"Haha,"
Nova Prime smiled, "So, King Qi Jun has already unified Earth?"
Michael admitting it himself and the Nova Corps merely speculating were two entirely different matters.
Now, hearing Michael himself admit that he commanded a vast legion, Nova Prime and the others didn't care whether this legion was sleeping or awake. In their words and demeanor, they already treated Michael as a truly equal figure.
Ronan alone had given the entire Nova Empire a headache. Michael himself possessed strength even greater than Ronan's, and if he also had a powerful legion behind him...
"Not yet,"
Michael shook his head with a smile. "If it were just the material World, unifying Earth would indeed be no problem. Although Earth's technology is developing rapidly, it can only follow behind me and eat dust."
"But Earth is somewhat complex. Earth is the central node of the Nine Realms Star Region, and there are many powerful individuals from the mystic side paying attention. Unifying Earth would simply be asking for trouble."
"In fact, although I do have some influence on Earth, I personally don't really want to develop there. There are too many monsters and demons; if I were to truly unify Earth, I would never find peace in this life!"
"This time leaving Earth to travel in the Universe was actually… to scout around and see where would be suitable for development. Of course, traveling is also genuine."
"To be honest, I never expected that our first stop, Xandar, would lead to us being discovered by you,"
Michael shrugged. "We originally wanted to keep a low profile, but we didn't expect to be discovered by you."
"But this isn't entirely a bad thing. Otherwise, how could I have met Nova Prime? Isn't that right!"
Michael didn't hide anything from Nova Prime. This was already Michael's preliminary plan for venturing into the Universe.
In fact, there was nothing to hide about these matters. Michael wanted to find a territory in the Universe to establish his own power, and naturally, it would be known sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.
Since that was the case, why not tell Nova Prime directly? He could gain their goodwill and also obtain a large amount of intelligence resources.
Although the Nova Empire in the Universe is not as powerful as the Kree Empire, the Skrull Empire, etc., it has at least existed for ten thousand years. Their intelligence, even if there are some errors (such as regarding Earth), is surely much better than Michael investigating himself!
Even if Michael had the highly evolved White, a super AI, all he could understand was information on paper. How could that compare to the Nova Empire!
As for whether Michael would be forcibly arrested by the Nova Corps after saying these things, there was absolutely no need to worry. First, they couldn't capture Michael with his methods, and second, the things Michael had deliberately leaked earlier would make these people not dare to act rashly!
"He hasn't unified Earth?"
Nova Prime was very surprised. How could someone of Michael's strength and with a cosmic battleship not have unified even a single Planet? This was impossible!
"Earth has mystic powers, Asgard."
Nova Prime immediately thought of Asgard's Bifrost Bridge.
Listening further, Nova Prime felt that her intelligence system indeed had problems. "No! If it were just Asgard, it wouldn't make King Qi Jun say he'd be endlessly troubled for life."
"Unless it's a fight to the death, if King Qi Jun were to unify Earth, even if it were only to nominally submit to Asgard's rule, he wouldn't be unable to find peace for his entire life."
Nova Prime was indeed a qualified top politician. She could analyze many things from every word Michael spoke.
"King Qi Jun's strength and influence should both be very strong!"
Nova Prime had her own judgment. Even though Michael hadn't unified Earth, Nova Prime still placed Michael on an equal footing with herself and continued to refer to him as King Qi Jun.
"Otherwise, the construction of such a massive cosmic battleship, even if the nations on Earth didn't discover it, should not have escaped Asgard's detection. Since King Qi Jun could build such a huge cosmic battleship right under Asgard's nose, then he must have something that makes Asgard wary, whether it's strength or influence, something that makes Asgard concede."
Unfortunately, the construction of the Dream had been invisible from beginning to end, and truly, no one knew about it! Michael also didn't know that Nova Prime had fallen into her own conjectures.
"As expected, at this level, even genuine travel must inevitably carry a certain objective."
Nova Prime now had a clearer understanding and a new guess: "In that case, is the cooperation he mentioned about exchanging intelligence or forming an alliance?"
..."Haha."
Nova Prime laughed again, "I wonder what kind of relationship King Qi Jun has with Asgard?"
Although she had a rough idea of Michael's intentions, Nova Prime wouldn't voice them. Instead, she changed the subject to talk about something else.
In a negotiation, whoever speaks first is at a disadvantage, and that's true everywhere.
Ahem, of course, this is under the premise that both parties are on equal footing.
"Asgard?"
Michael glanced at Nova Prime and smiled playfully, "Perhaps they want to kill me, or even flay me alive."
Both Nova Prime and the accompanying personnel were stunned.
So, all that you said before was actually nonsense? You've offended Asgard and can't stay there? You just want to escape Asgard's sphere of influence and find another place to develop?
Nova Prime couldn't help but pinch her brow. What was all this? Was what he said true or false?
However, Nova Prime didn't change her expression because of this. After all, Michael himself was a super-powerful individual. Even if he had offended Asgard, it was best not to make an enemy of him if possible. The Nova Empire had just emerged from war and was in a period of reconstruction. It truly couldn't afford to make more powerful enemies!
However, the true relationship between King Qi Jun and Asgard also concerned how the Nova Empire should interact with King Qi Jun, and this point had to be clarified. If King Qi Jun was truly an enemy of Asgard, then how to deal with King Qi Jun also had to take Asgard's will into account.
In the known Universe, no one wanted to offend Asgard!
"Are you sure what you said is true?"
Nova Prime straightened her back, and despite her white hair, she still exuded the demeanor of an iron lady, saying jokingly, "Asgard is one of the top powers in the Milky Way Galaxy. Aren't you afraid we'll give your information to them?"
