Chapter 023: The Universe

Wang Bo felt much more comfortable after dodging like that.

But it drove the people outside crazy with worry.

Especially Wang Bo's former secretary, the blonde Julia, who was frantic with anxiety. Ever since Wang Bo completely halted the construction of the spaceship, her phone had been ringing off the hook.

One call after another came in almost nonstop.

No sooner had she hung up one call than another came through within seconds.

At first, she kept apologizing, hoping for understanding, and then actively tried to contact Wang Bo, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

But after a few days of trying, Julia found that she simply couldn't reach Wang Bo no matter what.

So she had an epiphany, turned off her phone, and tossed it onto the sofa.

Whatever happens, happens. I'm done serving.

Just as Julia was patting herself on the back for her cleverness, she found that after her phone stopped ringing, her door was practically broken down by clients who came to visit in person, one after another.

Every single one of them was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

Julia wanted to cry but had no tears. She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm no longer the boss's secretary. If you want to find the boss, go find his new secretary, Natalia!"

"But we can't find Miss Natalia," the clients said helplessly. "Your boss's new secretary, Miss Natalia, has completely disappeared, so now we can only come to you."

Julia was dumbfounded. Her first thought was that the boss had run off with that little bitch Natalia.

Leaving her behind.

Looking at the clients who seemed ready to devour her, Julia fell into deep despair.

Boss, where are you? Please, come back soon!

I can't take it anymore.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Julia had no idea that Natalia—whom she thought the boss had taken with him when he fled—was actually Black Widow, and she was being reprimanded by her superior.

"I thought you wouldn't let me down, Natasha."

Nick Fury, the bald one-eyed man, stared at his subordinate. She had once been a very satisfactory agent, but now she was far from satisfactory.

He glared at her with his one good eye.

As if casting a curse.

Natasha's face was expressionless, but inside she was helpless. She hadn't expected Justin Hammer to suddenly vanish like that, as if he had evaporated into thin air, completely untraceable.

It was simply unbelievable.

She had broken into Justin Hammer's home several times but found nothing.

"This is my mistake," Natasha said, not making excuses but admitting her fault.

But Nick Fury wasn't about to let his once-reliable subordinate off easily. "What I need is not your apology, but Justin Hammer's whereabouts."

Natasha said, "I haven't found his whereabouts yet."

"He disappeared right under your nose."

"I know."

"Then find him. Find that guy immediately, no matter what method you use. Understood?"

"Yes." Natasha nodded. Wang Bo's sudden disappearance had also made her furious, as it had made this super spy lose face.

So Natasha swore she would find Wang Bo, even if she had to dig three feet into the ground.

...

If Wang Bo knew what she was thinking, he would laugh his head off and then silently say sorry. Because by now, he was no longer on Earth.

After studying for a while in the Time Villa, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Wang Bo.

He thought of something: since Gu Yi and Lady Gremory had no way to modify the planet, he would go find a civilization that could.

This was the Marvel universe. Besides Earth, there were countless races in the cosmos. For example, Thanos's lackeys, the Chitauri, were a civilization capable of interstellar travel.

In the future Battle of New York, just the Chitauri alone nearly took down New York.

The Chitauri possessed尖端科技武器 and enormous Leviathan bio-beasts. Their bodies were half-mechanical, half-organic, and all combat units were controlled by the mothership core, never knowing retreat.

They wreaked havoc in New York, attempting to transport their entire main force to Earth through the portal.

The Avengers were outnumbered. If time had dragged on a bit longer, they would have definitely been defeated.

If it hadn't been for Iron Man's desperate move of carrying a nuclear warhead into deep space to destroy the Chitauri mothership and the portal, the outcome of the Battle of New York would have been rewritten.

Yet even such a powerful race as the Chitauri was nothing in the universe.

Empires stronger than them came one after another.

For instance, the Sovereign. A gold-skinned species that appeared in "Guardians of the Galaxy." They were a highly evolved society with formidable genetic engineering technology and unmanned spacecraft that could be piloted and controlled across interstellar distances.

Then there were the Shi'ar.

One of the three major alien empires in the Marvel universe. They evolved from birds, were artificially incubated and raised in special hatcheries, and possessed超强通信和传送技术, as well as unique holographic projection and cloaking technologies.

And the Kree, or the Kree Empire.

A warlike conquering race that appeared in "Captain Marvel."

This empire had mastered an Omni-Wave Projector, enabling hyperspace communication and the manufacture of high-performance weapons. They were also advanced in other areas of space travel and machinery.

Besides these, the Marvel universe had other races, so Wang Bo believed that there must be other cosmic civilizations with the technology to modify planets.

After all, when technology reached a certain level, even creating artificial planets was no problem, let alone modifying one.

So Wang Bo immediately set off to find the Ancient One, hoping she could send him to the planet Xandar.

The Ancient One didn't refuse. She opened a portal and sent Wang Bo to Xandar.

Xandar had appeared in "Guardians of the Galaxy," and its Nova Corps was quite famous in the universe.

It was a highly developed super-civilization with a great reputation in the cosmos.

Otherwise, Star-Lord wouldn't have entrusted the Power Stone to Xandar for protection in the end.

Unfortunately, Xandar ultimately couldn't stop Thanos. Not only did it lose the Power Stone, but it also brought destruction upon itself.

Wang Bo came to Xandar to see if it had the technology to modify planets.

Because Wang Bo had the ability to comprehend languages, he could communicate freely even with aliens. So he encountered no language barriers and easily blended into the planet.

Of course, more importantly, Xandar was home to many alien races, so one more Wang Bo was hardly noticeable.
