Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 340: Typhon Loses the Treasure House and Rango Takes the Gem
"A divine wine brewed from the essence of a dying star and stored in a cellar for a hundred thousand years? Hmm, that's interesting. Take it."

"This cloak, which contains the magical power of Vishanti, was used by Agamotto, the first Supreme Sorcerer and founder of Kamar-Taj, when he was a human... It's a great thing. Take it away."

"The hardest iron ore in the universe? Not bad, just the right thing for Malphite to sharpen his teeth on."

"The parchment that records the whereabouts of the Ten Rings, a cosmic treasure. Ten Rings? What the hell is this? Tear it up!"

"A treasure box containing absolute zero, which can send the entire planet into an ice age when opened? It seems that Odin's treasure house also has such a thing... Well, it's just right to cool down my museum."

"The prototype of the Time Chair? It allows the user to freely travel through any time node, tamper with the cause and effect of time and space, smear the timeline, and cut parallel universes... Hiss, damn, you have such a treasure and you are still afraid of Thanos? Can't you just go find the infant Thanos and strangle him to death?"

"An energy meter that lacks a power source? Well, it turns out to be just an empty shell. But it looks good. I can put it in my office and use it as a chair."

In the Land of Nothingness, in the collector's treasure house that had been there for hundreds of thousands of years, Rango was sitting on a chair full of futuristic technology, with gold and white all over, and surrounded by several rings.

At this moment, he was wearing a crimson cloak, with one corner of the cloak quietly lifted up, as if he was carefully looking at Rango's face, as if he was memorizing the appearance of his new master in his heart.

"Sure enough, there are names that are called wrong, but there are nicknames that are not called wrong. You really have collected a lot of good things." Rango leaned his elbows on the side of the chair, holding his chin, and looked around with interest at the castle, which was already half collapsed but still full of countless intact treasures.

The many friends he brought with him through the portal were happily shopping around inside. Rango had already told them that as long as they saw something they liked, they could just take it away.

This was not because he was being generous, but because the portal was two-way, and once the door was opened, they could clearly see the ruins of the war inside. Despite this, they still came to help him without hesitation, and this friendship was clearly cultivated, and he should give everyone some deserved rewards.

Moreover, the treasures in the collector's treasure trove are worth more than billions. After wandering around for most of the day, they only saw the tip of the iceberg.

As for the collector Tiphon himself… he had already accepted his fate. Although he felt very upset, he still did not refuse everyone's raiding of his treasure house. The only thing to be thankful for was that these earthlings seemed to be not interested in the real treasures in his treasure house, such as the dandruff of the goddess of death and the feces of Vishanti. Instead, they valued some flashy things more.

Especially the red sports car, which was now lying behind a spaceship made of Uru Kogane. With his wealth, it was easy to buy 100,000 spaceships like this, and they were not rare at all...

Wait! What the hell is that sports car doing?!

"Dude, don't always look so sad. Someone who doesn't know would think we're here to rob you."

Seeing the Collector staring at McQueen with eyes wide open in disbelief, Rango pulled him in front of him and said jokingly, "Without our help, do you think you can stop the Dark Quadrant and Thanos? Just be happy that you can get rid of the disaster by spending money."

"You...you don't understand."

The Collector closed his eyes and covered his chest, and replied in a hoarse voice, "As a member of the Council of Elders of the Universe, everyone must have an ultimate hobby throughout their lives. And my hobby is collecting. It is engraved in my genes and cannot be changed just because I want to."

"The Council of Elders of the Universe?" Rango became interested and asked curiously, "What kind of organization is this? It sounds quite impressive from the name."

"Of course it's amazing!" When the collector mentioned this, he suddenly became excited. Whether it was to divert his heartache from having his collection looted, or to prove to Rango that he also had a backer, he began to explain nonstop, "Every member of our Council of Elders is one of the oldest life forms in the universe, and the last survivor of their respective races. Not only are we immortal, we also possess super-advanced technology."

"Even the weakest among them owns an entire planet." He paused and continued, "Of course, because our lives are too long, in order to not let time wear away our will, every member of the Elders Council has a lifelong hobby. For example, I like collecting."

At this point, he seemed to be worried that Rango would not believe him, and gave a few more examples, "There is also a man named Gao Tianzun, who is also a member of the Elders Council. His hobby is competition. This guy has occupied a dimensional space that stores cosmic garbage, and he holds grand competitions every day."

"There are even living planets, but you probably won't meet that pervert named Ego. He's keen on sowing seeds all over the universe to find his son."

"Ego?" Rango originally didn't take the Council of Elders of the Universe seriously after hearing the name of Supreme Lord. But now that he knew that Star-Lord's old spherical father was also there, he immediately became interested.

According to the plot in the movie, although the original body of Ego is a planet, he can transform into countless clones connected to the energy of the original body to devour the energy of other planets.

"The energy of a planet...tsk tsk tsk." Rango couldn't help but narrow his eyes and licked his lips.

The energy absorbed in the dark dimension was enough for him to fill up a progress bar, and Ego was a super planet that had existed in the universe for countless tens of thousands of years and had absorbed the energy of countless planets.

Just thinking about it, Rango felt a little overwhelmed.

"That. Brother Tivon." He suddenly stretched out his hand, smiled and put it on the collector's shoulder, with a bit of intimacy in his tone.

The Collector's body shuddered slightly. Every time the guy next to him laughed, something bad happened. The last time he talked to him with a smile, he made a deal with him to trade the treasure trove for defeating Thanos.

"Don't be so formal, buddy. Look at you, you're so nervous." Rango put his arm around the collector's shoulder and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then he changed the subject and said, "I'm quite interested in your Council of Elders. Do you have time to introduce me to some of the members?"

"member?"

"Yes, I think the one called Igo is good. I love playing with balls the most. The bigger the ball, the better I like it."

Upon hearing this, the collector involuntarily glanced at Mavis and Lucifer who were searching in the treasure house. He seemed to understand something in his heart and couldn't help but curl his lips in disgust.

That guy Ego has transformed into tens of millions of people, and although many of them are women, almost all of them can be ridden by thousands of people. I didn't expect that Rango looks very powerful, but he actually likes this in private.

However, since I have been bullied, seeing people I know being bullied can be considered a kind of alternative comfort.

The collector shrugged and said helplessly: "I'll make the contact for you. I'll tell you when I have news."

"Okay, I knew I had the right person." Rango nodded happily and promised, "Don't worry, if I say there are 100,000 pieces of collection, it must be 100,000 pieces. I will never take more."

"Forget it, just take as much as you can." The collector sighed, as if he had seen through the mundane world. "Anyway, I'm tired of these treasures after tens of thousands of years. It's time to collect some new things. For example..."

The guy suddenly raised his mouth and said to Rango in a flattering tone: "A treasure from another universe."

That's right, from the time Rango opened the portal until now, the Collector has completely understood the origin of this Earthling - a new world that is completely different from the universe he lives in.

Hearing this, Rango looked down at the collector and raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to visit my world?"

"Is that okay?" The Collector rubbed his hands together like a fly, then promised earnestly, "Don't worry, I will definitely abide by the laws and rules of the universe over there. Actually, you can think of it as collecting folk songs. I just want to see the styles of different universes."

As he spoke, he reached behind his waist and a red box instantly appeared in his hand.

"What's stored inside is the purpose of your trip - the Reality Gem. You can regard it as my sincerity."

"Bullshit, this thing was originally left with you by my brother. Are you taking someone else's stuff as a favor?" Rango snatched the box away and did not rush to open it. Instead, he put on the Infinity Gauntlet seized from Thanos first.

As far as he knew, the fate of ordinary people who touched the Infinity Stones without any protection would not be good.

Swish-!
The mechanical cover on top of the box was instantly pulled open, and wisps of red particles like mist floated out from it.

Ether particles.

Unlike other gems, real gems do not exist in a solid state under normal conditions.

But then, these red particles seemed to sense something and began to turn in unison towards Rango, or more precisely, towards the Infinity Gauntlet in Rango's hand.

As all the particles condensed, a gem shining with red light suddenly appeared next to the purple power gem.

“Reality Gem.”

Rango's eyes lit up with interest, and he raised his gloves to experience the power of the Reality Gem. However, the collector beside him immediately came up nervously and stopped him.

"NO!"

He grabbed Rango's arm tightly and said nervously, "The Reality Stone is different from the Power Stone. It can change the structure of all matter from the root of things. It can turn what you think into reality, which is commonly known as making your wishes come true. This is your first time using it, so be careful not to destroy all my treasures."

"Don't worry, I'll just give it a try~"

Rango stared at the reality gem on his glove and had an idea.

The next second, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.

Mavis, who was selecting treasures, suddenly straightened her body, and the two lumps on her chest suddenly swelled up rapidly.
"Nice--!"

Rango pumped his fist excitedly, he was sure that he had found a great use for the Reality Stone!

The collector looked around blankly. Breast enlargement? After this earthling got the Reality Gem, his first thought was to enlarge his woman's breasts? !
Rango didn't care about other people's strange looks, but just when he was about to give Lucifer a try, his trouser leg was suddenly pulled by someone.

Looking down, Teddy was looking at him expectantly, and his hand was pointing at a certain part of himself.
--------

a few days later.

Vormir.

Calling it a planet may not be entirely appropriate, as there is no sign of life and its area is extremely small.

But in a corner of this space, lies the greatest treasure of the universe, and also the most mysterious of the Infinity Stones - the Soul Stone.

boom--!
A deafening explosion suddenly sounded at the highest peak of the planet, accompanied by a destructive blue flame that quickly expanded and enveloped the entire mountain.

However, when the flames gradually dissipated, the explosion that was powerful enough to destroy any mountain in the world failed to cause any damage to the black mountain. It still stood tall in the sky, motionless.

"Hu Xing, you are awesome!"

In front of him, two hundred-meter-high black stone pillars stood side by side. Rango flexed his wrist after performing the atomic fist and stared at the two stone pillars with dissatisfaction.

Next to him, a man wearing a black cloak and with skin like a red skull said carefully: "This mountain is protected by the power of the gem. Even if the planet is destroyed, the mountain will exist forever."

Rango nodded slightly, his brows furrowed.

He hadn't just arrived on Vormir. In fact, he had come here the next day on the Collector's spaceship after celebrating in the Void.

I originally thought that with my current strength, I could easily get the Soul Stone like snatching a bottle from a baby, but the reality now is very different.

"Believe me, Rango, we are all compatriots of Earth. If you can take the gem, I can also regain my freedom, right?" There was a hint of flattery in the Red Skull's tone. It was really because he was deeply shocked by Rango's strength. If it were somewhere else, the entire planet would probably be smashed to pieces by his punch.

"Don't be happy too soon, Red Skull!" A righteous voice suddenly came from the crowd who followed Rango to wander the universe.

Captain America stared at the Red Skull with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Even if you escape from here, what awaits you will be lifelong imprisonment on Earth!"

"Haha, Steve! You can't imagine how much I miss your voice!" Red Skull looked at Captain America with eager eyes. If he was able to leave the range of the stone pillar, he would have rushed up to hug him.

On this lonely and deserted planet, he has been guarding the stone pillar for decades without eating or drinking. Let alone his old rival Captain America, even if a dog came now, he would jump for joy.

“Must I sacrifice the life of a loved one?”

Rango shook his head helplessly. If the conditions were really so harsh, he would have no choice but to give up the gem.

At this moment, seeing that Rango was about to back down, the Red Skull suddenly became anxious. He had waited for so many years and finally saw the hope of getting the gem. In order to regain his freedom, he quickly turned his brain and came up with a clever plan.

"Actually... Rango, if you want this gem, you don't necessarily have to go and get it yourself, right?" Red Skull directly suggested: "You can find a couple in love, force them to sacrifice each other, and then take the gem from them. Isn't that easier?"

"."

Rango looked at Red Skull speechlessly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have a wife?"

The Red Skull was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Uh, no."

"Then what are you talking about?"

Rango took a deep breath and smacked his lips.

The Red Skull is indeed a villain, and the suggestions he made were extremely sinister.

However, if you do it yourself, there may be a way to take the Soul Stone smoothly without any psychological burden.
