Black-robed Superman from a certain American comic book

The next second, the priestess who had been staring intently at Jupiter immediately leaned back in her chair with a look of terror on her face.

"Shh!"

In the instant the priestess panicked, the soldiers immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at Jupiter and his entourage.

"What, are you going to fight?"

Jupiter glanced around at the soldiers holding weapons and pointing them at him, and asked in a cold voice.

"Stop! Let them leave!"

The priestess on the throne looked at the guards who had raised their weapons, a hint of panic flashing across her face. She immediately stopped them in a cold voice.

"Shh!"

After receiving the priestess's order, the soldiers exchanged glances and immediately put away their weapons, which had been aimed at Jupiter and the others.

"let's go!"

After Jupiter turned around, he walked directly to the front of the group and addressed the Guardians of the Galaxy in a deep voice.

"Forehead……"

The group, who had been in a defensive stance ready to fight, immediately turned around after hearing Jupiter's words and followed him unimpeded towards their stationary spaceship.

"High Priest, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"They clearly have no respect for you!"

After the guards left the palace, a soldier looked at his priest and asked him something.

"It doesn't matter, let them go, let them leave here as soon as possible, leave our planet."

A few beads of sweat appeared on the priestess's forehead, and her eyes were filled with fear.

When she gazed at Jupiter, she saw not a man, but a huge firebird with bared fangs and claws, making a clanging sound!

The moment the priestess saw the firebird, she knew that Jupiter was someone they could not afford to offend.

"To actually notice the Phoenix Force, he truly lives up to his reputation as the Sorcerer Adam..."

Jupiter walked ahead of the group, muttering to himself. In truth, if he could, he wouldn't want to clash with these golden little idiots. He didn't understand the importance of Adam Warlock in the MCU. If Adam Warlock's mission was to take over the court, then Jupiter would have torn up the golden statuette the moment he stepped in, and the court would be inviting him for tea the next day. Jupiter wasn't going to risk offending an omnipotent cosmic-level big shot for a bunch of trash.

"Jupiter, is your identity special?"

"You guys didn't notice, but that golden-haired stinky b*tch was terrified like a super stinky b*tch when he saw Jupiter!"

Rocket Raccoon's lips curled up, seemingly amused by the golden priest's expression.

"Shut up, these people hold grudges, let's get out of this awful place!"

"I feel uneasy if I don't stay here for even a second longer."

Star-Lord frowned. He didn't want to waste any more time here. His premonition was quite accurate. Since he sensed that staying here would lead to danger, it was basically a foregone conclusion.

"it is good!"

After listening to Star-Lord's words, everyone boarded the spaceship and returned to their respective positions. Then, the spaceship was started up, while Jupiter stood with his arms crossed in front of him, quietly watching the group take off.

“Brother Jupiter, keep an eye on Nebula for us, she’s very unruly.”

As Star-Lord was starting up the spaceship with Rocket Raccoon, he seemed to remember something and looked at Jupiter standing behind him, making a request.

“Simple.” Jupiter nodded, then looked at Nebula, whose hands and feet were bound by handcuffs and shackles. “From now on, I’ll be watching you.”

"Forehead……"

After hearing Jupiter's words, Nebula bared her teeth at him, seemingly emphasizing her ferocity.

"You're acting strange."

Jupiter looked at the nebula that kept baring its teeth at him, raised an eyebrow, and then pointed a finger at the nebula.

As Jupiter pointed at Nebula, she suddenly felt her body becoming increasingly hot. Then, all the metal prosthetics on her body fell off, and her cells began to regenerate, filling the tissue that had increased due to the loss of the prosthetics.

A beautiful woman with blue skin and long, flowing hair appeared inside the spaceship.

"Ah, this..."

Jupiter frowned as he looked at the blue nebula. Now it wasn't a non-issue; the skin color was indeed a bit strange.

"..."

Everyone else in the room, including Nebula herself, was stunned.

"Hey, Jupiter, are you a god?"

Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but look at Jupiter and ask.

After hearing Rocket Raccoon's words, everyone else in the spaceship's control room pricked up their ears, eager to hear what was going on.

Gamora, in particular, looked at Nebula and Jupiter with incredibly complex emotions.

"Haha, I'm not a god, he is..."

Jupiter smiled, shook his head, and then pointed at Star-Lord.

"I!?"

This time, not only Rocket Raccoon and Gamora, but even Star-Lord himself was incredulous.

"Haha, Jupiter, you're really joking. Star-Lord is a god? He's probably just a god of the lowly!"

Rocket Raccoon assumed Jupiter didn't want to talk about it, so he jokingly moved on from the topic.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone inside the house laughed heartily after hearing what the raccoon said, with the Destroyer laughing the most.

"Ha ha……"

Jupiter chuckled twice along with the others, trying to appear as sociable as possible, and then continued to wait for Star-Lord's father to arrive.

"Hey, how did you do that?"

“Even my father couldn’t do this.”

Nebula looked at the metal prosthetic limb that had fallen off the ground, and then at her beautiful self through the mirror inside the spaceship. Her eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at Jupiter.

"I wanted to do it, so I did it."

"As for your father Thanos, he is not a healing-type Eternal, so of course he cannot use healing abilities."

Jupiter answered Nebula's questions with utter boredom.

"The Eternals..."

Nebula frowned, seemingly pondering the meaning behind Jupiter's words.

"In any case, I will not thank you. It was not me who restored you to your original appearance. On the contrary, I preferred my previous appearance."

Nebula spoke to Jupiter with a lie.

"You don't need to thank me. I was just bored and asked you to test my abilities to pass the time. Besides, you looked terrible just now. Now, at least you look much better except for your skin color."

Jupiter listened to Nebula's inner thoughts and was somewhat speechless. The last time he heard so many of her innermost thoughts was when Tornado did.

“Hey, did you hear that? Jupiter said I’m a god! That priestess said my father was extraordinary, which could very well mean my father is a god.”

Star-Lord is the type who'll immediately jump on any compliment someone gives him. After hearing Jupiter call him a god, and based on what he'd overheard from the priestess, he concluded that his father was likely a god. Of course, the most important thing was to boast and, incidentally, find himself a powerful father figure. After all, Gamora's father was the infamous and powerful Titan Thanos, and without a powerful father, it wouldn't be a good match...

After all, the whole universe values marriage between equals, just like in fairy tales, the prince always marries the princess.

"Hahaha, Jupiter is obviously just saying nice things for you because he feels sorry for you! You don't even know who your father is, how could Jupiter possibly know?"

Rocket Raccoon just laughed and laughed after hearing Star-Lord's words; he didn't believe that Star-Lord's father was really a god.

"Hey, I don't believe your father is really a god. He's probably just an unknown nobody."

Rocket Raccoon shook his head. Looking at Star-Lord's loser appearance, he could already guess what Star-Lord's father looked like. He must be just as loser as Star-Lord.

"Hey! Want to make a bet?"

Star-Lord's anger flared up as he looked at Rocket Raccoon defiantly.

"You say you'll bet? Fine, let's bet! Tell me how you want to bet? Whatever you bet, I'll play along to the end!"

Rocket is no pushover when it comes to betting. He gets really into it when it comes to gambling. He's never lost a bet since he was born!

"Then let's bet... bet that my father isn't a god!"

Star-Lord's eyes gleamed; he had seized the initiative.

"Hey! You're cheating! How can you be so shameless?"

Rocket Raccoon's eyes widened after hearing Star-Lord's words. This was the first time he had encountered such a shameless person. Someone actually bet against him. Wasn't that just being a scoundrel?

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not gambling anymore!"

Rocket Raccoon shook his head in anger. He was not playing anymore, he was not betting anymore, he simply couldn't win this game.

"Ah ha ha……"

Star-Lord laughed rather rudely.

"I gave you a chance, but you were useless!"

"You really are someone who doesn't have the courage to gamble with me."

Star-Lord smirked, mocking Rocket Raccoon as if trying to provoke him into joining the betting game.

"I don't gamble! Don't even think about making me gamble!"

"Provocation won't work on me!"

Rocket Raccoon doesn't listen to Star-Lord at all. In his eyes, Star-Lord is a liar and a real scoundrel, and he can't be fooled.

"Humph~"

Star-Lord snorted and raised his chin smugly.
