Chapter 681: Chapter 586: Sovereign Energy Battery
Sovereign Star, Perfect Hall.
This is a golden building with complex, intertwined, yet smooth and concise metal lines, outlining a sci-fi futuristic style with a strong sense of lines, but the colors are very monotonous, light gold, dark gold, rose gold... various kinds of gold fill the entire building inside and out.
This is the temple of the Sovereigns.
An old enemy of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The Sovereigns have golden skin and golden hair, and other physical features are exactly the same as humans. However, unlike humans, the Sovereigns gave up the traditional way of reproduction long ago, and adopted the "fertility pod" method of test-tube babies plus genetic intervention to produce offspring.
Therefore, no matter what they look like, every Sovereign is tall, well-proportioned, handsome and beautiful, without showing the differences in height, weight and thinness that humans have. And their social division of labor is just like their appearance, which has been artificially designed at the genetic level from the beginning.
The Sovereigns are arrogant, conceited, and perfectionist, just like their appearance, just like Fulgrim in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Later, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 expanded the Sovereigns' settings: Like Rocket Raccoon, the Sovereigns are actually one of the creations of the super villain Supreme Evolution. Their style is completely in line with the characteristics of the perfect life that the Supreme Evolution wants to create, but for some reason they were eventually abandoned and became tools of the Supreme Evolution.
"I never expected..."
A cold shout rang out from the throne in the palace:
"You shameless thieves stole our energy batteries. Instead of hiding in the corners of the universe like a group of stray dogs, you dare to come back and seek death?"
At this time, a golden-skinned woman was sitting on the throne in the center of the hall, questioning. This woman was slender and tall, with a cold and mean face, wearing a complicated and exquisite sacrificial dress, with her long hair tied up.
Below the throne stood several members of the Galaxy Guard, wearing the same uniform. They were surrounded by armed Sovereign soldiers, and it seemed that they could not escape, but they showed no fear and remained calm.
"Respected High Priest Ayesha."
Star-Lord bowed slightly and said:
"The theft of your energy battery last time was an unintentional act by my teammates. We did not intend to challenge the dignity of Sovereign. We have been working hard to repair the relationship between the two sides and gain your forgiveness. This time, we came here to give you a gift. I hope you can forgive our previous mistakes."
Star-Lord's words were sincere and even a little humble.
"oh?"
Ayesha raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She enjoyed the servility of her enemies.
The Sovereigns had a bag of energy batteries stolen, so they sent out two drone fleets across the galaxy to hunt down Star-Lord and his men, and even hired looters. Could that little bit of energy battery be worth that much? Was it really worth losing so many drones and hiring pirates just to get the batteries back?
In fact, Ayesha said at the beginning that the bag of energy batteries was not important at all - dignity was important! The behavior of the Guardians of the Galaxy damaged the face of the noble and perfect Sovereigns, so they would eliminate Star-Lord and others at all costs, even if it was completely unprofitable.
"What gift do you have for me?"
Ayesha asked scrutinizingly.
"A man, the high priest."
Star-Lord said, pointing back.
"Come up!"
Rocket scolded with a straight face.
Fu Qinghai walked forward reluctantly. He was not wearing a helmet, and his wrists were shackled. He walked past the Guardians of the Galaxy and came to the front, lowering his head obediently, showing a submissiveness that did not match his tall stature.
"This is?"
High Priest Ayesha tilted her head in confusion.
"Lift your head!"
Rocket lifted Fu Qinghai's chin with the barrel of his gun:
"Let the high priest take a good look at your face."
Fu Qinghai raised his face and looked at Ayesha.
"Oh? Okay... Wait, what is this..."
High Priest Ayesha was about to blurt out "so handsome", but the next second she saw the clue: this little giant with an unusual body shape had completely different genes from humans. His genes were extremely complex and showed a unique trait that she had never seen in the Supreme Evolution.
Unlike the supremely evolved Og group that blindly pursues the so-called "perfect species", in the eyes of High Priestess Sha, the genes in this man's body are full of pragmatism, violence, cruelty, ferocity... This was designed to be a "war machine" from the very beginning.
The Supreme Evolutionary can be said to be the guy with the most advanced genetic technology in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Almost all of the life science technologies of the Sovereigns are inherited from the Supreme Evolutionary. However, except for the accidental product "Rocket Raccoon", the Supreme Evolutionary in the movie has not produced any particularly impressive mass-produced works, including the Fury-controlled paradise Counter-Earth, which is also a failed work.
The level of genetic technology mastered by the Supreme Evolution is probably at the same level as Fabius Bile, the genetic ancestor in the Warhammer 40K universe, and is still far behind the Emperor. Ayesha stared at Fu Qinghai infatuatedly, and was a little stunned for a while. She saw the clues at first glance, but she didn't understand. There was something mysterious about this man.
The two just stared at each other.
The next second, Fu Qinghai spoke softly:
"Right now."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Rocket laughed wildly and raised his gun to fire in all directions. Star-Lord also fired with his two guns. Gamora and Drax were on guard with melee weapons in hand. The four of them hid closely around Fu Qinghai. The energy beams shot by Sovereign's soldiers were all deflected by the force field of the Iron Halo, causing sparks to fly throughout the hall.
"I knew you had bad intentions!"
High Priest Ayesha suddenly woke up and slapped the armrest of the throne. More Sovereign soldiers rushed in from outside the hall. They brought heavier weapons with larger calibers and aimed their guns at the six people in the center of the hall. They were obviously well prepared. Facing this situation, Fu Qinghai quickly transformed his arm into a strange white gun.
Then he fired a shot at the floor.
A blue light circle opened instantly.
Portal gun!
Space Marines jumped out of the aperture, and pulse bombs, plasma beams, and molten flames began to spray and sweep the hall... However, what Fu Qinghai had never expected was that when the first Sovereign fell, the entire Sovereign army collapsed completely. Both men and women dropped their weapons and turned around to run, fearing that they would be a step slower.
The Guardians of the Galaxy were equally stunned.
In Fu Qinghai's impression, even the worst peasant army in the feudal era would not have the morale of all its soldiers collapse if one person died. However, the Sovereigns completely changed his concept. This race was too technologically advanced, and they had not seen arrows and stones in person for too long. They had long relied on remote unmanned vehicles to fight, and had no clear understanding of death.
"Take all the energy cells."
Fu Qinghai waved his hand disinterestedly:
"Then retreat."
"Yes, Khan!"
The Space Marines responded with a roar.
They did not chase the escaped golden aliens, but searched the hall carefully. Cleaning up the battlefield was the specialty of the Iron Pagoda, and they quickly packed up the batteries in the building and brought them back to the blue light circle.
During this process, High Priest Aisha sat stiffly on the throne, but no one paid any attention to her. She was so frightened that she watched the man below transform from a "gift of offering" into a "cold-blooded general" in an instant.
However, the other party only cares about those energy batteries.
He didn't even bother to look at himself.
This indifference made Aisha even more ashamed and angry.
"Wake up the magician Adam in advance!"
High Priest Ayesha said in a low voice.
"grown ups?"
The maid beside the throne was lying on the ground, holding her head and trembling, praying that the armored giants did not see her. When she heard Ayesha's voice, she raised her head and said:
"Warlock Adam's brain is not fully developed yet."
"Don't worry about it!"
Ayesha shouted angrily in a low voice:
"If you don't wake us up, we will all die here!"
"Khan, no more."
A Space Marine stepped forward to report.
Fu Qinghai nodded, looked up at High Priest Aisha who was sitting on the throne with her body tense and pretending to be calm, said nothing, turned around and walked into the light circle.
"retreat."
Fu Qinghai was the first to step into the aperture.
The remaining people also evacuated in an orderly manner.
"Hehe! Idiot."
Rocket stuck his tongue out at Ayesha and made a face.
Then he turned around and jumped into the blue light circle.
…
The strategy deployed by the Rockets has its basis.
There is a detail in the beginning of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2". After the Guardians of the Galaxy killed the battery-eating octopus monster, they went to the Sovereign Star Hall to collect the bounty. High Priest Ayesha and Star-Lord talked about the Sovereign's reproductive method. Star-Lord said that he still liked the "traditional way of making a baby". High Priest Ayesha expressed on the spot that she hoped Star-Lord could take her back to history and review the so-called "traditional way of making a baby".
Ayesha is nakedly seducing Star-Lord.
Although this seduction seems arrogant.
Why did Ayesha hook up with Star-Lord?
Is it because Star-Lord is handsome? Obviously not. Ayesha is a Sovereign and has seen all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women. Besides, Star-Lord is not particularly handsome. Even the teammates of the Guardians of the Galaxy have clearly stated that Thor is more handsome and more masculine than Star-Lord.
Star-Lord relies more on sweet talk to pick up girls.
Rather than some kind of advantage in appearance.
Why did High Priestess Ayesha fall in love with Star-Lord? Because at that time Star-Lord still had half of the blood of the gods in his body, which came from his biological father Ego from the Planet of Life. This led to Ayesha openly seducing Star-Lord in front of Gamora.
Ayesha did not conduct a full-body examination on Star-Lord. She could tell at a glance that he had divine blood in his body. After being rejected by Star-Lord, she became furious and commented that this "way of combination" was too "simple, crude and unreasonable."
Clearly this woman had some powers.
You can see the genetic makeup of other people.
Unfortunately, she could not see through the Emperor's ingenious design.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself as he sat in the captain's chair.
Otherwise, the Sovereigns wouldn't be so weak.
"Get all those energy cells installed."
Fu Qinghai raised his head and ordered,
"We will continue the research after we return to Phaeton."
"Yes, Khan."
The technical sergeant under his command agreed.
Although the main purpose of stealing the Sovereign's energy battery was to attract a swarm of drones to hunt him down, it must be said that this type of energy battery itself is also a very powerful technology. It can be regarded as the mass-produced battery product with the highest energy storage density that Fu Qinghai has seen in the reincarnation world.
The Sovereign's energy cells are a sought-after commodity and hard currency in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and are easy to sell even if you don't need them. Nebula was captured by the Sovereign for stealing energy cells.
How high is the energy density of this battery?
The ending of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is that Rocket sends the young tree Groot to use a bundle of energy batteries to blow up the core of the life planet Ego. Although it is the core of the planet that is blown up instead of the entire planet, such a small bundle of energy batteries can kill a life planet and a god, and the energy contained in it can be imagined.
In fact, in Fu Qinghai's opinion, the battery technology of the Sovereigns is much more advanced than their genetic technology. If Sugawara Mao and his team had this kind of energy battery, Unit 14 would not have a battery life of only 15 minutes.
Precisely because the energy density of this type of battery is too high, Fu Qinghai requires Master Buck and his technical sergeants to wait until they return to the Forge World before conducting research on the energy battery. They are not allowed to disassemble it in the chapter flagship - otherwise they might accidentally blow a big hole in the battleship Supremacy.
"Now, to Asgard."
Fu Qinghai stood up and gave the order.
Loki's eyes lit up as he stood on the bridge.
Star-Lord's plan to steal the energy battery from the plunderer pirate ship "Milano" was to be abandoned. Fu Qinghai had already transferred Loki to the Rectification in advance, and now the ship must have been seized by the Sovereigns.
Before the implementation of this plan, Fu Qinghai had already ordered No. 56 and others to go to the void and buy a small spaceship in advance for temporary use. Anyway, this kind of small spaceship equipped with wormhole jump engines is very common in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is not considered to be high-tech black technology.
"Swoosh—"
A tattered small spaceship rushed out of the hangar.
Inside the cabin, Rocket complained about the poor quality of the spacecraft while skillfully starting the wormhole jump engine.
Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged on the deck, silently thinking about how to implement his plan after arriving in Asgard.
After thinking for a while, Fu Qinghai first ordered:
"Notify Xandar and send Asgard's spatial coordinate data to them. Tell Augustus that the Zero Realm Guild will set off for Asgard immediately."
"As you command, Khan."
Rocket let out a strange cry imitating the tone of a Space Marine, and then operated the space communication device on the spacecraft.
Speaking of this "space communication device" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fu Qinghai's eyes involuntarily turned to the instrument that the rocket was controlling.
In the movie, Gamora and Nebula never seem to consider the distance when they make a cross-universe phone call. What is the principle of this space communication technology?
If this space communication also relies on the wormholes that can be seen everywhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then this technology is useless for the Warhammer 40K universe.
Forget it, let's talk about it after Ragnarok is over.
Fu Qinghai shook his head and put it out of his mind.
Then he turned to look at Loki who was still tied up
and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you now that everything I have done and everything I am planning now is to save Asgard and the Aesir civilians in Asgard. I have also told you the prophecy of Ragnarok. If you don't want your hometown to be destroyed, then you must listen carefully to what I am going to say next."
Loki looked at Fu Qinghai calmly.
Fu Qinghai continued:
"I want this..."
"You must cooperate with me..."
"Convince Thor and Hela..."
