Hero Appears

"There was definitely a problem!"

At dawn, just after the sun had risen, the praying mantis, who had been agonizing all night, finally told Uncle Ben and the others the truth.

However, her understanding wasn't comprehensive, because Ego planned to do the same thing as the previous children: kill Star-Lord and use him as nourishment for himself.

But in reality, Ego at this moment would prefer that Star-Lord accept his grand ideals and work together to annihilate all life in the universe and assimilate all planets into their own!

Being alone is too lonely.

He needs a kindred spirit who can accompany him for hundreds of millions of years.

As for the Mantis, Ego considered her nothing more than a flea that could be of some use. If she weren't somewhat valuable, able to put him to sleep briefly, Ego would have killed her long ago.

"I can't believe there's a father like this in the world..." Aunt May frowned and said seriously, "We can't just watch that child die."

"You're right, Mei."

Uncle Ben nodded seriously and said, "May, go wake up Looma, and I'll wake up Rocket and Groot. We can't contact Benny right now, so we're probably in for a very tough fight."

The two split up, and Mei quickly entered Looma's room.

Despite her fierce-looking muscular physique, Looma's sleeping posture was surprisingly serene. Her four arms were quietly clasped together and rested flat on her stomach. At this moment, she looked more like Princess than ever before.

"Looma, wake up."

Aunt May gently took her hand. Looma, still sleepy, her four red eyes half-closed, mumbled, "Benny..."

This child is hopeless; he's still reciting his Benny name in his dreams.

Aunt May shook her head helplessly, but she was actually quite satisfied with Looma.

Not only Looma, but Felicia is also a good girl, and Mary Jane is her neighbor's niece. They know each other very well. Although Benny sometimes says that there is Mary Jane in a parallel universe who is vain, Aunt May thinks that has nothing to do with the Mary Jane she knows.

"It's me."

"Aunt May?" Looma snapped out of her daze, an excited expression spreading across her face.

She wasn't some kind of idiot who only grew muscles and not brains. Aunt May coming to secretly wake her up at this time was clearly to deal with that guy named Ego.

To be honest, Looma had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

She lost to Ego before because Igor used his immense energy to crush her without any reason, leaving her with very few opportunities to fight back.

Now that she's on top of him, all she has to do is smash the ground beneath her feet; she won't be completely helpless.

"I've been wanting to cause a huge scene for ages!"

Looma's four fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Meanwhile, Rocket and Groot were also woken up.

After hearing Uncle Ben's explanation, the little raccoon's eyes widened in anger, and he said, "Looks like we'll have to rescue this little orphan Peter! Come on, Groot, stick your twig into his dad's dermatitis! Haha!"

"I am Groot!"

"Don't swear!" Uncle Ben smacked each of them on the head.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them picked up their equipment and headed outside.

at the same time.

In the palace built by Ego, the awakened Ego led Star-Lord to the center of the hall and showed him the "great achievements" he had made over the years.

He used Star-Lord's favorite old songs as metaphors.

"I'm like a sailor. Although I like this girl, our ultimate destination is the sea. For that great ideal, everything else can be left behind."

But Star-Lord ignored all that; he simply frowned and asked:

"So, that includes my mother too?"

"Your mother, I must say, she was the only woman I ever loved," Ego said with a look of reminiscence. "I went back to Earth to see her twice. The reason I only went twice is because I knew that if there were a third time, I would abandon my destiny, all my ideals, and stay on that planet to be with her forever."

"..."

Star-Lord didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he was somewhat moved.

He has almost no memory of his father, but even after drifting in space for so many years, he can't forget his mother, the woman who was dying on her sickbed.

Therefore, when he realized that Ego also truly loved his mother, Star-Lord's long-standing resentment towards him for his absence slowly began to fade.

Unfortunately, Ego, being Celestial, ultimately couldn't understand mortal emotions. Seeing that Star-Lord was somewhat moved, he let slip:

"So I let her get cancer..."

"What?"

Star-Lord's eyes snapped back to reality.

"Yes, I caused your mother's brain tumor," Ego said without any hesitation.

He didn't accidentally let it slip; rather, he saw it as a manifestation of his love for Star-Lord's mother.

For a mortal to have to make such a difficult choice as Celestial is already an immense honor!

You fucking dared to kill my mother!

Boom!

Star-Lord, as if possessed, grabbed the Element Gun and instantly blasted Ego's body to smithereens!

Half of the opponent's body had been riddled with bullets by Star-Lord, but his energy-based body was still struggling to stay afloat, and Ego even showed a surprised expression on his face.

"What are you doing?"

He couldn't understand why his son, who had been talking to him so nicely, would suddenly change his attitude so abruptly.

But Star-Lord didn't want to say anything more to this scumbag. He kept firing, and the powerful Element Bullets instantly tore Ego's body to pieces.

However, the next second, Ego's body expanded, the earth tore apart, and massive energy surged out as ley lines, directly blasting Star-Lord away.

"You ungrateful wretch! I was hoping to explore a whole new universe with you, father and son, but now, you'd better just be Batteries providing me with energy for a thousand years!"

With a wave of his arm, Ego unleashed a torrent of energy toward Star-Lord Star-Lord, binding him like tentacles and mercilessly draining his energy.

"Don't even think about it!"

Boom!

Just then, a laser beam struck, severing the energy tentacles that were trapping Star-Lord.

Uncle Ben took the lead. Although he was a middle-aged or elderly Plumbers, his skills were exceptional. Combined with the equipment from the Galactic Plumbers, he made a name for himself even in space.

Rocket followed closely behind, firing a few shots to help Star-Lord out of the predicament, then said with a sly grin, "Peter, how about that? You can't do without me! But I never expected your dad to be even more of a bastard than you!"

I agree with you this time.

For once, Star-Lord didn't argue with him. Groot flicked his arm, and his long vines retrieved the Element Gun that Star-Lord had dropped, tossing it back into his hand.

"Thank you, Groot."

"You vermin, how dare you—Boom!!!"

Before Ego could finish his harsh words, a crimson figure fell like Xing Yi, smashing his body to pieces with a single blow.

"Wow, it's bursting with juice!" Rocket was stunned. He said to Groot, "Groot, remind me not to try to steal anything from her. And you, Star-Lord, put away your brain full of white essence and don't mess with her. It'll be too much trouble to clean up your mess if you turn into mincemeat."

"Do you need to tell me!"

Star-Lord rolled his eyes.

Even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare mess with this four-armed girl.

Otherwise, Galactic Plumbers would have a million ways to die that suit him.

Looma seized the opportunity and began to beat Ego mercilessly, smashing him to death in an instant.

Uncle Ben was stunned for a moment, "That's it?"

"No, that's just Ego in disguise. He'll be back soon. We'd better get off this planet immediately!" the Mantis said in fear.

Of everyone present, she knew Ego's power better than anyone else.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.

Ego is far more than just a planet. Over countless years, he has devoured countless inhabited planets, and the inexhaustible power gathered within his body has brought him to a terrifying level.

"We need to get out of here quickly! Your spaceship..."

"You're not going anywhere!"

Before the Mantis could finish speaking, the energy drawn from the planet coalesced in the sky into a gigantic face. It changed shape constantly, sometimes appearing old, sometimes young, and sometimes taking the form of other races that Ego had incarnated over the long years.

But no matter how he transforms, he always unleashes destructive power.

The magnificent palace began to collapse with a deafening roar, and the rare plants in the gardens withered away. All the dreamlike scenes shattered like illusory bubbles, revealing the planet's most primitive form—desolate and ruined... just like Ego's cold and ruthless heart.

"This is a complete scam!"

Star-Lord finally realized that this barren, ugly planet was his father's true form, and all the beautiful sights were merely illusions created by his father using Celestial power.

But Ego doesn't think so.

He roared angrily, "That could have been real! You ruined everything! My foolish child, I shouldn't have had any illusions about you! The inferior human genes in your body make you so despicable!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his energy, attacking everyone in his path.

"Watch out!" Uncle Ben warned, quickly grabbing his gun and firing at Ego's energy tentacles.

Fortunately, the weapons of the Galactic Plumbers were advanced enough, otherwise these energies would have been of little use.

He did several somersaults on the ground, creating the impression of a hail of bullets all by himself. Aunt May was also quite skilled, but Groot was a hindrance. He was currently a pure physics-based fighter, which put him at a significant disadvantage against energy beings.

"I told you, you can't escape!"

Ego's voice grew louder and louder. In an instant, it was as if the entire planet was torn apart. The light energy rose from the torn earth like the heads of giant dragons, roaring to the sky!

The group was instantly stunned by what they saw.

Looking out into the endless wilderness, blue and white vines burst forth like mountains, as if the life force of an entire planet had burst forth in an instant. If viewed from space, the scene would be even more spectacular—it would be as if a dead planet had suddenly come to life with boundless vitality, releasing dazzling light into the entire universe.

Faced with such immense energy, Uncle Ben and his companions were as insignificant as ants.

"Oh..." Rocket froze, his gun drooping, his ears twitching downwards, and he backed away from Star-Lord. "It's up to you, Fatty! Use your energy to take it down!"

Star-Lord:???

"Putting aside the fact that you called me fat, do you really think I can handle this thing?" He grabbed Rocket's collar and asked irritably.

"Why not? He's your father. You have the same strength as him. I saw you playing ball with him yesterday," Rocket retorted.

"The energy ball I made is only about the size of a baseball..."

"Can we stop arguing?"

Uncle Ben was at his wit's end, waving his hand to direct everyone to run.

However, Ego was faster. The energy plunged into the earth like a dragon, and the hard crust seemed as fragile as water at this moment, instantly torn apart by the energy, leaving a shark-like trail on the earth.

Boom!!!

In the blink of an eye, the energy was right in front of them.

Looma, Luma grabbed Aunt May and Mantis with her arms around her waist, and then grabbed Star-Lord's arms with her shoulders, slamming Star-Lord and Rocket directly towards the spaceship.

Groot quickly reached out and grabbed Star-Lord's right foot, but was also thrown off.

Then, with two clasped around her waist, Looma lifted Uncle Ben horizontally with both arms, bent her knees, and leaped several kilometers away.

Thump!!!

Each time it landed, it felt like a meteorite crashing onto a planet.

Even so, their progress was still too slow.

Or rather, it wasn't that they were too slow, but that Ego was everywhere.

The surging energy erupted directly into the ground in front of them, blasting Star-Lord's old Falcon-shaped Spaceship in half, leaving only its rear engine rolling to the side...

Immediately afterwards, the energy pressed down like a mountain, instantly scattering everyone!

"Ah!"

Enveloped in Ego's energy, as if gripped by a giant hand, their bodies were squeezed and torn by the ever-compressing energy, causing them immense pain.

At this moment, the Vibranium Battle Suit and Looma's muscle density seemed like a joke, utterly useless.

Star-Lord, on the other hand, suffered a tragic fate.

This person claiming to be his father is now ruthlessly trying to drain his abilities!

His eyes turned blue-white, his pupils disappeared, replaced by an energy identical to Ego's; his skin also mutated as if he had been electrocuted...

"You asked for it, Peter!"

Ego's tone was fierce. From beginning to end, he hadn't said a word to anyone other than Star-Lord, and he didn't care even if Mantis betrayed him.

In his eyes, everyone else was nothing but ants.

Only Star-Lord is the one who has the right to speak with him.

But his fate was the same as his other children's—death!

This time, no one can save you!

Ego waved his hand indifferently, and his energy suddenly surged dramatically. In an instant, the surging energy engulfed the sky, followed by a terrifying explosion!

Boom!!!

"Who said there aren't any?"

Green flames spread, and from within the flames, Ben slowly emerged, a smirk playing on his lips, and pressed a button on his watch.
