Chapter 1145: Arrive!

As the young tree-being Groot enveloped everyone in the c.o.c.kpit with his branches, Rocket, who clearly understood what he was about to do, screamed with all his might.

In their last encounter, the mature Groot had sacrificed himself to protect them when the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p crashed and exploded upon impact. As a result, Groot had resurrected through a small branch, but who could say if the same fate awaited him this time if Groot exploded.

Moreover, this time, it wasnt the safe haven of Xandar but the consuming black mist surrounding them. Even if Groot managed to protect them momentarily, he couldnt safeguard them indefinitely.

Dont! Youll really die this way!

Groot!

After Dormammus main body cross over with a part of itself to envelop the Milano and its crew in front, its main body floated leisurely in that direction. Under Dormammus influence, the Milanos energy would quickly be devoured, and the people inside it would soon meet the same fate.

Humming!

However, just as Dormammu floated over leisurely, a wave of intense spatial energy fluctuations appeared between its main body and the trapped Milano. Subsequently, a stable rift in s.p.a.ce was forcefully torn open in front of Dormammu, creating a spatial crack.

Then, a slightly larger dark silver s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p than the Milano burst forth suddenly from this newfound spatial rift!

Swis.h.!.+

This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that emerged from the spatial crack was, of course, the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that Lin Rui and the others had taken from Earth. Though the position opened by the Portal slightly differed from the coordinates given by Star-Lord, it wasnt too far off.

In fact, when they emerged, they ended up positioned directly between Dormammus main body and the trapped Milano.

Humming!

After J.A.R.V.I.S.-controlled s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p rushed out of the Portal, the spatial crack that was no longer supported by the strength of s.p.a.ce rapidly shrank, finally disappearing. At this moment, Tony and the others, venturing out of Earth for the first time and entering s.p.a.ce, were about to confront Dormammu, the boss of the dark dimension.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Just as the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p appeared in the starry sky, J.A.R.V.I.S., who had been constantly monitoring the situation outside, detected the immense cloud of black mist br.i.m.m.i.n.g with infinite energy ahead.

Thus, while Tony and the others were still anxiously studying Lin Ruis unconscious state, piercing alarms began resounding throughout the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

Target identified! Initiating strategic s.h.i.+ft!! Following this, J.A.R.V.I.S.s voice clearly resounded in everyones ears.

As J.A.R.V.I.S.s voice echoed, Tony and the others, who were still strapped to their seats, suddenly felt an immense force pressing them firmly against the backrest. Subsequently, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps engines switched to maximum power, and its speed instantly surged to the limit.

In front of Dormammu, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p executed a half-arc trajectory, rus.h.i.+ng away from him and the Milano, which was still entrapped.

Dormammu, it seemed, hadnt antic.i.p.ated the sudden appearance of the spatial crack and was still processing the event. He watched as the approaching rescue crew abruptly turned and charged toward the position he had intercepted.

Not that it mattered since this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that had seemingly popped out of nowhere would meet the same fate as the Milano, being devoured by him.

This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p from Earth was indeed a product of technology far surpa.s.sing the capabilities of Earth, but it was ultimately the lowest-level model Lin Rui had acquired through an exchange.

Thus, even when its speed was pushed to the limit, it wasnt exceptionally fast and was much slower than the Milano. Even though Dormammu floated leisurely in the back, their distance was closing steadily.

J.A.R.V.I.S., have you located Star-Lords s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p?! Our main objective this time is rescue; if we can avoid engaging with Dormammu, we should! As the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p surged forward, Tony gritted his teeth and shouted.

Huff, huff~

As he spoke, a deep crimson light blinked to life on Tonys body. Soon, Tony was encased in a splendid suit of silver-red Iron Man armor. Subsequently, he unfastened his seatbelt and walked out of his chair.

Being the first to recover from the acceleration, Tony started acting. After standing up, he made his way to a side position near the c.o.c.kpit. There, Lin Rui, who hadnt awakened yet, was being cradled by the already-transformed Hank, now Beast.

After opening a sufficiently large spatial crack on Earth, Lin Rui erupted with too much energy and fell into unconsciousness. In the final moments of descent, Blink had opened a portal, bringing him back into the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. The Magic Cube had also fallen with Lin Rui, and at this point, it was still held in Blinks hand.

As the others adapted to the sudden acceleration, they too stood up from their seats. After all, the people partic.i.p.ating in this mission werent ordinary; for them, the life-threatening acceleration was merely something they needed a short time to adjust to. Seeing Tony walking over, Hank, now Beast, handed Lin Rui over.

Weve detected the signal of another s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Its directly ahead. Upon hearing Tonys query, J.A.R.V.I.S. quickly responded.

Though Dormammus black mist possessed terrifying devouring power, it didnt seem to affect signal transmission significantly. Upon detecting Dormammu, J.A.R.V.I.S. had also discovered the trapped Milano shortly thereafter.

Swis.h.!.+

As J.A.R.V.I.S. answered Tonys question, a light screen projected from the front of the c.o.c.kpit, divided into two sections. One displayed the position where the Milano was being consumed, while the other showed Dormammu approaching from behind. It was clear that if they were to rescue Star-Lord, theyd have to face Dormammu.

Jackson, you sure know how to get us into a big mess! Holding the still unconscious Lin Rui, Tony frowned in exasperation as he gazed at the projected screens.

Before the operation began, Lin Rui had made everyone well aware of Dormammus terror. The most crucial objective of this mission wasnt defeating Dormammu but rescuing Star-Lord.

The confrontation with Dormammu was a last-resort option. Moreover, Lin Rui firmly believed that Sorcerers would take action. When the time came, the task of dealing with Dormammu would fall to the Ancient One and the sorcerers while they provided support on the sidelines.

Rather than entrusting our fate to those unreliable folks, its better to take control ourselves! J.A.R.V.I.S., full speed ahead, break through that mist to save Star-Lord and then retreat! Muttering to himself, Tony calmly issued the command.

Having just entered s.p.a.ce and encountered Dormammu for the first time, Tony clearly hadnt yet witnessed Dormammus true might. He believed that breaking through the mist was an easy task, and getting away from Dormammu was just as simple.
