[Since there are no other exits, they can only fly out the way they came in, which will severely test Rocket Raccoon's spaceship piloting skills, since the path is only so wide.]
The spacecraft needs to be positioned at a very precise angle.
After navigating the narrow, bumpy road, Rocket Raccoon finally saw the gate blocking his way. Gritting his teeth, he charged straight through.
【"Bang."】
The gate was rammed open by the spaceship, which itself began to shake violently, repeatedly colliding with the surrounding walls.
After all, the spaceship's thrusters are just a combination of drones, and they simply can't withstand a strong impact.
Drones were constantly falling from the bottom of the spaceship, while several unfortunate prison guards were fleeing from the front. It was fortunate that the gravity here was normal; otherwise, they would have been knocked away by Rocket Raccoon's spaceship.
The spaceship had completely turned into a bumper car, constantly colliding with other vehicles, and all the drones had fallen off the bottom of the spaceship.
After flying into the next area, Rocket Raccoon also used the safety armband to lock the gate behind it.
"This plan is absolutely perfect."
After the spaceship came to a stop, Rudius spoke, saying that he truly hadn't expected to escape in this way, or rather, apart from Rocket Raccoon, no one else present knew.
[It's unclear whether Rudius was praising Rocket Raccoon's plan or implying how unreliable it was.]
After all, Groot's actions had forced them to act even before the detailed plan was explained.
"Just tell me, did you escape or not?"
[Rocket Raccoon looked at Rudius and said.]
Drax kicked away the glass that was already on the verge of shattering, and was the first to walk down.
Rudeus ran to the bedside and looked out at the harbor where spaceships were docked. After looking around, Rudeus finally saw his own spaceship.
Rudius pointed to his spaceship and said.
"Great, it's over there. Go get my spaceship."
527: Arminus, forward four
"The Arminus, the one in that corner, the one with the orange and blue stripes."
Meanwhile, Rocket Raccoon and his friends were opening boxes and taking out the items they had surrendered before going to jail.
"They actually rolled my pants into a ball."
"How rude! Yours were all folded up neatly."
Drax looked at his piled-up pants with considerable dissatisfaction and said, "Everyone else's pants are folded neatly, but his are just a ball. Drax feels like the prison guards are giving him a hard time."
Rudeus also went to find his trunk. He pressed a lever on the wall next to him and rolled down the wall used to store prisoners' luggage, eventually finding his trunk.
After Rudeus pulled down the lever, the wall stopped rolling. Rudeus dragged out his luggage, his clothes neatly folded.
However, Rudeus didn't care how neatly the clothes were folded; what he cared about was the cosmic orb, after all, it was worth four billion.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen; the Sphere of the Universe was still intact, and Rudeus was relieved.
"The Sphere of the Universe is inside, let's go!"
[After Alice peeked out and saw the cosmic orb, she patted Rudeus on the shoulder and said something, but at that moment Rudeus noticed something very strange.]
However, Rudius, unwilling to admit it, continued searching.
His MP3 player is missing.
"Rudeus's MP3 player is of great significance to him, as can be seen from the earlier incident where Rudeus confronted the prison guard directly because the guard took his MP3 player."
"Moreover, this MP3 player is the only thing Rudius brought back from Earth."
Kitahara Iori looked at Rudeus, who was in a hurry, and said.
"Do you think Rudeus can return to Earth?"
Kohei Imamura suddenly realized that since Rudeus had his own spaceship that could travel around the universe, could Rudeus return to Earth?
"Even if he could go back, what would Rudeus do back on Earth?"
"Putting aside the fact that he was reincarnated, do you think he would want to go back now that he looks like he's in his twenties or thirties? He might have before."
"Rudeus now may be rewriting this infinite universe, and as for that MP3, it's more of a symbolic representation."
Kitahara Iori spoke up, saying that he believed time might have diluted Rudeus's longing for Earth.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Rudeus kept searching and shouted for everyone to stop, and Alice, hearing his shout, thought something was wrong.
【"What's wrong?"】
"That bastard didn't put him back."
Rudius had to admit that the bastard had taken his MP3 player and, instead of returning it, had kept it for himself.
"What wasn't put back?"
Alice didn't understand what Rudius was talking about.
"Take it."
"Take it to the ship, I'll be there shortly."
Rudeus, holding his clothes, handed a bag to Alice, who, bewildered, took the bag.
What are you planning to do?
Alice looked at Rudeus and asked, a vague feeling creeping into her mind that Rudeus might be about to do something foolish.
"Just leave the Arminus nearby, let's go."
Rudius clearly didn't intend to tell Alice about his plan to retrieve his MP3 player; after all, if he did, Alice would definitely call him an idiot and try to stop him.
After all, Rudeus knew that to outsiders, this was a foolish thing to do, and similarly, he believed that outsiders didn't understand what the MP3 player meant to him.
"Hurry up!"
Rudeus, clutching his clothes, ran while calling out to Alice behind him.
Rudeus swiftly donned his raider uniform, put on his cosmic helmet, grabbed his elemental gun, and opened the gate.
As soon as the gate opened, three prison guards were standing in the corridor. None of them were armed; their weapons were lying to the side, clearly indicating they hadn't anticipated anyone breaking in.
Just as the prison guards were about to take it, Rudeus fired an elemental bullet, instantly electrocuting the guard who was hit and leaving him paralyzed on the ground.
However, the passageway was rather narrow. After the second guard fell, the remaining guards immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat. While this was the right thing to do, it was futile, and Rudius knocked them to the ground with the butt of his rifle.
[Then, two prison guards who arrived as backup were also electrocuted and knocked to the ground by Rudius.]
"Aaaaaah!"
[A prison guard, wielding a baton, rushed out from around the corner and charged at Rudius. Rudius raised his hand and fired a shot, instantly tasing the guard to the ground.]
"Ouch, my neck!"
The prison guard didn't faint when he fell; instead, his neck was caught on the baton. Rudius stepped over him and, without even lowering his head, fired another shot.
"It feels like Rudeus's goofy side is greatly reduced when he puts on the cosmic helmet, and he gives off a very cool and handsome vibe."
Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Rudeus, who was wearing a space helmet in the light screen, and said that Rudeus's space helmet looked like a villain.
Kyosuke Kosaka felt that it was probably because they were in a narrow passage and the surrounding dim environment that made Rudeus's red eyes on his space helmet stand out so much.
Add to that the large group of prison guards lying on the ground, and anyone who didn't know better would definitely think Rudeus was the villain.
Kyosuke Kosaka estimates that merchandise manufacturers will definitely ask Rudeus for the copyright and then produce merchandise featuring the same mask.
"How does he plan to join us?"
Rocket Raccoon asked Alice.
[At this moment, Rocket Raccoon and his crew had already flown out of Krillin Prison in Rudeus's Arminus and were hovering outside the prison.]
When Rocket Raccoon heard from Alice that Rudeus had run away, seemingly missing something, Rocket Raccoon's heart skipped a beat. He knew Rudeus must have gone to find his 13-inch music player.
"Rudius refused to disclose any relevant information to me."
"Screw him."
[Rocket Raccoon heard Alice say this.]
"I don't want to be a fool and wait for some suicidal human."
"The cosmic orb is on you, right?"
[Rocket Raccoon asked Alice while piloting the Arminus.]
[If Alice answers yes, Rocket Raccoon guarantees he'll shake off Rudeus, after all, Rudeus's 40,000 is nothing compared to the 4 billion of the Cosmic Orb.]
【"right."】
[Alice said, then opened the bag Rudius had handed her, but pulled out only a piece of leather strap—just one piece of leather strap.]
"There's no way we would just hand over the Sphere of the Universe like that."
"No matter what Rudius is like, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do something like this, after all, their relationship is purely based on interests."
Rudius himself knew that if he didn't have the Cosmic Orb, those people would definitely not wait for him once they boarded the spaceship.
