Kyle smiled calmly, looked at the people in the cockpit, and said mainly to Quill, "Quill, I have found the person I need to find. The matter I asked you to do is now completely over. You are free, but before that, you have to send us back to Planet Pico."
Quill responded cheerfully while flying the fighter plane: "No problem. I promised Brown Bear and Gomora to give them a ride on that planet. Now, we are heading towards the planet Bico."
"That's good."
Kyle calmed down a little. With this, and the Soul Stone, this journey through the starry sky would be complete, and the time to return to Earth was just around the corner.
Bicostar.
The sun had already set, and night had enveloped the vast wilderness of the ruins of civilization.
A starlight lit up in the dark night sky, and then enlarged into a bright disk. It was not until it descended to a certain height that it could be seen that it was an interstellar fighter plane glowing with light.
"Strange, this should be the location. Where is the building during the day? Did we go to the wrong place?"
Quill, who was in the main driving seat, was deeply surprised. He maneuvered the fighter plane closer to the ground. The bright lights shone down, and all he saw was a piece of civilization's garbage and ruins.
"problem occurs."
Kyle's face turned cold instantly, and without waiting for the fighter plane to land, he quickly opened the cabin door, holding Lucy and flew down to the sunken ground where some charred bricks and tiles still remained.
I will never make a mistake, this is the original site of Howard's building during the day.
"Oh My God!"
Controlling the fighter plane, Quill cast a light into the distance, and the few people who remained in the cabin couldn't help but gasp.
However, the ground within a radius of 100 meters was filled with smoke, obviously after a very brutal battle. The corpses of monsters wearing steel armor were lying everywhere on the ground, and dark brown blood dyed the ruined land red.
Chapter 425 The battle for raw stones officially begins!
As a cloud of dust was raised, the interstellar fighter slowly landed on the wasteland. The hatch opened, and Quill and his group followed out, coming behind Kyle and Lucy, looking at the messy ruins under the lights of the fighter.
"What on earth is happening here?"
Lucy's face was full of horror. She covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from screaming, and held Kyle's arm tightly with the other hand.
"It's obvious that they were attacked by unknown forces, but who would dare to attack Brown Bear and his fellow VIP guests of the rising star?" Quill said in surprise.
Kyle was equally puzzled by this.
There are only two top forces in the Galactic Alliance, one is the Kree, and the other is the Nova. After the Ronan incident, both of them knew how powerful he was and would never attack the people he protected. As for the scattered Star Hunters, they had no capital to challenge Tony and his team.
The high-end fighters who stayed here during the day included Iron Man Tony, Polaris Lorna, Tree Man Groot, and Brown Bear Rocket. They were already more powerful than the original Guardians of the Galaxy.
"These creatures... look familiar." Yongdu frowned, took a few steps forward, came to an armored creature, squatted down and looked at it, his face, which had always been calm and composed, suddenly changed drastically and said in a deep voice: "I remember, it's Titan... the subordinates of the force led by that man!"
"Titan?"
Hearing the name, Kyle's eyes turned cold as if he was facing a great enemy, his body and mind tensed, his hands suddenly clenched into fists, arcs of energy flickering faintly between his fingers.
Quill stroked his chin, remembering what he had said before about the Infinity Gauntlet and the gems, and exclaimed, "Could it be, Thanos?!"
"Plop!"
Ten meters in front of the crowd, a paint-chipped steel arm suddenly stretched out from under a pile of rubble.
"Huh?" Kyle reacted quickly, and came forward in one step. He stretched out his hand to grasp the steel-covered palm and pulled it upwards. Suddenly, a scarred iron man with a slight flash of fault warning was lifted up from the ground.
Kyle gently placed it on the ground and crushed the broken iron mask, immediately revealing Tony's pale and bloodless face.
"Godfather." Tony opened his eyes with difficulty and saw that it was Kyle. A light appeared in his dead eyes. "You are finally back."
"Tony, tell me, what's going on here?" Kyle asked.
Tony coughed violently, supported himself on the ground, and barely stood up. He spoke with difficulty, "Jarvis, how long have I been unconscious? Where are those people?"
Jarvis responded: "Sir, you have been unconscious for nearly three hours, and the enemy warships evacuated the planet two and a half hours ago."
"Two and a half hours? That's too late!"
Tony gritted his teeth and said to Kyle beside him, "Godfather, three hours ago, we were suddenly attacked by two donut-shaped interstellar battleships. There were many fully armed alien creatures and soldiers, as well as two very powerful aliens. My battle suit was no match for them!"
The battle suit that had always been invincible was suddenly ravaged by an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. It failed to protect the people it was supposed to protect. This was an extremely cruel blow to Tony, who was Iron Man!
After hearing Tony's words, Kyle whispered with certainty: "It seems that it is really Thanos."
"Kyle, look over there."
Suddenly, Lucy made a sound.
Kyle and Tony looked as prompted, and saw a slightly bulging mound of earth under the ruins not far away. The mound was still expanding and growing, and soon the protective cage wrapped in branches was revealed inside.
The tree branch cage, which was as big as a second floor, collapsed and opened, revealing three people lying intact inside: Howard, Rocket, and Dex.
"Father!" Tony exhaled lightly, not bothering to take off the tattered suit, and ran forward in three steps. He was relieved when he found that Howard just fainted and was not seriously injured.
Rocket had tears in his eyes, holding a branch in his paws, his face was sad and deep, and he didn't say anything. Dex, with his bare upper body covered with scars, patted Rocket's little shoulder in a comforting way.
"Where are the others?" Kyle looked around but did not see Lorna and Gomora.
Dex gritted his teeth and said gloomily, "Those guys came here just for Gemo La. It seems that Luna was captured with them. Before they left, they launched interstellar missiles to kill us. If it weren't for the tree man Groot who saved us..."
"It's dead, Groot is dead, only this is left." Rocket finally couldn't help it and shed two lines of tears, which dripped onto the dry branch in his hand.
"This is bad."
The bad news that came one after another shocked Kyle. He didn't expect that such a big change would happen after he left for just a few hours.
Thanos's men kidnapped Gomora, and they were unable to get any information about the location of the Soul Stone. On the other hand, Lorna, who had mastered the magnetic field ability, was captured, which was a loss of a high-end combat force.
"Mr. Kyle, can we seek revenge on that bastard Thanos?" Rocket looked up at Kyle, the only one on the field who had the capital to compete with Thanos.
Kyle frowned, thought quickly, and then said in a deep voice: "There are only three possible outcomes for us to face Thanos now. One is that we and part of Thanos' fleet will both be defeated. The second is that you all die, and I am the only one who escapes and survives. The third is that we will all die in the Titan galaxy."
"Thanos, is he so powerful?" Quill couldn't help but feel a chill on his back after hearing Kyle's words. He knew how terrifying Kyle's fighting power was.
At this time, even Kyle treated it more seriously than ever before.
"That's right. And now that Thanos has kidnapped Gomora, he may soon get the Soul Stone. Add to that the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, and I don't even have a chance of defeating him."
Kyle said bluntly.
"So let's just call it a day?" Rocket asked in disbelief.
“Of course… We can’t just let it go like this, Lorna is still in their hands! How dare they attack my people…” Kyle shook his head decisively, narrowing his eyes dangerously, “We need reinforcements to fight against Thanos’s warships and forces, and we also need to take control of the other gems first. Otherwise, when the rest of the gems fall into Thanos’ hands, it will be a real cosmic catastrophe!”
Dex scratched his bald head and asked a crucial question, "How do we know where the other gems are?"
