"How could this be my power?"
Ego, who had been able to sleep peacefully because of Mantis, seemed to sense something and suddenly awoke from his slumber.
Millions of years ago, he had awakened in the universe. Later, as he gradually learned to use his divine power, he evolved into the present-day Ego's Planet.
As time passed, he became wiser and more powerful. He began searching for the meaning of his existence, using his immense abilities to create physical avatars that traveled the universe.
On every planet, he would plant a seed, then mate with an intelligent life-form from that planet and produce offspring.
He needed a child who could inherit his power so that the seeds on every planet could sprout, turning those planets into his avatars and allowing him to rule the entire universe.
Unfortunately, despite having so many children, not a single one had inherited his Celestial Power.
Yet today, he suddenly sensed a power of the same origin as his own approaching him. He was utterly overjoyed.
"It's in that spaceship!"
After awakening, he quickly located the source of that power. It was a spaceship heading toward him.
Could one of my children have survived without being found?
Creating a human avatar in his temple, Ego called for Mantis and swiftly flew toward where the spaceship was about to land.
Before long, he saw a group of people dressed in Ravagers uniforms emerge from the ship.
The man at their head clearly possessed Celestial Power from the same source as his own.
"Hello, may I ask if you know someone named Ego? I'm his child, Peter Quill, from Earth."
Star-Lord stepped out of the spaceship. Seeing the man and woman standing there, he recalled Hawking's words, concealed the hatred in his heart, and immediately stepped forward
