Chapter 898 Mantis Woman's Abilities

While Star-Lord and his son were interacting, a consciousness that was observing the situation here quietly left and then returned to the main body, Noah's body.

That's right, after Noah was brought to the reception room where the Guardians of the Galaxy and others were by Mantis, he began to separate some of his consciousness to explore the situation in the palace, mainly to check on the situation on Star-Lord's side.

In order to avoid being discovered by Ego, he used his power very carefully to investigate, and even used the power of the Mind Gem.

So, he saw the conversation between Star-Lord and Ego, which started when Star-Lord looked at the statue and questioned Ego, and then he saw that Star-Lord was coaxed by Ego with a few words, and after being taught how to use the power of God, they began to have intimate father-son interactions.

"This old guy's acting is really good. It's true that people become more and more charming as they get older." Noah felt that Ego was just acting. This guy must have learned a lot over millions of years. It should be no problem for him to trick a little Star-Lord.

Although the other party did have different feelings for Ego's mother, and even had a statue of her in the garden, Noah knew that in the heart of a god who had lived for millions of years, this relationship probably only occupied less than one percent of his heart. The rest was his plan to devour all the planets. Perhaps Star-Lord's status was higher than Star-Lord's mother's at this time.

But this guy is really good at talking, mainly because what he said also touched some of Star-Lord's thoughts. For example, the sentence he said, "I can't bear to stand on the earth without her", is actually the same as Star-Lord's thoughts.

After being captured by Yondu for so long, Star-Lord has the ability to be independent and can actually go back to Earth at any time if he wants. Star-Lord also has many relatives on Earth. For example, after Star-Lord left Guardians of the Galaxy in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and planned to return to Earth, he lived with his grandfather.

He didn't return to Earth because he didn't want to go back to the sad place where he watched his mother die, so he chose to be a prodigal son in the universe. Ego's words touched his heart, making him subconsciously think that Ego loved his mother just like he did.

"Noah?" Gwen's voice interrupted Noah's thoughts. "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, nothing, just thinking about something." Noah said after coming back to his senses.

At this time, because of Gwen, Mantis' relationship with everyone during this period seemed to be much better than in the movie.

At this time, Mantis was telling her story, telling how she was found and raised by Ego when she was a larva.

During this period, Drax's words were still very straightforward. Words like "Are you his pet?" and "How could Ego like such an ugly pet?" came out in an endless stream. Rocket was always amused by Drax's humor. Of course, in Drax's own mind, he really thought so, and these were not humorous words intended to make others laugh.

When discussing Mantis's tentacles, she also told everyone about her abilities. Her tentacles are the catalyst for her race to release power, and she has the power to sense the emotions and feelings of others through touch.

"Can you read minds?" Rocket, who was standing nearby, said after hearing this. He was standing on a chair, so that he was just as tall as the big guy when he was sitting down.

"No, mind reading can show thoughts, but I can only feel emotions." said Mantis.

Noah on the side also recalled Mantis's abilities. The other party's racial talent was indeed very strong. Noah didn't know how the entire race had such powerful strength, or because Mantis was the offspring of her mother and the god Ego, she had this power.

After all, in the movie, Mantis can even force Ego to hypnotize him, making him fall asleep and then be manipulated by others. If it weren't for the funny plot in the movie, where the flying stone hit Mantis who was continuously casting spells on Ego and then interrupted the hypnosis, Ego might have been blown to death inexplicably.

In addition to sensing emotions, Mantis also has the power to change other people's minds, which is the power of hypnosis. She can make stubborn people obedient, make sad people happy, and make one person fall in love with another person in an instant. In the movie, she once made a guard fall in love with Drax directly.

"Do you want to try it?" Mantis smiled and said to everyone.

"Me, me! Let me do it!" Rocket, who was quite interested in this ability, wanted to try it immediately.

"Okay, give me your hand." Mantis placed her hand directly on Rocket's furry little palm, then closed her eyes and began to feel Rocket's emotions. As Mantis's ability was activated, the ends of the two pairs of tentacles on her forehead began to glow.

"Excitement... Curiosity..." Mantis recited Rocket's emotions at the moment, but when her power penetrated into Rocket's heart, she sensed more emotions buried deep inside, "Besides that, there is also... sadness... pain!"

Mantis opened her eyes, and her palm left Rocket's hand as if she had been electrocuted. She then looked at Rocket's small body with some surprise. At this time, two tears flowed from Mantis' eyes unconsciously. This was because her body had a subconscious reaction after feeling Rocket's emotions.

But Mantis didn't notice this either, and just looked at Rocket. She actually felt such a sad interest in him, maybe this is the secret buried in his heart? And she could also feel that he was always in pain, maybe this means that he was in pain all the time? But because he was used to it, the pain didn't surface on his emotional surface?

"What? Pain, sadness, how could I have such emotions?" Rocket said with his teeth bared, but he also knew where the two emotions the other party mentioned came from.

The pain should be this modified body of his. At this moment, there are still various modified parts embedded in Rocket's body, which bring him pain all the time, but Rocket cannot remove these things, because he will die if he does so. After all, these things replace the organs in his body. A creature as small as a raccoon will definitely die if it loses its organs.

If he was sad, all Rocket could think of were the animal companions who had been transformed by the experiment with him, and those companions who had not been able to escape. Thinking of this, Rocket gritted his teeth, put aside these emotions, and then pretended to be calm and told Mantis that her ability was not accurate.
