25. Heaven has fallen
Billions of light-years of collapsed space, forming the dim edge of the galaxy, in the universe, the most dangerous is never the stars, but the darkness, no one knows, between galaxies and galaxies, what kind of mysteries are hidden, and if you encounter a space where there are no stars, you should also be careful, because there are likely to be other dangers hidden here.
"Buzz"
The light of the space leap opened up among the dark stars, and the massive golden ship leaped out of it, the 5-kilometer-long ship suspended like a splendid palace between the fast-moving Sky Dome of the Star of Igo.
"It encloses the space inside, and there is no way for a ship to jump directly into its atmosphere. ”
Monarch's best navigator respectfully said to Cyber, "This distance is the closest point of spatial distortion, where we can capture the gravitational pull of this unique planet, and unless it can tear through space and escape, we will be able to keep up with it." ”
"Hmm"
Cyber sat on the throne and looked at the blue planet in silence in front of him, just from the outside, he couldn't tell that it was a self-aware planet.
"I feel the flow of powerful life energy! the master will love it!"
Another voice sounded next to Cyber, it was a silver-white being, he looked like a humanoid lifeform, well-proportioned muscles distributed in every corner of the body, as well as standard pectoral muscles and eight-pack abs, but the whole body was covered with some kind of silver power shell, if you stay on this silver shell for too long, you will feel that this layer of power is flowing and never stops.
This is Norin Ryder, Star-Swallowing's most loyal subordinate, and while Star-Swallower is asleep, he and his companions will be tasked with finding a planet of life for Star-Swallower to devour.
This guy has a cold personality, but his strength is as strong as Cyber before he got the Power Gem, and he also has a special silver skateboard suspended by his side, which allows him to travel quickly through the universe, and when he stands on the skateboard, he can borrow the endless power of the Star Swallower, which makes him enough to destroy a planet by himself.
It is said, but it is said that Norin was once a respectable person, but in order to save the mother planet, he gave up all his feelings and threw himself into the command of Swallowing Star, and Swallowing Star also spared his mother planet as agreed, in short, this guy is a very sad character.
"Stop!"
Just as Norlin was about to summon his master to come over and feast on it, Cyber's scythe arced through the air, shattering the silver rune that Norlin had drawn in front of him, and Norlin's expression immediately turned indifferent, and he turned his head to look at Cyber, who was also looking at him.
"I promised to give this planet to Swallower, but before I can do that, I need to get something back from this planet..."
He looked at Silver Surfer, "You're not going to stop me, are you?"
"Will your actions affect the life of this planet?"
Norlin asked a rhetorical question, and Cyberlen paused and shook his head:
"Probably not..."
"That's fine, let's go!"
Silver Surfer was unexpectedly easy to speak: "According to your time scale, 2 hours, is it enough?"
Cyber looked at him with a strange expression:
"I thought you'd shout Star Swallowing Supremacy and fight me. ”
"I'm just following the mission..."
Nolin leaned against his silver skateboard suspended in the air with his eyes closed, and he said with a hint of relaxation:
"This doesn't mean that I can't think, and fighting with an opponent who obviously can't be beaten is the most stupid behavior, and the most wasteful behavior!
"Good!"
Cyber reached out and patted Norlin on the shoulder:
"I'm starting to like you, brother. ”
After speaking, he waved his scythe, and his figure disappeared into the ship:
"Sim, Drax, keep on board, I'll be back soon!"
On the other side, on the surface of Igo, the heavenly scenery that had been completely destroyed in the last outrage of life on this planet has been fully restored.
For an being who can truly control the planet, it couldn't be easier to shape the surface into what he wants, it's really just a matter of thought, and now, Igo's avatar sits on the throne of his magnificent temple, and he looks indifferently at the people below who are bound by the milky white light.
At the center is his son Quill, followed by Yondu and Gamora, who are already in a near-death state.
"My son, I'll ask you one last time..."
Igo looked at Quill, who was gritting his teeth in the light prison and unwilling to give in, and he said in a deep voice:
"You have noble blood flowing in your body, you see, I want to transform the stars in this lonely universe, but I can't do it all by myself, but if you join in, this great goal is likely to be achieved, and I hope you can be a shadow behind me rather than eat you as food. ”
"Would you like to?"
"You've messed with someone you can't afford to mess with! Igo!
Quill's hands were on the pillars of light in the cage of light, and the skin of his hands was flushed with the stimulation of the beating lightning, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"You killed Groot, you killed his hope, and he'll be coming to you soon!"
"Ah, stubborn!"
Step by step, Igo stepped down from the throne, he stood in front of Quill, the ardent hope in his eyes turned to deep indifference, he looked at Quill, and he whispered:
"Your race has always been like this, and humans will always fall into meaningless and illusory feelings, and so have your mother, and so have you... Even during my time on Earth, I became like that. ”
Igo took a step back, and he shook his head:
"This is a virus, Quill, it binds you, suppresses your possibility to become better, if you want to become pureer, if you want to become stronger, you have to abandon it!
He spread his arms, the stars shining behind him, and visions of hundreds of planets appeared behind him:
"Quill, my child, did I tell you my ultimate goal?"
"I've spent so much time, I've planted my own seeds on so many planets I can find, and it only takes one chance for them to take root and transform those worlds!"
With Igo's voice, in the illusion behind him, those planets of different shapes were shrouded in milky white and dark blue light, and finally became the same existence as Igo's star.
"They will achieve the greatest elevation!!"
Igo shouted:
"They're going to become... Me!"
"At that time, I will overcome the last obstacle and become a real..."god"!"
He looked at Quill, who was also stunned by what was happening in that vision, because he saw a world in it that he knew so well... Earth.
"You too can share in the glory, Quill!"
Igo still did not give up persuasion, he looked at his son:
"You can also dominate this power, just give up your senseless feelings and hatred, you see, I am your father, and you should be on my side, not any miscellaneous side!"
"Click"
Yondu Gamora's body was lifted into the air by the power of his light, and he tilted his head and looked at Quill:
"One last chance... Come with me?"
"I, I only have one problem!"
Quill let go of the pillar of light in his hands, he retreated to the center of the cage, he reached out and untied his dark red leather coat, he looked at Iago:
"You told me that you really love my mother, that you did all this to save her, and now you are telling me once that you are indeed giving everything for this goal!"
"Tell me!"
Quill's cry represented his agitated emotion, and in the beating of emotion, his arms were wrapped around the same aura as Igo's, a scene that made Igo let out a voice of regret.
"Of course, I loved her, and that was the only woman I ever truly loved. ”
Iago's voice became softer: "When I'm with her, you know?Quill, when I'm with your mother, I forget even my great mission and the plan I have to carry out, and every time, every time I tell myself, this is the last time... But I still went back to Earth to see her three times... I've spent 20 years with her... Nothing, and I know that if I go back again..."
"I'm going to fall completely. ”
He looked up at the starlight shining above him, and he whispered:
"The meaning of my existence will be completely denied! I will become an ordinary earthling, and I will no longer be a planetary life Igo!"
"You know what?"
Igo looked at his angry son, and he said bitterly:
"When I put the tumor in her head, my heart ached like it was pierced by a thousand sharp blades, but I had to do it, it was my only flaw, my only weakness, I had to get rid of her, and she gave me the best gift of this cherished gift. ”
"That's you!Quill, you're the only victor among my thousands of children who carries the Celestial Gene!"
Igo sighed: "If I knew this, I should have forcibly brought your mother back to this planet, instead of letting her die alone on Earth, with you, maybe there will be a second child, a third child... I can even make my own race!"
"You!"
Quill's gaze glazed over: "You killed her?"
Igo shrugged:
"I said that my life is like a trip to the sea, and there is always a warm harbor for me to miss!"
"But alas, I love the sea..."
"Bastard!"
"Bang"
At Quell's roar, the unstable power of the gods in his body exploded at this moment, like a deadly spear of light, piercing through Igo's cage in an instant, and with the wave of his arms, two rays of light grabbed Iago's body like dragon claws, and completely pierced it in the next moment.
But...
"Bang Bang"
Two deadly pillars of light eventually smashed into the ground, and in front of Igo, Yondu and Gamora's body stood between him and Quill, and his leisurely voice rang out:
"Look, your talent is so amazing that it even amazes me, but your feelings are your Achilles' heel!
"Come on!"
Igo's mocking voice stimulated Quell's mind: "You roar like a warrior, and throw away your weapon like a coward, killing people is not as hard as you think, just a light stab, and it will all go up in smoke!"
"I... I'm not like you!"
Quill took a few steps back: "I'm not an emotionless monster!"
"Your feelings will make you die in the fire!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Iago's hands were raised, and three thick halo tentacles tore through the earth, stabbing at his body from three directions in Quill, and he fought off two with difficulty, but the last one, pierced his body, lifting him high into the air.
"Looks like you're still stubborn!"
Igo sighed, and with a hint of crocodile sadness, he whispered:
"Activating the seed I left behind is a sacrifice, and I had hoped that, as you grow, we could share that sacrifice, but now it seems that your ultimate fate is a foregone conclusion. ”
The visible starlight flowed from Quill's body, absorbed little by little by the tentacles of light that pierced the body, and penetrated into the bottom and core of the Igo Star, the wisdom brain protected by layers of solid rocks, and after receiving this divine power, the entire Igo Star was completely lit up at this moment.
And among the distant stars, the seeds planted by Igo began to sprout...
"Quill, the only son I admit..."
Igo raised his head and looked at Quill who was trembling in the air, "I will remember your great sacrifice..."
Behind him, the dying Yongdu struggled to get up, a soul stone was held in his hand, he looked at the god-like Igo in front of him, and he stuffed the soul stone into his mouth.
"Click"
As the soul power poured into his body, the dark green demon fire burned brightly above Yongdu's shattered body, and after receiving enough soul replenishment, the soul of the sleeping berserker demon lord in his body was awakened, roaring in search of war.
"Overlord, give me strength!"
Yondu, who was transformed in size, roared and pounced on the laughing Igo, whose deepest hatred and loveless madness burned in the eyes of this cunning interstellar pirate:
"Igo, you monster! let go of my son!!"
"No! Not !!"
