Primogenitor in Marvel

Chapter 241

"Damn it, these monsters are going to destroy the entire prison," said Peter as he watched how, on one side, Monica was strong enough to break through the reinforced wall.

And on the other hand, Ronan was resistant enough to be used as a battering ram without being crushed.

Suddenly, the prison shook violently as a hole opened directly into space.

Immediately, many Sakarians who were surrounding them were sucked out.

Peter's group, consisting of Peter, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax, immediately held on tightly as they felt their bodies being sucked.

Monica, who was beating Ronan to a pulp, suddenly turned her gaze towards Gamora and the rest of the group and realized their situation—if she didn't save them, they would probably die.

Looking at Ronan, she quickly kicked him with all her might, feeling the bones in her chest breaking as he was launched toward the next wall.

With the threat of Ronan eliminated, Monica quickly returned to the rest of the group to protect them.

With her magic circle in her hand, a bubble protected them from the vacuum of space.

"Phew, thanks," said Peter, breathing rapidly; for a moment, he thought he would be sucked out.

"We need to leave now; it doesn't seem like they're going to stop the bombardment until the prison is destroyed," Rocket said quickly.

"Let's go to my ship," Peter said promptly.

"Tell me where," Monica said, nodding.

"Over there," Peter said, pointing in the direction.

The whole group quickly advanced through the prison until they reached where the prisoners' ships were kept.

"There's my ship," Peter said, pointing to an orange ship.

The group quickly boarded the ship before Peter took off at full speed, leaving the prison behind.

Before Monica could react, Peter entered hyperspace, leaving the place behind.

"What are you doing? They still have the orb," Monica said angrily.

"Do you still think about that orb? Even if you defeated Ronan, there's still a whole army," Peter said.

"Stop the ship immediately; I need to go for the orb," Monica said, frowning.

"Peter, stop the ship," Gamora said.

"Are you crazy?" Peter said, annoyed, as he exited hyperspace.

"Quickly, we must go back; something very bad will happen if we leave it like this," Gamora said seriously.

She didn't know if Ronan was still alive, but she knew it was easier to take the orb from Ronan than from Thanos.

Peter had no choice but to turn the ship back towards the prison.

"Do you know that we will not only face Ronan's army but also the Nova Corps?" Peter sighed.

Rocket could only scratch his head in exasperation, but it wasn't his ship to fly as far away as possible.

Groot didn't care about anything, and Drax was still unconscious after the beating he took from Ronan.

"Darn it, the orb is moving," Monica frowned as she detected her magical mark moving quickly away from the prison.

"Shall I stop?" Peter asked.

"Yes, give me a moment; I need to assess the situation," Monica said, closing her eyes and focusing on the magical mark she had left on the orb.

Monica's vision immediately shifted to the surroundings of the orb, giving her a 360-degree view.

Her mouth almost dropped in surprise as she saw Ronan in a tank filled with black liquid.

It would be more correct to say that she felt him since the liquid didn't allow her to see him directly.

The orb was in Nebula's hands, and thanks to that, she could see it; she was really surprised at how quickly he seemed to be recovering.

Monica disconnected her perception and bit her lip lightly, thinking.

The situation didn't seem very good; normally, she could teleport to her magical mark, but Ronan's ship was currently in hyperspace, and she didn't dare to try.

Unlike her father, she wasn't immortal.

If Ronan recovered and used the Infinity Stone, even she would have to take it very seriously by invoking all her relatives because she didn't know how strong he would become.

"Darn it, I just wanted to have some fun, why did things escalate like this?" Monica muttered, annoyed.

"Is something wrong?" Peter asked, seeing her expression.

"Shut up," Monica said angrily; if he hadn't fled immediately, he would have the stone in his hands.

Peter just pursed his lips, feeling offended.

"What are we going to do now?" Gamora asked, looking at Monica.

"We can only wait; his ship is in hyperspace; I don't think we can catch up," Monica said.

''Ronan survived somehow, I had crushed his chest, when he recovers he will surely try to use the stone, I guess he knows what it is or not?" asked Monica looking at Gamora.

"Until the moment I left his side, he didn't know what was inside the orb; I don't know now," Gamora said, shaking her head as she stood with her arms crossed.

"What stone? What are you talking about?" Peter frowned.

"The Infinity Stones are the most powerful objects in the universe; the stone in the orb must be the Power Stone," Monica explained.

"And as you would expect from the name, if Ronan has it, he will become much more powerful; I'm not even sure if I can defeat him if he has the stone," Monica frowned.

"So, you still think you can beat him?" Gamora asked, surprised.

"Hm, maybe, I really didn't try my best before," Monica said.

"By the way, what are you?" Rocket asked, looking at her.

"She's Damian's daughter," Gamora said.

"That Damian?" Rocket asked, amazed.

"That's right," Gamora said.

"Wow, Damian sent you, and Thanos sent you, both after the same object, that would be a fight I'd like to see," Rocket said excitedly.

"It would be more anticlimactic than you think," Monica said, smiling slightly.

"What do you mean?" Gamora asked, slightly frowning.

"Of course, I mean that my father would crush Thanos," Monica said, looking at Gamora.

"You know, I hate Thanos, but I recognize his strength; he's definitely not as easy as you think," Gamora said, shaking her head.

"It would be a tough fight if my father felt like playing," Monica said.

Rocket and Peter just stared at them speechlessly as they argued about whose father was stronger.

A few hours passed, during which the group just waited.

Suddenly, Monica's magical mark alerted her, causing her to close her eyes and focus.

Her vision cleared just in time to see Ronan emerge naked from the black liquid.

"..."

Two Kree quickly arrived and helped him get dressed.

"Nebula, do you know what's inside?" Ronan asked.

"An Infinity Stone," Nebula nodded, eager to see the world burn.

"I see, that's why he wanted it so badly," Ronan nodded as he extended his hand towards Nebula.

Nebula handed over the orb to Ronan without hesitation while looking at him curiously, wondering what he was going to do next.

Ronan smiled slightly as he looked at the orb, and at that moment, Korath arrived, telling Ronan that Thanos needed him.

With more confidence, Ronan walked over to the projector, where Thanos' face appeared in an oversized display.

"I have the orb," Ronan said upon reaching Thanos.

"Bring it before me," Thanos commanded.

"Well... you see, before I didn't know it was an Infinity Stone. Now that I know what it is, I don't think I need your help anymore, so our deal can be canceled," Ronan said, looking directly at Thanos.

"Boy, be careful what you say," Thanos replied with a deep voice.

"Master, Thanos is one of the most powerful beings in the universe," Korath said, sounding concerned.

"And soon... so will I," Ronan said, breaking the orb and revealing the bright purple gem inside.

Ronan placed his hand on the orb, extracting the gem, and immediately screamed in pain as he felt the gem destroying his body.

It almost seemed like the rock was testing him, feeling the pain. Ronan quickly extended his hand toward Korath, who immediately handed him his weapon.

Ronan forcefully struck the gem against his weapon, causing them to merge.

With his weapon sharing the burden of the stone, his body finally passed the test, and a small wave of purple energy exploded around him.

The damage done to his body was completely reversed, and a sensation he had never felt before began to emerge.

Ronan looked at his weapon with the embedded gem before feeling his body, now filled with power.

"With this power, I will destroy Xandar and then come for you," Ronan said, looking at Thanos' projection before shutting it off.

"Change course to Xandar," Ronan ordered Korath.

Monica opened her eyes again in Peter's ship with a serious look. Things had really taken a turn for the worse.

"We're heading to Xandar; Ronan is going there to destroy everything," Monica said.

"I think that's a good reason why we shouldn't go, at least do you have a plan?" Rocket asked, looking at her.

"Something like that," Monica nodded.

"We'll inform the Nova Corps of Ronan's attack, infiltrate Ronan's ship, I'll fight him while you guys destroy the ship."

"Easy peasy," Monica smiled at them.

"You forget a small detail: if you lose the fight, we all die, and you're not even sure you can win," Peter frowned.

"It's too risky, but we have no other choice; we have to stop Ronan, who knows what he'll do if we leave him be," Gamora said, crossing her arms.

"We need more than just wanting to do it," Peter said, rubbing his hair in frustration.

He also understood the need to stop Ronan, but if he didn't see a feasible plan, he wasn't willing to just go and die.

"I have an idea," Peter suddenly said, a plan coming to mind.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

"We can ask for help from Yondu, with the Ravagers and the Nova Corps, we have much more opportunities."

"I think I could reach an agreement with him; the reward for the orb is two billion, if we give him half, he'll help us," Peter said, considering the fact that Monica could pose a big enough threat for Yondu not to be too greedy.

"He knows about the orb?" Gamora asked, looking at Peter.

"Originally, it was something we were going to do together, but I went ahead and tried to sell the orb alone," Peter said, smiling awkwardly.

"I'm surprised you've lived this long," Gamora said, looking at him in disbelief.

"By the way, where is the orb supposed to be sold?" Monica asked, a bit confused; not many people could fetch that much money.

"About that, it was actually your father who set that price for the orb," Gamora said uncomfortably, as she had been keeping it a secret.

"What!" Monica exclaimed.

"Dad," Monica muttered angrily; she would definitely make him pay when she returned.

"Then let's do it; offer Yondu a billion, and we'll sell the orb when we recover it from Ronan," Monica nodded.

Although perhaps she could do it herself, she wanted to minimize the damage Ronan's army could do to Xandar. Besides, who sends their father to offer a reward? That money would be her punishment.

"Alright, I'll get in touch with Xandar and Yondu," Peter nodded.

The rest of the group began to prepare for battle.

Peter approached the console before calling Yondu.

"Boy, you've got guts to call me," Yondu said with an angry look.

"Yondu, tell me, do you know what the orb is and where to sell it?" Peter asked.

"I already know," Yondu said, his expression turning grim at the mention of the orb and imagining the money he lost because of Peter.

If only he had brought the orb, they would all have gone to Knowhere and received the money.

"The orb is with Ronan, and he's on his way to destroy Xandar," Peter said.

"Many things have happened; besides setting a price for the orb, Damian also sent his daughter; she snatched the orb from me and almost killed Ronan."

"By chance, Ronan managed to escape with the orb, and now she wants to get it back. I negotiated hard with her, but she agreed to give us the reward money if we help her," Peter said without feeling ashamed.

"Boy, you shouldn't meddle in the affairs of such beings; you'll just die as collateral damage," Yondu said, frowning slightly.

"You just have to make sure to get the attention of Ronan's ship and ensure there's not too much destruction on Xandar; Damian's daughter will be the one to face Ronan, and even if she can't, it's possible that Damian himself will come."

"It's definitely not as dangerous as it seems," Peter looked at him, clearly noticing that Yondu was hesitating about getting involved.

"Alright, but if I see that the situation isn't as you describe, I'll leave immediately, are we clear?" Yondu looked at Peter.

"Of course, I'll run away myself if I see that things are going bad," Peter smiled.

"I don't want games, boy; if I don't get my money, I'll hunt you across the galaxy," Yondu said before ending the call.

"That was easier than I thought," Peter muttered before quickly sending a message to Xandar warning them of what was about to happen.
