After returning to the Ten Rings Empire, Wenwu immediately created a first-tier clone, carrying the Space Stone, and ventured alone into the depths of the Milky Way.
He suddenly realized that the current timeline was exactly where the Guardians of the Galaxy storyline began.
He absolutely must obtain the Power Stone from the storyline.
Odin had previously warned him that he could not collect more than three Infinity Stones.
However, Wenwu was still very unwilling to watch the Power Stone fall into the hands of others.
So he secretly made up his mind.
Let's get our hands on the Power Stone first; if necessary, we can just not bring it back to Earth.
In this way, it shouldn't be considered as having collected more than three gems, so it naturally wouldn't attract the Celestials.
His clone, carrying the Space Stone, followed the coordinates of the interstellar map left by the Chitauri Mothership, opening portals one after another, step by step, heading straight into the depths of the Milky Way.
After traversing through space, the clone soon arrived at a desolate and silent unfamiliar starry sky region.
Just then, Wenwu unexpectedly saw a medium-sized interstellar spaceship suddenly appear in his field of vision.
At that moment, the Ravagers crew on duty on the spaceship saw Wenwu suspended in the vacuum through the observation window, their eyes widening instantly, their faces filled with horror.
"Boss! Look outside! What's that?!"
The young Ravagers froze, his mind reeling with shock.
In the vacuum of space, with temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, violent Cosmic Rays, and suffocating negative pressure, any normal living being would suffocate or freeze to death without a spacesuit.
However, the person in front of them had no protection whatsoever, simply floating quietly in the starry sky as if taking a leisurely stroll!
The leader of the Ravagers quickly moved closer to the observation screen, and the moment he saw the image clearly, his heart sank and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He traveled extensively throughout various star systems, engaging in widespread plunder and destruction. He had witnessed many extraordinary people and events in the universe and possessed a keen eye for talent.
"No protective suits, no energy shields, no spacecraft... the bare body withstands the vacuum of space!"
The leader's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart skipped a beat.
To achieve something like this, one must be at least a top-tier interstellar powerhouse! They are definitely not someone a bunch of lowly pirates like us can afford to mess with!
Several veteran Ravagers nearby also saw what was happening, and they all panicked, feeling both shocked and frightened.
"Damn it, how could there be such a powerful figure in this star system?"
"It seems to have appeared out of thin air; its flight path cannot be detected at all!"
"He's definitely a strong opponent! Let's quickly find a detour! We absolutely mustn't attract his attention!"
Everyone had only one thought in their minds—run! Run as fast as you can!
Beings capable of traversing the stars in their physical form could easily crush their plundering warship; provoking them would mean certain death!
"Silence! Shut down all detection signals! Immediately change course and bypass this star system! Leave at full speed!"
Suppressing his fear, the raiding leader lowered his voice and gave urgent orders, his tone full of apprehension.
The group of Ravagers were all on edge, barely daring to breathe, silently praying that their opponents wouldn't notice them.
However, when they tried to hide, Wenwu gave them no chance at all.
In the next instant, Wenwu flashed and teleported directly onto the bridge of the Ravagers's spaceship.
Before the pirates could react, he activated his Mind Stone power instantly.
It forcibly invades the minds of all the Ravagers, instantly taking control of their thoughts and actions, while rapidly reading everyone's memory information.
Scenes of burning, killing, and looting flooded my mind.
This group of people are all bloodthirsty, ruthless, and heinous space pirates.
Wenwu's eyes were indifferent; he felt no guilt about killing these people.
He casually opened a spatial portal, connecting to the cold, desolate vacuum of space.
Under the control of their Mind Stone abilities, the Ravagers instantly regained consciousness, but they had no control over their bodies.
They could only watch helplessly as they stepped into the space portal, one by one, and then fell into the desolate starry sky.
In an instant, they were exposed to absolute low temperature and vacuum, and died instantly.
After clearing out all the Ravagers, Wenwu raised his hand and activated his metal-based supernatural abilities to cover the entire spaceship, rapidly reshaping and optimizing its structure.
In a short time, the originally dilapidated and ordinary Ravagers warship was completely transformed.
The ship's hull appears to have been reforged and polished, transforming into a brand-new sword-shaped warship with sharp lines and a striking design, boasting a cool appearance and comprehensively upgraded performance.
Wenwu stepped onto the brand-new bridge and activated the spaceship's space jump system.
Target coordinates locked: Xandar the Andromeda Galaxy, adjacent to the Milky Way and part of the Nova Empire.
With the roar of its engines, the sword-shaped warship pierced through the sea of stars, then reached sub-light speed. Hive -shaped spatial node instantly appeared in front of it, and the ship rushed into a wormhole!
"This is the cosmic translator?"
As the spaceship continued to traverse wormholes, Wenwu, holding a chip the size of a little fingernail, said with a surprised expression.
What he got from the Ravagers leader.
This is an indispensable translator in the universe, capable of instantly and synchronously translating the languages of most races in the universe!
It can translate most languages on Earth!
Wenwu pressed it firmly against the back of his right ear.
The Andromeda Galaxy, Xandar.
This interstellar trade hub, Star Ring, is bathed in clear starlight year-round. Skyscrapers stand tall on the ground, airports are bustling, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment.
As the capital of the Nova Empire, it boasts the most robust interstellar defense system, layers upon layers of orbital shields, and a top-tier Nova Corps, maintaining peace in this star system for centuries.
But today, the entire clear starry sky suddenly darkened.
A colossal warship, two kilometers long, tore through the barrier of space. Its pitch-black hull was engraved with ancient, ferocious patterns, and it hovered slowly in the outer atmosphere of Xandar, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
This is the Dark Aster, Ronan the Accuser's flagship.
Ronan is a pure-blooded blue -Kree, born on the Kree homeworld of Hala. He is a high-ranking soldier in the Kree Empire Accuser Corps and an Imperial Inquisitor, wielding the Kree- standard artifact Universal Weapon.
The Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire and the Xandar Nova Corps signed a Thousand-Year Truce Peace Treaty.
However, Ronan's family had died in the war against the Nova Empire for generations, with his father and grandfather all dying in battle. He viewed this peace treaty as a cowardly betrayal, refused to obey the policies of the Supreme Intelligence, broke away from the Kree Empire, and joined forces with the cosmic tyrant Thanos.
The main force attacking Xandar now consists mostly of Thanos's warships!
At this moment, in front of the warship, a dense swarm of fighter jets emerged, like a black locust swarm that blotted out the sky, breaking through the early warning defense line surrounding Xandar.
The alarm blared shrilly at the Nova Command Center, and red and blue warning lights flashed wildly.
Countless silver Nova Fighter soared into the sky, engaging in a fierce battle with Ronan's fighters in near-Earth space.
The artillery fire intertwined into a dense web of light, and fighter jets continuously exploded into dazzling fireworks, their wreckage trailing fiery plummeting into the atmosphere.
On the ground, millions of Xandar civilians looked up at the sky stained red by the flames of war, their panicked screams, children's cries, and the sounds of people fleeing echoing throughout the city.
A bustling interstellar city was instantly transformed into a war-torn hell.
