I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Peggy and Pepper had originally wanted to go, but after Tony and Banner persuaded them, they decided not to join in the fun.

Tony, Banner, Thor, Loki, and Steve immediately set off to meet at the location the prophet had mentioned.

Tony and his group soon arrived at the collector's mansion.

This was an enormous mansion, and outside the mansion lay a desolate wasteland, clearly scorched by terrible flames.

That's why the smell here isn't as pungent as in other places.

The group then entered the collector's mansion, where Tony immediately saw some biological specimens preserved in jars.

Tony and Banner didn't seem to notice anything at this point.

As a scientist, Tony knew that some biological specimens had research value, so it wasn't surprising that collectors had such items.

If you have some expectations in your mind, you naturally won't feel much.

However, Thor, Loki, and Steve were all somewhat shaken.

Chapter 409 A Triumphant Return

"This collector has some really unusual tastes."

Loki saw a bizarre, eight-headed worm without a mouth or nose soaking in a jar, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"I have a lot of collections, but many of them seem to have only some research and artistic value."

Whether something is precious or not depends on the individual.

Tony looked at the series of alien specimens and the paintings with a unique style hanging on the wall, and said thoughtfully.

While he may not be as wealthy as a collector in the universe, Tony, as one of the richest men on Earth, does have the discerning eye to judge the value of things.

These paintings may have some value, but they are not of very high value.

If the price exceeds the value of the painting itself, it's just a matter of secretly manipulating the price to buy the portrait.

Tony's money doesn't need to be laundered, so although he occasionally buys some artworks that match his aesthetic taste, it's not much.

More often, there are luxury homes and high-tech properties whose value is immediately apparent.

"I don't really like this kind of thing."

"Instead of spending money on this kind of thing, it's better to spend more money on good food and fine wine."

Upon seeing these things, Thor immediately expressed his thoughts.

In Thor's view, what is valuable as a god are the people, the comfortable temples they live in, and all sorts of divine artifacts.

As for anything that possesses artistic value, he considers it worthless.

"I don't quite understand the mindset of wealthy people. Do these things really have collectible value?"

Steve followed suit and carefully examined the paintings on the walls on both sides of the corridor. He found that no matter how he looked at them, he couldn't see any beauty in them, and then he spoke up.

"Aesthetic sense is subjective and varies from person to person, so perhaps it does have a tiny bit of value."

Banner smiled and said upon hearing this.

As they walked forward, they saw a stunningly beautiful woman ahead of them.

The woman's presence made the entire collection in the house look much better.

"Lacy, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't you go to rest?"

Tony recognized the figure immediately upon seeing it from behind and asked, somewhat surprised.

“Miss Sonia knows I’ve seen a lot of things, so she was sent here to appraise the origins of these collections.”

"Write down what you know clearly, and label what you don't know as 'unknown'."

"After it's transported back to Void Island, we'll find a professional to help with the appraisal."

Lacey heard Tony's voice, turned around, and said with a smile.

She has already authenticated all the paintings of the specimens in the row of aisles in front of her.

For example, what species does this specimen belong to, and what characteristics and abilities does it possess?

Moreover, it wasn't just Lacey who was conducting the appraisal; seven other members of the Void God Cult were also examining and recording the artifacts.

After the items were identified and submitted, Miss Sonia reviewed which items needed to be taken back and which did not need to be burned.

"The way you hold a pen is quite unique."

Loki looked at Lacey, who had a pair of glasses that seemed to be flashing with data, and a pen in her hand, and she looked rather intellectual. He then spoke.

There's a lot you don't know.

Lacey knew, of course, that Loki meant that her current appearance was completely different from when she displayed her power, but she didn't mind and said with a smile.

Where are Alex and the others?

Thor asked Lacey directly after seeing her.

"Lex is inside with Kyle and Renoir, moving things around."

Lacey pointed out the way after hearing this.

"If you find any collectibles similar to these instruments, please let us know."

When Tony heard Lacey making an appraisal, he immediately tapped the space communicator and sent out a projection.

"it is good."

After hearing this, Lacey glanced at the projection and agreed.

Tony and his group then followed the road inside and saw Alex, Kyle, and Renoir carrying things.

“Alex, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I might have committed a terrible crime.”

Can we talk now?

When Thor saw Alex, he went straight over, expressed his gratitude, and then asked him something.

“Miss Sonia has already said that your crime is not serious enough to warrant punishment.”

"So don't feel too guilty. Just be careful not to make the same stupid mistakes on the battlefield again."

"As for talking about it, I don't have time right now. We can talk about it when I'm done and back on Void Island."

Upon hearing Thor's words, Alex paused in his movement of the large machinery and spoke.

"Row."

Saul, upon hearing of the foolish act, neither became angry nor denied it, but agreed.

"Since you've agreed, then hurry up and help."

"Some of the larger items need to be appraised first, and then we'll see whether we should take them back or sell them directly."

Alex saw that Thor had agreed and spoke frankly.

"Tony, you're here. This is all the data on the collected items."

"You and Banner should take a good look and see if there's anything you want to take first."

"Then hurry up and come help."

When Renault saw Tony arrive, he simply tossed a transparent panel over to him.

"Ah."

Tony took the task and immediately began looking it up with Banner.

While seeing the artifacts in person would certainly be more immersive, their purpose here is to select them, and it wouldn't be too late to help them after they've made their selections.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Steve spoke up first.

“Those items over there haven’t been authenticated yet. Could you please move them to Lacy’s place so she can get them authenticated?”

Kyle smiled and said that.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Steve immediately went over to help move the things.

The collector's collection is not only abundant in his luxurious mansion above ground, but also hidden in the completely excavated underground, with a quantity of at least hundreds of thousands of items.

This discovery prompted Sonia to immediately send members of the Cult of the Void to help.

With the help of hundreds of members of the Void God Cult, it took a full half month to complete the inventory of all these collections.

Tony and Banner successfully found the instrument they wanted.

Although it is not the same model as the one used on Xandar, and the instruments are somewhat outdated and seem to be products of a much earlier era.

But Tony and Fangfa were overjoyed when they found out it worked.

With these instruments, they could finally begin formal research on their sub-light-speed thruster engine.

Moreover, the collector has stockpiled not only the instruments, but also many special metal materials that they originally planned to buy at a high price.

While slow and steady development is indeed a stable path to wealth, robbing is the true path to riches.

The collector has so many items in his possession, and over the years he has been targeted by countless people, but he has survived thanks to the protection of the High Priest.

But now that they've run into Kassadin, the god of the void, they're all in the hands of the Void Cult.

After Renoli intervened and hired someone to watch over the Void Lands for half a month, the Void Lands were finally secured.

Many members of the Void God Cult also began their return journey.

This attack on the Void not only allowed them to witness the divine power of the great Void God Kassadin.

The gains made all members of the Void God Cult realize that the Void God Cult's development was about to take off like a spaceship, truly returning with a full harvest.

As soon as the group returned to the familiar void island of Xandar, they immediately began to celebrate.

Sonia, on the other hand, went straight back to the villa on the mountaintop and, upon seeing Mr. Kassadin, began to report on her gains.

The collector is indeed very wealthy, with over two trillion in Cosmic Coins alone, and that's just the amount stored in Cosmic Coins.
