9. Groot's death
"Boom"
The deadly band of light waved in the dark stars, like the long whip of an animal tamer, flicking in the darkness, and in a brilliant gesture, it outlined a web of destruction in this dead star, and any existence that came into contact with this net would be ruthlessly pierced and shattered, and even the huge planet could not escape this terrible attack.
The opalescent band of light is extremely sharp, like a deadly tentacle wielded by the planet, and every swing will smash a terrible dent on the surface of those dead planets, and even more, those asteroids will be easily penetrated from the center by this band of light.
After the planet is penetrated, it will not disintegrate immediately, it will still be difficult to maintain its rotation, but the debris from the rotation and splitting is flying everywhere in the air, and the stones that are thrown out of orbit will soon completely cover the blank space in the stars, for the starship pilot, the gravel belt full of deadly threats will soon be scattered everywhere, and their speed is not fast, but if the starship is driving at high speed, accidentally crashing into a piece... Then the result will be very, very sour.
In the starship combat regulations of the Nova Legion, a very important one is that any commander, in any case, must first avoid the route or the gravel belt on the battlefield, these inconspicuous little things are almost the deadliest starship killers in the universe.
And now, the fugitives have to travel back and forth through the dangerous rubble belt, and only here can help them hide, facing the kind of Igo light belt that sways at the speed of light, once they are hit, probably everyone except Quell, who also has divine powers, will die.
"Everybody's in the escape pod!"
Yongdu struggled to maneuver the ship, swaying frantically from side to side in the rubble, in front of him were tumbling stones, behind him, a crazy sweeping white light, Quill got up from the driver's seat, and shouted as he rushed towards the cabin, "This ship can't stay!"
This time, even Sim and the Great Tengu had to be scattered in five escape pods with the others, not that they were too scared to fight, but that they could do too little in the face of a planetary life that had lived for millions of years.
"Bang"
Sim grabbed the Treant by the shoulder, forced it into the escape pod, and threw the Rocket Raccoon into it, saying to the Tengu:
"You take Groot first, leave us alone, and go back to Earth as fast as possible!"
"Then you..."
Raccoon scrambled to activate the escape pod, and he turned his head to look at the demon Sim, who grinned at him with a hideous grin: "Hell will soon be reborn, and I can still live, but the overlord's orders must be carried out!
With that, he raised his fist, black scales quickly covered his arm, and claws mixed with green magic fire tore open the deck of the ship, and Sim glanced back at the Great Tengu:
"Take him away! Now, I'll buy you time!"
"Whoa!"
The roaring dragon groaned through the blockade, and the massive demon dragon spread its wings and flew into the icy universe, he turned his head and spewed out a scorching pillar of fire, emptying all the rubble around him, and then flapped his wings and rushed towards the speeding Igo Star.
But he alone couldn't stop Igo at all, in the cold starry sky behind him, the spatial rift was torn open, and the great demon king's unique talent for summoning demons helped him summon a whole formation of dark dragons in an instant, these behemoths followed Sim and rushed to the planet behind him, the demons frantically threw out breath, covering this starry sky, and those summoned demon warlocks stood behind the dark dragon, trying their best to summon the fog of war, shrouding the entire gravel belt.
"Lower life!
The roar of the planet was deafening, and Sim relied on his instinct to dodge the swaying band of light, but the demons behind him were not so lucky, and the white light swept by, and the demon army behind Sim was emptied by a third in an instant.
The Great Demon King of Berserker knew very well that this was a lifeless madness, so he simply gave up his defense, his wings bulged, and at a super-fast speed, he rushed into the surface of Igo Star like a sharp arrow.
"Brain of Wisdom?"
His claws frantically slapped on the ground that had completely turned into a scorched earth, and under the impact of the great demon king's huge force, the unstable ground of Igo Star shattered, like a doomsday subsidence, and the rubble rolled in all directions, cracking a passage to the ground, Sim turned into a human form, looked left and right, and jumped down without a trace of hesitation.
"Old immortal thing, I'm coming for you!"
"Bang"
At the moment when Sim jumped down, two bands of light that were chasing the fugitives quickly disappeared into the starry sky, replaced by Sim between the falls, and there were two more scorching milky white bands of light behind him and in front of him, this was the first defense of the crazy and powerful planetary life Igo, obviously, Sim discovered Igo's Achilles heel, and had already posed a threat to Igo.
Planetary life is powerful, but the brain of wisdom is not indestructible, in fact, Igo built layers of stones and crust around the periphery of his brain of wisdom in order to protect the core of wisdom in the center of the star core.
"Little bug, you'll never get to where you want to go!"
Igo's voice resounded throughout the planet, as if the planet was shaking, and in front of Sim's eyes, the thick bands of light diverged and intertwined, forming a large net that could not be broken, completely blocking the direction of his progress.
"Huh"
Sim's massive wings spread between the crumbling and reborn earth, the scorching flames swaying around his body, struggling to block the ground on both sides, and his eyes looked behind the scorching curtain of light, where a huge rock encased something, apparently what Igo had been protecting.
"Powdered!
In Igo's roar, a trace of regret flashed in Sim's eyes, and he knew that his desperate charge was over.
"My death is nothing, coward!"
The Great Demon King's voice resounded like a volcano in the crust of the earth: "You will soon face his wrath... You will drown in your own blood and your world will burn!hahahaha"
"No one can defeat the Overlord... You'll be the next victim! I'll be in hell watching you go to destruction, Igo, you're dead!"
"Arrogance!"
"Boom"
The flaming magma surging from the center of Igo engulfed Sim entirely, but Igo's anger did not subside, and his face was filled with the humiliation of being betrayed on the planet's surface.
"Quill, you could have been my best work! You can only exist as food!"
"Bang"
The milky white light belt completely dissipated at this moment, and the people who struggled to break out of the gravel belt saw the living planet begin to expand wildly in the porthole of the escape pod, and with the release of its size, the gravitational pull in the starry sky increased rapidly.
"He's pulling us back!"
Yongdu's voice sounded in another escape pod, and Quill rushed to the bridge quickly, pushing the engine's energy to the maximum, and the scorching energy filled the energy grid of the thrusters, but the speed of the escape pod was not only not spending, but still rapidly weakening.
Gamora looked back, the shattered gravel of the planet that almost killed them was quickly pulled to the surface of Igo, as if a set of gravel armor had been reassembled on the surface of the living planet, she couldn't help but look back at Quill, and asked loudly:
"What the hell is he doing?"
"He's in... Take a deep breath!!"
Quill glanced back at the scene behind him, his eyes shrunk to the extreme: "Everyone, turn on the energy protection!
Take a deep breath, inhale it, and then exhale it!
The next moment, Igo's "breath" reached the end, Igo's star was rapidly shrinking in size, and he blessed all the accumulated energy on the surrounding gravel, the gravel was like a cannonball being fired, rushing out in all directions of Iago's star, the speed was extremely fast, without air obstruction, and the traction of gravity was adjusted to the minimum, these stones were enough to destroy everything in the way...
The storm of stones hit, the big tengu glanced back, he clenched the feather fan in his hand, glanced at Groot, and disappeared into the escape pod, the next moment, the wall of the storm was horizontally placed in the windless universe, and under the manipulation of the tengu, the storm was frantically reinforced, enveloping the four escape pods behind it.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The first wave of stones was chopped, but there were too many of them, and Tengu swung his Wind Blade, trying to shred the stones that were enough to smash through the escape pod, but after he shredded the oncoming stones, the milky white spear hidden behind him pierced his abdomen.
A look of pain appeared on the big monster's face, he sensed the malice of the planet, and the moment before his body was shattered, the huge black wings behind his back spread out, densely wrapping the feathers of the storm and rushing forward, shattering the remaining threatening rubble.
In the midst of the light, the figure of the second victim disappeared into the stars.
"This won't change your fate!"
Igo's roar continued, and the planet's body swelled again, a second deep breath...
"Energy shields can't stop those rubble! Jump out!
Yongdu's anxious voice sounded at this moment, and the energy generators of the four escape pods worked together, opening an unstable wormhole in the darkness ahead with difficulty, and under the traction of gravity behind them, the escape pod advanced towards the spatial wormhole at a turtle speed, and behind them, the second wave of debris had already hit.
"Dead!"
The rocket raccoon covered his face and slapped the bridge in pain, and behind it, the body of the tree man had stood up at some point, he opened his arms, and the ever-spreading vines quickly wrapped around the surface of each escape pod, and his own body also expanded rapidly, completely enveloping the raccoon's escape pod.
"No! Groot, don't!"
The rocket panicked and rushed at the Treant, as if to stop him, but a hint of determination flashed in the Treant's dark eyes, and he whispered:
"Our name is Groot..."
"Bang Bang"
The sharp rock easily pierced the energy shield of the escape pod and hit Groot's vines, but every time the vine broke, there were always new vines to breed, this acquaintance full of life force, at this moment finally showed his unparalleled ability, in the meteorite storm of destruction, this tree man was like a towering tree that was constantly growing, its huge body curled up, holding four stormy ships in its arms.
Single-handedly, it pulled four escape pods back from the brink of mortality.
But the price was that the Treant himself, who was the shield, was torn apart by this wave of stone storms, his smiling face was smashed by the last moment of flying stones, and a sound reached everyone's ears.
"I... Call... Gru..."
"No! Groot!! no!"
The raccoon rushed to the porthole, tears welling up in its eyes, it had lost its best friend, its body collapsed in the escape compartment, and in this moment, it was all lost.
"Enough! Igo, you want me, don't you? Don't you want the blood in my body?"
Dressed in flying armor, Quill jumped out of the escape pod, standing among the stars, his angry voice resounding through the sky: "Come on, take it, let them go!! Enough!!"
To this, Igo's response was...
"It's late... I... All of them have to be !!."
The sudden white light blinded everyone's eyes at this moment, as if the final destruction had come.
"Boom !!"
