"Only I escaped."

When talking about his companions, a deep sadness couldn't help but show on his face.

Even though the Nova Corps possessed immense power, they were utterly powerless against Thanos, who wielded the Power Stone.

Hundreds of members of the Rising Star Legion did not last even a minute.

If it weren't for his companions risking their lives to cover him, he might not have been able to escape on his own.

"What is the Power Stone? And isn't your claim of a crisis sweeping across the entire universe a bit of an exaggeration?"

"Even if Thanos is incredibly powerful, it's probably not easy for him to threaten the entire universe, right?"

It cannot be said that Yondu found what he said unbelievable.

After all, Yondu thought that destroying the entire universe planet by planet would be more efficient than exhausting Thanos.

"The Power Gems are cosmic artifacts that have existed since the birth of the universe. There are six in total, and each gem represents a primordial power of the universe."

"The blue Space Stone, the green Time Stone, the orange Soul Stone, the yellow Mind Stone, the red Reality Stone..."

"And the last one, which is also the most destructive, is the Power Stone that Thanos has now taken."

This centurion of the Nova Corps clearly knows more about the origins of the Infinity Stones than many others.

"Each gem possesses immense power, and when the six gems come together, they will unleash a terrifying force capable of destroying the entire universe."

"If Thanos were to collect all six Infinity Stones, destroying the entire universe would be a piece of cake for him."

As the introduction progressed, even the centurion himself couldn't help but show a hint of fear on his face.

"This...aren't you exaggerating a bit? Destroying the entire universe with a flick of your finger? How is that possible!"

At this point, many people thought the centurion was exaggerating.

He thought the universe could be destroyed in the blink of an eye; he believed the universe was made of bubbles, how could it be so fragile?

"Captain, I think this guy has gone mad because he can't accept the horrors of Thanos's massacre of Xandar."

A crew member walked up to Peter and whispered, looking at the centurion with a pitying gaze as if he were a fool.

"Captain, I think that although we can't completely trust him, we should still be cautious. Just to be on the safe side, we'd better not go to Xandar, lest we be targeted by that madman Thanos."

Even Yondu couldn't completely trust what the centurion said.

It was simply because what he was saying was beyond their comprehension.

The universe is so vast that even they, the cosmic raiders, have never truly left the Milky Way.

It is even more unimaginable what kind of immense power could destroy the entire universe with the flick of a finger.

"You... damn it, you have no idea how dire the situation is right now!"

The centurion glared angrily at the crowd, wanting to explain himself but unsure how to begin.

"Forget it, you wouldn't believe me even if I explained. If possible, please lend me a small escape pod. I need to return to Nova Corps headquarters immediately to report this major event that threatens the entire universe."

In the end, the centurion gave up trying to defend himself.

Just as technologically advanced modern people can never explain to primitive people why spaceships can fly in space.

At this moment, the centurion could only beg Peter and the others to lend him an escape ship so he could return to headquarters as soon as possible and report the matter.

……

"Thank you all... Oh well, I hope we can all get through this crisis that is sweeping the universe safely."

Before boarding the escape pod, the centurion looked at the crew, wanting to give them a warning.

However, considering that this crisis is sweeping across the entire universe, and if we cannot safely overcome it, the entire universe will be destroyed, so warnings are of no use.

With a sigh, they sped back to headquarters in their escape spaceship.

"Captain, why did you lend him our spaceship? Did you really believe his talk of a crisis sweeping the entire universe?"

Watching the spaceship disappear as it traversed through the spacetime nodes, Yondu couldn't help but ask Peter with some curiosity.

"Of course I believe it."

Peter offered no rebuttal.

"That……"

Yondu was taken aback by Peter's confident answer and was momentarily stunned.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

It is unclear whether this stemmed from trust in Peter or from an affirmation of Peter's formidable abilities.

When Peter expressed his belief, almost all the crew members looked at him nervously, somewhat at a loss.

"I'm Groot."

Beside them, only the little tree Groot stared with innocent, clear eyes, looking around at everyone with some curiosity.

"Of course, we're going back to Earth!"

Peter said it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

The expressions of the surrounding crew members instantly turned somewhat terrified.

"Captain, are we really going to get involved in this?"

"Please think about it again, Captain."

"After all, that's Thanos, the cosmic tyrant known for his ruthless methods and the slaughter of the universe."

It's no wonder that many crew members were terrified; Thanos had built up a formidable reputation in the universe over the years.

Even just hearing it can evoke a deep sense of fear.

"Don't worry, it's just Thanos."

Despite the crew's fear, Peter remained confident.

"Thanos?"

Many crew members couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"It seems that Thanos still possesses a Power Stone with limitless power at this moment..."

After recalling what the centurion had just said, all the crew members were filled with utter fear.

However, they were unable to defy Peter's authority.

Ultimately, against their will, they changed the spaceship's course and headed towards Earth.

……

And half an hour ago.

In outer space above the Earth.

hum!

With a ripple in space, a massive spaceship traversed the cosmos and abruptly stopped above Earth.

"Great Lord Thanos, we have reached the skies above Earth and have not detected any anti-aircraft fleets or anti-aircraft weapons."

"The technological level of this planet is basically consistent with what General Corvus Glaive said."

As the spaceship docked in outer space, Ebony Maw knelt on one knee and reported to Thanos, who was on the throne.

"Finally...have we arrived?"

Thanos was resting with his eyes closed, and there were still some bloodstains on his golden armor that had not yet dried.

Upon hearing Ebony Maw's report, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the blue planet beyond the warship, filled with coldness and a hint of fighting spirit.

"Great Thanos, please give me half an hour. I will flatten this planet and personally present you with the Infinity Stones I have seized!"

Ebony Maw looked at Thanos expectantly, hoping that he would give him the opportunity to conquer Earth.

"No need. This time, I will take back those Infinity Stones myself!"

Thanos slowly rose from his throne, raised his left hand, and purple light shone on the golden gauntlet.

Soon after.

In a deserted desert on Earth.

A beam of light suddenly descended from the sky.

The next moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the desert.

"Lord Thanos, let me drag out those insignificant humans."

Looking at the endless yellow desert, Ebony Maw asked Thanos for instructions.

Thanos slowly nodded.

A flicker of excitement crossed Ebony Maw's face. Without any hesitation, he slowly stepped forward and gracefully raised his hands.

In an instant, powerful tornadoes suddenly began to rise in the once boundless desert.

The tornado swept up sand and gravel, sending it soaring high into the sky.

In a short time, a scene of apocalyptic desolation, with yellow sand filling the sky and obscuring the horizon, was formed.

As the yellow sand in the desert was rapidly swept up by the tornado.

A massive, secret military base slowly emerged before everyone's eyes.

"Beep beep beep... Alarm, alarm, intruder detected..."

Meanwhile, chaos erupted within the military base that had suddenly come into view.

The piercing alarm blared throughout the military base, filling everyone with tension.

At the heart of the military base, in a laboratory hidden dozens of floors underground.

Hawkeye, holding a special bow, sat atop the support structure above the base, his hawk-like eyes fixed on a cube radiating a deep blue light in the center of the laboratory.

"This is the highest level of warning. What exactly happened?"

The sudden alarm made Hawkeye very nervous, not knowing what had happened.
