Nova Corps Fighters

As the capital of the Nova Empire, Xandar enjoys a fairly good level of security. The headquarters of the renowned Nova Corps is located here, responsible for protecting the entire Nova Empire as well as the planet's internal security.

So when the security bureau received a large number of complaints, the Nova Corps quickly monitored the area where the theft occurred via satellite and soon located Xia Yu.

It wasn't just because the Nova Corps was highly efficient; the main reason was that Xia Yu's crime-solving area was too small. He didn't know when the Guardians of the Galaxy would start, and he wanted to try to see if he could encounter any characters from the storyline here. So he only went back and forth within these two streets, so it would be strange if he wasn't immediately locked on.

In less than two hours, Xia Yu had taken various weapons from hundreds of people. He didn't even know when he was teleported away, so he took as many as he could.

Even as the four Nova Fighters were preparing to surround and capture him in the air, Xia Yu was still managing to steal a gun from the back of an alien race whose head was as big as a walnut.

"Look, look, is this some kind of special ability?" the lead squad Captain of the spaceship said on the internal channel.

"Captain, we'll know once we capture them whether they have superpowers or not."

"Okay, okay, actually I'm not interested in him at all. Let's hurry up and finish capturing him so we can go home. Capture beam, prepare, 3...2...1 fire."

Four pale yellow beams of light shot out from the spaceship, enveloping Xia Yu from four directions.

Xia Yu had just put the weapon into his ring and was mentally criticizing the alien's brain.

Suddenly I felt a weight lift over my body, as if someone had put something on me to restrain me. It felt a bit like increased gravity, but it wasn't quite like that.

Xia Yu glanced up at the four fighter jets, pondering how to get one back to Earth. These things didn't look very big; it seemed like one of them could fit in his ring. The supplies he already had in his ring, plus what he had just taken, took up less than 30 Cosmic Cube. Xia Yu estimated the size of the Nova Fighter.

Seeing that Xia Yu had stood up and was motionless, the squad Captain in the fighter jet assumed that Xia Yu was restrained and unable to move, and issued the capture order again.

Xia Yu felt that the beam of light had gained an additional force pulling him towards it.

Suddenly, a scene from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie flashed through my mind. These fighter jets can stack energy fields no matter how many there are, making them capable of defense, offense, and even capturing people. They're small but fast. Taking them back to Tony for him to study would definitely be great.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked up and gave the squad Captain's fighter jet a wicked smile, thinking, "You're unlucky."

The person was figuring out why they couldn't pull the thief up when suddenly the thief looked up and smiled at them. What did that mean?

Then he saw Xia Yu lightly push off with his leg and fly towards him.

"This speed seems off... Oh no, the beam is ineffective! The culprit appears to be a high-combat-capable race or a superhuman. Requesting assistance... Requesting..."

Before the unfortunate Captain could finish speaking, Xia Yu had already jumped onto the top of the plane, punched open the transparent dome, grabbed him, and threw him down.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he sent the fighter jet vanishing into the sky.

Xia Yu channeled his Internal Energy, and his entire body floated back to the ground as lightly as a piece of paper.

The squad Captain was wrapped in Xia Yu's back and thrown down with a clever force. He was not only unharmed, but also landed on the ground without even feeling the slightest jolt.

The three fighter jets in the air were still there, having already called for reinforcements. The Captain on the ground dusted off imaginary dust and said to Xia Yu, "You are suspected of committing hundreds of thefts on Xandar, especially just now when you stole... robbed a Nova Fighter. That's a serious crime."

"I just borrowed it to study it. I might give it back to you later. How can this be considered robbery? At most, I was a little too rough when I borrowed it. See, you didn't feel any pain when I threw it at you, did you?"

Xia Yu lowered his head and said with a smile, he was in an extremely good mood because he had acquired a fighter jet.

"Sir, I'm warning you, what you're doing isn't borrowing, it's robbery, and you've just committed at least hundreds of thefts."

Perhaps Xia Yu had no intention of harming him, or perhaps Xia Yu's tone was very gentle, but the squad Captain became increasingly polite to Xia Yu.

"Sir, our reinforcements have arrived. We hope you will not engage in futile resistance. This is the headquarters of our Nova Corps. We can deploy tens of thousands of fighter jets at any time. Individual forces cannot possibly stand against our legion."

The squad Captain pointed to the dozens of fighter jets rapidly approaching in the distance and continued speaking to Xia Yu:

"If you have a particular reason, I will help you explain it, given your good behavior towards me just now."

"No need for explanations. Thank you for the fighter jet. I'll thank you properly another time. Now it's time to say goodbye!"

Xia Yu looked at the Captain with a smile and waved enthusiastically.

A large amount of... well, I won't waste any more words.

In short, as soon as the blue light contracted, Xia Yu disappeared from Xandar.

They reappeared on a planet that appeared to be completely abandoned.

The ground was covered with pitted, muddy soil, and the sky was filled with thick, black clouds, with a brightness equivalent to when the moon is not particularly bright on Earth at night.

Not far away, there is a cliff that suddenly rises up, below which is a large lake filled with water, which is indistinguishable from water on Earth.

There were no plants or animals within sight, and the air had a strange smell. The air here was seriously polluted; an ordinary person would surely die from poisoning if they breathed it for a long time.

I don't know if the whole planet is like this, but wherever Xia Yu can see, there's a faint smell of decay and desolation.

"This place looks like the Hell described in books. If you add a swamp and some rotting corpses constantly reaching out their hands, it would be even more like it," Xia Yu thought to himself.

Xia Yu decided to wander around and see what kind of place this was. Anyway, he was skilled and daring, and he had just Thanos head-on. What did he have to be afraid of?

After walking for almost an hour with no apparent change in the surroundings, Xia Yu grew impatient and donned his Armor to take off.

The view from the air was better, and after circling around for a short while, Xia Yu spotted a very old, abandoned building.

A grand hall built entirely of stone.

It has a style somewhat similar to that of ancient Greek temples.

Xia Yu landed and went inside without hesitation. Upon entering, he first noticed many small, two-legged lizards on the ground, which also resembled miniature dinosaurs.

Xia Yu was delighted. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the Power Stone Temple.

The Orb from Guardians of the Galaxy — Star-Lord probably hasn't arrived yet. Should he take the Power Stone or not?
