Xandar Star, Capital Central Control Room.
The automatic door opened, and a centurion walked into the command room and began to report.
"Your Majesty the Queen, the Nova Corps is in place. No matter what the intentions of those marauders are, we can keep the enemy out of the planet."
Queen Adora, standing in front of the holographic screen, sighed and said: "If it's just the Marauders, I'm not too worried. The Nova Corps will beat them to pieces. But, if the one named Quill What people say is true, Ronan has obtained the Infinity Stones, and Xandar may be in danger of extinction."
"As long as we can prevent Ronan from landing, he will have no chance to use the infinite stones." Centurion Romandai said hurriedly when he saw that the atmosphere at the scene was relatively solemn.
Adora also realized it, took a deep breath and said: "That's right, no matter who the enemy is or what they plan to do, we cannot retreat. We must block the enemy from the planet. In addition, once the war really starts, start it immediately Emergency preparedness and evacuation of people outside the city."
On the holographic screen, many stars suddenly appeared out of thin air. After taking a closer look, you will find that they are all fighter planes.
"Your Majesty, the Predator fighter jets have appeared. Do you want to attack them?"
Queen Adora hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Not yet. We are not sure of their intentions yet, so we need to do a good job of defense first. If they dare to attack Xandar, we will fight back immediately."
After receiving the order, the centurions immediately split up and made preparations. But after waiting for a long time, they only saw this group of fighter planes floating in the sky, with their backs to the planet, obviously guarding against incoming enemies from space.
"Centurion Romandai, contact the man named Quill and ask when Ronan will come."
Quill was obviously very excited after being connected, which meant that their chances of survival were slightly higher.
"I'm glad you trusted the news I sent you, Romandai Centurion."
Roman Dai asked with a straight face and meticulously: "Before you and Ronan go to war, I won't completely believe what you say. When did you say Ronan would attack?"
"Uh..." Quill's expression froze for a moment, "According to normal circumstances, he should have arrived. But our detection radar did not detect Ronan's battleship at all. I don't know if he is planning secretly again. What kind of conspiracy, after all, Thanos is standing behind him."
Gamora poked her head over and interjected: "Thanos is determined to get the Power Stone, and I don't know what kind of support he will give Ronan. Even if hundreds of battleships appear, I will never be surprised. You thousands of Don’t underestimate it.”
Queen Adora nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Thank you for the information you provided. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, the Nova Legion will always remember your friendship."
As he was talking, an alarm suddenly sounded, a huge red spot appeared on the holographic screen, and Ronan's battleship appeared.
------------------
Neither Zhan Liu nor Zhan Liu knew that the war hammer on the ground had the Infinity Stones on it, so Nebula successfully obtained Ronan's war hammer, then pointed at the Power Stone on it and yelled at the two of them with anger.
"Do you know what this is?"
"This is the Power Stone!"
"It's one of the six infinity stones!"
"This gem can destroy everything!"
"If you don't want to die with me, get out of here right now!"
As the Valkyrie of Asgard, Valkyrie certainly knew the power of the Infinity Stones and immediately stopped attacking. Zhan Liu glanced at her strangely, and then Valkyrie translated Nebula's words.
"The power stone?"
After Zhan Liu heard the name, he immediately understood the plot and characters. The bald cyberpunk woman in front of her is Thanos' daughter Nebula, and the guy lying on the ground wailing must be Ronan the Accuser.
This should be the plot where Ronan just got the Power Stone and planned to destroy the Xandar planet. However, Star-Lord attracted attention with his awkward dance, and was successfully overturned by Rocket Raccoon.
Ronan died so unjustly!
The power gem is a good thing, although it is of no use to him.
In terms of strength alone, Zhan Liu can destroy the planet. But this infinite gem has another advantage, that is, its weight is high enough. As the cornerstone of the Marvel Universe, nothing is more important than these six stones.
If Zhan Liu had had a power gem in his hand when facing the dual-core space battle fort that day, he would not have been helpless against the shield formed by the space gem. In the end, if he hadn't been able to beat an ox across a mountain, the winner would have been Dr. Zola.
When he first got the ether particles, Zhan Liu couldn't use them because he had no magic power, so he wasn't interested and gave them to Asgard. But now that this power stone can be used even with a club like Ronan, there is no reason why he can't use it.
Nebula had been looking at the enemy in front of her very carefully. When she heard them communicating in a language she didn't understand, she hurriedly switched the function of the interstellar translator to hear what they were saying. Then she saw Zhan Liu's eyes suddenly light up, and he reached out to grab the warhammer in her hand.
"Go to hell!" Seeing that the peace talks failed, Xingyun immediately swung his warhammer and hit Zhan Liu on the body.
She is very confident in the power of the Power Stone and believes that as long as the enemy is hit by the war hammer, the enemy will die. As for whether she can survive the power of the power gem's explosion, it can only depend on luck.
But the plan is very rich, and the reality is very skinny.
With a flip of his wrist, Zhan Liu let the hammer head pass and reached out to grab the handle of the hammer.
"Combat requires skill, it's not just a head-on confrontation." Zhan Liu laughed at Xingyun, then with a slight exertion in his hand, he snatched the war hammer away.
Zhan Liu said, half sighing and half self-aware: "If it is not your own strength, it will be vain after all. External things can only be used, not relied on."
As he spoke, he reached out and crushed the hammer head, holding the power gem in his hand.
Before Nebula could wake up from the fear of losing her war hammer, she saw that her enemy was stupid enough to touch the Power Stone with her hand, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing with excitement:
"Haha... you must be so stupid!"
"The power gem cannot be touched with hands, otherwise... otherwise..."
Then she was surprised to find that Zhan Liu's hand holding the gem was unharmed. She watched with dull eyes as Zhan Liu tossed the gems around like marbles, without any sign of destruction.
"How, how is it possible?" Xingyun's eyes almost popped out of his head.
In her entire life, she has only seen one person who can touch the Infinity Stones with bare hands without dying, and that is her incubus, the source of all her pain, and her adoptive father Thanos.
But even if someone is as powerful as Thanos, the world-destroying overlord, if he picks up the Infinity Stones, he may not be able to be as relaxed as the guy in front of him, right?
But in fact, invisible to the naked eye, the violent power of the Power Stone has been injected into Zhan Liu's body, constantly destroying his cells, while Zhan Liu keeps urging the cells to reorganize, and continues to process Repair and rebirth.
Zhan Liu was not tossing the power gem for fun, but using the action of throwing it up and down, he allowed the power gem to leave his body briefly to buy more time for his body to repair, so as not to crack his whole body and bleed out. , all the strength was thrown away.
However, Nebula and Valkyrie didn't know this, and were completely shocked by Zhan Liu's effortless appearance.
Fortunately for Valkyrie, he has seen Zhan Liu's tyranny before, and he doesn't think it's too strange now. He just raised the evaluation standard a little higher, from the standard of the God of Death Hela to the level of the God King Odin. .
But Nebula was not mentally prepared for this, and was immediately stunned, realizing that Zhan Liu was actually at the same level as Thanos, a powerful man at the level of the overlord of the universe. She had always had a psychological shadow towards Thanos, but now that she saw Zhan Liu of the same level, she immediately felt paralyzed.
The brave warriors of the Kree Empire still rushed forward one after another, trying to rescue their commander, but their bravery could not be eaten. The only result of their rushing forward was to add some achievements to Valkyrie.
The area around Ronan was already piled with corpses, making it difficult for the soldiers behind to get in. But they have no other choice. If Ronan dies, they can choose a temporary commander in accordance with the Kree Empire's wartime regulations. But Ronan was not dead yet and was howling miserably. He sounded like he was full of energy and showed no signs of exhaustion.
They couldn't win after fighting, couldn't be saved, and couldn't escape. In desperation, they had no choice but to turn their attention to the person with the highest status besides Ronan - Nebula. I hope she can make a decision, for example, surrender or something.
Nebula's will has been completely destroyed by Zhan Liu's performance. She swallowed her saliva and said dryly: "Ronan serves the overlord of the universe Thanos, and the power stone also belongs to Thanos. You can't just let him go like this." It takes away.”
Her strong-willed appearance made Valkyrie laugh. "If you speak louder, I will believe what you say."
Nebula took a deep breath and calmed down, "What I said is true. I can contact Thanos now and ask him to talk to you."
Zhan Liu still tossed the power gem in his hand up and down, glanced at her, and said:
"This treasure in the world has always been inhabited by virtuous people. This power gem is destined to me. It is impossible for you to escape in the name of Thanos. From today on, you are my slaves. Thanos If he is dissatisfied, he might as well ask him to come to me in person to settle the score."
Xingyun spent a long time on the spot, but she didn't dare to refuse.
People who are truly not afraid of death would have died at the hands of Thanos long ago and would not survive today. To put it bluntly, all of Thanos' men are greedy for life and afraid of death, and Nebula is no exception.
After subduing Nebula and the Kree behind her, Zhan Liu ordered the battleship to continue moving forward, heading straight for Xandar.
This Ronan's battleship is much cooler than the private luxury spaceship that Zhan Liu got from Gao Tianzun, but it consumes a lot of energy. Among other things, the energy required for flight is ten thousand times that of the private luxury spaceship. In addition, there are various weapons and ammunition, daily maintenance, food and water, etc., which are all astronomical figures.
When Ronan was the leader of the Kree accusation group, he naturally had the Kree Empire to provide support. After leaving the Kree Empire, Ronan could only rely on looting to obtain energy blocks.
Zhan Liu now particularly misses the human life battery developed by Zola. As long as ten or eight warriors with a magnetic field rotating in the sky are stuffed into this battleship, it will definitely be used as a perpetual motion machine.
But he doesn't have that kind of technology, and he can't get magnetic field warriors to use it here, so he has to use the normal method to go to Xandar to replenish supplies, and then he can go to Sovereign to take revenge on them for destroying his private luxury spaceship. matter. Moreover, the energy battery of Sovereign Star seems to be very high-tech and can be produced in one go.
After the energy is sufficient, then drive Ronan's battleship back to Earth. Wouldn't that be more popular than the previous small spaceship?
As for the war on the earth, without Dr. Zola’s Space War God, it should have been over long ago, right? It doesn't matter if it's not over, Zhan Liu doesn't care too much about who wins or loses.
Anyway, it's all internal strife between his own disciples, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Tony and the others have a closer relationship with Zhanliu, so it would be better if they could win, but there would be no problem if Killmonger's side wins.
In this way, the battleship arrived a while later than in the original plot.
When this battleship appeared in the airspace of Xandar, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Just as Xandar was preparing to go to war, an open communication was suddenly sent. Not only did Queen Adora receive it, but the Marauders also received it.
"I'm sure that Ronan must have wanted to say something harsh and vent his revenge for the upcoming destruction of Xandar." Quill curled his lips and was very disdainful of Ronan's behavior, but he still answered the call smoothly.
As soon as the signal was connected, Gamora was shocked, "Nebula?"
Nebula had a sullen face, very unhappy, but reluctantly announced: "This battleship no longer belongs to Ronan the Accuser. From today on, this battleship, and..."
She turned her head and glanced to the side unhappily, and continued: "And all the creatures on the battleship belong to the overlord of the universe from the earth, the great ultimate leader of the Infinite Sect, the Earth Martial God, His Excellency Zhan Liu."
After finishing speaking, the camera turned to Zhan Liu sitting on Ronan's command throne, and Ronan wailing not far from Zhan Liu's feet.
This news was so exciting that everyone was dumbfounded.
Queen Adora hurriedly asked the people around her:
"Have any of you heard of this overlord of the universe?"
"Which empire is this Earth the main star of?"
"What is the personality of this guy named Zhan Liu? Look at the bloody man at his feet, he seems to be very cruel!"
Everyone hurriedly searched for a while, and after a long time of effort, they finally found the relevant information.
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
"According to the wanted order from Sovereign Star, this so-called cosmic overlord named Zhan Liu is actually a man with inferior genes and a despicable person. He gathered his accomplices to steal Sovereign Star's super energy battery, and set up a trap to sneak attack on Sovereign Star. The Marauders of the Vaelin Guards!”
The speed of quantum communication is instantaneous. No matter how huge the universe is, there will be no delay in quantum communication. Therefore, the wanted notices issued by the Sovereigns reached all corners of the universe long before Zhan Liu arrived.
"..." Queen Adora was speechless for a while.
"In other words, this so-called overlord of the universe is actually fake and is just a trick played by Ronan to deceive us?"
"Not only that, Her Majesty the Queen!" The assistant also checked and filled in the gaps: "Since this person named Zhan Liu is a predator, he is probably acquainted with Yondu and the others, or even an accomplice."
"I suspect that the so-called Yondu led the marauders to help us stop Ronan is probably fake and part of a deceptive tactic. Maybe these marauders will stab us in the back at some point."
None of them recognized that the bloody gourd at Zhan Liu's feet was Ronan who had been skinned and had his limbs cut off.
"Stay alert, do not initiate attacks, and pay close attention to the movements of the predators."
On the Xandar side, they were just skeptical, but on the Marauder side, they didn't believe it at all.
Rocket smiled mischievously, and the tip of his claws poked Quill's butt, "Hey, Quill, that's your fellow countryman, come up and get close..."
These words touched Drax's point of laughter. He was laughing so hard.
Quill rolled his eyes and muttered hesitantly, "Maybe it's possible that Earth's technology has advanced very quickly in the years since I've been away..."
Groot waved the branches above his head and said the same dialogue: "I am Groot!"
Only the little raccoon and Thor can understand this Groot language. The others had no idea what he was talking about and just pretended it didn't exist. Only the little raccoon jumped up with joy, patted Groot's body and laughed.
Only Gamora was normal. She stared closely at Nebula's ugly face in the communication and the humiliation and fear hidden in Nebula's eyes. She said tremblingly: "There is only one person who can make Nebula feel scared."
"Only Thanos in this world can make Nebula so obedient."
"We must be careful. From now on, our enemy may not be Ronan, but Thanos!"
"What?" A group of people were shocked and their hearts ached.
Thanos' reputation cannot be ignored.
Only a fool like Drax still waved his arms and shouted: "I want to kill Thanos!" However, no one took his stupid words seriously.
At the same time, in another fighter plane, Yondu opened his mouth, revealing a pair of rotten teeth, and laughed loudly:
"Earth?"
"What kind of cosmic overlord can appear in that broken place in the corner of the universe?"
"This is obviously an identity that I found this term in somewhere and then made it up randomly!"
"If I hadn't been to Earth, I might have been deceived by them."
"I don't care if he is the overlord of the universe or not, as long as the cosmic spirit ball is on that battleship, then he is my enemy!"
"Brothers, stop talking nonsense and come on!"
Following Yondu's order, the marauders responded in large numbers, launched their fighter planes, and pounced towards the battleship.
Facing the swarming fighters of the Predators, Valkyrie and Nebula both turned to look at Zhan Liu.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"They are attacking, just fight back!"
"Don't expect me to take action. If you let me take action in everything, then why should I support you losers?"
After being scolded a few times by Zhan Liu, Nebula turned around and began to issue combat missions, allowing the Kree warships to start fighting back.
Valkyrie rolled his eyes, took a wine bottle that he found somewhere, poured wine into his mouth, and muttered:
"Don't look at me, my Pegasus mount has been killed long ago."
She stood behind Zhan Liu, not going to fight anyway.
Asgardian warriors can fight hand-to-hand with knives, but they have no interest in launching battleships to bombard them.
Zhan Liu didn't care about this. Anyway, now that there are Kree people working under him, there is no shortage of her.
The aliens will die endlessly, so don’t worry about battle losses. More and more lackeys will definitely come to seek refuge in the future, so don’t worry about no one being available. As for the problem of mixed good and bad among this group of people, Zhan Liu doesn't even care. Anyway, an obedient dog is a good dog, so why should he care whether he is good or bad?
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Once you get used to asking others to do everything, you no longer like to do it yourself.
Only the kind of guy with a defective mind would do everything by himself even though he has so many subordinates. He would go on the scene to kill people and do everything himself, making himself look like a street gangster.
Zhan Liu was sitting on Ronan's throne, watching with cold eyes the Kree and the predators fighting together.
In fact, when he was watching the movie, Zhan Liu didn't understand how it was possible that as a regular army member of the three major empires in the universe, he couldn't even destroy a group of star thieves. Who gave Yondu the courage to steal Ronan's things?
But now that he was there, he knew why.
There are only a few battleships of Ronan's level even in the Kree Empire. It is really not something that ordinary small planets can afford. Just like aircraft carriers on Earth, even if small countries can afford to buy them, they cannot afford to maintain them.
Fighters use energy shields for defense, and energy shields require energy blocks to maintain. Without the support of energy blocks, the fighter's shield will naturally not be durable enough.
Since Ronan broke away from the Kree Empire, he has been severely lacking in energy blocks. Although some supplements can be obtained through plunder, the number is too small. It is acceptable to maintain the daily use of giant battleships. However, once a war begins, the energy will be seriously scarce and the successors will be weak.
If Ronan uses the energy blocks intensively, the number of fighters that can fight will not be enough. If a sufficient number of fighters is maintained, the energy shield of a single fighter will be relatively weak.
Although the Kree warriors can make up for some of the gaps through good tactics and driving abilities, in large-scale battles, this gap will play a minimal role.
The Predators, on the other hand, use small fighters and do not need to use large warships at all. They require less energy and can fully supply the energy shields of the fighters during combat.
In short, everything is about money.
