Chapter 246

[500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 1000PS!]

Hearing the commotion from a distance, Syd glanced over and then dismissed it.

It was clear that the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy had gathered.

Rocket, Groot, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Drax…

At that moment, Syd suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

He looked up and saw Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, and the others walking over.

"Hey, buddy, can we talk? How about giving that orb back to me?" Star-Lord pleaded.

After he spoke, the mysterious man in white before him shook his head.

Seeing this, Star-Lord's face shifted through several emotions before he made a decision and gritted his teeth.

"Alright, mysterious brother, I'll be honest with you. The orb in your hand is worth four billion, and we need to sell it. We can split the money evenly afterward!"

"Quill?" Rocket asked, surprised.

Hearing this, Syd's eyes flickered slightly.

Sell it, huh…

It was clear that Star-Lord and the others were planning to head to the Collector next.

Thinking of this, Syd nodded in agreement under the tense gaze of Star-Lord and his crew.

Seeing that he agreed, Rocket and the others became excited.

"Alright, now we need to figure out how to escape this damned prison," Rocket said.

"Only by working together can we make a better escape," he added, glancing at Star-Lord, Gamora, and even Syd.

They hadn't been discussing for long when alarms suddenly blared.

Everyone turned to see Groot had already removed an energy cell from the prison.

"Oh, great. Looks like we're starting earlier than planned," Rocket said, exasperated, slapping his face.

Star-Lord and the others quickly started looking for tools to escape.

Meanwhile, a series of mechanical drones, like flying machines, swarmed from different corners of the prison.

"Prisoners, drop your equipment and return to your cells, or we will open fire!" the guards of the Kyln prison warned.

Syd watched as the drones surrounded them.

When it became clear they weren't going to surrender, the drones opened fire.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bullets sprayed toward them.

Star-Lord, Rocket, and the others scattered in a panic, looking quite embarrassed.

Syd, however, remained the calmest. Few drones aimed at him, and even when they did, he effortlessly blocked the bullets with his red Chaos Magic.

Seeing how easy it was for him, Star-Lord and the others couldn't help but feel envious.

"This isn't fair at all!" Rocket grumbled.

"What was that red glow? It blocked the bullets?" Star-Lord muttered in shock. "This mysterious guy really has some tricks. Glad we didn't piss him off earlier..."

The scene descended into chaos.

Syd silently observed.

He followed Rocket and the others to the prison's control room.

With some quick manipulation, Rocket successfully shut down the gravity control system. The guards attacking them floated into the air, looking panicked.

Gamora was surprised. "This guy shut off the artificial gravity. Everything is weightless except for this."

Then, with a few more moves, Rocket detached the control room from its track. Under external gravitational influence, it slowly began to drift.

Drones controlled by Rocket attached themselves to the bottom of the prison control room.

As their engines powered up, the entire control room began to float into the air.

Within moments, Rocket had turned the prison control room into a makeshift spaceship.

"I told you guys, I had a plan," Rocket said smugly.

As he spoke, he controlled the drones, lifting the control room and flying it forward.

After a bumpy flight, the control room crashed onto the ground, and Star-Lord made a new discovery.

"There it is, my ship!"

"The Milano, orange and blue, just around that corner!"

Syd floated along, following Rocket and the others toward the Milano.

Meanwhile, Star-Lord went off to retrieve his confiscated Walkman.

Soon after, they boarded the Milano and flew out of the Kyln prison, finally entering the vastness of space.

Glancing at the dark, endless expanse of the universe, Syd raised his brows. If it weren't for the Cosmic Cube in his possession and the fact that his godly body hadn't reached the fifth level, he wouldn't have dared come to such a place.

Even now, sitting inside the ship, he felt a bit uneasy.

The void of space was like a nightmare for those with claustrophobia. Even for normal people, staring at it for too long could make one uncomfortable.

Before long, Star-Lord returned.

With a whoosh, the Milano flew off toward the Collector's location as planned.

However, shortly after they left the prison, more chaos erupted inside.

"Please, I don't know where they went, I swear!" someone pleaded.

Ronan, accompanied by Nebula and a group of marauder soldiers, had invaded the Kyln prison, interrogating prisoners.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they pressed, none of the prisoners knew Rocket and the others' whereabouts.

At that moment, Nebula, Thanos' other adopted daughter, with her blue skin and mostly mechanical body, said, "If any of them knew where they went, they would have told us by now."

Suddenly, she appeared anxious and said, "Ronan, the Nova Corps has sent a fleet to defend the prison!"

Hearing this, the tall, blue-skinned Ronan was forced to retreat. "Fine. Send out the Necrocraft. Search every corner of the galaxy. Find the Orb at all costs!"

"What about the prison?" Nebula asked.

"We can't let the Nova Corps know we were here. Cleanse it!" Ronan coldly ordered.

Time quickly passed in the depths of space.

"Everyone, pay attention, we're almost there!" Rocket's voice echoed.

Everyone moved to the cockpit, and as they looked out, they were shocked by the sight before them.

Floating in the distance was an enormous severed head.

Buildings were visible within it from afar.

Clearly, this massive head had been modified by someone.

"Whoa?" Star-Lord exclaimed.

"What is that?" Drax asked.

Gamora glanced at it and explained, "This place is called Knowhere. It's the severed head of an ancient celestial being."

She added a warning, "Be careful when we go in. Rocket, this place is lawless."

As they stared in awe, Syd also gazed at the scene before him, his expression changing slightly. He muttered, "Celestial Remains, huh…"
