Chapitre 251: Chapter: 251
After witnessing the aftermath of the explosion, Gamora was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly approached the workstation to close the Cosmic Orb, preventing another energy outburst from the Infinity Stone.
"Quickly, the deal is done. Let's leave this place. Only by witnessing it with our own eyes do we understand how terrifying this power truly is.
I'm afraid even the Collector's collection cannot safely contain its existence. I promise to ensure the absolute safety of the Cosmic Orb."
Having retrieved the Cosmic Orb, Gamora prepared to leave with everyone, but Rocket stood in her way.
"Put it back! That was just an accident. The maid is already dead, and the Collector has learned his lesson. He will undoubtedly tighten security and protect the Cosmic Orb better in the future.
We should just take the money and go, let others deal with the trouble!"
For Rocket, protecting the Cosmic Orb was a thankless task, not as rewarding as the 4 billion credits. Plus, it didn't want to get involved in any trouble related to the Orb. Taking the money and leaving was obviously the best and easiest choice.
But for Gamora, her past experiences compelled her to ensure the Cosmic Orb's safety. Her loved ones, her homeland, her civilization—all were destroyed by powerful forces, leaving indelible wounds in her soul. She couldn't bear to see the same fate befall other planets and civilizations.
It was precisely because of this that she had fought desperately to escape the control of Thanos and Ronan. According to their agreement, Ronan would hand over the Cosmic Orb in exchange for Thanos helping him destroy Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire.
"We can't leave such a dangerous thing with the Collector. We should take it to Xandar; maybe the Nova Corps can handle its safekeeping." Gamora vetoed Rocket's proposal and expressed her own idea.
"Are you kidding me!? We just broke out of the Kyln prison and are wanted by them. Now you want us to walk right into their trap? Why don't we just hand it over to Ronan directly!"
Rocket was furious at the suggestion of going back to Xandar. It wasn't Gamora's naivety that frustrated him, but her innocence.
"Hand it over to Ronan? Do you want that lunatic to destroy the entire galaxy?" Star-Lord, who had remained silent until now, was also excited by Rocket's irrational statement and joined the opposition against him.
"Why are you suddenly acting like a saint? What does it matter to us if Ronan destroys the galaxy? Has this galaxy ever done anything good for us? Why should we save it?"
Rocket was getting more and more worked up, and his past experiences as an experiment had made him resentful toward the galaxy, showing no concern for its potential destruction.
Star-Lord, on the other hand, rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Of course, because we live in this galaxy, you idiot!"
"Listen carefully, Quill, and you too, Rocket. We absolutely cannot let this thing fall into Ronan's hands. We need to get back to Milano and hand it over to the Nova Corps."
"Okay, no problem. I agree with you. However, perhaps we can hand it over to someone who is not wanted, is very kind, and is willing to buy it from us. I think this is a very good compromise, satisfying both your and Rocket's demands..."
As Star-Lord spoke, he tried to take the Cosmic Orb from Gamora's hand, but she evaded him with caution.
"The only person in Baymax's database who fits your captain's conditions is my master," said the previously silent Baymax, seizing the opportunity to speak.
"Baymax, don't let your captain's influence turn you into someone as despicable and shameless as him!"
After saying this, Gamora ignored Star-Lord and Rocket's opinions, turned around, and planned to deliver the Cosmic Orb safely to the Nova Corps, even if she had to do it alone.
But just as Gamora turned, she saw a shocking scene, "Oh no!"
Suddenly, a large number of spaceships from the Kree Empire, recognizable by Gamora's eyes, surged into the Forbidden Zone of Knowhere.
As chaos ensued with everyone scrambling to escape the unexpected turn of events, one person faced the massive fleet and laughed madly, appearing completely insane.
That person was Drax, who had disappeared earlier. Holding two dagger-sized knives in his hands, he shouted at the fleet in the sky, "Finally, they have come! The enemies have finally come! I will destroy all of you!"
"Did you contact Ronan to come here!?" Star-Lord asked Drax in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Drax would resort to such a crazy and foolish act for revenge.
Before he could even curse Drax, another group of pursuers arrived. "Quill, my child, stay right there."
Yondu and his "Ravagers" mercenary group had also arrived in Knowhere. Yondu had obtained information about the mysterious buyer from the middleman who had been in contact with him to find the Cosmic Orb.
Unaware that Star-Lord did not have the Cosmic Orb and had been arrested by the Nova Corps, Yondu believed that if Star-Lord wanted to sell the item, he would go to the buyer. So he came here with the intention of trying his luck.
To Yondu's surprise, he had indeed struck gold. As soon as he entered the area, he found his target.
However, asking someone to stay put was impossible. Sometimes, the more you tell a rebellious child not to do something, the more they are determined to do it.
And Star-Lord was that rebellious child. Seeing Yondu in his sight, he wasted no time and ran, heading towards the nearby spaceship docking area.
Rocket and Gamora followed closely, heading towards the docking area as well. Otherwise, facing Ronan's massive fleet, they would be at a huge disadvantage.
Baymax glanced at them but didn't follow. It couldn't leave Drax, who was facing Ronan alone, alone.
Through Baymax's senses, Ronan's energy reactions were extremely high, several times more than what Drax had within him. If Drax were left unattended to challenge Ronan, he would undoubtedly be defeated and likely killed by him.
Although Baymax and Drax hadn't known each other for long, Drax had voluntarily helped them during their escape.
The camaraderie from their escape, coupled with their shared experiences along the way, had already made Baymax consider Drax as its companion. Now, its priority was to protect its companion's life.
