"Who's there?!"
Seeing Adam suddenly appear beside the Commander, the surrounding Nova Empire soldiers immediately raised their energy guns warily, all pointing them at Adam.
Adam raised a hand, and a wide-range Expelliarmus was activated, causing all the weapons in the soldiers' hands to fly out automatically.
"I am not your enemy. By wasting time like this, you will only cause more people to die."
"You said you could help solve the problem, but how?"
Nova Prime on the screen, as expected of the Empire's leader, was quick-witted and immediately asked the crucial question.
Since the Eighth Legion was already beyond saving, the identity of this newly appeared You-Know-Who was no longer important. What mattered was whether he could truly help solve the problem and save the Eighth Legion.
"I'll help you get rid of Ronan and deal with all his subordinates. You help me clear the criminal records of a few people. Oh, you might not recognize them. They are the ones who broke out of Kyln Prison."
Adam replied with a smile.
The process of him taking Star-Lord and the others from Kyln Prison that day must have been captured by the prison's surveillance, and it would be easy to find out.
Indeed, Nova Prime immediately gave a look to the General beside her.
The General quickly sent someone to deliver the relevant intelligence about Kyln Prison, and only then did Nova Prime realize that Adam was the You-Know-Who who had previously knocked out the Kyln Prison guards and orchestrated the prison break.
"No problem. As long as you can help save the Eighth Legion, I will clear all your criminal records, and from today onwards, you will be our Nova Empire's distinguished guests!"
For her, the crimes committed by Star-Lord and the others were not too heinous, and Adam did not cause any fatalities during the prison break, so the condition he proposed was naturally not an issue.
"Very good. Then, you all now fully activate your defenses and hold on for a while. The rest is up to me."
Adam nodded and disappeared from the spot using Apparition.
Using the same method, he soon entered the enormous Dark Aster warship.
"Gamora and Nebula are here too?"
Looking at Gamora and Nebula talking to Ronan, Adam's face showed a surprised expression.
He hadn't expected that Ronan had already colluded with Thanos at this time.
After all, he remembered that the Guardians of the Galaxy story should have taken place five or six years later.
However, on second thought, it made sense. At that time, Ronan and Thanos were already very familiar with each other, and Ronan had also massacred many Planets of the Nova Empire, not even sparing the elderly and children.
In fact, it's normal for some things to change in different Universes.
In some Universes, Black Panther even became Star-Lord, and Thanos joined the Guardians of the Galaxy and became a good person. This small deviation is nothing.
"Excuse me, would you mind stopping your attack on the Nova Empire's Eighth Legion?"
Adam revealed himself and said with a smile to Ronan, who was standing there directing the fleet's attack.
It's always polite to speak before acting; going straight to fighting would be somewhat unethical. He was now a powerful individual with some strength, so he couldn't act like before; he needed to have some grace.
"What are you?"
Ronan turned to look at Adam, a puzzled expression in his eyes, then asked Gamora and Nebula:
"Are you with them?"
"No."
Gamora and Nebula shook their heads.
"Seize him and find out how he got onto the warship."
Upon hearing that he wasn't Thanos's man, Ronan immediately ordered the Accuser beside him.
A non-Kree, who could silently infiltrate the Dark Aster and even reach the main control room, made him somewhat curious.
Hearing Ronan's command, the Accuser immediately led the Kree soldiers towards Adam.
"Indeed, I knew it would be like this. You were the first to make a move, so this is called legitimate self-defense."
Adam raised a hand:
"Shinra Tensei!"
Instantly, a powerful repulsive force erupted from his hand. Not only the Accuser and the soldiers he led, but everyone in the entire main control room, including Ronan, Gamora, and Nebula, were struck by this sudden repulsive force, flying violently and crashing into the nearby metal wall.
And with this, the entire Dark Aster immediately sounded a piercing alarm, and the attack on the Nova Empire's Eighth Legion also ceased.
"I will have you dead!"
Ronan climbed up from the ground, picked up the Kree War Hammer in his hand, and used the same force field attack against Adam.
To prevent the repulsive force from being too strong and directly blasting a hole in the warship, Adam had significantly reduced the power of that Shinra Tensei, so it only cleared out the minor soldiers.
For beings like Ronan, Gamora, and Nebula, whose physical qualities far exceeded ordinary people, they only sustained minor injuries.
"The Kree Empire's divine Universal Weapon, that's somewhat interesting."
Feeling a powerful force field erupt from the Kree War Hammer in Ronan's hand, directly charging towards him, Adam waved his hand and flattened that force field.
The Universal Weapon, which is the Kree War Hammer in Ronan's hand, is one of the highest technological achievements of the Kree Empire.
It can manipulate cosmic energy, achieve matter decomposition, matter recombination, and object deformation according to will, and can also emit shockwaves, absorb energy, control gravity, and create force fields.
It can even carry the Power Stone and unleash its powerful energy.
the Accuser Ronan's great reputation comes half from his powerful physique and combat abilities, and the other half from the Universal Weapon in his hand.
Seeing Adam block his force field attack with a wave of his hand, Ronan's expression changed. He immediately adjusted the gravity in Adam's area, applying a twenty-fold gravity suppression to Adam.
However, twenty-fold gravity?
For the current Adam, it was like walking on flat ground, having no effect whatsoever.
"Ronan, right? You'd better not resist; that way, you'll suffer less."
Adam, enduring the twenty-fold gravity, calmly walked towards Ronan.
Ronan's pride was stung by Adam's contemptuous gaze. He immediately roared, leaped up, and, raising the Kree War Hammer, immediately used a powerful downward strike, preparing to smash Adam's head with one blow.
However, Adam, seeing this, merely extended a finger calmly and held back the war hammer that was smashing towards him. Even though Ronan had already activated the shockwave on the war hammer, it made no difference at all.
Ronan's combat power in the Universe was indeed not weak, but that was only against normal cosmic beings; he couldn't even defeat Black Captain Marvel.
And Adam's current strength had long surpassed Black Captain Marvel by an unknown number of times. Even if he stood still and let Ronan attack, Ronan couldn't harm a single hair on him.
To be able to harm him now, one would at least need to be at a single-Universe level.
"As Madara would say, do you also wish to dance?"
Just then, Adam suddenly smiled slightly and activated Expelliarmus and a dancing spell behind him.
It turned out to be the sisters Gamora and Nebula, who, while Adam and Ronan were fighting, had circled behind him to launch a sneak attack.
"How can this be?"
Gamora's dagger and Nebula's stun baton simultaneously flew out of their hands, and then both began to dance in place.
