Cosmic space, somewhere.

The space was opened up by cosmic energy, and the cosmic elders chased them out of the rift one by one.

Following the trail of energy left behind by their companions, it didn't take long for them to find their companion who had been leveled out in the silence of space. At this moment, the sprinter was still bound by the rings of restraining light, and it was difficult to even move a finger.

The Champion of the Universe raised his hand and struck a knife to cut off the circle of light wrapped around his companion, and the azure energy broke off and then dissipated into starlight. The sprinter was babbling as he broke free of his mouth: "Lighter, you almost cut me just now......"

"And what about others?" The collector asked.

"Lost it." The sprinter was a little depressed, "I was careless, he was more cunning than I thought." I hesitated for a moment and then said......"

"We're all careless." The gardener said, "We thought we were going to deal with the little star-swallowing girl, and a few messengers. I didn't expect the patron saint of the earth to suddenly kill ......"

"Humans call him 'Ultraman.'" Collector said.

"I don't care what his name is, I only care that he's running away now, and he's still with that star-swallowing girl." The Champion of the Universe looked angry and didn't know who to turn to, "And you just said that the Planet Eater was let go too?" It was a complete failure. So what the hell are we doing here with a bunch of old guys? Have a party? ”

"Calm down, champion. And that's not all. Gao Tianzun seemed calmer than usual, "We can still get them back." ”

"Oh? How? The Cosmic Champion asked, "Do you need me to remind you that he has the Infinity Stones?" The truth is, in this universe he can go wherever he wants. We've missed the best chance and it's almost impossible to catch him next. ”

The gardener pondered for a moment, then said, "Not really. Unlike us, he is a god with a divine position. He had his own work and responsibilities, and that was something he couldn't turn his back on. Sooner or later, he always has to go back to his own planet. ”

"Yes, that means he can't run away forever, and sooner or later he'll stand up to us." Collector said.

"And the next time he shows up, he won't be able to slip away." This time it was the sprinter who spoke. The elder has a deep fascination with racing, and even though he has been hit by a shady trick, he still sees the confrontation as a victory or defeat that he lost, and he can't wait for a rematch with Ultraman.

"There's no way he'll escape next time, not even with the Infinity Stones."

"Don't worry, I don't think that's far off. The truth is, we don't have to wait on Earth. Gao Tianzun smiled, "We'll find him soon, or rather...... Our allies will. ”

......

At this moment, Xandar Star, Nova Legion.

This was Richard's first stop with Ganata after escaping the sprinter.

Ganata was in a very bad state, the whole person was in a state of overconsumption, and she couldn't wake up from a deep drowsy at all. The Nova Legion had helped her the last time this happened, so Richard thought they might be able to help again.

...... Well, and he doesn't have much to do but here.

It is definitely not possible to return to Earth, and it is precisely because he is the patron saint of Earth that he cannot bring this battle to Earth.

According to the original Plan A, after evacuating with Ganata, he was going to go back to cover Brother Hammer's retreat, but in the current situation, there was obviously no chance. However, after their battle broke out, the Saka Star Arena was in chaos, and all the prisoners who were imprisoned rioted on a large scale, and I believe that Brother Hammer's ability should be able to withdraw easily.

The Nova Legion learned of the situation and was happy to lend a hand. Nova Supreme once again lent them the energy of the Legion's central computer, channeling a huge amount of Nova energy from another dimension into Ganata's body.

During this time, Ganata woke up in a daze.

“...... Richard? ”

"I'm here."

Ganata sat up with his support and blinked blankly, her eyes as hazy as a mist.

"Where am I?"

"Nova Legion." Richard said, "Nova Supreme has promised to help you regain your strength, but it will take a while. You have to try not to move as much as possible to reduce your physical exertion. ”

Ganata held her forehead and shook her little head, still looking a little dizzy.

And then she remembered something: "My dad ......"

"It's safe, I got him out." Richard said.

Ganata was silent for a moment and asked, "Nova Legion...... I remember they hated me. Why are they helping me? ”

Richard smiled and gently rubbed her head, gesturing down her long smooth hair.

"Nobody hates you, Carrie." He whispered, "You saved the planet, remember?" The people here are grateful to you and see you as a hero, just like me. All of them owe you, so they are willing to help you. ”

Ganata hung her head. After a while, she whispered, "I'm sorry, Richard." ”

"Why?"

"I ...... I'm in trouble again. She said, "I'm always in trouble, I can't do anything by myself, and I'm dragging you into trouble with me......"

Richard raised an eyebrow.

Is there one?

Why do I feel like I'm dragging you to help me more?

He noticed that Ganata seemed to remember the bad things about her when she helped her, but she remembered everything he did each time she helped her—even if it was just the most ordinary plate of sweet and sour ribs.

She didn't seem to remember helping him fight Zaki at Xandar in the first place, and Richard would have become a part of Zaki without her.

Richard thought for a moment and said, "I've asked you something similar before, but now that it's different, I'd like to ask again...... Do you want to stay on Earth? Stay with me? ”

Ganata still hung her head, but nodded her little head slightly.

"Let's stay together, then." Richard smiled and continued to caress her hair, "After today, when we beat all these Laoshzi elders, we will go back to Earth together, and then I will make you a lot of delicious food, okay?" ”

Ganata hesitated and whispered, "But...... But they're all very good......"

"yes, I know, but I'm not a vegetarian either. I'm a Patronus and an Ultraman. Remember the movies and stories I told you? Ultraman always wins, especially when they're fighting to protect something. ”

With that, he stood up.

"Like I said before, if I can't even protect a person, then I'm still a patron saint of a hammer? It's better to be laid off on the spot.

Rest assured, I'll win, no matter who my opponent is. ”
