"Master, we've detected over a dozen spaceships following us."
Outside Contraxia, as their ship entered space, Orion's advanced monitoring system detected over a dozen Raiders' ships stealthily taking off behind them, activating their cloaking function to secretly pursue.
"Should we accelerate to lose them?"
"Let's teach them a lesson. That way, they'll remember."
Adam instantly appeared outside the spaceship and then, like a meteor, charged directly towards the Raiders' ships, which had already armed their weapons and were preparing to attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One punch, one spaceship. Explosions constantly erupted. Any spaceship hit by Adam's fist was obliterated into a pile of fragments, more devastating than being hit by a battleship's main cannon.
As for the Raiders inside the ships, there was no need to even mention them.
The moment their ships exploded, they too turned into fragments, scattering with their ships across the vast Universe.
Are Raiders good people?
In Adam's view, at least most of them were not good people; even if a few weren't bad, they could only be described as existing in a gray area.
Raiders with a bottom line adhered to the rule of not trafficking children, but they still engaged in robbery, murder, and arson.
Those without a bottom line were capable of any cruel act; as long as money could be made, they'd committed numerous massacres, not sparing even the elderly or children.
He showed mercy to Yondu and his crew because of Star-Lord, but that didn't mean he would be merciful to these greedy Raiders who were targeting him.
"I think it's best to provoke him less in the future."
Inside the spaceship, Star-Lord watched Adam eliminate hundreds of Raiders without batting an eye, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Originally, in their eyes, although Adam was terrifyingly powerful, his temper seemed quite good.
During the jailbreak at Kyln Prison, he didn't kill any guards. On the Dark Aster, even when facing the Kree, he merely took Ronan, and the other Kree soldiers were only knocked unconscious.
Just now on Contraxia, he only blocked Yondu's attacks.
He always chatted and joked with them, and never got angry at Rocket Raccoon's occasional foul mouth.
Especially since he provided both money and effort, and the purpose of bringing them together was to stop Ego's conspiracy and save the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
However, today they discovered that when Adam truly intended to kill, he was utterly merciless. Hundreds of lives vanished in an instant, without any hesitation or pity.
"I'm a little scared now!"
Rocket Raccoon touched his triangular face. He had previously mocked Adam for lacking a sense of fun and humor.
Gamora leaned against the glass, muttering, "It has to be this way. Only this way can Thanos be defeated. If one is too kind, one cannot kill someone as cruel as Thanos."
"To die like this, without pain, I think it's already very good."
Nebula touched her prosthetic eye and mechanical arm.
Every time she lost a fight with Gamora, Thanos would take away a part of her body to punish her. Half of her current body's organs had been replaced by machinery.
That kind of pain was far more terrifying than death, a true living hell.
So, deep down, she constantly wished to tear Thanos limb from limb, to make Thanos experience the pain she had endured.
"What a man, a true man!"
Drax saw Adam punch one spaceship after another and, far from being afraid, shouted excitedly, looking like an adoring fan.
He loved that feeling of direct, impactful combat.
"Stretching my muscles and bones feels pretty good!"
After spending a few seconds dealing with the Raiders' ships, Adam, who had teleported back, looked refreshed.
Solo training was ultimately not as interesting as real combat. This must be an indelible part of the Saiyan spirit.
"Is that my father? Fuck, he really is a Planet!"
Star-Lord looked at Ego Planet gradually appearing in the distance and couldn't help but curse.
Adam's eyes, however, gleamed. He felt an incredibly vast life energy from that Ego Planet.
He knew that such immense life energy, if used to grow a God Tree, would definitely yield very good god tree fruit.
And by absorbing a god tree fruit containing the entire Ego Planet's life energy, his entire life level would achieve a breakthrough.
After all, Ego Planet's life might be as ancient as this Universe, and he had even created avatars to travel almost all Planets with intelligent life in the entire Universe, collecting the genes of these intelligent beings.
Ego's Celestial power was actually somewhat similar to the Celestials' power; both were a creative force, capable of freely creating all things, even life.
The god tree fruit itself collected all the life force and life imprints of a Planet, so that upon consumption, it could make up for inherent deficiencies and allow for evolution.
And with Ego Planet's special Celestial power, and the life imprints he had recorded from his travels to various Planets, once condensed into a god tree fruit...
Although it certainly couldn't compare to absorbing all the Planets in the Universe, it would definitely be much more effective than a god tree fruit condensed from an ordinary Planet.
How good the specific effect would be, only consumption would tell.
So now, to be honest, he was actually a little excited!
"Change clothes!"
Adam waved his hand, and everyone's clothes transformed into distinctive Raiders' uniforms.
"Do you all remember what to say?"
"Don't worry, lying is second nature to us."
Star-Lord said with a confident expression.
According to Adam's plan, from now on, they were all Raiders.
Star-Lord was the leader of this Raiders team. Having learned a little about his biological father from Yondu, he brought his Raiders brothers across the galaxy to find his father.
"No problem."
Gamora and Nebula also nodded. They were originally spies, with excellent acting skills.
Rocket Raccoon, with his off-the-charts intelligence, was naturally not a problem either.
Treant Groot was a bit dull but not stupid, and only Rocket could understand his language, so it wasn't a big issue.
Finally, only Drax remained.
"Of course, I know, we're going to blow up this Planet, right!"
"I report, Drax fell asleep when you were talking about the plan earlier."
Rocket laughed heartily.
Adam shook his head:
"Never mind. I didn't expect you to act anyway. For now, I'll modify your memory."
He lightly tapped Drax's head, and all memories related to Ego in his mind were immediately sealed, then a new memory entered his mind.
Adam implanted the fabricated lie as a false memory spell into Drax's mind, so Drax would believe it was all real and wouldn't make any mistakes.
"That's terrifying!"
Seeing this, everyone's awe of Adam deepened.
Being incredibly powerful was already terrifying, but he could also erase and modify others' memories.
