Chapter 290: Steve Chapter 287

"Ronan!"

Feeling the surging power within him, the Destroyer Drax roared and drew his twin blades, rushing at Ronan: "You deserve to die!"

Enhanced by Fang Mo, Drax's tattoos all over his body were emitting white light, making him look as formidable as Fahai, who could summon great dragons. Even Ronan, whose body had been modified with the most advanced technology of the Kree, didn't dare to face him directly and swiftly dodged the oncoming blade.

Unlike Drax's open and aggressive fighting style, Ronan's combat was about speed, precision, and ruthlessness.

After dodging Drax's attack, Ronan immediately counterattacked, propping himself up with one hand on the ground, twisting his body, and swinging his hammer in a large arc, aiming for the back of Drax's head.

Drax's head collided solidly with the warhammer, making a thud.

However, the expected brain explosion did not occur. Drax staggered a bit, then fiercely turned and glared at Ronan.

"Despicable hammer man."

Drax coldly said, "I hate men who use hammers the most, it's a fool's weapon!"

"You..."

Ronan seemed to want to say something more, but Drax didn't give him the chance to speak and charged at him, stabbing his belly with a knife.

Seeing no way to dodge this time, Ronan raised his hammer to block, but Drax's strength was incredibly huge. Ronan's own strength was measured in tons, yet he couldn't withstand even a single round in front of Drax at this moment. He blocked the knife, but the immense force sent him flying.

Ronan flew like a torn sack for hundreds of meters and then heavily crashed onto the black stone deck of the ship, creating a loud bang.

Ronan, unlike in the original story, did not possess the Power Stone, so this strike made him feel his insides churning, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Before he could recover, Drax leaped towards him with great force.

Sometimes, the momentum of a person is indeed very important.

Drax, recalling the words Fang Mo had just taught him, felt angrier the more he thought about it, wishing he could kill his opponent a thousand times over.

His momentum was overwhelming, and Ronan couldn't defend against it.

Ronan tried to emit a high-energy sonic wave from his hammer at Drax, but it had no effect on him. Drax, braving the attack, charged forward and stabbed his thigh with a knife.

"Ah!"

Ronan screamed in pain.

"I won't let you die so easily!"

Drax glared fiercely at Ronan and suddenly pointed at Fang Mo, "Him! The man who emits destructive white light with one hand! Now... he wants to use your skin."

"No, why do you talk so weirdly..."

Not just Ronan, even Fang Mo touched his forehead helplessly after hearing Drax's words: "That was just a metaphor, not literally using his skin."

"But you just said you wanted to do a ring cut on him..."

As Drax was speaking, Ronan quickly broke free, retreating while covering his leg, and shouted, "Necro soldiers! Kill them all!"

With Ronan's shout, the cabin doors opened immediately, and a large number of necro soldiers emerged, firing at Fang Mo and Drax.

However, Fang Mo didn't care about these soldiers at all. Their energy bullets were less powerful than Earth's RPG rockets, posing no threat. Drax dodged at first but soon realized these energy bullets couldn't hurt him and roared again, charging at Ronan.

Seeing this, Ronan panicked and quickly turned to run away.

But just as he started running, Drax forcefully threw a short knife at him. This collector's treasure was indeed extraordinary, piercing through the bodies of three undead warriors in succession, and then embedding itself in Ronan's knee from behind.

The tip of the knife even pierced through Ronan's bone gap, protruding from his knee.

Ronan screamed in pain, lost his balance, and fell to the ground. Realizing he couldn't escape, he turned around to attack Drax.

His high-tech war hammer was indeed formidable, capable of releasing a shockwave. In the original story, it instantly killed one of Thanos' minions, but it was still not enough to stop Drax. After all, the beacon is the core of the plane, and theoretically, Drax is like a demon from another world possessing him, something Ronan definitely couldn't beat.

As for those undead warriors.

Fang Mo just pulled out the Storm Battle Axe from behind and said, 'Kill them.' This weapon, enchanted with 'loyalty,' automatically flew out, buzzing and chopping all the undead warriors to pieces.

Soon, Drax also approached Ronan and stabbed a knife directly into his thigh.

"My wife and daughter wanted to run too, but you didn't let them!" Drax stabbed him over and over, venting his anger: "Now you can't escape..."

"This... impossible..."

Ronan, perhaps a bit irrational from the beating, spat blood and said resentfully, "I am the Supreme Accuser of the Kree, I... I haven't made the Xandarians pay the price in blood yet! You can't kill me! Otherwise, you'll be enemies of the Kree civilization! And... There's Thanos! Do you dare to offend two cosmic giants at the same time!?"

However, his threats seemed to have the opposite effect.

Drax didn't care about your Kree or Thanos. He was just a simple tough guy, not impressed by fancy words. He stabbed Ronan twice more upon hearing his threats.

But at this moment, Fang Mo raised his hand to stop Drax: "Hey Old De, step back for a bit, I have some questions to ask him first."

"Okay, then you ask."

Drax was quite reasonable in this aspect, knowing that without Fang Mo, he couldn't have his revenge, so he handed over the knife: "If he dares to lie, stab him hard in the neck with this knife!"

"Uh... well, that's not necessary."

Fang Mo took the knife handed by Drax and looked at Ronan on the ground.

Ronan, now clearly frightened, realized he had provoked someone he shouldn't have. This monster was even more terrifying than Thanos' Black Order. The cosmic tyrant Thanos was nothing compared to him. But why was such a powerful being so unknown in the galaxy?

Looking at the shiny knife in his hand and thinking of Drax's suggestion, Ronan almost instinctively wanted to protect his chest, but then felt very embarrassed.

He now probably understood how the Collector, Taneleer Tivan, felt back then.

These people were complete madmen, just like Thanos, who massacred half of a species, they were all insane. And he had provoked such a dangerous entity.

"Ronan, right?"

Fang Mo cheerfully looked at Ronan on the ground: "I heard you were looking for the Orb for Thanos?"

"That's right, I am... ugh..."

Ronan could only speak a few words before he started vomiting blood.

There was nothing to be done; Drax had just stabbed him more than thirty times. That he was still alive was a miracle, only showing how advanced Kree biotechnology was. A human would have died thirty times over.

"Don't worry, you won't die just yet."

Seeing the other party continuously vomiting blood, Fang Mo also directly pulled out his dull gold healing greatsword and stabbed it into Ronan's chest. In an instant, Ronan's eyes widened, and the immense pain almost made him faint.

However, very soon, a continuous stream of life energy began to flow into his body.

Ronan's wounds started to heal rapidly.

"What deal did you make with Thanos?" After inserting the dull gold healing greatsword, Fang Mo continued the interrogation: "Just to give him the Orb and then help you destroy Xandar?"

"How did you know?" Ronan looked at Fang Mo in confusion: "Did Thanos tell you?"

"Come, take a look at this." As Fang Mo spoke, he put on the Infinity Gauntlet, its four gems shining brilliantly: "Guess why I'm torturing Taneleer Tivan?"

"This is..."

Ronan, recognizing its significance, was stunned and then quickly realized, his face changing drastically in shock: "Infinity Stones?! And four of them?!"

"...Wait!"

After a brief moment of shock, Ronan's pupils contracted in disbelief as he looked up at Fang Mo: "Are you saying... the Orb contains an Infinity Stone?"

"What else?"

Fang Mo played with Drax's dagger in his hand: "It can't be your spoon, can it?"

Ronan fell silent.

After a long time, he finally managed to ask: "What... what do you want?"

"As you can see, I'm currently collecting Infinity Stones," Fang Mo said calmly. "The Orb has disappeared; it's not with Tivan nor with you, so I plan to have you send a message to Thanos, asking if he has already obtained the Orb."

Yes, this was a possibility that Fang Mo had just thought of.

Not many know the location of the Orb: Taneleer Tivan, Thanos, and Odin.

Now that the lead from Tivan's side was completely cut off, and Odin had long given up on collecting the stones, only Thanos remained. He was known for his obsession with the Power Stone, having first destroyed Xandar to obtain it in the original story before starting to collect the other stones.

The function of this thing is too pure, making its user incomparably powerful, and Thanos is determined to have it.

"So... Thanos' goal is also the Infinity Stones?"

Ronan couldn't help but ask.

However, before Fang Mo could speak, Drax rushed up again and gave Ronan two stabs, threatening fiercely, "Do what you're told and stop asking useless questions. I don't know who Thanos is... but the next one to die will be him!"

Ronan spat out two mouthfuls of blood from the stabbing, but his wounds healed quickly.

"I can ask."

After catching his breath, Ronan finally looked up at Fang Mo and said, "But you have to ensure... that I stay alive..."

"You know that's impossible."

Fang Mo spread his hands, "Calling me an ant doesn't warrant death. At most, I'd just skin you and have you join your men in cotton planting. But you can't get past Drax."

"I can serve you as my lord."

Ronan hurriedly said, "Don't you want to find the Orb? You only have four Infinity Stones... There are two more unaccounted for. Apart from the Orb, I can help you find another one! To make you the god of this universe!"

"Sorry, I already know where the other one is."

Fang Mo shook his head, "And as far as I know, you don't have the ability to retrieve it and bring it to me. After all, you no longer have any family, right?"

"I... I can't die yet..."

A look of unwillingness appeared in Ronan's eyes, "I haven't avenged myself yet, I haven't destroyed Xandar. You can't kill me, I'm a Kree. If you kill me, it's like opposing the Kree civilization, I..."

"Would you bet your life on the destruction of Xandar?"

Fang Mo suddenly asked.

"What?"

Ronan was startled.

"I always enjoy helping people fulfill their dreams," Fang Mo suddenly revealed a mischievous smile. "But you know, the price of every destiny has already been secretly marked... So, are you willing to bet?"

"Bet... what?"

Ronan asked somewhat bewilderedly.

"Don't you want to destroy Xandar?"

Fang Mo casually opened a portal and pulled out a coin, "So, how about this? You toss this coin. Heads, I wreak havoc on Xandar; tails, I wreak havoc on the Kree civilization. You've seen that I have four Infinity Stones, no one in this universe can stop me now... So, do you want to bet?"

"..."

Looking at the coin in Fang Mo's hand, Ronan also hesitated.

"Of course, whether you choose or not, you're going to die," Fang Mo reminded Ronan: "Unless Drax decides to forgive..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Before Fang Mo could finish, Drax roared directly: "He must die today!"

"Fine! I'll choose!"

Hearing Drax's words, Ronan also roared, stretching out his hand as if gathering courage: "Remember what you said, the holder of the Infinity Stones..."

"Wait!"

However, at this moment, Fang Mo suddenly stopped him.

"What... why?" Ronan was confused, his hand frozen in mid-air.

"First, talk to Thanos," Fang Mo said directly: "Otherwise, if you lose your composure later, calling Thanos will give it away, won't it?"

"Alright."

Ronan probably knew he was going to die, took a deep breath, and said: "Then I'll talk to him first, but I will ensure the destruction of the Xandarian civilization..."

The conversation went smoothly.

Thanos didn't notice anything unusual. Honestly, Thanos didn't take Ronan seriously, just verbally threatened him to find the Orb or else.

But Ronan didn't care about Thanos anymore.

He was about to die anyway, why fear him?

"Finally, I can avenge my father and grandfather..." Looking at the coin in Fang Mo's palm, Ronan's mindset was very heavy. After all, who isn't afraid of death? But as a warrior, he didn't want to die in an ugly way, so he shouted to boost his courage: "I, Ronan, will exert my last effort for the Kree Empire before I die!"

With that, Ronan grabbed the coin from Fang Mo's hand and threw it to the ground.

The coin bounced on the ground a few times, then spun for a while before slowly flattening out...

Revealing the reverse side, representing the Kree Empire.
