"This... we're all men, you know. What man doesn't want to be big and strong?"
As a seasoned ladies' man, Star-Lord knew exactly how important being "powerful" was to a man.
If love at first sight between men and women was mainly about looks, then whether married life was happy depended heavily on whether the man was strong enough.
Facing the ever-dominant Gamora, Star-Lord naturally hoped he could be strong enough in that other regard.
Jerry did not agree to Star-Lord's request. Instead, he patted Star-Lord on the shoulder.
"Quill, when Ego talked to you before, he should have explained the nature of Celestial Power, right?"
"The nature of Celestial Power? Ego did mention it before, but what does that have to do with this?"
Star-Lord still had not caught on.
Jerry leaned closer and explained in a low voice.
"Ego can use Celestial Power to create a body, and he can use Celestial Power to create a planet. Naturally, he can also use Celestial Power to alter the size and strength of his body's organs.
"And you possess Celestial Power from the same source as Ego. If you want to, you don't need my help at all. You can do it yourself.
"As big as you want, as strong as you want!
"If Gamora is willing, you can even use Celestial Power to make certain changes to her body.
"So instead of wasting time on this, you should study the Celestial Power inside you. That's the best option, understand?"
Although Jerry had erased Ego's soul, he had retained Ego's Planet and Ego's Celestial Power, so the Celestial Power within Star-Lord naturally had not disappeared.
What he had just told Star-Lord was indeed true. However, reaching the level he described would definitely not be possible in a short time unless
