The smelting factory is located in the belly of the mountain. The office is not luxuriously decorated. Except for some electrical equipment such as air conditioners, it can be seen that many things in the office are made from local materials.
Even the set of wooden tables and chairs that looked like they were made of black jade had the fresh scent of grass from trees that had just been cut down.
The person in charge of the metallurgical factory made tea, and seeing that Tang Song did not give any instructions, he bowed and walked out.
"Come, both of you, have a taste. This tea is a specialty of this world. Drinking it can improve your eyesight. If you drink it for a long time, you can see things in the dark. It's a good thing, but it's a bit bitter. If you can't get used to it, you can add some sugar!"
Tang Song stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, then picked up the tea in front of him and started drinking.
Just as he introduced himself, this specialty tea from Heildam is much more bitter than the tea from Earth, as if bitter coffee and mint leaves were added to the tea.
When you swallow the tea, a cool breeze goes down your throat and rushes to your head, giving your eyes a cool and comfortable feeling.
This drink of the Dark Elves is more of a potion than a tea. The Dark Elves can see the night as day, which is more or less related to these drinks.
The little raccoon sitting opposite Tang Song saw Tang Song drinking the tea, so he grabbed it and took a sip just like him. After a sip of tea went down his throat, the bitterness instantly filled his mouth.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft—Shashasha—"
The little raccoon spat out all the tea in his mouth. "What is this? It's so bitter. Do you people on Earth like to drink this kind of bitter drink?"
Looking at the little raccoon's frowning and funny expression, Tang Song smiled, took a spoon from the shelf beside him, and added some milk sugar into his teacup.
Then he stretched out his hand and motioned to him, "Try it now!"
The little raccoon looked at Tang Song suspiciously, took a sip tentatively, and the sweet milky aroma instantly made his eyes widen. Then he quickly picked up the cup in front of him with his two little paws and drank the "milk tea" in front of him in big gulps!
Thor turned his head and glanced at him, then stared at Tang Song from his big, fat, bearded face: "Sir, you said you saved Asgard and Star-Lord?"
Tang Song put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. My friends all call me Tang. I saved Asgard because God Odin gave me enough reward. As for saving Star-Lord, I want to make a deal with you?"
"Deal?" Thor was a little confused!
Tang Song explained: "Since you are from another universe, you should understand that your universe has many similarities with this universe, the Nine Realms, Asgard, superheroes including the Avengers, and of course the most important thing is the endless super villains -
Your universe was half destroyed by Thanos' snap of his fingers, but our universe has not yet been destroyed.
But it’s true that the purple sweet potato is taking action, and I don’t want the tragedy to happen again in our universe, so I plan to hire you, or rather, we can cooperate—”
"How to cooperate?" Thor leaned his fat body on the wooden armchair, with his fat hanging on both sides of the chair. He stared at Tang Song closely, trying to figure out his intentions.
"I know why you came to this universe, for the Infinity Stones and the Pym Particles, but this universe and your universe are not quantum entangled.
Therefore, the rules of time, space, reality, and soul are not universal. Even if you get the Infinity Stones, in your universe, these Infinity Stones are just a few broken stones!"
"Unless you can find the universe that is quantum entangled with you, the two sides of the same coin,
I can provide you with the Pym particles you need, and I can also provide you with a batch of weapons, equipment and manpower.
Of course, I won’t give you things for free. When my universe is in trouble, I will ask you for help. At that time, you must also provide as much help as possible! "
"That's all!?" Thor looked at Tang Song in disbelief.
"That's it?" Tang Song smiled and said, "Do you know who the enemies our universe will face in the future
Dormammu, the evil god of the dimension, the Lord of Hell who covets the earth, Galactus, one of the five legendary gods of the universe,
And there is Thanos, who has been trying to destroy half of all life in the universe!
By the way, if your sister becomes the king of Asgard, I think with her personality she will not give up the territory of Earth!
I need some help!"
What Tang Song said was half true and half false. Whether it was Dormammu, the Lord of Hell, or even Thanos, he had already found ways to deal with them.
Dormammu's followers on Earth have been wiped out by him. This dimensional evil god may not be able to find the real dimension in the vast dimension.
As for those Lords of Hell who coveted the Earth, Mephisto's death was enough to prevent them from setting foot on Earth in person for hundreds of years.
Thanos and Galactus are indeed a trouble. Although the former has lost the Infinity Stones, the toothless tiger should not be underestimated. On the Land of Nothingness, the antimatter annihilation bombs launched by the dark fleet that are enough to destroy a planet make Boss Tang very afraid.
He had already paid a high price and asked Old Mand to collect as much civilization technology and finished warships as possible.
Especially spacecraft equipped with antimatter annihilation bombs and star destroyers.
You must know that as the overlord of the universe, in addition to his personal strength, the armed forces under Thanos' rule are no less powerful than the three major empires in the Milky Way.
However, Tang Song learned from Old Mand that the Dark Order under Thanos is currently engaged in a war with the Kree Empire and will not be able to take care of the Earth in the short term.
As for Galactus, it goes without saying that it is a monster that feeds on planets. In the original plot, the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four used her beauty to seduce the surfer skateboarder who was showing the way to Galactus, thus saving the Earth from being eaten by Galactus.
But Boss Tang doesn't want to gamble on whether the Invisible Woman's beauty is still useful, which is why he has increased his investment in the development of Heildam.
As a Chinese, he naturally understands that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even if the earth is destroyed, the worst that can happen is that he can just move to another place and start over.
The reason why Tang Song approached Thor to propose so-called cooperation had another unspeakable purpose.
"How about it? We can achieve a win-win situation. Your universe needs to be saved, and I don't want to see our universe destroyed either. Just like Asgard, so what about the so-called Ragnarok? The Eternal Flame is in my hands now. Even if your sister wakes up, she can't destroy Asgard!"
After listening to Tang Song's words, Thor's originally tangled expression suddenly became strange. If he remembered correctly, he destroyed Asgard with his own hands.
He personally placed the skull of the fire giant on the eternal flame, resurrecting the giant who destroyed Asgard.
However, thinking about the land of Asgard that was destroyed in his hands and the people who were destroyed by Thanos, Thor often wondered when he was sober, what would have happened if he had not fought with Hela for the throne.
With Hela's strength, she might be able to save Asgard from Thanos's iron hoof. Hela's rule might be brutal, but the people of Asgard might still be alive and well, and even Loki might be alive.
This is also the reason why Thor drinks all the time. He is afraid of falling into memories, painful, sweet, all memories. He is afraid to dream about them.
His father, his mother, Loki, and the dreamy Asgard that he destroyed with his own hands. He let down too many people.
He envied the Thor in this universe, whose mother was still alive, and whose father and Loki were also there.
"I heard from my mother that Asgard in this universe has escaped the fate of Ragnarok!?" Thor leaned over and looked at Tang Song.
Tang Song spread his hands and said, "I have reached a deal with His Majesty Odin. In the future, I will help him teach his naughty daughter a lesson.
In return, he provided me with a lot of things, such as the dwarven craftsmen you saw and the Eternal Flame, but I am not sure, you know, your sister is indeed a bit difficult -"
"Leave her to me!" Thor said in a deep voice: "I will save Asgard. I have lost it once, and I will not lose him again-" The last sentence of Thor was inaudible, but it was loud and clear.
But as he said this, a bright arc of electricity seemed to flash across Thor's obese body.
"Well, happy cooperation!" Tang Song smiled and stretched out his hand.
"I'm only representing myself. I will tell the captain and Tony about your idea of cooperation. I can't guarantee whether they will agree or not!"
Thor stretched out his hand and held Tang Song's hand tightly.
"I can help you get the Pym particles you're looking for, but I need your help with something!" Tang Song leaned over to refill tea for Thor and the raccoon.
"What's the matter?" Thor asked, touching the teacup.
"I have a friend who was deceived by a devil when he was young and signed a contract. His father's soul was abducted by the devil. I helped him get rid of the devil, but his father's soul is still in hell. He has to go to hell recently, and I want you to help him make the trip!" Tang Song said.
Thor showed a look of realization: "I have seen your friend. You killed Mephisto in the bar in the small town. He was a guy as powerful as my father. Even I may not be his opponent!"
Tang Song smiled modestly: "It's mainly thanks to Master Gu Yi. I was just helping out!"
"I can help you with that, but I want to see Star-Lord first!" Thor changed the subject: "After all, the purpose of our coming here is to find Star-Lord!"
"Star-Lord, he's in Raccoon Town, you can meet him anytime!"
Tang Song looked at the little raccoon's impatient expression and stretched out his hand to draw a space door with sparks flying everywhere. At the other end of the space door was the bar in Raccoon Town.
At the bar, a greasy middle-aged man with a protruding belly was drinking with a group of drinkers while holding a large glass of beer.
"Hey, Quill!"
The little raccoon jumped into the space door impatiently.
Thor looked at the spark-spattering space gate curiously: "This seems to be Strange's magic?"
Tang Song shrugged: “Our strange wizard seems to want to be a medical and surgical expert. I cured his hand, but now his responsibility falls on my shoulders!
With great power comes great responsibility, which is why I am looking for help! "
"You are a good person!" Thor glanced at Tang Song, and turned back to say before entering the space gate: "Thank you, thank you for saving my mother!"
"Good guy!?" Tang Song looked at the closed space door and laughed at himself: "Me?!"
... ... .… …
"Quil, where have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere, but we're in the wrong universe!"
The little raccoon jumped out of the space gate, completely ignoring the gazes of everyone in the bar. He jumped onto Star-Lord's shoulder, put his arms around his neck and punched him twice.
"Oh? Am I seeing things? A talking raccoon?" A customer drinking in the bar rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at the raccoon.
"Raccoon, I'm a raccoon!"
The little raccoon bared his teeth again, but the little guy's face was indeed not intimidating. Instead, it made everyone in the bar laugh.
After the initial surprise, there was less fear about the existence of the raccoons. Since the founding of Utopia, mutants had a country to rely on.
In the Federation, mutants have become a minority, and under political correctness, their status is much higher than that of ordinary white people.
All kinds of weird mutants have become popular guests on TV shows. The more bizarre their abilities and appearances, the more popular they are on TV.
What's wrong with a talking raccoon? It is said that Disney is going to invite a mutant who can transform into a merman to play the Little Mermaid. Unfortunately, that mutant is a black man.
"I was caught by a pervert, the collector Tiwan!" Star-Lord said with a gloomy face: "He saw that I came from another universe and thought I was a perfect collectible!"
"Tivan the Collector, the brother of the Supreme Lord, in our universe, I remember he died at the hands of Thanos!" Thor, who was a step late, sat next to Star-Lord and asked the bartender to bring him a glass of beer. Well, at the protest of the raccoon next to him, he was also given a glass.
The bar owner obviously remembered the generous customer from yesterday and served two large glasses of beer, which were quite filling.
"Collector Tiwan, the guy who spoke in a sissy voice, I remember him!" The raccoon climbed onto the chair next to Star-Lord, drank beer, and responded to Star-Lord.
Star-Lord shook his head with a look of regret: "He is different from the Collector in our universe. He is very powerful, Thor. His strength is no less than yours. If it weren't for Ronan the Accuser invading the Void, and if that Tang Zai hadn't been there, you wouldn't have seen me!"
"What's going on with that Tang?" Thor looked around while speaking and asked under the cover of the wine glass.
Star-Lord shook his head: "I don't know either, but he stopped the Chitauri from invading the Earth and has a high reputation on Earth!"
"Little guy?" Thor looked at the raccoon.
The little raccoon was pouring beer from the glass. When he heard Thor's question, he shook his head and said, "I recorded his expression. From his heart rate and micro-expression analysis, he is not lying!"
"But do we really want to cooperate with him?"
"I don't want Asgard in this universe to be destroyed, just like our universe. I now have the ability to stop all this!" Thor clenched the wine glass in his hand and drank it in big gulps. The golden wine flowed down his beard.
"Okay, what do we do now?" The raccoon asked confusedly.
"Let's go find Scott first and ask him how his search for Pym particles is going. If he can't get enough Pym particles, we can only cooperate with Tang!" Thor put down his glass and shouted to the bar owner, "Boss, another drink!"
... ...
In the second laboratory of the Hive Base, there is a fully enclosed white sterile room. In the hibernation chamber filled with nutrient solution, a naked male body with a small belly is immersed in it. Next to the sterile room, a dozen scientific researchers in white coats are analyzing the living cells extracted from the male body, extracting the legendary god genes.
... ... ..
Heildam, in the dark world, is a swamp covering thousands of miles. Under the pitch-black night, there are dots of fluorescent light on the hills in the swamp, and green fireflies keep flashing.
Looking closely, that was not a hill at all, but a huge eight-headed snake. The dots of green fluorescence were the scales of fire in the eye sockets of the white skeleton attached to its body.
From the occasional hissing of the Yamata Giant Serpent, it can be heard that these skeletons living on its body make it extremely annoyed.
But just like marine creatures cannot do anything about the barnacles living on their bodies, after trying every possible way to deal with these white bones and skeletons, the Yamata no Orochi could only let them be and lie down.
Tang Song stood in the dark sky, overlooking these skeleton monsters.
To be precise, it is the bone demon.
By constantly sucking the essence and blood from the Yamata-no-Orochi and hunting prey, a large number of these skeleton monsters have evolved into bone gods and demons.
... ... .… …
Two days later, at the Raccoon Town base, the familiar nine nine-pointed star arrays were nested together, and thousands of cosmic magic cube energy crystals were inlaid on the array diagram.
However, this time the teleportation location of this void teleportation array is hell.
"The Weapon-killing Research Institute wants the skeletons of thirty-six giants to study some kind of powerful Vajra God and Demon. They're offering $500,000 for each.
Take the demons of the twelve zodiac signs, catch the demons, dragons, where can I get them, the corpse and soul of the dragon are priced at five million US dollars!"
In front of the teleportation array, Johnny Blaze was with Wolverine Logan, and next to him was a pale middle-aged man wearing a cloak with a stand-up collar.
Deadpool, one of the protagonists, hid aside, calculating the orders from buyers in the small town since he leaked that he was going to hell.
"Old Paul wants a succubus, with measurements as big as a soccer ball. If there really is one, it can be yours, but it will cost two hundred thousand dollars. No, at least five hundred thousand—"
"Wade! The teleportation array is open, we have to leave!" Wolverine puffed on the cigar in his mouth and felt his hands shaking. Even though he was a veteran and had experienced many battles, he couldn't help feeling a little scared when he thought about going to hell.
After all, not everyone can be as thick-skinned as Deadpool.
"Right now, right now, tell Old Paul for me that a succubus costs at least five hundred thousand, and the price is non-negotiable. Oh, and promote it for me, and I'll give you a 20% discount!"
Deadpool kept on promoting himself to the card soldiers next to the teleportation array, but was kicked into the teleportation array by the impatient card soldiers.
After his joke, Johnny and Logan's fear of hell was reduced, and they walked into the teleportation array with the middle-aged man next to them.
... ... ..
What does hell look like
This issue has been described in great detail in various religious myths of human civilization.
To be honest, human imagination is actually quite boring. Regardless of religion, the descriptions of hell are actually similar.
The never-extinguished flames burned the souls of sinners. Those who committed heinous crimes were hung up by chains, confessing their crimes in constant fear.
There are also the gloomy and terrifying minions of hell, noisy low-level demons and devils such as imps or inferior demons, who are responsible for torturing those who are unwilling to atone their sins. Their wailing sounds are like the background music echoing in hell.
In those myths and legends, the entire hell seems to be a large labor camp for souls. Under the appearance of horror and pain, it hides warnings to encourage people to be good.
But in reality, how can the real hell be so warm and affectionate
How could the demons and devils living here have so much free time as to redeem souls
"Snap"
Deadpool kicked the corpse-like thing that was staggering forward on the hot and barren sand in front of him, knocking it to the ground.
Just because it blocked his way forward.
The zombie that was kicked down didn't dare to fight back. He hugged his head and lay on the ground trembling.
"This is the lowest kind of shit from hell."
Dracula was like a guide, introducing Deadpool, Wolverine and Johnny who were visiting Hell for the first time:
"They were ordinary people who did not accomplish anything in their lives. They fell into hell because of some sins. However, their souls were too ordinary, and even the lowest level demons looked down on them. They could only stagger on the earth as zombies, unable to be freed all day long."
"That sounds terrible."
Deadpool curled his lips and commented without emotion. He looked at the corpses in front of him that were lined up in a scattered team and staggered forward on the barren sand. He asked:
"Where are they going?"
"The abyss, their decaying bodies will serve as nests for larvae, and their meaningless souls will become food for the next batch of abyss worms."
"abyss?"
Johnny asked:
"That doesn't sound like a good place."
Dracula glanced in the direction of the depths of hell and said in a low voice:
"It's certainly not there."
"The Abyss is the birthplace of the Abyss Worms. It is the origin pit of all the demons in Hell. No matter if they are terrifying big demons or weak inferior demons, they are all born from there."
"They have exactly the same starting point, but completely different destinies. They have been fighting each other since their birth. Those who are not fierce or cunning enough can only be trampled underfoot. Only the truly gifted geniuses can climb to the top."
Dracula shook his head and said with emotion:
"This is the rule of the demon world. It is a hundred times more straightforward and ten thousand times more cruel than the rules of humans."
"Hmm, interesting rules. No wonder the creatures in Hell are known for their violence and madness. The desire for slaughter is engraved in their bones, like a carrier that supports the soul. But unfortunately, we are not here to travel, although this knowledge is really wonderful."
Johnny had transformed into Ghost Rider at this moment. He glanced at the decaying zombies hunched over in the red sand on the ground, then looked back at Dracula and said:
"Do you know where Mephisto's Castle is?"
"I don't know that!"
Dracula looked at Johnny and the thousands of golden troops behind him with a strange expression, and shook his head:
"To be honest, although I am a vampire, I don't know much about hell, but we can capture a big demon and ask him!"
Deadpool Wade was bored and poked the crawling zombies with his knife.
"Succubus, where are the beautiful succubus—"
There are these disgusting zombies everywhere here. If he had known this, he would rather have taken a comfortable bath in his own swimming pool.
"Then catch a guide!" Johnny said, looking at Deadpool: "Wade, you go be the bait!"
"I!"
Deadpool angrily chopped the zombie in half with one blow: "Why me again!"
"Because you are the weakest!"
Johnny's skull was filled with flames.
"Your strength won't scare away demons!"
"All right!"
Deadpool shrugged his shoulders with a curse, and walked away in a slightly tragic manner. Well, it would have been better if he could turn off the music on the phone at his waist.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect that you mortals could actually do this. Coming to hell to take back the souls taken away by the devil, I admit that your boss is very strong, but this is hell!
Dracula frowned: "We need to hurry up, otherwise if we stay too long, the breath of hell will infect you and turn you into demons!"
It was obvious that this famous vampire was not very optimistic about Johnny and his crew.
Dracula showed a strange smile on his pale face: "Are you and your father biological children?"
The flames in Johnny's eyes shot out three feet long, and he looked at Dracula with murderous intent:
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Of course!"
Dracula took out an evil-looking skull from his pocket. It didn't look like a human head, but there was a green light flickering in the eye sockets. There were also two delicate little horns on the pale forehead of the skull. In short, it looked very evil.
"In the realm of mysticism, the bond between bloodlines is closer than you think, especially in Hell, a place where the energy of black magic is concentrated."
"It only takes a few small tricks to greatly enhance the mutual induction between you."
Dracula threw the skull in his hand to Johnny and said:
"Drop your own blood on it, and then silently recite your father's name."
"Attention! It must be the full name, no characters can be omitted!"
Dracula warned:
"If all goes well, we will soon be able to sense the location of Mephisto's collection room."
Johnny took the skull thrown by Dracula and wondered, "Since we have this, do we not need to find a guide?"
Dracula shook his head and said, "I'm just annoyed by that guy who keeps talking about succubus in my ear like a fly!"
At this moment, in the distance, the unlucky Deadpool was running towards this side, followed by a dozen calf-sized demon dogs. The sharp teeth of one of the demon dogs pierced Deadpool's butt and hung on his body like a pendant.
... ... ... ... ... .
There is a deep canyon, steep cliffs, and a huge cave with a diameter of about a mile. Twenty miles inward, there is a huge cave with mountains of gold, silver and jewelry piled up here.
A gigantic three-headed demon dragon was lazily lying on a mountain of gold, silver and jewels. His three heads were breathing heavily, and terrible dark fluctuations were emanating from his body from time to time.
A dozen half-dragons squatted beside him, carefully wiping his smooth and hard dragon scales with soft white silk. Under the belly of this three-headed dragon, there was the wreckage of a Chita warship.
"Once Mephisto died, the Fifteenth Abyss became ownerless,"
The three-headed dragon hummed slowly: "The real dimension is indeed scary. I don't understand why those demons insist on going to Midgard. Human souls are indeed sweet, but it's a pity that the Supreme Sorcerer's strength is simply abnormal!"
He slowly turned over, exposing his big belly to the sky, and signaled the half-dragons to continue wiping the scales on his belly.
"It's a good thing that Mephisto is dead. In the Fifteenth Abyss, my strength should be able to compete for the position of the Lord of Hell!
Unfortunately, the old immortal is too strong. If I were the Lord of the Dragon Abyss, all the jewels in the abyss would be mine!"
Thinking of the good things, the three heads of the dragon couldn't help but drool.
At this time, a black Asian dragon more than ten meters long flew in, "Chief, there are humans appearing in the Fifteenth Abyss!"
“Call me Lord!” The three-headed demon dragon blew away the black dragon that reported the news with one wing: “Lord of the Demon Dragon!”
"Humans, I haven't seen living humans for thousands of years. Delicate human beauties, and humans with fresh and crisp taste, that rich flesh and blood, well, just thinking about it makes me excited. How many people are there, and how strong are they?"
The black dragon that flew back showed a human-like bewilderment on his face:
"Chief, the Kobold Demons reported that there are many, but I'm not sure about the details!"
"Useless thing! Get out!"
The three-headed demon dragon opened its mouth and blew out a dragon flame, then sneezed loudly and blew it hundreds of meters away.
The black dragon hit a rock wall heavily, and the terrible impact almost broke its wings.
It flapped its wings and quickly escaped from the cave, with two strings of jewels in its claws.
"Humans, the Fifteen Abysses have fought more than one bloody war to compete for this dimension. Why do these humans suddenly appear here? What's the conspiracy?"
The three-headed demon dragon climbed up and looked into the distance. After a moment, it flapped its wings and flew out of the dragon cave.
