Chapter 680: Celestial Star-Lord (First Update)
Chapter 680: Celestial Star-Lord (First Update)
Amidst laughter and joy, Igo's spaceship finally landed on a planet roughly the size of the moon.
"Beautiful!"
As they entered the planet, the same thought rose in everyone's mind.
Green mountains, clear waters, waterfalls, and countless vibrant, unknown flowers and plants. Floating in the air were colorful bubbles and six-eyed flying fish, along with various beautiful buildings in different planetary cultural styles.
If one word had to describe what everyone saw, "paradise" would be the most fitting.
"Welcome to my world!"
Igo waved his hand, and part of the spaceship transformed into a magnificent ladder, carrying everyone toward the grandest and most splendid palace at the center of the planet.
"I want this planet!"
Feeling the immense power within the planet, Jerry nodded in satisfaction.
He could create continents, plants, and even life forms, including humans, in his Ring World, but he couldn't make an entire planet as beautiful as paradise like Igo did.
This was not only because Igo specialized in the creative aspect of Celestial Power but also because Igo had traveled to countless planets and witnessed numerous civilizations.
However, it didn't matter. If he couldn't create such a beautiful planet, he could simply move it to his Ring World, where it would serve as a true moon.
With the Eternal Flame as the sun and Igo's planet as the moon, along with the Dark Energy absorbed from Dormammu, the energy of the Ring World was basically complete.
"You can destroy over a hundred spaceships with your bare hands and own an entire planet. Who are you?"
Faced with this fantastical beauty, Gamora, who had seen much with Thanos, did not get lost in the scenery like Drax and the others. Instead, she asked Igo with some caution.
Trained by Thanos from a young age as a super intergalactic spy and assassin, Gamora had her own judgment about Igo's powerful abilities.
"I am a member of the Celestial Race. I awoke millions of years ago, alone and drifting in the universe. I gradually mastered the ability to control molecules, known as Celestial Power, which is the force that destroyed those spaceships.
Over these millions of years, I have become increasingly wise and powerful, eventually evolving into my current form.
The planet you stand on is my body. The form you see before you is just a temporary physical creation."
After leading everyone into the palace, Igo waved his hand to create a virtual image, showing the entire process of his birth and growth.
However, he did not mention his interactions with different races on various planets or his ambitions and plans.
"My father is actually a planet!"
Star-Lord was utterly stunned.
"How did he and your mother have you? Your mother would have been crushed!"
Drax looked at Star-Lord with his wise eyes.
Before Star-Lord could protest, Rocket had already started berating Drax:
"You idiot, didn't you hear him say he can create avatars? Of course, he used an avatar. If his true form had gone, not only would Quill's mother have been crushed, but the entire Earth would have been crushed!"
"Enough! I don't want to discuss whether or not my mom would be crushed!"
Star-Lord turned and roared at his two unreliable teammates.
Igo, however, paid no attention to Drax and Rocket's conversation, smiling as he explained:
"Yes, when I went to Earth, I also used an avatar, but I added reproductive organs similar to those of Earth humans. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to father Quill.
Alright, Mantis, take them to their quarters. Quill, stay here. I want to talk to you alone."
"Is it time to begin?"
Jerry, who had been blending into the background, knew that this was the moment Igo would activate Star-Lord's Celestial Power.
Once Star-Lord's Celestial Power was activated, he would no longer be an ordinary human but a Celestial Race member with power approaching the Primordial Level.
In this mission to deal with Igo, Star-Lord would play a crucial role.
While an activated Star-Lord would still be at a disadvantage against Igo, the fact that their powers were of the same origin meant that with enough effort, Star-Lord could significantly distract Igo, preventing him from using his full strength.
"Please follow me, I'll show you to your quarters!"
Mantis, naturally obedient to Igo, led Jerry and the others away from the palace to a separate building constructed nearby.
"Mantis, how did you end up on this planet?"
On the way, the ever-vigilant Gamora asked Mantis.
Mantis's eyes darkened:
"When I was still a larva, Igo found me and raised me as his own."
Jerry, overhearing this, knew that Mantis wasn't telling the whole truth.
Mantis was actually Igo's daughter, Star-Lord's half-sister, and had been brought to Igo's planet along with countless other children from various worlds.
She had witnessed Igo kill all the other children, and the only reason he spared her was that, while she didn't inherit Igo's Celestial Power, her maternal race's abilities were significantly enhanced, allowing her to help Igo sleep.
She was also the only one, besides Igo himself, who knew about his plan to assimilate all planets.
But now, out of fear of Igo, she dared not reveal this secret to them.
Mantis was the second most important person in this mission after Star-Lord. Her full abilities could put Igo into a brief sleep, providing the best opportunity for Jerry to deal with Igo effortlessly.
However, Jerry didn't need to worry about winning Mantis over; Drax would handle it well.
Surprisingly, Drax and Mantis got along very well.
"So, Igo treated you like a pet!"
Drax bluntly interjected.
Mantis shrugged:
"Maybe!"
"But people usually keep cute things as pets. Why would Igo choose someone as ugly as you?"
Drax looked genuinely puzzled.
"Do I really look that ugly?"
Mantis's antennae drooped, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
"Yes, you're shockingly ugly!"
Drax's tone was entirely sincere.
