"The kaimier heart at Earths core?"
"And the significance of Kaimier Star to this Universe?"
Hearing Michael's words, Tivan's expression also became serious.
That heart belonged to a fellow named Ke Mi Er. Was this Ke Mi Er a God or something? Although Tivan muttered the word 'Ke Mi Er', Michael believed that 'kaimier heart' referred to… the heart deep within Earths core, and Kaimier Star, of course, was Midgard Star, Earth!… "No problem!"
"All these things you want to know… I know them."
"However, the price for obtaining this information is also very high!"
"An Infinity Stone!"
"One Infinity Stone!"
"As long as you can give me one Infinity Stone, or something of equivalent value,…"
"And, you must give me the payment first."
"Then, this information can be told to you!"
Perhaps he was pondering whether it was worth it, or perhaps he was considering how to fleece a big client. After a moment of thought, Tivan raised a finger and said to Michael with a serious expression… "Are you sure your information is worth this price?"
Hearing that the price was an Infinity Stone, Michael couldn't help but be a little moved.
It should be known that although Infinity Stones were not the most valuable things in the Universe, their rarity and high value were absolutely undeniable.
What kind of information would require such a high price to obtain? It was just a piece of information, after all. Was this fellow trying to fleece a big client? Michael couldn't help but be suspicious of this… "Of course, it's worth this price!"
"I can assure you that this price absolutely does not deceive you!"
"In fact, to make you my friend, this is already a friendship price!"
Tivan naturally noticed Michael's suspicion and quickly explained to Michael in a respectful tone.
It should be known that Michael was a Multiverse Level strongman who wielded Domain Power. If he were to be displeased and destroy his Single Universe Level clone, it would be extremely easy! "Just an Infinity Stone."
"I don't believe you wouldn't know where to find one."
"Why don't you go get it yourself?"
Infinity Stones, to… those with insignificant strength, might be treasures, but to those Ancient Celestials and Cosmic Elders who had lived for countless eons, they were merely powerful artifacts, not something of immense value.
If it were The Collector in the Movie Multiverse, he might covet Infinity Stones, but The Collector in this Variant Hybrid Multiverse would definitely not find them that rare.
In fact, in some long rivers of time, Infinity Stones might even have been played with and grown tired of by these beings.
"I do know the locations of some Infinity Stones."
"But those… things, for beings like us, do not have any effect on improving our strength."
"Therefore, even if we knew those locations, we have never gone to retrieve them."
"However, the information you want to know this time is not ordinary information."
"If I didn't make some preparations and just told you this information directly, I would definitely suffer severe damage, and it wouldn't be surprising if I were to perish as a result."
"The reason I need you to provide an Infinity Stone first is simply because I want to shield myself from the harm involved."
"What's more, you wouldn't want to encounter unnecessary trouble, would you?"
As if knowing Michael would definitely be suspicious, Tivan explained with… a look of complete candidness.
Just as Michael had guessed, while Infinity Stones might be something newly ascended powerhouses would desperately want to get their hands on, to a Cosmic Elder like Tivan, they were just discarded trash he had grown tired of playing with long ago.
Perhaps calling them trash was a bit much.
But it was absolutely true that Cosmic Elders like Tivan had no interest in Infinity Stones! Otherwise, if these Cosmic Elders were interested, how could any Infinity Stones still circulate in the Universe?
And who could snatch an Infinity Stone from the hands of these Multiverse-level Giants?! "I hope you're not lying!"
"Otherwise, even if you have countless clones, you are dead!"
Feeling the sincerity from Tivan's clone, Michael frowned and tentatively believed his words.
Regardless of whether Tivan was lying or not, Michael decided to go and get an Infinity Stone to test it out first.
The Infinity Stones in this Universe, only one Space Stone had been fused by Michael; the others were still there. Michael only needed to retrieve one to test it, and he would know whether Tivan was telling the truth or not.
"Almighty above!"
"I swear every word I say is true!"
Facing Michael's scrutinizing gaze, Tivan appeared very candid.
"Hmph!"
"Wait!"
"I'll go get one now!"
Hearing Tivan swear, Michael narrowed his eyes, and the aura he exuded became even… colder.
Tivan actually swore by the Almighty—could this Universe even connect to such an existence? Guessing in his heart, Michael calmly and casually sliced open a spatial rift, then stepped into it.
Tearing open a space to leave directly within Tivan's palace, which was filled with various restrictions, was also Michael's warning to Tivan.
Perhaps Michael couldn't deal with that so-called Almighty, but dealing with you, Tivan, was effortless, even if you possessed nearly infinite clones! But those… clones, the more they split, the weaker their strength became, and why would Michael care?! "I await your command at any time!"
Tivan naturally received Michael's warning.
But Tivan didn't take it to heart; he had never intended to make an enemy of a Multiverse Level Giant.
Therefore, Tivan appeared very calm… "Alright."
"The Power Stone is in hand."
"Now, tell me the answer I want!"
Soon, before the spatial rift had even closed, Michael stepped out of it again.
However, in the hand of Michael, who had just returned, there was an additional round, small object—a Cosmic Orb! Michael was right before; at their level of strength, once they knew the whereabouts of those… Infinity Stones, saying they would retrieve them meant they would truly retrieve them! The Mind Stone was in Thanos's hands, the Time Stone was in the Ancient One's hands, and the Soul Stone was on Vormir. Obtaining these three stones would require some effort.
And the Space Stone had already been fused with Michael's Space Stone to become a new Space Stone, so Michael naturally wouldn't take it out.
All that remained were the Power Stone and the Reality Stone.
These two Infinity Stones were ownerless, allowing Michael to take them.
But Michael decided to sacrifice the Reality Stone to the Golden Finger mutated gem later to see if it would activate new functions or make the Golden Finger more powerful. Therefore, Michael went directly to retrieve the Power Stone on Morag, which had not yet been taken by anyone.
And for Michael's current strength, this round trip was nothing more than… the blink of an eye… "Okay."
"Please wait a moment!"
"I need to use this Infinity Stone to do some preparatory work."
Naturally taking the Cosmic Orb, as if to confirm what he had said before, Tivan went into a unique building next to the palace and began to get busy.
"Oh?"
Only at this moment did Michael realize that if he hadn't walked up to this building and seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known it existed.
Otherwise, in his perception, this building simply did not exist.
"Within this…"
"Could it really involve some indescribable existence?"
Michael's expression was a bit grim.
If the guess proved true, then for Michael, this was completely… an unadulterated bad news!
