The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 254 Guardians of the Galaxy

Collectors are known for their fervent pursuit of rare items and their immense wealth, and this bounty is staggeringly high, enough to drive any space pirate mad.

In the void, countless greedy eyes were drawn to the bounty. One after another, spaceships of various shapes and exuding a dangerous aura, like sharks attracted by the smell of blood, left the void and sailed into the vast universe to search for the cosmic orb.

The owners of these spaceships come from different planets and races; some are ruthless pirates, some are cunning and resourceful adventurers, and others are desperate outlaws who will stop at nothing for wealth.

Driven by their own ambitions and desires, they traverse the universe, leaving no stone unturned in their search for any possible clue to the cosmic orb.

Weiss stood quietly in a corner of the void, gazing intently into the distance.

He knew the story had already begun.

Star-Lord will arrive here soon, carrying the Power Stone, which contains immense power.

That cynical yet fearless wanderer of the universe will surely unleash a breathtaking storm upon his arrival.

Wes stood quietly in the void, his expression calm, but a hint of anticipation flickered in his heart as he patiently awaited Star-Lord's arrival.

Time passed quietly, and before long, Star-Lord and his crew caused a huge uproar in the Void.

"Damn greenskins, hand over the Orb!" A raccoon, Rocket, wielding an energy gun, his eyes blazing with fury, kept firing at Gamora, the green-skinned woman.

The energy blasts streaked through the air in dazzling streaks of light.

Gamora is incredibly agile; she moves with the ease of a nimble cheetah through a hail of bullets.

No matter how accurately the rockets were aimed, she always managed to dodge those deadly attacks.

"You have no idea what this thing is!" Gamora shouted as she dodged the attacks.

"I am Groot".

A tree-like creature, Groot, about three meters tall, stood there grinning innocently, his smile pure and simple, seemingly oblivious to the chaos around him.

"Idiot," Rocket yelled, "Grab her!!"

The rocket's goal was clear: to sell the Sphere of the Universe for a high price.

However, just as they were about to close the deal with the buyer, Gamora unexpectedly stole the Orb of Destiny.

Groot obeyed Rocket's orders perfectly, and his arms quickly extended like two agile giant pythons, wrapping around Gamora.

Although Gamora's hands were bound, she continued to struggle, trying to break free from Groot's restraints.

"Let me go, or we'll attract Thanos."

Gamora cried out anxiously, knowing full well how terrifying Thanos was; if he were lured there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I don't care about Thanos," Rocket said firmly, pointing his gun at Gamora. "I only care about money."

"Biu~biu~" Just then, a masked man appeared, wielding two guns and firing continuously at Rocket and Groot in mid-air. He was Star-Lord.

Groot quickly wove a shield to block Star-Lord's attack.

Gamora seized the opportunity to break free of his restraints and turned to run away.

"Thank you," Camorra said, then quickly left.

"You're welcome, but you have to leave your things behind." Although Star-Lord had his eye on Gamora, he felt that money was more important.

"Damn it!" Rocket angrily began to retaliate.

The four of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle, their energy blasts weaving together in the air to form a dazzling net of light.

The Guardians of the Galaxy had not yet been formed; everyone had come together for various reasons, and it was inevitable that they would fight each other due to differing ideologies.

"Haha, a bunch of idiots." Drax stood aside watching the show.

However, when he was hit by a stray bullet, he angrily joined the fight.

"Catch them! The collector has issued a bounty!" Several raider squads surrounded the five like hungry wolves.

Not only that, the Void Guard also joined in, each of them well-equipped and menacing.

The five were forced to temporarily set aside their differences and join forces against the enemy.

The five individuals have highly complementary abilities.

The rockets provided powerful firepower, and the energy gun in his hand continuously fired deadly energy bullets, deterring the enemy from approaching easily.

Gamora is like a ghostly assassin; she is agile and moves among her enemies, delivering a fatal blow unexpectedly.

Groot excels at protecting and controlling enemies. He weaves a sturdy shield with his body to protect his teammates, while using his long arms to entangle enemies and restrict their movements.

Drax was thick-skinned and incredibly strong. Like a ferocious beast, he charged into the enemy ranks, swinging his massive fists and knocking his enemies off balance.

Star-Lord is an excellent marksman and strategist. He is skilled in various strategic methods and calmly commands the battle, making him the core of the five.

The five of them, working together, managed to drive hundreds of people back in defeat.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Wow!" Star-Lord exclaimed, "This feels amazing! We should form a team!!"

The other four also felt a tacit understanding between each other during the battle; they were as well-coordinated as if they had cooperated countless times.

This tacit understanding made them thrive in battle, and it also made them start to think about whether they should really form a team.

More and more raiders and space pirates, like sharks smelling blood, rushed in from all directions.

They either piloted bizarrely shaped spaceships or rode ferocious alien beasts, and each of them had a gleam of greed and fanaticism in their eyes.

Star-Lord and his four companions are indeed very powerful; they demonstrated extraordinary strength and courage in the battle.

However, the people of the Void are no pushovers; they are people who live on the edge of a knife.

These people have experienced countless life-or-death battles; they are all ruthless and experienced.

Moreover, the bounty for capturing Star-Lord and his five companions, along with the Orb of Destiny, was astonishingly high—enough for them to squander for several lifetimes. This enormous fortune acted as a massive lure, drawing them recklessly towards Star-Lord and his group.

Wave after wave of enemies surged in like a tide, some wielding energy weapons and firing wildly.

Some brandished sharp weapons and engaged in close combat;

Others unleash various strange energy attacks, dazzling the eye.

Although Star-Lord and his four companions fought valiantly, their stamina was rapidly depleting, and they gradually showed signs of being unable to hold on.

Their movements began to slow, and their breathing became rapid. Sweat soaked their clothes, and exhaustion and pain began to erode their bodies.

Ultimately, they were surrounded by hundreds of people and found themselves in dire straits.

They stood back to back, warily watching the enemies around them, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to put up a final stand.

Just then, a series of whooshing sounds pierced the sky, and hundreds of warships appeared in the air.

These warships came in various shapes and sizes, some as large as behemoths, others small and agile.

Their cannons gleamed as they began to unleash their firepower.

Both Star-Lord and the Raider are within the attack range.

The powerful firepower rained down like a storm, blasting the ground into craters.

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
