At this moment, The Collector, seeing Kytheron's return, didn't hesitate at all and immediately prepared to activate his massive Collector's Fortress to escape.
When he first built this Collector's Fortress, he had considered certain potentially urgent situations.
Therefore, his collection hall was not just a collection hall as it appeared, but a cosmic vessel that could take off at any moment.
"Quick, hurry, immediately activate the hidden Space Jump Point."
The Collector frantically instructed his subordinates.
According to his plan, even if Kytheron wasn't taken away by Death, he should have been shocked into retreating by that great god, making it unlikely he would come back to find him. He never expected him to return so quickly!
Fighting was out of the question; he didn't stand a chance against Thanos, let alone Kytheron!
Now, he could only escape first, leave this place, and go to his brother Grandmaster's Sakaar for a period of time before considering his next move.
When he saw his fortress successfully cross the Space Jump Point, The Collector's heart finally eased a little.
However, the next moment, his expression froze on his face!
Because after the successful Space Jump, the scene that appeared before him was not the boundless Universe, but his most familiar old lair, the Land of Nihility. Standing before him was Kytheron, with a playful look, and his red-haired maid.
The Collector didn't dare to think too much; he just continued to order his subordinates to exert all their power and perform another Space Jump.
Seeing this, Kytheron shook the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand at him, and the azure light of the Space Stone flashed and disappeared.
After a strange spatial fluctuation, The Collector's fortress was now directly trapped in a cyclical space, repeatedly shuttling through the same area.
Having no other option, a trace of pain appeared on The Collector's face as he walked directly into the depths of his fortress and opened his two most deeply hidden collectibles!
Two transparent containers, each holding a humanoid creature, rose from the deepest part.
One container held a fellow dressed similarly to Thor, the Thunder God, except that he had a horse-like face, and most of his body was replaced by machinery. This was Beta Ray Bill, another wielder of the Phoenix Force recognized by Odin.
And inside the other container was an exceptionally strong, but pale-faced Dark Elf. Both of these fellows were in a state of slumber.
At this moment, The Collector held a hammer in his left hand and a stone emitting an ominous aura in his right hand.
Those were the items that came with these two fellows when they were collected. The hammer was called Stormbreaker, and it had similar functions to Thor's mjolnir, while the stone was a Cursed Stone, a special product of the Dark Elves, capable of transforming a Dark Elf into a Cursed Warrior.
He ordered his maid to open the containers holding them and awakened these two fellows.
The Collector handed Stormbreaker to Beta Ray Bill, while the Cursed Stone was directly inserted into the body of the Dark Elf.
"Hold those two fellows outside for me for a while!"
The Collector didn't waste words and directly gave orders to his two collectibles.
However, Beta Ray Bill, who had gained freedom, and the Dark Elf, who had transformed into a Cursed Warrior, had no intention of obeying his orders and immediately tried to resist.
But a control device rooted in the brains of the two fellows took effect.
The next moment, a red light flashed in their eyes, their faces became blank, and then they flew out without a word.
"Now, stop the Space Jump, drive away from here at full speed, and find the nearest spatial node to jump again."
Kytheron and Jean were originally watching The Collector repeatedly jump his fortress back and forth when they suddenly saw two figures rush out of the fortress.
"Thunder Power?"
Feeling the familiar divine power fluctuations coming from all around, Kytheron was slightly surprised.
However, after seeing who the newcomers were, he instantly understood.
Beta Ray Bill and the Cursed Warrior, at this moment, had no other emotions; they were just faithfully executing The Collector's orders.
Beta Ray Bill raised Stormbreaker high in his hand, immediately summoning several bolts of lightning to strike at Kytheron.
And the Cursed Warrior made a leap, his clenched fist carrying an unstoppable, swift momentum, also smashing towards Kytheron.
Kytheron casually grabbed the bolts of lightning in his hand and then put them into his mouth.
"Good, that's the taste!"
Just as Jean was about to activate the Phoenix Force to destroy the two fellows who dared to offend them, she heard Kytheron say:
"Jean, kill that black monster if you want! He won't live much longer anyway, so helping him find release a little earlier is a good thing. As for the other horse-faced fellow, I'll play with him. Speaking of which, that fellow has some connection with Asgard."
"Oh, and that big black monster has very strong physical strength. Perhaps in terms of pure strength, he's even a bit stronger than the purple potato monster you defeated earlier. Try using only magic to see if you can kill him!"
After Kytheron finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Beta Ray Bill.
"I understand, Teacher!"
After hearing Kytheron's words, Jean couldn't help but glance at Beta Ray Bill in the distance, as for the Cursed Warrior, she didn't pay him any mind.
However, the next moment, the Cursed Warrior's fist was already close, and she immediately conjured a huge magic shield.
The Cursed Warrior punched the magic shield, and although the shield didn't break, Jean's body suddenly sank, followed by a barrage of attacks like a fierce storm.
Despite the magic shield dissipating some of the force, this pure physical strength was a bit too much for her, a squishy mage.
This was one of the reasons why the Dark Elves were able to become a cosmic overlord back then, and it wasn't just relying on the Aether Particle, that divine artifact.
The Cursed Warrior was the highest masterpiece of Dark Elf biological experiments, capable of gaining dozens of times more power in a short period by sacrificing life force.
However, the Cursed Warrior's weakness was also very obvious: besides their brute strength, they had no other redeeming qualities!
After her encounter with Thanos and Kytheron's guidance, Jean knew how to deal with such close-combat oriented enemies.
Just as the Cursed Warrior was about to throw another punch, Jean slightly reversed the magic shield in her hand, instantly transforming it into a giant golden saw blade.
The Cursed Warrior instinctively dodged, which gave Jean an opportunity to create distance, and the offensive and defensive positions instantly reversed.
Jean's hand gestures changed, and four magic circles suddenly appeared around the Cursed Warrior. Several golden chains extended from them, firmly locking him in place.
"Roar!"
The trapped Cursed Warrior let out an angry roar, and black mists emerged from his body, his muscles boiling as if exploding.
"Crack!"
Relying on his immense strength, the Cursed Warrior began to forcefully break free from the magic chains that bound him.
But Jean had already prepared a killing move to send him on his way.
She crossed her hands slightly, then pressed them down, and with a crisp phoenix cry, a giant golden Phoenix Ancient Sword descended from the void, directly crushing the Cursed Warrior into a pile of minced meat.
