Chapter 78: End of Ronan

Chapter 78: End of Ronan

Bluish lightning and purplish energies collided as the two weapons smashed into each other.

The two froze in place for a few seconds before…

*Crack*

Ronan’s eyes widened as he watched a crack appear on his hammer and slowly spread out as if it was made of glass.

Until…

*BOOM*

The hammer broke into pieces and the Power Stone, no longer attached to anything, started to fall.

Well, his hammer wasn’t the only one that broke.

Soon, Benjamin’s Mjolnir also started to crack and shatter under the pressure of the Power Stone’s might.

Benjamin didn’t think this was weird. The reason Ronan’s hammer broke was that it was simply incapable of holding an Infinity Stone. Coupled with being struck by Mjolnir, it will naturally break apart.

As for Mjolnir breaking, well, no matter how amazing it is, it still took on the full brunt of the Power Stone’s attack which Ronan unleashed. However, Benjamin wasn’t worried.

Grinning at Ronan, Benjamin waved the handle of Mjolnir.

“Cool hammer. But can it also do this?”

Suddenly, all the broken pieces of Mjolnir started to converge and reform the hammer in Benjamin’s hand.

Although it still showed some cracks, its power was not any less than before.

“NOO!!!”

Ronan could do nothing but shout as he watched the hammer strike him down like lightning and crashed into the ground.

The land cracked as he landed.

Benjamin controlled everyone who was still frozen in midair down to the ground safely.

Among them, Peter was looking at him with his jaw on the ground.

What just happened?

Who am I?

What am I doing here?

It was as if he began to doubt his own existence.

Earlier, he was thinking about what Benjamin, a ‘normal person’ is doing in this war.

Turns out, he is anything BUT normal!

In fact, he’s a goddamn monster!

And he actually belittled him earlier!

Peter didn’t know how to react anymore. All he can do was stare at Benjamin dumbfoundedly.

Other than him, Carol looked at the Mjolnir in Benjamin’s hand in surprise.

“...Did you just break Thor’s hammer?”

“Hm? Oh, this isn’t his. Don’t worry about it.”

“Really? Can I see it?”

“Sure.”

Benjamin shrugged and handed the hammer to her.

Since this was a Mjolnir from the System, there was no need for the worthiness thing so anyone Benjamin, or rather the System, deem worthy can wield it.

Carol took it and was prepared for it to sink to the ground but contrary to her expectations, she was able to lift it without any problems.

She can even toss it midair a few times.

“Huh. I guess this really isn’t Thor’s hammer. That guy won’t shut up about worthy this. Worthy that. Actually, how do you even have a similar hammer?”

“Uhh, it just appeared one day?”

“...”

Benjamin shrugged and lifted his hands up.

“I don’t know what you want me to say. I have no idea where it came from either.”

Well, who knows where the System is from anyway.

Carol pursed her lips but then shrugged.

“Well, we live in a strange world where I get energized from your cum so anything goes I guess.”

“...”

That’s how you explain it!?

[What a strange world indeed.]

You shut up, System. You’re the strangest one here!

“Ugh…”

A groan sounded from behind.

Turning back, they saw Ronan still alive and struggling to his feet with difficulty.

That didn’t change his arrogant glare though as he gnashed his teeth and stared at Benjamin with hate.

“You think…you have won…!?”

Benjamin blinked for a moment and suddenly showed an evil smile.

“Heh. Look around you. You’ve lost. There is no more hope for you, Ronan.”

“...Ben? Why do you sound like the bad guy in this situation?”

“Kukukuku.”

Carol asked but Benjamin continued to chuckle ominously.

Ronan gritted his teeth and took a small step forward.

“You dare…mock…me…!? I AM RONAN THE ACCUSER!!!”

At the side, Peter caught a glimpse of the Power Stone on the ground and thought for a moment.

Then, he went to grab it.

“AH!!!”

“Huh?”

Surprised by the shout beside them, Benjamin turned and saw Peter holding the Power Stone in his hand.

What is this guy up to? Doesn’t he know he can die just holding that?

Gamora saw Peter as well and knew he was about to do something reckless and maybe kill himself.

She gritted her teeth and held his hand, hoping to lessen the burden on Peter.

Then, Drax followed.

Then Groot.

Rocket stared at them dumbfoundedly and facepalmed himself.

“Oh, we’re doing this now!? Give me a break!”

Although he complained, he still held onto Groot’s wooden hand to lessen their burden.

With the help of the others, Peter finally managed to stabilize himself as he stared at Ronan.

“We’re the Guardians of the Galaxy, bitch!”

*BOOM*!!!

A purple wave of energy shot out from his hand that held the Power Stone towards Ronan who still looked confused.

As he slowly disintegrated from the energy blast, only one thought appeared in his mind.

WHO THE HELL ASKED YOU!?

Other than them, Benjamin and Carol also stared in confusion.

Soon, Carol started to laugh out loud.

“Hahaha! They just stole your moment, Ben!”

“Ugh. Was that even necessary? Look how injured you guys are now…”

Benjamin was speechless.

After zapping Ronan into oblivion, Peter and the others let go of the Power Stone and they all fell to the ground.

Peter panted in exhaustion as he answered.

“I…hah…only…wanted to…grab it…before it gets…lost…!”

“...”

Rocket stared at him with half-closed eyes.

“He totally wanted to steal it.”

“Yeap.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Actually, Peter did want to take advantage of the chaos to steal an Infinity Stone but then its power was unimaginable and he wasn’t able to release it immediately.

Thanks to Gamora and the others sharing the burden, he still needed to release the energy building up within them so he could only act tough and shoot it at Ronan.

Afterward, he was finally able to let it go.

Knowing what happened, Benjamin was even more dumbfounded and could only sigh.

He waved his hand and used telekinesis to pull the Power Stone toward him and let it hover above his hand.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of touching it. Since he is considered a God now, he is capable of holding it without dying but there was no need to go through that pain when he can just use telekinesis.

Just as he was about to put it in his Inventory, a few figures appeared around them.

One group was Adora and her Nova Corps. Another is a blue-skinned man with a strange orange fin on his head. Behind him was a group of Ravagers.

This man should be Yondu.

Yondu didn’t say anything at first and only looked around.

When he saw the purple stone above Benjamin’s hand, he frowned and then turned to Peter.

“Boy! We had a deal!”

Peter just shrugged as he leaned on a piece of rubble.

“Don’t look at me, we got the Power Stone. Just take it from that guy.”

Yondu turned back to Benjamin who just looked at him calmly.

He then looked at the woman beside him and recognized her as Captain Marvel.

Yondu’s a smart man and knew he can’t possibly take her on and he knew nothing about Benjamin except that Captain Marvel seems to be close to him.

“Grr. Let’s go!”

“But aren’t we going to-”

“Shut up! If you want to die, go die yourself!”

Yondu shouted as he stormed off in a huff.

Seeing that, Peter clicked his tongue.

“Tsk, they didn’t fight.”

Gamora heard him and rolled her eyes as she smacked the back of his head.

After Yondu and the Ravagers left, Adora walked towards them.

“Thank you for your help. Especially you, Benjamin Freed. Thanks to you controlling the trees, there wasn’t much damage to the city. Thank you.”

Benjamin smiled.

“No worries. By the way, do you have any plans for this thing?”

Benjamin showed them the Power Stone and asked.

Adora shook her head.

“It’s best you keep it. We are too powerless to guard it should someone try and take it.”

Benjamin nodded and stowed it in his Inventory.

Adora then turned to Peter and the others.

“Thank you as well, Guardians, for informing us ahead of time and assisting us in this war.”

“Ahem. No problem, Your Highness!”

Peter immediately stood straight and acted tough.

Rocket sighed.

“That Guardians thing is really gonna stick to us now huh?”

“I like it.”

Drax nodded.

Gamora shrugged.

“It’s better than Criminals of the Galaxy.”

“True.”

Rocket was convinced and no longer complained.

Gamora then turned to a certain figure and asked.

“What do we do with her?”

Benjamin turned and saw she was pointing at Nebula who was weakly leaning on a piece of debris.

Nebula sighed.

“It doesn’t matter. He is already coming for you. Now that you have the Power Stone, most of the stones are now on Earth…HE…is coming…”

“Huh?”

Benjamin was surprised.

Is it Thanos? He’s already going to invade Earth?

Isn’t it too fast? The Soul Stone has not even been found yet.

Benjamin frowned.

The Soul Stone he has was something that came from the System and not from this universe.

Thanos shouldn’t know that he has it so he will be one stone short even if he managed to get all the Infinity Stones on Earth.

Unless…he already knows where the Soul Stone is?

Benjamin glanced at Gamora who was also frowning.

“We’ll take her to Earth for now for some questioning. Is that fine?”

“If he really is coming to Earth, then I’m going with you.”

Peter, having no idea who they are talking about, asked.

“Uhh Gamora? We just formed the Guardians of the Galaxy and you’re already leaving?”

“Then come with me. The fate of the galaxy is at stake here. We cannot let Thanos take the Infinity Stones.”

However, Benjamin shook his head.

“Rather than that, help me with something.”

“Hm?”

“Find me a planet that is similar to Earth in size and environment. I have a plan.”
