Chapter 300: Chapter 300
Chapter 300: Chapter 300
Ego was skeptical that the White Knight had any connection to him, yet the man's ability to control light and his age, which seemed close to Star-Lord's, raised doubts.
Still pondering these thoughts, Ego piloted his white ship to catch up with the Milano.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Boom!
The Milano burst through the final jump point, emerging into the Solar System.
The dazzling sun and the vibrant blue Earth came into view.
Despite the stunning scene, the crew was in no condition to appreciate it. Each of them felt nauseous from the chaotic jumps, with even Groot vomiting green sap.
After some time, they began to recover, but there was little opportunity to rest.
Behind them, a fleet of Sovereign ships closed in rapidly.
"Hold tight!" Star-Lord yelled as he gripped the controls, steering the Milano toward Earth's atmosphere.
Golden laser blasts rained down around them, narrowly missing the ship.
Back on the Sovereign homeworld...
"High Priestess, this appears to be Terra," the fleet commander reported, eyeing the blue planet on the screen.
"Should we stop here?"
"Stop?"
"Ah, Terra, that insignificant little planet?" High Priestess Ayesha raised an eyebrow in brief surprise before dismissing the notion.
To her, the Sovereign were far superior to all other species in the galaxy, and the humans of Terra were utterly beneath notice.
"Pay it no mind! Continue the pursuit. Destroy the Guardians of the Galaxy!" she commanded loudly.
"But, High Priestess, I've heard rumors that this planet houses two powerful beings-one called the White Knight and the other Messiah," the fleet commander hesitated.
"Do you believe such ridiculous rumors?" Ayesha scoffed.
She was aware of the tales about two strong individuals on Terra, but she dismissed them as nothing more than baseless jokes. Like most powerful factions, she assumed the rumors were a ploy to deter them.
"Chase them down!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Without slowing, the fleet pierced Earth's atmosphere in pursuit of the Milano.
Back on Earth, organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. and various governments quickly detected the sudden arrival of the alien fleet. Even ordinary civilians could see the ships streaking through the sky.
"Oh my God!"
"Another alien invasion already?!"
"Help us! God save us!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sight of the alien ships and their laser fire triggered panic, as many immediately assumed it was another invasion.
Frustration boiled over among Earth's citizens.
"Can't we have some peace for once? Aliens, mutants, superpowered freaks everywhere— how are we supposed to live like this?!"
Meanwhile, videos and pictures of the ships went viral, spreading the news of yet another alien incursion.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
"What are we looking at here?!" Nick Fury barked as he scrutinized satellite images of the ships.
"They're not ours, that's for sure," the captured Chitauri commander remarked with a smirk. "From the look of them, they belong to the Sovereign."
"The Sovereign?" Fury frowned.
"They're a powerful and arrogant race. Just like their golden skin, they think they're above everyone else. Be careful not to offend them-or else, ha!"
Fury scowled but sensed the Chitauri wasn't lying.
Another alien force?
Frustration and anger simmered beneath his calm exterior. The audacity of these invaders, treating Earth like a playground!
"Sir, we've detected another anomaly near Earth!" a technician reported.
"What now?" Fury snapped. "Put it on screen!"
The display switched to show a white ship with a middle-aged man standing casually atop it, unprotected in the vacuum of space.
Fury stared at the image, inhaling sharply.
"What kind of freak is this?"
A man standing in space without a suit, completely unbothered?
As if sensing the attention, Ego waved at the cameras.
Looking down at the Earth, Ego couldn't help but admire its beauty once more.
"This planet is still as stunning as ever," he murmured.
A memory resurfaced.
"Recently, I sensed a force capable of altering the universe itself. Its source seemed to be here," Ego mused.
He recalled the inexplicable changes that had rippled through the cosmos not long ago. While ordinary beings might not have noticed, powerful entities like himself felt it vividly.
Somewhere on Earth, a monumental power had shifted the universe.
He remembered faint whispers of the word "fusion," though he couldn't determine who had
spoken them.
When he questioned other powerful beings, they too confirmed hearing those words.
"Who has the ability to alter the universe?"
"What secrets does Earth hold?" Ego was both cautious and intrigued.
With Quill now on Earth, Ego saw an opportunity to investigate.
On the Milano
"What do we do now?" Gamora asked, watching the relentless fleet tailing them.
Star-Lord turned to Rocket. "Hack into Earth's communication networks."
"What for?" Rocket asked, surprised.
As he spoke, he pulled out a transparent panel and began hacking effortlessly.
"We need to call out the White Knight," Star-Lord explained. "Only he can help us. I don't expect Earth's governments to do anything-if they don't nuke us, it'll be a miracle."
The crew immediately understood.
In mere seconds, Rocket completed the hack.
"Done! You're live," Rocket announced with a grin.
"You idiot, your voice just went out!" Star-Lord snapped.
"Who are you calling an idiot?!" Rocket growled back, baring his teeth.
As the two argued, their voices were broadcast across Earth, interrupting programs and
reaching every corner of the planet.
"Who are these people?"
All over the world, people froze in confusion, trying to make sense of the bizarre broadcast.
