Laura's Beautiful Journey

Chapter 512 Where is Dad?

"Son, we are the gods of the universe, the earliest race of advanced life in the universe, the creators and maintainers of order of all things in the universe!"

Egg affectionately put his arm around Star-Lord's shoulders and introduced him to the history of the so-called gods as he walked. He didn't realize that Laura, who had become invisible, was following behind the two of them at some point.

"The planet under your feet was built by me, bit by bit, over thousands of years. And you inherited my bloodline and also have the ability to create a planet."

In order to show that what he said was true, Egg stretched out his right arm and raised it slightly towards the open space in front of him.

Following his movements, a small sapling broke out of the originally empty ground, and began to grow rapidly under the stimulation of the white energy released by Egg. It grew into a tree in less than two seconds. A towering tree about five meters high.

"Create a planet...can I do that too?"

Star-Lord was shocked by Egg's methods. He murmured to himself, and his eyes slowly and stiffly turned from the tall tree rising from the ground back to his hands.

Before today, he thought he was just an unlucky Earth child kidnapped by Yondu. He likes to listen to the classic old songs from the earth given to him by his mother, has great vehicle driving skills and decent gun shooting ability, likes to cause trouble everywhere, and likes beauties of different races. Everything seems to be the same as a typical The big boys in America are pretty much the same.

But now what Ego said and the means of "creating life" he demonstrated have completely subverted Star-Lord's world view.

Laura, who was following the father and son invisibly, naturally heard it clearly, especially the part about creating a tree out of thin air, which made her roll her eyes.

This tree is normal in appearance and growth process, but in Laura's perception of life, this thing is not an independent plant life at all. In essence, it should be regarded as another clone created by Egg on the spot, but through Special means simulate the appearance of the tree and the process of branch growth.

To put it bluntly, Egg's hand operation is just a simulation, and it is far from a real creation of life. His so-called "cosmic god" is a bit wet. It's no wonder that other true cosmic gods rub the planet with their hands. , and it took Ego thousands of years to barely build such a "body". The gap in strength level between the two cannot be said to be small, but it is as big as the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.

However, the energy used by Ego when "making trees" has many similarities with the Eradicator God that Laura has seen, but there is a difference in the purity of the energy.

After thinking for a moment, Laura came to a guess, that is, this guy Egg is probably a cosmic god who was born with stunted development.

"Why haven't you returned to Earth to see my mother for so many years?"

I have to say that Star-Lord's ability to digest thoughts is quite strong. He quickly accepted his father's identity as a cosmic god who created the world, and then he asked a question that had troubled him for many years.

Hearing this question, Egg's face that had always maintained a kind smile suddenly froze.

"Meredith..."

After a while, Egg opened his eyes in pain, and with a trembling voice, he said the name that he had deliberately avoided for many years.

"Yes, Meredith Quill, my mother, she didn't get to see you for the last time until she died, and I couldn't either..."

The excited Star-Lord's eyes were already red.

"You are the God of the Universe! A small cancer should be easily solved in your hands, right?"

The father and son were face to face at this time. Star-Lord could see that Egg's pain was not fake, but he still couldn't understand why there was no news from Egg after leaving without saying goodbye.

Star-Lord hated Ego's inaction, and also hated himself for not being able to muster the courage at the last moment before his mother's life ended, to step forward and hold her mother's outstretched hand.

"Your mother is the only woman I have ever loved in my extremely long life."

Hearing this, Laura, who was invisible and eavesdropping, rolled her eyes again and thought:

Yes, Meredith is the only woman you have ever loved. The others are just tools for you, the super stallion in the universe, to vent your desires and conduct life experiments.

And the only woman on earth you fell in love with did not achieve long-term happiness like the heroine in the romance movie. Instead, she had to endure the torment of her lover leaving without saying goodbye, the hardship of raising a child alone, and the torment of illness in the last stage of her life. How can it be such a miserable word? Remarkable.

“There’saportonawesternbay (a harbor in the west),

Anditservesahundredshipsaday, (where the ships never stop day and night),

Lonely sailors pass the time away~ (Lonely sailors pass the time away)"

Regarding Star-Lord's question with a questioning tone, Ego did not answer directly. Instead, he sang the Looking Glass band's classic single "Brandy (You'rea Fine Girl)" with a nostalgic look on his face.

Star-Lord was a little confused, but he was infected by the atmosphere and gradually began to hum along with this old song from Earth.

“Brandyyou’reafinegirl“

(Brandy, you are such a good girl)

“Whatagoodwifeyouwouldbe“

(She will be a better wife in the future)

“Butmylifemylovermyladyisthesea~“

(But the love of my life is this sea.)

After singing this song, the father and son stood quietly without saying a word. Egg seemed to be lost in beautiful memories, while Star-Lord was patiently waiting for an answer.

Laura, who had been invisible, raised her head and glanced at the sky. She sensed an extremely obscure spatial fluctuation.

"Son, there is no doubt that I love your mother deeply."

Finally, Egg, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.

"But I am a cosmic god, tasked with creating and balancing everything in the universe! For this reason, I have to make up my mind to leave the earth, your mother, and you."

After listening to Egg's tearful story, Star-Lord let out a long sigh. He could already understand his father's difficulties.

Behind the two of them, Laura was almost unable to complain. What Yi Ge said was just to put gold on her face. Laura really wanted to show up and ask him:

Does Alitham (Judge of the God Group) know that you are so stupid? Does Exitar know? Does OAA (leader of the Tenjin group) know?

"Child, you have my bloodline, so in principle, you also have the ability to create things and the corresponding responsibilities for maintaining the normal development of the universe. So, are you willing to help me transform this world?"

Egg's tone was calm and gentle.

"I...I don't know...I don't know..."

Star-Lord was a little incoherent. After so many years, he had never discovered anything strange about himself, nor had he awakened any superpowers.

"Don't worry, I will guide you to awaken the creative power of God in your body, and then teach you how to use this energy."

"Okay... okay."

Star-Lord felt uneasy. He was not sure whether he could awaken this so-called power of the gods, so he could only nodded blankly.

Laura, who was secretly observing, noticed that Egg was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. It seemed that the bad old man was not sure whether Star-Lord could awaken.

Egg's palm on Star-Lord's shoulder was trembling slightly. This was not because of how difficult it was to convert his energy into Star-Lord's body, but because he couldn't suppress the various complexities that kept popping up in his heart. Emotional.

After so many years of planning and spreading so many seeds of life, none of the fruits produced could inherit his bloodline. To be honest, Egg was very desperate.

As a cosmic god, even if he is a god born with stunted growth, Egg has a long life almost equal to that of the universe.

Therefore, what he is afraid of is not waiting, what he is afraid of is hopeless waiting, what he is afraid of is that he will be a cripple like now!

Egg didn't lie to Star-Lord just now. Meredith was indeed the only female he had ever felt "love" with.

Unfortunately, the lives of people on Earth are too short and their thoughts are too limited. In the eyes of Ego, they are like mayflies that live and die, and it is impossible to understand his great vision.

Now Egg only hopes that the fruit he obtained through Meredith can successfully awaken the power of the gods, otherwise... it will only be reduced to a failure case recorded by anatomy, and then continue with the next step of the sowing plan.

"This...this...I succeeded?"

Egg's messy thoughts were brought back to reality by Star-Lord's words with an uncertain tone, and then his eyes were fixed on the small group of faint white light in the center of Star-Lord's palm.

At this moment, all of Egg's negative emotions were swept away, followed by an overwhelming feeling of ecstasy.

"Hahahahaha! Good! As expected of my son!"

The emotional Ego suddenly patted Star-Lord on the shoulder, which caused the small ball of energy in the palm of Star-Lord's newly awakened ability to disperse.

The father and son looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

"Tsk, what did Eternal God add when he created humans? Isn't this compatibility too strong?"

Although it has long been known that Star-Lord will definitely be able to awaken his abilities according to the settings in the MCU, Laura, who witnessed this scene in person, still couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Take your time, don't be in a hurry! Calm down and recall the process of energy transformation just now!"

Hearing Egg's reminder, Star-Lord nodded and closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on sensing that energy.

"Snapped!"

Not long after, Star-Lord opened his eyes, and a white energy ball that was slightly larger than before appeared again in the palm of his hand.

Star-Lord, who became obsessed with hunting, even learned the preliminary control without any teacher. According to his own opinions and ideas, he condensed the energy in the palm of his hand to create a three-dimensional Pac-Man the size of a baseball, and then shouted happily:

"Hahaha! I really succeeded!"

Egg was even more excited than Star-Lord. After so many years, he met hope when he was about to despair. He finally didn’t have to wander around the universe and genetically mix with those weird species for thousands of years. Egg's joy at finally seeing the light of his plan was beyond words.

But Star-Lord mistakenly thought that he was a father who was sincerely happy for his son's success, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Egg.

"Kid! Well done! Working together, father and son, we can definitely complete the mission given to us by the universe!"

Egg, who was equally happy and excited, opened his arms and responded to Star-Lord's hug.

Seeing this scene, Laura, who was observing secretly, was wondering when she should jump out and break the false and beautiful portrait in front of her.

Just as she was about to take action, an extremely sudden whistle sounded.

"call out!"

At the same time, a whistle arrow, covered and driven by the whistle, struck the back of Egg's head from an extremely tricky angle.

"Pfft!"

The extremely sharp whistle arrow penetrated Ego's head effortlessly, giving the old man a physical brain-opening, and then hovered in front of the tip of Star-Lord's nose.

The incident happened so suddenly that Star-Lord didn't react at all, and Egg's "corpse" fell in front of him.

"Yondu!!!"

Seeing the familiar dark red whistle arrow in front of him, Star-Lord trembled all over and let out a roar!

"call out!"

Amidst the clear whistle, the whistle arrow flew back and was firmly grasped by a blue-skinned hand.

Following the dark red trajectory of the sentry arrow, Star-Lord's eyes that seemed to choose and devour others were fixed on Yondu.

"why?!"

Star-Lord gritted his teeth and asked this sentence.

"Son, he may be your biological father, but he is definitely not the father you imagined."

"what!!!"

Star-Lord, who couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, couldn't listen to Yondu's words at all. He activated the thrusters on his feet and rushed in front of him and punched him.

Yondu was sent flying out by Star-Lord's angry punch. He flew for more than ten meters before rolling back to the ground.

Ignoring the severe pain on the right side of his cheek, Yondu struggled to get up, reached back with his right hand, touched a 10x10 small device on his lower back, and threw it towards Star-Lord who was flying towards him.

The furious Star-Lord still rushed over without hesitation. He raised his arm to ward off the incoming thing, but as soon as it came into contact with the device, it was quickly extended and trapped. In situ.

"This is the proud work of an old friend of mine. It is a limiter specially designed to capture superhuman interstellar criminals. It has never failed, but it will not cause harm to you."

Yondu reached out and casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth twice, and quickly walked to the trapped Star-Lord. Junqu Pavilion

Seeing that the helpless and furious Star-Lord was still struggling, Yondu squatted down, looked straight into Star-Lord's red eyes, and said with great seriousness:

"Listen! What I just killed was not Ego's body at all! It was just one of his human clones! If you don't believe it, look back now!"

Star-Lord looked at Yondu for a few seconds, and the panting Star-Lord finally chose to turn his head and look in the direction of Egg's body.

Turning around, Star-Lord just saw the scene where Ego's "corpse" gradually turned into balls of silver-white energy and was gradually absorbed by the pink earth beneath him.

"Is this...the energy I just awakened from?"

Star-Lord's views have once again undergone subtle changes.
