[1500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 2000PS!]
"These things don't belong to you."
"Hand them over!" Ronan demanded.
However, his answer came in the form of a gaze from Syd, one that regarded him as if he were a fool.
Noticing the mockery in Syd's eyes, Ronan became furious, a cold smile forming on his lips. "You want to die? I'll grant you that wish!"
The next second, he gave the order. "Destroy him. Fire!"
Witnessing this, Star-Lord and the others were filled with dread.
"We're doomed…" Rocket muttered, covering his face in despair.
After this mysterious man in white was killed, they knew they would be next.
Suddenly, the weapons on the hovering spacecraft began to glow.
Then, pale green energy bullets started shooting out from the weapons.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a rainstorm, the barrage of energy blasts was aimed straight at the figure floating in midair.
Just as Star-Lord and the others were sinking into despair, the barrage of energy bullets, which they believed to be unstoppable, was effortlessly blocked!
The four stones continued orbiting the mysterious man in white, but surprisingly, he wasn't even using the Infinity Stones. He merely lifted his right hand lightly.
A red light radiated.
A layer of red energy formed a barrier around him, shielding him from the barrage.
The pale green energy bullets relentlessly slammed into the red barrier, but no matter how intense the barrage became, the shield remained unshaken, showing no signs of cracking or breaking.
The figure remained floating, surrounded by the four Infinity Stones, as though nothing was happening at all.
"Quill… Am I hallucinating?" Rocket muttered.
"No, I don't think so. What you're seeing is real because I'm seeing it too…" Star-Lord replied, stunned.
"Yes, I see it as well," Gamora added.
Watching the scene unfold, they were all left in disbelief.
What kind of power is this?
Someone could withstand the bombardment of hundreds of spacecraft with just their own strength?
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would've thought anyone telling this story was insane.
Star-Lord hesitated, "Is he using the power of the Infinity Stones?"
The scene was so unbelievable that he couldn't help but entertain this thought.
Rocket and the others shared the same suspicion.
Maybe this was the power of the Infinity Stones?
That would at least explain it.
But as they were considering this, the experienced Collector, Tivan, shook his head and explained, "No, that's not the power of the stones—it's his own power."
"When the stones release energy, they emit a distinct glow."
"Each stone also has a unique nature. This red energy shield doesn't match the characteristics of any of the four stones…"
"The only one that might be similar is the Reality Stone, but that stone bends and temporarily alters reality. This red shield doesn't fit its traits…"
And he hadn't even touched the Infinity Stones…
Listening to the Collector's explanation, Star-Lord and the others had to come to terms with the shocking reality—the red energy shield wasn't from the stones but from the man's own abilities.
But that was the most shocking part!
"You're telling me this shield was created by a person?" Star-Lord pointed at the red energy barrier, which stood firm under the barrage of pale green energy bullets, feeling as if his understanding of the world had been shattered.
Rocket had similar thoughts, questioning if they even lived in the same reality as this man, given how absurd everything was.
While they were still reeling from shock, the pilots in the spacecraft and even Ronan himself stood frozen in disbelief.
Back at Nova Corps headquarters, Nova Prime and her team were equally dumbfounded.
On the battlefield.
"How are you doing this?" Ronan shouted in disbelief.
Syd glanced at him, uninterested in responding, and instead felt a slight annoyance.
The constant barrage of energy blasts was becoming bothersome, as maintaining the shield required continuous consumption of light energy.
In the next moment, he decided to retaliate.
"I say… let there be light."
The voice, imbued with divine power and rhythmic resonance, echoed across the desolate landscape.
What's happening?
Everyone—Ronan, Nova Prime, Star-Lord, and the others—was confused.
Then, the next second, they understood.
The dimly lit wasteland, shrouded in darkness due to the lack of a nearby sun, suddenly bathed in light.
Golden beams of sunlight illuminated the area!
The bright rays transformed the previously gloomy, eerie land into something radiant and beautiful.
For a moment, everyone was dazed, as if they had been transported to a sunny morning on a world basking in sunlight.
"What have you done?" Ronan asked, his voice trembling with shock.
He wasn't alone. Everyone was staring at the white-cloaked figure in disbelief, their hearts filled with awe.
Looking at the impossible sight before him, Star-Lord's emotions swirled, and he muttered, "Is this guy a god?"
Rocket murmured, "The crazy things I've seen today just keep piling up…"
"This…" Gamora extended her hand, feeling the warmth of the sunlight.
It was warm and pleasant.
"This is real sunlight!" she exclaimed in shock.
Back at Nova Corps headquarters.
Nova Prime and her team watched in stunned silence.
As they stood in awe of the unprecedented display, the unimaginable occurred.
Syd looked up at the sunlight and, with a mere thought, caused the light bathing the entire wasteland to coalesce into a blinding beam.
In an instant, the once-illuminated wasteland plunged back into darkness.
Everyone watched in stunned silence as the radiant beam shot skyward, so bright that even though it hurt their eyes, they couldn't look away.
What was he going to do?
The next moment, they saw it.
The beam of light sliced through the sky at unimaginable speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the spacecraft were cut apart by the beam, crashing and exploding.
In that instant, the sky was filled with bursts of fiery red, like fireworks.
Watching the spacecraft get obliterated by the beam and then seeing the white-cloaked figure rise above them, now looking down at them from above…
Soon, all the spacecraft had been destroyed, and the terrifying beam faded away, as sunlight once again gently returned.
As they gazed at the figure floating high above, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the four Infinity Stones, they almost believed they were witnessing a god.
"You…" Ronan muttered in disbelief, staring at the sight before him.

All destroyed?
Because of one person?
"Who exactly are you!"
At this moment, Ronan's eyes were filled with both rage and fear. His face twisted in disbelief, unwilling to accept the scene before him.
Syd glanced at him briefly, uninterested in dragging things out further. He stretched out his hand and grasped the Power Stone.
Instantly, a wave of destructive energy surged into his body, the purple glow enveloping him completely.
However, in no time, this energy, transmitted from the Power Stone, was suppressed by his divine body and the energy within him.
In the blink of an eye, his body returned to normal.
Ronan stood there, utterly stunned as he witnessed this.
This force, which could easily obliterate life, was terrifying beyond belief—yet this man was able to endure it so easily?
What kind of body does he have?
"You're no mere mortal. Who are you!" Ronan shouted in disbelief.
He knew that even if he could withstand this power, it would never be this effortless.
In fact, he'd need to embed the stone into a weapon just to wield its power safely.
But this man...
Ronan knew what this meant.
This man's body was monstrously strong!
It was possible that he could even control all four of the Infinity Stones surrounding him.
At that moment, Ronan's confidence in his own strength shattered.
How could there be such a vast difference between people?
Ronan's face twisted further in frustration, jealousy, and bitterness.
But the next moment, he had no time to think any further.
Hovering in the air, Syd glanced down at Ronan, feeling the immense power coursing through him. His right hand clenched the Power Stone, and he unleashed its energy.
Boom!
Under everyone's gaze, a massive purple energy wave shot toward Ronan.
Ronan tried to dodge, but after only a few steps, the wave engulfed him.
"No!" Ronan screamed.
The purple energy enveloped him entirely, and despite his strong body, he could not withstand it for long. The moment he made contact with the destructive force, his body began to disintegrate.
Perhaps…
I shouldn't have come here…
In his final moments, Ronan's thoughts were filled with despair and regret.
The next second, his entire being turned to ash and vanished.
Watching this terrifying scene unfold, Star-Lord and the others were left speechless, frozen in fear.
"So this is the power of an Infinity Stone?"
"It's truly terrifying…"
But more than the stone itself, what scared them most was the one wielding it.
The abilities Syd had displayed seemed even more incomprehensible than the stone's power itself.
Even without using the stone, he could have easily destroyed Ronan's forces and Ronan himself.
Wasn't that frightening enough?
Having dealt with Ronan, Syd contemplated his next steps.
With Ronan dead and the Power Stone back in his possession, it was time for him to leave.
As for Star-Lord and the others, without Ronan, their story would return to its original course—they would form the Guardians of the Galaxy and continue their morally ambiguous adventures.
This journey had been worthwhile, but it was time to move on.
Additionally, the black stone artifact he had acquired needed further study, which he preferred to do alone.
Syd replaced the Power Stone in his hand with the blue Tesseract.
The Tesseract emitted a radiant blue glow.
Looking over at Star-Lord and the others, Syd spoke softly, "I hope we meet again someday."
As his mysterious voice echoed, his entire body was enveloped in blue light, and then he disappeared from sight.
Star-Lord and the others stood dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"That was the power of the Space Stone," the Collector, Tivan, said with a hint of regret. "He's left the planet. You won't be able to find him."
Glancing at the ruins of his once-grand collection room, Tivan felt a deep pang of sorrow.
"My collection!"
This time, he had lost so much.
Hearing the Collector's words, Star-Lord and the others finally understood what had happened, their emotions mixed.
"It feels strange… having someone like him around, and then suddenly he's gone," Star-Lord remarked.
"It's better that he's gone," Gamora reassured. "That man was dangerous."
Not only was he dangerous, but the objects he carried with him were equally hazardous.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of chaos would follow if he stayed with them.
At this moment, they heard the Collector mutter, "Who exactly was that mysterious man…"
Like Ronan had screamed before his death, this man was definitely no ordinary mortal!
"White Knight?"
"Is there such a person?"
The Collector was reminded of how Syd had introduced himself when they first met.
He had said that some people liked to call him the "White Knight," and they could address him that way.
As the Collector murmured, Star-Lord suddenly had a flash of insight.
"White Knight?" Star-Lord muttered under his breath.
"What's up, Quill?" Rocket and the others looked at him curiously, wondering why he wore such a thoughtful expression.
Suddenly, they heard Star-Lord exclaim, "Could he be that White Knight?"
The Collector and the others were puzzled.
Before they could ask, Star-Lord explained.
"There was a rumor circulating a while ago about my home planet, Terra. It said two powerful figures appeared—one called Messiah, and the other called White Knight."
Rocket and the others were shocked.
"Your home planet?
"How strong are these people?"
Then they heard Star-Lord's awe-filled explanation.
"The rumor said that one of them could destroy an entire city in an instant, while the other could wipe out countless lives with ease…"
"What? Destroy a city in an instant?"
"Wipe out countless lives with ease?"
Rocket couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Seeing their expressions, Star-Lord chuckled bitterly. "At the time, I thought the same as you—that it couldn't possibly be true."
"After all, my home planet, Terra, is weak. There's no way such powerful beings could exist there, so I dismissed it as a ridiculous rumor."
"All my memories from childhood, and everything I've read about Earth, led me to believe it was just a wild tale…"
"I even thought the person who started the rumor was crazy and needed to see a psychiatrist!"
"But now…"
Star-Lord paused, not finishing his thought.
Even though he didn't say it outright, Rocket and the others understood what he meant.
