Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1060: The Body of a God, on Par with Mortals

Ego's life spanned countless light years and witnessed the birth and changes of the universe.

His figure is like flowing starlight, sometimes condensing into a solid, sometimes turning into nothingness, shuttling between the stars, searching for the true meaning of life and existence.

During his journey, the Earth, this blue planet, unexpectedly became his emotional harbor.

By chance, Ego landed in a corner of the earth, where lived an ordinary and beautiful girl from Earth - Star-Lord's mother.

Her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly illuminating Igo's weathered heart.

Their meeting seemed like the most incredible arrangement in the universe, two lonely hearts found each other in the vast sea of ​​people.

Although Ego understood his identity and responsibilities as a higher life form, he couldn't help but fall into this relationship. Every tryst with her was like a rain of sweet rain in his dry heart, making him feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.

However, happiness is always short-lived.

Deep in Ego's heart, there was always a voice reminding him that as a life form with higher wisdom and power, he should not indulge in such a gentle life and forget his mission and pursuit.

After countless conflicts and struggles, Ego made a decision that made him feel painful.

He used his power to secretly implant a tumor in Star-Lord's mother's brain, which was both an extreme proof of his pursuit of the true meaning of life and a final farewell to this love.

He hopes that in this way he can completely cut off his connection with the Earth and embark on the journey of finding his people and exploring the mysteries of the universe again.

Star-Lord's memory of his father is vague and distant. He only knows that he is a mysterious person who has never appeared.

When Ego suddenly appeared in his life and revealed to him his identity as a god and the fact that they were connected by blood in an almost savior-like manner, Star-Lord's heart was filled with shock and confusion.

He was once moved by Ego's words, thinking that although Ego failed to fulfill his fatherly responsibilities for some reason, he still loved him deep in his heart.

However, the truth is always cruel.

In the following tests, Ego discovered that Star-Lord contained a rare divine factor in his body, which meant that Star-Lord was not only the continuation of his bloodline, but also one of his tribesmen he had been looking for for a long time.

At this moment, Ego's attitude changed drastically.

Ego's long journey in the universe is not only to find lost tribesmen, but also to spread his genes to various planets in order to create more offspring with divine powers.

However, after countless attempts, only Star-Lord inherited this mysterious power.

Ego began to reflect that perhaps it was the pure love between him and Star-Lord's mother that gave Star-Lord a unique meaning of existence.

Unlike other lives created by means, Star-Lord is the fruit of love and a witness to the sincere feelings of both parents.

The existence of Star-Lord proves that even higher life forms cannot resist the power of emotions.

Ego couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had cherished the time with Star-Lord's mother more, perhaps they could have had more outstanding children like Star-Lord.

However, the reality cannot be changed.

When Ego finally decided to reveal his plan to Star-Lord and proposed to share the entire universe with him, Star-Lord's reaction was beyond his expectations.

In Ego's eyes, Star-Lord should feel excited and honored to be the future master of the universe. However, Star-Lord's reaction was like a bucket of cold water, which extinguished the enthusiasm in Ego's heart.

Star-Lord's face did not show the excitement and glory that Ego expected, but a look of confusion and rejection. In Star-Lord's view, life should be simple and direct. What he pursued was nothing more than endless wealth and freedom, the kind of ease and comfort of being able to spend happy time with many beautiful women without Gamora knowing.

He has never thought of dominating the universe, and he doesn't want to see all interstellar civilizations disappear under his rule. What kind of loneliness and cruelty would that be?

Ego couldn't understand Star-Lord's thoughts. In his opinion, becoming the master of the universe and sharing endless power and glory with his only relative was something many people dreamed of.

He tried to convince Star-Lord, telling him that as long as they joined forces, they could spread the seeds of clones throughout the universe and eventually become the only two gods, ruling everything.

But Star-Lord's heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

He looked at Igo's eyes full of expectation and anger and felt unprecedented pressure.

He knew that once he agreed to Ego, his life would change completely. He would lose his original freedom and happiness and become a ruler of the universe. What kind of life would that be?
He couldn't imagine.

So he chose to refuse and to run away.

Star-Lord awakened the power of a god, and his speed became extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, leaving overlapping afterimages in the air.

His figure shuttled through the air.

He was filled with fear and tension.

He knew that as long as he could escape Egg's pursuit, he could continue to live the life he wanted, a simple and straightforward life.

Ego's clones followed closely behind, like a group of crazy hounds, searching for Star-Lord's traces.

Their numbers are increasing, as if they are going to cover the entire interior space of the planet in their search.

However, Star-Lord is so fast, and his divine powers make him extremely powerful. Even the divine powers he has just mastered make him stronger than most superheroes or villains.

Ego's clones were unable to track him and could only wander helplessly in space.

Star-Lord was also very panicked at this time. The divine power in his body made him feel omnipotent, but he didn't know how to use this power.

He was like a little deer lost in the forest, helpless and confused.

He tried to control his fear and nervousness, but the power surged in his body, making it impossible for him to calm down.

The densely packed clones blocked all the roads. They wanted to seal off the entire space and not give Star-Lord any chance to escape.

However, Star-Lord did not give up.

He used his speed and flexibility to dash left and right amidst the encirclement of his clones, looking for a chance to escape.

In fact, with the divine power in Star-Lord's body, as long as he is not facing Ego's real body, it will be futile to have more clones.

But he was too unconfident. He always felt that he was not strong enough and that he would fail.

He forgot that the blood of the gods flows in his body and he possesses the power to change the universe.
