Chapter 245: Symbol of Alliance

As Thor stood up, panting, a roar came from the sky. Thor looked up and saw a strange-looking spaceship quickly landing on the edge of the battlefield. The outer shell of the spaceship was painted with bright colors, which looked out of place with the serious battle scene around it.

Thor raised his hand, holding the hammer in his hand. He stared at the hatch of the spaceship with vigilant eyes. After the spaceship landed, the hatch slowly opened, and a man in a red jacket walked down from the spaceship. His steps were relaxed, with a confident and frivolous smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the war around him at all.

Peter Quill walked down the spacecraft, shaking his head, looking around, as if looking for something. He held a seemingly ordinary gun in his hand, but his eyes revealed alertness.

"Hey, are there any enemies here? Roman Day said there's a big battle here, and I don't want to miss it." Peter Quill said loudly with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Thor was still alert, his eyes fixed on Peter Quill: "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Peter Quill saw Thor's look and smiled frivolously: "Wow, you look like you just finished a big battle? I'm Star-Lord, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Are you the boss here?"

Thor frowned slightly, remaining alert to the man who called himself "Star-Lord": "My name is Thor, the God of Asgard. There has just been a fierce battle here, and you have arrived at the right time."

Just as Peter Quill was about to continue teasing Thor, a woman in a green combat suit walked down from the spaceship. With a stern look in her eyes, she walked towards Peter Quill step by step and knocked him on the head without any hesitation.

"Stop talking nonsense. Ronan is there." Gamora pointed speechlessly at Ronan who was already lying on the ground.

Peter Quill rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly: "Well, it seems we are a step late."

Thor let down his guard and nodded slowly: "Are you here to help?"

Gamora gave Peter Quill a cold look, then turned to Thor: "We are here to stop Ronan. It looks like you've taken care of him."

Thor smiled and held out his hand, "It's good to see you. Ronan has been defeated, but there is still much that needs to be dealt with."

Peter Quill shook Thor's hand and said with a smile, "Well, Thor. Looks like we've come to the right place."

......

The scene changed and returned to Ronan's Dark Star battleship. Nathan Hawke stood in the battleship's main control room, staring at the holographic display in front of him. The portable AI brain was quickly analyzing and acquiring various data of the battleship, and most of the information had been successfully cracked and downloaded.

"Intelligent brain, report the current progress." Nathan Hawke said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the display screen.

"Boss, we have gained primary control of the Dark Star battleship. All the battleship's technical data, weapon systems, and navigation information have been successfully downloaded." The intelligent computer reported calmly.

Nathan Hawke nodded with satisfaction, knowing that this battleship would be an important asset for the Umbrella Corporation. He made a quick decision and planned to wait until he met Thor to propose to him to bring the battleship back to the Umbrella headquarters on Earth.

At the same time, on the other side of the battleship, Andre was leading the Asgard warriors to clean up the battle. After the fierce battle, there were only a few Kree Empire soldiers left in the battleship. Andre used his telekinetic ability to quickly deal with the last few enemies who resisted.

"All enemies have been cleared and the threat inside the battleship has been lifted." Andre reported to Nathan Hawke through the communicator.

Nathan Hawke observed the situation inside the battleship through the holographic display and confirmed that everything was under control.

"Ok?"

A slight movement immediately alerted Nathan Hawke.

Nathan Hawke immediately turned to the other side of the battleship vigilantly, and suddenly heard a loud shout that broke the silence inside the battleship.

"Didn't you tell me Ronan was here?" A rough voice echoed in the corridor of the battleship. Nathan Hawke's eyes passed through the holographic display and locked onto the source of the voice.

Drax's burly figure appeared at the end of the corridor, walking carelessly, his face full of anger and confusion. He held a huge double-edged sword in his hand, and was obviously ready to fight.

Following closely behind him, Rocket Raccoon looked nervous and anxious, his eyes constantly scanning around, obviously looking for something valuable. While trying to comfort Drax, Rocket Raccoon whispered, "Drax, be quiet, we have to be careful!"

Drax didn't listen at all. He stopped and glared at Rocket Raccoon: "You said Ronan is here! I came here just for him!"

At the same time, a huge tree man slowly walked out of the shadows of the corridor. It was Groot. He looked puzzled and innocent, but he also followed behind Drax and Rocket Raccoon.

Nathan Hawke reacted quickly, his eyes were like torches, his body leaned forward slightly, and his hands were slightly raised. Telekinesis quickly condensed in the air, forming an invisible force.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan Hawke said coldly, his voice echoing inside the battleship through the communication system.

Drax turned around abruptly and looked at Nathan Hawke, his face full of anger: "I'm here to find Ronan, who are you?"

Nathan Hawke did not answer. His telekinesis surged rapidly, turning into an invisible force, pulling Drax, Rocket Raccoon and Groot in front of him.

"You don't have permission to operate here." Nathan Hawke said coldly, his eyes fixed on Rocket Raccoon, "You'd better explain yourself, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Rocket Raccoon glanced nervously at Drax before quickly saying, "We're just... uh, coming to see if there's anything valuable here."

Nathan Hawke smiled coldly, his eyes swept across Drax and Groot, and then returned to Rocket Raccoon: "You'd better restrain yourself, this is not a place where you can mess around."

Drax was still angry, but under the powerful telekinetic pressure of Nathan Hawke, he could only suppress his anger temporarily. Groot looked at Nathan Hawke innocently, obviously not understanding the situation in front of him.

Nathan Hawke slowly put down his hand, and the power of telekinesis gradually dissipated. He said coldly: "You'd better not cause any more trouble."

Rocket Raccoon nodded hastily, pulling Drax and Groot to leave. Although Drax was unwilling, he knew that in front of such a powerful man, he would only suffer if he forced himself. They quickly turned around and disappeared into the corridor of the battleship.

......

Three days later, Nathan Hawke walked into a bright ward at the Nova Medical Center, the highest-standard hospital on Xandar. The room was filled with advanced medical equipment, and soft lighting created a comfortable atmosphere. Thor was lying on the bed, still wrapped in some bandages, but his mental state seemed to have improved a lot.

"Thor," Nathan Hawke walked to the bedside with a smile, "How are you recovering?"

Thor smiled and nodded, "Not bad, Nathan. Thank you for your concern."

Nathan Hawke sat in a chair beside the bed and said, "You are the hero of this battle, Thor. The media outside are reporting that without you, it would be impossible to defeat Ronan."

Thor waved his hand and said modestly, "This is our joint effort, Nathan."

Nathan Hawke nodded, a serious look flashing in his eyes: "Thor, I want to tell you a good news. After a few days of negotiations, Roman Day and I have finalized all matters concerning the diplomatic alliance. Xandar will formally establish a strategic alliance with Asgard to jointly maintain peace and security in the Milky Way."

Thor showed a relieved smile on his face: "This is good news, Nathan. We need such allies to fight against future threats."

Nathan Hawke smiled and nodded. “Yes, but the final signing and photo taking still need to be done by you and Queen Adora. This will be a historic moment, marking the official start of the cooperation.”

Thor frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled, but still asked humbly, "Why do I have to sign with Adora?"

Nathan Hawke explained: "This is the tradition of Xandar. They attach great importance to symbolism. As a representative of Asgard, your personal participation will strengthen the symbolic significance of this alliance and make more people believe in the sincerity and determination of this cooperation. After all, you are the man who defeated Ronan personally."

Thor pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand, Nathan. I will prepare myself and complete this important task as soon as possible."

Nathan Hawke chuckled and looked at Thor, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "You know, Thor, since you defeated Ronan, you have become a big star on Xandar. Many people here, especially young ladies, are fascinated by you. I heard that many people are planning to marry you."

Thor's face turned red instantly, and he smiled awkwardly: "Really? Nathan, you are kidding."

Nathan Hawke shook his head and smiled: "I'm not kidding, Thor. You are now a hero on this planet, and many people regard you as an idol."

Thor scratched his head a little sheepishly, trying his best to hide his embarrassment: "Well, this is really an unexpected 'honor'."

Nathan Hawke continued, "However, I also want to talk to you about the ownership of the Power Stone today. Roman Day and the Nova Corps intend to hand over the Power Stone to you. They think this is the safest option."

Thor's expression turned serious, and he whispered, "The Power Stone is indeed a very dangerous existence. Its power cannot fall into the wrong hands."

Nathan Hawke nodded in agreement. "Right, Thor. We have to keep it safe."

Thor thought for a moment and looked at Nathan Hawke with a firm gaze: "Nathan, I want to give the Power Stone to you. After all, the last time I gave you the Space Stone, you have been keeping it well without any problems. I believe you will not abuse the power of the Power Stone."

Nathan Hawke was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Thor, do you really trust me?"

Thor nodded firmly, "Yes, Nathan. We have fought side by side. I know you and I believe in you. You have the ability and wisdom to handle this matter."

Nathan Hawke smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Thor, I will handle the power gem properly and ensure its safety. Thank you for your trust."

Thor showed a relaxed smile: "This is also a relief for me. After all, this power is too strong. I don't want it to bring more trouble."
