The Guardians of the Galaxy Arrive!

Our gaze stretches across the endless starry sky.

Knowhere.

The private gallery of Collector Tivan.

Star-Lord, with his newly assembled makeshift team, is working on a major deal.

As Thanos's adopted daughter, Gamora naturally knew Tivan.

"Tivan, we've crossed half the Milky Way to bring the Orb." Gamora got straight to the point.

"Very good, let me see your goods."

Tivan looked at Star-Lord behind him.

Star-Lord reached behind him and slammed a silver metal ball covered in intricate patterns onto the table.

Tivan's eyes shone brightly, his expression one of fervor.

"New friends, at the beginning of the Universe, there were six singularities."

"After Universe Big Bang, the remnants of the singularity coalesced into the Six Infinity Stones."

While explaining the science, Tivan carefully sliced open the Orb with the sophisticated instruments in front of him.

The mechanical outer shell peeled away, revealing a purple gem radiating terrifying energy that hovered in mid-air.

"Only the strongest can wield such world-destroying power," Tivan said, his eyes glazed over. "Perfect!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The maid behind him suddenly lost control and rushed forward.

"I've had enough of being a slave!"

The maid screamed and grabbed the purple gem.

The power of the Infinity Stones is beyond the reach of mortals.

Even Thanos needed special equipment to withstand the backlash.

A surge of violent purple energy instantly filled the maid's entire body, triggering a massive explosion.

Boom!

The museum was instantly reduced to ruins.

Star-Lord and his companions got up, covered in dust, and had no choice but to pick up the Orb again and find another buyer.

I just rushed out the door.

He ran headlong into Ronan the Accuser, a radical warlord of the Kree Empire.

With a large army at his command and Thanos backing him, Ronan acts without restraint.

He led his team directly into the Knowhere, openly seizing the Orb.

Without a word, Drax the Destroyer charged forward to fight Ronan one-on-one.

Although Drax was physically strong, he was no match for Ronan.

He was beaten so badly that he vomited blood and was thrown into the nearby yellow mineral liquid pool like trash.

Fortunately Groot arrived in time and managed to pull the person out of the water.

With the Kree army closing in, the Guardians of the Galaxy had no choice but to fight their way out, carving a bloody path to their own ship.

The spaceship's engines roared as it forced its way into space.

Behind them, Ronan's massive fleet was in hot pursuit.

"Find a jump point! Get out of this star system right now!" Rocket Raccoon screamed at the top of his lungs. "If we're even a second later, we'll all be blasted into Universe dust!"

"Don't rush me! I'm looking!"

Star-Lord frantically operated the controls with both hands.

The artillery fire grazed the spaceship's shields and exploded repeatedly.

In desperation, Star-Lord discovers an unknown natural wormhole ahead.

He didn't care whether the star map recorded anything, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the spaceship.

Buzz!

After a period of intense spatial turbulence, the spaceship successfully jumped to an unfamiliar galaxy.

Ahead, a blue planet floats silently in the Universe.

Where have we ended up?

Star-Lord let out a long sigh of relief.

"C14. A very remote, rural planet." Gamora glanced at the star map and said, "If we land here, Ronan will never find us."

After hearing this, Star-Lord didn't say a word. He pushed the control stick and piloted the spaceship straight towards the blue planet ahead.

The wormhole slowly closed.

The azure outer space of the planet was instantly swallowed by a vast shadow. A massive fleet of the Kree Empire warships emerged out of thin air, the endless steel behemoths completely obscuring the starlight.

Radar systems on Earth were completely unaware of it.

Inside the fleet's flagship.

An adjutant knelt on one knee, looking at the tyrant on the throne. "Your Accuser, the target ship has crashed into planet C14 below. Should we immediately initiate orbital bombardment to cleanse the surface?"

In the past, if Ronan encountered a planet with such a low-level civilization, he would have ordered it to be blown to smithereens.

Today, Ronan waved his hand, his face ashen. "No need. Send an elite team down to bring the Orb back."

The adjutant acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Ronan stared at the blue planet on the screen, his eyes blazing with rage.

The shameful memories of more than thirty years ago flooded back.

He was ordered by the Supreme Intelligence to eliminate the traitor Carol Danvers.

That is, the later Captain Marvel Universe.

As a result, Carol single-handedly dismantled most of the fleet, forcing them to retreat in disgrace.

They were even warned never to come near Earth.

Returning to this familiar place today, Ronan's heart was filled with murderous intent.

"Carol, once I obtain the Orb, I will personally tear this planet apart!"

Ronan gripped his Universal Weapon tightly, his eyes filled with madness.

His relationship with Thanos was purely transactional.

Once he obtains the Infinity Stones and possesses invincible power, he will even take down Thanos!

"Prepare the landing craft! I'm going to retrieve the Spirit Orb myself!"

Ronan rose and led a squad of heavily armored soldiers into a small landing craft, heading straight for the Earth's surface.

Let's turn our attention back to Earth.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Nick Fury's secret office.

On the table sat a futuristic-looking alien instrument.

Agent Hill stood before the table, his tone grave. "Sir, Ronan's fleet has returned to the Solar System."

Nick Fury narrowed his One-Eye slightly, his voice completely flat. "Alright, you don't need to wear a disguise in my office."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Hill's body twisted, his skin instantly turning green, transforming him into a pure Skrulls.

"Why would Ronan suddenly show up here?" Nick Fury frowned. "If he wanted to hunt you down, he should have gone to the depths of Universe."

Captain Marvel had already helped the Skrulls find a new home, and Ronan was terrified of them, so there was no reason for him to come back to Earth.

The Skrulls shook his head. "No matter why he came, you're in big trouble now. Quickly use the communicator to call Carol back to save the day."

Nick Fury was silent for a moment.

He reached into his pocket and touched the old-fashioned pager.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally let go.

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? To deal with a few aliens, I have the Avengers."

Nick Fury stood up and immediately activated the highest-level summons.

The Skrulls sighed. "I hope your confidence is justified."

Not long after.

The Avengers all gathered at Stark Tower.

Even Thor, who was in Asgard, rushed over overnight.

Nick Fury glanced around and cut to the chase. "Gentlemen, Earth is in grave danger. Ronan the Accuser's fleet is at our gates."

"Ronan the Accuser?" Tony popped a handful of Blueberries into his mouth, looking completely nonchalant. "Sounds like some third-rate villain from a circus."

Thor, standing nearby, suddenly stood up, his face unusually grim.

"Stark, don't joke around. The Kree Empire is a superpower in the Universe, its overall strength is definitely no less than Asgard's!" Thor's voice was deep. "The Accuser are equivalent to supreme military commanders, holding terrifying armies capable of destroying star systems. Earth is really in deep trouble this time."

Upon hearing Thor's explanation, the entire Avengers instantly dropped their relaxed expressions.

The enemy must be extraordinary to make the proud Thor so wary.

"Excellent. Director, give the orders now. How should we attack?" Steve straightened up and asked in a deep voice.

Nick Fury pulled up satellite surveillance. "Ronan didn't order the artillery to fire; instead, he entered the atmosphere with a small team. Your mission is to capture him alive or kill him on the ground."

"A small squad? Isn't he afraid of being ganged up on?" Tony raised an eyebrow. "What if they lose and the aerial fleet bombards them with its main guns?"

"No," Thor interrupted immediately. "The Kree are inherently warlike. As long as their commander is defeated in a direct confrontation, the fleet will absolutely not retaliate with a planet-slaying attack."

Nick Fury nodded and added, "The difficulty now is that you have to get past Ronan's personal guard first."

"Just a bunch of alien infantry, how hard can they be? Leave it to me." Tony said dismissively.

Nick Fury's One-Eye swept over the gold and red armor, and he spoke softly.

"The Kree are born with superhuman Divine Power. Any ordinary soldier you pick would be on par with Captain America in terms of physical ability."

The air fell into a deathly silence.

Tony's confident expression froze completely.

Are all of them Captain America level?

How can we fight this war?!
