He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 331 Infiltrating the Nova Corps Building (Second Update)

Inside the living room of the large villa.

"Finally, I can leave this place and go on an adventure!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan say that they were about to leave Xandar, Star-Lord jumped up excitedly.

Although he had a good few days, eating and drinking without spending his savings, and Gamora's attitude towards him had improved, given his personality, staying in one place all the time was too boring.

"But we still haven't bought a new spaceship."

I spent those twenty-five days eating, drinking, and exploring the entire planet Xandar, buying all sorts of random things, but I didn't buy a spaceship.

"The spaceships sold on the market are generally of average performance. I plan to find someone to acquire one of the Nova Empire's top-of-the-line spaceships."

Li Chuan smiled slightly.

"Who?"

Star-Lord's face showed a curious expression.

Based on his understanding of Li Chuan over this period of time, it was indeed Li Chuan's first time visiting Xandar and he should not know the military of the Nova Empire.

Li Chuan walked to the living room window with his hands behind his back and pointed to the towering, enormous building outside:

"New Star Supreme".

"????"

For a moment, Star-Lord didn't know how to respond.

"Uh, Captain, the Rising Star Supreme is not something ordinary people can see. I know you are very powerful, but if you try to force your way in, I don't think your chances of winning are very high."

The building where the Nova Supremes were located was not only the headquarters of the Nova Legion, but also the largest defensive fortress on Xandar. Not to mention the few of them, even if more than a hundred Raider factions joined forces, they might not be able to break through it.

"I know, so we can sneak in. I have a lot to work with her on, and I need to see her before I leave."

Li Chuan shrugged and explained.

He was well aware of the Nova Corps' strong defenses.

If the Ronan Dark Star is so powerful, why would it make a deal with Thanos to have him help destroy Xandar?

It is precisely because Xandar is the capital of the Nova Empire and has strong defenses that the Dark Star would definitely not be able to withstand it if it were to unleash its full firepower.

He only dared to launch a full-scale, open attack after he obtained the Power Stone.

In the original storyline, if Ronan hadn't used the Power Stone to destroy the Nova Corps' energy defense network, it wouldn't have been so easy to break through.

Moreover, at that time, the Nova Supreme's order was to stall for time, to allow the city's residents to evacuate to a safe area before launching a counterattack, and to remain in a defensive posture.

Otherwise, if the capital of the Nova Empire were so easily captured, Ronan would have already brought the Dark Star to attack.

Only a top-tier powerhouse like Thanos, with his fleet that is arguably the most powerful in the universe, could truly breach Xandar and forcibly seize the Power Stone.

"Soaring through the clouds!"

At the entrance of the villa, Li Chuan made a hand seal, and a white cloud rose from beneath the five of them, carrying them to the top floor of the Nova Corps headquarters building.

"Oh, this is insane! I always thought magic didn't exist."

Having spent over twenty years in the cosmos and seen much of the world, Star-Lord couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he watched the rapidly rising white clouds beneath his feet.

Although there are many aliens and alien races in the Milky Way, and some of them have all sorts of incredible abilities, it is not magic, but a special ability given by genes.

But after spending time with Li Chuan, you'll find that he doesn't have any superpowers from his genes; he actually knows magic, lots and lots of magic.

"That's because you're inexperienced. The people of Asgard in the divine realm also possess magic."

Gamora couldn't help but retort upon hearing this.

"I'll cast an invisibility spell on you. Don't speak immediately after you go inside."

Arriving at a position parallel to the top floor of the building, using their superhuman eyesight to locate the Nova Supreme, and casting illusion spells on everyone, Li Chuan and Wanda immediately Apparated away with Gamora, Nebula, and Star-Lord, disappearing from the spot.

"Commander-in-Chief, according to reports from the front lines, Ronan has once again attacked one of our subordinate planets, killing all the garrison and residents, including the elderly and children!"

At the highest level of the Nova Empire headquarters, a general angrily reported to his superiors, holding the latest battle report sent by the army.

After hearing the report, the rising star in front of him slammed his hand on the table and stood up from his seat:

"Damn Ronan, this is the third planet already! He's absolutely insane!"

Two weeks ago, considering the peace and prosperity of the entire galaxy, she agreed to the peace agreement offered by the Kree Supreme Intelligence and formally ceased hostilities with the Kree Empire.

However, less than five days after the agreement was signed, one of their subordinate planets was attacked by a fleet led by Ronan the Accuser, a high-ranking military official of the Kree Empire, who brutally massacred everyone on the planet.

The Kree Empire's response was that Ronan was dissatisfied with the Supreme Intelligence's signing of a peace treaty with the Nova Empire and had already defected, leaving them with no recourse.

"Roman, can't we send a fleet from the border to wipe him out?"

"Commander-in-Chief, General Richard said that the fleet on the border of the Kree Empire has not withdrawn, so I suggest that the fleet on the border should not move."

Roman shook his head.

"Ronan's Dark Star is known for its speed and its combat power is second to none in the Kree Empire's fleet. Even if we call on the border fleet to surround and capture him, it will be difficult to catch him if he is determined to escape."

Moreover, to ensure an overwhelming victory over Ronan's army, three fleets must be deployed to the border. This would mean that if the Crees violated the peace treaty and attacked, the border would be indefensible.

Perhaps this is exactly the outcome the Supreme Intelligence desired.

"So we just let Ronan attack our zodiac sign?"

The new star supreme was even angrier upon hearing this.

Roman gave a wry smile and suggested:

"At present, we can only ask the garrisons of the major planets to be on high alert. Once Ronan is spotted, they should issue an alarm as soon as possible and then send the garrisons of the nearby planets to provide support."

Or perhaps we should wait until we are truly certain of the Kree Empire's sincerity regarding the peace agreement before sending a fleet to encircle and annihilate Ronan.

"That's the only way."

The New Star Supreme thought for a moment, then sighed and nodded.

Given the current situation, this is the only option. However, considering the planets that Ronan destroyed and the countless lives within those planets, there may be more people killed by Ronan because of this decision.

She felt truly guilty.

But as the supreme leader of the empire, she must learn to sacrifice the small for the greater good, and make decisions that align with the interests of the majority.

"Captain, you see, just as I said, this is how the higher-ups behave, no matter which planet it is."

Just as Roman was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out in the office of the Nova Supreme.

"Who?"

As expected of the commander-in-chief of the capital, Roman immediately activated the alarm device on his waist and drew his energy gun to protect the Nova Supreme.

"Quail, it's a matter of perspective. Actually, from her position, it's not necessarily wrong."

Li Chuan dispelled the illusion spells on everyone and appeared by the office window.
