It is indeed quite difficult to find a Gem with a masked energy signature on a Planet.
However, Kytheron still had some impression of the Power Stone's location, which was in a ruin.
Although the Gem's energy was masked, the ruins where it was stored still had residual energy to protect the Gem.
Kytheron stretched out his hand, and suddenly a colossal, heaven-piercing phantom rose in the Universe around Morag. The phantom also stretched out its hand and directly held the entire Planet in its grasp.
Immediately, countless pieces of information from this Planet flooded into Kytheron's mind.
Traces left by ancient civilizations continuously flashed through Kytheron's mind like a slideshow.
And Kytheron personally witnessed a group of people sealing a silver orb in the most sacred place on this Planet, the Morag Temple.
Jean watched this scene beside Kytheron, a little astonished.
Those who knew understood that Kytheron was looking for something; those who didn't might think Kytheron was about to crush the Planet.
"Found it, let's go, Jean!"
In a short time, Kytheron had already found the only architectural ruin that still had energy fluctuations.
"Teacher, you're making too much of a commotion!"
After hearing Kytheron say he had found the exact location where the Gem was stored, Jean couldn't help but complain.
"Who said this isn't the simplest and most effective method!"
Kytheron didn't think there was anything wrong with his method.
He and Jean landed in the ruins of a civilization, where the remaining buildings still showed signs of its former prosperity.
There were also many remains of Morag inhabitants within the ruins, not yet completely decayed.
Everything around them spoke of a disaster that had once swept through this place.
The only perfectly preserved item in the ruins was a tightly shut door engraved with countless complex patterns, which was also the true entrance to the treasure's hiding place.
The door had a keyhole, as if telling outsiders not to attempt opening it without a key.
"Teacher, there shouldn't be any danger here, right!"
Jean looked at the surrounding scene and couldn't help but blurt out this sentence, reminded of some treasure hunt adventure movies she watched as a child.
Hearing this, Kytheron finally couldn't help but gently tap Jean on the head.
After all, Kytheron was truly speechless; was this something a powerful Mutant who wielded the Phoenix Force and magic power should say?
If anything, the most dangerous things on this Planet right now should be the two of them!
Jean, whose head was tapped by Kytheron, also reacted, and the expression on her face became a bit embarrassed.
For some reason, she always felt a bit dull after being around Kytheron, even though she had managed everything perfectly during the twenty years Kytheron was in slumber.
"It seems your training is still insufficient, and there are errors in your understanding of your own strength."
"When I have time, I'll take you to a few interstellar wars, and you'll understand that, to others, you are the danger."
As Kytheron spoke, two rays shot from his eyes, and the two doors instantly turned to dust.
Directly ahead was a dimly glowing energy shield, within which a spherical object with countless complex patterns quietly floated.
Even at such close proximity, Kytheron did not detect any energy belonging to the Power Stone leaking from this Cosmic Orb.
With a wave of his hand, Kytheron's telekinesis directly grabbed the Cosmic Orb.
With the disappearance of the Cosmic Orb, the shield protecting it also automatically vanished.
"Teacher, is this the Cosmic Orb? It's so beautiful!"
Jean looked at the silver sphere with intricate openwork patterns in Kytheron's hand and exclaimed in admiration!
Originally, Kytheron had intended to crush the Orb directly to extract the Gem within, but now he abandoned that plan.
Besides brute force, Kytheron knew that The Collector had a method to open the Orb without damaging it.
Just as Kytheron took the Cosmic Orb, on another timeline branch, Rhodes, wearing the Iron Patriot armor, and Nebula, who had already defected, also came here to borrow the Gem!
They waited on the outskirts of the ruins for Star-Lord to arrive.
"You mean, we just need to wait here, and after Peter Quill arrives, we knock him out and take the Cosmic Orb, right!"
Rhodes asked Nebula.
"That's right, as long as we knock him out, and after we've used the Gem, we'll return the Orb and put it back on him. Everything will be as if nothing happened, and with his intelligence, even if he notices something is off, it won't matter."
Although Nebula was answering Rhodes' question, her gaze was fixed on the entrance to the ruins.
This was their only chance; whether they could save her sister and defeat Thanos depended on this one time!
Before long, Star-Lord indeed landed his spaceship outside the ruins.
Then, this dancer put on his headphones in front of Rhodes and Nebula, and began to dance alone, immersed in his own World.
"He wouldn't happen to be an idiot, would he!"
Rhodes watched Star-Lord's series of actions and, somewhat speechless, complained to Nebula.
Nebula, on the other hand, felt utterly embarrassed for Star-Lord, as this was the man her sister had taken a liking to, making him her brother-in-law!
The next moment, Rhodes didn't hesitate at all, flying out directly and knocking Star-Lord unconscious with a punch.
Then, he and Nebula walked towards the temple, and everything unfolded as in the original plot.
However, when they returned to the future with the Cosmic Orb, the moment they opened it, it was empty—no Gem, not even a Shadow of one could be seen.
"What's going on?"
Tony Stark, as the project's chief engineer, was immediately filled with doubt.
According to his plan, there shouldn't have been any flaws, but what Rhodes and his team brought back was indeed an empty orb.
"This is impossible. I was instructed by Thanos to go to Ronan's side, and I personally took the Cosmic Orb from my sister and her companions. It contained the Power Stone; there's no way that could be wrong."
Seeing this, Nebula immediately came forward to explain.
"If everything is correct, then some unknown change occurred in the past timeline."
"Or perhaps the past we traveled to is not the past we thought it was."
While Tony was racking his brain.
Dr. Banner also returned from the past!
However, his face did not show the excitement of having retrieved the Time Stone; instead, there was a sense of confusion.
Because the Sorcerer Ancient One he met told him a different story: the appearance of a certain individual had caused the entire Universe's timeline to become chaotic.
Past, present, and future, various timelines and parallel Universes were intertwined.
Subsequently, Tony and the others began to discuss the timelines they had each visited, and indeed discovered more differences.
