Quill was as agitated as an ant on a hot pot. He quickly contacted the Stark Group next but to no avail. Stark was absent too. When Rocket Raccoon tried to contact Shiller, Shiller didn't answer either.
These two unlucky souls discovered that all influential humans they knew were absent. They were stuck on Earth, unable to leave.
Just when the man and the raccoon were at their wits' end, Quill suddenly heard a mysterious voice whispering in his ear: "Peter Quill? Peter Quill? Can you hear me?"
Quill, who was taking refuge in a small alley, was taken aback by the sudden voice in his ear. He looked around nervously and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Warlock Adam, the embodiment of the Court of Adam Life. I have come to warn you. The Annihilators from the Antimatter Universe of your galaxy have begun their invasion. You must find a way to stop these insects!"
"What are you talking about?" Quill asked in confusion. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he said to the mysterious voice, "Did you just mention insects? What the hell is happening? Are Yondu and the Ravager team in danger?"
"There's no time, we'll speak on the way. I'll open a portal for you. We meet in the constellation Centaurus."
As soon as the voice dropped, a portal appeared before Quill and Rocket Raccoon. Worried about Yondu's situation, Quill entered the portal without a second thought.
After leaving the portal, he found himself in a somewhat familiar place. It seemed to be a mercenary tavern on Centauri Black Glitter Star, a place the Ravager team used to frequent for leisure.
As soon as Quill walked out of the portal, he saw a blond man in armor and a red cloak standing in front of him. The man walked up to him as soon as he saw him, saying, "Hello, I am Warlock Adam who sent you the message. I have prepared a small spaceship for you to Distant Star Port of the Kree Empire."
"Wait, I have so many things I don't understand. You have to explain to me…"
"There's no time, get on the spaceship first. We'll talk on the way, I'll tell you everything."
Warlock Adam's eyes flashed, and both Quill and Rocket Raccoon felt their bodies uncontrollable. The man and raccoon were quickly taken by Warlock Adam to board the spaceship at Black Glitter Star Port.
The moment Warlock Adam released his control, Rocket Raccoon and Quill both pointed their weapons at him. Adam shook his head and said, "We're not enemies. Don't aim your guns at me. I'll explain everything now."
"There was an accident on Earth. Someone used a particle collider to cause a high-speed particle stream to collide with antimatter particles. Thereby, this has opened a portal between the material and antimatter universes at the corresponding coordinates in the material universe."
"But the problem is, the portal shouldn't have been opened now!" Adam exclaimed regretfully.
"Why? Is it because the enemy on the other side is very strong, and the creatures in the universe can't deal with it now?"
"No, it has nothing to do with that." While operating the spaceship, Adam continued, "I am the embodiment of the Court of Adam Life. The Court of Adam Life is the higher power of Eternity. …Anyway, I am the incarnation of a transcendent god, and this transcendent god is born out of the invasion event by the Annihilators."
"But none of that matters. The important thing is, this universe has a super bomb. You can't imagine the power of the bomb's explosion. The universe could be blown up on the outer wall of the larger world, and it could endanger countless universes within the larger world. That's why I've been monitoring it closely."
"About a year ago, this Mr. Time Bomb made a series of complicated plans just to let the Annihilators debut at his designated time and then be wiped out according to his predetermined method to fulfill his even more complex goals."
"He is a complete lunatic. If anyone doesn't follow his plan, he grants misery to all. Now he has been delayed by some matters and hasn't been able to carry out his plan. However, the Annihilators have already debuted. What if he goes crazy when he comes back and finds out that the important target in his plan is missing?"
Adam controlled the spaceship to speed up, and said in a somewhat frustrated tone: "I also have a superior. If the explosion of this universe ruins the larger world, I'm going to die. So, you need to find a way to correct this quickly!"
"But didn't you say you are an incarnation of a certain god? Can't you solve all this yourself?"
"I am just an incarnation, not the whole entity. In this universe, I'm just Warlock Adam, and moreover, I don't dare to act recklessly. One of the triggers of the bomb explosion is the arbitrary intervention of gods in the universe!"
"So where are you sending us now? What do we need to do?" Quill asked, bewildered.
"The Annihilators have already breached the Distant Star Port of the Kree Empire. The Sixteenth Star District of theirs is in chaos. You can take advantage of the confusion and save a special existence from the Kree Empire Prison. His name is Groot."
Quill was even more puzzled and asked, "Who is Groot? Why do we have to save him?"
"Don't ask so many questions. You were supposed to rescue him during the Annihilators' event, but the humans on Earth were so chaotic that they almost trapped you on Earth. I'm just correcting the original world line by bringing you out."
"If you defeat the Annihilators and send them back to their old home in the Antimatter Universe, in accordance with the original world line, then Mr. Time Bomb would be able to release them again according to his original plan, and successfully carry it out. Then he won't explode."
After saying this, Adam turned to find both the man and the raccoon with dumbfounded expressions on their faces. Adam slapped his forehead and said, "Still don't understand? You two are too slow!"
"Now there is no time for you to develop slowly. So I plan to speed up the process. First, take advantage of the current chaos and go to the Kree Empire's prison to save Groot. I'll find a way to bring Gamora back from the Dark Domain. Then, we find Drax in the fallen area."
"Then you guys quickly form the Guardians of the Galaxy, then quickly join the Nova Corps, form an Anti-Destroyer Alliance hastily, quickly kill the Annihilator and other insect race leaders, quickly shove the annihilators back into the antimatter universe and rapidly restore peace to the universe- all of this would be best completed within two days."
"That way, we can correct the world line before Shiller returns. Hurry up, the salvation of the universe is up to you!"
