Chapter 902: The Mantis Woman with a Conscience

"Oh, so if his father accidentally died, would he not be able to be so showy as he is now, and keep dangling like a light bulb in front of us?"

"Is such that."

"What? Rocket, what are you talking about?" Star-Lord was originally still worried about some future things, but when he heard what Rocket said next to him, he was so angry that he laughed. Who would start talking about the other person's father accidentally dying just after the father and son had just recognized each other?

"Ahem, nothing." Rocket knew that what he said was inappropriate, so he coughed a few times awkwardly and didn't talk back to the other party.

"I don't think this is a bad thing, right? After all, Noah just said that we have eternal life." Star-Lord said while staring at the light in his hand.

"Mantis? Why are you here?" At this time, Gwen, who was beside Noah, suddenly felt Noah patting her knee. Before she could wonder, she looked up and saw Mantis standing outside the door. She seemed to be hesitating whether to come in.

After hearing Gwen's call, everyone looked up at the door. Mandis was also startled, but then she made up her mind and walked in.

"Well, good evening everyone. I didn't expect you all haven't slept yet." Mantis greeted everyone and came to their side with a somewhat restrained look.

"My~Groot~" Groot said.

"Oh, he said that pig Groot fell asleep." Rocket translated.

Groot scratched his head in confusion. He remembered that he didn't say Groot was a pig?

"It's so late, Mantis, what can I do for you?" Gwen pulled Mantis to sit next to her, and then asked with some confusion. In the movie, the person who had the best relationship with Mantis should be Drax, but now this role has become Gwen.

Everyone felt that something was wrong with Mandis. Why did she look a little nervous? Star-Lord was also a little confused about Mandis's existence. When she was talking about her origins, Star-Lord was talking to Ego in another place. He didn't know what identity Mandis lived in on Ego. Could she be a stepmother? Star-Lord thought a little strangely.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mandis took a few deep breaths nervously, and then finally made up her mind. She raised her head and said to everyone:

"You guys hurry up and run away! Leave this planet as soon as possible!" Mantis said to everyone. Her words shocked the Guardians of the Galaxy nearby. As for Noah and the others, their expressions didn't change much because they had known the truth behind it long ago. However, Gwen was happy because of Mantis's brave behavior.

"What?!" Seeing Mandis say this, everyone else began to wonder, why do they want to escape? Why would this person who accompanied Ego suddenly come in the middle of the night and ask everyone to escape from this planet?

"Why do you want to escape? What happened?" Star-Lord was the most confused one. He had just reunited with his biological father today and learned the powerful power of a god. Why should he leave here?

"Do you know something? Tell me!" The one who spoke more harshly was of course Xingyun. She had discovered that something was wrong with the other party in the afternoon. Now it seems that this planet may really be hiding some secrets that they don't know about.

"Nebula, don't be so anxious, Mantis, if you have anything you want to say to us, please say it now. Otherwise, no matter what you say, we can't trust you." Gamora interrupted Nebula's almost coercive questioning and asked in a gentler tone.

"Well... if you continue to stay on this planet, your lives will be in danger. You are all good people, so I don't want you to lose your lives." Mantis hesitated for a while, but continued.

"Life-threatening danger? What kind of life-threatening danger could there be? Isn't this the planet of my father Ego?" Star-Lord was a little confused. He didn't know why this woman with tentacles on her head suddenly ran up to him and said these words.

"Star-Lord, don't get excited, let her finish." Noah interrupted Star-Lord's unhappy questioning, and then looked at Mandis, "Mandis, tell me everything you know. I promise that no one here can hurt you."

Noah's words, even with some of the energy of the Mind Gem, quickly calmed down Mantis, who was nervous about betraying Ego.

"Well... Actually, this planet wasn't home to only Ego and me before... Ego..." Then, Mantis plucked up her courage and began to tell everyone about what Ego had done and what had happened before her eyes.

According to Mantis's description, Ego hired many mercenaries including Yondu, who then went to various planets on his behalf to bring back the children he had previously had with the women on those planets.

Ego's goal is to find a descendant who can use the other's power like Star-Lord.

Hearing this, Star-Lord subconsciously released the power in his hand. This made Mantis pause subconsciously, because seeing this power, she almost thought it was Ego who appeared in front of her. Then, she calmed down and continued to tell the story.

"Peter Quill, you are the first offspring that Ego has found who can inherit his abilities."

"Am I the only one who can inherit it?" When Star-Lord heard this, his first thought was that he was indeed different from the others. However, before he began to feel secretly happy, he thought of another thing, "Wait, if I am the first one, then that means the people before me didn't awaken this power? Then where are they? Why don't I see them?"

Hearing Star-Lord's doubts, a hint of fear appeared in Mantis' eyes, while Nebula and Gamora next to her looked at each other. As Thanos' adopted children, they were very familiar with the fate of those adopted children who were of no use to Thanos.

"They... were all killed by Ego!" Mantis said tremblingly.

"What!!" Star-Lord's pupils constricted and he screamed in disbelief.

"Watt?!" Everyone else was also shocked by this fact.

"This! How is this possible?!" Star-Lord couldn't believe this was true. After communicating with Ego today, Star-Lord felt that he was a good father, kind and gentle. How could he be the kind of perverted killer who would kill his own children at will?

"I'm telling the truth. I'm the only one who's survived until now because of my special ability to make Ego fall asleep." Mandis said with some sadness.

"Wait, so you're also Ego's descendant? You're Star-Lord's sister?"
