Chapter 436: Toy with Ronan (First Update)
Chapter 436: Toy with Ronan (First Update)
Initially, aboard the Darkstar, Ronan had seen the situation below and was prepared to engage the Ravagers directly, forcibly reclaiming the Cosmic Orb. However, after some thought, he changed his mind.
The Ravagers were a formidable group. Even if he could win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. If the people below took advantage of the battle between him and the Ravagers to escape with the Cosmic Orb, it would be a significant loss.
Therefore, he decided to personally lead a team down from the Darkstar to negotiate.
If Stakar agreed to his terms, he could take the Cosmic Orb and use the Power Stone's immense energy to destroy the Ravagers, ensuring his fleet remained unscathed.
If Stakar refused, his personal intervention would still guarantee that the Cosmic Orb wouldn't be taken away.
"Well..."
Hearing Ronan's words, Stakar was tempted.
Although he couldn't forgive Yondu for his past actions, they were still brothers after many years. He couldn't just stand by and watch Yondu be killed by Ronan, which was why he had brought the Ravagers to rescue him.
However, he knew that if a war broke out with Ronan's fleet, the Ravagers had little hope of victory, and many of his brothers and sisters would die.
So, now that Ronan was willing to take a step back, he naturally wanted to do the same and try to resolve the issue peacefully.
At this moment, Jerry, who had been standing there all along with a smile and a calm demeanor, finally stopped watching and raised his arm, beckoning Ronan over:
"Want the Cosmic Orb, huh? Come on over, I'll give it to you."
"Such an easy surrender doesn't seem like his style!"
Seeing how easily Jerry was about to hand over the Cosmic Orb, Star-Lord and others who knew him were taken aback.
Especially since they knew that with Jerry's true strength, Ronan and his fleet combined might not be a match.
Ronan, on the other hand, wasn't surprised. In his view, given the current situation, the other side's willingness to hand over the Cosmic Orb was the expected outcome.
However, something about their expression and actions made him feel very uneasy inside.
But getting the Cosmic Orb now was the priority, so he started walking toward Jerry.
"Accuser Ronan, you killed my wife, you killed my daughter. Today, I will avenge them!"
Just then, Drax, who had been standing behind Star-Lord, eyes bloodshot, leaped over Star-Lord and Jerry, charging straight at Ronan with a dagger in hand.
Ronan looked at Drax with a hint of confusion, then easily dodged Drax's attack with a quick movement.
"Sorry, I don't seem to know you!"
"I will kill you!"
Drax's anger intensified. He leaped up and thrust both daggers fiercely toward Ronan's eyes.
However, Ronan's strength was clearly much greater than Drax's. He took a step back, then kicked Drax hard in the chest as he fell, sending him flying and crashing into a nearby building.
"I've killed too many people to remember your family, and I certainly don't remember you!"
"Drax!"
Seeing Drax being kicked away, Rocket and Groot immediately rushed over to check on him, while Star-Lord and Gamora, angry, prepared to step forward but were held back by the rational Yondu.
Yondu knew that if Star-Lord and Gamora stepped forward, they wouldn't stand a chance against Ronan.
"Indeed, impressive strength!"
Jerry watched as Ronan kicked Drax away and nodded to himself.
Over the time they had spent together, he had come to understand that Drax, in terms of strength and defense, far surpassed the average person. Even a regular energy gun couldn't penetrate his defenses.
However, now, Drax was being completely overpowered by Ronan, who was relying solely on his physical prowess without using the Universal Weapon in his hand.
Just from the feel of it, Ronan's physical capabilities were likely not much worse than Thor's. With the Universal Weapon in hand, most of Earth's Avengers would stand little chance against him.
Even Jerry, in terms of raw physical strength, might not be much stronger than Ronan.
If not for Star-Lord's half-god body, which allowed him to harness the Power Stone, killing Ronan would have been extremely difficult.
Moreover, Ronan could also make direct contact with the Power Stone for a short time without being destroyed by its violent energy.
This clearly indicated that his constitution was extraordinary.
With eager steps, Ronan approached Jerry again, his heart filled with the anticipation of achieving his goal. He reached out to take the Cosmic Orb from Jerry's hand.
"You're quite impressive. I might spare your life in a moment."
Jerry's lips curled into a slight smile. He made no resistance, allowing Ronan to take the Cosmic Orb from his hand.
"I, Ronan, will become the most powerful being in the universe, and all of you will die!"
Ronan planted the Kree Warhammer on the ground and, with a violent motion, split the Cosmic Orb in two, ready to extract the Power Stone and embed it into the Universal Weapon. He planned to use the Power Stone's energy to destroy the entire planet of Contraxia.
"Boing!"
As soon as the Cosmic Orb opened, a spring sound echoed from within, and a Joker Doll flew out, bouncing directly onto Ronan's forehead.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot."
Seeing the Joker Doll, connected to a spring, repeatedly saying the same word as if mocking him, Ronan was momentarily stunned.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Star-Lord couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the Ravagers soon followed, covering their mouths to stifle their laughter.
"Sorry, I took the wrong one. That one was fake!"
Jerry quickly stepped forward, taking advantage of Ronan's momentary confusion, and placed another identical Cosmic Orb in his hand.
Ronan, suppressing his anger, threw the fake Cosmic Orb to the ground and once again split open a new one.
"Boing!"
The same Joker Doll bounced onto Ronan's face again.
Jerry looked at Ronan.
"Surprised? Unexpected?"
"You dare to toy with me!"
At this point, Ronan could see through the ruse. The other party had never intended to give him the Cosmic Orb; they had been making a fool of him the entire time.
Jerry smiled.
"You guessed right, but there's no prize."
"No one dares to toy with me like this. I will tear you limb from limb!"
Ronan reached for the Kree Warhammer stuck in the ground and was about to activate its shockwave to turn Jerry into a pile of flesh.
However, Jerry had anticipated this. He muttered a spell in advance.
"Disarming Charm!"
A blue light shot out, and Ronan's Kree Warhammer flew out of his hand.
"Back and forth!"
The flying Kree Warhammer landed directly in Jerry's hand.
"The pinnacle of Kree technology, the Universal Weapon, hmm... it feels pretty good!"
After a quick inspection, he tossed the Kree Warhammer into his ring world.
