Chapter 465: The Edge of Destruction

Carol took a deep breath. Although her chest was still aching, she did not flinch. Her eyes were firm, and the photon energy around her body surged again. The golden light flowed on her skin like a blazing flame. Her hands trembled slightly, but the determination in her eyes never weakened. While calming her disordered breathing, Carol slowly stood up, clenching her fists, as if ready to fight again at any time.

Darkseid glanced coldly at Carol and Ego, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes. His gaze was as cold as a knife, as if these two once extremely powerful beings in their respective fields were nothing more than insignificant obstacles in his eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, and his voice was low and full of unquestionable pressure.

"You so-called strong ones always foolishly think that you have unlimited power." Darkseid's voice was like thunder, full of sarcasm. He first looked at Carol, "Do you think this little photon energy can pose a threat to me? You are just a mortal. No matter how strong your determination is, you can't change your fate."

He changed his tone and looked at Ego coldly with obvious contempt. "And you, Ego, a dignified 'God', can only rely on this fragile body to fight against me. Have you ever thought that the energy at the bottom of the palace is the real source of your power? You can obviously choose to completely merge with that God's energy and truly become a 'God', but you choose to waste time here and rely on this fragile body to fight against me. It's ridiculous."

Carol was about to retort, and the words were on her lips, but she suddenly felt an unprecedented heavy pressure coming from Darkseid. The irresistible force was like an invisible mountain pressing on her shoulders, making her speechless for a moment. She clenched her teeth, her heart burning with anger, but she had to admit that the enemy in front of her was much stronger than any enemy she had ever encountered.

At this moment, a trace of vigilance and anger flashed in Ego's eyes. His voice was filled with a hint of vigilance and dissatisfaction, and he said coldly: "Darkseid, are you so eager to die? After integrating that energy, I will become a true god, and you are just a self-righteous invader."

Although Ego's words were tough, his desire and greed for that energy had already been exposed. He had been trying to absorb more power, but he never dared to really touch the divine energy at the bottom of the palace. Although he was extremely powerful, he also understood that once he completely integrated that power, he would lose some control over this planet and himself.

Darkseid shook his head slightly, as if he was laughing at Ego's ignorance and arrogance. His voice was still calm, but every word was full of majesty and power: "Do you know why you never dared to touch that energy? Because you know in your heart that once you merge with it, you will no longer be who you are now. Your identity as a 'God' is nothing but a joke. What you fear is not failure, but losing yourself. A true God would not be as hesitant as you, nor would he rely on the power of this planet. You are just using it to maintain your fragile self-esteem."

Darkseid's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ego's heart. Ego's face became gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, and the energy in his body began to fluctuate, as if the anger in his heart was also burning at this moment. But he did not immediately refute Darkseid's words, because he knew that some of what the other party said really pierced his heart. In other words, after becoming a true god, he must fulfill the "destiny" and "mission" of being a "god".

At this moment, Ego suddenly realized some fatal crisis. His eyes were instantly filled with fear, as if the energy hidden deep in the palace was about to be taken away. Ego's heart was suddenly filled with fear, as he knew that if he lost that energy, his power would be greatly weakened, or even completely destroyed.

"You damned fellow!" Igo's face was twisted, his eyes were filled with anger and fear, he shouted furiously, his voice echoing in the ruins. His body shook violently, and the energy of the gods began to surge wildly around him. The rocks and buildings on the ground collapsed instantly, and the rubble flew. He rushed towards the direction of the energy desperately, trying to take it back at the last moment.

Just as Ego was about to reach the source of the energy, Darkseid appeared in front of him like a ghost, blocking his way. Darkseid had a playful smile on his face, and looked at Ego's crazy behavior coldly.

"Do you think I will let you succeed?" Darkseid's voice was low and cold, full of sarcasm. "This energy no longer belongs to you, Ego."

Ego's eyes were almost bloodshot. He could no longer keep calm and was completely consumed by anger and fear. He suddenly threw a punch, and the power of the gods poured out like a violent torrent, rushing straight into Darkseid's chest. The wind from the punch brought a loud sound of tearing the air, as if it was going to crush Darkseid on the spot.

But Darkseid remained unmoved. He just leaned sideways and easily dodged Ego's attack. The smile on his face became even stronger, as if he was playing a helpless clown. Whenever Ego tried to bypass him and rush to the energy source, Darkseid would always block him accurately and not give him any chance.

Ego became more and more violent, punching out with one blow after another with enough force to destroy mountains and rivers, but Darkseid seemed to be toying with him all the time, dodging all attacks effortlessly, with that desperate, mocking smile on his face all the time.

Carol stood in the distance, looking at everything in front of her with complicated eyes. Darkseid's behavior was obviously not to protect the energy. His purpose seemed to be to force Ego into a desperate situation and make him completely lose his mind. She clenched her fists, the photon energy in her body was still accumulating, ready to attack at any time.

On the other side, the Infinite Spark had already locked onto the exact location of Ego's core energy. The fleet used the power of the Space Stone and the Power Stone, combined with the most advanced technology, to seal and seize Ego's core energy source. Zhan Ji Lingma watched the intelligent brain running rapidly, and the holographic projection in the command room kept flashing complex data streams. Zhan Ji Lingma himself was staring at the screen in the Umbrella command room.

"Begin the process of blocking the core energy," Zhan Ji Ling Ma calmly gave the order, "We must completely seize this energy before Ego realizes it."

Through the power of the Space Gem, the space of the entire Ego planet was rapidly distorted, and energy began to be directed into the collection device of the Endless Spark. The Power Gem provided strong energy support for this process, ensuring the stability of the entire blockade process. At the same time, nanotechnology was cleverly integrated into the entire system, quickly forming an invisible barrier under the surface of Ego, firmly blocking Ego's core energy.

The entire collection device looks like a cosmic cube, emitting dazzling blue light, and energy slowly rotates inside it, as if condensing infinite power. Whenever there is an energy fluctuation that wants to escape, the power of the space gem and the power gem will quickly suppress and re-seal it, ensuring that Ego will never have any chance to contact his core energy again.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma watched all this with satisfaction. He whispered to himself, "Soon, Ego's fate will no longer be in his hands, but in ours."
