Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

As the dial of the small, worn-out watch rotated, an icon resembling a glowing planet appeared on it—

That represents the exclusive energy icon of the Celestial Race!

Snapped!

Peter tapped the broken watch lightly, and in the next second, he instantly changed his voice.

This is probably the least noticeable of all his transformations.

There were no special effects; only Peter himself could perceive the changes in his body.

At this moment, he had completely transformed into a humanoid energy body!

He can freely manipulate his body to make any shape change!

It can also unleash energy attacks that are more powerful than anyone could imagine.

Moreover, he has 100% control over this kind of energy attack!

Just like how humans can use their fingers flexibly!

Perhaps because Peter's change was so subtle, Igor was completely unaware.

At this moment, he was still rambling on and on in his final, frantic speech.

"You inferior beings, you cannot stop me! Once the self-destruction begins, there is no possibility of interruption. You are destined to perish together with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Peter had already plunged his hand directly into Ego's energy core.

The palm passed through the crystal-like outer shell, probing deep into the core, which was entirely composed of energy.

Ego's long speech suddenly stopped, and a blank expression appeared on his face that the Mantis Woman had never seen before.

It felt like someone suddenly saw...another version of themselves!

Seeing his dazed expression, Peter couldn't help but tilt his head at him, revealing a mocking smile:

"Go on, weren't you speaking very loudly just now?"

Igor didn't respond.

He was speechless.

Because he realized something that this ancient being, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, could not accept no matter what—the energy within his body was flowing out.

It wasn't a leak, it was a torrent.

Like a dam bursting or an avalanche suddenly erupting, the divine energy he had accumulated over hundreds of millions of years was now surging into Peter's body at an absurdly fast speed.

Moreover, once his energy was absorbed by Peter, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, completely severing its connection with his body and receiving no further response.

Even as the energy dissipates, he can vaguely sense that he has been sowing and laying out energy seeds in the universe for billions of years.

At this moment, they are also disconnecting from his body one by one!

Finally, Ego came to his senses and couldn't help but let out a roar.

This time, everyone present could clearly hear the terror and madness contained within it:

"You damned inferior creature, what have you done to me?!"

"I didn't do anything."

Peter shrugged, then inserted his other hand into Igor's core, his expression as calm as if he were discussing the weather:

"I'm just absorbing a little energy from you, not much, just... all of you."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Peter... is absorbing the energy of a planet?!

And they even threatened to suck it dry?!

How could such a thing be possible!

"Impossible! This is impossible! I have lived for billions of years, no one can take away my energy..."

“Old Deng,” Peter interrupted him, “you don’t have many minutes left to live. Are you sure you want to waste your limited life on these pointless conversations?”

Igor's face flushed crimson, but his voice was unusually pale:

"You're talking nonsense! You're dreaming!"

"My consciousness covers countless planets."

"My seeds have taken root throughout the universe."

"Over the past billions of years, I have absorbed energy equivalent to that of an entire sun!"

"By absorbing me, you are forcibly stuffing a cosmic-level life structure into your body."

"By doing this, you'll only burst yourself!"

Upon hearing Ego's words, Star-Lord and the others couldn't help but exchange glances.

Rocket, the smartest person in the crowd, couldn't help but look at Sif and say:

"I think what Old Deng said makes sense. Won't your boyfriend run into problems by doing this?"

"Don't worry!" Sif said with a relaxed expression, even taking the time to pull out her phone and open a single-player game developed by Peter to pass the time.

"Peter never fights a battle he's not prepared for!"

As time passed, everyone gradually noticed that Igor's body... was starting to shrink again.

And the speed at which it shrinks is frighteningly fast.

When he shrunk for the first time, he was only about 30 to 50 meters tall.

At that moment, in less than a minute, he was reduced to less than ten meters tall.

Sif, whose game ended due to a mistake, looked up and saw Ego getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but say:

"That's about it."

"What do you mean, almost done?" The Mantis Woman's voice trembled slightly.

Sif glanced at her and Star-Lord beside her, and added casually:

"Your father is almost finished."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Igor began to beg for mercy.

His voice changed from a frantic roar to a humble plea.

At this moment, his energy form began to dissipate faintly, and the originally clear outline of his facial features gradually became blurred.

"Young man, I think we can have a good talk. You are the strongest person I have ever seen in this universe. If we can cooperate, I can share many things you need!"

"My knowledge."

"My star chart".

"I have witnessed the origins and development of many civilizations since the birth of the universe."

"I even know many cosmic taboos that even the most powerful forces in the universe are unaware of."

"I can teach you how to seed inside a planet, how to evolve life, and how to create new energy containers."

Faced with Igor's patient persuasion, everyone was genuinely worried that Peter would agree to his request.

But Peter ultimately did not disappoint them.

His answer was concise and to the point:

"Idiot!"

"Is it possible that after you die, all these things will also become mine?"

"What right do you have to negotiate with me now?"

When Igor realized that persuasion was ineffective, he decisively switched targets:

"Quill." He looked at Star-Lord, his eyes pleading.

Star-Lord froze.

"Child, stop him! Can you allow a stranger to kill your father in front of you?"

Gamora immediately stepped in front of Star-Lord:

Don't listen.

Star-Lord, however, did not choose to obey.

He stepped out from behind Gamora, raising his energy gun and aiming it at Ego's head.

Bang!

Star-Lord pulled the trigger, yelling:

"I've said it before, I only have one father, and that's Yondu!"

Star-Lord fired several shots in a fit of rage:

"This shot was for my mother."

"This shot was for Yondu."

"This shot is for those brothers and sisters you carelessly abandoned."

"This shot is for... for you spying on my friend's girlfriend just now."

Peter paused involuntarily when he heard Star-Lord's last words.

He couldn't help but turn around and praise Star-Lord:

"You little rascal, that's good, now you've broadened your path!"
