[Rocket Raccoon, observing the near annihilation of the Xandarian army, spoke as the Darkstar approached the ground.]
"I know, I want to too, but Alice hasn't opened the door yet."
Rudius looked at the tightly shut door and said.
"I'll do it."
Drax walked to the door and punched it.
The fist slammed into the door, but not a sound was made.
【"How about it?"】
Rudyus looked at Drax and asked.
【"fine."】
Drax said, placing his swollen left hand behind his back.
Meanwhile, Iris, whom Rudeus mentioned, was still fighting Nebula. It must be said that Nebula's weapon, enhanced by its electric attribute enchantment, gave her a significant advantage in the battle.
[But she was still no match for Alice. Alice was once again electrified by Nebula, but this time she adapted quickly and kicked Nebula in the stomach.]
Nebula was sent flying backward by Alice's kick, and unfortunately, she landed right in front of a hole that had been blasted open.
Nebula also slid out of that hole. She tried to steady herself, but there was nothing for her to grab onto.
However, just before falling, Nebula's hand got caught between two metal bars, and she looked down.
"Sister, help us fight Ronan."
"You know very well that Ronan is a madman."
Alice walked to the edge and extended her hand in a beckoning gesture towards the nebula.
"You're both the same, you're both crazy."
Nebula didn't reach for Alice's outstretched hand; instead, she severed her own trapped hand with a single stroke.
【"No!"】
Alice shouted, looking down at the falling nebula, "At that height, the nebula will be completely destroyed in a fall."
[But Nebula wouldn't commit suicide. She wouldn't die so easily before defeating Thanos. While Iris was speaking, she was constantly observing. She only cut off her own hand when she saw the right opportunity. After all, it was mechanical; she could just replace it with a new one.]
[Starry Cloud crashed onto a Marauder ship, broke the glass, and threw the Marauders out.]
"I have a question: Can Rudeus and his team defeat Ronan, who possesses the Infinity Stones?"
Kazuma Sato was somewhat puzzled, after all, they had witnessed Ronan's power after acquiring the Infinity Stones.
A single beam of light nearly destroyed the Xandar Legion; it was only because the explosion took time that it was resolved, otherwise the Dark Star Impact would have been sufficient.
"I don't know, we'll find out as we watch. Anyway, we already know the answer is that they'll stop it, otherwise they wouldn't be called Guardians of the Galaxy."
Zhuge Cong said, "Don't overthink it, just look."
Alice didn't show much grief, as she still had an important mission to complete. She quickly destroyed the power source.
At the same time, the door in front of Rudeus and the others also opened due to the damage to the power source.
[The door opened, and before the shaman soldiers inside could even react or fire their guns, another explosion rang out. Alice blew a hole in the wall with a single shot and ran inside.]
Those shaman soldiers were easily dealt with.
Rudius, too, was pointing the hadron gun—a special weapon given to him by Rocket Raccoon—at Ronan.
Ronan turned to look at the four audacious men who had barged in.
The most bizarrely designed one was a creature with what looked like a cannon mounted on its chest.
Rudeus didn't give Ronan a chance to attack. He locked onto Ronan with his hadron pistol, and the next second, Rudeus fired.
The terrifying recoil of the hadron gun sent Rudeus flying backward. Rudeus had no idea the hadron gun had such a strong recoil, and Rocket Raccoon hadn't told him either.
[The enormous bullet, so large it could be called a cannonball, struck Ronan.]
The blinding white light from the instantaneous explosion caused all three except Rudius, who was wearing a space helmet, to instinctively raise their hands to shield their eyes, making the dimly lit Darkstarship as bright as day.
The violent explosion created a small mushroom cloud centered on Ronan. Rudius and the others hadn't expected the hadron gun Rocket Raccoon had given them to be so powerful.
Rocket Raccoon genuinely wanted to blow up the Predator.
Rudius couldn't help but think to himself.
"That thing is incredibly powerful, it's a bit too strong."
Kohei Imamura said, looking at the power of the hadron gun in the light screen, which had created a mushroom cloud.
"No matter how powerful Ronan's physical body is, it shouldn't be able to withstand the power of Qiangzi's explosion, right?"
"Even if he doesn't die, he'll be severely injured and unable to use the Infinity Stones."
Kohei Imamura felt that Ronan's physique was strong, probably only slightly weaker than the Hulk, or at most on par.
"Not necessarily. What if the Infinity Stones also have defensive capabilities?"
Kitahara Iori said that as one of the six Infinity Stones, Kitahara Iori would not be surprised if the Infinity Stones had some strange and unusual abilities.
"Then Rudius and the others must be crying."
Kohei Imamura thought for a moment and then said.
Rudius regained his footing, removed his space helmet, and the others looked towards the epicenter of the explosion, where Ronan was standing.
"You succeeded."
Drax looked at Rudyus excitedly and said...
But the next second, Rudius's smile vanished, as did the smiles of the other three, because the imagined scene of Ronan turning to ashes never materialized.
As the smoke cleared, Ronan's figure slowly appeared before Rudius and the others, the most striking feature being the purple light emanating from his right hand.
Despair gripped Rudeus and his companions. Even such an attack couldn't take down Ronan; what else could they do?
Rudeus and Iris exchanged a glance, knowing something was terribly wrong.
Ronan looked at the group before him, raised the Infinity Hammer in his hand, and with a slight twist, a repulsive force shot towards Rudeus and the others.
Rudeus and his companions were completely powerless to resist and were sent flying backward by the force of the impact.
Drax was blasted away, but he stood up again and charged at Ronan. Ronan grabbed Drax by the neck.
"I was wrong before."
"I do remember your family."
"Their cries as they died were so pitiful, I..."
[Ronan, gripping Drax's neck, deliberately provoked him, but before Ronan could finish speaking, the roar of a spaceship grew louder and louder. Ronan looked outside the barrier and saw a Marauder ship hurtling straight towards them.]
"Aaaaaah!"
Rocket Raccoon, piloting the Marauder, charged towards Ronan. The Marauder slammed into Ronan, then rampaged through the Dark Star, leaving the flight deck in ruins. Rudeus, seeing that the still-unresponsive Groot was in the nick of time, rushed over and pushed Groot away at the last second.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bong!"
[Rocket Raccoon, seeing that the Marauder spaceship showed no sign of backing down, went straight to maximum power, crashing all the way to the top of the ship before finally stopping. By then, the flight deck had been reduced to rubble.]
From the outside, you could see the central part of the Dark Star explode, followed by billowing black smoke.
Rudius jogged to the Marauder's ship, looked at the broken glass, and carefully carried the unconscious Rocket Raccoon out. If it weren't for Rocket Raccoon's timely rescue, they would likely be in grave danger and would have been captured by Ronan.
Alice also pulled the unconscious Drax from under the rubble.
Just as Rocket Raccoon stormed in with his Predator ship and rammed into Ronan, Drax broke free from Ronan's grasp.
Alice estimated that if Drax hadn't broken free from Ronan's grasp, he would likely have been killed along with Ronan.
Rudius and the others believed that Ronan should be dead under such an impact.
The flight deck, having lost some of its support due to the impact of the Marauder ship, was constantly shedding debris.
540: Ronan: Pizza Hut, we want it!
"If Rocket Raccoon were to drive his Marauder ship directly into Ronan and successfully hit him, but Ronan didn't die."
"This means that the Infinity Stones are just as I said before, not only granting their owners immense destructive power."
Kitahara Iori watched as Rocket Raccoon, piloting a Marauder spaceship, crashed into Ronan on the light screen, crushing him all the way to the end and even causing an explosion.
If Ronan were still alive after such an attack, that would be truly remarkable.
"I feel that Ronan won't just die here so easily. After all, for Rudius and the others to be called the Guardians of the Galaxy, they must have solved something big, and that big thing must be stopping Ronan."
Kohei Imamura began to speak.
"Wouldn't crashing Ronan to death here in a spaceship solve the major crisis?"
"It's different. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. If we were to crash a spaceship into Ronan and kill him, we wouldn't use the name 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' but rather 'Heroes of Xandar.'"
Kohei Imamura felt it should be a grand-scale battle, but he also thought it was unlikely because he knew how big the power gap was between Ronan and Rudeus, who possessed the Infinity Stones.
Before Ronan even lifted the hammer, Rudius and the others all took off.
