After entering the reception room, Tivan seemed to instantly gain an aura of being on his home turf.
His gaze, completely unrestrained, swept over Kytheron, then focused on the Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand, and he chuckled softly, saying:
"In billions of years, I have never encountered a life form as unique as you. You are different from all the Gods I have known; your divinity is not innate."
Hearing Tivan's words, Kytheron's face showed no change, and he said expressionlessly: "Tivan, my past seems to have nothing to do with you, does it?"
"Of course! I just didn't expect that after that junior, Odin, there would still be someone willing to collect these infinity stones."
After a slight smile, The Collector withdrew his gaze and shifted the topic to the Infinity Stones on Kytheron's hand.
Although he knew that each Infinity Stones contained infinite power, he did not know what it would be like when all six stones were gathered.
Because in his understanding, no one had ever been able to collect all six stones.
Each stone represented a destiny of the Universe; from ancient times to the present, no one could be considered truly destined to wield them.
"The power possessed by the infinity stones—I don't think many in this Universe can resist its temptation!"
Kytheron said indifferently.
"Then, new God, what exactly have you come to my Land of Nihility for? I don't have the infinity stones you need here."
The Collector, seeing this, directly asked about Kytheron's purpose.
"Not having them, perhaps that's not entirely true!"
"I heard that you are offering a reward for the Cosmic Orb throughout the Universe. Whoever brings it to you will receive a generous reward."
As soon as Kytheron said this, The Collector immediately knew that Kytheron was aware of the Cosmic Orb's secret.
Over the years, to find the Cosmic Orb, he had unearthed all the clues left by the former Controller civilization, and after consolidating them, he finally deduced its possible location.
Moreover, through the exploration of countless cosmic mercenaries and Raiders, he had already locked onto the final target.
However, as a businessman and one who is most obsessed with collecting, he could not simply hand everything over just because of Kytheron's words; that was not his character.
"As you said, I am indeed looking for the Cosmic Orb's whereabouts, and I have pretty much confirmed its location. But what do you intend to offer in exchange?"
The Collector's face revealed a greedy expression at this moment.
There were two things he wanted in his heart: the first, of course, was the infinity stones in Kytheron's hand, but he also understood that Kytheron himself was collecting the stones, so it was naturally impossible to exchange them for stones.
The remaining item was Kytheron himself, this unique species. Being able to defy heaven and become a God made him extremely valuable for collection.
He wanted to obtain Kytheron's genetic information, and then creating a replica as a collectible would also be an excellent idea.
Kytheron saw the naked greed in his eyes and sneered inwardly.
"I don't have anything to exchange. So, how about I exchange it for your life?"
Kytheron said this playfully.
Immediately, The Collector's expression changed, as did that of Katana, the maid behind him.
Jean's face also changed dramatically; she seemed not to have realized how her teacher had suddenly become so overbearing!
But before she could ask, The Collector became enraged!
"What do you mean by that? This is the Land of Nihility."
The Collector said in a cold voice, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
Although he was not skilled in combat, he was an ancient being who had lived for a long time, and the power he wielded was not much inferior to that of an average Cosmic God.
Moreover, his biggest trump card was the curse of immortality he had received from the Goddess of Death.
However, while immortal, it did not mean he would be indifferent when someone threatened him with Death.
Instantly, Katana, the maid, was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her eyes vacant, and the living creatures in the surrounding containers trembled in fear from this aura.
And the entire Land of Nihility was enveloped in an invisible pressure; those with experience knew that The Collector was enraged!
"This is really going to be a good show!"
"Who remembers when My Lord The Collector last got angry? What happened to that poor fellow then?"
"It must be those two guys just now; I thought they were really some important guests!"
All of a sudden, the Land of Nihility became lively again!
"Jean, watch closely! This is the first lesson I'm giving you in this experience: the weak have no right to make demands."
Kytheron had initially intended to exchange The Collector's future life for the Cosmic Orb's whereabouts.
After all, in the original timeline, he would have been killed by Thanos, who came to find the Reality Stone. Now that Kytheron had changed history, it was equivalent to saving his life in an invisible way.
However, since he wanted to confront Kytheron with force, Kytheron could only oblige him.
Without needing to overly use his inherent abilities, Kytheron slowly raised his right hand and activated the power of the Space Stone.
As a blue light flashed, in an instant, the space around The Collector was confined!
However, The Collector was, after all, a person of some strength. He began to forcefully impact the spatial confinement with his own power, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
Unfortunately, Kytheron merely exerted a little more force, and then no matter how hard he tried, it was futile.
After a period of futile attempts, The Collector seemed to finally give up!
"Teacher, why did you suddenly..."
At this moment, Jean finally began to ask with a puzzled expression!
"Jean, remember, the first law of the Universe: power dictates everything."
"When you possess power that transcends rules, you can acknowledge rules, but you cannot be bound by them."
Kytheron knew that most of Jean's future would still be on Earth, and with her personality, she would definitely become a Superheroes.
However, countless Superheroes have proven a truth through their examples: no matter how well you do, you will never satisfy everyone.
Especially those who are good at using public opinion to exert pressure.
And to deal with such individuals, some heroes who adhere to their so-called bottom lines can only swallow their anger.
In Kytheron's opinion, to deal with them, one only needs to flip the table directly!
Although The Collector did not fall into this category, who could blame Kytheron for having nothing to offer and just wanting a free ride?
Moreover, he did not directly seize wealth and harm lives like Thanos, which was already a merciful act.
