Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

Rocket and Star-Lord exchanged a glance, both understanding the thoughts in each other's eyes.

"Forget it, let's get closer and take a closer look first!"

Then, Star-Lord abruptly started the ship and flew towards the nebula, preparing to observe it up close.

"Wait, something's not right!"

Just as their ship was about to approach the nebula, Rocket suddenly spoke up to stop Star-Lord from getting any closer.

"Damn it, what's going on here? Why is there so much space debris?"

Just as the spaceship was about to approach, the nebula began to churn rapidly.

And behind the nebula, impurities resembling space debris are constantly spewing out as the nebula surges.

The sheer number of them resembled a pile of garbage dumped out in an instant.

It nearly buried the spaceship, which couldn't avoid it, completely.

"Fake!"

Suddenly, as a pile of space debris was dumped out, the violently rolling nebula abruptly stopped, then suddenly accelerated, changed direction, and sped away.

Their speed was even several points faster than that of their spaceship.

"Could this nebula be alive?"

Star-Lord and the others were filled with shock as they watched the rapidly departing nebula.

This nebula seems to be a living thing with life and consciousness.

"Wait, look, isn't that the planet you were talking about, the one with intelligent life?"

After the group turned their attention away from the rapidly drifting nebula...

Only then did they finally see that a terribly damaged planet had emerged in the area that had just been shrouded in nebula.

The planet's surface was covered with huge cracks, filled with an aura of death, and the entire planet was almost split in two.

The exposed star core has long since lost all its luster and vitality.

At this moment, this planet has become a dead star, destined to become space junk, drifting in the universe.

"This planet has completely lost all life and energy. Its nature has undergone a tremendous change, and it is not even as good as a space meteorite."

"It's as if all the energy in it has been completely absorbed by something."

The rocket, maneuvering the spaceship's probes, examined the planet's current state and discovered this astonishing conclusion.

"A nebula that devours planetary energy? Have you ever heard of this legend that's famous throughout the universe?"

Suddenly, Star-Lord's expression changed, as if he had thought of something terrible.

……

Chapter 124 The Pursuit of the God Ego

In fact, Star-Lord and his companions arrived relatively late, so they did not witness the full extent of what happened before the planet's destruction.

Before that massive nebula completely engulfed this planet inhabited by intelligent life.

In fact, there once was a dazzling streak of light, moving at extremely high speed through the universe, constantly searching for planets teeming with intelligent life.

Finally, after finding the planet, they sent a signal into space.

Then, the enormous nebula capable of devouring planets arrived at an extremely fast speed.

It enveloped the entire planet, then devoured all intelligent life and vitality on it.

It turned into a completely desolate dead star.

And while that nebula was devouring the planet.

The first group of figures to arrive had already transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the cosmos.

Traveling among countless galaxies, once again searching for a planet to feed on that conscious, life-devouring nebula.

This process has continued for countless years since the birth of the universe.

It has long been a source of fear in the universe, forming a kind of cosmic legend.

after a while.

On a certain prosperous planet.

In a special city that provides a one-stop service for rest and entertainment for countless teams of space raiders.

Star-Lord's spaceship slowly landed on it.

"Damn it, I never expected to run into such a terrifying cosmic legend right after escaping from that cold prison."

Even though some time had passed, Star-Lord still felt a chill as he stepped off the spaceship.

After all, that's a terrifying legend from the civilized universe.

It is said that none of those who saw that nebula escaped alive.

It is already incredibly incredible that they were able to survive such a terrifying legend.

He couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate.

"Star-Lord, is that thing really that scary?"

Seeing that Star-Lord was still in a state of fear, Rocket couldn't help but ask with some doubt and curiosity.

Since he was created by the Supreme Evolution less than ten years ago, he naturally has not heard of this ancient legend of the universe.

"Little raccoon, you have no idea how terrifying that thing is!"

Star-Lord spoke slowly, his face still showing lingering fear.

"That thing is said to be the oldest existence in the universe, which appeared at the very beginning of the universe."

"It roams the universe year after year, like a ravenous demon, constantly devouring anything it sees."

"However, despite eating continuously, I still felt intensely hungry."

"It has even been given infamous names by countless people, such as the god of world destruction, planet killer, and cosmic devourer."

According to legend, its appetite does not decrease as it keeps eating, but rather increases.

"As time goes by, it might even swallow the entire universe..."

As Star-Lord recounted his story, a hint of doubt crept across Rocket's face.

"Star-Lord, are you sure this isn't a lie your mother made up to scare you, specifically to frighten children?"

"Go to hell, you damn bear, believe it or not!"

In fact, Star-Lord had never taken this terrifying legend circulating within the Raiders Legion seriously.

But now that the facts are before it, it has no choice but to believe them.

After all, he had just witnessed a massive planet instantly turn into a dead star as it was devoured by that terrifying nebula.

"Alright, let's stop talking about that scary thing. I think we should go and have some fun to make up for the fright I just experienced."

Drax, with his憨厚 (honest and simple) face, seemed completely oblivious to the conversation between the two.

His gaze remained fixed on the upscale restaurant not far away, inhaling the aroma emanating from it, his mouth practically watering.

“That’s right, to celebrate our escape from the crisis, we really should have a good meal and then go have some fun…”

Finally, the look of terror on Star-Lord's face completely disappeared, and he immediately led the way to the luxurious restaurant.

"Wait, Star-Lord..."

Drax followed without hesitation, leaving Rocket looking at their retreating figures with a hint of hesitation.

"Do these two guys have any money on them?"

The Rockets haven't forgotten their previous treasure hunt failed.

"Forget it, if things really come to a head, we'll just sell that big oaf as an interstellar slave to pay off the debt."

After hesitating for a moment, Rocket revealed a sly smile and then followed.

……

Soon, the three found themselves in a restaurant catering specifically to space raiders.

Enjoying a delicious and sumptuous dinner.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Star-Lord is alright; at least he can still maintain some elegance.

But Rocket and that big oaf Drax didn't care about anyone else's opinions, as if there was no one else in the universe they cared about.

The way they wolfed down their food was like that of a starving ghost reincarnated.

In just a few minutes, the delicious dishes that had just been served were reduced to a mess by the two of them fighting over them.

"Fake!"

Star-Lord, his face splattered with food scraps, glared angrily at the two men fighting over the food.

"Forget it, I won't stoop to their level."

After eating a simple meal, Star-Lord glanced at the two who were still wolfing down their food.

Then he quietly left the table and went to a secluded corner.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Star-Lord looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before walking toward a green-skinned alien waitress in the restaurant.

"Um... could you take me to the third floor...?"

Star-Lord seemed to know this place very well, and said in a low voice.

"Okay sir, please follow me."

The waiter glanced at Star-Lord, as if he had thought of something, and then led the way to the darkened elevator.

"Huh? Where's that bastard Star-Lord?"
