"Clomp! Clomp!"
"Awwoo~."
The open area outside the Dark Aster's bridge was no longer filled with the roar of gunfire. Only the heavy footsteps of the Ceramite Armor magnetic boots remained, along with the low growls of the Elite who still had not killed enough.
Dozens of Astartes and Elites escorted Arthur, Heros, and the others to the massive Security Door.
"Whoosh~!"
Just then, Pietro, who had been darting throughout the entire Dark Aster, suddenly flashed into existence beside them. He had also grabbed a blue-skinned half-human, half-machine woman.
"Let go of me!"
After Pietro returned to normal speed, the woman merely struck him with an elbow, hitting him hard in the abdomen and breaking free of his restraint.
"Ugh... Luo... help me beat her up..."
After taking the elbow, Pietro clutched his lower abdomen in obvious pain. His body curled up on the ground as he whispered toward Arthur in the distance.
As for this half-human, half-machine woman, she was one of Thanos's many children—Nebula.
Nebula possessed superhuman strength and reflexes. Although she could not break free while Pietro restrained her with Super Speed, once his speed returned to normal, Pietro was completely outmatched by Nebula.
But she was not the only one with superhuman strength and reflexes...
"Whoosh!" (The sound of a powerful punch cutting through the air.)
"Bang!" (The sound of a fist striking solid flesh.)
Heros, who was closest to Pietro and Nebula, made a symbolic swing at Nebula with his left fist. As he punched, he infused the tip of his fist with Divine Power, instantly releasing a visible golden shockwave.
The shockwave sent Nebula flying, causing her to spin uncontrollably several times in midair.
After flying more than ten meters, she finally slammed into an Astartes nearby with a "Thud!" Only then did she
