The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 300: Defense of Xandar

Xandar, the capital's central control room.

The automatic door opened, and a centurion walked into the command room and began to report.

"Your Majesty, the Nova Corps is in place. No matter what those marauders are planning, we can keep the enemy out of the planet."

Queen Adora, standing in front of the holographic screen, sighed and said, "If it's just the plunderers, I'm not too worried. The Nova Corps will make them break their heads and bleed. But if what that man named Quill said is true and Ronan has obtained the Infinity Stones, then Xandar may be in danger of being destroyed."

"As long as we can stop Ronan from landing, he will not have the chance to use the Infinity Stones." Centurion Romandai saw that the atmosphere was rather solemn and spoke hurriedly.

Adora also realized it and took a deep breath and said, "That's right. No matter who the enemy is or what they plan to do, we cannot retreat. We must stop the enemy outside the planet. In addition, once the war really starts, immediately activate the emergency plan and evacuate the people outside the city."

On the holographic screen, many stars suddenly appeared out of thin air. When you look closer, you will find that they are all fighter planes.

"Your Majesty, the Predator fighter group has appeared. Should we attack them?"

Queen Adora hesitated and shook her head, "Not yet. We are not sure of their intentions yet. Let's prepare for defense first. If they dare to attack Xandar, then we must counterattack immediately."

After receiving the order, the centurions immediately split up and made their own preparations. However, after waiting for a long time, they only saw the group of fighters hovering in the sky with their backs to the planet, obviously guarding against enemies attacking from space.

"Centurion Romandai, contact the man named Quill and ask when Ronan will arrive."

After the call was connected, Quill was obviously very excited, which meant that their chances of survival were a little greater.

"I'm glad you believe the news I brought you, Centurion Romandai."

Roman Dai had a stern face and asked meticulously, "Before you and Ronan go to war, I won't completely believe what you say. You said Ronan will attack, when will it be?"

"Uh..." Quill's expression froze for a moment. "Normally, he should have arrived. But our detection radar didn't detect any of Ronan's warships. I don't know if he is secretly planning something. After all, Thanos is standing behind him."

Gamora poked her head over and interrupted, "Thanos is determined to get the Power Stone, and I don't know what kind of support he will give Ronan. Even if a hundred warships appear, I will definitely not be surprised. Don't underestimate it."

Queen Adora nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Thank you for the information you provided. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, the Nova Corps will always remember your friendship."

As he was speaking, suddenly an alarm sounded, a huge red spot appeared on the holographic screen, and Ronan's battleship appeared.
-
Zhan Liu and the other man didn't know that the hammer on the ground had the Infinity Stone on it, so Nebula successfully took Ronan's hammer, and then pointed at the Power Stone on it, shouting at the two of them in a cowardly manner.

"Do you know what this is?"

"This is the Power Stone!"

"It's one of the six Infinity Stones!"

"This gem can destroy everything!"

"If you don't want to die with me, get out of here immediately!"

As the Valkyrie of Asgard, Valkyrie knew the reputation of the Infinity Stones and stopped attacking immediately. Zhan Liu glanced at her strangely, and then Valkyrie translated Nebula's words.

"The Power Stone?"

After hearing this name, Zhan Liu deduced the plot and characters and immediately knew. The bald cyberpunk woman in front of him was Thanos' daughter Nebula, and the guy lying on the ground wailing constantly must be Ronan the Accuser.

This should be the plot where Ronan just got the Power Stone and planned to destroy Xandar, but his attention was attracted by Star-Lord's awkward dance, and he was successfully overturned by Rocket Raccoon.

Ronan's death was so unjust!

The Power Stone is a good thing, although it is of no use to him.

In terms of power alone, Zhan Liu can also destroy the planet. However, the Infinity Stones have another advantage, which is that their weight is high enough. As the cornerstone of the Marvel Universe, nothing is more important than these six stones.

If Zhan Liu had a power gem in his hand when facing the dual-core space battle fortress that day, he would not be helpless in the face of the shield formed by the space gem. In the end, if he did not have the palm method of hitting the bull from behind the mountain, I am afraid that the final winner would be Dr. Zora.

When Zhan Liu first got the Aether, he had no magic power, so he couldn't use it at all. So he wasn't interested in it and just gave it to Asgard. But now even a fool like Ronan can use this Power Stone, so there's no reason why he can't use it.

Xingyun had been watching the enemy very carefully. When she heard them communicating in a language she didn't understand, she quickly switched on the interstellar translator to listen to what they were saying. Then she saw Zhan Liu's eyes suddenly light up and he reached out to grab the hammer in her hand.

"Go to hell!" Seeing that the peace talks had failed, Xingyun immediately swung his hammer and smashed towards Zhan Liu.

She was very confident in the power of the Power Stone, believing that as long as the enemy was hit by the hammer, there would be only one way to go. As for whether she could survive the power of the Power Stone, it all depended on luck.

But the plan is full of hope, and the reality is very skinny.

Zhan Liu flipped his wrist to avoid the hammer head and reached out to grab the hammer handle.

"Fighting is something that requires skills. It's not just a head-on collision." Zhan Liu laughed at Xingyun, then exerted a little force in his hand and snatched the hammer away.

Zhan Liu said half with a sigh and half with a self-warning: "If it is not your own strength, it will be illusory after all. External things can only be used, not relied upon."

As he spoke, he reached out and crushed the hammer head, holding the power gem in his hand.

Before Xingyun recovered from the fear of losing the hammer, she saw the enemy was so stupid as to touch the power gem with his hand. She couldn't help but laugh wildly with excitement:
"Haha...you must be so stupid!"

"You can't touch the Power Stone with your hands, otherwise... otherwise..."

Then she was surprised to find that Zhan Liu's hand holding the gem was completely intact. She stared blankly at Zhan Liu tossing the gem around like playing with marbles, without any sign of destruction.

"How, how is this possible?" Xingyun's eyes almost popped out.

In her entire life, she has only seen one person who could touch the Infinity Stones with bare hands without dying, and that was her nightmare, the source of all her pain, her adoptive father Thanos.

But even if he is as powerful as Thanos, the King of Destruction, picking up the Infinity Stones, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it as easily as the guy in front of him, right?

But in fact, in a place invisible to the naked eye, the violent power of the Power Stone has been injected into Zhan Liu's body, constantly destroying his cells, while Zhan Liu is constantly urging the cells to reorganize and continuously repair and regenerate.

Zhan Liu was not tossing the power gem for fun, but using the tossing action to allow the power gem to briefly leave his body, buying more time for his body to repair itself, so as to avoid getting cracks all over his body, bleeding all over, and losing all his cool.

However, Xingyun and Valkyrie were not aware of this and were completely shocked by the ease with which Zhan Liu managed the task.

Valkyrie was fine. She had already witnessed Zhan Liu's strength before, so she didn't find it too strange now. She just raised the evaluation standard a bit, from the standard of the goddess of death Hela to the level of the god king Odin.

But Xingyun was not prepared for this and was stunned all of a sudden, realizing that Zhan Liu was actually at the same level as Thanos, a powerful person at the level of the cosmic overlord. She already had a psychological shadow on Thanos, and now seeing Zhan Liu, who was at the same level, she was immediately at a loss.

The brave warriors of the Kree Empire continued to rush forward one after another, trying to rescue their commander, but bravery cannot be used to make a living. The only result of their rush was to add some battle records to Valkyrie.

Ronan's surroundings were already filled with corpses, and it was difficult for the soldiers behind him to get in. But they had no other options. If Ronan died, they could choose a temporary commander according to the Kree Empire's wartime regulations. But Ronan was not dead yet, and was howling miserably, sounding like he had plenty of energy, without any signs of exhaustion.

They couldn't win by fighting, couldn't save, and couldn't escape. In desperation, they had to turn their attention to the person with the highest status besides Ronan - Nebula, hoping that she could make a decision, such as surrendering.

Nebula's will had been completely destroyed by Zhan Liu's performance. She swallowed and said dryly, "Ronan serves Thanos, the Lord of the Universe. The Power Stone also belongs to Thanos. You can't just take it away like this."

Her outwardly strong but inwardly weak appearance made Valkyrie laugh. "If you speak louder, I'll believe what you say."

Nebula took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "What I said is true. I can contact Thanos right now and have him talk to you."

Zhan Liu continued tossing the power gem in his hand up and down, glanced at her, and said:
"The treasures of this world have always belonged to the virtuous. This power gem is destined for me. It is impossible for you to get away with it by using Thanos' name. From today on, you are my slaves. If Thanos is dissatisfied, you might as well let him come to me in person to settle the account."

Xingyun tried to concentrate on the situation for a long time but didn't dare to refuse.

Those who are truly not afraid of death would have died at the hands of Thanos long ago and would not be alive today. To put it bluntly, all of Thanos's men are afraid of death, and Nebula is no exception.

After subduing Nebula and the Kree behind her, Zhan Liu gave the order for the warship to continue moving forward and head straight for Xandar.

This Ronan's warship is much cooler than the private luxury spaceship that Zhan Liu got from Gao Tianzun, but it also consumes a lot of energy. Apart from other things, the energy required for flying is 10,000 times that of a private luxury spaceship. In addition, there are various weapons and ammunition, daily maintenance, food and water, etc., which are all astronomical figures.

When Ronan was the leader of the Kree Accusation Group, he naturally had the support of the Kree Empire. After leaving the Kree Empire, Ronan could only rely on looting to obtain energy blocks.

Zhan Liu now particularly missed the human life battery that Zora had invented. As long as he could get ten or eight warriors with a magnetic field rotation of one level and stuff them into this battleship, it would definitely be able to function as a perpetual motion machine.

But he didn't have that kind of technology, and he couldn't get magnetic field warriors here, so he had to use the conventional method to go to Xandar for supplies, and then go to Sovereign to take revenge on them for destroying his private luxury spaceship. Moreover, the energy battery on Sovereign seemed to have a high technical content, and he could definitely make a lot of it.

After there is enough energy, we can drive Ronan's battleship back to Earth. Wouldn't that be cooler than the previous small spaceship?
As for the war on Earth, without Dr. Zola, the God of Space War, it should have ended long ago, right? It doesn't matter if it didn't end. Zhan Liu doesn't care who wins or loses. Anyway, it's just a fight between his own disciples. Tony and his friends have a closer relationship with Zhan Liu. Of course, it would be better if they can win, but it's no problem for Killmonger to win.

As a result, the battleship arrived a little later than in the original plot.

When this battleship appeared in the airspace of Xandar, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Just as Xandar was preparing to go to war, an open communication suddenly came in. Not only did Queen Adora receive it, but the Plunderers also received it.

"I'm sure Ronan wants to say something harsh to vent his anger for the successful destruction of Xandar." Quill curled his lips, very disdainful of Ronan's behavior, but still answered the call.

As soon as the signal came through, Gamora was shocked, "Nebula?"

Nebula had a gloomy face and was very unhappy, but he declared helplessly: "This battleship no longer belongs to the accuser Ronan. From today on, this battleship, and..."

She turned her head unhappily and glanced at the side, then continued, "All the creatures on the battleship belong to the universe overlord from Earth, the great Ultimate Wuliang Sect leader, the Earth Martial God, His Excellency Zhan Liu."

After he finished speaking, the camera turned to Zhan Liu who was sitting on Ronan's command throne, and Ronan who was wailing not far from Zhan Liu's feet.

The news was so exciting that everyone was stunned.

Queen Adora hurriedly asked the people around her:
"Have any of you heard of this cosmic overlord?"

"Which empire's home planet is this Earth?"

"What's the personality of this Zhan Liu? Look at the bloody man at his feet. He seems to be very cruel!"

Everyone searched frantically for a while, and after a long time, they finally found the relevant information.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

"According to the wanted order from Sovereign, this so-called universe overlord named Zhan Liu is actually a despicable and shameless person with inferior genes. He gathered his accomplices to steal Sovereign's super energy battery and set a trap to attack Sovereign's guards!"

The speed of quantum communication is instantaneous. No matter how vast the universe is, it will not cause any delay in quantum communication. Therefore, long before Zhan Liu arrived, the wanted order issued by the Sovereigns had reached every corner of the universe.

“…” Queen Adora was speechless for a while.

"In other words, this so-called Overlord of the Universe is actually fake, and it's just a trick played by Ronan to deceive us?"

“Not only that, Your Majesty!” The assistant also added: “Since this Zhan Liu is a plunderer, he is likely to know Yongdu and the others, or even be their accomplice.”

"I suspect that the so-called Yondu leading the plunderers to help us stop Ronan is probably fake and part of a deception tactic. Who knows, this group of plunderers might stab us in the back at any time."

None of them recognized that the blood gourd under Zhan Liu's feet was Ronan, whose skin had been peeled and his limbs had been cut off.

"Stay alert, do not initiate attacks, and keep a close eye on the movements of the predators."

The people on Xandar were just skeptical, but the plunderers didn't believe it at all.

Rocket smiled slyly, poking Quill's butt with the tip of his claws, "Hey, Quill, that's your fellow countryman, go up and try to get close to him..."

I don’t know what made Drax laugh, but he was laughing so hard that he fell backwards.

Quill rolled his eyes and hummed hesitantly, "Perhaps during the years I was away, the technology on Earth has advanced very quickly..."

Groot waved the branches above his head and said the same old dialogue: "I am Groot!"

Only the raccoon and Thor could understand Groot's language. The others had no idea what he was saying and just ignored it. Only the raccoon jumped up with joy and patted Groot's body and laughed.

Only Gamora was a little normal. She stared at Nebula's ugly face in the communication, as well as the humiliation and fear hidden in Nebula's eyes, and said tremblingly: "There is only one person who can make Nebula feel afraid."

"In this world, only Thanos can make Nebula so well behaved and obedient."

"We have to be careful. From now on, our enemy may not be Ronan, but Thanos!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked and their hearts were in their throats.

No one can ignore Thanos's reputation.

Only a fool like Drax was waving his arms and shouting, "I'm going to kill Thanos!" But no one took his stupid words seriously.

At the same time, in another fighter plane, Yongdu opened his mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, and laughed loudly:
"Earth?"

"How could a cosmic overlord emerge from such a shabby place in the corner of the universe?"

"It's obvious that this term was found somewhere, and then the identity was fabricated at random!"

"If I hadn't been to Earth, I might have really been fooled by them."

"I don't care if he is the overlord of the universe or not. As long as the Cosmic Spirit Orb is on that battleship, he is my enemy!"

"Brothers, stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Following Yongdu's order, the plunderers responded in unison, launched their fighter planes, and swooped towards the battleship.

Faced with the swarm of Predator fighters, Valkyrie and Nebula both turned to look at Zhan Liu.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"They're attacking, just fight back!"

"Don't count on me to do anything. If I have to do everything, then why would I keep you useless people?"

After being scolded by Zhan Liu for a few words, Nebula turned around and began to issue combat missions, ordering the Kree warships to start fighting back.

Valkyrie rolled her eyes, took out a wine flask from somewhere, poured wine into her mouth, and muttered:

"Don't look at me. My Pegasus mount died in the battle a long time ago."

She stood behind Zhan Liu and refused to fight.

Asgard warriors can fight hand-to-hand with knives, but they have no interest in engaging in battleship duels.

Zhan Liu didn't care about this. Anyway, he had the Kree people to do the work for him, so he didn't need her.

There would be endless aliens dying, so there was no need to worry about the war damage. There would definitely be more and more lackeys coming to join us in the future, so there was no need to worry about having no one available. As for the mixed quality of this group of people, Zhan Liu didn't care at all. Anyway, an obedient dog was a good dog, so why bother about whether he was good or bad?
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once you get used to asking others to do everything for you, you will no longer like to do things yourself.

Only a guy with a mental problem, even with so many subordinates, would do everything by himself, chop people up himself, and do everything by himself, making himself look like a street punk.

Zhan Liu sat on Ronan's throne, watching the fight between the Kree and the Raiders coldly.

In fact, when watching the movie, Zhan Liu didn't understand how it was possible that the regular army of the three major empires in the universe couldn't even destroy a group of space pirates. Who gave Yongdu the courage to steal Ronan's things?

But now that he was there, he knew why.

There are only a few warships of Ronan's level even in the Kree Empire, and ordinary small planets cannot afford to support them. Just like aircraft carriers on Earth, even if small countries can afford to buy them, they cannot afford to maintain them.

Fighters use energy shields for defense, and energy shields need energy blocks to maintain them. Without energy blocks, the shields of fighters will not last long enough.

Since Ronan left the Kree Empire, he has been seriously short of energy blocks. Although he can get some supplements through plundering, the quantity is too small. It is enough to maintain the daily use of giant warships, but once the war starts, the energy will be seriously lacking and the follow-up will be weak.

If Ronan concentrated the energy blocks, the number of fighters that could go into battle would be insufficient. If he maintained a sufficient number of fighters, the energy shield of a single fighter would be relatively weak.

Although the Kree warriors can make up for some of the gap between them through good tactical skills and driving abilities, in large-scale combat, this gap can play a minimal role.

The plunderers use small fighter planes and do not need large warships at all. Their energy needs are relatively small and they can fully supply the energy shields of their fighter planes during combat.

In short, it's all about money.
