39: Mutual restraint
The three parties faced off, all for the power stone.
Ye Feng was pondering what to do.
He suddenly had an idea and quickly gave an order to the blood wolf's computer.
In a certain processing workshop of the blood wolf, under the control of the spaceship's intelligent core, countless nano-level robots were rapidly manufactured, and the materials they used were surprisingly dark iron and the outer shell material of the orb.
The technology in the Marvel Universe is very powerful, but they mostly pursue macroscopic power effects, and their application of microscopic technology is not strong.
Just then, a final ultimatum from Accuser Ronan came through the interstellar public channel.
"No matter which force you are, you'd best hand over the orb in your possession, otherwise, you and Accuser Ronan will be locked in an endless battle!"
Meanwhile, the Xandar Empire issued a hypocritical "benevolent statement."
"Your Excellency, the orb contains power that poses a great danger to the entire universe. Our Xandar Empire can keep it for you, to prevent it from harming innocent lives throughout the universe. Please consider this carefully, otherwise, for the safety of all life in the universe, we will take necessary measures."
Then, Star-Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy also spoke.
"Mysterious guy, the orb belongs to me, Star-Lord, and you stole it. Now please return it to its rightful owner. We, the Guardians of the Galaxy, are the true force of justice, and we are willing to protect it for the safety of the universe."
Ye Feng completely ignored these people, whether they were directly threatening him or warning him under the banner of justice.
He directly activated the powerful main cannon on the blood wolf, and an energy surge comparable to a planet-destroying level was directly fired.
Then, at the muzzle of the main cannon, a small, temporary Great Wormhole directly formed, with its other end opening behind Accuser Ronan's spaceship.
The planet-destroying level energy surge rapidly erupted, directly hitting Ronan's massive flagship.
This was a flagship that incorporated the powerful technology of the Kree Empire, but now its energy defense barrier was directly blasted into fragments by the star-destroying power.
Accuser Ronan and his subordinates never expected Ye Feng to be so decisive, and to possess means of cross-space energy attacks.
The massive energy torrent, after instantly shattering the spaceship's defenses, directly struck Ronan's spaceship.
And Ronan's main control cabin happened to be directly in the path of the energy torrent.
Boom!
The entire massive battleship directly disintegrated and exploded in space, and the life signs of Accuser Ronan and his many subordinates also vanished in the explosion.
Ronan's combat power was very strong, but like a ninja, he had high attack and low defense, existing like a fragile glass cannon.
Their life strength was not high.
Therefore, he didn't expect that Ye Feng not only had cross-space attack capabilities, but also fell directly to Ye Feng's opening strike without any preparation.
Accuser Ronan, this important villain, was thus eliminated!
This owner of the power stone actually possessed such a powerful battleship, capable of shattering Accuser Ronan with a single shot.
The Xandar Empire didn't expect this, and neither did Ye Feng.
When he came, the notes stated that this world was a 'medium-level world,' meaning the system considered it a single universe, not yet elevated to the multiverse level.
Ye Feng also couldn't access the multiverse.
But even so, as a rare strong individual, Ronan shouldn't have been killed so easily.
Yet, he died!
The moment Ronan was blown up, the Xandar Empire's Nova Corps fleet quickly dispersed and went on high alert.
Their detection systems quickly confirmed that Ye Feng's strike was planet-destroying in power.
Such immense power, emitted from such an unassuming small battleship, put them on high alert, making them realize that while the small battleship didn't look large, its technological power was extremely formidable.
They dispersed to avoid being shattered by Ye Feng's planet-destroying power with a single shot.
Even ground armies understand a principle: in modern warfare, never concentrate forces too much; that gives the enemy an opportunity for concentrated fire.
But before the Xandar Empire's Nova Corps could make their next move, before they decided whether to attack or retreat, another force appeared in space via interstellar jump.
The Kree Empire's fleet!
They've arrived!
The two fleets, vastly different in style and numerous, collectively became wary of Ye Feng's blood wolf.
They also hadn't expected Ye Feng's power to be so immense!
The Kree Empire quickly acquired battlefield information: Accuser Ronan had actually been killed by Ye Feng in a single blow.
They knew everything about Accuser Ronan, having planted their own people among his subordinates.
They also knew that Accuser Ronan was ostensibly acquiring the power stone for Thanos, but was actually doing so to achieve his own goals.
Namely, to destroy the Kree Empire's archenemy, the Xandar Empire.
Originally, the Kree Empire's plan was to wait until Ronan succeeded, then seize the power stone from Ronan.
The Kree Empire's hidden forces were not afraid of Thanos, who rampaged through the universe.
Thanos is indeed powerful, originating from the Eternals created by the Celestial Host, but the Kree Empire has dominated the universe for so many years; what kind of top-tier experts haven't they encountered?
This time, the Kree Empire intended to seize the power stone as one of their trump cards.
The Xandar Empire also saw through their intentions; they would rather the power stone fall into Thanos's hands than into the Kree Empire's.
In Thanos's hands, the worst-case scenario for the Xandar Empire would be losing half its population.
But in the Kree Empire's hands, the Xandar Empire would only have one path: annihilation, extinction. The Kree Empire would treat them like the Skrulls, never giving them a chance to rise again.
Therefore, after the Kree Empire's fleet appeared, the Xandar Empire's fleet received orders from their superiors after a short while.
They quickly turned their cannons to aim at the Kree Empire.
The Xandar Empire would rather tear up the recently signed armistice agreement between the two great empires than allow the power stone to fall into the Kree Empire's possession.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng was no longer in a hurry.
He guessed that Thanos's forces might also be entering the fray; with both great empires moving, Thanos couldn't possibly be unaware.
He wanted to see if the current Thanos could snatch the power stone from him.
This wasn't Ye Feng being arrogant; it was also because he couldn't leave. The situation seemed like the Xandar Empire was holding back the Kree Empire, but neither great empire would easily allow the power stone to leave their sight.
Ye Feng didn't believe that these two top-tier cosmic empires lacked powerful individuals to hold the fort.
If they did, they wouldn't have been able to dominate the universe and establish their empires.
A powerful force cannot lack top-tier experts, mid-tier experts, and grassroots strength.
So, Ye Feng was no longer in a hurry. He wanted to see how many people would appear in this cosmic drama concerning the power stone.
Because the power stone had imbued his armor, giving him absolute confidence in its defense.
Moreover, he was confident that he could quickly withdraw if the situation turned unfavorable!
