After Yondu and the others' spaceship completely disappeared from sight, Rudeus took out the Sphere containing the Infinity Stones.
"I reckon he'll kill you, Rudeus."
Alice looked at the cosmic orb in Rudeus's hand and smiled.
"Yes, but... Yondu is practically my only family."
Rudius looked up at the sky and said.
【"No."】
"Your family isn't just him."
Alice grasped Rudeus's hand, implying that they were also Rudeus's family.
Rocket Raccoon looked at the last branch Groot had sacrificed to protect them and began to weep.
Drax, seeing Rocket Raccoon sobbing silently, also clutched his stomach and approached him. Because of the pain, he sat down slowly.
Drax reached out and patted Rocket Raccoon's head, smoothing his fur.
[Rocket Raccoon felt the touch on his head and looked at Drax, gradually stopping his crying.]
"Alas, what a pity. If Groot hadn't died, it would have been the end of a great unity."
Tanjiro felt something was off when he looked at the Guardians of the Galaxy on the light screen, missing Groot.
"How do you even know this?"
"When you were transferred back, we discovered some abnormalities in your nervous system during our examination."
Inside Xandar's strategic command center, Rudius spoke curiously with the Xandar police officer he knew best.
[At this moment, a blurred projection of Rudeus's body was being projected onto the screen in front of everyone.]
Rudeus was very curious as to how he could have survived after obtaining the Infinity Stones, when he had been prepared to die.
"So, I'm not actually from Earth?!"
Rudius said with great surprise and disbelief.
"You could say that half of your bloodline comes from Earth, but the other half doesn't."
"Your mother is from Earth, and as for your father, he is some kind of ancient being we have never encountered before."
"The Xandarian Rising Star Supreme said with a shocked expression, 'You must know that Xandar has a very long history and a vast database of records.'"
However, there is absolutely no record of the other half of Rudeus's bloodline.
Rudeus was completely dumbfounded when the Nova Supreme said that the other half of his bloodline was from an ancient being.
Rudeus suddenly realized that he was a reincarnated being. Since he hadn't been reincarnated into another world and didn't have any special abilities, he initially thought his reincarnation was fake.
[It turns out my cheat code had been dormant for over thirty years. The bloodline of an ancient being was by no means weak. After all, being able to wield the Infinity Stones and still be alive already proved the value of this half-unknown bloodline.]
Suddenly, Rudeus realized the most important point: his other half of his bloodline came from his father in this life.
"So, my father wasn't human?!"
Rudius conceived a treasonous idea.
"No wonder, Kang, you held onto the Infinity Stones for so long and were still alright."
"That's not surprising."
When Alice heard Nova Supreme say that Rudeus was half ancient, she wasn't surprised that Rudeus had been able to hold onto the Infinity Stones for so long without incident.
"Half human blood and half unknown blood, I estimate that it is thanks to this unknown blood that Rudeus can be a plunderer in the universe."
Kohei Imamura looked at the content on the screen and said, "After all, I feel that just considering the physical abilities of an ordinary human, it seems a bit far-fetched to steal things in the universe and become a chivalrous thief."
"Rudius's ancient bloodline must have some interesting origins."
"So, was Rudius's father his biological father or his adopted father? It seems unlikely that he was adopted."
"So, who exactly is Rudius's biological father in this life?"
Kitahara Iori looked at Rudeus in the light screen and said.
Rudeus has now become the most mysterious character in the light screen.
Just as Rudius was about to say something, he was interrupted by the Nova Supreme speaking first.
"Your friends are all here."
"On behalf of the Nova Corps, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."
"Thank you for saving Xandar."
[The Nova Supreme looked at Rudius and the other three and said, "Without their help, Ronan would have succeeded in destroying Xandar this time."]
[When Rocket Raccoon accepted Nova Supreme's thanks, he was holding a potted plant with a branch growing on it—the very branch that Groot had given him.]
"You can follow Dannelian Day; he has something to show you."
[The Nova Supreme extended his hand and said, referring to the Nova Officer whom Rudeus was quite familiar with.]
"Thank you, Nova Supreme."
Rudius thanked him and then turned and followed.
"You avenged your wife and daughter."
"Now they can rest in peace."
Alice walked up to Drax and said.
【"yes."】
"But ultimately, Ronan is just a puppet. I need to kill Thanos to truly avenge myself."
Drax spoke first, then quickened his pace and walked to the front. Alice watched Drax from behind, seemingly lost in thought.
"We wanted to preserve its original appearance and have done our best to make the necessary repairs."
[Dannirian Day pointed to the Arminus over there and said.]
Although Dannelian Day spoke somewhat modestly, the truth was that the Arminius was not only repaired, but also fully upgraded.
【"I……"】
Rudius looked at the drastically changed and much more handsome Arminos before him, feeling a little excited. After all, a good spaceship was essential for navigating the universe.
"Thank you."
Rudius didn't know what to say, but finally settled on a thank you.
"I also have a wife and children; thanks to you all, they were able to survive."
"Your criminal records have been completely erased."
"However, we still need to remind you that obeying the law is what makes a good citizen."
Rudius and the others nodded repeatedly.
[“What if I take something I really want, but it happens to belong to someone else?”]
Rocket Raccoon asked a question, but his question sounded very lacking in legal knowledge.
"It's simple, you'll be arrested."
"But what if I want that thing more than the owner does?"
"That's still illegal."
[Dannirian Day looked down at Rocket Raccoon and explained helplessly, "What I worry about most are people who have no legal knowledge but are still capable."]
"That doesn't make sense."
"I want it more, sir, you understand?"
"What are you laughing at?"
Alice patted Rocket Raccoon's head, then pulled him away, telling him not to scare him or cause any more trouble.
"Hey, why are you pulling me away? Can't I talk to this... law enforcement officer for a bit?"
[Rocket Raccoon talks as he walks.]
"What if someone angers me, and I decide to disembowel them?"
[Just as Rocket Raccoon finished asking his question, Drax ran out and asked his own.]
[After glancing at Rudius, Dai spoke.]
"That should be considered murder, one of the most heinous crimes."
"Therefore, it's also illegal."
Drax nodded and walked towards the Arminus, but Dai didn't know what the meaning of Drax's nod was.
"They will behave themselves as law-abiding citizens, Dai."
"I'll be watching them."
Rudius looked at Dai and said.
【"you?"】
