Almost everyone thought Peter was crazy, but what happened next caused all of them to unconsciously open their mouths wide.
Peter was seen strolling leisurely in space, dodging all the energy rays fired by the dark aster, and easily arriving before the defense field that was like a Wall of Sighs.
Faced with this defensive power that was enough to make the entire Nova Corps feel powerless,
Peter reached out with a relaxed expression and pressed his hand against the field.
Immediately following, countless golden inscriptions spread rapidly across the dark purple energy field like a virus.
Before long, a large section of the field was completely covered in gold.
Then, as Peter made a fist-clenching motion,
Ping!
The nearly indestructible defense field shattered instantly!
Countless fine cracks emerged upon it.
Peter's finger lightly swiped across the field.
Rip—!
A light sound like paper tearing was transmitted to everyone's ears through the vibration of energy.
The entire energy shield of the dark aster, that layer of absolute defense that thousands of warships were helpless against, was easily torn open with a huge gap by him, just like tearing a piece of scrap paper!
Next, Peter grabbed both sides of the rift with his hands and yanked them outward!
Ping!
The entire shield system overloaded instantly, purple energy turbulence scattered everywhere, and finally collapsed completely, turning into a sky full of brilliant spots of light that dissipated into the dark Universe.
Inside the combat room, there was dead silence.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the figure floating calmly in front of the dark aster on the screen.
The Walkman in Star-Lord's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Rocket's face was filled with an expression that screamed, "Is this guy really a damn carbon-based lifeform?"
Gamora was also stunned; as Thanos's adopted daughter, she couldn't help but constantly compare the Black Order under Thanos with Peter.
A thought that secretly alarmed her jumped into her mind—if it were this man, perhaps it really would be possible to kill Thanos?
As for the people of the Nova Corps, they felt as if their worldview was being repeatedly rubbed into the ground.
Tearing apart a ship's shield powered by the Power Stone... with his bare hands?
Just how strong has this guy become?!
Only Sif still maintained a calm expression at this moment.
She had long since become accustomed to small scenes like this.
"What are you waiting for?"
Sif lightly tapped the desk with her knuckles:
"If you don't charge in now, do you really want my man to solve the trouble for you all by himself?"
Hearing this, Irani was the first to react and immediately ordered:
"All forces, attack."
In an instant, countless ships swarmed toward the dark aster, firing frantically at the main ship.
...
In the main control room of the dark aster, Ronan, just as things had developed in the original story, arrogantly took the initiative to tear up the cooperation agreement with Thanos.
Although Ronan used a clever method, using the Kree high-tech energy hammer as a medium to successfully control the Power Stone,
his mind was simply not worthy of the Power Stone.
Therefore, unsurprisingly, he suffered a backlash from the Power Stone.
Now, his thinking was completely influenced by the stone.
He felt that he was already invincible in the World.
At this moment, in his heart, what was Thanos?
He wasn't even fit to carry his shoes!
Now, with the enhancement of the Power Stone, he was almost omnipotent!
Conquering Xandar would be as easy as turning over a hand; counter-attacking the Kree planet, or even an expedition to Titan to make Thanos bow down and submit, was only a matter of time!
While Ronan was fantasizing about his dream of ruling the Universe with the Power Stone, a strong vibration caused him to fall flat on his butt on the spot.
It almost shook the Power Stone embedded in the hammer loose!
While Ronan broke into a cold sweat because of this,
his subordinate rushed in with hurried steps:
"Ronan, My Lord, something bad has happened!"
"The Nova Corps sent a monster who tore apart the dark aster shield and is now launching a fierce attack on the dark aster. The dark aster... I'm afraid it won't last much longer!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Ronan was first taken aback, and then a furious expression appeared on his face.
Daring to attack his dark aster?
Truly seeking death!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, picked up his hammer, and took the initiative to walk out of the cabin.
Thus, while everyone was still shocked and dazed by this unimaginable scene, the hatch of the dark aster slowly opened.
A tall figure holding a war hammer and emitting a purple glow all over stepped out.
It was Ronan the Accuser.
His gaze almost instantly locked onto Peter, who was floating in mid-air.
A hideous smile then appeared on his face: "mortal, you have successfully angered me."
As he spoke, he raised his hammer high.
Just this simple movement caused a terrifying energy Impact to spread rapidly.
The moment they were affected by the Impact, the weapons that were originally attacking the dark aster instantly fell silent.
Many Nova ships that were charging at the very front even exploded on the spot!
This visually impactful scene caused everyone in the command room to fall silent instantly.
The bit of excitement from seeing Peter tear the energy field apart earlier also vanished immediately.
That was Ronan holding the Power Stone!
That monster has personally taken the field!
What should they do?
"Continue the attack!"
At the critical moment, it was Irani who was the first to regain her senses:
"We must never let Mr. Peter fight alone for us!"
Hearing this, the people of the Nova Corps regained their senses one after another, and each of them gritted their teeth to launch suicide attacks on Ronan once again.
But their resistance appeared so pale in the face of the Power Stone.
They... had no power to fight back at all!
What to do?
What exactly needs to be done to defeat Ronan, who is now as powerful as a god?
"I have a plan!"
After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Star-Lord proposed an extremely unreliable plan:
"I'll go out now and do a dance-off to attract his attention. You guys take the opportunity to destroy that hammer, how about it?"
"Once his hammer is destroyed, he might no longer be able to control the Power Stone."
Everyone: ???
Everyone at this moment had the expression of the 'Go play somewhere else' meme.
They really wanted to ask Star-Lord if he was serious.
But on second thought, although the matter of attracting attention with a dance-off was very unreliable, destroying the hammer was indeed the correct line of thinking!
Just as they were hesitating whether or not to give it a try...
"Heh."
A light laugh resounded across the battlefield.
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly revealed an undisguised... sense of contempt.
"You... are mocking me?"
Ronan's voice instantly darkened, and the purple energy surrounding him began to surge violently; that was the energy of the Power Stone boiling along with his rage.
He couldn't understand why a mere mortal, who had emerged from some remote corner, could still be so reckless after witnessing the power of an Infinity Stone.
"No, no, no." Peter waved his hand, but the smile on his face became even more brilliant,
"I'm not mocking you."
Ronan's expression softened slightly, thinking that the other party had finally realized fear.
But Peter's next sentence caused Ronan's anger value to instantly max out:
"I just think you're hilarious."
Smack~!
Hearing this, Star-Lord couldn't help but facepalm hard.
It's over. Now, it'll be impossible to even try to distract this guy's attention!
