Chapter 358: The Debut of the Guardians of the Galaxy (Third Update!!!)
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
Inside the Enterprise's bridge, dazzling red lights flashed, and the Enterprise's voice, soft with a hint of neutrality, also sounded a warning.
"Alarm, alarm."
"Detecting numerous spaceship signals."
"Detecting numerous spaceship signals."
Gwen, who had been observing the quantum asteroid belt, snapped back to reality, glanced at the flashing red warning light, and quickly looked at Hawke.
"Hawke."
"It's fine."
Hawke didn't even frown: "Is the data collection complete?"
After Gwen heard about the quantum asteroid belt here, she wanted to come and observe it, record some data, and then bring it back to Earth.
After all, the quantum state here was observable in the Universe.
The data was extremely valuable.
Gwen glanced at the data collection progress on her new computer.
"Forty-five more minutes."
"Okay."
Hawke responded, already seeing a spaceship rushing towards them in the distance, followed closely by golden, small combat drones: "Don't worry, they won't disturb us."
With that said.
He took a step, and when he reappeared, he was fifty kilometers in front of the Enterprise.
"Holy sh*t!"
"Jesus Christ!"
"What is that?"
Star-Lord Peter Quill and Rocket Raccoon, who were piloting their spaceship and dodging attacks from Sovereign starfighters, suddenly saw a figure appear in front of them, suspended silently in the Universe, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Drax the Destroyer and Gamora, who were behind them, also looked forward at Star-Lord and Rocket's exclamations.
The next second.
They saw a brilliant golden light burst forth from Hawke's body, and then, a figure bathed in dazzling golden light seemed to step out from Hawke.
gold cloth—
Aries!
The Aries gold cloth, illuminated by starlight, flowed with a luster like golden honey, its spiraling horns on its forehead condensed the power of the stars, and its shoulder pads flowed with the unextinguishable flames of a constant star.
Immediately after!
The moment Hawke raised his right hand, the Aries gold cloth, also projected and materialized, raised its right hand.
His voice was deep, but even in the vacuum of space, it still echoed through this part of the Universe.
"Crystal Wall!"
"Crack— "
Billions of diamond dust particles burst from his fingertips, and ripples of seven-colored light bloomed in layers across the star-filled sky.
A special technique from the Aries Palace of the Zodiac!
"Holy sh*t!"
"Quick, Quill, stop!"
"Don't stop, it's too late, charge through, charge through!"
"Boom!"
When Star-Lord and the others saw the Crystal Wall beginning to condense in front of them, the entire cockpit immediately descended into chaos. Star-Lord and Rocket reacted instantly, accelerating the engines, and almost simultaneously with the large-scale Crystal Wall forming, they passed through it.
However, the tailfin of their spaceship was still grazed by the coalescing Crystal Wall, and with the burst of brilliant flames, Star-Lord and the others' spaceship instantly lost power.
But they were fortunate.
Because the Sovereign's gold unmanned remote fighters were not so lucky. As one Sovereign fighter after another crashed into the Crystal Wall, in an instant, the Crystal Wall seemed to explode with countless dazzling Suns.
The sound of continuous explosions was incessant.
Of course.
If the sound of explosions could travel in the vacuum of space.
Unfortunately, it couldn't.
When the last Sovereign fighter, unable to evade or, rather, completely unable to evade, crashed into the Crystal Wall and emitted a dazzling explosion, Hawke also retracted his right hand.
The projected and materialized Aries saint cloth also disappeared.
The Crystal Wall also disappeared, leaving behind only a large area of wreckage formed by the debris of Sovereign fighters.
The next second.
Hawke's gaze fell on the spaceship, which had lost power and was drifting in the Universe.
His seventh sense had already enveloped this spaceship.
Then... he saw Star-Lord Peter Quill, who looked no different from a human, and was the extreme opposite of Captain America, who was 'a mortal body, comparable to a god,' being 'a demigod, comparable to a human.'
There was also Gamora, with green skin, a tall figure, sharp eyebrows, short black hair, and keen eyes, one of the last of the Zehoberei tribe.
Drax the Destroyer, who was extremely tall and burly, with red skin covered in intricate black relief-like tattoos, wearing only a simple vest and pants.
Of course.
There was also Rocket, who looked like a Raccoon, and the small Treant Groot.
Finally, Nebula, whose body was mostly replaced by cold blue mechanical parts, with only a few patches of skin remaining, but she seemed to be restrained.
This was the famous Guardians of the Galaxy?
Well, well.
Met them here?
When Hawke came to Xandar, he was still wondering if he might meet the Guardians of the Galaxy.
As it turned out... he didn't meet them on Xandar, but when he and Gwen were about to return to Earth, they ran into them here instead.
Interesting.
Hawke's seventh sense swept over the people in the spaceship, thinking to himself, his expression calm, his gaze unwavering as he looked at the grounded spaceship in front of him.
At this moment, the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy inside the spaceship were also looking through the spaceship window at Hawke, who was suspended in space outside.
All of them had wide eyes.
Peter was in disbelief.
"He doesn't have any protective gear."
"He doesn't need it."
Drax the Destroyer stared intently at Hawke: "Peter, this is a male god."
Gamora said: "The male god you speak of just eliminated a Sovereign drone legion with a single move, Rocket, can we fix our spaceship?"
Rocket quickly ran diagnostics on the spaceship.
"Power lost."
"Look, the male god moved."
Everyone quickly looked.
Upon seeing.
Hawke had now also withdrawn his gaze from the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship, and the moment he turned, he instantly returned to the Enterprise.
A distance of fifty kilometers, on Earth, is a very long distance.
But when viewed on a cosmic scale, fifty kilometers is a very short distance, even one that could be said to be within reach.
So Gwen had also seen everything that had just happened.
And with the help of the enterprise, Gwen also saw the spaceship that had lost power and was drifting in the Universe.
Gwen looked at Hawke, who had returned.
"That ship seems unable to fly anymore."
"Hmm."
Hawke, back beside Gwen, turned his head to look at the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship, projected and magnified by the enterprise: "The power module was severed. Without any surprises, it won't be able to fly."
Gwen blinked at his words.
"Shouldn't we rescue them then?"
"Rescue?"
Hawke raised an eyebrow, looking at Gwen: "You want to rescue them?"
Gwen nodded: "Of course, during space travel, if you encounter a distressed spaceship, you must offer assistance. It's a principle."
Hawke was stunned.
"Is there such a principle?"
"Of course there is, it's in this booklet."
Gwen said, taking out a cosmic handbook that a Nova Corps inspector had given them for free when the Enterprise departed.
The handbook contained a simple introduction to the Planets in the Xandar system, as well as some of the Nova Corps' philosophies.
To put it simply, if one out of a hundred spaceships visiting Xandar agreed with their philosophy, that would be the best reward.
Clearly.
Gwen highly approved of the Nova Corps' righteous and orderly philosophy.
Hawke looked at the booklet Gwen took out, smiled, and then glanced at the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship, which couldn't call for rescue because it was in an empty area: "Alright, the Captain has spoken, so let's rescue them."
With that said.
He summoned the Enterprise, and then, the Enterprise flew with a whoosh above the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship. Then, the Enterprise's lower deck opened, releasing a tractor beam, slowly pulling the spaceship below into the Enterprise.
With a whoosh, the spaceship's hatch opened inside the Enterprise. The members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, armed with weapons, cautiously stepped out of the hatch, their eyes scanning the smooth walls and the silver-white space before them.
Just then.
A projection descended from above, landing in front of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
It was the enterprise!
The enterprise's projection appeared as a business woman in a suit with her hair tied in a ponytail.
"The adjacent repair room has the equipment you need to repair your spaceship."
"You can repair your spaceship here."
"Mr. Rocket, Mr. Groot, the Captain would very much like to meet you, if you agree."
"Wait..."
As soon as the enterprise spoke, Star-Lord immediately interjected, frowning as he looked at the projected enterprise: "Why do you want to see Rocket and Groot?"
The enterprise's tone was calm: "Because the Captain wants to."
Mainly, Gwen had never seen a talking Raccoon and a small Treant, so she found it particularly novel.
As for the other three, and a restrained cyborg?
Gwen wasn't very interested.
Rocket Raccoon, holding his weapon, said to the enterprise: "If your Captain wants to see me, then have him come here, or we'll all go together."
Hawke, in the bridge, chuckled as he looked at the Raccoon on the big screen, then looked at Gwen: "See, you saved them, and they don't seem to appreciate it."
Gwen rolled her eyes at Hawke: "Any normal person, seeing your attack just now, would be scared."
Hawke smiled.
"So what now?"
"Then let them all come over. I'm quite curious about the green-skinned, pointy-eared one too."
"Alright!"
Hawke nodded, then with a thought.
The next moment.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
All the weapons on the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who were on the lower deck, were disarmed, including a sharp blade Gamora had hidden in her long boot.
Gwen was now under special protection, and Hawke didn't want any accidents to occur.
The members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, seeing their weapons disarmed in the blink of an eye, instantly panicked.
But just then.
The enterprise spoke.
"The Captain is on the bridge. Please follow me and do not touch anything."
"This way, please!"
