I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"The Void God Cult is relatively new, so it has a small number of members."

"But on the surface, with only Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, there is a force that has directly squeezed into the ranks of the major powers."

"And in private, there are also two top-level cosmic beings, Odin and the Grandmaster."

"Even the Xandar Empire could be brought under Lord Kassadin's control at any time."

"Therefore, being able to serve the Void God Cult should not be described with the word 'fallen,' but rather with the words 'promotion' or 'honor.'"

Banner said slowly.

The Xandar Empire's main protected star system is right next to the Kree Empire.

If it weren't for the rise of the Xandar Empire, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way would both be Kree territory.

According to the history of the Xandarian civilization, protecting two massive star clusters was already the limit.

The Xandar Empire's civilization is currently facing some bottlenecks, and its total human resources are limited.

If no one is eyeing it covetously, it can protect more star systems.

But the Kree Empire was waiting for an opportunity to swallow up the Xandar Empire.

The Kree Empire was able to occupy so much territory without much impact because it never intended to protect the civilizations within its sphere of influence.

After conquering and destroying various civilizations, and then plundering their valuable possessions, they can be discarded without any regard for the lives of the beings born from those civilizations.

It is common knowledge that destruction is always easier than creation or protection.

Stephen now fully understands the Void God Cult's place in the universe.

To put it simply, Nikolai is equivalent to a village head, mayor, county head, or governor.

After serving the Void God Cult and taking charge of the Void Land, he was directly promoted to a high-ranking national position.

Although it may not be the largest, above Nikorov are members of the Cult of the Void, who are subject to Miss Lacey, the administrator of the Void.

Above them stood Sonia, the Void Goddess, and Lord Kassadin, the Void God and founder of the Void Cult.

Even so, it is still considered a promotion and cannot be described as a downfall.

"I see, I understand completely now."

"That's the importance of having a powerful backer."

After Stephen figured out the difference, he suddenly understood.

"As long as you understand."

"By relying on the Void God Cult, they have directly risen from a third-rate stage to a truly grand stage."

"Moreover, on this big stage, as long as you don't do anything reckless, not many people will dare to mess with you."

Tony smiled and said upon hearing this.

This was a gathering of top-tier powerhouses who had previously met, including Kassadin, the Grandmaster, Odin, and one of the Sorcerers Supreme.

This also illustrates that even in the realm of the soul...

You can either wander alone, build your own power from scratch, or find a backer or a powerful force to join.

Only then can one live extremely comfortably in the realm of the soul.

"But if that's the case, then isn't Earth, which hasn't yet entered interstellar civilization, currently equivalent to a village?"

Stephen's knowledge had been greatly broadened, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"From the perspective of technological civilization, any civilization that has not ventured beyond its own planet into the universe is considered one of the weakest civilizations."

"However, in terms of safety, Earth was originally protected by Odin, the king of the nine realms, and the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, making it equivalent to a major power in the universe."

"Apart from disputes that arise spontaneously within Earth."

"Ordinary forces and powerful individuals from outside of Earth would never dare to plot against Earth."

Banner smiled upon hearing this.

"This also means that any enemy in the material realm that dares to target Blue Star must be an extremely powerful force."

"For example, Thanos, the Ancient One made some records about him in the books."

"It has been clearly stated that the previous Chitauri attack was ordered by Thanos."

"He certainly won't let this go so easily."

Stephen's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Banner's words, and he spoke up.

"I'm not afraid of him coming; I'm afraid he won't come."

"If he dares to come, I'll leave his life on Earth."

"The feud between our Earth and Thanos is not so easy to resolve."

Tony heard Thanos's gaze and a sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Thanos's existence has put too much pressure on him for a long time, to the point that he was so busy that he couldn't breathe.

The year 2017, which Kassadin predicted Thanos would arrive, is now very close.

He knew that the future Kassadin spoke of was the future they were destined to face.

He is now more than just Tony Stark, the Iron Man superhero who has some fame on Earth.

Instead, it was Tony Stark, the Void Pioneer, backed by the Cult of the Void.

He really wanted to see if Thanos would dare to come.

They dare not wait for Earth's technology to develop and give them a few more years to evolve.

He was about to gather Banner, Thor, Steve, and the others to actively hunt down Thanos.

The Battle of New York was only lost because they handled it well, resulting in very few casualties.

If not handled properly, Earth will face utter devastation.

With others attacking his own territory, Tony certainly couldn't forget this grudge.

He hasn't gone directly to their door yet because he's still not confident enough in his own abilities.

If Thanos attacks next year, they will be forced to fight even if they don't want to, and if they can't win, they will have to ask the Cult of the Void for help.

If he could wait a little longer and didn't need to ask the Cult of the Void for help, Tony certainly wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Because he likes to be fully prepared before facing various dangers, he is never lacking in patience.

"You also know that Thanos was the mastermind behind the Chitauri army?"

Stephen was somewhat surprised to see Tony's murderous look.

“We didn’t know at first either, but Lacey combined the information she had.”

"They helped us analyze that the person behind the Chitauri army was Thanos."

Banner shrugged and said.

"Analyzed?"

Stephen found this somewhat unbelievable.

"What's so strange about that?"

"The Void God Cult has a great many talented people."

"You'll understand once you've spent more time on Void Island and gotten to know the other members."

Tony, upon hearing this, acted as if he were making a big fuss, but remained remarkably calm.

With an eternal lifespan and steadily increasing strength, and progressing in the direction they wish to evolve, the number of people in the Void God Cult will only increase in the future.

Chapter 544 Why is she afraid of you?

Tony and Banner continued to explain to Stephen the fundamental principles upon which major powers depend for survival, as well as some of the rules of the universe.

The day passed quickly, and it was December 19th.

On this day, Nikorov and Lady Butterfly also arrived at Xandar in their spaceship.

The territory of the Xandar Empire was only visited by them when they first began their journey through space.

I haven't been there since.

Upon entering the planetary orbit, Nikorov was subjected to some routine questioning.

Nikorov also stated that he was the Void God's appointed agent in the Void.

I'm just here to take a look around Void Island, and I plan to leave in a maximum of two weeks.

"How long you stay is your business, but don't start a war on Xandar."

Knowing that these two people were connected to the Cult of the Void, the Nova Corps officers simply let them pass.

They have also received news that Kassadin, the Void God, plans to manifest this year, which will cause some commotion, but there is no need to worry.

Niklov's warships followed the planetary route into Xandar.

"Nickrov"

"Why do you think Lady Lacey summoned us here?"

Beside Nikorov, a woman in a gold strapless dress with healthy brown skin, looking incredibly beautiful and sexy, asked somewhat nervously.

"You'll see when we get there; there were no problems with our work."

"On the contrary, the situation has been well-organized, and it is unlikely that there will be any punishment or similar measures."

Nikorov spoke up upon hearing this.

He didn't know why he had called them here, but they did whatever Lacey told them to do.

Since I've been asked to come to Void Island, this is my top priority.

"That's true, but we should be able to meet Hercules Kyle when we get to the Void Isle, right?"

"I don't really want to see Hercules Kyle..."

Lady Butterfly spoke up upon hearing this.
