Chapter 306: Chapter 306


    ?


    Chitauri Command Ship


    The Chitaurimander''s face froze, a string of question marks seemingly floating above his head.


    "That''s all the power he had, and he dared to challenge the White Knight?"


    "Is this Celestial insane?"


    Sokovia


    Ultron, who had been watching with concern, stared nkly at the scene.


    Just like that? A Celestial?


    Ultron felt as if his logical systems were about to crash.


    Stark Tower


    Thor blinked in surprise before bursting into heartyughter.


    "My brother truly is the strongest! A Celestial? Gone in the blink of an eye!"


    The Avengers, gathered to deal with the Ultron crisis, collectively rolled their eyes at Thor''s unabashed pride in his "brother."


    Sovereign


    High Priestess Ayesha stood stunned, her mind struggling to process the events.


    "High Priestess, that Celestial was utterly pathetic!" the fleetmander couldn''t help but


    comment.


    "Indeed," Ayesha agreed with a nod.


    What shocked her more, however, was the revtion that the White Knight was also a god.


    She knew of Asgard but couldn''tprehend why this White Knight was so much stronger than the tales suggested.


    Kamar-Taj


    The Ancient One observed the scene without surprise.


    Asgard


    Odin smiled faintly, a sense of pride mingling with his thoughts.


    On Scene


    Star-Lord, still staring at the aftermath, muttered, "It''s over? He''s dead?"


    His expression wasplicated.


    Rocket noticing, snorted, "Don''t tell me you''re mourning the guy who killed your mother?"


    "No, I''m not!" Star-Lord snapped defensively. "I just regret not being the one to take him down myself!"


    Rocket rolled his eyes.


    The others fell silent, unsure how to respond.


    Syd, watching, quipped, "A true father avenger."


    "What''s that supposed to mean?" Star-Lord asked, confused.


    "Never mind," Syd said with a wave of his hand. "Anyway, that wasn''t his real body." "What?"


    Everyone, including those listening through Rocket''s transparent panel, froze in shock. "His true form is a," Syd exined briefly. "He mentioned it before."


    "A?" Star-Lord said, his jaw dropping. "I thought that was just him bragging!" Rocket and the others were equally stunned.


    "But if his real bodyes here, what will you do?" Star-Lord asked, his voice filled with concern.


    Around the world, countless people and factions watching the broadcast perked up at this revtion, their interest reignited.


    "Oh, it was just an avatar. No wonder he was so weak!"


    "The White Knight has provoked aary Celestial. Let''s see how he handles that!"


    Many began specting and even gloating over the potential consequences.


    Syd raised an eyebrow at Star-Lord''s question and replied calmly, "Don''t worry. I know how to deal with it."


    As long as Ego''s brain was destroyed, his defeat was guaranteed. For Syd, this was hardly a challenge.


    Though he understood that Ego posed no real threat, others were far less convinced.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Even Star-Lord and his crew suspected that Syd was bluffing, while others watching the situation unfolded gleefully anticipated his downfall.


    After a brief conversation, Star-Lord turned to Syd with a mix of gratitude and reluctance. "Thanks for today, man. But I guess it''s time for us to leave."


    "Oh, by the way," he added with a hopeful grin, "would you be interested in joining the Guardians of the Gxy? We could show you the universe-trust me, it''d be a st!"


    Rocket, Groot, and even Drax looked at Syd expectantly. Having someone as powerful as the White Knight on their team would make their missions infinitely easier.


    Syd appeared momentarily surprised by the offer but ultimately shook his head. "Maybe another time."


    Disappointed but understanding, Star-Lord and his team gave up after a few more attempts to convince him. Preparing to leave, they returned to the Mno.


    Just as the ship was about to take off, Syd turned his gaze toward the horizon.


    A series of faint lights streaked across the sky, followed by the sound of explosions.


    Rocket scowled, muttering, "Those Sovereigns aren''t just arrogant; they''re sneaky, too!"


    The group watched as the Sovereign probes, which had been stealthily monitoring the scene, were destroyed.


    After expressing their thanks once more, the Guardians left Earth aboard the Mno.


    Syd didn''t stop them. He knew that with so many factions on Earth, the Guardians couldn''t stay long without attracting unwanted attention.


    As their ship disappeared into the distance, Syd activated the Tesseract. A sh of blue light surrounded him, and he vanished as well.


    Around the World


    While Syd had left, discussions about the event were far from over.


    Many were both fearful and excited about the potential return of Ego''s true form-the


    netary Celestial.


    Sovereign


    High Priestess Ayesha was seething with frustration.


    "This White Knight!" she fumed, ring at the darkened projection screen.


    But despite her anger, she hesitated to take action. The White Knight''s power had left her


    shaken.


    "High Priestess, what should we do now?" the fleetmander asked cautiously.


    "What else can we do? Pretend this never happened," Ayesha replied tersely.


    Still, she added thoughtfully, "At least we''ve learned something. That Earth truly does have


    powerful beings."


    "The rumors about the universe''s changes... we may have found a lead."


    After a moment of silence, she issued her next orders.


    "Deploy more probes. I want information on the White Knight and the Messiah. These two are


    major threats to the Sovereign."


    "Yes, High Priestess."


    As they strategized, news of the incident began to spread within Sovereign circles. The gossip eventually leaked to other factions, sparking widespread discussion.


    Elsewhere in the Gxy


    "Did you hear? The Sovereigns sent a fleet to invade a primitive and got utterly


    crushed!"


    "What? The Sovereigns lost to a primitive?"


    Countless beings couldn''t believe what they were hearing.


    While many mocked the Sovereigns'' arrogance, they couldn''t deny the strength of their


    forces. How could they fail against a primitive civilization?


    What exactly had happened on that?
