BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1160: Introduction
Chapter 1160: Introduction
After all the individuals on Earth, including the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, had gathered together (except for Groot), Lin Rui, who had somewhat recovered, did not immediately discuss what should be done next with everyone. This was because, given the current situation, even Lin Rui could only wait for the outcome.
So, with everyone’s eyes on him, Lin Rui first asked Rocket, “Rocket, do you know where we are now? How far are we from that previous stretch of space, and how far are we from Earth?”
Rocket, who had been rather irritated by the constant scrutiny from Earth’s inhabitants due to his unique appearance, quickly retrieved a small device and tapped on it a few times before looking up.
“We’re seventeen point six light-years away from the previous stretch of space and one point four light-years from Earth. We’re quite close to Earth now.”
“In that case, the Portal from earlier was probably meant to take us back to Earth. It’s just… the accuracy might not have been perfect,” Lin Rui murmured to himself upon hearing Rocket’s response.
Given the circumstances earlier, it was already quite a feat for Ancient One to consider Earth and transport them away. Some margin of error in the distance was entirely normal.
However, a distance of one point four light-years wouldn’t take long with the intact Milano, but it was beyond repair here, and Earth’s E Grade Spaceship didn’t have a fully perfected Warp engine. Even a slight error could send the entire spaceship’s crew to a different location in the cosmos.
Nevertheless, these were not insurmountable issues. Once Lin Rui had fully recovered, he could use the Magic Cube’s power to open a Portal to take them back. Lin Rui’s recovery ability was currently quite potent, and it might not take long at all.
Tony and Captain Rogers knew what Lin Rui knew, so they weren’t particularly surprised when they heard about the distance from Earth. Moreover, at this moment, returning to Earth wasn’t the most critical issue. What mattered most was determining the outcome of Ancient One’s battle against Dormammu.
If Ancient One couldn’t deal with Dormammu, Earth would be at Dormammu’s mercy. Even if they could return to Earth smoothly, it would be like facing the mantis with a blade, only to be crushed and devoured by Dormammu.
As Lin Rui pondered the situation after hearing Rocket’s response, he looked up to see Peter still staring at Rocket. The small, furry face of Rocket had undergone several changes, and he appeared on the verge of anger.
Being a genetically enhanced lifeform, Rocket was rather sensitive to being stared at as if he were some sort of amusement.
“Spider-Man, stop staring at Rocket. He doesn’t like it,” Lin Rui reminded before Rocket could explode.
Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Peter awkwardly averted his gaze. As a youngster, Peter found the appearance of Rocket, this extraordinarily unusual furry extraterrestrial, more intriguing than Tony and the others did.
“All right, I think we’ve all seen each other now. These are the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy I mentioned earlier. This is Star-Lord,” Lin Rui began to introduce the situation on the Guardians of the Galaxy side to Earth’s inhabitants, starting with Star-Lord.
After Lin Rui introduced Star-Lord, Tony and the others nodded cordially toward him. Although Star-Lord had been somewhat impolite when he first approached Lin Rui, they could understand his emotions at the time.
“Hello, I’m Star-Lord, and these are my teammates: Drax, Gamora, and this little guy is Rocket,” Star-Lord said, greeting Tony and the others while introducing his teammates.
Bang!
Just as Star-Lord finished introducing Rocket, a metal sphere hurtled from the side, aiming for Star-Lord’s head but narrowly missing as Star-Lord agilely dodged it.
However, standing behind Star-Lord, Drax didn’t avoid the sphere and was struck squarely in the chest. Nevertheless, Drax’s physical resilience was so high that he paid no attention to the force of the metal sphere.
“You’re the little guy! Your whole family is made up of little guys!!” The one who threw the metal sphere was undoubtedly Rocket, and as he tossed the sphere, he shouted angrily.
“Hehe…”
“Star-Lord, we have more people on this side, so we won’t introduce everyone individually. Besides, you’ll get to know them soon enough,” Lin Rui said, unfazed by the scuffle between Rocket and Star-Lord.
“Right, so let’s discuss the matter we’re all waiting for. Those three…”
Upon hearing Star-Lord’s words, the eyes of the people in the cockpit also focused. During the previous encounter, they had been powerless against Dormammu, and after the arrival of Ancient One and the other two elders, they couldn’t comprehend the ensuing battle, leaving them in awe.
Aside from Ancient One, they had no knowledge of the identities of the other two individuals.
“Well then, let me introduce the identities of those three. One of them is Ancient One, hailing from Earth and he is a Sorcerer, which you should all be familiar with,” Lin Rui began, slowly introducing the identities of the trio, his gaze sweeping across the room.
The first person Lin Rui introduced was Ancient One, whose identity was already known to Tony and the others. Lin Rui had mentioned earlier that defeating Dormammu would rely on Ancient One, so his appearance wasn’t much of a surprise to them.
However, Star-Lord and his team were taken aback, not expecting that the powerful figure capable of casting two magic circles on a whim came from Earth.
“And the old man on the white horse is Thor and Loki’s father, the King of Asgard, known as Odin,” Lin Rui continued, his gaze briefly resting on Thor and Loki when he mentioned Odin.
“Asgard! Father of Thor and Loki?!” Tony and the others couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing Lin Rui’s introduction of Odin. They had known about Ancient One’s identity, but Odin, the King of Asgard, was a legendary figure and a god in Earth’s myths.
“And the last elder is Star-Lord’s father, named Ego,” Lin Rui continued without paying much attention to everyone’s astonishment.
