Chapter 342 Luma: Xiaoban must be waiting anxiously for my wedding
"I know their location. I installed a locating device on Star-Lord's ship a long time ago."
Yongdu said.
Bant was not surprised at all by this unexpected visitor. Before this, Yondu had already made many requests to the Tiangong Association, hoping that they would hand over Star-Lord.
Uncle Ben and Kaila both thought that he wanted to take Star-Lord to Ego in exchange for a bounty, but only Bant knew that this was not the case. This ferocious space pirate had never thought of hurting any child. He had been deceived by Ego before. When he knew of Ego's scam, he no longer worked for him, but raised Star-Lord.
From beginning to end, he had only one goal, to protect Star-Lord.
Protect this little guy whom he had already regarded as his son.
The reason why he took the initiative to find Bant was that he felt that under the current circumstances, perhaps only Tiangong could help him rescue Star-Lord from Ego.
The only problem is...
"The Tiangong Badge also has a positioning function, but Igo has blocked all signals. Is your locator more advanced than the Tiangong Badge?"
"That's not how it works, sir."
Yongdu smiled and said hoarsely, "Ego regards you and the Tiangong Association as a huge threat, so he is very cautious about anything from the Tiangong Association. But I am different. In his eyes, I am just an insignificant little character. He doesn't care what an ant does."
Obviously, Yondu is not dissatisfied with being treated as a minor character. On the contrary, he is very happy about it.
The Predators may sound famous, but they are actually just a group of space pirates. Moreover, this Predator team is the kind that is excluded, basically no different from rats crossing the street.
Ego is afraid of the Tiangong Association because it is the fourth empire in the universe, and Bant Parker defeated Thanos and almost killed Doujian in seconds. Although he is not afraid of him, the strength shown by Bant is obviously enough to cause him trouble.
But courage is nothing!
"You do have a point." Bante nodded, then looked at him and reminded him, "What about your subordinates? I think they have a lot of opinions about you."
Yongdu looked back at the looters in the distance and said stubbornly, "Wait until I catch that kid Star-Lord, take away the batteries, and divide the money, then naturally no one will say anything."
-
On Ego's planet.
Mantis took Star-Lord and his crew for a stroll in the prosperous garden of the planet, where there were countless strange creatures, including many plants that had become extinct many years ago. The fantastic scene made this place look like a dream paradise.
"To be honest, I don't know what rumors you have heard about me in the universe, but I can assure you that I have no intention of doing anything to my son Peter."
In front of the crowd, Ego strode forward with his head held high, while explaining to Uncle Ben and others behind him.
Whether it was Uncle Ben or Luma, their equipment was somewhat damaged, and it was obvious that they had fought a great battle with Ego. Unfortunately, the outcome was not unexpected, and Ego crushed them with his absolute strength.
Even Luma, who has learned the eternal power, is not in the same league as Ego.
If Luma met Ego's transformed body in the universe, then she would have a great chance of winning, but with Ego's original body, it would be too easy to suppress Luma.
However, after defeating Luma and others, Ego did not kill them. Instead, he seemed to want to have a good communication with them and invited them to be guests on his planet.
So there is the present scene.
"I have existed since the beginning of the universe. In my long life, I have made countless mistakes, but giving birth to Peter is not one of them." Ego said affectionately.
He didn't lie.
Compared to the thousands and thousands of his children who lay buried beneath the earth, Peter Quill was indeed different, very unique.
First of all, he was the child of the woman he loved most.
It is for this reason that Ego did not take the initiative to look for Star-Lord in the years after Yondu secretly detained him. Perhaps he himself was also hesitating in his heart whether to let Peter become one with himself.
Second, Peter Quill is the only one among so many children who inherited his genes and his true power!
This was discovered by Egg after he brought Peter back.
Although his previous children were all his biological children, the genes they inherited were merely the genes of the body that Ego embodied, not the genes of the gods.
But Star-Lord is different. He is truly qualified to have an equal conversation with Ego.
From the moment he was born, Ego was truly free from loneliness!
Because of Peter's special nature, Ego actually doesn't want to kill him, but hopes to embark on the path of purifying and assimilating the universe with Peter.
This is also the case in the movie. If Star-Lord had not refused, Ego would not have chosen to use him as a battery to provide himself with energy. He loves Star-Lord and Star-Lord's mother very much. Unfortunately, Ego is not the kind of guy who would give up his life goals for a little bit of emotion.
Over the past billions of years, devouring and assimilating other planets was the destiny determined by his long life, and the short-lived emotions of human beings were just a flash in the pan to him.
Of course, now is not the time for him to reveal his cards.
"Peter, my son..." Ego looked at Star-Lord lovingly. In order to give Star-Lord a familiar feeling, he even kept his appearance old. He looked like Ego's ordinary earthling father.
But Aunt Mei always felt a little awkward.
She turned her head and whispered to Ben: "Every time he talks about Peter, I feel like he is talking about our nephew." "Yeah, I wonder how Peter and Ben are doing now."
Uncle Ben was kind of missing the kids, too.
I don't think there's anything to worry about for small classes, but things like thinking about children have nothing to do with whether the children are reliable or not.
"I miss Xiaoban too!" Luma sighed, "I didn't expect that I still haven't found all the betrothal gifts. I'm too embarrassed to see Xiaoban! I guess my sweetheart must be waiting anxiously for my wedding!"
You are really overthinking it.
Aunt May wiped Bant's sweat.
She knew that Bant had a girlfriend on Earth, so how could he want to marry Luma so soon?
Not far away, Rocket sat on Groot's shoulder and scratched his butt in a very ungraceful manner. Then he looked at Star-Lord and Ego who were gradually walking away, and his eyes narrowed.
"I never thought that Peter, this dead orphan, would actually find his father one day. It's really weird!"
"I'm Groot."
"Yeah, I also think he's not a good guy!" Rocket nodded in agreement.
He saw in Ego a trait very similar to that of the Supreme Evolution, and although he hid it well and did not release that feeling towards Star-Lord, Rocket was very keenly aware of the other's arrogance.
"Mantis, take them for a walk," Egg ordered. Then he smiled and said to Uncle Ben, "I think you guys wouldn't mind giving us some private space, right?"
"Of course I don't mind."
Uncle Ben shook his head. "We have to apologize for the misunderstanding, Mr. Egg. We thought you were going to kill the child."
"This is not your fault, it's Yondu's fault. He is a despicable space thief. I shouldn't have let him go to Earth to pick up Peter." Ego said regretfully.
So the two groups separated.
Mantis leads the others for a stroll in the planet's garden, while Ego, after an argument with Star-Lord, is already guiding Star-Lord on how to use his powers.
"Damn, they're pretty cozy!"
Rocket looked back every two or three steps, his eyes clearly filled with worry and relief for Star-Lord. At the same time, he also thought of his old friends.
If they hadn't died, then perhaps he could be as happy as Star-Lord is now.
"I'm Groot."
Groot, who was dragging him, stretched out a vine and wiped the wet eyes for him.
"I'm not crying! It was your branch that poked my eye!" The little guy suddenly got angry and roared loudly, attracting the attention of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. How could these two old people, who looked young but were already old, not know that the little raccoon in front of them also had an unhealable pain in his heart.
However, neither of them said anything. Rocket was too sensitive and comforting him directly might have the opposite effect.
On the contrary, Mantis grew up on Ego's planet. Because of her ability, Ego took her in as a "flea" and kept her on his body, so she is very curious about things outside these planets.
"Are all the women out there as strong as Miss Luma?"
"Is that the puppy you guys have? It looks so cute."
"..."
She chatted non-stop with Aunt May and Uncle Ben.
All kinds of strange questions kept popping up, which were even more difficult to deal with than their own nephews, but what Uncle Ben and Aunt May lacked the least was patience.
night.
After Mantis brought everyone to the resting place, her naive face was already full of her emotions.
She has a very special power that allows her to sense other people's inner thoughts. Therefore, when she got close to Uncle Ben and Aunt May during the day, she was immediately captured by their warm hearts.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in all these years on Ego's planet.
Egg was cold and cruel.
But Uncle Ben and Aunt May were like a warm campfire, like a fireplace filled with wood in winter, and they felt like home.
This made her eager to tell them her own secret, or rather, Ego's secret.
She didn't want to deceive these two people.
