"Perhaps we should let everyone in Void fight together." Rocket squinted, a cunning smile on his lips, his tone full of provocation.
"How is that possible?" Gamora replied coldly while swinging her dual blades to clear enemies, "These people only care about their own interests, no one will take risks at a time like this."
"Why is it impossible?" Rocket patted the weapon in his hand, saying in an almost fanatical tone, "As long as there are enough benefits, these bastards will do anything. We just need to give them a goal—for example, hang Ronan's head on their warship, who can refuse such a proposal?"
"You mean..." Quill blinked, obviously having followed Rocket's train of thought, "Treat Ronan as their war trophy?"
"To be precise, treat him as their war fund." Rocket turned his head and looked at the chaotic ruins of Void, "The rules here are money and power, they want everything Ronan has. We just need to let them know what Ronan's failure means to them."
"That sounds crazy." Gamora frowned, but her tone no longer held the previous negation.
"What's crazy is that we're fighting Ronan's army to a draw." Rocket's tone changed, his voice lowering, "If we don't use some extraordinary means, next time we might not have a chance to stand here and discuss strategy."
Quill grinned, the energy gun in his hand still radiating heat: "Alright, sounds like a plan that can keep us alive. I'll be in charge of the speech—after all, I'm best at this kind of thing."
"Don't speak for too long." Gamora crossed her dual blades, reminding him coldly, "If we delay too long, Ronan will deal with us himself."
"Don't worry, my charming genius is enough to rally everyone." Quill winked smugly, then opened the communication channel and tuned into Void's public broadcast frequency, "Residents of Void! I know you're watching!"
"He's starting again." Rocket shrugged helplessly, picked up his weapon, and stepped back a few paces towards the fighting.
Quill's voice echoed over the ruins: "This is Star-Lord—that's right, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the coolest space adventurer in history! I have a proposal you can't refuse. If you're willing to join us and fight against Ronan, his fleet, resources, and even his head, will all be yours!"
A burst of noisy discussion came from the broadcast, but no one had responded yet.
"Not enough." Gamora said in a low voice.
Quill gritted his teeth and added with emphasis: "Listen up, Ronan's failure is your victory. If he wins, he will continue his path of destruction, and you, all of you, will become his next target. So, either act now, or wait for him to turn your homes into ashes!"
After a few seconds of silence, a rough voice sounded in the broadcast channel: "Why should we believe you?"
"You don't need to believe me." Quill chuckled lightly, his voice growing more confident, "Look at the sky, look at his fleet, look at the vehicles we've already shot down. We're not joking. You join in, not only can you protect your territory, but you can also get a share. Now, who doesn't want a piece of the spoils of war?"
Someone on the other end spoke in a low voice, and the broadcast sounded again: "Alright, we're in. But if you fail, don't blame us for turning hostile."
"Deal!" Quill decisively closed the communication and turned to look at the others, "Now, we have an army."
Gamora nodded slightly: "Hope they keep their promise."
Rocket raised his weapon and glanced at the battlefield in the distance: "Don't worry, they are the most unruly people in this area, they're best at this kind of thing."
Just then, more spaceships appeared in the sky above Void in the distance. These ships bore various emblems and swarmed towards the battlefield from all directions. Quill smiled at Gamora and Rocket, and raised his energy gun: "Get ready for a crazy free-for-all."
Dominic slowly stepped forward, his gaze sharply locked on Ronan, a sneer playing on his lips. His voice was cold but laced with mockery: "You know, Ronan, power doesn't prove anything, it only makes the weak eager to hide their fear. Just like you."
Ronan raised the Universal Weapon in his hand, snorted coldly, and stomped his feet on the ground, charging towards Dominic like a cannonball. The purple energy contained within the hammer flowed, forming a dazzling arc. Dominic slightly shifted his body, pushed off the ground, his speed so fast he almost became an afterimage. Ronan's attack missed, the hammer slammed into the ground, unleashing a violent energy shockwave.
Dominic quickly leaped into the air, his eyes suddenly bursting with a searing red light, shooting accurately towards Ronan. Ronan raised his hammer, barely blocking it with a barrier of purple energy, but his arm trembled slightly from the immense impact.
"You truly disappoint me." Dominic said coldly, his figure swooping down from the air like lightning, his fist carrying immense force hitting Ronan's side. Ronan grunted, his body staggering back several meters from the blow, the stone slabs beneath his feet shattering into countless pieces.
Ronan gritted his teeth, swinging his hammer horizontally, trying to force Dominic back. Dominic advanced instead of retreating, precisely seizing the moment the hammer swung, gripping the hammer handle directly with both hands, and the two were locked in a contest of strength. The hammer handle emitted a grating metallic screech, Ronan clenched his teeth, his arm muscles trembling from the excessive force, while Dominic's expression remained calm.
"Is this the power of the Kree?" Dominic sneered, suddenly raising his knee and heavily striking Ronan's abdomen. Ronan roared lowly, the hammer slipping from his hand. Dominic kicked the hammer away, raised his hand, and punched Ronan in the chest, sending him flying dozens of meters to crash heavily against a wall.
Ronan struggled to his feet from the rubble, his chest heaving violently. His eyes grew fiercer, and he clasped his hands in front of his chest, purple energy quickly condensing into a dazzling light ball. He threw the light ball with all his might, aiming directly at Dominic's chest. The light ball cut through the air, emitting a piercing hum.
Dominic stood in place, his eyes once again releasing scorching beams of light, colliding directly with the light ball. The two streams of energy collided violently in the air, erupting in a deafening roar. The light ball's energy gradually weakened, and finally completely disintegrated under the suppression of the light beams, transforming into a purple ripple that spread outwards.
"You're nothing more than this." Dominic shook his head disdainfully, his figure flashing, instantly appearing in front of Ronan. He grabbed Ronan by the shoulder and slammed him heavily to the ground. The ground collapsed again, Ronan's body embedded in a deep pit, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Ronan gasped for air, barely raising his head, his eyes filled with rage. He reached out, trying to recall his hammer, but Dominic was a step ahead, stepping on the hammer's handle and pressing it forcefully into the ground.
"What are you still expecting, Ronan?" Dominic looked down at him, his voice like the whisper of death, "You can never surpass me, because we are not on the same level at all."
Ronan roared, forcefully breaking free from the ground's restraint, and charged violently towards Dominic, trying to launch an attack with his last bit of strength. Dominic neither dodged nor avoided, raising his arm and steadily blocking Ronan's fist, then twisting Ronan's arm back at an impossible angle, accompanied by a crisp sound of bone cracking.
Ronan knelt on the ground, sweat mixed with blood on his forehead, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes for the first time. Dominic's gaze was cold and merciless, as if looking down at a failed experiment.
Dominic bent slightly, clenched his fist, and power began to gather, the air around him becoming hot and distorted. He looked coldly at Ronan kneeling on the ground, a cruel smile appearing on his lips: "Goodbye, Kree joke."
Just as he swung his fist, a piercing roar suddenly came from the sky, followed by a huge energy beam shooting down from Ronan's warship, heading straight for Dominic. Dominic quickly flashed away to dodge, the beam slammed into the ground, and the blast wave from the explosion scattered the surrounding rubble.
Ronan took the opportunity to roll aside, looking disheveled towards the warship. His subordinate Kree soldiers leaped down from the warship one after another, surrounding Dominic, while at the same time, the resistance forces of Void rushed out from somewhere, fighting alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, instantly turning the battlefield into chaos.
"Protect the Lord!"
The Kree soldiers roared in unison, wielding energy weapons and charging towards Dominic, trying to suppress his power with a human wave tactic.
Dominic stood in the center of the chaotic battlefield, his gaze calm but filled with deep contempt. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and red beams of light suddenly erupted, sweeping directly over the oncoming Kree soldiers, leaving behind a scorched mess of corpses. The smell of blood permeated the air, Dominic raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and sneered softly: "Truly a bunch of foolish cannon fodder."
After the forces of Void joined the battle, the battlefield became even more chaotic. Peter Quill shouted while shooting: "Where did these guys come from? When did we become the saviors of Void?"
Rocket Raccoon jumped onto Groot's shoulder and fired, mocking: "Quill, shut up and shoot, or go talk life with that lunatic Dominic! Maybe he'll give you a Cyclops treatment too!"
"I am Groot." Groot swung his branch-like arms, knocking down swathes of Kree soldiers.
Gamora swung her dual blades, calmly blocking several soldiers who tried to approach Ronan, while turning back and saying coldly: "Don't get distracted, the battle isn't over yet!"
Ronan stood within the protective circle of Kree soldiers, gasping for breath and looking at Dominic. His eyes were filled with shame and rage: "You... you actually brought me to this state!"
Dominic sneered, his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent: "You overestimate yourself, Ronan. A threat of your level isn't worth my full effort."
Ronan roared, commanding the soldiers around him: "Cover my retreat!" Then he leaped onto the aircraft behind him, trying to quickly leave the battlefield.
Dominic watched Ronan's retreating back, a mocking smile on his lips. He gently shook his head, his tone filled with ridicule: "Running away looks so ugly. Wanting to conquer the galaxy, yet unable to protect yourself. How pathetic."
Ronan heard this, turned back and glared at Dominic, his eyes filled with humiliation and unwillingness. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "This battle isn't over yet! None of you will escape my revenge!"
Dominic slightly raised his head, his eyes like looking at a dying ant struggling. He said softly: "Revenge? You have no chance, Ronan. You are just another loser who can't afford to lose."
Ronan disappeared into the spaceship's boarding ramp under the cover of the soldiers, and the Kree warship slowly ascended, retreating in a hurry with the remaining troops. The resistance forces of Void and the Guardians of the Galaxy stood in a pile of ruins, watching the gradually receding Kree warship. Dominic withdrew his gaze, slowly walking towards Quill and the others, only the sound of burning flames remaining on the battlefield.
