A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 212 Arrival at Igor Star

“First of all, thank you very much for your concern, Captain. But one Sovelin isn’t enough to throw us into a panic. However, you’ve come at the right time. We have another matter that we need your help with,” Li Wei said.

“What is it?” Carol Danvers asked.

"Let's talk in private," Li Wei said, glancing at Star-Lord.

Carol noticed that Star-Lord was wearing Ravager attire and knew that some things were indeed not suitable for him to hear, so she nodded and followed Levi out of the cockpit.

“Speak, what is it?” Carol Danvers asked after arriving at the stern.

“Okay!” Li Wei waved his hand and set up an isolating barrier around the two of them, then told her about Star-Lord’s background and Ego’s existence.

Carol Danvers' arrival was both unexpected and a pleasant surprise for Levi and his group.

After all, their goal at this moment was to eliminate Ego, a guy who was like "cancer" to the entire universe.

Carol Danvers, in this matter, would undoubtedly be an excellent asset.

Furthermore, Levi believed that given Carol Danvers' meddlesome nature, she would remain indifferent knowing that Ego was a threat to the entire universe.

Of course, they didn't hide their plan to "sell" Star-Lord.

This isn't a big deal; Li Wei believed the other party wasn't that pedantic.

"Is everything you said true?" Sure enough, after listening to Li Wei's story, Carol Danvers's expression immediately became serious.

“Of course it’s true. You can verify that yourself when you get to Igor Star. However, I think you’d better conceal your whereabouts. After all, Igor is very powerful, and it won’t be easy for a strong person like you to hide from him,” Li Wei said.

Li Wei wasn't worried about anything else, but he was worried that if Ego found out that Carol Danvers was too strong, he would take her as a threat and start a fight without saying a word.

"Don't worry about that. I'll conceal my energy so that the other side won't notice it, and it won't affect your plans—provided everything you said is true," Carol Danvers nodded and said.

Concealing energy is not a problem for her.

"Everyone, welcome to the next leg of our journey. We have a new companion, Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers. Although her situation is somewhat special, she is indeed an Earthling, just like us." A few minutes later, after reappearing in the cockpit with Carol, Levi addressed everyone through the communication channel.

"What? She's from Earth?" The rest of the Alliance didn't react much to the news, because everything about Captain Marvel was already clearly described in the Alliance's classified files. So, apart from Shana, the rest of the Alliance members knew how to deal with her. But Star-Lord was not calm.

Because he saw it clearly: when Captain Marvel appeared before, she was flying in space without any protection.

Is this something a human being could do?
Even 99% of aliens couldn't do that, right?
"Of course, she's 100% pure Earthling, unlike you, a mixed-race person," Tony retorted sarcastically.

“Genetically speaking, it’s not entirely accurate, because when I was taken away by the Kree, I underwent some genetic modifications, so that I also have some Kree genes in my body.” Carol Danvers stated the fact that she had undergone genetic modifications very carefully.

Of course, she didn't say this because she felt proud of having Kree genes, but rather as a wake-up call for herself and a expression of her hatred for Kree.

“Haha, I knew it. How could Earthlings possibly… Wait, the Kree don’t seem to have the ability to survive in space either. Hey, little girl, how did you do it?” Star-Lord casually put his hand on Carol’s shoulder and asked with a grin.

He was met with an elbow from Carroll.

“Of course, it’s all about power!” Carol said, a ball of cosmic energy appearing in her hand, without even glancing at Star-Lord who couldn’t stand up.

Seeing Star-Lord's miserable state, Tony, piloting the spaceship, couldn't help but swallow hard. Thank goodness he hadn't been drooling, or he would have been the one lying on the ground. Levi, on the other hand, shook his head, indicating he couldn't bear to look.

At this stage, Star-Lord was actually similar to Tony in his early years, a "playboy" who flirted with every woman he saw.

You can tell from his appearances in the movie, such as when he was looking for the Sphere of the Universe, he had a hungover alien girl on his spaceship, when he was discovered by the rocket in Xandar, he was flirting with girls, and when he was kicked out by the broker, he tried to be profound and flirt with Gamora but ended up messing it up.

But now he actually dares to take advantage of Carroll?
I really don't know how to spell "death".

“Let me tell you, my father can own a whole planet’s worth of people. If you mess with me, you’ll regret it sooner or later,” Star-Lord muttered as he lay on the ground.

Good grief, now that he knows his biological father is rich, he's already acting like a rich kid?

Everyone was stunned by what Star-Lord said.

"Oh? Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it!" Carol, who already knew the details, smiled slightly and said.

She suddenly felt a little curious about what kind of expression this silly thing would have when it found out the truth.

……

A few days later, the two spaceships finally arrived at the planet Ego.

“There’s a communication coming in; it’s from this planet,” Yelena said.

To Levi's surprise, when their spaceship approached Ego, it wasn't caught off guard like in the movies; instead, communications came through as soon as they appeared.

"Connect it!" Li Wei said after thinking for a few seconds.

The communication was quickly established, and the person on the screen was none other than Mantis, Ego's waitress, Star-Lord's half-sister, and a future member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Upon seeing Mantis, Levi suddenly understood.

This explains why, in the movie, after Nebula and Rocket arrived on Ego one after the other, there was no reaction on Ego at all.

When they arrive, they will be questioned.

Because at that point in the movie, Mandis had already joined forces with Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and others.

“Hello, madam, we are here to see Mr. Ego. We have brought his offspring from Earth, Peter Quill!” Levi said.

"Please wait a moment, I'll pass it on right away!" Mandis replied expressionlessly, then hung up the communication.

At this time, Mantis had not yet interacted with anyone outside the community. So, although he had the ability to sense other people's emotions, he lacked interpersonal skills, and thus had a poker face.

However, thinking about this, Li Wei felt that it would be better to absorb Mantis into the league afterward, since her abilities were actually quite good.

Moreover, once he joins the League, he shouldn't become as silly as he was in the original timeline—although Li Wei hadn't seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, he had seen Guardians of the Galaxy: Christmas Special, which was released not long before he traveled through time.

Although it's just a short, mischievous story, Mantis, who appears quite frequently, is clearly becoming absurd.
