Violence at the Slightest Disagreement
Star-Lord doesn't really have any feelings for Earth, but his mother, who died when he was a child, is the greatest source of warmth in his heart.
He was actually a little upset by what Ayesha had just said.
However, for everyone's safety, and considering that the whole universe knows what kind of people the Sovereign people are...
He forced himself not to lash out.
In the movie, Rocket came out and made a comment about Sovereign people's arrogance.
They forcibly covered it up and let it go until later when the Sovereign people discovered that the Rocket had stolen a lot of their batteries.
Only then did they use their fleet to directly pursue and kill them.
But now, Ayesha's words have made Natasha extremely unhappy.
"Oh? You're from Earth? Did my words hurt you? But whether in terms of civilization or life form, Earth is indeed... you understand, it's not your fault, you don't need to mind."
Ayesha looked completely unconvinced. There were Earthlings right in front of her, and she felt she might have hurt them, but she didn't think she was wrong.
Earth, that remote place, is considered uncivilized by other nations in the universe, let alone by an arrogant race like Sovereign.
"And what about Sovereign? How do you view your own race, feeling noble because of your golden bodies?"
Natasha was indeed a little angry.
Before Ayesha could speak, the Rockets couldn't hold back any longer.
"I'd heard before that you Sovereign people are all arrogant bastards, and it seems I was right."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a guard next to Rocket pulled out a gun and pointed it at Rocket.
The various nobles of Sovereign in the main hall.
Many criticized the Rockets for being too rude and impolite.
Rocket's personality is such that even when he was tied up by Yondu's traitorous henchmen in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, he still dared to mock them.
Having a gun pointed at him wasn't enough to shut him up.
"Look, they can look down on others, but they won't tolerate me pointing out their flaws. So who's really being rude?"
Rocket said to Star-Lord and the others who had turned back.
"High Priest, I don't think that's what it meant. You wouldn't stoop to the level of a Raccoon, would you?"
After all, they were on someone else's turf, and Star-Lord wanted to settle things peacefully.
His approach was correct, but he forgot about one person: Xia Yu.
Xia Yu's strength is enough to allow him to do as he pleases in any empire in any universe.
Since Natasha has spoken up, how could Xia Yu not stand up for her, especially since she has insulted Earthlings?
Ayesha waved her hand, signaling the guards to remove their guns.
He looked at Natasha and said coldly.
"Of course I don't mind what the Rocket says, but you, my friend from Earth, seem to have some doubts about what I'm saying."
Just as Natasha was about to say something, Xia Yu grabbed her wrist.
Xia Yu stepped forward and spoke.
"I do have a question. I'm curious, since you're all golden, wouldn't it be hard to tell your buttocks from your faces if you weren't wearing clothes?"
This statement may have stirred up some not-so-pleasant memories for Ayesha.
They could no longer maintain their superior attitude.
He slammed his fist on the throne in anger.
"Don't you want to leave Sovereign Planet alive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding guards drew their weapons and aimed at the crowd.
Star-Lord, Rocket, and the others drew their weapons almost simultaneously.
As soon as Xia Yu spoke, everyone knew that a fight was bound to break out.
Are you threatening me?
Xia Yu took a step forward and said calmly.
"She's threatening us. Why don't we just take action? I've had enough of these arrogant bastards for a long time."
The Rocket moved its hands directly.
A 'click!' sound.
He immediately cocked the gun in his hand.
"You dare challenge us, the Sovereign people, in our territory? With just a few of you?"
Ayesha didn't get angry; instead, she laughed.
The number of guards inside the main hall was several times theirs, not to mention the large number of guards outside.
Now all the guns were pointed at them.
At Ayesha's command, everyone would be riddled with bullets.
"Look at the foolish friends you've made outside; he's ruined us all."
Nebula couldn't help but complain to Gamora.
"Shut your mouth. If it weren't for me, you'd be dead here."
She said that, but Gamora still looked at Xia Yu nervously.
Although he knew Xia Yu was very capable, it was impossible not to be nervous when so many guns were pointed at him at the same time.
Xia Yu didn't care how many guns were pointed at him. If it weren't for his own men around, he would have dared to let his opponents open fire.
He walked back and forth a few steps, as if he were strolling in his own Garden.
As his internal True Qi flowed, the Life and Death Talisman, which he hadn't used for a long time, took shape one by one in Xia Yu's hands.
While rapidly condensing the Life and Death Talisman, Xia Yu spoke to Ayesha with even greater arrogance.
"You're wrong, Ayesha. I'm not challenging you, but giving you a chance to challenge me."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Yu clasped his hands together and waved them to the sides.
In my hand, there was a thin, paper-like piece of ice-based Life and Death Talisman.
After being released, they spread out like a peacock's tail feathers.
Each piece looks like it has eyes.
It roared away towards the surrounding Sovereign people.
'Whoosh!'
A series of whistling sounds rang out.
Xia Yu's Life and Death Talisman was incredibly fast.
Sovereign people had no time to react.
One by one, the Life and Death Talisman had been injected into their bodies.
Except for the high priest who stands before the throne above.
Every Sovereign people in the main hall was struck by a Life and Death Talisman.
There were several guards at the entrance of the main hall.
Seeing that something was wrong inside, they decided to rush in.
Xia Yu waved his hand, and several guards stepped into the main hall.
Before the footsteps could even land.
A gust of wind surged forth, and he was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
Xia Yu waved his hand again, and the door to the main hall was slammed shut by his palm strike.
Then Xia Yu snapped his the Snap.
Ah!~!~!~!
Except for Ayesha, all the Sovereign people in the entire hall were lying on the ground howling incessantly.
Once the Life and Death Talisman is activated, it's like thousands of ants gnawing at every inch of your flesh and blood inside your body.
Numbness, itching, pain—all sorts of uncomfortable sensations rushed in, but I couldn't grab or scratch them.
Even the most resilient people cannot bear this feeling, let alone the pampered Sovereign people.
Until this moment.
Ayesha's expression finally changed drastically.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly and pressed his hand on the back of his head.
He put away his mask.
He made a fleeting gesture with his right hand and then gave a bow in aristocratic etiquette.
"Now we can have a proper talk, Your Excellency High Priest."
