Chapter 417: Asgard, Super Awesome! (First Update)
"You traitor, stealing my money! If it weren't for me stopping them, you would have been eaten by my men a long time ago. They had never tasted an Earthling before, and I saved you, I did!"
On the scorched land outside the black market, a blue-skinned Alien in a leather jacket was berating Star-Lord.
Behind him stood a group of misshapen, menacing subordinates, and a battle ship hovering in the air, its cannons aimed at Star-Lord and the others.
"Who's that blue-skinned Alien? Is he an enemy?"
Jerry, standing a short distance behind Star-Lord, asked Gamora with curiosity.
If he were an enemy, the tone of the blue-skinned Alien's words didn't quite match. It seemed more like an Earth father complaining to a son, "I raised you from diapers, and you dare to be ungrateful!"
But if he weren't an enemy, the ships' cannons were still aimed at them, and the blue-skinned Alien's subordinates were radiating intense malice and hostility.
"He's Yondu, a famous Ravager and the one who forcibly took Quill from Earth. Whether he's an enemy or not, it's hard to say right now."
Gamora held her retractable knife, a worried expression on her face.
With so many of them, if a fight broke out, their chances of winning were slim.
"Saved me? Oh, come on, you've been saying this for twenty years, as if not eating me was such a big deal. Normal people don't eat people, let alone expect gratitude for it. You kidnapped me and tore me away from my family. I hate you!"
Star-Lord had initially planned to talk Yondu down with sweet words, but after being berated, he erupted.
Yondu, hearing Star-Lord's defiance, immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Star-Lord's nose and shouting:
"Tore you away from your family? You don't care about them, or about Earth. If you did, you would have gone back long ago. You're just afraid, a coward!"
Star-Lord froze, because Yondu was right.
Yondu had never restricted his freedom. If he wanted to return to Earth, he could have easily flown the Milano back.
But he didn't dare, because when Yondu took him, his beloved mother had just passed away, and he was at his most vulnerable and heartbroken.
"Sorry, kid, the boss has to show the men the consequences of betrayal. Since you betrayed us, you leave us no choice but to end you!"
Seeing Star-Lord stunned, Yondu shook his head, whistled, and a red-tipped whistle arrow from his belt flew up and stopped at Star-Lord's throat.
With another whistle, the arrow would pierce Star-Lord's throat, killing him on the spot.
"Looks like he's an enemy!"
Seeing Star-Lord in danger, Gamora, holding her retractable knife, was the first to charge forward.
Though she often beat and insulted Star-Lord, his humor and thick skin had indeed thawed her frozen heart a little.
Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and the burly Drax followed close behind.
They had all escaped from the same prison, each with a unique personality and few friends, but strangely, they had formed a bond.
"I advise you not to move!"
Yondu, seeing Gamora and the others charging at him, gestured to the ship above.
Dozens of Ravager ships still hovering in the air simultaneously fired a barrage of energy blasts, leaving a deep, charred trench a few meters wide in front of Gamora and the others.
"Gamora, fall back. Yondu, don't be hasty. Let's talk this out. Don't hurt them!"
At this moment, Star-Lord also reacted and quickly shouted reassurances to Gamora and Yondu.
However, just then, a voice as if amplified by a megaphone suddenly boomed:
"Where is the Asgard?"
Everyone turned to look, and it was Jerry, who had been standing quietly at the back the whole time.
Before anyone could wonder why such a small person had such a big voice, a rugged voice quickly echoed from a distance:
"At your service, Lord! Do not harm my master!"
Turning their heads, they saw a gleaming golden Viking warship speeding towards them.
"Destroy them!"
Jerry pointed at the dozens of Ravager ships in the air.
"Understood!"
With a roar, the Asgard shot forward as a golden streak, heading straight for the nearest Ravager ship. The large oars on the sides of the ship transformed into massive battleaxes as it charged.
Due to the Asgard's incredible speed, the Ravager ship didn't have time to turn and attack before it was already in close range.
"Crack!"
Like slicing through tofu, the Ravager ship was cut in half as the Asgard flew past, falling to the ground.
"Damn, that's intense!"
Everyone except Jerry was stunned to see a Ravager ship destroyed in the blink of an eye.
However, what stunned them even more was that in the next few seconds, the golden Asgard, wielding over twenty massive battleaxes, sliced through ten more Ravager ships as if they were cutting through melons.
"Watch out!"
At this moment, Rocket Raccoon shouted loudly.
In those few seconds, the remaining Ravager ships had reacted and focused their firepower on the Asgard, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
Unfortunately, the Asgard had already activated its energy shield. The attacks from the Ravager ships were not powerful enough to penetrate the enchanted, ultra-strong protective shield that Jerry had given the Asgard.
"Spatial Rift!"
Withstanding the relentless assault from the Ravager ships, the Asgard entered the Spatial Rift, disappearing from the current space and reappearing behind one of the Ravager ships, slicing it in half.
Before the other Ravager ships could react and adjust their aim, the Asgard entered the Spatial Rift again.
In this way, the Asgard, which had been a formidable warrior, transformed into a top-tier assassin. Using the advantage of the Spatial Rift, the Asgard took less than twenty seconds to cut all the remaining Ravager ships in the air into halves.
At this point, Yondu's Ravager team was left with only one base ship on the ground, and the crew of this large ship was not on board but standing behind Yondu.
"Sorry, I hired them, so you can't kill them, at least not until they complete my task!"
Seeing the Asgard had neutralized all the aerial threats, Jerry finally stepped forward to face Gamora and the others.
