I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

If we can't stop Karina from touching the Power Stone, then our secret base will be completely destroyed!

"Damn it, Karina, don't touch it with your filthy hands! You have no idea what terrible consequences this will cause!"

However, the Collector was a beat too late. Karina had already reached the Power Stone, clenched her fists downwards, and glared at the Collector with hatred, saying:

"I never want to be your slave again, Talia!"

Upon seeing this, the collector felt a sudden shock and immediately changed direction, preparing to find a place to hide.

The next second, a blue phantom flashed past the collector's eyes.

The moment the waitress Karina's hand touched the Power Stone, Depp slapped her away.

Upon seeing this, the collector's previously anxious heart immediately settled down.

"Kid Depp, you did a fantastic job! You could even say you saved everyone's lives here!"

"Don't touch the Power Stone, you'll be torn to shreds by the savage power it contains!" Depp said to Karina, who was slumped on the ground. "Leave it to me!"

Depp is a good guy; he'll really step up when things get tough!

As the collector was thinking this, he suddenly realized what Depp's last four words meant.

Put it down! Here! You! Come on?

What the hell!

Why did you have to become the sixth son?!

Then, to the Collector's astonishment, Depp reached out his right hand and grasped the Power Stone before him.

The moment Depp fully grasped the Power Stone, a violent power erupted from it, and countless purple energies flew out, swirling around Depp and enveloping everyone in it.

Upon seeing this, the Collector and Star-Lord Gamora, along with other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, immediately flipped over the table and started jumping around.

Rocket Raccoon grabbed Groot's wooden hand and scurried off in another direction to escape.

The energy that erupted in that instant was so destructive that it shocked everyone.

As Depp grasped the Power Stone, he immediately felt as if his arm was being burned by the hottest flames in the world.

The intense heat and pain almost made even the battle-hardened Depp let go.

However, Depp's determination to obtain the Power Stone and his preparedness allowed him to resist the urge.

Soon, the energy erupting from the Power Stone had burned Depp's right hand to a crisp black.

Depp's right hand and forearm have been completely carbonized and are even beginning to show signs of dissipation.

At that moment, Depp's extraordinary healing ability was fully activated.

The newly formed granulation tissue clashed fiercely with the carbonized arm, to the astonishment of everyone present.

Depp's arm kept shifting between sprouting tender new flesh and being carbonized into nothingness.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?"

Star-Lord said.

Gamora looked at Depp's arm and analyzed, "This guy's healing ability and physical strength are comparable to a miracle. He's using these to contend with the destructive power of the Power Stone!"

Gamora looked at Star-Lord beside her and asked, "Are all Earthlings this powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord shook his head in bewilderment: "I don't think so. Compared to other races in the universe, Earthlings are actually much more vulnerable."

Gamora looked Star-Lord up and down, then nodded and said, "I see, that's true."

Rocket Raccoon gripped Groot's body tightly with one hand and Depp, the center of the Ultimate Energy Storm, with the other, and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, Groot, look! This guy is definitely a monster! If he weren't a monster, how could he possess such a powerful physique!"

Groot looked at Depp, then at Rocket Raccoon, and said, puzzled, "I... am... Groot."

The collector peered at Depp through the gaps between the rubble, his eyes filled with shock and horror.

"Who exactly is this kid? How could a normal person's body be so abnormal? What kind of thing is he that he can withstand the violent energy of the Power Gem?"

Suddenly, the Collector seemed to realize something and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "Damn it! This kid already knew that the Power Stone was inside the Cosmic Orb. He came here just to get me to help him open the Cosmic Orb and retrieve the Power Stone!"

"Damn it, I've been tricked!"

At the center of the energy storm, Depp was also bathed in the purple light emanating from the Power Stone.

Compared to the beginning, he has become somewhat accustomed to the constant destruction and regeneration of his arm.

But to Depp's surprise, the Power Stone even wanted to channel that incredibly powerful energy into his heart through his veins and meridians.

"You wretched, broken stone! When we get to the DC universe, I'm going to put you right at the very end of the other Infinity Stones on Selena's necklace!"

It seemed as if they had heard Depp's threat, or perhaps the Power Stone's power had reached its limit in recognizing its master.

All the purple energy that had been traveling through the Collector's Base began to rapidly contract inward, returning to a single point... the Power Gem.

At the same time, Depp's arm was no longer being eroded by the destructive force.

The newly formed pink buds immediately grew back at an extremely fast speed, and Depp's arm was restored to its original state in just over ten seconds in front of everyone.

Depp closed his eyes, feeling the terrifying energy contained in the Power Stone in his hand.

After "taming" the Power Stone, Depp clearly felt that the power was no longer violent.

On the contrary, the Power Stone was like a submissive puppy in Depp's hands, allowing him to use it as if it were his own arm.

Furthermore, this power gave Depp the feeling that nothing in the world could challenge him anymore.

Even Thanos, whom Depp once felt he couldn't possibly contend with, is no longer his match.

At this moment, the Guardians of the Galaxy stood up and looked at Depp, who was holding the Power Stone, but no one said a word.

But the destruction of their own home enraged the collector.

He walked up to Depp and angrily accused him, "Depp! Look what you've done! Because of your recklessness, you've destroyed my base, completely destroyed it!"

As he spoke, the collector pointed to his dilapidated base.

Almost all the containers in the base were shattered by the Power Stone, and countless surviving cosmic beings emerged and walked back and forth in the rooms.

Various unique artifacts from around the universe are scattered on the ground, resembling worthless trash.

However, faced with the Collector's accusation, Depp raised the Power Stone in his hand and asked, "So, Collector, do you mean you want me to give you the Power Stone and compensate you for your losses?"

Upon seeing this, the collector swallowed back the words he was about to utter.

Because he knew that if Depp, who possessed the Power Stone, wanted to kill him, it would be no different than crushing an ant.

And just now, he had actually yelled at Depp, who had already mastered the power of the Power Stone.

Whether human or divine, the essence of all beings is to seek advantage and avoid harm, and to bully the weak and fear the strong.

When faced with capable but kind-hearted people, they might still dare to act superior and bossy.

But once the other party stops tolerating it, the true nature of these arrogant guys, who are all bark and no bite, will be revealed.

And Depp, of course, knows this all too well.

Upon seeing Depp's undisguised behavior, the collector thought, "Damn, I must have gone mad just now!"

As the Russian space dog Cosmo passed by the Collector, he spoke to him telepathically: "You really went mad just now. For the sake of all our lives, I suggest you immediately kneel down and apologize to the man who possesses the Power Stone!"

Howard the Duck, holding a glass of red wine, sipped it slowly and said, "That dog is right, you really should kneel down and admit your mistake."

The collector nearly had a heart attack from the sarcastic remarks of his two collectibles.

But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Just as the Collector was thinking about how to appease Depp's anger without losing face, his base finally couldn't take it anymore and began to collapse little by little.

After all, the time it took Depp to subdue the Power Stone was much longer than the time it took for Carina's body to vanish in the movie, followed by Gamora shutting down the Sphere.

Correspondingly, the power gem caused far more damage to this place.

"This place is going to collapse! Get out of here!"

Rocket Raccoon was the first to shout.

Chapter 299 Instant Kill

Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, and the others ran out quickly, while the Collector, carrying Cosmo in one arm and Howard the Duck in the other, also rushed out.

Just before leaving, the Collector shouted, "Depp, you don't think you're safe just because you have the Power Stone, do you? My exhibition room has a lot of incredibly powerful and bizarre artifacts. As this place collapses, those things will all come out!"

After saying that, the collector quickened his pace and ran out.

His meaning was clear: his collection contained far too many things that could cause terrible damage or even endanger the entire Nowhere.

Even with the Power Gem, Depp couldn't survive in such a dangerous environment.

But Depp remained standing still, without moving.

Depp knew that while the collapsed exhibition hall wouldn't harm him, it wouldn't harm the collectors' collections.

However, besides the Power Stone, Depp also knew that he possessed the Speed ​​Force, an innate power.

so.....

"How could I possibly escape? Isn't this a golden opportunity to make a fortune?"

With that thought in mind, Depp then activated the Speed ​​Force at full speed, stuffing all the collections within sight in the Collector's exhibition room, especially those with extremely high risk factors, into the system space.

Even after the system space was filled, Depp had only taken half of the items in this collection room.

However, at that moment, the entire exhibition hall collapsed completely.

Countless precious and unique artifacts were smashed and destroyed, but no other explosions occurred.

Because Depp had just collected everything that could cause secondary damage into the system space.

"Thanks to the collector, a label was added to the front of each item in the display case."

I must say, this was a huge success!

The remaining items were beyond saving, and since most of them were just decorative trinkets, Depp didn't bother to pick them up.

Depp's superhuman speed surged, and he transformed into a streak of blue light, dashing out of the collection room and into the outside.

With a series of crashing sounds as bricks and stones crumbled, the entire building housing the collection room was reduced to ruins.

"Oh! When did you come out? I thought you were going to take this building down with you. By the way... what's that blue ribbon behind you?"
