Although it wasn't a real mission and they weren't on the mission roster, they had genuinely taken part in it.
The chat group might not acknowledge it — but that was fine. They acknowledged it, and that was enough.
Skeletal Mage: "No need for thanks."
Skeletal Mage: "They were just some insignificant things to me."
Dance of Death: "Skeletal Mage-kun is far too humble. What is insignificant to you is a truly precious gift to us."
Dance of Death: "Your kindness, we will always remember."
White Rabbit: "Shiba inu nodding.jpg"
Utaha: "Although the opportunity may never come, if there is ever anything we can help with, please do not hesitate to ask!"
The three of them were completely sincere about it.
To Skeletal Mage, he had simply given away some things he thought they might need. But to Utaha and the others, it was no less than a change in their destiny.
It was precisely because of Skeletal Mage's gifts that they were able to take part in this mission — killing and harvesting Frost Giants for points.
The points weren't many, but they were enough for a few lottery draws or a round of Ten Thousand Worlds Fishing.
If their luck held and they pulled a powerful ability — the Godslayer Authority, a Buxu World异能, Dōjutsu bloodline, or a Divine Tree Fruit — it would be a instant elevation beyond anything they could achieve on their own.
Even if they didn't fish, they could buy plenty of useful goods.
The most expensive items were out of reach, but cheaper, practical elixirs they could purchase in bulk.
If they couldn't use them themselves, they could give them to family or friends.
That kind of kindness — it had to be remembered.
Skeletal Mage could afford to dismiss it, but they could not.
Skeletal Mage: "Is that so. Understood."
Skeletal Mage could see their determination, and didn't press the point further.
Demon Queen: "Huh? You're all back already?"
Demon Queen: "The mission's over? Then why am I still here?"
Demon Queen: "Oh right, I bought my own shuttle talisman."
Demon Queen: "Never mind then."
Loki: "."
He had actually forgotten about this woman.
Loki: "How did your harvest go?"
If her returns were decent, she had to go back immediately!
If they were terrible? She still had to go back!
Demon Queen: "How do I put it… not bad, I guess."
Demon Queen: "The tech side was underwhelming — not on the same wavelength as our god-body system, though there were some similar elements."
Demon Queen: "But there were some pretty unscientific life forms."
Demon Queen: "Galactus. Can you believe it?!"
Just thinking about what she'd seen had Morgana practically speechless.
It had actually swallowed a whole planet.
And the kicker — the scans showed it was just a pure, unaltered organism. No technological modifications whatsoever.
Its genes had changed after consuming the planet, but it was like adding a single leaf to a tree branch. No real change to the whole.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Galactus?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "You mean the Planet Eater from Marvel?"
Demon Queen: "[image.jpg]"
Morgana sent a photo directly. Su Yunqing and the others curiously tapped to take a look.
Round. Enormous.
Looked like a planet, only more oval in shape.
Ordinary Group Leader: "What even is this?"
That wasn't what the Planet Eater looked like, either.
Richest Man: "Normal."
Richest Man: "The universe is vast. You don't need to be surprised by any form of life."
Richest Man: "Just because it didn't appear in the storyline doesn't mean it doesn't exist in reality."
Tony said it without a trace of concern.
Truthfully, seeing Galactus had worried Tony a bit at first.
Even though it was in Loki's world, Loki's world and his were parallel in nature.
Normally, if something existed in Loki's world, there was a very high probability it also existed in his.
After all — it was a life form capable of swallowing planets! If it ever came to Earth, who knew what would happen.
But then Thor thought about the Purple Potato Head, Dormammu, and all those other heavyweights.
At that point, what was there to worry about anymore?
It was already like this. What was one more?
Loki: "So you got nothing useful, then?"
Demon Queen: "I mean, I did get something."
Demon Queen: "I killed it. The recycling price was decent."
Demon Queen: "Kept some for research. Sold the rest."
Morgana said it like it was nothing.
Then the scene in front of her shifted directly — she was sent back to her own world.
"Ding. Group member Loki has banned other group members from traveling to his world."
Demon Queen: "."
You f***ing legend!
Most Ancient Godslayer: "@Shendu. Virtual Battle Arena."
Vovin had not taken part in the war between Asgard and Jotunheim.
None of the Frost Giants except Laufey were worth his attention, and he had no desire to fight any of them — even with Hela's power enhancement.
So Vovin had only casually hunted a few Frost Giants near the end of the war, just enough to recoup his travel expenses, and then stopped.
But he had never forgotten the previous challenge issued by Shendu to Uchiha Madara and Morgana.
The challengers didn't include him?!
Was Vovin supposed to accept that?
Fine — Shendu wanted to defeat Uchiha Madara and wash away his past defeat.
Then Vovin would defeat Shendu first!
Shendu: "Consider it a warm-up before fighting Uchiha Madara."
Shendu: "I hope you won't disappoint me too much."
Most Ancient Godslayer: "Those words should come from me."
Most Ancient Godslayer: "You have no idea what kind of opponent you're facing."
"Ding. Group member [Most Ancient Godslayer] has opened the Virtual Battle Arena."
"Ding. Group member [Shendu] has entered the Virtual Battle Arena."
Uchiha Dance King: "@Demon Queen. One round."
Demon Queen: "Yeah yeah yeah, sure. Given my mood today is pretty good, I'll mess around with you for a bit."
"Ding. Group member [Uchiha Dance King] has opened the Virtual Battle Arena."
"Ding. Group member [Demon Queen] has entered the Virtual Battle Arena."
Ordinary Group Leader: "In they go again."
Ordinary Group Leader: "They really do love competing, don't they?"
Whitebeard: "Gurararara — after all, when you first joined the group you were stronger than them, and then you got surpassed."
Whitebeard: "Of course you'd feel indignant about it."
Ice Queen: "Aren't you indignant too, though?"
Ice Queen: "Sure, you're stronger now than when you first joined the group. But you've barely kept up with the others — you've even become the weakest of this bunch."
Whitebeard: "."
"Ding. Group member [Ice Queen] has opened the Virtual Battle Arena."
Ice Queen: "One round."
"Ding. Group member Whitebeard has entered the Virtual Battle Arena."
The mission had barely ended and three Virtual Battle Arenas opened in quick succession.
Su Yunqing and the others didn't even know what to say.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Should we open one too?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Feels a little out of place if we don't…"
