Chapter 255: Chapter: 255
"Baymax, can't we use the Hadron Cannon designed by Rocket? It seems quite powerful, and it should be enough to deal with Ronan, right?" Star-Lord suggested to Baymax.
"No," Baymax shook its head, denying Star-Lord's proposal.
"When we encountered Ronan on Knowhere, I secretly scanned his body data. Even if we were able to harm him with the Hadron Cannon, the effect would be very limited, especially now that Ronan has the power of the Infinity Stone.
The Hadron Cannon won't have any impact on him. Choosing the Dominator and Antimatter Annihilation Bombs was the result of countless calculations.
Even with this plan, the success rate displayed in the calculations is still less than 20%. In other words, we must be prepared for the possibility that even with our currently most powerful weapons, we may not be able to defeat Ronan."
Baymax solemnly addressed the group.
"Alright, I, Rocket, will risk it all today. I'll complete these two weapons. But if I accidentally send you all to the heavens prematurely, don't blame me," Rocket said with a determined expression.
"I believe in you, Rocket. Among all the creatures I've seen, you are the most agile and stable in your actions. This level of precision won't be a challenge for you," Baymax encouraged.
"Don't think that just because you said that, I'll suddenly perform miracles. I'm not that sentimental," Rocket replied with a bit of pride, though a smile on his face betrayed his thoughts.
"Now, moving on to the fourth and final step. If we manage to defeat Ronan successfully, we must retrieve the Infinity Stone immediately.
Remember to use this containment device and avoid direct contact. Otherwise, it's as good as throwing your life away, like that collector's maid."
"Baymax, I think we can contact the Nova Corps in advance and inform them about Ronan's plot and our plan.
I have the phone number of the officer who previously arrested us!" Star-Lord proposed after Baymax finished explaining its carefully calculated plan.
"This could work. If they are willing to believe us and prepare for battle in advance, the success rate of this plan will increase to 40%, which is already a high chance of success for us," Baymax said excitedly.
"I hope they will believe us..." Although Star-Lord suggested the idea, he wasn't very confident about the final outcome. After all, he had a criminal record and had just escaped from the Nova Corps prison.
On the other hand, the Nova Corps commander was known for his honesty and selflessness. Would he trust Star-Lord's warning? Star-Lord didn't know, but for the additional 20% chance of success, he had to give it a try.
"Now, we are all on the same front. Let's follow Baymax's plan and prevent Ronan from committing a massacre on countless innocent lives.
I know this is practically a suicide mission for everyone, so if anyone wants to back out, now is the time before we start our action," Star-Lord, as the captain of the Milano and the core of unity among the group, reached out his hand to the others.
Clap—! Baymax was the first to place its hand on Star-Lord's. "I am just a wandering robot in the universe. You, Captain, were the first companion I met outside of Earth, and you invited me to join your crew.
For such a dangerous task, the crew must stand together with the captain, especially since this plan was formulated by me!"
Clap—! Another hand joined, and this time it was Gamora, the only female among them. "Quill, I've spent my entire life surviving in the midst of enemies, and now I'm willing to face life and death with my friends!"
Clap—! After Gamora finished, Drax also placed his hand on top. "You are a worthy comrade, Quill. I am willing to fight side by side with you! After it's all over... I'll be reunited with my wife and daughter in death!"
Clap—! This time it was Groot, and his words were as short and distinctive as always, "I am Groot!"
Now, only Rocket Raccoon remained silent among the group, and everyone's gaze was fixed on him.
Clap—! "Fine, I don't care anymore. After all, I wasn't going to live long anyway. Happy now? A bunch of idiots standing together, holding hands in a circle."
For Rocket's sarcastic comment, everyone was used to it. After he finally placed his hand on top, they all smiled at each other.
The six lonely wanderers in the universe had finally come together for a common goal, and they were determined to work together.
...
While Star-Lord's team was making progress.
On the Dark Aster, Ronan had also discovered the secret of the Infinity Stone. As the Collector had already opened it before, Ronan easily sensed the Infinity Stone hidden within the sphere.
"Master, a communication from Lord Thanos is coming in," one of Ronan's subordinates, Korath, reported.
"Let him in!" Ronan toyed with the Infinity Stone in his hand, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
"Ronan, I hope this time you will bring me good news, instead of disappointing me again!" The communication was just connected, and Thanos' voice carried an imposing tone as he spoke to Ronan.
"I have obtained the Infinity Stone, just as I told you before," Ronan replied, showing the Infinity Stone in his hand to Thanos.
"Then bring it to me." Seeing Ronan with the Infinity Stone, Thanos' words also showed a sense of urgency.
"Yes, that was the agreement we made. I'll give you the Infinity Stone, and you will help me destroy Xandar. But now that I know the Infinity Stone contains the Infinite Power, I'm curious—what do I still need you for?" Ronan said disdainfully.
"You better think twice, boy!" Thanos shouted angrily, clearly displeased with Ronan unilaterally tearing up their agreement.
"Master, you can't do this! Lord Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe!" Upon hearing the threat in Thanos' words, Korath, one of Ronan's henchmen, couldn't help but tremble in fear, stepping forward to persuade Ronan.
"No longer. With the Infinity Stone in my hand, I will become an even more powerful being than Thanos.
I will represent the Kree and pass judgment on all the crimes of Xandar, eradicating it entirely! And you, Thanos! How dare you call me 'boy'! I'll come for you—" Ronan said and then directly cut off the communication.
"After destroying Xandar, will you kill my father?" Nebula, who had been watching the whole thing, asked eagerly.
"What, do you want to defy me?" Ronan said, acknowledging that he would indeed go after Thanos.
Hearing Ronan's response, Nebula showed no signs of panic; instead, she became more excited and delighted. "If you can really do it, I'll destroy a thousand planets for you as a reward!"
"I will do it. With the Infinity Stone in my possession, no one can be my opponent!" Ronan said confidently, then he opened the Infinity Stone and took it out.
"Ah—!"
The moment he touched the Infinity Stone, it activated instantly, and a powerful tidal wave of energy erupted, pushing Korath and Nebula several meters back.
"Master, take this!" Seeing the situation, Korath knew that although his master Ronan was very powerful, he still couldn't control the Infinity Stone with his own power.
So he quickly threw Ronan's weapon, the war hammer, to him, allowing Ronan to use the weapon to suppress and control the power of the Infinity Stone.
Buzz—! As he received the war hammer, Ronan immediately embedded the Infinity Stone into the side of the hammerhead, and the surging tidal wave of energy subsided.
Taking a deep breath and calming the panic brought on by the Infinity Stone, Ronan gave the order to Korath, "Spread the word, head full speed towards the target, Xandar. Today is the day they face judgment!"
"Yes, my master!"
