Ego's bizarre tastes truly earned Luo Xia's utmost admiration. He could even go after a symbiote—just how twisted did one have to be?
Besides, weren't these things asexually reproducing organisms? How exactly had he managed to produce a symbiote egg carrying Celestial power? Truly, one lived and learned. Luo Xia felt his knowledge was still far too limited.
Thunderous Might was right: symbiotes generally did no harm to their hosts. They were beneficial parasites with only basic intelligence, neither good nor evil by nature. No matter how wicked the symbiote's previous hosts had been, Luo Xia had complete faith in Captain America's willpower.
He was the only hero who had withstood the side effects of the Super Soldier Serum. His will was even more unbreakable than the shield in his hand.
Bursts of white light flickered continuously across Steve's body. Energy belonging to the Celestials was steadily pouring into him, seemingly remaking his body as well.
The reason Celestial power was so difficult to inherit was that its level was extraordinarily high—nearly on the same creation-tier level as the Infinity Stones. Using the Infinity Stones was no easy task to begin with, and Celestial power was much the same.
That was why Ego had spent so many years producing only one descendant, Star-Lord. After parasitizing Steve, this symbiote began using its biological traits to help reshape Steve's body so it could accommodate that power.
Compared with Ego's nearly limitless Celestial power, the power carried by the symbiote was only a tiny trace. Yet it represented infinite potential, like a seed capable of growing into a towering tree.
The process was not slow. If anything, it was a little too fast. Before long, the white symbiote tissue covering Steve's body gradually sank into him, as though it had never existed.
