Chapter 79 Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land
Chapter 79 Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land
The City of All Powers!
This is a unified city where countless gods and pantheons from across the universe converge.
Honestly, looking at that magnificent, golden city in the distance, Hanlu wanted to say it was too ostentatious, but then she saw the blazing sun overhead—
Uh, is that really the sun?
They had now arrived at the foot of this enormous golden palace. Even Hanlu stared wide-eyed in astonishment at everything before her.
All I can say is that some things look fine from a distance, but once you get close, the sheer size and the sheer fear they evoke really make the difference!
Imagine a colossal mountain of gold pressing down on you; anyone would find it hard to breathe.
Although money is no longer a material possession for Hanlu, who doesn't like gold?
But as the caravan gradually began to sail into the golden capital city nestled among the boundless clouds, everyone felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
"It's too quiet."
Out of basic military caution, John, who was piloting the spaceship, did not land immediately, but instead continued to circle around at a distance.
But as he said, isn't the city a little too quiet?
Honestly, even in this golden city, with the golden sun still hanging high above everyone's heads, no one felt any warmth; instead, they felt a chill run down their spines.
Honestly, I feel like if I add a few eerie background music to my music, I'd almost be as good as Uncle Ying's little tunes next door.
The question is, do they have Uncle Ying here?
Okay, that's not the point.
"How about we go back first? Actually, I have a third option. Although the cost is a bit unusual, it's always better to be conservative."
Yes, that's right, it's time to hurry home during the Cold Dew season.
Honestly, after what happened with Doctor Doom, he always felt like someone was secretly watching him from below, making him feel uneasy.
"No! I can sense what's happening inside. It's horrific, it's heartbreaking. We have to go in."
No one has said anything about the suggestion regarding Hanlu.
After all, if there were a safer way, they wouldn't want to take any more risks.
But then Thor suddenly moved closer to the glass window, gazing longingly at the City of the Omnipotent before him.
Faced with Thor's pleading gaze, Hanlu really wanted to just throw a retort and then fly home in his spaceship without another word, but he had a very serious problem!
First of all! He can't fly a spaceship.
Ah, that's right.
Of the five people present, whether it's Thor, Loki, Valkyrie, or even John, a soldier, they all know how to pilot a spaceship, but him...
Is that red button the self-destruct button?
Furthermore, that's not the point. The point is that, under the scrutiny of everyone (excluding Loki), everyone expressed their approval of it.
"I know it won't make a difference if I vote against it, so..."
Hanlu shrugged, and the others immediately burst out laughing.
There's no way around it; they're a team, and superheroes at that. You can't just be about to throw yourself into a great heroic cause and then run back to your nest like a coward the next second.
Besides, you should know that there are three and a half "Heavenly Fathers" standing inside this spaceship.
Yes, that's right. Hanlu did the math and counted herself as one, Thor as one, John after his transformation as one, and Valkyrie and Loki together as half a person.
After a brief exchange, the spaceship gradually began to approach the golden city.
As they drew closer, they seemed to vaguely see a small black dot jumping up and down under the sun.
"Hey! Can you see me? There's still a survivor here! Hey!!"
Accompanied by a cheerful cry for help that was not at all urgent, Thor's eyes gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and he even patted Loki and Valkyrie on the shoulders with some excitement.
"Hey, see that? It's Kogg! He's still alive."
As the spaceship drew closer under John's control, even Hanlu could clearly see the muscular stone man.
It can only be said that he has a high level of liking for this comedian who is quite good in movies.
What's this guy doing here?
Then, as the stone man Kog jumped and waved his arms high, he was so surprised and excited when he noticed that the spaceship had seen him that he shouted even more loudly.
The spaceship came to a steady stop at the edge of the platform above the City of Omnipotence.
Thor was the first to open the hatch and went straight up to give Kogg a big hug.
"Hey buddy, that's awesome! You're alive! We can finally meet here!"
"Yes, that's why I'm so happy to see you. Do you know what's been happening here lately? It's terrifying."
Hanlu and John came out one after the other.
However, what made Hanlu feel a little awkward at first was that Kogg's calm and even slightly cheerful tone when he said "it's terrifying" felt a bit off.
"Ah, is this a new friend? I recognize you, you're Thor's lying brother."
Kogg hadn't expected to run into a group of acquaintances so far away, so he was incredibly excited.
At the same time, he also saw Loki next to him, but as soon as he pointed, Loki turned his head away uncomfortably, not wanting to pay any attention to the stone monster.
Honestly, how did he end up dragging this guy into it when he was causing trouble?
Although he's quite good at fighting, he's so silly.
The Valkyrie went up and bumped fists with Kog, as if to reminisce about their friendship from back on Sakaar.
"Um, I'd like to ask you, Mr. Koger, do you know what's happened on this planet? Like, where did those gods go?"
As I said before, John's professionalism kept him focused on the environment on site.
Although the presence of a living person in front of them told them that there shouldn't be much danger here, he still felt it was necessary to scout out the surrounding environment.
"Yes, yes, yes! Kogg, tell me quickly, what exactly happened here? Where did everyone go? And why did you come here?"
Upon hearing this, Kogg stopped his enthusiastic embrace and put Loki, who was almost suffocating from being suffocated, aside. The rocky fingers on the stone gently rested on his chin, as if he were pondering something.
"Well, I have some bad news to tell you. The gods here may have all perished."
After hearing this, all five of them tilted their heads.
"???"
