Adam Warlock easily repelled the Guardians' attacks before Mantis intervened by releasing Drax. After introducing the reclusive divine, the team convinced him to aid in Drax's recovery.
Through a metaphysical transition resembling a space odyssey, the Guardians entered Drax's mind to rescue him from his seductive Promise.
After Groot stuck the Stranger, Rocket threw a grenade towards him, which the Stranger blasted inside his palm. He mentioned that the Guardians did not know the gravity of their trespass.
Both Peter and Gamora started attacking the Stranger as if they did not care who was in their way. However, the Stranger was skilled enough to dodge every attack and strike back effortlessly.
When Peter and Gamora could not get the hang of the fight, Groot tried to struck the Stranger again. The Stranger looked upward as if he was expecting help from the heavens above.
Suddenly, the Stranger pulled Groot and attacked both Gamora and Peter with a sudden rage. He seemed genuinely angry at the team's persistence and started fighting with much more intensity.
Mantis finally acted and released Drax so he would fight the Stranger. Seeing the Destroyer up close, the Stranger realized something significant was happening and stopped his aggressive assault.
As the fighting stopped, Mantis took Drax under her spell again. She spoke to the Stranger, telling him how much they needed his help to save their friend and the galaxy.
Mantis introduced the stranger as Adam Warlock, and Star-Lord recalled him being Raker's old divine. Adam became convinced that the Guardians were not allies of the Church or Raker.
Suddenly, Mantis started walking inside the home of the Warlock, taking Drax along with her. The environment was strange and filled with ancient cosmic energy that hummed through the air.
The Guardians told Adam about Raker's deeds, and Gamora asked him to cure Drax. He refused, stating he swore never to repeat his heavenly healing, calling it a veiled malignance.
Mantis insisted that this time was different and that Adam needed to help fix the puzzle. She pointed at Drax's head, and suddenly a bright energy flash occurred, affecting everyone in the room.
It looked like everyone went unconscious. Peter mentioned it felt like the beginning of a Space Odyssey as the Guardians and Adam walked toward a massive, shiny sphere in a void.
Gamora noticed the shiny sphere was actually Drax's head. They were literally going inside his mind, as Mantis mentioned they had to find him within the manifestation of his Promise.
I'll show what happens next later.
I personally took all the screenshots from my play and I used a logo of the game from online to use in the thumbnail.
