Yu Ishigami thought to himself as he looked at the anti-air defense line formed by the raiders within the light screen.
[At this moment, Rudeus and his group, on their way to the flight deck, experienced what it means to find love around the corner.]
[Upon turning around, he encountered a large group of Ronan's men. The leader, Rudius, was someone he recognized—the same big black guy he'd met when he went to steal the Orb of Destiny.]
"Star-Lord."
[And that person, upon seeing Rudeus, also called him by his nickname.]
"Finally, I've memorized it."
Rudeus smiled, and the next second the large black-headed man grabbed Rudeus and threw him away, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Drax also displayed his strength, wreaking havoc among the shaman soldiers.
"I thought there would be some kind of twist, but it turns out that it really was just that Big Blackhead remembered Rudeus's nickname."
Ruri Gokou said, looking at the crowd fighting after Rudeus was thrown out in the light screen.
Rudeus, who had fallen to the ground, immediately deployed his cosmic helmet. The moment it was deployed, the large, black-faced figure grabbed Rudeus and threw him away.
[“Bang!”]
Rudeus crashed into the wall, and the big black-headed man walked towards him.
"You despicable thief!"
Just as Big Black Head was about to say something, he heard some noise and immediately turned around. A knife flew past his face and pierced the body of a shaman soldier standing nearby.
Drax charged at the big black man after his battle cry, and they engaged in a fierce battle.
Although Drax's physical attributes were superior to Big Black's, his fighting skills were far inferior, and he was completely outmatched by Big Black.
【"Snapped!"】
[The big black-haired man delivered a spinning kick to Drax's head, then said menacingly.]
"You won't be able to reach Ronan."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Drax got up and started fighting with the big black guy again. This time Drax was a bit smarter, and it was Drax who pinned the big black guy down and beat him up.
While Drax dealt with the giant blackhead, Rudyus and Groot were taking care of the shaman soldiers.
Drax grabbed the big black man and pinned him against the wall, unable to budge him despite his struggles. Drax then grabbed a device on the big black man's bald head and whispered in his ear.
"A finger across the throat is murder."
After Drax finished speaking, he pulled the thing off, and the big black head collapsed to the ground, sparks flying from it.
"I used a metaphor."
Drax looked at Rudius and said.
"More or less."
"Isn't that right?"
Drax observed Rudius's reaction and spoke.
"how to say."
"Drax always manages to do and say things that are either eye-opening or shocking."
Kitahara Iori looked at Drax in the light screen and said.
"really."
Kohei Imamura agreed.
[Just as Rudeus and his companions finished dealing with the enemy, they saw two more rows of shaman soldiers charging towards them.]
"Aaaaaah!"
[Groot roared, his left hand shot out, piercing through an entire squad of shaman soldiers. This move left everyone dumbfounded.]
["Bang, bang!"]
[Groot, the tree spirit, grabbed the group of shaman soldiers and slammed them down, then smashed them towards another group.]
"Aaaaaah!"
[Groot roared and slammed his hand down more than a dozen times before finally withdrawing it.]
Meanwhile, Alice, having recovered, also acquired two weapons and engaged Nebula in battle.
[Once Alice regains her strength, Nebula is no match for her.]
539: Rocket: Eat my road roller's teeth!
Nebula was naturally being pushed back by Alice, but this was only because Alice didn't want to kill her sister Nebula.
Otherwise, with Nebula's abilities, she wouldn't have been able to contend with Alice for so long.
Looking at the battlefield outside, Ronan's desire and impulse to destroy Xandar grew stronger.
"Xandar!"
"Accept the sanctions!"
Ronan stood up from his seat, took the hammer inlaid with the Infinity Stones, and walked forward.
"That pathetic peace treaty won't save you."
"Let us perish in the flames along with the treaty."
At this moment, the barrier in front of Ronan automatically closed, and Ronan's words were transmitted to the Xandar strategic command center, reaching the ears of the Nova Supreme.
After Ronan finished speaking, he raised the Infinity Hammer in his hand, aiming it at the Xandar spaceship in front of him. The head of the Infinity Hammer glowed with a purple light.
The purple light, a symbol of death, transformed into a beam and shot towards the energy network formed by the Xandar ships.
The Xandar spaceships that were hit by the purple beam exploded instantly, without even a second to resist.
[As the first spaceship exploded, it was like setting off firecrackers; one Xandar ship after another exploded.]
Alice and Nebula, who were fighting inside the Dark Star, were also knocked to the ground by the shockwave of the explosion.
Without the energy network and a large number of spaceships to obstruct its progress, Dark Star's advance is difficult to stop.
Meanwhile, the raider army on the ground was also in dire straits. Ronan's suicide-destructing flying army was simply too numerous, gradually breaking through their firing range.
As the first Bee-type spaceship broke through, more and more Bee-type spaceships followed suit.
A raider unit was caught off guard and exploded. Debris from the blast struck Rocket Raccoon's ship, but fortunately, the debris was small and only shattered some glass.
【"Rocket!"】
[Commander of the Xandarian Legion, the front half of Dannalion's ship was also ruptured and collapsed by the impact of the Darkstar.]
"Hang in there, Sal, just a little longer..."
Before Rocket Raccoon could finish speaking, Legion Commander Thrall let out a scream and perished. The impact of the Dark Star destroyed the entire ship, which hadn't even finished exploding yet.
Rocket Raccoon stared in disbelief at the massive explosion in the sky. That was the most elite force on Star Sands, wiped out just like that.
The people in the strategic command center, watching the scene on the screen, felt utterly hopeless, wondering what could possibly stop Ronan's march toward destroying Xandar.
"How can we break this deadlock?"
"The Xandar legion was almost completely wiped out; even if any remained, there were only a handful."
"The raider army also suffered heavy losses."
"The Dark Star doesn't seem to be badly damaged, and we don't know how many Sam soldiers it has."
"But none of that is the point. The point is Ronan, who obtained the Infinity Stones."
"Only if Ronan lands will the destruction of Xandar be inevitable."
"What are you going to do in this situation, Guardians of the Galaxy?"
Minoru Kageno took a sip of the hot tea beside him and thought that wanting to bear the name of the Guardians of the Galaxy was no easy task.
They now know the answer, but not the process; they know the Guardians of the Galaxy should stop Ronan's atrocities, but they don't know how to resolve it.
After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is undeniable, and Ronan's strength with the Infinity Stones is beyond question.
Minoru Kageno estimates that only top-tier fighters like the Ancient One, Odin, or Thanos could subdue Ronan in his Infinity Stones form.

"Even if Xandar hadn't been destroyed by Ronan, its future status would have been severely affected."
"After all, the legion commander and the entire army sacrificed themselves."
Lupin III looked at the Xandar army, which had been nearly wiped out by the Dark Star attack, and spoke.
From the conversation between Xandar's Nova Supreme and the Kree, it's clear that the Kree don't really care much about Xandar.
Without an army, the Kree Empire would probably launch an attack on Xandar.
"Rudius, I think you need to hurry."
"The citizens have been mostly evacuated, but we are still fighting a tough battle."
