Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 365 Mortal Star-Lord? No, Celestial Star-Lord! (First Update!)

God is my witness!

Hawke had thought Ego would be easy to kill, but he hadn't expected it to be this easy.

but……

Upon closer reflection, it all seems to make sense.

After all, life level is life level, and strength is strength.

Just like Mephisto.

He is indeed a dimensional god, but when Mephisto becomes ferocious, he can tear ordinary gods apart with his bare hands.

As for Igor?

Let's say that.

This is a god who, in the original storyline, could be killed by a bomb.

Yes.

bomb.

So Hawke knew from the start that Ego, a god who could be killed by a bomb in the original storyline, would be easy to kill. But after getting his hands on him, he realized that even knowing he was easy to kill was giving Ego too much credit.

In a word.

Once Igor's true form was exposed, he was like a lamb to the slaughter.

Hawke looked at Ego's true form and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a miracle you're still alive!"

"It's still an unbelievable miracle!"

Logically speaking, Ego has lived for quite some time, yet his body has no protective measures other than being encased in a shell that cannot be broken open by mortals with their bare hands.

Even if a cunning rabbit has three burrows, it should at least have one.

and so……

To prevent Ego from playing any tricks, Hawke teleported Star-Lord over directly.

then!

He made the final confirmation after using the fact that Star-Lord had inherited Ego's life energy.

The Igor before me is Igor's only true form.

Only this one, no other semicolon.

Hawke was somewhat dazed.

after all--

Fighting a celestial being felt much easier and more effortless to him than fighting a hydra.

Igor's brain tissue, which seemed to have been thoroughly abused, appeared to have been broken down by Hawke's words.

His face flushed red without his noticing.

It was a bright red.

It was a bright red.

Igor wants to self-destruct!

Hawke raised an eyebrow and tapped Ego's body with his fingertip once more.

A bang!
Having lost his body, Igor felt as if something had struck his head hard, causing him to see stars and feel dizzy.

"It's too late to self-destruct now!"

Hawk chuckled, then looked at Star-Lord, whom he had teleported to his side, and smiled slightly: "Peter, want to become a god?"

Star-Lord snapped out of his daze, first glancing at the Enterprise, a hundred kilometers away, then at the brain tissue in front of him, before looking up at Hawke with a bewildered expression.

"what?"

Do you want to become a god?

Hawke said again, smiling at Star-Lord: "You possess divine blood. I can help you become a god. Do you want that?"

He had just gone inside Ego's main body and had basically obtained everything he wanted.

As for Igor himself?

Hawke certainly wouldn't look favorably upon such a pathetic god.

But what is the meaning of time travel?

Change the plot.

and!

Come here.

and so……

He wouldn't mind helping Star-Lord become a true god if Star-Lord just said the word.

but!
After Star-Lord came to his senses, he seemed to see Ego lying in front of him, his brain tissue still breathing, and his disgust was undisguised.

"I'd rather die than become him."

He was initially very happy to learn that he had demigod blood.

But after learning the cause of his mother's death, he felt nothing but intense disgust for Igor.

Don't you want to become a god?

How can this be allowed?

I didn't even have that thought. It's fine if you don't want to become a god, but I've already had that thought. You think you can just say you don't want to anymore?

Hawke's lips curled into a smile.

"Gamora is Thanos's adopted daughter."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord instinctively looked at Hawke, who had spoken.

Hawke laughed and said, "Mortals may be afraid of Thanos, but gods aren't. So, Peter, are you sure you don't want to become a god?"

Star-Lord looked at Hawke's smiling face, thought of Gamora, and subconsciously swallowed.

"how should I do."

"It's very simple."

Upon hearing this, Hawk smiled broadly, then extended his right finger and tapped Star-Lord's forehead, the sound reaching Star-Lord's ears.

"If you die, that's all that matters."

"boom!"

Star-Lord's body exploded instantly, and then a ghostly blue soul left his body.

Hawk then stuffed Star-Lord's soul directly into Ego's body: "Kill him, and you'll be the new God."

Yes.

There's only one way for Star-Lord to become a Celestial: kill Ego. Then Star-Lord will be the new Celestial. But is Star-Lord willing to kill Ego?
The answer is yes.

Once again, never challenge the importance a child raised in a single-parent family places on his or her mother, the only one he depends on.

The moment Ego told Star-Lord that he had implanted cancer into his mother's brain, it was clear that Thanos was just a name, and Star-Lord was the real Thanos father.

Without the slightest hesitation, Star-Lord lunged at Ego the moment he saw him, his eyes turning red.

Hawke gasped as he looked at Ego's death.

next second.

Hawke snapped out of his daze and telepathically communicated with Star-Lord, who was in the brain tissue in front of him.

"Calm your mind!"

“Your life energy is inherited from Ego, so it will not reject you. What you need to do is let your thoughts fill every corner of it and completely replace Ego.”

"be quick."

"and many more!"

Star-Lord panicked upon hearing Hawke's voice: "I don't know how."

Hawke smiled upon hearing this.

"No, then just wait for it to shrink."

What happens if it shrinks?

"You're dead!"

"Wait, who dies?"

"Nonsense, of course it's you. Who else could it be but me?"

"Holy shit"

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord completely broke down, instinctively cursing Hawke while instinctively replacing Ego's rapidly dissipating thoughts with his own.

Hawke blocked out Star-Lord's barking, released his seven senses at that moment, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Even if a god is incompetent, he's still a god.

and so……

Hawke did want to help Star-Lord replace Ego and become the new Celestial, but not only because he wanted to change the plot. More importantly, he also wanted to take advantage of the process of Star-Lord replacing Ego to become the new Celestial and to once again experience his own Eighth Sense.

On the Enterprise, 100 kilometers away.

Gamora frowned, looking at Gwen: "Why are you helping Peter become the new God?"

Gwen, leaning back in her captain's chair, looked at Gamora and said with a smile, "My husband once said something like, 'Killing you is none of your business.' So, I can't answer the question you ask me why he did it."

Killing you is none of your business!

Such a strong murderous aura.

Gamora was startled by these words. She looked at Hawke's closed eyes and the brain tissue on the screen, took a deep breath, and looked at Gwen: "If anything happens to Peter, I will not let you off the hook."

Gwen made a shushing gesture towards Gamora.

Gamora frowned.

Gwen laughed and said, "Don't say that again. I don't mind, but my husband is very sensitive to being threatened. If he heard you say that, he would kill you."

While talking.

On the large screen, the brain tissue next to Hawke suddenly emitted a ghostly blue light.

Hawke slowly opened his eyes and telepathically instructed Star-Lord on how to guide Peter.

Immediately afterwards, a dark blue light, like a stream of light, burst forth from above the brain tissue, and then a figure formed entirely of dark blue energy slowly appeared.

The figure became clearer and clearer.

It's Star-Lord.

wrong.

It should be called the Celestial Star Lord.

"Wow!"

Celestial Star-Lord raised his hand, looking at the arm he was slowly forming with Celestial Energy, then at the universe he could see without any protective gear, and subconsciously took a deep breath: "Wait, does the universe have oxygen?"

Hawke laughed.

“You’re absorbing your own energy. Now, get down, and I’ll do you one last favor.”

"what?"

"Do you intend to follow Igor's example and spend tens of millions of years to continue condensing into a planet?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord detached from the brain tissue and, like Hawke, stood in mid-air beside him.

Tweet!
Behind Hawke, a fire phoenix appeared, its wings outstretched, and blazing phoenix fire burst forth from all sides of the brain tissue.

Well known.

The phoenix fire is not only the fire of rebirth, but also the fire of life.

As the phoenix fire blazed continuously, the brain tissue, as large as a star core, began to shrink and purify.

Under the watchful gaze of Star Lord, the enormous brain tissue gradually disappeared, replaced by a pendant.

A necklace pendant formed from brain tissue during the burning process.

Hawke withdrew the Phoenix Flame, and after Celestial Lord took the necklace pendant, which still looked rather large after being scorched, he said, "Alright, take good care of your true form. As long as your true form doesn't die, you are a god."

Upon hearing this, Star-Lord instinctively looked at Hawke.

What if you die?

"hehe."

Hawke listened to these words, glanced at Star-Lord with a smile but said nothing, then turned around and disappeared from the spot with a whoosh.

Seeing this, Star-Lord shouted "Wait!" and then, like a newborn god, swam towards the Enterprise, which was a hundred kilometers away.

Hawke, now back on the Enterprise, glanced at Star-Lord, who was swimming in space like a giant fat fish, and his lips twitched. He looked at Gwen and said, "I'm starting to regret helping him become a Celestial."

Gwen watched with amusement, then switched to a doggy-paddle style and shrugged: "I think it's quite fun."

Gamora instinctively covered her face.

Rocket Raccoon also covered his cheeks with his paws.

Yondu, watching Star-Lord doggy-paddle, said with a hint of reminiscence, "When he was little, no matter how I taught him to go swimming, he just couldn't get rid of this doggy-paddle habit."

Hawke watched as Star-Lord, the Celestial, was dog-paddling. Feeling that it would be dark by the time he finished, he shook his head, and with a thought, teleported Star-Lord directly to the Enterprise.

Boom!
Just as he was feeling more and more skilled at digging, Star Lord landed directly on the floor.

It's still in the dog-paddle position.
