Taking the Offensive

According to the Rocket's prediction, Sovereign's fleet will be fully assembled in a few hours, at which point it will surely surround the area.

"Sovereign's fleet consists of long-range operated warships; they are small, fast, but their firepower is only average."

The Rockets held a pre-race meeting, and at that moment, he was standing on the table, pacing back and forth with an air of seriousness.

"It's no exaggeration to say that someone like me, the best spaceship pilot in the universe, could wipe out a whole bunch of them by myself. Now, with the indestructible Avengers Ship, I, Rocket, can destroy Sovereign's mere fleet all by myself."

"Rocket, I didn't mean to interrupt you."

Star-Lord glanced around, giving everyone a disapproving look.

"But if we're talking about the best spaceship pilots in the universe, I should be one of them."

The Rockets are currently indulging in their leadership role and are too lazy to argue with Star-Lord.

He nodded upon hearing this.

"That's right, whether it's me or Star-Lord, I could wipe them out single-handedly in the Avengers Ship, but!!"

The Rockets adopted an arrogant expression, but emphasized the importance of the statement.

"But even the greatest pilot can't be distracted by taking care of you during battle."

"So you bunch of dragging our feet, hurry up and come up with a way to ensure your own safety."

After several days of interaction, everyone has come to understand Rockets ' personality.

So I wasn't angry at what he said.

However, what he said makes sense, after all, the skull of this Ancient Celestial is interconnected in all directions.

The Collector took all the energy, and the Energy Shield can't be activated here.

"Um, I have a question, Mr. Rabbit."

Ant-Man raised his hands high.

"You can ask questions, but I'm warning you, I'm not a rabbit, my name is Rocket."

Rocket made a threatening gesture, warning Ant-Man and signaling him to ask a question.

"Why would that Sovereign race send a fleet to surround us? Is there someone among us who has a grudge against them?"

"Ugh!~!~!"

Xia Yu sighed deeply.

Those present who knew about this all covered their mouths and chuckled.

Rocket replied to Ant-Man with a smile on his face.

"That's a good question, Mr. Ant. Why is the Sovereign race attacking us?"

The Rocket paused for a moment, keeping everyone in suspense.

"It's because thousands of young girls, led by their high priest, were performing some important sacrifice or ceremony naked, haha!"

"Sorry, I couldn't hold back. During some kind of ceremony, Xia Yu barged in and not only peeked at thousands of girls' bodies, but he also shamelessly took a picture as a souvenir, haha!"

Rocket lay on the table, clutching his stomach, and laughed maniacally.

He recalled the scene in the photograph: thousands of naked women, a grand spectacle.

"The Sovereign race is the most vain and pretentious race in this universe. Xia... Xia Yu actually peeked at them and even took pictures blatantly. I can't help but think of the look in High Priestess Ayesha's eyes back then, haha!"

Xia Yu couldn't stand it any longer and yanked the Rocket off the table.

"That was a misunderstanding, friends. Something on me malfunctioned; it could randomly teleport people to any location."

Xia Yu rubbed his hands awkwardly and continued speaking.

"They were holding some kind of ceremony when I was suddenly teleported in. I swear I didn't do it on purpose. As for the photo, I'm an Earthling, and I've never known there was such a race of people with this skin color. I thought it was a golden statue."

Xia Yu explained to everyone in a very serious manner.

However, judging from the disdainful looks in everyone's eyes, not many people believed this statement.

"Just because he took a nude photo, they sent so many fleets across galaxies to hunt him down?"

Banner said incredulously.

"Cough! Cough! That mainly disrupted the ritual or something."

Xia Yu interjected again.

"They sealed off the nearby wormholes and sent a message to the Knowhere demanding I hand over. I originally wanted to try and resolve this peacefully, but that bastard Rocket..."

Xia Yu pointed at the Rocket and said.

"That bastard actually sent that photo back; the high priest must be furious."

"Don't blame me. I'm not stupid. The Sovereign race would definitely kill you at any cost for something like this. I know them. They're arrogant, condescending, and never listen to anyone's explanation. Even if I didn't send the photos, the result would still be the same."

"Trust me." Rocket stood up and patted Xia Yu on the shoulder.

"Okay, that's roughly the situation. The enemy isn't that scary, but for everyone's safety, we need to come up with a reliable plan."

Not wanting them to keep bringing up the matter, Xia Yu forcefully steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Xia, I have something to say.

Star-Lord followed Banner's example and raised his hand in greeting.

"Please."

Xia Yu gestured with his hand.

"That..."

Star-Lord glanced at Gamora beside him, thought for a moment, and then continued.

"I just wanted to ask where the photos are. Can I see them? Um, I just wanted to understand how this happened, oh yes!"

It must have been Gamora who kicked Star-Lord hard from below, interrupting him.

Most of the buildings in the Knowhere are well preserved.

It would be a real shame to destroy it all now.

The original plan was for everyone else to get on the spaceship and stay away to watch the excitement from a distance.

Then Xia Yu and Rocket stayed here, waiting for the enemy to arrive before launching the Avengers Ship to intercept them.

However, firstly, they were afraid of damaging the buildings in the Void, and secondly, they were afraid of getting caught up in the excitement.

Therefore, it was unanimously decided that Xia Yu and Rocket would take the Avengers Ship out to meet the enemy before they arrived.

Draw the enemy away and prevent the battlefield from appearing on your own territory.

The others remained there patiently and waited.

The Avengers and Star-Lord, among others, all know just how powerful the Avengers Ship are.

Even if Sovereign's fleet remained stationary, it wouldn't be damaged.

He wasn't worried about their safety, but Natasha insisted on going with Xia Yu.

Since safety was guaranteed, Xia Yu brought Natasha along.

After preparations were complete, the two boarded the spaceship aboard the Rocket.

"They're still gathering near several wormholes. Let's head straight to the wormhole with the most ships."

Rocket, sitting in the driver's seat, looked back at Xia Yu and the other person.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, make sure you sit tight during the battle, or I won't be responsible if you throw up. Hold on tight, let's go!"

Xia Yu and Natasha exchanged a knowing smile.

Suddenly, I had this feeling of wanting to go to an amusement park and ride a roller coaster together.
