Chapter 153: I Am Groot
A call from Ronan's subordinate came through: "The Power Orb has arrived!"
Ronan didn't want to waste any more time. He grabbed one of Drax's legs and prepared to throw him into a nearby dye vat.
"No one can stop me! The Power Orb is destined to belong to me!" he declared arrogantly.
A voice disrupted the atmosphere: "Really? If you're so tough, why did you run away on Earth twenty years ago?"
"Who? Who the hell dares to bring that up?!" Ronan was furious. This was his dark history, and no one dared to mention it.
He turned around and saw a man he didn't recognize. He had run away from Captain Marvel before he could meet Thor.
He froze for a moment, saw Thor's face, and suddenly remembered another person who had troubled the Supreme Intelligence twenty years ago...
"Are you... an Asgardian?"
Damn, it's rare for me to pretend to be tough, why do I encounter a real threat again?
In fact, many Kree knew Thor's appearance. As one of the people who ruined the major affairs of the Kree, the Supreme Intelligence pinned the blame for Captain Marvel's rebellion on Thor and listed him as a most wanted target. The bounty was second only to Captain Marvel...
In reality, it wasn't so much wanting to catch him, but to warn the Kree people to be cautious and avoid them...
Ronan panicked and looked at an adjutant for an idea.
The adjutant blinked and quickly understood Ronan's intention.
He coughed twice and said, "My lord, we have obtained the Power Orb. We have important business to attend to, so let's let them go for now."
This adjutant was clever, knowing that the boss wanted to save face and couldn't directly ask to retreat!
Ronan nodded in satisfaction. "Since that's the case, I'll spare you this time!"
As soon as the words fell, he jumped onto the spaceship as if afraid of being stopped.
The act was so bad that not only Thor but also Nebula and Minerva could see through it.
"What did you do to make him so afraid of you?" Nebula was puzzled. Ronan the Accuser was notorious in the universe...
In fact, Ronan didn't know that Thor thought it was useful to keep him alive. Otherwise, even if they boarded the spaceship, they could still be shot down...
"Is Gamora okay?" Nebula was worried.
"It's okay, she just went with her boyfriend to meet the parents."
Minerva couldn't help laughing, while Nebula's forehead was full of black lines.
As expected, even though Nebula no longer served Ronan in this life, Gamora was unlucky enough to be hit by Ronan's men's weapon. They snatched the Power Orb and left her in the vacuum.
There aren't many races that can survive in space, and Gamora was on the verge of death soon.
Star-Lord, who followed, looked at her. Perhaps it was fate, but he felt that he was in the galaxy and had found the right person.
Ignoring Rocket's dissuasion, he resolutely opened the flight cabin and gave his space suit to Gamora.
The feeling of suffocation came, and cosmic rays eroded his body. At the moment of life and death, the only thing he thought of was Yondu, and he struggled to send the coordinates...
Rocket Raccoon landed, cursing, and saw Drax sitting silently on the ground.
"A bunch of idiots! Idiots! Things wouldn't have turned out like this. Quill actually got off the spaceship by himself... and you, what are you doing, thinking you can defeat an army!"
Drax was full of guilt: "You're right, I'm an idiot. All the anger, all the hatred, just to cover up my sadness..."
Groot patted him lightly on the shoulder.
Rocket was stunned for a moment; he didn't expect that Drax would admit his mistake. He took a deep breath: "Don't think my words are unkind. No one has ever died! But there's no need to drag the living along with them!"
Seeing that Drax didn't respond, Rocket said dejectedly, "Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. Ronan got the Power Orb, so let's hurry up and escape to the other side of the galaxy. Groot, let's go!"
"I'm Groot..."
"What? Are you going to save them? How?"
"I'm Groot..."
Rocket's pointed ears perked up, and he said helplessly, "I know, we are teammates. But now they are in the hands of a predator. How can we save them with just the two of us?"
Before Groot could answer, Drax stood up slowly, with a firm face: "It's three people."
Rocket scratched his head, annoyed.
"I'm Groot..."
With a smile on Groot's face, he knew Rocket had agreed.
In fact, Rocket Raccoon is not indifferent. On the contrary, he is too emotional, which is why until today he only has Groot as a friend.
At this time, they didn't realize that a small circle was being born.
