"uru ore!"
Seeing the peculiar metal appear in Michael's hand, Nova Prime was once again shocked.
As the Nova Empire, which had secretly researched Asgard for a thousand years, how could she not know the magic of Uru metal? If Vibranium had become a top scarce material in the Universe due to that Cosmic Elder,
then Asgard's Uru metal was only a tiny bit inferior to Vibranium! Uru, like Vibranium, is a special product in the Universe and not widely circulated.
However, the major powers' research into Uru is not necessarily less than that into Vibranium! Research by major Universe-level powers has found that Uru and Vibranium each have their strengths and weaknesses; Uru is slightly inferior to Vibranium. This difference is like the difference between Adamantium and secondary Adamantium. Of course, this is in terms of refining various alloy ratios.
But! From another perspective, Uru is even better than Vibranium! For energy utilization, enhancement rates, and so on..., Uru is much stronger than Vibranium! The weapons used by a super-powered unit of the Nova Empire are almost all made of Uru metal alloy, all of which can unleash several, or even more, greater power from their own strength! To cultivate such a super-powered unit, the Nova Empire has almost emptied its treasure mountain, and the cost can be said to be extremely high! And the biggest part of it is... the acquisition of Uru metal! Because this thing is also a scarce resource in the Universe! Like Vibranium, due to the Kree Empire's setback at the hands of Asgard, no power seeks trouble with Asgard, nor do they want their own rear to be pierced by a ray of light from the sky, with war raging everywhere! Asgard's God King Odin is almost considered one of the top dangerous individuals among the major Universe powers. As far as Nova Prime knows, Asgardians traveling in the Universe almost never carry money; they basically just show their faces! Why? Because they are Asgardians! Because they have Uru metal! ... "King Michael, did you... rob Asgard's warehouse?"
Nova Prime swallowed hard, looking at Michael's face with an expression of utter disbelief.
No wonder King Michael said that everyone in Asgard wanted to flay him and pull out his tendons. Not only did he steal Odin's divine artifact, gungnir, the symbol of Asgardian kingship, but he also emptied their Uru reserves! Just from the way that uru ore appeared, Nova Prime didn't believe that Michael would just stare blankly at Asgard's warehouse full of Uru metal!
"You can't blame me for that!"
Michael made an expression as if to say, 'How could you think that?' "If Odin hadn't ambushed me, would I have done such a thing?"
Michael did not explain; instead, he went along with Nova Prime's words, deliberately distorting the facts.
"Ambushed Odin?"
Nova Prime indeed looked bewildered, and at the same time, she felt some disdain for Odin's character! Although Odin did indeed ambush Michael, Michael's words directly led Nova Prime astray, ensuring that Nova Prime would not suspect where Michael's vast amount of Uru metal came from in the future.
After emptying Asgard's Uru metal, which had been mined for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, what's so strange about selling a bit more?
"Of course, for some ordinary things, or demands that aren't too difficult for us to handle, etc., we can also trade with Universe Universal Coins, Energy Blocks, and large quantities of common materials."
The Nova Empire's neutral policy has attracted countless Universe threats to come here to prospect for gold and enjoy themselves.
If they abide by the Nova Empire's laws, there's naturally no problem, but the key is whether these dangerous individuals, accustomed to unrestrained freedom, can truly abide by the Nova Empire's laws? Naturally, they cannot, so the Nova Corps handles countless disputes every year.
When they are too busy, they naturally hire outside forces to do these things... Although for every scarce material, Michael only needs a tiny bit to understand it, and then he can infinitely manifest it.
But to build a super power, can everything rely on Michael to manifest? How many years would Michael have to be a charging treasure to establish his own super Universe power? Michael believes that as his subordinate power, not only must their strength be strong, but their status must also be elevated.
The Kree Empire has a small spaceship for everyone; Michael's subordinates should at least have that kind of status! A small spaceship for each person, right? Like the Kree in Captain Marvel, each with their own small spaceship...
A regiment, a small Universe battleship, should be equipped, right! A division or brigade, a small Universe battleship fleet, should be equipped, right! An army group, a medium Universe battleship fleet, should be equipped, right! A large military region, a large Universe battleship fleet, should be equipped, right! A war zone, at least several large Universe battleship fleets, are needed, right!
Three million super-powered legions, divided into three 3 war zones, each war zone's Universe-level war fortress, Universe-level battleships, Universe-level frigates, Universe-level defensive weapons, and so on, all need to be equipped, right! If Michael were to manifest these things, how long would it take? By then, Sunset Purple Sweet Potato would have snapped his fingers countless times, and Michael would still not have finished manifesting the most basic battleships of a Universe superpower.
"Hmm..., forget it, that's too terrifying!"
As soon as this thought emerged, Michael quickly chased this absurd idea out of his mind...
"Of course!"
Nova Prime's face bloomed into an even wider smile. "The more advanced the item, the more it naturally requires an item of the same level for exchange, otherwise, how would it reflect its status as a scarce resource in the Universe?"
"King Michael, what kind of cooperation do you wish to achieve with our Nova Empire?"
Intelligence trading, of course, would be handled by specialists.
After confirming that she could obtain countless scarce resources from Michael, Nova Prime was even more concerned about the cooperation Michael mentioned.
Nominal alliance, strategic alliance, or life-and-death alliance? Nova Prime also pondered in secret.
