Chapter 155 The Kidnapping of the Mantis Woman, News from Planet Adelaide
"Don't be afraid, I'm just passing by and I'm asking for directions."

Upon seeing the newcomer's attire and appearance, especially the clear stupidity revealed in his large, dark eyes, Carrot, who had originally intended to attack, couldn't help but silently withdraw his fist.

No matter what, you can't steal from an idiot, let alone a female idiot.

Carrot looked at the girl in front of him, his gaze momentarily surprised.

She's a cute girl with big eyes and a mature, sophisticated figure, though her forehead wrinkles are a bit prominent.

All green, and with tentacles too, wow, another relative of Piccolo???

Carrot's face stiffened. Had he stirred up trouble on his way here, or had Namek already taken over the entire universe?

Mantis Woman!
Carrot El immediately recognized the man's identity.

The origins of Mantis are quite different in comics and movies.

But when Carrot was on Earth, Black Widow never mentioned that Hawkeye had a master named Mantis.

Judging from her surroundings, this cute girl with prominent forehead wrinkles is probably Mantis from the movie version, Star-Lord's sister, Ego's daughter, and a powerful mind control mage!

Carrot El's gaze made Mantis hesitant to speak, and she stared at him blankly for a long while.

But Carrot's handsome face didn't seem like that of an aggressive man, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of harming her, Mantis lowered her guard.

"passing by?"

The Mantis Woman's forehead was deeply wrinkled. Although Carrot wasn't a fierce-looking person, she didn't believe that statement.

To avoid being disturbed, the entire planet was protected by a barrier set up by Igor using his divine power, which is why she was unable to escape despite trying several times.

Who would dare to wander into the barrier if they were just passing by?

"Do you know where this place is?"

The praying mantis woman looked at him timidly, her shifty eyes darting around before she hesitated for a moment and said, "You'd better leave quickly, before he comes back."

Carrot was amused by the unexpected remark, but he also understood what Mantis meant. He had to admit, the little girl who could act like a fool among a group of fools was undeniably adorably silly.
"I'm sorry I startled you. My name is Carrotelle. I ended up here with my friends. Are you a native of this planet?"

The Mantis shook her head and gently touched Carrot's outstretched hand with her fingertips.

The two antennae on his head glowed slightly. The mantis woman sensed no harm in his emotions, only peace and tranquility. She breathed a sigh of relief, gave a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile, and explained:
"No, there are no living things on this planet, only the planet itself."

"How did you get in? There's a very strong barrier outside."

Upon hearing this, Carrot frowned slightly.

Enchantment?

Is it something like a magic circle?
It seems like it hit something before landing; it was flying too fast, so I didn't pay much attention.

"Really? I hadn't noticed that."

Carrot casually replied, "Looks like this must be Planet Igor."

Interestingly, El didn't sense Ego's presence. Even if his clone wasn't here, if the entire planet were his body, he should have been able to sense his presence.

However, according to the setting of Dragon Ball, planets themselves have no will, so there is no such thing as aura, only the purest energy.

Although Carrot created the Spirit Bomb, he did not have such a pure mind, so he did not pursue it further, lest he create an evil Spirit Bomb.

After giving this move as a reward for Madoka's wilderness survival skills, the matter was dropped. But thinking of this, Carrot still closed his eyes and silently sensed it. Indeed, there was a power around him, but it wasn't qi.

This power is similar to the power of primordial energy, but it is not as pure as primordial energy and has many variations. Perhaps, this is the divine power of the Marvel Universe.

So far, apart from Diana, Carrot has not seen any other born gods, but this power is indeed very mysterious.

"Let's go! It's dangerous here!"

Seeing Carrot El standing there in a daze, Mantis hesitated for a long time, then tapped her head, wanting to pull Carrot away from there as soon as possible.

But when he tried to pull her, he found that he couldn't move her at all. The other person just silently looked at him and looked at her indifferently the whole time.

"Alright, I also want to leave here. Your spaceship is beautiful. May my companion and I have the honor of boarding it?"

"this."

Upon hearing this, Mantis opened her mouth, blushed, and then lowered her head in embarrassment: "Actually, this is not my spaceship; I stole it."

"Ok?"

This sentence completely stumped Carrot. Good grief, you've only known me for less than five minutes and you're already telling me about stealing the spaceship?
Looking the Mantis up and down, Carrot had to admit that he had gained a new understanding of the limits of a person's intelligence, and sighed:

"Judging from its appearance and interior design, this spaceship does not match your temperament. I think its owner must be a noble king."

"But when you're out and about, it's best not to admit it like that. No one will be drawn into a thief's scheme just because they hear about one thief's crime, including another thief."

The Mantis Woman looked somewhat dejected, and lowered her head, murmuring to herself:

"No, I just don't want to lie. I hate lying, but I always have to lie a lot."

Carrot looked around at the vegetation and could understand her situation. If it weren't for her ability to help Ego fall asleep, this ruthless and cunning demon would never have kept her alive until now.

No dictator can tolerate anyone knowing what's on his mind; he'd kill anyone, let alone his daughter, even the crown prince.

"If this luxurious spaceship belongs to this planet, then you stole it to leave this place, right?"

The Mantis Woman nodded. Having already read Carrot's mind during their earlier touch, she knew this man meant no harm, and she was relieved to finally have someone to talk to.

I've always wanted to escape from here.

Carrot smiled faintly. He didn't want to get involved in Star-Lord's messy affairs anyway, and asked:
"Do you know how to get to the planet Adelaide?"

"Star Yadrat?"

Hearing Carrot's words, Mantis paused, looked him up and down, and blinked in confusion.

“I know, you don’t look like an Adratian. They’re just a bunch of dwarfs with purple skin and spots all over their bodies.”

Carrot's pupils contracted, and his expression changed slightly: "You've seen them?"

"Previously"

The Mantis Woman hesitated, as if suddenly awakened by something. After a pause, she changed her words:

"People from the planet Adelaide have visited this place before."

I want to apologize to everyone. I'm sorry, my updates these past two months have been terrible. I would sit there for ages and not be able to write a single word. I was so frustrated while writing, I didn't know how to write this transition, and it was quite boring. I was wavering between switching to Avengers and taking on Guardians of the Galaxy. It's true that I'm not capable enough. I realize that I'm also a useless person. Many people have left, and it's because I'm incompetent. I'm grateful for this connection!
