Dense artillery fire fell on the steppe, and the firelight, gunsmoke, and flames were intertwined with each other.

In the sky, Quill connected the dots on the tactical board on his wrist to stop the ship from attacking, and if he continued to fight, even they could not see where the target was.

"Attention, we're going to land, go according to plan."

"Damn, where did you run Rocket!"

"No way, Groot, you take the place of Rocket."

"Little mantis, you hide, I'll call you when you need it."

"Action!"

That's when it happened.

They saw the flames and smoke of the explosion below, suddenly soaked in a deep red light.

After the light passed, the flames and smoke all turned into a kind of red beetle, and they rushed towards Quill in swarms.

This is a 'surprise' that Azu has prepared specifically for Star-Lord by distorting reality with the 'Reality Stone'.

"Leave me alone, I'll be back in a while, you can contain him!"

Quill shouted, desperately flying off into the distance, luring the red beetles away.

These beetles all spewed flames, and from a distance, they looked like a river of fire after fire.

At the front of the river is Star-Lord, who crates up the horsepower of his craft to the maximum in an attempt to get out of the 'river' so as not to drown in the river of fire.

In mid-air, Star-Lord saw the city being built in the distance and suddenly had an idea.

He turned around and flew towards the city under construction, and behind him, the dense fire beetles chased after him, so the river of flames in mid-air turned around and chased Star-Lord into the city.

As soon as Quill entered the city, he flew low, and he slipped through the window of a house.

Looking back, the swarm chased after them, but only some of the beetles made it through the window, and more crashed into the wall.

The insects were like bombs, exploding as soon as they hit the wall, and suddenly, the dense explosion caused the half-built house to groan and collapse.

The remaining beetles scrambled to catch up with the 'troops' in front.

Seeing this, Quill laughed: "It's the same as I thought!" ”

He then burrowed into the building, using the limited space to attract beetles to explode, and from mid-air, a series of explosions were taking place in the city for the 'new humans'.

When Quill took the swarm around the city a few times, he shot the rest down with two elemental guns.

After getting rid of the bugs, Star-Lord returned to the prairie and saw his team fighting the Conqueror from afar.

Nebula's arm transforms into a beam gun, using the aircraft to make a low-altitude tour of the sky, moving quickly while pouring fire on the Conqueror.

It's such an attack that doesn't seem to do much to the 'Conqueror', making the Nebula look like an annoying fly.

However, under the cover of the nebula, Drax rushed towards the 'Conqueror' at a rapid pace.

Drax doesn't look reliable at all, but when it counts, his toughness often makes a huge contribution to the team.

At this point, Drax swung his twin blades and slashed at the Conqueror's back as he passed by.

Unfortunately, such an attack didn't seem to be of much use to the 'Conqueror', and Drax didn't even cut his mantle.

Instead, they were caught by the 'conquerors' and thrown aside.

Drax rolled over and after a few bites of weed-mixed dirt before stopping.

Quill opened his mask and said, "Hold on, I'm coming." ”

He quickly joins the fray, firing frequently with two elemental guns.

The beams of light flew on the scene, and the light was brilliant and brilliant.

Azu covered the 'Absolute Realm' on the surface of his body, watching the figure of the Guardians of the Galaxy shuttle in front of his eyes.

He wanted to see what the comedians were trying to do.

Drax, who was thrown to the ground, got up, he was rough and thick-skinned, and although he didn't have a superhuman physique like Adam and Ikaris, such a blow was not painful for him.

He spat out blades of grass and dirt in his mouth.

Roar: "For the glory of the warriors!" ”

Drax rushed back and stabbed Azu in the chest.

Azu dodged sideways, raised his foot and kicked Drax in the chest, erupting in a circle of qi visible to the naked eye.

Drax screamed and flew out, flying like a cannonball for a kilometer before hitting the ground.

He kept bouncing up and falling on the ground, repeating this several times before stopping, but lost consciousness for a moment.

"Be careful."

"Remember what we were meant to be."

"Not to defeat the conquerors."

"Don't throw your life here."

Quill reminded the team and, under the cover of Nebula, he loaded a bomb behind Azu as he passed by.

Star-Lord quickly distanced himself before activating the bomb.

Rumble!

The flames of the explosion drowned Azu at once.

"Come on, Groot, here's your chance."

Quill shouted.

In the flames, Azu walked out unscathed.

At this moment, vines wrapped around Azu's 'Infinity Gauntlet' arm, and Azu looked back to see the treeman not far away with their feet extending out of their rhizomes and digging into the ground, firmly holding himself in place.

At this time, Nebula fell from the sky and smashed a punch into Azu's face.

After she landed, she quickly turned around and pointed her arm that turned into a beam gun at Azu, firing the beam as the aircraft spewed flames, distancing her and Azu.

Harassed by the nebula, Quill approaches Azu again and launches a magnetic device.

The device landed on the ground and immediately began to work, sending out a powerful magnetic current that pulled Azu's right hand aside.

Meanwhile.

Regaining consciousness, Drax returned to the battlefield.

Seeing him, Quill exclaimed excitedly, "Hurry, it's a little close." ”

Drax yelled and threw himself to the ground, hugging Azu's left leg properly, using a locking technique that firmly locked Azu's calf, making it difficult for Azu to move.

Azu looked at this scene and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's going on with this inexplicable familiarity?" ”

Quill and Nebula continue to attack Azu in mid-air.

Meantime.

The mantis girl sprang out of her hiding spot.

Because now, it's the perfect time for her to play.

But as soon as she appeared, Azu was aware.

"I see."

"You're trying to rob me of the Infinity Gauntlet."

Seeing the appearance of the mantis girl, Azu probably guessed the purpose of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

This scene is very similar to what happened to Thanos on Titan in the movie.

In the movie, it was also Star-Lord who came up with this plan.

And almost succeeded, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't control his temper and punched Thanos.

Right now.

Quill also uses the Mantis Girl as a finale in order to put herself to sleep so that he can take the Infinity Gauntlet.

"It's a pity that I'm not Thanos."

Azu smiled slightly, and his body suddenly became textureless, like a ghost.

This made the praying mantis woman who pounced on her fall miss out and passed through Azu's figure.

Azu used the ability of the 'Spiritual Realm' to transform himself into a pure spiritual body.

Taking advantage of this state, he got rid of the joint control of Gerdet and others.

After recovering the entity, Azu lifted the Infinity Gauntlet, and the Reality Primordial Stone shone brightly.

"No!" As soon as Quill screamed, his body immediately scattered into countless particles and fell from mid-air.

A crimson glow swept over the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and when the light hit, their body structure changed.

Mantis Girl turned into a puddle of liquid, Drax became a slice, Grud the Treant became a stone man, and Nebula was strewn with parts scattered all over his body.

They weren't dead, but they couldn't move, and they could only watch as Azu walked towards them.

"You've got a good plan."

"But it's a pity that it fell short."

"Well, was there a moment just now when you thought you had succeeded?"

"Thank me, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a chance to perform."

Azu looked at the comedians: "Hey, where did that raccoon go?" ”

Beams of light whizzed back and forth.

Guards are constantly being hit by beams and falling to the ground.

The rocket screamed and rushed forward, his dexterity and precision in his marksmanship.

Soon, the guards in front of him fell.

Rocket finds an access card from one of the guards and slices it across the card slot of the automatic door in front of it.

The light of the automatic door turned from red to green, clicked, and turned on.

The door slowly opened, allowing a figure to gradually emerge in front of him.

It was a man with his back to him, his hands behind his back, and a long purple robe.

'Supreme Evolution'!

"It's my proudest product."

"After all these years, you are not only alive, but you are also coming to me again."

'Supreme Evolution' turned around, his gaze fell on the rocket, and smiled, "P13, God knows how much I miss it. Your brain. ”

"In the days you left, I was like falling in love, and I missed you all the time."

"I've always fantasized about taking your brain myself and studying it so I can figure out how I made you into a genius in the first place."

"Now that you're back, we can 'relive old dreams,' you say?"

Rocket looked up at the man and said.

"You should know why I'm back."

"You killed all my friends."

"At the end of the day, they don't even know what the sky looks like."

"It's so unfair to them."

'Supreme Evolution' laughed, "You're just a bunch of guinea pigs in a cage, and I don't care if you know what the sky looks like. ”

"I just need you to provide me with the experimental data."

"Come on, P13, give me your brain."

Rocket raised his rifle: "I'm not called P13, I have a name, I'm called Rocket, I'll soar into the sky!" ”

He shouted and fired at the 'Supreme Evolution', and one after another beams broke through the air, but was stopped by the 'Supreme Evolution' with a mental force field.

"You know what?"

"You're not the only one evolving."

"Me too."

"I'm stronger than I was when I started."

As he spoke, Supreme Evolution reached out and pinched it in the direction of the rocket.

The rocket immediately lost his breath, and he felt as if his neck was being choked by an invisible one, and he couldn't breathe air.

'Supreme Evolution' raised his hand.

The rocket flew out and stuck to the wall.

On the grassland, Quill and the others had returned to normal, and they stood up one by one.

But there was something wrong with their eyes, their eyes were pitch black, as if they were shrouded in something.

On the Infinity Gauntlet, the Soul Primordial Stone is shining brightly.

Azu has brainwashed them with the Psychic Primordial Stone, turning them into his most loyal warriors, similar to Loki's use of the Scepter to control Hawkeye.

But Azu, who has the 'Infinity Gauntlet', has a more thorough control over Quill and the others.

"Follow me."

Azu looked at these comedians with satisfaction, although their combat effectiveness was very stretched, however, these people had an intersection with the Avengers, and maybe they would be useful in the future.

Flying into the air, Azu looked in the direction of Ikares and Adam.

The two were evenly matched, barely equal in strength, but it was clear that Icaris had far more combat experience than Adam.

After all, one has lived for seven thousand years, and the other has just been born, and in terms of experience, the gap between the two is too great.

Adam's attacks are basically straightforward, with no skill to speak of, and he doesn't know any tactics.

At first, he was on par with Ikaris, but now he has been overpowered by the experienced warrior of the Eternals.

At this time.

Adam was thrown by Icaris, and his whole body was smashed into the ground like an upside-down onion.

Icaris's eyes lit up, and two golden cosmic rays were about to burst out, when suddenly the hair on the back of his head was ripped up, and his eyes couldn't help but look up, and suddenly two beams of light shot into the air.

Azu's eyes lit up when he caught Icalis from behind, but what came out of his eyes was not a 'thermonuclear ray', but a 'transformation ray'!

Two blue beams of light fell on Ikaris, and Icalis instinctively sensed danger, and with a loud roar, he broke free of Azu and pulled away.

He desperately wanted to get away from Azu, but it was too late, the 'Transformation Ray' was spreading, and the power from the source of fire caused his body to change.

As Icaris was flying in mid-air, a burst of blue light surged rapidly, instantly spreading across his face.

The depths of his pupils immediately changed, and the depths of his pupils lit up with a few rays of electronic light.

Hydra Star.

The sky was covered with black clouds, lightning and thunder.

In a valley, there were heads the size of a mountain, and they looked like lizards, but they all had huge horns.

They are dragons and gods of the planet.

On the head of one of the golden dragons, a pale-skinned man in a white robe sat on it, stepping on one of the dragon's eyes.

He carried a black, simple-shaped sword in his hand.

The sword exuded a strong aura of death, and when the tip of the sword gently scraped over those golden dragon scales, the dragon scales quickly faded their color and turned into a desolate gray-white.

"So, where have you heard that name?"

In front of several huge dragon heads, there are pitch-black monsters all over the place, these monsters seem to be born of shadows, their bodies have no texture and are slightly transparent.

Just in front of these monsters, several men lay on the ground in fear, and they looked up at the man on the head of the golden dragon and said nervously.

"In the 'Void', there are several guys who claim that a new god has been born and will rule the entire galaxy."

"That god is called 'The Conqueror'!" (End of chapter)
