The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 418, 752, and 753: New Goals
As expected, Yondu and his men were immediately drawn to Peter Quill's words, and they all craned their necks to ask:
"You little rascal, tell me quickly, what did you find there?"

Seeing that he had successfully gotten away with it, a smug look flashed across Peter Quill's eyes. He then embellished his account of everything he had seen and heard on the cargo ship.

Of course, the part related to the [Annulas Battery] has been automatically omitted.

It wasn't that he was afraid Yondu and the others would covet those [Annulas Batteries], but rather that he simply couldn't bear the humiliation... He, the invincible [Star-Lord] who had traversed countless star systems, had risked his life to salvage something from a wrecked ship, only to have it confiscated by the [Nova Corps]?
If this gets out, where will he put his face in the future?

Wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
"Damn it, I didn't expect those cowards to actually be telling the truth?"

"It seems that the legends about the 'ghost shipwreck' are probably all true..."

"The solar system is too dangerous. I will never go there again, no matter what."

"However, I heard that Asgard seems to have obtained a Blackstone artifact with special functions from Transylvania (referring to Earth), which can suppress the corruption of the surrounding star system by the Eye of Fear."

"There are such amazing things? Should we go to [Telan Star] and buy some to put on our spaceship?"

Yondu Udonta ignored his chattering subordinates and instead glared at Peter Quill, frowning as he asked:
"You better not lie to me, kid. If you really saved that centurion, then why is the Nova Corps locking you up?"

"Well..."

Peter Quill's eyes darted around, and he immediately adopted an indignant expression, saying:
"It's all because you guys have such a terrible reputation that you've ruined the [Raiders]'s name, to the point that the [Nova Corps] simply doesn't believe I'm a good person!"

"cut!!"

Yondu Udonta and the others immediately scoffed and gave Peter Quill the middle finger. "You're the most unethical one in the Raiders. You even betray your own people. How dare you talk about others?"

"Fine, this time it won't happen again."

Yondu Udonta put his arm around Peter Quill's shoulder. "Come on, I'll take you to see someone. He says there's a big deal waiting for us, and we might need your lock-picking skills."

Peter Quill curled his lip. "Wait, so you guys didn't come to Xandar specifically to rescue me?"

Yondu Udonta shook his head dismissively. "Quill, listen to me, forget about these useless details. Right now, we should focus all our attention on how to close this big deal."

"According to that long-browed broker, he said he'd pay us a large sum of money if we could find something called the 'Cosmic Orb'..."

……

【Kree Star Battleship - Dark Star】.

Inside the massive bridge.

"You Xandarians, and those swarming Skrulls, all like to call me the one who spreads death, a Kree radical, a fanatical follower of the Supreme Intelligence..."

A blue-skinned Kree, at least 2 meters tall and muscular, wielding a long-handled hammer-like weapon, walked with a cold expression to a male centurion, clad in Nova armor and restrained to a kneeling position by shackles, and said condescendingly:

"And the reason you slander me like this is simply because I have always adhered to the oldest code of conduct of our [Kree Star], punishing those who do not obey it and those who offend it..."

"That is why I will never forgive you villains who took the lives of my great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, as well as the lives of countless Cree people!"

"The war between the Kree Empire, Xandar, and the Skrull Empire has lasted for nearly a thousand years. I will never forget the will of our Kree forefathers..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was angrily interrupted by the centurion, who was imprisoned on the ground by shackles:
"Ronan, stop dreaming about war. The Kree Empire's leadership has already signed a peace agreement with Xandar. Your actions are illegal and will be punished. I advise you to pull back from the brink and think twice!"

"Humph!"

Ronan's face showed a hint of disdain as he said mercilessly, "Ever since the Supreme Intelligence was destroyed by 'Exterminator' Carol Danvers, those shameless high-ranking members have been terrified."

"And you Xandarians were merely a small vassal under the rule of our [Kree Empire] back then, yet you took advantage of our [Kree Empire] being embroiled in internal strife to expand your territory. Such despicable methods are even worse than those of thieves..."

"Therefore, in my view, your civilization has become corrupt and needs someone to help you regain your faith, to regain your faith in the Kree!!"

"That sounds nice." The Centurion retorted without changing his expression: "Ronan, you will never take over Xandar. Neither the Nova Supreme, nor the Nova Legion, nor any of the Xandarians will submit to you."

"No, you said it wrong."

Ronan corrected him expressionlessly, "I'm not trying to conquer it, I'm trying to save it... Only through the baptism of blood and fire can it regain its rightful place!"

Having said that, Ronan didn't wait for the centurion to say anything more, and directly smashed the man's head with the long-handled hammer called the "All-Purpose Weapon," making a muffled 'poof' sound like a watermelon exploding.

The blood flowed down the grooves in the ground and into the blood pool below.

There is a large amount of blood collected there from the Xandar people.

Those who know Ronan know that this bloodthirsty guy has a very peculiar fetish: he likes to bathe in blood!
"Tsk tsk, Ronan, you shouldn't have been in such a hurry to kill him."

At this moment, a female warrior with green skin, who had been watching the entire process from the sidelines, smiled and spoke:
"We should spare his life first, and then use him to coerce Xandar into making concessions and compromises, so that the Xandars can see how incompetent and weak their leaders are... This will help us undermine the morale of the Xandars."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Ronan looked at the other person with a displeased expression.

"Ronan, I think Gamora just wants to see you make a fool of yourself."

A blue-skinned female warrior, whose body had been fitted with and had many organs and parts replaced, sat next to the green-skinned female warrior and spoke with ill intent.

These two female warriors of different skin colors are not Ronan's subordinates, but Thanos's adopted daughters, who came to assist (and monitor) Ronan in completing his mission.

“Nebula, my dear sister, such clumsy attempts to instigate are completely useless.”

Gamora smiled at Ronan, "Moreover, as long as your men can successfully obtain those two Infinity Stones, our father will order troops to help you destroy Xandar."

"So, killing this hostage is no big deal." "Tch." Nebula, somewhat tongue-tied, rolled her eyes at the other person and muttered under her breath, "You've said everything, good and bad... You're a complete jerk!"

Just then, a Kree soldier suddenly walked in and reported, "My Lord Accuser, [The Pursuer] Korath is back."

A short while later, a tall, dark-skinned Kree walked onto the bridge and, looking somewhat dejected, reported to Ronan:

“Master, I’m sorry, I failed to obtain the [Phoenix Orb] that Thanos wanted this time…”

"But it's all because of a damn thief. That guy called himself Star-Lord. I found out his identity on the way back. He's a member of the Raiders. He was commissioned by someone to steal the Orb of the Universe before us."

"Who?" Ronan sat in the main seat, his voice low and terrifying.

Kolas quickly and cautiously replied, "Right now, all we know is that the middleman is a merchant from Xandar."

"I promised Thanos that I would give him either the Orb or the Tesseract."

Ronan looked at the other person with displeasure. "Because only in this way would he send troops to help me destroy Xandar. But now, you've let that thief run away with my things?"

"Master, that guy is just too cunning," Korath said in a panic. "Please give me another chance. This time I will definitely get the [Cosmic Orb] back!"

"No need."

Ronan waved his hand, then turned to Nebula and instructed, "Nebula, since Thanos sent the two of you to assist me, the task of retrieving the Orb from Xandar will be yours... It'll also be a good opportunity for me to see if Thanos's adopted daughter is as powerful as the legends say."

“It is my honor, Mr. Accuser!”

Nebula swayed forward a step, but before she could say anything, Gamora interrupted her coldly, "No, Nebula, believe me, this is your misfortune!"

"I'm sure you know what's going on without me saying it. If you fail again, you'll never have the face to see our father again."

Nebula, as if she had been greatly insulted, retorted angrily, "We are all Thanos's daughters, what makes you think I'm bound to fail?"

Gamora smiled confidently, "Because I know more about Xandar than you do..."

"So what?" Nebula retorted defiantly, "Ronan just ordered me to do it..."

"Alright, that's enough. You two shut up."

Ronan hated it when two women chattered and argued like ducks in front of him, so he immediately turned to Gamora and warned her in a deep voice:

"Since you know more about Xandar, this mission is yours. But you'd better not mess it up, or I'll punish you without Thanos even having to lift a finger!"

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Gamora said defiantly. “Because I have never failed.”

"very good."

Ronan nodded in satisfaction, but then Nebula said somewhat resentfully, "Ronan, then please send me to find the other [Cosmic Cube]."

“Loki of Asgard informed my father that the Tesseract is currently on Earth.”

Just one day ago, Loki, far away in Asgard, for some unknown reason, suddenly contacted Thanos and informed him that Odin had already traded the Tesseract, the carrier of the Space Stone, to an Earthling in a previous deal.

The opponent is powerful, having previously defeated the Dark Elf fleet. If Thanos wants the Space Stone, he should go to Earth and get it himself.

Clearly, Loki is planning to use Thanos to defeat those despicable superheroes on Earth, thus venting his pent-up anger.

Because he knew Thanos's style very well: wherever Thanos went, half of all living beings would be killed!
Unexpectedly, after receiving the news, Thanos directly entrusted the mission to Ronan the Accuser, who was preparing to 'borrow' his troops to destroy Xandar, and sent his two adopted daughters to assist him.

"To be precise, it is in the hands of the Earth's guardians."

Ronan glanced at Nebula with a disdainful expression. "As far as I know, besides 'The Exterminator' Carol Danvers, Earth has quite a few guardians, such as the Avengers who wiped out the Chitauri Legion, and Karl Mara who destroyed the Dark Elf Fleet not long ago!"

"Are you really sure you can snatch the Cosmic Cube from an enemy of that caliber all by yourself?"

As is widely known, decades ago, spies from the Kree Empire secretly infiltrated Earth, following in the footsteps of the Skrulls.

Therefore, it's not difficult for Ronan to know about major events happening on Earth.

"..." Nebula fell silent, somewhat embarrassed, upon hearing this.

Clearly, she didn't possess that kind of strength; she was merely competing with her sister Gamora, not wanting to be outdone.

"Okay, it's decided."

Seeing that Nebula was at a loss, Ronan nodded in satisfaction. "Let's take the [Cosmic Orb] first, and then go to Earth to steal the [Cosmic Cube]."

……

Xandar.

The doors of a private art shop slowly opened, and a handsome man dressed in a gray plaid suit, whose attire was completely out of place among the Xandar people on the street, strode out of the shop.

"Done, now we have the coordinates of the [Void Knowledge Land]."

Carl watched Star-Lord walking towards them in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Since there's no rush, let's watch this show first before heading to the Collector!"
