Solar system, near Mercury.
The space suddenly sank, and then a spaceship suddenly squeezed out of the depression. This ship looked very miserable, with energy constantly leaking out, flashing like sparks of light in the dark space.
"He's saved!" Everyone in the spaceship was smashed to pieces. Only Star-Lord, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was intact. He has a seat belt on him.
"Ugh... I really want to vomit..." The big red-skinned man managed to get up, but immediately held his stomach and held on to the wall, reluctantly saying.
"Wait a minute!" Star-Lord shouted anxiously: "Go to the toilet! Go to the toilet! Don't vomit here!"
"Ugh... I can't help it anymore... ugh!
! "
"No!
!
"Xing-Lord shouted desperately.
The talking raccoon picked up an unknown metal ball next to him and threw it at it.
"That's disgusting! What did you eat?!
"
The green-skinned beauty covered her nose and said, "Swamp Frog...he ate a whole swamp frog meal yesterday!"
"Groot!
! "At this moment, a potted plant on the side suddenly spoke.
"Don't say bad words! Groot!" Rocket Raccoon yelled at the potted plant.
There is a very, very small sapling in the pot, and the sapling actually has a human shape.
"Emo, Groot!
"The little guy shouted very unconvinced.
"Yes, yes, I know. That thing is disgusting." Rocket Raccoon: "And the smell...why would anyone like that thing? I agree that that thing can poison people."
The swamp frog meal is actually an alien food made from an alien species that looks very much like a toad. That thing is very similar to a toad, but even more disgusting. The status of this thing in the universe is a bit similar to food like stinky tofu or canned herring. Those who can accept it will naturally love it to death. If they can't accept it... then it is impossible to accept it no matter what.
"Ah! It feels much more comfortable. Hahahaha!" The big man obviously didn't listen to other people's complaints.
"Drax! You damn bastard! You have to clean the spaceship for me!" If Star-Lord hadn't been driving the spacecraft, he would have pounced on him immediately and killed that bastard.
To a Predator, the ship is everything. After all, most Predators spend their entire lives on ships.
So the spaceship has a very different meaning to them.
Star-Lord's special name is the Milano. He has been driving the "Milano" since he was 10 years old. This ship is like a family to him. It turned out that the Milano was damaged in Ronan's last invasion of Xandar. Originally, Xandar planned to give Star-Lord a more advanced aircraft.
But Star-Lord refused and asked Xandar to help him repair Milano.
Of course, Xandar is no problem. Even though Milano is almost a pile of scrap metal, it is not difficult for Xandar, a planet with prosperous technology. Not only did they repair the Milano, they also renovated and upgraded the spacecraft. Otherwise Milano would not have been able to escape the pursuit of those predators.
As for the new 'Milano', Star-Lord is still in the new stage, just like when someone buys a new mobile phone, they will cherish it very much for the first one or two months, for fear of a little bump, but after this stage, the mobile phone can fly around .
"Where are we now?" The green-skinned girl did not pay attention to the noise of a few stinky men, but calmly analyzed their current situation.
The green-skinned girl is called Gamora, and her full name is very long, Gamora Jean Hubeli Ben Titan. Her identity is very special. She is the adopted daughter of Thanos, but at the same time Thanos is also his enemy.
Thanos promotes a radical population policy throughout the universe. He believes that the reason why various civilizations in the universe go to war is ultimately due to the competition for resources. The unrestricted growth of a civilization's population will naturally lead to a shortage of resources. The shortage of resources will lead to disputes and thus disputes.
A bit like Malthusian population theory, "Malthusian population theory" is actually a repetitive cycle system. According to Malthusian population theory, a decrease in population will lead to wealth per capita, and an increase in wealth per capita will lead to an increase in population, and then a decrease in wealth per capita, and a decrease in population, and so on.
However, Thanos seems to have only seen the first half of this theory, and even invented a new theory based on this theory - the theory of universe balance.
To put it simply, he wants to randomly wipe out half of the population in the universe in an absolutely fair way, so that the resources will be enough. There would be no need for disputes.
He sees himself as the enforcer of the balance of the universe, akin to God.
So every time he conquers a planet, he will kill half of the planet's population in the fairest way. Then he left gracefully...
At least that's what he thought.
Anyway, the planets he harmed thought he was sick.
People may not be afraid of bad guys, but they are definitely afraid of a crazy and bad psychopath.
Even in order to pursue his ideals more efficiently, Thanos wanted to collect infinite gems.
Speaking of Gamora, she is from the Zehouberry tribe. Unfortunately, they were targeted by Thanos, and even more unfortunately, they couldn't defeat Thanos. So Thanos implemented a population balancing policy. What was even more desperate was that Thanos gave the young Gamora the choice of who should die.
The method is also very simple, guess the coin. The front is one group, the aspect is another group.
The coin thrown by Gamora caused the death of all her family members at the hands of Thanos.
Then Thanos took Gamora away and taught her carefully, raising her like his own daughter. She was even sent as a supervisor to cooperate with Ronan in executing the infinite gem collection plan. By the way, Gamora's half-sister Nebula is also known, but this person is not important so I don't need to mention it.
Under such circumstances, as long as Gamora was a normal person, it would be impossible for her to truly fall in love with Thanos, so Gamora unexpectedly betrayed Thanos, killed Ronan with Star-Lord and the others, and The Power Stone remains on Xandar.
Let me introduce the others a little here. The big man is called Drax. His planet was deemed worthless and hostile by Ronan, and he was exterminated. Drax became the only survivor.
A talking raccoon called Rocket Raccoon. It is a modified creature created by a boring alien civilization. It is a genetically enhanced experimental body code-named 89p13. It is a modified creature created by mixing raccoons and a bunch of messy genes.
A potted plant named Groot. A very strange creature, Groot was born on planet Groot possesses a high degree of wisdom and the unique physical characteristics of tree people - super regeneration ability. Only a part of the branches need to be watered and fertilized to grow into a big tree. In addition, he also has super strength and defense, and can pass through himself. It can grow into a giant and stretch its body parts freely like rubber, allowing the body made of trees to extend freely and attack enemies. It can also control other plants and heal others by spreading spores.
As for how such an awesome race became extinct... no one knows, because Groot can only say: "im groot".
Only those who are very familiar with him can understand what he means through the intonation and slight changes in the tone of this sentence. So don't expect to get too complicated information from him. Previously on Xandar, Groot sacrificed himself to protect them. Rocket Raccoon found a twig from Groot's remains, and then the twig grew into Baby Groot.
Finally, there is Star-Lord. He is from Earth, as I said before. His name on Earth is Peter Quill.
"We seem to have... arrived in the solar system!
! "
Star-Lord shouted in surprise. Through the cosmic star map, Star-Lord quickly determined his location.
In fact, there is no specific location of the solar system in the cosmic star map... This is a truly untouchable location in the universe. Except for a very few explorers, no one really comes here. Star-Lord is sure this is the solar system and still sees the Earth!
The sun is not unusual. There are many stars in the entire Milky Way. Except for some differences in size, most of them are similar in length.
But Earth is different.
"So, we're safe?"
Gamora breathed a sigh of relief. After they came out of Shandar, they were either being hunted or on the way to be hunted. The Kree Empire offered them a very high bounty. So much so that predators and bounty hunters from all over the universe are targeting them.
"That's it for the time being." Star-Lord looked at his home planet, Earth, with mixed feelings. He thought he would never be able to return here in his life. "Neither the predators nor the bounty hunters have the star map to come here. Moreover, this place falls under the jurisdiction of Asgard. Without their consent, any intruder will be in bad luck."
The reason why Ronan let Earth go so easily back then was not just because of Carol. No matter how powerful Carol is, she is just one person. If nothing else, the power of the Ronan family alone can equal the power of the entire solar system.
The real reason is because of the existence of Asgard. If you sneak in a few people, Asgard also takes a nap, so they can't stare here all the time. But you come here with a large fleet... Unless you use the Cosmic Cube to open a portal like the Chitauri, otherwise you will really look like a blind Asgardian!
In that case, it would become a war between the Kree Empire and Asgard.
Although Asgard is not expanding very much, its strength is there. The Cree Empire dares to come, but it can't be eaten by the precipice.
Under the rule of supreme wisdom, the Kree Empire would never do such a stupid thing. That would only benefit the enemies of the Kree Empire.
"Then we..." Gamora was still worried. As the adopted daughter of Thanos, Gamora knows many secrets that ordinary people don't know.
There are not many forces in the universe that can be feared by Thanos. This guy is a terrorist. He is really not afraid of ordinary interstellar empires. They are terrorists after all. But he was very afraid of Asgard, and would never even set foot in the solar system.
Gamora understands the horror of Asgard better than most people.
"Don't worry, I'm from Earth. No matter how arrogant Asgard is, they can't allow me to go home to visit my relatives, right?"
Rocket Raccoon heard this and asked curiously, "By the way, Quill, do you have any relatives on Earth?"
Star-Lord was stunned. He thought carefully: "I was only 9 years old when I left the earth. I can't remember many things clearly..."
Star-Lord remembered that he had a mother, but she died of cancer. Just before he left Earth. His mother had parents, his grandparents, but more than twenty years later...he was not sure whether the two old people were still alive.
As for other relatives...he really has no impression of them.
Speaking of this, Gamora felt strange: "Why were you taken away from the earth by Yondu? I remember that the predators have iron laws. The predators can do anything illegal, but they cannot do business with children."
Although the plunderers are pirates, they are lawless. But in fact, the reason why they are collectively called predators is because they have rules. These rules are the iron laws of predators. Once these iron laws are violated, they will be spurned by all predators and will be deprived of their honor as predators. .
Although it seems strange that a group of alien pirates would care about honor. But this thing happens to be the consensus in the universe.
Although plunderers are pirates, that doesn't mean that all space pirates are plunderers.
The predators value this anyway.
The most important thing for predators is that they are not allowed to do illegal business with children, such as killing children, buying and selling children, etc.
Yondu wanders around the universe. Although he was exiled by other predators, he still considers himself a predator. And has always hoped to return to the ranks of predators. He cares about this very much, and this is what Gamora can't understand. If he cares so much, why did he kidnap Quill in the first place?
"Actually, I don't know..." Star-Lord was naturally curious about why he was taken away from the earth by Yondu. He didn't know how many times he had asked this question since he was a child. But Yondu always threatened him, saying that he would eat him if he asked again... When he grew up, Yondu insisted that it was an accident. They were just smuggling some Dongxie from Earth, and accidentally took Star-Lord with them.
Although there are many loopholes, Yondu refused to talk about it, and Star-Lord couldn't do anything either.
"Do you think the earth will welcome us?" At this time, the big man Drax thought of something and asked.
After all, bounty hunter groups like them wandering around the universe are not popular.
"Well..." Star-Lord thought about the earth in his impression, and then said: "It's okay, my hometown is a very backward place. We have even been arguing about whether there are aliens. Let's be careful when the time comes. If we hide our features, people on Earth will never discover us.”
The earth in Star-Lord's impression is still in the 1980s. After spending so many years in the alien world, to be honest, Star-Lord actually despises his hometown... After all, he is used to the big city, and he suddenly returned and has not been back for many years. The countryside is always a bit disgusting.
