The Kyln, heavily guarded and fortified, housed the lower-level cell blocks where prisoners were held.
Disguised as the deceased alien guard, Kyle navigated effortlessly down the path illuminated by memories he had gleaned. Soon, he arrived at the area where faint cries of prisoners could be heard.
As the most secure section of the prison, security had been bolstered several times over. Cameras and alarms were installed in every corner, and numerous drones patrolled the corridors. Armed alien guards, fully equipped, were also more plentiful, unlike the less guarded and desolate outer corridors.
Approaching the entrance to the cell block area, Kyle saw other guards, but instead of showing any signs of retreat or nervousness, he casually walked past them, greeting the two guards affectionately. “Hey, Ruda, Budo. It’s your shift today!”
“Who are you?” One of the guards rotated his eyes, staring directly at Kyle.
“I’m Leo.” Kyle took off his helmet, revealing his disguised deep blue and ugly alien face with a bald head. He grinned, showing a row of white teeth to the guards of the same species.
The space in The Kyln was vast, with hundreds of guards stationed inside. However, as most guards had been working there for over a decade, they all had some degree of familiarity with each other, making it difficult for outsiders to infiltrate. But for Kyle, who had a perfect disguise, this was a boon.
“Oh, it’s you. Weren’t you mostly on exterior watch duty? Why suddenly come to the interior cell blocks?” Rudo suddenly realized, his vigilance instantly dissipating.
“I had no choice. The higher-ups said those guys led by Star-Lord were all connected to that murderer, Ronan. They need to be further interrogated. So, they specially sent me over to help,” Kyle sighed helplessly.
With the appearance and memories of a guard, his disguise was flawless, and even his excuses aligned perfectly with the intelligence and facts.
“That’s tough on you. The newcomers are all troublemakers, and very dangerous. Be careful in there.”
Feeling sympathetic, Budo kindly reminded him before operating the switch to open the door.
“I will.” Kyle waved to them, naturally stepping inside. The laser automatically recognized his identity, but even technology couldn’t penetrate his disguise down to the genetic level.
Inside the area where the prisoners were held, the space was much wider, with a central spaceship serving as the central control hub of the cell blocks. Surrounding it were rows of small space pods used as rest areas for the incarcerated.
Normally, the prisoners were allowed to move freely within the cell block area.
Just as Kyle entered the cell block area, he saw the outer perimeter filled with alien prisoners in yellow prison uniforms, but he hadn’t yet spotted Star-Lord’s figure. Suddenly, the lights dimmed in the area, and alarms blared from the walls.
“Woo, Woo, Woo—”
Kyle thought his cover had been blown, but to his surprise, countless drones ignored him and buzzed overhead, rushing towards the prisoners. They opened their armed weapons and issued cold voice warnings: “Everyone stay still! Otherwise, emergency measures will be taken!”
At the same time, many guard patrols armed with high-voltage batons or energy weapons rushed into the cell block area.
Kyle was momentarily stunned before he grabbed Rudo who was trying to run past him, and asked in astonishment, “What’s happening inside?”
“The power supply batteries in the cell block cages were pulled out by the inmates, and a few of them took the opportunity to cause trouble. They must be trying to escape. We must stop them quickly! Come with me!”
After hearing Rudo’s explanation, Kyle followed along with the other guards, heading deeper into the cell block area.
Escape attempt? What a coincidence!
Kyle couldn’t help but think sarcastically to himself as he ran. It was too coincidental that a jailbreak and an attempted prison break would happen at the same time.
In the cell block area, inside where the prisoners were held, a fierce battle was unfolding.
The most eye-catching figure was a treelike humanoid, standing upright with branches for limbs. Towering at three meters tall, Groot stood in the center of the arena, effortlessly blocking the gunfire from the surrounding guards with his dense branches.
“Ah-ha!” A raccoon-like small lifeform, Rocket, rode on Groot’s back, wielding a firearm seized from a guard, indiscriminately firing at the surrounding area.
Groot and the genetically modified lifeform Rocket, both veterans of the Guardians of the Galaxy, were putting up a fierce fight.
Kyle’s eyes lit up as he finally saw the “familiar faces” he recognized from the original story. Star-Lord must be nearby.
“Hurry up and take them down!”
A cold, piercing female voice echoed from above. A green-skinned woman, clad in a yellow prison uniform, leaped down with agility. She was swift and ruthless in her action as even before landing, she sliced through Rudo and two or three other guards who had just arrived at the scene.
As the green-skinned woman landed, a few guards fell like wheat before a scythe. With a bloodied blade in hand, she bounced off the ground like a cat, pouncing towards Kyle, who was disguised as a nearby guard.
Thanos’s adopted daughter? Gamora?
This thought flashed through Kyle’s mind, and in the next instant, the blade was nearing his throat, causing a discomfort as he sensed its sharpness. Although he knew that with just this ordinary cold weapon and the opponent’s strength, it couldn’t penetrate his formidable Asgardian defence and Venom layers of protection, his body still instinctively reacted.
“Clang!!!”
Gamora widened her eyes in astonishment. She had expected to effortlessly cut open the guard’s throat as before, but the blade was suddenly caught between the guard’s lightning-fast extended fingers.
With a tug, the blade remained motionless.
Gamora’s heart filled with even more shock as she looked at the guard’s face. It was no different from the other guards, the person standing in front of her looked like an ordinary prion guard.
However, the guard’s expression was indifferent and calm. His fingers casually gripped the blade, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, as if contemplating something.
Kyle was indeed contemplating something, something very important.
To him, Gamora was just an insignificant figure. But looking at the original plot’s perspective, Gamora was the most important person to Thanos, the key figure in obtaining the Soul Stone— the sacrifice needed for the completion of the Infinity Gauntlet!
“Since that’s the case, why not eliminate this crucial person?”
This thought briefly crossed Kyle’s mind, and suddenly, a torrent of killing intent flooded his eyes, completely changing his demeanor.
Gamora’s face turned incredibly pale, devoid of any resistance. She suddenly released the sword hilt, decisively turned around, and ran towards Groot, the treelike humanoid, as if fleeing for her life.
The feeling of insignificance, the sense of being considered nothing more than dust by the guard, reminded her of her adoptive father, Thanos, was too overwhelming. It made her soul tremble, her spine chill, and goosebumps erupt all over her body!
Escape! If she couldn’t escape, it would be her end!
