"Teacher, is this that living Planet? It looks pretty much like a normal living Planet, nothing special, right?"
After Kytheron and Eitri finished discussing the design and final appearance of the Green Lantern Central Power Battery, Kytheron left everything to the dwarves to complete. He then brought Jean to the outside of Ego.
Jean looked at Ego, which outwardly seemed no different from any other living Planet, and said to Kytheron.
"Don't rush, you'll find out how this guy is different from an ordinary Planet."
Just as Kytheron's words fell, a figure flew towards Kytheron from the Planet before them.
The next moment, standing before Kytheron and Jean was an old man with curly hair, dressed in a silver robe, and a benevolent face.
"Haha, the moment you appeared, I sensed a familiar aura. It seems I wasn't mistaken; you truly are a God of the Universe, one of my kind."
"My name is Ego, and the Planet behind me is my exclusive territory. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you as my guests!"
After sizing up Kytheron, Ego laughed heartily and eagerly approached, wanting to embrace Kytheron.
Ego, who appeared to be smiling, was actually filled with infinite jealousy and greed towards Kytheron.
Although he called himself a God, he was merely an incomplete defect, his true form only a brain.
The reason he could become what he was now was due to his gradual accumulation over countless years.
In the comics, Ego once received a boon from Galactus, gaining terrifying energy, instantly growing from a brain into a complete form, and stepping directly into the Multiverse level of power.
Now, upon seeing Kytheron, Ego's only thought was to find a way to trick Kytheron into trusting him, and then find an opportunity to devour him.
If he could devour a complete God like Kytheron, then he would have a very high chance of making himself whole and becoming a true God.
Kytheron looked at the harmless-looking Ego and chose not to act immediately. Instead, he decided to play along and see what clumsy tricks he would employ.
To watch this Joker show, Kytheron even concealed the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand.
After all, as an ancient and experienced figure, Ego should be very aware of the power of the infinity stones. If not hidden, he would definitely be extremely wary.
So, Kytheron also feigned surprise and shared a warm embrace with Ego.
"I also sensed the presence of a fellow God, which is why I specifically followed the aura to find you."
"I am truly honored to meet another God."
"Even if you hadn't invited us, we were planning to pay a visit to you, the Master of this Planet!"
Kytheron pretended to be a very humble, newly born God, with a touch of appropriate surprise on his face.
However, when he said "pay a visit," his tone noticeably deepened a little, but Ego was completely engrossed in how to make Kytheron stay here for a while and didn't pay much attention.
What he was thinking at this moment was that given enough time, he would surely find the right opportunity to devour Kytheron.
At that time, he would no longer have to scatter life seeds throughout the Universe!
Over countless years, every time he scattered life seeds, he had to wait a long time for the seeds to grow, and then slowly let the Raiders retrieve his descendants one by one for him to devour.
He was tired of this process because it was very inefficient; after all, not every descendant could inherit his God-like power.
One Kytheron was worth millions of years of his accumulation, so how could he not be tempted!
Jean watched Kytheron and Ego's performance from the side, feeling extremely awkward.
She was very clear about Kytheron's intentions; he definitely had no good intentions towards this God, but Ego's enthusiastic demeanor always made her feel something was off.
So, to alleviate her embarrassment, Jean had to desperately think of other things to distract herself, which resulted in her having an expressionless, 'do not approach' look on her face.
Kytheron, who had already seen through Jean's thoughts, simply treated Jean as his reticent attendant.
Under Ego's warm hospitality, Kytheron and Jean officially set foot on Ego.
If one were to judge this Planet by its appearance alone, it was only about the size of the Moon, with most of its surface covered by vegetation.
It seemed Ego took great care in maintaining his body.
"My Lord Ego, honored guests?"
At this moment, seeing Ego arrive with Kytheron and Jean, a woman with a human appearance but two antennae on her head respectfully stepped forward and bowed.
This was the only descendant Ego had not devoured over many years—Mantis—because she possessed powerful psychic abilities.
This ability could help Ego enter a sleep mode, and it was the existence of this value that spared her from the fate of being devoured.
And she was also the trump card Ego planned to use against Kytheron.
Ego was very clear about his child's abilities; even if he transformed into a Planet, if caught off guard, Mantis could completely hypnotize him within a few seconds.
From now on, what he needed to do was find every way to make Kytheron relax his guard, create an opportunity for her, and defeat the enemy with one strike at the critical moment.
As long as he could temporarily control Kytheron, he would have a way to implement his devouring plan.
As for Jean, she was completely disregarded by Ego, who only saw her as a common servant of Kytheron.
"Mantis, prepare immediately. Make sure to entertain our most esteemed guests who have traveled so far."
Ego commanded his daughter and servant.
"Yes, My Lord Ego!"
After receiving Ego's command, Mantis subtly glanced at Kytheron and Jean.
She was aware of everything Ego had done over the years, but because she had been indoctrinated with twisted ideologies since childhood, she had no concept of good or evil. So, in her eyes, Ego devouring his children was like eating and drinking, nothing special.
Now, she also regarded Kytheron and Jean as Ego's next meal!
Ego's words just now were a coded message; every living being that arrived on Ego had enjoyed this 'hospitality,' eventually turning into a pile of dry bones within the Planet.
"My kin, it seems you haven't been born for very long!"
After entering a place resembling a reception room, Ego began to converse with Kytheron.
"It's been over twenty years!"
Hearing Kytheron's words, the fire of jealousy in Ego's heart burned even brighter!
Why were they both of the God race, yet he was born incomplete, while someone like Kytheron possessed a complete body and powerful divine energy?
Although he already wished he could devour Kytheron immediately, the smile on Ego's face became even more benevolent!
