"You have to calm down first, throw away all the doubts and worries in your heart... Empty yourself, understand?"

On the magnificent square of Star of Eagle, the sun is shining warmly on the ground. Under the sculpture of a woman holding a flower basket, the planetary life Eagle and his son are sitting on the ground face to face. Eagle is teaching Quill how to awaken his body. Power inside.

"Listen to me, boy!"

Ego's figure became illusory at this moment, and when he reappeared, he was already standing behind Quill, he bent over and pressed Quill's shoulder, and whispered in his ear:

"The planet under your feet is me. My power is the source of your power. Feel it and blend your spirit with it. In theory, you can feel it in every corner of the universe. To its existence, but here, you can feel it more easily, right under your feet..."

Igo's voice became softer and softer:

"You have to "see" it, feel it, feel the beating of every trace of its power, and outline your brain of wisdom. This will be a long process, but it doesn't matter, we have enough time... When you finish it, I will find a suitable planet for you, complete the first seeding, and wait until you slowly grow up..."

A trace of desire flashed in Eagle's eyes, and his voice was softer:

"When you grow up, we will be able to pick up your mother... Come on! For your mother!"

"bass"

A milky white arc jumped on Quill's arm, and then the next one. Soon, his arms seemed to be entangled with milky white light, and this scene made Ego's eyes jump with satisfaction.

He turned his head and looked at the sculpture of the woman next to him. There was a flowing gentleness in his eyes, but under the gentleness, there was a touch of arrogance and coldness:

"Thank you, my love, you have left me the best legacy...I will use him well..."

Igo quietly disappeared in place. When he reappeared, he was already standing inside his golden and magnificent temple. He was sitting on the throne, his eyes closed, and Mantis, who had tentacles like animal tentacles, walked quickly from The inner hall came out and skillfully placed his hands on Yigo's forehead.

As a planetary creature, the concept of deep sleep does not exist. However, because Yigo wants to maintain the stability of the outer shell of the planet that protects his intelligent brain, his consciousness must return to the intelligent brain to perform necessary tasks. "rest".

But he can't sleep himself, he must rely on outside help, which is why Mantis will appear next to him, the race of Mantis has been extinct, only her larva is left, and this race is proficient Mind control, relying on Mantis's ability, Igo can really fall asleep.

And this time, before he fell asleep, he whispered:

"Go and get rid of those things in the abyss...before my son finds them!"

A touch of uncontrollable fear emerged on Mantis's beautiful face, but she still bit her lip and nodded. Seeing the god-like Igo fell into the deepest sleep, Mantis quickly left the temple. , She looked at Quill meditating on the square. She seemed to want to tell him something, but in the end, she turned her head and entered the abyss within the shell of this planet from an undiscovered secret passage.

Every time I came here, it was an unbearable torture for Mantis who was just a larva.

In the past 100 years, every time after Igo confirmed that one of his children did not have the blood of the gods, he would not hesitate to abandon him, and Mantis sent those children into the abyss and let them live on their own. Self-destruct.

Before Mantis arrived, there were actually too many corpses piled up here. Yongdu was not the first interstellar pirate hired by Ego, nor would he be the last.

Mantis walked into the abyss step by step along the dark passage. She covered her eyes in horror, as if she didn't want to let herself see the horrible picture in front of her. To be honest, this larva who has followed Igo for more than 100 years is actually Sometimes it is very simple.

And in front of Mantis, it was enough to make anyone with a heart of stone feel the horror from the bottom of his heart.

Skeletons...Various types of skeletons, humanoids, humanoids, and non-humanoids. Almost all types of creatures in this universe are included. Judging from their distorted shapes, these lives have suffered before they die. The most terrible pain, their bones piled together, like a mountain.

And the roots of the plants that spread down from the bottom shell pierced into the skeletons, absorbing their last nutrients, yes...under Ego’s heaven, it was supported by a desperate hell. I don't know if Quill would vomit out disgustingly if he knew the truth. The fruits he liked most these days were all produced by the fruit trees that drew the bones of dead people.

This is why the larva Mantis never eats the food on this planet... She is afraid that when she dreams, she will be dragged into the most terrible hell, but she can’t escape. As a larva, Her power is too weak, and Yigo only needs a little thought to kill her.

"Don't blame me... poor children."

Mantis used a black cloth strip to cover his eyes. While manipulating the earth element monsters derived from the rocks, he smashed the corpses into dust, and whispered to the bones:

"I was also forced... I want to save you too, I'm sorry... I'm sorry!"

She was crying in her voice. Obviously, this job was also a torture for her. When she smelled the decayed smell, she couldn't help taking a few steps back, but when she stood firm, she felt cold The arrow hit her neck, and a low voice emerged from the darkness, also at the same moment, sounded behind her:

"Don't move, sweet girl!"

Two hours later, Quill’s seventh meditation ended. He opened his eyes and looked at the milky white light jumping in his hands. It felt very interesting. He stood up, learned the way Saibo was in his memory, and raised his left hand. The milky light, according to his will, jumped quickly in his hands, forming a wasteland-style shotgun. Quill panted a few steps back and ran forward, at the moment he stopped. , He threw the gun in his hand.

"Swish"

The milky white light is like a sharp arrow flying out of the bowstring, passing through the obstacles of the air, and accurately piercing the center of the rock carving 500 meters away, destroying the exquisite stone carving, exploding, and breaking the stone. It is more powerful than he is often The elemental gun used is much stronger.

"Wow! Cool!"

Quill shook his fist in excitement. He finally has his own "flaming dragon gun". Every time he sees Cyber ​​using it, he feels very handsome. Now he is like a kid who has got a new toy. Looked at the light in his hand.

"Master Quill?"

A soft voice interrupted Quill's boundless associations. He turned his head and saw Mantis, whose hands were folded on his abdomen, who looked very well-behaved. The latter's face was pale and seemed uncomfortable.

Quill the gentleman asked quietly:

"Mantis, you should go to rest... are you sick?"

Larva Mantis showed the iconic hesitation on her face. She bit her lip, and her fingers were beating back and forth. Obviously, she was still afraid of the consequences of violating Igo’s will, but at the same time, she and Quill’s Getting along also made Mantis feel the kindness in the heart of this prodigal son who is always talking. He is more peaceful than anyone before. He treats her as a real friend instead of Ego's pets and servants.

The metal blow arrow behind her felt Mantis's resistance. Under the control of a certain will, it pierced forward a little bit, feeling the cold touch from the skin behind her, and the larva bite. He gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Please follow me, I have to show you some things!"

After a while, Mantis's figure reappeared in the rift in the abyss. Behind him, Quill bit the apple he picked, and while eating, he asked in surprise:

"I thought Ego had built palaces everywhere on its planet. I didn't expect there to be... Waterfak! This TM... this is..."

As soon as Quill walked out of the stairs, he saw the pile of horrible bones. Without much explanation from Mantis, he noticed the roots of the trees pierced into the bones. He subconsciously looked at the apple in his hand. , The next moment, he threw the apple that had taken several bites on the ground, like a poisonous snake.

"vomit!"

Reminiscing that he has been eating this kind of food these days, Quill rushed to the corner next to him and began to vomit, vomiting almost everything in his stomach, and when he got up, one hand reached him In front of him, handed him a tissue.

Quill didn't think much, took the tissue and wiped his mouth:

"Thank you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned. He held a tissue in his hand and looked back slowly. He saw Yongdu sitting on a rock and smoking a cigar, standing on the side with his arms. Hum, and Kamora hidden in the darkness, finally half-kneeled on the ground, touching the skeletal Grout with a sad face, and the Rocket Raccoon sitting on his shoulders.

The tissue just now was handed to him by Yongdu.

"You...you..."

Quill didn't know what to say for a while, and he subconsciously looked back at the skeletons behind him. He stared at Mantis with a flash of anger on his face:

"What the hell is going on! Tell me!"

Mantis was so frightened by the furious Quill that he backed away again and again, speechless, and even frightened to cry, until he was held in his arms by Kamora, the timid larva hiding in Kamora's arms shivered. And Kamora, the most dangerous woman in the universe, looked at Quill with disdain:

"Only an idiot like you can be fooled by a hypocrite like Ego... the overlord asked us to take you back. Your universe adventure is over!"

And Yongdu walked forward with a face of indifference. He squatted beside the pile of bones. He picked up a worm-man bone in his hand, turned and shook it to Quill:

"This guy...I remember very clearly, it was the "Son of God" who was sent before you. I personally sent him to this planet..."

On Yongdu's blue skin, his expression became a little sad, he threw the bones on the mountain of bones, and he looked at Quill:

"I have done a lot in my life. I don't think I'm a good person, Quill, but my brothers and I are really saving you!"

"But you taught me to steal things!"

Quill couldn't accept everything in front of him for a while. The bad species he thought was saving him, but the father he had just accepted was a monster.

"If we are killed by Ego, you will have to learn to live alone."

Yongdu snorted, "Who do you think the ultra-small aircraft in that spacecraft is for? Tell me, Quill, an 8-year-old kid, wants to survive in the universe, except for praying to meet kindness. Apart from people, how can he survive except stealing things?"

"But you still threatened me... I didn't do well and just ate me!"

Quill retorted, mentioning this, Yongdu laughed:

"That's just for fun... I'm not a barbarian, have you seen me eat people?"

"So you have been lying to me!"

Quill hugged his head and screamed: "You know Igo is a monster, why don't you tell me!"

Yongdu hesitated for a while and did not answer this question, while the rocket raccoon flapped the bat wings and hovered in the air, saying loudly:

"Guys, it's time to go! Igo will wake up at any time!"

Yongdu shrugged, stepped forward, and patted Quill on the shoulder:

"Come on, boy, it's time to go home."

"What about her?"

Camora looked at Mantis hiding in her arms. She turned to look at Yongdu, who looked at Mantis’s horrified eyes, and he sighed:

"Take her, she can force Yigo to sleep, if things don't go well, we still need her to help!"

Ten minutes later, Yongdu's spacecraft soared into the sky and quickly rushed into the sky of Star Eagle. In the driver's seat, Yongdu turned his head and looked at Quill who was silent beside him, and he whispered:

"What's the matter? You look like you have been rounded by a dozen Peaks."

"It's nothing."

Quill shook his head. He turned his head and glanced at the Ego star, which was getting farther and farther away. He whispered: "I just, I just think I'm a bit too stupid, I will...speed up!!!"

Quill's voice became sharp and horrified at this moment, and Yongdu glanced back. Behind his back, the surface of the planet began to swell crazily, and in an instant it turned into a planet-large face. That was Igo. s face.

A deep voice sounded in this silent universe, almost deafening. What's more, more than a dozen milky white light bands full of destruction swayed wildly between the stars, like a poisonous snake rushing toward their spacecraft. After coming over, the planets along the way were easily penetrated and destroyed, just like the end of the universe.

"Oh, my dear child Quill... Where are you going? Are you leaving your poor father?"

"Hey... come back! I can assume that nothing has happened..."
