Chapter 170: The Stealer Always Steals
Carol was troubled.
Although the crisis in the Kree Empire had been resolved, it was difficult for her to walk away at this critical moment when Thanos was poised to launch an all-out attack at any time.
Unexpectedly, it was Thor who persuaded her to go to the rescue.
"This is a conspiracy. Thanos and the Kree are definitely colluding. They're attacking now to keep you occupied. Ultimatum? It's not for the Skrulls to consider; it's for you to rush back from."
"Then you still want me to go?" Carol asked.
"Thanos' apparent strength is far inferior to ours, which is why he relies on various schemes. But against absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless. Don't worry. As long as I am still alive, Thanos will not win. I will make him and his entire force space debris."
"Go, and don't leave any regrets."
With his thoughts resolved, Carol looked ahead. An enormous spaceship came into view.
Sanctuary 2, Thanos' super-stronghold.
Carol managed a subtle smile and said to herself, "I won't let you have any regrets."
On a spaceship, Thanos had just departed with Gamora, heading for Vormir.
With Thanos possessing the Mind Gem, Gamora knew she couldn't hide it. For the safety of her companions, she had no choice but to agree to lead Thanos to the gem.
Her companions were left behind as hostages in Sanctuary .
"It's been a whole day since Gamora was taken by Thanos , and there's still no news. What could be happening?" Star-Lord asked worriedly.
He looked to his teammates, hoping for some comforting words.
However, Rocket Raccoon added a sharp comment: "It's hard to say. Even though he is Gamora's adoptive father, being a father doesn't necessarily make him reliable."
Drax added, "Thanos is a bloodthirsty executioner! He has no heart. Father-daughter? Look at how much Gamora despises him."
"Damn it!" Star-Lord exclaimed angrily. "We need to find a way to save Gamora!"
Rocket smirked and suggested, "Why don't you dance again, Quill, and Groot can reach out to open the door?"
Star-Lord replied, "Even if I, Quill, spend my whole life in this place, I will never use such a disgusting method again!"
Is it your face that loses its feeling, or are you already accustomed to watching me dance?
A few minutes later, the group quietly exited the cell.
It smelled so good!
"Quill, do you feel something is off?" Rocket touched Star-Lord's arm.
"No," Star-Lord grimaced.
Rocket Raccoon whispered, "You have to trust my sixth sense. After all, I'm a raccoon. Animals have an instinct to sense danger..."
The next moment, a piercing siren sounded.
"Dammit, you jinxed it!" Star-Lord nearly jumped.
I betrayed my integrity and escaped from prison in less than a minute, so don't let us get caught again!
Rocket pulled him back and said in a low voice, "This is an alarm for the entire spaceship..."
"We're doomed!"
The siren that echoed throughout Sanctury 2 was not for the minor mischief of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
In the control room, Ebony Maw watched as Captain Marvel charged towards them with a grim expression.
"Fire the naval guns. Make sure to shoot her down, and notify everyone to prepare for battle!"
An officer said dismissively, "My lord, what's the big deal? It's just one woman. A random group of people can handle it..."
"D..."
Before he could finish, he was slapped. "Idiot, this is the woman who killed Black Dwarf! If you want to kill me, I won't stop you."
The officer shrank back, realizing that recklessness doesn't equate to stupidity...
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
A barrage of artillery fired at Carol.
Carol remained unfazed, not even considering ducking to avoid the fire, and charged straight ahead.
Countless shells hit Carol, filling the sky with flames.
Carol emerged from the sea of flames in an instant, the explosions merely serving as a backdrop.
Real heroes never look back at explosions, and that applied to her as well...
"It's impossible!" Ebony Maw shouted frantically.
"Boom!"
There was a deafening roar, and the entire Sanctuary .
Carol, enveloped in golden energy, pierced through Sanctuary No. 2. The energy surrounding her seemed to dim somewhat, but her speed did not decrease, and she vanished into the vast night sky in an instant.
The Skrulls were in a precarious situation, and there was no time to stay and fight the group. Besides, the current situation was enough to give Thanos a headache.
