Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

Secondly, the wooden puppet technique had previously kicked him, shattering all his defensive defenses and breaking half of his bones.

How could he possibly control the Power Stone under these circumstances?

The moment his fingers touched the Power Gem, the terrifying power shattered them, leaving countless cracks.

The crack was spreading at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, he looked like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

Even so, Ronan still refused to let go of his hand, still refused to give up the power that was within his grasp.

So Peter casually lifted his right foot.

It landed firmly on Ronan's head.

Click!

The chilling sound of bones cracking echoed clearly across the deathly silent Dark Star.

Ronan, the supreme accuser of the Kree Empire, didn't even get to utter a single unnecessary word before his entire body exploded like a ripe watermelon.

A gust of wind blew, and countless fragments scattered in the air, causing everyone present to gasp in shock.

"He... just trampled Ronan to death like that?"

"That's Ronan! Even before the Power Gem amplified him, he wasn't someone we could easily deal with!"

"Just who is that Earthling?" Yondu's eyes widened in surprise.

I wondered if Earthlings were really that terrifying.

"Wow~ I can't believe that the big guy was smashed even more completely than me!"

Suddenly, a voice, though very weak, still couldn't hide its servility, rang out.

Upon hearing this sound, Gamora and the others were startled and then let out a scream at an extremely high decibel level.

Star-Lord, who had been struck by the Power Stone's energy and was covered in cracks, somehow managed to get up from the ground.

His body was still covered in cracks, but he spoke as if nothing had happened.

When Destroyer saw this, he thought Star-Lord had come back to life. Looking at his muscular body, he suddenly jumped into Groot's arms like a little woman.

"I am Groot~!" Groot was also startled, jumping up and down on the spot, almost stepping on the tail of the rocket.

Gamora's eyes welled up with tears. Ignoring everyone's stares, she threw herself into Star-Lord's arms, pounding her fists on his back.

"You're still alive? That's wonderful!"

"Cough cough!" Star-Lord coughed with difficulty.

"That...it seems like he's almost dead!"

While the Guardians of the Galaxy were having a blast, Peter ignored the shock and commotion of the others present.

He simply picked the Power Gem up from the ground again.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his ear.

[Golden sacrificial item detected: Power Gem]

[Power Stone: One of the six Infinity Stones formed at the birth of the universe, possessing boundless energy and immense combat value]

[Sacrifice will earn 300000 points]

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... hundred thousand?!

Upon seeing that exaggerated string of zeros, Peter couldn't help but gasp.

My goodness, 300,000 yuan!

Although the numbers were staggering, after a brief moment of shock, Peter recovered and couldn't help but mutter a complaint:

"No way, system. I remember when I took Gungnir from Loki, that thing could provide 150,000 points."

This Power Stone is the most powerful of the six Infinity Stones, and you only offered 300,000 sacrifice points?!

The system remained silent for a moment, then responded:

[This item is indeed worth more than 300,000 sacrifice points, but it is too dangerous for ordinary people to handle, therefore there is no market for it.]

"You can't just offer 300,000! With that little money, I might as well hoard it myself!"

After waiting for a few seconds, the system indeed changed the price.

[System vulnerability detected, currently being fixed...]

[Sacrifice will earn 400000 points]

"System, do you want to fix it again?"

Peter waited a long time this time, but never received a response.

Fine!

It seems that 400,000 is the limit of the system's bid.

Although he still felt he had lost out a little, Peter still chose to sacrifice himself.

The main reason is that he doesn't really need the Power Gem.

Because Power Gems can only amplify the power of other gems, but cannot amplify the power of other energy systems.

In other words, even if Peter keeps the Power Stone, it's just another Power Stone mode that can't be mixed with other energies.

This is rather pointless for Peter now.

After all, whether it's the resonance of the two gods, cosmic energy, or the Celestial genes that are about to be obtained, the combat power they can unleash is actually no less than that of the Power Stone.

Moreover, because he has the Horse Talisman, he doesn't lack stamina at all.

Furthermore, keeping the Power Stone in his own possession could make him a target for Thanos, potentially giving him an opportunity to snap his fingers.

This was more harmful than beneficial to Peter.

Therefore, rather than leaving the gems to be coveted by Thanos,

It would be better to sacrifice it and replace it with a more comprehensive combat system, thereby completely extinguishing Thanos's desire to snap his fingers!

Chapter 299 Making a Big Mistake: The Restless Skrulls

With this in mind, Peter did not hesitate any longer and immediately gave the order:

"System, sacrifice the Power Gem!"

The moment he finished speaking, the Power Gem in Peter's hand vanished into thin air.

Not even a trace of energy remained.

Instead, Peter's sacrifice value balance skyrocketed by a whopping 400,000!

This bizarre scene once again caused an uproar among the people present.

"Where are the gems?"

Ilani's voice trembled with anxiety.

"Mr. Peter, that's a dangerous item that could destroy an entire galaxy!"

"There's no room for carelessness!"

Peter dusted off his hands—there was no dust at all—and then gave the rising star a friendly smile:

"Relax, Ms. Ilani."

"I just thought that little thing was too dangerous, so I sent it to a place where no one could reach it."

"From now on, anyone who wants to get their hands on this gem will only be indulging in wishful thinking."

"Even if Thanos himself came down, he wouldn't be able to find out the exact location of the Infinity Stones."

Hearing this confident assurance, and recalling Peter's terrifying combat prowess in easily overwhelming Ronan,

Ilani's tense nerves finally relaxed.

After all, Peter could easily deal with even the terrifying Ronan, so they naturally had no right to question Peter's decisions too much.

If they really displease this big shot, their Xandar planet might face a second catastrophe.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions!"

Ilani breathed a long sigh of relief, then excitedly stepped forward and took Peter's hand:

"Mr. Peter Parker, thank you for your outstanding contributions to Xandar."

"You not only saved Xandar, you saved the entire Milky Way!"

"To express our respect, the Nova Corps will immediately host a celebratory banquet of the highest honors for you in the capital!"

"The gates of the national treasury will also be open to you, and we will offer you anything you need with open arms!"

Peter naturally wouldn't refuse such an extremely generous reward.

But instead of leaving with Irani immediately, he went to Star-Lord's side, whose body was still covered in cracks:

"Looks like you need some help."

As he spoke, he didn't care about Star-Lord's reaction and simply placed his hand on Star-Lord's shoulder.

The next second, the power of the horse talisman activated.

A soft white light enveloped Star-Lord's entire body, instantly restoring his cracked body to its original state.

"WTF!" Star-Lord couldn't help but swear.

"Are you really from Earth? Why is it that we come from the same planet, yet I've never seen such bizarre power before?"

"Child, there are many things in this world that you cannot understand!"

Peter patted his shoulder lightly, then revealed a shrewd, almost cunning smile and said:

"Now, let's get down to business. How do you plan to settle the cost of curing you?"

Star-Lord: ? ? ?

"It wasn't a buddy, I thought..."

"Did you think this was free medical care from Alicca?" Peter looked at him with a mocking expression.
