If the soul gem didn't have a perverted test of sacrificing a loved one, Russell would have gone to Vormir to get the soul gem early in the morning.
Although he doesn't have Thanos' crazy plan to collect six Infinity Stones and snap his fingers, he can never have too many cosmic treasures like Infinity Stones.
Even if you don't use it on a daily basis, it is a good choice to keep as a collection.
After the purple energy gushing from the Power Stone was easily suppressed by Russell's divine power, the Power Stone finally calmed down and stayed quietly in Russell's hand like an ordinary gem.
When the Power Stone stopped actively releasing energy, Russell opened his palm and took a look.
In terms of appearance, the Power Stone is not particularly eye-catching.
Although the Power Stone emits purple light, the Power Stone is not large and its purity is not high.
According to people's evaluation standards for the value of gems, power gems are not considered top gems at all.
However, the value of the Power Stone does not lie in this aspect.
If someone really uses the value evaluation system of ordinary gems to judge the value of power gems, it can only mean that there is something wrong with this person's head.
After looking at the power gem in his hand, mainly sensing the nearly infinite energy and power-related authority inside, Russell put the power gem back into the system space.
Then, with a thought, his body turned into a golden light and was instantly teleported back to the throne of the city lord's palace.
Russell, who was sitting on the throne, raised his right hand, supported his head, and thought silently.
His purpose of coming to Xandar this time has been achieved.
The Black Death Sword is obtained, and so is the Power Stone.
According to the original plan, he can now leave Xandar.
But he doesn't plan to leave Xandar right now.
Irene is still on Xandar, and No. 3 has not yet decided the real winner with the super life computer "World Consciousness".
It would be irresponsible for him to leave Xandar now.
Although he still has a "dark and strange" mission to complete, this is not a mission that can be completed in a short time.
Apart from anything else, he doesn't even know where the other members of the Celestial Team are now.
Except for Thiam, who was still developing in the core of the earth, he couldn't even find a member of the Celestial Group.
After sitting on the throne and thinking for a few minutes, he left the Kingdom of God and returned to Xandar.
Since there is nothing particularly urgent to do now, let's continue living the decadent vacation life for a while.
time flies.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Russell did not leave Xandar again.
Except for taking out the Black Death Sword from time to time to practice sword skills, he did not do any training during this period.
At this stage of his life, his strength will continue to grow as long as he is alive.
Divine power and the secret energy of the universe are strengthening him all the time.
Although Russell had an easy time, it was different for others.
Especially the new Star Supreme George who tore up the peace agreement as soon as he took office and took the initiative to launch a war against the Kree Empire.
George does now hold the supreme power of the Nova Corps and Xandar, but the strength of the Nova Corps has always been at a 50-50 level with the Kree Empire.
In this month of war, the Nova Corps, as before, did not gain any advantage in the war.
At the beginning, the people of Xandar would more or less support George in launching a war.
But as time passed and the war became a stalemate, the tide began to slowly change.
Xandar is indeed a planet with very advanced technology, but the progress of the war still had a considerable impact on Xandar.
For ordinary residents, the most obvious feeling is that living standards have begun to decline.
Because of the war, most resources were given priority to frontline troops.
In addition, because of the flames of war igniting on various planets and star fields, Xandar Star is now unable to obtain various materials sent from other affiliated planets as easily as before.
This is an uncomfortable thing for the Xandar people who are accustomed to a superior life.
Russell knew that the Nova Corps was not going well, but he had no intention of helping the Nova Corps.
He had stopped Ronan from intervening in the war this time.
In his current capacity, his contribution is completely sufficient.
As for the rest, that is the business of George and Roman Day and others, not his.
Although Russell ignored the war between the Nova Corps and the Kree Empire, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation of Star-Lord, Rocket and others.
As he expected, after being imprisoned in the Nova Corps' high-security prison Qion Prison, Star-Lord, Rocket and others met Drax the Destroyer.
The five original members of the Guardians of the Galaxy met in Chion Prison.
But they don't get out of jail as easily as they do in the cinematic universe.
As for why this happened, the reason was very simple. Russell specifically ordered Roman Day to strengthen the security of Qian Prison.
People like Star-Lord and Rocket did try to jailbreak, several times.
But unfortunately, they never succeeded.
The most successful one was when they were about to arrive at the tarmac of Qian Prison.
However, just when they were about to be free, Russell sent a divine clone over.
There was no suspense about the result. The five Star-Lords who brought Qian Prison to a state of chaos were easily stopped by Russell's divine clone.
Finally, he was put into a higher-level single cell.
After several failures in succession, the five Star-Lords finally calmed down a little.
It has been more than a week since their last jailbreak operation.
Although they are acting very calm now, Russell is 100% sure that they still have not given up the idea of escape.
However, Russell had no idea of imprisoning the five of them for life.
The five Star-Lords have been imprisoned in Qian Prison for a month now, and they will be released in a few days.
In any case, there is no deep hatred between them and Russell, and Russell is not the kind of person who doesn't give any face.
It's enough to teach them a small lesson, there is no need for them to spend the rest of their lives in Qien Prison.
More importantly, Russell is still a little interested in Star-Lord's biological father, Yin Ge.
Don't look at it in the movie universe, Yin Ge's strength is not very good, and he was killed by the cooperation of Star-Lord, Yondu and others.
But in terms of rank, planetary life Yin Ge is undoubtedly a mother and heavenly father-level existence.
There is sometimes an imbalance between rank and strength, and Yin Ge is a good example.
Although Russell has a little interest in Yin Ge, he does not plan to go to Yin Ge now.
In Marvel, although Yin Ge is a super villain, he is not a particularly strong super villain.
If Russell really wanted to solve him, it wouldn't take much effort.
Nicholas Manor.
Russell sat in the pavilion on the lawn of the manor and looked at Eileen who was riding a horse on the lawn.
Although Irene has now joined the Nova Corps and obtained a civilian officer position within the Nova Corps, Irene does not usually have much work.
Of course, Erin will be riding her horse on the lawn now, mostly because it's her day off.
There are many carefully selected Xandar star horses in Nikolai Manor.
However, Russell was not very interested in riding horses.
If it were a Pegasus with wings like Asgard, he might be a little interested.
At this time, Irene was wearing a close-fitting and neat riding suit, and her seductive body curves were perfectly displayed.
Especially those long, straight legs with perfect lines are particularly eye-catching.
Looking at Eileen galloping on the lawn, Russell thought about whether to return to Asgard temporarily.
Although No. 3 has not yet completed the feat of defeating the super life computer "World Consciousness".
But before completing this feat on the 3rd, he does not need to stay on Xandar all the time.
After thinking for a few seconds, Russell, who was sitting in the pavilion, took out his mobile phone and contacted Roman Day, who had been promoted to Centurion Director of the Nova Corps.
After a casual chat with Roman Day, Russell asked Roman Day to let Star-Lord and others go.
Of course, just releasing him wouldn't work, so he asked Roman Day to relax the security of Qian Prison.
As long as the prison's security is relaxed, Star-Lord and others will naturally be able to escape.
After giving orders to Roman Day, Russell stood up.
Then, with a thought, he disappeared from the pavilion.
The next second, he came behind Irene and rode with her.
Before Irene could speak, Russell took the initiative to take the reins from Irene's hand.
At the same time, the divine power he controlled caused the divine power to flow into the horse's body.
As the divine power entered, the horse under them neighed loudly as if on stimulants.
Then, he showed an amazing speed that he had never shown before and ran wildly on the lawn.
The horse suddenly picked up speed, causing Irene to lean into Russell's arms involuntarily.
Russell did not do what he usually liked to do to Eileen. He held the reins and controlled the horse enhanced by divine power to leave the lawn and run towards the forest outside the manor.
Time passes little by little.
After the white horse ran wildly at an astonishing speed for more than ten minutes, Russell slowly recovered the divine power in the horse.
Just when Erin was about to ask him if he wanted to return to the manor, Russell sensed dozens of strange scents in the forest in front.
This is……
Russell frowned slightly.
At this time, they were dozens of kilometers away from the manor.
Strictly speaking, they have now completely left the jurisdiction of Nova City.
"What's wrong?"
Erin felt something strange about Russell and asked softly.
"It's nothing. There seem to be two illegal gangs doing business in the forest ahead."
Russell said calmly.
"An outlaw gang?"
Erin looked at Russell suspiciously.
"Yes, two gangs that are dealing in high-powered weapons."
Russell said silently.
Although Xandar is a planet with advanced technology, no matter how developed the planet is, there are also dark transactions that do not comply with the law.
Although Russell was not very clear about the specific weapons traded by the previous gang, he sensed a few passable energy auras.
"What are you going to do?"
Erin asked again.
"I don't care. Whatever they trade has nothing to do with me."
"However, it seems that you haven't experienced a real battle yet. I wonder if you, who is already an officer of the Nova Corps, are interested in cracking down on illegal transactions?"
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Russell said with a smile.
If he was the only one here now, he would not hesitate and would definitely turn around and leave.
Even if those two gangs are currently trading weapons of mass destruction, it has nothing to do with him.
But now, Erin is here too.
He could ignore the illegal transactions in the forest ahead, but the same could not be said for Irene.
But then again, if he hadn't said it, Irene wouldn't have known that there were two gangs doing business in the forest ahead.
Eileen does have a lot of magic now, and she also has nova energy, but without using magic and nova energy, her perception ability is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
"You want me to stop them?"
Erin turned to look at Russell and said silently.
"It depends on whether you are interested. I just think you lack actual combat experience, and the people in those two gangs are not very strong."
"If you want to experience a real fight, those two gangs are good targets."
Russell said calmly.
After hearing his answer, Erin fell silent.
After a few seconds, Erin said to him: "I want to stop them!"
Seeing Irene's rare serious expression, Russell nodded silently.
With him here, even if the person doing the transaction was Thanos, it would not be possible for Irene's life to be in danger.
Since Irene herself is interested in this, she might as well use the guys in front of her to let Irene experience real combat.
Russell and Irene got off their white horses and walked towards the forest in front.
On the way to the forest, Russell and Erin briefly explained the precautions during the battle.
For example, she is not yet able to cast mid-to-high-level magic instantly, and she is not particularly skilled in the use of nova energy, etc.
Erin listened attentively, nodding her head in approval from time to time.
Although the two gangs involved in the transaction arranged sentries outside the forest, these sentries composed of ordinary people meant nothing to Russell.
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and all the sentry guys fell unconscious.
Mass coma spell!
A magic that is not particularly difficult.
After taking care of these sentries, Russell made a please gesture to Erin.
After watching his movements, Erin took a deep breath and walked in the direction Russell prompted.
After taking just a few steps, Erin felt that she still had some issues that she didn't quite understand.
However, when she turned around and planned to ask Russell, she found that Russell, who was behind her, had disappeared without knowing it.
Forehead……
After discovering that Russell had disappeared, Irene showed a surprised expression at first.
Then, take a moment to relieve your inner tension.
After being mentally prepared, Erin walked cautiously toward the transaction location.
Russell wasn't too far off.
Now, he was suspended thousands of meters in the air, condescendingly watching Irene's every move and the two gangs that were trading.
Excluding the unconscious guy, there are currently forty-two people in the forest.
Judging from the equipment and aura of these guys, they are not rookies who have not experienced combat.
Among the leading people, Russell also sensed the special aura that comes after killing many enemies.
For a true novice, it is not an easy task to take down forty-two criminals with combat experience.
However, Russell was not worried about Erin's life at all.
When leaving, he quietly placed a protective spell on Erin.
Any attack that would endanger Irene's life would be blocked by a protective spell.
Of course, protective spells are not omnipotent.
As long as one is stronger than Russell, the protective spell can still be broken.
But for these guys who are only stronger than ordinary people, the protective spell set by Russell is the absolute defense in the true sense.
Erin didn't know that Russell was watching her every move from high in the sky.
At this time, she was carefully heading to the transaction location based on the few combat training knowledge in her mind.
Although Erin had already worked up her spirits and made the best dive she thought she could make now.
But it turned out that her infiltration was not good at all.
