Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 631 Planning for Planet Igor
As the spaceship rose, Smith Doyle and his crew left Earth and headed to Ego's planet.

With the help of Mantis, Ego fell asleep in front of everyone on the spaceship.

Star-Lord looked at the sleeping Ego and pulled a photograph from his leather jacket—a childhood photo of his father.

Apart from the sleeping Igor, everyone sat together.

Star-Lord looked at Mantis and said:
Can I ask you a personal question?

Mantis glanced at everyone, then looked at Star-Lord and said:

"No one has asked me any personal questions yet."

Smith Doyle knew that Mantis was currently a blank slate. Although there was a lot of vegetation on Ego's planet, there was no life other than the two of them. Having no experience in communicating with people and society, she didn't understand many things.

Star-Lord asked curiously:
"What are your tentacles for?"

The praying mantis woman repeated in confusion:
"What is the purpose of the tentacles?"

The Destroyer spoke up from the side:
"Yes, Quill and I made a bet."

Smith Doyle and Gamora simply watched the two clowns without saying a word.

Hearing Drax say it outright, Star-Lord said, annoyed:

"Dude, you shouldn't have said that!"

Drax looked at Mantis with a serious expression and asked:
“I said, when you’re about to cross a very low doorway, your antennae can sense the height and prevent you from hitting your head.”

Upon hearing Drax's words, both Smith Doyle and Gamora smiled.

Star-Lord then said:
“Yes, if it’s for any purpose other than preventing head injuries, then I win.”

The Mantis Woman glanced at the two of them and said:
"They are not used to sense door frames."

Drax sighed when he saw he had lost, while Star-Lord laughed.

The Mantis continued:
"I think they are related to my ability to empathize."

Gamora then asked:
"what is that?"

The Mantis Woman began to explain:

"When I touch others, I can feel how they feel."

Star-Lord asked curiously:
"Can you read minds?"

The Mantis Woman shook her head and said:
"No."

"Telepathy is the perception of thoughts, while empathy is the perception of feelings and emotions."

Then Mantis stretched out her arm and looked at Star-Lord, asking:

"May I?"

Star-Lord nodded and said:
"can."

Mantis placed her hand on Star-Lord's hand, and the antennae on her forehead glowed as she used her powers.

"You are filled with love."

Star-Lord nodded and said:

"With love, a selfless love for all people."

The Mantis Woman spoke up:
"No!"

"It's romantic, carnal love."

Star-Lord quickly denied it:
"No, I didn't."

The Mantis pointed at Gamora and said:
"I love her!"

Seeing the way everyone was looking at him, Star-Lord quickly said:
No, it's not...

"Ha ha ha ha"

Drax burst into laughter, pointing at Peter Quill and saying:
"She revealed your deepest secret!"

Star-Lord, enraged, said:

"Dude, come on, you're overreacting!"

Drax continued, laughing, "

You must be so embarrassed!

Smith Doyle couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he looked at the lively Drax.

Drax patted his chest excitedly and said:
"Come and sense me, try me out!"

After touching Drax's chest, Mantis laughed along, and immediately said with a laugh:

"I've never felt such humor before!"

Then, together with Drax, they laughed and pointed at Peter Quill. At this moment, Star-Lord was so embarrassed that he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes.

Star-Lord looked at Gamora beside him and said:
"It's just unbelievably disgusting."

Mantis stood up, walked towards Smith Doyle, and asked:
Can I feel you?

Smith Doyle smiled and began to speak:
"You can give it a try; I'm also a little curious."

As he spoke, Smith Doyle mobilized his internal energy, enveloping his entire body.

The Mantis reached out and touched Smith Doyle's palm. The antennae on her forehead lit up again, but she frowned.

"I...I can't feel it."

"It's as if something is blocking me, as if I'm trapped in a void of the universe."

Upon hearing Mantis's words, Smith Doyle thought to himself that Qi could indeed perform such detection and perception.

"It seems that this ability is not effective for everyone."

At this moment, Mantis was a little confused. She felt that she had not actually touched Smith Doyle, but she was clearly touching the back of his hand.

He then got up and reached out to Gamora to check if there was a problem with his abilities.

However, before Mantis could even touch Gamora, Gamora grabbed her wrist.

"If you dare touch me, all you'll feel is a broken arm."

At this moment, Smith Doyle looked at Gamora with great interest, not daring to let the Mantis touch her. Gamora's biggest secret at this moment was probably the location of the Soul Stone.

Smith Doyle had no intention of retrieving the Soul Stone himself.

He wouldn't trade his beloved's life and the Soul Gem for a one-for-one deal; he wouldn't make such a losing proposition.

Let others handle this. As long as Thanos doesn't collect all the Infinity Stones, that's fine. In reality, he doesn't care whether he collects them all or not.

At this moment, the Mantis Woman looked at everyone and said:
"I can also subtly alter people's emotions."

Star-Lord asked curiously:
"for example?"

The Mantis Woman began to explain:

“If I encounter a sad person, I can comfort them and give them temporary satisfaction; I can make a stubborn person compliant.”

"But I mainly use my abilities to help my master fall asleep, because he can't sleep at night because he's thinking about his offspring."

Upon hearing Mantis's account, Smith Doyle realized that if Mantis's abilities were further developed, they would be incredibly powerful, encompassing emotions, desires, telepathy, and the ability to induce sleep. If used properly, they could be a devastating weapon.

Even Thanos with the four Infinity Stones in the movie could be instantly controlled by Mantis using this move when she ambushed him.

Star-Lord's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

But Smith Doyle knew that the offspring Ego desired was one who would inherit his divine power and help him rule the universe, not simply one who did not inherit divine power.

You must know that countless remains of descendants lie within that cave. Drax, hearing Mantis's explanation, exclaimed excitedly:

"Try that on me."

The Mantis placed her hand on Drax's forehead and said:
"Go to sleep."

Drax instantly slumped backward and fell into a deep sleep, even snoring.

Star-Lord and Gamora were shocked by this scene, but Smith Doyle, who already knew the answer, was unsurprised.

Looking at the unconscious Drax, Star-Lord turned to Smith Doyle and said:

"To be honest, the changes on Earth are so great that they have exceeded my expectations, especially your strength."

Are you really from Earth?

"I heard you even flew to outer space."

Smith Doyle looked at Star-Lord and said:
"Yes."

Based on this body, he shouldn't be considered an Earthling now; he looks more like a Saiyan. However, Smith Doyle didn't say that he was a Saiyan or a Namekian.

"Flying into outer space, you might find in the future that I am not the only Earthling with this ability."

Smith Doyle thought of Captain Marvel, who was a being who could traverse the universe in her physical body, and Sentinels with the power of a million stars could also do so.

Star-Lord widened his eyes and said:
"There will be more than one person in the future. I am also an Earthling. How can I not be that powerful?"

Smith Doyle looked at Star-Lord and said:

"It's not impossible."

In Smith Doyle's view, if Ego can create clones to traverse the universe, then Star-Lord, who inherits Ego's divine power, may not be without the opportunity.

He did not intend to destroy Planet Ego directly, but rather to preserve the planet for planting the fruits of the Spirit Tree.

Ego's planet won't be destroyed directly, giving Star-Lord, who inherits Ego's power, a chance to strengthen himself instead of being taken offline after using a cheat once.

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's words, Star-Lord also thought of Ego, who was already asleep, and realized that Ego might inherit his divine power and become incredibly powerful.

······
the other side.

On Earth, Rocket Raccoon and Groot remained, and he continued working on repairing the spaceship.

While Rocket Raccoon appears to be repairing the spaceship, his investigation into the Dragon Balls continues unabated.

Finally, perseverance paid off. Rocket Raccoon used the network at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base to discover the true function of the Dragon Balls.

"sky!"

"So that's the kind of ability it is. No wonder Ronan dared to demand that Xandar be destroyed in order to retrieve the Dragon Balls."

"If you collect all seven Dragon Balls, you can summon Shenron from Smith Doyle and make any wish upon him."

"Any wish, it's simply incredible."

"The reason why people who died in the Battle of New York were resurrected during the New Easter on Earth must also be because of the Dragon Balls."

At this moment, Rocket Raccoon was extremely excited. Smith Doyle was not on Earth at the moment. Could I steal him?

However, it seems that making a wish requires Smith Doyle's permission, so he probably wouldn't carry it with him around.
If he doesn't carry it with him, where would he store it?
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters? Capsule Corp.? Or the headquarters of the League of Assassins?

In that instant, Rocket Raccoon was thinking a lot. Just then, the Milan spacecraft received a communication link request.

Rocket Raccoon was somewhat exasperated; his daydream had been interrupted at this crucial moment, as he was already pondering how to utilize this wish.

For example, you could wish for three things to come, and then do this and that...

Rocket Raccoon finally pressed the communication link button, and Yondu's voice came through.

"Quail, how's it going on your end?"

"Are you alright? A group of space pirates invaded Earth not long ago, but they all died."

Rocket Raccoon began to speak:
"Star-Lord isn't here."

Yondu spoke up:
"It's you, little mouse."

Where did Quill go?

Rocket Raccoon didn't hide anything and immediately said:
"His father came looking for him, this guy named Ego, and he took Star-Lord to his planet."

Yondu exclaimed in surprise:
"what?"

"Igor?"

"Oh no, something's going to happen to Quill."

Yondu didn't say much and simply hung up the call.

Rocket Raccoon shouted:

"Yondu, Yondu?"

"What do you mean by 'something's going to happen'?"

On the other side, inside the Marauder ship, Yondu was also becoming anxious.

Yondu had come to regard Peter Quill as his own son over the years, and he had never pursued the matter of Quill's repeated betrayals as a joke between father and son.

He had noticed the crew's discontent to some extent, but he hadn't paid any attention to it because of the whistle.

Although his Raider ship was a large spaceship with many auxiliary compartments, it was incredibly powerful and carried a large number of Raiders.

But none of these posed a threat to him; he could easily slaughter all the raiders on the ship if he wanted to.

Thinking about his experience raising Peter Quill, Yondu decided to rescue him from Ego. He knew Ego's true colors and the fate of Peter Quill's half-siblings.

Yondu immediately gave the order:
"Departure, heading to coordinates XX, XXX, Planet Igor."

One of the subordinates asked:
"Boss, aren't we going to wait for Star-Lord to bring back the Dragon Balls?"

Yondu looked at the subordinate who had spoken and immediately said:
"They've been kidnapped, aren't you going to chase after them?"

"Without Peter Quill, what became of the other raiders who entered Earth? Have you seen it?"

"I don't want the seven hundred million star coins anymore!"

Upon hearing their boss say this, the subordinate immediately shouted:

"Yes, boss!"

"Change coordinates, full speed ahead, quick!"

"Rescue Peter Quill! For seven hundred million, charge!"

Although Rocket Raccoon didn't know why Yondu said that, he guessed that Igor had a conspiracy.

He immediately stopped thinking about the Dragon Balls; he needed to focus on repairing the spaceship and rescuing Star-Lord. As for the Dragon Balls, there was still the World Martial Arts Tournament as an opportunity.

······
the other side.

On the other side of the fruit core spaceship.

After a series of spatial node jumps and dark universe traversals, they finally arrived at Ego's planet after a day of travel.

The group stood on the aircraft, which then carried them out of the spaceship.

Smith Doyle looked at the environment before him and nodded secretly. This place was indeed beautiful and also indicated that the energy of Planet Ego was absolutely abundant, making it an excellent location for planting the fruits of the Spirit Tree.

The question now is how to seal or restrict Ego while preserving everything on the planet.

Killing Ego was Smith Doyle's last resort, as he feared it would cause the entire planet to collapse.

Of course, upon closer examination, there is a solution. Rocket Raccoon's bomb can't be so powerful as to destroy any planet, can it? It seems we need to devise a better plan.
