Chapter 229: Chapter 229: In Their Eyes, This Is Called Adventure!
Lucas came out of Kamar-Taj just in time to see the whole Earth crumbling. Seeds of divine power appeared on the Earth, completely draining its energy.
"Time Reverse!"
Lucas raised his hand to activate the power of the Time stone, and the time of the entire Earth began to flow backward, soon returning to the state before the collapse.
In the chat group:
Howard Stark: Group Leader, what happened just now? Was there such a huge disaster in the original future?
Lucas: There was no such disaster in the original future, because it was stopped before it happened. It seems that because of my participation, some things have changed.
Sebastian Shaw: What is going on here? The power to make a planet collapse is definitely not something ordinary people can have.
Lucas: This is indeed not the power of ordinary people. This is the power of gods who are more powerful than the Asgardians. I told you before, right? The birth of mutants is related to the Celestial.
Sebastian Shaw: That is to say, this is the Celestial doing something? It is not surprising that they can create a powerful existence like mutants, and they have the power to destroy the planet.
Lucas: It's a bit inappropriate to say that the Celestial are doing things. It's just a Celestial who created this incident. It's a Celestial named Ego, whose body is a planet. He spreads the seeds of his divine power on various planets in the universe. He wants to use this to destroy many planets in the universe. After a chain reaction has occurred and the entire universe has collapsed, he will become the sole ruler of the entire universe.
Howard Stark: He wants to be the dimensional ruler of this universe?
Lucas: That's right!
Uchiha Madara: How was he stopped in the future? Why is he successful now?
Lucas: Ego couldn't realize his dream. He needed someone with the power of the gods to help him. In the case of being unable to find and believe in other gods, he chose to have offspring, hoping that his descendants would awaken the power of gods to help him.
Howard Stark: How can he give birth to offspring? The body of the guy is a planet!
Lucas: Like Dormammu, he can make avatars. His avatars travel to all corners of the universe and have children with women of countless races. But among his huge number of children, there is only one named Star-Lord who inherited his godly power.
Howard Stark: Group Leader, can you tell me the details? How he treats his family? I think there is something to this guy
Lucas: Can your focus be normal?
Sebastian Shaw: It is human nature to be curious, and it cannot be changed.
Lucas: That's right! If human beings could change their curious nature, the gossip department wouldn't exist. Well, since you are curious, I'll tell you. Ego is a ruthless guy. The purpose of having children is to achieve his ambitions. So after he has completed the act of reproduction, he will leave the woman.
Howard Stark: What a ruthless man, too bad!
Thomas Wayne: That's right!
Lucas: Your two sons are similar. Maybe you are not good people yourselves. Don't laugh at others when you're not much better.
Thomas Wayne: Group Leader, I have to tell you! Bruce's playboy character is a disguise, and I am a pure-hearted man.
Howard Stark: Although Tony's playboy character is not a disguise, I am definitely a good man with a pure heart.
Sebastian Shaw: Can the two of you stop wallowing in petty desires and show a shred of ambition? Group Leader, what about Ego—how does he treat his children? If he wanted them to be his successors or assistants, surely he wouldn't just neglect them… right?
Lucas: After the children are born, Ego will send someone to take them to his own body. If it is confirmed that the children do not inherit his divine power, then Ego will kill them immediately.
Dongfang Yuechu: No way? Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. This Ego is too cruel, right?
Lo Pei: It's really outrageous!
Howard Stark: So he's not just a scumbag who walks away after getting what he wants—he's also the kind who's utterly heartless to his own kids. Tell me, if he treats them like that, does he really expect them to help him?
Sebastian Shaw: That's true! Does that Star-Lord know nothing about what his father did?
Lucas: Star-Lord is an outlier, and his experience is completely different from that of his siblings. When he was a little kid, Ego sent Yondu, an interstellar ravager, to bring him back.
Lucas: Unexpectedly, the ravager betrayed him and took Star-Lord as his own son to raise. Star-Lord is also a person with great luck, and even the ruthless interstellar mercenary was influenced by him.
Gengetsu Hōzuki: And then? Since Star-Lord was not sent back to Ego, how did Ego do all this?
Uchiha Madara: Is there any need to ask? Of course, Ego sent someone to bring him back. But the original future is different from the present. What was the original future like?
Lucas: The original future? After being brought to Ego's side, Star-Lord learned about Ego's plan, and also learned that his mother's death was closely related to Ego, and even caused by Ego's hand...
Howard Stark: Wait! Ego not only killed his children, but also killed the women who gave birth to them? This guy is scum!
Irisviel: Agreed! Those women were blind to fall in love with him and have children. Wait, were those women willing?
Lucas: Of course it was voluntary! And madam, you pick men's eyes well. Wait, you weren't voluntary, were you?
Irisviel: Kiritsugu is much better than Ego! My death has nothing to do with him, and he gave up his life for our daughter.
Lucas: Just be happy! But I have to state that although Ego is a scumbag, he didn't kill all the women who bore his children. The reason why he killed Star-Lord's mother was because he fell in love with Star-Lord's mother.
Howard Stark: Huh? What's the point of killing Star-Lord's mother because he fell in love with her?
Senju Tobirama: Do the gods, like the Uchiha clan, need to sacrifice their love to gain power?
Uchiha Madara: Tobirama, don't discredit the Uchiha clan. I bet Ego killed Star-Lord's mother for his ambitions.
Lucas: Madara is right! After Ego's ideal is realized, only the gods in the entire universe can survive, or in other words, Ego and the children who have inherited his divine power.
Uchiha Madara: As expected! Ego is afraid that if Star-Lord's mother continues to live, he will lose his determination to destroy the universe. Is that so?
Lucas: That's right! So he planted a terminal illness in Star-Lord's mother and killed her with his own hands. However, Star-Lord inherited his divine power and brought a possibility – only the woman he truly loves can give birth to a child with divine power.
Howard Stark: Even if he knows this, it's not easy to do it, right? After all, his situation has proved a point: true love will become a stumbling block for him to achieve his ideals.
Lucas: He hasn't tested this possibility. Of course, even if he wants to test it, it's not easy. True love is not something that can be forced, and his heart cannot be controlled by himself. In the original future, Ego was killed by Star-Lord and Star-Lord's companion together.
Shiki: "Father is kind, son is filial"—what's your take on that, Whitebeard?
Whitebeard: Go away!
Lucas: The adopted daughter Gamora, who was killed by Thanos before, is the object of Star-Lord's secret love. Ego can get Star-Lord's help now, maybe it has something to do with Gamora's death. It is not uncommon for the whole world to burn because idiots think they can bring back their loved ones.
Namikaze Minato: Is that it? Uchiha Obito had a dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi, in which everyone is resurrected and happy. Did Star-Lord get deceived by Ego with a similar lie?
Lucas: That's not entirely true! But Star-Lord is a person who is good at creating miracles. He is good at getting his teammates killed, he can make the enemy who is about to lose win, and he can also bring about the defeat of his own side.
Thomas Wayne: Is there such a thing?
Lucas: In the original future, after collecting four Infinity Stones, Thanos was almost defeated by Tony Stark and the others. At that time, when Thanos was pinned down by Tony and Doctor Strange, Star-Lord took the opportunity to ask about Gamora's whereabouts, and then learned that Gamora was killed by Thanos.
Senju Tobirama: He then let out his emotion?
Lucas: How did you know?
Senju Tobirama: It's normal to have such a reaction! The enemy who killed your love is right in front of you, so it's not surprising to go up and punch him. Of course, this situation is limited to ordinary people. Trained ninjas must resist their anger.
Lucas: Sure, landing a punch on him isn't that surprising. But throwing multiple punches—while his teammates are trying to hold him back—until Thanos literally wakes up? Don't tell me it was just "rage." At that point, if someone claimed he was Thanos's undercover agent, a lot of people would believe it.
Uchiha Madara: Tch. He's just trash who can't control his emotions.
Shiki: Heh, not necessarily. Maybe the more people tried to stop him, the more fired up he got?
That kind of mindset isn't rare. He knows it's dangerous but has to try it anyway. Isn't that just like that fool Roger?
In their eyes, they don't call it recklessness...
They call it adventure.
