At this moment on Xandar, Adora, the leader of the Nova Empire, was filled with worry.
Kytheron's previous arrival had already made them realize the gap between them and true powerhouses, a gap that their current technology could not bridge.
And then came the news of Thanos's return as a god, which was not good news for any living Planet.
Therefore, Adora immediately sent an alliance application to the Shi'ar Empire.
Because the only ones qualified to ally with the Nova Empire were the Shi'ar Empire and the Kree Empire.
The Kree Empire had to be excluded first, as they had always been in a state of mutual hostility, and their wars had lasted for thousands of years!
"Your Majesty, news has come from the Shi'ar Empire; they claim they do not fear Thanos and are unwilling to ally with us."
Upon hearing this result, although there was not much surprise on the Queen's face, she still felt some regret in her heart.
Currently, the overall strength of the Shi'ar was also the strongest among the three great Empires, and more importantly, the Shi'ar had an incredibly powerful commander—Gladiator.
No one knew how strong Gladiator truly was, because everyone who had fought him had, without exception, failed!
Therefore, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, Gladiator always possessed immense confidence; he firmly believed he could defeat all enemies.
In the eyes of others, this was undoubtedly a display of arrogance.
However, what these outsiders did not know was that Gladiator's strength was directly linked to his own confidence.
As long as he firmly believed he was the strongest, the power Gladiator could unleash would be beyond imagination.
Unfortunately, it was precisely this top-down confidence, almost bordering on arrogance, that made the Shi'ar Empire not even consider the other two great Empires among the three great Empires.
Therefore, facing the Nova Empire's request for an alliance, the Shi'ar rejected it without a second thought!
Are you kidding? Alliances are for the weak; their Shi'ar Empire doesn't need such things as allies.
"I understand. You may leave first!"
The Queen was about to let the guard leave, but she suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately called the guard back.
"Have someone prepare immediately; I want to visit that powerhouse."
Just now, Adora suddenly thought of Kytheron. Wasn't he a ready-made candidate for a powerful ally?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard meticulously carried out Adora's orders.
At this time, Kytheron and Jean were indeed still on Xandar. The allure of advanced cosmic civilizations was undoubtedly immense for a native of Earth like Jean.
As for Kytheron, the level of technology did not hold much appeal for him.
The reason he remained here was that Thanos had not yet made his next move, and the central power battery that Eitri was entrusted to forge still needed some time, so he simply stayed here.
This, however, caused trouble for the Nova Corps. Kytheron's danger level was comparable to a cosmic catastrophe, and they cautiously dared not let him be even slightly displeased, fearing an unprecedented disaster on Xandar and becoming eternal sinners.
However, gradually, these people were no longer so nervous!
After all, Kytheron had never shown any signs of destructive intent, and for much of the day, he enjoyed bathing in the Sun.
When Adora arrived with a group of guards, she saw Kytheron closing his eyes, lazily basking in the Sun.
Although Adora held supreme power on Xandar, in front of Kytheron, she did not even dare to approach and disturb him.
Because she knew very well in her heart that Kytheron must have been aware of her arrival.
But now, despite her standing there, he did not speak at all, which meant he did not want to deal with her yet.
As Queen, she naturally understood this.
After about an hour, Kytheron slowly spoke: "Speak! What do you want from me?"
Hearing Kytheron speak, Adora's face immediately lit up with joy, and she quickly replied: "Honorable guest, are you satisfied with our Xandar?"
"It's barely acceptable, but it's too far from the Sun, so I'm not as comfortable basking in it."
Kytheron stood up and stretched lazily.
Adora immediately didn't know how to respond, as the Planet's position had always been fixed, and they had never thought of moving it.
"Get straight to the point. I don't like beating around the bush. If you're not going to speak, then don't disturb me."
Seeing Adora's somewhat troubled expression, Kytheron spoke directly and bluntly.
"Honorable guest, I wish to forge an alliance with you as the Queen of the Nova Empire!"
After a moment of hesitation, Adora bit the bullet and made her request to Kytheron.
"Dragons do not walk with ants. What capital do you have to ally with me?"
Kytheron knew Adora's intentions without even thinking, but Kytheron had no interest in the Nova Empire; their racial potential was insufficient, and their technological level was nothing special.
Mainly, these guys were all like they were painted with gold, not as pleasing to the eye as the Little Elves.
As for Thanos, whom they were worried about, he and I have a deep-seated enmity, and I know without a doubt that Thanos will definitely try to get revenge.
Hearing Kytheron's attitude, Adora dared not say more, fearing that she would offend Kytheron before facing Thanos.
After Adora retreated, Kytheron also returned to his lazy state.
…
Meanwhile, on Earth, a Black Magic Practitioners cult called the Immortals had been growing steadily over the years, and at this point, they were also preparing to stir up trouble.
The origin of this Immortals cult actually had a slight connection to Kytheron.
Twenty years ago, during Kytheron's great battle with Mephisto, to divert Mephisto's blow that would destroy the Sun, Kytheron opened an interdimensional space. After the energy poured out, a broken horn fell from it.
Because all attention at the time was on Kytheron and Mephisto, this broken horn did not attract anyone's notice.
However, after the battle, it was accidentally picked up by a Black Magic Practitioners!
That Black Magic Practitioners discovered a strange energy from the broken horn, and out of an instinct for exploration, the Black Magic Practitioners began to try to communicate with the power within it.
This inadvertently allowed him to see another Universe.
With just a momentary contact, he saw a group of incredibly twisted and terrifying abominations, which directly polluted the Black Magic Practitioners's mind.
Gradually, the mental pollution projected onto his body, and the Black Magic Practitioners's body also began to deform.
From his original normal human form, he slowly transformed into a monster, with mouths full of sharp teeth and drool growing all over his body, and horns sprouting from various parts of his body.
After this, this Black Magic Practitioners completely became a twisted monster, but he also gained powerful strength and a certain immortal attribute.
Over twenty years, he founded the Immortals cult, and now another voice had been echoing in his mind, telling him to prepare a sacrifice ritual to open a passage between the two Universes.
That group of terrifying monsters, as if from the abyss, wanted to set foot in this Universe!
