Chapter 512: Where's Daddy?
"Son, we are the gods of the universe, the first higher life race born in the universe, the creator and maintainer of order of all things in the universe!" Igo put his arm around Star-Lord's shoulders and introduced him to the history of the so-called gods as he walked, and Laura, who had not noticed the invisibility at all, had followed the two of them at some point.
"The planet under your feet was built by me alone over thousands of years, bit by bit, and you inherited my bloodline and also have the ability to create a planet." In order to show that what he said was true, Igo stretched out his right arm and raised it slightly towards the clearing in front of him.
With his movements, a small sapling burst out of the otherwise empty ground, and began to grow rapidly under the impetus of the white energy released by Igo, growing into a tall tree in less than two seconds.
"Create a planet... Can I do it too? Star-Lord was stunned by Iago's tactics, and he muttered to himself, his gaze slowly and stiffly turning from the rising tree back to his hands.
Before today, he thought he was an unlucky child of Earth who had been kidnapped by Yongdu. He likes to listen to the classic old songs on the earth given to him by his mother, has great vehicle driving skills and a fairly good ability to shoot guns, likes to cause trouble everywhere, likes beautiful women of different races, and everything seems to be similar to a typical big boy in the United States.
And now what Igo said and what it showed
The means of "creating life" have completely subverted Star-Lord's worldview. Laura, who was stealthily following behind the father and son, naturally heard it clearly, especially the part where she made a tree out of thin air, and she rolled her eyes when she saw it.
This tree is normal in both appearance and growth process, but in Laura's life perception, this thing is not an independent plant life at all, and it should essentially be regarded as another doppelganger created by Igo on the spot, but it simulates the appearance of the tree and the process of branch growth through special means.
To put it bluntly, Igo's operation is a simulation, far from being a real creation of life, what he called
The water of the "Cosmic Celestial" is a bit large, and it is no wonder that other true Cosmic Celestials are all hand-rubbed planets, and it took Igo 10,000 years to barely make such one
"Body", the gap in the level of strength between the two cannot be said to be small, but it is as big as the Great Rift Valley.
But, Igo
The energy used in the "tree-building" has many similarities with the Eradicator Gods that Laura has seen, but there is a difference in the purity of the energy.
After thinking for a moment, Laura came up with a guess, that is, it is very likely that this guy Igo is a cosmic god who is congenitally stunted.
"Why haven't you been back to Earth to see my mother for so many years?" I have to say that Star-Lord's ability to digest thoughts is still quite strong, and he quickly accepted his father's identity as a cosmic god who created the world, and then he asked a puzzle that had plagued him for many years.
Hearing this, Igo's face, which had been smiling kindly, suddenly froze.
"Meredith—" After a while, Iago opened his eyes in pain, and his voice trembled as he uttered the name he had deliberately avoided for so many years.
"Yes, Meredith Quill, my mother, she didn't get to see you until she died, and neither did I—" The emotional Star-Lord's eyes were already red.
"You are the god of the universe! A small cancer should be easy to solve in your hands, right? Father and son were facing each other at this time, and Star-Lord could see that Igo's pain was not a fake, but he still couldn't understand why Igo had not been heard from since then.
Star-Lord hated Iago's inaction, and he hated why he hadn't mustered the courage to hold his mother's outstretched hand at the last moment before the end of her life.
"Your mother is the only woman I have ever loved in my long life." Hearing this, Laura, who was stealthily eavesdropping, rolled her eyes again, and thought: Yes, Meredith is the only woman you have ever loved, yes, the others are just tools for you, the super stallion of the universe, to vent his desires and conduct life experiments.
And this only earth woman who is in love with you does not get long-term happiness like the heroine in a romance movie, but has to endure the torment of her lover saying goodbye, the hardships of raising children alone, and the torture of illness in the last stage of her life.
"There\"Saporonaesernay,andiservesahundredshipsaday,,lonelysailorspassheiaay~" Igo didn't answer Star-Lord's questioning question directly, but sang the classic single "Brandy" by LookingSs with a look of nostalgia.
Star-Lord was a little confused, but he was infected by the atmosphere and gradually began to hum this old song from Earth along with him.
“brandyyou\"reafinegirl
“
“haagoodifeyououlde
“
“bulifeloveryishesea~
After singing the song, the father and son stood silently in place, with Igo seemingly mired in fond memories and Star-Lord patiently waiting for an answer. Laura, who had been in a state of invisibility, raised her head and glanced at the sky, and she sensed an extremely faint spatial fluctuation.
"Son, I love your mother dearly, there is no doubt about it." Finally, Igo, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.
"But I am a cosmic god, and I am tasked with creating and balancing all things in the universe! For this reason, I had to leave the earth, your mother and you. After listening to Iago's tearful words, Star-Lord let out a long sigh, he could already understand his father's plight.
And Laura behind the two of them was almost powerless to complain, Igo's words were purely to put gold on his face, Laura really wanted to show up and ask him: You are so hanging, does Aritham know?
Did exiar know? Does OAA know?
"Child, you have my bloodline, so in principle, you also have the ability to create things and the corresponding responsibility to maintain the normal development of the universe, so are you willing to help me transform this world together?" Igo's tone was calm and gentle.
"I... I do not know... I don't know..."Star-Lord was a little incoherent, after all these years, he had never discovered anything strange about him, nor had he awakened any superpowers.
"Don't worry, I will guide you to awaken the creative power of the gods in your body, and then teach you how to use this energy."
"Well... Good. Star-Lord was apprehensive, unsure if he would be able to awaken the power of the so-called gods, so he could only nod his head blankly.
Laura, who was secretly observing, noticed that Igo was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and it seemed that the bad old man was not sure if Star-Lord would be able to awaken.
Igo's palm on Star-Lord's shoulder was trembling slightly, not because of how difficult it was to transition his energy into Star-Lord's body, but because he couldn't suppress the complex emotions that kept coming out of his heart.
After so many years of layout, so many seeds of life have been sprinkled, but none of the fruits have been able to inherit his bloodline, to be honest, Igo is very desperate.
As a cosmic god, even if it is a congenitally stunted god, Igo has a long life that is almost equal to that of the universe.
Therefore, what he is afraid of is not waiting, what he is afraid of is hopeless waiting, what he is afraid of is that he can only be a cripple like he is now!
Igo hadn't lied to Star-Lord just now, and Meredith was indeed the only one he had ever produced
"Love" this emotion of the female. Unfortunately, the life of earthlings is too short, and their thinking is too limited, and in Igo's eyes, they are like mayflies dying in the twilight of life, and it is impossible to understand his great vision.
Now Igo only hopes that the fruit he obtained through Meredith will succeed in awakening the power of the gods, otherwise... It can only be reduced to a failed case that is dissected and recorded, and then move on to the next step of the seeding plan.
"It's... This is... I did it? Igo's chaotic thoughts were brought back to reality by Star-Lord's uncertain words, and his gaze fixed on the small white light in the center of Star-Lord's palm.
At this moment, Igo's various negative emotions were swept away, and what followed was an inextricable ecstasy.
"Hahahahaha! Good! Worthy of being my son! The emotional Igo patted Star-Lord's shoulder violently, only to dissipate the small cloud of energy in the palm of Star-Lord's hand, who had just awakened his ability.
The father and son looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
"Tsk, what did the gods of eternity add to the creation of human beings at that time? That's too compatible, isn't it? Although she has long known that according to the setting in the MCU, Star-Lord will definitely be able to awaken her abilities, but Laura, who witnessed this scene in person, still can't help but feel a little emotional.
"Take your time and don't rush! Calm down and remember the process of energy transformation just now! Hearing Iago's reminder, Star-Lord nodded and closed his eyes, and began to sink his mind to sense the energy.
"Smack!" After a while, Star-Lord opened his eyes, and a white energy mass appeared in the palm of his hand that was slightly larger than before.
Seeing that Star-Lord had even learned the initial control without a teacher, he condensed the energy in his palm into a three-dimensional pac-man the size of a baseball according to his own opinions, and then shouted happily: "Hahaha! I really made it! Igo was more excited than Star-Lord, after so many years, when he was about to despair, he met hope, he finally didn't have to go to the universe to make genetic arrangements with those strange-looking species, and Igo's joy was overflowing with the joy of finally seeing the light of day.
Star-Lord mistakenly thinks that he is sincerely happy about his son's success as a father, so he can't help but step forward and hug Igo.
"Kid! Attaboy! Working together, we father and son will definitely be able to accomplish the mission given to us by the universe! Igo, who was equally happy and excited, responded to Star-Lord's hug with open arms.
Seeing this scene, Laura, who was secretly observing, wondered when she should jump out and break the false beautiful portrait in front of her.
Just as she was about to make a move, an extremely abrupt whistle sounded.
"Whew!" At the same time, a whistle arrow struck the back of Iago's head from an extremely tricky angle, shielded and driven by the whistle.
"Poof!" The razor-sharp whistle arrow effortlessly pierced Iago's head, giving the old man a physical spin before hovering in front of Star-Lord's nose.
It happened so suddenly, and Star-Lord didn't react at all, Igo's
The "corpse" had already fallen in front of him.
"Yongdu !!" Looking at the familiar dark red whistle arrow in front of him, Star-Lord trembled and let out a roar!
"Whew!" With a clear whistle, the whistle flew backwards, and was firmly grasped by a blue-skinned hand.
Following the dark red trajectory of the sentry arrow, Star-Lord's gaze as if he was about to choose someone to devour was fixed on Yongdu.
"Why?!" Star-Lord asked through gritted teeth.
"Son, he may be your biological father, but he is definitely not the father you imagined."
"Ah!!h Star-Lord, who couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, couldn't listen to Yongdu's words at all, activated the sole thruster and rushed in front of him with a punch.
Yongdu was punched out by Star-Lord's angry punch, and flew out more than ten meters before rolling back to the ground.
Ignoring the sharp pain in his right cheek, Yongdu struggled to his feet, reached back with his right hand, felt a small 10x10 device on his lower back, and threw it at Star-Lord who flew towards him.
Enraged, Star-Lord rushed over without dodging, raising his arm to block the oncoming object, only to be trapped in place by the latter's rapid unfolding as soon as he came into contact with the device.
"This is the proud work of an old fellow from my past, a limiter specially designed to capture transhuman interstellar criminals, and it has never missed, but it will not hurt you either." Yongdu reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth twice, and walked quickly to the trapped Star-Lord.
Seeing that Star-Lord, who was impotent and furious, was still struggling, Yongdu squatted down, looked at Star-Lord's red eyes, and said with great seriousness: "Listen! The one I just killed wasn't Igo at all! It was just a human doppelganger of him! If you don't believe me, look back now! After staring at Yongdu for a few seconds, Star-Lord, who was panting, finally chose to turn his head and look in the direction of Igo's corpse.
This time, Star-Lord happened to see Igo's
The "corpse" gradually turns into a mass of silver-white energy, and is gradually absorbed by the pink earth below.
"It's... The kind of energy I just awakened? "Star-Lord's three views have undergone subtle changes again.
