Chapter 488 Don't Worry, I Will Take Good Care of Your Grandson
Three days later, a disappearance spread throughout the universe.
The collector Tifan's lair was sold by him! He sold it to Eric, a popular earthling, with a clear price tag, the Cosmic Spirit Sphere, the Cosmic Cube, and the mind control scepter that originally belonged to Thanos, three for one, with pictures and truth.
Not only are there pictures, but it is rumored that the news was accidentally leaked by a servant of the collector, and there is even a complete video of the transaction process, which cannot be faked!
Moreover, some people who are curious went to the Void Land to verify and found that the Void Land had been completely emptied, and the originally prosperous scene had completely disappeared. Only a large number of robots could be seen building certain buildings. They were also lucky to meet Mr. Eric, one of the parties involved, and got a positive answer from him that the Void Land would belong to Eric's private territory in the future!
In addition, according to reliable sources, the three treasures that the collector exchanged actually contained three Infinity Stones! This is news that even the original owner Eric did not know. Eric even admitted that he regretted the deal very much. If he had known that there were infinite gems in it, he would never have traded it.
The only thing that puzzled people was the collector Tifan. After completing this "sure win" deal, he didn't seem happy and even smashed several of his beloved collections.
...
"Eric, you're really mean..." Emma lay in the bathtub, one of her white legs hanging on the edge of the bathtub, looking at Eric with a grudge.
Eric laughed, "What mean? It's clearly written in black and white on the contract that he wants the Cosmic Spirit Orb, not the Power Gem!"
Emma rolled her eyes, "I mean you took advantage of it, but you turned around and sold the collector. He must hate you to death."
"If we don't cause him some trouble, he will cause trouble for us!" Eric waved his hand carelessly, got up and walked to the window, staring at the deep universe, and exhaled.
"Why doesn't he deny it? If people believe that those things are fake, no one will bother him, right?"
"Deny? How to deny? The elder of the universe who has lived for three billion years and has been collecting for a lifetime, actually made a mistake? Who would believe it?" Eric sneered, but shook his head in boredom, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether to cheat him or not. I released this news just to tell Ego that Star-Lord is here!"
Emma's face suddenly realized, "So that's it. Ego is hiding in the depths of the universe. We really can't find him. It's good to let him come to us."
...
A month's time, placed in the vast starry sky, is as small as dust.
However, it's different in the void where there is nothing. After a large number of robots working tirelessly, the void has rebuilt a huge building complex.
These buildings are basically in the style of the earth, with various factions. They look magnificent and huge in scale, but Emma and others know that these are just for show. They are okay to look at, but if people really live in them, they may collapse in three days.
They didn't understand what Eric was going to do, and they didn't feel like trying to understand. They had more important things to do. What to do? Play mahjong...
After staying in the void for a month, Star-Lord, who was used to running around, was bored. Gamora and Emma were better, but they were also bored. Eric had no choice but to take out the oriental quintessence and let the three of them and the dog set up a table.
That's right, he didn't go up himself, but replaced him with the space dog Cosmo. He was very busy and had no time to do that!
For the past month, he has been preparing for the battle against Ego, and at the same time he has been vigilant at all times, setting up secret sentries within a light-year range of the void, ready to fight at any time.
Unfortunately, Ego never came, but Yondu came first. He completed the task assigned to him by Eric and found the cutest pet in the entire Marvel Universe.
"I am Groot?" (O_O)?
"I am Erik!" (^0^)!
"I am Groot!" (→_→)!
"I am Erik..."╮(╯▽╰)╭...
...
"What is Erik doing?" Emma, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Yondu all stared at each other.
"He is actually talking to a tree!"
"That's not the point, the point is that the tree can actually talk!"
"Oh my god, he understands Groot's language!" A raccoon with weapons on his back screamed.
"Oh, I must have not woken up today. Trees can talk, and raccoons can talk too. You guys are busy, I'm going to sleep..." Emma rubbed her eyes and yawned as she walked back. She was really tired, having played mahjong all night...
"Hey! Woman! I'm Rocket Raccoon! A famous bounty hunter in the universe!" Rocket Raccoon grinned at Emma, but didn't dare to really use his gun. He and Groot were "invited" by Yondu. Although he had several escape plans, after seeing that the owner here was Eric, he decisively chose to wait for the opportunity.
On the other side, Eric and Groot's conversation was also coming to an end. They seemed to have become good friends. Groot affectionately wrapped two branches around Eric's arm, then smiled at Rocket Raccoon, looking very happy.
Eric smiled and patted Groot's branch, "Groot is a member of the Flora Colossus tribe. Their language is very special. Although it sounds like just one sentence, it is actually a tone modulation with layered data dump. It is very efficient and can condense the meaning that we need hundreds of words to express into one sentence."
This time, not only Emma Star-Lord and the others, but also Rocket Raccoon was stunned. He could understand what Groot meant because his body had been forced to transform and could sense and receive the bioelectricity of various creatures to analyze what they wanted to express, not because he could understand the phrase "I am Groot".
"Why do you understand Groot language, oh, I mean, Flora Colossus language?" Rocket Raccoon's ears drooped down, looking a little lost.
"Asgard has this course." Eric smiled and gave him an explanation.
"Are you an Asgardian?"
"No, I am their God King, at least I used to be." Eric answered everyone's doubts and communicated with Groot again.
I don't know what Eric said, Groot hesitated a little, and Rocket Raccoon's hair exploded, and his fingers touched the gun.
In the end, after Eric said "I am Erik" one by one, Groot actually nodded and agreed, then pulled a small branch from his arm and carefully placed it in Eric's palm.
Eric held it carefully as if he had found a treasure, and gave Groot a look of reassurance and gratitude, then took out a flower pot from his pocket dimension and planted the branch in it.
Rocket Raccoon stared at the flower pot with his two little eyes, "Be careful, it will be damaged!"
Eric nodded carefully, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your grandson."
