Hearing Lucas's words, Ronan could no longer hold back. He raised his hamr, embedded with the Power Stone, and smashed it towards Lucas.
Having just acquired the Power Stone, he wasn't even afraid of Thanos, much less this stranger in front of him.
But this stranger's thod of breaking through a warship with his body was very similar to Captain Marvel.
Bang!
In the shocked gazes of Ronan, Nebula, and Ronan's many subordinates inside the Dark Aster, Lucas, with a single hand, held up the hamr embedded with the Power Stone.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ronan roared, fully activating the energy of the Power Stone.
Purple energy extended from the Power Stone. This was an energy that seed capable of destroying all organic matter. But that purple energy, which seed capable of destroying everything, scattered and avoided Lucas as it approached him.
At this mont, Lucas's conjecture was confird. The power of the Infinity Stones had no effect on him. In fact, the power of the Infinity Stones seed to fear him.
eting Ronan's shocked gaze, Lucas's lips curled into a smile. Then, he squeezed his fingers with force, giving a fierce pinch.
Crack...
As Lucas exerted force, cracks spread across Ronan's hamr, until they covered the entire hamrhead.
Snap!
As Lucas's palms clapped together, the hamr shattered in response.
Ronan's ambition and confidence, inflated by obtaining the Power Stone, also shattered in response.
With a casual grab, Lucas held the Power Stone in his hand. At this mont, the Power Stone's energy no longer evaded him.
Purple energy climbed up Lucas's arm. Then, it spread throughout his body and it tried to tear apart the muscles all over his body.
Is this a test from the Power Stone?
It doesn't feel bad at all, like a massage.
Lucas pondered in his mind.
This was his first ti coming into contact with a true Infinity Stone, and he had no experience. However, this first ti left a very good impression on him.
He hoped the other five Infinity Stones would be as sensible as the Power Stone.
After a few seconds, the purple energy receded and returned to the Power Stone.
"Will you kill Thanos? I can take you to him."
While Ronan was still in shock, unable to recover for a long ti, Nebula was the first to react.
Lucas said, "Can I trust you? If I'm not mistaken, you are Thanos's adopted daughter."
Nebula spread her hands and said self-deprecatingly, "Do I look like his daughter? He only has one daughter, and that's Gamora, who never fails."
Lucas glanced at her and fell silent.
Nearly half of Nebula's body had been transford into machinery. He was a good man and couldn't bear to see human suffering.
"I will kill Thanos."
After a mont of silence, Lucas added, "And I will kill you too."
Nebula was startled, then smiled indifferently. "As long as you can help kill Thanos, what does it matter if you take my life?"
Lucas sighed inwardly, 'What a pitiful person.'
With a wave of his hand, a portal appeared, then quickly moved, teleporting Nebula away.
"You stay here for a while, I'll co see you later."
After teleporting Nebula away, Lucas looked at Ronan. He found that Ronan still hadn't recovered from the blow of having his hamr crushed and the Power Stone stolen.
"It's been so long, and you still haven't reacted. Don't bla for ambushing you, okay?"
As Lucas reminded him, Ronan finally reacted, and his gaze refocused. What t his eyes was a glowing white fist, gradually enlarging.
The next instant.
Bang!
Like a waterlon exploding, Ronan's head was blown apart by Lucas's punch. But his body remained standing in place, without even a tremor, as if it hadn't experienced any force transmission.
Lucas slowly descended from about half a ter off the ground.
Just now, to land a punch squarely on Ronan's head, he had to fly up. After all, Ronan was almost forty centiters taller than him.
Scanning the surrounding Kree soldiers who had encircled him but dared not advance, Lucas offered two choices.
"Ronan is dead. You have two choices."
"First, land and surrender to the Nova Empire, or turn your ships around and leave now."
"Second, insist on continuing the attack on Xandar, and I will blow up your warships."
The surrounding Kree soldiers were silent. Their authority was insufficient, they did not have the right to make a decision.
"Remaining silent and waiting to be captured is also a way. At least you'll live." Lucas shrugged.
He understood the intentions of these Kree soldiers and had no intention of making things difficult for them. They were just minor characters, re cannon fodder.
How to deal with them was a matter for the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire. He did not want to participate.
Sparks flashed, and Lucas opened a portal directly to the Nova Empire command center.
As he stepped into the portal, Lucas's voice sounded. "As long as you don't attack first, I will persuade the people of the Nova Empire not to attack you either."
Stepping out of the portal, Lucas brought Ronan's corpse to the Nova Empire command center and smiled shyly. "Everyone, you wouldn't embarrass , would you?"
Nova Pri was the first to state, "Of course not. We haven't even thanked you for helping us deal with the great threat of Ronan the Accuser."
Such a top-tier powerhouse, who commanded teleportation magic that the Nova Empire could not stop, who ca and went without a trace, and could easily kill Ronan the Accuser...
Nova Pri would certainly not offend him over so prisoner issues.
"That's good."
Lucas nodded, then looked at Loki.
"Let's go, Loki. We'll leave things here to the Nova Pri, we still need to find Thanos."
"Mr. Lucas, Mr. Loki, please stay a mont."
Seeing Lucas and Loki about to leave, Nova Pri quickly called out to them.
Turning his head, Nova Pri instructed her subordinate, "Go quickly and retrieve our Nova Empire's national gifts, to present to Mr. Lucas and Mr. Loki."
National gifts?
Seemingly noticing the confusion on Lucas's and Loki's faces, Nova Pri explained, "National gifts symbolize our Nova Empire's highest respect for our friends."
"As long as the Nova Empire does not perish, and the Xandarians are not extinct, holding a national gift, whatever the request, as long as it is reasonable, the Nova Empire will do its best to fulfill it."
The word 'reasonable' is very subtle.
And the Nova Pri also had her own little plan.
Is the friendship of such top-tier powerhouses important to the Nova Empire?
Important.
But even more important is not to offend them. If they were intent on destruction, even with the Nova Empire's vast resources, it couldn't withstand them.
And now, with two national gifts, this problem could be effectively avoided.
"Alright, then thank you, Nova Pri."
Lucas and Loki readily agreed.
They didn't lack this bit of ti and were also curious about what the Nova Empire's national gifts were.
A mont later, an attendant brought up two gift boxes. From the packaging, simplicity was intertwined with luxury. It seed to embody the Xandarians' cultural spirit of loving peace.
