Chapter 938: Son of the Planet and the Power of Awakening
"In the end, you made up for the fatherly love that Peter had lost over the years. I have to thank you for raising Peter very well..." In the Ego star, Ego's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Star-Lord with great satisfaction and a thought flashed through his mind.
Ego naturally liked the offspring that he didn't need to raise himself, but could harvest by sowing seeds, especially since he could sense that Star-Lord's talent was really good, second only to his first child who awakened his divine power. Star-Lord definitely had the hope of awakening his divine power!
"Why are you looking at me without saying anything?" When he found that Ego was looking at him without saying anything, with his eyes flickering constantly, Star-Lord's eyes flashed with a trace of discomfort, and he asked hesitantly.
"Oh, when I saw you, I thought of how I hadn't been able to grow up with you for so many years, and I deeply regret and feel guilty..." After Ego came to his senses, he looked at Star-Lord and said apologetically, but the words he said made Star-Lord feel even more uncomfortable, especially because Star-Lord felt that Ego's words seemed strange.
"So why didn't you come to see me for so many years? Also, was it because of you that I was taken out of the Earth? Most importantly, why did you leave your mother?" Star-Lord took a deep breath and asked his previous doubts.
"Yes, I entrusted Yondu to take you out of the Earth in order to see you and raise you, but I didn't expect that Yondu secretly detained you for some reason and has been hiding from me. I have no way to find the specific location of a group of predators..." Ego sighed helplessly and threw the blame on Yondu.
"I have found clues about Yondu more than once, but when I chased him, Yondu had already disappeared with you. Until recently, I heard news about the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire, and learned that there was a child named Star-Lord, which was the name of Yondu's subordinates. At that time, I knew that you had left Yondu's plundering team, so I started looking for your whereabouts, and finally found you being hunted by the Sovereigns."
"Yondu..." Star-Lord heard Ego's words, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, because he didn't know why Yondu kept him, and even Yondu never told him what he was going to do with this cargo that was kidnapped from the earth.
However, even so, Star-Lord could feel the true love and care from Yondu. At least Yondu gave Star-Lord a much better feeling than Ego in front of him. Star-Lord didn't know if this was because he was raised by Yondu.
"So, you haven't said why you left my mother. Is it because of another woman?" Originally, Star-Lord would not have such thoughts, but when he knew that Mantis was his sister, Star-Lord knew that Ego probably had many families.
Although Star-Lord could also be called a scumbag in this regard before, Star-Lord still could not accept that his mother was abandoned by a scumbag. It can be said that among all the close people, his mother is definitely the most important one to Star-Lord. Star-Lord does not allow his mother to suffer any grievances and injuries, even if she is no longer there.
"It's really my fault, but it also has something to do with my life experience..." After hearing Star-Lord's question, Ego's expression became more guilty, and he said with a sigh.
"Do you also have an unfortunate childhood? Is this what caused you to become like now? You may not believe it, but the childhoods of those present were not good." Star-Lord first laughed at himself. After all, everyone present had a tragic past, but Star-Lord did not think that the so-called life experience could be the reason for Ego to abandon his wife and children, or even abandon his wife and children more than once.
Of course, maybe Ego's growing environment is different from Star-Lord's, or maybe aliens don't have the concept of abandoning their wives and children?
"Childhood? I don't have that kind of thing at all, or I'm not a normal life as you know it..." Ego pointed to the evolving imaging cabin and said, "As you can see, countless years ago, I was a brain. I have no memory of anything before. The first impression I can remember is flickering, which can also be called breathing, but obviously, there is no air in the universe, so that's not what you understand as breathing."
"Wait! You said you were originally a brain?" Star-Lord widened his eyes and looked at Ego in disbelief.
Not only Star-Lord, but the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy also looked at Ego in surprise, and then turned their eyes to Star-Lord. They could understand that Star-Lord's father was not a normal life. After all, there was only Ego on this planet, which also showed Ego's extraordinaryness, but Ego was actually a brain, which was really unexpected for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"Yes, this is my core." Ego nodded in response.
"But, you are a brain, my mother is... and her mother... you... uh..." Star-Lord seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak. He looked at Ego and scratched his head for a while, but didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, listen to me." Ego smiled and shook his head, and continued to explain, "I was suspended in the universe. I don't know how long it took, but I had the ability to control the molecules around me. I became smarter and stronger. Finally, I kept absorbing all the substances to protect myself, wrapping me up layer by layer, and finally built the planet under your feet now."
"You are this planet?!" Star-Lord not only did not get out of the state of shock at this time, but he couldn't accept it even more.
Well, whether his father is a brain or a planet, this is not something that normal people can accept. After all, Star-Lord originally thought that he was a human being, but now it seems that his bloodline is impure and a little scary!
"No wonder you said this is your planet, my goodness, it turns out that this is you!" Rocket Raccoon didn't argue again at this time, after all, this result is indeed a bit shocking.
"Yes, this is me, I am this planet, but I spent countless years to build it into its current appearance, but I am not satisfied. I began to think about the meaning of my existence. I want to know if there are other lives in the universe besides me..." Ego nodded, and his expression gradually became excited.
"Because I have not seen even one life in countless years, I began to doubt whether I am the only life in the universe!"
"Indeed, when knowledge or civilization reaches a certain level, life will indeed think about these issues. After all, although there are many lives in the universe, it is not so easy to meet them..." Rocket Raccoon said with some sighs.
"Yes, I think there must be other lives in the universe, so I am determined to find other lives, and according to the appearance of intelligent life in my imagination, I built my body, including the smallest details!" Ego stretched out his hand to show a new image, and an Ego constructed by energy body appeared in front of everyone.
"Then have you built the second one?" At this time, Drax on the side asked calmly.
"No, buddy!" Star-Lord's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Drax speechlessly for a while. He didn't expect Drax to interrupt at this time and ask such an embarrassing question.
"What's wrong with you that you can ask such a question?" Gamora on the side also looked at Drax speechlessly and asked.
"If he didn't have a second child but a planet, how did he and your mother give birth to you? He would have crushed her..." Drax began to analyze seriously.
"No, I don't want to listen to my parents..." Star-Lord looked at Drax and said, and suddenly he was speechless, because this kind of thing was indeed a bit too embarrassing.
"Yes, Drax, I have a second child, I made it." Ego didn't feel embarrassed at all. He looked at Drax and said with a smile.
"Haha! Thank you." Drax laughed proudly, as if he was praising his own intelligence.
"And it's not bad!" Ego didn't feel embarrassed at all. He continued to point at his body and said, "I still have pain, a digestive system, and everything that comes with them. I want to be a real human and experience what it feels like to be a human."
"So I began to explore the stars and the secrets of life until I met the first life and knew that I was not alone in this universe..."
"Well, when did you meet my mother?" Ego's voice became a little sad when he said this, but Star-Lord listened to Ego's story for a long time without mentioning his mother. He felt that his mother didn't seem to be that important, just like a passer-by in Ego's life, which made Star-Lord couldn't help asking.
"Not long after." Ego turned his head and looked at Star-Lord and said, "Not long after, I met your mother, who made me believe what love at first sight is, and you are the fruit of our love..."
"In that case, why did you leave her?" Star-Lord stared into Ego's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"..."Ego opened his mouth, and the guilt in his expression became more obvious.
"Let's leave this place to you. Some of the things we heard may not be good." Gamora stood up at this time, pulled Nebula and spoke to Star-Lord and Ego, and quickly gave Rocket Raccoon a look. Rocket Raccoon hesitated for a moment, and still let the tree man Groot pull Drax away from here.
"You should go out too, walk around with them and introduce this planet." After watching Gamora and others go out, Ego looked at Mantis and said.
"Okay." Mantis responded and turned around and left here, leaving only Star-Lord and Ego.
"I'll take you to a place." Ego waited until everyone left, said something to Star-Lord and led the way in front. The two came to a garden. There was a statue in the center of the garden. Star-Lord recognized it as his mother at a glance.
"If you love her so much, why did you abandon her?" Star-Lord couldn't hold back his emotions when looking at his mother's statue. He stared at Ego and said in a deep voice, "My mother told everyone that my father was from the stars, but no one believed her because she had a brain tumor, so everyone thought she was delusional..."
"I really want to believe it all, believe that you really love her so much, but you abandoned the best woman in the world and let her die alone when she needed you the most!"
"I don't want to leave your mother, Peter. If I don't return to this planet regularly and come into contact with the light inside, this human figure will degenerate and disappear..." Ego also explained excitedly.
"Then why don't you come back? Why did you ask Yondu to pick me up? Why did you ask a predator to pick me up?" Star-Lord clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice.
"I love your mother! But after that, I learned about your mother's death. I can't bear to go to an earth without her!" Ego roared excitedly, "You can't imagine what that feels like!"
"I know very well what that feels like. If it weren't for the damn Chitauri who wanted to invade the earth before, I wouldn't have gone back at all! I had to watch her die!" Star-Lord also roared, making Ego gradually calm down.
"I have made many mistakes over the past thousands of years, but you are definitely not my fault. Please give me a chance. She will hope that I will be a good father." Ego sighed lightly and looked into Star-Lord's eyes and said seriously.
"About this planet, about the light inside, I have a lot to tell you, that is all part of you, Peter, your nickname is wrong, Star-Lord, you are not a knight, you are the crown prince of the planet, you are a god!"
"What?" Originally, when Star-Lord heard that his mother hoped that Ego would be a good father, he had calmed down and decided to give Ego a chance, but when he heard what Ego said later, Star-Lord became confused again.
"Give me your hand and feel it well." Ego took Star-Lord's hand and let him open his hands. At the same time, he continued to guide, "Close your eyes, concentrate, and let your thoughts enter the interior of this planet..."
"Buzz!" With a sound, when Star-Lord acted according to Ego's instructions, a blue light instantly emitted from his hands.
"Great! I knew it!" Ego shouted excitedly, startling the concentrating Star-Lord, and the light in his hand disappeared.
"It's okay, relax Peter, concentrate, you can do it!" Ego was very excited at this time, so excited that Star-Lord was a little scared, but when he felt the energy surging in his body, Star-Lord had no time to think about these things, he began to immerse himself in the powerful energy contained in his body.
"Buzz!" The next moment, Star-Lord once again condensed that energy in his hand, and he seemed to have really mastered a new ability... (End of this chapter)
