The Supreme Intelligence's Sneak Attack
"Stop! He's my friend. This is a misunderstanding." Star-Lord finally arrived with his men.
He knew how strong Xia Yu was, perhaps without even realizing it himself. Deep down, he was afraid that Yondu would suffer, which is why he rushed over in such a hurry.
Star-Lord arrived with Gamora and whispered something to Yondu. Yondu's gaze towards Xia Yu changed several times before he waved and left with his men, taking the unfortunate Dragon Fruit with him.
"I knew you'd show up on time; we've already come up with the whole plan."
Star-Lord pulled Xia Yu towards his room. Rocket and the others were there. They gathered together, and Star-Lord and the others reiterated their plan, explaining that the Orb was the Power Stone.
Just like in the movie, Star-Lord and his crew contacted the Nova Corps in advance. Rocket and Yondu would then use small fighter jets to break through the defenses of the Dark Aster Ronan. Star-Lord and his crew would then enter the Dark Aster, find Ronan, and kill Ronan using a man-portable Energy Cannon designed by Rocket.
Now that Xia Yu has appeared, everything has become much easier; at least it doesn't take as much effort to breach the outer shell of the Dark Aster.
The whole plan didn't seem very reliable to Xia Yu. As it turned out, you couldn't just use any weapon to kill the owner of the Power Stone. But this team had the luck of protagonists, so Ronan was definitely doomed.
Xia Yu, as a participant, also got involved. Ronan and his fleet were definitely doomed. Xia Yu was thinking about how to find the Supreme Intelligence. He had been away from Earth for several days, Xia Yu couldn't wait to bring back some local specialties for Tony to study.
Only when Tony fully understands these alien technologies can he truly transform them into his own power, or rather, the power of the Avengers.
Everything began exactly as Star-Lord had planned.
Ronan's Dark Aster is rapidly heading towards Xandar. After obtaining the Power Stone, Ronan not only betrayed Thanos without hesitation, but he is also eager to destroy Xandar.
Of the three most powerful empires in the universe, the Skrulls have been driven far out of their territory by Ronan and are now recuperating in some remote corner of the world, leaving only the Nova Empire to contend with the Kree.
To be precise, they were supposed to be fighting against Ronan. Most Kree are relatively peace-loving, but they were previously ruled by the Supreme Intelligence and brainwashed into a group of fanatical warmongers and racist chauvinists.
Years of war spurred the Kree to rise up in resistance, finally driving the war criminals, represented by Ronan, out of Hala and burning down the building where the Supreme Intelligence resided. However, no one knew that the Supreme Intelligence's true form had long been moved by Ronan to the underground of an abandoned planet.
Ronan established a secret base underground on this planet, not far from Xandar, waiting to deliver an unexpected blow to Xandar in the event of a future war.
It was by relying on the Supreme Intelligence, a cyborg life form, that Ronan was able to maintain a high level of military civilization even after leaving the Kree Hala.
The Supreme Intelligence played a crucial role, managing slaves on many planets, creating robots to gather resources, establishing automated factories, and providing Ronan with the greatest logistical support.
In the movie, Ronan, who obtained the Power Stone, was arrogant and thought himself invincible. In the end, he was distracted by Star-Lord's awkward dance, which led to Rocket's sneak attack that shattered his hammer. Star-Lord then stole the Power Stone and killed him instantly.
Ronan did not fully demonstrate his abilities.
Therefore, when Ronan went to destroy Xandar this time, he still brought his core power, the Dark Aster.
After all, with the Power Stone, he only needed to aim it at the planet's surface and deliver a powerful blow, Xandar would be gone.
No sooner had they entered Xandar's atmosphere than Rocket and Yondu, leading a small fleet of Ravagers, began to ambush them.
"These damned reptiles, these pathetic pieces of trash, how dare they block my way! Who among you will go and chase these annoying flies away?" Ronan glanced outside disdainfully, not even bothering to intervene; he could leave it to his men.
Ronan waved his hand, dismissing everyone. Perhaps imitating Thanos, he also set up a small hall in his Dark Aster and placed a throne there to display his power.
"The day has finally come! Xandar is about to become history, and the glory of the Kree will illuminate the entire universe!" Ronan stood up, raised his arms to the air, and loudly proclaimed, his face full of madness and fanaticism.
"Someone has come in, and the way they came in was very unique. There must be something interesting about them; there's a power I'm very familiar with, somewhat like Vers."
A scene appeared before Ronan: Xia Yu leading Star-Lord and his group through a portal into the Dark Aster. This was the Supreme Intelligence speaking.
"Vers!" Ronan muttered the name to himself.
This was Captain Marvel's name when she served the Kree. Back then, Ronan led a fleet to Earth, but Captain Marvel single-handedly destroyed half of their ships, forcing Ronan to flee in disarray. This was a lifelong humiliation for Ronan.
"Yes, Vers, the energy within him is familiar, very similar to Vers's, but also very different. He shouldn't be that powerful," the Supreme Intelligence analyzed.
"Even if he's stronger Vers, it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of anyone anymore. I'm going to wipe them out right now. Vers will die by my hand sooner or later," Ronan said hatefully, getting up to deal with them.
"Don't worry, Ronan. I'll hold this person off for you. Let the other little rats go. Don't forget our goal: destroy Xandar first, we'll deal with the rest later," the Supreme Intelligence said calmly.
Ronan was an arrogant and warmongering maniac, but he could accept the idea of Supreme Intelligence. Although he now believed himself to be the most powerful being in the universe, the matters at hand were indeed more important.
Xia Yu was leading his men rapidly forward aboard the Dark Aster, steadily making their way towards Ronan.
Xia Yu, leading the charge, could easily kill enemies with a single punch or palm strike. Having fused with the energy of an Infinity Stones, the Internal Energy released by Xia Yu's casual strikes was no less powerful than some high-powered energy weapons, and the high-density energy could easily penetrate the bodies of Kree soldiers.
Martial arts like the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, which rely on Internal Energy, are no longer of much use to Xia Yu. These types of martial arts mainly enhance the destructive power of Internal Energy by circulating it through different meridians, and Xia Yu no longer needs them.
The energy density transformed from the black hole within his body was already quite high, leaving little room for further concentration.
Just as they walked down a corridor, Xia Yu grabbed a Kree soldier who was rushing towards them by the neck. For Xia Yu, no matter how many of these people came, they would all die. He was about to throw the soldier aside with a flick of his arm.
A hidden energy surged from the metal floor, traveled up the soldier's body, and entered Xia Yu's arm, heading directly towards Xia Yu's head.
This energy had almost no fluctuations, no discernible properties, and seemed to have no destructive power whatsoever. It was more like a fluctuation of information, like the various signals that are omnipresent in the air. That's why Xia Yu was caught off guard and fell victim to it.
As Star-Lord and the others watched, Xia Yu grabbed the soldier by the neck and suddenly stopped moving.
This is the first chapter today, and there are at least two more to go. I've received many gifts and tips these past two days, which makes me very happy. Thank you all for your support.
