God Sealing Array (First Update)
"No, they are approaching my core."
Peter, there's something wrong with your friends. Let's stop and deal with them before continuing!
Sensing that Gamora and the others, led by Hawking 'Shadow Clone, were about to reach his core, Ego's expression changed drastically.
The core brain is his most vulnerable part. Without protection, a high-energy bomb could destroy it, and he would perish as a result. Therefore, he cannot be careless.
"Let's do it!"
But just then, a voice rang out, and Hawking appeared next to Star-Lord.
Upon hearing this, Star-Lord immediately stopped channeling his Celestial Power Celestial Power and instead transformed it into a large hand, grabbing Ego's body and pulling him sharply.
"You actually killed my mother, die!"
Before he could react, Ego was torn in two by the large hand.
Avada Kedavra!
Hawking delivered the finishing blow, using the Oblivion property of the Killing Curse to end Ego's clone's regeneration, while simultaneously causing Ego's main body's consciousness to become unable to concentrate due to the damage from the Killing Curse.
"Walk!"
Meanwhile, the Shadow Clone also arrived at Ego's core brain without any hindrance.
Hawking and Star-Lord Apparition directly to each other.
"Mantis, it's your turn."
Upon seeing the original body and Star-Lord appear, the Shadow Clone turned to look at Mantis.
The Mantis said in a trembling voice:
"I'm really not sure I can do it."
In her heart, her father, Ego, was incredibly powerful.
At this moment, Drax stepped forward and encouraged them:
You may not believe in yourself, but I believe in you!
Encouraged by Drax, Mantis gritted her teeth, pressed her hands to the ground, and unleashed her power.
The Celestial Power that Ego had just unleashed around him instantly vanished.
"I was just saying, I didn't expect you to actually do it, you're quite strong for your small frame."
Drax burst into laughter when he saw that Mantis subdued Ego.
At this moment, Hawking's main body and Shadow Clone had arrived in front of Ego's core brain. Countless Sealing Ninjutsu and magic were imprinted one after another on the giant brain flower. He wanted to seal Ego's consciousness and prevent him from mobilizing the Celestial Power.
As if sensing the danger of the seal, Ego, who had been put to sleep by the Mantis, began to struggle desperately to break free.
"I feel like I can't hold on much longer!"
Because Ego's resistance was so fierce, the Mantis's hands were already trembling.
At this moment, Star-Lord's eyes turned white, and he forcefully channeled his powerful Celestial Power into the ground, beginning to interfere with Ego's Celestial Power in order to help Mantis better suppress Ego.
"It'll be ready soon!"
At this moment, countless Ninjutsu and magical seals, under the control of Hawking's main body and clone, began to slowly merge together, transforming into a new seal that completely enveloped Ego's brain.
This is precisely the strongest seal created by Hawking during this period, through the combined research of all his Shadow Clone into the seals of various worlds— the God Sealing Array!
Its main purpose is to seal the consciousness of powerful individuals, causing their consciousness to fall into eternal slumber.
"Just one last step."
Once the God Sealing Array was complete, Hawking placed the Kree War Hammer, inlaid with the Power Stone, above the formation. The Power Stone's boundless power was immediately sent into the formation.
The God Sealing Array extremely powerful, but to ensure its absolute success, a powerful divine artifact is needed to suppress it and provide sufficient energy.
And nothing is more suitable than the Power Stone.
The normal God Sealing Array is sufficient, but he will be using the Divine Tree to extract the Celestial Power of Ego in a moment.
This will inevitably trigger Ego's instinctive will to survive, so he needs to be even stronger.
With the Power Stone suppressing it, the effect of the God Sealing Array will be greatly enhanced. Not to mention Ego, even the Celestials might not be able to break through it.
"Finish!"
With the activation of the God Sealing Array, Ego's consciousness fell into a deep slumber.
"He seems to have stopped resisting."
Sensing that Ego's resistance had ceased, Mantis grip and plopped down on the ground.
Star-Lord couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, which had been from using too much Celestial Power, and asked Hawking with some confusion:
"Why not just destroy this place? That would save us all the trouble."
"Your Celestial Power comes from Ego, and once Ego is killed, your Celestial Power will disappear completely."
"Don't worry, I'll seal him away in a place no one can find, and his plan will never succeed."
Hawking smiled and released the WangWang ID, letting everyone enter the spaceship first. Then he activated the power of the Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan to the fullest extent, taking the entire Ego's Planet into the Ancestor Space.
The size of Ego's Planet is roughly equivalent to that of the moon, and its Ancestor Space could barely contain it.
Next, he will plant the Divine Tree, which is very important to him, as he is safest only within the Ancestor Space.
"It... disappeared!"
Inside the spaceship, everyone saw that such a huge Ego's Planet had been absorbed into Hawking's eye between his eyebrows, and they marveled once again at Hawking's extraordinary abilities.
Even Star-Lord, who had already mastered the Celestial Power, still felt that he was no match for Hawking.
"The matter is settled. I will now transfer your payment from the account."
After taking the entire Ego's Planet, Hawking Shunpo back into the spaceship and spoke to Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Star-Lord.
However, Star-Lord patted his chest and replied:
"I don't need my share. I've already gotten the biggest reward this time, and taking more would really tarnish my image as a future interstellar thief."
If it weren't for Hawking, he wouldn't know how long it would have taken him to learn about his origins, and he would have had no power to defeat Ego, save the Milky Way Galaxy, or avenge his mother.
Not to mention that he has now awakened the Celestial Power and become a true powerhouse in the universe.
Even if he were shameless, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to ask for that 100 million yuan reward at this point.
Especially with Gamora present, he naturally wanted to perform well.
"So what are your plans for the future?"
Hawking didn't force him to give it to him; he simply smiled and asked.
Star-Lord coughed:
"My dream has always been to be an intergalactic thief, and the kind of chivalrous thief. Since you're going to find Thanos, I'm willing to go and help you for free."
He didn't want to be separated from Gamora.
"Of course you're welcome."
Hawking nodded, then looked at Rocket Raccoon and Groot.
"Then I'll transfer 100 million to each of you."
"No, we don't need it either. Groot and I aren't the kind of people who are unreasonable. We weren't helpful at all this time. If you want to give it, then we can do it after we've dealt with Thanos together."
Rocket Raccoon jumped onto Groot's shoulder and said in a very proud tone.
While he couldn't be of much help, the main reason was that the time they spent together made him subconsciously reluctant to leave them.
However, he would never admit it verbally.
