In order to protect Earth, even though Carol could continue to pursue Thanos's fleet that had jumped out of the solar system, she had to abandon the idea.

First, fly back to the vicinity of Earth and concentrate on using cosmic energy to disperse the incoming ion cannons.

It's important to know that Thanos commanded an unbelievably large number of warships.

Tens of thousands of warships of all sizes, firing ion cannons simultaneously, so many that they could fill the entire starry sky.

If Carol misses even one ion cannon shot, it could pose a significant threat to Earth.

Therefore, she had to be extremely careful to scatter the thousands of ion cannon attacks.

While Carol was busy fending off the ion cannon, Star-Lord and the others were aboard the Milano, which was stationed near the moon.

They were completely dumbfounded.

"This old lady actually managed to drive Thanos back! It's unbelievable. We're both from Earth, so why are you, Quill, such a useless piece of trash?"

Rocket's taunts made Star-Lord so angry his eyes were practically spitting fire.

"You idiot raccoon, you're the real trash! No normal extraterrestrial could be this strong. This woman definitely has..."

Gamora, seeing the two arguing again, finally snapped, "Enough! You two idiots, shut up! The important thing now is where to go!"

Rocket replied matter-of-factly, "Is there even a need for discussion? Of course, it's about upholding the Guardians of the Galaxy's duty and continuing to be righteous raiders!"

A righteous plunderer means someone who, in addition to being a part-time plunderer, also robs other plunderers.

Simply put, they operate in both the legal and illegal worlds, robbing anyone they see.

Star-Lord immediately retorted, "No way! We are the Guardians of the Galaxy, people with principles, morals, and a sense of justice."

"As the captain, you all have to listen to me. Next, I plan to resupply on Planet Teran and visit Tony to see if I can get some better weapons."

Groot: "I am Groot?"

The rocket company immediately voiced its opposition.

"You're no captain! If I hadn't rescued you from that godforsaken place, Klin Prison..."

Star-Lord, annoyed that it was about to start talking about Klin Prison again, interrupted it angrily:

"I admit you saved my life, but this ship is mine! And don't keep bringing that up..."

Gamora felt utterly hopeless when she saw the two start arguing again after only a few words.

"Ugh... I'm doomed with you two teammates!"

The two had conflicting accounts: Rocket wanted to return to his free life wandering the universe, while Star-Lord wanted to go back to Earth to visit his grandfather, and buying weapons from Tony was just a side matter.

After arguing for a long time, Star-Lord finally won.

The Rockets also wanted to see Tony Stark, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

The experience of escaping Klin Prison and heading to the Void.

It became very interested in Tony, a guy whose IQ was only slightly lower than its own.

Of course, on the surface, the rocket was not giving an inch and did not admit defeat at all; it was just tired of arguing and wanted to find a planet to rest.

Milano began to pass through Earth's atmosphere and landed in the Mississippi region.

This is where Star-Lord was born, but after his mother died of brain cancer, he was taken away by Yondu and never returned to Earth.

With a sense of trepidation as he nears home, Star-Lord is somewhat hesitant to face his grandfather, Jason Spartacus.

Therefore, before the Milano spacecraft even landed in Mississippi, it suddenly changed course and headed towards New York.

The rocket has successfully hacked into the planet's network, retrieved Tony Stark's information, and projected it onto a holographic screen for everyone to see.

"What? Tony Stark is dead? He perished along with Hydra?" Gamora exclaimed in surprise.

She couldn't believe that such a smart guy was dead after only a few months.

Star-Lord was also filled with sorrow. After all, they were partners who had gone through thick and thin together. "Let's go to the grave to pay our respects," he said.

Rocket muttered to himself, "I finally found someone whose intelligence is barely comparable to mine, Tony, how could you be dead?"

Groot covered his eyes with his tree hands to prevent the sap from flowing out.

Rockets infiltrate America's military network and locate the grave of Iron Man Tony Stark.

The Milano, having activated its stealth mode, landed in an open area near the cemetery.

Star-Lord and the others disembarked from the spaceship and walked silently toward the cemetery.

This is a private cemetery belonging to the Stark family. The guards at the entrance saw these strange people and were about to stop them.

Rocket pulled out a four-barreled atomic gun and fired a low-frequency shockwave to stun the humans.

Chapter 181 Quill's Homecoming Fear

Star-Lord and the others didn't pay attention to Rocket's actions; simply knocking out those who dared to point weapons at them was already an act of mercy on their part.

If it weren't for their former partner Tony, they wouldn't have wanted to start a massacre at the cemetery entrance.

Those who dare to offend him must all die.

Entering the ten-acre luxury estate, the lush maple forest and swaying flowers and plants create a tranquil atmosphere far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Tony Stark's tombstone is very prominent, surrounded by chrysanthemums and white wax.

Star-Lord and the others stood before the tombstone inscribed with Tony's name and bowed deeply three times.

Quill also placed his right fist on his left shoulder, a marauder's funeral rite.

“Tony was our partner, and we sincerely hope he rests in peace in heaven,” Quill said earnestly.

Rocket pursed his lips, recalling his experience in the laboratory; losing a partner was no pleasant feeling.

He picked some wildflowers along the road to Groot and piled them in front of the tombstone. He also broke off a branch from a tree and gently placed it on top of the half-person-high tombstone.

"I am Groot!"

Gamora had seen too much life and death, and her impression of Tony Stark was rather lukewarm.

He simply muttered, "What a pity," and then stood silently to the side, watching Quill and the others reminisce.

Ten minutes later, the group was preparing to leave.

A whooshing sound came from afar.

War Machine Lieutenant Colonel Roddy, wearing Mark 50 armor, descended from the sky and raised his hands, aiming his palm cannons at Quill and the others.

Reminded by Jarvis, Roddy, as a friend of Tony Stark, naturally did not want strangers to disturb Tony's resting place.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on Tony's resting place?"

Quill quickly explained, "Calm down, we're Tony's partners. Do you know Star-Lord?"

Rockets scoffed, "Idiot Quill, do you really think you're famous?"

Roddy frowned and hesitated for a moment. Although he was unsure of the origins of these strange people, they did not damage the cemetery, according to Jarvis's surveillance footage.

"I've never heard of any Star-Lord. Since you're not here to cause trouble, leave after you've finished your ceremony."

Quill didn't want to strain things too much with this person who was most likely Tony Stark's relative, so he quickly said he would leave immediately.

Rocket grumbled angrily, wanting to take down this pretentious guy, but Gamora grabbed him by the neck and forcibly took him away.

"Hey... put me down, you crazy woman, I'm going to fight you to the death..."

The noise gradually faded away, and the cemetery returned to silence.

Roddy walked to Stark's tombstone and sighed, saying:

“Brother, I will take good care of Pepper for you. Our children will inherit the Stark family’s fortune in the future. I hope you can agree.”

"After all, you have no immediate family. If you don't want Stark Industries to be taken over by those unscrupulous extended family members..."

"We have to rely on the child in Pepper Potts' belly to inherit the last legacy you left to this world."

"We've avenged you for Hydra. That old dog Pierce died a horrible death; you can rest in peace in heaven now..."

Roddy talked on and on for half an hour.

It wasn't until Carol issued the call to arms for the Avengers that he activated his thrusters, soared into the clouds, and disappeared into the horizon.

the other side.

Quill, Gamora, and the others were slinked out of the cemetery and returned to the Milano spaceship.

Rocket said impatiently, "Now that we've visited Stark, we should return to our familiar space and try to make the Guardians of the Galaxy famous throughout the universe."

Gamora chimed in, "Finally, a normal person."

Star-Lord hesitated, then stammered, "Guys...I want to...go back to Mississippi to visit Grandpa. Could you give me half a day?"

Groot: "I am Groot"

The Rockets can understand, but do not agree.

"We'll leave the mini-spaceship to you; you can visit your family at your leisure. As for the rest of you, you can continue to uphold justice with me, your new captain!"

Gamora glanced at Quill, who was hesitating, and said considerately, "Visiting your family is a very important thing. You have to go. Anyway, we have a mini spaceship, so you can come to us anytime."

Quill thought about it and ultimately decided that visiting his grandfather was more important.

"Alright, just don't lose my Milano. I'll come find you right away after I visit my grandfather."

Subsequently, a miniature spacecraft, about three meters in size, fell from the bottom of the Milano, which was flying in the stratosphere.

The Guardians of the Galaxy split into two groups: Rocket took Gamora and Groot back to space to complete their unfinished adventure.

Quill then piloted his mini-spaceship toward Mississippi.

Half an hour later.

The mini-spaceship landed at a two-story townhouse on the outskirts of Homini County, a place that Quill remembered.

This is the house he remembers as his grandfather Jason Spartacus's.

Quill rang the doorbell with a mixture of hesitation, anticipation, trepidation, and determination.

“Ding—dong!”

A middle-aged maid, around forty years old, opened the door and looked at the strange man warily. She was holding a revolver behind her back.
