Death?

"I am Groot."

"Stop searching, you idiot. There's nothing here but a pile of incomprehensible books."

"I am Groot."

Groot sighed in frustration, then stepped away from the books piled under his feet and walked towards Rocket.

Just as the two were about to leave the library, which they had made a mess of, Rocket's eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered the plight he and Groot had been in since they entered the Ark, then looked back at the library, and suddenly grew bold.

Then Rocket raised the energy cannon in his hand and aimed at the central desk in the library, made of golden wood.

"It takes a price to play with me!"

Rocket roared, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

Instantly, a bluish energy cannonball shot out from the barrel, heading straight for Zane's exclusive desk.

If the desk, completely made of solid wood, were hit, it would undoubtedly turn into a pile of splinters ...

It might even cause a fire, turning all the precious books in the library into ashes.

Just as Rocket was roaring, the eyes of the Statue of Liberty suddenly opened wide.

She was awakened by Rocket's roar!

The next moment, a golden light flashed across the declaration of freedom in the statue's hand.

Then a faint golden power of faith rushed in before the energy cannonball, forming a faint golden shield on the desk.

Blocking the malicious cannonball fired by Rocket.

When the Statue of Liberty saw the messy scene in the library.

For the first time, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, which were usually filled with intelligence and wisdom.

You should know that the Statue of Liberty treated this library, specially built by Zane, as her own home.

If strangers made a mess in your house and even wanted to destroy it afterward, what would you do?

Immediately, the Statue of Liberty stood up, looked down at the dumbfounded Rocket and Groot, and shouted angrily.

"It's you two little brats who messed up the master's library and want to destroy it, right?"

The furious Statue of Liberty couldn't control her volume.

The huge sound waves directly made Groot and Rocket's ears buzz.

"Groot, run!" Rocket shouted hoarsely.

Then, perhaps because their auditory systems were temporarily malfunctioning due to the Statue of Liberty's shock, or perhaps because Groot's thought process was peculiar.

"I am Groot."

Groot roared and rushed towards the Statue of Liberty, who was over 40 meters tall.

Rocket, standing on his shoulder, suddenly had the urge to shoot Groot, this big idiot, directly.

"Groot, you're going the wrong way!" Rocket leaned over to Groot's head and shouted with all his might.

You know what, it was quite effective. Groot immediately hit the brakes, stood still in place, and dumbly scratched the back of his head.

"I am Groot."

In the restaurant, Zane smiled and pushed Lorna, who was laughing so hard she was clutching her stomach, and Bastis who was rolling around on the table.

"Okay, let's go meet these two cute little guys, or they'll be dead!"

After saying that, Zane pulled Lorna, Bastis, and Little Bone and disappeared into the private room of the restaurant with a flash.

In Zane's exclusive library on the Ark, unlike Groot, who was confused about the situation.

Rocket nervously pointed the energy cannon in his hand at the angry Statue of Liberty.

The intuition brought by long-term exposure to life and death told Rocket that if he made even the slightest mistake now, both he and the idiot Groot would definitely die.

Seeing the Statue of Liberty about to crush them under her foot.

Rocket aimed at the Statue of Liberty's head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

But those few energy cannonballs were only passable against magnetic robots.

Facing the Statue of Liberty, which possessed the power of faith, they only caused a few ripples on the thin shield covering the Statue of Liberty's body.

Not even leaving a singe on her bronze face.

The Statue of Liberty's large foot had already come crashing down on their heads with a loud roar.

Now, even Groot, who was slow to catch on, realized the urgency of the situation.

Seeing Groot rushing towards the Statue of Liberty, Rocket suddenly felt the impulse to shoot Groot directly and eliminate this big fool.

"Groot, why are you doing this?"

"Why?" Rocket said sadly.

"I am Groot."

Inside the tree ball, Groot gently produced a tender bud to wipe away the tears flowing from Rocket's eyes.

Just as the two were about to stage a tearful parting scene.

Suddenly, a magnetic male voice came from outside the tree ball.

"Stop it. If you use more force, the two idiots inside will die!"

"Yes, master."

Suddenly, Groot felt a lightness all over his body.

The tree ball, which had been constantly bursting due to the pressure, suddenly stopped bursting because the pressure disappeared.

Then the two inside the tree ball felt a sway, and at the same time, the familiar male voice came from outside the tree ball again.

"Come out, you ferocious little raccoon. Aren't you bored staying inside?"

While Zane was speaking, Lorna also spoke with a smile.

"Come out, we mean no harm."

Rocket's keen intuition could clearly feel that there was indeed no malice in the voice outside, but instead, it was filled with a thick smile.

Inside the tree ball, the innocent Groot also seemed to feel that he might not have to die, and joyfully said to Rocket,

"I am Groot."
