章節 148: Chapter 148: Back to Marvel

In the Marvel Universe, a portal emitting golden sparks tore open in the void. A figure with white hair stepped through, standing amidst the emptiness.

Before traveling through, Alex had suppressed his energy signature to avoid detection by the Celestials.

Rather than the scenario where he is immediately discovered and besieged by the Celestials, Alex preferred to assess the situation first, before systematically eliminating these so-called gods.

Upon descending, Alex began extending his senses discreetly, gathering information about his location and the current timeline.

When he had previously left the Marvel Universe for DC, Alex's strength had only just reached the Skyfather level, and even destroying a planet had been a challenge.

Now, after traversing the DC, Naruto, and Pirate Worlds, his power had increased dramatically, reaching single-universe level. Even among beings of that caliber, Alex stood at the absolute pinnacle.

Expanding his perception across a vast expanse, Alex gleaned much useful information.

He noticed a spaceship heading toward Xandar, piloted by none other than Star-Lord, who was dancing along to music as he steered.

At this moment, Star-Lord was alone—the Guardians of the Galaxy had yet to form.

Further observing Xandar, Alex spotted Rocket Raccoon and Groot, confirming that the timeline was set around the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1.

Determined, Alex planned his next steps. He decided to travel to various planets, collecting the Infinity Stones. Even now, the Stones could provide a significant boost to his strength.

Opening a portal, Alex returned to his pocket dimension.

Previously, when leaving the Marvel Universe, the Infinity Stones had lost their power and could no longer generate infinite energy. As a result, Alex had set them aside.

Now that he was back, the Stones' energy had been restored, and Alex intended to utilize them once again.

Drawing upon his past experience with the Stones, Alex quickly modified the foundational runes of his pocket dimension, creating slots for the Stones to fit.

The Space Stone, Reality Stone, and Mind Stone began to merge under the influence of the runes, enhancing the pocket dimension's energy density to unprecedented levels.

Furthermore, Alex's absolute control over his pocket dimension allowed him to channel the Stones' power indefinitely through it.

Once the integration was complete, Alex took a step, instantly crossing light-years to arrive on Xandar.

Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire, boasted immense military power and a thriving economy.

The planet, similar to Earth, featured better greenery and was an ideal place for habitation, surpassing Earth in many ways.

Walking along its streets, Alex suppressed his perception and curiously observed his surroundings.

Back when he had watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, Alex had found Xandar to be a beautiful world. Now that he was here in person, its harmonious blend of technology and nature impressed him even more.

Unlike the dense forests of the Naruto World or the peculiar islands of the Pirate World, Xandar offered a unique aesthetic—a perfect union of progress and preservation.

After wandering for a while, Alex came across a fountain where he saw a future member of the Guardians: a raccoon standing upright.

Rocket Raccoon was holding a futuristic device and exclaimed excitedly: "A bounty! Let's see who the unlucky fool is this time!"

The transparent screen of his device locked onto a man flirting with a woman—Star-Lord. The screen displayed the bounty details:

Target: Peter Quill

Objective: Capture alive

Client: Yondu Udonta

Reward: 40,000 units

Upon seeing such a high bounty, Rocket grinned with excitement and exclaimed: "Woohoo, Groot! We're gonna be rich!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded nearby: "Oh wow, the bounty is quite high."

Rocket Raccoon flinched at the unexpected voice beside him. Turning his head, he saw a white-haired man standing there.

Both he and Groot tensed up, eyeing Alex warily. Rocket bared his teeth and growled: "Hey, buddy, I spotted him first! Are you here to steal my bounty?"

Alex looked Rocket up and down, marveling at how such a small head could house such extraordinary intelligence.

After all, theories suggests that Rocket's IQ was comparable to that of Tony Stark.

Perhaps Alex's scrutinizing gaze offended him, because Rocket pulled out his gun and aimed it at Alex:

"Hey, you lousy jerk, I'm not some kind of pet for you to gawk at!"

Alex chuckled. "Of course not. I know that. I've seen many animals like you—capable of standing upright and speaking. It just surprises me to encounter one here as well."

Rocket was taken aback. Did this man know other creatures like him? Could they be others who had been experimented on like he was?

"Where? Where did you see them?" Rocket asked eagerly.

Alex, understanding Rocket's train of thought, explained: "Not in this world. They're from another world entirely. They were originally humans, but after eating a special fruit called a Devil Fruit, they gained the ability to transform into animals."

He paused before adding:

"At first, I thought you might have gotten your powers the same way, but clearly, that's not the case."

"Devil Fruits, huh? Sounds like some kind of magical fruit," Rocket muttered. Though disappointed that Alex wasn't talking about others like him, his sharp mind quickly pivoted to the potential value of such fruits. If they were real, they'd sell for a fortune.

Alex, suddenly struck by an amusing idea, grinned mischievously.

"Mr. Raccoon, would you like to try a Devil Fruit? Gain some supernatural powers?

"There are many kinds of Devil Fruits. For example, Zoan-type Fruits allow the eater to transform into an animal and gain its abilities. There are also other types of Fruits that grant a variety of superpowers."

Rocket's years of fleeing from the High Evolutionary had honed his caution. He wasn't about to trust this stranger easily. Raising his rifle again, he demanded: "What's your angle? What do you want?"

Alex's expression remained calm, unaffected by the weapon pointed at him. Unless it was a galaxy-shattering attack, nothing could harm him.

He pointed at the sleazy-looking man flirting in the distance—Star-Lord.

"See that guy over there? The one trying (and failing) to charm the lady? He has something I want—a metal orb.

"How about this: we take him down together. You can turn him in for the bounty, and I'll take the metal orb. As a bonus, I'll even give you a Devil Fruit. Deal?"

Alex was already imagining the future. A Rocket Raccoon with the powers of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit (Goro Goro no Mi) going up against Thor. After defeating the Asgardian, Rocket would mock him:

"You're just the god of hammers, but I'm the real god of thunder!"

What a scene that would be. Definitely worth capturing as a collectible. Speaking of collections, Alex's mind drifted to the Collector. That ancient being had amassed a fascinating array of treasures, including rare creatures and artifacts from across the universe.

And now, Alex had his own plans. As a an Elder of the Universe, perhaps the Collector himself could become part of Alex's collection.

Rocket's ears perked up at Alex's proposal. He walked up to Alex and slapped his leg confidently.

"Following Rocket Raccoon is the smartest choice you've ever made! I'll snatch that orb for you in no time!"

Groot chimed in with his signature line: "I am Groot!"

At this moment, Star-Lord had just parted ways with the red-skinned alien woman and headed to a trading post to submit a mission. However, upon mentioning his name, he was kicked out due to the staff's fear of him.

Soon after, Gamora ambushed him. The two engaged in a physical struggle, rolling across the ground, laying the foundations for their future romance through some "close contact."

As their fight was intensifying, Rocket Raccoon and Groot interrupted their skirmish, tying up Gamora and helping Star-Lord escape.

Just as Star-Lord reached out to pick up the fallen Orb, a hand appeared out of nowhere, snatching it up.

Alex held the Orb in his hand, casually crushed it, and stored the Power Stone within his pocket universe.

The Power Stone, representing limitless strength and energy among the six Infinity Stones, also had the ability to amplify the effects of the others.

Once synchronized with the three other stones, the Power Stone released a surge of energy, magnifying the power of the Space, Reality, and Mind Stones even further.

The addition of the Power Stone doubled the energy production of Alex's pocket universe. Its output now exceeded what his Energy Absorption Lv.5 skill could handle efficiently.

Feeling the overwhelming energy coursing through him, Alex opened his system interface:

> Energy Absorption Lv.5 (18456/20000)

Can absorb nearly all forms of energy within a 20-meter radius at high speed and capacity. Allows manipulation of most energy forms within a 10-meter radius.

The skill was nearing its next upgrade, after which Alex would be able to fully harness the energy of his pocket universe. He was particularly eager for the ability to master matter-energy conversion, which would allow him to create matter from energy—even without the Infinity Stones.

Meanwhile, Star-Lord, furious that his hard-earned Orb had been stolen, drew his elemental blasters and aimed at Alex. "Hey, pal! That Orb is mine! Hand it over!"

Ignoring Star-Lord's demand, Alex scanned his surroundings.

Moments later, several small spacecraft appeared, surrounding them. Beams of golden light shot down, binding everyone except Alex in a gravitational field.

Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, and Star-Lord floated helplessly in the air, unable to move.

A voice boomed from one of the ships: "Experiment 89P13, put down your weapon! By the authority of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest!"

Rocket sighed in defeat, tossing his weapon aside.

Several Nova Corps officers descended, restraining Star-Lord and the others.

At this point, Star-Lord noticed something unusual: Alex was standing unaffected, completely ignored by the Nova Corps' binding beams. Outraged, he shouted:

"This isn't fair! He was part of the fight too, and he stole my Orb! Why isn't he being arrested?"

His outburst caught the attention of the leading Nova Corps officer, who turned to see Alex still standing freely. Assuming their binding beams had failed to lock onto him, the officer barked an order:

"Extend the binding field to include him! Detain him as well!"

However, moments later, one of the subordinates reported in confusion:

"Commander, we've already directed the binding beams at him and increased the power to maximum!

But for some reason, the beams have absolutely no effect on him!"

The commander froze.

"...What??"

Below, seeing Alex unmoved, several Nova Corps soldiers cautiously approached, intending to physically restrain him. Yet, as they came within five meters of him, they found themselves unable to proceed further.

It was as if an invisible wall stood in their way, completely isolating Alex.

At this point, everyone realized something was wrong. The soldiers and ships abandoned their focus on Rocket, Groot, and the others, switching to lethal energy weapons and aiming them at Alex.

The black commander, visibly nervous, shouted:

"Criminal! Lie on the ground and surrender, or we will open fire!"

In response to their tense hostility, Alex calmly snapped his fingers.

Instantly, the vectors around him fell into chaos. Under the astonished gazes of the Nova Corps, every nearby ship and energy weapon, whether in their hands or in low-altitude flight, disintegrated into fine dust with a faint breeze.

Only then did Alex speak, his tone serene: "Apologies, but I have no intention of being detained. Can I leave now?"

With their ships reduced to powder, the commander fell from mid-air to the ground. Fortunately, his physical resilience spared him from major injury, though his nose began bleeding profusely.

Hearing Alex's words, he stiffened and retorted sternly: "Damn criminal! How dare you attack the Nova Corps? Don't get too arrogant—I will arrest you no matter what—"

Before he could finish, Alex raised his hand, his fingers aligned like a blade, and slashed sideways.

The vectors around Alex converged into a torrent of sword energy, surging outward with overwhelming force.

The unleashed sword energy wreaked havoc, splitting everything in its path. The once-beautiful cityscape now bore a massive, cleanly cut divide, as though the city had been parted by an unstoppable force.

Amid the deafening roar and rising dust, the scene resembled the apocalypse.

Seeing this catastrophic display, the commander froze, his words dying in his throat. He opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, unable to speak.

A few seconds later, his complexion contorted into a strange, twisted smile. Suddenly, he straightened his posture and approached Alex with a deferential attitude, bowing deeply.

"Esteemed sir, how could someone like you possibly be a criminal? We clearly made a mistake earlier.

Allow me to extend a warm welcome to Xandar on behalf of its people. We are honored by your presence!"

I post 20 advanced chapters of this fanfic there.


章節 149: Chapter 149: Enhancements

Star-Lord and the others gaped at the destruction beside Alex, the remains of what was once a bustling city.

With a mere flick of his hand, Alex had unleashed an attack that tore through the entire city.

Yet, the precision of the attack was astounding—no one in the affected area was killed or even slightly injured.

As the favored daughter of Thanos, Gamora was well aware of her father's overwhelming power.

But to her shock, even her father, the Mad Titan, could not unleash an attack of this magnitude and control.

This meant that the mysterious man before them was more powerful than the mad tyrant who terrorized the universe!

Once their initial surprise passed, Rocket Raccoon's expression shifted to one of excitement.

Alex had promised him earlier: if Rocket helped him retrieve the metal orb, Alex would gift him a Thunder Fruit.

Initially, Rocket had doubted the existence of such a fruit. But after witnessing Alex's terrifying strength, he no longer had any reason to doubt.

Rocket, once a fugitive relentlessly hunted by the High Evolutionary, finally felt like he was about to rise above it all!

He had heard of a "Thunder God" among the Asgardians, one of the major powers in the galaxy. But from this moment on, the title of Thunder God would belong to Rocket Raccoon!

Having effortlessly subdued the Nova Corps with a single attack, Alex gave his orders as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"I need a brand-new ship, fully stocked with supplies. Additionally, I need one specific person."

The commanding tone seemed perfectly justified to everyone present. In this universe, the strong preyed on the weak. A powerful Titan like Thanos could slaughter entire planets at will. For someone stronger than Thanos, like Alex, such demands were more than reasonable.

That Alex had spared their lives despite their earlier transgressions was already a gift of mercy.

The black commander immediately stepped forward and replied:

"We will provide you with the finest ship Xandar has to offer, fully stocked with all the supplies you need.

May I ask who you require? The Nova Corps will do everything in its power to fulfill your request!"

"Drax the Destroyer. He's currently imprisoned in Kyln."

Although the black commander did not understand the connection between Alex and Drax, he did not hesitate to agree. "Of course, we will expedite the process and deliver Drax to you as quickly as possible!"

Alex's desire to recruit Drax had one simple purpose: entertainment.

Drax, as the comedic relief of the Guardians of the Galaxy, had an innocent yet hilariously dim-witted demeanor that Alex found endlessly amusing.

But there was another reason.

In the comics, Drax the Destroyer was a powerhouse capable of tearing apart stars with his bare hands. However, the movies had significantly weakened his abilities, making him unworthy of the title "Destroyer."

Alex planned to enhance and upgrade Drax, transforming him into his top enforcer in the Marvel universe.

Alex remembered his earlier confrontations in this universe, where he had killed three of Thanos' Black Order.

Back then, Thanos had been a considerable threat. But now, as a being beyond even the Skyfather level, Alex saw Thanos as nothing more than a glorified watchdog. The Deviant Titan wasn't worth his time—a subordinate like Drax tearing Thanos apart would be far more fitting.

Later, the black commander reported Alex's presence to the highest authority on Xandar, Nova Prime.

Nova Prime, recognizing the immense power Alex wielded, personally came to meet him.

To her credit, Nova Prime was pragmatic. Upon learning of Alex's strength, she humbly offered her allegiance, seeking his protection for her planet.

Alex was well aware of Xandar's current and impending threats.

First, there was Ronan the Accuser, a Kree extremist and mass murderer who was slaughtering Xandarians indiscriminately, even children.

Then, there was the looming threat of Thanos, who would eventually attack and destroy Xandar.

Alex had already decided that Ronan would serve as a training exercise for Rocket and the others. As for Thanos, that minor annoyance would be crushed in due time.

With nothing to lose, Alex accepted Nova Prime's proposal.

Demonstrating his immense power once more, he retrieved the massive black hole he had unleashed earlier and rewound time to restore the city to its original state.

For the next few days, Alex took a rare break from enhancing his skills and decided to relax.

During this time, he sealed his powers and explored all the breathtaking sights Xandar had to offer with the physical limitations of an ordinary human.

Xandar was truly beautiful, and this leisurely journey brought Alex great enjoyment.

---

A few days later, the Nova Corps delivered Drax the Destroyer to Alex.

Alex quickly subdued him and enhanced him using a reversal spell.

For his amusement, Alex also changed Drax's skin tone to a bluish-purple, matching that of Thanos.

He further modified Drax's tattoos: when activated, they would emit a dazzling red glow, significantly amplifying Drax's power several times over.

After Alex's enhancements, Drax's base physical strength was already comparable to Thanos. When the tattoos were activated, his power increased to the point where he could effortlessly crush Thanos.

After dealing with Drax, Alex fulfilled his promise to Rocket Raccoon, who was brimming with anticipation. He handed Rocket the Thunder Fruit.

Creating the Thunder Fruit was a trivial task for Alex. A simple fruit inscribed with the Thunder Fruit's rune was all it took.

Moreover, unlike the Devil Fruits of the One Piece world, Alex's version of the Thunder Fruit was not weakened by seawater.

After enjoying Xandar's hospitality for a while and mastering all of its advanced technology, Alex set off in his new ship with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Their destination: Knowhere, to retrieve the treasures Alex had "previously left" with the Collector.

The ship gifted by Xandar was enormous, rivaling the size of the one Alex had built for the Whitebeard Pirates.

This luxurious vessel was originally used for opulent air tours and was owned by Nova Prime herself. However, in a bid to win Alex's favor, she readily gave it to him, along with dozens of skilled crew members and servants to help manage it.

---

In the ship's training room, Rocket Raccoon was sparring with Drax.

Both had gained incredible combat prowess after being enhanced by Alex.

Electricity crackled through the room. Despite only having the Thunder Fruit for a few days, Rocket had already developed multiple applications for it.

These included techniques like Railgun—using electricity to create magnetic forces to control metal—and vibrating high-frequency blades.

Of course, Rocket also mastered various techniques originally used by Enel, but his grasp of the Thunder Fruit far exceeded Enel's.

Alex even speculated that, with enough stamina, Rocket could use electricity to manipulate electromagnetic forces on a microscopic scale.

It was undeniable—given enough power, intellectuals like Rocket could become terrifyingly strong, much like Doctor Doom from the comics.

When Drax wasn't activating his tattoos, he was no match for Rocket.

One lightning strike from Rocket sent Drax flying across the room.

Enraged and about to lose control, Drax prepared to activate his tattoos, but Alex's calm voice intervened:

"Drax, this is just a sparring match. I'd rather see you direct your strength toward Ronan and your enemies, not your allies."

Hearing Alex's reminder, Drax quickly regained his composure and muttered "You're right. I will tear Ronan to shreds and rip Thanos's head off!"

Seeing the terrifying power Rocket and Drax displayed after Alex's enhancements, Star-Lord sidled up to Alex with his trademark cheeky grin.

"Hey, Alex, you said you're from Earth, right? Well, I'm from Earth too. That makes us like… hometown buddies!

So, uh… you wouldn't happen to have a little something to enhance me too, would you? I mean, I don't want to be the weak link in the battles ahead!"

Alex smiled warmly.

"Don't worry, my friend. I've already prepared a special enhancement for you. It's the perfect transformation—one that will elevate you from a demigod to a true god!"

Far away, Ego, the sentient celestial planet, inexplicably felt a shiver of cold dread wrap around him.

The ship warped through numerous wormholes, traversing the galaxy. After several jumps, they arrived before a massive planetary-sized head.

Seeing the colossal structure, Star-Lord couldn't help but exclaim,

"Oh my god, what is this?"

Gamora, standing beside him, explained, "It's the decapitated head of some ancient cosmic being. Be cautious in there, Rocket—it's a lawless zone."

Alex stood at the front of the control room, gazing out at the spectacular view. Different worlds offered unique beauty, and every one brought him immense pleasure.

After Gamora's explanation, Alex added, "That head belongs to a Celestial."

Drax, curious, asked,

"A Celestial? What are they?"

"They're an ancient and terrifying race of cosmic entities," Alex explained. "Each Celestial wields the power to destroy planets and shatter universes.

They aren't physical beings in the usual sense but abstract entities—manifestations of pure concepts. Nearly immortal, they embody the impossible."

"WTF!" Star-Lord's face twisted with disbelief. "There are beings that powerful—and it's not just one of them? What could possibly kill something like that and chop off its head?"

Alex turned to Star-Lord, his expression filled with amusement.

The faint flicker in his glowing blue eyes betrayed a predatory instinct. His Mystic Eyes of Death Perception stirred, eager to hunt these cosmic giants. Suppressing the surging power within, Alex smiled.

"Everything that lives can die. The trick is knowing how to kill them.

Oh, and by the way, you share a connection with the Celestials. That's part of the power I plan to give you later."

Star-Lord frowned in confusion.

"I have a connection with the Celestials?"

"That's right. It has to do with your father. You'll learn more when the time is right."

Alex stopped the conversation there, watching as Star-Lord squirmed in frustration.

Alex enjoyed Star-Lord's visible discomfort. There's a certain pleasure in playing the role of the enigmatic riddler.

While people often say 'Riddlers must die,' being the riddler was undeniably satisfying.

Shifting the topic, Alex spoke again,

"By the way, if you're going to follow me, you'll need to be prepared to face a few challenges.

Challenges like… dealing with those so-called Celestials."

Hearing Alex's tone when he mentioned the Celestials, the Guardians of the Galaxy couldn't shake a feeling of unease.

Alex continued,

"I've had some run-ins with the Celestials. Long ago, I clashed with them after killing their creations—the Eternals."

"Eternals?" Gamora couldn't help but feel that the name sounded familiar.

Staring at the endless stars in front of him, Alex's eyes remained calm and steady: "Like Thanos. He's an Eternal warrior. But unlike the ordinary ones, he's one of their elites…"

Ignoring the shock in everyone's hearts, Alex continued, "I killed all the Eternals on Earth, which caught the attention of Arishem, the leader of the Celestials. He wanted to judge me, but I refused. So, we fought.

Back then, I wasn't as strong as I am now. Even with three Infinity Stones and the massive boost I gained from using the corpse of a Celestial infant, I was no match for him.

I lost. But I used a certain method to escape, and not long ago, I returned—ready to take revenge on them."

Alex turned, narrowing his eyes with a smile: "I'm going to slaughter every single Celestial in this universe. The Celestials are now our enemies."

Rocket: "???"

Star-Lord: "???"

Gamora: "???"

Drax: "???"

Groot: "I am Groot?"

After a moment of silence, they all exclaimed together:

"WTF?!"

To make them face the Celestials—was this some kind of joke?!

How could they possibly stand against Celestials?!

Star-Lord's face froze as he stammered, "Alex, you… you're… joking, right?"

Rocket chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, we're way too weak. How could we possibly fight the Celestials?"

Even Drax scratched his head and added, "Alex, you scared us. Don't joke like that!"

But their awkward smiles quickly froze when they realized Alex's expression hadn't changed at all. They understood that everything Alex said was true!

No! Let us off this ride!

What they thought was a luxury car turned out to be a death trap.

If Alex kept going like this, even the grandest starliner would crash!

Seeing their terrified expressions, Alex naturally knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said,

"Don't worry. They're just Celestials. You'll get used to killing a few after a while."

Another round of silence followed. They realized they weren't even on the same wavelength as Alex.

These were Celestials, not pigs!

How could mere mortals dare to challenge Celestials, let alone kill them?!

Seeing his team's utter lack of confidence, Alex felt a little helpless. Once he started killing Celestials, they wouldn't react like this anymore.

He didn't expect much from them. All he wanted was for them to cheer him on when he faced the Celestials alone. A little morale boost, maybe, and to witness his god-slaying feats as spectators.

He had no illusions about them actually fighting the Celestials themselves.
