Chapter 237

In this universe, there are two very unique empires.

One is called the Sovereign. In their view, the Sovereign is the center of the entire world and even the universe itself. They believe they are the supreme and highest race, the origin of all inventions and the cradle of civilization. Every great person, they claim, is either a Sovereign or has Sovereign blood.

The other is a powerful nation from the African continent, known for its impressive achievements:

In just three days, they conquered the entire territory of Russia, rendering even the Iron Army pale in comparison. In another three days, they helped a certain island nation complete its three-year counterattack plan, nearly causing the bald leader to meet his end prematurely...

Don't be mistaken. This superpower is not Wakanda. The Wakandans are far more discreet.

In the galaxy, there exists a race that combines traits of these two countries—both arrogant and naive, considering themselves superior to all other races and holding contempt for anyone else. They are also highly vengeful, embodying a single-minded arrogance that is both sensitive and disdainful.

This race is the renowned golden race—the Sovereigns .

...

The story begins yesterday.

To protect a high-tech battery made by the Sovereigns, High Priestess Ayesha hired the Guardians of the Galaxy, though she essentially used them as cannon fodder.

After all, how could the noble Sovereigns engage in such barbaric tasks as battling monsters?

The outcome was predictable. Despite the Guardians of the Galaxy having a somewhat low average level and some members being less competent, they included Gamora—a highly intelligent and capable individual. After a fierce battle, they completed the mission and went to collect their reward.

However, the plot took an unexpected turn.

In this timeline, the Guardians of the Galaxy are no longer mere mercenaries; they have a new title—Asgard's special galactic peacekeepers...

The Guardians now boast enhanced prestige with their Asgardian affiliation. Even if the High Priestess Ayesha is arrogant, she won't dare to belittle them, as in the original timeline where Star-Lord was described as a hybrid...

Thus, Rocket Raccoon refrained from stealing the battery. Following Star-Lord's suggestion, they decided to stay for the night to experience the local customs.

But things went awry...

During the day, Star-Lord's old habits resurfaced. He flirted with the High Priestess and made some provocative remarks about "exploring the most primitive methods of reproduction."

That night, Star-Lord arrived at what he thought was just a casual meeting spot...

Only to find it was actually a breeding ground!

A dozen middle-aged golden-skinned women awaited him, determined to extract every ounce of his vitality, accompanied by several burly men...

According to the Sovereigns' High Priestess, this age was ideal for reproduction, and the burly men in sterilized gloves were tasked with collecting samples.

Star-Lord was terrified. Even though he had adventurous tastes, he wasn't prepared for this!

In a moment of crisis, Rocket Raccoon, who had been documenting the situation, came to the rescue. He summoned his teammates, and the Guardians of the Galaxy made their escape.

The Sovereigns, known for their vengeful nature, would not overlook even the slightest offense. Over a few small batteries, they mobilized a vast fleet to pursue them across the universe.

The Guardians' suspected abandonment of their responsibilities enraged the Sovereigns, leading them to issue a universal wanted notice and deploy numerous fighter jets...

As Asgard's peacekeepers, despite their unreliability, they represented Asgard's honor. Such issues are generally addressed through diplomatic channels. A wanted notice was not appropriate.

Thor, upon returning to the castle and introducing Wanda to the other Asgardians, received this news.

He was reluctant to engage with the Sovereigns, but as king, he issued a statement condemning their actions...

Then, this morning, things escalated.

The Sovereigns' delicate pride seemed to have been hurt, resulting in an immediate outburst.

This arrogant race, which views itself as a superior civilization, considers fighting nations like Asgard as inferior. They see Asgardians as uncivilized barbarians.

The only reason they feared Odin was his formidable power. Now, with Thor merely a descendant, they felt less intimidated. Thor's record was insufficient; he was a bully in the Nine Realms but lacked significant fame in the universe, aside from a few notable victories like Ronan and Thanos had his shame...

Without Odin, these barbarians dared to challenge the great Sovereigns?

Thus, High Priestess Ayesha declared war with scathing rhetoric, portraying the Guardians of the Galaxy as pirates and Asgard as a primitive, backward race. She even claimed Odin's greatness was due to his partial Sovereign heritage!

Additionally, they apprehended Asgardians traveling on the Monarch Planet( sovereign capital)...

The universe was shocked. How could these little golden beings be so bold? Most forces chose to remain neutral and observe.

Asgard was in turmoil. Sif rallied three warriors and urged Thor to act...

Thor, however, declined her request.

A mere war wouldn't be enough to make an impact. He needed to create a spectacle, demonstrating to the entire universe that Asgard remains formidable even without Odin!

The Rainbow Bridge can annihilate a planet in seconds, but the Monarch Planet lies outside the Nine Realms, making it inaccessible. Bifrost that odin created to anhilate Hala , was made by inputting his odin for in gungnir.

Thor lacked the strength to use the Rainbow Bridge effectively in this case. Invoking Odin would signify that Thor couldn't manage it alone and needed the daddy's intervention.

At this moment, the only one who could instill real fear was Hela!
