Looking up at the distant starry sky, many people will be in awe, only to feel that they are so small in the universe that they are not as small as a grain of sand. But there are also many people who have the idea of conquering this starry sky, otherwise no one would say that the goal of the future is the sea of stars.

It's just that the technology of the earth seems to be a little crooked, and everyone is busy fighting with the same kind on the ground, developing many weapons with extremely high killing efficiency, but the technology of interstellar navigation has been in a bottleneck state.

Tonight, under the stars, is the brightly lit New York City.

The sound of screeching sirens and the sound of glass breaking came from the past, and many people would have called the police or hid for fear of being affected.

But now it was different, when the alarm sounded, countless people in the neighborhood had already leaned out of the window to see where the accident had happened, and at the same time had already taken out their mobile phones, intending to film everything.

It was a jewelry store thief, and a man wrapped in black was sliding down the exterior wall from the fifth floor on a weirdly shaped skateboard.

The skateboard looks like the Green Goblin skateboard made by Osben, but the shape is a bit rough, like a piece of huge metal parts put together, and it can't fly, but can only glide on the surface of objects with a similar effect of magnetic levitation.

Obviously, it's a knockoff, but it's enough to allow him to glide over New York's skyscrapers nimbly.

When the police encounter this kind of criminal, they will definitely not be able to catch up, their police car does not have its own function of climbing the wall, even with the help of a helicopter, it is impossible to catch this criminal.

What's more, now everyone is too lazy to call the police, and when they encounter danger, the first thing people call is the phone number of the Hero Association.

The man in black on the skateboard had just run a few hundred meters when he saw a small black flying machine appear in the night sky, and a cluster of lights shone on the man in black, exposing him to everyone.

"Listen, we are registered heroes of the Hero Guild. Your actions have endangered public safety, give up resistance and be arrested, or we will use violence. ”

The loudspeaker on the aircraft began to play the slogan as usual, in exchange for a rocket attack from the man in black.

The man had a rocket launcher-like device strapped to his arm, so light that it was hard to spot without even noticing. It wasn't until he fired rockets at the Hero Guild's aircraft that everyone found out.

With a long tail flame, this rocket shot straight at the aircraft, and if it was concentrated, it would definitely be able to blow this aircraft out of a big hole.

But at this time, the cabin of the aircraft opened, and a vigorous figure jumped out of it.

The man turned into an illusory shadow, brushed past the rocket, and landed firmly on the ground.

The rocket continued to fly a few meters, and when it was still some distance away from the aircraft, it suddenly split into two parts, as if it had been cut through it by a sharp laser cutter, and then exploded violently in mid-air.

The aircraft was concussed and jolted a few times, but did not take any damage, and continued to chase the skateboarding criminal.

As for the person who jumped from the aircraft to the ground just now, he also quickly ran wildly and chased after the man.

The onlookers cheered excitedly, and some even shouted this person's name - Li Bai!

"It's the second-ranked hero Sword Immortal Li Bai of the A-rank!"

"It's so handsome, I only saw a light from that sword just now!"

"This is the strength of an A-rank hero, it's too strong!"

……

Rorschach came up with this Hero Association, and naturally it was not really to reduce the pressure on the U.S. government. Collect the transcendents and make them identify with their own heroes and the existence of the Hero Guild, thus forming a cohesive force.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has sent many elite agents to join the Hero Association, and even occupies more than half of the places in the top ranking. However, no matter how rigorously trained and capable these agents are, how can they be compared to the truly transcendental?

As a result, as time went on, most of the superpowers with great strength began to climb in the rankings, pushing the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to the bottom of the rankings.

As a loyal subordinate of Rorschach, Li Bai and with the full support of Tinder Source Company, it is only natural that he will rise to the second place in the A-level. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't plan to make S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reaction too sensitive, it wouldn't be difficult for Li Bai to reach the S rank.

This copycat version of the skateboard is very fast, and can reach a speed of two or three hundred kilometers per hour on a straight road, but it can't get rid of Li Bai, who is closely tracking behind him, and is even constantly shortening the distance.

"Damn! Go to hell! ”

This guy who stepped on the skateboard knew that he couldn't escape, so he was frantically aimed at Li Bai on the road and continued to press the rocket launcher, and three rockets flew out, as if he wanted to destroy the road with people.

Although it was night, there were quite a few vehicles on the road, and if the rocket exploded, I am afraid that it would cause very serious casualties.

However, when the rockets came in front of Li Bai, they saw a few flashes of silver light, and they saw that the three rockets suddenly turned in one direction and flew straight towards the sky.

The rockets flew hundreds of meters into the air, then ran out of fuel and exploded into a cloud of fireworks. It looked a little gorgeous, but there were no casualties, not even the glass of the nearby building was shattered.

This time it was the criminal's turn to panic, the four rockets were already all in stock, and now he only had a pistol left to protect himself.

The gunshot rang out, and the hot metal bullets were similar to those previous rockets, and they were hit by the flickering silver light as soon as they flew in front of Li Bai.

There was a chaotic sound, and all the bullets were cut in half and fell to the ground of the road, not even hurting the car glass next to it.

However, these bullets also slowed down Li Bai's running speed slightly, allowing the skateboard to pull a short distance.

The two chased and fled, and after a while, they came to the bank of the river, which seemed to be a dead end, but the skateboarder said proudly: "Haha, I see how you still chase!" ”

It turned out that this skateboard could still slide at low altitude on the water, but Li Bai, who was chasing behind him, did not have the ability to tread water without a trace.

At this critical moment, the hatch on the craft opened again, and a glowing staff poked out of it.

"Tidal power, tornado!"

A huge waterspout suddenly appeared on the bank of the river, swept the criminal into it with a skateboard, and then swept him back to shore with a stroke.

The force of the waves was so strong that even the railings and street lamps on the shore fell in large pieces. As for the guy who stepped on the skateboard, he was already hit on the ground by the waves and lost consciousness directly.

"Yay! It worked! The little girl with the staff on the aircraft jumped up excitedly, but accidentally stepped on the air and fell down.

The flying altitude of the aircraft is as high as hundreds of meters, and when it falls, ordinary people will definitely become a blur of flesh and blood. Li Bai sighed, his body turned into a bolt of lightning, and he jumped directly into the air, catching the little girl steadily.

The little girl who was down-to-earth again said to Li Bai very apologetically: "I'm sorry, teacher. ”

Li Bai said coldly: "Get carried away, don't listen to orders and use magic, and destroy the hundred-foot position of this embankment, you will only deduct points for this mission." ”

The little girl's name is Nicole, and she is one of the runaway six who were fooled by little Rhona before. Now they have all joined the Hero Association and become registered heroes, but they are all hovering at the C level. The main reason is that every mission will cause damage to the city due to various negligence, so that the points have not been able to rise.

And under Luo Na's request, Li Bai could only accept these half-grown teenagers as apprentices, but in fact, it looked more like being a nanny.

You must know that the purpose of the Hero Association from the beginning is to protect the safety of people's lives and property, which is the first principle, and it is more priority than arresting criminals.

"But I saw him running into the sea......"

As soon as Nicole was halfway through speaking, she saw Li Bai snap her fingers, and the copycat version of the Green Goblin skateboard exploded slightly, and then a puff of green smoke came out. It was a miniature electromagnetic bomb that fell into the skateboard, and it is unknown when it was thrown on top of the skateboard.

"I've already set a trap to let him fall into the sea, so that the damage can be minimized." Li Bai's tone was still stern.

"I'm sorry, teacher, but I was wrong." Nicole lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

He is really still too tender, everything is in Li Bai's control.

"Go back and practice for three more days. When the teacher is not there, you can't take on tasks above the ghost level. Li Bai commanded.

"Teacher, do you have something to leave?" Nicole asked in surprise.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and there is an important task for the division, and I will leave for a while with a few S-class heroes. A few of you take care of yourselves. Li Bai explained.

"Important? And send out S-class heroes, is it dragon-level? Nicole asked, shocked.

Nowadays, there are few S-class heroes in the Hero Association, but all of them are Xuanhe's big shots, regardless of their status or personal strength, they are all among the top on the earth. And they actually want to join forces to go on a mission together, which shows how terrifying the difficulty of this task is.

The Association of Heroes now divides the danger level into four types:

wolves, with risk factors; Tigers, a crisis that can cause casualties; ghosts, which can lead to the paralysis or even destruction of a town; Dragons, which can lead to the destruction of several towns.

I heard that there is a last kind of crisis that may lead to the destruction of all human beings, and it is called god-level. But this is just a rumor, and it has not been officially recognized by the Hero Association.

In fact, since the establishment of the Hero Association, the highest of the various tasks that have been announced is only the ghost level, and there is only one. Most of the rest are wolf-level missions like robberies, school shootings, and the like.

And it has to be said that the Hero Association has played a very effective role in deterring school shootings. Portals are set up in various colleges and universities, so that when danger occurs, members of the Hero Association can rush to the scene as soon as possible.

Nicole also managed to move from D to C by preventing two school shootings and saving the lives of dozens of students. Saving people is always several times more than killing people, this is the principle of the Hero Association, and it is also the reason why these heroes can be praised by the people.

They are not like the so-called vigilantes before, who are stupid enough to know that they are scaring the bad guys, and killing a robber can directly demolish someone's house, and the loss is more serious than standing by and watching.

Such so-called vigilantes are despised by many people. They only care about being heroes and doing what they think is right, but they don't know how much trouble they will cause to others.

The Hero Association is different, every mission is tracked throughout the process, and how much damage has been caused will be clearly announced with the amount and deductions. The details of each hero's mission will be published on the Hero Association's website for everyone to oversee.

Catching the bad guys makes people angry, and this kind of hero will either be downgraded or directly removed.

As a result, high-level heroes are scarce, and almost every move they make headlines. In this case, it is necessary for S-class heroes and A-class heroes to team up to complete the mission, which shows how important it is.

Li Bai didn't say much about this task, and notified the people of the Hero Association to clean up the mess, and took Nicole back.

After a while, a silver heavy truck came to this messy embankment. The robber had already been stripped of his equipment and sent to the police station, leaving only the railings and lampposts that had been broken by the waves.

When the truck was opened, more than a dozen spider robots ran out of it, and these thigh-high intelligent machines immediately cut and carried the broken parts, and then replaced them with similar materials, and even the fallen lampposts were pulled up and re-welded.

However, in half an hour, the damaged position was completely new, and there was nothing wrong with it except for the color difference in the materials that were patched.

The next day, the ins and outs of the events and even the live video were published on the website, allowing people around the world to view them at will. Naturally, it received a lot of praise. Especially Li Bai's sharp swordsmanship, it is like watching a special effects blockbuster, and even Nicole, who was deducted points and demoted because of mistakes, has many more fans.

In recent years, everyone has a lot of tolerance for young people who make mistakes, especially Nicole is still on the side of justice, but she is still a little inexperienced.

Such a high-speed aftermath ability is also where the Hero Association has always been praised by all, compared to the post-disaster reconstruction carried out by the government, and even the bidding will be held for a few years, and the bidding can be delayed for ten years before the reconstruction begins.

This kind of efficiency is simply aimed at the face of the US government. However, the White House can't have any opinions, because the Hero Association doesn't spend a penny on them at all, they all contribute their own money and efforts, and they operate completely independently.

Of course, there may also be some donations from others to subsidize the operation of the Hero Association, but in fact, everyone knows that the biggest source of wealth for this organization comes from the Forgiveness Alliance and the Tinder Source Company, which is a taboo that even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't touch.

This subtle change has led to a strange phenomenon, that is, citizens have begun to trust the police and the U.S. government less, and have begun to habitually rely on the Hero Association.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for Huaxia to exist, and it will be strangled to death in the bud. But in this country controlled by capital, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Rorschach founded the Heroes Guild only to take the power of the transcendent into his own hands, and he did not think of directly shaking the foundation of the country's rule. If Rorschach covets the position in the White House, he may not be able to run for president, but he has a lot of confidence in supporting a puppet.

It's just that Rorschach doesn't have the heart to play any kind of conspiracy with this group of earthlings now, after all the tinder source bombs in the Unknown Land were detonated, it took three weeks to wait for these metal magma to cool down and turn a whole corpse into metal.

Then, to his sorrow, Rorschach discovered that to activate the remains of this cosmic creature, billions of spark source energy would be needed. Even if he works here without sleep, it will take at least a month.

In this way, even if they have Yongdu to help slow down the progress of Ronan's fleet, I am afraid it will be a little too late. That's why Rorschach had to come back and ask a friend for help.

The Hero Association dispatched all S-class and A-rank heroes this time, just to unite and delay enough time for Rorschach, and at the same time, enough time for the earth.

Ronan didn't line up for Rorschach's Dyson ball, his ultimate goal was Earth. On the one hand, it is to teach this low-level civilization a lesson, in order to avenge the destruction of the space station on Kree; On the other hand, it is also to help Thanos obtain the Cosmic Rubik's Cube left on Earth, so that Thanos can help him destroy Cinderstar.

In the vast starry sky of the universe, human beings are too small, even the S-class hero with extraordinary abilities in the Hero Association. They couldn't possibly go head-to-head with the combined fleet of Krees and Zetarians, and if they delayed enough time, they could prepare Rorschatea.

To this end, Rorschach had Yondu send several Marauder ships to Earth, take Tony and them aboard, and then ambush Ronan in his path. Fortunately, Ronan's goal is clear, otherwise it would be impossible to ambush a fleet in the vast universe, even if it is ten times larger.

Yongdu was on his mothership for the sake of money, and received this group of earthlings from "lower civilizations", and emphasized: "They have already run half the way, and I have arranged a lot of space mines on the channel, which can delay their space jump speed, but if you want to delay it for a month, it is absolutely impossible." ”

"So that's why we're here, you just have to do my bidding." Tony said unceremoniously.

"What? You're asking me to listen to the orders of you, the hillbilly who left the solar system for the first time? Hahahaha! Yongdu laughed unceremoniously as well, causing his men to laugh along.

"I thought that since the Internet appeared on the earth, no one would use more places to pretend to be forced, but I didn't expect you aliens to use this reason to sneer." Tony shook his head and said.

"Stupid human, if it weren't for the gratuity, you would have turned into a corpse banished to the outer universe." Yongdu said as he lifted his coat to reveal the golden arrow.

"Both of you, calm down, we're going to solve the problem now, not kill each other first." Star-Lord hurriedly persuaded him.

"I'd love to know what this earthling, hillbilly, can do." Yongdu said disdainfully.

As a cosmic pirate, Yongdu is proficient in all the techniques of ambushing and fighting black guns in the universe, but he can't think of any way to delay Ronan's fleet for a month.

Of course, if it is just head-on, it may be able to inflict a lot of losses on Ronan, but most of the marauders under Yongdu's command will suffer heavy casualties, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Then you listen carefully when I say it, after all, I charge a million dollars for a class at MIT on Earth. I have already studied your space jumping technology, which is actually to use the unstable space nodes that exist in the universe itself to travel through time and space, and reach the target through a mature channel that has been confirmed by a large number of calculations.

"And the space treacherous mine you threw out is actually just to prolong their jump time, my plan is to make them run the wrong way by modifying and misleading the spatial calculation method of this fleet!" Tony said categorically.

"Ronan's Dark Star is one of the most terrifying space warships in this universe, and there is no virus that can remotely hack into their systems and mislead their course." Yongdu retorted.

"Of course we can't invade remotely, but we can go directly into the interior of the ship and plant the virus." Tony sneered.

"Are you crazy?! To infiltrate the Dark Star, are you looking for death? If you don't even find where their toilet is, you'll be blown to pieces by the defenses inside. Yongdu felt like he was meeting an idiot, talking endless dreams, and wasting his time.

Hearing this, everyone from Earth laughed, and soon, a dark-skinned Cree appeared in front of Yongdu.

"Kras the Pursuer!" Yondu, a former Kree slave, recognized this at a glance.

"That was my name in the past, and now that I've come to my senses, please call me Colas the Penitent." Colas said to Yongdu rather humbly.

At this time, Tony said, "The strongest fortresses are breached from the inside." ”
