He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 342 The Battle of Acting Skills (Second Update)

"What's going on? Why are you all staring at Quill?"

As Li Chuan spoke, Rocket noticed that Wanda, Gamora, and Nebula all looked at Star-Lord at the same time.

"Because I was taken away from Earth by Yondu 23 years ago, and if I remember correctly, Yondu took only me with him back then."

And I certainly didn't see my father when I was a child.

Star-Lord frowned and said:

"But why didn't Yondu send me to Ego?"

"Because he accidentally discovered that all the children he sent to Ego had died, he hid your existence from Ego and kept you on his spaceship to raise you slowly."

Li Chuan explained truthfully.

"Okay, I always thought he arrested me because he needed a skinny kid to help him steal things."

Star-Lord reminisced about the more than twenty years he had spent with Yondu, a hint of relief creeping into his eyes. But then he pursed his lips:

"I never imagined that the perfect man my mother spoke of, my biological father, was actually a planet, and that he never loved my mother, but only sought so-called power."

I feel so sorry for my mother; she loved him so much!

"You're wrong about that. When Igor was with your mother, he did fall in love with her and even considered giving up his original goal to stay on Earth and live with your mother."

But later he still chose his own goal. In order to no longer be affected by your mother, he even implanted a tumor in your mother's brain, causing her to pass away.

Li Chuan revealed the final truth.

"Quail, your father is no human being. Oh, he never was."

Rocket responded angrily upon hearing this.

When Star-Lord heard that his mother was killed by Ego, he almost exploded.

"He dared to kill my mother! I will kill him with my own hands!"

Seeing this, Gamora got up and walked to Star-Lord's side, patting him on the shoulder to comfort him, then asked Li Chuan:

"According to what you're saying, Igor must be incredibly strong. Can you defeat him?"

"To be honest, with my current strength, I still can't beat Igor, even with Wanda's help."

Li Chuan shook his head.

His overall strength is indeed very strong. Wanda might be even stronger than him when she goes all out, but overall she still hasn't reached the level of the Skyfather, that is, the level of Odin and the Ancient One.

Ego, as a planet that has lived for millions of years, although not a regular member of the Celestials and being a defective reborn entity, is definitely on par with Odin and the Ancient One in terms of strength.

Even a small clone of it could destroy the entire fleet of the technologically advanced Sovereign Empire with a wave of its hand, and the power of its main planet was even more terrifying.

However, Li Chuan knew that compared to the real Celestials, Igor, this defective product, had a very fatal weakness.

That is Ego's brain, hidden inside the planet. His brain has extremely weak defenses and can be destroyed by even a powerful bomb. If we can find Ego's brain, we can kill him.

"If we can't even beat you, what's the point of us going?"

When Li Chuan said that neither he nor Wanda were a match for Igor, everyone was stunned.

Putting Wanda aside, they had witnessed firsthand how strong Li Chuan was. He withstood the main guns of the Dark Star ship without sustaining a scratch and single-handedly wiped out an entire fleet led by Ronan.

With such terrifying strength, they were no match for Igor. What use are these small fry? Aren't they just courting death?

Li Chuan, however, appeared quite composed:

"This will depend on everyone's acting skills. If our acting is up to par, then we can easily kill Ego and save the entire galaxy this time."

"Acting skills?"

Gamora and the others were completely dumbfounded upon hearing this answer.

How did this get linked to acting skills again? Does being a good actor make it easy to kill Ego? These are two completely unrelated things.

"Yes, it's all about acting. Quill is the only child who inherited the power of the God of Ego. When we arrive on Ego, he will definitely unlock the power of the God of Ego for you and invite you to join him in the great cause of assimilating the Milky Way."

All you have to do is agree to stall for time until we deal with the other one, who is the only child besides you who has survived all these years, your half-sister Mantis.

She knew where Igor's weaknesses lay, and she also had the ability to put Igor into a short-term sleep.

With your divine power, Mandis's hypnotic abilities, and the combined efforts of all of us, we will naturally be able to defeat Ego and save the entire galaxy.

Therefore, the most important thing then is acting skills; we can't let Igor discover our true purpose beforehand.

Li Chuan looked at Star-Lord and laid out all the details of his entire plan.

In the original storyline, Ego was killed mainly because of Star-Lord and Mendis's abilities; otherwise, given Ego's strength, Groot Jr. would not have been able to plant the bomb.

Although the timeline has been moved forward by a few years, which may cause various butterfly effects, with him and Wanda working together, and Star-Lord and Mantis cooperating, there shouldn't be any major problems.

If we really can't handle it, we can just run away.

He and Wanda together might not be able to defeat Ego, but they could still manage to escape with Star-Lord and the others.

Igor's main planet can't catch up with them; if they dare send a clone to chase them, they'll be annihilated.

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll make this guy pay for my mother's death!"

Star-Lord immediately nodded in agreement.

Gamora and Nebula had no objections, and Rocket and Groot also expressed their support. He still needed Li Chuan to help him find the Supreme Evolution to take revenge, so he naturally wanted to do his best.

"A new side quest has been added. Please check your quest log."

Just as everyone agreed to Li Chuan's plan, he heard the side quest notification sound again.

Open the panel and quickly scroll to the side quests section.

"Side quest: Defeat Ego and stop him from completing his plan to assimilate planets in the galaxy. Reward: Three years of Small World Time."

"Three years, this seems to be the most they've ever given."

Seeing the generous mission rewards, Li Chuan was overjoyed.

The reason he didn't go to Ego Planet himself and forcibly take Mantis away using spatial magic, instead of bringing Star-Lord and the others along, was to trigger a side quest and obtain rewards—killing two birds with one stone.

He has now gradually figured out some of the patterns in how panel tasks are triggered.

"By the way, don't tell Drax about this after he wakes up. Knowing his personality, he definitely won't be able to keep it from him, and Igor will see through it."

At the end of the meeting, Li Chuan gave everyone a special instruction.

It's practically impossible to expect Drax to follow the plan without revealing anything.

Actually, Star-Lord isn't reliable either, but the plan would be very troublesome without him.
