Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 250: Chapter 250



"You withstood the Power Stone's energy?" The Collector, Taneleer Tivan, was in shock. Just moments ago, Karina's tragic fate was fresh in everyone's mind-ordinary people couldn't possibly bear the energy of the Power Stone.

This man in front of him was clearly not ordinary!

To endure the Power Stone's energy and still appear unharmed-his origins must be just as extraordinary!

Who exactly was he?

The Collector's thoughts raced.

As his words echoed in the room, Star-Lord and the others finally grasped what had just happened.

Rocket was utterly bewildered. "He really withstood the power of that terrifying thing?" Star-Lord was just as stunned, still doubting whether the scene he had just witnessed was real.

That stone's mere shockwaves had blown up the Collector's building-yet someone had actually withstood its power?!

The group's emotions surged.

As they began to calm down, they realized something unsettling.

Staring at the white-cloaked figure holding the stone, they all felt a growing sense of dread.

Rocket cautiously asked, "Could you put that thing down? It's worth forty billion, and we need to sell it."

Before Syd could respond, Gamora quickly interjected, "This thing is too dangerous. We can't give it to Tivan-he can't control the energy of the orb!"

"We should hand it over to the Nova Corps!"

Rocket looked at her, stunned. "Are you crazy? We're wanted by them!"

"We might as well give it to Ronan!" he exclaimed.

Star-Lord shouted, "You want Ronan to destroy the entire universe?"

"Destroy the universe? You've got to be kidding. You're really sick in the head if you want to play hero!" Rocket scoffed. "What has the universe ever done for you? Why protect it?"

Star-Lord frowned. "Because I happens to live in the universe!"

Gamora agreed, "No matter what, we cannot let this stone fall into Ronan's hands. We should return to the ship and deliver it to the Nova Empire!"

Star-Lord hesitated, thinking about the money. "Or, we could give it to someone who won't arrest us, has a good reputation, and would be willing to pay us a hefty sum?"

"I think that would satisfy everyone," he added.

Gamora's voice immediately turned cold. "You're greedy, despicable, and treacherous!"

Rocket interrupted, "Alright, enough fighting. Shouldn't you all be asking whether this guy even wants to give up the stone?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He pointed towards Syd, who was still floating a distance away.

Everyone turned to look at the mysterious man in white, who was calmly observing them. "What are you planning to do?" Gamora asked, a sense of foreboding creeping over her. Star-Lord, Rocket, and the others all had a similarly bad feeling.

The air around the mysterious figure felt intense. As they tried to figure out what to do- some even considering using force to take the stone back-an unexpected disturbance occurred.

The sound of engines echoed from outside.

The group instinctively turned.

Through the hole in the roof, they could see a fleet of gray spacecraft descending upon them.

"What's going on?" Gamora asked, confused.

Star-Lord scanned the area, and suddenly, he noticed that Drax was missing.

Loud laughter echoed from outside.

"You're all doomed!" Drax's excited voice called out.

In an instant, Star-Lord and the others understood.

"That lunatic called Ronan here?!"

"Does he really want revenge that badly?"

"He's crazy! Does he even have a brain?" Rocket was on the verge of losing it.

They rushed outside and were greeted by the sight of countless spacecraft filling the sky.

"There are so many of them!?"

"He deployed this much firepower just for us?"

From another direction, a new voice called out.

"Quill! I knew you'd be here!"

Star-Lord's adoptive father, Yondu, arrived with a group of Ravagers, drawn by the news.

Before Yondu could ask any questions, another group disembarked from the landed

spacecraft.

Ronan, clad in black armor with blue skin and black markings on his face, slowly approached. "Accuser Ronan!" Drax shouted.

"You're the one who sent that message?" Ronan asked, his deep voice filled with confusion.

Drax's voice dripped with hatred. "You killed my wife and daughter! I want you dead!"

Drax charged at Ronan with a knife, but after a few quick moves, Ronan easily knocked him down, sending him crashing to the ground.

At that moment, Nebula, Thanos' other adopted daughter, who was temporarily allied with Ronan, noticed Gamora in the distance and alerted Ronan, "Gamora's over there. The orb

must be with her!"

Ronan's gaze shifted toward Gamora.

Besides spotting the traitorous Gamora and Star-Lord's group, what caught his attention the

most was the mysterious man in white floating in the air.

He had been monitoring this figure through underground channels for a while, which was why he had brought such overwhelming firepower this time.

Ronan smirked coldly.

Even if this person was powerful, with this many forces, there was no way he could be

stopped.

The orb was his!

Buzzing filled the air as the spacecrafts surrounded Star-Lord and the others.

"Hand over the orb!" Ronan demanded, glaring at Gamora.

Gamora scowled. "You wish!"

Ronan raised his hand.

Immediately, the weapons of the spacecraft extended, aiming directly at them.

Rocket quickly interjected, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's talk this out. That thing isn't with us anymore-you should be asking this guy!"

He pointed toward Syd.

Ronan, Nebula, and the others shifted their gaze to the mysterious man floating nearby.

The orb was with him?

"Hand it over," Ronan commanded coldly. "That doesn't belong to you-it's mine. I suggest

you be smart and give it to me."

The scene fell into silence as everyone's attention focused on Syd.

What would he do?

Syd glanced at Ronan, holding up the now-empty orb. "Are you talking about this?"

His mysterious voice echoed, startling Ronan. But Ronan quickly dismissed it, his attention

snapping to the empty orb.

"Where's the stone?"

Ronan's eyes immediately saw that the orb was empty.

"Give me the stone!" Ronan shouted.

Hundreds of spacecrafts aimed their weapons directly at Syd, making Star-Lord and the

others feel incredibly uneasy.

"We should just give it to him," Star-Lord quickly urged.

Gamora looked grim, already anticipating what was about to unfold.

Rocket gave pleading glances, hoping the mysterious man would be sensible and not make a

foolhardy choice.
