Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 243: Chapter 243



"Come on, man, 'Star-Lord' is a legendary name for a thief!" Star-Lord tried to defend himself.

"Don't be so down, brother, your nickname is pretty cool..."

...

At the Xandar Weapons Division Headquarters

"Ronan is destroying our outposts across the galaxy. Shouldn't the Kree Empire at least acknowledge this with some kind of reaction?"

In a pristine white hall, a middle-aged woman with white hair, dressed in a dark blue uniform, was angrily questioning the projection of a man in front of her.

The projection showed a middle-aged Kree man with blue skin, the same race as Ronan, and he calmly retorted, "We've signed a peace treaty, Nova Prime. What more do you want from us?"

Nova Prime, recognizing that this man was trying to wash his hands of the situation, with Ronan's actions being portrayed as merely personal, became furious. "At the very least, the Kree Empire should issue a statement condemning Ronan's actions!"

"He's massacring children!"

"Destroying families!"

However, the Kree man remained unmoved.

"Sorry, that's your problem, not ours. I've got more important things to deal with."

With that, he cut off the transmission.

"Bastard!" Nova Prime cursed.

Just then, an officer stepped in to give a report. "Nova Prime, I have some good news. We've captured one of Ronan's associates."

Nova Prime's expression shifted to one of surprise.

Ronan's associate?

She didn't seem too concerned at first. After all, it was just one of Ronan's associates, not Ronan himself.

But the officer continued the report.

"Besides this associate, Gamora, we've also found a mysterious individual among them. This person is incredibly enigmatic, and it seems their status is quite unusual. They're currently being held in our prison, but we'll need your decision on how to proceed."

Upon hearing this, Nova Prime, who hadn't been too interested initially, was now visibly astonished.

"A mysterious individual?"

"Who could warrant such special treatment?"

"Unusual status?"

Nova Prime was both curious and surprised.

...

In the Interrogation Room

Several members of the Nova Corps were reviewing the profiles of Gamora and the others as they stood in front of them.

"Gamora, surgically enhanced and trained to be a living weapon. She's also the adopted daughter of the Mad Titan Thanos. Thanos sent both you and your sister, Nebula, to work for Ronan."

"It's clear that Thanos and Ronan are working together."

After finishing Gamora's profile, they moved on to Rocket Raccoon.

"Subject 89P13, also known as Rocket, is the result of illegal genetic and neuro-mechanical experimentation on lower lifeforms."

At this point, one of the other Nova Corps members, curious about Groot, asked, "What is that thing?"

"He's Groot, a Flora colossus, a plant-like humanoid species. He's currently partnered with Subject 89P13, serving as his personal bodyguard and houseplant."

Next, they turned to Star-Lord.

"Peter Jason Quill, originally from Terra, was raised by a group of space pirates known as the Ravagers, led by Yondu Udonta."

The officer next to him commented, "What a bunch of galactic scum..."

The scene then shifted to Syd, who was still floating peacefully in mid-air with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

Noticing the attention, Syd briefly opened his eyes, glanced at them, and then closed his eyes again.

"This mysterious figure suddenly appeared in our capital of Xandar. He possesses the ability to fly and manipulate objects. His identity is unknown, though he appears to be of considerable importance, and his purpose remains unclear..."

As they watched the figure in the white robe projected on the screen, the Nova Corps officers hesitated.

Among all the individuals they had captured, this person was by far the most concerning to the Nova Corps.

They wanted to find out who he really was, but they had no leads at the moment.

It might take them several days to uncover this individual's true identity.

For now, because of his mysterious and unknown status, they dared not act rashly. Among the captured individuals, he was the most extraordinary one.

Anyone who didn't know better might even think he was just visiting the prison for leisure.

Especially since, throughout the entire time, he had remained floating in mid-air, further adding to the sense of mystique.

In the end, the Nova Corps officers came to a decision.

"Send them to the Kyln Prison..."

High above the vastness of space, in the maximum-security Kyln Prison surrounded by an asteroid field, a group of new inmates arrived.

Star-Lord and the others, their hands bound by blue high-tech restraints, walked through the corridors leading to the prison's main area.

Rocket Raccoon started speaking up.

"The criminals in here are either ruthless or insane, but fortunately, that's not my problem because I'm getting out of here soon."

He boasted, "I've escaped from twenty-two prisons already. This one's no different!"

"You should be grateful this crazy woman showed up. Otherwise, Groot and I would be counting your bounty right now, and you'd be getting torn apart by Yondu and his Ravagers."

Rocket mocked Star-Lord.

Unwilling to back down, Star-Lord replied, "I've had plenty of people trying to kill me over the years, but I'm not going to let some walking tree and talking raccoon take me down."

"Raccoon? What's a raccoon?" Rocket asked, bewildered.

"That's you, idiot!"

The two bickered a bit more, but then Star-Lord's gaze shifted toward the mysterious figure

in white floating beside him, prompting him to make a comment.

"This doesn't seem fair. Just look at him-he's treating this prison like a vacation spot!"

He gestured with his chin toward the figure.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads, and their eyes twitched in disbelief as they realized

how unfair the situation was.

The mysterious man in white was still floating in mid-air, without any restraints, and

appeared entirely unbothered by the situation, as if he was above it all.

"I think he's getting a bit too cocky!" Star-Lord muttered.

"Shut up, idiot!" Gamora snapped.

As they approached the main area of the prison, inside, a group of prisoners wearing yellow

jumpsuits was already gossiping.

"Did you hear? One of Ronan's accomplices just got thrown into this prison!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Really? We should give her a proper welcome!"

"Yeah!"

Even in a prison filled with dangerous criminals, Ronan's name stirred up intense hatred.

Soon, the prisoners spotted the new arrivals: Gamora, Star-Lord, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon.

Despite Groot's unusual appearance, the prisoners weren't fazed. In a galaxy filled with bizarre-looking aliens, this was nothing new.

However, their attention quickly shifted to the figure floating half a meter above the ground,

wearing white robes instead of the yellow prison jumpsuits. He immediately stood out...
