Rocket Raccoon was trembling all over from the electric shock.
Su Zhan rummaged through Star-Lord's belongings and found the power stone, which was a sphere; the true power stone was inside it. "Thanks!" Su Zhan patted Star-Lord's shoulder and put away the power stone.
Two Infinity Stones!
"Give it back!" Star-Lord shouted, firing at Su Zhan, but a telekinetic magnetic field suddenly appeared around Su Zhan, completely blocking the bullets. At this moment, Gamora also rushed over. Seeing that the person who had just taken advantage of her had taken the Cosmic Orb, she naturally wanted to snatch it back.
She still didn't know what the item was.
But she needed it to escape Ronan and Thanos's control.
Gamora and Star-Lord attacked simultaneously, but Su Zhan, facing two opponents, was remarkably relaxed. He kicked Star-Lord away and sent Gamora flying with one hand—uh, though he accidentally squeezed that spot again while sending her flying.
"You, stay far away and wait for me here with my ship. I'll be back after I look around," Su Zhan suddenly said to Lorelai.
Lorelai didn't understand what he meant. What did he mean by waiting for him here, that he'd be back after looking around? The power stone was already in hand, wasn't he planning to leave?
Just then, Lorelai suddenly saw members of the Nova Corps approaching in the distance. Only then did Lorelai understand his meaning, but she didn't understand why.
Quietly moving further away, a light appeared around Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Su Zhan. This light slowly lifted them into the air, controlling them.
"This should be some kind of gravity-like force; it's not particularly strong." Su Zhan sensed it but didn't struggle, allowing the light to take him away.
As he left, he even smiled at Lorelai.
At a Nova prison, Su Zhan and the others were led in, then identified one by one. When it was Su Zhan's turn, the Nova Corps members were somewhat surprised.
"Su Zhan, from Earth, leader of the War Alliance, codenamed War King. Not long ago, he killed Magneto, a powerful Mutant from Earth, and destroyed his organization. You... you should be a hero. Why are you mixed up with them?"
The Nova Corps member asked Su Zhan, puzzled.
Su Zhan smiled: "I didn't expect your intelligence here to be updated so quickly! As for why I'm mixed up with them, I naturally have my purpose, and you'll know it soon enough. So for now, just lock me up with them."
"Alright." Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't mind sending Su Zhan to prison with them.
Nova Empire, Kyln Prison.
Many heinous criminals were imprisoned here. Su Zhan and the others were escorted in and saw many prisoners in jumpsuits along the way, each with fierce eyes and ferocious expressions, and there were cheers and shouts, as if some new toy had arrived.
In places like prisons, it's dog-eat-dog, whether on Earth or elsewhere, it's all the same!
"Who exactly are you?"
Gamora turned her head and asked Su Zhan.
"Yeah, who exactly are you?" Star-Lord asked angrily, following up.
Su Zhan couldn't be bothered with the clown Star-Lord, and smiled at Gamora, saying, "I'm from Earth. My name is Su Zhan."
"Why did you steal the Cosmic Orb? To sell it for money? Ronan wants this thing, Thanos wants it. No one dares to take it. Give it to me, and I can share the money with you. Four billion, I'll give you two billion!" Gamora said in a low voice.
Su Zhan smiled, then suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Don't think I don't know, you want to take it to the Collector, hoping to escape Ronan and Thanos, right? To some extent, our goals are consistent."
Gamora's expression changed slightly, then she calmly said, "You have a way to leave here?"
"See that Raccoon in front? He's an escape expert. It won't be hard to leave here," Su Zhan said with a smile.
"I feel like you have everything under control. You clearly could have avoided being caught, so why?" Gamora asked.
"Because of you!" Su Zhan said with a grin.
Gamora frowned, clearly not quite believing him.
"Alright, it's rare to come here, so I might as well have some fun, and then incidentally... solve a problem and recruit a few subordinates." Su Zhan shrugged. Gamora actually believed this reason.
Chapter 0215: Recruiting Underlings in Prison
"So, do you want to consider following me?" Su Zhan asked with a grin.
"Following you? I don't think you can defeat Thanos or Ronan!" Gamora scoffed.
"Thanos, well, I can't say for sure right now, but there will be a battle sooner or later. As for Ronan, that's no problem. I believe Ronan should know you betrayed him by now, right? So he will definitely come for you because he wants the Cosmic Orb. So, if I kill Ronan, that should prove my strength, right?"
"You're not joking?"
"I'll take that as a yes. Remember, if I kill Ronan, you'll follow me from now on." Just then, they arrived at their respective cells. Su Zhan said this, then walked in with a grin.
The cell wasn't big and seemed very sturdy. After a short while, it seemed to be recreation time. Su Zhan went out for a stroll, still very curious about this cosmic prison. But he hadn't walked far before he was stopped.
Three crude, ugly guys blocked Su Zhan's path.
"Newbie, do you know the rules here?"
"Every newcomer has to receive our welcome gift!"
The three men grinned, holding homemade knives. Clearly, the so-called welcome gift was meant to teach Su Zhan a lesson.
Su Zhan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "If someone dies here, does no one care?"
"This is a prison, only criminals are locked up here. Criminals killing criminals, why would they care! So, if you don't behave, even if we kill..." One of them said arrogantly, but before he could finish, he felt a tightening around his neck. Su Zhan had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Since killing people is fine, then you can die." With a snap, Su Zhan had broken his neck and then casually threw him away.
The remaining two never expected the seemingly weak Su Zhan to be a killing god. He killed so decisively. They turned to run.
"Whoever runs, dies!"
Su Zhan's voice drifted softly, and the two instantly froze, not daring to move.
"No, don't kill us, we were wrong, we didn't know who we were dealing with." The two didn't even dare to turn their necks, trembling as they pleaded for mercy.
"I'm too lazy to kill you. Move that guy's body. I hate trouble, so if anyone asks, you should know how to answer," Su Zhan said.
"Yes, yes, we know, we know."
"Get out of here."
After Su Zhan finished speaking, the two felt relieved and quickly carried the man's body away, disappearing from Su Zhan's sight.
Su Zhan thought of Gamora. As Thanos's adopted daughter and Ronan's ally, she had many enemies, including Drax the Destroyer. His entire family was killed by Ronan, and since Gamora was Ronan's ally, he surely wanted revenge.
This Destroyer Drax was a notorious wanted criminal in the galaxy. Although his strength was not comparable to Ronan's, he was still very strong. While not as strong as Thor, he was considerably stronger than an average Asgardian.
He was also one of his recruitment targets.
Since he was making a trip to the galaxy, it would be truly inexcusable not to abduct a few subordinates!
Recruiting him would be relatively simple. Although he was strong and powerful, he was simple-minded, so as long as he prescribed the right medicine, it should be very easy.
