Novel is finished on my Patreon so you can read all the advance chapter till last on my patreon https://www.patreon.com/marvel6395

Ego had thought he had completely hypnotized Star-Lord, but to his surprise, after he had finished explaining his entire plan, Star-Lord suddenly became somewhat lucid. 

Faced with Star-Lord's groggy questioning, Ego continued to exert his godlike influence and said, "Oh, your mother, she truly was my favorite little daisy. But I knew that if I didn't leave Earth, I'd be trapped there forever. However, the most regrettable part is... when I placed a tumor in her head with my own hands..."

If Lin Rui were here, he would surely give Ego a thumbs-up and say, "Uncle, your self-deprecation is on point!"

Indeed, despite Ego increasing his influence on Star-Lord, the confusion in Star-Lord's eyes disappeared completely upon hearing that the tumor in his mother's head had been caused by his biological father.

Swish!

In the next moment, Star-Lord had already drawn two weapons from his waist.

PūPūPū!

Without hesitation, he opened fire continuously while shouting in anger, "That was my mother!! You monster!!"

Under Star-Lord's relentless fire, Ego's humanoid form was pierced through, nearly transforming into pure energy. However, these attacks had no real impact on Ego; they merely drained the energy of this particular projection.

"Quill! Why don't you understand!? We are eternal! Humans are fleeting, and everything you see will cease to exist!" Ego's distorted energy form continued to regenerate, his voice filled with authority.

"You monster!" Star-Lord, not caring to listen to him, kept firing relentlessly.

The familial bond he had suddenly acquired upon confirming that this man was his biological father had shattered in an instant. His only cherished childhood memory, his mother, had died at the hands of this monster before him. At this moment, Star-Lord only wanted to crush him completely.

"It seems you won't be able to enjoy eternal life with me. So, offer me your energy! Let me have a continuous supply of power for the next thousand years, allowing me to devour countless planets!"

Boom!

As soon as Ego finished speaking, a white energy beam shot out from the ground behind Star-Lord, piercing through his chest and suspending him in mid-air.

"Ahhhhhh!—I %... $!" Suspended and hammered by Ego, Star-Lord could only emit painful screams and curses.

In his battle against his father, who had lived for countless years, Star-Lord seemed to have only words left.

At the same time, Gamora and the others had arrived at the entrance of the grand hall, guided by Mantis. Yondu, who had entered the planet earlier, had also made contact with Gamora's group.

"Gamora, Ego is not a good person! Get Star-Lord and leave this planet quickly!" This was Yondu's first message to Gamora after making contact.

"I know, I'm trying!" Gamora replied, and she, along with Drax and the others, rushed into the grand hall.

Bang!

They then saw the pitiful sight of Star-Lord being drained of energy by Ego.

"I told you not to save this idiot!" Nebula said seriously upon seeing the clearly formidable energy tentacles.

"Ahhhhhh!" Ignoring Nebula's words, Drax, upon seeing Star-Lord's condition, pulled out his weapon and charged towards Ego.

"Save him!" Gamora shouted to Nebula as she too rushed forward.

"These fools! Hey, does this guy have any weaknesses?" Nebula turned to Mantis, who looked puzzled.

"Huh? Weakness? This is just Ego's energy projection; destroying it won't harm him. His energy core is deep within the planet's core!" Mantis replied quickly after a moment of confusion.

"Still somewhat useful!" Nebula, now armed with this information, also joined the fray.

Even if they knew that this Ego was an energy projection, they had to destroy it first; otherwise, they couldn't save Star-Lord. The energy tentacles attached to Star-Lord looked formidable, and further delay might cost him his life.

As Gamora, Drax, Nebula, and the others rushed into the grand hall to rescue Star-Lord, Yondu's spaceship fleet had already descended upon Ego's palace.

"Star-Lord, don't worry, I'll definitely save you!" Yondu clenched his fists tightly, feeling the intense energy fluctuations coming from below.

...

Outside the atmosphere of Ego's planet, the luxurious palace spaceship from Asgard had finally arrived.

Through the connection with Yondu, Lin Rui was already aware that Ego had taken action against Star-Lord. Fortunately, they had all arrived in time, and following the normal plot, Star-Lord shouldn't be in immediate danger.

"It's time for us to take action, Phantom Knight. It's been a while, and I wonder if you've made any progress?" Thor, standing at the spaceship's door, didn't mince words when addressing Lin Rui.

"Well..."

Whoosh!

Before Lin Rui could say anything, Thor impatiently leaped out.

"I'll be off then. Fighting outside the Nine Realms, I need to uphold Asgard's reputation!" With these words, Thor swung his hammer, the God of Thunder, and flew towards Ego's palace.

Watching Thor's rapid flight, Lin Rui silently took out the Magic Cube. Now, Lin Rui could control the power of the Magic Cube with great precision.

Humming~

"Let's go as well. No matter why we're here, your safety is the most important thing. Especially you, Peter." After the Spatial Teleportation gate appeared, Lin Rui advised his two companions.

Jack had learned quite a bit of secret magic since his training at the Sorcerer's Sanctum. However, Peter's Spider-Senses might not work perfectly in such a chaotic battle.

"I understand! We won't do anything reckless!"

"Alright, let's go!" With that, Lin Rui took the lead and stepped through the Spatial Teleportation gate in front of him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Soon, the three of them had disappeared within the spaceship. When they emerged from the Spatial Teleportation gate, they found themselves inside Ego's palace.

Exhale!

As soon as Lin Rui and his team emerged from the Spatial Teleportation gate, two energy tentacles came rushing towards them. Lin Rui and his companions exchanged glances, then quickly moved apart to evade the attack.

Exhale~

After gracefully avoiding the energy tentacle attack, Lin Rui had already assessed the situation in the grand hall. 

At this moment, the entire grand hall was in chaos. Ego's projection had already been defeated by the combined efforts of Gamora and the others. However, Yondu and Rocket hadn't crashed into the battle with their small spaceships this time; instead, they had come in with a team to provide support.

Therefore, there were quite a few people in the grand hall at this moment, all struggling to fend off the attacks of Ego's energy tentacles. After the projection had been destroyed, Ego seemed thoroughly enraged. Energy tentacles surged from the ground, continuously lashing out at Star-Lord and his team.

"Phantom Knight! You've finally arrived! Hurry, get us out of here! We're no match for Ego!" Yondu, spotting them as soon as they emerged from the Spatial Teleportation gate, shouted loudly.

Star-Lord had already been rescued, and there was no need for them to engage in a direct confrontation with Ego at this point.

As more and more energy tentacles emerged from the ground, Yondu's psychic-controlled flying blades were on the verge of being overwhelmed, and the others were in a desperate situation. If it weren't for their decent equipment, they wouldn't have lasted ten seconds.

Boom, boom, boom~

However, before Lin Rui could respond, a thunderous roar echoed from outside the grand hall. Then, Star-Lord and the others sensed a powerful pressure rapidly approaching from above.
