Chapter 1032: Chapter 810: Land of Nihility

Sandaar, the headquarters of the Nova Corps, is a planet with considerable renown throughout interstellar civilizations.

Although the Nova Corps generally prefers peace, their military strength is not weak, and they provide protection to the surrounding areas.

With such a reputation, many diverse alien species have chosen to settle on Sandaar.

This has made the planet, which orbits three stars, home to a population of over 12 billion.

Recently, Sandaar has been embroiled in its third conflict with the Kree Empire, with peace negotiations approaching their final stages.

In terms of sheer combat strength, the Kree Empire, as one of the three major empires, clearly holds the upper hand.

However, the Nova Corps aren’t pushovers either. A mindless slugfest would only benefit others, so both sides are inclined toward negotiation in the end.

With this news spreading, Sandaar has gradually emerged from the shadow of war, and the crowd on the streets has noticeably increased.

At Fountain Square, a landmark, beings from various species are leisurely relaxing.

All forms, hair colors, and skin tones are represented.

However, most still bear humanoid characteristics, albeit with many differing details.

Occasionally, a raccoon or tree-man might appear, but they’re among the minority.

“Oh, this is really bad. The war is ending, and we’re running out of jobs. Haven’t had any work lately.”

A raccoon walking upright, comically carrying an armed backpack, grumbled in complaint.

Beside him was a giant tree-man over three meters tall, sluggishly pacing.

Though the tree-man moved slowly, his towering height meant that each step required the raccoon to trot to keep up.

“Groot.”

The tree-man, Groot, seemed only capable of uttering this slow phrase, though the raccoon seemed to understand him perfectly.

“But with peace, we’re out of work. We’re bounty hunters; wherever there’s chaos, that’s where we need to go.”

The raccoon muttered endlessly.

“Recently heard that the Ziritans, those scavengers, provoked Asgard. Maybe there’s business for us there.”

Raccoon Rocket’s sources of information were quite impressive, as he seemed to have identified his next destination.

“But lately, the Asgardians haven’t been acting properly in public much. Could something have gone wrong? Their reputation’s not what it used to be…”

Just as Rocket was shaking his head and talking about this, the sky above Sandaar suddenly filled with a dense cloudbank, appearing extremely abrupt.

In the next moment, a colorful beam of light tore through the void, crashing directly into Fountain Square!

Figures emerged one after another from the Rainbow Bridge, and the moving light beam seemed to “refresh” in the areas it touched, producing new figures incessantly.

Soon, a contingent of 500 fully-armed Asgardian warriors materialized in Fountain Square, drawing gasps from the surrounding onlookers.

“The Asgardians are attacking!”

“Oh my god!”

“It’s the end for Sandaar…”

“…”

Some people ran frantically, forcing the small raccoon to dodge awkwardly. Eventually, Rocket had no choice but to climb atop Groot’s head, relying on Groot’s towering structure to glance at the Asgardians ahead.

The raccoon’s face also revealed a shocked expression.

“Oh no, are they coming after me for what I said?”

Rocket clasped his small paws nervously, biting his fingers in tension.

Even though he often acted fearless, much of that was sometimes a façade.

“Oh, maybe they really are coming after you.”

The sudden voice startled Rocket, who turned around to see a figure dressed in white robes, graceful and poised, with an ethereal and elegant appearance.

This person exuded an aura of righteousness and goodness, almost as if they embodied the beauty of the world itself, holding a scepter in hand.

Yet, for some reason, despite the near-perfect demeanor in every respect, Rocket couldn’t help but feel that the positive radiant aura this person projected was entwined with a strange sense of extremity.

This prompted Tao Yu to tilt his head and cast a glance at him, a deep gaze that seemed to pierce Rocket’s innermost thoughts, making him more nervous.

“Relax. You’re bounty hunters, right? Would you consider taking on some employment?”

Tao Yu spoke as he raised his head, noticing Nova Corps vessels in the sky racing toward them with urgency.

Although the battle with the Kreeans was drawing to a close and both sides were entering the negotiation stage, Sandaar’s defenses had never been lax.

Even if the Rainbow Bridge had caught them off guard, defensive forces were mobilized almost immediately.

“Oh, as long as the price is right, we’re open to discussing it.”

Rocket still felt a trace of nervousness, but outwardly maintained an air of composure, while also glancing at the approaching Nova Corps vessels.

As a seasoned bounty hunter, Rocket had always disliked law enforcers like these. But now, he just hoped these guys were strong enough.

At that moment, the approaching vessels activated their external speakers.

“Asgardians, state your purpose for suddenly appearing here. This violates the traditional agreements among interstellar civilizations.”

Among the 500 Asgardian warriors transported here were Thor and Sif, leading the group.

Thor, hearing the broadcast message, simply chuckled.
