In Marvel, people are slime Chapter 175

Days later.

In the eastern district of Xandar’s main city, a circular piece of land with a radius of one thousand three hundred meters was preserved as a large memorial plaza.

This was the legendary battlefield where the Asgardian Duke fought the interstellar terrorist Ronan.

The plaza’s ground was mottled with magma rock, forming a concave arc—the Nova Empire had preserved all traces left by the Power Stone’s destruction of the planet.

There were also some shallow footprints on the ground, left when the surface was in a semi-molten state.

It was said that the lonely line of footprints belonged to the savior Duke. These footprints looked quite small, so people said that ‘ta’ was a lovely and petite Duchess, who disguised herself as a man to avoid trouble.

On the other side of the plaza was a chaotic expanse of footprints, left by the despicable cosmic marauders.

After Ronan’s defeat, they also wanted to seize the Power Stone, but the divine and invincible Duke simply raised ‘his’ hand and turned them all into ash… Most people spread this rumor.

At this moment, some Nova Empire soldiers were busy in the plaza.

They were erecting three huge stone tablets.

Three star-shaped space battleships each hoisted a giant stone tablet, over ten meters high, carefully placing them near the center of the plaza, forming a semicircle.

The entire construction process was completed in just over ten minutes.

After the soldiers removed the isolation ropes, some Xandarians, either curious or solemn, gathered around, looking up at the words carved on the stone tablets.

The first stone tablet was inscribed with the names of the sacrificed Nova Empire warriors. Xandarian script densely covered the entire tablet; in this battle, the Nova Corps suffered many casualties to protect Xandar.

Another stone tablet was inscribed with the names of civilians who died in the war, fewer than on the first tablet. Because of the Nova Corps’ desperate protection and the timely end of the war, the scope of the conflict was not too large.

The third stone tablet had only one name inscribed on it, along with a long prefix and suffix belonging to that name.

“Daddy, daddy, who is this… Echebellia·Galactic Core Black Hole? His name is placed with the dead people, did he also die?”

A tender voice echoed in the plaza.

A little alien girl in white pulled her father’s large hand, looking up with curiosity as she asked her dad.

The little girl had light yellow skin and red hair, looking quite delicate and cute.

Her father, however, was a thin, middle-aged man with green skin and horns, wearing a floating, rimless pair of glasses.

The father smiled kindly, reached out to ruffle his daughter’s hair, and gently explained, “It’s Echebellia. Galactic Core Black Hole is the title we gave him.”

The full name on the stone tablet was Nova Empire Honorary Admiral and Asgardian Duke, Echebellia, His Excellency Galactic Core Black Hole. Below the title were several smaller lines of text recording his merits.

The so-called Galactic Core Black Hole was a ‘superhero title’ unanimously bestowed upon him by countless people after witnessing him swallow Ronan’s giant battleship, the Dark Aster, out of thin air.

And it received official recognition from the Nova Empire.

“He is the hero and savior of the Battle of Xandar, saving billions of us Xandarians single-handedly. Little Bella should also be grateful.”

“Oh!”

The little girl nodded, half-understanding, “Then why did he die? Was he killed while fighting bad guys?”

The little girl clenched her small fists, her eyes filled with longing, and spoke righteously, “How pitiful! Bella will also go fight bad guys in the future! To avenge him!”

“Well done! You truly are my daughter!”

ε=(´ο｀*)))Sigh~~

Nearby, a person wearing a black pointed hat and a black robe let out a long sigh.

He looked up slightly at the name on the giant stone tablet, very troubled.

How did I die? How come I don’t know?

Which genius thought of putting a living person’s name on a tablet with dead people’s names?!

Alice, beside him, covered her mouth, giggling and shaking her shoulders, trying hard to hold back her laughter.

This made the dark lines on Laymu’s forehead deepen a few shades.

…

In the great battle a few days ago, Laymu subdued all the marauders, but in the end, he returned the Yaka Arrow to Yondu. Yondu and his people safely left Xandar.

Laymu quite admired Yondu and didn’t mind doing him a favor.

Moreover, the structure of the Yaka Arrow was not complicated for the King of Wisdom; as long as he had the opportunity to find suitable metal, it could be easily replicated.

The day after the war ended, the Nova Empire high command held a thank-you party for Laymu, also inviting Star-Lord and others who had provided information.

It was also at the party that the Nova Prime announced the bestowal of the title of Nova Empire Honorary Admiral upon Laymu and the establishment of Asgard as an eternal brotherly nation.

Star-Lord and his companions were also pardoned for their crimes of jailbreaking and disturbing public order, and they received a large bonus.

Of course, a formal official commendation and medal ceremony would still be held later.

At Laymu’s request, the Nova Prime also invited him to visit a classified core database located deep underground on Xandar.

This facility was completely physically disconnected from the network and protected by a thick crust, primarily researching military technologies and applications.

Originally, Laymu was allowed to choose ten items of interest, such as data or technology, to take with him, under the guise of technological exchange with Asgard.

But according to Laymu’s thoughts, he naturally wanted to take as much as possible; taking one less byte would be a loss for him. So, he quietly emptied the entire classified database—having had previous experience, this time was very smooth.

In the classified database, Laymu even discovered immature nanotechnology. This provided some help for him to improve his Iron Man suit.

Although the Iron Man suit had long been reduced to a toy for him, this time, he planned to combine Asgardian runic technology and Uru metal with nanotechnology to create a super powerful and magnificent… toy.

In addition to the above, Laymu also received gifts from important figures in various fields of the Nova Empire, from business magnates to military and political giants, totaling nearly a hundred people.

Although the gifts were varied, they were all equally valuable, and their purpose was naturally to express gratitude and strengthen relationships.

In the original timeline, Star-Lord and his companions, who saved Xandar, did not receive the same treatment as Laymu.

They only received a pardon and a spaceship. There were no monuments, no honorary positions, no parties, no technology, and no one gave them gifts.
