Xandar was the capital of the Nova Corps, and it was also a planet whose surface was mostly covered by oceans.
The Nova Corps was a highly advanced civilization in the universe, with many colonial planets. It had been at war with the Kree Empire for thousands of years.
A few years ago, Ronan had nearly used the Power Stone to destroy Xandar.
Strictly speaking, it had been Star-Lord and his group who saved the planet.
Though the Nova Corps probably would not be particularly grateful to them.
The Power Stone had been well preserved on Xandar. They had reforged a shell for it, restoring it to the appearance of the Power Stone.
It was an exquisite silver sphere with an openwork design.
Looking down from above the planet, perhaps because the Time Stone and the Power Stone shared some inexplicable resonance, Hong Fei found his destination with almost no time or effort.
It was an exceptionally tall and magnificent building, still immensely conspicuous amid the high-tech city.
This was likely Xandar's administrative center, and the Power Stone was stored in the deepest level beneath the building, under extremely tight security.
Moreover, Xandar housed the Nova Corps' most elite and powerful forces. With the surrounding spacecraft and rows of turrets added in, ordinary people would already struggle to sneak in, while taking away the Power Stone would be a laughable fantasy.

Otherwise, Thanos would not have so
