"Master, it seems the enemy is..."
Carina glanced at the holographic display, then hesitated before saying to Tivan, "Ronan's army of the undead..."
"What did you say?"
Collector Tivan also seemed stunned.
"Oh, she said Lou Xiang's army of the undead is coming."
Fang Mo deliberately repeated Carina's words: "Your mentor is about to come and execute you. The universe is not a lawless place, Zhang San, do you have anything else to say?"
"Wait, didn't the girl clearly say it was Ronan?"
Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but correct.
"Ronan!"
However, upon hearing Star-Lord's statement, before Tivan could say anything, Drax the Destroyer suddenly got excited. He raised his twin blades high: "I can finally avenge my wife and daughter by my own hands!"
"So why is Ronan attacking here?"
Star-Lord spread his hands and asked, "Should we hurry up and flee?"
"Look at your cowardly appearance." Fang Mo glanced at Star-Lord, speaking in a tone of disappointment: "You said we would confront Tivan together, but now you're scared just because Ronan is here? You want to join the Team Rocket with such a small heart?"
"When did I say I wanted to join the Rocket..."
"Hmm!?"
Fang Mo glared.
"Joining Team Rocket is my lifelong dream," Star-Lord quickly changed his words: "Although I don't know what Aruba is... if you want to do that, I'll join you."
"That's more like it."
Fang Mo showed a satisfied smile, then beckoned to Star-Lord: "Come here, we each lift one of his legs, Drax, you come too, grab his arm, anyway, let's make this guy do the splits first..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!"
Collector Tivan also sensed something was wrong: "Master Mage, isn't my punishment over yet? And what is Aruba?"
"Ha ha, you've asked the right person, White Hair."
Rocket Raccoon, always eager for chaos, had heard Fang Mo mention this before, so now he couldn't help but laugh and explain: "This is the oldest punishment on Cube Star, many 'leeks' have died from this move, heh heh... you're going to suffer!"
"This... what?"
Collector Tivan was also a bit confused after hearing this. Theoretically, as a member of the Universal Elders Council, he shouldn't be killed by ordinary means, but now Ronan was invading the Void, a major event, and he had to quickly think of a way to mobilize the guard fleet to counterattack.
After all, the Void is just a point in the cosmic mines, and there are generally not too many fleets stationed nearby. The nearest attack fleet of the Tivan Group is several jump points away from here.
"Then... that..."
Thinking of this, the collector Tivan hurriedly said, "Master Mage, if you can quell your anger, I am willing to accept your punishment. But let's discuss this. After I repelled Ronan's fleet..."
"No discussion, I want Aruba now."
However, Fang Mo simply ignored him and waved his hand, saying, "Quill, Drax, go!"
After speaking, Fang Mo rushed forward, grabbing the left leg of the collector Tivan with one hand. Star-Lord also cooperated by grabbing the collector's right leg. Together, they lifted him up by the legs.
"Wait... wait! No!"
The collector cried out in shock, but nobody paid him any attention.
Even Drax came forward, grabbed the collector's arms, and deliberately showed a fierce expression, shouting at the collector, "Aruba!"
"...Ah?"
The collector was stunned, looking at him blankly.
"Huh? Isn't this how it's done?" Drax showed a slightly strange expression. "Why isn't he scared?"
"It's not done this way."
Fang Mo shook his head, then turned to Groot: "Groot, come, turn into a golden tree form."
"I am Groot. (Is... it like this?)"
Groot scratched his head, suddenly grew taller, and then turned into a large tree, though it was gray-white, but indeed a tree.
"Come on, hit his basket!"
Fang Mo shouted excitedly, and then the three of them grabbed the collector Tivan, forcibly put him in a split position, and then crashed him into the tree Groot had become.
Of course, unlike the games on Earth, this hit was quite forceful.
Like the wooden stakes used in ancient temples to strike a large bell, this hit resounded throughout the entire collection room.
It must be said, the collector's race is indeed quite extraordinary. A normal man would have been done with such an injury, but after crying out in pain, he quickly recovered and began begging Fang Mo non-stop, "Master Mage, please spare me, I've said I didn't have any crooked thoughts about the Infinity Stones..."
"Hmm? Still talking?"
Fang Mo was also a bit surprised and called out to the others, "Another round!"
"Ah! No! Don't hit anymore! I can't take it anymore!"
The collector cried out in embarrassment and helplessness, but it was in vain. Carina didn't dare to make a move, knowing Fang Mo's background, afraid of making things worse. As for the other guards... Fang Mo had already conveniently locked them in the collection cabinets, and now they couldn't come out no matter how anxious they were.
But at that moment.
Suddenly, a light lit up on the screen.
"Master… Master..."
Carina glanced at the screen and then nervously said to the collector Tivan, "Ronan has sent you a communication request..."
"Turn it off!"
The collector has lived as an old monster for so many years, of course he cares about his face. Hearing Carina's words, he immediately became anxious: "Dispatch all guard forces to battle with him, try to pull the front line into the mining base, and prevent the enemy from activating the main weapon of the Dark Star…"
"Master, the enemy is violently cracking our communication frequency."
Carina glanced at the screen: "I don't have your permission, so I can't…"
Before she could finish, a white light suddenly appeared on her screen, and then Ronan's holographic image appeared in front of everyone.
"Taneleer Tivan!!!"
Ronan's uniquely deep voice resounded in the collection room, and it was clear that he was very angry: "You! How dare you kill my men and compete with me for the Cosmic…"
However, he only got halfway through his sentence when he saw Tivan, not far away, being split and hung up, crazily bumping into trees.
"... Orb?"
Ronan was clearly baffled by this scene and stayed stunned for a good half a minute before reacting: "What... what are you doing?"
"Uh... this…"
Although the two were on a video call, Fang Mo didn't stop, so Tivan's current state was that he was hitting a tree with his crotch while trying to maintain a calm smile: "Hmm, an ancient and mysterious relaxation ritual, don't mind it... Ouch! Sss... Don't mind it, by the way Ronan, I didn't take the Cosmic Orb."
"What the hell are you doing?"
Ronan was completely stunned: "Is there something wrong with your body structure or your brain!? I am attacking your Void! And you are here playing with trees? Are all the Universal Elders as arrogant as you!?"
"If... you leave now…"
Collector Tivan tried to keep a straight face, to appear calmer: "I can... ouch... I won't hold you responsible."
"Let me leave?"
Upon hearing this, Ronan instead sneered: "Do you think I came just to scare you? Fine, continue playing your stupid game, I will blow up the entire Void…"
"Before that, my escort fleet will jump in from all directions and annihilate you."
The Universal Collector was not afraid at all, even though he was being hit and grimacing, but he still coldly looked at Ronan: "You couldn't even conquer the Nova Corps... You don't think the Tivan Group is easy to bully, do you?"
"I am the Space Necromancer of the Kree Empire!"
Ronan said coldly, "No one dares not to fear me, and you are no exception. I will personally turn this place into ruins, and then find what I want from these ruins..."
"Very well, let's wait and see."
The Collector, unable to bear it any longer as the pain intensified, said to Carina, "Carina, cut off the visi..." before he could finish his sentence.
However, before he could finish, Fang Mo, who was holding his left leg, suddenly said, "Alright, punishment over!"
Right after he said this, Star-Lord, Drax, and Fang Mo let go of their hold at the same time. The Collector flew out like a split fork, falling to the ground like a broken sack, his beast skin shawl falling aside, looking very disheveled.
"Hmm?"
Ronan was also a bit surprised to see this.
A contemplative expression appeared on his face, and then he hesitantly said, "Taneleer Tivan, you... you weren't threatened by someone, were you?"
"How could that be? I, the great Collector..."
"That's right!"
Before the Collector could finish his sentence, Fang Mo interrupted him: "This guy offended our Team Rocket, so we hung him up and tortured him crazily."
"What?"
Ronan was initially stunned and then couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, the great Collector Tivan... to think that he would be cornered and tortured in his own home. I thought the elders of the universe were formidable, but it turns out they're just this mediocre."
"You..."
Embarrassed by Ronan's mockery, Tivan's face turned ashen as he said, "You think I wanted this? You are so foolish, you don't even know what I'm facing..."
"What are you facing?"
Ronan, hearing this, scoffed disdainfully: "Hmph, what else could it be? Nothing but a bunch of ants…"
