Chapter 283 A Complete Break with Igor!
In an instant, a blinding emerald green beam of light shot out from the tip of the wand like lightning, shattering the silence of the universe.

Wherever the light passed, space seemed to be distorted, and the starlight around them paled in comparison to this powerful force.

In an instant, the splitting ray traversed a vast distance in the silent depths of space, like a peerless blade forged by magic, striking the center of the assassin's spaceship with unparalleled precision.

The spaceship's protective shield burst forth with blinding sparks the moment it came into contact with the light, like tens of thousands of fireflies exploding simultaneously in an attempt to intercept it.

However, this protective shield was nothing more than a thin sheet of paper under the terrifying power of the splitting ray, and was instantly pierced through.

The spaceship's outer shell began to disintegrate at a visible rate, the metal twisting and deforming like butter melted by high temperature, before shattering into pieces.

The fragments scattered throughout the universe, tracing brilliant but fleeting paths in the dark cosmos. However, before they had gone far, they were broken down again by the splitting rays and dissipated into the most basic particles.

After the outer shell was broken apart, the various equipment and pipelines inside the spaceship were exposed. During the rapid disintegration, the energy released from the damaged energy source darted around like silver snakes.

Seconds later, its energy core began to flicker erratically under the violent impact, the red light growing brighter and brighter until finally, it exploded.

"boom!"

Although there was no sound in the vacuum, the powerful energy shock still spread out in visible ripples, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the surrounding space, turning everything into a blinding green.

As the light gradually faded, the small spaceship had vanished, leaving behind only a wreckage area filled with countless floating fragments, as if telling the story of what had just happened.

During the communication, the ugly face of the assassin also disappeared from the communication panel.

Seeing the little red dot disappear from the radar, Rocket Raccoon shrugged and scoffed:

"Look at this ignorant fool, who doesn't know what he's facing, so he just disappeared from the universe."

Star-Lord then came to Harry's side, excitedly clenching his fist and saying:

"Wow, that's cool! Harry, do I have a chance to use this level of power? It's almost as powerful as a starship's main cannon!"

Star-Lord couldn't do it on his own, but he could sacrifice his own father!
Harry smiled knowingly and said:
"Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, you will soon have this power. Don't forget that your father is a god."

If Ego's consciousness is completely annihilated and his planet-like brain is turned into an energy battery, this energy battery can not only power the floating city, but also transmit energy to Star-Lord.

At that time, Star-Lord, who possesses some of the Celestial Power, will experience an exponential increase in strength, and will take off completely!

Not long after, the Raider's systems rebooted, and Rocket Raccoon called out to everyone:
"System reboot complete. We should get going. We'll probably return to Planet Igor in about three days!"

“Wait, no need for that.” Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Harry drew his wand, and a portal several kilometers in diameter formed before them, with the beautiful Ego on the other side. “We can teleport directly there.”

Everyone fell silent again.

Although they did not know how much energy it would take to create such a large portal, they did know how much energy it would take for a starship with a diameter of several thousand meters to make a jump.

This directly opens a portal from this part of space to Ego, and the energy required is enough for the raider ships to travel for several months.

Even if using magic requires less magic power, it still won't be much less.

So, is this the world of the big shots?
His body wasn't as huge as a god's, so how did he contain so much energy?

Rocket Raccoon suddenly realized that there were many things he didn't know, and this question stumped him!

Unbeknownst to everyone, Yondu stared in astonishment at Ego Star on the other side of the portal, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

However, before he could even speak to the Guardians of the Galaxy, Harry stopped him.

Harry's voice echoed in Yondu's mind: "Don't remind them, I'll protect them, Ego is no threat."

Yondu glanced at Harry in surprise, but his gaze didn't linger on Harry for long. Instead, he turned his head and pretended to look out the window, communicating with Harry in his mind:
“Harry, I know you’re strong, but that’s a god. If he harms Quill and the others, you might not be able to stop him!”

"No, don't worry. You should know that I once defeated Mephisto in the Hell Dimension. He is much stronger than Ego."

"I have a plan. If this plan succeeds, Star-Lord will permanently gain the power of the Celestials, and he will also be able to completely perfect his genes and become the next Captain Marvel in the universe," Harry persuaded.

Yondu remained silent for a moment, then finally agreed.

Harry is indeed powerful; he could very well protect Quill from Ego.

Moreover, if Harry's plan succeeds, Quill will become the next Captain Marvel, possessing a voice even when facing a powerful civilization, and will no longer have to live a life of upside-down displacement.

It has to be said that Yondu was completely convinced by Harry for the sake of Star-Lord's future.

……

The group quickly returned to Planet Ego, but this time they brought a huge spaceship with them.

Igor stood on the ground, gazing intently at the spaceships that were gradually emerging from the portal.

He knew he couldn't proceed according to the original plan; he had to speed things up so that he could devour all the energy from the other planets before Harry Potter noticed anything amiss!
Igor composed himself, and soon his face regained its kind and benevolent expression.

He arrived beneath the Marauder ship, waiting for it to land, and addressed the group disembarking:

"Welcome back!"

Igor turned and scanned the group, noticing Yondu's absence, and asked curiously:

“Where is Yondu? I haven’t seen him. Although there were some misunderstandings between us, he raised my child after all, so I can forgive him.”

Star-Lord curled his lip and muttered:
"Just as we were about to pass through the portal, Yondu suddenly told us that he needed to go to Xandar to take care of some things, and then he left in a small spaceship. I really don't know what he was thinking, since we just saved him."

Igor's eyes flickered slightly as he gradually calmed the power that was accumulating at the center of the planet.

Although it's unclear why Yondu didn't reveal his true identity to Star-Lord and the others, this was undoubtedly advantageous to him.

Therefore, Ego is still prepared to gradually persuade Star-Lord, since whether Star-Lord voluntarily becomes his energy battery will greatly affect the efficiency of the energy battery.

Igor laughed and said, "In that case, you can wait for him here. Come on, everyone, I've arranged rooms for you. I think you'll have a wonderful night."

……

At night, in Star-Lord's room, Star-Lord lay sprawled on the bed, clutching a faded cassette tape in his arms, the melody of "Come and Get Your Love" faintly playing in the room.

This guy loves music so much that he can only fall asleep to music. Suddenly, the room lights turned on automatically, and in the soft, warm light, Igor walked slowly in.

“My child, you should wake up. I have something I want to talk to you about.” Igor’s voice was reassuringly magnetic, waking Peter from his sleep.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, seeing his father gazing at the holographic photo he had recently hung on the wall—a snapshot taken during their victory celebration on Xandar, with Gamora's rare smile forever captured beside him.

Peter instinctively pulled the blanket over his chest: "Igor? What are you doing here? Don't you get any sleep?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Peter realized how stupid he had been. Igor's body was now entirely made of energy, so of course he didn't need to sleep.

Ego clearly had no intention of making fun of Star-Lord. He raised his hand, his fingertips tracing Gamora's silhouette in the photo:
"I noticed the way you looked at her before; you like this girl, don't you?"

Star-Lord was a little surprised; he never expected that his parents would be concerned about his love life.

The feeling was strange, and he didn't dislike it: "Yes, I... I like her, I'm pursuing her, she's a good girl, but we've had some disagreements lately..."

Star-Lord rubbed his cheeks in distress.

A deep, mysterious light flickered in Ego's eyes as he gazed into Star-Lord's eyes and advised:
“Peter, you don’t have to be like this. She’s just a passerby in your life, like those stars wandering in the universe.”

We are eternal, you and me, my power, your bloodline... We can reshape the entire universe!
Therefore, sometimes we must relinquish the pleasures of ordinary life.

Star-Lord was a little puzzled as to why Ego would say these things to him, but he didn't think much of it and simply shrugged:

"I'm sorry, Ego, you may not be a mortal, but I..."

"No, Peter, as long as this planet continues to shine, our lives will be eternal."

Will I live forever?

“Yes, of course!” Igor nodded kindly.

"Really?" Star-Lord gradually became excited.

“That’s right, as long as the light remains, but you must know, Peter, that we have a great responsibility. Only we can reshape the universe, only we can influence its destiny and guide it onto the right path!”

"Wow, that's so cool, what do we do?"

Ego was pleased with Star-Lord's reaction and waved his hand, saying, "Peter, come with me."

The two returned to the original hall and stood in front of an oval projection device. Ego continued to brainwash Star-Lord:
"Now you need to start changing your attitude towards life."

Everything around you, including that girl, is temporary; only we are eternal.

Star-Lord asked doubtfully, "Won't eternity be boring?"

“If you have a goal, you won’t be like this. That’s why you came here.” Ego tapped Star-Lord’s forehead and transferred some of his memories to him.

The next moment, Star-Lord was completely lost in the vast memories of the Celestials.

At this moment, his perception of the Earth's core brain was incredibly close, as if he were that brain, as if he were the supreme god!

At this moment, Igor became excited; at this stage, his plan was almost complete.

He projected models of planets into the air using energy and said to Star-Lord:

"Look, this is my expansion plan, this is my goal, and now it's your goal too."

Over the past thousands of years, I have implanted thousands of my clones on thousands of planets.

I want to realize the ultimate meaning of life: reproduction and survival. All life will be replaced, and in the end, only we will remain!

However, I have a problem: the power of one god is not enough to do all this.

The power required to supply the growth of thousands of clones would be an astronomical figure.

So I chose to combine my genes with those of other races in an attempt to give birth to a child with the genes of a god.

Now, Peter, with you, nothing is a problem. For the first time in my life, it's you, Peter, who has shown me that I'm truly not fighting alone!

Star-Lord was convinced, but he still hesitated and asked, "But this will kill all my friends..."

"That was all due to your human side. Now that side is useless. Peter, you must remember that you are a god!"

"And what about my mother? You are a goddess, did you ever truly love her?"

Igor was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a pained expression on his face:
"Yes, I really love her. My little lily knows the lyrics to every song on my radio. I've gone back to Earth to see her three times, and I know that if I go back to see her again, I'll never be able to leave her again."

That expansion plan shattered the meaning of my life, so I had to make an unavoidable choice, and the most painful thing was putting the tumor into her brain.

The last sentence struck Star-Lord like a thunderclap, completely pulling him out of the vast memories of the Celestials.

He was initially slightly bewildered, but then an overwhelming rage engulfed him:

"Wait, what did you say?"

But Ego hadn't yet realized Star-Lord's specific situation, and said indifferently:

“Okay, I know this sounds terrible, but…”

Before he could finish speaking, Star-Lord picked up his twin pistols and fired wildly, shattering Ego's body into pieces. However, only the energy veins beneath were exposed; there was no bleeding.

Ego was baffled by Star-Lord's behavior: "You're overestimating yourself."

Star-Lord's reason was completely consumed by rage. He roared, "You killed my mother!"

But after being offended by Star-Lord, Ego showed even more anger than Star-Lord:
"I've worked so hard to help you and mold you into the perfect person, and this is how you repay me?"
You need to mature a bit more. We could have joined forces, but I think you'd better serve as a battery for my divine power for the next thousand years!

With a heavy swing of his arm, an energy tentacle emerged from behind Star-Lord, lunging towards him and attempting to pierce through his body.

Star-Lord was clearly caught off guard, but just as he was about to be pierced by the energy tentacles, a figure appeared out of nowhere beside him and stopped the energy tentacles with a single index finger!
