Chapter 200 Life Energy, Taming Rocket Raccoon

The currency in the Marvel Universe is completely useless to Rhodes, Sargeras, and others.

However, Rhodes's main goal was to take the raccoon away. Coercion wouldn't work, so he had to resort to bribery.

"Of course, I'm Rocket, and I've already locked onto that kid named Star-Lord's spaceship and his planet," Rocket said.

"So, do you want to go see Quill first to get the Orb of the Universe and find that mysterious buyer, or do you want to go find Ego first?" Yondu asked.

To be honest, he's starting to wonder what exactly this so-called cosmic orb is.

He hadn't paid much attention when someone asked them to find it before, but now Yondu was starting to care, after all, it was 40 billion!

All those scavengers combined haven't earned that much money over the years.

"You don't need to know this right now. Knowing too much about the things inside the Cosmic Orb won't do you any good," Rhodes said.

Rhodes, along with Yondu himself, the raccoon, Groot, and a captive named Yondu, boarded his spaceship. As for the remaining scavengers...

Rhodes left them locally, saying they would take off on their own once they woke up. Yondu, who had left the spaceship, had already left them some messages beforehand.

The gist of it is that I need to accompany some people to run some errands, and they should go back to the scavengers' base first. I will go back to them after I finish running the errands.

"I have a question for you two. How did you get to this desolate planet? There shouldn't be any other ships around here besides my two scavenger ships," Yondu said, looking at Rocket and Groot.

"Oh! You mean that? Your men are a bit too stupid. I just managed to sneak onto your ship," Rocket said nonchalantly.

"Hmph! Looks like I'll have to teach the gatekeeper a lesson when we get back."

"Absolutely! You have to find a reliable person for the goalkeeper job. The big oaf you picked, haha!" Rocket Yondu and Groot were chatting enthusiastically in the outer compartment.

Meanwhile, Rhodes, Sargeras, and the others from Azeroth were in the inner cabin.

"Rhodes, what exactly is inside that cosmic orb?"

"The Power Stone, one of the Infinity Stones, is inside the Sphere of the Universe, and its buyer is the Collector."

Shortly after, a Reality Gem was delivered.

The remaining Infinity Stones—the Time Stone and the Mind Stone—are on Earth, the Space Stone is in Asgard, and the Soul Stone is rather special. However, if Thanos were told its exact location, he would likely go and sacrifice his daughter. (The Battle of New York had already taken place by this time; it had occurred just a few months after Thor's story ended.)

"Is this the kind of energy you gave me? If so, I can try to absorb the power of this Infinity Stone," Azeroth said.

Now that her complete soul has arrived, she can naturally absorb more Infinity Stone energy.

"This time, we'll get our hands on that Power Gem first, and then take the son of this cosmic god to kill him. His son inherited his divine power and should be able to influence his true form."

"You mean they, father and son, will kill each other! Why would that be?"

"His situation is a bit special. This guy is a super stud, leaving his offspring all over the universe. The mother of this direct descendant was killed by his father himself."

"So you know, if we tell him all this, his son will definitely help us, and might even join our side," Rod said.

"His son is someone I could meet; I'm quite curious about the offspring of gods and men," Sargeras said.

As Titans, they cannot give birth to life unless the other party is also a Titan. Sargeras was quite interested in the son of the gods in this universe, even though the other party was deformed.

"Mr. Sa, should we bring that member of the Celestial Race from Earth back this time?"

"I plan to study the opponent's strength first. We must fully understand your enemy before we can make a move."

Our goal this time is to seize the energy of those two Infinity Stones you mentioned.

"Then capture this cosmic god deformity, and his son, and that will be enough," Sargeras said.

Sargeras, who restores the power of order, would not do anything irrational.

"That's fine. The Celestials are still very powerful. It's not a good choice to offend them rashly," Rhodes nodded and said.

After chatting for a while, Rhodes and Azeroth returned to their rooms.

"You seem very interested in that raccoon. Is there anything special about it, based on my observation?"

"It seems to be just an ordinary life form, or even just a modified experimental subject," Azeroth asked with some curiosity.

"I plan to bring him to our world. He is a very good scientific researcher if he is willing to help me."

"So no matter what kind of technological item it is, this little guy can handle it." Rhodes said.

Now that we've encountered Rocket, we have to bring him to Azeroth no matter what.

After chatting with Azeroth for a while, Rhodes got up and left. By then, the others outside had also dispersed, and Groot and Yondu had gone back to their rooms to sleep.

Rocket, on the other hand, sat to the side, fiddling with some high-tech gadgets.

"Your name is Rocket, right? Have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?" Rhodes sat down next to Rocket and asked.

"What will happen in the future? Heh! I never think about those things. All I want to do now is make money." After saying that, Rocket continued to fiddle with the parts in his hands.

There's likely to be a battle coming up, so he needs to get some big, handy stuff. Rocket found quite a few useful gadgets on this Skrull ship.

"Your manufacturing skills are excellent, and you're a top-notch scientist. How about you come work for me?" Rhodes asked.

"Ha! If I give you a job, how much can you afford to pay me?" Rocket looked up at Rhodes and asked.

This guy is quite discerning; he knows his own level. To put it bluntly, there are very few people in the entire universe who are smarter than him. In any case, he has never seen a life form smarter than himself.

However, he himself wouldn't live much longer, so if the other party could afford the price, the Rockets wouldn't be too averse to working for him.

"I know your origins. You are an artificial life form created by a process called Supreme Evolution."

Upon hearing this, Rocket's hand visibly trembled. He remained silent for a moment before looking up at Rod.

"You weren't ordered by him to arrest me, were you?"

No wonder he knew my worth! So he knew about Supreme Evolution. Could he have been sent by Supreme Evolution to capture me?

"He can't order me around. In fact, if you were willing to work for me, I would destroy him for you."

"I'm quite interested in that, but I don't have much time left. Even if I work for you, I won't be able to work for long."

"I have at most ten years left to live, but my original lifespan was less than twenty years," Rocket said.

"If you're willing, I can use my life energy to transform your body, turning you into a normal life form. You could live for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years without any problem," Rhodes said.

Sometimes, the world of mythology is just that bizarre. The ultimate perfect life form that the highest evolution desires—can you possibly surpass the Titans in perfection?

"Hahaha! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. You're not kidding, are you? I'm not easily fooled. My IQ is very high." Rocket lay on the ground, laughing loudly.

"You try it!" Rhodes placed his hand on Rocket Raccoon's head, and the creature instinctively tried to resist.

But the emerald green energy in Rhodes' palm made him feel incomparably comfortable and at ease.

A stream of emerald green life energy slowly entered Rocket Raccoon's body through Rhodes' palm.

Then they began to repair his body, his body that had been biologically modified and even spliced ​​together.

"Mmm! Uh! Oh, I mean, man, this is fucking comfortable."

"It's like soaking in a hot spring or lying in a forest, a kind of indescribable feeling of comfort," Rocket said with a blissful expression.

With the infusion of Rhodes' life energy, the parts of his body that had been spliced ​​together slowly fused together, and his own life energy also increased.

A few minutes later, Rod withdrew his hand.

"Your body is rather fragile. I only infused you with a little life force, and that reached your limit. Your lifespan should now be over a hundred years," Rhodes said.

"Really?" Rocket stood up with a skeptical look on his face. He felt incredibly light, his whole body brimming with vitality, strength, and inexhaustible energy.

"I am Groot." The tree-like Groot appeared here at some unknown time.

"You said the life energy in his body is very similar to that of your clan?"

"This is an extremely precious power; my lifespan has indeed been extended." Rocket asked Groot.

"I am Groot." The tree-like Groot nodded.

"That's right! Consider coming to work for me."

Oh! By the way! Groot, there are lots of tree people in my world.

"Young man, if you're willing to work for me, I can take you around and introduce you to some tree people," Rhodes said with a smile.

"I am Groot." Clearly, Rhodes' words had impressed Groot, who looked at Rocket Raccoon with anticipation.

"Okay! Okay! I only agreed because of you."

nailed it.
