The Vanished Seed

System Tasks:

Taking advantage of Ego's unconscious state, he used the power of the Mind Stone to erase the evil Celestial's regenerative consciousness and completely take control of the planet.

This brain contains a vast amount of spiritual power, which can help its owner elevate their soul and spiritual level, and accelerate their control over the Infinity Stones.

Quest Item: A drug that can incapacitate Celestial (made from the brain fluid of an ancient evil Celestial and various rare cosmic herbs, crafted by the Collector Elders of the Universe).

PS: Using a drug made from the Ancient Celestial brain matter to knock out his brain is truly a case of using the original ingredients to digest the original food!

That same evening, Tmall assigned Xia Yu the task.

Star-Lord was still enthusiastically learning from Ego how to activate the energy in his bloodline.

Drax is having a heart-to-heart talk with Mantis.

Completely unaware that Xia Yu was considering how to rescue them, and also unaware that Yondu was being betrayed by his own men in order to protect Star-Lord.

Yondu was betrayed by most of his subordinates, led by the same guy with the Taserface who had met Xia Yu once before.

Within Yondu's Ravagers squad, all Ravagers Yondu were brutally thrown into space after Taserface.

If Groot hadn't been small enough to steal back the prototype radio transmitter from Yondu's head, Rocket and the others might have been defeated by Yondu's foolish henchmen.

Yondu and Rocket wreaked havoc on the spaceship, and even Groot used his branch to throw a Ravagers off a height.

These guys have bullied Groot quite a bit.

After dealing with these traitors, Rocket, having learned the truth from Yondu, immediately contacted Xia Yu.

Xia Yu always carries a universally compatible communicator with him.

Standing on Ego's main body, Xia Yu cautiously used Energy Shield to block out sound.

He whispered and talked to Rockets and Yondu for a long time, but it's unclear what plan they discussed.

Ego's mental strength is exceptionally powerful, even when he is still and not thinking.

He could even sense every tiny change in his own body.

But now most of his energy is focused on dealing with Star-Lord and Xia Yu.

His control over the planet wasn't comprehensive, but he controlled the core, which was his true brain.

It's still very sensitive.

Therefore, Xia Yu had to take advantage of the moment when the man was fully engaged in his actions to administer the drug to his brain.

Xia Yu was confident that he could easily defeat Ego in a head-on confrontation.

But he couldn't bear to leave this planet.

Now that all the personnel have been arranged, Xia Yu is just waiting for the moment when Ego will make his move.

However, Ego remained cautious, knowing that Xia Yu was quite powerful.

He didn't dare to make a move until he had completely dealt with Xia Yu.

So, unlike in the movie, Ego didn't rush to attack Star-Lord.

Instead, a grand banquet was held that night to warmly welcome Star-Lord's friends.

This was to further lower Xia Yu and the others' guard.

Sure enough, after nightfall, Xia Yu, who had drunk quite a bit, slept soundly with Natasha in his arms.

At that moment, the walls of Xia Yu's room silently cracked open.

The Mantis entered the room with fear and a hint of reluctance.

At the same time, thick vines appeared on the walls and floor.

To prevent Xia Yu from suddenly waking up.

Caught completely off guard, Xia Yu and Natasha quickly fell into a deep sleep under the hypnosis of the Mantis.

This includes Ayesha was sleeping in the outer room and locked to the bed by Xia Yu.

Having completed her mission, Mantis returned to report to Ego with a hint of unease.

"Master, all three have entered a deep sleep. Even if there is artillery fire outside, they will remain asleep for 24 hours."

Twenty-four hours?

Ego tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"That's enough. Tomorrow morning I'll take care of my dear son first; this is just an appetizer. As for his friend Xia Yu, that's the main course."

At this moment, Ego was no longer the kind father he once was; he exuded an aura of evil.

The Mantis was so frightened that she didn't dare to lift her head and slowly retreated from Ego's room, bending over.

"Useless! You're so nervous about such a small thing. If it weren't for the fact that you can help me sleep..."

Ego glanced disdainfully at the Mantis's figure.

He began to calculate how powerful Xia Yu would become if he were to devour him.

Over the years, virtually no one in the universe knew of Ego's existence.

It's definitely not because he's low-key enough.

That's because his strength isn't great enough yet.

Sooner or later he will devour all the planets in the universe.

It transformed itself into an enormous planet.

It makes all living beings tremble in fear as they live on its body, taking whatever they want.

This is his ultimate, perverse ideal.

The next morning, Ego first checked on Xia Yu and the others.

Sure enough, he was still fast asleep.

Drax was playing with the fish in the fountain outside, but it didn't matter; it posed no threat to Ego.

In return, he received a small spaceship for helping the Ravagers ambush Yondu's Nebula.

They fled to Ego's Planet and hunted down Gamora, who was wandering around outside.

Ego let them be for the time being.

He first checked on Star-Lord's physical condition.

They also thoroughly examined Star-Lord -Star-Lord's mental state by teaching him how to use his bloodline energy.

Thanks to the energy activated within Star-Lord.

He synchronized Star-Lord's soul and body.

Make Star-Lord's ideas highly consistent with your own and ensure his absolute obedience.

After gaining complete control of Star-Lord, he activated the bloodline devouring talent that Star-Lord possessed, which originated from his own bloodline.

Once Star-Lord has completely devoured Earth, he will devour Star-Lord.

For countless years, he has used this method to devour countless planets and civilizations.

The bones of his descendants, buried deep underground and devoured by him, could be piled up into a mountain.

At this moment, Gamora and Nebula, who had made a preliminary reconciliation after their fight, stood in front of the mountain made of bones.

"No!!"

Gamora realized something was wrong and ran back immediately; she had to rescue Star-Lord.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Star-Lord has been completely synchronized with Ego.

The little flower on Earth began to glow and expand, transforming into countless tentacles that spread in all directions.

On Star-Lord's side, Ego, while activating his talent, smugly revealed his plan.

There's also the fact that a tumor was placed in Star-Lord's mother's head.

"I deeply love your mother, my child. She is the only woman I have ever truly loved in my life. Do you know how heartbroken I was back then? But for our great ideals, necessary sacrifices were inevitable. I will always remember you both."

Ego was now full of confidence, his entire focus on taking control of the situation before him.

However, as he revealed the cause of Star-Lord's mother's death...

Star-Lord's soul began to fluctuate wildly in rebellion.

Caught off guard, Ego nearly lost control of Star-Lord.

"I didn't expect you to be so much bigger and stronger than I imagined, haha, it seems this harvest will far exceed my expectations."

Ego increased his strength again.

They wanted to completely control Star-Lord in one fell swoop.

But suddenly, Star-Lord's connection to the Earth's seeds completely disappeared.

"Um?"

Ego gasped in surprise.

How is that possible?

That seed was expanding rapidly, ready to engulf the Earth, just a moment ago.

The next second, all contact was lost, and Ego couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried.
