"It will be divided equally among the four of us."
"When something happens, he's fast asleep; but as soon as he hears a noise, Qian perks up."
"Incorrigible."
[Rocket Raccoon looked at Groot, who was only interested in splitting the bill, and said...]
"You've been betrayed, Ronan."
Inside Ronan's Dark Star interstellar warship, a gigantic projection of a human face appeared in the dimly lit conference room, becoming one of the only two sources of light in the dim space. This made his already enormous face appear even more imposing.
"All we know is that she's been captured, but Alice might still have a chance to retrieve the Orb."
Ronan looked at the projected face and said, completely unaware that Alice had betrayed him.
[Nebula, standing nearby, lowered her head upon hearing the news of Alice's betrayal, her mind racing.]
"No! Our informant at Klin Prison said he heard Alice say she has her own plans regarding the Orb."
"Your partnership with Thanos is now in serious jeopardy."
"Thanos wants to see you. See him now."
The giant face disappeared after speaking, ending the communication. Ronan's face turned pale and then flushed, clearly enraged by the news of Alice's betrayal.
[Thanos's territory, Sanctuary.]
"Excuse my bluntness, Thanos."
"It was your daughter who caused this trouble, yet you summoned me here."
Ronan looked at Thanos above and said.
"You'd better speak quietly, accuser."
Thanos didn't speak; instead, a waiter spoke for him.
"Your daughter was first defeated by a group of primitive people, and then imprisoned by the Nova Corps."
"Thanos has placed Iris under your command."
Thanos's attendant interrupted, his meaning clearly telling Ronan, the accuser, that if anything went wrong, it was Ronan's fault for his command.
Nebula remained silent, watching quietly from the side.
"Now you're the one making baseless accusations, the one with no evidence."
"Your informant said she had been plotting to betray us for a long time!"
Ronan looked at the waiter and said, "If it weren't for Thanos, I would have smashed him down with my hammer long ago for talking back like that."
"Show some respect!"
"Although I am..."
Before the waiter could finish speaking, Ronan raised his hammer and aimed it at him. A shockwave erupted from the hammer, and the waiter, struck by the shockwave, froze in place before collapsing to the ground.
Nebula, seeing the waiter fall, knew he was dead.
After killing the waiter, Ronan looked up at the throne in the air and, without waiting for Thanos's reaction, spoke.
"I just want you to take this seriously."
Upon hearing Ronan's words, the throne in the air slowly rotated.
"Kid, the only person I don't care about is you."
Thanos looked down at Ronan and said...
"Will you win?"
Looking at Thanos in the light screen, Minoru thought to himself that he had already received a portion of the power projected onto him by the light screen.
He also knew just how powerful he was. A nuclear explosion was not his limit. He could even perform a full-power basic attack even in the event of a nuclear explosion. But unfortunately, he didn't have his full power.
Minoru Kageno felt that he might only gain full power later on, after the subsequent events of his life were shown.
So Minoru Kageno was also wondering if he could win against Thanos in his current state against the one in the light screen, and what he would be like at his peak.
"It will win."
Minoru Kageno felt he should win.
Ronan, somewhat surprised by Thanos's words, looked up at the figure on the throne. Even just looking at his posture, one could sense his terrifying strength.
"Your political maneuvering is so boring. You act like a spoiled child, and it's obvious that you drove away my beloved daughter, Alice."
"It wasn't Alice who betrayed me."
"Is this the bottom line for an old father? I'd rather say Ronan drove her away than believe that Alice betrayed him."
Looking at Thanos on the light screen, Shirogane Miyuki said, "I put myself in his shoes for a moment..."
He also believed that his sister would not betray him, but rather that Ronan had driven her away.
When Nebula heard Thanos mention his beloved daughter Iris, she paused for a moment, then bit her lip before continuing to fiddle with the device on her arm, appearing completely nonchalant.
"..."
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji felt something was strange; he couldn't quite understand the relationship between Thanos and his two daughters.
He felt that Thanos hadn't completely used Iris and Nebula as mere tools.
His two adopted daughters, when it comes to hating Thanos, seem to be doing so, but when it comes to listening to Thanos, they don't seem to be doing so either.
Even Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt that Nebula was trying to compete with Alice for favor.
"I will keep our promise, Kree."
"But you must bring me the Orb of the Universe."
"If I see you again next time, and your hands are empty, I will use your blood to stain the entire galaxy red."
Thanos looked at Ronan and spoke, and Ronan felt the immense pressure emanating from Thanos.
"Thank you, Father. That was fair."
"You can't win this battle."
[At this moment, Nebula finished fiddling with the parts on her arm and stood up, speaking softly as she walked to Ronan's side.]
"Let's go to Klin."
After glancing up at Thanos, Ronan followed Nebula as she departed.
Light Yagami and L exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning from their eyes.
That means the cosmic orb must be extraordinary.
"Just like when Thanos sent Loki to Earth to steal the Tesseract."
"Now Thanos has sent Ronan to seize the Orb of Destiny."
"Moreover, Thanos will likely have other similar actions later on, sending his subordinates to collect certain things for him."
"And he will never appear before the final chapter begins."
"Until he had gathered everything he needed."
Light Yagami watched Thanos smile as Ronan and Nebula departed through the light screen and said...
"What do you think the scene will be like when Thanos finally appears?"
"That might be an epic battle."
"Light Yagami said."
"If we want to escape, we need to find our way into the watchtower over there."
The next day at dinner, Rudeus, Iris, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon began discussing their escape plan, with Rocket Raccoon pointing to the watchtower in the middle.
"For this, I need a few things."
[Rocket Raccoon looked at a prison guard on the second floor and said.]
"The guards are all wearing security armbands to control the flow of people in and out; I need one."
"Leave this to me."
Alice stated that she would handle the security armbands.
"Hey you over there, I need his prosthetic leg."
Rocket Raccoon pointed to a prisoner over there who was missing a leg and said...
"His legs?"
Rudius looked at the prosthetic limb and asked.
【"right."】
"I don't need it for the other parts."
"The last thing is on the back wall, there's a black panel with a flashing yellow light, do you see it?"
"I saw it."
Rudius looked in the direction Rocket Raccoon had pointed.
