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

Xandar, Nova Corps Building, Nova Supreme Office.

Li Chuan sat opposite the Nova Supreme and presented three conditions for killing Ronan:

"First, I need you to release these two people in the Malag prison."

The Nebula mechanical eye flashed, and virtual images of Rocket and Groot were projected onto the table.

Nova Supreme turned to look at Roman, who used the device on his wrist to scan the virtual images of Rocket and Grote, and soon the records about the two were retrieved.

"Rocket, subject 89P13, a lower organism resulting from an illegal gene-simulation experiment."

"Okay, no problem. I'll give the order over there, and you can go and pick them up."

After listening to Roman's report on the fire and Groot's information, Nova Venerable agreed without hesitation.

Neither of them were heinous criminals, so letting them go was fine; their actions were incomparable to the harm caused by Ronan.

"Secondly, I want the fastest and best-performing spaceship in your Nova Corps. Ronan's Dark Star is very fast; ordinary spaceships can't keep up with it."

Of course, I won't take it for free. Give me an estimate and I'll pay for it.

Li Chuan continued.

The rising star didn't refuse this offer either, and in fact, he was very generous:

"You don't need to pay. As long as you can kill Ronan, I can give you not just one, but ten spaceships."

"Very well, then let's make it one last thing. If I get my hands on Ronan's Dark Star, I hope you can help me make some modifications so that our Guardians of the Galaxy can use it in the future."

Similarly, I will cover the renovation costs.

Li Chuan nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the leader of the New Star Empire, he was not petty at all.

Ship-class spaceships are extremely large, and naturally require a large number of professional pilots to operate them perfectly. He didn't have that many people under his command who could pilot ship-class spaceships.

Therefore, to properly control the Dark Star, it is necessary to have the Nova Empire assist in making certain modifications and installing intelligent control programs to control the entire spaceship.

In this way, the spaceship can act according to his will as long as he gives the order.

However, it also has a major drawback: the spaceship is controlled entirely by an intelligent program, which makes it less flexible in attack and defense than it can be operated by professional personnel.

If a battle were to actually break out, it would be extremely difficult to win against a spaceship of the same level.

But this didn't bother Li Chuan, because if it were a battle against a ship-class spaceship, he would go himself and wouldn't need the Dark Star, which was just an auxiliary vessel.

Another point is that the Dark Star is a Kree Empire ship that contains a large amount of Kree civilization technology. Without modification, it would be difficult to use in many aspects.

He also considered using the Mind Scepter to control the Kree soldiers and make them serve him.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized the risk was too high and it wasn't worth it.

With so many Kree soldiers, who can guarantee that one or two won't accidentally break free from the Mind Stone's control in the future, and he won't even realize it then? That would be a huge hidden danger.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's last condition, the Rising Star Supreme paused for three seconds before smiling and saying:

"If, if you are lucky enough to seize Ronan's Dark Star, we will modify the Dark Star for you free of charge, and you will also be a permanent ally of our Nova Empire."

In her view, this was impossible. Perhaps Li Chuan and his group could infiltrate the Dark Star and assassinate Ronan, but to seize the Dark Star, they would have to deal with the tens of thousands of elite Kree soldiers inside.

However, if it actually succeeds, that would be even better. While helping to modify the Dark Star, they could also take the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the technology inside the Kree ships, which would be helpful in the war after the peace treaty ends.

At the end of the conversation, the Rising Star Supreme also smiled and uttered a harsh statement:

"Mr. Li Chuan, I now have great faith in your Guardians of the Galaxy, but I hope you won't play me for a fool, otherwise all five of you will be permanently wanted and imprisoned for life by our Nova Empire!"

She didn't care about the spaceship or the release of the two criminals, but there would definitely be a price to pay for deceiving her.

Li Chuan responded with a smile:

"Don't worry, I believe you can locate and contact the spaceship at any time. As soon as you have any news about Ronan, send me the location directly, and I will get there as quickly as possible to take him down."

"This is the spaceship you wanted, and according to your requirements, its appearance has been modified to resemble the Marauder spaceship."

At the Nova Corps' ship manufacturing base, Roman pointed to a brand-new ship on the platform in front of him and introduced it.

Seeing this, Li Chuan nodded in satisfaction:

"Please thank the Supreme Lord for me, and let me know if there's any news about Ronan."

After greeting Roman, Li Chuan waved to Wanda and the other three behind him:

"Let's go! Destination: Malag!"

As soon as the five boarded the spaceship, Star-Lord began shouting excitedly.

"As expected of the Nova Corps' most advanced spaceship, look at these seats, look at these control panels, oh, it even has a warp drive! It's amazing!"

"Since you like it so much, you can have this spaceship."

Seeing this, Li Chuan patted Star-Lord on the shoulder.

Star-Lord's eyes widened immediately:

"What? You're giving this to me?"

"I can't fly a spaceship, and besides, didn't you lose the Milan when you joined our Guardians of the Galaxy? Let's call this one the Milan!"

Li Chuan smiled.

"To be honest, Captain, what you're doing is quite touching."

Star-Lord touched the driver's seat, his face showing a look of pure satisfaction.

His original Milan was just a Raider general-purpose spaceship; the combined value of a hundred of them probably wouldn't be as high as this spaceship meticulously built by the Nova Corps.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that perhaps even if it wasn't for Gamora, joining the Guardians of the Galaxy would still be a good choice.

"Alright, enough with the sentimentality, let's get going, Captain Quill."

Li Chuan waved to Star-Lord, then pulled Wanda and turned to walk towards the best room inside the spaceship.

"Captain Quill, that title sounds absolutely fantastic!"

Star-Lord sat in the pilot's seat, and after a series of skillful maneuvers, the Milan spaceship transformed into a streak of light and shot out of Xandar.

After Li Chuan and his five companions left in their spaceship, Roman returned to the top floor of the Nova Corps building.

"Commander-in-Chief, do you really think they can kill Ronan?"

"It's hard to say. Don't underestimate Earthlings. You've forgotten that a large part of the reason the Kree Empire was willing to take the initiative to conclude a peace treaty with us was because of that Earthling named Captain Marvel."

The New Star Supreme looked at Li Chuan's information in his hand and spoke slowly.

For years, within the Kree Empire, there has been a powerful Earthling named Captain Marvel fighting for the planets enslaved by the Kree, which is why she couldn't concentrate her full strength when fighting the Nova Empire.
