Chapter 316 The Target: The Power Stone, the Guardians of the Galaxy's First Collaboration!
Even as plunderers who had seen countless storms, they were now ice-cold, their blood frozen, frozen in fear, unable to move!
Only Yondu remained calm, gripping his whistle tightly and forcing himself not to make a move.
Because he knew that once he made a move, each of those seven-colored iron rings in the air, more terrifying than his whistle arrows, would instantly kill him and his surviving men!
Therefore, even though Yondu was furious and about to explode, he didn't lash out, but instead questioned:
"What exactly do you want?!"
Toby shrugged and said casually, "Obviously, I'm helping you, helping you eliminate those dissidents who have long harbored resentment towards you, so you can truly take control of your team. You know that perfectly well, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Yondu lowered his head and remained silent for two seconds before suddenly looking up and bursting into laughter:
"Haha, yes, that's right, friend. They're all unstable elements among the raiders, unruly and unfit to be raiders. I should thank you for your help just now!"
"Therefore, on behalf of the remaining raiders, I agree to have you as our new captain!"
Seeing that Yondu had come to his senses, Toby smiled slightly and waved his hand, a burst of red light sweeping across the entire cabin centered on him.
The next moment, all the flesh and blood in the cabin, as well as the bloodstains on the remaining raiders, disappeared completely after the red light swept over them!
The power of the Reality Stone—to alter reality, to erase what exists from reality…
Toby's move successfully made the raiders even more respectful of him.
While a powerful individual who can easily slaughter them is certainly terrifying, a powerful individual with mysterious methods will undoubtedly inspire even greater awe in them!
So naturally, Toby became the temporary new leader of the spaceship, and was unanimously approved by the rest of the crew.
And the first order Toby gave after becoming captain was... to find Star-Lord!
According to Yondu, the Raiders had recently received a mission to find the Orb of the Universe, and Star-Lord had broken away from the group shortly after receiving that mission to search for the Orb ahead of them.
And this so-called cosmic orb is one of Toby's targets this time, the vessel for the Power Stone!
It contains the Power Gem!
So he just happened to be caught up in the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1!
According to the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, Star-Lord is not the only one currently searching for the Orb of Destiny!
Toby also has another target: Thanos's two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula!
If he can capture these two women, he will be able to find out the location of his own universe's Thanos, thus eliminating this threat ahead of time!
Therefore, for whatever purpose, he had to find Star-Lord first.
Yondu actually knew the location of the Orb of Destiny, but he deliberately lagged behind Star-Lord to give him a chance to prove himself.
However, now, the lives of everyone on the ship are in Toby's hands, and Yondu knows that now is not the time to pamper his adopted son.
So he immediately ordered the spaceship to head at full speed to the coordinates of the cosmic orb!
However, by the time their spaceship arrived at Morag, the planet where the cosmic orb was located, the cosmic orb in the temple had already vanished.
It's clear that Star-Lord had already succeeded.
Furthermore, Star-Lord refused to answer Yondu's calls, infuriating Yondu!
Clearly, Star-Lord had no intention of bringing the Orb back to claim credit; instead, he planned to sell the universe and keep all the Orb's reward for himself!
Finally, Yondu told Toby helplessly that they now had no idea where Star-Lord had gone.
After all, with Star-Lord's intelligence, even Yondu, his adoptive father, wouldn't have guessed where he was hiding if Star-Lord hadn't taken the initiative to let them know...
Toby knew that Yondu wasn't lying, but he wasn't in a hurry at all.
Instead, they directly gave Yondu a location.
That's the Nova Corps' high-security prison - Klin!
Although no one knew where Toby got his confidence from that Star-Lord would be there.
But now Toby is the captain, so after Toby gave the order, Yondu had no choice but to have the ship headed toward Krillin.
Meanwhile, Klin of the Nova Corps did indeed bring in several new criminals.
They are the future Guardians of the Galaxy: Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot.
However, they are not teammates yet. On the contrary, they were captured by the Nova Corps because of a brawl that happened on Xandar not long ago.
I really don't know how those four, as wanted criminals in the universe, dared to trade cosmic orbs on Xandar, the headquarters of the real cosmic police force, the Nova Corps...
One day later.
Inside the prison, Star-Lord, who had been locked up for a day, was forming a makeshift escape team with Rocket, Groot, and Gamora, loudly plotting their escape plan at the dining table.
Rocket, a master of escape who has broken out of prison twenty times, is skillfully assigning tasks to everyone.
Gamora goes to get the prison guard's pass, and Star-Lord goes to steal the cripple's mechanical leg.
But one last thing gave them a bit of a problem: the Cornish Battery on the watchtower in the very center of the prison.
This thing is nearly ten meters off the ground. Even if they could get it, it would be impossible for them to get away without being discovered!
Therefore, the three of them are troubled by this problem...
Why is it said that out of the four people's plan, only three are troubled by this problem?
That's because...
Upon learning that the rocket needed the Cornish battery, the dull-witted Groot used his adjustable tree trunk to raise his height and extend his arm to forcibly pull the Cornish battery off the watchtower!
It stared with its innocent, wide eyes, as if trying to claim credit for the rocket...
This caused the prison's alarms to go off!
This forced the rocket's plans to be brought forward, leading to their first team-based operation!
Rocket and Groot held off the guards while Star-Lord and Gamora went to retrieve the remaining two items that Rocket wanted!
Everything was proceeding as smoothly as in the movies. If nothing unexpected happened, Star-Lord and his team's first collaboration would be perfect, and they would successfully escape from prison.
but..........
Reality isn't like a movie, and it's not as smooth as in the movies; reality is always full of surprises...
Just as the group had gathered the three items the rocket needed and were preparing for their final escape plan, the accident happened!
Rumble————————
With a loud bang, the prison gate, which the Rockets planned to require them to swipe their cards to pass through, was blown open amidst the flames!
This caused the prison guards and criminals, who were engaged in a chaotic battle, to all stop and look at the iron gate that had been blown open.
The next moment, with a series of heavy footsteps, a tall figure emerged from the smoke of the explosion.
And he was none other than the accuser we found—Ronan!
