Odin and Ancient One: Work's Here!!

"Ego is laughing."

Deep within the earth, the Mantis's face was deathly pale.

He's very excited... because his long-cherished wish is about to come true.

Everyone's expression turned grim after hearing this. They all knew that Ego's current plan was to absorb Ben's energy, and given his current agitated state, Ben's situation was clearly not optimistic.

"I have to go help the Benny!"

Aunt May immediately panicked, her pale face filled with worry, and her limbs trembling with cold.

No matter the circumstances, her biggest concern was the safety of her children. No matter how strong Ben, in her eyes he would always be the one who needed to be protected.

But Uncle Ben grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Calm down, Mei. Remember one of the rules for Plumbers? In critical moments, we need to make choices!"

He looked into her eyes and spoke seriously and calmly, but from his trembling lips, it was easy to see that he was also struggling at this moment, and making this decision was undoubtedly difficult for him.

But this angered Aunt May.

The woman, who was actually a mother, angrily shook off Ben's arm, looked at her husband with anger for the first time, and roared, "Do you mean I should just stand by and watch my nephew be in danger?!"

"What I mean is, we should trust Benny!"

Ben's voice was calm yet powerful.

He grasped Aunt May's hand and said in a low voice, "Benny isn't so easily defeated, and even if we go, we'll only cause him trouble and distract him. May, what we need to do now is blow up Ego's core. Only in this way can we help Benny."

I agree!

Looma threw a quick punch, shattering an energy tentacle.

The Tetramand aren't the type to dawdle. Ben Parker is a man and warrior she acknowledges as stronger than herself. In battle, she should fully trust him and focus on doing her job well.

That way, even if she loses in the end, she won't have anything to say.

However, not everyone was as heartless as her. Star-Lord considered for a moment and said, "I'll go help him. Although my power is weak, I might be able to influence Ego."

Honestly, blowing up Ego's heart didn't actually require so many of them working together. Now that they know the situation with Ben isn't good, even if Star-Lord is a bastard, he can't just dump everything on someone else.

Ultimately, he is Ego's son.

"I don't trust you, kid."

Yondu, of course, was naturally not going to let Star-Lord go alone at this crucial moment.

This kid's unreliable; if no one's watching him, he might become Ego's backup hidden energy source any second now...

So they split into two groups again. Star-Lord and Yondu charged back to the surface, while the rest continued to venture deeper into the Earth's core. However, they could clearly feel Ego's energy constantly increasing. From easily falling hundreds or thousands of meters at the beginning, they were now struggling to move forward. The energy hindering their progress was like a magical net of thorns, constantly wrapping around them.

Looma's four arms created afterimages in the air, and she transformed into a red whirlwind; Rocket emptied his magazine at lightning speed, leaping and bounding over Groot; Ben and Aunt May fired their Energy Gun until the barrels were red-hot... but the energy continued to approach, surrounding them.

"The core is not far away!"

The Mantis wasn't very aggressive; she could only cling to Looma's back and yell, pointing to a huge sphere several kilometers away—it looked like a small asteroid.

"That's Ego's core? It's so big?!" Rocket rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"I'd believe you if you said it was the moon!"

"No, this is the outer shell of the core," Mantis said, shaking her head. "Ego has protected his core very well; this shell is very hard. To destroy the core, you'd have to put the bomb deep inside."

"Great, how should I put it?"

Rocket asked irritably. He had already taken a look and knew that although the outer shell of the core was densely covered with many pores, the size of those pores was negligible. Even someone as short as an adult's knee as him couldn't possibly climb inside.

Such important information should have been shared much earlier!

"Smash its shell!"

Looma said matter-of-factly.

She gripped the ends of her weapons with all four hands, leaping into the air, her black and gold armor gleaming brightly.

Her body was stretched out exaggeratedly, like a fully drawn bow!

Immediately afterwards, the Energy of the Universe and the Old Power merged within her, and her four slender yet powerful arms suddenly swung down with crimson Flash!

"Heavy Hammer Spark!"

Boom!!!

This hammer blow was merely to clear a path.

The moment the crimson Flash struck, the immense energy that Ego had unleashed was instantly shattered!

Looma's power surged forward like a writhing dragon, devouring Oblivion everything in the blink of an eye!

"Don't forget, I am Looma, the Queen of the Red Wind Kingdom!"

Looma landed like a war goddess, her dashing figure captivating all who beheld her. Before her, all obstacles were utterly shattered by this single blow. The crimson dragon roamed the earth until it struck down Ego's core, creating a deep Abyss -like rift in it.

Ugh!!!

The planet itself seemed to emit a mournful cry.

However, it's difficult to say whether it was caused by Looma's attack or by external circumstances.

outside world.

When Star-Lord and Yondu finally broke free of the ground, they realized just how outrageous the battle between Ben and Ego had become.

The battle between them was no longer visible to the naked eye; in the distance, the scene resembled the initial explosion of the universe, with white light shining like ten million suns simultaneously.

At this moment, Ego's Planet was like a searchlight in the universe, instantly becoming the most dazzling star in the entire cosmos. If the light had more colors, it wouldn't be impossible to put it at the center of the universe for a planetary rave.

"I don't think we can be of any help," Yondu said, squinting.

Star-Lord's bloodline had been involuntarily awakened by the planet's immense energy. His eyes lost their whites and slowly assimilated with the surrounding energy. Under these circumstances, he was able to see the center of the energy storm through the endless light source.

"It's not that I can't help, it's that I don't need your help anymore," he said.

Although there's really nothing I can do to help.

At the center of that energy, the situation has been completely reversed.

Black tentacles extended from Ben's body, and the golden, openwork rings, like bottomless pits, began to drain Ego's energy!

The Electric Lizard has no limit to its absorption capacity, but its storage capacity has an upper limit.

However, the Gravattack, despite being powerless, made up for this deficiency. A massive amount of life force surged into Ben's body, directly revitalizing Ben's body, which should have been withering away.

His skin became moisturized, and there were even signs that green plants were beginning to appear.

"Plants are out of the question; I don't want to have my head covered in green."

Becoming stronger is fine, but turning green is completely unnecessary.

Ben resisted the urge to sprout and channeled a burst of energy into his core, though he was still somewhat surprised by the amount of energy Ego possessed.

The other party is like an inexhaustible source of energy; no matter how much is absorbed, the bottom is never reached.

"But that's understandable. It's never just a single planet, but the sum of all the energy from countless assimilated life-bearing planets. It's just a bit troublesome for me, though. Such a massive amount of energy can't be digested by the Gravattack alone."

Giving the Gravattack time might be possible, but that would require millions of years as a buffer.

"How pathetic, Ben Parker." Ego seemed to see the predicament Ben was now facing.

The energy is so vast that the absorption rate can't keep up, and it's also difficult to release it. If this continues, it won't be long before the other party is burst by the accumulated life energy!

"You've wasted your effort, Ben Parker. In the end, your power still belongs to me!"

"That's not necessarily true."

Ben looked up at him, his tone calm, clearly not worried at all.

Isn't it just that there's a lot of life energy?

Coincidentally, there was a place in his body that was lacking life energy!

"Open the passage to Legerdomain."

In the newly formed dimension of Legerdomain, although Ben has been vigorously developing the Energy of the Universe Believers and fostering Energy of the Universe Creatures and Legerdomain Inhabitants, and even joined forces with Odin to move Asgard to Legerdomain.

I'm currently reading the latest chapters!

However, compared to other dimensions, Legerdomain's foundation is indeed somewhat lacking.

The strength of the Energy of the Universe Lord Anodite is far inferior to that of the Dark Lord Dormammu, who transcends time.

Now, just when you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. Ego's life energy accumulated over millions of years has instantly benefited Ben, leaving even the Ancient One and Odin, who were training in Legerdomain, stunned.

What happened? How did my meditation retreat suddenly upgrade?

The two immediately took a look and discovered the energy tug-of-war between Ben and Ego.

This is outrageous!

The two hidden big shots exchanged a glance, and their three eyes immediately blazed with intense desire.

Someone's sending me energy?! What a stroke of luck!

They immediately arrived at the input of the Electric Lizard pipe, simultaneously unleashing their magic and divine power, and began to suck in the energy like a 100,000-horsepower water pump. In the blink of an eye, the energy gurgled and rushed into Legerdomain!

Odin & Ancient One: Thank you so much for the big Rocket!

Ego originally thought that no matter how much Ben absorbed, even if there was a place to release the energy, the efficiency wouldn't be high enough, and he definitely wouldn't be able to last long.

However, things changed drastically after these two bigwigs joined the company.

No matter how powerful Ego is, he can't absorb more than three people. Besides, the Ancient One and Odin are the kind of people who don't care about anything else, they'll just drain you dry first. As for whether they can be transformed, that's something to consider later. Anyway, they won't be lost if they're piled up in the Legerdomain Dimension.

Now it was Ego's turn to panic.

A large amount of energy was lost, making it difficult for him to continue to maintain that light energy, enough to ignite the universe, and the light dimmed.

In the blink of an eye, the planet began to decay.

The scenes created by Ego have long since disappeared, and even the earth itself has begun to dry up, tear apart, and weather away, turning into a lifeless and desolate landscape.

"Ah..."

Even his own illusion was struggling to continue; the enormous face became illusory, and the continent he had lifted with his energy sank with a deafening roar.

"Stop, stop right now..."

His voice became hoarse and weak, like sandpaper.

Ego kept begging for mercy, but Ben didn't care. This was an extremely dangerous individual, and now that they were enemies, how could he possibly let him go?

They drain you dry, then blow up your core – that's what you call being reduced to ashes!

Soon, Ego fell silent.

Ben also figured this pig probably wouldn't bleed much more, so he finally stopped, cut off the passage to Legerdomain, and said to Super-Kill, "Once we've dealt with Vilgax, we'll switch sides."

"No problem."

Super-Kill nodded, then retreated back into the watch's movement like the receding tide.

Meanwhile, Ben shrunk into a sphere, controlling gravity like a celestial body as he flew towards the Earth's core, taking Star-Lord and Yondu with him.

Ego's Planet is rapidly falling, becoming a dead star.

The place is filled with the aura of death; the empty caves are now precarious, and the once solid rocks are extremely fragile, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch.

Within the Earth's crust, planetary activity seems to have ceased, but as the saying goes, even a centipede doesn't die easily; to completely extinguish it, one last, fierce blow is needed.

Thump!

The planet crashed to Earth.

"Benny?!"

When everyone saw Ben return, they all showed expressions of surprise and joy. Aunt May and Looma even rushed over and clung to him.

"Are you alright, Benny? Your skin looks worse!" Aunt May was so concerned she made a fuss.

"This is Gravattack's rock skin," Ben said helplessly.

"Benny, you've come at the right time. The Batteries explosives are all in place, but for some reason, Ego's core seems to have suddenly lost its activity," Uncle Ben asked curiously.

"He's probably dead."

"Dead? Then, shall we still bomb it?"

"Of course it'll explode! Not only will it explode, but it'll be a big one! Let's enjoy the fireworks of planetary destruction!" Ben grinned, waved his hands, and a large amount of oxygen gathered around him, even forming an atmosphere similar to Earth's around him.

Immediately afterwards, everyone floated up under his gravity and flew out into outer space.

Beyond the universe, as Ben said, a grand fireworks display is underway.

As the core was destroyed, the remaining energy in Ego's corpse was also detonated, and terrible cracks bloomed on the planet's surface like the branches of a tree undergoing a major transformation.

Boom!!!

A silent, deafening roar.

After the flames, the Celestial who had existed since the beginning of the universe perished.

Ben snapped his fingers lightly, activating the power of the Space Stone.

"Let's go home."

--

As the dust drifted through the universe, the silver figure streaked past like a comet, only to suddenly stop.

Silver Surfer stood on his distinctive Skateboard, his brow slightly furrowed.

"The Living Planet Ego is dead? It seems necessary to report this to the World Eater."
