Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 375: Fighting against Ego
In the dark and deep universe, the battleship seemed to be "floating" towards Ego.

Lu Mingfei stood in the battleship, staring at the blue glow coming from the blood-red planet in front of him.

According to the records in the database of the battleship, the blue glow that vaguely formed eyes and a mouth on the surface of the planet is Ego's "real body". These blue energies allow Ego to manipulate molecular matter, and thus gather a large amount of matter from the universe to form such an asteroid-sized celestial body.

Lu Mingfei's instinct was reminding him that consuming this energy would be of great benefit to himself.

Coincidentally, Lu Mingfei has a lot of experience and knowledge in absorbing energy.

As the warships got closer, before Lu Mingfei and the others could make any move, the blue light on the huge blood-colored planet suddenly became much brighter, and physical energy visible to the naked eye waved and woven together like silk threads, transforming into a blue giant that was roughly in the shape of a human.

This blue giant appears to be made purely of luminous energy. Although it looks human-shaped, it has no facial features or limb joints. Its shape even looks a bit like the inferior plastic dummies used as clothing models in shopping malls.

He was still far away from the warship, but he could vaguely see some kind of energy field invisible to the naked eye covering the warship, but it was unable to penetrate the warship's defenses, just like sea water wrapping around a reef.

In the vacuum of space, Ego transmitted some special wave energy, which was captured by the battleship's communication system and then translated by Lucifer into a language that Lu Mingfei and the others could understand.

"Guests from Asgard, I am the only one here. There are no planets with life around, and there is nothing valuable here. No matter what you are here for, please go back."

Although the function of these energy waves is to transmit information, if they are used on spacecraft of some lower-level civilizations, the impact of such energy waves may directly destroy the precision instruments inside, or even the entire spacecraft may be destroyed at the physical level.

For a being of Ego's level, simply "speaking" louder would be a devastating attack on many lives.

However, despite possessing such tremendous power, he was still quite polite towards the Asgard battleship in front of him - just as there was Ego's information in Asgard's battleship database, Ego also had a certain understanding of Asgard, a civilization that once conquered the universe.

His strength and confidence made him not afraid of Odin, the God King of Asgard who was once famous throughout the universe, but he also did not want to provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.

If it were an ordinary interstellar civilization, let alone a battleship, even a fleet would be easily destroyed by him. Even if this fleet might just pass by accidentally, it would be crushed to death by him like an ant.

In the battleship, Lu Mingfei and Tony looked at each other.

"Come on," Tony said.

"Lucifer, translate my words." Lu Mingfei said.

"Yes, Father God."

"Are you Ego? Are you the one who planted the seeds of transformation everywhere?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"That's right," Egg admitted frankly, "but I have never been close to Asgard, let alone planted the seeds of transformation in Asgard."

This is the truth. He spread the seeds all over the universe mainly for quantity. He would not go to a planet like Asgard, where the quality is very high but the natives there are very difficult to deal with.

Lu Mingfei, Tony and Banner exchanged glances and understood what each other meant - as long as they didn't find the wrong person.

"Your transformation seeds are also on Earth, right?" Tony's question was translated to Ego through the battleship's communication device.

"Of course...wait a minute, you are not Asgardians?" Ego said, "I just realized that although you are driving an Asgard warship, you seem to be...Earthlings?"

Igo's tone revealed doubt and confusion that was difficult to conceal.

Billions of years of life had made him somewhat insensitive to time, and his concept of time was different from that of most creatures. However, having been to Earth more than once, he was very sure that Earth should not have developed into what it is now—

He had just been to that planet, and for the creatures there, it should have been only a matter of ten or twenty years. Even for the short-lived natives of that planet, twenty years was not a long time. But how could a civilization that didn't even have the technology to land on the nearest planet now fly in front of him in an Asgard warship?
This shock is like a human taking a nap and looking at the ants moving in his yard. After waking up, he found that several ants flew in front of him in a state-of-the-art drone and started talking to him through a loudspeaker.

Even with Ego's billions of years of experience, he couldn't help but be surprised.

But soon, he reacted and made changes.

The blue giant, who was originally as rough as a plastic mannequin, began to change. The skin where it should be turned into the skin color of white humans, and he transformed into a set of men's clothing that was popular twenty or thirty years ago. After a very short time, he turned into a completely new image, from his limbs to his face, from his clothes to his hair, which was no different from the old American hipster men decades ago - except that he was much taller than Mount Everest.

Even this time when he spoke, no additional translation was needed - he used the language of Earth.

"I never thought that the low-level civilization that I just visited last time and couldn't even travel in space would actually get Asgard's warships." Ego didn't attack the group of Earthlings, but he wasn't so polite either. "You came to me because I planted the seeds of transformation on Earth?"

"Yes, can you remove the seed?" Banner asked.

It has to be said that, in complete contrast to Hulk, Banner always maintains the politeness and elegance of an intellectual.

"Tear it down? Why? Isn't it something we all wish for if you lowly beings can integrate into me and become a part of my eternal life?" Ego looked down at the battleship.

In front of his huge body, the warship was like a stone.

It was not a loss for him to demolish the seeds of transformation on the earth. He had sown seeds on countless planets, and the earth was nothing special among them. It was just an ordinary drop of nutrients among countless others.

But he didn't intend to do that.

If it was really the army of Asgard who came, he wouldn't mind giving Odin some face if they discussed it politely with him.

But a few low-level species on Earth, driving a small Asgard warship, dared to make demands and negotiate conditions with him, a god? They really don't know how to live or die.

As he opened his mouth, countless blue beams of light were emitted from his planet, each of which had the power to destroy an entire fleet, completely submerging Asgard's warships.

"Warning - warning - the battleship is encountering energy attack -" A cold warning sound rang out in the battleship.

Although it said "Warning", in fact all attacks from Ego were blocked by the battleship's protective shield, and only slight vibrations could be felt inside the battleship.

"Huh?" Igo's giant clone in human form showed a surprised expression.

He originally thought that this battleship was so small that it was just an ordinary frigate of Asgard, but now it seems that this thing is not in the same league as a frigate at all. An attack by all cosmic military forces that can destroy a conventional interstellar civilization cannot even shake its protective shield.

The next moment, on the battleship, an energy beam that was hundreds of times larger than the battleship itself was suddenly emitted and dispersed, piercing through Ego's clone, which was larger than Mount Everest, and turned it into a sieve.

This was not the Rainbow Bridge's main energy gun, but just a salvo of conventional weapons launched under Lucifer's control.

The injuries from being beaten into a sieve were enough to destroy most species in the universe, but for Ego's clone it was just a matter of spending some energy to repair them.

"Wait a minute, we can talk." Ego's clone quickly recovered. "I can take the transformation seeds on Earth as long as you can give me enough compensation, such as helping me send a transformation seed to any planet and plant it to replace your planet."

The Asgardian warship in front of him was not simple, and the Earthlings who could drive it were naturally not simple either. Although he was not afraid of these people, he could just assume that they were qualified to trade with him. So Ego quickly changed his mind and proposed a deal that he thought was quite generous - the Earth was his property after being transformed by him, and the Earthlings could redeem their planet by just finding a scapegoat. He was too generous to them, and it could even be said that this deal was full of goodwill.

Ego believed that they had no reason not to accept the kindness of this god.

The battleship's main guns lit up with a rainbow-like torrent of energy.

The main gun, which used the Rainbow Bridge as its attack method, penetrated the giant clone with ease, and used the energy field that was powerful enough to temporarily distort the curvature of space to instantly tear the unpenetrated wreckage into elementary particles and dissipate.

The remaining energy of the rainbow cannon continued to blast towards Ego's planet. Even though the planet's wide-open blue mouth and eyes burst out with energy that was locally bright enough to rival that of a star, it only lasted for a moment before being broken through by the energy of the rainbow cannon and blasted onto the bloody planet's body.

For a planet slightly smaller than the moon, the beam of the Rainbow Bridge was only a line in thickness. But the moment this "line" hit Ego's body, a rainbow-colored shock wave spread out from the contact surface, covering the entire planet - that was formed by the highly concentrated energy of the Rainbow Bridge spreading after hitting the target.

In an instant, the blood-red asteroid seemed to turn into a bright rainbow-colored little star, emitting dazzling brilliance.

However, this glow did not last long. As the bombardment of the rainbow cannon ended, the glow went out, revealing Ego - the originally blood-colored planet had been wrapped in countless rainbow-colored "lightnings". Each "lightning" was a highly condensed energy that limited Ego's own energy.

And in the place that was directly bombarded by the rainbow cannon, there was a bottomless pit that was only the size of a small city.

However, after the previous firing, the Rainbow Cannon could not be used for a short period of time - bearing the energy of the Rainbow Bridge was still too much of a load for the main gun.

"According to tests, the rainbow cannon only penetrated 98.36 percent of the thickness of the earth's crust," Lucifer said. "Ego's planet is constructed by combining several different high-strength materials into a layered crust to protect the core in the center of the planet."

The planet that Ego transformed into was much harder than a normal planet. It was almost entirely crust, with no mantle. Moreover, he used energy to resist when he was attacked, so he was only blasted with a hole that almost reached the core. If it were an ordinary planet, the rainbow cannon would have penetrated it thoroughly like a bullet shooting at an orange and torn it apart in an instant.

"Dr. Banner, call Hulk out. The rainbow cannon cannot be used in the short term. We have to go down and open the last passage ourselves to reach Ego's core." Lu Mingfei said.

Banner nodded, and walked towards a disc device with Lu Mingfei and Tony, who was wearing armor. Although it was impossible to use the huge energy of the Rainbow Bridge to bombard it again, it was still possible to use some of the power of the Rainbow Bridge to directly teleport Lu Mingfei and Hulk to the bottom of the pit.

……

After a flash of bright rainbow beam, Lu Mingfei and the other two appeared at the bottom of the crater created by the blast on Ego's planet.

"Start digging!" Tony didn't say a word. The latest dragon blood armor extended an invisible force, which instantly penetrated the ground below - no one knew the principle of the Rainbow Bridge. Despite such a huge energy bombardment, the ground at the bottom of the pit seemed to have suffered only a pure physical attack and did not melt into magma.

"Hulk! Dug!" Banner has already changed into Hulk.

Unlike the previous method of turning magic into conventional weapons, this time the magic circle that appeared from Hulk's hands wrapped around his fists, like two drill bits, and automatically separated the rocks when they fell, like a sophisticated drilling machine.

Lu Mingfei was more direct. After his bloodline awakening last time, he felt as if he also had the authority to control "force". Each of his punches was accompanied by an extremely sophisticated force that could cause a very deep crack in the ground below.

In his world, there is a king of the earth and mountains who is said to have the power to control the power. At his peak, he can penetrate the earth's crust with a single blow.

No one knew what material this layer deep inside Ego's body was made of, but it was countless times harder than the Earth's crust. However, with the frenzied digging of Lu Mingfei and the other two, it wouldn't take long to drill through this last layer.

"You guys!" The earth and rocks around Lu Mingfei and the other two gathered and changed into the shape of a man. Blue energy could be seen flowing from the bottom of the earth and rocks. It was obvious that Ego was manipulating the matter in his body to form a body.

But the blue energy was also tinged with rainbow colors, restricting his movements. His condensed body had no fighting power at all. He could only speak quickly to Lu Mingfei and the other two in the language of Earth: "I will destroy the Earth's transformation seed immediately! I swear I will never get close to the Earth again... No, I will never enter the Milky Way..."

Igo couldn't understand it - didn't I just want to eat your planet? What deep hatred do you have that you want to destroy my core? !
Lu Mingfei and the other two ignored Ego. They just took advantage of the fact that he was still suppressed by the power of the Rainbow Bridge and unable to move, and dug a hole as quickly as possible.

As for Igo's statement that "the transformation seeds that destroyed the earth will never enter the Milky Way again", it was simply a joke.

If you make an enemy with a living planet, of course you have to kill it completely and quickly before you can feel at ease.

Or, when Ego devours other planets in the universe that have been planted with the seeds of transformation and becomes powerful, will he come to Earth to take revenge on them?
Seeing that Lu Mingfei and the other two completely ignored him, Ego's clone simply disappeared - anyway, he was suppressed by the damn energy on the periphery of the planet and could not launch an effective attack, so he might as well gather all the energy in the core and prepare for a battle. Although the core was also suppressed by the energy of the Rainbow Bridge, the degree of suppression was far less than that on the surface.

……

As Lu Mingfei punched down again, a bright blue light shone through the crack this time, and there was a vast cavity underneath.

"We've reached the core!" Tony said, "Everyone be careful!"

Although the blue energy emanating from the core is also mixed with the light of the rainbow bridge, the rainbow light is obviously not as active as outside, and its suppressive power is probably not as strong as outside.

"Hulk! Invincible!" Hulk jumped into the gap without hesitation.

"Oh! This impulsive fool..." Before Tony finished speaking, he saw the little boy version of Lu Mingfei leap up, and his small figure followed suit.

Tony:…

"Why are you so impulsive today!" Tony complained as he flew in.

Lu Mingfei jumped into the core area, his dragon wings spread out behind him. An invisible field enveloped him, resisting the erosion of the omnipresent Ego's energy.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand, and the Silver Oak Sword appeared in his hand.

He thrust the tip of his sword out of the area that protected him, trying to absorb Ego's energy.

"Hiss...this..." Lu Mingfei swallowed.

We haven't reached the core of Ego yet, the energy density around it is not high enough, so the energy absorbed is naturally not much.

What surprised Lu Mingfei was that these energies could be directly converted into his own power!
Originally, the Silver Oak Sword absorbed energy only to enhance the energy intensity of the sword itself, and to change the energy inside the sword into corresponding properties, thus gaining corresponding power. Its growth was relatively slow, and it could not directly enhance Lu Mingfei's own strength. Although strictly speaking, the Silver Oak Sword was a part of him, if the Silver Oak Sword became stronger he would become stronger, but there were still differences. For example, no matter how strong the Silver Oak Sword was, it would not enhance his physical fitness.

The Silver Oak Sword can only replenish his body's energy consumption, but it cannot be transformed into a boost in strength. It is even less able to be like something exaggerated like the North Sea Divine Art, which can infinitely absorb other people's power and use it for itself.

But now, the power absorbed by Ego can be transformed through the Silver Oak Sword and flow directly into Lu Mingfei's body, becoming his own power!
Although the time was too short and he only absorbed a little, the enhancement was not great, but this enhancement did appear on his body, and Lu Mingfei would never be wrong about this.

To use a game analogy, the energy absorbed by the Silver Oak Sword can only increase the stats of this special weapon, restore health and mana to Lu Mingfei, and there is a chance that he will gain a new skill.

But now, using the Silver Oak Sword to absorb Ego's energy has increased Lu Mingfei's character's health, mana, and even attack and defense values!
Although the little bit of energy just absorbed is better than nothing in terms of improvement, what Ego lacks the least is energy!

What would happen if all of this energy, enough to fill a small planet, was absorbed?
Lu Mingfei calmed himself down, raised the Silver Oak Sword, and flew towards the direction with the highest energy density - Ego's core.
