章節 358: Chapter 357: The Four Emissaries of the Star Swallower
Upon hearing about the threat posed by the planet devourer, Reed decisively expressed his willingness to lend a hand and agreed to temporarily join the Avengers' research team to prepare for the battle against the alien evil deity.
Clark sincerely stated, "I'm relieved! Our Avengers Alliance needs talents like this!" As for Thunderbolt and his group... they can stay wherever it's cool!
In fact, among the Fantastic Four, the only one who interested Clark was Mister Fantastic, famously known as Marvel's top intellect. As for their abilities, Clark thought they were just so-so.
Thus, when it really mattered, having Reed's brilliant mind was indeed sufficient. As for his ability to transform into rubber, Clark saw it as completely optional. He didn't believe that the charlatan could develop his rubber abilities to a fifth level.
After all, even if he could develop it to the fifth level, what would it matter? Could he defeat the Star Swallower or the Silver Surfer?
Scientists should dutifully provide technical support from the rear, as that's the proper way to utilize a scientist.
After discussing the plan to combat the Star Swallower with Reed and the Fantastic Four, Clark directly returned to the Avengers base, to his own laboratory.
Just as he teleported in, he was startled by the sight before him: "Daisy, how did you get in?"
It turned out that Daisy had somehow entered his laboratory while Clark was away, and was now tinkering with something on the computer.
Seeing Clark return, Daisy's face revealed a meaningful smile: "I'd also like to know how I got in. Initially, I was here to show you the draft of my breakthrough in the interstellar network coverage plan, hoping you could take a look at my research findings."
Her expression grew even stranger as she continued, "To surprise you, I planned to hack through the Moon's defense system to wait for you here. But when I arrived, the Moon actually said I had access. Isn't this supposed to be your private studio and bedroom? How did I get access?"
How did Daisy get access?
Of course, it was set by Clark himself! In fact, Clark had always harbored some inappropriate thoughts towards Daisy. As the saying goes, 'For a beautiful lady, a gentleman is willing,' and there's nothing embarrassing about that.
However, since meeting Daisy, he had been entangled with Hill, and later, Ava was also involved.
Under such circumstances, Lois calling him a scoundrel was not unjustified.
Even he had to admit, he was indeed a scoundrel!
Being a self-aware scoundrel, Clark always harbored that thieving heart, but due to the excellent quality of not harassing those close to him, he never actively flirted with Daisy. However, with the thought that he might succeed one day, he unconsciously added Daisy's name when setting the access permissions.
Of course, he could never admit this, so he pretended to be unconcerned, approached the computer, and stared intently at the monitor: "You've already completed the theoretical data for the interstellar network construction? Let me see, this will be a significant step forward for human civilization. You are a genius, your name will surely go down in history! Oh my God!"
Received +6666 impression points from Daisy Johnson!
Daisy, however, was not ready to let it go so easily and once again brought the conversation back to the critical issue: "Aren't you going to explain the access permissions?"
"You've listed the data very precisely, effectively integrating it with the alien technology I brought back..." Clark's eyes remained fixed on the computer screen, speaking non-stop, unwilling to pick up Daisy's thread.
At the same time, he used his immense mental power to control his heartbeat, breathing, and the contraction of his skin pores, trying to appear as natural as possible, without showing any signs of deceit.
Received +6666 impression points from Daisy Johnson!
Seeing that he was definitely pretending, Daisy blinked and said with pride, "Originally, I was considering staying today if you admitted it..."
Clark: o(TヘTo)
Though itching inside, he still had to maintain an indifferent façade.
Indeed, pride comes before a fall...
Such a tragedy! In the end, due to someone's pride, a pleasant occurrence did not happen, and after a detailed discussion about network technology, Daisy left, leaving Clark alone, struggling with his desires.
"Guanguan, the ospreys, on the isle in the river. The fair lady, a gentleman's good match. Unable to obtain, tossing and turning in distress. Pretending and missing out, rolling and turning in bed. Wanting to cry but tearless, very sad. Yiyiying, wuwuwu..."
Clark really regretted why he had to be a scoundrel. If he weren't so scoundrelly, maybe he could
openly...
However, speaking of which, with his looks, if he weren't a scoundrel, it would indeed be a waste of resources...
...
In the depths of the universe, within an unknown star domain.
A silver streak of light, moving faster than the speed of light, cut through the void, racing towards a terrifying energy mass in front.
This mass of energy, both tangible and intangible, was beyond the ordinary understanding of mortals.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such entities are not uncommon, with fundamental strengths reaching the multiverse level, able to transcend ordinary comprehension, and even for Clark, it was the same.
The figure before Silver Surfer, his form not fixed, presented in a special form indescribable to the layman. To an Earthling, he appeared as a majestic figure in mechanical armor.
This person was one of the five primordial gods of the Marvel Universe, the planet devourer!
The planet devourer, known as Galan, also called the Star Swallower and Uncle Swallower, existed before the cosmos and chaos, as old as the heavens and earth, feeding on stars. Hence the saying: "There was the Star Swallower before there were heavens."
The might of the Star Swallower was unknown, marking him as one of Marvel Universe's top powerhouses. He had four emissaries under his command: Stardust, Flame King, Tyrant, and Silver Surfer.
Stardust, an ardent fan of the Star Swallower, feminine in nature...
Okay, I can't make this up anymore!
To put it simply, the Star Swallower is incredibly powerful!
In a moment, Silver Surfer arrived before the planet devourer and, bowing respectfully, began to speak: "Master, I have investigated the problematic planet and have accurately located it, but there is a powerful guardian there. I am no match for him. In his presence, I couldn't even resist."
"It's not your fault." As a calm voice spoke, the planet devourer suddenly opened his eyes, brilliant light shooting from them like two dazzling stars, bringing a unique brightness to the surrounding star system: "The opponent's strength is indeed far above yours, beyond your capability to fight. Knowing when to retreat shows you have done well."
Silver Surfer bowed again: "Thank you, master, for your understanding."
At that moment, the planet devourer extended his massive palm over Silver Surfer's head. Surfer, shocked, did not attempt to evade. Since becoming an emissary of the Star Swallower, he had lost all emotions, including fear, retaining only his loyalty to the Star Swallower.
Now, he was prepared for death, should his master command it.
Unexpectedly, the Star Swallower's hand, raised high, did not strike down but remained suspended mid-air. A powerful, pure divine force enveloped Silver Surfer and extracted an orange-colored divine power from his body.
Seeing this divine power, Silver Surfer was startled: "Master, what is this?"
"This is a divine power containing the cosmic essence of the soul, something you were unable to detect," explained the planet devourer slowly. "As I mentioned before, his strength far exceeds yours. Not only can you not resist his power, but you also couldn't even detect the divine power he had hidden within you."
Under Silver Surfer's fearful gaze, the orange divine power in the planet devourer's hand was eroded by his own divine force, gradually merging with his own and becoming part of his body.
He had managed to refine the divine power originally belonging to Clark into his own in mere moments. It was evident that his ability to devour extended far beyond just planets.
The name of the planet devourer was indeed well-deserved!
After completely refining the divine power attached to Silver Surfer by Clark, the planet devourer continued: "It seems the opponent does not intend to sit idly by or defend a single spot. Now, our location has been completely exposed to his sight, and he may appear at any moment, launching an attack against us."
Silver Surfer hurriedly said, "It is due to my negligence, please punish me, master."
"I have already said, this is not your fault," the planet devourer paused briefly before continuing: "The opponent is malicious, and his strength exceeds our earlier estimates. We must prepare thoroughly for this battle. It seems we need to gather everyone and prepare for a tough fight."
As he spoke, a brilliant light burst from the fingertips of the planet devourer, splitting into three beams shooting in different directions across the cosmos.
