Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Drax ignored Gamora, watching the Kree fleet gradually appear in the sky, and shouted, "Finally! I will face my enemy and defeat him with my own hands!"

The Kree's black, egg-shaped single-person spaceships surrounded the entire No Man's Land and scoured inside the head of the Celestial, searching for Star-Lord and his companions.

Gamora no longer wanted to condemn Drax's actions; after all, revenge is the greatest human endeavor. Everything she was doing now was also for revenge.

Gamora anxiously asked Laura, "How much longer until they arrive in Lothric? Or where are they located? We need to get the goods there; we can't let Ronan get his hands on them!"

"Uh... I just sent a message, they... look at the sky, they've arrived!"

Lara pointed to the sky with delight. A colossal ship was parked on the outskirts of the Land of No Return. Looking out from inside the skull of the gods, only a part of the cathedral building on the Emperor-class battleship could be seen.

Lothric's arrival tied down most of Ronan's forces.

The dragon riders piloted their dragons, their flames and lightning flashing, each attack turning the Kree's small ships into fireworks against the backdrop of space.

Drax roared and charged toward the Kree fleet's position.

"We need to get the stuff onto that warship! And...we also need to help Drax!"

At this moment, Gamora and the others faced a dilemma: the responsibilities they bore and their companions. Looking at the cosmic orb in her hand, Gamora prepared to hand it to Star-Lord, so that he, with his flight equipment, could take it away.

However, Star-Lord took the lead, activating his equipment and flying towards Drax, leaving behind only one sentence.

"I'm going to help Drax, Rocket, and take Gamora away!"

Rocket Raccoon watched the battle unfolding in the starry sky, baring his teeth. At that moment, he felt a long-lost sense of camaraderie with his friends, a feeling he hadn't experienced since Carl left.

Rocket cocked his weapon with a click and said to Gamora, "Let's go, we need to get moving! Hey girl, you have a spaceship, right?"

The rocket's second half of its sentence was directed at Laura, who quickly replied, "The Jackdaw is not far away, we need to speed up!"

A rocket shot, shattering a nearby Kree soldier. The rocket then addressed Groot, who was drinking Celestial Spinal Fluid behind him, saying, "Groot especially drinks that stuff! Clear the way!"

"I am Groot!"

Groot offered a wry remark, then strode off in the direction Lara had pointed.

Vines began to grow from Groot's body, weaving a suit of vine armor around him, allowing him to withstand Kree artillery fire and charge into the enemy's lines.

As soon as Groot took a step, Rocket climbed onto him and, using Groot's head as a source of firepower, began taking down one Kree after another.

Lara, wielding two climbing axes, took down an enemy with each swing, leaving Gamora utterly astonished.

"Your weapon is very special!"

"This isn't a weapon, it's a tool. It's not a murder weapon, although it has killed countless enemies..."

The group continued on their way and finally arrived at the position of the Jackdaw. Jonah and Rocket immediately took over the gunner positions on the deck and began to unleash fire on the enemy.

The Kree's small airships were completely unable to penetrate the Jackdaw's defense system, a hybrid of ancient and modern technology.

However, there were some reckless lunatics who, facing the gunfire of the Jackdaws, used Kree airships as torpedoes and rammed them directly into the enemy.

The airship exploded directly on the Jackdaw's energy defense shield, and a blue mechanical figure fell onto the Jackdaw's deck.

Having suffered from the explosion and impact, the blue mechanical body was twisted beyond recognition, but Gamora revealed a cautious look, handed the Cosmic Orb to Lara beside her, and took out her weapon.

The blue mechanical body was suspended in mid-air like a puppet, and after a series of tooth-ache-inducing clicking sounds, it returned to its original form.

"Gamora! My sister, I've finally found you!"

Chapter 434: Power Gem Acquired

Gamora looked at Nebula in front of her and did not immediately point her weapon at her, but tried to persuade Nebula.

"Nebula, don't do this..."

Nebula coldly watched Gamora, drew her weapon, swung her sword forward, and engaged Gamora in battle.

Nebula is also Thanos's adopted daughter, a Lufenmod. She has been sent by Thanos as an ally of Ronan the Accuser, to help him obtain the Infinity Stones.

However, under Thanos, Nebula and Gamora received two different treatments.

As Thanos's children, they were forced to undergo various forms of training in killing from a young age. Battles between the children became a crucial element in gaining Thanos's favor.

Nebula lost to Gamora in every battle, which forced her to undergo body modification. However, even with this mechanization, Nebula still couldn't defeat Gamora.

This led Nebula to believe that the torture and physical modifications she suffered at Gamora's hands were caused by Gamora repeatedly defeating her during Thanos's training.

This caused Nebula, who longed for family after the planet's destruction, to develop unusual feelings for Gamora.

On one hand, she desperately wanted to defeat Gamora to prove herself, and on the other hand, she also wanted to gain sisterly affection from Gamora.

But Gamora, who was also a child at the time, only wanted to survive in Thanos's hands and was completely unaware of Nebula's intentions, which caused the two sisters' relationship to continue in this entangled way until now.

Nebula Smurfette just wants recognition; she doesn't care about anything else right now. Besides, Ronan's fleet is right there; defeating Gamora and getting the gems is the priority. (The actress who plays Nebula Smurfette is very beautiful.)

On the Jackdaw, Ross pilots the ship, Jonah and Rocket Raccoon control the weapons, leaving only Lara and Groot to assist Gamora.

But when Lara put down the Cosmic Orb, she saw Groot stroking the deck of the Jackdaw like a lover, and even planting flowers on the deck.

"Okay, I knew aliens would have all sorts of peculiar tastes..."

Laura shook her head, brandished her two climbing axes, and charged toward the Nebula.

The climbing axe came down directly at Nebula's back. As a cyborg, Nebula dodged Lara's climbing axe with perfect precision, but failed to dodge Gamora's flying kick.

Gamora kicked Nebula in the stomach, sending her flying.

Nebula, gliding on the deck, lost her initial advantage in Laura's relay.

Nebula's physical skills were already inferior to Gamora's, and now with Laura's assistance in the attack, she was quickly knocked away from her weapon.

Lara's two climbing axes restrained Nebula's arms, while Gamora's sword was held against Nebula's neck. Together, they restrained Gamora on the deck.

Nebula tried to resist, but Gamora knocked her unconscious with a single punch.

"Groot, stop playing around with the deck and come keep an eye on her!"

Upon hearing Gamora's call, Groot hesitated for a moment, then stopped planting flowers on the deck. Instead, he stretched out vines, bound Nebula together, and hung her upside down in the air, letting her watch him plant other things on the deck.

In this space war, the Jackdaw was just one of the many struggling to survive in the lawless zone.

After taking off, they temporarily escaped the enemies on the ground. Piloted by Ross, the Jackdaw darted between the Lothric dragon riders and the Kree Death Star gunships.

There's no need for so much artillery for now. Rocket Raccoon, unable to tolerate Ross's flying rules, stood to the side and mocked, "Is this how you sail a boat?"

Having spent so much time adrift in space, Ross knew that some people possessed special abilities. He didn't argue, simply stepping aside to give up half of the control panel, and said, "Full manual operation, can you handle it?"

"Of course! That's exactly how I was designed!"

Rocket Raccoon grinned, jumped onto the cockpit, and began operating the Jackdaw.

Watching Rocket Raccoon leap between the various buttons on the control panel, and even the old stern rudder of the Jackdaw, Rocket seemed to handle it with ease.

Rose gradually handed over all driving control to Rocket Raccoon, watching him demonstrate his driving skills.

Ross pulled out his half-smoked cigar, lit it, took a deep drag, and said, "You're pretty good. You're the second most capable animal I've ever seen that can actually move!"

"A second one? You've seen other modified animals?"

"On Earth, there's a hedgehog named Carl who brought us intelligence about a cosmic threat. He's now settled on Earth..."

“Karl?”

Rocket turned around in surprise and looked at Rose. He really didn't expect to hear about his friend's news under such circumstances.

Ross spat out his cigar and shouted, "Look ahead!"

A Kree gunboat rammed directly into the Jackdaw's energy shield, causing the entire Jackdaw to tremble due to the energy surge.

"Don't get distracted! We're running for our lives now!"

Ross displayed the surrounding enemies on the screen and stood back on the cockpit, ready to take over control of the Jackdaw at any moment.

Fortunately, the battle between Lothric and the Kree drew their attention to each other, and Nebula's capture made it difficult for the Kree to gather intelligence on the Jackdaw for the time being.

The Jackdaw, having slipped through the net, secretly left the war-torn land of lawlessness.

Relieved, the group finally had the time to examine the Emperor-class battleship of the Lothric Expeditionary Force.

Rocket Raccoon looked at the warship and exclaimed in admiration, "It's so beautiful..."

"This is an Emperor-class battleship of the Lothric Expeditionary Force. Its effective hull length alone is five kilometers long, not to mention the various weapons mounted on it..."

Gamora stood beside them, introducing the basic information about the warship.

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Gamora explained, "Thanos knows everything about all the armed forces in the universe, but he doesn't know anything about the situation inside this warship."

Just then, a dragon flew alongside the Jackdaw. The three Lothric Knights on the dragon stared at the Jackdaw, and the spear-shield knight had already charged up his lightning, ready to unleash it.

Just as the crew of the Jackdaw were nervously preparing to contact the battleship and inform it of their identities and purpose, the Lothric Knights accompanying them suddenly put away their weapons.

The dragon riders, having switched to a different attack mode, flew ahead of the Jackdaw, clearing a path for it to the battleship.

The Jackdaw was guided to a stop on the top of the battleship, just a short distance from the church it was heading to.

However, after Gamora and the others walked this path and entered the church, they realized that their understanding of the warship was only superficial.

Upon entering the church, the sky inside is completely different, with a sun hanging in the sky like a solar eclipse.

"Wow, I never imagined they could fit an entire universe into a single warship!"

The rocket seemed to express its amazement. Looking up at the sun in the sky, it said, "Am I the only one who felt that the eclipse was partially deflected?"

Unlike Rocket Raccoon's relaxed demeanor, Gamora looked nervously at the Lothric Knights lined up around her and said, "We're about to meet one of the most powerful forces in the universe, don't..."

"What? Like this? In such a large space, I can search around casually and no one can find anything I've searched!"

Upon hearing Rocket's words, the Lothric Knight beside him suddenly pounded his breastplate, the clanging of metal making the atmosphere somewhat tense.

The rocket's tail retracted, but it still bared its teeth at the Lothric Knights in defiance.

Laura stood in front of the rocket, shielding him from the Lothric Knights' view, and even carried him in her arms, walking at the very front.

Laura stroked Rocket's hair, reassuring him, "Don't be nervous, they're actually very easy to talk to."

"But they had metallic faces and looked very serious."

"Is it possible that they were wearing armor?"

"I thought that's what they looked like..."
