American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Chapter 156 Waiting for the Harvest

Moreover, Interest and Rocket Raccoon even have the knack for counterattacking the Sovereign's fighter jets.

The two sides went back and forth, creating quite a lively scene.

Every battle in the universe is incredibly dangerous.

Although Lynn's fighter jet performance was quite average, he easily dodged all of Rocket Raccoon's counterattacks with his excellent reflexes and kept a tight grip on his opponent.

"Damn it! Can you even do this?!"

Another bumpy ride ensued, and Star-Lord couldn't help but complain frantically from the side.

Rocket Raccoon also looked very unhappy.

"Shut your damn mouth!"

"There was a fighter pilot who was really tough on me; I couldn't shake him off!"

"Damn it! The left wing of the spaceship has been hit, we're going to crash."

On the other side, when Lynn saw that he had hit Star-Lord and the others' spaceship, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He only made a slight move, how come the Rocket Raccoons couldn't hold on?

It's important to know that the fighter jet Lynn was piloting wasn't particularly high-performing, being a mass-produced version by the Sovereigns. While Star-Lord and his crew always seemed penniless, their spaceship was definitely among the most advanced in the universe.

Especially after helping Xandar resolve their troubles, Xandar went so far as to use the entire planet's resources to upgrade Star-Lord's ship as a token of gratitude.

Without a doubt, based solely on the data on paper, Star-Lord's spaceship could easily crush Lynn's drone.

Lynn hadn't expected that just playing around with them would be enough to overwhelm Star-Lord and the others.

Thinking this, Lynn couldn't help but turn around and glance at the Ancient One.

Gu Yi was also observing the situation on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly and sigh. Looking into Gu Yi's eyes, Lynn suddenly felt a little guilty.

If Star-Lord and his crew were intercepted here, it's uncertain whether they would even be able to meet Ego as originally planned.

If Star-Lord and his crew's ship were to crash, the entire group would likely perish in space.

Unless the Ancient One personally intervenes to rescue them.

However, that would definitely expose the Ancient One and Lynn's purpose.

Lynn then made a mistake, allowing the Rocket Raccoons' counterattack to easily hit him.

"Hahahaha, die!"

Rocket Raccoon gave the spaceship behind him a sharp middle finger before launching into a leap.

Rocket Raccoons had no idea that they were able to escape only because Lynn let them get away with it.

However, their destination was quickly locked onto by Sovereign fighters, so even after making an interstellar jump, they still couldn't shake off the Sovereign's pursuit.

Moreover, their spaceship was hit by Lynn and suffered great damage.

Just when they were in dire straits, a streamlined spaceship appeared before them.

On the spaceship stood a white-haired man.

With a mere wave of his hand, the man unleashed a massive surge of lightning power that enveloped the entire universe.

In an instant, the Sovereign fleet was completely wiped out, not a single one survived. Everyone was stunned by the sight before them, except for Lynn and the Ancient One.

While Ayesha was keeping an eye on the situation on the battlefield, she was also paying attention to Lynn and the Ancient One's expressions.

Gu Yi and Lynn exchanged a glance, confirming that this was the goal they were looking for.

After getting off the controller, Lynn went to the Ancient One's side and asked her a question.

"If your purpose in bringing me out here is him, then why not just take action directly?"

"This guy is cunning. He's afraid of death, and he's very good at disguising himself. His true form is very well hidden."

"If he hadn't revealed himself, I wouldn't have been able to find where his true form was hiding."

"The Ancient One said calmly."

"亍".

Seeing the disappointment in Lynn's eyes, Gu Yi glanced at him.

"What's wrong, are your hands itching?"

Lynn shook her head slightly.

"It's not that I'm itching to do it, it's just that I'm getting impatient thinking about having to wait so long."

"If you ask me, we should just take action and kill him outright."

Gu Yi smiled.

"If you don't mind being resented by those people, I don't care."

After thinking about it, Lynn shook his head and gave up.

Lynn didn't consider himself a good person, but he wasn't an irredeemably evil one either.

Ultimately, although Star-Lord and his gang are a bit mischievous, they are all good people at heart.

There's no reason or need for them to hold a grudge against you just because you find it troublesome.

Before recognizing Ego's true colors, Star-Lord genuinely regarded him as his dearest father.

If Lynn were to kill Ego, it would be a complete act of revenge for the murder of his father.

It will definitely be a fight to the death between the two sides.

What was Lynn's motive for making that move?

Although he didn't care about the resentment of this group of people, since their strength was extremely weak and they couldn't have any impact on Lynn at all.

But Lynn's intervention not only meant fighting Ego, but also incurring their wrath for life.

Why bother.

Anyway, Star-Lord, who has killed his father, will take action on his own; he just needs to sit back and reap the benefits.

Besides, they're a group of good people, and rather simple-minded; they're definitely a bunch of excellent tools.

Especially Star-Lord, that idiot, he's got absolutely no brains.

If you can exploit their weaknesses and promise Star-Lord some insignificant things like fame and fortune, you can motivate these people to work for you. Why not?

Although Lynn and the Ancient One lowered their voices, they did not deliberately hide their conversation.

Ayesha, being nearby, naturally overheard their conversation.

She had been doubting herself, unsure whether her choice was right.

Especially when she saw how powerful the man who stepped in to help Star-Lord was, she wavered even more.

From the moment they met, Ayesha sensed a tremendous power hidden within the Lord.

This is a person with noble blood.

If nothing unexpected happens, the man who stepped in to help Star-Lord is Star-Lord's bloodline.

If we could get Star-Lord's help, we might find a way to deal with the Supreme Evolution.

Listening to Lynn and Gu Yi's conversation, Ayesha realized that the two of them didn't take the man seriously, which put her at ease.

"Sorry, I've made you two laugh."

Ayesha came to Lynn's side and spoke softly.

"It's because we're not strong enough that others stole our things."

"They even turned around and destroyed our fleet."

Ayesha made a troubled expression.

It has to be said that compared to their first meeting, Ayesha was much more human now, which made Lynn pay more attention to her.

Regardless of how much of Ayesha's demeanor was acted, it was at least pleasing to the eye.

"So what do you want?"

Lynn stared at Ayesha's face with great interest.

"Want me to take them all out for you?"

Ayesha did not continue what Lynn was saying.

Although Ayesha didn't know Lynn's true strength, she could tell that Lynn and his companion had a strange fondness for Star-Lord and his group.

Getting them to help take down these people is pure fantasy.

Since Ayesha already knew the outcome, why would she say it and make a fool of herself?

Ultimately, the main reason they hired the Guardians of the Galaxy was that Ayesha was interested in Star-Lord's bloodline and wanted to cultivate a relationship with him.

But when they learned that the Ancient One would be coming, Ayesha's desire for Star-Lord wasn't as intense.

With better options available, who would care about Star-Lord?

"Since you're new here, let me show you around Sovetlin."

Ayesha said softly, a hint of longing hidden deep in her eyes.

The longer Ayesha spent with Lynn, the more she could sense the immense and terrifying power hidden within him.

In particular, some of these powers are so potent that even a slight perception is enough to feel their earth-shattering aura.

At this moment, Ayesha, standing beside Lynn, became increasingly aware of this aura.

High Priestess Ayesha's Affection Level: 6!

Looking into Ayesha's eyes, Lynn knew at a glance that her intentions were not pure.

Considering Ayesha's attitude towards Star-Lord in the original comics, and how she even considered discussing history with him at one point...

Lynn immediately understood what Ayesha was thinking.

For Aisha, it didn't matter if she couldn't get Lynn's protection.

Being able to obtain one of Lynn's seeds and then use that seed to raise a powerful child would be enough to satisfy her needs.

She believed that with their outstanding genetic technology and Lynn's extraordinary bloodline, the child they conceived would be enough to free the entire planet Sovelin from the control of the Supreme Evolution!

Lynn chuckled and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Coincidentally, I am also very interested in the history of the Sovereigns."

The two sides were like turtles eyeing green beans, they just hit it off.

Gu Yi's expression turned strange upon seeing this.

She never expected that her original plan was to bring Lynn along to get some benefits, but this kid actually wanted to take advantage of her.

With a slight sigh, Gu Yi tactfully left.

He claimed he wanted to experience the beautiful natural scenery of Sovetlin.

A moment later, in Ayesha's bedroom.

The palace was empty except for Lynn and Ayesha.

Perhaps because it was an informal occasion, Ayesha finally took off the very ugly crown from her head.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down her back, which at least made her seem more approachable, while also exuding a touch of languid charm.

It has to be said that Ayesha is much more pleasing to the eye now than before.

Ayesha seemed to be genuinely introducing the history of Sovereignty to Lynn, recounting it from its very beginning.

As expected of the High Priestess of Sovereignty, Ayesha's recounting of Sovereignty's history was like singing an opera.

It was truly a beautiful and engaging story.

Lynn wasn't in a hurry and listened with great interest as Ayesha recounted the history of Sovereignty.

He wanted to see just how long Ayesha could keep going.

"...It is precisely thanks to the rapid breakthroughs in gene technology that the development of the Sovereign people has entered a completely new era."

"After that, all the Sovereigns spoke in the incubation chambers, and the genes of each Sovereign were carefully designed."

"Traditional and outdated breeding methods have become history recorded in textbooks."

Lin Mian nodded in agreement.

"How is it? Our distinguished guest seems quite disdainful of our breeding methods?"

It must be said that the Sovereigns were indeed a very arrogant group of people.

Even though she needed Lynn's help, Ayesha was still somewhat dissatisfied when Lynn showed his disdain for genetic design.

After all, this is the technology that the Sovereigns are most proud of.

The Sovereigns believe that they are the most perfect and noble species in the world, having been genetically engineered.

Ayesha naturally couldn't stand Lynn's attitude.

Since Ayesha asked, Lynn didn't mind chatting with her for a bit.

Are there perfect species in the world?

"Or rather, what is your definition of the perfect species?"

"The Sovereigns are the most perfect species."

Ayesha said with great arrogance.

"Really? Does perfection mean the most powerful?"

"certainly."

Ayesha did not hesitate.

"Then why aren't the Sovereigns the most powerful race in the universe?"

Ayesha remained silent.

"In my opinion, nothing in the world is perfect."

"Or rather, perfection itself is a paradox."

"A race with stronger individuals is bound to be few in number; for every gain, there is bound to be a loss."

"If genetic design could determine everything, then the most powerful race in the universe would undoubtedly be the one with the most advanced genetic technology. But what is the reality?"

Lynn smiled without saying a word.

But Ayesha understood what Lynn was saying.

To be precise, almost none of the most advanced civilizations in the universe reproduce through genetic design.

"I don't understand, why?"

Ayesha looked completely bewildered.

She seemed genuinely a little confused.

Although Ayesha is also a product of genetic design, her intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary races, and her learning ability is extraordinary.

As the high priestess of the entire planet, she must be the most learned and knowledgeable person on the entire planet Sovereign.

However, due to the education she received from childhood, she also found herself in a huge information cocoon.

Since they had nothing better to do than chat idly, Lynn didn't mind teasing Ayesha a bit.

"What do you believe represents the potential of a race?"

Ayesha seemed to have been asked a question by Lynn, and frowned in deep thought.

Lynn did not give Ayesha a chance to think.

"In my view, the potential of a race lies in the unknowns it holds."

"Unknown nature?"

A hint of confusion crossed Ayesha's noble face.

"That's right, the unknown, the uncertainty, that's where the potential of a race lies."

"Genetic design seems wonderful, as it can eliminate those so-called imperfect genes."

"But can you guarantee that the gene you remove is definitely the defective one?"

Lynn said calmly.

"Those genetic defects that you think are completely unnecessary may actually play an extremely important role at certain crucial moments."

Just like the genes for certain diseases in humans, these genes could have helped humans survive better in ancient times.

However, as human living conditions have improved in modern times, these genes can trigger a variety of diseases.

Therefore, whether a gene is good or bad is not absolute; it depends on the living environment of that race.

"In my opinion, the Sovereigns are like a stagnant pool. Although your technology is still developing, your society has stagnated for thousands of years and has not changed at all."

Ayesha fully agreed with Lynn's first statement, but she expressed great confusion about the second one.

"Has your social system evolved to a point of perfection?"

"If it's imperfect and no changes are made, what is it if not stagnant water?"

Lynn said without any politeness.

"In my opinion, if you continue to develop like this, you will eventually just rot and stink in this stagnant pool."

"Yeah?"

Ayesha nodded slightly.

He originally just wanted to chat casually with Lynn to start a conversation.

But I never expected to learn so much from Lynn.

Lynn never expected that what he had just made up to fool Ayesha would be regarded as gospel.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength and status.

If it were just an ordinary human standing here, daring to spout such nonsense at Ayesha, he would probably have been thrown out and hacked to death by Ayesha long ago.

"In that case, I'm very curious."

"I would appreciate your help in learning the history in our textbooks."

"Learn history? I know nothing about the history of you Sovereigns, how can I help you learn history?"

Looking at Ayesha's face, Lynn let out a long sigh.

"Ah—you're talking about the history of reproductive methods—"

While Lynn and Ayesha were diligently studying and catching up on their history lessons, Star-Lord finally reunited with his father.

However, their ship was hit by Lynn and was severely damaged.

Therefore, Star-Lord's ship needs to undergo a period of repairs before it can continue its journey.

Therefore, the Guardians of the Galaxy ultimately decided to split into two groups.

Rocket Raccoon and Groot stayed behind to repair the spaceship and, incidentally, to look after Gamora's sister Nebula.

Incidentally, Nebula was the reward Ayesha gave to Star-Lord and the others.

Nebula came to Sovereign to steal their energy batteries, but was easily captured by the Sovereigns.

Knowing the connection between Nebula and Gamora, the Sovereigns handed Nebula over to the Guardians of the Galaxy.

On the way to Ego, Star-Lord was very confused by his suddenly appearing father.

There was unease, anticipation, but mostly confusion.

Star-Lord had no idea what this new father meant to him.

However, with Gamora's reassurance, his emotions quickly calmed down.

At worst, we'll just kill this old geezer. What's the big deal?

Following Ego, Star-Lord and the others flew towards his planet.
