Chapter 1147: Trust

Inside the Milano, Star-Lord and his team were now standing at the forefront of the cockpit, peering through the glass at the Earth-originated Spaceship flying parallel to the Milano.

They were genuinely surprised that Lin Rui had actually received their distress signal and come to support them. After all, when they had met Lin Rui on that alien planet, he had informed them about Earth’s development and the unlikelihood of having such advanced technology as the Spaceship.

However, reflecting on the recent events where the Milano broke through the black mist, Star-Lord found the sight of the Spaceship less astonishing. Originally, while Rocket still held three super-energy batteries, detonating them at close range would have blown the Milano to pieces.

Yet, at the very last moment when the Milano’s defense energy shield had been completely consumed by the devouring mist, Star-Lord had pulled out a metallic sphere and pressed it firmly.

The instant Star-Lord pressed the sphere, a translucent energy shield emerged from within, enveloping the main body of the Milano. The defense capability of this energy shield released from the metallic sphere was even stronger than the 100% energy defense shield of the Milano.

Seeing this energy shield blocking the mist’s devouring, Star-Lord promptly had Rocket throw out the remaining three super-energy batteries and detonate them. It was a desperate gamble.

This time, Star-Lord’s gamble paid off. The translucent energy shield not only withstood the mist’s devouring, but it also protected most of the Milano’s main body from the immense force of the three super-energy batteries’ explosions.

Although the energy shield disappeared after enduring the impact of three consecutive intense explosions and the metallic sphere shattered in Star-Lord’s hand, it had nonetheless pulled Star-Lord and his team back from the brink of doom.

The miraculous metallic sphere possessing such powerful defense energy wasn’t something Star-Lord had acquired on his own or stolen as Rocket had. It was a gift that Lin Rui, in secret, had given him during their parting on the alien planet.

Aware that Star-Lord and his team would encounter various crises in the universe, especially when facing Star-Lord’s biological father, Star-Lord might even lose his adoptive father, Yondu.

Thus, during their parting on the alien planet, Lin Rui spent a considerable amount of Reward points to provide Star-Lord with this defensive item. However, not long after their parting, Star-Lord returned to Earth, encountered Dormammu here, and coincidentally used up that metallic sphere.

“Now… we can finally have a great battle!” The Milano and the adjacent Earth Spaceship had almost come to a stop. Drax the Destroyer, standing in front of the cockpit, tightly gripped his blade and roared.

Although Drax didn’t know how to fight something like this entity composed entirely of black mist, it didn’t hinder his eagerness for battle. After all, as the mighty Destroyer, he was unwilling to surrender before even entering combat. Even if he couldn’t defeat the opponent, he would use his blade to leave several cracks in the mist.

“That’s right, we can have a proper battle now. Moreover, we have more allies now. Who knows, these people from my planet might bring us some surprises.” Hearing Drax’s roar, Star-Lord’s tone carried a hint of hope.

As for Gamora and Rocket, they remained silent. Gamora had already placed life and death beyond consideration; besides Star-Lord, her reason for living was her hatred for her adoptive father, Thanos.

If she could die alongside Star-Lord now, Gamora would harbor no resentment. Rocket, on the other hand, continued to send messages, attempting to establish contact with other forces in the universe, hoping to find more potent support.

Then there was Groot, who had retracted the branches he had extended earlier. Groot knew they would face a tremendous threat next, but as long as he was with his companions, he wouldn’t fear any danger.

While the occupants of the Milano were preparing for the impending attack from outside, in the adjacent E Grade Spaceship, Rogers and his team had gathered around the awakening Lin Rui.

For Rogers and the others, this operation was entirely orchestrated by Phantom Knight. They had successfully broken free from Earth, come to the vast cosmos, and were now confronted with such a terrifying opponent. They needed to know what to do next.

Seeing the comrades and allies gathered around him, Lin Rui, beneath the Phantom Knight mask, had a slightly pale face, suppressing his nervous emotions. This time, these comrades and allies had entrusted their lives entirely to Lin Rui.

If he couldn’t ensure the safety of these guardians of Earth, he wouldn’t forgive himself, even if he died.

“Dormammu’s power is something I think we don’t need to repeat. Everyone should regard him as an entity capable of casually obliterating a planet. Since you all trust me for this operation, I won’t let you sacrifice yourselves to protect Earth. So, I ask everyone to listen to my plans from now on!” With a glimmer of deep light in his gaze, Lin Rui spoke, scanning the companions and allies around him as he continued.

“Phantom Knight, speak your mind. We’re following your lead this time!” After Lin Rui finished speaking, Tony was the first to express his support.

While voicing his support for Lin Rui, Tony’s gaze remained fixed on the youngster before him, who had grown up under his watchful eye.

From the beginning, when he could only fight against street-level criminal families, to now leading Earth’s protectors out of the planet to resist cosmic threats, Phantom Knight’s growth had been faster than Tony could have imagined. Apart from approving, Tony was also filled with pride.

“Rest assured, we’ve followed you here and placed complete trust in you.” After Tony, Professor Charles continued.

“I’m with you as well.” Captain Rogers was the last to respond, and his words were quite remarkable for someone like Captain America in such a situation.

Receiving everyone’s replies, Lin Rui’s expression showed a hint of relief. He continued, “Since that’s settled, I ask everyone to equip Mr. Stark’s latest Iron Man suits. Thor, Bobby, Dr. Banner, I need you to come with me.”

After Lin Rui spoke, everyone dispersed. Following J.A.R.V.I.S.’s rapid instructions, they all armed themselves with the latest Iron Man suits. Subsequently, Lin Rui arranged for them to stay in the cockpit. As for Lin Rui, he led Thor, Iceman Bobby, and Dr. Banner toward the rear compartment.

After Lin Rui had arranged the positions of his companions, Dormammu, who had leisurely floated over “slowly,” was now approaching behind them.
