Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1058 God Ego
Yondu squatted in the dim cell. The walls around him seemed to be carved out of the deepest black rock, ruthlessly swallowing up every faint ray of light that tried to penetrate.

Inside the cell, the air seemed to freeze, and every breath seemed to be a struggle against the invisible gravity.

Hundreds of prisoners were crammed into the narrow space. They could only squat on the ground, one next to the other. The physical contact between them conveyed unspoken fear and despair.

The air was filled with the smell of sweat, body odor, and some indescribable feeling of oppression, making this place more like a living hell.

Yongdu's eyes flickered with a complex light in the dim light, a mixture of anger, unwillingness and despair.

Ultron not only cunningly captured Star-Lord, but also used their spacecraft to send out a distress signal, pushing the already turbulent interstellar situation to the brink of even greater chaos.

This series of events, like a sudden storm, dragged all of them into an unpredictable abyss.

Most of the star raiders were killed in an instant. Ultron did what even the Galactic Empire had not done, which was to completely eradicate them.

"What kind of enemy did this bastard Quill provoke?"

Yongdu couldn't help but scold this jerk.

The enemy here can send out any one of their monsters who can wipe out their group of interstellar predators.

The Saiyan guards were tall and strong, with muscles as hard as rocks, and their eyes revealed contempt and indifference for the weak.

Although these guards have fixed patrol routes and shift systems, their vigilance and fighting ability are far beyond that of ordinary people, making any attempt to escape extremely difficult.

It is like throwing an egg against a rock for Yondu to try to break through the Saiyan's defenses with the strength of himself and his companions.

The atmosphere in the cell was so oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe. Every heartbeat was accompanied by the violent rise and fall of the chest, as if silently protesting against this unfair fate.

Yondu and the other prisoners could only endure the torment silently, waiting for an unknown ending.

Among them, some prayed in a low voice, some shed tears silently, and more people fell into deep thought, thinking about how to break free from this abyss of despair.

However, just when everyone was about to give up hope and thought they would become Ultron's slaves forever, a turning point came quietly.

Ultron sat on his throne made of high-tech materials and emitting a cold light, analyzing the genetic information of Yondu and his group of interstellar predators through complex algorithms.

"A special race. Perhaps I can find a way to fuse the Saiyan genes with them and take my power to a higher level."

Ultron's voice was cold and mechanical, without any emotional fluctuations.

He squeezed every bit of value out of these interstellar predators, whether it was their physical potential, spacecraft technology, or valuable intelligence information, all of which became tools for him to enhance his own strength.

At this moment, the alarm system of the Ultron Empire suddenly sounded, and the sharp sound cut through the originally dull air.

"Your Majesty, there are intruders!"

The voice of one of Ultron's backup artificial intelligence sounded in Ultron's ears.

Ultron frowned slightly but did not take immediate action. He was confident that the Saiyans under his command were enough to deal with any challenge.

The two Saiyans in tight combat suits quickly accepted the order and rushed towards the invaders like two lightning bolts.

Their speed was extremely fast, almost synchronized with the light, but it was not enough in front of the mysterious invader.

The figure appeared in front of the Saiyan like a ghost, silently. His speed was so fast that even the Saiyan's proud reaction speed could not keep up with him.

The power of this mysterious man is astonishingly strong. Every movement of his is accompanied by the sound of air bursting, as if even the space is trembling under his power.

Each of his punches and kicks contained enough power to destroy a planet. Those powerful Saiyans were like fragile dolls in front of him. They were easily knocked to the ground without any ability to fight back. "Who is he?"

Ultron couldn't believe it. He didn't expect to encounter such a powerful being here.

You know, this place is so remote that it can’t be more remote.

Could it be someone from the Galactic Empire?
The opponent seemed a little surprised that the Saiyan who was hit by his attack did not break into pieces and turn into powder.

He did not hold back at all and was determined to kill the other person.

As a result, he underestimated how powerful the Saiyans were.

But it didn't matter, the Saiyans had lost the ability to resist and the strength to continue fighting, and the invaders were too lazy to pay attention to them.

Yondu stared with wide eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief, until the man turned around and revealed his true face - the god Ego!
Ego, the being who calls himself a god, is standing in front of Yondu with a proud attitude.

He looked like a human, but his deep eyes sparkled with a light that did not belong to this world.

Yongdu had mixed feelings, the joy of being rescued but also fear of this mysterious god.

After all, the appearance of Ego means that a more complicated situation is about to unfold.

"You...you are here to save us?"

Yondu spoke with difficulty, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Igo smiled slightly, that smile contained both contempt and pride: "Yes, I am here to save you, but I am also here to retrieve what belongs to me."

Yondu's heart tightened, he vaguely guessed what Ego was referring to - the divine power in Star-Lord's body.

This power is what Ego has long desired and is the key to his plan to conquer the universe.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Egg."

Yongdu said pretending to be stupid.

"Star-Lord, or rather, Peter Quill."

Igo said with a smile.

"Star-Lord...he..."

Yongdu hesitated to speak, he didn't know how to explain to Ego, after all, Ego even knew his name.

Yongdu was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He didn't understand how Ego knew that name, the name that meant so much to him.

After all, in the original plot, the reason why Ego noticed Star-Lord was entirely because of the Power Stone, but now, this has not happened at all, and Star-Lord looks like just an ordinary earthling.

Igo seemed to see through Yongdu's thoughts. He said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't hurt him, at least until he completes his mission."

As Ego finished his words, an unprecedented force surged out of his body, sweeping across the entire cell like a tide.

Yongdu only felt a blackness before his eyes, and then, when the light came on again, they were already in a whole new world.
