The Avengers Arrive

Thor and his group arrived in Sakaar two days later than originally planned.

The day before his arrival, Thor contacted Xia Yu.

But when Xia Yu asked why he was two whole days late, Thor stammered and couldn't explain why.

Xia Yu didn't think much of it; Star-Lord and his group were all together, plus Thor occasionally had a short circuit.

It would be abnormal if something didn't happen.

But we're almost there! Xia Yu has been getting a bit annoyed these past few days in Sakaar.

The main problem is that every day I have to face the monstrous old face of the Grandmaster and pretend to be polite.

God knows how much Xia Yu wanted to smash that old pervert's nose with a single punch.

That same day, Xia Yu told Grandmaster that a friend of his was coming.

The Grandmaster showed great enthusiasm for this.

After all, the Collector's side was already prepared; once the sleeping pills arrived, they could just take them all at once, saving themselves future trouble.

What if Xia Yu's friends have a few more exceptionally talented individuals? Wouldn't that provide him with even more excellent materials for his genetic engineering?

The Grandmaster's idea is correct, and there are indeed quite a few people with extraordinary talent.

The next day, when the Avengers Ship landed at the gates of the Grandmaster's palace.

To welcome Xia Yu's friends.

The Grandmaster personally recorded a video, which was projected onto a giant light screen in the middle of the city, continuously delivering a welcoming speech.

Moreover, hundreds of young girls lined the streets to welcome them, carrying various kinds of unidentified flowers.

The guards' clothes and hoods were all one of the seven colors, arranged in a strict order.

It looks just like a rainbow.

The air was filled with a perfume made from some kind of flower.

Dozens of spaceships were also positioned in the air, their sterns occasionally spewing out various colored fireworks.

Someone unfamiliar with the area might think there's some kind of festival or celebration taking place here.

"That's over the top. If Tony were here, he'd definitely love this kind of welcome."

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking...

The hatch of the Avengers Ship slowly opened.

A Legion of people stood inside the Avengers Ship, with Tony Stark at the head.

Thor gave Xia Yu a surprise.

This time it wasn't just Star-Lord Rocket, but almost the entire Avengers were involved.

Aside from Vision's Infinity Stones being far more captivating in the universe.

Bucky, Falcon, and Winter Soldier remained outside Earth.

Everyone else came.

"I bet Xia will be dumbfounded when he sees us. I bet he'll run over and hug Natasha first. What do you think?"

When the hatch opened, Tony was chatting with the Captain beside him.

Natasha, standing to the side, wore a faint smile, letting them tease her.

"If Xia hadn't explained the situation to us beforehand, I would have thought Xia had become the king here. Look at this scene."

"I saw it when it landed; they actually used a spaceship to set off fireworks."

As they talked, they slowly stepped out of the open hatch.

"Welcome to Sakaar, welcome, distinguished friends. Xia's friends are Sakaar's friends, and from now on, this will be your home."

The Grandmaster led a group of people forward and loudly welcomed them.

As the Grandmaster's voice rang out, the girls on both sides took out flower petals and began to scatter them.

The guards, lined up in a rainbow, also raised their launchers.

Fireworks exploded again in the sky above the palace.

Fireworks lit up half the city, prompting everyone else to run into the streets and cheer.

Although I don't know who the Grandmaster is welcoming, today is certainly lively, isn't it?

"Let me introduce you. This is the master of Sakaar, the creator of order here. Everyone calls him Grandmaster."

"Grandmaster, let me introduce you. This is Natasha, my fiancée."

"This is the Prince of Asgard, Odin's son, and the possessor of the Power of Thor, Thor."

When Thor was introduced, the Grandmaster's eyes lit up; another good prospect.

When the Grandmaster saw Star-Lord, his eyes were practically glued to the screen.

Star-Lord possesses some extremely ancient genetic sequences.

"Oh, I know, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket, you guys are the Guardians of the Galaxy. I've heard about you."

The Grandmaster addressed Star-Lord and the others.

Rocket grinned from ear to ear, pointing at the Destroyer and laughing.

"Drax, you and Groot are waiting, haha!"

After the chaotic welcoming ceremony, the Grandmaster considerately provided everyone with a large room to chat.

"The banquet will begin in two hours. You can have a drink and chat here. If you need to rest, a room has been prepared for each of you."

A Legion of people came in, sat down haphazardly, and before they could even speak...

Tony then took out a small metal detector and scanned the area.

"It seems there are quite a few ears here. Let me find them all first."

"No need, watch me."

Rocket took out a metal ball, tapped it a few times, and then placed it on the ground, where it transformed into a light screen that enveloped the small area where everyone was.

"With this, all the listening and monitoring devices inside this circle are ineffective; those outside can't hear us at all."

Rocket gave Tony a provocative look; it seemed the two had some kind of clash of geniuses on the way.

"Now, let's begin. Speak freely and boldly; I can't wait to rob this place."

Rocket licked his lips; he loved this kind of scene.

"Shouldn't you tell me first, um... why everyone's here?"

After Thor recounted the story, Rocket, Star-Lord, and others added their own explanations.

Xia Yu then roughly understood what had happened.

This likely refers to the time after Star-Lord and the others reunited with Thor.

I originally planned to finish one task and then pick up Xia Yu directly.

However, they had a minor skirmish with a Kree fleet en route.

Thanks to the Avengers Ship' sturdy outer shell, the Rocket rammed and destroyed more than ten large Kree spaceships.

As a result, they were hunted down by the entire fleet.

The Rockets were in the wrong to begin with, but they've already come out ahead.

These people didn't want to escalate the situation, so they evaded the pursuit of the spaceship.

As a result, it accidentally ended up near Earth.

Just then, Tony contacted the Avengers Ship, Thor explained everything.

As a result, everyone in the Avengers expressed a desire to join in the fun.

They all finished recounting what had happened.

Xia Yu looked at the large crowd in front of him, including Banner and Scarlet Witch.

I originally intended to take direct action, but since we have such ample strength, let's be even more ruthless.

"I really didn't expect such a lavish lineup. Tonight's banquet was meticulously prepared by the Grandmaster, so let's not waste it. Once everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, we can find an excuse to get right to it."

Xia Yu thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Some of their weapons are quite powerful. Although we have an overwhelming advantage, they have so many guards and so many guns here, so everyone still needs to be careful."

"Don't worry about the guards, leave everything to me."

Tony said confidently.

"You, all alone?"

Xia Yu asked, puzzled.

Tony's Armor is definitely strong in one-on-one combat, but it's not good at dealing with groups of enemies, especially with at least several thousand guards here.

Xia Yu's original plan was for the Guardians of the Galaxy to launch an attack directly from inside the Avengers Ship, accompanied by Tate.

On the ground, the three of us—myself, Thor Valkyrie, and myself—are enough.

Although there are more people now, they are not as free to do as they used to.

"Who said I'm alone?"

Tony snapped his the Snap near Ant-Man's ear.

He took out a display case directly from his Storage Bracelet, which was filled with at least a hundred Iron Soldiers.
