In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

The collector's residence is located deep within the skull of the Void, a giant domed building isolated from the bustling market streets outside.

The space inside wasn't small, but it felt a bit cramped because of the rows of living organism containment pods and countless ancient metal containers.

The faint bluish-green light prevented the dimly lit room from being completely pitch black.

Upon arriving at the collector's residence, the group met the collector there.

He was an old man wearing a dark purple-black robe, with disheveled silver hair, pale blue skin, and an elegant, relaxed demeanor, like a noble scholar.

Besides the collector, there was another unexpected presence—he was wearing worn blue armor with an old cloak over it, making it impossible to see his face.

Upon seeing the group of visitors, the mysterious guest, who had seemed to be discussing something with the collector, paused for a moment, then stepped back a few paces to make room for them, indicating that they should go first.

Star-Lord glanced at the other person, said nothing, and simply walked straight up to the collector to explain his purpose.

"The position of the highest evolution?"

The collector glanced thoughtfully at Rocket Raccoon. "I do have a way to find it, but what can you give me?"

Upon hearing the answer he wanted, Rocket could no longer contain himself and unleashed a torrent of alien technology and rare prosthetic limbs that he had collected and dismantled over the years.

However, the collector was not interested in these; in his view, they had no collectible value. Instead, it was Groot that caught his attention. "The Flora Colossus... is a fine collectible."

"You're dreaming!"

Rocket Raccoon was so angry he almost cursed, and Drax stepped forward to shield Groot behind him.

"Okay, then..."

The collector's gaze swept over Galactus; he would devour him if he dared to mention Galactus.

The collector then glanced at Wayne, who was examining his collection. Wayne was even more formidable, but at least not like Galactus, whom there was no room for negotiation. "Sir, do you sell Reality Stones?"

Everyone in the universe with even a little bit of information knows what the capital M means. The Collector recognized Wayne's identity the moment he walked in.

Otherwise, just because the Guardians of the Galaxy interrupted his deal with someone else, he wouldn't have given Star-Lord and the others a pleasant look.

"The Reality Stone?!"

Having already witnessed the terror of the Power Stone and knowing of the existence of the Infinity Stones, the Guardians of the Silver all stared at Wayne.

Peter and Harry, who didn't know much about these things, also understood how extraordinary Wayne's battle suit was after Gwen's explanation.

"Oh?"

Wayne casually tossed down a black metal container. "You've got your eye on my stuff?"

"Sir, you're joking. It's just a normal transaction."

Although Wayne's strength is terrifying, his reputation in the universe is not bad—the collector was aware of this, which is why he dared to make the transaction request.

He knew that as long as he didn't have any ulterior motives and was just having normal business discussions, there was a high probability that he wouldn't anger the other party.

Hearing the collector's unusually polite tone, Wayne chuckled.

He couldn't possibly give away the Ether particles, since he could find the location of the Supreme Evolution at a glance; he only didn't go directly there to play with the others.

However, Wayne would not accept being "stuck" like this.

"You owe me one."

Upon hearing Wayne's words, Star-Lord and Rocket could hardly believe their ears. Rocket Raccoon, so excited, was practically jumping around and almost pounced on Wayne's leg.

But the rational Gamora still didn't understand. How long had they known each other? Were they close enough for someone to give up the Reality Stone?

Fortunately, she got the answer in the next moment.

"Will you accept this?"

Wayne used faster-than-light speed to cross most of the Milky Way in less than 0.1 seconds and flew back to Earth to retrieve the time machine from the dead Kang.

"??!"

The collector was momentarily stunned upon seeing the item. He glanced discreetly at the blue-armored figure standing in the corner, then smiled and said, "Of course, sir. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

The collector who accepted the time instrument placed it into a black metal container, indicating that he would soon be able to help everyone find the location of the Supreme Evolution.

Thinking that he should treat Wayne to a big meal while waiting, even though it wouldn't be enough to repay the favor, he at least wanted to express his gratitude. Star-Lord offered to mention that he knew a restaurant in the Void that served good food.

Peter and Harry, who had never tried alien food before, also clamored to go, so Wayne simply gave in to their wishes.

Watching Wayne and the others leave, the mysterious guest also walked out, leaving the collector with the words, "Sorry, the deal is canceled."

The collector simply shrugged, not paying much attention, since he had just acquired what the other person wanted most.

……

After leaving the collector's residence, the mysterious guest, Kang, the blue-armored warrior who was being hunted, caught up with Wayne and his group.

"etc!"

Kang, clad in blue armor, called out to the crowd and, amidst the puzzled looks of the others and Wayne's thoughtful gaze, removed the hood of his cape.

As Kang in blue armor opened his helmet, the face that was revealed was different from the other Kangs.

It was the face of a mixed-race Black man with a large bald head.

"I am also a Kang, but don't misunderstand, I am not with the other Kangs."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Ganata became wary, like a cat with its fur standing on end. It was only after hearing the second half that she stopped exploding.

"Seeing this gentleman produce a time-manipulating device that belongs to Kang, I imagine he must have stolen it from another Kang, right? That's truly amazing!"

Kang, clad in blue armor, awkwardly tried to strike up a conversation with the others, but Wayne only had one question: "What's your name?"

Most of the conquerors of the universe, Kang, were originally named "Nathaniel Richards," while a few had other names, so "Kang" was not their original name.

Kang, in blue armor, was taken aback by Wayne's first question, but then honestly answered, "My name is Anzhui Kai, you can just call me Anzhui."

A realization dawned on Wayne's eyes—this was indeed not Conqueror Kang, but Anzhui Kang!

"Don't you have a good brother?"

"Brother, how did you know?"

"Just a guess."

An Zhui scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it and went straight to asking the question that concerned him most, "Um... Brother, can I come with you?"
