Chapter 305

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Watching the escalating conflict, Fury's eyes gleamed with interest.

Perhaps this so-called Celestial, who claimed to have lived for millions of years, could force the White Knight to reveal more of his power.

Or, if this Celestial managed to eliminate the White Knight, Asgard wouldn't be implicated, and Earth would remain uninvolved.

Fury couldn't help but feel a faint sense of anticipation.

Though he had no personal vendetta against the White Knight, the existence of such an uncontainable rogue on Earth was hardly comforting.

Beside him, the Chitauri commander's expression mirrored his hope. If Ego could defeat the White Knight, it would remove a major obstacle for their master.

Sokovia

Ultron, observing the events unfold, felt an unusual sense of anxiety.

"He better not die."

If the White Knight were killed, Ultron would lose a potential avenue for obtaining Omega-level mutant abilities.

Ego seemed formidable, after all…

For the first time, Ultron felt worried.

Asgard

Thor clutched Mjolnir tightly, a sense of unease creeping into his thoughts. "Brother…"

Sovereign

High Priestess Ayesha finally understood why Star-Lord's lineage was so peculiar.

As for the White Knight, who had destroyed her fleet, she gritted her teeth in frustration.

"He's up against a Celestial. Surely eliminating a mere Earthling shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Ayesha watched with anticipation.

On Scene

Hearing the White Knight's calm inquiry, Ego's face twisted with anger.

Millions of years had passed since anyone dared offend him in such a manner.

"Mortal, you dare to challenge a Celestial!" Ego bellowed, his tone laced with fury.

Syd's expression didn't waver, remaining as tranquil as ever.

He had no reason to fear Ego. The so-called Celestial before him was a fraud, possessing divine power but lacking a true Celestial body. Ego wasn't even a match for a fully awakened Star-Lord.

In fact, with his vulnerable brain acting as a weak point, Ego could be taken down with something as simple as a well-placed bomb.

Facing such a hollow god, Syd naturally had no fear.

Fixing his gaze on Ego, Syd spoke slowly. "And what if I am?"

The statement left countless onlookers stunned.

Was the White Knight truly unafraid?

Was he insane?

"Fine!" Ego could no longer contain his rage and launched an attack.

He channeled the divine energy from his core, summoning tendrils of white light that shot toward Syd at incredible speed.

The air buzzed with tension as the light tendrils closed in on their target.

To Syd's surprise, Ego's strength seemed greater than expected.

During his fight with Star-Lord, Ego had held back, likely to avoid killing his son. But now, he unleashed the same power that could destroy fleets of ships.

Syd quickly pieced it together: Ego's full strength was on display now, but it made no difference to him. What puzzled him was Ego's choice of attack—light.

Syd raised his right hand calmly, and the incoming tendrils froze mid-air, completely immobilized.

The sudden halt left Ego stunned, his expression stiffening.

"What… what just happened?"

The same question burned in the minds of countless spectators, from Star-Lord's crew to people watching worldwide.

"What have you done?" Ego demanded, his tone a mix of confusion and anger.

He tried to regain control of the tendrils, but to his shock, they remained unresponsive as if severed from him entirely.

"I've lost control of them? How?"

Syd responded with an indifferent gesture, raising a single finger.

Under countless astonished gazes, the tendrils of light disintegrated into fine particles, reforming moments later into a massive tendril of light that coiled around Ego like a constricting serpent.

The unexpected reversal left everyone dumbfounded.

Ego, the self-proclaimed Celestial, was the most bewildered of all.

"My power… you're controlling my power? Impossible!"

Unfazed by Ego's disbelief, Syd spoke in a calm, authoritative tone.

"I forgot to mention—I'm also a god."

"Your control over light is laughably weak. So much for being a Celestial."

Ego's face contorted with shock. "A god? You… you're a god from Asgard? Impossible! No Asgardian could be this strong!"

He struggled fiercely, trying to free himself from the tendril's grip, but it was in vain.

Before the eyes of countless stunned onlookers, the massive tendril constricted further, snapping Ego's body into two halves.

Contrary to expectations, there was no blood. Instead, Ego's severed body glowed faintly, revealing his form to be composed of pure energy.

Even as his body began to regenerate, Syd didn't give him the chance.

The sky darkened abruptly, and beams of concentrated sunlight rained down, striking Ego's split form with precision.

Ego's body started to disintegrate under the intense light.

"Damn you!" Ego roared in desperation.

"How can you wield such power?"

With one final cry, Ego's avatar dissolved completely, leaving no trace of his presence.

The sky cleared as if nothing had happened, as though the Celestial who claimed to have lived for millions of years had never existed.

The world fell silent.

That's it?

It's over just like that?

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury stared at the screen in stunned disbelief, his face frozen with a mix of shock and bewilderment.

"A Celestial, who lived for millions of years, was taken out just like that?"

Without even revealing the full extent of the White Knight's strength, Ego had been annihilated.

For a moment, Fury's thoughts turned to Captain Marvel. Compared to her, this so-called Celestial didn't seem impressive at all.

"Is this really what passes for a Celestial?" Fury muttered, his face darkening as he felt thoroughly duped.
