American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 162 Guardians of the Galaxy

On Clark Island, in Li Buying's room, a flash of light appeared, and he reappeared inside. His gaze swept across the entire room, briefly recalling what had happened before he left. Then, he prepared once again to head to a new world, or perhaps to the previous starry world for further cultivation.

Li Buying wanted to find a way to upgrade Ai Yi's external equipment in the new world. If there wasn't a new world that interested him, he would try to completely destroy a planet in the Starry Sky World, or go to the No Man's Land to cause trouble for that so-called evil god.

However, just before he was about to leave, a unique and familiar powerful bio-field was approaching him. He stopped his departure, opened the window, and peered out at Ganata Garan, who was hidden in the clouds.

Having found her target, the purple-haired girl floated down from the sky and flew into the window, taking off her sun hat and saying, "Hi, long time no see. Your country is doing quite well."

Li Buying shrugged and invited the bewildered Ganata out of her room: "This isn't my country. I just live here. You've come to ask me for energy?"

"Or maybe I just wanted to chat with you?"

Ganata rolled her eyes at Li Buying, reaching out for energy while secretly marveling at his growth—it had only been a few months since she last came to ask for energy, yet the aura Li Buying exuded was already the same as hers when she hadn't eaten.

Then, Li Buying took out the Holy Ark and handed it to the unappetizing girl in front of her. She decided to postpone her trip to the New World until she had dealt with this guy.

"Oh, right," Ganata said casually as she sat down on the sofa, absorbing energy while looking up at Li Buying, "I always feel a little embarrassed to borrow energy from you. Would you like me to take you to other planets? We can also buy some local specialties."

Taking a deep breath and absorbing the energy from the Holy Ark, Ganata seemed a little troubled. Half a month ago, her appetite fluctuated and began to rise again, mainly due to the struggle outside Earth.

That's right, the battle between Li Buying and Black Phoenix had a great impact on her, and the originally scheduled time for her to regain her appetite was once again extended.

"Other planets? Didn't you say you've been living in seclusion on Earth?"

Ganata seemed quite self-assured about the contradictions in her statements:

"Yes, to ensure that my identity as 'a god born from the corpse of a god' is not discovered by unknown enemies, I have been living in seclusion on Earth. But that doesn't mean I can't go out and explore under other identities. I have quite a reputation in the mercenary world of the universe."

Is it the Marvel universe?

Li Buying became slightly interested, and for safety's sake, she pointed to herself: "So I still don't understand how strong I really am in the entire universe."

The purple-haired girl licked her lips, savoring the energy of the Ark of the Sacred Relic while shaking her head: "Do you think there are many beings who can destroy a planet by simply spending time or taking shortcuts? Compared to the universe, they are extremely rare. Don't worry, as long as we are careful, nothing can stop the two of us."

Li Buying couldn't stand these threats. She clenched her arm and said, "Nothing can stop you. I'm still just a carbon-based life form, and besides, there's no such thing as a seal."

"So are you going or not?" Ganata didn't refute, but chose to ask Li Buying again.

"Yes, of course I'll go. When are we leaving?"

When he learned from Ganata that there were very few beings capable of destroying planets, he still couldn't resist his curiosity and wanted to go to other planets to see what it was like. He hoped that he could encounter an opponent of equal strength who was slightly weaker than himself.

The purple-haired deity, with his hands still on the ark, kept his eyes closed: "Let me eat until I'm half full. Once my appetite has completely subsided, I won't need to come looking for you anymore."

……

After spending two hours drawing energy from the Ark of the Sacred Relic to restore her hunger, Ganata sighed, rubbing her stomach which clearly didn't feel full. She then got up and straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes.

Extending her hand to Li Buying, who was waiting to the side, Ganata raised her eyebrows and said, "Come on, I'll take you there."

He didn't seem too hesitant or timid. He tapped the right arm of the suit slightly and said something. It quickly switched to spacesuit mode. Then he raised his hand and grabbed Ganata's outstretched palm.

Li Buying felt a distortion in space, his body began to stretch, and his sense of gravity seemed to be instantly pulled hundreds or thousands of light-years away with the fluctuations. When he came to his senses, he had already been taken by the Galactus to a new planet in the early morning.

The distance this spatial movement covers is far greater than that of a spaceship jump.

Feeling the slightly different gravity from Earth's, Li Buying twisted her neck slightly and sensed that her characteristic [Environmental Adaptation Enhancement (Alien)] was slowly taking effect, and her body adjusted over time.

"here it is……"

Looking at the high-tech products around her, Li Buying did not show the country bumpkin mentality that Ganata had expected. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and asked her what kind of planet this was.

Ganata seemed a little disappointed, but still answered him: "It's a developed planet called Xandar. It's a place that alien tourists can come to, similar to a regional tourist attraction, where people can buy some 'special products' to take back."

Xandar? The Power Stone seems to be here... No, we'll have to see what happens in Guardians of the Galaxy right now.

Upon learning that this was Xandar, Li Buying's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, but he quickly suppressed it. The security measures here were definitely stronger than anywhere on Earth, and even if the Power Stone was still there, he might not be able to obtain it quietly.

As for being as ruthless as Thanos and directly attacking, well, Li Buying is still a little afraid of becoming the enemy of the universe.

He spent a short while with Ganata Garan in this place where alien tourists could stay for a period of time without identification. Since Xandar's currency system was a non-physical system, he couldn't get his hands on the planet's money.

Therefore, he could only watch the beautiful girl eat and drink here. More importantly, he used his gravity perception to explore the surrounding environment and discovered something while wandering around.

Numerous cameras began pointing at Ganata, who was eating and drinking, seemingly scrutinizing her identity. Li Buying, completely encased in her battle suit, couldn't help but raise her hand and pat the girl's arm: "Is it normal for so many cameras to be watching us?"

"That's normal. I guess Xandar has something they need to talk to me, the [Energy Addict], about."

Upon hearing something like "Possessive of Power," Li Buying squinted at her face.

From the previous conversation, we know that Ganata was a mercenary and was somewhat famous. It is estimated that she has shown a little bit of the ability to absorb energy, but the ability is not too exaggerated, so she got this title.

The truly wise hide in the city, while the lesser wise hide in the wilderness, right?

Just as Li Buying was about to complain about Ganata's actions, her communication device suddenly rang. Ganata, who was eating something that looked like noodles, opened the virtual device and kept pressing the buttons, seemingly talking to someone.

After turning off the screen, she moved the large bowl in front of her and stood up, saying, "Someone on Xandar needs my help. Would you like to come with me?"

"Tell me what happened first, and then I'll think about whether I should help."

"A mercenary group that is helpful to Xandar has sent a distress signal, hoping that they can send someone to help. It seems that they have offended some terrible guy, I think his name is Sovelin. Xandar's team can't directly get involved, so they want to send mercenaries to help."

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2...

A glint flashed in Li Buying's eyes, and her body began to stir with anticipation. This was a perfect opportunity to try and destroy a living planet.

In short, the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Dad, Love Me Again" scenario featuring Star-Lord, the living planet Ego, and the Star Hunter, mainly revolving around Star-Lord and Ego.

Ego is a giant living planet, considered one of the gods. He constantly uses his avatars to sow offspring throughout the universe, bringing them back to raise and then killing them.

The purpose of this is to absorb the divine power born from the child's body, and then, once the power increases, begin to devour and assimilate other planets. If Star-Lord and his crew fail, Earth will likely be the first to suffer.

The thought of fighting a real, living planet gave Li Buying a strange sense of excitement, whereas his previous battle with Doomsday hadn't been very satisfying.

The biggest reason was that Doomsday's strength was growing too fast and was extremely uncontrollable. Li Buying liked to bully the weak, but he didn't like his opponent to suddenly become powerful like the protagonist, so he killed Doomsday before it grew up.

Ego is different; its planetary body has reached its limit in terms of power, otherwise it would not have chosen to seek the power of its offspring.

"Okay, I'll help. So, how do we find that space mercenary group?"

"I knew you'd agree. Someone will put the search device on the spaceship I'm parking at Xandar's spaceport. We can just take that."

Ganata appeared quite unhurried. As she walked along the street, she bought plenty of food. Approaching the interstellar port, she calmly walked towards a small, dusty spaceship that seemed to have been moored for four or five years. After she spoke a few words in alien language, the spaceship immediately opened, and she raised her hand to invite Li Buying again:

"Please."

"Looks like you're really rich."

"It's alright, I guess. After all, I've lived this long."

Inside the spaceship was an iron box. Ganata pressed the button in the center of the box, and as it unlocked, a screen appeared above the box. It seemed that the box itself was part of the search device.

"Number 25, activate autopilot mode and proceed according to the target of the search device."

Ganata, comfortably reclining on the sofa, gave the order, and the spaceship immediately started moving, heading beyond Xandar to find the Guardians of the Galaxy.
