Chapter 99 I'm Here

If Ronan had not violated the contract and had given the Power Stone to Thanos as agreed after obtaining it.

What would the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy be like?

Obviously, Xandar had no power to resist the combined forces of Ronan and Thanos.

Even if they had the help of the Ravagers and a small group of people from the Guardians of the Galaxy to help resist, they were no match for the combined forces of Ronan and Thanos.

Let alone the two-man coalition, in the original story, Ronan alone almost destroyed all the ground defense forces of Xandar.

I don't know how this little power could have concluded a peace agreement with the Kree Empire.

Thanos's army was mighty, and with Ronan's undead army, the entire periphery of Xandar was surrounded by the combined forces of these two people.

Their purpose has always been clear.

Destroy Xandar.

This is Ronan's purpose and his agreement with Thanos.

If it was just Thanos alone, Thanos would at most destroy half of the life on this planet, but because Ronan gave the Power Stone to Thanos as agreed, Thanos was a man who kept his promises.

So it is understandable that things turned out like this.

"Oh, shit shit shit shit! Kevin hasn't come yet!!"

Star-Lord, who was driving a Nova Corps fighter and exchanging fire with the enemy in the air, shouted into the communicator.

Rocket's voice came from the communicator:

"Who knows what he is doing! Maybe he ran away after knowing that Thanos and Ronan have joined forces!"

"Huh?!"

During the argument between the two, a voice interrupted:

"Peter! I only promised you to deal with Ronan, but I didn't say I would help you deal with Thanos. If you don't find a way to deal with the combined forces of the two of them, I'm going to leave with my men!!"

This is Yondu.

During the period when Kevin entered the crystal to change his job, everything else was similar to the movie.

Star-Lord and Gamora were defeated, and they were about to die while floating in the universe. They were "rescued" by Yondu at the critical moment.

Then, under Star-Lord's persuasion, Yondu agreed to help Star-Lord to deal with Ronan.

The premise is that Star-Lord will give him the Cosmic Spirit Orb.

After all, this orb represents 4 billion.

This is the agreement between Star-Lord and Yondu.

But that agreement was only for Ronan, and it didn't mention that Thanos would get involved in this matter.

So Yondu wanted to run away.

Even if he was very proud of Star-Lord as his adopted son, he should at least be responsible for his men now.

He couldn't let these old brothers who had followed him all his life die on Xandar.

"I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it!!"

Star-Lord yelled into the communicator.

He understood why Yondu wanted to retreat, but what would be the use even if he could think of a way now?

Ronan and Thanos did not use any conspiracy or trickery, nor did they plot against Xandar. They attacked Xandar with upright power and an unstoppable army.

Any strategy is useless in the face of absolute power. No matter how Star-Lord uses his "intelligence", he can't think of a way to stop the coalition of the two parties.

Even if Kevin, who is currently recognized as their strongest fighter, comes, it probably won't work.

Or how to deal with such a huge army with personal strength alone?

Star-Lord couldn't think of a solution, and the Nova Corps seemed to be unable to think of a solution either.

So they made the worst plan and sent a message to Star-Lord and others:

"... All units currently engaged in aerial combat should withdraw from the front line as soon as possible. The planetary shield engine will be activated soon. Units that fail to withdraw in time will be isolated outside Xandar. Repeat..."

This is a public message.

It is a public message to all members of the same side who are currently engaged in combat.

The Nova Corps can't hold on.

No one can hold on under the combination of Ronan and Thanos, not even the Kree Empire.

Xandar had no choice but to activate the planetary shield engine and create a giant planetary shield to keep the enemy out.

"What the hell? Planetary shield engine?!"

This was the first time Star-Lord heard this name.

After a while, he heard Rocket's slightly tired voice:

"Nova Corps, they are planning to lock us all up here."

"What do you mean?"

"Nova Corps' planetary shield is one of the strongest in the universe. Once it is activated, we will all be trapped here within fifty years! Quill"

"What?! Fifty years!? Wait, where did you get this information?"

"Do you think my reputation as a genius Rocket is just a gimmick? How many times do you think I have hacked into Xandar's computing system? And that's not the point! The point is that we are all trapped here! Idiot!!"

Rocket roared in the communicator, but then sighed as if he had lost his strength:

"...However, it seems that this is the only way it can be done now."

"Are you kidding?! Fifty years!? I can't bear to stay in a place where I can't see the sun for fifty years!"

But Star-Lord cannot accept the current results.

He is just a human on earth. The lifespan of humans on earth is generally only seventy or eighty years old, and the oldest one is only about a hundred years old.

Star-Lord is now in his thirties. If he becomes an old man in fifty years, how will he control the universe?

"Then you should find a way to drive these guys away! I knew I shouldn't have rescued you in the first place! Damn it! Why hasn't that guy Kevin come yet!!"

After Rocket finished speaking, he started complaining again.

Star-Lord stopped talking and fell into silence.

Indeed, if the planetary shield had not been activated, they would all have died here today.

And if the planetary shield is turned on, although everyone will have to live in the sunless Xandar star for the next fifty years, they can still survive for at least fifty years.

And maybe there will be a turning point during this period, and someone will repel Ronan and Thanos?

Besides, what Star-Lord is talking to Rocket now doesn't count.

The person who gave the order to activate the planetary shield engine was Commander-in-Chief Nova. At this moment, the commander-in-chief had already activated the planetary shield.

Those who are still on the front line can see that on both sides of the planet, strong and thick shields are slowly rising from both sides and closing in the middle.

Seeing that the shield was going to protect the entire Xandar planet, Thanos and Ronan from above immediately ordered the army to move closer to the planet.

The star battleships that covered the sky tried to enter the interior of Xandar, but the speed of the shield seemed slow, but in fact it was faster than anything else.

Before the intruders from above could enter the battleship, the planetary shield had already closed.

A thick barrier blocks the Xandar star, enclosing the entire Xandar star within a planetary shield.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared in the crack of the planetary shield.

There was no sunlight in the sky, only a faint light projected from behind the barrier.

It was as if thick dark clouds covered the sky.

The fleet of the Nova Corps began to return, and Star-Lord in the air stared at the barrier in the sky in a trance.

Perhaps because he felt that the current atmosphere was too heavy, he also made a joke in the communication channel:

"... At least we can die fifty years later than those guys outside."

"Quill." Rocket commented on Star-Lord's words: "... You are too stupid."

"..."

Star-Lord had long been accustomed to Rocket's sharp words. Hearing Rocket say so, he just shrugged and followed everyone to the ground.

The planetary shield was opened, and they had to stay here for fifty years. Compared with discussing how people outside were doing, it was most important to discuss how to live on the sunless Xandar.

When they landed on the ground, the Nova Corps had already gathered on the side, and the predators brought by Yondu also gathered in one place, staring at the Nova Corps covetously.

The Guardians of the Galaxy were in the middle of the two groups, in an awkward position.

"I'm Groot."

Groot, who came down with Rocket, looked at the teams on both sides, which were not in a good mood, and said to Rocket.

Rocket sighed: "I know, I know, this is not a safe place, but there is no other safe place besides here."

"The unsafe place is still behind."

Gamora, who landed on the ground with everyone else, walked out of the fighter plane and looked up at the sky:

"The planetary shield doesn't seem to be as strong as you said."

“?”

Rocket, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head.

Rocket was not the only one who raised his head. All the Plunderers and the Nova Corps looked up at the sky at this moment.

Then there was a commotion.

“Oh my God, the planetary shield… is broken?!”

“This is impossible! The planetary shield is the highest technology of the Nova Corps, how can this…”

“It’s the Power Stone.”

Star-Lord came over, looking at the purple lines in the sky, and murmured.

Above the sky, the purple lines kept spreading on the planetary shield. Under the erosion of the purple power, the planetary shield was like a fragile eggshell, which was easily pierced by the fingers of an adult.

The indestructible shield turned into powder in the blink of an eye, and the shadow of Thanos holding a fist glove could be vaguely seen in the sky.

It was he who broke the shield.

The indestructible shield in the eyes of the Nova Corps was as fragile as paper under the power of the Power Stone.

After all, this is the Power Stone.

The six gems contain offensive gems with extreme power and extreme defense!

"It looks like we are really going to die here today, Quill."

The purple light reflected in Rocket's pupils, and Rocket murmured to Star-Lord beside him.

This time Star-Lord said nothing. He silently took out the double guns on his waist, clicked the protective shield on his head, and looked up at the sky.

The final battle is inevitable. Since there is no chance to hide behind the planetary shield, then let's fight Thanos to the death.

At least you can die gloriously that way.

"I never thought that one day I would die to protect this place..."

Star-Lord said self-deprecatingly.

Everyone was ready to fight to the last moment.

But at this moment——

"Hello, hello? Can you hear me? Peter? Rocket?"

A familiar voice came from Star-Lord's communicator.

Star-Lord and Rocket were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other. Star-Lord immediately connected the communication to the mask and asked:

"...Kevin?"

"Hmm, you should still be alive, right?"

"Alive, where are you now? Forget it, no matter where you are, you don't have to come, run as soon as possible, run as far as you can."

Considering the friendship with Kevin who escaped from prison together, Star-Lord didn't want Kevin to come here to die meaninglessly.

As many as can run away, one is better.

But Kevin on the other end of the communication rejected Star-Lord's proposal:

"This...I'm afraid it won't work."

"?"

Star-Lord had a question mark on his head. Gamora, who had been staring at the sky, suddenly grabbed his arm and pointed to the sky:

"Peter...you...look over there!"

Star-Lord raised his head and looked at the sky.

Above the sky that was originally occupied by Thanos and Ronan's army, in the universe, a whale as big as a planet floated in the universe.

No one knew where the whale came from and when it appeared in the sky.

But everyone could see that the whale opened its bloody mouth to the dense fleet in the sky.

At the same time, Kevin's voice came to Star-Lord's ears again:

"After all, I'm here."

Woo——

As Kevin's voice fell, the whale in the sky made a cry that resounded throughout the entire Xandar star.

The next second, the whale, as huge as a planet, closed its bloody mouth, as if eating a group of wandering small fish, and swept away the dense black spots in the sky.

It ate the fleet of Thanos and Ronan!

And Star-Lord and others saw Kevin's figure on the top of the whale's head!

At this most critical moment.

Kevin has arrived.
