Chapter 184 / Chapter 185

Delving deep inside and out, all the way to the interior of the planet.

The entire planet has become something like a clone of Ego.

With the arrival of Ego's consciousness, this planet was officially declared to be Ego's new body!

Maintaining the exact same approach, they even began to extend their influence to planet after planet.

It's as if countless selves have suddenly appeared!

And the assimilated planets were gradually taken over, one by one.

Legend has it that these are Omniversal Level, most of whom are described as omniscient and omnipresent.

Similarly, those who are qualified to reach this level can also be called Omniversal Level.

This is the source of Ego's evolution in assimilating the universe.

The universe is indeed vast, but if one is omnipresent within it, then what is there that one cannot know or do?

Ego carried out his plan, scattering his seeds on every planet he could reach, and eventually making them a part of himself.

This is Ego's plan to assimilate the universe, and once the plan succeeds, he will become an omnipresent being!

At this moment, looking across the entire universe, countless planets appeared as a grayish-blue color.

A dark gray substance enveloped the planet, causing its entire state to change rapidly.

And some of them began to beat like a heart, as if they were being reawakened.

These planets that have reawakened now share a common name.

His name is Ego.

Chapter 184

On Ego the Living Planet, Star-Lord's body began to gradually become ethereal.

But the Guardians of the Galaxy, the only ones who could save Star-Lord, are not by his side, and they can't even guarantee their own freedom now.

Perhaps because of Ego's appearance, the Four Generals of the Black Order did not kill the remaining Guardians of the Galaxy, but instead imprisoned them again.

However, this time the defense was much tighter than before.

No one can rescue Star-Lord, which also means no one can stop Ego's plans.

After all, Star-Lord is a crucial part of Ego's plan.

In the vast universe, hundreds of planets have gradually been assimilated by Ego into his body.

They have spread to every corner of the universe, and after planets are completely assimilated, these assimilated planets even begin to move closer to surrounding planets, attempting to continue spreading and expanding this infection.

Planets that have survived like Earth are not very common.

"This time it's probably not as simple as just clearing away trash. So far, I've received dozens of distress signals, and some of them haven't been heard from since. It's hard to imagine what they've been through."

Captain Marvel, with a serious expression, spoke to Su Chen at the S.W.O.R.D.. headquarters.

The crisis that emerged and then quickly disappeared was not taken lightly by the S.W.O.R.D..

On the contrary, the entire department is now on high alert.

Since the start of this expansion, Captain Marvel had already received distress signals from more than one location.

That makes sense; while intelligent planets are not numerous, they are still quite a few.

Every planet Ego visited was inhabited by intelligent life.

"Although the crisis on Earth has been resolved, other planets will certainly need our help."

After exchanging a few words with Captain Marvel and Su Chen, they left Earth and headed towards the various planets that had issued distress signals.

After all, Captain Marvel isn't just Captain Marvel from Earth...

In a place extremely far from Earth, there is the neutral Xandar.

"Sir, the threat has been completely monitored and eliminated, resulting in the loss of 36 Nova Fighter."

A person in protective clothing spoke calmly into the walkie-talkie.

As a planet where intelligent life exists, and in fact, in the largest number of such beings.

This place also attracted Ego's attention.

However, somewhat similar to Earth, this expansion was quickly discovered and contained by the Nova Corps, which was responsible for the planet's security, after it had been underway for some time.

The dark blue substance is only used to assimilate planets. Although it has some destructive power, destructive power is not its primary purpose. Therefore, even if it does not reach Su Chen's attack level, their firepower alone can eliminate this substance.

First they controlled the area, then they provided fire coverage; everything they did was clearly much more complicated than what Su Chen.

During the process of controlling the situation, more than 30 spacecraft were destroyed.

This is a considerable loss.

Fortunately, after this loss, they finally gained complete control of the substance and successfully made it disappear from the planet.

"Continue to monitor planetary fashion 24/7 and increase protective measures to prevent this plant from continuing to proliferate on this planet!"

However, the Nova Corps did not return; instead, they continued their meticulous search of the planet as if facing a formidable enemy.

After clearing away all the substances, they naturally discovered the final culprit: a plant that shimmered with a strange luster.

They couldn't be sure if there was only one plant on this planet; if there were more, the consequences would be even more unimaginable when those plants proliferated.

"Is there any definitive information about this plant?"

The chief governor of Xandar sat solemnly in his command center, questioning the personnel below who were making inquiries.

"We have never discovered this plant before, and there is no record of it in our archives..."

The person making the inquiry below gently shook their head.

While the operations command center and the Legion were operating simultaneously, a pair of eyes outside the Legion were silently watching the Nova Corps.

"Well..."

Looking at Thor, who remained somber, Heimdall sighed softly.

A series of blows caused Thor, after his initial anger, to quickly enter his current state of unusual depression.

···Requesting flowers···· ·

When Thor first arrived on Xandar, Thor also attempted to join this Legion.

After all, Thor believed this would be an excellent source of power.

Whether it's to increase their own power or for future revenge.

However, he was ruthlessly rejected; he did not gain the recognition of the Nova Force.

Now, seeing this crisis that even he felt slightly amiss about, only to be resolved by the Nova Corps, Thor felt a mix of emotions.

Jealousy? It didn't seem to be in his heart.

Perhaps "bitter" is the most fitting word to describe his current state of mind.

... 0

"My king..."

Heimdall took a deep breath and returned to Thor's side.

"Are you ready to become the Rune King? Perhaps this is our only path now..."

Heimdall could hardly bear to look at Thor was now.

This is their only path, but it is also an incredibly cruel one.

"I'm ready."

A slightly dejected Thor turned his head and looked at Heimdall, whose eyes were lowered, and spoke softly.

"To be precise, it doesn't matter whether we're prepared or not, right? We have nothing left, we've even run out of options!"

At this point, Thor seemed to have regained some strength and spoke through gritted teeth.

His tone was unusually low, but it also carried an unwavering resolve and a sinister edge.

"My king, a ritual is being performed that requires you to gouge out your own eyes..."

"I know I can endure it; I've made up my mind."

"They also had to hang themselves from the tree for nine days and nine nights, and the slightest mistake would..."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Heimdall's eyes.

"That's wonderful, isn't it? I couldn't be happier."

Thor gave a wry smile.

Perhaps death isn't such a bad thing for Thor now; it might even be an endless liberation!

"Alright, I'll take you back to Asgard now..."

Chapter 185

In a secluded place, two figures slowly appeared.

"I never imagined there would be a passage to Asgard here."

Thor walked out of the passage, looked at everything familiar around him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Besides the Bifrost, which leads to any place, Asgard has quite a few passageways."

Heimdall seems to know a great deal about this.

Loki's ancestors, the Glacial Giants, also arrived at the palace directly through a secret passage.

It even appeared directly in the treasure vault.

What's somewhat disheartening is that back then, the treasure vault was garrisoned by a whole squad of Sentry Screen robots...

"This is where Odin, the former king, reached his peak. Legend has it that here one can learn the secrets of all things in the world and understand the ultimate mysteries of runes."

Heimdall's eyes were filled with a dazed look as he looked at the well that had appeared before them.

This is a place known to all Asgardians.

According to legend, Odin reached his peak state right here.

But apart from him and the vanished Odin, no one knew the exact location of this place.

Now this place welcomes its third visitor: Thor.

"My father..."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Thor's previously hesitant heart finally calmed down completely.

He slowly walked up to the well.

"To initiate the ritual, you must inevitably lose something."

Thor's hands slowly rose until they were level with his forehead.

Heimdall instinctively turned his head away.

Pfft!

After a slightly nauseating sound.

Thor trembled violently and clenched his teeth!

Two filthy objects appeared in his hands; they were Thor's eyes.

Although he could no longer see what was in front of him, Thor endured the excruciating pain and painfully threw his eyes into the well of his memories.

Cast your eyes into the Well of Wisdom...

There was no sound inside, but a stream of water slowly appeared, even spreading out of the well opening.

Upon hearing the sound, Thor didn't hesitate at all, and knelt down at the well's edge, drinking deeply.
