Chapter 142 Those Who Die Are Not Gods
While Kevin and Ego were fighting like gods, the Guardians of the Galaxy were in a stalemate.
Although Star-Lord Peter swallowed the part of Ego tissue that Kevin gave him, up to now, Star-Lord has only created a ball that can be thrown in his hands.
But a ball...
What use is there for it!
"Quill, you are so stupid! Why don't you know how to use it yet!!"
Rocket shouted to Star-Lord while making a bomb.
To destroy Ego's brain, ordinary weapons are definitely not enough. A bomb with sufficient equivalent, preferably one that can completely explode an entire spacecraft, is needed.
The extremely important task of making bombs was naturally given to Rocket, a genius engineer in the Guardians of the Galaxy.
But the problem now is.
Rocket's 'Rocket Brand Bomb' is about to succeed, but Star-Lord can't even control the most basic power.
Facing the inner layer of protection specially made by Ego, which can be called 'the strongest metal in the universe', no one can break it except Star-Lord, who can obtain the power of gods, and Kevin, who is as powerful as a god.
Kevin was responsible for delaying Ego, so the task of breaking the last defense could only be handed over to Star-Lord.
But obviously, Star-Lord couldn't do it now.
"Hey, kid."
When Star-Lord was at a loss, Yondu's voice rang in his ears.
Yondu, who returned to the outer spacecraft of the planet with Drax and Mantis beside Ego, realized the dilemma Star-Lord was facing through the communicator.
He quickly gave advice:
"What do you think I rely on to control my arrow? Is it my head? Or my whistle? None of them, it's my heart, stupid boy."
"Don't tell me any big truths at this time, okay!"
The more he wanted to control, the more anxious Star-Lord became, and he couldn't listen to Yondu's words.
Rocket slapped him on the head:
"Whatever the truth is, as long as it works, it's a good idea! Anyway, you don't know how to control it now, so you might as well listen to him!"
"I'm Groot. (Don't be anxious, strength is just like instinct)"
Seeing that Star-Lord was too anxious, Groot stretched out a branch in front of Star-Lord, and a flower bloomed in front of Star-Lord at the top of the branch.
"I'm Groot (This is instinct)"
"Groot said..."
Rocket was about to translate, but Star-Lord rolled his eyes:
"I can probably understand, no need to translate... But instinct..."
Groot is right.
Those powers that come from your body are not controlled by wanting to control, but naturally, just like your limbs, you can control them at will.
Sometimes the more anxious you are, the harder it is to control what you want to control.
You have to treat those powers as part of yourself, so that you can control them easily.
Be careful... Be careful...
Thinking so, Star-Lord closed his eyes and devoted all his mind to the new power.
Slowly, his thoughts became calm, and the unstable energy in his hands also became stable in his consciousness.
After a while, Star-Lord opened his eyes, half-crouched and placed his hands on the ground.
The soil split to both sides, and the layers of onion-like metal shells inside were also controlled by Star-Lord to open gaps.
Under the gaze of the Guardians of the Galaxy, a road leading directly to the core of the planet appeared in front of everyone.
They also saw the core of the planet, which was located in the center and looked like a human brain.
Ego's core was exposed in front of them.
………
"!!"
The core was exposed, and Ego, who was in the mirror space, felt it instantly.
His expression changed from anger to horror, and without even a trace of hesitation, he turned around and was about to leave, trying to stop the Guardians of the Galaxy from destroying his core.
But with Kevin here, Ego couldn't leave anyway.
When Kevin noticed Ego's movements, he knew that the Guardians of the Galaxy had completed the task assigned by Kevin.
They did not hold Kevin back, so Kevin naturally could not let down at the critical moment.
Therefore, even at the risk of the Uru Ring breaking and the Reality Gem entering his body, Kevin had to delay Ego here.
Do not let him leave the mirror space.
"Where do you want to go, weak god?"
Kevin was possessed by MT at this moment, and the taunt skill was activated.
While taunting, he waved his hands, and two scarlet magic whips appeared in his hands.
The magic whip was amplified by the Reality Gem, and it became extremely huge in an instant. It flew over and tightly wrapped around Ego's body, tying him up like a big red dumpling.
The Seratok Scarlet Chain, the magic used to connect with the 'Crimson Latitude', is also a part of most mages.
In order to better transfer to the second profession later, Kevin tried his best to use the Reality Gem to assist himself in performing various magic abilities.
The Scarlet Chain is also one of them.
This red rope, which originally had good binding force, was as strong as a rope made of vibranium with the blessing of the reality gem.
Ego couldn't break free at all.
"Stop it! You don't know what you are doing!"
Ego struggled madly, creating all kinds of rock weapons to attack Kevin like crazy.
But all were easily blocked by Kevin.
Kevin couldn't completely defeat Ego, but if it was to deal with Ego's attack, Kevin was more than enough.
Especially when Ego had lost his mind at this time, it was even easier for Kevin to deal with it.
Easily avoiding Ego's attack, Kevin continued to tangle with Ego, and chatted with Ego perfunctorily:
"Of course I know what I'm doing. I've eliminated a scourge for the universe. Oh, I'm such a good person."
"No!! You're killing God! You're killing someone like you!! Do you really think that if you help them, they will be grateful to you? No, they won't! In the end, they will definitely treat you like they treated me, because they simply can't accept such a powerful existence as us!"
"Yeah, you're right."
Kevin completely ignored Ego's words.
Finding that he was going to die and couldn't get rid of Kevin, he started to play the emotional card. Kevin had seen this kind of thing countless times in movies. He would not sympathize with Ego because of his words, and then stupidly let him go, and finally stage a second season of cheating the box office.
"Ahhh!!! Damn it!! You can be like me, above the entire universe, why do you have to help a group of ordinary people who have no power!"
"Because we are friends."
Kevin answered, and then continued in silence:
"Besides, I don't think strength is the only criterion for measuring life. Your idea is too extreme, Ego."
Ego also wanted to contact intelligent life at the beginning of his birth.
But when he found that those intelligent lives were not the same as him and did not have the same power as him, Ego began to conceive a plan to expand the entire universe.
Because Ego believed that these powerless lives were not worthy of being called his kind.
The only one who could be called his kind was the existence of the same powerful power, that is, himself.
Before meeting Kevin, the lives that Ego had come into contact with were weak.
He had not met those gods, nor did he know the existence of the Titans, nor did he know the powerful existence of the Celestials and other multidimensional beings.
Ego would naturally think that his decision was correct.
He regarded the strength of power as the criterion for measuring life.
This was a big mistake in Kevin's view.
Having power does not mean you can despise everything. Kevin has never felt that he is really superior to others since he traveled through time. Those who do not have power should die.
He has always been in this state of mind.
If it were not so, with Kevin's nature of just wanting to lie down, he would have probably cooperated with Homelander Storm to establish a superhuman kingdom in the entire Black Robe World.
Anyway, he can do it with his power.
But Kevin has never thought about it this way.
Because... no matter what you do, no matter what power you have, you should at least... be a human being.
Like Ego, who thinks he is born superior to others and wants to create a universe with only gods, something will happen sooner or later.
Even if Kevin does not take action, someone will definitely take care of him in the future.
The Marvel world is not short of heroes.
The Black Robe World is actually the same.
Kevin looked at Ego with a pitying expression. Ego could not stand such a look. He angrily broke free from the scarlet chains and launched a final crazy attack on Kevin.
While fighting with Kevin, he tried to argue with Kevin:
"You are wrong... You are wrong!! We are gods... Gods!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin heard a violent explosion. The vibration caused by the explosion could be easily felt even in the mirror world.
After the explosion, Ego in front of Kevin completely lost his vitality.
His body turned into dust and disappeared bit by bit in front of Kevin.
Kevin watched Ego turn into ashes and dust in front of him and dissipate in the wind. After a while, as if talking to himself or answering Ego's question, he whispered:
"Those who will die are not gods."
Kacha——
As soon as Kevin finished speaking, the mirror space he created also shattered layer by layer, revealing the original reality.
At the moment when he just returned to reality, Star-Lord's voice sounded in the communication:
"Kevin! God, I can finally contact you! We just blew up the core, and you... he is dead, right?"
"Yes, Ego is dead, I will go back now."
The ground under his feet began to collapse, and this planet created by Ego, after the death of the creator, began to turn into the original dust inch by inch.
Star-Lord and others had escaped to the universe long before this.
Without Ego's entanglement, they returned smoothly to the cabin outside the planet.
Except for Ego, no one died in this incident.
Oh, except for the predators led by Yondu.
The skill points for getting rid of Ego and keeping Yondu alive have been accounted for.
Although the number is not large, only six, but a mosquito leg is still meat.
And when Kevin realized that the source of skill points came from the power of destiny, he also knew the reason why he got a small number of skill points in the Marvel world.
Because this is not the Marvel universe.
This is the Marvel "What If" universe, a "What If" universe full of various possibilities, where unexpected things can happen anytime and anywhere.
In this universe, anything that happens may be what would have happened originally. Kevin's participation in it and changing the plot is just to turn one possibility into another possibility.
It is still within the fate of the "What If" universe.
The skill points obtained will naturally be much less.
So after getting rid of Thanos and others, the skill points gained were so few, even killing a locomotive gave him more skill points than them.
So now after killing Ego and saving Yondu, the skill points gained were only six.
"It's better to have it than not to have it. Besides...if there is more universe in the series, let's go to other universes later."
Looking at the skill points, Kevin retracted his gaze and looked at the collapsed Ego planet again.
"God..."
He stared at Ego planet in a trance.
After a long time, when Star-Lord urged him again, he retracted his gaze and returned to Star-Lord's spaceship.
I wanted to do it yesterday, but I forgot. Today I will post Kevin's current ability value.
According to the Marvel system, level 7 is the maximum level.
Intelligence: 3
Strength: 4 (land) 5 (water)
Speed: 3 (land) 5 (water)
Endurance: 6
Energy emission: 4 (other worlds) 7 (Marvel world)
Combat skills: 3
The data is for fun, and everything is based on the movie world.
