Chapter 241: It takes another evildoer to defeat another evildoer, and the Soul Gem is in hand!
Steve, on the other hand, smiled and shook his head, shouting to Bucky, who was playing ostrich in the distance: "Hey, Bucky, did you hear? Howard isn't blaming you. You can pull your head out of the sand and come meet an old friend!"
Under Howard's astonished gaze, Bucky, looking guilty, walked over from a distance: "Howard, Ms. Maria, I'm so sorry for everything I did to you back then..."
Howard smiled, patted Bucky's shoulder, and said, "Sergeant Barnes, that wasn't your fault. Don't be too hard on yourself. I don't blame you at all. On the contrary, I'm very happy to know that a former comrade-in-arms is still alive in this new era."
Maria also smiled and nodded beside him.
She had also heard of Bucky's heroic deeds and knew that he, like Captain, was an out-and-out hero. Assassinating them certainly wasn't his intention.
Seeing that neither of them blamed him, Bucky's heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally settled, and he smiled.
When family and old friends reunite, it's inevitable to reminisce. Tony and Bucky were telling Howard and Maria about all the events that had happened over the years and the changes in the era.
Steve, feeling Wanda frequently looking his way, walked towards the Maximoff family.
Steve showed no formality, stepping forward to shake hands with Wanda's father and introducing himself calmly.
And he introduced himself as a son-in-law.
When Wanda's parents learned that their daughter's boyfriend was not only the benefactor who brought them back to life but also Captain America, the World-class hero who ended HYDRA during World War II, the old couple couldn't have been more excited!
He quickly charmed them by calling them "Father-in-law" and "Mother-in-law," making them wish they could marry Wanda to Steve immediately.
By the time both sides finished reminiscing, Sharon, who had been standing alone, had already used S.H.I.E.L.D.'s privileges to arrange all the proper identities for the four resurrected individuals.
Steve stroked Sharon's hair and said nothing more.
He simply spent the next few days focused on Sharonalone.
Wanda, on the other hand, took leave and went with her parents to Sokovia to see their old hometown.
After spending a few days with Sharon,
Steve wasn't one to stay idle for too long, so a few days later, he set off for the Universe.
This time, he didn't plan to delay any longer; he intended to collect all the Infinity Stones.
However, this time he wasn't acting alone but brought Sharon with him.
This was not only to compensate for his relatively less time spent with Sharon but also because Sharon, like him, could survive freely in the Universe, making it more convenient.
Vormir.
Two streaks of light broke through the Planet's atmosphere and landed on the peak of the Soul Altar!
Red Skull, as the Soul Emissary, looked at the two people who had landed, especially Steve, with a face full of surprise: "Steve Rogers, it's you, you despicable brat! Why are you here again?!"
"Wait, why did I say 'again'...?"
But Red Skull wouldn't get an answer. Steve merely glanced at him and then slapped Red Skull to death.
Immediately, Steve ignored the Red Skull, who had turned to ash, and looked at Sharon, smiling: "Sharon, do you want to destroy a Planet for fun? Want to try what it feels like to use your full power? How about it?"
Sharon's eyes lit up at the words. Although she had always known that the power Steve gave her was very strong, she had never dared to use her full power because she had always been on Earth.
Hearing Steve say she could destroy a Planet for fun, Sharon's heart was instantly swayed.
Staring at Steve, she blinked her eyes and asked expectantly, "Really? Will there be any bad side effects?"
Steve smiled, stroked her head, and dotingly said, "Of course. Not only does this Planet have no life, so it won't cause any impact, but even if you want to destroy an entire galaxy, I'll be with you."
He's so good, I love him so much!
Sharon's eyes were filled with emotion, and she couldn't help but kiss Steve.
As their lips met, a smile curved on Steve's lips. See, brothers, winning a girl's heart is actually very simple. You just need to be willing to accompany her in destroying an entire galaxy, and occasionally give her a Planet to play with.
Simple and easy.
When the two separated, Sharon eagerly activated her Binary mode, and her whole body became radiant.
Sharon soared into the air, ascending higher and higher, intending to create a human-shaped comet impact on Vormir!
And just as Sharon left, an orange gem suddenly flew out from the altar below, floating in front of Steve, flashing madly!
Soul Stone: Stop, big brother, I surrender!
Steve grabbed the Soul Stone, felt the message of submission it sent, raised an eyebrow, and said leisurely:
"Oh, you're cowering so quickly. You're not as good as the Soul Stone from another Universe~"
The Soul Stone trembled. No wonder it not only felt the aura of other Infinity Stones from this person but also the aura of its own 'corpse'. So, there really was another version of itself from another Universe that was forcibly taken, or even destroyed, by this person!
Luckily, it was clever. After its emissary was slapped to death, it immediately sensed something was wrong and came out to check the situation!
Otherwise, it might have followed in the footsteps of the Soul Stone from another Universe!
Wait, something seems wrong. Why does that woman seem to be rushing down!
Steve, however, was unmoved by the frantic pleas from the Soul Stone for him to stop it. He merely held it tightly, preventing it from breaking free, and could only watch as Sharon, like a comet, crashed into Vormir!
Boom—
The next moment, with a thunderous roar, Vormir, a Planet not much smaller than Earth, began to collapse inwards from the point of Sharon's impact, then burst open like fireworks in the cosmic starry sky!
After the aftermath dissipated, Steve finally released his tightly clenched hand from the Soul Stone, looked down at the Soul Stone in his hand, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"You didn't think that once you were in my hands, you'd still have a chance to return to your Planet, did you?"
"Things in my hands cannot leave without my permission, so your altar Planet naturally has no reason to exist."
"Oh, right, before your Planet collapsed and died, it was still calling your name, Soul Stone, thinking you would appear to protect it, hahahahahaha~"
Crack—
Listen to the sound of a broken heart!
The Soul Stone, which had always watched others exchange the souls of their loved ones for itself and felt immense sadness, for the first time felt the heartbreak of those who lost their loved ones...
It swore that if it were given another chance, it would never set up such a cruel, beastly test of exchanging soul for soul!
Because this feeling was simply too painful!
This teaches us a truth: evil people must always be tempered by even more evil people, and our Captain is clearly someone who is more evil (good) than most villains (gods)~
Chapter 242 Passive Dimensional Upgrade Soul Gem
As the Soul Stone let out a heartbreaking cry, its orange glow suddenly became even more dazzling, and its energy index increased geometrically!
What, is our Soul Stone contestant about to unleash a small Universe and seek desperate revenge against the hateful White Ghost farmer because his Planet was destroyed?
Of course... that's impossible~
The Soul Stone was indeed stimulated by the destruction of the Planet and advanced to the Multiversal level ahead of time.
But once it entered the Multiversal level, it also meant that the Soul Stone became 'My destiny is determined by Captain, not by myself.'
It was completely bound to Steve's soul, and now it truly couldn't be separated.
Even with extreme reluctance, the Soul Stone had no choice but to accept this reality.
The Soul Stone's sudden advancement made Steve raise an eyebrow, exclaiming in surprise, "Huh, how did the Soul Stone advance so quickly?"
"Could it be that appropriate stimulation to a Stone can increase the advancement speed of the Infinity Stones?"
Steve's eyes lit up, and he decided to try it on the next Power Stone.
After all, among the previous Infinity Stones, except for the Space Stone which Loki personally advanced, most of them took a certain amount of time to successfully advance, so the Soul Stone could be said to be the fastest to advance on its own.
This is worth a try.....
At this moment, Sharon also flew out from the shattered Planet fragments and came to Steve's side.
Sharon glanced at the Soul Stone in Steve's hand: "It seems you've already got it."
Steve gently stroked Sharon's hair and smiled: "This is all thanks to you, which forced it to appear and saved a lot of procedures~"
Although Sharon knew Steve was coaxing her, it still made her incredibly happy~
Steve flipped his hand, storing the Soul Stone within his soul, and then raised his hand to open another portal.
After one step, the two of them emerged from the cosmic starry sky onto a desolate, dark Planet.
This was the Planet where the Power Stone was located; when he brought back half of the life annihilated by Thanos from another Universe, he casually obtained the coordinates of where that Power Stone had been.
As for the Power Stone and Soul Stone from the other Universe that were destroyed in the final blow against Arishem the Judge, there's no need to worry.
The Infinity Stones are the embodiment of the Universe's rules; even if destroyed, the Universe that lost the Stone will slowly re-condense new Infinity Stones over the long river of time.
It's only a matter of time.
Moreover, this indirectly prevented Thanos in those two Universes from collecting all six Stones, thus avoiding a disaster.
The living beings in those two Universes should all say, "Thank you, Captain!"
Oh, right, speaking of Thanos, the Thanos in this Universehasn't been dealt with yet.
After he gets his hands on the Power Stone, the Thanosof this Universe had better pray he can get the Heart of the Universe!
Otherwise..... he's dead!
The two of them looked around the Planet where the Power Stone was located.
It was a grim, desolate, ghostly sight.
Sharon looked at the cosmic lizard scurrying past her feet, her expression somewhat disgusted: "I kind of regret destroying Vormir just now. Although that Planet had no life, at least it looked incredibly beautiful...."
"And this Planet, although it has life, it's too disgusting, and the creatures inside are also disgusting. I should have used this Planet as my experiment subject...."
Steve shrugged indifferently: "No need to regret. It's just a mere Planet. If you want to destroy this Planet, just do it. There are plenty of such Planets in the Universe; you can destroy as many as you want~"
Sharon shook her head: "No, I just wanted to test how strong my power was. I'm not a real Destroyer of Planets."
Steve's mouth curved downwards at her words.
Although you're not.
But unfortunately, your husband seems to be a PlanetDestroyer; not long ago, he shattered a Universe and destroyed countless Planets.....
After the previous Universe was shattered by him and Arishem the Judge of the Celestials, he seemed to no longer consider destroying a Planet a big deal.
Just as Steve was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and turned his head to look in the direction of the Power Temple.
Sharon, who had been paying attention to his emotions, immediately noticed: "What's wrong?"
Steve's eyes were covered with a yellow glow from the Mind Stone, and a figure dancing awkwardly was reflected in the yellow light, making him smile: "Nothing, it's just that someone entered the temple before us, and that person is a strange old acquaintance....."
"A strange old acquaintance?" Sharon looked puzzled.
Can the words'strange' and 'acquaintance' even be put together?
Steve indicated that of course they could.
Strange, because he had never seen this person in this Universe, nor in the other Universes he had traveled through. The other party was a complete stranger.
Familiar, because in his previous life, when he was still an ordinary person, he really liked this Marvel character.
Humorous, witty, carefree, and fond of awkward dancing—these were all his hallmarks!
And he was the demigod respectfully called 'idiot' by Rhodes, who considered his physique not inferior to Thor's, and who saved the Universe by awkward dancing—Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord!
Of course, Star-Lord, this half-baked demigod, is not like Diana, a true demigod who can arm-wrestle Superman.
Star-Lord's strength is extremely unstable and heavily reliant on equipment.
With his equipment, when in a group, he can exchange blows with Ronan, and even Thanos.
But when fighting solo, he can fight a small soldier from Thanos's Legion to a draw, which is both funny and frustrating....
However, there's no doubt that Star-Lord has great potential and high combat intelligence; he's a good talent.
And currently, the Avengers Agency just happens to be missing a guide who understands the Universe, and he thinks Star-Lord is just right.
Of course, Rocket and the others are also good. Why not package them all up and bring them back to Earth!
Steve's eyes flashed, and he already had a plan. He pulled Sharon, and they vanished from their spot!
Background Music: Doo~ doodoo~ doodoodoo~ doodoo doodoo~ Hey~ Yeah~
Accompanied by the golden oldie in his headphones, Star-Lord danced awkwardly as he moved deeper into the temple.
Steve and Sharon, floating high in the sky and silently watching everything, fell into silence.
After a while, Sharon looked at Star-Lord, who was flailing his arms and legs by himself, and asked uncertainly: "Steve, are you sure he's the interstellar guide you said you wanted to recruit for the Avengers? I feel like he's an idiot....."
Steve was silent for a moment, then nodded silently: "That's right, he is an idiot....."
"But even an idiot has his uses. Come on, let him dance to his heart's content. We'll go get the Power Stone first."
Chapter 243 Sharon: Is he a fool? Steve: Yes...
Without Star-Lord realizing it, Steve and Sharon entered the center of the temple first.
Then, Sharon, with her bare hands, took out the Cosmic Orb, which was the vessel for the Power Stone, from the laser net and smilingly handed it to Steve.
"The last Infinity Stone, I got it for you~"
Steve put his arm around Sharon's waist and kissed her dotingly: "Thank you, my dearest~"
Sharon: (✧◡✧)
After letting go of Sharon, Steve looked at the Cosmic Orb in his hand.
Compared to the other Infinity Stones' vessels, which more or less had some special abilities, the Power Stone's vessel, the Cosmic Orb, was much simpler.
It had no special abilities at all; it was merely a container to restrain the Power Stone's own violent power, a true vessel!
Similarly, compared to the special abilities of the other Infinity Stones, the Power Stone's ability was also simpler: it was the ultimate power!
It controlled and manipulated all power and energy in the Universe, greatly enhancing the user's various abilities, and the Stone itself possessed the most destructive energy!
Of course, all of this was predicated on your body being able to withstand the Power Stone's violent power, otherwise, you would only be torn into cosmic dust by the Power Stone's power...
And those who could physically withstand the Power Stone's existence were very few in the Universe!
But today, by chance, there were two such beings!
And one of them could even handle six Infinity Stones as if they were walnuts, with no problem at all!
Steve directly crushed the Cosmic Orb, revealing the purple Power Stone inside!
The Power Stone's energy, which had not yet reached the Multiversal level, surged into his body, which possessed the power of an entire Universe, yet even the Power Stone's violent energy couldn't cause even a ripple.
Feeling the Power Stone in his hand, which hadn't changed at all, Steve shook his head in disappointment....
Well, it seems the Soul Stone's rapid ascension to the Multiversal level earlier was indeed due to stimulation, and not because the Infinity Stones themselves ascend that quickly. He'll have to try stimulating the Power Stonelater...
But for now, he needed to deal with another matter...
"Hey, sir, madam, would you please raise your hands and kindly place the object in your hands on the ground?"
"Because that thing has already been reserved!"
A rather flippant voice came from behind the two.
Steve and Sharon turned to look at Star-Lord's gun pointed at them, not only showing no fear but even feeling a bit like laughing.
Steve slowly walked towards Star-Lord, smiling: "PeterQuill, or should I call you Star-Lord, right?"
Star-Lord frowned, took two steps back, and cautiously shouted: "You know me? And stop right there, don't come any closer, I'll shoot if you move again!"
Steve didn't stop because of Star-Lord's warning; he continued to walk slowly towards Star-Lord, saying nonchalantly: "Alright, come on, shoot, I bet your gun has no bullets~"
As a child raised by Raiders, Star-Lord naturally wouldn't hesitate like other Super Heroes. Upon hearing this, he immediately pulled the trigger.
Click----
But the next moment, what shot out from Star-Lord's energy gun was not an energy beam, but a series of colorful bubbles!
Star-Lord looked at the muzzle of his gun in confusion: "What the f***?"
Steve leisurely said: "See, I told you your gun had no bullets. I won the bet, didn't I~"
Star-Lord was startled by the voice so close to him. He looked up and found that the other party was already in front of him!
He subconsciously raised his fist to punch the other party, but before his fist could land, he felt his back neck tighten, and his whole body lifted off the ground!
Sharon grabbed Star-Lord by the neck from behind and lifted him, saying coldly: "If you dare to touch a single hair on Steve, I'll crush your neck!"
Feeling the increasing pressure on his neck, Star-Lorddidn't think the woman behind him was bluffing, and quickly raised his hands in surrender ┗( ´ ・∧・` )┛:
"OK, OK, I give up, alright, you can have the Cosmic Orb, I don't want it, alright!"
"I'm with the Raiders! Yondu is my father! You wouldn't want to offend the Raiders!"
Listening to Star-Lord's half-submissive, half-threatening words, An Ran nodded: "Oh, Yondu, I almost forgot about him. He's not bad either. When we pack you two up to go back to Earth later, we'll bring your Smurf foster father along too~"
Star-Lord looked confused: "What pack up to go back to Earth? Where is Earth?"
Steve raised an eyebrow: "The place you were born, don't you remember?"
Star-Lord vehemently denied: "No, no, no, you must be mistaken. I was born in Colorado, not some Earth!"
Steve was speechless. He thought in Avengers 3, Star-Lord was pretending not to know about Earth, but it turned out he really didn't know...
"Colorado is on Earth, you idiot..."
"Alright, I'm not going to waste any more words with you. From now on, you are a member of the Avengers, responsible for educating the other Avengers about the Universe and handling diplomatic issues outside of Earth, understood?"
Star-Lord was even more confused: "Wait, I don't think I agreed to go back to that Earth with you, and why should I join some Avengers and educate a bunch of country bumpkins about the Universe? I'm not doing it!"
To Star-Lord's refusal, Steve merely said calmly: "Because I can resurrect your mother, Meredith Quill, is that enough?"
Those words made Star-Lord's eyes widen, leaving him speechless.
Steve raised an eyebrow: "Still not enough? Then what if I can also help you find your father and give you god-like power?"
Star-Lord's already wide eyes instantly widened even further upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What!!!"
Steve leisurely said: "So, what's your decision, Mr. Star-Lord~"
Star-Lord's heart pounded. In reality, the first condition alone would have made him agree no matter what.
With the addition of the next two conditions, how could he refuse? He was offering too much!
But Star-Lord still maintained a final shred of rationality and questioned:
"But how do I know if what you're saying is true? Not only have I never heard of something as outrageous as resurrecting people in the Universe, but I've been dead for over twenty years now, and only ashes remain. How can I be resurrected?!"
To Star-Lord's distrust, Steve simply extended his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Star-Lord.
Snap~
A six-colored fireworks display lit up at Steve's fingertip, leaving Star-Lord stunned: "What the hell is this, you're setting off fireworks at me? Are you gay and proposing to me?"
Chapter 244 Rocket and Groot
Steve:...
"Look behind you."
At Steve's gesture, Sharon, who had been holding Star-Lord, put him down.
Star-Lord turned around in confusion, only to see a sight that made him freeze.
Beside the violent woman who had lifted him, stood a woman in a floral dress.
A woman Star-Lord would remember through countless nights spent in the vast Universe!
"Mom… Mom!"
Star-Lord recklessly hugged the woman, who was equally bewildered and didn't understand what was happening.
Even though a long time had passed and her son had changed greatly, at the moment of the embrace, Star-Lord's mother still recognized him.
Both shed tears of joy after their reunion.
Then came Star-Lord explaining to his mother who he was, where this was, how much time had passed, and what had happened.
Star-Lord, who was already talkative, suddenly seemed to have endless things to say to his mother, completely forgetting the occasion.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Star-Lord, a group of uninvited guests had already arrived.
"Hey, you, hand over the Cosmic Orb and put it on the ground! It has been reserved by the great Ronan the Accuser!"
The sudden voice from behind made Star-Lord, who was still chattering, freeze.
Why did that sound so familiar?
He seemed to have just said it not long ago!
Star-Lord's first reaction was to shield his mother behind him.
"Hey, calm down, guys, we can talk this over. I'm Star-Lord!"
Ronan's subordinates across from him exchanged glances, and a Kree man looked confused: "Who? Have you heard of him?"
"Never heard of such a person."
The other members of the squad also shook their heads decisively.
This annoyed Star-Lord a bit. He had just told his mother how famous he had become in the Universe, and that the name Star-Lord was known to everyone.
In less than a minute, he was slapped in the face by a few ugly guys. Who could stand that?!
Star-Lord was about to say something to remind them.
But the Kree man didn't want to listen to him anymore and directly raised his gun, aiming it at them:
"Forget it, I don't care who you are. Even if you are from the Nova Corps, you must come with us now. The great Ronan might have questions for you!"
Listening to the Kree man's commanding tone, Steveindicated that he did indeed want to meet Ronan to find out Thanos's location from him, but his tone made Captain very unhappy!
Steve frowned, and Sharon immediately darted out!
The entire squad didn't even see Sharon's Shadow, only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and then their consciousness went completely black!
The one Kree squad now became a room full of Kreesquads.
Steve looked at the completely annihilated Kree squad, splattered all over the walls, and twitched his mouth.
Well, he had originally wanted to ask them for Ronan's coordinates and just open a portal directly, but it seemed that wasn't possible now.
It seemed having an overly efficient girlfriend wasn't necessarily a good thing.
But it didn't matter, he had already sensed the Kreespaceship, and there must be Ronan's coordinates in the spaceship. Coincidentally, they still had the best pilot in the Universe here.
Flying there was the same.
It was a good chance to go out, and he hadn't ridden a spaceship yet.
Steve stroked Sharon's head and praised, "Well done, Sharon, that's exactly what I wanted to do. We really are of one mind~"
Sharon looked happy.
Although it wasn't actually the case, how could Steve, as a man with high emotional intelligence, speak so bluntly?
"Let's go, Quill, take us to Ronan."
Upon hearing this, Star-Lord quickly said:
"Wait, I don't know what you want with that lunatic Ronan. You saved my mother, and whatever you do, I will go with you, but I need to take my mother to a safe place first. She's just an ordinary person, it's too dangerous for her to be with us!"
Steve looked back at him, smiled and said, "I didn't realize you were so filial~"
With that, Steve snapped his fingers, and Star-Lord's mother instantly disappeared.
"Where's my mother?!" Star-Lord exclaimed, a hint of panic on his face.
People aren't afraid of losing something and getting it back, they're afraid of getting it and then losing it again, that's the most painful thing!
Steve said faintly:
"Didn't you say it was unsafe for her to be with us? I sent her back to the Avengers Helicarrier Base on Earth."
"That's the safest place in the entire Universe, and it's also where you'll be working in the future."
Hearing Steve say this, Star-Lord finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, I believe you. As long as you don't let anything happen to my mother again, I can do anything for you, even commit arson, murder, or robbery!"
Steve heard this and smiled, shaking his head:
"Come on, Quill, the Avengers is a Super Heroorganization, not a space pirate organization like the Raiders you used to be with. You need to slowly change your mindset."
"Come with me. Before we go, I'll recruit two more teammates for you."
Steve looked up at the sky, already sensing that another spaceship was about to enter beyond this Planet.
And on it were two people Steve was very familiar with and liked very much, well, they couldn't exactly be called people.
Should he say a raccoon and a tree?
Rocket had just piloted the spaceship into the atmosphere, and the next second, his vision blurred, and the spaceship crashed directly onto the ground with a bang!
This left Rocket completely bewildered, thinking he had accidentally hit the space jump button!
"Holy crap! What are you doing, Groot? Did you press the space jump again? How many times have I told you not to mess with the buttons on the spaceship, do you want to kill us?!"
Rocket's first suspicion naturally fell on Groot, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and he immediately yelled at Groot without question!
Groot poked his fingers aggrievedly: "I am Groot..."
Rocket looked disbelieving: "What, you said you didn't move? There are only two of us in the spaceship, if it wasn't you, could it have been me?"
"Perhaps, it was us?"
Suddenly, a third person's voice came from the spaceship, which had originally only held two people.
Rocket's fur instantly bristled, and he pulled out a gun from somewhere, turning to shoot!
But immediately, Rocket's pupils widened, and the gun in his hand clattered to the ground.
Three people stood in the spaceship, and in front of them stood three animal figures Rocket was incredibly familiar with.
An otter, a walrus, and a rabbit.
Looking at these three transformed animal figures, Rocket's adorable big eyes blurred with tears involuntarily, making everything in front of him seem dreamlike.
He recalled the first time he met Lylla, how she comforted him with her gentle voice, but he hadn't even taken her to see the sky they had promised to see together before she fell in front of him because of him.
He recalled how Floor had clearly said that speaking softly would be very painful after her Transformation, but at the last moment, she had screamed for him to escape with a heartbreaking voice.
He recalled that simple-minded, not-so-talkative, but very proud of his Big Tooth, who often cheered him up when they were locked in cages, and who never stepped out of that Eternal cage even in death.
Scene after scene flashed before Rocket's eyes, memories like a revolving lantern, threatening to take him to another World.
Rocket walked step by step towards his three companions, his voice choked:
"Lylla, Big Tooth, Floor, I'm dreaming, right? I couldn't save you back then, I killed you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Until Lylla came in front of Rocket, hugged him with her two transformed metal arms, and rubbed Rocket's nose with her warm nose:
"Rocket, you're not dreaming, we're back..."
Chapter 245 Drax and Rocket
It wasn't until Rocket felt the warm touch on his nose that he finally believed he wasn't dreaming, and he couldn't help but hug his three little companions!
"Lylla, Teefs, Floor, we'll never be separated again, never again! I'll definitely protect you all from now on!"
"We've always believed in you, Rocket…."
The sight of the four small animals embracing not only made Sharon's eyes red, but also deeply moved Steveand Star-Lord.
Sometimes, the friendship between animals is much purer than that of humans….
Star-Lord looked at Steve and exclaimed, "Boss, are you some kind of dream-granting master sent by God?"
"I have to say, using resurrection to recruit team members is simply invincible; no one can refuse it…."
Steve shook his head indifferently, "God? He's not even fit to carry my shoes."
"These are just small tricks. Resurrecting family members is just one of the benefits for my employees, and there will be many more advantages in the future."
Upon hearing this, Star-Lord couldn't help but give Stevea thumbs-up for his showboating: "No wonder you're the boss; you're the one who knows how to show off!"
After the two of them chatted for a bit, Rocket learned from his three companions that it was the most handsome man among the three people opposite who had resurrected his little companions.
Therefore, Rocket brought his three companions over, and without another word, he patted his chest:
"Handsome man, I don't know how you resurrected Lylla and them, but from today on, my life, Rocket's life, is yours. If you tell me to kill, I will never set Fire; if you tell me to go East, I will never go West!"
Steve smiled upon hearing this, very satisfied with Rocket's self-awareness, and reached out to stroke his furry head.
If anyone else had touched him, Rocket would have cut off their hand, but this was the savior of his companions, so Rocket decided to endure it!
But the next moment, Rocket felt himself become different.
All the painful side effects from the High Evolutionary's modifications disappeared, and the modified chip on his back fell off!
The other three companions were also the same; as Stevebrushed their heads, all the mechanical legs and arms on their bodies began to fall off, and flesh-and-blood limbs regrew, transforming them into bipedal animals similar to Rocket.
Their intelligence remained their modified intelligence, but their bodies returned to normal flesh-and-blood forms, not half-flesh, half-machine bodies!
Floor, the rabbit, felt it especially clearly; she happily pulled Rocket, hopping and spinning in circles:
"Rocket, Rocket, it doesn't hurt when I talk now, it doesn't hurt when I talk, I'm so happy, I'm so happy!"
Upon hearing this, Rocket was even happier that his companions could walk and talk normally, more so than the genetic defects on his own body being mended.
If Steve could see loyalty levels.
He would find that Rocket's loyalty to him had already reached 100%!
Once the few little ones finally calmed down a bit from their joy, Steve smiled:
"From today on, you five are also members of the Avengers. For now, form a small team with Quill. Since you're responsible for interstellar issues, let's call it the Guardians of the Galaxy. How does that sound?"
Star-Lord, Rocket, and the others had no objections to the name; in fact, they even felt a bit of familiarity with it, so they unanimously approved.
Since the three original members of the Guardians of the Galaxy were already gathered, Steve also became interested and decided to simply gather the entire team!
"You stay put; I'm going to pick up the next tank for your team."
Steve opened a Space Door inside Rocket's spaceship.
He stepped through it.
On the other side of the door was a series of prison cells.
Inside sat a burly man with grayish skin covered in blood-red, flame-like tattoos!
His name was: Drax the Destroyer!
Steve beckoned to Drax the Destroyer:
"Drax the Destroyer, you've been recruited. Come with me."
Drax the Destroyer looked at the man speaking to him in a commanding tone, laughed loudly, pulled out the iron bunk bed from under his butt, and was about to give the other party a hard time!
"Who do you think you are? I am a Destroyer! I will not submit to anyone!"
Steve smiled faintly, snapped his fingers, and the iron bed held by Drax the Destroyer transformed into two women, one large and one small, with similarly grayish skin but no flame tattoos.
Drax the Destroyer was stunned and instinctively let go, causing the two women he was holding to fall to the Floor.
This made Steve's mouth twitch; he truly lived up to Marvel's official certification as a guy with an IQ of only 2.
Upon seeing his wife and daughter for the first time, he didn't even react immediately and just let them fall to the Floor….
It wasn't until the two women on the Floor called out Drax the Destroyer's original name:
"Arthur…."
"Father…."
Next, it was the familiar grand reunion, the hamburger-wrapping session.
Drax the Destroyer's long-standing emotional knot, his wife and daughter who had been killed by Ronan, came back to life. Needless to say, Drax the Destroyersubmitted to Steve and joined the Guardians of the Galaxy team.
After also teleporting Drax the Destroyer's wife and daughter to the Avengers Air-Space Base.
Steve directly broke out of the Nova Corps' Kree prison with Drax the Destroyer.
After returning to Rocket's spaceship with Drax the Destroyer, Steve did not go to fulfill the dreams of the other Guardians of the Galaxy members.
Instead, after putting away Rocket's beat-up spaceship, he went into the Kree team's spaceship.
Rocket indeed found Ronan's location information in the spaceship.
Steve simply let Rocket pilot this spaceship to Ronan's location.
After several Space Jumps, they quickly arrived at Ronan's fleet's location.
It was a square warship no smaller than Thanos's Sanctuary II.
Because Steve and his team were piloting a Kreespaceship, they easily entered it.
After entering, Star-Lord stealthily got off the spaceship, cautiously looking around the cabin, and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, we're in now. What's the plan?"
Steve glanced sideways at Star-Lord: "Plan? What plan?"
Rocket directly pulled the gun bolt, grinning: "Heh heh, I think the boss must have a grudge with Ronan. If you ask me, I'll just make a super bomb and blow this place to smithereens!"
Upon hearing this, Drax the Destroyer stood in front of Rocket and said seriously:
"No, I must tear Ronan apart with my own hands. You can't just conveniently blow him up, you dead rat!"
Rocket's fur immediately bristled, and he pointed his gun at Drax the Destroyer: "Who the hell are you calling a dead rat? Do you believe I'll blow your turtle head off with one shot!"
Drax the Destroyer was also stubborn and roared: "You are a dead rat! On my Planet, when we were kids, we used to roast and eat rats like you over Fire. If you're not a dead rat, what are you?!"
Chapter 246 Gamora and Nebula
Rocket, already enraged, became even more furious and was about to pull the trigger!
However, he was fortunately stopped by his three companions, who pulled him back and advised him not to act impulsively.
But Rocket still struggled and roared:
"Fuck! Don't stop me, I'm going to kill this son of a bitch, I'm going to finish him off, let this turtle-headed guy know what happens when a rat is cornered!"
Now Drax the Destroyer also got agitated and roared:
"You are too rude, you rat, you actually called me a turtle head, I will tear your messy fur!"
At this point, Star-Lord also had no choice but to stop Drax the Destroyer, telling him not to be impulsive.
Steve looked at this scene, rubbing his forehead in a headache.
Although in the movies, watching the Guardians of the Galaxy bicker seemed quite interesting.
But when they actually started arguing in front of him, the annoyance was truly no less than when Tony, Little Spider, and Deadpool gathered to bicker!
And their bickering, of course, not only caused Steve's headache but also attracted the attention of the Kree.
You know, this was inside their battleship!
Listening to the approaching footsteps, Star-Lord made a shushing gesture:
"Quiet, listen, it sounds like a lot of footsteps are approaching?"
"Damn it! Your arguing attracted Ronan's people!"
"Now our infiltration will turn into a forced entry!"
Facing Star-Lord's anger, the two who were arguing showed one disdain and one surprise.
Drax the Destroyer shouted in surprise: "What?! You said Ronan is here too!"
Upon hearing this, Rocket couldn't help but mock: "Heh, you idiot, you've come all this way and don't even know our destination. Your intelligence truly doesn't insult your idiotic appearance!"
However, Drax the Destroyer could no longer care about Rocket's taunts. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and charged wildly towards the newly arrived Kreesoldiers.
As he charged, he yelled, "Ronan, where are you? I'm going to kill you and avenge my wife and daughter!"
As the tank of the Guardians of the Galaxy, even though Drax the Destroyer seemed foolish, his strength and defense were truly impressive!
He actually endured the Kree energy gun fire, rushed over, and took down one after another. A squad of over a dozen people was dealt with in less than a minute!
Drax the Destroyer, covered in blue Kree blood, roared to the sky, "Bring on some more, you cowards!" (Is that all you've got?!)
Then, the next moment, more dense footsteps came from the two passages on either side of the hangar.
An endless stream of Kree soldiers, led by two women, one blue and one green, surrounded them!
Drax the Destroyer swallowed, then turned to everyone with a stiff smile: "Don't be afraid, I can hold them off!"
No sooner had Drax the Destroyer spoken than Nebula's right arm split open, transforming into a large electromagnetic gun barrel, aimed at Drax the Destroyer.
Seeing this, Star-Lord gasped, instinctively taking a step back and shielding Steve in front of him, whispering:
"Drax the Destroyer can't hold them off, that's a negative energy electromagnetic cannon, absolutely no one can withstand it!"
No one?
I don't think so...
Steve, oblivious to being in the center of the encirclement, slowly walked towards Nebula step by step.
Seeing that the tank was gone, Star-Lord quickly moved sideways, hiding behind Sharon, the second strongest person present.
Sharon looked back disdainfully at the idiot who had been awkwardly dancing by himself earlier, and also walked forward.
Star-Lord awkwardly looked at Groot.
Now, only Groot's tall stature seemed to offer some sense of security.
Groot also looked at Star-Lord, giving him a very gentle smile.
This smile instantly filled Star-Lord with a sense of security.
But the peace lasted less than two seconds before Rocket's voice came.
"Hey, Groot, hurry up and follow the boss, don't stay with the idiot, be careful you don't catch his stupidity!"
Star-Lord:???
Rocket, along with his three companions and Groot, mercilessly abandoned Star-Lord where he stood.
"What a bunch of unorganized guys..." Star-Lord, with no other choice, could only follow, standing in a line behind Steve with Rocket and the others.
Nebula shifted her gun barrel from Drax the Destroyer to Steve, who was clearly the leader, and demanded, "Who are you?"
Finally, Star-Lord cautiously poked his head out and said to Nebula, "We are the Guardians of the Galaxy. We just came up with this name today, how about it?"
Steve, however, had no intention of answering Nebula's question, instead openly scrutinizing her body.
"Tsk tsk, eighty percent of her body has been modified into machinery, truly miserable!"
"You're asking for death!" Stung by the accurate jab, Nebula's face twisted, and she fired the negative energy electromagnetic cannon in her hand without hesitation!
But Nebula's gun barrel only flickered a few times, without shooting anything out, just like a man after forty.
Steve tapped the gun barrel in front of him and laughed, "What, can't shoot it out? Is it a dud?"
Nebula's face was filled with disbelief: "This is an electromagnetic arm personally modified by My Lord, it's indestructible and incorporates advanced technology, how could it be a dud?!"
"Indestructible?" Steve raised an eyebrow and pointed his finger at the gun barrel.
"What are you going to do..."
Bang----
Boom------
Before Nebula could finish her sentence, Steve's bent finger had already flicked out, blasting Nebula's entire right side of her body into shattered pieces!
And the Impact from Steve's fingertip didn't stop, it also blasted a large hole, over ten meters wide, through the steel deck of Ronan's battleship behind Nebula!
If this battleship wasn't big enough, it would have crashed with just that one blow!
Meanwhile, Gamora, seeing Nebula's body blasted in half, immediately gasped in shock, instinctively raising her gun towards Steve, intending to attack him.
However, just as Gamora raised her gun, a blonde woman suddenly appeared in front of her, reaching out and crushing the gun in her hand!
Gamora's pupils sharply contracted. She rolled backward, moving away from the blonde woman, and at the same time, commanded her subordinates behind her: "Damn it, hurry up and kill them, save Nebula!"
Sharon opened her palm, letting the gun fragments fall to the ground, and sneered disdainfully at Gamora:
"Before these scraps hit the ground, not a single one of your subordinates will be left!"
With that, Sharon lightly scattered the remaining fragments in her hand into the air, then transformed into an afterimage and vanished!
Gamora discovered in horror that afterimages were constantly flashing around her, moving so fast that she could only see the sonic booms of air being torn apart! (For details, refer to Zack Snyder's Flash saving people, except Sharon was killing people)
In less than five seconds, Sharon returned to her original spot, and the last particle of debris in the air just happened to fall to the ground at that moment.
And the hundreds of Skrulls in the hangar had all become motionless.
Then Sharon extended her hand and, imitating Steve's usual manner, snapped her fingers.
Click—
Boom boom boom-------
The next moment, countless explosions of flesh sounded, and hundreds of Kree soldiers turned into blue blood and flesh fireworks!
Chapter 247 The Guardians of the Galaxy are assembled!
Gamora was stunned.
Cheater! He's a cheater!
What the hell was that speed? How was she supposed to fight him now?!
The answer was: she couldn't.
Sharon flickered and appeared in front of Gamora, grabbing her by the neck and lifting her up.
With just a little more force, Gamora's neck would be crushed like clay!
However, Sharon didn't do that. Instead, she brought Gamora over to Steve and threw her next to Nebula, who was only half a body left.
Gamora quickly rolled to her feet, hugged the heavily injured Nebula, and pulled out her knife, watching everyone warily.
Sharon scoffed, "Stop your useless struggles. If Stevewanted to kill you and that blue elf, you'd both be dead eight hundred times over!"
Sharon, who was in sync with Steve's thoughts, knew that Steve had the intention of recruiting people again when he only shattered half of Nebula's body instead of directly killing her.
Why say 'again'?
Perhaps Steve had recruited too many people recently.
After being promoted to Captain Marvel, Sharon's senses had become much sharper.
She could smell that when Steve returned this time, besides Wanda, there were several other women's scents...
Regarding this, Sharon, who had experienced Steve's prowess, actually didn't have much of an opinion.
But what she did mind was whether Steve's taste had recently veered towards the exotic.
Could he really go for blue and green ones?
And the blue one was even bald...
Steve didn't know about Sharon's wild thoughts.
He looked at Gamora and Nebula and said indifferently, "I'll give you two sisters a choice: join our Guardians of the Galaxy, or be buried with Ronan and Thanos."
Gamora and Nebula were startled, "You're going to kill Thanos?!"
The two looked at each other, and at the same time, they read one meaning in each other's eyes.
If these few people had such strength, it might really be possible!
Don't be fooled by Nebula usually appearing to be the most loyal to Thanos.
But when she truly encountered an opportunity to kill Thanos, the first to betray and want to kill Thanos would be Nebula herself!
The pain of countless body modifications meant Nebula's hatred for Thanos was unimaginable to ordinary people!
Nebula, despite her severe injuries, struggled to crawl towards Steve like a zombie, gritting her teeth and saying,
"As long as you can kill Thanos, my life is yours. You can make me do anything!"
"Good girl ~" Steve smiled faintly, reaching out to gently stroke Nebula's blue bald head.
The next moment, something miraculous happened.
Nebula's originally bald head actually began to grow golden hair!
And from her head downwards, her blue mechanical body gradually transformed into the fair, rosy skin of a normal White person!
No, it wasn't just the color!
Nebula could feel that her physical sensations, which she had lost for over a decade, were gradually returning at this moment!
When the half of her body that was missing recovered, Nebula raised her hands and looked at her normal flesh-and-blood fingers, feeling a moment of trance.
It was like a dream!
"I... I've recovered?"
Steve extended a finger and hooked Nebula's now beautiful face.
Tsk ~
I have to say, Nebula's human form is really pretty! (The female lead in the game World of Jumanji)
What kind of ghost did that guy Thanos turn her into!
Everyone else tries to make people prettier, but Thanosmakes people look exotic!
No wonder Nebula hated Thanos so much!
If someone disfigured you, wouldn't you hate them?
Nebula's transformation made Sharon's eyes narrow. She hadn't expected the blue elf's looks after recovery to be no less than her own!
Then Sharon looked at the equally stunned Gamora, thinking, this female goblin, she wouldn't also be able to recover into a normal beauty, would she!
Star-Lord, who was at the very back, saw the beautiful woman and immediately pushed Rocket and Drax aside, examining Nebula and exclaiming,
"Wow, Master is truly a divine Doctor. If you were to become a plastic surgeon, all the plastic surgeons in the entire Universe would probably lose their jobs!"
Then Star-Lord smiled a little sheepishly and extended his head towards Steve:
"Um... Master, you see, you just touched her, and she went from a bald robot to a golden-haired beauty. Could you touch me too? I don't ask to be perfect, just give me an eight-pack, make me ten centimeters taller, and finally give me a handsome face like Kevin Bacon ~"
Steve's mouth twitched when he heard that!
He had seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless!
And 'that's it'?
Are you treating me like a wish-granting machine here?!
Steve gave Star-Lord a sideways glance and slapped him flying, landing right in front of Gamora, saying mercilessly,
"You're dreaming! I only restored Nebula to her original appearance. You, like Gamora, are inherently this grotesque, and that can't be changed!"
Of course, that was a lie ~
Steve, with the Six Stones, could certainly change such a thing.
But Steve thought Star-Lord, as the comic relief, was more pleasing to the eye being a bit plump ~
Let Thor be the tough guy; Star-Lord can continue to be the guy who's just one bowl of rice away from being obese ~
Before Star-Lord could beg again, Steve looked at Gamora:
"Your sister has already seen the light. What's your decision, Gamora?"
Gamora snapped out of her shock at Nebula's recovery and clenched her fists:
"If you can let me kill Thanos with my own hands to avenge my parents, I will also agree to join you!"
Steve looked Gamora up and down, scoffing at her overestimation of herself, "You? It's not that I'm looking down on you, but even if Thanos stood there and let you hack at him, you might not be able to kill him through that thick Titan hide."
"However, I can let you witness Thanos die before your eyes. As for your deceased parents, that's not difficult at all..."
You know, Steve is now the Marvel Dream-Weaver!
Snap —
With a snap of his fingers, two green-skinned men and women appeared beside Gamora.
Even after more than twenty years, Nebula recognized her parents at a glance.
Then came hugs, tears, explanations, and submission.
Gamora successfully joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.
At this point, the first generation of Guardians of the Galaxy was officially assembled.
As for that fool Adam...
He probably hadn't even been created yet, so let's ignore him for now.
[Self-destruct sequence initiated, countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
Everyone:???
Gamora and Nebula were the first to react: "Damn it, Ronan must have been monitoring the situation here. Seeing things go wrong, he activated the mothership's self-destruct sequence!"
"We need to leave quickly! This mothership is equipped with a star-destroying weapon. After it explodes, even a star can't withstand it!"
Steve was originally indifferent to the self-destruct; that much power wasn't even worthy of washing his face!
"Equipped with a star-destroying weapon?"
But hearing'star-destroying weapon' piqued his interest.
Earth doesn't have a star-destroying weapon yet. It would be good to take it back for Tony to research and make one!
When in doubt, a snap will solve it!
Snap, and the self-destruct was aborted!
[Self-destruct sequence stopped, control transfer in progress. Welcome, Steve Rogers, you have become the new Master of the mothership.]
Chapter 248: Desperate Ronan, the Fool Drax
Gamora, Nebula:???
There's even such a brazen move?
They can even seize control of a mothership whose terminal is the Supreme Intelligence?
Doesn't that mean, if they wanted to, they could even control the Kree Empire's Supreme Intelligence?
The two sisters exchanged a look, both gasping in shock!
They read the same meaning in each other's eyes: Terrifying!
This also made them even more firmly believe that the other party could really kill Thanos!
"Master, I have closed Ronan the Accuser's escape pod. He is currently in Zone A3. His strength is formidable, and I cannot hold him back for too long!"
As everyone was shocked, the mothership's AI, whose control had been seized, suddenly spoke again, informing Steve of Ronan's location!
Hearing Ronan's name, Drax, who had just barely calmed down, had the blood-red flame tattoos on his body boil, shouting about revenge, tearing apart, family, and so on, as he sprinted towards the mothership's right passage.
In just a blink of an eye, he was gone.
At this moment, the intelligent assistant spoke:
"Master, Zone A3 is in the left passage. I will guide you…"
As the voice fell, the intelligent assistant marked a holographic guide route, like in a game, in front of Steve.
Star-Lord looked at the guide route, then at Drax, who had already vanished to the right, and his mouth twitched:
"Um… Boss, it looks like Drax ran the wrong way…"
Steve said indifferently, "All roads lead to Rome. Don't worry, he'll find us eventually."
"Now, let us go meet one of the Kree Empire's strongest existences, Ronan the Accuser!"
With that, Steve took the lead and followed the guide line.
The others, hearing this, no longer bothered with the foolish Drax and followed Steve to the left.
Zone A3, escape pod area.
At this moment, countless thudding sounds of hammering on doors could be heard!
Large numbers of Kree were trapped in stalled escape pods, unable to escape or get out!
And the only one who had hope of getting out was Ronan, wearing an ill-fitting armor and with a black totem like feces painted on his blue face!
He threw a few punches, and the escape pod, which could withstand spaceship fire, was actually smashed by his punches!
Ronan stepped out of the escape pod with a gloomy look, glanced at his subordinates who were also trapped around him, and roared angrily:
"Terminal, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to activate the self-destruct program and blow this place up after we evacuated?!"
"Why was the self-destruct program terminated, and why are we trapped here?!"
The mothership's terminal was controlled by the Supreme Intelligence, so Ronan never thought that control had been seized; he only thought there was an unknown error in the program!
However, Ronan was yelling, but the intelligent assistant completely ignored him!
Amidst the thudding sounds of the surrounding Kreesoldiers smashing escape pods, Ronan suddenly heard footsteps!
Then a strange voice sounded:
"Perhaps, this mothership doesn't want to be buried in this star sea because of your foolish decision~"
"It just wants to live. What's wrong with that?"
Hearing this mocking voice, Ronan suddenly looked towards the exit!
Click—
The airlock opened, and a tall, blonde figure slowly emerged from the mist.
Ronan's pupils contracted, and his hair stood on end: "It's you! The ones who invaded my mothership!"
Although Steve was walking in front, Ronan's gaze was fixed on Sharon behind Steve!
In the control room, Ronan had personally witnessed his dispatched squad, and a team of hundreds, being easily dealt with by these few people!
And Ronan saw in the woman who had killed hundreds of his subordinates the shadow of another woman that even the Kree Empire was wary of!
Captain Marvel, Carol!
He recalled that year, he received a distress call from Rogge and brought people to Earth for support.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he brought people above Earth, a square-faced woman glowing with colorful light shot up into the sky, smashing several of his spaceships!
Then she hovered in front of his mothership, and with just one look, Ronan knew he had provoked someone he couldn't afford to provoke!
So today, when Ronan saw this familiar scene again, he chose to self-destruct his mothership without hesitation!
He just wanted to blow up this terrifying woman!
One Captain Marvel was enough to give the Kree Empirea headache.
The Kree Empire could no longer bear another enemy like Captain Marvel!
Thinking of this, Ronan's eyes suddenly became firm again!
That's right, as one of the Kree Empire's supreme commanders, Ronan felt it was necessary for him to solve this problem for the Kree Empire!
Even if he might die, he had to at least take the other party with him!
Ronan reached out, and a long-handled hammer flew from the escape pod he was previously in into his hand!
Then Ronan pointed the hammerhead at Sharon and shouted his classic line: "Pizza Hut, must!" (Translation: You will receive salvation!)
Sharon had just wiped out hundreds of people and had originally planned to stop.
But she didn't expect the other party to not target the obvious leader, Steve, but instead came for her!
Do I look that much like a softie?
Sharon gave a cold smile, her eyes glowing with golden light, and raised her glowing fist!
If this punch doesn't make you vomit your overnight meal, I'll take Steve's surname!
Sharon's feet left the ground, ready to act!
But suddenly… Boom!!!
With a loud bang, a large hole appeared in the right side of the ship's wall!
From the smoke and dust, Drax jumped out!
As soon as he saw Ronan, he excitedly pulled out his dagger again, shouting about family, revenge, tearing apart, and so on, and rushed towards Ronan!
This sudden scene made Ronan a little bewildered!
"Where did this idiot come from?"
Ronan looked at Drax in surprise, swung his hammer, and sent Drax flying, right into the large hole Drax had crashed through!
Ronan frowned, and his hammer pointed at Steve and the others again:
"You are truly despicable. You're already so strong, yet you still play dirty tricks with such a loud commotion!"
Steve and the others: ...
Can we say we don't know this guy…
As expected of the Guardians of the Galaxy's second comedian, it's just too embarrassing…
Gamora and Nebula exchanged a look, and again read the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Are these our future teammates? Who understands? The sky has fallen, sisters…
Steve sighed, covered his forehead, and slowly said:
"I don't want it to be rumored that the Guardians of the Galaxy's first battle had such a stupid member, so let's silence him…"
Star-Lord was stunned, scanned the surrounding escape pods, where there were at least tens of thousands of Kreesoldiers, and swallowed:
"All…all of them?"
Steve looked at Star-Lord indifferently: "All of them. If you make me say it a third time, I'll silence you too."
Chapter 249 Ronan dies, what happens to Thanos?
Hearing Steve's words, Star-Lord immediately shivered!
Meanwhile, Rocket was already distributing weapons to his three little companions.
Each of them received a large machine gun.
"Lylla, Floor, Teefs, there are so many ready-made targets here, I'll teach you how to shoot!"
"Watch closely, it's really fun!"
With that, Rocket raised his gun, aimed at the life pods in front, and pulled the trigger!
Bang bang bang ——————
"Ah hahahahaha! Die! All of you, die for this daddy! Wahahahahaha!!"
While firing, Rocket also let out a sinister laugh amidst the Fire!
His three little companions looked at Rocket's crazy behavior and exchanged glances.
Teefs, the seal, scratched his head in confusion: "Do you have to yell like Rocket when you shoot?"
Lylla stroked her chin, sagely saying: "I think so. Rocketmust have his reasons for doing that!"
Floor bounced excitedly: "Yay! Yell! Floor doesn't hurt now, Floor likes to yell!"
With that, the three little ones raised their guns together, and just like Rocket, they pulled the trigger while laughing maniacally!
"Ah hahahaha, die, all of you die!!!"
At that moment, the entire escape pod area echoed with the crazy laughter of the four animals!
If an ordinary Earthling had witnessed this bizarre scene, they would likely have fainted on the spot!
Groot, seeing that Rocket, who usually called him for everything, hadn't called him this time, couldn't help but feel a little angry!
"I am Groot!!!"
With a roar, countless sharp vines shot out from Groot's body, piercing through the escape pods one by one!
And Gamora and Nebula, in order to have Steve kill Thanos and avenge themselves, also joined the ranks of slaughtering the Kree!
However, since Steve had transformed Nebula's mechanical body back into flesh, she could only personally pick up a gun and shoot!
But this not only didn't inconvenience Nebula, it made her smile even more happily than Rocket and his three companions!
Because this was the true sensation she hadn't felt in over a decade!
Nebula couldn't help but glance at Steve, her eyes filled with an inexplicable emotion...
Seeing this scene, Sharon felt her fists clench again!
"What a bunch of tactless guys...."
Finally, Star-Lord, watching the others blindly shooting, shook his head helplessly.
He raised his twin guns, aimed at the oxygen storage locations of the escape pods one by one, and pulled the trigger.
Compared to the others who simply blew up the escape pods, Star-Lord's precise single shots were actually more efficient!
However, the most efficient wasn't even Star-Lord, but Sharon!
Sharon clapped her fists together, and a colorful light shone on her fists, then two unparalleled beams of light shot out from her two fists, sweeping away large groups of Kree who died screaming in their escape pods!
As for Drax the Destroyer, he was sleeping soundly.....
Finally, only Steve and Ronan the Accuser remained.
Ronan the Accuser completely disregarded the lives of his subordinates, raising his long hammer: "It is your honor, Earthling, to die in a duel with the Kree Empire's strongest warrior, Ronan the Accuser!"
A duel?
Steve scoffed.
Who gave you the illusion that you could duel me?
Was he too gentle recently, causing his aura to be too soft?
Steve appeared in front of Ronan the Accuser in one step, opened his five fingers, grabbed his face, and lifted him up.
A flash of yellow light.
All the information in Ronan the Accuser's mind was grasped by Steve.
Including Thanos's location, and the location of the Supreme Intelligence.
After reading Ronan the Accuser's memories, Steve didn't even give him an extra glance.
Like crushing an ant, he crushed Ronan the Accuser's head.
Casually shaking off the brain matter from his hand, Steveused his toe to pick up Ronan the Accuser's long hammer and stored it in his personal space.
Collectible + 1
And at this moment, because of Sharon's sweeping attacks, over ten thousand Kree soldiers had all been burned into charred corpses!
Then, Steve didn't waste any time, opening another spatial gate and saying faintly:
"Let's go, final stop, where Thanos is."
Gamora and Nebula, hearing this, eagerly entered first.
Drax the Destroyer, who had been in a baby-like sleep, suddenly sprang up, roaring about revenge, family, tearing apart, and so on, and rushed into the spatial gate!
Rocket and his companions, each carrying a gun, excitedly walked into the portal.
"Rocket, Rocket, shooting is really fun, we haven't had enough yet, can we play again later?"
"Of course, follow me, there will be plenty of opportunities to shoot in the future, we're going to fight an even bigger guy now!"
"Yay, yay, Rocket is the best!"
"I am Groot!"
...
The Rocket, four animals, and one tree combination, chattering and noisy as if going on vacation, disappeared into the portal with a light and cheerful aura.
"That's Thanos, the Tyrant of the Universe, and they just went in so carelessly, what a bunch of guys with no tactics...."
Star-Lord helplessly massaged his forehead, looking as if he didn't want to enter.
But Steve wasn't going to indulge him; he directly gave Star-Lord a left front kick to his butt, sending him flying in!
Once the Guardians of the Galaxy had all entered, Stevewaved his hand and put away the massive Universemothership.
Then he and Sharon entered the portal together.
As Steve and Sharon stepped through the portal, they suddenly raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
As far as the eye could see, it was all ruins.
And on the ruins, apart from the Guardians of the Galaxy, there were only corpses!
Among them were the Black Order, and a large number of corpses from Thanos's Legion!
This definitely wasn't done by the Guardians of the Galaxy.
They didn't have the capability, nor the speed.
So what exactly happened?
A hint of curiosity flashed in Steve's eyes.
Thanos, to him now, was easily defeated.
But he wasn't someone just anyone could handle.
The one who could completely wipe out Thanos's Legionmust be quite powerful....
It's better to see than to imagine.
Steve's mind stirred, activating the power of the Infinity Stones.
The next second, the surrounding corpses moved, as if in reverse, turning from dead bodies back to life.
But it was in reverse!
Because this was just Steve using the Time Stone to view past events.
He wasn't a saint; he didn't even want to revive Thanos's Legion.
He just wanted to know what happened.
The surroundings constantly rewound rapidly like a slideshow.
Finally, it stopped seven days ago.
Seven days ago, on Planet Titan.
The Universe's family planning director, along with his several secretaries, had been working hard all day, annihilating half the life on a Planet, and finally thought they could go home and rest.
But Thanos's battleship had just reached the skies above Titan when it was shot down by a handsome man in golden hair and golden clothes!
Thanos and his subordinates escaped from the crashed battleship, looking bewildered.
Before they could even catch their breath.
A woman wrapped in a scarlet glow floated towards him like a ghost!
She even used that eerie red light to hoist him up, spouting nonsense about him killing her lover and wanting revenge!
Thanos prided himself on having killed countless people, but he had no recollection of ever killing the man of such a terrifying madwoman!
Chapter 250 Doomsday, the multiverse war begins!
Moreover, this woman was so powerful that Thanos, who was known for his strength, couldn't even struggle!
He could only watch as another blonde man slaughtered his subordinates!
Just as Thanos felt he was about to die before achieving his goal, before he could collect all the Infinity Stones, eliminate half of the life in the Universe, and balance the Universe's resources, he was about to die with regret.
A vicissitudes of life voice sounded, pulling Thanos back from the embrace of Death.
"Wanda, let him go, he's still useful..."
From a verdant spatial passage, a green-robed figure and a red-skinned figure emerged.
The person with red skin, wearing a dark green battle suit and a yellow cape, or rather, a half-cyborg, was none other than Vision, who did not exist in this Universe!
And the mysterious green-robed figure was...
The green robe and cape were thrown open by the You-Know-Who, revealing 'Tony' in a nanotech suit!
And on the back of 'Tony's' right hand, three Infinity Stones were embedded!
They were the Power Stone, the Space Stone, and the Time Stone!
'Tony' looked at Thanos, who was kneeling on one knee and panting after Wanda released him, and said indifferently:
"Thanos, in another Universe, you once told me that I wasn't the only one cursed by knowledge..."
"Now, as fellow sufferers of the curse of knowledge, I invite you to join our 'Doomsday' and complete the great undertaking together..."
'Tony' extended his hand, embedded with the three Stones, towards Thanos.
Thanos stood up from his kneeling position, his face grim as he looked at this strange fellow across from him.
Being intelligent, he had already guessed from the other party's few words, coupled with the crazy woman's previous statement, that these people were not from this Universe.
"You call yourselves Doomsday? Whose Doomsday are you, man's, or God's?"
"And what is this great undertaking you speak of?"
Facing Thanos's questions, 'Tony's' face was unperturbed, his eyes filled with indifference:
"Not just one person's, but everyone's, regardless of poverty or wealth, regardless of race, we are everyone's Doomsday!"
Thanos was absolutely not someone who could be conquered by force, but 'Tony's' words resonated with him, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
Their starting point and temperament were similar!
But Thanos still decided to confirm whether the other party's ultimate goal was consistent with his own.
"I suppose your ultimate goal isn't merely to destroy all life, is it?"
'Tony' heard this, a trace of deep-seated hatred flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly:
"Of course not, I just want fairness, balance, a perfect World without war, without invasion, without famine!"
"Thanos, my World, like your Titan, was destroyed because of these things, so we are on the same path."
"And our goal is to restore balance to the Universe, but what I want is not just one Universe, but the balance of the entire Multiverse!!"
"So join us, become the fifth member of our Doomsday, the Tyrant of Power!"
As the last sentence fell, 'Tony' unhesitatingly detached the purple Power Stone from the back of his right hand and handed it to Thanos.
At the same time, the three people floating behind 'Tony' also glowed with the different colors of the Infinity Stones!
Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff wore a Reality Stonependant around her neck, and the power of Chaos Magiccombined with the Reality Stone created an effect far greater than 1+1!
The Mind Stone on Vision's forehead shone, granting him numerous strange abilities, and combined with his Vibranium body, he was like a Marvel version of Superman!
Sentinel Robert Reynolds had the Soul Stone embedded in his chest, which could suppress the Void personality within him, allowing him to fully utilize his power of a million stars without worrying about losing control!
Feeling the overwhelming aura of these individuals, even Thanos felt a sense of suffocation.
If it were these people, perhaps they could truly achieve the dream he had never been able to accomplish, or even exceed it!
From achieving balance in this Universe to achieving balance in the entire Multiverse!
Thanos's eyes flashed, and he took the Power Stone that 'Tony' handed him.
Thus, the fifth member of Doomsday, the Tyrant of Power, appeared!
'Tony' finally showed his first smile: "A wise choice, let's go, my partner, let's find the last and most crucial member of our Doomsday..."
Saying that, 'Tony' suddenly glanced in Steve's direction, revealing a mysterious smile, as if he saw the future Steveacross time!
The green spatial passage opened again, and 'Tony' left this Universe with his four Doomsday Knights!
The time scene ended, and the surroundings returned to an environment of dead bodies.
Steve felt that there was no trace of Thanos, or even those few people, in this Universe anymore, and a mysterious smile also appeared on his lips:
"Interesting, is the Multiverse War that Loki spoke of about to begin...?"
The Guardians of the Galaxy were completely bewildered, having no idea what had just happened!
Among those people, they didn't even recognize a single one besides Thanos!
Sharon was a bit better, recognizing two of them.
That is, Wanda and Tony.
But this made Sharon even more curious.
Seven days ago, at this time, Wanda and Tony should have been on Earth!
Moreover, one was Steve's lover, and the other was Steve's grand-nephew, both members of the Avengers, so why would they form a new Doomsday?
It was a headache to think about, so Sharon simply stopped thinking about it herself.
"Steve, what just happened? How did Tony come here to recruit Thanos?"
"Why was Wanda shouting about avenging her lover when you're not even dead...?"
"And aren't all the Infinity Stones in your hands? How could they have the other six Infinity Stones?"
Ever since she had been with Steve, Sharon had gotten used to asking Steve when she was with him and couldn't decide what to do.
Facing Sharon's three consecutive questions, Steve shook his head faintly: "No, that wasn't Tony, just an imposter wearing his face..."
"That wasn't my Wanda either, and the lover she spoke of wasn't me..."
"Those people, except for Thanos, aren't even from our Universe..."
Sharon and the Guardians of the Galaxy were startled: "What do you mean, not from our Universe?!"
Steve didn't answer the question, but instead waved his hand to open a spatial portal to Earth.
"I didn't want to tell you this heavy news so soon, but it seems some people are getting impatient and choosing to speed things up..."
"So come on, let's go back to Earth now, we need to get ready..."
They all said in unison: "Ready for what?"
Steve stood in front of the spatial portal, turned his head, and said in a deep voice: "The Multiverse War!"
Chapter 251 Five girlfriends gathered together, Shura field?
With that, Steve stepped through the spatial portal and arrived in the largest conference room of the AvengersSky-Air Base.
And in the conference room, there was not just one spatial portal, but several on each side of the long conference table.
Figures stepped through the portals one by one, arriving in the conference room with puzzled expressions.
At the head of the long conference table, Steve was already seated quietly, and he said lightly:
"Sit."
Tony, who emerged from a portal on the left, heard this and unhesitatingly took the first seat to Steve's left.
Hela, who emerged from a portal on the right, took the first seat to Steve's right without hesitation.
This was undoubtedly a declaration of their status.
The others who emerged from the portals had no objections to the seating arrangements of the two.
And they consciously took their rightful places according to their strength, contributions, and other factors.
In less than a minute, all the Avengers of this Universehad arrived.
What surprised the Avengers was that after they had all arrived, Steve did not speak; instead, after closing those portals, he opened two more.
From the first portal, another Tony, who looked a bit older, walked out.
This Tony was holding a little girl's hand.
Seeing this, Tony of this Universe quickly stood up to greet him, opening his arms to that Tony...
Then he picked up Morgan, who the other Tony was holding.
Tony rubbed his face against Morgan's little cheek, his expression very gentle:
"Oh, oh, my little Morgan, did you come specifically to see your daddy?"
Parallel Tony's face darkened: "Hey, Tony Two, I'm little Morgan's daddy, your little Morgan isn't even born yet!"
Tony rolled his eyes at him: "First, you're Tony Two, I'm One!"
"Second, last time I went to your Universe, little Morgan already called me Daddy, and I took her to the amusement park and we ate cheeseburgers, in my heart, she's already my daughter!"
After their bickering, Tony of this Universe ultimately took little Morgan away.
Tony of Universe Two shook his head helplessly, allowing Tony to take his daughter.
After all, Tony could be said to be the person he trusted most with little Morgan, besides Pepper.
How did that saying go, oh right, the one you trust most is always yourself...
Then, one by one, the Avengers from Universe Two emerged and took their seats in the second tier of the long conference table.
They had all received Steve's summons and came for that reason.
Finally, everyone's gaze focused on the last portal.
But the first to emerge was not Tony, or any other Avenger.
It was someone they had not expected.
A red cape floated out of the portal.
Superman walked out from inside.
Deadpool shot up from his seat, clutching his head and shouting excitedly:
"Holy crap! Superman! It's Superman!!"
Deadpool kept circling Superman, his mouth chattering non-stop.
"Brothers, this is truly a dream crossover! I never thought after Green Lantern left DC, I'd still have a chance to crossover with Superman, and as Deadpool!"
"It's just a pity this isn't my favorite Henry Cavill Superman...."
"But I understand, after all, Henry has been fired by those idiots at Warner, and even Zack Snyder was fired with him...."
"Oh my god, did I just say something wrong? No one's going to call me a Snyderbro because of this, right?"
"If so, then I apologize, I swear to God, I love Director Gunn, I love his new Superman that's so frustrating it makes you want to die, hahahaha~"
Deadpool hysterically clutched Superman's shoulder, laughing heartily.
As Superman endured the buzzing of the fly next to him, Deadpool patted Superman's shoulder:
"No offense, brother, I didn't mean to say anything bad about you, I like your look too!"
"But you know, liking has rankings, just like Little Spiderover there, he's not my favorite Tobey Spider, but my second favorite, Garfield Spider~"
"But don't feel sorry for me, I saw Henry-looking Wolverine on the TVA set last time I went there, so it's a dream come true, brother, isn't that crazy?"
"But brother, your face is too square, it looks exactly like the comic book, you're not the comic book Superman, are you? Isn't this the movie Universe?"
"Speaking of which, since you, Superman, are here, where's your good buddy, Batman?"
"Quick, let him out, I'm really excited, I'm his super fan, can you get him to sign my butt?"
"When I first arrived in this Universe and was caught by HYDRA, I swore I'd get a Batman tattoo on my butt, and if I had Batman's signature on my perky butt, I think that would be even more intimidating!"
"Imagine, those guys who covet my butt, when they see Batman's signature on it, that classic deep voice 'I'm Batman!' will echo in their minds!"
"Oh ho ho, just thinking about it is too cool!!!"
Superman:...
Batman, with half a foot out of the portal:...
There seems to be a super perverted fan of mine outside, folks, should I still go out?
The next second, Deadpool poked his head into the portal like a ghost, almost touching Batman's face:
"Oh, there's an audience interaction segment here too?"
"How come I didn't know Batman had the ability to break the fourth wall?"
Batman's eye twitched, feeling his fists clench!
He was almost unable to resist punching this red-hooded pervert away.
Batman had just thought this, and the next moment, a fair, tender fist landed on Deadpool's annoying face!
Bang!!
The sound of flesh colliding rang out, and Deadpool flew backward like a broken kite from the long conference table, slamming into the wall of the conference room and sticking there!
Steve was unmoved by Deadpool's miserable state on the wall behind him; he merely stood up and opened his arms.
The next second, a slender blonde figure with a red cape, just like his own, bypassed Batman, who was about to step through the portal, and rushed out of the portal first, crashing into Steve's arms at lightning speed!
The force was such that if it were an ordinary person, they would probably be splattered everywhere, like Robin, Hughie's girlfriend.
But Steve didn't even waver; he merely held the delicate figure in his arms, spun her around once, and set her down.
"Wow... it's Supergirl, so... so beautiful...."
Deadpool uttered a final coherent sentence, then his head lolled, and he died... Of course not, he just fainted from severe injuries....
What a pity, Deadpool ultimately couldn't get Batman's autograph....
As Batman walked out, Diana and Queen Hippolyta also emerged from the portal.
Although Diana was a bit more reserved than Supergirl, she was equally filled with irrepressible joy, throwing herself into Steve's arms and kissing him.
When Steve let go of Diana, all five of his current girlfriends were gathered together.
Sharon, Hela, Wanda, Diana, Kara.
And one of his mothers-in-law, Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta, was also present.
For others, this would undoubtedly be a'Shuraba' (a chaotic scene, often with romantic rivals).
One wrong move, and he might become 'Makoto Itou the Second'.
But who is Steve? He is Captain America, Leader of the Avengers, Sun God, Destroyer of Universes, and Controller of the Multiversal Infinity Stones!
His height is 189 cm, and his aura is at least 9,999,999!
Having five girlfriends, not only does he not come across as a scumbag, but it feels entirely natural.
At least everyone present, including Queen Hippolyta, thought so.
Of course, if you don't have Steve's strength, you still shouldn't try to imitate this'scumbag' behavior, otherwise, you really will become 'Makoto Itou the Second'....
