Power Stone Awakening

"Whoosh!"

A series of faint sounds came from the darkness.

Sharp thorns pierced a warrior's chest like Long Spear, then a second, a third...

In an instant, Ben strung dozens of Accusers together like lamb skewers, lifted them high, and then slammed them to the ground.

Although the Wildvine Vine isn't particularly strong, it all depends on how it's used.

Even plants and trees possess a tenacious vitality that should not be underestimated.

Ben first attacked them with Seed Bomb, but those bombs weren't very powerful, so Ben abandoned the direct attack and instead created a powder that would release paralyzing the opponent's body after an explosion.

Then, while these soldiers were immobilized, they were completely wiped out.

At the same time, Felicia also defeated Nebula.

Given the same level of technology, the Vibranium Battle Suit is truly unbeatable. No matter how Nebula attacks, Felicia can always dust herself off and get up as if nothing happened, and even return all the impact she suffers.

If your strength isn't strong enough, you simply can't deal with Vibranium.

If Nebula possessed the power of War Lord wielding a battle axe, that would be a different story.

After defeating Nebula, Felicia placed a Subjugation Disc on Nebula's remaining skin and then carried her over.

"You didn't kill her?"

Ben had already transformed back to normal and saw Felicia carrying the unconscious Nebula towards him, asking curiously.

"The technology that's been modified on her body is quite interesting; I think it might be useful."

Felicia said.

Ben glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "It's no use."

Even if he doesn't become Grey Matter or Brainstorm, Ben has already gained some understanding of science under the influence of those two heroes.

The modifications to Nebula were not only crude, but also quite old.

Many of the machines were installed on her by Thanos a long time ago. Nebula has been living among space pirates all these years, so it's unlikely she's upgraded her equipment.

It's a cyberpunk story, and it looks pretty convincing, but actually, there's not much of it that's actually useful.

"Then, kill him?"

Felicia asked.

Ben thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Never mind, keep it."

When I watched the movie before, Ben quite liked this Smurfette. Although this one is the untrained, initial version, it's not a big problem.

We'll train him properly, then recruit him into the Guardians of the Galaxy. After that, we'll bring the Guardians of the Galaxy under the Galactic Plumbers's banner; he'll be a valuable asset.

If the Galactic Plumbers want to make a name for themselves in the universe, the more people they have, the better.

Then, the two continued on their way.

This time they encountered no further obstacles and reached the deepest part of the temple in one go.

On the stone platform at the end, a hollowed-out gray metal sphere lay quietly.

"This is the Universal Orb?"

The two walked forward together. Felicia threw the Nebula to the ground and reached out to pick up the orb.

However, Ben noticed something was wrong.

"It's empty."

He reached out and took the spirit orb. With a slight pressure from his fingertips, he easily opened the outer shell of the spirit orb, only to find it empty inside.

"It seems the Spirit Orb isn't with us."

A Spirit Orb without Infinity Stones is trash.

No, that's not quite right. It is an antique, but Ben doesn't see any value in it.

Now it remains to be seen whether the real Orb is with Peter or Captain America.

Ben was thinking, suddenly, the temple began to shake violently, the ceiling above his head tore apart instantly, and rubble and rocks rained down.

Felicia quickly steadied herself against the stone platform.

"What happened? Could it be that we activated the temple's mechanism because we picked up the spirit orb?"

She often saw similar plots in movies, where when adventurers or villains picked up treasures, the ruins' self-destruct mechanism would be activated, burying everyone in the ruins.

"It shouldn't be."

Ben shook his head. He felt a strong energy fluctuation being released, and the enormous energy gathered into ripples, spreading across the entire planet like layers of ocean waves.

Boom!!

Layers of purple light flashed by.

"Someone has awakened the Power Stone!" Ben immediately realized the source of this energy.

Furthermore, the location of the Power Stone was determined from the direction of energy fluctuations—it was in the temple where Star-Lord and Peter were.

At the same time, his Spider-Sense activated.

Ben looked up and saw that the cracks in the ceiling were still widening.

If this continues, even if the power of the gems stops spreading, the water pressure from the deep sea will cause the temple to collapse.

His Spider-Sense was reminding him of this.

"Put on a mask!"

Without his prompting, Felicia had already wrapped her head up again, and even reshaped her Nano Battle Suit into a two-person outfit, enveloping Nebula as well.

The next moment--

Wow!

A tremendous sound of rushing water came from above!

The raging waves instantly destroyed the ruins, and hundreds of tons of boulders and tens of thousands of tons of seawater were swept together to form a huge whirlpool tornado that instantly sank the temple!

boom--

Like an earthquake, it seemed that Ben and Felicia were about to be completely buried.

Without hesitation, Ben pressed the button on the Little Broken Watch.

"Diamondhead!"

The tall, green warriors stood proudly even as the seawater washed over them.

Ben's crystal-like body shimmered with light as he raised his arms to face the giant waves and rocks.

Rumble--

It sounded like the earth's crust rumbling!

A cluster of enormous crystals rose up around him, forming a sphere that enveloped Felicia and him together.

Then, more crystals grew up like ice.

In the blink of an eye, a pillar several kilometers long rose up, like a pillar that stabilizes the sea!

The Long Spear rose from beneath Ben's feet, instantly traversing a seven-kilometer distance with Felicia, piercing the surging sea.

Wow!!!

The black ocean of Morag is roaring.

He looked up at the other side of the world, where terrifying energy stirred up a colossal wave that rose like a white line on the horizon.

Terrifying thunderclouds spread, and purple Flash roared.

There is no doubt that the Power Stone has indeed been awakened.

However, Ben was unaware of the actual situation on Peter's side.

He didn't know whether the gem had already been taken by Ronan, or whether it had fallen to the ground after being awakened.

If he really had to choose, Ben would prefer the former.

Even if Ronan obtained the Power Stone, it wouldn't be a particularly big problem for him.

This person has enormous ambitions. After obtaining the gems, he won't become Thanos's Thanos. However, Ronan can't unleash the true power of the gems, Ben a way to defeat him.

Conversely, if the gem falls to the ground, the planet is doomed.

"Felicia, take her back to the spaceship first, and contact the captain and the others to evacuate."

And what about you?

"I'll go check on the situation."

Ben placed his hand on the watch, and in an instant, the appearance of the Diamondhead began to change, and a red Flash shot into the sky.

"Jetray!"
