Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation: A Loving Father and Filial Son
"You should have a very clear understanding of how powerful the power you just awakened is, having experienced it firsthand. A tiny bit of energy was enough to elicit such a reaction from someone with only half blood. Your father must be a pureblood, meaning he possesses the power to single-handedly annihilate an entire Starforce."
Wei Xiuming slowly said, "Although we don't know your father's race or appearance, he must have disguised himself as an Earthling. Therefore, we can conclude that he has a very good understanding of the Earthling's physical structure... Imagine that your father is a mobile source of strong radiation, and your mother is just an ordinary Earthling. With prolonged close contact with your father, her body would definitely develop diseases... Cancer is one of them."
"Your father couldn't possibly be unaware of this, yet he continued to live with your mother and had her conceive his child, you. Therefore, in a sense, he killed your mother."
"I admit that Earth's technology is lagging behind. Let alone forty years ago, medical technology has developed alongside science and technology. Even now, Earthlings can only treat a very small number of diseases, let alone cancer."
"But your father is different. He's an alien, possessing technology that Earthlings regard as gods. He also has the power to remove the cancerous cells from your mother's body... But why didn't he do that?"
"Furthermore, in your previous nonsense, you mentioned that after your mother died, Yondu went to Earth and kidnapped you when you were young. Let's make a bold guess: Yondu, this Ravagers, is the kind of person who will do anything for money. Taking away an insignificant child from Earth is definitely not something he would do on a whim; someone must have paid him to do it. And that person's timing was excellent, coinciding with your mother's death from illness, so that a mother wouldn't have to endure the pain of losing her child."
"But for some reason, Yondu didn't hand you over to his employer as cargo. Instead, he kept you by his side and taught you all his skills so you could survive in this dangerous universe—even though all he knows are the petty, low-class tricks of Ravagers, and you look like a complete idiot right now, but that's all he could do."
Although the process was inaccurate, the conclusion was correct, and Wei Xiuming deliberately added some unfounded elements to subtly increase Star-Lord's dislike for Ego, before staging a scene of fatherly love and filial piety.
Isn't the fun of Kamen Rider, besides the various flashy suit battles, precisely in this aspect?
Just like how writers only got into the Super Sentai fandom because of Shizuka Kaze, they only recently joined the Super Sentai fandom because of the real-life villainous female executive Jotuna, whom they hadn't seen in many years. Otherwise, what's so interesting about a bunch of tight-fitting perverts fighting?
But when Wei Xiuming turned to look at Star-Lord, he found the man staring blankly at him with a dumbfounded expression—no doubt, Star-Lord couldn't possibly understand what he had just said.
Star-Lord is so big because Yondu is a kind-hearted father with a sharp tongue.
"Hey, Boss, we're in big trouble." Star-Lord, who was originally walking alongside Wei Xiuming, cautiously took a step back, letting Wei Xiuming be half a body length ahead of him.
"Your wording is very problematic. Why separate 'very big' and 'troublesome'? Is it because removing 'and' would automatically identify the new word as a prohibited word and censor it? But that kind of problem doesn't occur in English contexts," Wei Xiuming complained. "And you don't need to tell me, I saw that black guy over there. 'Correctivity' is causing a lot of trouble. Even the dignified Elf King Serdil has donned a blue skin. They're both blue-skinned, but the Pursuer has been magically modified into a black-skinned one."
Five Kree blocked the entrance to the Temple of Morag, their ray guns aimed at Wei Xiuming and Star-Lord.
Perhaps it was still an unconscious act, but Star-Lord betrayed himself. The title of "BOSS" made Korath the Pursuer, pay special attention to Wei Xiuming, thinking that he was in charge. Including Korath, there were a total of four dark gun barrels aimed at Wei Xiuming, while Star-Lord only had a henchman who didn't even show his face.
Wei Xiuming said nervously, "Peter, protect the stuff!"
"Search the person wearing the Ravagers's uniform; the Orb is definitely in his possession!"
The Korath the Pursuer, commanded the henchmen in Kree language, then continued to intimidate the two, "Hands up, don't make a move!"
"How did you know about this place? How did you know what was hidden here?!"
Wei Xiuming said, "Some strange guy told us."
The Kree soldier over there touched Star-Lord's prized cassette player, causing him to push away the soldier's groping hands. "Watch your posture, buddy!"
"Who is that person?!"
"The Korath the Pursuer, roared."
"White Robe Gandalf!... That is me."
Wei Xiuming was still wearing his white lab coat, living up to his name as the "white-robed man," and then gave a mysterious smile.
Upon seeing Wei Xiuming's smile, the Korath the Pursuer, felt a chill run down his spine and was about to fire. However, before he could pull the trigger, Wei Xiuming casually waved his hand, and all the Kree, including himself, were uncontrollably thrown into the air. Under the influence of gravity, they collided and adhered to each other. At the same time, the ray guns in their hands became unusually heavy and involuntarily slipped from their grasp.
"Of course, I also have another name, the Wonder Man!"
The TV series' Wonder Man is no longer Dr. Franklin Hall from the comics, but Glenn Talbot. He manipulates gravity not through gravity particles, but through a substance called Gravitonium.
This is a special mineral hidden beneath the Earth's crust, maintaining the balance of Earth's gravity. S.H.I.E.L.D.. once obtained a batch of Gravitonium, which were later taken by Doctor Death. Apart from a small portion used for experiments, the rest was used to build an underwater base. This substance is also found in the core and mantle of the planet that was blasted apart by Wei Xiuming's punch.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, the Great Leader used half of the power for the construction of the giant robot, and left the other half for Wei Xiuming's personal use. The power attached to these few Kree was just a small amount of the effect of Gravitonium.
Wei Xiuming will be spending time in the universe for some time to come, so leaving himself a backup plan is definitely the right thing to do. Using Universal Gravitation, one of the four fundamental forces, to cover up the truth about his Electromagnetic Force is a reasonable approach.
Furthermore, with experience in applying Electromagnetic Force and a vast amount of knowledge in his mind, Wei Xiuming can do far more with the help of Gravitonium than Wonder Man in the drama; a fraction of Gravitonium can have a tenfold effect in his hands.
Picking up the Kree ray guns and examining them, Wei Xiuming disdainfully tossed them aside. "It's a pity they're so ugly."
Because they are villains in the movies, the Kree's Necro Fighter and ray guns are designed to be very ugly, making it easy to recognize that the characters using them are villains.
"Walk!"
Wei Xiuming glanced at Star-Lord, making the foolish man shudder, but he still obediently followed Wei Xiuming out of the temple.
"White Robe Gandalf, and that nameless Ravagers, Ronan will definitely not let you get away with this!"
He is quite different from his comic book counterpart, but Korath the Pursuer has undergone physical modifications according to the original design, making him incredibly strong. Even though the Kree minions had their internal organs shattered and turned into corpses due to gravity, he still had the strength to speak.
"Whatever... Tell Ronan I'm waiting for him in the Knowhere!"
After leaving a message, Wei Xiuming walked out of the dilapidated temple without looking back. Star-Lord really wanted to say that he wasn't nameless, but rather Peter Quill, who had the cool nickname "Star-Lord," but after being glared at by Wei Xiuming, he slunk away after him.
After boarding the spaceship, Star-Lord hurriedly left Morag's atmosphere and headed away from the star system: "Hey, Captain, where are we going next—you must want to sell the Orb for a good price, right?"
"Coincidentally, we Ravagers know a lot about these sales channels; we guarantee you'll make a fortune."
"To Xandar," Wei Xiuming said in a muffled voice, pulling his gas mask from behind his waist and putting it on.
"Hey, we're on the same page, it's a broker, right? The connection I was talking about is him!" Star-Lord said with a sand statue-like expression.
Wei Xiuming chuckled, "No, we're going to Xandar to take Ms. Beryt home and, incidentally, to request reinforcements from the Nova Corps."
"What?" Star-Lord asked, puzzled.
His initiative to contact the Nova Corps was tantamount to surrendering himself. He had been caught by the Nova Corps more than once before for petty theft and breaking and entering. Hearing that name was like a mouse hearing a cat's meow.
"Didn't you hear that name that dark-skinned guy uttered? Accuser Ronan, a Kree fanatic, a true warmonger— Beryt. You should know about the peace treaty signed between Xandar and the Kree Empire." Wei Xiuming took out the Orb from his waist and used his own power to penetrate it, analyzing its structure.
Beryt, who had styled her loose hair into a typical Xandar hairstyle, said, "Yes, it ended the long war between Xandar and the Kree Empire, and peace has come to us. The Nova Corps even dismantled its surface-to-air defense system as a sign of goodwill."
"However, this so-called peace treaty could not restrain Ronan. His blood was filled with hatred for Xandar, and only the destruction of the entire civilization could extinguish his rage. Most importantly, the title of 'Accuser' itself reveals that he held multiple powers, including law enforcement, trial, and execution, and also possessed military power. The peace treaty only enraged him, making him even more eager to launch an attack on Xandar."
Wei Xiuming fiddled with the Orb and continued, "But Xandar took it seriously and drastically reduced its air defenses, creating an opportunity for Ronan —or rather, the entire Kree Empire served Ronan's attack; the peace treaty was merely a strategic tool—after all, the biggest effect of a treaty after it's signed is that it gets torn up."
Star-Lord was fine with it; he was just an interstellar wanderer with no sense of belonging to his home planet Earth. War or not, it meant nothing to him.
In contrast to him, Beryt looked tense; after all, Xandar was her home, and she didn't want it to be destroyed by war.
Soon, the spaceship headed towards Xandar.
Twisting the Orb, Wei Xiuming deftly opened it, revealing a gem within radiating purple light. Wei Xiuming then closed the orb again and asked Star-Lord, "Kid, do you have connections on Xandar?"
"Yes," Star-Lord continued shamelessly. Although he was already in his thirties, Yondu still treated him like a child, teaching him everything he needed to know. However, he didn't reveal anything about the most important thing for Ravagers: connections. For example, the deal involving the Orb was handled by Yondu himself after negotiating with the broker, allowing Star-Lord to gradually familiarize himself with these trading networks before taking over his job.
Unfortunately, Star-Lord had ulterior motives, ruining Yondu's plans and causing discontent within the Ravagers towards Star-Lord as Yondu's chosen successor—the old father's love was so difficult to express and so heavy.
"I need a gunsmith to make me a few guns, powerful and stylish—the kind the Kree have are the opposite." Wei Xiuming looked at the Orb in his hand, then at Star-Lord in the cockpit, and continued, "I also need some materials, equipment, and parts. I need to experiment with some equipment ideas...like an axe."
Although Star-Lord didn't hear the last half of Wei Xiuming's sentence because it was spoken too softly, the preceding content excited him greatly—judging from Wei Xiuming's lavish spending, he must be someone who doesn't care about money, or even treats money like it's nothing.
For this kind of person, Star-Lord can perfectly describe them with one word—a sucker.
Star-Lord would certainly arrange everything perfectly for Wei Xiuming, including introducing him to gun modifiers and black market dealers who sold parts and materials. But before that, he would negotiate the prices with the dealers and the kickback he deserved after ripping Wei Xiuming off.
Although the fuel was wasted and the business with the Orb failed, Star-Lord had already planned a way to make money for himself.
Meanwhile, after Wei Xiuming left the gravity range of Morag Planet, the Korath the Pursuer had been floating in the air along with the corpse, fell to the ground. He immediately took out his communicator and contacted the mothership.
"Ronan, the Orb has been stolen!"
Ronan aboard the Dark Aster was filled with anticipation that Korath the Pursuer, would bring back the Orb. With the power of the Power Stone within, he could crush Xandar in one fell swoop. To achieve this goal, he was willing to break the cooperation agreement he had reached with Thanos —even if he would have to endure Thanos's wrath, even if Thanos's two daughters were on his ship at that moment.
But the information Korath reported infuriated him, though he didn't show it. Instead, he asked, "Who did this?"
