Chapter 242: Chapter 242
Chapter 242: Chapter 242
The figure floating in mid-air seemed to be doing so by his own power, without any assistance from their vehicles. As the Nova Corps officers observed him, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder.
After some hesitation, they decided to proceed with the plan to arrest this mysterious man floating in the air.
Under the gaze of Star-Lord and the others, the mysterious man in white calmly spoke, "I advise you not to do this."
This time, he made no effort to disguise his voice.
In an instant, the mysterious and ethereal tone of his voice echoed through the surroundings, leaving everyone in a daze.
No one had ever heard such a voice before-mysterious and profound, almost as if it belonged to a divine being.
The Nova Corps officers, preparing to make their arrest, felt the weight of his words most intensely.
With his words, the invisible pressure he exerted on them grew heavier.
As they gazed upon the figure floating above them, they felt as if they were standing before someone of immense status.
It was as though they were mere mortals, while this person was a being from the heavens!
Yes, although this figure had done nothing in particular, they instinctively felt that he was above them.
And at that moment, their attempt to arrest him felt like a sacrilege, an act of disrespect... The sheer sense of this being's superiority caused discomfort and left them deeply unsettled.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
Who was this being?
Why had he come to their planet Xandar?
What were his intentions?
The Nova Corps officers were filled with unease and uncertainty.
It wasn't just them-Rocket Raccoon and the others, who had been in a state of despair, were also filled with shock.
"Oh, for crying out loud, who is this guy?" Rocket muttered in disbelief, his mouth hanging
open.
In all his life, he had never encountered anyone who could make him feel so insignificant just by looking at them.
The sheer aura of divinity emanating from this person made Rocket realize that this guy was definitely someone of incredible importance.
Of course, this was all just his conjecture. He couldn't yet be certain of the figure's true identity.
There was too little information about this person to form any solid conclusions.
Maybe, once this guy revealed more of himself, they'd have a clearer idea of who he was?
Rocket's curiosity piqued as he pondered this.
Nearby, Gamora's expression was constantly shifting. Not even Thanos had ever made her feel this way.
The pressure this figure exerted seemed far greater than that of her adoptive father, Thanos. While Gamora was filled with questions about the mysterious figure's identity, Star-Lord and the nearby Xandarians were having similar thoughts.
In fact, because of the overwhelming aura of mystery surrounding this person, Star-Lord even entertained the unbelievable thought that perhaps the Nova Corps ships and officers- whom he had considered unbeatable-might be no match for this man.
As this thought crossed his mind, Star-Lord almost laughed at himself, shaking his head. How could that be possible?
It was just this man's mysteriousness giving him an illusion of invincibility.
After all, no living being could possibly stand up to such advanced weapons and technology.
Even one of these ships could turn a person into Swiss cheese with a single shot!
While Star-Lord and the others were lost in their thoughts and the Nova Corps officers remained uncertain about how to handle the situation...
Syd furrowed his brow, lost in thought.
He was considering whether to simply leave.
After a moment of reflection, he glanced at Star-Lord and the others in the distance and made a decision-he would stay for now and see how things unfolded.
After all, it didn't matter where he trained to improve his strength, and he was feeling a little bored. This could be an opportunity to observe Star-Lord's antics firsthand.
Moreover, Syd realized that if he simply left with the Orb, it could trigger a chain reaction, potentially preventing the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy, or even causing the deaths of some key members.
This was entirely possible-without the Orb containing the Power Stone, Star-Lord, Gamora, and the rest of the Guardians would have no chance of defeating Ronan.
It was very likely that some of them would die...
Syd shook his head quietly.
If they disappeared, it would cause a series of events to spiral out of control, and the timeline would drastically change. The advantage of knowing the future would be lost entirely.
Although his presence had already caused some shifts in the storyline, he still wanted to keep things as stable as possible.
With this in mind, he turned his gaze to the hesitant and unsure Nova Corps officers.
"I will go with you."
The mysterious voice echoed softly.
In the next moment, whether it was Star-Lord and the others, the Nova Corps, or the surrounding Xandarians, everyone looked stunned.
They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Wasn't this powerful figure supposed to resist arrest and leave forcefully?
What was going on?
Everyone was in disbelief, even the Nova Corps officers.
They had already been debating among themselves whether they should try to stop him when
he eventually left, but they never expected this...
The Nova Corps officer, who had earlier declared Star-Lord and the others guilty, hesitated
and asked, "You'll come with us, for sure?"
Syd nodded slightly.
After exchanging uncertain glances, the Nova Corps officers cautiously approached, unsure of
what to do next.
Before they could act, Syd added, "You lead the way, and I will follow."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, the officers hesitated but ultimately decided to play it safe. This man's identity was unknown, and he appeared to be someone of great importance. Better to get him back to headquarters and figure things out from there.
With that decision, they refrained from making any further moves.
The Nova Corps led Star-Lord and the others ahead, while Syd hovered half a meter above the
ground, silently following them.
Watching this, Star-Lord looked at the Nova Corps officer restraining him and immediately
felt indignant.
"Hey, this isn't fair..." he grumbled.
The Nova Corps soldier beside him, trying to lighten the tension brought by Syd's presence, smirked, "Hah, you'd better behave, Prince Star..."
Star-Lord corrected him, "It's Star-Lord!"
"Oh, my bad, Star-Lord," the soldier teased.
He then turned to his fellow officers and explained, "Yeah, I've caught this guy before for
petty theft. That's his nickname..."
