Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 280 Ego: I've been plotting for millions of years, and I'm still no match for Potter. Is that fair?

When they first heard the name Celestial, even though they knew that Celestial was very powerful, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the others did not have a concrete concept of it.

After Harry explained, they finally understood what kind of species the Celestials were.

Without a doubt, gods who can manipulate cosmic energy to create matter, rewrite genes, and distort spacetime are no different from true deities to mortals.

No, it's not that there's no difference; rather, they are gods!

Even such a powerful being chose to avoid answering Star-Lord's question about whether He was stronger than Harry.

Although Igor did not state the result directly, his attitude alone conveyed a great deal of information.

Could it be that even a god like Ego is no match for Harry?
The Guardians of the Galaxy and others had heard many stories about Harry, but limited by their own level, they still didn't understand what those stories really meant.

It was at this moment that Ego's reaction allowed them to glimpse a tiny fraction of Harry's power.

Even this small part of the story shocked the Guardians of the Galaxy and others, who realized they had underestimated Harry!
Soon, the group arrived at a large hall.

This hall is completely different from the High Priest's Temple on Sovereign; instead of dazzling pure gold decorations, it features colorful reliefs and paintings.

Beside this hall, there is an oval silver device with a notch facing the crowd, through which a delicate projected model can be seen inside the oval.

Igor led the group to the elliptical device and stopped, pointing to the white brain standing silently in deep space within the ellipse:
"I don't know where I came from. My memories begin in the flickering universe, where I am a solitary and strange person."

Over millions of years, I learned to control the tiny particles around me; I created this planet, and in doing so, became powerful and majestic.

At this moment, the brain in the projection was gradually enveloped by a layer of matter, which visibly transformed into a desolate planet, the planet Ego that everyone was now standing on.

Ego continued recounting his experiences, staring into Star-Lord's eyes as he said:

"Then I continued building from here until the planet finally became beautiful and became what you see today."

But I am not satisfied with this; I am still pursuing the truth in the dark!

I realized that I was not the only life form in the universe, and then I made up my mind to prepare myself. I created all sorts of life forms I had imagined.

At this moment, Drax, who was picking his nose, hummed:
Have you had your reproductive organs repaired?

Star-Lord could not tolerate Drax asking his father such a rude question. He immediately turned and glared at Drax, angrily saying:

"Hey buddy, what's going on with you?"

Drax's almond-sized brain didn't have much computing power, and he didn't understand why Star-Lord was angry, so he said somewhat innocently:
"If he were a planet, how could he and your mother have given birth to you? He would have crushed your mother!"

Star-Lord was also somewhat puzzled, but he didn't want to think about it:
"I don't want to hear what my parents have to do..."

"Why?" Drax was even more confused. "Every winter solstice, my dad would tell me how he did things with my mom, and what kind of magical methods he used to get her pregnant."

"Ugh, you're disgusting!"

“No, that’s wonderful!” Drax retorted. “You Earthlings have emotional problems.”

Seeing that the Guardians of the Galaxy were about to start arguing, Ego quickly took over the conversation:
"Oh, yes, I have reproductive organs."

Igor's answer excited Drax: "Ha, I knew it!"

“Yes, and it’s not bad,” Igor added.

"I also have pain sensation, a nervous system and a digestive system, as well as all the other tissues and organs that humans have."

I wanted to experience what it truly meant to be human, so I wandered among the stars until I discovered other life, realizing that I was not alone in this desolate universe.

The projection now shows Ego in human form meeting with a red-skinned humanoid creature.

Star-Lord sensed the melancholy in his father's heart, a loneliness he couldn't understand.

To change the subject and to satisfy his own curiosity, Star-Lord paused for a moment and asked:
When did you meet my mother?

“Not long after that!” Ego turned and raised an eyebrow at Star-Lord.

The projected image transforms into two young people embracing each other. One is a young Ego, and the other is a beautiful young woman. As Star-Lord gradually begins to shed tears, it's easy to guess that she is his mother.

Igor stared intently at the girl's face in the projection, his tone tinged with delight as he said:

"When I was with Meredith, I experienced what true love was for the first time. I called her my little water lily, and the fruit of our love was Peter."

"Peter, I've been looking for you for a long time. Then I heard about an Earthling who became the captain of the Guardians of the Galaxy, a civilization in the universe. I think that's you."

Star-Lord was almost convinced by Ego, but he still had one question:
"If you love her, why did you leave her?"

Igor's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly calmed his emotions, remaining perfectly composed, though a look of pain crossed his face as he said:

“Peter, I have no intention of abandoning your mother! But if I don’t return here often, the light of this planet and this body will wither and eventually perish!”

Star-Lord wasn't so easily fooled and pressed on:
"Then why don't you come back? Why did you send Yondu, that public enemy, to arrest me?"

Igor, agitated, shouted as he explained:
“I love your mother deeply, Peter. I cannot accept setting foot on that planet where your mother has passed away. You simply cannot understand that feeling!”

“How could I not understand that feeling!” Star-Lord roared back, “I watched her die!”

Igor's attitude immediately softened, and he sighed softly:
“In my millions of years of existence, I have made countless mistakes, but you are not one of them, Peter.”

So please let me fulfill your mother's wish and take on the responsibilities of a father.

I have much to teach you about this planet, and about the light within it; these were originally a part of you.

"What do you mean?" Star-Lord asked, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Harry answered on Ego's behalf: "Star-Lord, you're about to rise to the top! If you can master the power your father possesses, you will become a new Celestial!" Harry's words were loaded with meaning, but it was clear that neither father nor son, who were both quite emotional at the moment, noticed it. They each had their own thoughts, and Star-Lord's thoughts were all drawn to the possibility of becoming a Celestial.

Ego glanced at Harry with a strange expression, wondering why Harry had said that.

"A god? Can I become a god too?" Star-Lord looked at Ego and asked expectantly.

Igor put Harry aside for the time being; he simply didn't have the mind to think about Harry's thoughts.

On this planet, even Harry in his normal state wouldn't be able to harm him.

Even if Harry wanted to treat him the same way he treated Mephisto, he could simply teleport the entire planet Ego to another corner of the universe to avoid Harry's attack.

He is different from Mephisto, and Ego Star is different from the Hell Dimension. He is not an immobile dimension; he can change his position at will!

Regaining his attention to Star-Lord, Ego forced a kind smile and said softly:

"Of course, give your hand to my child."

Igor positioned Star-Lord's hands as if he were holding a basketball, and continued:

"Stay like this, don't move. Now close your eyes, concentrate your mind, and focus your thoughts on the very center of the planet."

Star-Lord did as he was told, and the next moment his hands were crackling with dazzling blue-white arcs of energy.

Upon seeing this, Igor was so excited he almost jumped up and shouted:
"Yes, that's it! Quickly shape it and let it feel this power!"

Star-Lord did as he was told, clasping his hands together, and the energy within them slowly formed a regular sphere.

Ego was extremely satisfied. Star-Lord's talent was even better than he had imagined. With Star-Lord's help, he would definitely be able to absorb the energy of all the planets in the universe and completely make himself a multiverse-level powerhouse!
At that moment, Ego looked at Harry, his heart filled with intense jealousy.

It took him millions of years to reach this point, giving him the potential to become a powerful being at the multiverse level.

But the human mage in front of him is only a few years old, maybe in his early twenties?

He has actually been able to unleash power at the multiverse level!
This is incredible!
What made Ego even more jealous was that even if he became a multiverse-level powerhouse, he would most likely still be no match for Harry.

After all, even a powerhouse like Mephisto suffered a great loss at Harry's hands, let alone someone who had just become a multiverse-level powerhouse!

However, Igor was not discouraged; he still had plenty of time.

After absorbing the energy of various planets in the universe and breaking free from the constraints of this universe, he was no longer afraid of Harry and could easily open portals to travel to other parallel universes.

As long as he absorbs enough energy, he will continue to grow stronger until he becomes even stronger than Harry Potter!

At that time, he will kill and devour Harry Potter, that jealous guy!
Ego turned his gaze away from Harry and smiled at Star-Lord, saying, "Congratulations, you did it! Welcome home!"

Everything was going well, and the father and son were reunited, but at that moment Rocket Raccoon suddenly took out a communicator and made a call.

The image of a thin man appeared on the other end of the communicator. He spoke furtively to Rocket Raccoon:
"Hey, you're one of Quill's teammates, right? I have something important to tell Quill!"

Rocket Raccoon scoffed and tossed the communicator to Star-Lord, saying:
"Quail, your communication seems to be coming from Yondu's ship."

"Yondu? WTF, Rocket, what are you doing? We're about to be knocked out, they'll pinpoint our location." Star-Lord was a little nervous.

Ego patted Star-Lord on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, my child, with me here, no one can hurt you!"

Star-Lord then remembered that he was now the son of the gods and the heir to Ego. As long as he remained on this planet, he would have endless life and power, and he would no longer have to fear that damned Yondu.

So he arrogantly held up the communicator and said to the man on the other end:
"Cling Green, what do you want from me? Let me tell you, if you have something to say, say it quickly. I've just become the successor of the gods, and I'm very busy."

"Of course, if you want to pinpoint my location, I can only say go ahead. Igor Star is right here, it never moves. If you want to capture me, hurry up and come on, I'm waiting for you to come looking for death!"

Klinglin realized Star-Lord had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained in a low voice:
"Star-Lord, you've misunderstood. I'm looking for you to save Yondu; he's dying!"

Star-Lord: "!!!"

Although he kept saying that his adoptive father was a damn bastard, Star-Lord immediately became nervous when he learned that Yondu was really going to die.

Deep down, he knew he absolutely did not want to see his adoptive father die!
He immediately asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Klinglin's voice grew softer, as if he wanted to be heard, and he quickened his pace:

"Because everyone else was unhappy with Yondu's favoritism towards you, and because Yondu violated the Raiders' rule of 'not trafficking children,' he was expelled from the Raiders' group. Without the Raiders' protection, the others found an opportunity to smash Yondu's signal turban and imprison him."

If you don't come soon, he'll be thrown into outer space by Scarface.

So, come quick, help me!

Star-Lord did not immediately restore Kling Green, but hesitated.

He didn't know whether to save Yondu or not. If Yondu died, he would no longer be threatened by Yondu and could do whatever he wanted.

And now he is the heir to a planet with a bright future. Does he really want to sell himself to his adoptive father, who has kept him away from his biological father for decades?
Ego had long been unhappy with Yondu's secret abduction of Star-Lord, and seeing Star-Lord hesitate, he said without any politeness:

“Peter, ignore that damn bastard. Let him die. If he dies, the universe will be one less menace.”

Harry watched Star-Lord silently from the side, awaiting his choice.

He knew what answer Star-Lord would choose. In most universes, Star-Lord was a smart man who knew who was most important to him.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Star-Lord gritted his teeth and said:

"No, I'm sorry, Igo. I have to save him. After all, he raised me for decades. Even if he wasn't good to me, I can't watch him die!"

Ego frowned. He hadn't expected Star-Lord to betray him in the future, like Yondu. Just as he was trying to subtly destroy Star-Lord's ship, a tremendous force suddenly came from his shoulder.

This force actually suppressed the vast energy within his body in an instant, and even affected the brain itself beneath the planet!
