Xandar is the capital of the Nova Empire. It is also a planet with most of its area covered by oceans.
The Nova Empire is a highly developed civilization in the universe. It has many colonial planets in the universe. It has been engaged in a war with the Kree Empire that has lasted for thousands of years.
A few years ago, Ronan almost used the Power Stone to destroy Xandar.
If we really want to talk about it carefully, it was Star-Lord and his team who saved the planet.
But the Nova Empire probably wouldn't thank them much.
The Power Stone was well preserved by Xandar. They recast a shell and returned it to the form of the Cosmic Spirit Ball.
A delicate silver hollow ball.
Looking down from the sky above the planet, perhaps there is an inexplicable resonance between the Time Stone and the Power Stone. Hong Fei found his destination without spending much time and energy.
It is a very tall and majestic building, which is still very eye-catching in the high-tech city.
This should be the administrative center of Xandar, and the cosmic spirit ball is placed deepest underground in the building and is very tightly defended.
Moreover, Xandar is home to the most elite and powerful Nova Corps in the entire Nova Empire. With the spaceships and turrets parked nearby, it is not easy for ordinary people to sneak in. It is even more ridiculous to take away the cosmic spirit ball.
But in the final analysis, the Nova Empire does not know whether it understands the value and significance of the Power Stone. In short, such means and intensity are enough to protect other treasures, but it still feels a bit awkward when placed on the Infinity Stone.
Moreover, in such a world where individual strength varies greatly, the Nova Empire and the Nova Legion are still far behind.
Otherwise, Thanos will not be able to easily break through the defenses and violently and arbitrarily take away the Power Stone in the future.
Hong Fei ducked in front of the cabinet where the cosmic spirit ball was kept. All the high-tech detection methods around him were completely unable to detect any trace of Hong Fei.
With a slight hook of his fingers, the cosmic spirit ball opened, and the power gem glowing with purple light floated and fell into Hong Fei's palm.
The moment he came into contact with the power gem, an indescribable power came instantly, as if the power of the entire universe was blessing his body.
If you don't have an extremely strong body, then the consequence of holding it directly is that the force rolling into your body will push it until it explodes.
This is indeed different from other gemstones.
So far.
Hong Fei has already come into contact with five of the six Infinity Stones.
Only the soul gem, the main purpose of his trip, was left.
After experiencing the power gem, Hong Fei added a gray and black outfit for himself, completely concealing his face and body shape.
Then, he was seen holding the Soul Gem in his fist and punching the top of his head.
The purple power exploded instantly, and a huge fist phantom quickly penetrated the ceiling, and passed through hundreds of underground spaces in the blink of an eye, eventually causing the city ground to suddenly bulge.
The sudden sound from the underground and the clear and prying vibration caused many Nova Empire people to start negotiations in surprise and fear.
Under their silhouettes, the ground suddenly exploded, and cracks of different sizes and textures were instantly torn out in all directions.
At the same time, a huge purple fist shot into the sky.
Perhaps this scene was so bright that the Nova Empire was unable to react for a moment.
It wasn't until the clouds in the sky were dispersed that the Nova Corps was seen moving.
Fighter planes rushed in one after another from the deep hole, as if they had understood the main reason for the abnormality just now.
The people who fled stared at the entrance of the cave.
Then, as expected, groups of flames suddenly burst out, and straight flames rushed high into the sky.
Then, a figure shrouded in a wide black robe suddenly flew out. The most eye-catching thing was the gold and red metal glove on his left hand.
Hong Fei hadn't done acting for a long time, so he felt a lot unfamiliar after a while.
He originally planned to make a commotion underground, and then fight his way to the surface with the opponent, but in the end he missed and was captured.
Unexpectedly, the power released by the punch that was deliberately restrained just now was actually a bit beyond the standard.
But it's not a big problem.
The moment he ascended into the sky, Hong Fei was immediately targeted by a number of weapons.
In less than half a second, a variety of colorful attacks painted wonderful colors in the air.
Hong Fei quickly dodged and flew away, but the Nova Empire's attack frequency was getting faster and faster, covering an increasingly wider area, and the powerful figures in the Nova Legion were gradually approaching Hong Fei.
In the constant pursuit of each other, Hong Fei kept pulling for more than ten minutes. Finally, he deliberately exposed a flaw as a key point and was hit by the Nova Legion. His body decomposed and disappeared from the inside out.
Fragments of the black robe flew up one after another, followed by the Cosmic Spirit Ball and the Infinity Gauntlet.
After picking up these two items, the Nova Legion members looked serious.
One day later, the news spread throughout most of the universe.
An unknown star field.
A spaceship shut down its engine and wandered freely in the sea of stars.
Inside the spaceship, Star-Lord looked at the messages on the screen with his thick eyebrows dancing.
"There is actually someone trying to steal the cosmic spirit ball. His death was so tragic that not even his body was left."
On the seat next to him, the sprawled Rocket Raccoon scratched his fluffy cheek: "If it hadn't been for my wisdom, all of you would have been dead."
Star-Lord immediately refuted loudly: "Wow! Do you know what you are talking about?! It was obviously my command! And I was the one who held Ronan back at the critical moment and came up with a way, otherwise you and those who robbed yesterday
It’s the same as this guy, he doesn’t even have a body!”
The green-skinned Gamora interrupted: "You just danced like a fool in front of him. If I were Ronan, I would smash your head with a hammer before you twist your ass."
Suddenly, Rocket Raccoon was overjoyed, and Star-Lord was extremely resentful.
The little tree man Groot sat playing games and glanced at them impatiently.
Mantis huddled in the corner and made no sound.
The muscular Drax was silently observing everyone's expressions, looking profound.
After a moment, Star-Lord suddenly spoke again.
"Hey! Guys, let me say, we have nothing to do lately anyway, why don't we go get that thing back now?"
Rocket stood up: "You are talking about the gem that almost destroyed a planet."
Star-Lord snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's it."
Gamora frowned when she heard this. She knew Thanos' purpose better than anyone else, but she couldn't persuade her directly at the moment, so she could only say tactfully: "No, someone just went there yesterday.
Their defense must be tighter now than before. If we attack now, we will fall into a trap. And don't think we can get through like last time this time, they will execute us all."
Star-Lord holds the opposite opinion.
"Gamora, listen to me, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. It is precisely because someone went there yesterday, so it is inevitable for them to strengthen their defense. But from a psychological analysis, I guess not many people can
Thinking we'd go there again immediately."
"No, I don't agree!"
"We have to try, be brave Gamora!"
"I am convinced that I am very brave, and I am also convinced that I am never reckless."
"I'm not a reckless man, you know that right, so you can trust me."
No matter how Star-Lord tried to persuade her, Gamora remained stubborn and shook her head firmly.
Star-Lord had no choice but to turn to others for support. He looked at Rocket Raccoon.
"Brother, what about you?"
"If you admit that I am the leading captain, then I will choose to support your proposal."
Without thinking, Star-Lord turned his head and shouted to the back: "Drax!"
"I agree!" Drax's thick voice sounded.
Star-Lord smiled.
But Drax followed up and said: "That powerful stone should attract Thanos's attention. If we go now, we might just meet Thanos, so that I can kill him with my own hands."
Revenge for my family!”
When Gamora heard this, she became even more worried.
Star-Lord's face also darkened, and he said angrily: "Now I know better than before who you are talking about as Thanos. Your thoughts like this will kill us all."
Drax scoffed: "Coward!"
"Bah! I'm not a coward! I agree with your revenge, and I can even help you get revenge, but we need to plan for the long term instead of just rushing towards each other in a hurry."
"You don't look like a man." Drax said slowly.
Star-Lord was a little anxious: "Of course I am a man, you can ask Gamora... Uh, Gamora, that's not what I meant. Anyway, I suggest that we turn around and go back to Xandar immediately to regain the cosmic spirit ball.
Come back and its value will keep us all from having to work for hundreds of years from now on! Now, hands up if you agree.”
After saying that, he raised his arms high and looked at the others with expectation and attack.
But the result was destined to disappoint him.
No one raised their hands, no one even paid attention to him.
After waiting for a long time, he sat back unwillingly and kept nagging: "Okay, okay, if you don't obey my orders and command as the captain, then we can only miss this golden opportunity.
If you can’t afford food, don’t ask me to borrow money..."
Following his operation, the spacecraft started.
Gamora frowned: "Where are you going?"
"Earth."
"Um?"
"My hometown. I just lost a biological father and a father who is not a father. I miss my mother very much now. I want to go back and see her, even if all I can see is a cemetery."
Gamora's expression softened and she nodded slightly.
The spacecraft engine lit up with blue flames, and in a blink of an eye it escaped into the space node and shuttled quickly.
When the Guardians of the Galaxy and their group received the news, the Thanos fleet traveling around the universe to implement family planning naturally also received the news.
Thanos's fleet is very large, and his flagship Temple II is a veritable giant in the universe.
On the throne, after Thanos listened to Ebony Throat's report, the chair slowly turned around, revealing his blue face and washboard-like chin.
"Abandon the trip and go get the gems. Ebony Maw, go to the Land of Nothingness and don't let the Collector run away with my things."
"yes!"
…
On the other side, Hong Fei returned directly to the collection hall in the Land of Nothingness after leaving Xandar.
The collector was unaware of his arrival.
The other party locked himself in a dark secret room with three items placed in front of him.
In addition to the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter, there is also the Reality Gem sealed in a transparent box by some unknown means.
The three different colors of light complement each other, making his face and eyes full of a strange meaning.
There was only one word in Hong Fei's mind that fit his current state: idiot.
Filled with nausea, Hong Fei withdrew his gaze, escaped into the dragon dimension, actively accelerated to quickly integrate the various energies in the seal, and waited for the time to come.
Thanos moves very quickly, and his fleet does not need to sail slowly in space. It only needs to go to the nearest space jump point to directly reach Xandar.
So, on the third day after the news came out, on a sunny day with pleasant air at noon, the people of Xandar suddenly found that it was dark.
Looking up, I saw the endless Temple No. 2 covering the sky and the sun, and ships of all sizes suddenly appeared around it.
The Nova Empire immediately entered a state of combat readiness, ready to counterattack at any time, and also sent a message to the other party as soon as possible.
And the only response to them was thousands of powerful attacks.
Under a single salvo, the city was almost completely reduced to ruins.
Thanos stood on the earth, and in front of him was Nova Supreme, the supreme leader of the Nova Empire.
A white-haired woman.
When the other party saw Thanos, he called out his name angrily: "Thanos! What do you want to do?!"
Thanos glanced at her: "I'm here to save you."
Xinxing Supreme laughed angrily, but she had no chance to continue to speak rudely. The Deathblade General flashed behind her, and his slender weapon instantly pierced her heart.
A few minutes later, Thanos obtained the cosmic spirit ball underground.
He crushed the silver hollow shell and the purple gem fell into his hands.
Blowing away the debris in one breath, he held the gem in front of his eyes with two fingers, and raised the corner of his mouth with a slight arc.
At this time, the Deathblade General held up another object and presented it to the Infinity Gauntlet.
Thanos took a closer look and instantly understood its purpose.
He grabbed the gloves and saw that the gloves that were originally suitable for adults on Earth immediately expanded, and in the blink of an eye they became the size of Thanos.
Putting on his gloves, Thanos moved the Power Stone closer to the groove on the back of his hand.
A slight suction pulls the Power Stone forward perfectly into its slot.
In an instant, Thanos clenched his fist, and streaks of purple light flowed down his arms and spread throughout his body.
At this time, he increasingly understood that this was not just an item used to fix the six gems, but also allowed him to use the energy contained in the infinite gems in a more detailed manner at a lower cost.
So Thanos clenched his fist with satisfaction, looked at the remaining six grooves, and said calmly: "Go and help this poor planet reduce half of its burden, and then go to the land of nothingness."
