Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 374: Devour Ego and complete itself?
Lu Mingfei's room in the battleship.

Looking at his childish face in the mirror, Lu Mingfei reached out and pinched himself.

It hurts, it's not a dream.

Rubbing the red marks on his face, Lu Mingfei felt regretful in his heart - he should not have pinched so hard.

This is really weird. This is the Time Stone, not APTX4869. How did it turn into Conan?

Lu Mingfei looked at his face in the mirror. His features and eyebrows were very similar to his adult self, except that they were much more childish. However, he did not feel any sense of familiarity.

But it’s normal to think about it. Unless you often see your childhood photos, most adults will find it difficult to recognize their childhood photos when they suddenly see them. After all, who would have nothing better to do than look through their old photos all day?

What concerned him more was...

A sound of breaking wind was heard, and the small fist rolled up visible air ripples, which spread out in the air like water waves, and then dissipated into turbulent airflow that swept in all directions.

Although his body became smaller, his strength was not weakened at all. Strangely enough, even his physical fitness was not affected.

Although he was in the physical state of a little boy, his physique was no different from that of his adult years, and he even seemed to be more comfortable in sensing and mobilizing the elements.

Although it doesn't affect the strength, it's not a good thing to keep doing this.

Lu Mingfei frowned and tried to use the power of the Time Stone to change himself back, but soon discovered that the power of time that made him smaller seemed to be connected to some... indescribable part deeper in his body.

Yes, it's hard to describe.

Lu Mingfei didn't know how to describe the part connected to the power of time. It was an indescribable existence. If it wasn't connected to the power of time, Lu Mingfei felt that he would never have noticed it in his lifetime.

It is difficult to say what it is. It is not some kind of energy, but something completely without substance. The only thing that is certain is that it is not something foreign, but must be a part of himself.

Because of the connection with this part, the time force that turned him into Conan cannot be easily revoked.

Although it should be solved with more time, he would have to go find Ego next. Moreover, this state is very stable and does not affect his strength...

Lu Mingfei hesitated for only a short time before making a decisive decision. He turned and walked out of the bedroom, heading towards the battleship's main control room - to deal with Ego first, and then solve his own problems.

There's nothing wrong with this decision per se, just one thing that's not so great.

……

"hahahahahahahahahaha……"

In the battleship's main control room, Lu Mingfei sat expressionlessly on a raised chair, while Tony pointed at him and laughed unceremoniously.

Although Banner didn't make a sound, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

Only Lucifer on the big screen still had a respectful look on his face - although it was difficult to see an obvious expression on the mechanical dragon's face, its flattery was already beyond words.

When Lu Mingfei first appeared in the command room with the appearance of a little boy, Tony was shocked and thought that he had an accident while absorbing the time gem. Even though Lu Mingfei explained that he was fine, Tony still took him for a full check-up. This kind of concern from a friend made Lu Mingfei feel warm in his heart.

But after repeatedly checking and confirming that Lu Mingfei did not have any problems other than turning into a child, and that there were no injuries or side effects, Tony revealed his current ugly face.

Not only did he laugh at Lu Mingfei, he also called Banner to laugh at Lu Mingfei together.

When Dr. Banner arrived, he took Lu Mingfei for another physical examination. After confirming that he was fine, he revealed a strange expression as if he wanted to hold back his laughter but couldn't completely keep his mouth corners closed.

Lu Mingfei felt that after dealing with Ego, he had to solve his own problems as soon as possible, otherwise he would not want to return to Earth.

God knows what expressions Natasha or Wanda would have if they saw me like this.

"Send...OK!" Tony put the phone on the table with a smile.

"Send? Send what?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"Of course I'll send your photo. How can I not show everyone such a cute little boy?" Tony shrugged.

“Damn it! Where did you get the signal from in this space battleship?” Lu Mingfei, who was in the state of a little boy, widened his already big eyes.

“Guess how many satellites produced by Stark Group are in the Earth’s orbit? Are there any of these satellites that I have personally made some small technical upgrades to…” Tony was halfway through his words when his phone on the table vibrated, “Oh, Pepper replied. She said, 'What a cute little boy. He looks like Lu Mingfei. Is he his younger brother? Wait, what do you mean by this is Lu Mingfei...', hahahahahahahahaha…”

Tony laughed and slapped his thigh: "Ming Fei, how does it feel to be your own brother?"

Lu Mingfei's figure blurred for a moment, and when his figure became clear again, Tony's phone was already in his hand.

Sure enough, on the screen was the message Tony sent to Pepper, and Pepper's reply.

Lu Mingfei's face darkened and he crushed the phone with his little hands.

"The cell phone is innocent..." Tony complained, not feeling sorry at all.

He just silently used the snake's electric current to manipulate the battleship's central control, and wanted to use the battleship's built-in quantum computer to send the photos to Natasha - it is said that she often works overtime, and she should need some interesting photos to relieve her mood.

Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers.

The domain of the "snake" dissipated into nothingness.

Although "Snake" had evolved after Tony injected himself with the evolution potion again, Tony was too lazy to change its name so he continued to call it "Snake". However, this level of evolution was no different from an unevolved snake after Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, and it completely disappeared in an instant, so completely that Tony began to doubt for a moment whether his own spiritual power was gone.

"Don't think I don't know what you want to do!" Lu Mingfei said with a dark face.

Although in his current state, with a dark face, he has no deterrent effect at all.

Compared to Tony, he didn't know much about quantum computer technology, and he didn't know what Tony was going to do by using the "snake" to connect to the quantum computer, but it was definitely not a good thing, so he immediately interrupted Tony's words.

"Ahem," Tony said without any embarrassment, "Mingfei, are you ready? We are going to find Ego, and the life and death of the earth is in our hands!" "Heh..." Lu Mingfei sneered. The life and death of the earth is in our hands, does that mean you have to take the time to post embarrassing photos of me before you leave?
"Lucifer, activate the latest version of the space jump device," Tony said, "Don't use the crappy wormhole shuttle technology from before. The speed is not much faster than the space jump, and it puts more pressure on the body. This is the first time I get spaceship sickness in my life..."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the notification sound of Lucifer initiating the space jump - fortunately, he stopped Tony in time and did not let him send the photo to more people.

……

On Earth, in an office that is almost drowned by documents and ringing telephones.

Natasha lay in the chair with a look of despair, not looking like a lady or a secret agent at all. Besides the documents, there was a half-eaten sandwich and half a cup of diet cola on the table.

"When will this kind of life end..." Natasha muttered to herself, looking at the snow-white ceiling, her face numb, "If I continue to do this crappy job, I feel like I will never be happy in my life..."

But considering that just by sitting in the office and working overtime, she could live a peaceful life without having to worry about being an agent, and could also earn a salary more than twice her previous highest income period, she felt that she could endure it a little longer.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in..." Natasha said weakly.

"Natasha, do you want to go shopping this weekend?" Wanda walked in wearing a newly bought red slim coat. "By the way, what do you think of my clothes?"

"I'm not going. I have to work overtime on the weekend." Natasha took a look at Wanda's clothes. "You are very beautiful. You look good in anything."

As Lu Mingfei's secretary, Wanda is also considered a member of the Avengers base. However, as a person with super powers, it is still too difficult for her to integrate with ordinary people. Therefore, she is closer to equally unusual people like Natasha. With Natasha's social skills, the two naturally quickly became good friends.

"You still have to work overtime. Why do we assign so much work to you? Do you need my help?" Wanda asked.

"No, thank you for your kindness..." Natasha shook her head.

She has a large group of clerks under her. The reason why she has to deal with the piles of documents on her desk is either because they involve some high-ranking international organizations or even officials of certain countries, or they are very difficult to handle and can only be handed over to her.

Even the subordinates who had received professional training were not qualified to handle these documents, let alone Wanda, Lu Mingfei's personal secretary who had never attended a regular high school.

"By the way, why are you so idle lately? Don't you have a job?" Natasha picked up a document and looked through it, asking casually while eating the rest of her sandwich.

"No, I'm Lu Mingfei's secretary. He said he would be away every few months for some reason. When he's away, my brother, who is his driver, and I would take paid leave." Wanda answered while adjusting the collar of her new clothes.

Natasha's action of biting the sandwich suddenly froze, and she could not bite any further, as if the substance between her teeth was not soft bread but cold, hard steel.

"Why don't you eat it? Is the sandwich expired?" Wanda asked with concern.

"No," Natasha silently put the sandwich on the table, stared at the sandwich for a long time, and then whispered, "Wanda, you go first, I have to work."

"Oh, then come on, don't be too tired, bye." Wanda walked out and did not forget to help Natasha close the door.

"Lu, Ming, Fei..." Natasha took a bite of the sandwich viciously and chewed it hard, as if she was chewing Lu Mingfei.

"Buzz——" the cell phone vibrates.

Natasha took out her phone and glanced at the new message: "It's from Pepper... What does it mean that Lu Mingfei has turned into a cute little boy?"

Outside the office, Wanda, who had just walked a short distance away, suddenly heard some kind of laughter that seemed to come from Natasha's office. It was a laughter that came from the heart and expressed happiness and purity.

……

Deep in the vast and cold universe.

The battleship shuttled out of the wormhole.

In the battleship, Tony's face turned pale. He covered his mouth with one hand and took a few deep breaths through his nose with difficulty. Then he let go of his hand and turned to look at Lucifer: "Didn't I say to use space jump instead of wormhole? Why did you choose wormhole?!"

"First of all, you are not the Father God and have no right to command me." Lucifer's holographic projection floated in the center of the main control room, looking at Tony with disdain. "Secondly, wormhole travel is faster than space warping. It's your problem that you can't bear the pressure, not mine."

Tony:…

Although Lucifer is useful, sometimes his rebellious nature is really a headache. Even if Lu Mingfei is here, he will not care about anyone unless Lu Mingfei gives an order personally. In his eyes, there are only Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei's followers, and creatures who will become Lu Mingfei's followers. No matter how good the relationship between Tony or Banner and Lu Mingfei is, Lucifer will not recognize them.

"Okay, Lucifer, let's sail steadily now. We'll use space warping next time. The speed difference between the two is not much," Lu Mingfei said. "How far are we from Ego now?"

"It will only take ten minutes to arrive at the destination at normal sub-light speed," said Lucifer.

“Then get closer and let the Deadpools prepare for battle. You too, integrate 100% with the battleship and raise the combat readiness level to the highest.” Lu Mingfei said.

"Yes, Father." Following Lucifer's voice, the Iron Deadpools in various parts of the battleship moved together, controlling the power, reconnaissance, weapons and other systems, and heading towards the direction of Ego recorded in the ship battle information database.

Odin's battleship adheres to the concept of "concentration is the essence". Although the parameters in all aspects are terrifying, it is not very large and does not require many drivers. Except for some Iron Deadpools who are responsible for driving, most of the Iron Deadpool legions directly enter the platform specially prepared for carrier-based aircraft in the battleship, replacing those micro carrier-based aircraft, and are ready to go at any time.

Lucifer, who was deeply integrated with the transformed battleship, also showed his true posture in the quiet cosmic voyage - the battleship was gradually stained with a layer of blood, and it deformed and reorganized in an orderly manner during the voyage, turning into a posture close to that of a giant mechanical dragon with spread wings.

Now even if the god Odin himself came, he would not be able to recognize that this was his battleship at first glance.

As he approached Ego, Lu Mingfei saw a blood-red asteroid in front of him gradually expanding from a small dot, from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a grape, and then to the size of a moon cake in his field of vision.

Even ordinary people could clearly see that the planet, which was bordering between blood and rust, had glowing blue features on its surface...

To call it facial features is a bit of an overstatement. In fact, it is just a pair of glowing blue eyes and a vaguely open blue mouth below the eyes. It is a mouth growing on a planet, as creepy as some kind of living abyss.

"Although Ego is a planetary life form, according to the battleship database, he is actually smaller than the moon. Although he is a celestial body, it is probably more accurate to call him a dwarf planet life form." Banner said beside Lu Mingfei, "Those blue eyes and mouths you see are recorded in the database as Ego's life light, or the concrete manifestation of life energy. It is indeed an extremely huge energy..."

Banner was explaining, and although Lu Mingfei was listening, his attention was not entirely on the explanation.

When he saw Ego with his own eyes, an instinct that was stimulated from deeper than his genes began to "remind" him in his heart - devouring Ego could complete him!
