Chapter 343 The hero appears
"There is indeed a problem!"
Early in the morning, just after the sun rose, Mantis, who had been struggling all night, finally told Uncle Ben and the others the truth.
However, she didn't actually understand it completely, because Ego planned to kill Star-Lord directly and turn him into his own nourishment, just like the other children before him.
But in fact, at this moment, Ego hopes that Star-Lord can accept his great ideals and work together with him to eliminate all life in the universe and assimilate all planets into his own!
It's too lonely to be alone.
He needs someone of his kind who can accompany him for hundreds of millions of years.
As for Mantis, in Ego's view she was just a useful flea. If she wasn't of some value and could make him fall into a short sleep, Ego would have let her die long ago.
"I never thought there would be such a father in this world..." Aunt Mei frowned and said seriously, "We can't watch that child die."
"You're right, May."
Uncle Ben also nodded seriously, and then said: "Mei, you go wake up Luma, and I'll go wake up Rocket and Groot. Now that we can't contact Ben, I'm afraid we're going to have a very difficult battle to fight."
The two of them acted separately, and Mei quickly entered Luma's room.
As a fierce-looking muscular woman, Luma's sleeping posture was unexpectedly very peaceful, with her four arms clasped quietly and placed flat on her flat abdomen. At this moment, she looked more like a princess than at any other time.
"Luma, wake up."
Aunt Mei gently held one of her hands. Luma was sleepy, with her four red eyes half-closed, and she spoke in a daze: "Xiaoban..."
This child is hopeless. He still recites Xiaoban’s name in his dreams.
Aunt Mei shook her head helplessly, but she was very satisfied with Luma in her heart.
Not only Luma, Felicia is also a good girl. Mary Jane is also the niece of her neighbor, and she knows her inside and out. Although Ben sometimes says that the Mary Jane in the parallel universe is vain, Aunt May thinks that this has nothing to do with the Mary Jane she knows.
"it's me."
"Aunt Mei?" Luma suddenly woke up and an excited expression appeared on her face.
She is not the kind of idiot who only has muscles but no brains. Aunt May came to wake her up secretly at this time, obviously to deal with the guy named Ego.
To be honest, Luma had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The reason she lost to Ego before was because the other party used huge amounts of energy to crush her unreasonably, leaving her with very few opportunities to fight back.
Now, she is already on the opponent's body. She can just smash the ground under her feet to start.
"I've been wanting to make a scene for a long time!"
Luma's four fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.
On the other side, Rocket and Groot were also woken up.
After the little raccoon heard what Uncle Ben had explained to him, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he said angrily, "It seems that we have to save this little orphan Peter. Come on, Groot, stick your branch into his father's dermatitis! Haha!"
"I'm Groot!"
"Don't swear!" Uncle Ben hit them on the head one by one.
Then, the three of them picked up their equipment and headed outside.
at the same time.
In the palace built by Ego, the awakened Ego brought Star-Lord to the center of the hall and showed him the "great achievements" he had made over the years.
He used some of Star-Lord's favorite old songs as metaphors.
"I am like a sailor. Although I like the girl, our home is the sea after all. For that great ideal, everything else can be left behind."
But Star-Lord didn't care about that. He just frowned and asked:
"So, that includes my mom?"
"Your mother, I have to say, is the only woman I have ever loved." Igo's face showed a nostalgic expression. He began to explain, "I went back to Earth to see her twice. The reason I only went back twice was because I knew that if there was a third time, I would definitely give up the destiny I insisted on, all my ideals, and stay on that planet to accompany her forever."
"..."
Star-Lord didn't say anything, but from his expression you could tell that he was a little moved.
He had almost no memory of his father, but as for his mother, even after so many years of drifting in the universe, he could not forget the woman who was dying on the hospital bed.
Therefore, when he confirmed that Ego was actually full of love for his mother, Star-Lord's resentment for his absence over the years slowly disappeared.
Unfortunately, as a god, Ego still didn't understand the emotions of mortals. Seeing that Star-Lord was a little moved, he let the cat out of the bag:
"So I gave her cancer..."
"what?"
Star-Lord's eyes suddenly cleared.
"Yes, I was the cause of your mother's brain tumor." Igo said without hesitation.
He didn't let the cat out of the bag at all, but in his opinion, this was actually a reflection of his love for Star-Lord's mother.
For a mortal, it is a great honor to let a god make such a difficult choice!
"How dare you kill my mother!"
boom!
Star-Lord picked up the elemental gun like a madman and blasted Ego's body into pieces in an instant!
Half of the opponent's body had been smashed to pieces by Star-Lord's bullets, but the body made of energy was still struggling to maintain itself. Even Ego showed a surprised expression on his face.
"what are you doing?"
He couldn't understand why his son, who had been talking to him nicely, suddenly changed his attitude.
But Star-Lord didn't want to say anything more to this scumbag. He kept shooting, and the powerful elemental bullets shattered Ego's body in the blink of an eye.
However, the next second, Ego's body expanded directly, the earth was torn apart, and huge amounts of energy turned into earth veins and gushed out, directly knocking Star-Lord away.
"You ungrateful thing, I originally wanted to explore a new universe with you, father and son, but now, you just have to be a battery that provides me with energy for a thousand years!"
Ego waved his arm, and countless energy rushed towards Star-Lord, binding him tightly like a tentacle, and ruthlessly absorbing the energy from Star-Lord's body.
"Don't try to succeed!"
boom!
At this moment, a laser beam suddenly came and directly cut off the energy tentacles that trapped Star-Lord.
Uncle Ben took the lead. Although he was already a middle-aged plumber, his skills were surprisingly good. Combined with the equipment of the Tiangong Society, he also made quite a name for himself in the universe.
Rocket followed closely behind, and with a few shots, he helped Star-Lord out of the siege, then said in a mean way: "Peter, what do you think? You just can't do without me! But I never thought your dad is even more of an asshole than you!"
"I agree with you this time."
It was a rare occasion that Star-Lord didn't argue with him. Groot swung his arm, and the extended vines picked up the elemental gun that Star-Lord dropped and threw it back into his hand.
"Thank you Groot." "How dare you, you bugs--BOOM!!!"
Before Ego could finish his harsh words, a red figure fell like a meteorite and smashed his body to pieces with a hammer.
"Wow, it's bursting!" Rocket was stunned and said to Groot, "Groot, remind me not to try to steal her things. And you, Star-Lord, put away your brain full of white essence and don't mess with her. If you turn into meat paste, it will be too troublesome to help you collect your body."
"You don't have to say it!"
Star-Lord rolled his eyes.
Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to provoke this four-handed girl.
Otherwise, Tiangong would have ten million ways of dying that would suit him.
Luma grabbed Ego and started hammering him, and in a flash she knocked him silent.
Uncle Ben was stunned for a moment, "Is that the solution?"
"No, that's just the incarnation of Ego. He will be back soon. We'd better escape from this planet immediately!" Mantis said in fear.
Of all the people present, she was the one who knew Ego's power best.
Ego is far more than just a planet. Over the long years, he has already devoured countless planets with life. The countless powers gathered in his body have allowed him to reach a very terrifying level.
"We have to leave quickly! Your spaceship..."
"You're not going anywhere!"
Before Mantis could finish her words, the energy from the planet gathered in the sky to form a huge face. The face changed in many ways. Sometimes he looked old, sometimes young, and sometimes he became the appearance of other races that Ego had incarnated into over the long years.
But no matter how he transforms, he releases the power of destruction.
The magnificent palace began to collapse, the rare plants in the gardens withered, and all the dreamy scenes shattered like illusory bubbles, revealing the most original appearance of the planet - desolate, dilapidated... just like Ego's cold and ruthless heart.
"This is a complete scam!"
Star-Lord was now fully aware that this bald and ugly planet was what his father truly looked like, and those beautiful scenes were merely transformed by the other party using the power of God.
But Igo doesn't think so.
He shouted angrily, "That could have been true! It was you who ruined everything! My stupid child, I shouldn't have had any illusions about you! The low-level human genes in your body made you so despicable!"
As he spoke, he blasted his energy towards everyone.
"Be careful!" Uncle Ben warned, and quickly picked up the gun and shot at Ego's energy tentacles.
Fortunately, Tiangong’s weapons are advanced enough, otherwise these energies would be of little use to them.
He somersaulted to the ground several times and fought back a hail of bullets by himself. Aunt May's skills were pretty good, only Groot was holding him back. He was a mere physicist now and was at a great disadvantage against energy bodies.
"I told you, you can't escape!"
Ego's voice became louder and louder, and in an instant, it seemed as if the entire planet was torn apart. The light energy was like the heads of giant dragons, rising from the torn earth and howling towards the sky!
Several people were stunned by the scene before them.
Looking around, in the endless wilderness, blue and white vines burst out like mountains, as if the vitality of an entire planet is blooming in an instant. If you look in from space, the scene is even more spectacular - it's like a dead planet suddenly has infinite vitality, releasing dazzling light to the entire universe.
Uncle Ben and his companions are as small as ants in the face of such a huge energy.
"Oh..." Rocket was stunned, the gun in his hand drooped, his ears drooped, and he retreated behind Star-Lord, "Depending on you, Fatty! Use your energy to repel it!"
Star-Lord: ???
"Putting aside the fact that you called me fat, do you really think I can handle this thing?" He lifted Rocket by the collar and asked unhappily.
"Why not? He's your father. You have the same strength as he does. I saw you playing ball with him yesterday." Rocket said stubbornly.
"The energy ball I made is only the size of a baseball..."
"Can you please stop bickering?"
Uncle Ben was overwhelmed and waved his hands to command everyone to run.
However, Ego was faster, and those energies plunged into the earth like a dragon. The hard earth's crust seemed as fragile as water at this moment and was torn apart by those energies in an instant, leaving a shark-like trail on the earth.
boom! ! !
In the blink of an eye, the energies were within reach.
Seeing this, Luma grabbed Aunt May and Mantis with her hands under her ribs and held them around her waist. She grabbed Star-Lord's arms with her hands on her shoulders and threw Star-Lord and Rocket directly towards the spaceship.
Groot quickly stretched out his hand and hung on Star-Lord's right foot, and was thrown away as well.
Then Luma clamped two of them around her waist, lifted Uncle Ben up horizontally with her arms, bent her legs, and jumped several kilometers away.
Boom! ! !
Every time it lands, it feels like a meteorite hitting the planet.
But even so, their progress was too slow.
Or rather, it’s not that they are too slow, but that Ego is everywhere.
The gushing energy surged directly into the ground in front of them, blowing up half of Star-Lord's old falcon-shaped spacecraft, leaving only its rear engine rolling to the side...
Then, the energy came like a mountain, instantly scattering everyone!
"what!"
Being wrapped in Ego's energy, they felt as if they were grabbed by a huge hand. As the energy continued to compress, the bodies of several people were also squeezed, which was extremely painful.
At this moment, the vibranium suit and Luma's muscle density seemed like a joke and were of no use at all.
Star-Lord's experience was miserable.
The man who claimed to be his father was now ruthlessly trying to drain all his abilities!
His eyes turned blue-white, and his pupils disappeared, replaced by the same energy as Ego's. His skin also changed as if it had been electrocuted...
"You asked for it, Peter!"
Ego spoke in a fierce tone. From beginning to end, he never said anything to anyone other than Star-Lord. Even if Mantis betrayed him, he didn't care.
In his eyes, other people are nothing but ants.
Only Star-Lord is the only one qualified to talk to him.
But his ending was the same as that of his other children - death!
"No one can save you this time!"
Ego waved his hand indifferently, and the energy suddenly increased significantly. In a flash, the gushing energy flooded the sky, followed by a terrible explosion!
boom! ! !
"Who said there isn't one?"
Green flames spread, and in the flames, Bant slowly walked out, raised the corners of his mouth, and pressed his watch.
"The hero appears!"
