Chapter 689: The Avengers Leaving Earth (Second Update)
Chapter 689: The Avengers Leaving Earth (Second Update)
"You know, all men want to be strong and powerful."
As a seasoned flirt, Star-Lord knew how important "strength" was to men.
While first impressions between men and women often depend on appearance, the happiness of a marriage largely hinges on a man's strength and capability.
Faced with the always dominant Gamora, Star-Lord naturally hoped to be strong in other aspects as well.
Upon hearing this, Jerry did not immediately agree to Star-Lord's request. Instead, he patted Star-Lord's shoulder and said:
"Quill, when Ego talked to you before, he must have explained the nature of Celestial Power, right?"
"Ego did mention the nature of Celestial Power, but what does that have to do with this now?"
Star-Lord was still confused.
Jerry leaned in closer and whispered:
"Ego can use Celestial Power to create bodies and planets. Naturally, he can also use it to alter the size and strength of his body's organs.
And you, possessing the same source of Celestial Power as Ego, can achieve this on your own if you wish:
You can be as big and as strong as you want!
Even if Gamora is willing, you can use Celestial Power to make certain changes to her body to some extent.
So, it's best to spend more time studying the Celestial Power within you. Understand?"
Although Jerry had erased Ego's soul, he retained Ego's planet and Ego's Celestial Power. Therefore, the Celestial Power within Star-Lord would not disappear.
What Jerry had just told Star-Lord was indeed true, but achieving that level of control would take time and effort. Unless Star-Lord put in the necessary work, it wouldn't happen quickly.
Jerry hoped this would motivate Star-Lord to focus more on mastering his Celestial Power. In the future, Star-Lord would lead the Guardians of the Galaxy on adventures in space, facing various unknown dangers. Mastering Celestial Power would enhance his ability to protect himself and others, which was only beneficial.
Hearing Jerry's words, Star-Lord's eyes lit up like two light bulbs, and he glanced at Gamora's chest with a somewhat lecherous expression.
Gamora, who was comforting Nebula, twitched her ears slightly. For some reason, a peculiar expression appeared on her green-skinned face.
With that, Star-Lord no longer asked Jerry for help and left the room with the others.
Since he could solve this problem on his own, it was best to do so. It wouldn't be awkward, and he could do it whenever he wanted. It was perfect, and he couldn't wait to get back to his room to study his Celestial Power.
...
"Quill, why are you standing there? Didn't we agree to go downstairs to the bar for a drink?"
At the door of Jerry's room, Drax, standing beside Rocket and Groot, looked at Star-Lord, who had stopped moving, with confusion.
Earlier, while they were going upstairs, they had noticed that the fifth floor of this luxurious hotel in the Wasteland was a comprehensive entertainment venue combining gambling, bars, and beast fights.
At the time, Star-Lord had suggested they all go down and have a good time once they were done, since they were spending Divan's money.
"Um, I think I should go back to my room and familiarize myself more with the Celestial Power I recently obtained. This way, I can be more effective when we face Thanos.
So, I won't be going. You guys go have fun!"
Star-Lord replied insincerely, then waved and turned to run back to his room.
He felt that his relationship with Gamora was close to the final step, and there might be a significant breakthrough in the next few days.
With his years of experience in dating, the day Thanos was killed might also be the day he and Gamora consummated their relationship.
Like Nebula, Thanos was one of the most terrifying presences in Gamora's life, but she had avoided physical alterations because Thanos had favored her.
When Thanos is killed, the mental shackles on Gamora will be released. At that time, as long as he doesn’t mess up, everything will fall into place.
Therefore, he needs to accelerate the process of familiarizing himself with the Celestial Power within his body. He aims to strengthen himself with the Celestial Power before that moment, to establish the self-respect a man should have from the very beginning. This is crucial!
Seeing Star-Lord dash back to his room, everyone present, except for Gamora, wondered if they were hallucinating.
Star-Lord, preparing for the battle with Thanos by retreating to his room to work hard? He has always believed that having no plan is the best plan, and his greatest confidence lies in his ability to adapt on the spot.
This is simply too out of character for Star-Lord.
“He’s definitely not Quill; he must have been swapped out!”
Drax pointed at Star-Lord’s retreating figure with certainty.
“I am Groot!”
Groot pointed at Jerry’s room.
Rocket jumped onto Groot’s shoulders and laughed heartily.
“Groot is right. With Jerry around, Quill couldn’t have been swapped out. I think he might have called for some special service and doesn’t want us to know. Gamora, I suggest you check it out later.”
“What he does with services has nothing to do with me. Nebula, Mantis, let’s go to the rooftop. I heard there’s a nice simulated beach up there.”
Gamora snorted and led the newly revived Nebula and Mantis to the elevator to the rooftop.
In fact, she had noticed earlier in the room that Star-Lord was whispering to Jerry. She didn’t hear everything, but she got the gist of it.
So she already knew why Star-Lord was so determined to go back and familiarize himself with the Celestial Power. But she couldn’t say it out loud in front of everyone.
“Alright, let’s go get a drink!”
Rocket, Drax, and Groot also got into the elevator and headed to the fifth floor.
Outside, Jerry in the room heard everything clearly. He smiled, shook his head, and waved to open a portal to Earth.
Unlike Rocket and the others who could relax, he had to return to Earth to gather all the Avengers and bring them to the Wasteland.
It wasn’t that he expected them to handle Thanos and his army in a couple of days. He just wanted them to get used to the environment early and make a grand appearance in front of the cosmic public.
The Wasteland would be the future base of the Avengers in the universe, and they needed to manage it.
If they all remained unknown, they would likely face trouble from other cosmic forces after Jerry left.
Thanos and his cosmic army were nothing to the current Jerry, so his main role would be to oversee and wrap things up at the end.
In the early stages, he wanted the Avengers to showcase their individual strengths to let the major cosmic forces know that Earth has a powerful organization called the Avengers.
Not only did they defeat Thanos, but they also acquired the Wasteland, and the Scarlet Witch is a member as well.
Only then could he ensure that nothing would go wrong here even when he goes to other universes to collect the laws.
The next morning, a portal appeared again in Jerry’s room.
Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Mahjong Girl, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, War Machine, and Black Widow, among others, appeared one by one in the room.
Finally, Jerry closed the portal and smiled at everyone.
“Welcome to the largest black market in the universe, and the future base of the Avengers in the cosmos, the Wasteland!”
