<strong>Chapter 77: Guardians of the Gxy</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">In the breached hall, Benjamin and Carol looked around as they were faced with Ronan’s soldiers.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol grinned and was about to unleash hell upon them when an explosion rang out.
<span style="font-weight:400">A new hole appeared on the wall where a small ship had crashed and several figures appeared.
<span style="font-weight:400">Looking at them, Benjamin knew who they were in an instant.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter Quill, AKA, Star-Lord.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora.
<span style="font-weight:400">Drax the Destroyer.
<span style="font-weight:400">Groot.
<span style="font-weight:400">Finally, Rocket Racoon.
<span style="font-weight:400">The Guardians of the Gxy…well, not yet. But they will be soon.
<span style="font-weight:400">As they appeared from the smoke that covered the area, Peter started issuing orders.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright gang. Stick to the n. Make sure Ronan doesn’t touch the ground with the Power Stone!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, yeah. TIME TO DIE YOU LITTLE SHITS!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Rocket just rolled his eyes at Peter and immediately hopped onto Groot as he started firing toward the enemy with his machine gun.
<span style="font-weight:400">He didn’t care much about the n as long as he gets to fire at the enemy.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin chuckled and turned to Carol.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Seems like this Gxy already has some Guardians.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You mean them?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol was unamused.
<span style="font-weight:400">She could tell how these people were just a group of outcasts that somehow got together.
<span style="font-weight:400">How could people like them be guardians of anything?
<span style="font-weight:400">It was at this time that Peter and the rest also noticed them and noticed how they didn’t react much to Ronan’s soldiers being shot at.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Who’re you guys?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Beside him, Gamora’s eyes widened.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Captain Marvel!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol smiled at that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Seems like I’m pretty famous in the gxy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No kidding! You’re basically a legend to thoses that are against the Kree Empire and a major headache to the Kree Empire itself!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter looked at Gamora weirdly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And which side of that are you?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhh, neither. I mainly heard about her from Ronan when I was still working under him. He was always cursing at her from time to time.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Drax also nodded and added.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I have also heard of this Marvel Captain.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s Captain Marvel.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora corrected.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Whatever. Marvel Captain.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">“When Ronan came to our home world and destroyed it, all of us looked up to the skies, wondering if she woulde. She didn’t.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing that, Carol sighed and looked solemn.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">She was only one person after all. It was impossible to help everyone.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, it’s a different story if the EPD starts to go universal. Benjamin felt that he could achieve that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Maybe once this is all done, he can talk to Adora about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, that’s a problem forter.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol opened her mouth to exin but Drax raised his hand to cut her off.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nobody is ming you. The only thing to me is my own weakness. That’s why today, I shall get my revenge and y Ronan once and for all!”
<span style="font-weight:400">With that, Drax took out two knives and started to charge at the enemies together with Rocket and Groot.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter looked at him for a moment then turned to look at Benjamin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So who’re you?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Benjamin Freed. From Earth.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Peter Quill. From Missouri. You can call me Star-Lord.”
<span style="font-weight:400">…Which is on Earth. But Benjamin knew better than retort to this guy.
<span style="font-weight:400">As they shook hands, Peter looked at him up and down and scoffed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Look, Benjamin. You look nice and all but this is war. How about you sit nice and tight and let us pros do the work.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin looked amused and smiled teasingly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, sure sure. I’ll leave you right to it then.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Heh.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peterughed and started to shoot the enemies too.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora just sighed and rolled her eyes at him before joining them.
<span style="font-weight:400">Beside him, Carol looked at Benjamin with a raised brow.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin just chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine, go. I’ll just take a stroll while following you guys. Just treat it as sightseeing. Besides, I can focus on protecting those guys below.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As he spoke, his attention shifted to the down below.
<span style="font-weight:400">While Ronan’s ship continued to rain fire down onto the, he controlled the trees to block all the debris and shots, ensuring minimal damage to the actual itself.
<span style="font-weight:400">In fact, most of his focus was there so since Peter and the rest are already here, might as well let them handle Ronan.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not to mention Carol is also here to help.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol was surprised to hear what he said and looked down from the hole in the wall.
<span style="font-weight:400">Indeed she saw the trees moving to intercept the shots and falling debris from the battle.
<span style="font-weight:400">She smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now that I know that, I won’t hold back anymore!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. Feel free to let loose.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin knew that Carol was holding herself back a bit since she didn’t want the ship to fall to the ground and destroy more of the.
<span style="font-weight:400">But now that she knew what Benjamin was doing, there was no need to hold back!
<span style="font-weight:400">Instantly, Carol’s body started to glow bright and the next moment, she shot forward with amazing speed as she bulldozed her way through the ship, leaving nothing but destruction in her wake!
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone was silent upon seeing that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter especially had his jaw drop on the ground.
<span style="font-weight:400">What the fuck was that!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora looked at him and smirked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Told you she’s a legend.”
<span style="font-weight:400">At the side, Drax’s eyes lit up as he started to excitedly hack away at the enemy.
<span style="font-weight:400">“HAHAHA! DIE KREE SCUM! DIE!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">With a powerful ally with them, what else is there to be afraid of?
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin watched with a smile as he continued to leisurely follow them, casually dodging a bullet or two, and casually incapacitating an enemy or two that headed his way.
<span style="font-weight:400">No one noticed him much except for one person. Gamora.
<span style="font-weight:400">From the start, she had found him suspicious since he was someone who came with Captain Marvel.
<span style="font-weight:400">It didn’t look like he was herckey but he also didn’t look anything special.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’s that guy’s deal?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora thought for a moment before shaking her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">She still can’t wrap her head around it so she could only focus on the enemies in front of her as she followed along Carol’s path of destruction.
<span style="font-weight:400">Soon, it didn’t take long for Carol to bulldoze her way to the main control room where Ronan sat on a throne.
<span style="font-weight:400">Beside him was a long hammer with a purple gem embedded on its side.
<span style="font-weight:400">The Power Stone.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol’s eyes narrowed as her body charged up with power.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s over Ronan. Hand over the Infinity Stone and surrender. This is your only warning.”
<span style="font-weight:400">On the throne, Ronan sneered, still feeling quite arrogant as he held one of the Infinity Stones.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Captain Marvel. You and what army?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“This one!”
<span style="font-weight:400">It wasn’t Carol that answered but Peter as he emerged together with Gamora and the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing them, Ronan’s face was one of disdain.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Them? A human, a traitor, a brute, a tree, and a rodent. Some Guardians of the Gxy you are.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing that, Carol just smirked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Those guys don’t matter. What mattered was someone else behind them.
<span style="font-weight:400">Someone much more powerful than any army.
<span style="font-weight:400">With that person backing her, she had nothing to fear! Not even an Infinity Stone!
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter looked thoughtful when he heard Ronan.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Guardians of the Gxy huh? I like the sound of that!”
<span style="font-weight:400">With no time to lose, he fired up his jet boots and started to fire away while hovering in the air.
<span style="font-weight:400">Rocket also started shooting while Groot extended his arms to stab at the enemies like they were barbeque.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I AM GROOT!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What he said! DIEE!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora and Drax also started to fight.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for Carol, she went straight for Ronan who stood up and met her with his hammer.
<span style="font-weight:400">*BOOM*
<span style="font-weight:400">Dust lifted up as the two of them collided.
<span style="font-weight:400">Ronan still had an arrogant smirk as he already imagined Carol being meat-paste.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, he soon found himself unable to move his hammer.
<span style="font-weight:400">When the dust settled, he saw Carol’s glowing body blocking the hammer with both hands crossed in front of her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“IMPOSSIBLE!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Heh.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Carol grinned and her fists started to glow even brighter.
<span style="font-weight:400">The next moment, she shot an energy st toward Ronan!
<span style="font-weight:400">*BOOM*
<span style="font-weight:400">Another explosion rang out as Ronan shot backward.
<span style="font-weight:400">He gritted his teeth and mmed the hammer’s handle on the ground to prevent him from backing up further.
<span style="font-weight:400">As he skid backward, Carol followed up with another energy-filled punch which he met with another swing of his hammer.
<span style="font-weight:400">*BOOM*
<span style="font-weight:400">The whole ship shook as they collided repeatedly from exchanging blows.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter looked at their fight, absolutely dumbfounded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sheesh, what a pair of monsters.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Just as he said that, a stray energy st that Ronan deflected suddenly came shooting toward him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, it didn’t hit him but it was shot directly between his legs.
<span style="font-weight:400">All of a sudden, he felt his lower body shake like jellies and quickly shut up.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not paying attention to him, Carol and Ronan continued to fight.
<span style="font-weight:400">From the looks of things, both sides were evenly matched.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora was also at the side battling Neb.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Neb! Enough of this! Stop fighting! You can’t win!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Shut up! I’ll kill you!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Gamora was frustrated at this ‘little sister’ of hers who just won’t stop trying to kill her.
<span style="font-weight:400">Being both Daughters of Thanos, the two of them were repeatedly fighting because of their father.
<span style="font-weight:400">Each time they fought, Thanos would punish the loser by recing a part of their body with a machine.
<span style="font-weight:400">And based on theck of machine parts on Gamora, she had never lost.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for Neb who always lost, most of her body is now a machine. Yet even as she is injured, she still feels pain from that limb.
<span style="font-weight:400">Because of that, she hated her father more than anything.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for her hatred of Gamora…all she wanted was a sister, yet Gamora never looked at her that way.
<span style="font-weight:400">The only way for her to prove herself was to win!
<span style="font-weight:400">At least just one win!
<span style="font-weight:400">Neb gritted her teeth as she thought of that and continued to fight.
<span style="font-weight:400">Back at Carol and Ronan, Ronan was fed up with the current stalemate and roared angrily as he mmed the hammer down onto the ship with no regard for whether the ship will be destroyed or not.
<span style="font-weight:400">“ENOUGH!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">The whole ship shook even more violently as purplish energy waves emanated from the shockwave of the hammer’s blow.
<span style="font-weight:400">The next moment, cracks began to appear on the ship as it began to crumble and fall.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter realized his n and shouted out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Not good! He’s gonna crash both us and the stone down on the ground!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Since descending wasn’t working, he’s just going to crashnd instead!
<span style="font-weight:400">Either way, the moment the stone touches the, he will destroy everything!
<span style="font-weight:400">Ronanughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s toote! You can’t stop me now!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh really?”
<span style="font-weight:400">A casual voice rang out.
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone turned to see Benjamin still casually walking towards them despite the whole ship crumbling down as it descends on the ground.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled and waved his hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then…the whole ship froze in midair.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was telekically stopping the whole ship from falling along with them.
<span style="font-weight:400">Of course, he also froze Ronan in ce.
<span style="font-weight:400">Unable to move, Ronan squeezed his grip on the hammer and a purple glow emanated out of him as he broke free from Benjamin’s control.
<span style="font-weight:400">“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“EPD. You’re under arrest for your crimes against the Gxy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“LAUGHABLE!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Ronan scoffed and swung his hammer at Benjamin.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin looked at the hammer and remembered something.
<span style="font-weight:400">Right, don’t I have a hammer of my own too?
<span style="font-weight:400">It was something he got frompleting the first harem quest.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mjolnir!
<span style="font-weight:400">“You’re not the only one with a hammer.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin grinned and swung Mjolnir as well to meet with Ronan’s hammer.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then…
<span style="font-weight:400">*BOOOOOOOOOOM*!!!
