I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Their target wasn't the Orb of Destiny, but Star-Lord lying on the ground.

Just as the two were struggling to stuff Star-Lord into the sack, the Nova Corps of Xandar finally arrived.

A pale golden beam of particle light enveloped the group, and then Star-Lord and the others floated up as if weightless.

What awaited them was the prison on Xandar where serious criminals were held.

Inside the prison, several people wearing yellow prison uniforms walked forward in a line.

Gamora said to Star-Lord, "Damn it, why didn't you keep an eye on the Orb!"

"Isn't it because you suddenly kicked me and then stole the Orb of Destiny?"

Star-Lord said somewhat angrily.

Meanwhile, Rocket Raccoon was comforting Groot.

"Don't worry, brother. This place can't control me. Remember how many times we've escaped from prison together? Twenty-two times!"

Groot nodded. "I am... Groot!"

Meanwhile, aboard the Dark Star warship.

The accuser, Ronan, was listening to his subordinates' report when he looked at Nebula with fury in his eyes.

"Your sister Gamora betrayed us; she wants to take the Orb for herself!"

Nebula said expressionlessly, "I will find Gamora and then deliver her head and the Orb to you."

In a hotel on Xandar, Depp takes out the Cosmic Orb, only to discover a serious problem.

Although he could use his X-ray vision to see the Power Stone floating inside, Depp couldn't open it at all!

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Depp muttered:

"I remember in the movie, after Ronan obtained the Orb of the Universe, he easily opened it and then set it into his hammer."

"Could it be that that guy's strength far exceeds mine?"

"Impossible. That guy's strength looks like it's only a few dozen tons. He's not even on the same level as me."

Suddenly, Depp thought of something...

"Could it be because of the collector, Tagliativan?"

Depp quickly confirmed the idea.

Indeed, in the movie, after Star-Lord and the others handed the Orb to Talia Tivan, it took him a long time to unlock it with his special equipment.

Subsequently, the rebellion of the servants caused the Power Gem's energy to erupt, triggering an explosion.

Gamora then simply put the two halves of the cosmic orb back together.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the cosmic orb that Ronan obtained has already been successfully unlocked.

The Cosmic Orb in his hand is currently locked.

Depp sighed helplessly at this thought.

"It seems I still have to go find the Collector."

The Collectors' lair is located in a place called the Land of Nothingness.

That place is a planet created from the head of a dead Celestial.

Depp put on the sling ring, recalling what the place looked like when it was gone, and then gently drew a line in mid-air.

Ok?

The portal didn't appear, which puzzled Depp.

If once doesn't work, then try twice!

Depp made the gesture of drawing a portal again, but the result was the same as before: the portal did not appear.

"Could it be that my memory is faulty? That can't be!" Depp thought. "Could it be because the portal isn't working within the Celestials' bodies?"

Depp felt that this was the real reason, but the problem was that he didn't have a spaceship capable of interstellar travel.

Furthermore, Xandar uses a universal currency, but Depp's card only contains US dollars, not this thing!

Furthermore, even if Depp bought the spaceship, he wouldn't know how to operate it.

The system never gave him the ability to use the spaceship.

Hey!

Depp sighed silently.

It seems I still have to go find Star-Lord.

At least that guy's broken spaceship has the ability to interstellar travel, which can take him to a place where nothingness exists.

And those guys should still be in Xandar's prison right now...

Inside the Xandar prison, Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and others have just reached a cooperation agreement and are preparing to begin their prison break plan.

Rocket Raccoon, carrying a food tray, told the group what they needed for the escape.

"If you want to escape, you have to get into the control tower in the middle first."

"And first of all, I need the security wristbands on my guards that control entry and exit."

Gamora immediately replied, "Leave this to me."

Rocket Raccoon pointed to a prisoner with a prosthetic leg not far away and said, "That guy over there, I need his prosthetic leg."

Star-Lord asked doubtfully, "His prosthetic leg?"

“Yes!” Rocket Raccoon said, suppressing a laugh, “I need his prosthetic leg; I really don’t need any other parts of his body.”

“No problem, I’ll take care of his prosthetic leg.”

Star-Lord said confidently.

Rocket Raccoon pointed to the control tower behind him and said, "At the very end, there's a black passage behind that wall, flashing yellow lights. See that thing?"

“I saw it,” Star-Lord said blankly.

The group took their trays and sat down at a table.

"There's an X-Stone energy cell behind there, in a purple box with green wires," Rocket Raccoon said, putting his tray on the table. "I need that to get into the watchtower."

Gamora asked, "But how can we get those things?"

"Let those bald security guards see how sexy you are, and the deal will be done, right?"

"Rocket Raccoon said."

Are you fucking messing with me?

Gamora clenched her fist and said.

Upon seeing this, Rocket Raccoon immediately explained, "I really heard them complimenting your figure!"

Star-Lord added, "The walls of the watchtower are a full twenty feet high. It's impossible to climb up there without being spotted by the guards!"

Rocket Raccoon slammed his fist on the table and said, "My plan is flawless, but we must get that energy battery. Enough talk, do as I say!"

While the family was having a heated discussion, no one noticed that Groot had already walked to the foot of the watchtower and reached out to break off the X-stone energy cell.

Rocket Raccoon pointed a finger, giving the final instruction: "Alright guys, let's get back to the point! The most important part of the plan is that once that battery is removed, the alert status will be activated immediately."

"Therefore, we need to take action immediately after obtaining the battery. In other words... we need to retrieve the energy battery in the final stage."

No sooner had Rocket Raccoon finished speaking than Groot's raised right hand had already grasped the energy cell.

Then, the kind and honest little tree person gently broke it open.

Click~

Energy batteries were thus easily obtained.

With the power cells removed, the entire prison's power system was immediately cut off, and more than half of the lights automatically turned off.

And immediately, urgent alarms sounded in the prison.

Star-Lord and Gamora were still confused, looking at the ceiling with puzzled expressions as the alarm horn kept blaring.

Rocket Raccoon turned around and saw Groot handing him the energy battery he had just removed.

Seeing this, Rocket Raccoon helplessly shrugged and said, "Let's get the batteries first and see what happens."

Gamora: "I'll go get the bracelet sorted out!"

Star-Lord: "I'll go get the prosthetic leg sorted out!"

After saying that, the group immediately split up and began to act.

Meanwhile, after witnessing the chaos in the prison, Drax the Destroyer, with his sharp mind, made the best decision of his life.

That is to help the talking little mouse in front of us, and that tree person!

On the other side, the guy with the prosthetic leg had just returned to his cell and sat down with a tray when he saw Star-Lord running to his cell door, panting heavily.

"Is there something you need?"

"The guy with the fake leg put the plate on the table and said."

Star-Lord walked into the cell, looked around, and then said, "Dude, I want your prosthetic leg."

"???"

The guy with the prosthetic leg: "Are you kidding me? Can't you see I only have this one prosthetic leg? How am I supposed to move around without it?"

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord immediately pulled out his mobile terminal and said, "I'll give you thirty thousand dollars to buy your secondhand, broken prosthetic leg, right now!"

Upon seeing Star-Lord's balance, the guy with the fake leg swiftly removed his prosthetic leg and tossed it to Star-Lord.

"He's your buddy now, but you have to transfer the money to me in person."
