No, it should be said that it was a deformed child.
It was a disgrace to the Celestials… As they thought about it,
the group arrived at the jungle.
Following the path cleared by the researchers, they walked directly to where the Celestial Flower was located.
Here,
a dozen people in white lab coats were busy.
Aaron waved everyone away and walked straight to the Celestial Flower.
It was beautiful, but also very dangerous!
Chapter 52: Celestial Body, I Don't Sell My Things to Beasts
In a place invisible to others,
Aaron's powerful X-ray vision could easily penetrate dozens of meters underground.
The roots of the Celestial Flower continued to extend downwards, seemingly having reached the Earth's core.
Once activated, it could instantly draw an endless supply of energy from the Earth's core, transforming into a 'Pandora' that would destroy the surface.
But now,
it was here, completely powerless to resist Aaron's smelting.
Placing his hand on the Celestial Flower's delicate bud,
a black hole enveloped the Celestial Flower, pulling out its roots as well, which were continuously smelted.
[Heart of the Celestial (Brain): You possess the powerful potential of a Celestial. You only need to bury yourself in the Earth's core, and after hundreds of millions of years, you will grow into a new member of the Celestials (limited by Ego's potential, the complete form is a stellar system-level energy body, possessing an indestructible dimensional armor, and controlling the power of cosmic rules).]
[Pseudo-Celestial Body: You have acquired the unique Celestial Power of the Celestials, possessing considerable energy resistance and powerful magical damage, as well as immortal lifespan and strong self-healing ability, further enhancing your physical body.]
[Psychic Power (Incomplete): You possess considerable psychic power and psychic resistance, but it is not yet fully developed.]
[Matter Manipulation: You have mastered considerable micro-particle manipulation ability, allowing you to control surrounding molecules to rapidly reconstruct into different objects according to your will (if you're feeling reckless, you can create a small planet yourself, then bury your brain in it and become a living planet).]
[Parasitic Pandora: You can create clone seeds and implant them on planets. Once divine power is activated, they will rapidly destroy everything on the surface, becoming another you (avatar).]
[Life Seed (Harem King Seed): Your seed has mutated, gaining the ability to hit its target every time, but you can control it (Congratulations, you've become a Harem King!).]
It must be said that Ego was indeed a member of the Celestials. Even though he was just a deformed child that had only been born for tens of millions of years and was underdeveloped, he still lived up to the name of a god.
The five abilities he gained were all abnormal.
As for the sixth? It seemed pretty abnormal too?
A super Harem King could probably establish a kingdom of children and grandchildren connected by bloodline in just one generation.
If evil enough, he could even let his genes pollute the entire world.
Perhaps even turn the Earth hundreds of years later into his own sons and grandsons?
Aaron thought about it and was greatly shocked.
It turned out that this ability was the most abnormal!
He quickly discarded this extremely abnormal thought.
"What a pity. If Ego were a fully developed Celestial, the traits smelted out would be even more powerful, wouldn't they?"
Aaron couldn't wait hundreds of millions of years to slowly incubate, even if he could eventually become a stellar system-level god, capable of smashing the sun with one palm.
Even so, due to the Celestials' characteristics, he could now swim in the core of planets, absorbing their life force to strengthen himself.
Moreover, he also possessed considerable psychic abilities and matter manipulation abilities.
He could completely absorb energy through different methods, allowing his life level to grow to its complete form, and thus more quickly master the power of a complete Celestial.
He could conjure a sun with his bare hands.
With a single thought, he could mobilize the four fundamental forces of the universe for his own use.
He would master the power of cosmic rules.
And possess an indestructible dimensional armor, making it trivial to withstand a stellar explosion.
The Ego-version traits Aaron had now only allowed him to master a weakened, deformed version of Celestial power.
But for Aaron, it was still a huge improvement.
He felt his power had grown even stronger.
His physical strength seemed inexhaustible.
With Celestial power combined with the supply from the sun's core, Aaron didn't even know his own limits.
"I really want to have a hearty battle!"
"I am too terrifying now!"
Aaron took a deep breath, and with a casual wave, the surrounding molecules gathered at his thought and once again formed a Celestial Flower.
But this was no longer Ego's parasitic seed, but his own.
After thinking for a moment, Aaron stripped it of its characteristics, and the flower quickly withered.
He placed it back in its original position.
Then he turned to leave.
"Let's go, we're heading back."
Norman tilted his head to look at the alien living plant, which was distinctly different from Earth plants.
Watching it wither quickly, he couldn't help but look regretful.
If anyone else had done that, Norman would have shown them the wrath of a capitalist.
But now,
"Didn't you hear? Demolish everything here, and burn all research data on the spot!"
"Then everyone, go to the finance department and get your money, all bonuses doubled!"
"Oh yeah!!"
Norman stayed there to ensure all data was destroyed.
Aaron trusted Norman greatly.
He glanced at the reluctant Helen Cho, a mysterious smile on his face.
"Want to study that plant?"
Helen Cho nodded.
"Then let's go back. I also have something similar here… if only you…"
Helen Cho's face suddenly turned red. She thought seriously for a moment and decided that for truth and great science, she would do it!
Felicia, beside them, remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything, but her plump, black-stockinged legs felt a bit weak.
Meanwhile, on the distant planet Ego.
Ego woke up from a nightmare.
"My seed!"
"Master?"
Mantis pulled her hand away from Ego's temple in a panic. She had never sensed such anger from Ego before.
"My ability failed?"
Ego shook his head, his face somewhat anxious.
"No, it's not your fault, you're great!"
Ego got up and walked to the main hall of the temple. With a wave of his right hand, a star map of the Milky Way appeared before him.
There were countless glowing points on it.
But these light points were not stars or planets, but 'life planets' that he had deliberately marked.
After spending hundreds of thousands or even millions of years creating a planet for his brain in his early years, he had been in solitude.
That undying urge for his own kind, for life, drove him to explore the stars, searching for other life.
However, when he encountered those lives, the joy and excitement disappeared, replaced by deep disappointment.
Those lives were too weak, too ignorant, too insignificant.
Compared to his magnificent self, their existence was a waste of air, a waste of matter.
From that moment on, Ego understood.
His deep-seated desire to find other life was not to transform into a human and wander among lives.
It was for eternity!
He wanted to create a world of equal, intelligent beings, exactly like him.
That would be himself, the entire world would be him!
So, he became a Harem King, traveling to different life-bearing planets, mating with women from one civilization after another, and then giving birth to descendants containing his genes.
He hoped to give birth to a descendant who inherited his Celestial genes. Together, they would activate the Celestial seeds on those marked life planets, transforming each world into him.
That would be eternity!
However, thousands of years passed,
He experienced disappointment after disappointment. His descendants were as foolish and fragile as ordinary life.
So he ruthlessly executed them, their remains casually piled underground.
The pain of failing to achieve his goal forced him to seek out Mantis, and with her empathy-modifying abilities, she helped him alleviate this anxious pain and fall asleep.
At this very moment,
He searched and saw a desolate star.
He lightly tapped with his index finger, pulling it open and enlarging it with both hands. Looking at the blue planet, Ego's face showed complexity.
"This is… Meredith's world…"
She was his water lily. He had loved her so much once, at least during that period, he only loved her, a true love.
Then, after the water lily became pregnant and gave birth to Peter Quill, he personally planted a brain tumor in her head and left alone, going to find another true love.
Before leaving, he also, as always, planted seeds on the planet, waiting for them to blossom and bear fruit.
However… "Who destroyed my seed!"
All feelings for Meredith vanished, and anger filled his heart. Ego's eyes, red with fury, gazed at the planet.
This world, which had given him a tiny bit of emotion but would ultimately be mercilessly erased by him.
His rage resonated throughout the entire planet. The moon-sized sphere erupted in violent tremors everywhere, as if in anger.
"Master?"
Facing the suddenly furious Ego, Mantis was at a loss.
Her empathy ability allowed her to clearly perceive Ego's current rage, like a volcano about to erupt, pregnant with infinite power.
Ego took a deep breath, and everything returned to calm.
"It's nothing, just some ignorant fools trying to thwart my plan."
Ego didn't care about a mere clone seed. If he wanted, he could create more seeds to parasitize other planets.
But he could not tolerate anyone disrupting his plan!
Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally, he had to find out the situation!
"Meredith, my water lily, please forgive my rudeness. I must descend upon your world once again."
