Although Gamora had snatched the Orb, Star-Lord had also noticed that she had shown mercy several times. Otherwise, he probably would have been dead long ago. So even though he had the chance to lie in wait and kill Gamora this time, he still chose to let her go, merely using arc rounds to knock her down.
Watching Gamora lie on the ground, her body twitching continuously, Star-Lord hurriedly got to his feet. Shaking the bag off his foot, he ran toward the distance.
However, he failed to notice that Rocket Raccoon, whom Gamora had knocked to the ground earlier, had gotten back up. He was now pulling the weapon nearly as large as himself from his back and raising it in his hands.
"Actually, I'm easy to please. For example, just thinking about how much this is going to hurt!"
As Rocket Raccoon spoke, he unfolded the Multi-function rifle in his hands, aimed at the fleeing Star-Lord, and pulled the trigger.
A bolt of electricity identical to the one Star-Lord had used against Gamora earlier, but clearly much more powerful, flew toward Star-Lord and struck him squarely.
Star-Lord immediately followed in Gamora's footsteps, falling flat onto the ground and convulsing violently.
"Ha ha ha!"
Seeing this, Rocket Raccoon burst into delighted laughter. Looking at Star-Lord twitching on the ground, he said smugly,
"Tremble, mortals!"
But just as Rocket Raccoon spoke, a series of whimpering sounds like a baby's cooing came from behind him. He turned around and saw Groot, whose arms had been severed by Gamora, lowering his head as he gently kicked the severed arms lying on the ground with his feet, making soft noises from his mouth.
Rocket Raccoon was speechless and cursed,
"They'll grow back, you idiot. Stop whimpering!"
No sooner had Rocket Raccoon finished speaking
