Women Love Bad Boys (Second Update)

"The taste is surprisingly good."

Hawking picked out a few fruits to try. The taste was peculiar but also delicious, surpassing the taste of most fruits on Earth.

When everyone was halfway through their meal, Star-Lord returned.

"It seems we succeeded!"

Sensing the Celestial Power awakening within Star-Lord, Hawking smiled.

Star-Lord raised his hand, and an energy sphere formed from the Celestial Power appeared before his eyes.

"I did as you said, and pretended to agree with his plan. He was very happy to draw out the power within me."

Then I told him that once I had mastered this power, I would work with him to activate the seed to assimilate the planet.

Just now at the Lookout, he confirmed with Ego that the tumor in his mother's body was indeed caused by Ego.

Therefore, he now has complete trust in Hawking.

"Very good. Over the next few days, you should learn from him how to control the Celestial Power. Once you are proficient, we will continue our operation."

Hawking nodded.

Ego's Planet's energy is extremely vast. Although he has absolute confidence in his strength, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

What he wanted wasn't to destroy Ego's Planet, that would be simple: find Ego's brain, Great Ape Transformation, open the Eight Gates Formation, and unleash a barrage of verbal attacks.

Even if Ego reacts in time, he probably won't be able to stop it.

But what he wants is complete control over Ego, to make him obediently be absorbed by the Divine Tree, which is not so easy.

With the Celestial Power shared by Star-Lord and the assistance of Mantis, there is a 100% guarantee that no problems will occur.

"Have something to eat."

At this moment, Gamora, contrary to her usual behavior, took the initiative to hand Star-Lord a fruit that looked a bit like a watermelon.

Because of her keen observation, she noticed that although Star-Lord had gained the Celestial Power, he didn't seem to be in a good mood and was forcibly restraining himself.

To be honest, she initially disliked Star-Lord, that promiscuous thief.

Later, after learning about Star-Lord's background, it was discovered that Star-Lord, who always appeared optimistic and cheerful, actually had another side.

Moreover, even a good woman can be won over by a persistent suitor. Star-Lord kept pestering her every day and even took her to listen to beautiful Earth music, which did indeed bring something back to her heart that had been dormant for many years.

"Thanks!"

Star-Lord took the fruit Gamora offered, but instead of taking the opportunity to talk to Gamora as usual, he simply sat down and ate it quietly.

Actually, he still held a tiny bit of hope for Ego, however slim it may be.

When he was a child, his mother talked most about how good his father was. On her deathbed, she said that he was like his father, an Angel, and that his mother firmly believed that his father would come back.

However, it wasn't until he heard Ego confess to killing his mother that his last shred of hope for his father was completely extinguished.

If it weren't for the safety of the Milky Way Galaxy and Hawking's repeated instructions, he almost lost his mind and tried to pull out the Element Gun to destroy Ego's clone on the spot.

"It seems that even though my presence has changed some things, this couple will not be separated."

Hawking saw the worry in Gamora's eyes and knew that Gamora and Star-Lord would probably end up together, just like in the Movie Universe.

Star-Lord is a kind-hearted yet humorous bad boy. In fact, his personality is very popular with girls, which is why he is able to successfully seduce so many women of different races and social classes.

Women love bad boys; that's true most of the time.

In the end, the Gamora from another Movie Universe didn't end up with Star-Lord because that Gamora knew that Star-Lord didn't love her, but rather another Gamora.

Even the same person will be different in different universes.

Hawking also asked himself, if he were to travel to other universes and encounter Wanda in those universes, would he compare Wanda in those universes to Wanda in his own?

That's impossible, of course.

He likes the Wanda of this universe, the Wanda who grew up with him and with whom he has many experiences and feelings.

The Wanda in other universes are just people with the same appearance and name, just like Wolverine Logan and the cloned X-23. Even if they have the same genes, they are not the same person.

At most, because they share the same appearance and name, he might show them a little more care based on his feelings for this universe, Wanda.

Three days later, Hawking, who was undergoing gravity training inside the spaceship, received a reminder from Wang Wang.

"Master, Peter Quill has sent a message saying that the seed is about to sprout."

"It seems Ego can't wait any longer."

Hawking got up, wiped the sweat off his body, changed his clothes, and went to the spaceship's main hall.

"Let's begin."

The message from Star-Lord indicates that Ego is impatient for Star-Lord to fully master the Celestial Power and intends to join forces with Star-Lord now to activate the power, allowing the seeds buried on various planets to sprout and begin assimilation.

Hawking had already prepared a solution to this problem.

He formed a hand Hand Seals, and a Shadow Clone appeared out of thin air, then disappeared with Gamora and the others.

After storing the spaceship in the Ancestor Space, his true form directly Apparition to the outside of the Lookout, concealed all energy, and quietly went inside.

"Father, must we act now?"

In the main hall of the Lookout, Star-Lord looked troubled.

"However, I haven't been able to fully control the Celestial Power within me yet. I'm afraid I might make a mistake and cause problems with such a grand plan."

"Peter, don't worry, Dad will take care of the main control. You just need to keep injecting Celestial Power into my body. I believe you can do it."

Ego placed his hands on Star-Lord's shoulders and said in a firm tone.

For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy these past few days, which made him unable to wait any longer.

He wanted to complete his plan immediately, assimilate all the planets, and allow himself to truly rule the universe.

"Okay, I will definitely do my best to complete this with my father."

Knowing that there was no time to waste, Star-Lord went up behind Ego and poured all his Celestial Power into Ego's clone.

"Yes, that's it, that's it!"

Feeling the continuous flow of Celestial Power entering his body, Ego was overjoyed. He encouraged the Celestial Power of the entire planet to merge with it, and then began to control the seeds he had buried on various intelligent planets, causing them to expand and grow rapidly.

Unfortunately, at that moment, Ego suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Peter, what's going on with your friends? Why are they breaking through the ground and getting closer to my core?"

Because all his energy is currently focused on controlling seed assimilation, he is temporarily unable to spare any energy to stop it.

Star-Lord calmly explained:

"Father, they are probably curious about what the underground is like and want to go down and see."

We'll drag this out for as long as we can.
