Chapter 133: Chapter 133
Most of Ronan's forces were staunch loyalists. After Kurohane beat Ronan into submission with a small combo, he used Mind Control to compel Ronan to lead the surrender. Then, under the strict supervision of the Ravagers' army, all these warriors surrendered to Xandar. The result was that Xandar's leaders were stunned, disbelieving the sight before them!
Kurohane arranged for people to handle the handover with Xandar one by one. He had no other intention, he just loved listening to the sound of gaining justice points in his mind and then watching the numbers in his account climb! It felt good watching it, and listening to it continuously felt amazing!
All in all, this surrender feast lasted for three days and three nights. Xandar's own prisons weren't enough, so they could only hastily construct three large concentration camps to temporarily house these prisoners and surrendered soldiers, and arrange new army fighters to guard them. As the leader, Ronan even received the highest level of custody. If nothing unexpected happened, he would never have another chance to get out of this prison in the future!
Kurohane didn't care much about this. After all, he got justice points, so what was wrong with letting him out of prison again to get justice points! Oh right, bounty money could also be obtained again!
As for Nebula, Kurohane, with a mischievous sense of humor, put her in the Guardians of the Galaxy's cell. He had no other intention, he just liked watching Star-Lord's attacks and mutual cursing. This was even more interesting than watching any crosstalk or skits! If it weren't for this Star-Lord performing his talents these three days, Kurohane truly couldn't have gotten through it!
Anyway, Kurohane made a lot of money on this trip. Thinking about it, it wouldn't be long before he could accumulate enough for a guaranteed super pull! Xandar's leaders were also preparing to award Kurohane a medal and hold a grand celebration, but met with Kurohane's polite refusal, because Kurohane knew that the amount of bounty money this time, though it couldn't plunge Xandar back into a poor and destitute era, a decline in living standards was a certainty, so after getting the benefits, he had to sneak away quickly!
The Universal Weapon snatched from Ronan was also not easy for Kurohane to use, so he directly tossed it to Malekith. After all, he was also the second minion under his command. How could he not have a useful weapon? Could it be that every time there was a situation, he had to take action himself?
Everything was progressing in a good direction, except that Kurohane had only forgotten one thing, namely a certain Captain Marvel of a certain version who was locked up by him in the Mirror Dimension, and whom he promised to release in one day...
A deep frown creased Carol Danvers' face. Her voice was flat, filled with controlled annoyance. "So the one day you mentioned was actually 72 hours?" Her expression was drawn, reflecting a profound irritation.
Kurohane felt no shame at all. His back, which had felt broken, straightened again at this moment. Nothing else but having the Power Stone in hand made him speak with confidence!
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to figure it out in one day, so I gave you three times the thinking time." Kurohane countered, a faint smile on his lips. "Am I not generous enough? Don't tell me you couldn't last three days without food and water. Given your energy level, converting energy into physical and mental power is a basic operation. Reversing the electric meter would do the job! Now I ask you again, do you want to take me to the Time Variance Authority (TVA) to fool around?"
Danvers looked at the Infinity Gauntlet on Kurohane's hand. After not seeing him for three days, this person had acquired another Infinity Stone. "If the speed at which Thanos collected Infinity Stones could have half of Kurohane's efficiency, I'm afraid life in the Universe would have died halfway long ago," Danvers thought, a new worry creeping into her mind. "So Kurohane, this sorcerer from Kamar-Taj, might truly know a lot about the Multiverse and the Sacred Timeline!"
"Hmm, I can send you to the Time Variance Authority, but I won't go in myself." Danvers began, her voice calm, considering the options. "Besides, the Infinity Gauntlet and the three Infinity Stones in your hand must be left with me. If you can't come back, I'll still have to snap this finger to set this world back to its correct timeline."
What Danvers said was actually no problem at all. After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. If Kurohane could successfully take down the Time Variance Authority, then naturally that was good for everyone, but if he didn't succeed, then she also had a way to save this Universe.
Kurohane thought for a moment, his gaze shifting from the Gauntlet to Danvers' face. Out of consideration for Captain Marvel's name, he still decided to trust her this once. After all, if she snapped that finger, it would only erase the traces of his own existence, making the timeline revert to its original appearance. There was no loss to the people of the Marvel Universe, so even though he was extremely reluctant in his heart to part with the Infinity Gauntlet, he still took off the gauntlet and handed it to Danvers, but he lost control of his fingers and couldn't let go no matter what!
He looked at the golden gauntlet and the three Infinity Stones on it with reluctance, and sniffed, "Baby! You must be happy, okay? Darling, how can I live without you!"
Slap!
Danvers immediately slapped Kurohane's hand and placed the Infinity Gauntlet on her own hand, a swift and decisive movement. "I must say, she has been through several Universes, but this is the first time she has seen an Infinity Gauntlet the size of an ordinary human's palm!" When she put on the Infinity Gauntlet, there was almost no stiff time at all. Her physical body strength was far stronger compared to Kurohane, this ordinary Earthling!
Kurohane showed his own choice with his actions, and Danvers also responded with her own actions. She pulled out a tablet computer with an orange-yellow screen from the chest of her bodysuit and handed it to Kurohane.
"I won't explain this thing to you too much. Since you know about the Time Variance Authority, then you won't be unfamiliar with this thing." Danvers said, her voice direct. "Everything is in the manual, and you can definitely understand the entire English interface! Can you let me leave here now?"
"Wait a moment, I still have something to tell you." Kurohane stopped her.
Kurohane took the tablet with a strange body temperature. He naturally knew what this thing was, the tablet used by the Time Variance Authority to open portals, which was capable of going to any point in time in any Universe he wanted to go to. Of course, he could also return to the Bureau. He just didn't know where Danvers got this tablet.
"Outside, Yondu and Malekith will regularly trick some wanted criminals to collect bounties." Kurohane explained, his tone turning sly. "As long as I'm gone, I'll trouble you to use the Reality Stone to transform into my appearance. You don't need to do anything else, just help me keep the organization from disbanding. As long as you agree to this, I'll be ready to go!"
"What exactly is your organization about?" Danvers asked, her eyebrows raised, curiosity lacing her tone.
Kurohane used thirty thousand words to explain the purpose of establishing this organization, stating that he was doing charity work, only hoping that every prisoner could find their own cell. Of course, if it was the death penalty, he also had no objection. There was a strange expression on Danvers' face. She couldn't say that Kurohane's starting point was problematic, but no matter how you looked at it, it was for the bounties on those criminals!
"Then it's settled, okay? The task is very simple, just speak less and act cooler! Final question: what should you do if someone comes to crash the place?"
"Kill them with one punch." Danvers answered without hesitation, her voice firm.
"Don't kill them! The bounty money is more if you capture them alive!" Kurohane protested, exasperation clear in his voice.
"I know you're doing it for the bounty money!" Danvers quipped, a small smirk appearing on her lips.
