I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Suddenly, Star-Lord stopped, took out a projection device from his pocket that looked like a cheap transformation device, and shook it vigorously.

Then, the projector, which had finally been activated, emitted a blue light, shining on the spot in front of Star-Lord.

On the projector, footage recorded many years ago began to play slowly.

At that time, Morag was not yet a deserted planet.

The indigenous civilization here is thriving, and a prosperous scene unfolds before your eyes.

Countless people shopped and chatted on the street, and a girl wearing a plaid dress was happily playing with her dog.

Not far away, within the temple, lies Star-Lord's purpose for this journey... the Cosmic Orb.

The scene shifts, and Star-Lord turns off the projector. Since the image on the projector now perfectly matches what's in front of him, Star-Lord no longer needs the video to guide him.

Entering the abandoned temple, all that could be seen was ruin and desolation, which was not entirely unrelated to the scene shown on the projector, but rather vastly different.

With his mission about to be accomplished, Star-Lord couldn't help but feel excited.

At this moment, only music can reflect my mood!

Star-Lord gently pressed the button on his ear to remove his helmet, put on his headphones, then clipped his blue Sony WALKMAN to his waist, pressed play, and began his swaying life to the rhythm of "Come and Get Your Love."

Along the way, Star-Lord walked with a whimsical and absurd gait, kicking small dinosaurs and using lizards as microphones, as he headed deeper into the temple where the Orb of Destiny was located.

Deep within the temple, the cosmic orb was stored inside a cylindrical container.

Around the container, there was a blue energy, like an electric current, that trapped the cosmic orb inside.

Star-Lord, on the other hand, used a triangular device that emitted gravity to suck the Orb out of the house.

The Power Stone within the Orb of Destiny is also the first Infinity Stone to appear before audiences in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

When Depp opened his eyes again, he knew exactly where he was and what it looked like.

-----

Abandoned planet, Morag.

Star-Lord was currently wearing his signature red cloak, swaying along on this incredibly humid planet.

Obsessed with the vague outline, he was unaware that Ronan's men, the highest accuser of the Kree Empire, were piloting a spaceship and rapidly approaching Morag.

Upon arriving at the temple, just as depicted in the movie, Star-Lord easily obtained the Orb of Destiny.

At the same time, behind him, several armed Kree soldiers pointed their guns at Star-Lord and said, "Put that thing down!"

Star-Lord turned around upon hearing this, his eyes filled with shock.

Seeing that Star-Lord still wouldn't put down the Orb, the other party angrily shouted, "Put that thing down right now!"

"Hey, calm down, buddy, this is totally fine!"

Faced with the dark muzzle of a gun, Star-Lord had no choice but to obediently throw the Orb to the ground.

"Don't get excited, it's perfectly fine. Look, I've already thrown that thing on the ground!"

How did you find out about this?

"The leader of the Kree soldiers asked."

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord's eyes lit up and he immediately began to lie: "I'm just a junk collector. I was just passing by and casually flipped through the trash to see if there were any little things I could sell for money."

The Kree soldier leader said, "You don't look like a scavenger; you're wearing a raider's uniform!"

"Oh, it's just a tattered jacket!" Star-Lord turned to the guy who had been pointing a gun at him and said helplessly, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, please stop pointing that junk at me, okay?"

"Who are you?!"

The Kree soldier leader roared.

"My name is Peter Quill. Okay, buddy, calm down!"

Star-Lord said.

The Kree soldier leader continued, "Follow me!"

"Why?" Star-Lord asked.

“Ronan may have something to ask you.” The Kree soldier leader clearly didn’t want to linger, and after saying that, he turned to leave.

Seeing this, Star-Lord no longer concealed his identity and immediately said, "Hey, you might have heard of me by another name!"

The Kree soldier leader turned around and saw Star-Lord's sharp gaze as he said, "Star-Lord, Star-Lord the Thief."

However, the Kree soldier leader's puzzled expression and gestures made Star-Lord feel frustrated. He tried to explain, "Star-Lord... Legendary Thief, don't tell me you've never heard of him."

Just as the Kree soldier leader was about to forcibly take Star-Lord away, a sparking portal appeared behind him, and then an incredibly handsome man slowly stepped out of the portal and said:

"No, this guy is actually a complete idiot."

Although Star-Lord didn't know what kind of person the new man was, he still retorted with a sneer, "You're the biggest idiot!"

The Kree soldier leader looked at the suddenly appearing human in surprise, pointed his gun at him, and asked, "And who the hell are you?"

“Looks like I’m a bit late, but I’m lucky enough to have caught the last train.” Depp walked up to the Kree soldier leader, his brow furrowed slightly. “Who I am is none of your business. Besides, I don’t like having a gun pointed at me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, heat rays condensed in Depp's eyes, instantly blasting the Kree soldier leader's head into a cloud of blood mist.

“I think we can talk, Star-Lord.”

Chapter 294 New Star

"You can talk about anything you want, but first, buddy, you need to calm down!"

Star-Lord stared in disbelief as the head of the Kree soldier leader exploded into a bloody mist like a watermelon. He was instantly filled with panic.

While speaking, he involuntarily took three steps back.

As soon as Star-Lord finished speaking, he saw the man in front of him unleash another beam of light from his eyes, which circled around him and wiped out the remaining Kree soldiers.

It has to be said that this heat vision technique gave Star-Lord a certain sense of déjà vu.

It looks exactly like his godfather Yondu's Yaka Whistle Arrow!

However, unlike Yaka's whistle arrow which merely pierced the target, Depp's heat ray directly melted the target into a bloody mist.

This is far more powerful than the Bica whistle arrow!

Therefore, Star-Lord dared not make any rash moves.

His years as an interstellar thief made him realize how many powerful and insane beings there are in the universe.

If you make any move to try to escape, you could be killed on the spot by the guy in front of you.

“First, I need you to give me the Orb of Destiny,” Depp said, walking toward Star-Lord. “Then… you’ll have to end your career as an intergalactic thief and do something more meaningful.”

"The Cosmic Orb? Why do you want this thing so badly?!"

Star-Lord said helplessly, then kicked the cosmic orb he had thrown on the ground to Depp.

Just as Depp bent down to pick up the Orb, Star-Lord immediately activated the thrusters on his feet, accelerating past Depp.

His goal was his own spaceship.

Depp picked up the Orb of Destiny, watched Star-Lord fleeing frantically, and a smile crept onto his lips.

From the perspective of X-ray vision, there was no Power Stone inside the cosmic orb in his hand.

This is just a textile that Star-Lord took out at some point; the real Orb is still in Star-Lord's possession.

However, Depp wasn't worried. He knew where Star-Lord's next stop was, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

In the distance, Star-Lord hurriedly boarded his spaceship, then immediately started it up, preparing to leave Morag.

Along the way, Kree soldiers unleashed a barrage of fire at Star-Lord and his ship.

However, this guy was lucky; the core of his spaceship was undamaged, and he successfully left Morag.

Depp watched the departing spaceship, then waved his hands, and the scorching currents of Morag were driven by him like a well-behaved child, heading straight for the Kree soldiers who were still firing at Star-Lord's ship.

It must be said that Morag, a planet rich in water resources, is very suitable for Depp's newly acquired water combat skills.

After dealing with the Kree soldiers, Depp threw the fake Orb in his hand to the ground and then drew the portal again.

He stepped onto another highly advanced planet.

"Xandar, here I come."

Compared to Depp's rapid arrival using the portal, it would actually take Star-Lord some time to get here.

So, Depp is going to explore this place thoroughly.

Because Depp specifically used a week's travel time in the Marvel universe on his way to Morag, he wasn't worried about the situation in Gotham.

After all, the moment Depp used time travel, time essentially stopped in Gotham.

Or, to put it another way, when the travel time ends, Depp will be sent back to the point in time when he first used the travel time.

Xandar is a highly developed planet, filled with a futuristic and technological feel.

Compared to Earth, the level of technology here is significantly higher.

Furthermore, Xandar has become more diverse.

Here, you can see many different cosmic races, each with different skin colors and appearances, but no one will find it strange.

Everyone has long been accustomed to living with people from different universes and civilizations.

Not long ago, the Xandarians and their arch-enemies, the Kree, signed a peace treaty, making Xandar even more peaceful and tranquil, as if it had long since been free from war.

Beneath this seemingly peaceful surface, a storm is about to be unleashed due to the arrival of Star-Lord and the Orb of Destiny.

The Dark Star, the warship of Ronan, the Kree's highest accuser.

Inside the warship, Ronan and Gamora had just received news that Star-Lord had stolen the Orb of Destiny.

Nebula volunteered to go to Xandar to capture Star-Lord, but was stopped by Gamora.

Ultimately, Gamora's undefeated record convinced Ronan to believe in her.

Soon, Gamora boarded the warship Ronan had prepared for her and headed to Xandar, intending to seize the Orb of Destiny from him.

Of course, this time, Gamora is neither working for Ronan nor for Thanos.

This terrifying woman with green skin plans to sell the Orb of Destiny to a super-rich buyer... the Collector Talia Tivan.
