Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Although Star-Lord felt that using the dance-off tactic might not work now, he still took a deep breath and took a step forward.

After all, what other solutions are there besides this desperate measure?

We can't expect Peter to take down Ronan all by himself.

Are you kidding me!

Ronan is holding the Power Stone!

Others may not know how terrifying the Power Stone's power is, but how could he not know?

He had previously planned to sell the Sphere of the Universe to the collector, and thus witnessed firsthand how the collector's maid, coveting the Power Stone, was blasted to smithereens by the stone's terrifying energy the moment she touched it!

Even a reckless attempt to touch it would result in instant annihilation.

Now that it is being driven by someone's full force, how can human beings resist it!

With this thought in mind, Star-Lord took a deep breath, trying his best to act like his usual carefree self. He unplugged his Walkman headphones, clapped along to the beat, and swayed his body as he approached Ronan and sang:

"Hey~"

Boom!

The imagined scenario of Ronan being controlled by his own dancing and singing did not happen.

He had barely opened his mouth when Ronan raised his warhammer.

The power gem's violent energy instantly poured into the hammerhead, and the dazzling purple light was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

A purple shockwave, as thick as a water bucket, shot out directly from the top of the warhammer.

Star-Lord overlooked one thing.

His plan succeeded in the original work because

That's because Ronan had almost completely conquered Xandar by then.

He defeated all his opponents when he was in high spirits and completely unprepared.

That's why Star-Lord used his awkward dance to control him.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Peter's act of tearing up the Dark Star's energy field brought him a strong sense of crisis.

In this situation, with his mind highly focused, how could he possibly give Star-Lord an opportunity to take advantage?

"What do you think this place is?!"

With a roar from Ronan, the beam of light instantly struck Star-Lord.

"Damn it!"

Star-Lord didn't even have time to finish his curse before he was hit head-on by the beam of light.

The powerful energy tore his prized red leather jacket to shreds.

His body was blasted away like a tattered rag doll.

Star-Lord coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air before crashing heavily against the metal bulkhead of the Dark Star, his entire body seemingly burned into a semi-crystalline state by energy.

He lay motionless on the ground, completely silent.

"Quail!"

Gamora let out a heart-wrenching scream.

She couldn't believe that this idiot would actually risk his life like that.

More importantly, she found that she seemed to have fallen in love with this seemingly unreliable but actually very sensitive Earthling without even realizing it.

Rocket Raccoon was so angry that he slammed his paw on the spaceship's control panel.

"That idiot! Does he think everyone's as stupid as him?!"

Groot, his face filled with sorrow, leaned against the porthole, watching the direction Star-Lord had fallen.

"I am Groot."

Seeing the terrifying power displayed by the Power Stone, the space pirates unconsciously swallowed hard and looked at the bloodshot-eyed Yondu, saying:

"Boss, I know you're in a hurry, but we're really no match for this guy. We should consider running away."

Yondu desperately wanted to fight Ronan, but his reason told him:

He couldn't risk his life and that of all his brothers here for the sake of this adopted son. He took a deep breath, forcing a nonchalant expression, and said:

"This job is impossible to do; I don't want to die with these idiots!"

"Raiders, all of you, turn the ship around immediately and activate space jump to prepare for escape!"

Seeing that Yondu was already considering quitting, the morale of the Nova Corps, which had been painstakingly built up, was once again fractured.

Lao Dai slumped in his chair, already contemplating whether he should say a final goodbye to his family.

For example, shouting into the communicator, "Tell my mother I'm not a coward," and then launching a suicide attack on Ronan in a Nova fighter jet.

At that moment, Irani also closed his eyes tightly, and a tear of resentment slid down his cheek.

"Xandar... is it really beyond saving?"

"That's right!" Ronan heard her murmur and gave this newly risen supreme ruler an extremely contemptuous smile:

"Feel despair, you insects! I will use your deaths to announce the end of Xandar!"

As he spoke, he swung his warhammer down again.

The moment the hammer fell, a terrifying purple energy shockwave, powerful enough to tear through space, carrying the force to destroy everything, shot towards everyone.

Wherever this energy wave passed, space was visibly distorted. Several small Marauder fighters that were too close did not even have time to dodge before they were directly decomposed into cosmic dust by the dissipating energy aftershocks.

Seeing this, Ilani even closed his eyes in despair.

But she waited for a long time and never felt the pain she had imagined.

What happened?

Ilani opened his eyes a crack in disbelief.

And then... she saw a huge... tree!

Is this... that guy who keeps shouting "Groot"?

Irani instinctively turned to look in Groot's direction, only to find Groot still standing there dumbfounded, muttering to himself:

"I'm Groot?!"

Rocket Raccoon and Destroyer, who were standing nearby, were also dumbfounded.

They kept switching their gaze between the giant tree-man blocking their way and Groot, until finally Rocket couldn't help but shout out:

"Groot? How did you manage to summon your ancestor here?"

"Ancestors? I don't have such a silly great-great-great-grandson~"

The giant treant turned around and made a comment, the youthful voice of which stunned everyone present.

That voice sounded so familiar, it was clearly—Peter's voice!

But how is that possible?

Isn't that guy a pure-blooded Earthling?

Why did it suddenly transform into the appearance of the Flower Goddess Colossus?

A huge question mark appeared in the minds of everyone present.

Peter smiled slightly at Ronan, who was also lying on the ground looking incredulous:

"Blue-skinned monster, now I'll use you to test my newfound abilities!"

As he spoke, Peter clapped his hands together heavily.

The next second, the entire Dark Star began to shake violently.

Countless thick, brown vines appeared out of thin air, like ancient behemoths awakened, piercing through the spaceship's armor at a terrifying speed and growing wildly.

As these vines grow wildly, they constantly intertwine and squeeze each other, forming thick and sturdy branches.

In just a few breaths, a vast primeval forest took root in space.

Wood Release: Clap Your Hands and Shout, and You'll Get What You Want!

Ahem, no, it should be "The Flower and Tree Realm Descends!"
