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

Chapter 157 Love? An ironic word!

Lynn shifted her slightly stiff body.

How should I put it? No wonder it's a product of genetic design; its stamina is amazing, and its flexibility is also high.

Both Lynn and Ayesha were very satisfied with the history lesson that lasted all night.

Seeing that Ayesha was still asleep, Lynn swayed as she walked out of the palace gate.

After circling around the palace, Lynn quickly spotted the Ancient One at a high vantage point.

He approached the Ancient One, who was sitting cross-legged, meditating with her eyes closed.

"So you actually came to see the scenery? You didn't just sit here all night, did you?"

Gu Yi opened his eyes and gazed into the distance.

"Don't you think the scenery here is beautiful?"

Lynn glanced around and curled her lip in disdain.

"They look perfect, but they are all products of careful design and have no natural beauty whatsoever."

"You don't actually think something like this is beautiful, do you?"

Gu Yi smiled slightly.

"You have a prejudice against the Sovereigns."

"Does this mean that man-made designs are always inferior to the evolution of nature?"

Lynn shook her head slightly.

"Natural evolution is often full of surprises, and situations that are unexpected by humankind may occur."

"Man-made designs may seem beautiful, but they lack the element of unexpected surprise, so they can't compare."

While they appeared to be talking about the scenery, they were actually discussing their views on their future.

"Whether it's man-made design or natural evolution, each has its own advantages."

Gu Yi had no intention of continuing the discussion on this topic.

"I've located him. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"

"Now?"

Lynn nodded slightly, then asked.

Is now a suitable time?

A smile played on Gu Yi's lips.

How do you know when the right time is?

Lynn rolled her eyes.

That's enough.

"Just say what you want to ask. There's no need for all this messy probing."

Lynn was somewhat helpless.

I don't know why, but the Ancient One didn't have such a strong sense of curiosity before.

But during this trip, Lynn discovered that the Ancient One was becoming increasingly curious about him.

"Just consider it satisfying the curiosity of a dying man like me."

Gu Yi smiled faintly.

Lynn ignored the Ancient One's strange smile, patted his butt, and stood up.

"Shall we go take a look now?"

"Shouldn't you let your sweetheart know?"

Gu Yi turned her head and glanced at it.

Lynn shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.

"Anyway, I'll be back later, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, so it doesn't matter if I stay a little longer."

Despite saying that, Lynn still found a maid and greeted her.

After resolving Star-Lord's father's matter, Lynn will return to confront Ayesha.

Whether or not Ayesha will accept her protection and become a tool in her hands will be her own choice.

As for why he didn't confront Ayesha directly now, the reason is simple: Lynn hasn't yet produced any evidence to prove his strength.

Ayesha sought Lynn's protection in order to resist the control of the Supreme Evolution.

In this situation, Lynn must either possess extremely strong abilities or have a very large and powerful force.

Otherwise, how can you persuade the other party to submit to your evil ways?

But how do you prove your ability?

We can't exactly have Lynn give Ayesha a beating right there in the middle of the day.

Therefore, at this moment, the energy core of the god Ego is naturally the best proof.

Is the Supreme Evolution powerful?

In the original comic, Supreme Evolution undoubtedly lives up to its name.

However, the highest level of evolution in this universe doesn't have that high prestige.

Although the Supreme Evolution possesses a vast power, it does not actually have very high combat capabilities.

For a character of the Supreme Evolution's caliber, Lynn wouldn't even need to lift a finger; Wanda alone could easily wipe out all of the Supreme Evolution's forces.

When one's power reaches a certain level, it becomes less important for someone of Lynn's stature on the main battlefield.

One person against an entire nation is just the most basic tactic.

No matter how powerful and arrogant the Supreme Evolution is, it would not dare to attack a true god.

Because a god of that level of power could easily annihilate an entire army of supreme evolution.

Even an entire planet.

The number of people is meaningless to those who are powerful.

The god Ego is an existence of this level.

Even if Ego is only among the lowest-ranking gods, he is still not someone that the Supreme Evolution can provoke.

If Lynn can bring back Ego's core, it will be the best proof of his strength.

It's just a matter of spending some time.

The Ancient One nodded slightly, then opened a portal in front of Lynn.

After stepping through the portal, Lynn turned around, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Where is this? It's obviously not on a planet."

What appeared before Lynn was a cramped cabin.

This is clearly the cargo hold of a spaceship.

"The gods still possess some basic strength, so don't underestimate them."

Gu Yi shook his head slightly.

"If I open the portal directly on him, he will definitely discover our presence."

"We might have to fight him head-on then."

Gu Yi turned her head and stared at Lynn with great interest.

"If you'd like, I wouldn't mind letting you have a match with him."

"Of course I definitely won't get involved; it's too much trouble."

Lynn pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

The next second, the two of them left the spaceship and entered outer space.

With Lynn's current abilities, passing through a hatch is a very simple matter.

Standing in the universe, Lynn looked around and quickly spotted the planet beneath his feet.

"Is this the legendary god?"

Lynn stared at the beautiful planet with great interest.

He could sense that the planet contained a vast amount of energy.

Even from Lynn's current perspective, the potential contained in this energy is quite astonishing.

If he can unleash all of this energy, his combat power might not be much weaker than Lynn's.

"As expected of a god, this power is truly terrifying."

Hearing Lynn say this, Gu Yi scoffed disdainfully.

"Immense power? Ha, what use is it?"

The Ancient One held the gods in utter contempt.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as Odin or Thor.

Gu Yi only looked down on beings of Igor's caliber.

Don't misunderstand, Ego's strength, when placed among the gods, is considered to be among the weaker ones.

However, compared to other life forms in the universe, this force is so immense that it can induce despair.

But instead of making good use of their immense power, they used it to do despicable things.

Not to mention that Igor himself was a coward who feared death.

Under these circumstances, it was really difficult for the Ancient One to give Ego a pleasant look.

If it weren't for the fact that Ego is Star-Lord's father, and that the Ancient One was unwilling to interfere too much with future developments, it would be a different story.

Otherwise, the Ancient One would have crushed Ego when he planted that seed on Earth.

Anyone who dared to plot against Earth would have been reduced to ashes by the Ancient One long ago.

Regardless of whether the other party is human, alien, god, or demon from any dimension.

If the Ancient One catches you, she'll take off your hood!

"indeed."

Lynn strongly agreed with the Ancient One's statement.

Regardless of what Ego went through, it's clear from his actions that he was definitely not a normal life.

Wanting to rule the universe, having the ambition to rule the universe, is somewhat understandable.

But Lynn simply couldn't understand the other party's method of unifying the universe.

They actually planted seeds on all the inhabited planets and then used that to control them.

Regardless of the feasibility of this plan, or whether his so-called seeds and clones can devour and control the entire planet.

Just by saying that he still needs his own offspring, it's clear that Igor has never focused on developing himself throughout his trillion-year lifespan.

If someone is willing to dedicate themselves to developing themselves, over such a long period of time, they would probably have already grown to a terrifying level.

If he had focused even a little on himself, he wouldn't be such a useless person.

Just as Lynn and the Ancient One stood in the universe, commenting on Star-Lord's father, Star-Lord also discovered his father's ugly face on the other side.

"How dare you refuse me!"

"You killed my mother!"

Ego's plan was about to succeed, but he became too complacent and, during his conversation with Star-Lord, inadvertently revealed that he had killed Star-Lord's mother.

Upon learning that Ego was responsible for his mother's cancer, Star-Lord suddenly came to his senses.

How dare you refuse me?

Without hesitation, Ego raised his hand and two blue energy tentacles pierced through Star-Lord's chest.

He wasn't particularly concerned about Star-Lord's resistance.

Even if Star-Lord used his gun to shatter the human body he had created.

One's true nature is the planet beneath his feet; this human body is merely something he created by condensing energy.

Even if it had several large holes punched in its body, or even if its entire energy body were destroyed, it would have no effect on itself.

It's simply a matter of spending more energy to recreate a body.

Although Ego wanted to maintain his false and fragile kinship with Star-Lord through lies.

For Ego, having a natural offspring who would obey him without question was the best thing that could happen.

But if Star-Lord wants to rebel against him, Ego wouldn't mind using some coercive methods to make Star-Lord obey him.

No matter how much he is a disgrace to the gods, no matter how much Lynn looks down on him, Ego is still a true god in the end.

His level of strength is far beyond what someone like Star-Lord could handle.

Not to mention that Star-Lord only inherited half of his Celestial genes, and he hasn't even developed them yet.

Therefore, controlling Star-Lord is as easy as waving a hand to Ego.

If Star-Lord is willing to pretend he knows nothing, or if he can suddenly realize his mistake and join him in controlling the universe.

Igor didn't mind giving him some false affection and allowing him to wield some power under his control.

But since Star-Lord doesn't know what's good for him, Ego naturally won't show any mercy.

Controlling Star-Lord and using him as a power source wouldn't have any impact whatsoever.

Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, Igor did not anticipate the appearance of someone who would cause trouble.

Star-Lord stared in astonishment as Yondu and Rocket Raccoon crashed into him in their spaceship.

"What are you two doing here?"

"No time to explain, get on the spaceship."

Star-Lord scrambled onto the spaceship.

Logically speaking, Rocket Raccoon should have no way of knowing what happened to Star-Lord.

Moreover, their spaceship was still broken, so even if they found out, they wouldn't be able to get there in time.

High Priestess Ayesha, on the other hand, was busy studying history with Lynn and had no time to hire Yondu to eliminate the Guardians of the Galaxy.

So no matter how you look at it, Yondu will never encounter Rocket Raccoon, much less appear in this place with Rocket Raccoon.

But in reality, this matter is also related to Lynn.

Lynn knew perfectly well that without Yondu's intervention, Star-Lord would have been turned into a human battery by Ego.

But Lynn was too lazy to get involved in the matter between Star-Lord and his father.

Ayesha happened to be curious about the relationship between Lynn and Star-Lord, so when Lynn and Ayesha were studying history, she casually told her that she and Star-Lord actually had no relationship whatsoever.

Rocket Raccoon's act of stealing the Sovereign's batteries already made Ayesha very unhappy.

Furthermore, the Sovereigns are known for their vengeful nature, so during their free time studying history with Lynn,

Ayesha also issued an arrest warrant.

Arrest warrants for Star-Lord and others.

After thinking for a moment, Lynn had Ayesha include Star-Lord's father's information on the list.

The Guardians of the Galaxy have already made a name for themselves in the universe.

To be honest, there aren't many people who dare to mess with them.

So even though Ayesha offered a high reward, not many people were willing to take on the task.

Ayesha didn't expect that a single bounty could completely destroy the Guardians of the Galaxy.

To put it bluntly, he was just trying to cause Star-Lord some trouble.

But after Lynn had Ayesha add that message, it immediately attracted Yondu's attention.

Others may not know, but Yondu knows exactly what kind of person Star-Lord's father was.

So he readily accepted the bounty.

However, Yon, who followed the trail, did not find Star-Lord. Instead, he was betrayed by his subordinates who had long disliked him.

After learning about Star-Lord's current situation from Rocket Raccoon, Yondu, having resolved the betrayal issue, brought Rocket Raccoon to this planet.

Lynn felt much more relaxed after discovering Yondu's arrival.

Although the plot has been significantly altered by his influence, since the final outcome won't pose a major problem, there's no need for him to intervene further.

To be honest, Lynn had no reason to help Star-Lord.

If we rashly intervene to help Star-Lord break free from Ego's control, it will likely only arouse suspicion from Ego.

Since things are developing as he predicted, Lynn decided to remain on the sidelines and observe.

Just wait and reap the benefits.

But what happened next was somewhat unexpected for Lynn.

Igor recovered much faster than anyone had imagined.

No one had a chance to escape.

Everyone was firmly controlled by Ego's energy tentacles.

"Okay, very good."

Igor sneered.

Its pale blue humanoid body slowly recovered.

"How dare you refuse me?"

"Before I completely dominate the universe, I might want to find some small amusement."

Ego controlled his energy tentacles and dumped Yondu in front of him.

"Ah—I remember you."

"It was I who asked you to find my child in the first place."

"After so many collaborations, I never expected that all you would send me would be useless junk."

"The last betrayal took away my most precious treasure."

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Yondu gently closed his eyes, then opened them again.

He ignored Ego's sneer and turned to look at Star-Lord seriously.

"This guy doesn't deserve to be your father at all; he's at best your biological father."

"He has no feelings for you, and he can't give you what you want."

Yondu closed his eyes.

"Even though you hate me, and even though a lot has happened over the years, I have never regretted taking you away back then."

Yondu closed his eyes.

"Okay, very good."

Ego watched Star-Lord with great interest.

He seemed to understand something.

"It seems I misjudged you."

"You and your disgusting, weak mother make me want to vomit."

"What you want is exactly the same as what your ridiculous mother wants."

"You actually dare to hope for love?"

"What an ironic word! Love?! Hahahaha!"

Igor laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Very good, very good. You guys actually managed to provide me with such an interesting scene before I rule the universe."

"Ah—and you too."

With that, Igor pulled Gamora in front of him.

"I can sense that you have a special kind of feeling for this female creature."

"Who do you think I should start with?"

Igor laughed maliciously.

"So, the choice is now in your hands."

With a wave of his hand, Ego teleported Gamora and Yondu to Star-Lord's front.

"Time is of the essence; you only have 10 seconds."

"You can choose who dies first."

"If you haven't made a choice by the time the countdown ends, I'll have to send them all to their deaths!"

"Igor!"

Star-Lord roared and struggled to break free from the tentacles.

"I'll never let you go, even if it kills me!"

"Very good, very good. I really like your expression right now. This is my child."

Igor smiled gently.

But his gentle smile looked undeniably sarcastic. "With that kind of expression, let me see how you unleash the power of my bloodline."

"The countdown is almost over."
