Chapter 1060: The body of a god, on par with mortals
Ego's life spanned countless light years, witnessing the birth and changes of the universe.
His figure was like flowing starlight, sometimes condensed into a solid, sometimes turned into nothingness, shuttling between the stars, looking for the true meaning of life and existence.
During his journey, the earth, this blue planet, unexpectedly became his emotional harbor.
By chance, Ego landed in a corner of the earth, where an ordinary and beautiful earth girl lived-Star Lord's mother.
Her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly illuminating Ego's weathered heart.
Their encounter seemed to be the most incredible arrangement in the universe, and two lonely hearts found each other in the vast sea of people.
Although Ego understood his identity and responsibility as a higher life form, he still fell into this relationship involuntarily. Every tryst with her was like a sweet rain in a dry heart, making him feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.
However, happiness is always short-lived.
Deep in Ego's heart, there is always a voice reminding him that as a life form with higher wisdom and power, he cannot indulge in this gentle land and forget his mission and pursuit.
After countless conflicts and struggles, Ego made a decision that made him feel painful.
He used his power to quietly implant a tumor in Star-Lord's mother's brain, which was both an extreme proof of his pursuit of the true meaning of life and a final farewell to this love.
He hoped that in this way, he could completely cut off his connection with the earth and embark on the journey of finding his people and exploring the mysteries of the universe again.
Star-Lord's memory of his father was vague and distant, and he only knew that he was a mysterious figure who had never appeared.
When Ego suddenly appeared in his life and revealed to him his identity as a god and the fact that they were connected by blood in a nearly savior-like manner, Star-Lord was filled with shock and confusion.
He was once moved by Ego's words, thinking that although Ego failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities for some reason, he still loved him deep in his heart.
However, the truth is always cruel.
In the next test, Ego discovered that Star-Lord actually contained a rare god factor, which meant that Star-Lord was not only the continuation of his bloodline, but also one of his long-sought tribesmen.
At this moment, Ego's attitude changed dramatically.
Ego's long journey in the universe was not only to find the lost tribesmen, but also to spread his genes to various planets in order to create more offspring with divine power.
However, after countless attempts, only Star-Lord inherited this mysterious power.
Ego began to reflect that perhaps it was the pure love between him and Star-Lord's mother that gave Star-Lord a unique meaning of existence.
Unlike other lives created by means, Star-Lord is the crystallization of love and a witness to the sincere emotions of both parents.
The existence of Star-Lord proves that even higher life forms cannot resist the power of emotions.
Ego couldn't help but regret that if he could cherish the time with Star-Lord's mother more, perhaps they could have more excellent children like Star-Lord.
However, reality can no longer be changed.
When Ego finally decided to tell Star-Lord all his plans and proposed to share the entire universe with him, Star-Lord's reaction was beyond his expectations.
In Ego's eyes, Star-Lord should be excited and honored to be the future co-lord of the universe. However, Star-Lord's reaction was like a basin of cold water, which extinguished Ego's enthusiasm.
Star-Lord's face did not show the excitement and glory that Ego expected, but a look of confusion and rejection.
In Star-Lord's view, life should be simple and direct. What he pursued was endless wealth and freedom, the kind of ease and comfort that could spend happy time with many beauties without Gamora knowing.
He never had the idea of dominating the universe, and he didn't want to see all interstellar civilizations disappear under his rule. What kind of loneliness and cruelty would that be?
Ego couldn't understand Star-Lord's thoughts. In his view, becoming the master of the universe and sharing endless power and glory with his only loved ones was what many people dreamed of.
He tried to convince Star-Lord, telling him that as long as they joined forces, they could spread their clone seeds throughout the universe, and eventually become the only two gods, ruling everything.
But Star-Lord was filled with fear and anxiety.
He looked at Ego's eyes full of expectation and anger, and felt unprecedented pressure.
He knew that once he agreed to Ego, his life would change completely, he would lose his original freedom and happiness, and become a ruler of the universe. What kind of life would that be?
He dared not imagine.
So he chose to refuse and chose to escape.
Star-Lord awakened the power of the gods, and his speed became extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, leaving overlapping afterimages in the air.
His figure shuttled through the air.
He was filled with fear and tension.
He knew that as long as he could escape Ego's pursuit, he could continue to live the life he wanted, the simple and direct life.
Ego's clones followed closely behind, and they were like a group of crazy hounds, searching for Star-Lord's traces.
Their number was increasing, as if they were going to cover the entire interior space of the planet under their search.
However, Star-Lord's speed was too fast. His divine power made him extremely powerful. Even the divine power he had just mastered made him stronger than most superheroes or villains.
Ego's clones could not track him and could only wander in space helplessly.
Star-Lord was also panicking at this time. The divine power in his body made him feel omnipotent, but he didn't know how to use this power.
He was like a deer lost in the forest, helpless and confused.
He tried to control his fear and tension, but the power was surging in his body, making him unable to calm down.
The dense clones blocked all the roads. They wanted to block the entire space and not let Star-Lord have any chance to escape.
However, Star-Lord did not give up.
He used his speed and flexibility to rush left and right in the encirclement of the clones, looking for a gap to escape.
In fact, with the divine power in Star-Lord's body, as long as he was not facing Ego's body, it would be futile to have more clones.
But he was too unconfident. He always felt that he was not strong enough and would fail.
He forgot that the blood of the gods flowed in his body and he had the power to change the universe.
