Hayato's performance gave Star-Lord greater confidence.
Star-Lord might have looked carefree and relaxed, but having spent the most time with Ego, he naturally knew just how powerful a Celestial was. Deep down, he was somewhat pessimistic.
As the leader, he could not show that emotion. Otherwise, the team would truly be finished.
Star-Lord increased the frequency of his attacks, hoping to share some of Hayato's burden. He did not know what Hayato was doing; he only had an instinctive feeling that it was important.
Star-Lord was the type to trust his sixth sense. Whatever he thought, he did.
Hayato could not sense Star-Lord's inner journey. He opened his eyes, his expression speechless, because he had already figured out Ego's method of attack.
Ego's tentacles were extensions of his core.
This was very strange. Most creatures' attacks involved a process of energy conversion.
For example, for ninjas, ninjutsu was the conversion of chakra, spirit, and matter.
Yet Ego's tentacles were composed almost identically to his brain, both being extremely pure power. This energy was very similar to the life force in Hayato's Senzu Beans.
If there was a difference, it was that anyone could use Senzu Beans as long as they knew how.
Ego's energy, however, could only be used by Ego.
Ego used this energy to create life.
To put it simply, it was like the difference between encrypted and unencrypted files.
Ego's energy was an encrypted file. The problem was that Ego's encryption method was rather primitive, the sort that could be cracked with a decoder downloaded online. If it could be cracked...
Well, he should not say "if," because Hayato had already cracked it.
In other words, Hayato could directly use this energy.
The tentacles covering the sky and earth were, to Hayato, an inexhaustible supply of energy.
