Chapter 265: Full Health Revival (I'm Alive!)

One day ago, Thor and Rocket Raccoon from Raccoon City found this Raccoon City in the suburbs of New York using the Locator on Star-Lord.

Thor changed into a typical Federation redneck outfit, an oversized T-shirt, a denim jacket, and drove a Pickup Truck, disguised as a highway traveler, driving directly into Raccoon City.

In the sparsely populated Federation, it's not uncommon for many people to take one or several road trips every year.

Towns along the Interstate Highway usually have dedicated motels and Bars for road trippers to relax. Some Bars even offer entertainment and relaxation activities.

For example, gambling-based Boxing matches, or striptease dancers. Raccoon City is located in the suburbs of New York. After getting off the Interstate Highway, driving another seven or eight kilometers will reach the outskirts of Raccoon City. Perhaps because it's not far, there are also two motel-style Bars in Raccoon City.

"Oh? I think the environment in this Raccoon City is much better than in Norway!"

Due to his appearance, Rocket Raccoon, wearing an Invisibility Cloak, sat in the passenger seat of the Pickup Truck, poking his head out to look around.

Both sides of the Highway were lined with small Villas hidden among Tall Trees. The half-hidden Tall Trees served as screens, protecting privacy while also being aesthetically pleasing.

It was springtime, and these Tall Trees were blooming with colorful flowers—

Passing a patch of Tall Trees, Rocket Raccoon reached out and plucked a Bowl-sized bright red flower, bringing it to his nose to smell.

"Hey, little guy, be careful, don't let anyone find out!!"

Thor glared at Rocket Raccoon, although from his perspective, he could only see an empty flower.

"It's okay, with this Invisibility Cloak your mother gave you, they can't see me!" Rocket Raccoon's smug voice sounded from the passenger seat.

"That's something my mother gave *me*!" Thor said, a bit possessively.

"Alright, alright, you're your mother's good boy. Let's hurry up and find Star-Lord!" Rocket Raccoon's perfunctory voice echoed in the air.

"There's a motel up ahead. I'll go in and gather some information first. You wait in the car!"

Thor quickly spotted a motel up ahead with seven or eight cars parked outside, and a large Bar Sign depicting a Raccoon drinking.

"Raccoon City, Raccoon Bar! Cool! I like this place!" Rocket Raccoon looked at the motel's Sign, his voice filled with excitement.

"I want to go in and have a drink. I think they'll like me!"

Thor looked at the passenger door that suddenly opened and quickly reached out, grabbing Rocket Raccoon. "Don't even think about it. This isn't the Milky Way Galaxy. If you get out, you'll cause a stir. I don't want trouble. We don't have identification to prove who we are. Tourists from another Parallel Universe? Listen, little guy, if you want to save Star-Lord, stay put!"

"Alright, alright, then take your hand off! You're grabbing me uncomfortably!"

Rocket Raccoon huffily pulled the passenger door shut again, watching Thor get out of the car and walk towards the Bar.

After seeing Thor enter the Bar entrance through the car window, Rocket Raccoon threw the flower in his hand onto the driver's seat, opened the passenger door, and quietly slipped out.

...

"Target locked. Two individuals. Target number one has an 87% similarity to Thor. Target number two's appearance and physique are unknown, suspected of possessing invisibility ability. Beep Beep Beep Beep, Target locked. Skynet System can be activated to take action against them at any time!"

As a Base built by Tang Group at a cost of hundreds of billions, Raccoon City is practically under surveillance, if not entirely.

In addition to the visible, normal surveillance, the entire Raccoon City is dotted with tens of thousands of Surveillance Cameras disguised as Trees and plants. Any stranger appearing in Raccoon City will be subjected to comprehensive surveillance until they are confirmed to be non-threatening.

The terminals for these Surveillance Cameras are connected to Red Queen's Mainframe. Generally, others do not have the permission to view or retrieve footage from these Cameras.

However, if Red Queen's analysis determines the Target is a threat, the permission to view these Surveillance Cameras will be granted to Raccoon City's security department.

When the Pickup Truck driven by Thor and Rocket Raccoon first appeared in Raccoon City, Thor's fat face had already triggered an Alarm.

In Raccoon City's Central Building, the Security department, which occupies two floors of the building, quickly scanned and identified Thor's face after taking over Raccoon City's surveillance network.

The information was then sent to the forty-eight Security Outposts in Raccoon City.

The most important Hive Base in Raccoon City went directly into alert status. The two Gates, cast from Adamantium and covered in Talismans, directly sealed the entrance to the Hive Base.

The Security personnel reported the information upwards immediately.

Because Big Boss was at Lake Heart Pavilion Estate, Boss Tang, who was fishing, quickly received the information.

At the Manor in the center of the Artificial Lake in Raccoon City, Lakeside, Tang Song was leisurely casting his rod. On a Bamboo chair nearby, The Collector Tivan was sitting with a bitter face, accompanying Boss Tang in fishing.

"Relax, fishing is an activity that requires a lot of patience. Only by fishing for a long time can you experience the fun of catching a big fish!"

Amidst the splashing water, Tang Song slowly pulled up a good-sized Trout. After removing the hook from the Trout's mouth, he casually tossed it into the Keepnet.

Tang Song glanced at Tivan, noticing his impatience, and shook his head.

Tivan raised the fishing rod in his hand, looking at the empty hook, which didn't even have bait. He cast the hook far out, then looked at Tang Song with a sour face and said:

"Tang, since we are now Partners, when will you return my collection? Those are all treasures I've collected since the Universe was created!"

"Partner," Tang Song glanced at this "prisoner". Tivan clearly hadn't recognized his position, thinking that he and Tang Song were both interested in the Multiverse.

Hence, he had the misconception that he needed to cooperate with Tang Song.

He didn't know that the reason he kept this "Cosmic Elder" was, firstly, his fear of the Elders of the Universe behind him, and secondly, Tivan was a Skyfather level combatant after all.

If used well, he could be a sharp weapon against future Dimension Evil God invasions.

As for Tivan's collection, he would definitely return it to him, but only after his subordinates had sorted through it and picked out the useful things.

Those out-of-print plants, rare animals, if they weren't as valuable as the Golden Apple, returning them wouldn't hurt.

"If you really don't like fishing, I bought you a private Museum. You can go take a look. Don't worry, your things will be yours eventually! Oh, by the way, I heard that Earth was once the home of many Deities. Maybe they left things on Earth. These are rare collection items. If you're interested, I can have someone accompany you to visit those Ruins—"

Tang Song comforted Tivan, then beckoned. a Bodyguard standing nearby walked over, bowing and saluting, "Boss!"

"Take Mr. Tivan to the Duncan Private Museum on New York Fifth Avenue. Also, tell Lane to invite a few more well-known collectors from home and abroad to accompany Mr. Tivan!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Accompanied by the Bodyguard, Tivan left the Lake Heart Island by boat. Although Tivan was a bit angry that Tang Song refused to return his collection, he was still quite curious about the collectors on Earth who shared his hobby.

Moreover, Tang Song was right, this Planet is not simple. It is said that a large portion of the Pantheon Deities once descended here. He wondered if he could find some unique collection items on this Planet.

Thinking of this, Tivan quickened his steps.

After seeing Tivan off, Tang Song had just cast his rod a few times when the Satellite Phone placed beside him rang.

"Boss! The fish is hooked!"

Raccoon City, Raccoon Bar, Thor sat at the Bar Counter, downing beer after beer, completely forgetting the real reason he came here.

On the Bar's large screen television, a ball game was being broadcast. In the small Bar, a few people were scattered around, most of them watching the ball game.

The obese Thor didn't attract much attention. Compared to him, the guy wearing a black and red hood and carrying two katanas on his back was much more eye-catching.

However, from the crowd's teasing laughter in the Bar, it was clear that this guy was an acquaintance in the Bar.

"Wade Wilson, did Vanessa kick you out again!"

"I have some Indian God Oil here. If it doesn't work, I can give you two bottles! An Indian Engineer gave it to me. I heard it has miraculous effects!"

A burst of laughter erupted in the Bar, interspersed with Deadpool's helpless protest:

"How could I not be able to? This is slander, blatant slander. I just got back from a mission, I'm tired and came here for a drink. You don't know, S.H.I.E.L.D. caught a fat guy who is said to be from another Parallel Universe. I led a team to receive him—"

"Another Parallel Universe, sounds much more terrifying than Vanessa. But I remember the last time Vanessa kicked you out, your excuse was to eradicate some Cult of Dormammu, and you ended up being pinned down by Vanessa on a Model's bed."

Listening to Deadpool's explanation, an old regular at the Bar bluntly exposed his past.

Another burst of laughter filled the Bar. At the Bar Counter, the seemingly drunk Thor's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. He turned sideways to stare at Deadpool, remembering his appearance, or rather, his unique tight-fitting jacket outfit.

Ding-a-ling! The wind chimes outside the door jingled, and a man with shoulder-length hair, a scruffy beard, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment he entered, an invisible small thing also quietly slipped in.

"Johnny! Long time no see, same as usual?"

The man in the leather jacket walked straight to the Bar Counter, pulled up a high stool, and sat down.

The bartender skillfully mixed a drink and handed it to him. Johnny downed half the glass in one gulp, bit the decorative fruit inside, and turned to look at Thor beside him, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "You look a bit like an acquaintance of mine?"

"Hiccup!" Thor gulped down a pint of beer, patting his greasy belly. "Who do I look like? Thor? A lot of people have been saying I look like him lately!"

Johnny looked at his belly, shook his head, and withdrew his gaze. Stroking the glass, he took out a phone from his pocket, a look of struggle flashing in his eyes, but ultimately dialed the number.

"Boss, yes, things are going smoothly. With their help, the Cult that worships Dormammu has been completely wiped out. However, Kaecilius's side, they dare not offend the Sorcerer Supreme. It would be best if you stepped forward—"

"Yes, I have one more matter. I heard from the Speaker (Dark Council) that there is a method to retrieve my Father's soul from Hell. I would like to ask for your help!"

After Johnny finished speaking, there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Johnny held the phone, silently waiting for his Boss's reply. He wasn't sure if his Boss would agree, but even if his Boss didn't agree, he wouldn't complain.

Although his Boss had used him before, he also helped him kill Mephisto, his enemy.

Moreover, he also helped him resolve the Spirit of Vengeance on his body, allowing him to freely control the Hellfire on his body. He is now married and lives with the woman he loves in this Raccoon City.

However, he definitely had to get his Father's soul back. Even if he had to go himself, it was because of his youthful ignorance that his Father's soul fell into Mephisto's hands.

Many times in midnight dreams, he would always dream of his Father's figure suffering in the raging fire of Hell.

If his Boss didn't agree, he would go himself. Listening to the long silence on the other end of the phone, Johnny sighed, making up his mind.

"Hmm! Hooked, a big Carp..."

After a burst of noisy splashing sounds and hearty laughter on the phone, Tang Song's voice sounded: "Go to Hell? Then go to Selene's place later. A batch of Golden Warrior Puppets has just been refined there. Take them with you. Oh, right, come to Lake Heart Manor tonight. Since you're going to Hell, bring some things back! Get me some local specialties! Hurry, don't let this fish die. Tell the kitchen tonight, we're having boiled fish, add lots of chili!"

"Yes, Boss!" Listening to the slightly noisy voice on the other end of the phone, perhaps because he choked on his drink, Johnny felt his eyes well up.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Johnny left the Bar. Thor, who had been sitting next to him and overheard most of the phone conversation, felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head, instantly sobering him up.

Mephisto, Hell, and Dormammu, oh, and they also mentioned the Dark Council and the Sorcerer Supreme.

Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange? Hearing these familiar names, the more Thor thought about it, the stranger it felt. He looked at Johnny's retreating figure, hesitating whether to chase after him to find out more.

Suddenly, an angry roar came from the Bar:

"Hey, who stole my drink!"

Thor looked over at the sound and saw a furry hand disappear under the table.

"Boss, another beer, and the check!" Thor took out a few dollars to pay for the beer and tip.

Then he walked over to the customer who was yelling about his stolen drink, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Mate, your drink's gone, I'll treat you!"

As Thor spoke, he subtly kicked the table underneath with his foot. Amidst the praise and compliments from the Bar patrons about his generosity, Thor draped his denim jacket over his shoulder and walked straight out of the Bar.

Thor pulled open the driver's door and sat in the driver's seat. Shortly after, the passenger door of his car suddenly opened out of thin air.

A furry Rocket Raccoon, wearing armor and reeking of alcohol, slumped into the passenger seat.

"I told you to stay put in the car!"

Thor looked at the drunk Rocket Raccoon and scolded him.

"Oh, come on, Big Guy, you drank plenty at the Bar Counter yourself. I saw it clearly!" Rocket Raccoon rolled over on the passenger seat, muttering.

Thor took a bottle of wine from the storage compartment in the driver's seat and bit off the cork with his mouth:

"I was gathering information!"

"Gathering information? Did you find any information about Star-Lord?"

Thor gulped down half a bottle of Asgardian Fine Wine and said somewhat smugly:

"I've found the Target. I believe he can help us find Star-Lord's whereabouts!"

Hearing Thor's words, Rocket Raccoon did a Carp flip and sprang up from the passenger seat.

"You found Star-Lord? Where is he?"

For Rocket Raccoon, half of his family-like friends disappeared in Thanos's finger snap.

Although Star-Lord is usually unreliable, he is also like family to him.

"Calm down, little guy. There's someone in the Bar who should know Star-Lord's whereabouts. We'll follow him, and then we'll definitely be able to ask him where Star-Lord is."

Thor was grabbed by the neck by Rocket Raccoon, and he shook the wine bottle in his hand.

"The Bar! Then I'll bring this guy out! If he doesn't talk, I'll kill him!"

Rocket Raccoon bared his teeth, took out the oversized Energy Gun from his back, and put on a fierce expression.

"Although he was baring his teeth, he didn't look threatening at all."

"Calm down! Little guy, this Raccoon City isn't as simple as it looks!" Thor's drunk expression became serious for a rare moment, and he said to Rocket Raccoon solemnly:

"We'll wait here. When he comes out, we'll follow him quietly. Don't alarm anyone!"

...

"Who are you?"

Deadpool's piercing scream even drowned out the few call girls beside him.

He shrank his naked body, pulling a corner of the blanket to cover himself.

On the other hand, the few call girls, completely naked, closed their mouths after the initial fright.

"Hey, you guy, do you wear a hood even when you're breeding, or is this a tradition among you Earthlings!"

Rocket Raccoon stood on the bed, pointing the gun, which was taller than his body, at Deadpool's head.

Although he was baring his teeth, he didn't look threatening at all.

"Raccoon Dog, or rather, an alien Raccoon Dog! Kawaii!"

"So cute..."

A few call girls looked at Rocket Raccoon on the bed, and one who seemed to be from Japan couldn't help but say.

"Raccoon, I'm a Raccoon!"

Rocket Raccoon turned his head and fiercely educated the few women.

"Mm-hmm..."

That call girl nodded seriously, then whispered softly to her few naked companions beside her:

"This alien Raccoon Dog says he's a Raccoon..."

Rocket Raccoon was instantly furious.

Thor grabbed him from behind, lifted him up, and placed him on his shoulder.

"Alright, little guy, the important matters are at hand!"

Thor turned his gaze to Deadpool and asked, "I heard at the Bar that you escorted a prisoner from a Parallel Universe. Where is he?"

"You're looking for that guy named Star-Lord? You scared me, thank goodness, I thought you were sent by Vanessa!" Deadpool breathed a sigh of relief.

Rocket Raccoon was a bit confused: "Who is Vanessa?"

Deadpool fumbled with his pants, pulling them onto his legs: "Vanessa is my wife! If she finds out, I'll be torn limb from limb. I don't want to experience that feeling a second time."

Thor coughed and gave Rocket Raccoon a look.

Rocket Raccoon pulled the Slide of the Gun with a clatter, aiming it at Deadpool again:

"Listen, if you don't want to die, put your wife aside and tell me where Star-Lord is?"

"Oh, oh, I'll tell you, move the gun!" Deadpool raised his hands, and the pants he had just pulled up slipped down to his ankles again.

"You're too late, he's already been sent to Number One Forward Operating Base. He doesn't have Earth identification, so he can only be sent to work in the mines!"

"Mine?" Thor and Rocket Raccoon never expected to hear this answer.

"Where is Number One Forward Operating Base?" Rocket Raccoon demanded fiercely.

"Kawaii! This Raccoon Dog is so beautiful when he's fierce!"

The few call girls nearby huddled together and started whispering.

Rocket Raccoon bared his teeth again.

"To get to Number One Forward Operating Base, you need to go through a Space Gate!" Deadpool shrugged and said, "Even if you kill me, I can't do anything about it!"

Rocket Raccoon looked back at Thor helplessly. Thor held up the wine bottle and took another gulp.

"Hiccup, I heard people at the Bar say you're very afraid of your wife. If she knew you were like this now..."

Thor patted Rocket Raccoon. Rocket Raccoon pulled out an old-fashioned camera from somewhere.

Click, click, click, he aimed it at Deadpool and the few naked call girls beside him and pressed the shutter.

"Listen, if you don't want your wife to receive these photos... hmm..."

"Tonight, a group of botanists and agronomists are going to transfer through Number One Forward Operating Base. The location is the Base in the Back Mountain of Raccoon City. I'm telling you, you won't be able to get in either. You need an Identity Card there!"

Under Thor's brutal torture, Deadpool could only reluctantly compromise!

Then he was tied up with ropes, a Pink Ball Gag stuffed in his mouth, and thrown onto the bed in the Villa along with the few call girls.

...

"Woo woo woo woo..."

"Looks like, Wade Wilson, you're really in a sorry state!"

Late at midnight, Wolverine Logan, reeking of alcohol, arrived at the Villa with a few Raccoon City security guards.

Logan popped his claws from between his fingers and released Deadpool.

"Hey, you're too late. According to the plan, you should have arrived three hours ago..."

After being untied, Deadpool immediately started touching the call girls beside him.

This was a legitimate opportunity to spend the company's money on call girls. More importantly, this was work, so he could explain it to Vanessa.

Heaven help him, his Tang Group salary card is in Vanessa's hands.

He finally managed to secretly work as a Mercenary early in the morning and late at night to earn some extra money, but not long ago, Vanessa completely busted his Slush Fund.

Damn it, Vanessa somehow got together with the Boss's Wife and, using Artificial Intelligence Red Queen, shut down several of his Slush Funds.

"Logan, aren't you leaving? Are you going to watch me with the call girls here?"

After untying the call girls, Deadpool looked back and saw that Logan was still there, smoking a cigar, with no intention of leaving. It was almost dawn, and he needed to cherish his time.

"Just now at the Manor, there was a job, remuneration of ten million dollars. I signed you up!" Logan flicked the ash from his cigar.

"What job?"

"Nothing much, just accompanying Johnny on a trip to Hell to retrieve his Father's soul!"

"Cough cough!" Deadpool couldn't care about anything else at this moment and immediately scrambled up to look at Logan: "Go to Hell, that kind of ghost place, and you agreed for me!"

"Boss has already agreed!" Logan seemed not to notice Deadpool's cannibalistic gaze, pushed the door open, and left. "Have fun, don't forget, we leave in three days!"

"Hell!"

Deadpool shook his head, feeling a bit confused. Although he had an Undying Body, Hell was "However, it sounds pretty cool, Hell Traveler, at least better than Spider-Man, that Creature Research apprentice. Maybe I can learn from Dante and paint a Hell Ukiyo-e!"

"Identity Card, with this Invisibility Cloak, I don't need that thing!"

Raccoon City Back Mountain Base, Thor, wearing an Invisibility Cloak, took Rocket Raccoon and followed behind a group of scholars in white coats, sneaking into the heavily guarded Base.

Along the way, no matter if it was Sensors, cameras, or Laser Defense Passages,

Including the fully armed guards, it seemed that no one or instrument detected them.

Thor and Rocket Raccoon just stuck close behind them, leisurely slipping into the Space Gate that glowed with blue light.

"This should be the Number One Forward Operating Base that guy mentioned. Later, we'll grab someone and ask them where they've locked up Star-Lord?"

Thor, wearing the Invisibility Cloak, walked around this base with Rocket Raccoon, completely disregarding the fully armed guards inside.

However, as Thor continued deeper, Thor's originally casual expression began to turn serious.

Because the Auras of some of the guards they passed by were becoming increasingly powerful. Thor even felt that they were no less capable than the warriors of Asgard.

"How is that possible?"

Suddenly, a patrol of soldiers stopped as they brushed past Thor and Rocket Raccoon. The soldier leading the group, who was over two meters tall, kept twitching his sensitive nose.
