"Newborn god, please follow me with your maid. This is not the place for me to receive guests." After the collector took a look at Jean, according to his understanding, he directly regarded Jean as Luke's maid. Although he could see that Jean possessed great power, he had seen too many such beings.
Since Luke was obviously the dominant one, he naturally classified Jean as a subordinate, and he never took the subordinate's position seriously.
"Collector, Jean is not a maid, but my student, who is destined to cross the threshold of becoming a cosmic god in the future." After hearing Luke's words, the Collector looked at Jean with some surprise. Those who can cross the threshold of becoming a god were already qualified to be on equal footing with him.
Even if it was only a qualification now, with the presence of a teacher like Luke, the meanings represented by the two were different.
"No matter what, follow me now."
"Katana, this is the first time for distinguished guests to come to our Land of Nothingness. Please introduce this place to them." The Collector walked and gave instructions to the maid who followed behind him. The maid was an alien with red skin and twin ponytails. Although you can feel that she was a living being, her facial expressions and body movements make her look like a programmed robot.
"Teacher, this maid looks so strange. She looks very awkward." At this moment, the sound of Jean sounded in Luke's mind through mental transmission.
"She is Collector's collection. Her body has been partially mechanically modified, which has prolonged her life. Perhaps this is also the Collector's way of keeping his collection longer." Luke casually glanced at the maid's body structure and knew the result. At least 30% of this maid named Katana had been transformed into a machine.
"He treat living beings as collections? And he use this method to ensure that he can keep them for a longer period of time?" Jean found it a little hard to accept at this time. After all, she was a kind child who grew up in a civilized society.
"Jean, this is not a big deal. The laws of survival in the universe are more cruel than those on Earth. Power, authority, wealth, and everything else represent absolute domination, especially in this place, a lawless place that the three great cosmic empires are powerless to govern. Collector's words are the rules here." Luke didn't feel anything about this.
After all, in the Marvel Universe, ordinary life was as insignificant as dust to those truly powerful ones. Perhaps just the aftermath of a single battle could lead to the destruction of the universe. Jean fell silent after hearing this, and her ideas seemed to have been somewhat impacted. However, this was what she had to go through. Without the power of the Phoenix to guide her to evil, her character would always be lacking something.
Experiencing the darkness of the universe will be beneficial to her future growth. However, no one noticed that the maid named Katana's eyes moved slightly after seeing the Collector speaking so politely to Luke, and it was unknown what she was thinking in her mind. She actually has a younger sister named Karina. The two sisters were the only two survivors after the destruction of a planet.
They were then captured by space mercenaries and sold to Collector as rare treasures. She knew that her fate in this life might be to be killed by her capricious master one day. The only thing she cared about was her sister Karina, that child was still young and shouldn't suffer the same fate as her. However, in the Land of Nothingness, the Collector was the absolute master, and no one will offend the Collector for the lives of two slaves.
Now after seeing Luke and Jean, Katana felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. Because there was a secret hidden in her heart, that was, the cause of the destruction of their planet was a divine artifact that was in the making.
'If I use this information to make a deal with the God in front of me in exchange for my sister's freedom, I wonder if he will agree.' A thought flashed through Katana's mind, but an instinctive mechanical smile appeared on her face. This was the result of her face being modified by the Collector.
Although Luke already knew the details of the Land of Nothingness, he didn't say anything.
"Dear guest, the Land of Nothingness was formed from the head of a god in ancient times. Tens of thousands of years ago, Lord Collector discovered this place by chance. With his wise vision, he immediately saw the value of this place, and then he established the group, which spans dozens of star systems."
Katana began to talk about how powerful the financial resources of the Collector 's group was and how wise and intelligent Collector was as a leader. Naturally, Collector himself was very satisfied with the flattery. However, Luke and Jean had no interest at all. They were just using their mental power to complain about the Collector's taste and aesthetics.
It has to be said that the overall architectural style of the Collector's Land of Nothingness was almost the same as that of the planet Sakar ruled by his brother the Grandmaster. In layman's terms, it was like the slums in some places on Earth. It was dirty, dilapidated, and full of all kinds of people. It was hard to imagine that this was the residence of a cosmic elder who has survived for countless years.
Although Grandmaster's planet Sakar was the garbage dump of the universe, it still looks bright and transparent. However, due to the special environment here, this place does not have the division of day and night like other planets. In a place without light, it was always chaotic.
However, the two brothers have one similar feature, that was, their residence was located in the most central location of the entire area, and the tallest building was their residence. The Collector's Collection was located right in the center of the entire Void Land and was also the tallest building in the Void Land, but it was not much better than other buildings.
"Please come in. All my collections are here. This is the most comprehensive species museum in the universe." As a slightly old dark red hatch opened, the collector proudly welcomed Luke and the others in. Jean originally thought that underneath the shabby exterior of the building, the interior decoration should be rich and luxurious, but after walking in, she found that it was actually the same inside and out.
The huge reception room looked quaint, old, and extremely crowded. There were countless transparent containers displayed around it, filled with various animals, remains specimens, and strange life forms. It looked like a space zoo.
"Teacher, look!" Jean suddenly saw a dog wearing a space suit locked in a transparent container. The most important thing was that the logo on the space suit was from the former Soviet Union, which aroused Jean's interest.
"Beautiful lady, are you from Earth?" Suddenly, the dog actually conveyed its words to Jean through its mental power, which surprised Jean even more. Luke knew the details of this space dog. Its name was Laika. It was an animal launched into space by the former Soviet Union for experiments, but because of a genetic mutation in space, it gained psychic abilities.
However, Luke's attention was not there, because from these collections, Luke felt that there were several people whose strength was not weaker than Thor after he awakened.
