Chapter 152: God of War Drax
The deal for the Orb of Power went smoothly. The Collector wasn't short of money, and exchanging four billion for one of the Infinity Gems was simply too cost-effective.
Just as he was about to hand over the cash to seal the deal, he noticed something unusual about his maid.
"Karina, stay away from the gem!" the Collector warned.
But Karina, hearing the Collector's introduction to the gem, couldn't hold back anymore. She shouted, "I am no longer your slave!" and grasped the Power Stone.
The immense energy overflowed, turning her whole body into ashes almost instantly, and a massive explosion swept through the scene...
On the square outside the gate, Star-Lord and the others, still in shock, re-discussed the arrangement of the Orb of Power.
"I think we can give it to someone with good character and strength who is willing to pay us a large sum of money," Star-Lord said, combining the others' opinions to form a seemingly compromised plan.
Unexpectedly, Gamora ignored him. "You are mercenary! You are despicable and shameless! You are treacherous!" She picked up the Orb of Power and left, only to see a large number of Kree soldiers arriving.
Drax held two knives, facing the spaceship, and said in a deep voice, "Today, I will avenge my wife and daughter! Ronan, die!"
Thor watched him alone from the back, facing the momentum of thousands of troops. The image of Drax with two daggers across his waist, coupled with that low and magnetic voice, suddenly evoked a vision of the "God of War" series' Kratos.
Not far away, Yondu rushed over, shouting, "Star-Lord, you boy, stop for me! Don't conflict with Ronan!"
"Not good!" Gamora exclaimed. She hurried to a spaceship, intending to escape with the Orb of Power, but Star-Lord, Rocket, and others caught up with her.
Ronan stepped out of the spaceship.
Drax roared, "You killed my wife and my daughter, today I will avenge them!"
Seeing Gamora running away with the Orb, Ronan turned and chased her, completely ignoring the angry and roaring Drax.
"No! You won't get away!" Drax rushed up and stabbed with his sharp dagger.
Ronan ordered coldly to his men, "Take back the sphere!"
Then, facing Drax, who was charging at him, he slapped him away like a ball.
Drax rolled several times on the ground.
Nebula and Minerva had exasperated expressions on their faces. "I thought they were strong, but they turned out to be weak," Nebula remarked.
"Ronan the Accuser is also after the Power Stone," Nebula reminded in a low voice.
Thor shook his head. "Don't worry, even if trash like Ronan gets the gem, it's useless."
In the eyes of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the super boss could only be considered a strong ant to Thor.
Over there, Drax was being beaten by Ronan in all directions. He was far inferior to Ronan in terms of strength and skill.
The legendary "Drax the Destroyer," who single-handedly killed Thanos, had directly become a fool with a simple mind and underdeveloped limbs in this universe. He had no sense of existence and often did stupid things.
On one side was Drax, who barked his teeth and flailed his claws, whose output relied on roaring. He was thrown around like a ragdoll time and time again and charged back time and time again...
On the other side was Ronan, who moved leisurely, strolling around and occasionally throwing out a palm, causing Drax to fly backward for more than ten meters. Drax was completely treated as a giant beanbag.
It had to be said that Ronan was quite good at pretending to be aggressive. If Thor didn't know how cowardly Ronan was in the face of Captain Marvel, he might have been deceived by this posture.
"Hey, congratulations on triggering the Drax-related mission: Revenge. You will be rewarded for completing the mission!"
"Mission introduction: According to legend, Drax the Destroyer is a ruthless character that even Thanos fears. But in this universe, he has become a big fool. Facing the enemy, he has no ability to take revenge at all."
"Mission Objective: Kill Ronan or Thanos. Mission Reward: Active Skill - Brain Damage."
"Brain Damage Technique: Reduces the target's IQ by 90%, and lasts for ten minutes."
Seeing the task reward, Thor almost spat out.
Sure enough, it's a funny character, funny task, funny reward. The system will not deceive me!
Oh, actually, Star-Lord is also a funny comparison, but he is a second-generation god after all.
"What's wrong with you?" Nebula was a little puzzled by the change in Thor's expression.
"Nothing."
Thor recovered his expression and shook his head, looking at the battle ahead.
Ronan thumped and beat Drax to the ground. Lying there like a dead dog, Drax was unable to get up. Ronan held him down and sneered, "I don't remember when I killed your wife and daughter, and I probably won't remember killing you either!"
