Chapter 584 Who defines "Asgard"?

Xandar, a square.

The "Milano" spacecraft is parked here.

"Hey, Quill, the agreed time has come. How long do we have to wait for that guy?"

Rocket sat in the driver's seat and asked irritably:

"He's not going to stand us up, is he?"

"Wait a moment."

Star-Lord narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.

"Did he pay the balance?"

Drax asked.

"Forget the final payment, he didn't even give the deposit."

Gamora said, rolling her eyes.

"That's the price we pay for stealing stuff."

Star-Lord glanced at Rocket and said resentfully.

As a former plunderer who considers himself a chivalrous thief who robs the rich to help the poor, Star-Lord himself is not against theft, but he is against Rocket's behavior of stealing without knowing the background of others' power, which has put everyone in a passive position.

"So what the hell are you waiting for?"

Rockets yelled loudly:

"I don't want to wait any longer!"

As he said this he pushed down the joystick.

The engine roared, the spacecraft trembled slightly, and a circle of rotating ion flames spewed out from the tail nozzle. Just as the rocket was about to pull the spacecraft up and take off, the spacecraft suddenly stopped heavily, and the flame in the tail nozzle was instantly extinguished.

Then it fell to the spot and remained motionless.

"What's going on?"

Everyone on the spaceship was stunned.

"The Milano is broken down?"

Rocket kept fiddling with the gear lever.

"let me see."

Star-Lord began to draw and dot on the screen.

"When did it break?"

"How should I know?"

"It started normally just now."

"Is there something wrong with the engine?"

The two men lay in front of the display screen and dashboard, tinkering with them for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the problem was. Finally, they simply took apart the front cover and removed it. One man and one bear went in with wrenches and screwdrivers to try to find out the cause of the spacecraft failure.

"Oh, damn."

Gamora complained, crossing her arms.

"I'm Groot."

The sapling said stupidly.

Just at this moment.

"laugh--"

The Guardians of the Galaxy turned back in surprise and saw that the rear hatch of the spacecraft opened automatically.

Fu Qinghai stepped onto the tail lift slowly, smiling calmly, and opened his hands and said:

"Hello, everyone."

After he entered the spacecraft, the rear hatch automatically rose up and slowly closed.

Rocket Star-Lord was stunned.

What happened to this spaceship?

"What did you do to the Milano?"

Gamora said coldly.

"Don't worry, just some insurance measures."

Fu Qinghai walked forward calmly, raised his hand and pressed it on the bulkhead. Then a purple gelatinous substance poured out from the gap in the bulkhead, sank into his palm and disappeared... This scene made everyone present shudder.

"Oh, this is really gross."

Drax said with a frown.

"It feels like my ship has been tainted."

Star-Lord's face looked as if he had been cheated on.

"Let's go, let's go."

Fu Qinghai found an empty seat and sat down cross-legged.

He looked up at everyone and asked in confusion,

"What are you waiting for?"

Rocket tried pushing the stick down again.

"boom..."

The engine roared again and the spacecraft started smoothly.

Destination: Sakaar!

...

Despite all the talk and the fuss, Fu Qinghai still paid the Guardians of the Galaxy a sum of star coins as compensation, and did not use their spaceship for free. Fu Qinghai certainly did not have the local currency, so he asked Clavis and Olivia for the money. Qingshan Khan was not ashamed to just ask for money.

The spaceship is sailing steadily in the void.

It was inevitable that the long voyage would be a bit boring, so everyone naturally wanted to find something to kill time. At this time, Fu Qinghai and Drax the Destroyer were sitting on either side of the table, each holding out one hand to support themselves, and they were having an arm wrestling match, while the others gathered behind them to cheer.

"Harder, Drax, harder!"

Rocket was jumping up and down anxiously.

He bet fifty star coins.

"I'm Groot, I'm Groot!"

The sapling also shouted on Star-Lord's shoulder.

"Uh uh uh…Ah!"

Drax was still shirtless as usual, with his muscles bulging. He was trying so hard that the red spots on his gray skin twisted and crawled like wriggling blood vessels, and he clenched his teeth and uttered a sound. However, the hand he held was as motionless as a sculpture.

Fu Qinghai, who was sitting opposite him, had a calm expression on his face. Fu Qinghai had taken off his power armor and was wearing a black tights. It could be seen that he was in a very relaxed position, leaning sideways as if he was not exerting any strength at all. However, Drax's face turned red but he still couldn't shake his arm at all.

Fu Qinghai exerted a little force with his arms.

"Bang!"

Drax's hand was pressed down again.

"oh..."

Rocket held his head and sighed in frustration.

"That's the third time. I won't play with you guys anymore."

Fu Qinghai clapped his hands and said.

Everyone in the spaceship dispersed.

After switching his left hand to his right hand, and then to his right hand, Drax, who lost three games in a row, sat in his seat in a sullen manner, as if he could not accept the fact that his strength was crushed. Drax the Destroyer was of a very special race. Not only was he extremely powerful, but his skin was almost invulnerable to weapons. He could easily resist small-caliber live ammunition or thermal weapons without wearing any armor. It was this strong physique that made him develop a reckless style when encountering difficulties. However, he met his match today.

Fu Qing ignored the depressed Drax, nor did he sit cross-legged on the ground to enter a meditative state again. Instead, he sat in the corner of the cabin and began to think silently about the follow-up arrangements.

Fu Qinghai's initial plan was this:

First, go to Xandar and find the Zero Realm Guild to trade magic affinity metals. Although the quantity of magic affinity metals was not enough, he was able to establish a camp with the Zero Realm Guild and reach a cooperation intention, so this goal was considered to have been initially achieved.

Then, go to Sakaar, which is the territory of another cosmic elder, Gao Tianzun. His hobby is not collecting but watching gladiatorial fights, and he personally manipulates the gambling. He held grand gladiatorial fights on Sakaar.

The purpose of going to Sakaar is to find Thor, Loki, Valkyrie and Hulk. According to the plot of the movie: Loki and Thor summoned the Rainbow Bridge to try to escape, but Hela was able to enter the Rainbow Bridge, and the brothers were knocked out of the Rainbow Bridge by Hela, fell into some kind of wormhole crack, and then fell out of a space crack on Sakaar.

There is a waterfall-like space crack in the atmosphere of Sakaar, and "space jump shipwreck victims" and various ship fragments from all over the universe constantly fall out of it. That's why Sakaar has become the so-called "garbage planet". Every day, bounty hunters and scavengers gather under this space crack, waiting to try their luck.

Fu Qinghai was not sure that he would meet Thor and the others, so he went to Sakaar mainly to confirm the current timeline, because there would only be three possibilities:

1. If Thor and his two brothers had not come yet, then he would wait on Sakaar until they arrived.

2. If Thor and his companions happen to be on Sakaar at this time, then they should try every means to stop them from taking the spaceship to Asgard. Because according to the development of the plot, once Thor and his companions arrive in Asgard and officially start a war with Hela, Asgard will inevitably be destroyed - the only solution to defeat Hela is to destroy Asgard.

3. If Thor and others leave, it means that the major event of the "Ragnarok" plot line has officially begun.

There is nothing wrong with this logic.

Fu Qinghai reviewed the situation in his mind.

It's another logic that's problematic.

Fu Qinghai recalled his conversation with Augustus.

"Qingshan, you have been thinking about how to deal with Hela, but have you ever thought about one thing? Our camp is the Asgard camp, not the Thor camp, let alone the Avengers camp. Perhaps we only need to ensure that Asgard is intact. As for who controls Asgard, Odin, Thor, or Hela, it is not important to us."

The two were at a banquet at the time.

Augustus whispered:

"We just need to stand on the stronger side."

"Of course I know what you said."

Fu Qinghai took a sip of wine and said calmly:

"But do you remember the ending of the movie? Odin told Thor in his dream: Where there are people, there is a country... I forgot what the original words were, but it was this. Anyway, Thor suddenly realized this truth in the midst of life and death crisis, and led the remaining Asgardian civilians to settle in Norway on a spaceship to escape the destruction of Asgard."

Augustus was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Fu Qinghai continued calmly:

"This involves the definition of the word 'Asgard'. Who can define 'Asgard', Odin or Hela? Is Asgard the magical continent floating in the universe, or the common people in Asgard?"

Augustus understood immediately.

He just thought of the first level.

And Qingshan thought of the second level.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Augustus asked.

Since Qingshan said so.

I must have a response plan in mind.

"I have an idea."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and whispered:

"It's an idea that has nothing to do with war. It's an idea that can have the best of both worlds. But whether this idea can be successfully implemented depends on the specific situation. We don't know what the situation is in Asgard right now. Besides us, are there other players participating in this major plot event? All these factors must be taken into consideration."

"Collectors say my hobby is war."

"But everyone knows it."

"War is the continuation of politics."

"It's not the only means to solve the problem."

Fu Qinghai left these words.

Leave it to Augustus to figure out.

Fu Qinghai now goes to Sakaar alone to find out what stage the plot has reached and what other variables there are besides himself.

"Want to eat?"

A voice sounded overhead.

Interrupted Fu Qinghai's thoughts.

Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked.

Drax asked as he stood nearby holding a bag that looked like potato chips, chewing them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

"What?"

Fu Qinghai said blankly.

"Salt crisps, and yarrow root."

Drax said in a muffled voice:

"I see you haven't eaten all day."

"Thanks."

Fu Qinghai took it casually.

After a short period of time together, the Guardians of the Galaxy realized that although Aoyama was a big shot, he was not a bad guy, so they were not as wary and repulsive as they were at the beginning, and they completed their transaction seriously.

"Hey, man."

Star-Lord in the driver's seat turned around and said:

"I guess you went out to date a girl during the time you disappeared on Xandar, right?"

"Oh? How did you know?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head and asked curiously.

"Haha, as soon as I saw the expression on your face when you boarded the spaceship, I knew it. I guess this date was very pleasant? To tell you the truth, brother, I am a veteran. Although my spaceship is not as big as your battleship, and perhaps my people are not as many as your army, but when it comes to picking up girls, hehehe..."

Star-Lord said and laughed:

"You might have to learn from me."

The two old perverts exchanged glances.

I found that they were all the same kind of people.

"I'd like to hear more about it."

Fu Qinghai didn't mind listening to Star-Lord talk.

After all, this guy was indeed a playboy before.

"The alien races in our universe have opposite personalities and skin colors, do you understand? I dated a Crohn before, wow, that red-skinned girl was really gentle. On the contrary, the other blue-skinned Cree girl I dated had a very bad temper. She would get angry if you teased her casually, and when she was angry, she wanted to bite off my dick..."

Star-Lord can't stop talking about this.

Fu Qinghai also chimed in with a few words of praise.

Star-Lord was able to act cool in front of Qingshan, a super-man among macho men, and he was a little proud of himself. He continued to speak without restraint:

"As far as I know, the ancestors of the Skrulls are reptiles, and the ancestors of the Shi'ar are birds. So although they look very similar to humans, there are slight differences in their body structures. The Skrulls have scales on their skin, and the Shi'ar have some feathers or stubble on their heads. But the most arrogant women are still the Sovereigns."

Star-Lord summed it up and said,

"Those golden-skinned girls are the most pretentious."

"Oh, I see."

Fu Qinghai humbly expressed his gratitude for the lesson.

Star-Lord was about to continue his rant.

Suddenly I felt a chill coming from the side.

Turning around, he saw Gamora looking at him coldly.

"Well..."

Star-Lord choked.

"Sakaar, we're here!"

Then Rocket suddenly spoke.

Everyone immediately turned to look out the porthole.

The huge iron-gray planet was getting closer and closer.
