Ego's Planet

The raging storm gradually subsided.

In the midst of the storm, the lone Electric Lizard resembled a one-eyed giant, its entire body crackling with lightning.

But the Mother Storm, who was in Ben's arms, had vanished without a trace.

"The thunderstorm has subsided?"

Inside the warship halfway across the planet, Nebula already knew from the data provided by Azmuth that the gathered lightning energy was rapidly dissipating, and even the energy of the Mother Storm had disappeared.

"Is Wang alright?"

Caiera immediately inquired anxiously about Ben's safety.

However, it wasn't Azmuth who answered her, but Ben himself—as a bolt of lightning exploded before their eyes, Ben instantly appeared before them, having traversed half a planet's distance.

"I'm fine."

It still looks like Electric Lizard, but its energy level is quite different from before.

"I have absorbed the Mother Storm. Lift the alert, Nebula."

Ben said calmly.

At this moment, he was like a living Mjolnir. The energy of the Mother Storm brought a huge boost to the Electric Lizard, allowing him to evolve from his original life level into God of Thunder.

Another Alien Hero has received a huge boost in power. It has to be said, Ben has to thank Malekith for that.

If he hadn't infiltrated the Galactic Plumbers, he wouldn't have revealed Niflheim's information to Ben, the Mother Storm wouldn't have been released, and Swampfire and Electric Lizard wouldn't have their current strength.

However, that being said, Malekith's infiltration also served as a wake-up call for Ben.

Although the Galactic Plumbers's defenses were already very robust, there were still loopholes, especially in their lack of ability to distinguish between genuine and fake Plumbers.

This is something that needs more attention.

However, strengthening defenses is a matter for later; the more important thing now is to rebuild Sakaar.

"Azmuth, assess the damage."

Soon, a disaster report was presented to Ben.

"A total of ten cities were affected, numerous major buildings were destroyed, and all electronic equipment within the ten cities was rendered inoperable... There were virtually no casualties among the citizens of Sakaar," Azmuth replied.

Thanks to the limited number of Plumbers in the Galactic Plumbers, and the relatively small population of Sakaar (only five to six million in total), the population of the ten affected cities combined was only a few hundred thousand.

After Nebula issued the evacuation order, almost all personnel were evacuated in an orderly manner and brought to the Giant Battleship.

"It's good that there were no casualties; the city can be rebuilt."

The Ben nodded.

"Correction: there were casualties," Azmuth said. "The prisoners inside the Galactic Plumbers Totem Tower were not evacuated."

???

Ben paused for a moment.

Are there still prisoners Totem Tower?

Then he quickly remembered who the prisoner was— Tony Stark.

He covered his face.

This is terrible, is Tony Stark going to die?

If Tony really died on Sakaar, then things would be in serious trouble.

It's not that anyone would cause trouble or protest against Galactic Plumbers because of this, but Ben felt a little guilty.

After all, Tony was a character who brought him classic movies, Ben still had a bit of a soft spot for Tony.

"I've forgotten about the others..."

Nebula turned her head away, a little embarrassed. The situation was so urgent; she had dispatched all the Plumbers to evacuate the crowd. She had no time to worry about the prisoners.

Tony wasn't the only one imprisoned beneath the Galactic Plumbers; other prisoners were also held captive there.

This includes Supergiant, Ronan and his Accusers crew, as well as some criminals the Galactic Plumbers have arrested in space during this period.

There were quite a few, but most of them were different from Tony, who had a certain degree of autonomy. These criminals had no freedom when they weren't in the Gladiator Arena and could only be imprisoned in a small space.

Ben didn't care about these people.

So what if they're dead? At least they'll save the Galactic Plumbers some food.

He rushed back to the Totem Tower, only to find it reduced to ruins.

Fortunately, Tony was unharmed. Ben released a weak electric current and used bioelectricity to sense life responses in the rubble, quickly rescuing Tony.

What's going on?

"Were you wiped out by the atomic bomb?"

Tony breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that someone had come to his rescue.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, diving into his armor the instant he felt the explosion. Although it was an exoskeleton, the armor had an energy shield that protected him from the collapsing buildings and blocked the lightning.

Moreover, strictly speaking, he wasn't buried alive by the Mother Storm, but rather by the battle between Ben and Malekith...

After being rescued, Mr. Stark expressed his hope that criminals like himself would receive humanitarian protection in the future...

There's a high chance there won't be a next time.

Ben planned to involve Tony in the upcoming war as a way of making amends for Ultron's actions.

Of course, he joined the Earth Front.

Is Gamora alright?

Aside from Tony, Ben probably only cares about Gamora and Hela. One is his lucky sister, and the other is Odin wants him to discipline. As for Hoder, he's just so-so; he's the kind of person who's fine with either living or dying.

Moreover, Wanda took them with her when they left.

"Gamora is not imprisoned with them."

"Nebula said."

Gamora isn't a criminal, but because her Soul Stone contains traces of Thanos, she has to be imprisoned to prevent any accidents. Besides, Nebula could forget Gamora, no matter who she forgets.

After Ben to confirm that everyone was alright, Ban Te didn't pay much attention anymore.

Finally, Caiera reported the specific casualties to him; more than half of the prisoners had died, including Ronan.

However, he was not killed by the collapsing building. Given Ronan's physical condition, the collapse of the Galactic Plumbers could not have harmed him at all; on the contrary, it helped him escape from prison.

Unfortunately, someone stopped him.

--A Supergiant.

This woman, who should have been a prisoner, not only did not escape after the building collapsed, but instead used her psychic energy to control all the prisoners who wanted to escape. Ronan resisted the most fiercely, so she killed Ronan.

The Supergiant's strange behavior puzzled Ben.

However, this is a good thing.

Supergiant's abilities are quite good; he's considered the most mysterious of the Black Order. If he could join the Galactic Plumbers, he could immediately become Security Officer- level fighter.

If she's willing to let go of the past, Ben wouldn't mind giving her a chance to be free.

"What I want is not freedom."

The Supergiant finally met Ben after so long since his arrest.

Like Nebula, she has blue skin. There are quite a few blue-skinned races in the universe, but the Supergiant blue is just right, giving people a mysterious and powerful feeling.

"What I want is death."

She told Ben her request.

From beginning to end, death is what Supergiant seek.

"My father once promised me that if I helped him complete his grand plan, he would grant me death. He was about to succeed, but unfortunately, he met you, and in the end, he failed at the last moment."

"He died, but I survived."

"If there's anything I want, it's that you kill me."

"If you miss, you can just commit suicide."

Wanda rolled her eyes.

Being captured by the Galactic Plumbers is a pipe dream; trying to escape is utterly futile. But if you want to die, does anyone really want to stop you?

Even if you don't commit suicide, as long as you don't resist during a duel, your enemy can chop you into mincemeat in no time.

"That's not the same thing, Witch." Supergiant shook his head.

Perhaps to Wanda, death is simply death, but for Supergiant, it's not so simple.

Ben could understand; different races have different beliefs and lifestyles. Just like some people on Earth believe that those who commit suicide cannot go to Heaven, to the point that they might kill someone before they commit suicide...

Perhaps for Supergiant, dying by their own hand, or dying without resistance, is not an option.

He had no interest in investigating further.

Since the Supergiant wants to die, he can grant her wish.

After using the newly acquired power of lightning to kill the Supergiant, Ben returned to the warship and began discussing the reconstruction of the city with Caiera.

"Actually, I've long felt that the original city plan was a bit off... Sakaar's original cyberpunk style was too overpowering. At first glance, it looked very advanced, but upon closer inspection, it was quite outdated. This time, everything has been changed."

Urban planning is not difficult.

Previously, Ben had to find someone knowledgeable to plan things out, but now he can just hand it over to Azmuth.

The artificial intelligence Azmuth will make an overall plan for Sakaar based on the knowledge it has collected. Its data comes not only from Earth, but from all the planets that have joined the Galactic Plumbers Alliance.

A crystallization of knowledge from hundreds of civilizations!

What to do about the damaged natural environment?

Brunnhilde asked the question while looking at Ben with eagerness, clearly wanting Ben to stay and plant trees on Sakaar.

"Wait for Eunice to come back."

Ben passed the trouble to Eunice, but it wasn't really a trouble at all.

Eunice possesses the Reality Stone, and with its Reality Stone, she can restore destroyed natural ecosystems. In fact, what Eunice is doing right now is transforming the planet.

"In addition, we may need to assemble a small team to rescue Thor."

Ben said.

He recounted his speculations, and given that Thor had indeed gone missing, it was almost certain that the four men who went to Heaven to rescue Odin's other daughter had all perished.

"Bring Loki back; he's clearly been exposed. The task of rescuing Thor will be entrusted to Brunnhilde and Loki."

"I see."

Caiera immediately issued a notification: "Any other orders?"

"Have Bill take the dwarves back first. Korg will temporarily take command of the Giant Battleship and head to the Nine Realms to support the various countries. I estimate it's almost time for the final offensive. It would be best if the dwarves could forge a batch of artifacts for us... Oh, and contact Looma to have her return as soon as possible."

Caiera nodded immediately and relayed Ben's order.

Soon, Loki and Bill, who were in different countries, received the news.

"A final offensive?"

Bill frowned slightly, feeling a little worried about the upcoming battle, but he quickly made up his mind. No matter what, he only needed to follow the orders of the Security Officer to fight.

"Eitri, bring your people back with me. Korg, the Giant Battleship is now under your command. Remember, prioritize rescue operations, avoid getting bogged down in battle."

Bill quickly arranged things efficiently here, and then led the tall dwarves back in a smaller spaceship.

Meanwhile, Loki, who was attacking Vanaheim, also received orders.

Because he had already conspired with Frigga, the battle for Vanaheim was extremely "difficult," and the Dark Elf lost a significant amount of their forces but still failed to capture it.

Now that he knew he had been exposed, Loki immediately stopped pretending and joined forces with the Vanir warriors to annihilate his entire Dark Elf.

"That idiot Thor got tricked again..." Loki, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

My Mind's Eye older brother has been deceived since he was a child, and his brain is like mush.

"Go back quickly, Thor needs your help." Frigga stroked Loki's head. "But I never expected Saga to still be alive, and imprisoned in Heaven... I'll join you on this rescue mission!"

Frigga said firmly.

She was also clad in golden armor, her noble golden hair pulled up high, making her look like a warrior even more valiant than Valkyries Valkyrie.

"Of course... but I hope that after we rescue them, you and Father will tell us honestly how many children you have."

Loki said helplessly.

Galactic Plumbers)

"Bill and Loki are already on their way back, but..."

A hint of worry appeared on Caiera's face.

"What's wrong?"

Ben looked at her strangely.

"Something went wrong with Princess Looma."

What happened?

"It's like this, you should remember what I mentioned before, those Ravagers searching for Peter Quill, right?" Caiera said. "Actually, those people are working for a man named Ego. According to our intelligence network, they've learned that the Ravagers ' Yondu, has been searching for Ego's lost children for a long time, and then killing them..."

"Peter Quill was unaware that Ego wanted to kill him, so he went to Ego's Planet, and Parker found out about this..."

"I can't help it, "Caiera said helplessly.

Ben immediately understood what was going on.

Clearly, the kind-hearted Parker Family, especially Uncle Ben and Aunt May, would never allow an innocent child to die like that.

"So Uncle Ben has decided to go to Ego's Planet to rescue Peter Quill, is that right?"

Caiera nodded.

Princess Looma went along to protect them.

"However, given Princess Looma's strength, she should be safe, though she might not be able to return in time," Caiera said helplessly.

But Ben shook his head seriously.

"No, Looma is no match for Ego. I'd better go check it out."
