face in the rearview mirror.

"There's no other way, that might be our only hope of catching up with Austria!" Howard couldn't help but sigh.

If we're talking about how Josie is constantly raising the world's technological standards, especially Austria's, then who's under the most pressure? Without a doubt, it's Howard.

Because of his reputation as a genius, almost all the pressure from the United States was directed at him.

Not to mention that he also has to be responsible for many S.H.I.E.L.D.-related matters.

So in order to devote more energy to research, he has been gradually relinquishing some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power over the past few years—even though it doesn't seem very wise.

Even so, he was exhausted every day, like a dog.

"And more than rest, I think I need to relax!" Howard suddenly perked up and said just as Jarvis was about to continue persuading him.

...Okay, Howard is still Howard, he really will die without women.

“…If you really need it, I found a newly opened upscale club when I came here…” Jarvis sighed, and then said.

"Great idea, let's go there!" Howard clapped his hands in approval.

Seeing this, Jarvis sighed helplessly, then changed direction and drove towards the location of the club.

Upon arriving at the club, Howard was quickly surrounded by flowers.

His fame was so great that countless women wanted to spend the night with him.

Howard disagreed and immediately picked the four that he liked the most!

Just as he was having fun, his cell phone rang—because the technological history of the Earth had become completely chaotic. Although cell phones in the true sense had not yet become popular, cell phones appeared more than 20 years ahead of schedule.

Although the price is high, it's a piece of cake for someone of Howard's stature.

However, Howard, who was "busy" at the moment, obviously did not want to answer the phone, but the phone kept ringing, so he could only signal to a young woman next to him who was helping him to get the phone.

"Mr. Howard, you must return to the base immediately! The Tesseract has been stolen!" The gentle woman pressed the answer button and placed the receiver to Howard's ear. The anxious voice of the base guard officer immediately came through.

The Tesseract has been stolen? Howard, who was engrossed in playing poker, was furious when he heard the news.

Without even bothering to clean up, she threw away her protective gear, straightened her clothes, and rushed out the door.

As soon as he left, the eyes of the women in the room immediately focused on the ace, which they had forgotten to clean up because they were in a hurry to leave.

Although Howard has countless poker games to his name, he always cleans up carefully after each game... After all, playing is one thing, but you can't joke around with your ace.

So all these years, they still don't have a child.

But this time, due to the urgency of the situation, he forgot about it again.

The four women inside the house understood perfectly what these trump cards represented.

Although there aren't many of these trump cards, if the four of them share them, they can still manage to get a few. As for whether these trump cards will be effective, that depends on their fate!

Chapter 318 Etania

Not to mention the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, which was thrown into complete chaos by the theft of the Tesseract.

After obtaining the Cosmic Cube, Josie immediately returned to Origin Star to test whether the cube could be used—Origin Star was a name Josie casually gave to this world.

If this planet is truly the origin of many civilizations and races, as legend has it, then this name is entirely fitting.

However, Josie didn't use the teleportation array that led to Earth.

After all, these are Infinity Stones.

Don't be fooled by the fact that various Krim Crystals couldn't support the power consumption of the teleportation array before; if we were to use the Space Stone now, the situation might be reversed.

Although the Space Stone is the relatively "mild" of the Infinity Stones, Josie couldn't be sure if the teleportation array could withstand it.

So Josie decided to try using the teleportation array in the ruins where Lyca's tribe was located.

As Josie placed the Infinity Stone into the niche containing the energy source, the Space Stone was instantly activated, and boundless energy began to flow into the teleportation array. The interstellar portal formed almost instantly in the air and appeared to be very stable.

"Looks like it worked!" Howard the Duck exclaimed in amazement.

"It looks really good! We don't have to worry about energy anymore, and we can also see where the remaining teleportation arrays lead to!" Josie nodded in satisfaction.

However, at that moment, the activated interstellar portal began to fluctuate.

"What's going on?" Howard the Duck asked, puzzled.

"Something's coming from over there!" Josie said, squinting at the teleportation portal.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge and ferocious head burst out of the portal and let out a loud roar at Josie and the others below.

"What the hell is this?" Howard Duck was startled.

Josie remained silent, the sword Ea appearing in her hand. With a gentle sweep, the roaring behemoth's head fell off, and dark green liquid instantly splattered throughout the teleportation hall.

"Ugh... Disgusting!" Howard the Duck couldn't help but gag upon smelling the odor.

"Clean this place up!" Josie said to the robot guard beside her, and immediately a large group of robots began cleaning the teleportation hall.

"How about we go take a look together?" Josie asked, looking at Howard the Duck who was covering his mouth and nose.

Howard nodded without saying a word.

Then Josie, along with his assistant Bresta, leaped into the portal.

Unlike the teleportation arrays on Earth and Origin Star, which are located deep within the ruins, the teleportation array that Josie and her group encountered this time, although also located within the ruins, was a rare open-air one.

However, like the ruins on Origin Star, this one also looks like it has been abandoned for a long time and has become a den of giant beasts—yes, I'm talking about the unlucky guy whose head was just chopped off by Josie.

But who can blame him for settling down somewhere else?

It was just bad luck for it to run into Josie and her group.

Upon discovering that the place was merely an uninhabited ruin occupied by giant beasts, Josie naturally seized it without hesitation and began to mobilize troops, habitually dispatching several satellite-type Transformers into space.

But this time, Josie miscalculated.

Several Transformers that had just taken to the sky were instantly destroyed by attacks launched from space.

"...Oh dear, looks like we're in a bit of trouble!" Seeing several Transformers destroyed in an instant, Josie knew that this world was probably not as simple as Origin Planet.

Sure enough, just minutes after the Transformers were destroyed, a sizable high-tech army sped toward the portal and launched an attack on the robot army that was conducting exploration missions on the periphery.

The outcome of the battle surprised Josie greatly—just a few minutes into the battle, his robot forces completely lost contact.

There is only one possible reason for this: his army has been completely wiped out.

Furthermore, based on the information transmitted back by the robot unit commander before the army lost contact, it can be known that the main force of the enemy legion was also robots!

This was the first time Josie had encountered such a situation, which surprised him slightly.

After all, this was the first time his troops had suffered such a huge loss.
