Chapter 255

"Hey, you guys have to help me, we're friends, aren't we?"

Star-Lord knew Ronan wouldn't listen to his explanation, so he had to quickly ask his companions for help, "Ronan is a bad guy, and dealing with him is a good deed."

Gamora smiled enigmatically.

Although she had also decided to deal with Ronan, she still crossed her arms and stayed silent, deliberately teasing him.

"No way, you're just going to sell me out like this?"

Star-Lord said anxiously, "We came together; Ronan won't let you guys go if he doesn't find the stone!".

"Buddy, you're right."

Rocket Raccoon thought he made sense, "We'll help you!"

Groot the tree-man also echoed, "I am Groot!"

Drax patted Star-Lord, "Don't worry, as long as it's to deal with Ronan, I'll definitely help you!"

Star-Lord felt a bit relieved seeing this, and finally looked at the silent Gamora, "Then you......"

"Didn't you say it? I can't stay out of this."

Gamora drew her dual blades and said dashingly, "Besides, I've already betrayed him."

"Have you played out your little drama yet?"

The Collector, however, displeasedly showed them the door.

"Please leave now; I don't welcome you here in the future!"

Bang!

After Star-Lord and the others were kicked out of the Collector's territory.

They were met head-on by a ship that had just landed.

A blue-skinned Kree wearing black combat gear and holding a warhammer scepter stepped off the ship........

"You really are here."

Ronan didn't waste words, baring his black-painted teeth, and extended his palm toward Star-Lord————

Click-

"Boy, hand over the Infinity Stone!"

"Uh...... I guess there's no explaining this......."

Star-Lord tossed the Orb toward him, "Do you think this will work?"

Pong!

Ronan caught it with his palm, somewhat surprised by Star-Lord's readiness.......

Suspicious.

He handed the warhammer scepter to his subordinate nearby, and opened the Orb with both hands—————

"........"

After seeing the empty state inside the Orb.

Ronan raised his head, glaring, "You dare play me?!!!"

"Why does everyone like to say that? Actually, I'm quite wronged too......."

Star-Lord pointed at Ronan and said, "I know you definitely won't believe what I say, so I prepared a little gift for you in advance~"

Ronan was about to make a move, but paused upon hearing this, "What?"

"A dance for you, woo~!"

Saying that, Star-Lord began to dance with flamboyant moves————

Kicking and twisting his waist,

swaying his body,

without any music,

he danced in such an awkward way.......

Ronan watched with a confused look, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Star-Lord stopped his steps and mocked, "Distract you, of course, you idiot!"

While he was speaking.

Rocket's little claw also fiercely pressed a button—————

Bang!——!!

The Orb exploded instantly, flames engulfing Ronan's entire body!

It turned out that knowing they couldn't talk their way out of it, they had hidden a micro-bomb on the Orb in advance.

"Attack!!"

Star-Lord immediately drew his dual blasters and fired into the rising flames————

Bang! Pew! Whoosh! Click!

Each sound from the Four-Element Gun was different, representing different elemental attacks.

"Ronan!!" Drax also immediately waved his blades, eyes red, and charged forward!

Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Gamora all took action as well————

Because they weren't sure if the power of the micro-bomb could kill Ronan.

Only Soros, wearing a red cloak, stood quietly in the back, composed and not taking action.

Or rather, Ye Li, who was controlling him, didn't make any moves.

"Fire!!"

Ronan's subordinates weren't just sitting around either, and they immediately unleashed heavy suppressive fire on Star-Lord and the others.

Star-Lord and his group were ultimately too few in number and were forced to take cover from the hail of bullets.

"Ronan!!"

Only Drax, driven by hatred, rushed to the dissipating flames and slashed into them with one blade!

Ting!~

A somewhat piercing, sharp metallic clashing sound.

The long-handled warhammer swung out from the dissipating flames, parrying the blade, and smashed toward Drax with undiminished momentum!

Drax was startled!

He wasn't an agile fighter to begin with, and coupled with the unexpected, violent force of the hammer, it swung over with extreme speed.

Therefore, he only had time to hurriedly place his other blade in front of his chest to block—————

Clang~!!

Bang...... bang...... bang...

The hammer sent Drax flying backward, rolling to Star-Lord's feet.

"Hey, what happened to getting revenge on Ronan? You're not going to just die like this, are you?"

Seeing that his side seemed about to lose a major general, Star-Lord couldn't help but get a bit anxious.

"Ah!!"

It seemed Star-Lord's words had an effect.

Drax let out a roar, clutched his aching chest, and charged at Ronan again, engaging him in battle.

But, because he had been hit by Ronan's heavy hammer blow, he was injured.

After fighting for a while, Drax gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Star-Lord hurriedly wanted to call Gamora to help deal with Ronan.

He and Rocket Raccoon had to fire to hold off the surrounding minions, and Groot's vine attack range was also quite large; they all had to deal with a large number of minions.

Only Gamora, who fought melee with blades, didn't have such high minion-clearing efficiency, so her leaving wouldn't have much of an impact, and she could go help Drax.

Only......

Just as Star-Lord turned his head toward Gamora, he saw her fighting with a woman with a mechanical head.

It was Thanos's other daughter———Nebula.

There was no help for it.......

Star-Lord had to cast his hopeful gaze toward the motionless Soros————

"Buddy!

Are you Mr. Ye's subordinate?

Drax said you're very good at fighting!

Come and help out!

For the sake of me and your boss being fellow countrymen!"

Vormir.

"Awake?"

Ye Li brushed away a strand of white hair scattered on Clea's face and smiled.

"If you're awake, let's go out for a stroll."

"Really!?"

Clea was rubbing her sleepy eyes, and upon hearing this, she became spirited, saying with some surprise, "Can I?"

"Of course you can, now that you're my woman."

Ye Li sat up, and took the opportunity to lift her up as well, saying, "I assume you won't cause trouble for me regarding Dormammu once you're out, right.......?"

"Rest assured! I don't care about that villain uncle of mine!"

Clea wrapped her arms around his neck and promised, "It seems we had a bit of a misunderstanding before....... I won't do anything bad; maybe I can even help you."

"That's good...... then let's leave this place first......."

Just as he was speaking.

Suddenly......

Ye Li heard Star-Lord's request through Soros.

[Heh~ so he needs me to take action now.......

Forget it, this Ronan once attacked Earth too, so I'll just solve it while I'm at it.]

Having decided in his heart.

Ye Li kissed Clea's purple lips and said, "¨． I have something to handle here, wait a moment, it'll be done soon."

"Mmm, okay."

The white-haired beauty nodded obediently, raised her slender hand, and gently caught a few fragrant petals that were constantly fluttering in the air.

Afterward, she put the few petals she had caught in her palm into her mouth one by one, chewing them gently with her pearly teeth.

Ye Li found it a bit strange, "Are you...... so hungry you're eating flowers?"

"No..... Mmm..... don't you have things to do...... I'm just taking the time to help you apply some floral scent, that smell wasn't very good~"

Clea blinked her beautiful eyes, smiled slyly, and slowly lowered her head, carefully applying the floral scent—————

"En......."

Ye Li savored it carefully; it really did feel a bit different, and he could feel the subtle friction of the crushed petals........
