Chapter 306 Sleepwalking
Quill carried the seriously injured and unconscious Valkyrie back to the battleship, but what greeted him was not heroic cheers, but all kinds of curses and insults.

Especially those predators who were familiar with him, they cursed the most harshly. Because they were the most familiar with Quill and knew Quill's strength the most, so when they placed bets in the casino, they all chose to bet on Quill to lose.

The final result is that everyone loses all their money and only the dealer wins huge profits.

If it weren't for the fact that Quill's fighting power suddenly became too strong and he couldn't afford to offend him, I'm afraid this group of people would have pounced on Quill and swallowed him up.

"Hey, hey, don't do that!"

After Quill found out the reason, he no longer cared about the insults. Instead, he looked proud and showed off.

"You totally deserved to lose!"

"Who told you not to trust me?"

"Next time you encounter this kind of gambling game, remember to be more careful and bet on me to win. Then you will be able to win back everything you lost this time!"

"Ha ha……"

Quill handed Valkyrie to a Kree warrior, asked him to take Valkyrie to the infirmary, and then returned to his residence triumphantly.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Rocket rushing towards him.

"Hey! It turns out that companions are the best!" Quill proudly stretched out his hand and greeted everyone.

"You're so eager to welcome me...what's with that expression on your face?"

Rocket rode on Quill's neck, hugged his head, pierced his ears with his breasts, and punched him with a set of turtle punches.

"stop!"

"stop it now!"

"What are you crazy about?"

Quill reached up and lifted Rocket off his neck, yelling in anger.

Drax sat aside and watched the two people fighting, putting his hands on his chest and laughing.

"He bought your bet!"

“And I bought it several times!”

"Ha ha……"

Quill rolled his eyes and threw Rocket away, "Who told you not to bet on me to win?"

After Rocket flipped over and landed on the ground, he angrily shouted to the people in the room:

"Did you see it?"

"My claws couldn't even hurt him just now!"

"His skin is now thicker than steel!"

Drax had just stopped laughing, but when he heard this, he burst into laughter again.

"I am Groot!" Groot waved the branches, and no one knew what he was saying.

Only Rocket understood what Groot said. He shook his head and said, "Although Quill used to be thick-skinned, I could still scratch him with my claws. But now, his face has worn my claws out!"

As he spoke, Rocket stretched out his pair of little claws, and it looked like the tips of the claws had indeed been worn flat.

"I know, you're jealous!" Quill smiled proudly, "How about it? Do you want to join the Nova Corps as well?"

"As long as you become a rising star warrior, your strength will also become very strong, right?"

"As strong as you?" Rocket was a little tempted.

"How is that possible?" Quill shook his head and said, "WM said that my bloodline is special and there is almost no limit to the nova energy I can withstand. Ordinary warriors can't do that."

"Will that scratch your thick skin?" asked the Rocket again.

Quill's face darkened and he shouted:

"This is my body's own energy shield, not shamelessness!"

"Even the battleship's main gun can't penetrate my energy shield. Your weak attack power certainly can't hurt my body."

"But it is still possible to become an ordinary Nova Warrior, or a Nova Corps Centurion."

"Tsk!" Rocket completely lost interest in this thing. "It's so shameless that even the battleship's main guns can't hurt it. It's boring!"

He shook his hands, wagged his big tail, and ran away.

"So shameless that even the battleship's main guns can't hurt you...haha..." Drax started laughing wildly again.

Quill sighed, completely giving up on these unreliable companions, and turned back to the room. Only Truett was left. He turned his head and looked around, then pointed a branch at his nose, as if asking, "Why didn't you ask my wishes?"
-
Zhan Liu watched the entire battle between Valkyrie and Quill. He saw at a glance that after the battle officially started, it was Xandar's supercomputer Worldmind that controlled Quill's body.

Although he looked down upon the power of the Nova Field, after combining it with Quill's demigod body, the Nova Energy could be output to the maximum extent. It must be said that with the assistance of Worldmind, Quill has now become one of the few strong men in the universe.

Infinite energy is a very amazing thing. From the perspective of infinite energy alone, it is enough to be on the same level as Dormammu and other dimensional masters. The only difference is that this dimension is ownerless, and the size of the dimension and the total amount of energy are different.

Although the Nova Realm is not as good as the six Infinity Gems, it can be regarded as a cosmic-level treasure without any problem. It's just that this treasure is more picky about the host.

Since WorldMind has found a suitable host, it means that he will not be able to stay on the battleship for long. Perhaps, we need to find a substitute energy source for the Nova Power for the battleship.

There seems to be a kind of super battery on the planet Sovereign. When it explodes, it can even kill the planet's life form Ego. It would be nice to get more of them and use them as a substitute energy source.

As for the seriously injured and dying Valkyrie, that was not a problem, as the vitality of the strong was very strong. Moreover, with Zhan Liu, the super nurse, it would be difficult for Valkyrie to die.

In the final blow, Zhan Liu saw that Valkyrie had escaped from the psychological shadow of the goddess of death Hela and achieved her own spiritual transformation, so he decided to give Valkyrie a chance.

He got up and went to the infirmary, where Valkyrie was lying. Her body, soaked in healing fluid, had twisted and bent bones everywhere, and a large area of ​​her surface was burned by high temperatures, as well as deep traces of radiation.

The Kree's medical technology is more technological, so the ones who set Valkyrie's bones and healed her injuries were a group of tiny nanorobots in the healing fluid.

Zhan Liu took a quick look and felt that they were far inferior to Tony's nanorobots. They were not on the same technical level at all. He also had no idea how the so-called three empires' technology trees were selected. Their development was really inferior.

Now that he is here, there is no need to use the Kree people's backward medical technology.

Zhan Liu opened the lid of the medical cabin and used the power of the magnetic field to reorganize Valkyrie's cells. In less than a second, Valkyrie was completely healed.

Valkyrie suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in the medical cabin. Light green healing fluid flowed down her toned body and fell into the medical cabin.

Valkyrie took a breath, recalled her last memory before she fell into a coma, wiped her face, and jumped out of the medical cabin.

She didn't care that her body was seen naked by Zhan Liu. She took out a towel from the cabinet next to her and wiped her body clean. Then, with the surge of divine power, a standard Asgard Valkyrie robe appeared on her body.

"It was you who saved me?" She stood in front of Zhan Liu with a smile on her face, looking up at him. Her smile contained a spirit that was not usually there.

"To be precise, it was Quill who brought you back. I just sped up your recovery." Zhan Liu had no interest in taking credit for other people's achievements.

"Really? Then I'll have to thank him later?" Valkyrie sounded quite unhappy.

"Congratulations, you have freed yourself from the shackles of your mind and successfully defeated yourself."

Valkyrie rolled her eyes at Zhan Liu and said, "Are you familiar with my past? How do you know that I have defeated myself?"

"Spirit." Zhan Liu pointed at Valkyrie's eyes, "A warrior's spirit can explain a lot of things."

Valkyrie stretched, hugged Zhan Liu's arm, and said lazily: "I just communicated some things."

"That's not easy. Many people can't figure it out in their lifetime." Zhan Liu hugged her and walked back, and asked by the way: "I am the leader of the Ultimate Infinite Sect. I have a set of Ultimate Yuanci Infinite Thunder Method, which is very suitable for you and can make you stronger. Do you want to learn it?"

"No." Valkyrie refused without hesitation, "You can't chew too much."

"The divine power alone is enough for a person to study for a lifetime."

"With his divine power alone, Odin is invincible in the universe and is the king of the nine realms."

"As a warrior of Asgard, I don't need to pursue power from other systems."

"I just realized now that when I gave up the power of Asgard and pursued the energy of the new star, I was actually defeated."

"No matter how infinite and powerful this energy is, it still cannot help me defeat my enemies."

"Only the power of Asgard can do that, because this is what truly belongs to my soul!"

"But fortunately, I woke up before it was too late."

"That's all. Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to be distracted by other power systems anymore."

After awakening, Valkyrie became much more confident, had a deeper understanding of divine power, and of course, her strength also improved significantly.

"Well, since you are not interested, I will save some time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome enough just to explain the Daoist Canon and Thunder Method to you."

Since Valkyrie has already realized something, Zhan Liu will certainly not rush to force her to learn, and the matter of recruiting an alien disciple is dropped.
-
There is no distinction between day and night during space travel, but the human body's biological clock will still be affected, so on the warship, the day and night will still be arranged according to the time.

After a whole day of hustle and bustle, people's energy gradually became exhausted, and they fell asleep feeling drunk and tired.

Quill suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, expressionless, he got up, dressed and went out.

Rocket opened his eyes alertly, glanced at Quill, muttered something, and fell back to sleep.

A long time later, before the morning lights came on, Quill pushed the door open again, undressed again and lay back on the bed to sleep.

After daybreak, the warship gradually regained its daytime vitality and vigor, and became noisy again.

"Hey, Quill, where were you last night? You didn't come back until almost dawn?" Rocket jumped onto the sink, kicked Quill while brushing his teeth in front of the mirror, and muttered incoherently.

Quill raised his head and let the water gurgle in his mouth for a while, then lowered his head and spit out the water. He asked in surprise, "What? I was sleeping the whole time and didn't go out?"

"Stop it, I saw it with my own eyes!" After brushing his teeth, Rocket started to groom the hair on his head.

Quill shrugged and said casually, "You must be dreaming, then."

"I'm Groot!" Groot suddenly interrupted, and Rocket immediately smiled and said, "Look, even Groot saw it, so just admit it! Did you secretly practice Nova Energy at night? It's not shameful for a scumbag like you to suddenly become motivated."

"Ha!" Quill laughed. "No one can understand what Groot said. You can translate it however you want." "What?" Rocket was annoyed and threw the comb into the toiletries rack. "I, Rocket, never lie!"

"Yeah, yeah. I don't know who was the guy who lied to us last time and then secretly drank all the wine?" Quill bluntly exposed Rocket's boast.

"Just that time!" Rocket said stubbornly.

"And the time before last... and the time before that..." Quill began to count the small accounts while counting on his fingers. Rocket turned his head away guiltily, picked up the wooden comb and continued to comb his hair.

Seeing that Rocket was silent, Quill continued to pursue his victory as if he had won a great victory, "Drax, did you see me go out yesterday?"

Drax shook his head, "No."

"Look!" Quill spread his hands, "You're clearly half asleep."

Rocket was not happy when he said that, and screamed, "Drax sleeps like a dead pig every night. He may not wake up even if you fire a cannon next to his ear!"

"Sleeping like a dead pig, haha..." Drax's sense of humor was inexplicably triggered again, and he laughed out loud with his head tilted back to the sky.

Quill and Rocket looked at each other, then looked at Drax who was laughing inexplicably, sighed, and muttered in unison, "Why do I have such an unreliable group of companions!"

The two of them lost interest and stopped worrying about whether Quill had gone out last night. After seeing this, Drax laughed even louder.

That night, in the dead of night, Quill opened his eyes again and walked out.

When Rocket discovered this, his sleepiness instantly disappeared, and he jumped onto Drax's bed with great joy and shook him awake.

"Hey, wake up, big guy!"

"Look, Quill went out again in the middle of the night!"

Drax looked up sleepily, then turned over and continued to sleep.

"Hey, you see, Quill is lying!"

"He must be secretly training in Nova Energy."

Rocket said with envy.

"I'm Groot!" Groot suddenly interrupted.

"Huh? What you said makes sense." Rocket slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

"It's so late at night, maybe he really went out on a date."

Rocket crossed one arm over his chest and rested his chin on the other, tapping the ground with his toes as he considered the matter.

"Who is this stud hooking up with now?"

"Or, did he and Gamora reconcile?"

"I am Groot!" Groot waved the branches, his big eyes blinking, and started gossiping.

"You're right. If it was Gamora, he wouldn't have had to hide it from us."

"Who could that be?"

"Could it be Nebula?"

Rocket stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, grinning:
"After being dumped by his elder sister, he went to seduce his younger sister. This is exactly what Quill would do!"

"I'll question him carefully tomorrow."

The next day, it was still early morning washing time. Rocket came over sneakily and slapped Quill's butt hard.

"Hey, Quill, how was your date last night?"

Quill glanced down, spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, and complained:

"Oh, Rocket, come on, this isn't over yet?"

"Next time, drink less alcohol before going to bed. It's bad for your health and can easily cause hallucinations."

"Stop changing the subject!" Rocket would not let him go so easily. He jumped onto the sink, squatted down facing Quill, and looked into his eyes. "Tell me the truth, who is it? Nebula? Or Valkyrie?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Quill reached out and picked up the rocket, then continued to wash up.

"Drax, did Quill go out last night? You saw it with your own eyes!" Rocket turned his head and shouted loudly.

"Yes, I saw it too. Quill went out last night." Drax, who was still sleepy, nodded in daze.

"You see, the big guy never lies, and he saw it too." Rocket proudly circled around Quill, "So, Quill, you better tell the truth. Even if you don't succeed in hooking up, we won't laugh at you!"

Although Rocket said this, his eyes were narrowed into slits and the corners of his mouth were raised high.

Quill put down his toiletries, turned around and looked at Drax. Seeing Drax nodded at him very seriously, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, smiled and pointed his finger at them one by one.

"Haha, you two are teaming up to play a prank!"

"I won't fall for your tricks!"

Quill finished washing up, turned around and walked out, no longer paying attention to Rocket who was following him and chattering.

Rocket was very annoyed and crossed his arms, "What a stubborn guy! But I am more interested in who he met with in the middle of the night."

"I'm Groot!" Groot came behind Rocket at some point, looking at Quill going away, tilting his head, feeling a little confused.

"He was acting! That was acting, Groot!" Rocket rolled his eyes cutely and patted Groot's long legs, "He couldn't have not known where he went. He doesn't sleepwalk!"

"I'm Groot!"

"If he really is sleepwalking, then we need to find out more clearly. It's impossible that he suddenly developed a sleepwalking problem out of thin air!"

"I'm Groot!"

"This is not gossip. I am just concerned about my companions. Yes, I am concerned about my companions!"

"I'm Groot!"

"Huh? Is it so obvious?" Rocket quickly took out a mirror and saw his smiling face in the mirror.

"Cough, cough." He quickly covered his mouth with one hand and coughed twice to make himself look more normal.

"In short, tonight, if he goes out again, no, sleepwalks again, we should secretly follow him and see what he does."

Rocket stayed awake that night, listening carefully to the movements on Quill's bed.

When Quill got up to go out again, he immediately jumped up in a hurry and woke up Drax who had just fallen asleep.

"Hey, Drax, wake up!"

"Quil is sleepwalking. We have to follow him to see who is causing trouble."

"Quil is our companion, we can't let him suffer any loss."

Rocket tried hard to hold back his laughter and encouraged Drax hard.

When Drax heard that Quill was going to suffer a loss, he immediately woke up, turned over and sat up, put on his clothes, grabbed his weapons, and prepared for battle.

"Who's killing Quill?"

"I'm going to kill him!"

Rocket quickly hugged him, fearing that Drax would be too reckless and ruin his good show.

"Wait a minute, don't be anxious. We are not sure whether it was Quill who had an affair and then abandoned him and caused this mess. Don't rush to do anything. Wait until we find out the truth before we do anything."

So the three of them followed Quill stealthily, watching him twist and turn along the battleship's corridor, with a clear goal in mind.

The Rockets became more and more certain that Quill must have been meeting with a woman in the past few nights, otherwise he would not have been able to travel so smoothly.

After walking around here and there, Quill finally stopped, knocked on a door, then stood at the door and started chatting with the person inside.

Although I don't know what they are talking about, I think the person in this room is the target. Now that the target has been found, there is no need to hide the rest.

Rocket opened his mouth wide, wagged his tail, and swaggered over there with the two of them.

"Hey, hey, Quill, we finally caught you in the act, right?"

"Let's see what kind of beautiful girl you've been meeting for three nights in a row...ah!"

Finally reaching the door, Rocket looked inside and suddenly screamed and jumped back. Drax and Groot were startled and quickly stretched their heads to look, only to find that there was no beautiful woman inside, but a Kree warrior covered in blue.

"Quil..." Rocket's voice changed, "So your orientation has changed?"

"Oh my god, Quill's turned gay!"

Rocket turned his head and jumped, hugging Groot on all fours like a monkey climbing a tree.

"Oh no, we're in danger, Groot!"

"I am Groot!" Groot swung the branch and his eyebrows curved with smile.

"Oh, yes, you are safe!" Rocket's face froze, he got off Groot, turned around and hugged Drax's thick legs again, "Then we are in danger, Drax!"

Drax also saw the Kree warriors inside and knew that it was another misunderstanding caused by the unreliable Rocket. Quill was not in danger, so he felt relieved and laughed again.

However, their laughter had not yet ended. The moment "Quil" turned his head and looked over, all the laughter disappeared instantly.

All the hair on Rocket's body stood up, and his body arched, ready for combat.

Drax quickly displayed his two swords and shouted, "Who are you?"

Groot also swung the branch and lifted up a huge table next to him.

Under the dim light, those eyes were cold and ruthless, and definitely not Quill's.
