"What special news."
Pointing to outer space, Garfield told the Collector with a serious expression, "I suggest you move your collection over the next few years. One day in the future, someone will come and destroy the entire Void."
"Impossible. The Void has existed in the universe for a very long time. The essence of its bones and spinal cord is needed by many forces in the universe, unless..."
The Collector paused, already having an answer in his heart.
"I suppose you already have the answer. Do as you wish."
Garfield opened a portal and departed, leaving the Collector pondering.
Shortly after Garfield left, several Ravager ships arrived at the outskirts of the Void.
The Ravagers were the legion formed by Stakar Ogord, who rushed over immediately after noticing the anomalies in the Void.
Through the warships scanning the interior of the Void, Stakar Ogord saw no signs of anyone emerging.
He also scanned the surrounding area, finding no living beings except for some residual lightning forces.
Had they already left, or were they hiding somewhere.
Having spent many years navigating the universe, Stakar Ogord decided to observe for the time being.
After waiting for half an hour with no movement, Stakar Ogord instructed his adjutant, "Prepare my fighter. I am going in to check. Keep a watchful eye on things."
"Yes, sir."
Stakar Ogord walked to the hangar, where his subordinates had already prepared his personal fighter.
He entered the cockpit, checked to confirm there were no abnormalities, released the craft from the landing gear, activated the afterburner, and piloted his fighter into the Void.
On the way, he activated the shield to guard against any sneak attacks.
However, when Stakar Ogord landed in the Void, he frowned at the empty streets.
He could accurately sense that there were a large number of living people in the Void, but no one came out.
Stakar Ogord could not help but frown.
Things seemed complicated.
He needed drones to help.
He raised his left hand, opened his personal terminal, and released dozens of drones deployed from the fighter to scan the entire Void.
After a swarm of silver gray drones conducted a search, Stakar Ogord, through his personal terminal projection, spotted the only damaged building in the true Void.
Could the incident have occurred at the Collector's lair, the home of Taneleer Tivan.
Stakar Ogord knew of the renowned Collector Taneleer Tivan, a man of wealth, power, and influence, whose collection included many rare and even extinct items from various races.
If you wanted rare items, he was the one to contact.
He likely had a collection.
Whether a deal would be made depended on the offer price and the collector's valuation.
Stakar Ogord had dealt with the Collector Taneleer Tivan extensively during his time as a Ravager and as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, becoming acquainted.
They had even clashed over items, their alliances and conflicts fleeting, neither ever resorting to violence.
It was not impossible that the trouble was caused by the Collector Taneleer Tivan.
After telling his subordinates to be on guard, he controlled the drone and followed it into Taneleer Tivan's lair.
At the entrance, Stakar Ogord did not notice anything unusual, just a few glass cabinets displaying various rare cosmic creatures collected by Taneleer Tivan.
Further in, Stakar Ogord saw Taneleer Tivan crouching in a pit, looking disheveled and lost in thought.
Sensing the faint residual power at the edge of the pit, which matched the attributes his confidant had sensed on the outskirts of the Void, Stakar Ogord confirmed his suspicions.
The trouble must have been caused by the Collector Taneleer Tivan.
He must have thought the other party was foolish and rich, trying to make a quick profit, only to find out the other party was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Tivan, looks like you misjudged your guest this time."
Hearing the voice of his old acquaintance, the Ravager Stakar Ogord, Taneleer Tivan looked up, forcing a helpless smile. "Yes, I misjudged him. I thought it was just a cute little kitten."
"And what happened."
"The result is a Void Calamity Dragon."
Also known as the Void Destruction Dragon, it was a notorious beast in other dimensions, its individual power rivaling that of a Celestial.
Indeed, wherever they appeared, civilizations perished.
Stakar Ogord and Taneleer Tivan had encountered a Void Calamity Dragon years ago and clashed with it.
Relying on their superior numbers and resources, they held off the dragon and managed to force it back after a series of attacks and deceptions.
If it had been a true fight to the death, the fate of their Guardians of the Galaxy would have been uncertain.
Today, the Collector Taneleer Tivan used this very term to describe his guest, indicating that this creature was no ordinary opponent.
This piqued Stakar Ogord's curiosity.
"Tivan, who exactly is he."
Taneleer Tivan stood up, dusting off some nonexistent dust, and said unhappily, "A special Flerken individual that looks like an orange cat."
A Flerken.
"Is this Flerken related to the frenzied revenge a few years ago in the universe."
Taneleer Tivan shook his head. "I do not know, but it has a special name. Maybe you can find out some information."
"What is his name. Tell me."
"Garfield Odinson."
Stakar Ogord exclaimed, "The legendary Odin's newly adopted son."
"It seems you already know. That is what he is called. He also has teleportation magic. I think he is just a Flerken in appearance. Maybe he is some kind of magical creature created by Odin."
Stakar Ogord knew what Odin had done in the past.
He had been an avenger protecting the universe and a bloodthirsty conqueror.
Now, a powerful offspring had appeared.
Was Odin about to cause trouble again.
This was not good news.
If Odin was going to launch a military campaign to conquer the universe, it would be another catastrophe.
Stakar Ogord frowned and remained silent.
Taneleer Tivan, sensing his thoughts, comforted him, saying, "Perhaps it is not what you imagine. You and I both know why Odin withdrew from the limelight back then. He probably will not do anything more unless he is absolutely certain. However, I have a deal for you. I wonder if you would be interested."
A curious look crossed Stakar Ogord's face as he stared at Taneleer Tivan.
Perhaps embarrassed by the gaze, Taneleer Tivan explained, "I feel it is unsafe to continue storing my collection in the Void. I plan to move some of it to Xandar."
