Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 376 The End
In the cold and deep universe, a blood-red planet blocked by rainbow light and nearly the size of the moon was rapidly flashing blue light.

Although part of the surface was blocked by rainbow-colored lightning, countless cracks still opened and closed through the blood-colored "surface" below, and blue materialized energy could be seen through the cracks.

In the universe, the space environment in this area is extremely stable, making it very suitable as a transit point for wormhole jumping, but in fact it is a restricted area on cosmic routes.

Lower civilizations only know that once a spacecraft enters this area, it will immediately lose contact and will not have time to escape by wormhole jumping.

More advanced civilizations all know that the reason why the space environment here is stable is because there is a planetary-level life form here that cannot be provoked, so they naturally stay away from it.

But today, this terrifying existence that countless advanced civilizations in the universe stay away from, let out a series of "roars" in the form of energy waves.

Ego's planet, or rather, inside his body.

Countless blue energies filled a huge cavity, which was the core of Ego's body.

If we use the human body as an analogy, this is Ego's "cranial cavity", and his brain is hidden somewhere in the "cranial cavity".

However, unlike humans, this "cranial cavity" is actually Ego's most powerful area - all his energy is concentrated here.

"Something's wrong! The energy density around us is too high, and the movement speed of my armor is affected!" Tony said to Lu Mingfei.

His armor has been strengthened several times, combining the magic of Kamar-Taj, Asgard magic metals, the alchemy provided by Lu Mingfei, and dragon biotechnology. It is already a super weapon that far exceeds the imagination of Earthlings and even most cosmic civilizations. However, it still struggles in the face of Igo's huge energy level.

These blue energies that surged with destructive power at all times, although unable to destroy his armor, could greatly restrict his movements.

"Iron Man, weak!" Hulk looked down at Tony, and was "swimming" through the energy that was blocking him.

In the face of this level of energy torrent, the Kamar-Taj magic used by him and Banner was meaningless, but those magics were just icing on the cake for Hulk. The main source of his power has always been his almost invincible body.

Even the attack launched by Ego at his core area could not hurt Hulk, but only stimulated him to roar even louder, and his strength increased with his anger.

But what frightened Ego the most was Lu Mingfei.

Tony used the domain attached to his dragon blood steel suit to resist the attack, Hulk used his body to resist, but Lu Mingfei was different...

The Silver Oak Sword turned into thin threads swirling around him. At first glance, it looked like a drill that wrapped around Lu Mingfei, "drilling" a path through Ego's attack.

But Ego could clearly feel that all the energy approaching those silver threads was not repelled or blocked, but was directly absorbed!

Ego's humanoid incarnation gathered around Lu Mingfei. This time he looked like a white male who was about the same height as Lu Mingfei.

These people were clearly out to take his life, so Ego didn't bother to waste any more words. He formed a humanoid incarnation and rushed directly towards Lu Mingfei, who was wrapped in the filaments transformed from the Silver Oak Sword.

Unlike the energy torrents that attack from all angles around it, the energy density of this incarnation is much higher. Because it is so high, it can only move in this fixed form, and accordingly, the power that this form can exert is more concentrated.

This incarnation of Ego simply punched at him. If it weren't for the fact that he was suspended in the air and his fist was emitting a solid light, this scene would even look a bit like a fight between ordinary earthlings. However, a strong sense of vigilance suddenly arose in Lu Mingfei's heart - some instinct told him that this seemingly ordinary punch was extremely dangerous.

Lu Mingfei released the power of Fimbulwinter almost without hesitation—and it was the final stage of Wolfwinter.

This is the Winter of Death and the Winter of the End. In mythology, when the Fimbulwinter develops to this stage, the gods of Asgard die, the world tree collapses, and Asgard itself is burned and destroyed by Surtur.

Although Lu Mingfei did not use his full strength to drive Wolf Winter, he still released the conceptual-level "freeze", and even the intangible energy around him solidified.

Loki was able to freeze energy for a short period of time when he used the power of the Ancient Winter Coffin, but the amount of energy that was frozen this time was far beyond what it was then.

The Silver Oak Sword swept through, absorbing the solidified Ego's power wherever it passed, and even "recovered" some of the cold air back into Lu Mingfei's body.

"No, although the efficiency of absorbing energy here is much higher than on the surface, it is still too small for Ego's size. It's not even as good as pricking a finger to draw blood from an ordinary person," Lu Mingfei said to Tony, "We have to find Ego's core!"

"You can absorb Ego's energy?" Tony asked, "What's the limit? You won't burst yourself, right?"

"It was only after I saw Ego that I felt I could do it," Lu Mingfei's dragon wings shook and he appeared beside Tony, "As for bursting... I don't think so."

After being absorbed, Ego's energy was almost seamlessly transformed into his own strength. The digestion and absorption process was so fast that he himself could not even feel it.

"Then we just need to find his core and let you devour it, right?" Tony said, "Don't worry about that. I have already made a plan! Lucifer, act according to the previous plan. Now use my battle suit as a transfer device and the battleship's core as an analyzer to scan Ego's body and find his energy core."

After Tony said this, he turned to look at Lu Mingfei. Even through the mask, Lu Mingfei could imagine Tony's smug expression.

"Can't sweep it." Lucifer's voice came through Tony's battle suit, coldly interrupting Tony's pride.

"What?! What did you do? Didn't you plan it well beforehand?" Tony's eyes widened.

"What's going on, Lucifer?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"My Lord," Lucifer immediately changed his tone, "Tony's prediction was wrong. He underestimated the interference intensity caused by the energy-filled environment in Ego's body. The scanning range was compressed to less than one thousandth of the expected range. This range could not obtain enough data, and it was impossible to deduce and analyze Ego's core position."

"Does this mean that Tony's armor's scanning power is not enough?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yes, Lord." Lucifer replied immediately, "You are worthy of being the Lord. You saw the root of the problem at a glance. Your wisdom far exceeds that of some ignorant Earth merchants... No, comparing you with Earthlings is already a disrespect for you. Please punish me..."

"Shut up." Tony interrupted fiercely, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that the scanning power was insufficient? I have a backup energy source! It can enhance the scanning power!"

As Tony finished speaking, the alchemical field of the Iron Man suit suddenly expanded tenfold, and the spherical interface pushed out a layer of chaotic tracks visible to the naked eye in the solidified Ego energy.

"This amount of energy is far from enough." Lucifer said.

He didn't mean to challenge Tony. Although the backup energy enhanced the scanning power, no matter how strong the backup energy was, it was impossible to increase the scanning power by thousands of times. Naturally, it was far from enough.

"Tony, your suit has external power supply, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yes." As he spoke, Tony had already opened a port on the back of his suit. Lu Mingfei pressed his hand on the port, and a huge amount of energy flowed out of the Silver Oak Sword and entered Tony's suit. He didn't have that much energy originally, but now he had Ego, an inexhaustible super battery, around him, didn't he?
"The scanning range is sufficient. I just need to keep moving. As long as the range is large enough, I can collect enough information to analyze and infer the specific location of Ego's core." Lucifer said, "You are worthy of being the master. You only need to make a slight move..."

"No flattery allowed!" Lu Mingfei said, "Tony, you don't get airsick, do you?"

"I'm not dizzy, why...ah——"

Before Tony could finish his words, they turned into a long series of deformed screams.

As Iron Man, Tony certainly doesn't get airsick, but... he gets airsick from continuous teleportation.

After his bloodline was strengthened once again and Ego's energy was absorbed, the teleportation power of the Space Stone was also greatly enhanced - Lu Mingfei is now fully capable of taking Tony to teleport over long distances at ultra-high frequencies.

This ultra-high frequency is not just talk. Without considering the energy consumption, Lu Mingfei can teleport Tony dozens of times per second. This is based on the fact that he has to distract himself from powering Tony's suit, manipulating the Silver Oak Sword to absorb the surrounding energy, and guarding against attacks from Ego.

Although Wolf Winter had just frozen a large area of ​​Ego's energy, it did not slow down Ego for long. While Lu Mingfei and Tony were talking for a few words, Ego mobilized more energy from other areas that were not frozen, created more incarnations with extremely high energy density, and attacked Lu Mingfei, Tony and Hulk.

The reason why Lu Mingfei took Tony away without waiting for him to finish speaking during his first teleportation was because Ego's attack had already arrived.

Lu Mingfei brought Tony and flashed in Ego's core space. Every time they appeared in a different place, Lucifer would get more information about the flow of energy in Ego's body and further accurately lock his core position.

As for Hulk... he was being besieged by countless Ego's clones. It was difficult for Ego to really hurt him. He was only overturning and defeating Ego's energy incarnation. Neither side could cause any substantial damage to the other.

However, Lu Mingfei originally brought Hulk here just hoping that he could help dig through Ego's surface and share the firepower. Now Hulk has completed the task perfectly.

"Found it! The core... is... nearby!" Tony said with difficulty while "teleporting". "Don't teleport anymore! Follow me! I'll take you to the core!"

"No--" Almost at the moment when Tony pulled Lu Mingfei to fly in a certain direction, Ego realized that they had found their core.

Countless energies transformed into different forms and attacked Lu Mingfei and Tony. Rock-like substances emerged around them and, with the blessing of Ego's energy, also crushed towards Lu Mingfei and Tony.

The Silver Oak Sword spread out countless fine threads behind Lu Mingfei, weaving into a wing-like shape. Wherever it passed, Ego's energy was devoured and absorbed, transformed into energy that flowed into Tony's battle suit, accelerating the two of them.

"It's here!" A colorful energy cannon shot out from Tony's chest, penetrating a rock area reinforced by Ego. In a pit with a diameter of nearly three meters and a depth of hundreds of meters, a translucent giant brain condensed completely by materialized energy was quietly suspended. Every flash was an energy cycle of the entire planet. Tony's attack just now still had more than half of its power left when it reached this core, but it was easily resolved by the energy generated by the flashes.

"Damn! You even added a miniature rainbow cannon into your suit?" Lu Mingfei exclaimed.

"It's just a semi-finished product, with limited power." Tony shook his head. "If it was a real rainbow cannon, it would have blown that big blue head right up."

“Don’t explode, if I explode how can I absorb it!” A blue light flashed on Lu Mingfei’s body.

But the difference was that he activated the power of the Time Stone, instantly appeared next to Ego's core, raised the Silver Oak Sword and stabbed at the brain-like core.

There are only a few millimeters between the tip of the sword and the core, but it is difficult to advance an inch.

“Hahahahahahahahaha… stupid lower creature, you underestimate me…” Ego’s face emerged from the surface of the brain-like core, and the tip of the Silver Oak Sword was right against the center of this face’s eyebrows.

"My core is indeed the most vulnerable part, but because of this, the defense around my core is the strongest. Even in the center of a star, my core will not be damaged at all! Your weapon was made by the Dwarf King, right? It is indeed a rare artifact in the entire universe, but it is wishful thinking to want to penetrate my defense! Even Odin's Eternal Spear cannot break my defense! After I kill you ignorant ants, I will personally devour your Earth..."

Lu Mingfei silently activated the power of the phoenix in the Silver Oak Sword.

The Silver Oak Sword penetrated into Ego's core like a piece of tofu.

Ego's hideous and laughing face was completely distorted after a brief stiffness.

The Silver Oak Sword was madly devouring the seemingly endless energy. At that moment, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had achieved some kind of sublimation in life.

Ego's big face opened and closed silently, first revealing a pleading expression, then anger, cursing, and then pleading again, until the energy in his core was exhausted and he could no longer hold on and dissipated silently.

Lu Mingfei didn't pay any attention to Ego's final "performance" at all. He just kept absorbing the energy from Ego.

I don’t know how long it was, but when Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again, he found Tony waving in front of him.

To be precise, Tony was waving his arms back and forth in front of him, and occasionally using his battle suit to send out energy messages that could be heard in the universe. Translated, it meant something like "Are you awake?" "Lu Mingfei, are you conscious?"

Lu Mingfei looked around - they seemed to be no longer in Ego's body? Instead, they were in the center of an asteroid belt, surrounded by densely packed micro-meteorites floating around.

"Don't look at it, this is Ego," Tony said, "It seems that his body is also made up of a lot of inorganic substances similar to those on other planets. You absorbed all his energy, and the inorganic body that he put together with his own power collapsed and turned into these things."

"How long did it take me to absorb this energy?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Not long, maybe a few hours. I saw that your vital signs were very stable, so I didn't move you. I was by your side the whole time helping you eliminate interference and deal with some meteorites that floated over." Tony asked with some anticipation, "How was it? Did you feel any changes in your body after swallowing Ego?"

"Yes, and the changes are huge..." Lu Mingfei said, "But before we talk about this, Tony, have you forgotten something?"

"What?" Tony asked.

"Where is Hulk?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Ah...well..." Tony looked up at the sky.

Hulk floated out from between several meteorites not far away, with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Lu Mingfei and Tony, his mouth opening and closing, but because sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, no one could hear what he wanted to say.

Tony:…

Lu Mingfei:...
