Star-Lord's Lineage

Star-Lord and his crew spent ages trying to defeat the monster, only to have it instantly killed by Xia Yu in a single move.

Star-Lord and Rocket both shouted their discontent almost simultaneously.

Hey! Xia!

Gamora pursed her lips and put away her weapon.

"It wasn't my initiative. Drax just said he needed my help, and I asked him, and he said he was sure?"

Xia Yu shrugged, realizing he was completely innocent.

Anyway, just finish the fight, let Drax argue with them.

Xia Yu went straight to Natasha's side, wanting to tease Groot again.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Natasha saw right through Xia Yu.

She could understand what Drax meant, so Xia Yu understood them even better.

"This is too much trouble. I've been playing for ages, and more importantly, I'm so bored."

As Xia Yu spoke, he reached out a finger and touched Groot's little face.

Groot pushed Xia Yu's fingers away in disgust; he still remembered the grudge from earlier.

After the argument over there subsided, they came back and tormented Xia Yu's ears for several more minutes.

Sovereign's men finally arrived and wiped out the monster.

Their high priest would greet them politely, give them a meeting, and perhaps offer a reward.

This is another characteristic of the Sovereign people: hypocrisy.

However, they won't treat you very warmly; it's just a polite gesture.

They spoke politely, but the contempt on their faces was impossible to hide.

A bizarre race.

Inside the magnificent, golden hall, High Priestess Ayesha sat high above on her golden throne, a symbol of power.

The background is a blue radial pattern.

Except for the black floor, the entire hall is mostly gold, with some cool-toned blue lights used as accents.

Some Sovereign people stood on either side of the main hall.

Everyone had golden hair and golden eyes.

As Xia Yu said at the beginning, it's hard to feel any interest in this race.

Everything was golden yellow; it didn't feel like a real person.

For example, the eyeballs, eyelashes, and pupils are all golden yellow, except that the pupils are a bit darker than the whites of the eyes.

For some reason, Xia Yu always thought of those bronze human statues in the square when he saw them.

It's a performance art piece where someone is covered in copper paint from head to toe, pretending to be a statue.

Star-Lord led the group into the main hall, with Xia Yu and Natasha, wearing masks, following behind.

The Sovereign people's group all turned to look at them.

His eyes held curiosity, admiration, but mostly disdain.

A very polite and condescending attitude.

"I don't know why, but I really hate the way they look at us, and I really want to pull out my gun and kill them."

Rocket said in a low voice.

He is very sensitive to how others perceive him.

"Rocket, they're not targeting you; they look down on almost every race except their own."

Xia Yu comforted Rocket.

Once inside the main hall, stand still.

The high priest sat up straight and spoke to them in a very formulaic manner.

"Guardians of the Galaxy, thank you for saving us from danger. We cannot allow any of Sovereign's people to be threatened."

After a pause, the high priest continued proudly.

"We, the Sovereign people, are products of meticulous design; each one is perfect, both in spirit and body."

"We control the genes of future generations, nurturing them within artificial cocoons."

"I bet they say that to everyone who comes, showing off their genes. I just don't understand what's so great about their golden skin; I can't even tell the difference between men and women."

The Rocket approached Xia Yu again, muttering under its breath.

Star-Lord, fearing Rocket might overhear Rocket, quickly spoke loudly to cover up Rocket's voice.

"When it comes to having children, I still prefer the old method."

"If you have the chance, could you give me a history lesson, using the old methods of our ancestors, for an academic exchange?"

While watching the movie, Xia Yu couldn't understand why someone like the High Priest would directly extend such an obvious invitation to Star-Lord to have sex.

It wasn't until after watching the post-credits scene that we realized she must have seen the Celestial genes in Star-Lord, which led to her initial idea of creating Adam.

And Star-Lord, that spineless coward, actually agreed right in front of Gamora.

He deserved to be kicked.

"I feel deeply honored, in the name of research."

Having said that, Gamora gave Star-Lord a subtle, dismissive look.

Xia Yu could sense the intense killing intent in that gaze.

"I think that's a bit disgusting; I'm not that kind of person."

Star-Lord quickly changed the subject.

"Save your breath, he won't agree to that. Let's talk about serious matters. You promised us the reward for this mission; we're here to collect the money."

Gamora interrupted their flirtatious conversation.

Xia Yu wanted to reach out and touch his chin, but instead touched his mask.

He muttered to himself.

Why wasn't she so polite to me last time?

You can ask to try it now.

Natasha kicked Xia Yu's heel silently.

It's possible that Xia Yu and Natasha's subtle actions caught Ayesha's attention.

She ignored Gamora's words and looked directly at Xia Yu and Natasha.

"Is this your new member? Why is he wearing a mask? Isn't that disrespectful?"

"These are our temporary members. They were injured in the last battle, their faces are covered in sores, and I'm afraid they'll tarnish this perfect place."

Star-Lord quickly picked up where Ayesha left off.

Sure enough, when Star-Lord mentioned that their faces were covered in pustules, along with Ayesha and all the Sovereign people in the hall...

They all wore expressions of disgust.

"Now, can we talk about our bounty, High Priest?"

Gamora stepped forward again and said.

Ayesha gestured to the person next to her.

Two guards escorted a man in black robes out.

Upon opening the robe, they found Thanos, Gamora's Nebula.

Sovereign people definitely has obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially towards Nebula, their prisoner.

They even replaced all the replaceable metal parts on Nebula's head with golden ones.

I know she's your sister.

Ayesha is going to use Nebula to offset the bounty.

Nebula and Gamora have been fighting for half their lives. Although they have a sisterly bond, neither of them admits it.

A hint of worry flashed in Gamora's eyes. She stepped forward to help Nebula up, but did not unlock her handcuffs.

He stubbornly insisted.

"To me, she's just a bounty hunter from Xandar."

Despite saying that, Gamora accepted Nebula's offer to exchange their bounty for it.

Pulling Nebula along, the group turned back, ready to leave.

Ayesha suddenly stood up and spoke to Star-Lord in a very serious tone.

"Mr. Quill, your bloodline is quite strange?"

My mother is from Earth.

Star-Lord answered honestly.

Perhaps because of Xia Yu, Ayesha's lips curled slightly when Earth was mentioned.

"And what about your father?"

"I don't know much about my father, but he's not from Missouri. That's all I know."

Star-Lord was reluctant to talk about his father; he felt he had abandoned them.

"I see an extraordinary family lineage in you, very noble, but this combination is really..."

Ayesha considered her choice of words.

"Extremely irresponsible and a jerk."

So you think Earthlings are very inferior?

Natasha appeared at the front without anyone noticing and asked coldly.
