Chapter 379: Conflict Opens
In just a few decades, Yondu had actually become High-level Staff at this so-called East Galaxy Company.
Although these insignificant Short-lived Races didn't have long Lifespans, it was interesting how they could bloom like different fireworks in such a short time.
However, the small East Galaxy Company, while a bit of Trouble, was just a minor inconvenience for him.
Star-Lord's Father, Ego of the Celestials, stood inside the Elevator, flipping through Intelligence reports about Yondu. While marveling at the peculiar nature of these Short-lived Races' Lives, he was just about to head to the East Galaxy Company's Headquarters to find Yondu when he suddenly heard someone mention Yondu's name. He lifted his Head and looked at the few people swaggering into the Elevator.
"Earthlings?!"
Ego looked at the four people who entered. Their familiar faces and Aura were exactly the same as the Life Form race he had seen on that Blue Planet back then.
That was also his birthplace, half of his homeland.
But because he feared the unknown Strength that had killed his mother body, he chose to flee Earth and fuse himself with the spirit of a Planet.
The Price he paid for this was becoming an underdeveloped premature infant.
However, as long as he absorbed enough Planetary Essence, he could return to normal, even surpassing the mother body that had birthed him, and become a true Celestial.
This Body of his was an Earthling Avatar specifically created to meet his Earthling son, just like when he found that Sea Race Descendant before and specifically switched to a Sea Dweller Avatar.
Hmm, this was one of the few acts of mercy he had shown his Descendants. Unfortunately, none of his thousands of Descendants could withstand his Strength, completely failing to live up to his painstaking efforts.
Adam, however, was standing in the Elevator, tilting his Head to look at the guide beside him: "That Warship Virtual Game is pretty good. I can have Elder Mandel get a set later, and I'll take it back for Father! I remember Father mentioning a type of Virtual Helmet before, something about a girlfriend simulation game, it should be similar to this Game..."
Lu Jia quickly said, "Please don't worry about that. I'll immediately notify the Company and have them prepare more. I'll bring them back for you when you return to Earth!"
Although Lu Jia didn't know what kind of girlfriend simulation game Adam was talking about, through her observations during this period, she had vaguely guessed Adam's Identity.
Let alone a few sets of Game Equipment, even if he wanted to package up the entire Fallen Star to take back, President Mand would probably approve with both hands.
The young girl's face, which was already red, faintly showed Sweatdrops. The Gaze she directed at Adam was almost enchanting, as if it had hooks.
If they could follow this Highness before them back to the Headquarters, their Identity would naturally rise significantly.
"Where did you get the idea that Warship Simulation is the same as a girlfriend simulation game? And that 'girlfriend simulation' thing clearly isn't a normal Game, hey!" Black Bolt watched the 'filial' Adam with cold eyes, unable to resist complaining.
But he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, this Galaxy World City would explode. Having pretended to be mute for decades, Black Bolt had never felt this uncomfortable before today.
However, this Galaxy World City truly opened his eyes. Here, he saw all sorts of strange and bizarre Extraterrestrial Life Forms, various entertainment facilities... Robot fighting competitions, Virtual Games, pet contests, alien strippers... There were even Silicon-Based Lifeforms, some mechanical Life Forms joining in the fun by holding a modification competition. As for what they modified, it was naturally their Bodies.
Right next to them, a group of Robots were pouring engine oil mixed with high-proof alcohol into their mouths, saying they were learning from Carbon-Based Life by holding a wine-tasting competition.
Anyway, he couldn't imagine what drinking engine oil felt like.
Hmm? Black Bolt tilted his Head, glancing at Adam, but inadvertently saw an Elder in the Elevator's Corner, staring intently at them with a piercing Gaze.
"The pet competition on the twenty-ninth floor is also good. Later, I'll borrow Big Brother Kane's King Ghidorah. Do you think it can beat that Champion Strange Dragon!!"
"It can definitely win! If you want to participate in the Competition, I'll immediately tell Supervisor Paul and have him arrange it!"
Lu Jia and Lu Na surrounded Adam, chatting and laughing sweetly, completely unaware of how terrifying the King Ghidorah Adam mentioned actually was. It could be said that King Ghidorah could send the entire Galaxy World City flying into the sky with just a casual flap of its Wings.
The two young girls exchanged glances, calculating whether they should greet Supervisor Paul and perhaps inject the Champion Strange Dragon with some Tranquilizer beforehand, so that the pet named King Ghidorah could achieve Victory.
Black Bolt, however, patted Adam's Shoulder and nodded towards the side.
Adam, filled with Doubt, looked in the Direction Black Bolt was pointing and noticed the Elder who was looking their way.
"Huh? Are you an Earthling?"
Adam sized up Ego, scratching his Head with some Doubt: "Your Aura feels really strange. Have we met somewhere before!"
"You're from Earth, what a coincidence! That was once half of my homeland, and my mother is buried there!" Ego looked at Adam and Black Bolt beside him, then switched to English and said, "I heard you mention Yondu. Are you people from the East Galaxy Company?"
"Find those three people who bought Mr. Yondu's Intelligence! Keep an eye on them, and after they leave the Planet, quietly take control of them!"
At this moment, Paul, who had arrived on the thirty-sixth floor, had already obtained the Information he wanted from two Intelligence Brokers. Just as he walked out of the Intelligence office's Gate, he turned and instructed the Subordinate beside him.
Considering the reputation of Fallen Star, even if those three people were enemies of their East Galaxy Company, they couldn't Take Action on their Territory. They would wait until they left Fallen Star before acting, and if necessary, they could just push the Matters onto the Space Pirates.
Following behind Paul, a Subordinate with a large Head, small Body, extremely disproportionate build, and resembling a pea, quickly brought up the Galaxy World City's Surveillance feed after Paul gave the Order. A moment later, he found Groot and Drax within the Galaxy World City's Surveillance.
However, just as he found the Figure of the person named Ego in the Surveillance Network, his Action suddenly froze.
"Supervisor, take a look at this?"
"What's wrong? Don't make a fuss!" Paul's four Octopus legs wriggled, and he turned his Head to look at the Video feed his Subordinate had pulled up. When he saw Adam and the others together with the guy named Ego in the Elevator, he swallowed hard.
How could these VIPs from the Headquarters be together with him? Or rather, were they people sent by the Headquarters to inquire about Yondu's Intelligence?
This Matter should be immediately Reported to Mr. Mand.
Before Paul could figure out the complexities of the situation, an Incident suddenly occurred in the Elevator.
As the first Mature Golden Attendant, Adam had fused various Gene Fragments Inside his Body, including King Ghidorah, Alien, and Perfect Blood. Afterwards, he received the Method of God-Demon Transformation from Boss Tang.
In recent years, he had been Cultivating in Seclusion in Great Luo Heaven. His Cultivation Base had even surpassed Frank, directly catching up to the Kane and Lane Brothers.
The Instinct of the divine beasts formed by the Gene Fragments Inside his Body and the God-Demon Transformation he cultivated allowed him to keenly sense the hidden Malice in this seemingly kind Old Man before him.
And the first thing Adam was told when training under Kane and Shadow Storm was that when encountering Prey that is hostile towards you, if you are stronger than them, do not hold back. Strike first and kill them!
Without even greeting Black Bolt beside him, Adam clenched his Fist and blasted towards Ego.
Ego was greeting Adam and the others with a face full of Smiles, considering using these Earthlings to find Yondu's Whereabouts. He even suspected that his Earthling Descendant should also know these people.
How could he have expected that while they were talking pleasantly, the Strong man opposite him, nearly two point three or four meters in Height, would suddenly launch a Fist Sneak Attack on him, an Elder?
It could be said that although Adam didn't use his full Strength with this Fist, the continuously flowing Magic Power Inside his Body had already surged out through his Fist, transforming into countless Lightning flashes surrounding his fist wind. Before the Lightning torrent even reached Ego, it had already completely destroyed the Elevator car behind him, which was made of Alien Alloy, revealing the jade-like tree trunk Wall behind the Elevator.
Although he didn't know why this Earthling before him would Take Action against him, Ego was not afraid in the slightest. He let out a cold snort and likewise swung his fist to meet Adam's Attack. The powerful Celestial Energy Inside his Body surged towards Adam like a tidal wave, counterattacking.
"Alarm, Alarm, detecting high-intensity Energy signature..."
A piercing Scream came from the mouth of the Robot elevator operator. Before its Alarm sound could finish, the Energy Fluctuation generated by the Explosion instantly engulfed it, blasting it into countless Metal fragments in an instant.
"Expert!"
Adam looked at Ego, who had taken his Fist, and with a wave of his hand, sent the two young guides and Black Bolt, whom he had just protected with Magic Power, far away.
"You seem to have Malice towards me. Why?"
Adam blinked his Eyes, looking at Ego, who had taken his Fist, and asked with Doubt: "This is my first time on this Planet. Is it because of the East Galaxy Company?"
Ego never expected Adam's Divine Sense to be so sharp, detecting his deeply hidden Malice. Although he had taken Adam's Fist, the powerful Electric Current had made his Body numb, making it difficult to even speak.
Adam saw that the Elder before him clearly didn't want to answer. Adhering to the principle of striking first, the Magic Power Inside his Body erupted. Instantly, a layer of cyan-green Skin condensed on the surface of his Body.
He threw a Fist towards Ego. The scorching white Lightning directly condensed into a thick Lightning Beam!
Just as Ego swung his fist to block.
*Boom*, Adam suddenly changed his move. With a large Rotating turn, his heavy punch slammed fiercely into Ego's face like a Fuel-Air Explosive (FAE) Bomb.
Ego's Head directly slammed heavily into the cracked carriage Wall, creating a V-shaped Depression in the thick tree fortress Wall.
A torrent of Lightning as thick as a water vat erupted from Adam's Fist. The fist wind, carrying a piercing Whistle that could shatter the Divine Soul with Terror, slammed straight into Ego's Body,
It blasted a Large Pit directly through the ten-meter-thick jade-like giant tree Wall, and the scorching Electric Current fist wind directly burned Ego's Skin, making it wrinkled and cracked.
"**!" The trembling Ego struggled to climb out of the Large Pit in the jade-like tree fortress Wall. He touched his gums, looked at Adam with surprise in his Eyes, and muttered softly, "Damn it, you almost knocked out my teeth! Are Earthlings this terrifying now?!"
Coughing a few times, Ego awkwardly climbed up from the Ground, looked at Adam, and argued, "I didn't have Malice..."
After a moment of silence, Adam shook his Head: "You can't fool me. I can feel your hidden Malice towards me. Master Shadow Storm said that when facing Prey, you must use all your Strength to kill it!"
Saying this, Adam waved his hand. Before him appeared twelve Gold Armored Corpses. Hmm, these Gold Armored Corpses all carried thick Main Energy Cannons on their Shoulders. The Gun Ports of the Main Energy Cannons were all Aiming at Ego's Head.
Ego was stunned, watching with wide Eyes as these Gold Armored Corpses, which closely resembled Sovereigns, pulled the Triggers of the Main Energy Cannons in their hands, weapons normally only mounted on Tier 2 Warships.
"Boom!"
Ego gathered all the Energy in his Body, wanting to resist this wave of Attack, but he forgot that at this moment, he was just a Clone.
After a loud bang, a Human Form Hole was blasted directly through the jade-like tree fortress of Galaxy World City. Ego's Body was blasted over ten kilometers away, smashing through two Shuttles before finally managing to stop himself.
"You have successfully angered me, Humanity!"
Ego floated in mid-air, red Blood Water oozing from the corner of his mouth. However, at this moment, he was like a giant light bulb, emitting vigorous Energy from his entire Body, or like a giant Energy hedgehog.
"You will pay the Price!"
Torrents of bursting Energy Particles scattered hundreds of meters from Ego's Body. For a moment, the Magnetic Field across the entire surface of Fallen Star was altered.
Many Armed Robots that had rushed in as Reinforcements after the Alarm sounded directly plummeted towards the Ground, emitting Black Smoke, in this Energy Storm.
For a time, Gunsmoke billowed across the surface of Fallen Star. Many Space Pirates, seeing the surrounding Chaos, also began to stir.
Looking at his masterpiece, Ego ignored the fact that this Earthling Clone couldn't withstand his Energy outburst and was showing signs of turning into an energy form. He spread his hand, and an Energy Whip spanning dozens of kilometers was about to lash towards the giant tree.
"Initiate Tier 1 Alert! Quickly, quickly, quickly! Mobilize all Mechanical Guards! Protect the VIPs first, make sure nothing happens to them here!!"
Supervisor Paul of Galaxy World City, an Octopus-man, realized something was wrong the moment he saw Adam and Ego fighting. He immediately Ordered his Subordinates to initiate Galaxy World City's Tier 1 Alert and dispatched a large number of Armed Robots towards Adam's Direction.
However, duels between Experts often happen in the blink of an eye. Before his Manpower could arrive, Ego had already been blasted away by over a dozen Energy Cannons.
"Enemy?"
Adam moved his limbs, circulating the Magic Power Inside his Body. A surge of Bloodline Power covered the ends of his Gene Particles, and Adam's Body was instantly covered in cyan-green Skin.
At the same time, a purple horn slowly grew from his Forehead. As purple Thunder and Lightning flashed on the horn, Dark Clouds gathered in the sky above his Head, a Gale raged, and countless Thunderbolts fell like a rain shower, forming a cyan-green One-Horned Kui Niu Dharma Idol behind him.
Just as Adam was about to control the Thunder Power and fly forward to kill Ego.
Beside him, a slightly hoarse Voice, one that seemed unused for a long time and was struggling to adapt, sounded.
Adam turned his Head to look. Black Bolt had suddenly appeared beside him at this moment, facing the Enemy in the distant sky that was emitting a thousand-meter-long Energy Wave.
As he opened his mouth, countless electromagnetic forces around him were absorbed, transforming into a sonic scream that blasted towards Ego.
"Boom!"
This sonic scream blasted beside Ego, and instantly a Mushroom Cloud, resembling a Nuclear Bomb Explosion, rose from the spot.
Adam stared dumbfounded at Black Bolt beside him.
"Mr. Black Bolt, no wonder you rarely speak!"
"Easy to injure others!"
As Black Bolt uttered those six words, Ego, who had just been blasted up, his Flesh and Blood torn apart, revealing a body composed of Energy, had his Body instantly submerged by the Explosion.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom—"
