Clang, clang, clatter...
Natasha and Adam Warlock were fighting fiercely.
As time passed, the balance of the battle clearly tipped toward Natasha.
If Adam Warlock's combat IQ were high enough and he was willing to give up close-quarters grappling, turning instead to rely on his speed and flight advantage to launch aerial attacks against Natasha, Natasha might honestly not have been able to do much to him.
But who made Adam Warlock in this Universe the same naive fool as in the movie Universe.
Completely carried away, Adam Warlock had no concept of tactics at all, only thinking of defeating the other person using the exact same method as Natasha.
At first, the two of them could fight to a standstill, but as time passed, the chill released between Natasha's moves and actions gradually seeped into Adam Warlock's body.
Affected by the chill, Adam Warlock was no longer as agile as he had been at the start of the battle.
In the end, he was even toyed with by Natasha using a Stand-like technique called "Mirror Mountain", and then frozen into a block of ice with a descending move called "Ice Zhu Slash".
After freezing Adam Warlock, Natasha leisurely walked back to Peter's side and looked at Daisy, saying:
"It is your turn."
Watching Daisy take over and walk toward Adam Warlock, smashing the thick layer of ice with a single punch, Star-Lord and the others couldn't help but sympathize with Adam Warlock.
This was purely a case of a third mother educating a son!
This was only because Adam Warlock was immature in mind and had a good enough mentality.
If it were really replaced by some proud imperial warrior who roamed the Universe unbeaten taking such a hit, wouldn't they snap their neck and commit suicide on the spot!
Just as they were thinking this, they heard the miserable howling of Adam Warlock coming from afar.
Compared to Natasha using the chill to slowly invade the body, Daisy's combat style was much more brutal.
Once the terrifying Quake seeped into the body, it would bring about violent vibrations throughout the entire body. Even if the bones weren't shattered on the spot, the muscles would lose their explosive power under high-frequency tremors.
After a few punches of vibration, Adam Warlock felt like he was about to wet himself.
That scream sounded just like Tom the cat.
And it was even the version with a physiotherapy device attached, making even the screams come with electronic distortion.
He couldn't beat them, he simply couldn't beat them...
Adam Warlock's anger and impulse rapidly cooled down in the face of the absolute gap in strength.
Realizing that he was simply no match for these pretty older sisters and had no possibility of completing the task given to him by his mother, sorrow welled up inside him, and he let out bursts of crying and howling with electronic distortion.
This howling completely stunned Daisy:
"Hey, stop crying. Isn't it just sparring? I didn't plan to kill you anyway. Since you failed, can't you just obediently go home?"
Kind-hearted Daisy couldn't help but comfort Adam Warlock, her heart filled with guilt.
Oh my, the person is already silly, and you're still teasing him... what a sin!
Comforted by Daisy like this, Adam Warlock howled even more miserably, stuttering between words:
"If I can't take that raccoon away, Mama will beat me to death!"
Seeing that Adam Warlock was howling louder and louder, Daisy clearly couldn't handle it anymore, so Peter brought people to his side and said:
"Hey, Little Sugar... Uh, Golden Boy, I have a good idea to keep Mama from beating you. Do you want to hear it?"
The effect of these words was immediate. Adam Warlock immediately stopped crying and howling, looked at Peter with sobs, and asked skeptically:
"Do you really have a way to make Mama not beat me?"
"I never lie." Saying this, Peter put his arm around this fellow's shoulder and spoke in a deeply seductive tone:
"Actually, it's very simple. As long as you take us to see Mama, and let Mama realize that it's not that you didn't try hard, but that we are simply too strong. That way, Mama naturally won't think it's your fault, right?"
Hearing this, Rocket couldn't help but want to retort:
"Thanks bro~ Who on earth would do such a stupid thing of inviting wolves into the house..."
"Brother, what you said makes sense!"
Adam Warlock's eyes lit up, his little eyes full of the brilliance of wisdom:
"But you have to promise me that you will really explain to Mama that this mission failure is not my problem."
Slap~
Rocket heavily slapped his own forehead, feeling that he was also an absolute idiot.
...
Ten minutes later, on the spaceship flying toward Orgocorp.
Watching Star-Lord and the others chatting and laughing, Rocket continuously appeared restless.
Long after, he finally made up his mind and said:
"Guys, I think this is a wrong decision!"
As soon as Rocket said this, everyone present fell into silence, one after another sizing up Rocket with strange gazes.
Star-Lord couldn't help but shout:
"Hey, what stupid nonsense are you saying? These guys wanted to kidnap you. If we don't retaliate, then what kind of Guardians of the Galaxy are we."
"But Orgocorp is not some random nobodies we faced before. The technology and military force they hold are enough to easily crush everyone present here." Rocket slammed the table angrily.
"You talk as if you've been to Orgocorp. If they were really that powerful, would they only send trash like this to deal with us?"
Star-Lord retorted to Rocket with an indifferent expression, not forgetting to point at Adam Warlock, who was touching things here and there inside the cabin.
Star-Lord took this as the usual banter among their team, but unexpectedly, his words touched the most sensitive nerve in Rocket's heart, and he suddenly became irritable, roaring:
"Yes, I fucking have been to Orgocorp! Not only have I been there, but I myself even escaped from there. Are you fucking satisfied now that I've said this?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly froze, and everyone looked at Rocket with incredulous eyes.
Long after, Star-Lord couldn't help asking:
"Why did you never mention any of this to us?"
"Because I didn't want to mention those hellish memories to anyone, and even I myself am unwilling to recall those experiences." Rocket painfully covered his head, his mood instantly dropping to rock bottom.
Long after, Rocket began to recount his past of being used as an experimental subject by the High Evolutionary to undergo various experiments back then.
Simply put, Rocket back then was an experimental animal in the High Evolutionary's laboratory.
There, he met three animal friends: Walrus Yaya, Rabbit Banban, and Otter Lylla.
They once made a pact to escape the laboratory together.
During an experiment one day, Rocket casually pointed out an error in the High Evolutionary's experimental steps. He originally thought doing so would earn the High Evolutionary's attention, thereby helping his companions reduce their pain and gain freedom.
Unexpectedly, his actions instead triggered the High Evolutionary's jealousy.
As a mad scientist pursuing perfect evolution, he could not accept that Rocket, as his own creation, crushed him on the intellectual level.
He therefore decided to kill Rocket and transplant Rocket's brain.
This hunt targeting Rocket ultimately led to the tragic deaths of all of Rocket's friends, with only Rocket narrowly escaping the laboratory alone.
After hearing Rocket's account, the scene inevitably fell into a long silence.
Long after, Star-Lord reached out and gently gave Rocket a hug:
"Idiot, why didn't you say these things sooner? If you had spoken up earlier, we would have gone and kicked that idiot's ass long ago!"
As Star-Lord made this gesture, Gamora, Drax, Groot, and the others successively crowded in for a hug.
Even that fellow Adam Warlock looked at the group, and a moment later also silently squeezed in.
Watching this scene from the side, Peter couldn't help but speechlessly retort.
Talk about replicating a classic scene...
