Chapter 252

[1500PS REACHED!! Next Goal: 2000PS!]

"These things don't belong to you."

"Hand them over!" Ronan demanded.

However, his answer came in the form of a gaze from Syd, one that regarded him as if he were a fool.

Noticing the mockery in Syd's eyes, Ronan became furious, a cold smile forming on his lips. "You want to die? I'll grant you that wish!"

The next second, he gave the order. "Destroy him. Fire!"

Witnessing this, Star-Lord and the others were filled with dread.

"We're doomed…" Rocket muttered, covering his face in despair.

After this mysterious man in white was killed, they knew they would be next.

Suddenly, the weapons on the hovering spacecraft began to glow.

Then, pale green energy bullets started shooting out from the weapons.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like a rainstorm, the barrage of energy blasts was aimed straight at the figure floating in midair.

Just as Star-Lord and the others were sinking into despair, the barrage of energy bullets, which they believed to be unstoppable, was effortlessly blocked!

The four stones continued orbiting the mysterious man in white, but surprisingly, he wasn't even using the Infinity Stones. He merely lifted his right hand lightly.

A red light radiated.

A layer of red energy formed a barrier around him, shielding him from the barrage.

The pale green energy bullets relentlessly slammed into the red barrier, but no matter how intense the barrage became, the shield remained unshaken, showing no signs of cracking or breaking.

The figure remained floating, surrounded by the four Infinity Stones, as though nothing was happening at all.

"Quill… Am I hallucinating?" Rocket muttered.

"No, I don't think so. What you're seeing is real because I'm seeing it too…" Star-Lord replied, stunned.

"Yes, I see it as well," Gamora added.

Watching the scene unfold, they were all left in disbelief.

What kind of power is this?

Someone could withstand the bombardment of hundreds of spacecraft with just their own strength?

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would've thought anyone telling this story was insane.

Star-Lord hesitated, "Is he using the power of the Infinity Stones?"

The scene was so unbelievable that he couldn't help but entertain this thought.

Rocket and the others shared the same suspicion.

Maybe this was the power of the Infinity Stones?

That would at least explain it.

But as they were considering this, the experienced Collector, Tivan, shook his head and explained, "No, that's not the power of the stones—it's his own power."

"When the stones release energy, they emit a distinct glow."

"Each stone also has a unique nature. This red energy shield doesn't match the characteristics of any of the four stones…"

"The only one that might be similar is the Reality Stone, but that stone bends and temporarily alters reality. This red shield doesn't fit its traits…"

And he hadn't even touched the Infinity Stones…

Listening to the Collector's explanation, Star-Lord and the others had to come to terms with the shocking reality—the red energy shield wasn't from the stones but from the man's own abilities.

But that was the most shocking part!

"You're telling me this shield was created by a person?" Star-Lord pointed at the red energy barrier, which stood firm under the barrage of pale green energy bullets, feeling as if his understanding of the world had been shattered.

Rocket had similar thoughts, questioning if they even lived in the same reality as this man, given how absurd everything was.

While they were still reeling from shock, the pilots in the spacecraft and even Ronan himself stood frozen in disbelief.

Back at Nova Corps headquarters, Nova Prime and her team were equally dumbfounded.

On the battlefield.

"How are you doing this?" Ronan shouted in disbelief.

Syd glanced at him, uninterested in responding, and instead felt a slight annoyance.

The constant barrage of energy blasts was becoming bothersome, as maintaining the shield required continuous consumption of light energy.

In the next moment, he decided to retaliate.

"I say… let there be light."

The voice, imbued with divine power and rhythmic resonance, echoed across the desolate landscape.

What's happening?

Everyone—Ronan, Nova Prime, Star-Lord, and the others—was confused.

Then, the next second, they understood.

The dimly lit wasteland, shrouded in darkness due to the lack of a nearby sun, suddenly bathed in light.

Golden beams of sunlight illuminated the area!

The bright rays transformed the previously gloomy, eerie land into something radiant and beautiful.

For a moment, everyone was dazed, as if they had been transported to a sunny morning on a world basking in sunlight.

"What have you done?" Ronan asked, his voice trembling with shock.

He wasn't alone. Everyone was staring at the white-cloaked figure in disbelief, their hearts filled with awe.

Looking at the impossible sight before him, Star-Lord's emotions swirled, and he muttered, "Is this guy a god?"

Rocket murmured, "The crazy things I've seen today just keep piling up…"

"This…" Gamora extended her hand, feeling the warmth of the sunlight.

It was warm and pleasant.

"This is real sunlight!" she exclaimed in shock.

Back at Nova Corps headquarters.

Nova Prime and her team watched in stunned silence.

As they stood in awe of the unprecedented display, the unimaginable occurred.

Syd looked up at the sunlight and, with a mere thought, caused the light bathing the entire wasteland to coalesce into a blinding beam.

In an instant, the once-illuminated wasteland plunged back into darkness.

Everyone watched in stunned silence as the radiant beam shot skyward, so bright that even though it hurt their eyes, they couldn't look away.

What was he going to do?

The next moment, they saw it.

The beam of light sliced through the sky at unimaginable speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the spacecraft were cut apart by the beam, crashing and exploding.

In that instant, the sky was filled with bursts of fiery red, like fireworks.

Watching the spacecraft get obliterated by the beam and then seeing the white-cloaked figure rise above them, now looking down at them from above…

Soon, all the spacecraft had been destroyed, and the terrifying beam faded away, as sunlight once again gently returned.

As they gazed at the figure floating high above, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the four Infinity Stones, they almost believed they were witnessing a god.

"You…" Ronan muttered in disbelief, staring at the sight before him.
