Time flies, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The entire territory of North America has now been completely brought under the rule of the Ten Rings Empire.
The hundreds of millions of local residents have gradually accepted the current situation, settled down, and settled into a peaceful and stable life.
With the implementation of a series of policies benefiting the people in the Ten Rings, the landscape of people's lives has quietly transformed, all sectors of society have become more prosperous and vibrant, and social vitality has far exceeded that of the past.
The vast majority of ordinary people genuinely feel that being ruled by the Ten Rings might be the best outcome.
But this stability is undoubtedly a catastrophe for those restless forces, gangs, and criminal organizations.
For the past six months, the Ten Rings Iron Blood Serpent has been sweeping away evil forces throughout the entire territory.
Many criminal gangs were either killed or fled, and even the well-established the Hand suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw all its members from North America.
If Wenwu hadn't remembered their past relationship of trading K'un-Lun "qi" with Madame Gao and spared her life, Madame Gao would never have had the chance to escape in such a sorry state.
As for Tony and his fellow superheroes, they were never subjected to any strict restrictions, and their daily routines remained unchanged.
As long as they abide by the Ten Rings Law, the Wenwu never make things difficult for them, allowing them to live peacefully and freely.
Steve has already been released.
Having experienced the destruction of his homeland and the collapse of his faith in the nation, he was already disheartened and lived a secluded life in a small town in New York State, tending a farm and detached from worldly affairs.
Meanwhile, the Silver Surfer, who had been imprisoned in the United States for many years, was also freed.
As for all the Skrulls, they had long since been completely wiped out by both Wenwu.
Amidst this stable situation, the new Human Alliance was officially established, spearheaded by the Ten Rings Empire.
The Ten Rings Empire firmly holds the position of leader, unconditionally sharing all cutting-edge high-tech technologies with the outside world to benefit all of humanity.
Moreover, the Xandar space portal, connecting to interstellar space, was officially opened to the outside world, and Earth was able to completely break free from the constraints of its planet and successfully join the ranks of interstellar civilizations.
These earth-shattering changes left countless people around the world speechless, and Tony and his crew were particularly shocked and deeply moved.
Everyone was secretly shocked, finally understanding why the Ten Rings Empire's rise was so unbelievable.
It turns out they had already taken control of the home planet of a top-tier civilization in the universe, which explained their rapid development.
Faced with a brand-new alien planet, Tony, Reed, and other former United States superheroes were filled with curiosity and longing, and seized the opportunity to travel to Xandar to see it for themselves.
After the observation, Tony and Reed volunteered to join the top research team of the Ten Rings Empire.
Wenwu immediately agreed.
These two are both extraordinary geniuses who defy common sense, possessing incredible creativity. They might develop groundbreaking, rule-breaking super technologies at any time, with immeasurable value.
Xandar.
Today, a large number of people from all over the world come to visit and travel here, making the entire planet bustling with activity and a constant flow of people.
If the Ten Rings hadn't implemented a strict visitor flow control mechanism in advance, the vast Xandar would have been completely overcrowded with Earthlings.
At this moment, the entire Xandar system is firmly under the control of the Ten Rings Empire.
Within the star field, countless interstellar fleets and space fortresses are scattered throughout the void, their immense combat power intimidating all sides and causing all surrounding interstellar forces to be wary and dare not provoke them.
For the past six months, the defeated Nova Empire, unwilling to accept its lost territory, has repeatedly assembled allied forces to launch counterattacks against the Xandar. Each time, however, it has been decisively defeated by the Ten Rings Fleet, suffering heavy losses and having no power to retaliate.
During this time, the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire contacted the avatar of Wenwu, feigning a proposal to jointly annex the Nova Empire, and also wanted to invite Wenwu to research the Power Stone together.
Wenwu was full of disdain and immediately rebuked the Kree Empire, mocking it for its wishful thinking and shamelessness.
Although he had long harbored the idea of destroying the Nova Empire, he was not in a hurry.
The vast Xandar system is now sufficient for the Ten Rings Empire and the weak-founded Earth to slowly digest and settle.
Humanity's overall civilization and basic strength are still insufficient; it would be meaningless to rashly conquer too much interstellar territory.
On this day, Wenwu, along with Wanda and Clarice, boarded the fully upgraded Great Emperor's exclusive fighter jet and set off into space, traversing the stars.
"Is this wormhole travel? That's amazing!"
Wanda leaned against the porthole, watching the fighter jets constantly traversing the Hive- like spatial nodes, her eyes filled with amazement.
"I'm feeling a bit dizzy from all the consecutive spatial jumps."
Clarice gently rubbed her forehead. Even though her physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, she still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable after several spatial jumps.
"That should stop making you dizzy."
Wenwu chuckled softly, reached out and pulled the dizzy Clarice into his arms. Her clothes slipped down, and he leaned down to kiss her deeply.
Wanda's cheeks flushed instantly, and she secretly rolled her eyes at Wenwu, her eyes full of shyness.
Half an hour later, the Great Emperor broke through the last wormhole barrier and hovered steadily above a habitable planet slightly smaller than Earth, lush with greenery and full of life.
We've arrived.
Wenwu released the two women from his arms, and a flash of light appeared on his body, instantly covering his naked body with a simple casual outfit.
Wanda glanced at him resentfully, seeing his carefree and unromantic manner.
Clarice looked at Wanda's expression, a faint smile rising on her flushed cheeks.
Seeing that Clarice seemed to be teasing her, Wanda immediately stood up, disregarding the fact that her private parts were exposed, and reached out to pinch Clarice.
"Stop fooling around, sister. We've arrived at our destination. Don't delay Brother Wen's important business..."
Clarice quickly pleaded in a soft, gentle voice.
"Since Wanda is sexually frustrated, then your husband will satisfy you first, and we won't worry about anything else!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wenwu laughed and pounced on the two women.
The next second, a violent tremor suddenly came from inside the massive Great Emperor fighter jet.
If the entire fighter jet hadn't been forged from three top-tier alloys, such violent vibrations would have been enough to shatter the entire aircraft!
Ego the Living Planet.
" Quill, don't you think all of this is too strange? Your father is no ordinary person. With his abilities, how could he not have found Yondu or you all these years?"
Gamora looked at Star-Lord, who was overjoyed to see his biological father, and couldn't help but voice her doubts.
Today, the Guardians of the Galaxy accepted a mercenary mission to travel to the Sovereign civilization and eliminate a transdimensional behemoth.
But after completing the mission, the Sovereign' arrogance and rudeness completely enraged Rocket.
In a fit of rage, Rocket stole the energy battery from the Sovereign civilization, which led to a hunt by the entire race.
Just when everyone was driven to the brink of Extremis, a mysterious spaceship with extremely advanced technology suddenly appeared and saved them all.
The owner of the spaceship was none other than Star-Lord's biological father, Ego, whom he had never met.
Subsequently, the group was invited by Ego to travel together to the mysterious Ego the Living Planet.
"He's already explained it all. He's been looking for me all these years, but Yondu too cunning and has been deliberately hiding from me, so I can't track him down at all!"
Star-Lord was so overjoyed at finding his loved ones that he didn't want to think about the strangeness of the situation.
" Quill, I always felt something was off about you as a father, a feeling that gave me the creeps and made me uneasy."
Drax said in a low voice, his expression worried.
Rocket frowned and nodded in agreement, then continued, "Think about it carefully. His spaceship technology far surpasses that of most powers in the universe. Going to Earth would be an easy matter for him. Why would he specifically entrust Yondu, this Ravagers, to go all the way to Earth to kidnap you?"
"And then there was the Mantis, her eyes darting around, her face full of fear. She clearly wanted to tell us something, but she didn't dare to speak!"
Gamora said, her brows furrowed, her expression growing increasingly grave.
"Don't let your imagination run wild! He's my biological father, and a very kind person. Do you think he tricked us into coming here just to kill us?"
Star-Lord shook his head, his tone resolute. "With his terrifying strength, if he truly intended to kill, we would have been dead halfway there. There would be no need for this trouble. Stop worrying unnecessarily!"
Although he had a slight doubt in his heart, he had finally found his biological father, who was kind and gentle, so it was hard to imagine that.
"It would be better if they were all dead."
Nebula, who had been quietly crouching in the corner, suddenly spoke up.
"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you. Stop jinxing and cursing!"
The Rocket immediately responded with a sarcastic remark.
Nebula relentlessly pursued the guards, but after being defeated and captured, she remained cold and sarcastic, harboring deep hostility towards everyone.
