A Million-Year-Old Shut-In

Yondu knows Star-Lord very well. As soon as he saw Star-Lord's condition, he knew that he couldn't take him away.

He quietly joined the battle with his Yaka Arrow, primarily to protect Star-Lord.

He came with the Rockets and knew very well where the main battleground was.

Xia Yu took on most of the firepower. As long as they could get through this period, they could wait for the Rockets to inject Ego's brain with a drug.

And that was the end of it.

Nebula and Gamora also joined the battle.

With such a commotion, Mantis also revealed everything to Drax.

The crowd gradually gathered together.

"You guys keep some distance from me; his main target is me now."

Xia Yu shouted at the crowd.

Let them take Star-Lord away from the battlefield; it wouldn't be appropriate to cause any more casualties now.

The main reason is because Yondu is there; in the movie, Yondu died here for Star-Lord.

Xia Yu was afraid of the inertia of the plot; if he could, he still wanted to save Yondu's life.

But Star-Lord, because of his mother's death, stubbornly held his gun and fought desperately against the tentacles flying everywhere.

"Quill, you bastard! Your mother is dead, do you want your friends to die with her?"

Xia Yu attacked repeatedly with both hands, sweeping away most of the surrounding tentacles.

He went straight to Star-Lord 'Star-Lord side and, without saying a word, slapped him hard across the face.

"Look around you. I'm confident I can take out Ego, but it's too dangerous for you here. Do you want them all to sacrifice themselves for your hatred? Yondu destroyed his own team for you."

I don't know if it was because of the slap or Xia Yu's words.

Star-Lord's eyes gradually cleared as he looked at Gamora, Nebula Drax, and Yondu, who was looking at Yondu with concern.

He put the gun down.

"Take him away. Natasha is waiting for you on the spaceship."

Xia Yu shouted loudly, and many more tentacles appeared around him again. He didn't have time to talk to them anymore.

Ego didn't care at all about Star-Lord and the others leaving.

Since the plan to use Star-Lord to devour Earth has failed, Star-Lord is no longer of much use to him.

It's mainly Xia Yu.

"By scattering these tentacles, you've only allowed the power to return to my core. I can quickly gather even more. Let's see how much energy you still have."

Ego conjured his upper body again and mocked Xia Yu.

As he spoke, more tentacles burst from the ground and began to attack Xia Yu.

"I'm reminded of Illaoi, a Hero from League of Legends. She also attacks with tentacles, and her weapon is a skull. You know, she and you are actually a very good match."

Xia Yu still had the leisure to make jokes, but Ego stopped talking and intensified his attacks.

"Xia, I'm already on the spaceship, but Ayesha is missing. Are you alright over there?"

Natasha boarded the spaceship and only began communicating with Xia Yu after they had exited the atmosphere.

I'm fine!

With Natasha safe, Xia Yu was completely relieved. As for Ayesha, Xia Yu wasn't particularly concerned about her.

"It's alright, as long as you're safe. It's okay that Ayesha ran away. Contact Star-Lord and the others to see if they need to be brought onto the ship, but your safety must come first, understand?"

Natasha stopped talking and ended the call immediately.

She had just seen enormous mouths and eyes appear on the entire planet; it was incredibly eerie.

"Are you planning to take advantage of my complete focus on fighting you, then have them all leave, and finally use that portal to escape, right?"

As the fight progressed, Ego suddenly slowed down his attack frequency and spoke to Xia Yu.

"It's no use telling you this. Peter is my child. Even if I fight you with all my might, I can sense every move he makes on this planet. I won't let your friend leave so easily."

A knowing smile spread across Ego's face.

He was confident that he could slowly wear Xia Yu down here.

He sensed that Star-Lord and the others hadn't left this place yet.

When Ego spoke, Xia Yu simply stopped talking as well.

Ego was speaking, but the attack hadn't completely stopped.

Several tentacles slammed down directly at Xia Yu.

This time, Xia Yu didn't move an inch.

"Bang! Bang!!"

Several tentacles simultaneously lashed out at Xia Yu.

The immense force caused the ground beneath their feet to tremble violently.

As the dust settled, Xia Yu stood unharmed, motionless.

"What do you think I went through all that trouble to fight you for?"

Xia Yu looked at Ego with amusement.

Ego sensed a hint of unease in Xia Yu's eyes.

After fighting for half a day, Xia Yu had been trying his best to dodge his attacks.

Although he was completely unharmed, he still looked a little disheveled.

But now it seems that everything just now was an illusion, and its tentacles couldn't harm him in the slightest.

He didn't even try his best in the fight.

"This is impossible!!"

Ego's own illusory clone began to condense energy.

The white spiritual energy roared fiercely towards Xia Yu.

"Boom!!"

After the explosion, Xia Yu remained standing there motionless, completely unharmed.

"Celestial? You overestimate yourself. You're just the brain of an ancient Celestial, without even bones. I only need to follow the holes your tentacles have created to reach your true form. Even if I don't make a move, a single small, high-density bomb will be enough to blast you to smithereens!"

Xia Yu stretched out his hand and made a flower-flowering gesture.

"That's impossible. If you have a way, why are you fighting me and acting all pathetic?"

As a reclusive man who has lived for millions of years, even if his clone went to another planet, he would still find a suitable woman to mate with and produce offspring.

Ego rarely has much contact with the outside world.

Although his plan was extremely evil, it continued to devour.

However, he really didn't know much about combat experience or human nature.

Xia Yu smiled at his somewhat childish question.

His smile was incredibly sinister; compared to the innocent-looking Ego, he seemed like the villain.

I just heard the sound of Rocket in my headphones; it has arrived at its base and is just waiting for Xia Yu's command.

They could then directly inject the drug into Ego's brain.

"Why? Of course, I have a better plan. You idiot, with such a big brain, how can your IQ be so low? You exposed all your weaknesses the moment you introduced yourself. What a cute fool! Rocket, attack!"
