I Am Groot

In any case, it won't interfere with the Guardians of the Galaxy storyline. Although no matter who or what is behind it, Xia Yu is definitely relieved now.

After giving a few instructions to Tmall to deliver him to more absolutely safe places, he felt at ease and took out some food and drinks from his ring to calm himself down.

After all this chaos, I'm not exactly exhausted, but at least mentally and physically. It's good to relax a bit.

Over the next two days, the time Xia Yu spent teleporting became longer and longer, gradually increasing from a little over an hour to several hours. By the evening of the second day, Xia Yu had set up a tent on an abandoned planet and slept there all night before teleporting again the next morning.

This time, the teleportation location was a prison.

When Xia Yu teleported over, Rocket and his friends were plotting their prison break. Rocket Xia Yu's sudden appearance startled them.

The space prison on Xandar is strict on the outside but lax on the inside. Once you're inside, they don't really care what the prisoners are doing. This is evident from the scene in the movie where a group of people try to kill Gamora at night, and Drax the Destroyer kills many of Ronan's men in the prison.

"How did you get in here? Do they hire people to perform magic tricks for prisoners in Xandar's prison?" Rocket shrieked.

"This is my friend, his name is Xia Yu. He's from Earth like me, and he's rather elusive," Star-Lord introduced with a shrug. He also found Xia Yu's unpredictable and elusive Kung Fu particularly incredible.

Compared to Star-Lord and Rocket, who were practically cosmic losers, Gamora knew far more than they did, and she glanced at Xia Yu in surprise.

"The Tesseract is on you? The Space Stone, the power of the Space Stone?"

"The Tesseract is in Asgard. I only absorbed a portion of its power, and my body obviously needs some time to process it," Xia Yu told Gamora directly. There was no point in hiding it, was there?

Gamora reacted strongly, standing up abruptly and exclaiming in surprise, "You can actually absorb the energy of the Infinity Stones? That's impossible! Even Thanos..."

Gamora suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, Xia Yu looked at her with a smile.

"What about Thanos? Is your adoptive father also interested in the Infinity Stones?" Rocket asked.

Xia Yu sat down next to the three of them.

"Let me say it for her. Even the Mad Titan Thanos needed to forge a gauntlet to control the power of the Infinity Stones, right?" Xia Yu countered.

"Who exactly are you? How do you know about the Infinity Gauntlet?" Gamora exclaimed in surprise.

"Excuse my bluntness, but he's like a fortune teller. He even knows who's on my ship. But what are the Infinity Stones? They sound very valuable," Star-Lord said.

"I can explain to you one by one, but could you call those two guys over there first? If you want to escape, I can take you out in a bit," Xia Yu said, pointing to Groot was about to remove the battery from the control panel.

Star-Lord pulled everyone back, including Groot and Drax.

"Why did you bring him along?" Gamora scolded Star-Lord; she really didn't understand what use this brainless man was.

"I need to stick close to you to get revenge. Don't think I don't know you want to escape. I'm joining you. I have to follow you. I'm going to kill Ronan," Drax roared.

"Can you guys stop arguing? We're all in this together now, guys. My friend has a better way to help us escape. Let's hear what he has to say," Star-Lord advised.

"It was supposed to be just the three of us, but now there are two more people splitting the money. I don't need your friend's help. I've been through 22 prisons, and none of them can hold me," Rocket protested.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in splitting the money," Xia Yu stated.

"Me too. I don't need money. I just want to kill Ronan, like you said, draw a circle on his neck with your finger," Drax said, making a gesture.

"Then I don't care. I don't care what you guys are doing. Without the two of you, the three of us can get a lot more money," Rocket said.

"I am Groot!"

"Okay, it's the four of us," Rocket repeated.

Gamora didn't listen to what you were saying at all, her eyes fixed on Xia Yu. "Then you can start explaining now. Also, if you don't want money, what exactly is your purpose?"

Everyone looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu looked around to make sure no one was watching, then took out a few bottles of drinks from his ring and offered them some. After greeting each of them, he left.

He opened his mouth and said, "There's an Infinity Gauntlet in the Vault of Asgard, but it's a fake. I've seen it there; Odin, the king of the gods, showed it to me."

"Your adoptive father, Thanos, is not incapable of controlling the power of the Infinity Stones; it's just that he cannot control the power of all six stones through his physical body alone."

"My goal is simple. Gamora, you should know Thanos's ultimate objective. I must stop him and prevent the Infinity Stones from falling into his hands. However, my current abilities are insufficient to defeat him. Therefore, Ronan, this mad warmonger, has sided with Thanos. I want to eliminate him first. This is not in conflict with yours. Ronan is also looking for your goods."

Xia Yu didn't directly reveal that the Cosmic Spirit Stone was the Power Stone, because it was their actions after the prison break and their transaction in the Knowhere that truly led to the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Xia Yu didn't want to ruin anything; he was looking forward to Star-Lord's father.

Ego, who is known as the planetary incarnation of the Celestials, would have been impossible for Xia Yu to find in the vast universe without Star-Lord and the others. As mentioned before, Xia Yu had a premonition that there was great benefit to him.

"I can't fully trust you yet. You say you're going to stop Thanos's plan, but why should I believe you? No one can stand up to Thanos, no one," Gamora said firmly.

Xia Yu grinned. "Since you're his adopted daughter, you must know about your father's spaceship exploding a few days ago, right?"

Gamora was completely shocked. Although Thanos hadn't said anything, she knew they had encountered an enemy.

"You were the one who destroyed the spaceship?"

"That's right, it's me. Although I admit Thanos is indeed very powerful, he is not invincible. And you're wrong to say that no one can fight Thanos. You should know that Thanos sent Loki to lead the Chitauri to attack Earth."

Xia Yu looked at Gamora, and seeing her nod, he continued.

"This plan failed. Not only did he fail to obtain the Tesseract, but he also lost the Mind Stone on Earth. Why do you think he didn't go and retrieve it himself? The answer is that he doesn't dare to approach Earth right now. Earth is far more powerful than you imagine." Xia Yu gave a little boast about his hometown, but it wasn't really boasting. In this universe, Earth is the main character.

"That's right, Earth is the most amazing place in the entire universe because it has the greatest band," Star-Lord loudly echoed.

Everyone looked at Star-Lord as if he were an idiot, including Drax.

"I am Groot (You're an idiot.)"
