Seeing Carl intervene.

Arthur had no choice but to stop teasing Wanda. He shrugged and took out his crystal-like phone.

He unlocked the screen and opened a small holographic video window. Inside the frame was Cortana, who was staying aboard The Observer.

Arthur immediately asked, "Sister Na, have you fully taken control of the Dark Aster?"

Cortana nodded lightly. "It's done. What do you need me to do next?"

"Good. Lower the Dark Aster to the coastline south of Sanda City. This warship's technology is nothing special, and I don't need it. We might as well give it to the Nova government," Arthur said.

"Leave it to me," Cortana replied.

The conversation ended.

As Arthur put away his phone, Pietro finally recovered from the severe pain in his abdomen. He stood up, walked over to Wanda, and said with a slightly resentful expression:

"Wanda, I never thought you'd abandon your brother for someone else... You've really broken my heart."

"..."

Wanda did not reply. She merely glared at Pietro in displeasure before shifting her gaze to Heros, who was heading toward them.

As for Nebula, who had been standing beside Mylon all this time, she was no longer as unruly and disdainful as before. Instead, she stared at Heros in disbelief.

Nebula had chosen to cooperate with Ronan because Ronan could withstand the erosion of the Power Stone, giving her the chance to fulfill her wish of killing Thanos.

Yet she had never expected...

Heros had turned Ronan into a lifeless corpse with only two moves, then taken control of the Power Stone without the slightest effort.

This meant that Heros possessed a body tougher than Ronan's. It also meant that Heros had the strength to kill Thanos!

After realizing this, Nebula stared blankly at Heros as he drew closer.
