Chapter 189 Prelude to the Battle
Six hours later, planet b-114528.
Rows of uniform alliance warships are stagnant in the orbit of the planet. All the soldiers on the warships hold their breath and wait for the monster that destroyed dozens of alliance planets to appear.
"Sir...sir, can we...defeat that monster?"
A young recruit tremblingly asked the commander of the battleship next to him.
This was his first time on the battlefield. Although he had longing for the battle heroes of the empire in his heart, he was more apprehensive and afraid.
Fear of war, fear of death!
After hearing this, the commander of the battleship did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while before saying: "Soldier, I have participated in more than 300 battles in my life, and I understand a truth, no war is inevitable, so I can't Give you the exact answer!"
"...Then shall we die?"
"Without that war, no one would die! My teacher, the group of in the same class as me, and my students are all dead. Only my luck has survived until now! But some things I know If you die, do it!"
"Why? Knowing that you will die, why do you do it?"
The recruit wondered.
"Soldier, I can't answer your too lofty answer, the peace of the universe, the future of the empire... These are in my eyes, the only reason I have been fighting is to protect the one I love, my daughter Millie Yam! And you...is there anyone you want to protect?"
"I want... someone to protect..."
The recruit murmured, recalling a girl in his hometown who was waiting for him to go back.
On a piece of green grass, a man and a woman hug each other.
The boy said happily: "I have passed the recruit test, and I will soon become a glorious imperial soldier! When I become a general, I will come back and marry you!"
After hearing this, the girl didn't have any happy expression, she just lowered her head silently and murmured: "Can...can I not go!"
After hearing this, the boy immediately retorted: "How can I do that, this is my dream all along!"
"But... I'm afraid you're in danger!"
"Don't worry, my actual combat result is the first in the whole grade!"
"..."
In this way, after the boy left the girl and left a promise, he boarded the imperial spaceship that came to pick him up, leaving the girl standing alone on the grass.
"I want to... protect her!"
The recruit murmured.
"So, for the one you love, fight bravely! And... you must do your best to survive!"
The commander patted the recruit on the shoulder and said with a serious expression.
"Yes, sir!"
The recruit immediately saluted seriously.
———
In the dark space of the universe, a huge planet, contrary to common sense, is flying across the starry sky of the universe at an extremely fast speed, flying towards planet b-114528.
This planet is the star of Yi Ge, the body of Yi Ge of the Celestial Race.
"Son, I will give you one last chance, join me!"
Yi Ge said coldly to Xingjue who was next to him.
After nearly a month of persuasion, his offspring is still stubborn, and he has gradually lost patience.
If you refuse to join, then go to hell! It happened to devour the energy of the gods in his body to strengthen his own power!
Yi Ge has already murdered Xingjue and others in his heart.
"Dream, old guy, the only thing I want to do is kill you!"
Star-Lord growled.
"In this case, you and your companions wait to die!"
Egg turned and left.
He had already planned in his heart that after destroying the ants in front of him, he would come back and devour the energy of the gods on Xingjue.
It's not that he doesn't want to kill now, but that during the refining process of devouring the energy of the gods, there is a period of weakness. This period of weakness is nothing in normal times, but it is fatal in war, and it is easy to be used by the enemy, even if it has the upper hand. Turn defeat into victory.
"Quiel, I don't think it's a wise choice for you to provoke him at this time! Why don't you pretend to agree to him, first find a way to get away and then talk..."
Rocket Raccoon, who was hanging in mid-air next to him, complained.
"iamgrout!"
Groot, the tree man next to him, voiced his approval.
"This reckless guy, his brain is probably full of water!"
Camorra said disdainfully.
Thanos sent her out to look for the cosmic spirit ball, so she followed Xingjue and others who possessed the spirit ball all the way, but was unfortunately captured by Yi Ge.
Drax directly extended his to express his contempt.
This guy is an extremely powerful existence in the comics, with the title of 'Destroyer', but unfortunately he was cut into a dog in the movie.
"Hey, how can this be my fault? Do you want me to call that disgusting old guy... Dad? yue!"
Xingjue retorted angrily.
"..."
Just when the few people were arguing, Egg's maid, the Mantis Girl, came in with a bunch of weird-shaped bugs.
"This is your food for today!"
The mantis woman handed a few big bugs to Xingjue's mouth.
"Hey, I'm a human, not an insect!"
Star-Lord struggled and shouted.
"Quiel, you idiot is good at eating bugs!"
"iamgrout!"
"No, I don't want to eat—"
Mantis Girl ignored Xingjue's shouting and forcefully stuffed the bug into his mouth.
"Hahaha-"
Seeing Xingjue's miserable appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, after feeding Xingjue, Mantis Girl immediately turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "Now it's your turn."
Their smiles froze instantly.
———
"Why don't you come?"
"Do you think that monster will know that we have set up a net here, and we are too scared to come!"
"It's also possible. After all, this is the first joint battle of the three empires in history. The scale and strength are unprecedented!"
"Then our preparation for so long has not been in vain!"
"No, that monster must be back! Its purpose is to devour all our planets of life! Our main forces are gathered together, and it is a good opportunity for it to destroy us in one fell swoop. After destroying us, it can devour planets of life with impunity. ."
After the budgeted time, Yigo hadn't brought his huge planet to planet b-114528, and everyone couldn't help but start talking.
"Arthur, what do you think?"
Captain Marvel asked Arthur next to him.
"It will come!"
Arthur gave an affirmative answer.
Yi Ge's own strength has already reached the level of the heavenly father, and with the addition of the power gem, it is even more powerful, and he doesn't take these people's resistance seriously at all.
"Beep, beep, please pay attention! Please pay attention! A huge energy body was found at the location of xxx!!"
The brain of the battleship, which has been monitoring, issued a loud siren.
Chapter 190 The Scary Egg
"The target appears, please pay attention to all departments! Please pay attention to all departments!!"
The news instantly spread throughout the fleet of battleships stretching tens of thousands of kilometers.
"Everyone is there, ready to fight!!"
Under the orders of the three representatives of the empire, the battleship group immediately began to mobilize, ready to go into battle.
"Buzz buzz—"
The star of Egg has finally arrived.
The people on the battleship in the distance can observe the planet without even using the probe, which shows how huge it is.
"attack!!"
"Shhhhhh!!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
Thousands of warships immediately pressed the attack button.
Numerous energy bombs and lasers were densely packed like raindrops, and they flew towards Yigo Star at an extremely fast speed.
"Boom-boom-boom-"
The star of Yigo was hit instantly, and a series of huge explosions occurred, stirring up dust all over the sky, covering the sky and blocking the sun, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
"Success!"
"What kind of planet monster is nothing in front of our powerful firepower!"
"All fear stems from the lack of firepower. Our attack just now is enough to destroy any planet. I don't believe it can withstand it!"
Before the dust cleared, the soldiers of the Alliance cheered first.
After a while, the dust gradually dissipated, revealing the intact Egg Star.
"My God, it's... all right?!"
"How is it possible? Such a powerful attack can..."
"Nightmare...it's a terrible nightmare!"
Seeing the intact Egg Star, the Union soldiers who were cheering just now were all stunned and couldn't believe the facts before them.
"It's a protective shield!!"
Everyone looked carefully, only to find that the surface of the planet was covered with a light purple energy shield.
The command room of the main ship.
"impossible!"
The technician exclaimed, attracting the attention of everyone in the command room.
"Calm down, what happened?"
Zana, the representative of the Kree Empire, hurriedly asked.
"This...it's impossible to do. A protective shield covering a planet...this requires an enormous amount of energy, and there is no energy source in the universe that can support it!"
The technician looks at the data on the screen in disbelief.
The scene in front of him was like a slap on his face, shattering his three views.
"No, there is this energy source!"
Arthur, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke out.
"what?"
"Cosmic spirit ball, or... power gem!"
"What? The Cosmic Spirit Orb is the legendary... Infinity Gem!!"
Everyone was shocked.
The legend of infinite gems is not a secret in this universe, and many forces know it.
Legend has it that as long as you collect all 6 infinite gems, you can gain unparalleled power, thereby dominating the universe, and even realizing any wish in your heart.
But no one knows where the Infinity Stones are, and no one has ever found them, let alone collected them.
Now, the mysterious infinite gems actually appeared in front of them.
"The attack is over? Then it's up to me!"
Egg looked at the rows of battleships and sneered.
"Om—"
The terrifying mental storm was launched instantly, and layers of rippled mental waves quickly attacked the battleship group.
"Boom bang bang bang bang—"
Thousands of warships on the periphery exploded one after another like a firecracker.
"Turn on the protective shield!!"
Following the command of the commander, a protective cover like an eggshell was instantly deployed on the rows of battleships, blocking Yi Ge's thought force wave.
However, the surrounding meteorites were not so lucky. Under the action of Nian Libo, they exploded instantly.
This was still Yi Ge's probing attack.
"Just...one attack destroyed nearly one-tenth of our fleet!"
"This monster... is really scary!"
"Can we really stop this monster?"
"..."
…
…
"It seems that ordinary attacks won't work. Prepare to execute the plan. It will be up to you later, Carol!"
Zana, the representative of the Cree Empire, spoke.
Star Destroyer, a strategic weapon, is only carried on a few main ships.
Since the discovery of Egg, the energy storage has begun, and it will be completed soon.
Why not put one on every battleship?
One is fear of abuse. There are not many living planets, and one less is destroyed. Just like the nuclear weapons on the earth, the deterrent effect is greater than the actual effect.
Every use of Star Destroyer weapons must be strictly approved by the upper echelons of the empire, and invaders like the Chitauri naturally use them recklessly.
The second is the lack of energy. Only a few main ships are equipped with enough energy to complete the energy storage of the Star Destroyer Cannon, and other warships cannot do it.
"I will do my best!"
Captain Marvel replied.
Captain Marvel, who had personally experienced Egg's power, didn't dare to make a promise at this time.
Egg was strong, very strong, definitely above her.
"call out!"
Captain Marvel flew out of the skylight of the battleship and flew quickly in the direction of Yi Ge.
"You can actually block my attack, let's see how many times you can block it!"
Seeing that his Psychic Storm was blocked by the opponent's protective shield, Yi Ge sneered and prepared to attack again.
"call out!"
"Boom—"
A dazzling wave of light hit his shield.
"who?!!"
Seeing someone sneaking up on him, Yi Ge roared angrily, and then quickly observed with his divine sense.
It was discovered that there was a woman exuding golden light outside the planet, and it was Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel kept waving his hands, releasing waves of light on the protective shield.
The energy contained in the light waves is extremely powerful, blasting the protective cover into ripples, and it seems that it will not be able to support it.
"go to hell!"
Ego immediately used his divine power to control the sand and rocks on the surface of the planet to form a huge arm reaching the sky, like a huge mountain range, passing through the protective shield, and grabbing towards Captain Marvel, threatening to crush her.
I saw Captain Marvel clashing his fists, and instantly entered the double star form.
Hair and eyes all exude a dazzling golden light.
Then it slammed straight into Yi Ge's huge arm.
"Boom—"
Captain Marvel's body passed directly through the center of the huge arm, and the energy on his body destroyed all the structures where he passed.
"Boom—"
The huge arm collapsed, and the wreckage turned into cosmic dust.
"Besides the man in the cloak, is there such a strong man?"
Egg said in shock.
"boom!!"
Captain Marvel clenched his right fist, and then slammed on the shield of Egg Star.
"Crack—"
The shield was suddenly shattered under the action of powerful energy.
Hell dimension.
"This... How do humans do it? Watching
the tools he used to disgust that bastard human being solved in two or three strokes, Mephisto was full of mixed tastes in his heart.
In his impression, almost no one could kill the evil spirit knight he created.
After all, he is the strongest of the seven lords of hell, and the people who are stronger than him in the entire universe are not enough to count two palms, and the last battle with that human was only between Bozhong, and no one can help anyone!
Mephisto would never have guessed that Arthur controlled 12 powerful rule powers in addition to his great power.
"Or throw you to the moon?" No, no, it's too close, humans still go up a lot, it won't be good if I bring you back and continue to disgust me! You can't stay in the solar system, so send you farther!
Arthur looked at the embarrassed Dracula and said tangledly.
Then I thought of the space where I fought with the Chitari, which was far enough from Earth.
"Nope... Superman, you can't do that!
Dracula said in a panic.
He was really afraid, even in the face of God.
God sealed him for thousands of years at most, and he still had hope to escape, and Superman actually wanted to exile him to the unknown universe, Superman was much more vicious than God.
"Why not? What reason do I have to let you go?
Arthur teased.
"Super... Superman, let me go, how about I help you control the Blood Clan?
Dracula suggested.
"Why should I control the Blood Clan?"
".. Superman, the wealth and power accumulated by the Blood Clan over thousands of years is unimaginable, and there are millions of Blood Clan, they are not a small force... As long as you let me go, it's all yours!
"Hahaha, confused! You're gone, these are mine too!
Arthur suddenly changed his face.
Originally, he also planned to kill the blood clan, but realized that the blood tribe and humans were too deeply bound, and it was almost impossible to uproot it, Dracula's words woke him up, since even the hydra was accepted as a dog, why not accept another blood clan.
Alliance games, naturally, the more people, the more fun, when the time comes, if you don't want it, you will directly throw it aside.
Yes, everything that Arthur has come up with now, he only treats it as a game, whether it is a superhero or a hero association... Everything is because it is fun, nothing more!
"Superman, do you really want to kill them all?"
Dracula gritted his teeth, ready to fight to the death.
"You don't think you have a chance to resist, do you?"
Arthur scoffed.
"Damn it, I fought with you!"
Dracula shouted and rushed towards Arthur.
"Snap!"
Arthur directly slapped over, and Dracula instantly rotated 1800 degrees in place, and his head was crooked.
This damage is not worth mentioning for Dracula, who has an immortal body, but it is not much damage and is extremely insulting.
In less than a second, Dracula was back in his original state.
"Superman, you can't kill a soldier!"
Dracula said with red eyes and indignation.
"Yo, I also learned Chinese classical Chinese! But you're a vampire! "
Snap! Syllable! Snap..." Li
Ye was not used to him at all, and continuously pumped his face with a big force.
"Whew - cool!"
After smoking for a long time, Arthur stopped.
At this time, Dracula no longer dared to speak hard, for fear that Arthur would pump him again, although he could recover, but it was particularly painful!
Immediately, Arthur cast a gravitational cage and directly imprisoned Dracula.
"Super... Superman, what have you done to me? Why can't I move!"
Dracula panicked.
This cage can't even break free from the Hulk who eats with strength, let alone Dracula, who is good at spells.
"It's time to take you to your new home!"
Arthur said with a smile, and then cast a teleportation and disappeared with Dracula.
"Phew!"
Arthur's figure appeared in the space where he fought with the Qitari people last time, not long time has passed, and there are many spaceships that were destroyed by Arthur nearby.
Because Arthur was to this place last time, the system has recorded the coordinates, so teleportation can jump directly here, even Arthur does not know how many light years from the earth, but it is definitely outside the solar system.
"This is your destination!"
Arthur said with a smile.
Dracula opened his mouth excitedly, as if he was saying something, but there was no sound, and the vacuum could not make a sound.
Arthur scanned the neighborhood with his super vision and soon found a planet full of deserts.
This kind of planet has no resources, it is basically a death star, and no spacecraft will be bored enough to land there.
"Three, two, one, go!"
Then he threw Dracula out hard.
"Phew!"
Dracula blasted towards the Death Star at great speed, struggling constantly, but never being able to escape the gravitational cage.
If nothing else, Dracula will stay on it for a long, long time, until it completely collapses, voluntarily giving up the power of the blood race origin and dying.
Later, it was not about Arthur's affairs, and he teleported directly back to Earth.
". Superman is gone with the ancestor!
"It should be sealed!"
"So what do we do now?"
"Is it to avenge the ancestor or... Surrender!
"Are you crazy? Looking for Superman for revenge? Go to death yourself, don't pull up the entire blood clan! "
The Blood Clan has a heated discussion about this.
Of course, these blood clans could only make suggestions, and the final decision-making power was still on the three elders.
"... According to the original plan, surrender to Superman? The
white-haired elder asked.
"Yes, there is no second way!"
The female elder replied.
"Agreed!"
The blonde elder nodded indifferently in agreement.
In this way, the entire Bloods are ready to surrender to Superman... As for whether Superman accepts it or not, I don't know.
the White House.
A group of politicians got together again for the Superman thing.
On the big screen is a video of Superman and Dracula's battle, and the building that has only been partially restored not long ago is in ruins again.
"Superman is getting more and more excessive!"
"This battle, he can completely be outside the city!"
"I didn't put America in my eyes at all!"
"Look, let's back down step by step in exchange for such a result!"
"He has caused more damage than aliens, and he is the biggest demon!"
This group of politicians is full of righteous indignation and constantly counts the crimes of Superman.
"Snap!"
"What's the use of saying this, we can't take him at all, don't call me this meaningless meeting in the future!"
A politician suddenly slapped the table.
Everyone
who heard this was silent and had to admit this fact.
"Everyone... I have a secret weapon that may be able to deal with Superman! If successful, Superman will become our strongest sword and shield in the United States! Just
then, the door suddenly opened and an American colonel walked in.
Everyone couldn't help frowning, the colonel's identity was not qualified to come here, but hearing his words, he still forcibly endured it.
"Who are you and what is your solution?"
The President of the United States, sitting in the throne, asked.
"I'm a colonel affiliated with the military, you can call me Stryker!"
(All the plot takes place after Tony reveals his identity as Iron Man!) )
"Colonel Stryker, please be specific!"
The President of the United States said politely.
He even asked the secretary to add a stool for Stryker to sit on.
Of course, this is just a show, and if Stryker can't say why, or if it's a piece of defense, the president won't hesitate to kick him out.
"Yes, Mr. President!"
Stryker pulled his collar, he had to behave well in front of this group of top American bigwigs, which was related to whether he could gain more power and accomplish the goal in his heart.
"... I have studied mutants for many years, even my wife died at the hands of mutants, and I hate mutants..."
Strykerbara did not get to the point for a long time, how to deal with Superman, what mutants have been pulling.
"Stop!"
The president interrupted him directly.
"Colonel Stryker, I hope you know that each of us is very busy, and the reason why we are willing to spend time here now is to hear you talk about ways to deal with Superman, please don't say these irrelevant things anymore, otherwise please go out!"
"Irrelevant things?"
When Stryker heard the president say that his wife's death was an insignificant matter, his face instantly became ugly, and he wanted to slam the door and leave, but he still endured it.
"The way I am talking about dealing with Superman, or weapons, a special mutant, his ability is mind control, he can create illusions to manipulate anyone, as long as we succeed in controlling Superman, the United States will unify the world.."
"Whew-"
When the people present heard Stryker's plan, they all exhaled heavily, no way, the blueprint to unify the world was too tempting.
"..Is that mutant believable? As we all know, Superman has a very good relationship with mutants, and even let them join the Hero Guild and become superheroes!"
Soon there were questions raised by politicians.
"Don't worry, he has been controlled by me with drugs and completely brainwashed into being my person!"
Stryker smiled.
"That's okay!"
"Treat this group of mutants like this, never trust them!"
"It's really a good idea to control with drugs!"
Everyone admired Stryker's methods.
"... So, can I ask what is his relationship with you?
At this time, the politician who had just asked the question asked again.
"He's my son!"
Stryker smiled, looking indifferent.
"?!! "
Hearing this answer, everyone widened their eyes and looked at Stryker in disbelief.
Tiger poison is still not eaten, and this person in front of him would actually do such a cruel thing to his own child, and he still looks indifferent, could it be that his heart and liver have been eaten by demons?
"Guys, how's it going?"
Stryker asked expectantly.
"Last question, are you sure that mutant's abilities will be useful to Superman?"
The president asked in a calm tone, directly asking the most core question.
The figure who can become the president of the United States will naturally not be so simple to be seduced by Stryker.
Stryker
paused there for a moment, and after half a silence, he replied in a low voice: "I…. Up in the air!
"What? The uncertain plan is still coming out, is it to kill us?
"Superman's anger is not so simple, and even the entire United States may be in danger!"
"You bastard, you actually dare to lie to us!"
"Hurry up and me, otherwise I'll let you mess around in the army and believe it or not!"
When these politicians heard that the plan was not sure whether it would succeed, they immediately turned their faces and cursed Colonel Stryker, and finally they angrily threw Stryker out of the room.
The main thing is that Superman's revenge is too terrible, and without 100% certainty, they dare not act against Superman.
"Wait, Colonel Stryker~"
Just as Stryker walked out of the White House with a lost soul, a voice suddenly stopped him.
He turned his head and saw that it was actually the secretary of the president.
"You don't know what's going on with me?"
Stryker wondered.
"Mr. Stryker, the president has a request!"
The secretary replied politely.
"President?"
After Arthur sent
Dracula to the universe -
-, he quickly found the base camp of the Blood Clan.
"Your Excellency Superman, welcome to the Blood Clan Gathering Place!"
The three Blood Clan elders led a group of Blood Clan to greet Arthur at the door.
"What do you mean by that?"
Chapter 190 The Terrifying Ego
"Target sighted! All departments, attention! All departments, attention!!!"
The message instantly spread through the fleet of warships stretching tens of thousands of kilometers.
"All units, prepare for battle!!!"
Under the command of the three Empire representatives, the fleet immediately began to mobilize, preparing to engage in battle.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
Ego finally arrived.
People on distant warships could observe the Planet even without detectors, showing how massive its size was.
"Attack!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Tens of thousands of warships immediately pressed their attack buttons.
Countless energy projectiles and lasers rained down, flying towards Ego at an extremely fast speed.
"Rumble—rumble—rumble—"
Ego was instantly hit, and a series of huge explosions occurred, stirring up a sky full of dust that blotted out the sun, making it impossible to see.
"It worked!!!"
"What kind of Planet monster? It's nothing in the face of our powerful Firepower!"
"All fear stems from insufficient Firepower. Our attack just now was enough to destroy any Planet; I don't believe it can still hold up!"
Before the dust had even settled, the Alliance soldiers began to cheer.
After a while, the dust gradually dispersed, revealing the perfectly intact Ego.
"Oh my god, it's… unharmed?!!!"
"How is that possible? Such a powerful attack actually…"
"Nightmare… This is a terrible nightmare!"
Seeing the intact Ego, the Alliance soldiers who had just been cheering were all dumbfounded, unable to believe the reality before their eyes.
"It's a shield!!!"
Everyone looked closely and realized that the Planet's surface was covered with a faint purple energy shield.
Main ship command center.
"Impossible!"
A technician's exclamation drew everyone's attention in the command center.
"Calm down, what happened?"
Kree Empire representative Zana quickly asked.
"This… it's simply impossible to do. A shield covering an entire Planet… This requires an incredibly vast amount of energy. There is no energy source in the Universe that can sustain it!"
The technician said incredulously, looking at the data on the screen.
The scene before him was like a slap to his face, shattering his worldview.
"No, there is such an energy source!"
Li Ye, who had been silent beside them, suddenly spoke.
"What is it?"
"The Cosmic Orb, or rather… the Power Stone!"
"What? The Cosmic Orb is the legendary… Infinity Stones!!!"
Everyone was shocked.
The legend of the Infinity Stones was no secret in this Universe; many factions knew about it.
Legend had it that by collecting all six Infinity Stones, one could gain unparalleled power, dominate the Universe, and even fulfill any wish in their heart.
But no one knew the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones, nor had anyone ever found them, let alone collected them.
Now, the mysterious Infinity Stones had appeared before them.
"Are your attacks finished? Then it's my turn!"
Ego sneered, looking at the rows of warships.
"Buzz—"
A terrifying psychic storm instantly erupted, and layers of ripple-like psychic waves rapidly struck the fleet.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang—"
Thousands of warships on the periphery instantly exploded like firecrackers, one after another.
"Activate shields!!!"
At the Commander's order, a shield resembling an eggshell instantly unfolded on rows of warships, blocking Ego's psychic waves.
However, the surrounding asteroids were not so lucky; under the effect of the psychic waves, they instantly shattered.
This was just Ego's probing attack.
"Just… one attack, and it destroyed nearly a tenth of our fleet!"
"This monster… is truly terrifying!"
"Can we really stop this monster?"
"…"
…"It seems ordinary attacks won't work. Prepare to execute the plan. It's all up to you, Carol!"
Kree Empire representative Zana said.
Planet-destroying cannons, strategic-level weapons, were only carried on a few main ships.
From the moment Ego was discovered, they began charging, and it was almost complete.
Why not equip every warship with one?
Firstly, there was fear of misuse. Life-bearing Planets were not abundant; destroying one meant one less, much like Earth's nuclear weapons, where their deterrent effect outweighed their practical use.
Each use of a Planet-destroying weapon had to undergo strict approval from the Empire's upper echelons, while invaders like the Chitauri naturally used them indiscriminately.
Secondly, there was insufficient energy. Only the energy provided on a few main ships was enough to complete the charging of the Planet-destroying cannons; other warships could not do so.
"I'll do my best!"
Captain Marvel replied.
Having personally experienced Ego's power, Captain Marvel was now unwilling to make any guarantees.
Ego was strong, extremely strong, and his power was definitely above hers.
"Whoosh!"
Captain Marvel flew out of the warship's skylight, rapidly heading towards Ego.
"You can block my attack? Let's see how many times you can block it!"
Seeing his psychic storm blocked by the opponent's shield, Ego sneered and prepared to launch another attack.
"Whoosh!"
"Rumble—"
A dazzling wave of light slammed into his shield.
"Who?!!!!"
Seeing someone ambush him, Ego roared in anger, then quickly used his divine sense to observe.
He discovered that outside the Planet was a woman radiating golden light all over her body, who was Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel continuously waved her hands, releasing waves of light that pounded the shield.
The energy contained in the light waves was extremely powerful, creating ripples in the shield, which looked like it was about to give way.
"Die!"
Ego immediately used his divine power to control the sand and rocks on the Planet's surface, forming a giant arm that reached up to the sky, like a massive mountain range. It passed through the shield and grabbed towards Captain Marvel, intending to crush her.
Captain Marvel brought her fists together, instantly entering her Binary form.
Her hair and eyes all glowed with dazzling golden light.
Then she directly crashed into Ego's giant arm.
"Bang—"
Captain Marvel's body passed directly through the center of the giant arm, and the energy from her body destroyed the structure of everything in her path.
"Rumble—"
The giant arm collapsed with a roar, its remnants turning into cosmic dust.
"Besides that person in the cloak, there's actually another strong one like this on the other side?"
Ego said in shock.
"Boom!!!"
Captain Marvel clenched her right fist, then slammed it hard onto Ego's shield.
"Crack—"
Under the powerful energy, the shield suddenly shattered
Chapter 191 Heavenly God
Under Captain Marvel's powerful Binary form, Ego's shield shattered like glass.
"How is this possible? How could you break my shield!"
Ego was utterly shocked.
He had lived for millions of years, encountered countless enemies, and even the cloaked individual he met last time couldn't break his shield. This was the first time in history.
He didn't know that he was lucky; the Gladiator he encountered happened to be the one Li Ye had made depressed.
If he had met the Gladiator in his confident state, with the Gladiator's idealistic power growing stronger with his confidence, Ego would have been reduced to ashes.
Captain Marvel, expressionless, unleashed another punch. Terrifying energy, a maelstrom of Riptide, churned within her, erupting with immense power. Wherever it passed, all energy was devoured, and boundless might surged towards Ego with an unstoppable force.
"Bang--"
"Rumble-- Rumble-- Rumble--"
This strike hit the Planet's surface, instantly causing an Earth-shattering explosion. The dazzling light even made the people on the distant fleet cover their eyes.
The Planet's surface slowly caved in. Under Captain Marvel's terrifying energy onslaught, sand, dirt, rocks, minerals... all matter turned to nothing, forming an enormous crater that made the entire Planetlook like a giant eyeball.
The tremor spread to the Planet's interior.
"What happened? Was that an earthquake?"
Star-Lord shouted.
"Are you stupid? This is your old father's body; how could there be an earthquake? It must be like last time, someone is fighting him!"
"I am Groot!"
Treant Groot next to him voiced his agreement.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense! That guy is not my father!!"
Star-Lord retorted indignantly.
"Why do I have to be on a team with you idiots!"
Gamora complained.
"Whew, I want to eat bugs..."
Drax shook his head, muttering.
"..."
"Roar!!!"
Ego's roar, filled with endless fury, came from the Planet.
This was the first time he had been injured, injured by those damned ants.
Ego immediately activated his divine power.
"Buzz-- Buzz-- Buzz--"
Amidst a buzzing sound, the Planet's large crater slowly returned to its original state.
This 'tiny bit' of damage was nothing to Ego, who possessed God energy, and he also had the Power Stone as a backup.
"Go to hell!"
Countless slender purple energy whips condensed from the Planet's surface, making the entire Planetlook like an indescribable Cthulhu Loki.
Then, countless energy whips attacked Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel utilized her agility, using her speed to dodge most of the energy whip attacks. When she couldn't dodge, she fired energy waves to deflect the energy whips.
"Snap!"
Despite Captain Marvel's efforts to dodge, the sheer number of energy whips was too great. With one lapse in concentration, she was directly whipped away by one of them, turning into a streak of light flying into the distance.
"Rumble rumble-- Rumble rumble--"
Amidst a huge commotion, the Planet's surface slowly cracked open, forming a giant fissure, as if the Planet had grown a monstrous mouth.
"G-grew a mouth?!"
"Indeed... a monster!"
"Oh God, whoever it is, please end this nightmare quickly!"
The people on the distant fleet were horrified by this scene.
"Whoosh!"
Purple energy began to condense in the Planet's 'mouth.' That was the energy glow of the Power Stone.
"Die!!!"
Ego roared, instantly releasing a monstrous beam of light, attacking in the direction Captain Marvel had flown.
"Heh heh, energy attack? That won't work on Carol!"
Li Ye saw this scene and, remembering his battle with Captain Marvel, sneered.
"Whoosh----"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
The monstrous energy beam, like a skewer, destroyed everything in its path, even passing directly through the center of a Planet, leaving a huge hole, and finally disappearing into the vast Universe.
Seeing this terrifying destructive power, everyone on the distant fleet was stunned.
"Heh heh, this is the consequence of opposing me, turning into cosmic dust!!"
Ego laughed smugly.
Just as he was getting carried away, a dazzling golden light suddenly flew in from the distance. The light eventually transformed into Captain Marvel.
"How is this possible? She's actually... unharmed!!!"
Ego exclaimed in shock.
In that attack, he not only used his own power but also the energy of the Power Stone, increasing its might tenfold. This woman actually withstood it.
"Energy attacks are useless against me, and they even replenish my energy!"
Captain Marvel said with disdain.
"It seems this form alone won't be enough to deal with this woman. I must use my true form!"
Ego muttered.
"Rumble rumble-- Rumble rumble--"
Ego's appearance underwent a massive transformation. The Planet's matter reorganized, with energy as its bones and veins, and matter like sand, rock, and minerals as its muscles, transforming into a towering giant.
It was roughly the same size as the Celestials in the movie "Eternal." Its height reached 200 miles, which is over 300,000 meters, the standard height for Celestials.
The giant's body was covered in fully enclosed purple armor, with sensory organs resembling facial features appearing on its face. It also held a giant scepter in its hand, inlaid with a purple gem, which was the Power Stone.
Celestials: One of the earliest life forms to be born in the Universe. Their form is extremely colossal, and their energy composition remains unknown and incomprehensible to human civilization.
They create Universes and create Planets with life for the purpose of "reproduction"! This is a cosmic cycle. The birth of each Celestial is essentially a "Big Bang" (referred to as "The Emergence" in the "Eternal" movie), which causes the birth of a new Universe.
After a Celestial is born, it places its "seed" into a life-bearing Planet in its Universe. That Planet is essentially the "nurturing ground" for the next generation of Celestials, and the intelligent life forms on the Planet are merely "nutrients" for the next generation of Celestials. As long as the Planet has sufficient population and nutrients, a new generation of Celestials will "hatch," which is "The Emergence"; but once "The Emergence" occurs, the Planet will be completely destroyed, but at the same time, it will also lead to the formation of a new Universe... The Celestials also like to interfere with the development of planetary species. Earth has been interfered with by the Celestials multiple times. The Mutants on Earth, the hidden Eternal... are all creations of the Celestials.
There are over a thousand members in the Celestials, and each Celestial is extremely powerful. Odin, the King of Gods of Asgard, could only defeat weaker Celestials in single combat.
Furthermore, if someone harmed a lone Celestial, they would be ganged up on by the Celestial army. A young Odin was ganged up on in this manner.
When the Celestials descended upon Earth to interfere with biological development, the indigenous Gods of Earth stood up. The Gods, led by the Norse God King Odin, waged war against the Celestials.
Initially, Odin was incredibly powerful. Donning the Destroyer armor forged by the King of Dwarves and wielding the Eternal Spear, he utterly defeated the invading Celestials, driving them out of Earth.
But that Celestial was dishonorable, immediately calling for backup, bringing four other Celestials of the same level. Five Celestials ganged up on Odin, eventually beating him into submission, leaving him with no choice but to allow the Celestials to interfere with Earth.
"See? This is my true form, the true form of a Celestial!"
Ego laughed wildly.
Battleship command center.
"This... this is... a God!!!"
The three Empire representatives watched Ego's new form in shock.
As Three Great Empires with millions of years of imperial history, they naturally knew about the terrifying beings called Celestials.
Not to mention The Collector having a giant Celestial head, they had even observed up close the birth of a Celestial from a Planet.
"So... it wasn't a monster at all, but a... God!"
The Shi'ar Empire representative said in shock.
"We are actually fighting a God!"
The Skrull Empire representative's face was filled with disbelief.
"Is there... still hope?"
Zana, the Kree Empire representative, muttered to himself, his face full of despair.
Celestials are the most powerful and top-tier beings in the Universe. How could they possibly be opponents!
Even if they could defeat one, they couldn't defeat a group!
"I don't care what kind of God you are!"
Captain Marvel, unaware of these things, clenched her fists and began to condense the photon energy within her, her hands emitting dazzling multicolored light.
"Let's see if you can withstand my attack!"
She instantly unleashed a colorful energy ray at Ego.
"Bang----"
"Rumble----"
Chapter 192 Shameless
Ego's massive size made evasion impossible, and he was hit directly by the energy ray.
"Boom—"
An earth-shattering explosion erupted instantly, like hundreds of ten-million-ton nuclear bombs detonating simultaneously, and the dazzling light illuminated this dark Universe space.
A terrifying energy storm raged through the surrounding space, tearing cracks into it.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
Even the distant fleet of warships was affected.
As the light gradually dissipated, everyone looked to see the giant still standing upright, his body completely unharmed.
"It seems I truly can't defeat him with my strength alone!"
Captain Marvel thought to herself.
Although the plan was for her to lure Ego to the xxx location, where all forces would gather to completely destroy Ego.
But deep down, she still wanted to try if she could do it on her own.
However, she had used all her strength in that last strike, yet still couldn't shake Ego, so she decisively abandoned the idea.
"Now, it's my turn!"
Ego sneered, brandishing the huge scepter, or rather hammer, in his hand, and swung it towards Captain Marvel.
After realizing that energy attacks were ineffective against Captain Marvel, he decisively switched to physical attacks.
With his current size, even without energy fluctuations, his physical strength alone could destroy any Planet.
Looking at the massive hammer approaching, Captain Marvel's entire body emitted a golden glow.
Just as Ego thought the woman was about to clash with him using a powerful move, Captain Marveldirectly transformed into a streak of light and vanished from her spot.
"???"
"Fuck!"
Captain Marvel's move utterly stunned Ego, and he cursed angrily, using a national expletive.
He then controlled his massive body and pursued Captain Marvel in the direction she had left.
He absolutely had to kill this woman who had embarrassed him!
As for those useless people on the warships, it wouldn't be too late to deal with them after he finished with this woman.
"Carol has acted according to the plan!"
Said the Shi'ar Empire representative.
"We must also be prepared!"
The Skrull Empire representative echoed.
"Wait…"
Zana, the Kree Empire representative, suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention, and they all looked at him.
"Are we really… going to be enemies with a God? Perhaps… perhaps, we can negotiate with him…"
After learning Ego's true identity, he no longer wanted to be an enemy of this God, even changing his original derogatory term 'it' to 'him'.
Even if their plan succeeded and they defeated this God named Ego, more Celestials would immediately emerge.
The Celestials were an extremely protective bunch; becoming their enemy was simply seeking death.
What were a few life-bearing Planets anyway?
Their Kree Empire could afford to give them up.
As for the lives on those Planets?
What did that have to do with him, a high-ranking Empire representative?
"Negotiate? What do you mean?"
The other two Empire representatives asked, confused.
"…Haha, the conflict between us and that God is just about those few Planets! We can make a deal with him; we can offer a few more life-bearing Planets…"
"You mean… to concede territory for peace?"
The Shi'ar Empire representative frowned.
"Ah, you can't say that. This is all for peace. The worst peace is better than war. Isn't exchanging land for peace a good deal?"
Zana chuckled.
This statement, coming from people like them, seemed particularly comical.
The Three Great Empires possessed such vast territories, all of which were acquired through war and conquest, yet they had the nerve to talk about peace.
"You mean to abandon the upcoming plan, right? What about Carol? She took on that dangerous plan for our sakes!"
The Skrull Empire representative frowned.
"Hehe, everyone, she was the one who volunteered to go…"
"Whoosh!"
Before Zana could finish his sentence, a figure flashed by quickly, then directly grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. It was Li Ye.
"You truly are disgusting!"
Li Ye sneered.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—"
"Release My Lord Zana immediately!"
The surrounding Kree Empire soldiers all drew their weapons and aimed them at Li Ye
Chapter 193 Threat
"Let go of My Lord Zana!"
All the surrounding soldiers drew their weapons and aimed them at Li Ye.
As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Although these soldiers had heard of the Superman who defeated Gladiator, the strongest warrior of the Shi'ar Empire, they had never witnessed it with their own eyes.
If they had witnessed Li Ye's terrifying power, they might not even have had the courage to draw their weapons.
This sudden turn of events left the people around them at a loss.
"What are you doing? Put down your weapons quickly!"
The representative of the Skrull Empire, realizing what was happening, quickly spoke to stop them.
Although the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire were old enemies, and he wished all Kree would perish, he still understood the gravity of the situation. At this critical time for the alliance, the Kree Empire representative absolutely could not be harmed.
"...Superman, there's no need for this. Please stop immediately. Everything can be discussed!"
The Shi'ar Empire's representative then turned to dissuade Li Ye.
"I need to talk to My Lord Zana. Please don't disturb us!"
Li Ye showed a 'kind' smile, then asked the Kree in his hand:
"Can you repeat what you just said?"
The surrounding Kree Empire soldiers, seeing that this Earthling had not let go of My Lord, also ignored the Skrull Empire representative and instead disengaged the safety on their weapons, preparing to shoot this Earthling at the opportune moment.
If not for their concern for My Lord Zana, they would have fired already!
"Su…Superman, how dare you... Let go of me quickly..."
Zana struggled and said.
Li Ye's actions were beyond his expectation. In his eyes, Earth was merely a primitive Planet, and those living on it were nothing more than a group of 'uncivilized' monkeys.
Compared to the Kree Empire, one of the strongest forces in the Universe, it was simply no match.
He hadn't expected that despite such a huge disparity, Superman, this madman, would still dare to attack him.
Was he not afraid that the Kree Empire would destroy his Planet?
Although Superman defeated Gladiator, the strongest warrior of the Shi'ar Empire, in this Universewhere battleships and large-scale interstellar weapons are mainstream, individual bravery is simply not valued by those imperial high-ranking officials.
They simply don't understand what terrifying heights individual bravery can reach. In their view, if a battleship is big enough and weapons are advanced enough, they can overwhelm everything.
Therefore, apart from a few oddballs like Gladiator, the individual strength of aliens is so weak that even Gamora's combat power can easily defeat them, earning her the highly exaggerated title of 'Universe's Number One Assassin'.
"What if I don't?"
"...You are making an enemy of the Kree Empire... The Kree Empire will not let you go!"
"Oh? And then what?"
Li Ye said with interest.
"The Kree Empire will send a large army to kill you and destroy your Planet. Your friends, family, and everything you care about will disappear..."
Zana thought his threat was working and continued to threaten him.
"Do you think your threats work on me?"
"You mean..."
"Shut up!"
"..."
"You truly are shameless. After learning about Ego's God identity, you don't want to be his enemy, so you want to sell Carol to appease Ego's anger and facilitate your negotiations with him, right..."
Li Ye sneered, revealing Zana's scheme.
"...Cough, cough, cough, she asked to go herself... I'm doing all this for the Empire..."
Zana struggled to argue.
"Heh heh, truly... disgusting! Although I dislike that woman's meddling, saintly ways, she is an Earthlingafter all. I can't just stand by and watch her be betrayed by you!"
"Superman... Superman, we have no such intention. This is entirely Zana's personal idea and does not represent the entire alliance..."
The representative of the Shi'ar Empire quickly explained.
"Yes, yes, the alliance has no such intention! So, can you please put down My Lord Zana first? We can discuss this properly!"
The representative of the Skrull Empire chimed in.
"That won't do. He's my hostage. From now on, you all will do everything I say. The plan proceeds as normal!"
Li Ye sneered.
He didn't trust these aliens at all.
If he hadn't intervened, these aliens would absolutely have sold Captain Marvel, that foolish woman, for profit.
A politician's words, before they are implemented, are like farts; just listen to them. If you actually believe them, then you're truly foolish!
Whether they are politicians on Earth or these alien politicians.
"..."
The scene instantly became tense.
"Earthling, I will repeat myself, immediately release My Lord Zana, or we will open fire!"
Just then, the Kree Empire squad Captain next to them, seeing that diplomatic methods were ineffective, prepared to use force and shouted again.
The Kree, ruled by the Supreme Intelligence, only truly respected the great God. To complete the God's mission, they could sacrifice everything, including Zana, the Empire's representative.
"Scram!"
Li Ye retorted with a single word, then calmly extended his other hand.
"Almighty Push!"
"Buzz—"
A terrifying repulsive force instantly erupted with Li Ye at its center.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah—"
The repulsive force acted upon the Kree Empire soldiers. Their muscles, internal organs, and even bones were instantly crushed. They all flew backward, falling to the ground, bleeding blue blood completely different from Earthlings, their fates unknown.
Li Ye's control over his abilities was at its peak. Within the same range, he did not harm anyone else besides the Kree Empire soldiers.
Li Ye's actions once again caused exclamations from the crowd.
"Superman, that's enough!"
The representatives of the other two Empires spoke up again.
"Whether it's enough or not is up to you to decide!"
Li Ye chuckled, and a terrifying pressure immediately erupted from him.
Threat, this was an open threat!
As soon as these aliens refused, Li Ye would instantly strike, killing everyone on the command ship, and then purging the entire alliance fleet.
There was no doubt that the power of the technological weapons displayed by these aliens could at most destroy a Planet, which is Father-level. Even if they had some hidden secret weapons, such as annihilation waves or negative bombs... they could at most destroy a star, far from reaching single Universe-level. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to fear the Celestials.
An ordinary single Universe-level being (the God defeated by Odin) can easily destroy a star, while a powerful single Universe-level being can even affect the entire Universe.
Li Ye was currently somewhere between the two, far surpassing an ordinary single Universe-level being, but not quite matching a powerful single Universe-level being.
Of course, the full version of Silver Superman is a Multiverse-level being, which is the level of the five great Creator Gods.
They are born with the birth of the Multiverse and perish with the destruction of the Multiverse. They are the unique existence of the Multiverse; countless parallel Worlds only have one true self.
What we usually see within the Multiverse are just their clones, such as Galactus who fought Mephistoback then.
The drawback of being extremely powerful is the inability to enter Worlds that are too weak.
As for Li Ye above that, he wasn't quite sure.
Because the Marvel Universe originally had no clear hierarchy, it was hard to imagine what level the so-called Living Tribunal, Beyonder, and finally OAA were, and what kind of great power they possessed.
Compared to the great being who brought him into this World, who was more powerful among these mighty existences?
Chapter 194 Fierce Fight
"Alright… We agree!"
The Shi'ar Empire representative and the Skrull Empire representative exchanged a look, then said helplessly.
They had no choice but to face Superman's threat.
If Superman had been outside the battleship and threatened them like this, they would have immediately ordered an attack.
But now Superman was within arm's reach, and based on his performance in defeating Gladiator, he could take their lives in an instant.
"Very good!"
Li Ye nodded in satisfaction.
This way, he wouldn't have to flip the table, and the game could continue.
He had thoroughly enjoyed the real-life Star Wars just now.
"Um… Superman, could you please put down Zana? He… seems to be dying!"
The Skrull Empire representative pointed at Zana, who had been silent for a long time.
At this moment, Zana's originally blue face had turned ashen, almost choked to death by Li Ye.
To clarify, most life forms in this Universe still require oxygen, at least most intelligent life forms do.
Perhaps because the Marvel Universe was originally created by humans from the real World, alien life forms are all very similar; although their appearance, growth environment, and living habits differ, the earliest life forms were all born from Water or the ocean, and then slowly evolved into intelligent life forms.
That's why those who can traverse the cosmic starry sky with their physical bodies seem so formidable.
Li Ye threw him to the ground like trash and casually used a gravity shield to restrict his movement.
"Superman, this is…"
"Until you complete that plan, he will remain my hostage, and in fact, everyone on this battleship is my hostage!"
Li Ye said forcefully.
"You shouldn't bully…"
The Shi'ar Empire representative was about to get angry.
"Forget it, we'll listen to you!"
The Skrull Empire representative next to him stopped him and replied.
And so, under Li Ye's coercion, the battleship slowly started and flew towards its destination.
— — — — — —
"Don't run!"
(Don't ask how they talk in the Universe; at this level, a bit of telepathy isn't hard! Even when the God of Destruction and Super Saiyan God were fighting in space, they were still chatting and laughing!)
Ego swung his massive warhammer and smashed it towards Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel transformed into a golden light and dodged.
"Bang —"
"Boom —"
The unmanned Planet behind her instantly exploded.
Without any energy fluctuations, he effortlessly blew up a Planet with just his physical strength.
The residual energy from the explosion instantly spread out, pushing Captain Marvel tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Fortunately, she could absorb energy, and the energy on her body increased again.
If she were to seriously try to escape, Ego really couldn't do anything to her, as she could fly at superluminal speeds.
To lure Ego into the trap, she controlled her speed, neither too fast nor too slow, allowing Ego to keep up but not get hit.
Captain Marvel abruptly stopped, clenched her fists, gathered the photon energy on her body, and emitted a dazzling golden light.
"Whoosh!!!"
She raised her hand and unleashed a terrifying energy ray.
"Do you think your moves still work on me?"
Ego gripped his warhammer, which was inlaid with the Power Stone, and the Power Stone emitted a dazzling purple light.
"Whoosh!!!"
He also fired a terrifying purple energy ray.
"Bang!!!"
"Boom — Boom — Boom —"
The golden ray and the purple ray collided violently.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle —"
For a moment, they were evenly matched, locked in a stalemate.
"Crack — Crack — Crack —"
The clash of two terrifying energies distorted the surrounding Universe rules, causing space to collapse, shatter, and turn into a chaotic state, forming a formidable energy shockwave.
"You are indeed very strong, even not much weaker than me in my normal state, but unfortunately, compared to me now with the Power Stone… you are far inferior!"
Ego suddenly increased the energy output.
"Buzz ——"
The purple ray instantly doubled in thickness, pushing the golden ray back.
Captain Marvel, with only a portion of the Space Stone's Power, was naturally no match for Ego, who was at full strength and possessed the Power Stone; even with all her might, she was steadily pushed back.
Captain Marvel once again utilized her speed advantage, instantly stopped her energy output, transformed into a golden light, and left her original position, dodging Ego's attack.
"Whoosh —"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…"
The purple ray swept across, causing a series of explosions, and countless Planets in its path were unfortunately hit again.
Captain Marvel continued to fight and flee, quickly luring Ego to the destination, then stopped.
"You're out of stamina! Surrender, your strength is formidable, you are worthy of becoming my subordinate!"
Seeing Captain Marvel stop, Ego sent another telepathic message.
He coveted Captain Marvel's immense power; there weren't many in this Universe who could hold him off for so long.
To recruit Captain Marvel, he was even willing to overlook the previous incident where she had embarrassed him.
"Impossible!"
Captain Marvel replied indifferently, then once again activated the photon energy on her body and engaged Ego in battle.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang…"
Waves of fluctuations continuously emanated.
"Why aren't they here yet!"
After fighting for a while longer, Captain Marvel, finding it increasingly difficult to sustain, frowned to herself.
"Give up!"
Ego continuously launched attacks.
"Never!"
Captain Marvel replied defiantly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
Just then, space twisted, and countless battleships instantly appeared, surrounding the two in the middle.
"Now's the time, attack!!!"
The two Empire representatives, seizing the moment Ego was entangled, immediately gave the order.
The Empire's strategic weapon, the Planet Destroyer Cannon, which had already been charged, was waiting for this very moment.
They wanted him to have no shield, they wanted him to be unable to dodge, they wanted him to have no time to defend.
The huge muzzles of several main ships emitted dazzling light.
"Whoosh ——"
Several massive energy rays shot fiercely towards the direction where the two were fighting.
Seeing this, Captain Marvel activated all the remaining energy in her body, erupting in an endless golden light, which instantly enveloped Ego.
"Supernova Explosion ——————"
Chapter 195 It doesn't matter, I will take action
"Supernova Explosion!!!"
"Boom—"
"Crack—Crack—"
The center of the energy burst emitted an infinitely dazzling light, like the Sun, causing everyone on the battleship to instinctively shield their eyes.
The terrifying energy storm instantly swept through the entire space. The space, unable to withstand the immense energy, gradually collapsed and shattered, revealing countless spatial rifts.
The energy storm rapidly surged towards the fleet of battleships.
"Activate shields immediately!!!"
The surrounding space was extremely unstable, and it was too late to initiate a spatial jump. The two Imperial representatives immediately gave the order.
"Yes!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Countless eggshell-like energy shields appeared out of thin air, blocking the battleships and fending off the incoming energy storm.
"Crack—Crack—"
The energy shields developed cracks in less than five seconds.
"My Lord, it's no good! The energy is too strong, the shields can't hold much longer!"
The soldier operating the battleship shouted.
"What? Why is this happening!!!"
The Shi'ar Empire representative exclaimed in shock.
"Oh no, we didn't consider this point. That guy is... a God..."
The Skrull Empire representative said with a grim expression.
Their original plan had not accounted for facing a Celestial, so their initial calculations for the energy burst were incorrect.
"It's over, we're doomed!"
"We killed this God, but sacrificed the entire fleet!"
"Oh God, can anyone save us!"
The surrounding alliance soldiers cried out in despair.
"See? If we had followed my idea, this would never have happened. This is all your fault!"
Zana, the Kree Empire representative who had woken up, cursed at Li Ye.
"Slap!!!"
Li Ye would not tolerate this idiot and directly slapped him.
Despite holding back, Zana still flew backward, crashing heavily into the battleship's bulkhead, remaining silent for a long time, his fate unknown.
"You're really asking for it, forcing my hand!"
Li Ye scoffed.
This matter was originally the aliens' own business, and they were the ones who proposed dealing with Ego. He and that foolish woman, Captain Marvel, were only here to help, though his main goal was the Power Stone.
And this idiotic Kree was not only ungrateful but also wanted to sell them out.
Even an uncle could endure, but an aunt could not.
Li Ye's second action did not cause any further commotion.
Firstly, Superman's overwhelming combat power, displayed just now, had deeply shocked them, making them dare not act rashly.
Secondly, they also found Zana's words extremely irritating.
"Superman, My Lord, the shields are about to give out. I wonder... I wonder if you have any solution?"
The Skrull Empire representative asked tactfully, even using honorifics.
Indeed, displaying power was the quickest way to gain others' respect (and fear).
"It's fine, I'll handle it!"
Li Ye replied calmly.
With that, his figure instantly vanished, reappearing outside the battleship.
The powerful energy storm that had cracked the battleship's shields, capable of withstanding small meteorite impacts, had no effect on Li Ye.
Li Ye slowly opened his hands, releasing the restrictions on his biological field.
The biological field instantly enveloped all the battleships, shielding them from most of the energy.
"The energy... it's gone, no, it seems to be blocked by something!"
"Look outside, it's that Earthling called Superman, he saved us!"
"I knew it, he would definitely act!"
"Superman! Superman! Superman!"
Soldiers in the other battleships watched Li Ye save them through their detectors, cheering excitedly, shouting Superman's name like his fans on Earth.
At this moment, Li Ye became a hero in everyone's eyes.
Of course, excluding a certain Kree who had been slapped away.
The terrifying explosion lasted for several minutes before the light gradually faded.
"Did we win?"
"Probably... we won, right!"
"With such powerful energy, I don't think any creature could survive, even if that creature is... a God!"
The detectors showed no energy fluctuations for a long time, causing everyone to wonder.
"Whoosh—"
At this moment, a golden light rapidly flew towards the fleet of battleships, finally transforming into Captain Marvel.
"Run, that monster isn't dead yet!!!"
Captain Marvel shouted a warning.
But it was already too late, a purple ray suddenly shot over.
"Whoosh—"
If it hit, the fleet would likely be completely annihilated.
Captain Marvel gritted her teeth, gathering photon energy in her hands, preparing to clash with it. Although she knew she couldn't block it, she couldn't just stand by and watch them die. She couldn't do that.
Just as she was about to act, a figure took the lead, blocking in front of the battleships. It was Li Ye.
"It's about time for my entrance!"
Li Ye smiled.
Then he clasped his hands together, beginning to gather energy, a dazzling golden light emanating from his palms.
It was that long-unused ultimate move, inherited from the legendary man, the strongest man on Earth—King's ultimate move.
"Hellfire Unrivaled Blazing Wave Cannon!!!"
Li Ye roared, pushing his hands forward, and a terrifying golden beam of light surged towards the purple ray.
"Bang!!!"
The two world-destroying energies violently collided.
"Boom—"
Their collision generated a massive explosion. The energy instantly broke through the already fragile spatial barrier, and twisted spatial wormholes slowly appeared, frantically devouring everything around them, forming a terrifying spatial turbulence.
"You all leave here immediately, the coming battle is not something you can interfere with!"
Li Ye said while outputting energy.
"Understood, Superman, My Lord!"
The two Imperial representatives wasted no words, immediately ordering the entire fleet to perform a spatial jump.
Captain Marvel thought for a moment, realizing she couldn't be of much help, and followed them away.
"So... you are the strongest among them. But to be my enemy is your greatest folly."
Ego's colossal figure slowly appeared, gripping his massive warhammer, continuously outputting energy.
"A Celestial, huh? I've wanted to kill one and see what it's like for a long time!"
Li Ye sneered.
"Kill me? Are you sure you're not joking?"
Ego was slightly surprised.
Having lived for millions of years, no one had ever dared to say such words to him.
His own power was already at its peak; even if someone's power was stronger than his, they wouldn't dare to kill him.
The Celestials were an extremely protective race. If a Celestial were killed, the Celestials would never let it go. They would send out even more powerful Celestials to kill that person and destroy their race and Planet.
In the Universe, no one was crazy enough to challenge a God, and certainly no one was crazy enough to provoke a group of Gods. Otherwise, Odin, the God-King of Asgard, would be the best example.
The Celestials who ganged up on Odin back then were merely the most common ones. There were even more powerful Celestials above them, with combat power countless times that of ordinary Celestials, capable of destroying countless galaxies with a wave of their hand, and even influencing the entire Universe.
"Joking? No, soon your head will be twisted off by me as a collectible!"
Li Ye sneered.
He was determined to have the Power Stone, but Ego clearly wouldn't hand it over willingly, so it would have to be a fight to the death.
Chapter 196 Jewels
"Sizzle, sizzle—"
Two powerful energy rays were locked in a stalemate there for a moment.
"Earthling, you are too arrogant!!!"
Ego suddenly increased his energy output.
The purple light instantly thickened several times, growing from hundreds of meters to a thousand meters, pushing the golden light back and threatening to completely engulf Li Ye.
"Is that all? I thought you, with the Power Stone, would be much stronger!"
Li Ye pouted, speaking disdainfully.
Then, he also increased his energy output.
The change in the golden light was even more astonishing, instantly growing from its original hundred meters to several thousand meters thick, immediately reclaiming the advantage and pushing the purple light back.
"This... how is this possible? How can you possess such immense energy? Even I, with the Power Stone, can't... No!!!"
"Bang—"
"Rumble—Rumble—"
Another Sun appeared, even more dazzling than the previous one, causing even greater destruction. Dozens of Planets were affected, and the entire space completely shattered, turning into a void.
"He shouldn't die that easily, right?!"
Li Ye thought.
He had released at least twenty percent of his energy in that last attack. An ordinary God like Egocouldn't possibly withstand it; he should have turned into cosmic dust.
Of course, that's assuming he didn't possess the Power Stone.
In "Guardians of the Galaxy," it is mentioned that the Infinity Stones were forged from the essence of six singularities, which contained infinite energy before the Big Bang.
The Infinity Stones are the earliest existing objects in the Universe and the most powerful treasures. Gathering all six Infinity Stones allows the user to make a huge impact on or change the entire Universeaccording to his own will.
The vessels for the six Infinity Stones are: the Tesseract, the Cosmic Orb, the Aether Particle, Loki's Scepter, the Eye of Agamotto, and Vormir.
They control six basic attributes: Space, Power, Reality, Mind, Time, and Soul. Their colors are blue, purple, red, yellow, green, and orange, respectively.
Each Stone has different abilities. The Power Stone allows the user to control and manipulate all power and energy he attempts to control.
At the same time, it also contains an inexhaustible amount of energy, possessing the power to support and strengthen other Stones.
Using this Stone, the user can even copy all physical superpowers and make his physical attack and defense capabilities unbeatable.
Simply put, controlling the Power Stone is equivalent to controlling energy.
Soon, that massive body reappeared.
"Damn Earthling!!!"
Ego roared madly, his voice filled with fury.
He almost, almost died just now, completely turning into cosmic dust.
Thanks to his last-minute emergency use of the Power Stone to reverse the energy.
Ego had never been so angry.
This was the first time he had come so close to death since his birth. He even vaguely saw the legendary Goddess of Death... "I'll kill you, I must kill you!!!"
Ego swung his giant warhammer at Li Ye.
If he couldn't win with energy, then he would fight in close combat.
He didn't believe that this Earthling's physical strength would be stronger than his own God body.
Energy is not equal to physical strength.
Just like a Super Saiyan, he possesses almost infinite energy, or 'ki,' which can easily destroy Planets, but his physical body is very fragile.
He can even be scratched on the face by glass shards, or injured by an alien's high-tech laser gun... The strongest Super Saiyan, Son Goku, is afraid of injections, and even more absurdly, Earth's needles can penetrate his skin.
The truly physically strong are the Kryptonians. As long as it's not a Kryptonite weapon, even if they lie on the ground and let people attack them, unless it's a heaven-defying artifact, it's impossible to cause any harm to a Kryptonian.
Even their most vulnerable eyes are incredibly hard, easily defending against bullets.
They can even perform those legendary feats, like a drill in the chrysanthemum, a Golden Cudgel smashing boulders... Truly 360 degrees without any blind spots!
Li Ye instantly created a gravitational field. Anything that entered this gravitational field, even celestial bodies like black holes, would be directly torn apart and devoured.
Ego's giant warhammer entered Li Ye's gravitational field and was instantly firmly pulled. If it weren't for the Power Stone embedded in it, protected by the Power Stone's energy, it would have been torn into quarks long ago.
Li Ye expanded the gravitational field, instantly encompassing Ego as well.
"Ah ah ah—"
The terrifying force field around him continuously squeezed his massive 300,000-meter body, causing him to let out agonizing screams.
Ego used all his strength to try and pull out the hammer, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape Li Ye's gravitational field, which surpassed that of a black hole.
Seeing that he was about to be completely crushed, he voluntarily withdrew the Power Stone's energy from the warhammer, crushed the warhammer, and firmly held the Power Stone in his hand. He endured the backlash of the Power Stone with his physical strength, suppressing the pain, and swung his right hand, holding the Stone, at Li Ye.
The backlash of the Power Stone is not fixed; the more power you use, the greater the backlash. So, even this God body, far surpassing Thanos, felt pain.
"Bang!!!"
This move by Ego caught Li Ye off guard. Unable to react in time, he was sent flying by Ego's punch, disappearing like a meteor.
Ego did not pursue him. After a brief exchange, he understood one thing: although he didn't want to believe it, that Earthling's power truly surpassed his own.
Ego stared intently at the Power Stone, making a decision that went against his ancestors. He opened his mouth and swallowed the Power Stone whole.
"Ah ah ah!!!"
Purple energy instantly swept through his entire body, relentlessly ravaging every corner of his being.
In a flash of light, Ego's body underwent a noticeable change.
His armored body grew countless hideous and terrifying spikes, and even a pair of huge horns sprouted from his head.
"Power, I feel power, inexhaustible power!!!"
Chapter 197 Battle with Ego
Whoosh—
Ego's unexpected attack sent Li Ye flying with a single punch.
Li Ye transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the boundless Universe at a hundred times the speed of sound.
"Bang bang bang—"
All the meteorites along the way were shattered to dust.
"Damn it, I was careless!"
Li Ye said, annoyed.
Originally, Li Ye's gravitational field had firmly controlled Ego, and he was just a hair's breadth away from completely crushing his incredibly powerful Celestials body, but he didn't expect this old fellow to imitate Thanos and directly use the Power Stone to strike him.
"Buzz—"
Li Ye deployed his biokinetic field, controlled his body, and abruptly stopped from his high-speed state, then his figure immediately vanished.
He reappeared in that void space, seeing Ego's drastically changed appearance, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "You... how did you become like this?"
Ego laughed heartily upon hearing this, saying, "Earthling, do you feel it? My current power!"
Li Ye looked at the purple energy continuously emanating from Ego's body and instantly understood the whole story: "You've made yourself a container for the Power Stone, swallowing it! What a madman!"
It must be said, Ego truly deserved to be an old monster who had lived for millions of years; he was truly ruthless.
Towards outsiders, he completely disregarded the lives of other races, casually slaughtering trillions of beings, sowing countless Planets, and giving birth to hundreds of offspring, but simply because they did not inherit his Godly power, he killed them all, and their bones are still piled up on Ego. Even Star-Lord, who inherited Godly power, was prepared to be killed if he didn't fulfill his wishes.
He was even more ruthless towards himself, capable of doing something as insane as swallowing the Power Stone whole.
Although a certain large orange cat Flerken had already done it, that was because its body was connected to a parallel Universe, so no matter how many objects it devoured, it would not affect its main body, and the Tesseract would lose its effect in another parallel Universe.
Moreover, the Space Stone had the Tesseract as a container, making its energy relatively stable.
One must know that the Power Stone currently had no Cosmic Orb as a container, meaning Ego himself was acting as the container.
Although his physical strength could withstand the Power Stone's backlash, with the Power Stone now inside him, the energy backlash directly affected his internal body.
Furthermore, the more intensely he fought Li Ye, the more Power Stone energy he used, and the greater the backlash he suffered. This kind of pain was not something an ordinary person could endure; it was even more painful than tearing one's soul apart.
Ego instantly became enraged: "This is all to kill you! No matter what, I will definitely kill you!"
Having walked on the edge of death, he had completely lost his sanity. Ego, having swallowed the Power Stone, was already doomed to die. Even this incredibly powerful Celestials body couldn't save him; the Power Stone's energy backlash would eventually tear his body apart completely.
But it wasn't without benefits; he could now practically control all of the Power Stone's energy.
Using the warhammer as a medium, he could only unleash thirty percent of the Power Stone's energy, but now, as the Power Stone's medium, he could unleash over ninety percent of its energy.
His plan was to kill this damned Earthling in front of him within this period.
Li Ye curled his lips in disdain: "Kill me? With just you? Even if your Celestials came out in full force, you couldn't kill me!"
The two exchanged glances across the distance, then simultaneously threw a punch.
"Bang!!!"
Two powerful attacks violently collided.
It was like the collision of two Suns.
"Rumble rumble—rumble rumble—"
In an instant, world-destroying energy erupted. An endless, terrifying energy storm instantly swept through the surrounding space, emitting light that even surpassed that of a star, piercing through the endless void in an instant, excluding all external forces, and completely pulverizing the remnants of the Planet that had just been destroyed by the energy aftershocks into molecular states.
Next came... bang bang bang bang bang bang... countless terrifying energy attacks clashed, and the surging energy continuously churned the Universe's starry sky, with dazzling, colorful light rendering the surrounding starry sky like a legendary paradise.
The two continued to battle fiercely, fighting from reality to the Land of Nihility, and then from the Land of Nihility back to reality. The intensity of this battle was no less than Li Ye's fight with the demon lord Mephisto in Hell.
The energy unleashed by the two could instantly destroy a galaxy the size of the Solar System.
After the powerful energy destroyed everything, it drifted into the endless starry sky.

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside a small warship.
"How... how terrifying a battle! Good thing we escaped!"
Looking at the terrifying energy erupting in the distance, Star-Lord patted his chest in relief.
"Quill, you're so fat, how can you be such a coward!"
Rocket Raccoon, in the pilot's seat, mocked him.
"I am Groot!"
Treant Groot, playing a game in the back seat, agreed.
"I was just expressing my feelings! And, where am I fat? I'm buff!"
Saying this, Star-Lord puffed out his stomach, but his round belly seemed to confirm that Rocket Raccoon was right.
"You should lose weight quickly!"
Gamora looked at Star-Lord with disdain.
"Gamora, even you're saying that about me!"
Star-Lord said in despair.
He had a bit of a crush on Gamora.
After all, she was one of only two females on the ship.
"Don't worry, he definitely can't do it!"
Drax said while eating an ice cream-like food.
"That looks delicious, can I have a bite?"
Mantis asked.
"No!"
Drax refused expressionlessly.
"Hey, big guy, be polite to her, she saved us after all!"
Rocket Raccoon spoke up.
It turned out that Mantis was persuaded by their glib tongues and voluntarily released them, allowing them to escape while Ego was busy dealing with Captain Marvel.
..."Forget it, here!"
Drax thought for a moment and handed over all the 'ice cream'.
"..."
Amidst their casual chatter, the warship slowly moved forward. As for where they were going, they didn't know.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Just then, the surrounding space spun, and countless warships of various sizes appeared out of nowhere, surrounding them. It was the Alliance fleet that had initiated a space jump.
"These... where did these warships come from..."
Rocket Raccoon looked at the warships appearing on the screen and asked, puzzled.
"I don't know... but it looks like we're in trouble!"
Star-Lord swallowed, saying.
The others also looked tense, not knowing if these warships were friend or foe... but the situation was quickly broken.
"You are surrounded. Please lay down your weapons immediately!"
The Alliance warship shouted.
