Sorry, Cutting in Line

The system had just finished upgrading, and Xia Yu didn't have time to explore the new features before the Dark Aster crashed. Xia Yu rushed out and saw the Energy Shield formed by the Power Stone, indicating that Star-Lord had already obtained the Power Stone.

Xia Yu couldn't break through the Energy Shield formed by the Power Stone, so he had to open a portal to enter.

As they entered, they saw Star-Lord radiating a purple light, the power of the Power Stone seemingly bursting from every pore of his Star-Lord, his skin almost being torn apart by the Power Stone.

Star-Lord is reaching out to Gamora.

Drax, on the other side, also extended his hand to Star-Lord.

Star-Lord and Gamora finally held hands, and the power of the Power Stone transferred from Star-Lord to Gamora, causing Gamora to emit the same purple light as Star-Lord.

On the other side, Drax's hand also approached Star-Lord, about to touch, but Xia Yu came over and interrupted.

The Power Stone, capable of easily destroying a planet, is one of the greatest forces in the universe. Surrounded by a surging Energy Shield, a few ordinary people become Hero at a crucial moment, sacrificing themselves to control the stone and save the planet.

The villain stood by, dumbfounded.

Moved, passionate...

In that instant, Xia Yu abruptly emerged from a small window that appeared out of nowhere, and walked between Star-Lord and Drax as if he were strolling through a market.

Excuse me, could you cut in line?

Xia Yu put one hand on Star-Lord's shoulder and took Drax's hand with the other.

The system's task wasn't completed yet, and Xia Yu couldn't absorb the Power Stone's energy. However, the energy passing through his body didn't cause him much harm, so with Xia Yu joining, Star-Lord and Gamora felt much less pressure.

Drax reluctantly took Xia Yu's hand, and together with Rocket, the five of them bore the pressure of the Power Stone.

Xia Yu bore more than half of the damage, so the amount of purple energy on the others wasn't as exaggerated as it had been initially; they just had purple flames coming out of their eyes, making them look like Ghost Rider.

"You are all ordinary people, how could you possibly withstand the power of the gems?" Ronan exclaimed incredulously.

"Your eyesight is off. At least half of the people here aren't ordinary." Xia Yu was right. He himself and Star-Lord were descendants of the Celestials, and Rocket was not human at all.

"Enough talk, Star-Lord, get to work." Xia Yu said, releasing his hand from Star-Lord's shoulder and placing it directly on the gem, aiming it at Ronan.

Gem Mountain unleashed several bolts of purple energy in the shape of Flash, easily reducing Ronan to ashes.

"It saves on cremation costs, so convenient," Xia Yu muttered.

Through Star-Lord Xia Yu's experience, it became clear that their way of using gems was really like using a gun—just bear the recoil. Although the power was great for a while, it was nothing compared to Xia Yu's absorption method.

Ronan's largest spaceship, the Dark Aster, has crashed, and the Supreme Intelligence has been absorbed by the system. As soon as Ronan dies, the system immediately notifies him that the mission is complete.

Before Gamora could take out the metal sphere, Xia Yu reached out and grabbed the gem. Regardless of whether it was shocking or not, Xia Yu directly chose to absorb it.

Xia Yu exuded a strange energy that pushed the others several meters away.

Then, just like when Star-Lord picked up the gem alone at the beginning, Xia Yu began to emit Purple energy light.

"What are you doing? The power of the gems is not something a human can control. Stop right now!" Gamora had an inexplicable fear of the gems, and she was also afraid of what Xia Yu might do after mastering their power.

Upon seeing Xia Yu like this, he quickly shouted loudly.

"Stop, Xia, you'll explode." Star-Lord genuinely cared about Xia Yu a little. He had personally witnessed the Collector's maid die in front of him. Although he knew Xia Yu was very powerful, he hadn't known him for long and still subconsciously felt that Xia Yu couldn't possibly be as powerful as Ronan.

Ronan controlled the gems using a hammer; how could Xia Yu possibly control their power on his own?

Xia Yu looked at the fearful eyes of the onlookers around him. There were civilians from Xandar, Star-Lord and his group, and Yondu leading a group of Ravagers in the distance. Xia Yu noticed the concern in Star-Lord's eyes.

He smiled slightly at Star-Lord and said, "It's not what you think. I might need a few days. Quill, wait for me on Xandar for a few days. I have something to discuss with you."

After speaking, the Purple energy formed a circular Energy Shield, isolating everyone except Xia Yu. Xia Yu's soul began to slowly absorb and transform, and Xia Yu lost consciousness.

No one could force their way through the Energy Shield formed by the Power Stone, so Xia Yu chose to absorb it here without hesitation. The most crucial factor was the instability after absorbing the Space Stone. Xia Yu wanted to absorb it as quickly as possible and finish as soon as possible, as he didn't know what the unstable energy of the Power Stone would be like.

Unlike the Space Stone, the Power Stone's energy is purplish-black, filled with destructive and destructive power, and also has the ability to enhance the body. When Xia Yu absorbed the Space Stone's energy, his Black Tortoise Golden Body Art was upgraded by two levels.

The Power Stone directly upgraded Xia Yu's Black Tortoise Golden Body Art to the top level ten, and his physical strength continued to increase, but this time the system did not grant Xia Yu any new functions.

As the system previously stated, entering the second stage, the main task is to absorb the attributes and energy of various gems and the Cosmic Origin. The initial cultivation techniques are no longer suitable for Xia Yu at this stage.

As his body strengthens, the energy within Xia Yu will become even more destructive and violent after absorbing the power of the Power Stone. If Xia Yu were to face Thanos without the Infinity Stones after perfectly absorbing the Power Stone, it's uncertain whether he would win or lose.

Xia Yu obtained the Power Stone and formed such a large Energy Shield that the new legion was very worried, but they couldn't get close and could only send people to seal off the area.

Yondu was unwilling to let Xia Yu take the Power Stone, so he stayed on Xandar with the Ravagers to observe the situation, since they had confronted Ronan first when Ronan entered Xandar.

Nova Prime treated them with the utmost hospitality, giving this group of long-time cosmic Ravagers a taste of flowers and applause, a completely different experience from their usual lives.

Even the one Taserface began to show that gentle smile.

Star-Lord and his companions, wielding the Power Stone, who killed Ronan, became great Hero of Xandar.

Although the Nova Empire and the Kree signed a peace treaty, Ronan, which had split off from the Nova Empire, and the shadow of war constantly loomed over Xandar.

Nova Prime was happiest at Ronan's death.

The threat of war that had lasted for years had vanished without a trace. The only flaw was that Earthling holding the Power Stone, seemingly doing something puzzling. Nova Prime, standing at the Nova Corps headquarters, gazed at the distant Energy Shield and fell into a deep unease.
