Sakaar, Galactic Plumbers Headquarters.

Caiera is based at headquarters, managing thousands of Plumbers.

The second batch of Earth-aid troops from the Plumbers has been assembled. These are peacekeeping forces sent from planets within the jurisdiction of the Galactic Plumbers, including the Nova Corps rebuilt on Xandar, as well as various aliens.

The Galactic Plumbers now faces Vilgax, who rules over several kingdoms, so there's no need for them to fight alone. After ensuring the safety of their own planets, these planetary civilizations have sent their surplus troops to provide support.

This also includes some soldiers who do not belong to a fixed country.

--For example, Captain Marvel.

In fact, ever since she met Ben at the Galactic Conference, Carol had become a nominal member of the Galactic Plumbers. Ben gave her a communication tool, Carol gladly accepted.

This time, it wasn't that Ben specifically asked her for help; in fact, Ben had almost forgotten about her. However, Carol heard about the troubles on Earth from space, so she contacted the Galactic Plumbers Headquarters through communications and offered to come and help.

Caiera would naturally not refuse such a powerful fighting force.

Meanwhile, Brunnhilde, Loki, and others who went to Heaven to rescue Thor also returned successfully. With most of the angelic army having left Heaven to fight on the front lines, Heaven's defenses were severely weakened.

However, Thor did not return immediately.

The appearance of his mother Frigga filled him with joy, for he had thought Odin and Frigga were both dead.

But he also realized his own weakness. In order to prevent everything from repeating itself and to be able to defeat the final enemy, after being rescued by Loki, he went alone to the Old Celestial Palace, hoping to find power there that could rival Odin's.

He has made up his mind to become a true king.

"So, the second batch of reinforcements is quite large."

Nick Fury, having come with Carol, also successfully infiltrated the Galactic Plumbers Guild. However, aside from one eye that kept wandering around restlessly, he didn't do anything else out of line.

Assessing his surroundings was an instinctive reaction for him as a secret agent; he didn't take any unnecessary actions because he didn't want to die yet...

If he causes trouble here, even Carol might not be able to save him.

He still vividly remembered the scene of Ben creating a black hole by hand at the Galactic Conference, but what surprised him even more was that even such a powerful organization as the Galactic Plumbers was now in ruins.

This makes him somewhat worried about the enemies Earth now faces.

Can the Galactic Plumbers really win?

Besides Ben, how many other capable warriors does the Galactic Plumbers have?

"So, if I may ask, who is your Best Plumber of the Year?" Nick Fury asked.

Actually, he did have some idea of the answer in his heart.

Ben Parker, King of Sakaar, the man who can create black holes with his bare hands, is undoubtedly the Best Plumber of the Year.

However, as the founder of the Galactic Plumbers, he might not participate in the selection. As for the others...

Thor Thor, having reportedly regained his divine powers and being the former eldest prince of Asgard, the Lord of the Nine Realms, will undoubtedly experience a surge in strength upon his return from the Old Celestial Palace. Therefore, awarding him the title of Best Plumber of the Year " is truly well-deserved!

Princess Looma, the Red Peak Queen, a former Fighting Champion, is the object of admiration for all female electricians; her strength is beyond doubt.

Caiera, the de facto manager of the Galactic Plumbers, was once revered as the Supreme Warrior, and everyone would certainly agree that she deserved the title of Best Plumber of the Year.

Or Bill Ray Beta, a highly skilled and renowned martial artist who has made outstanding contributions to the Galactic Plumbers, would also be a worthy candidate for the year's best.

If all else fails...

Nick Fury's mind raced through names: Eunice, with her Infinity Stones, Wanda, with her immense potential...

Ben Parker.

Without a second thought, Caiera answered immediately.

"Holy crap, who is Ben Parker?" Nick Fury was dumbfounded.

He did know of a Ben Parker — Ben's uncle—but as far as Nick Fury knew, Ben's uncle was just an ordinary old man from Earth, old, poorly educated, with no Superpowers, and a very honest and law-abiding person.

What makes him worthy of being Best Plumber of the Year?

"He was injected with the Super Soldier Serum and now possesses the same abilities as Steve Rogers."

Caiera said, "Captain America, a classic character like Mario, is that reason enough?"

Isn't this a knock-off version?

Nick Fury was dumbfounded.

"Nonsense, how can it be called a knock-off? I was simply influenced by him and learned a lot from him. Besides, I'm a good person, and everyone likes me," Caiera said.

This is the truth.

Uncle Ben is very popular at the Galactic Plumbers Headquarters and in other planetary branches he has visited so far; everyone who knows him knows he is a good person.

"But his fighting ability is probably..."

Nick Fury hesitated for a moment before swallowing his words. Whether it was fun or powerful was no longer important; what mattered was that Ben's last name was "Parker," and that was enough.

"Okay, so where is your Best Plumber of the Year?"

"It's probably Ego's Planet."

Caiera frowned slightly and looked into the depths of space.

--

The blue spatial tunnel opened.

Ben emerged from the void and landed on an empty spaceship, which drifted aimlessly in space like a ghost ship.

"Nobody here?"

Ben was somewhat surprised.

He arrived based on the coordinates of the signal emitted by Uncle Ben and his crew's spaceship, but to his surprise, there was no one on board.

"Even the Galactic Plumbers Badge isn't getting a signal. Could it be blocked?"

Generally speaking, the signal of the badge is difficult to block because it uses dark matter communication, but it is still possible if the other party is Ego.

After all, he is Celestial who has existed since the beginning of the universe and has the power to control matter. The Quantum Realm is not inaccessible to him.

But then, finding the other person becomes a problem.

Just then, an alarm suddenly sounded on the spaceship drifting in space. Ben looked up from the cabin and saw that thousands of small, golden fighter jets, like Xing Yi, had surrounded him.

"These are... the drones of those aliens who get inside your skin?"

Ben recognized the newcomers as members of the Sovereign from Guardians of the Galaxy. 2, and frowned slightly.

The Sovereign race is arrogant and haughty by nature, and their technological level is among the best in the universe, making them a troublesome group.

Moreover, like the Rocket, they are a race created by the High Evolutionary High Evolutionary and have intricate connections with it.

Ben wasn't afraid of a mere High Evolutionary, even if some speculated that the High Evolutionary was actually a variant of Kang. The Multiverse was countless, and one or two variants meant nothing.

Moreover, the technological capabilities demonstrated by the High Evolutionary are probably not even comparable to Doctor Animo's Gene Variator.

That being said, Ben still intended to see what these Sovereign were planning to do.

"If it's according to the movie plot, they should be tracking the Rocket that stole the Batteries; maybe they have some intelligence."

Although the situation is very different now than in the movies, and even the Guardians of the Galaxy have become the Galaxy Volunteers, Ben thinks that, given Rocket and Star-Lord's nature, there's a high probability that they'll help the Sovereign get the Batteries back first, and then steal it again.

Rocket isn't the kind of person who would remain indifferent after being humiliated by the Sovereign.

Just then, a communication signal came from the surrounding spaceships, which surprised Ben quite a bit. He had thought these little golden men were planning to take direct action.

"The Galactic Plumbers are skilled in Plumbers. We, the Sovereign, have no intention of being enemies with the Galactic Plumbers, but Star-Lord, who calls himself the Galaxy Volunteers, stole our treasures and trampled on our dignity. We hope you will not protect them."

Attacking the Galactic Plumbers?

Ayesha stated that she wasn't that brain-dead.

Although the Sovereign race has a high opinion of themselves, they are still somewhat aware of their own strength. The Sovereign race is considered to have some strength in the universe, at the level where they can barely be considered worthy of being seated at the table, but they are far inferior to the true big shots.

Leaving aside Sakaar, one of the Four Great Empires, even Xandar or Spartax would be enough to give them a hard time.

A conflict with Sakaar was absolutely not in the Sovereign clan's plans. On the contrary, they hoped to curry favor with Sakaar, of course, in their own way.

Therefore, this time they did not launch an attack after surrounding the spaceship, but instead showed an attitude of wanting to negotiate with the Galactic Plumbers.

However, they were clearly unaware that the Galaxy Volunteers was actually under the name of the Galactic Plumbers.

Ben had initially thought a conflict was inevitable before he could have normal communication with the other party, but since they were able to speak politely, he didn't intend to do anything to the Sovereign tribe. Instead, he sent a request for communication to see if he could get some information from them.

Soon, the face of the Sovereign High Priest appeared before Ben.

The other person was clearly more surprised than Ben.

"You are... King of Sakaar!"

Ayesha never expected that she would actually surround Sakaar King's spaceship, and she became extremely nervous. The power that Ben had shown at the Galactic Conference was enough to wipe out the Sovereign race.

She explained in a flustered manner, "King of Sakaar, ruler of the Galactic Plumbers, please forgive my rudeness..."

The high priest recounted the events in detail.

At first, things weren't too different from the movie. They asked the Galaxy Volunteers to retrieve their Batteries, but after paying them, the Batteries were stolen.

This deeply humiliated Ayesha, who immediately ordered the pursuit and killing of Star-Lord and his crew.

However, for some unknown reason, their fleet was completely wiped out by an unknown enemy. Then, they discovered that the Galactic Plumbers's ships had appeared in this star system and seemed to be planning to protect Star-Lord and his crew.

Ayesha dared not confront the Galactic Plumbers head-on, so she once again dispatched a new fleet to prepare for negotiations.

As for where the people on the spaceship went during this time, they had no idea.

"So, you don't know their whereabouts either."

"Your Majesty King of Sakaar, ruler of the Galactic Plumbers, the Galaxy Volunteers have shown utter contempt for our Sovereign race. I humbly beg you, once you find them, hand them over to us," Ayesha pleaded, her head bowed.

This isn't really a difficult request, provided that Rocket and Star-Lord aren't members of the Galactic Plumbers.

"I'll have them return the Batteries to you." Ben then hung up the communication.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe, the High Priest of Sovereign looked extremely grim.

"He's humiliating us! He doesn't respect us at all!" a minister beside him cursed through gritted teeth. "High Priest, this matter cannot be left like this!"

"Shut up!"

Ayesha gave him a cold look. "What do you want? To attack the Galactic Plumbers? If you're looking for death, go ahead and die yourself, don't drag the High Race down with you!"

The minister was immediately rendered speechless.

I'm fighting Sakaar King?

It's sealed!

"There's no need to mention this matter again. King of Sakaar has promised to return the Batteries, and he surely won't break his promise. Also, inform the Ravagers to withdraw the bounty on the Galaxy Volunteers."

The Sovereign have given up on hunting Star-Lord, but Yondu has no intention of simply abandoning the effort.

He knew that Ego had probably found Star-Lord and wanted to take him back to his planet. Yondu didn't want Star-Lord to die; he had raised Star-Lord himself over the past few decades, not to send him to his death.

Of course, his subordinates clearly didn't think so.

"Boss, the Sovereign clan has already withdrawn the bounty. Why are you still looking for that kid? Don't tell me you're worried about him!"

Over the years, everyone except Star-Lord could see Yondu's favoritism towards that kid Star-Lord.

These Ravagers had long harbored resentment.

"Of course not!" Yondu bared his uneven teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Sovereign doesn't plan to pay us, but we can't work for nothing! Those Batteries are in Star-Lord's hands; if we get them, we can sell them for $250,000 on the black market!"

It's not as much as the originally promised one million, but it's better than going home empty-handed.

Yondu's mouth is harder than his Whistle Arrow.

However, what he said made sense, so his subordinates decided to trust him one more time.

"But where are we going to find Star-Lord now?"

"I have a way." Yondu said calmly. He did have a way. In fact, he had always placed a tracking device on Star-Lord's ship, but he had never mentioned it to anyone.

But before he could go see Star-Lord, he needed to meet someone first...

So, a few hours later, after Sovereign's ship had evacuated, Ben saw the Ravagers's ship again.

"You must be the founder of the Galactic Plumbers, the King of Sakaar!" Upon seeing Ben, Yondu gently tapped his heart twice and bowed slightly to show his respect.

Then he said impatiently:

"I know the location of Star-Lord and the Plumbers on this ship."
