Something Is Wrong With This Universe

The goose-egg spaceship opened its hatch, and Ego and Mantis slowly stepped out.

"After all these years, I'm so glad to see you again!"

Although he was walking at the very back, Star-Lord was certain that the bearded man was looking at him.

"Hu'eryou?"

"I thought my weathered but handsome face was enough proof that my name is Ego, and I'm your father, Peter!"

Ego put on what he thought was a very benevolent smile and slowly approached Star-Lord.

Suddenly, Ego stopped, not because Star-Lord hadn't moved, but because someone else had.

Lin Xu clenched his fist and approached Ego.

"Thank you for just saving my son; you've earned my friendship."

"Looks weathered, huh? And handsome, huh?" Lin Xu ignored Ego's attempts to get close to him and continued talking to himself.

"Wait, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Bang~

"I'll make you gain friendship, and I'll make you abandon your wife and children."

Bang~

"Do you even know that Peter's mother is dead! I treated her like my own daughter, and this is how you treat her? Huh?"

With two punches, Ego's energy clone was deformed, and Ego, who was originally going to fight back, immediately released his fists.

Endure! You must endure!

Although he didn't know how this Asgard person appeared out of nowhere had gotten involved with Star-Lord's mother, Star-Lord hadn't gone to Ego the Living Planet yet, and he couldn't let him see his cruel side.

Hmph, once we get back to my hometown, I'll slowly deal with you, you false god!

"Excuse me... this person..."

"Call me uncle!"

Ego turned to look at his son, and seeing him nod in confirmation, he finally managed to say with difficulty, "Un... cle!"

'You wretched Asgard person, you just wait!'

Star-Lord on the other side was even more bewildered. His mind was completely blank, and his nod was just a subconscious reaction.

What do you mean his great-uncle came to his door from across the universe? What do you mean his father came to his door in a spaceship? What is all this nonsense?!

When Lin Xu heard Ego call him "uncle," he couldn't help but blurt out, even though it was just a relationship he had forcibly created for himself to make his way to Ego the Living Planet a legitimate destination.

But, haha!

"Hey Peter, you two chat, I need to go find Drax for something... cough cough"

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just overdid it when I attacked the spaceship... pfft..."

Ego: Those damned Asgardians, they're definitely laughing, huh! Just you wait!

Lin Xu wasn't lying; he really did have something to discuss with Drax.

He had just thought about it, and realized that even for a cyborg, age couldn't be calculated from the time of the modification; there must be something he didn't know.

With less than a year to go before the Dark Crisis, any small thing could trigger a major change in the future, and he dared not gamble.

"Hey big red guy, come with me."

After taking a couple of steps, Lin Xu noticed that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw the burly Drax standing next to Mantis.

Mantis: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Drax: "I'm curious, why are you so ugly?"

Mantis: "Am I ugly?! I've lived on Ego the Living Planet since I was a child, I don't know what beauty or ugliness is."

Drax: "Just look in the mirror and you'll see."

Mantis: "Thank you~"

Drax: "You're welcome."

Lin Xu almost laughed out of exasperation at the two of them; they were such idiots.

"Drax!"

Upon hearing Lin Xu's shout, Drax instantly froze, like a wooden statue.

Mantis: "He seems to be calling you."

Drax: "Don't speak. If I don't move, no one will be able to see me."

Mantis: "Really? You seem quite afraid of him."

Drax: "No, I just don't know what to call him. He's Star-Lord's great-uncle, and I'm Star-Lord's comrade-in-arms. Logically, I should call him great-uncle too, but I just can't bring myself to say it."

"If you don't come here, I'll tie a piece of hemp to your breasts!"

Drax crossed his arms over his chest, abruptly turned, and walked towards Lin Xu. Although he didn't know what a "Homa" was, he absolutely wouldn't allow anything to touch his private parts!

Soon, the two arrived at the grove.

Drax was still clutching his chest.

You're acting like nobody's going to do anything to you.

Lin Xu let out a long breath, suppressed his agitated fist, and took out the Eye of Agamotto from his chest.

He was about to unleash "Agamotto's Desire to Know" for the third time.

This is the last time, he swore!

In the fifth second, he saw Drax reigning supreme in Xandar prison, untouchable by anyone, until he encountered Star-Lord and his crew.

In the tenth second, he saw Drax searching the entire universe for Thanos, vowing revenge for the massacre of his family, and finally being arrested and imprisoned in Xandar prison for robbery.

In the fifteenth second, he saw a body submerged in a solution.

In the twentieth second, he saw... Mephisto.

Holy crap, Mephisto, what are you doing everywhere?

In Hell, Mephisto stood before an incredibly tall figure, sending out a human soul with a mixture of respect and reluctance.

Then, the figure turned around!

Lin Xu didn't know how to describe those eyes—deep, weathered, ancient, and all-seeing!

The Eye of Agamotto burned again, startling him so much that he quickly interrupted the forbidden spell.

"Holy crap, is my luck really that bad? Or is this forbidden technique really forbidden?"

This is the third time! Damn it, it's malfunctioned three times in a row. If I use this thing again, I'm a dog!

Opening his eyes and taking a deep breath, Lin Xu looked at Drax, who was already sleeping standing in front of him, and had two questions in his mind.

Why does a human soul appear when we look at Drax's past? Who is he?

First of all, based on what he just felt, this tall figure was definitely no match for Cyttorak and Knull, otherwise Mephisto would have been even more humble than he had seen.

But those eyes were so strange. The last time I had this feeling was when I was facing Agamotto; it was like the power of time!

Time, a towering figure...

Could it be Thanos's grandfather, the ancient Titan Loronos?

He remembered that in the original setting, Drax was indeed resurrected by the god of time Kronos, specifically to fight Thanos, and even crushed Thanos's heart with his bare hands during the Interstellar Oblivion event.

But isn't that the Marvel Comics Universe? This Drax looks rather goofy, clearly from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he can't even fly.

To verify my suspicions.

Lin Xu strode forward and slapped Drax, who was still dozing off.

Astral Projection!

The soul of an Earthling wearing a windbreaker instantly sprang out of Drax's body.

His appearance was exactly the same as the soul that the Mephisto had sent away!!

"Waaaaah, wife! Daughter!! Waaaaah..."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Arthur Sampson Douglas. I was a real estate agent. While traveling with my family, we encountered an alien spaceship and I was killed. Later, someone contacted me and said he would resurrect me on the condition that I kill his grandson."

Lin Xu felt like the sky had fallen after hearing that!

What the hell is this ultimate Frankenstein's monster?

Movie plot, What If...? a fantasy, Thanos from the comics.

I want to retire too!!
