Lin Feng had given out three emergency beacons in total, one to Susan, one to her sister.
Another one, at a transfer star, was given to Rocket.
According to the coordinates transmitted by the emergency beacon, it was clearly in space.
Which meant, in all likelihood, Rocket had used the emergency beacon...
Lin Feng felt a bit helpless. Couldn't he rest for a while after just returning?
However, upon further thought, Rocket didn't seem like the type to misuse an emergency beacon. It was probably a real problem that had occurred, prompting the little raccoon to summon him.
With this thought, Lin Feng directly opened a portal to the coordinates, deciding to check out the situation first.
Xandar, having just gone through a fierce battle.
The entire combat zone was a mess, reduced to ruins by artillery fire and explosions, with dust and smoke everywhere.
The massive energy net formed by the Nova Corps pilots had failed to stop the Dark Aster's landing.
The colossal Dark Aster crashed onto the planet's surface.
Terrified Xandarians huddled together, awaiting their doom.
From a breach in the ship's hull, a hammer-wielding, helmet-wearing performance artist slowly emerged.
His dark cyan skin was interspersed with black obscurities.
It was Ronan the Accuser.
His father and grandfather had died at the hands of the Xandarians.
Ronan's people and the Xandarian people had a generations-old feud.
He intended to destroy everything on Xandar to fulfill his vengeance.
He had originally made a deal with Thanos: he would help Thanos obtain the Power Stone, and Thanos would destroy Xandar.
But when Ronan discovered the Power Stone's immense power, he betrayed his deal with Thanos.
The Power Stone's might could easily destroy a planet. With the Power Stone, Ronan no longer needed Thanos's power to effortlessly obliviate Xandar.
"You killed Groot!" Rocket held a broken branch, a sacrifice Groot had made to protect them.
Enraged, Rocket lost his mind and charged forward, intending to fight Ronan to the death, only to be casually kicked away by Ronan...
Poor little raccoon, his abilities were significantly nerfed in the movie.
Rocket slammed into a piece of scrap metal and bounced to the ground.
A thin metal shard fell from his grasp, making a clinking sound.
"This is..."
Rocket picked up the shard, lost in thought. Although he had always carried it, he hadn't used it for months and had almost forgotten about it.
"See! This is your Guardians of the Galaxy?" Ronan roared ahead.
Gamora and Star-Lord lay before him, and behind them were the fearful and despairing Xandarian people.
"What have they guarded?"
"You expect these vermin to stop my plan? Pathetic and ridiculous!"
"Their failure is inevitable, and I, shall have my due!"
"I will avenge my father and grandfather! With the lives of you Xandarians!"
The joy of imminent victory filled Ronan's heart. He was about to complete his great revenge, by orchestrating the annihilation of Xandar.
"Xandarians! Abandon your humble and ignorant faith, and welcome my moment!"
Ronan raised his hammer, embedded with the Power Stone, and furious purple energy began to brew!
"You shall receive salvation! Pizza Hut!"
World-ending energy gathered around Ronan. With this hammer blow, Xandar would be swiftly destroyed by the Power Stone.
However, the next second, Ronan's action suddenly paused, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He looked at Star-Lord in front of him with confusion.
It was Star-Lord, who had suddenly appeared before Ronan and started singing, with accompanying movements.
"Listen to these lyrics!"
As if getting into the groove, Star-Lord danced more vigorously, singing incomprehensible songs.
Ronan's purple eyes grew more confused. He felt that Star-Lord was toying with him.
"What are you doing?"
"Dancing battle, bro! You and me!" Star-Lord said, thrusting his hips forward.
"What the hell are you playing at?" Ronan questioned in anger. At this moment of vengeance, Star-Lord's inexplicable actions felt like an insult!
Star-Lord continued to thrust his hips forward recklessly, "I'm distracting you! Big idiot!"
*Hum!* As if to complement Star-Lord, a sound came from his right.
Ronan turned his head. The raccoon he had just kicked away was standing to his right.
Beside the raccoon, a continuously swirling azure water curtain appeared.
The next second, a figure stepped out of the water curtain, clad in a black combat suit that encased a powerful physique.
"Oh!" Rocket's metal shard flashed, and he looked at the figure emerging from the portal in disbelief.
"I thought it was just a toy to amuse me, I didn't expect it to actually work?!"
The one who stepped out of the portal was Lin Feng, who had rushed over.
After the light subsided, the current state of Xandar appeared before him.
He froze upon seeing the scene before him.
Well, well, all familiar faces.
Although they didn't recognize Lin Feng, Lin Feng had seen them in the movies!
The foolish Star-Lord and Drax, the green-skinned Gamora, Thanos's adopted daughter, and the Ravagers led by Yondu.
Lin Feng didn't recognize the rest of the Xandarians gathered together.
However, the most striking figure was the hammer-wielding Ronan the Accuser, standing not far in front of him!
The Infinity Gem on his hammer, emitting purple light, was too dazzling to ignore.
This... is the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy?
After surveying his surroundings, Lin Feng understood. But then he felt something was amiss. The Guardians of the Galaxy plot was supposed to start a year later.
"System, how long have I been away from the main universe?"
"The host has been away for approximately half a year," the system replied.
Lin Feng frowned slightly. In the non-numbered Venom universe, including the time spent evolving in the sun, he had only been there for about three months at most.
It seemed the time flow in the non-numbered Venom universe was slower than the main universe, roughly a 2:1 ratio.
"That's still not right. Even if half a year has passed, the Guardians of the Galaxy plot should still be months away."
"This is a normal phenomenon, host. It is the butterfly effect caused by you." the system explained.
"Originally, Rocket and Groot would have stayed at the transfer planet for several months."
"However, due to your presence, Rocket left the transfer planet several months early."
"Furthermore, your appearance has also caused some changes to Thanos's plan, and many events are occurring ahead of schedule."
"Thanos has been paying attention to you since you eliminated the Chitauri invasion!"
The system's explanation made Lin Feng suddenly enlightened.
No wonder, he thought, why the plot had advanced inexplicably. It turned out that he, this "little" butterfly, had stirred up a storm.
Seeing Lin Feng dazed, Rocket kicked his shin.
He pointed at Ronan and gritted his teeth, "Help me kill him, kill him! I'll pay any price!"
