Chapter 462 The Giant God Arrives

The beam of the Endless Spark gradually dissipated, and a tall and majestic figure slowly descended to the ground. The man was shrouded in a layer of shadow, with a huge body, his arms crossed in front of his chest. When he stood in front of everyone, it seemed as if the whole world was trembling. His figure was as solid as a sculpture, as unshakable as a mountain.

Star-Lord and the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy held their breath. They all subconsciously took a few steps back, as if the air had suddenly become thinner. Star-Lord's smile froze on his face in an instant. Although he tried to look relaxed, cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead. The sense of oppression coming from the other party was like an invisible pressure, which instantly made his heart tighten.

"Uh, hey, guys... did you feel it?" Star-Lord wiped the sweat from his forehead with a casual look, his eyes flickering slightly, hiding his inner fear, "This guy doesn't look very friendly..."

Rocket glanced at Star-Lord, his mouth twitching as he muttered, "You're really an expert at bullshit, Peter. Bullshit, of course I feel it!"

Gamora's face turned pale in an instant. She stared at the figure that was descending. Her hands unconsciously clenched her weapons and her whole body tensed. Her breathing became rapid and a huge fear flashed through her heart. The familiar feeling of oppression and the endless terror seemed to resurface from the depths of her memory. For a moment, she even suspected that the person in front of her was not someone else, but the person she feared the most - Thanos.

"No way..." Gamora murmured in a low voice, her eyes filled with complex emotions and fear, "It can't be him...but this aura...why is it so similar..."

Her hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of vigilance and doubt, as if all her fears were aroused in an instant. Although Gamora tried to tell herself that the figure in front of her was not Thanos, her intuition told her that this man was more dangerous than any enemy she had ever encountered.

Drax also frowned, but his courage did not fade away. Instead, he ignited a stronger desire to fight. Although he could feel the opponent's strength, he still clenched his fists, ready for a life-and-death battle. "This guy reminds me of a powerful opponent... No matter who he is, I will chop off his head!"

"I am Groot..." Groot's voice was low and trembling. Obviously, he also felt a huge threat. His roots trembled slightly, as if he was also preparing to face unknown challenges.

Star-Lord took a deep breath and tried to maintain his nonchalant expression, even though his heart was in turmoil. His legs were shaking and his palms were sweating, but he still stepped forward, holding the gun with both hands, as if it was his last resort. The aura of the strong man on the opposite side was like a mountain, which made him almost breathless, but he had to maintain that "Star-Lord-style" relaxed energy.

"Hey, man," Star-Lord's voice was a little hoarse, but he still forced a smile, "Are there some misunderstandings between us? I don't care who you are, but when you stand in front of us, you should at least tell us your name, right? You know, the thing we heroes fear most is not knowing the enemy's name."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead. The tall figure opposite him had no reaction, as if he didn't take his words seriously at all. Star-Lord swallowed his saliva, turned his head and quickly glanced at his teammates.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he frowned and muttered, "Wait a minute, what's going on? Where's Nathan Hawke? Isn't he the leader of Umbrella? Why does this guy look scarier than the ultimate invincible devil in the universe? Who is the boss here?" He couldn't help but curse softly, "Damn Umbrella, what the hell is going on? I just wanted to have a good vacation with Gamora, but now it turns out like this?"

The cold sweat on Star-Lord's forehead slid down his eyebrows. Although his voice was a little frivolous, he had actually been suffocated by the other party's momentum.

The tall figure finally spoke slowly, his voice as deep and majestic as thunder, as if the whole world was responding to his words. Every word carried immense power, shocking everyone's mind.

"My name is...Darkseid."

The four words came out of his mouth slowly, like a heavy mountain falling down, instantly increasing the sense of oppression in the air. Star-Lord's smile froze on his face, his legs began to tremble slightly, and his inner uneasiness was instantly magnified infinitely.

"Darkseid?" Star-Lord swallowed. Although he had never heard of this name, he could sense an incomparable danger from the other party's aura. His palms began to sweat, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, as if he was facing an invincible existence.

Rocket couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Oh, damn, this guy is definitely not an ordinary villain... Are we really going to face this monster?"

Gamora's heartbeat quickened, and she forced herself to calm down. Although she was filled with fear, she knew that now was not the time to retreat. She whispered to Star-Lord, "We have to be careful. This man is more terrifying than any enemy we have ever encountered. His aura... reminds me of Thanos."

Drax shouted fearlessly: "No matter who he is, I will not back down! Darkseid, if you dare to come, be prepared to face death!"

Groot stood silently by, and although he didn't say much, his eyes revealed tension and determination.

Darkseid slowly walked towards them, with each step carrying endless pressure, as if the entire earth was shaking under his feet. The oppression in the air became stronger and stronger, and even breathing became difficult. Everyone felt that they were on the edge of extreme danger, as if they would be crushed to dust by this force in the next moment.

Star-Lord took a deep breath, and even though he was already filled with fear, he still tried to remain calm. He gritted his teeth and smiled, "Well, guys, it seems that the enemy we are facing this time is more difficult than we thought."

Ego slowly stepped forward, raised his hands slightly, and the air around him seemed to tremble slightly because of his movements. He stood in front of everyone, protecting Star-Lord and the Ego starman behind him, staring at Darkseid in front of him. Although his face seemed calm, he was cursing everything in his heart.

"Damn it, Umbrella actually has such a person! If I had known, I should have activated Ego's energy system and ran away long ago! Now, I have to face such a powerful monster!" Ego complained secretly in his heart, thinking about how to deal with the situation before him.

Star-Lord looked at his father. Although he had doubts about Ego before, he still had an impulse to support his father. He clenched his fists, almost ready to stand up for his father.

At this moment, Darkseid spoke coldly. His voice was as low and cold as thunder, carrying an unquestionable pressure: "Take back the energy behind you, Ego. You are not worthy to compete with me."

Darkseid walked forward step by step, as if the ground was shaking under his feet with every step. His cold eyes swept over Ego, with endless contempt and disdain, "I don't want to come here in such a boring way. I pursue victory, but not this meaningless crushing."

Star-Lord was slightly stunned. Darkseid's words carried a certain profound "philosophical" meaning, which was completely different from the enemy he had imagined. At the moment he was stunned, Gamora's eyes suddenly flashed with doubt and surprise, as if she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Igo's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he waved his hand violently. Elena and her Igo warriors behind him suddenly screamed, and then were absorbed by Igo's power in the blink of an eye. Those Igo people who were originally thought to be their compatriots turned into invisible energy in an instant and quickly merged into Igo's body, as if they had never really existed.

Star-Lord took a step back in shock, his eyes full of disbelief: "Dad, what are you doing?! They are... they are all fake?!"

Ego's expression was cold and emotionless. He did not respond to Star-Lord's questioning. His eyes only flashed with a desire for power. He slowly said, "I created all of these. I must use this energy to strengthen myself to fight Darkseid."

Rocket finally reacted at this time, with a glimmer of sudden enlightenment in his eyes. He turned to look at Star-Lord, with a serious and vigilant expression: "Peter, things are much more complicated than we thought. Those Egos are not real creatures at all, they are all "energy" created by Ego. He was trying to deceive your trust, but he didn't expect to meet such a powerful opponent like Darkseid."

Rocket's voice became lower and lower, and he looked at Darkseid cautiously. The power emanating from that huge figure made him feel breathless: "Damn, how powerful is this guy... I have never seen such a terrifying existence."

Just as everyone was shocked by this sudden change, a beam of light descended from the sky again. On the bridge of the Infinite Spark, S-X45 descended from the sky, slowly landing beside Darkseid with the mechanical elegance and coldness of Humagia. Her figure appeared in front of the Guardians of the Galaxy like a ghost, with a noble and indifferent aura.

S-X45 bowed his head slightly and saluted Darkseid, then turned to Star-Lord and the others and spoke in a mechanical tone: "Lord Darkseid's sudden visit disrupted the original plan. But the result was good. Our original mission was to solve Ego's expansion plan, and Lord Darkseid's arrival completely reversed the situation."

Star-Lord was shocked when he heard what S-X45 said. He had never expected that things would develop to this point. Ego, Darkseid, Umbrella, everything seemed to become confusing all of a sudden, and he seemed so small standing between these huge forces.

S-X45 raised his head and looked at everyone calmly: "Ego's expansion plan has threatened the order of the universe. Lord Darkseid's power will put an end to it all."

Gamora's brows were furrowed, her eyes full of confusion and worry: "What about us? We were just dragged into this battle..."

S-X45 slowly turned to look at Gamora, his voice still cold: "Your mission has been completed. Now, it is up to us to take over everything."
