Rocket: But He Paid So Much!

Although Loki said that Korg was doomed, Felicia didn't actually care that much about it.

Anyway, there's still Mary Jane on Earth, so one more Red Wind Queen won't make a difference.

Extraterrestrials might have a different perspective.

Who knows who might do it next?

In short, Felicia currently has no other feelings for Looma besides curiosity.

She was willing to get to know him, but he seemed to be still recovering.

Just then, the battle in the Gladiator Arena came to a conclusion. Peter and T'Challa joined forces to take down dozens of warriors, which immediately drew cheers from countless spectators.

Korg thought the two of them were capable of becoming senior Plumbers, unaware that Peter was already a member of the Plumbers.

As for Steve and the Winter Soldier, they didn't have the energy of Peter and weren't competitive, so they had no intention of playing.

Steve toured the Imperial Capital city and discovered that Sakaar might not actually be that wealthy.

Many areas are still under development and construction, but people living here seem happier than those in New York.

He felt that this was the beautiful future he had once longed for and strived for.

Several hours later, the group returned to the top of the Totem Tower.

At this time, the Rocket also received the large sum of money that Ben had promised him, which made him extremely excited. He immediately wanted to Ben.

"From now on, your Galactic Plumbers's affairs are my affairs. As long as Rocket can do it, I will absolutely not refuse!" Rocket said, patting his chest. "Of course, the money can't be small!"

He felt that a planet as wealthy and powerful as the Galactic Plumbers had a promising future!

If we build a good relationship now, he'll be able to handle all the future commissions. Why would we be afraid of not having money in our next life?

No, working alone is too slow. It would be best to form a team so we can make big money!

The Rocket, like a shrewd businessman, rubbed their hands together, lost in their own fantasies.

Ben interrupted him.

"What a coincidence, we actually do have a mission."

Rocket immediately raised his head, and his eyes seemed to turn into the shape of money.

He jumped onto the table, arms crossed, and declared boldly, "Tell me, even if you want to blow up the Chitauri Helicarrier, I'll take care of it!"

"Very well, then you go and bomb the Chitauri mothership."

Ben nodded in agreement.

Rocket:???

Now it was the Rocket' turn to be dumbfounded.

"What did you say?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Ben gave him a strange look, then said matter-of-factly, "You promised to bomb the Chitauri Helicarrier, didn't you?"

"That was just a metaphor! You understand, a metaphor? Who knew you guys were actually going to blow up your mothership?!"

The Rocket was furious.

He's only good at talking big.

Like some netizens on certain websites, the Chitauri may be very strong, but sorry, you're nothing when I'm bragging.

You have to practice!

But if I were to actually let him do it, I'd rather not.

Everyone says that defeating the Chitauri only requires blowing up their mothership, but how many people can actually do that?

I urge you to calm down.

Rocket said, "The Chitauri are not easy to deal with. If their mothership were so easy to blow up, they wouldn't have such a bad reputation in the universe."

It's fair to say that the Chitauri are extremely annoying in the universe. If they were so easy to deal with, there wouldn't be so many planets they've ravaged.

"Not to mention, Thanos is standing behind them." Rocket wasn't as ignorant as Star-Lord.

He knew more information and was well aware of just how powerful Thanos was.

In Rocket's view, the Galactic Plumbers were only trying to take action against Thanos because they didn't know he was the Chitauri 'Thanos backer.

As long as Thanos's name was mentioned, Ben and the others naturally wouldn't dare to have such thoughts anymore.

However...

"We're fighting Thanos."

Felicia crossed her arms and said.

The Rocket was stunned for a moment.

He suspected that either there was something wrong with his ears, or there was something wrong with Felicia and the others' brains.

"Are you serious?"

Everyone nodded at him.

"Thanos will kill you all," Rocket said, shaking his head. "What a pity. I thought I'd found a long-term partner, but I didn't expect you'd be dying so soon."

Groot is gone.

He put on a regretful expression, waved to Groot who was carrying the money, and gestured for Groot to follow.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and said goodbye, "Don't worry, we'll always remember you."

"By the way, if you're willing to give me another tens or hundreds of billions, I might risk being targeted by Thanos and come to pay my respects to you every year."

I am groot.

Groot nodded seriously.

Peter scratched his head and asked, "Can I beat them up?"

"Calm down, Peter," Ben said to Rocket, stopping his cellmate who was always ready to throw dirt in other people's eyes.

"Thanos been watching you for a long time."

"How could I not know?" Rocket said with a "you're kidding me" look, his face contorted with rage, "I have no connection with that guy whatsoever."

"Yeah?"

"Don't tell me you found the Kree warship you sold me."

"What do the Kree warships have to do with Thanos... wait, you mean even the Kree have sided with Thanos?"

The Rocket ' faces fell.

At that moment, he felt like the sky had fallen.

When did the Kree become Thanos?

Kree, one of the Three Great Empires, really so spineless?

He was furious, thinking that he had finally earned some money, but he never expected that money would be so hot to handle.

Of course, if he were to give up the proceeds from selling the spaceship now, all would be well. But now that he has the money, there's no reason for him to give it up.

"After it's done, I'll give you another four billion, how about that?"

Ben asked again.

Rocket suddenly hardened his heart, waved his hand, and started swearing.

"Damn it, let's do it!"

"They're just a bunch of brainless blue locusts, I'll blow them all up!"

"But I'm letting you know beforehand that if anything goes wrong, I'll evacuate immediately," the Rocket said.

Ben gave him a lot, but he was all alone, and no amount of money was worth sending him to his death.

"I am groot?"

Groot made a questioning sound, seemingly trying to persuade the Rocket to back down.

"Elderly care?"

"That's four billion! How can you support someone in retirement?!"

Even when I'm ninety, I'll still be at the age to work hard!

So Rocket and Groot were assigned by Ben to destroy the Chitauri Helicarrier.

Of course, Ben wouldn't feel at ease even if it were just the two of them; among all the members of the Guardians of the Milky Way, there aren't many reliable ones.

Dealing with the Chitauri was the safest part of the battle.

So Ben brought Felicia, Peter, and T'Challa into the group as well.

"And what about us?"

Steve and the Winter Soldier asked.

"Thanos is currently heading to Xandar. Without a doubt, he intends to destroy the Xandarian as his first sacrifice after obtaining the Power Stone."

Ben said, "You're going to Xandar with Caiera. Even if all the Chitauri are dead, the Black Order and the Kree Accusers are still a huge army. If we can cooperate with the Nova Corps, the pressure on us will be much less."

That being said, Ben's real goal was to recruit the Nova Corps.

After all, it's not Sakaar's facing a crisis of destruction right now.

Xandarian don't offer something in return, where will they find such kind-hearted people willing to help them?

Steve and the Winter Soldier both nodded, having no objections whatsoever. As for Caiera, she was completely obedient to Ben.

They immediately began to take action, especially since the trip to Xandar was of utmost urgency.

Brunnhilde had also traveled to the Andromeda Galaxy several hours earlier in an attempt to establish a partnership with the Symbiote.

Bill is still modifying the Giant Battleship. In order to fight Thanos, all the Security Officer of the Galactic Plumbers, except for Loki and Ben himself, have been mobilized.

"Should I go to Asgard and find some help?" Loki asked.

Upon hearing this, Ben laughed and said, "What, aren't you afraid of getting a beating from your dad when you get home?"

Loki waved his hand fearlessly.

Ben said, "Not for now, we already have plenty of Plumbers."

This war, besides defeating Thanos, was also to enhance the reputation of the Galactic Plumbers.

It would be bad if too many Asgardian joined, and according to Brainstorm's calculations, the current number is already sufficient.

The number of the Black Order wasn't particularly large to begin with, and the number of Ronan's Accusers was even smaller. Once the Chitauri were completely wiped out, then numbers wouldn't be an issue.

Thanos is the real enemy.

Upon hearing this, Loki nodded, acknowledging Ben's statement.

Then he asked curiously, "What about the gem Steve Rogers mentioned? Didn't you already bring back the Power Stone? Has a new gem appeared?"

"Oh, this," Ben smiled slightly and said, "The gem in Thanos's hand is actually fake; it only temporarily stores the power of the laws, and it won't be long before it completely loses its magic."

"Such a thing is true?"

Loki exclaimed in surprise, "I bet his expression will be priceless!"

At first, he thought Thanos had actually obtained one of the Infinity Stones.

If that's the case, then it's indeed a bit difficult to handle.

But now that he knows the truth, Loki is no longer worried.

No matter how powerful Thanos is, without a single Infinity Stone, how can he possibly contend with the Galactic Plumbers?

In terms of raw talent, Ben is no less capable than him, and he also has key players like Caiera, Brunnhilde, and Bill under his command.

If we include Loki and Looma, wouldn't that make them the new Black Order?

Thanos, all alone, is no match for the Galactic Plumbers.

After that, Ben went to the prison cell.

It's not exactly a prison, but it does hold three people: Nebula, Gamora, and Star-Lord.

His goal is— Star-Lord's genes.
