"Okay, I have to take care of something first. You stay here for a while. I have something important to tell you later." Ego was a little impatient. After waving his hand, his body quickly merged into the tree root wall and disappeared completely.
Deeply bored, Quill sat on a chair naturally woven from tree roots, playing with his newly awakened godly abilities.
"Interesting. I can not only control the roots of trees, but also feel every corner of this planet and can freely detect and control it." Quill took a deep breath and began to explore the cave. As soon as his mind penetrated ten meters underground, he was shocked.
Further underground, there is actually a mysterious man!
Quill thought about it, and imitated Ego. As the soil squirmed, he sank into the ground, fell ten meters, and finally sat down in the cave at the bottom.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Quill got up from the ground, holding his buttocks with both hands. He looked forward in pain, only to see a male savage who looked like a human trapped deep in a cave on the second floor underground!
The male savage's back was pressed tightly against the wall, his limbs and head were tightly entangled by tree roots. His whole body was as dry as firewood, his black hair and beard were unusually dense and lush, and he had obviously been trapped here for some time. His ragged clothes had turned from white to gray-black.
The savage remained asleep with his head tilted. What was even more surprising was that several tree roots had pierced into his heart, as if they were constantly sucking his blood for nourishment.
"Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?" Quill looked at the savage's face. His hair covered most of his face, but the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
Driven by curiosity, Quill couldn't help but move forward. When he got close, he reached out his hand to push aside the savage's hanging hair.
The moment Quill's hand touched the hair, the savage suddenly woke up and trembled all over. He opened his mouth and let out an angry growl, and the tough vines were stretched to the limit under the strength of his body.
Quill was startled and stepped back quickly, then he saw the savage instinctively raised his hands, and three sharp and cold steel claws emerged from his clenched fists!
"You are..." Quill's eyes widened, and he saw the other person's face clearly. It was a file photo that Kyle had shown him on the electronic screen.
Wolverine Logan!
Chapter 419: Battle with the Gods (Part 1)
Inside the cave on the ground floor of the Garden Palace.
"Are you Mr. Logan?" Quill couldn't help asking as he looked at the savage who was struggling madly.
But the savage was totally deaf to his voice. He was like a wounded beast that had lost its original human consciousness. He only kept roaring in anger and struggling hard with his hands with steel claws. The tough tree roots and vines left deep bloody marks on his body.
But the cage formed by tree roots and vines seemed to be tailor-made for the savage. With his weak body alone, there was no possibility of escaping.
"Mr. Logan, can you hear me?" Quill suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, do you remember Mr. Howard? He was the one who asked us to rescue you!"
Hearing the name Howard, the savage raised his head in vain, his bloodshot eyes staring at Quill in front of him, and he no longer roared angrily, only made faint growls and whimpers.
Seeing some reaction, Quill couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Then do you still remember Miss Lucy? She should have been left on this planet with you... Oh, and Mr. Kyle, do you still remember the name Kyle?"
When the Savage heard Lucy's name, his expression had calmed down a lot, and the madness and wildness in his body gradually dissipated. When he heard Kyle's name, the Savage's vicissitudes of life face froze for a moment, and then his body trembled violently again.
When Quill thought that the other party had lost his mind again, he saw the savage suddenly said hoarsely: "You... why... do you know that name?"
"You are indeed Mr. Logan." Quill took a deep breath and replied, "You don't know, Mr. Kyle, he went to the Galactic Alliance specifically to look for you. Later we met Mr. Howard, and from him, we learned that five years ago, you and Miss Lucy were left on this planet."
"Really, Master? He's here to see me?"
Logan muttered to himself, blood-red tears flowing from his dry and sunken eye sockets.
Quill comforted him, "Don't worry. He should come to this planet to rescue you soon."
"No! No!" Logan was irritated, his hair stood on end, and he said hastily and hoarsely: "Don't let him come here! Stop him, it's dangerous! It's very dangerous here!!"
"Uncle, you are in this state, and you still care about Mr. Kyle."
Quill spread his hands and said bluntly, "I can't do it. Let's not talk about whether I can dissuade Mr. Kyle. Just look at Mr. Kyle's overbearing temper. If he knew you were in this state, this planet would probably be ravaged by him."
"I'd better rescue you first."
Quill opened his palms, and as the power of the gods began to flow, the blue light illuminated the entire cave. The tree roots and vines that had been wrapped around Logan's body like iron chains began to slowly loosen up on both sides.
"Pah!"
Logan fell from the wall and half-knelt on the ground. Quill hurried forward to help him up.
His dry feet trembled slightly, and Logan stood up with great effort. He thanked Quill, "Thank you. I haven't asked you yet, who are you and why are you here?"
"I, I am..."
Before Quill could answer, he could hear the clear sound of footsteps behind him, which froze his words and expression. Logan's keen hearing had not diminished. Hearing the unusual sound, he and Quill looked behind, only to see Ego in a silver uniform, looking at them with a gloomy face.
"Ego!"
Logan was filled with endless anger and subconsciously stretched out his sharp claws. Quill was faster and blocked in front of him with a single step. He said to Ego, "He is my friend."
"Friend?" Igo said coldly, as if smiling, "Son, Quill. Do you know? Five years ago, he broke into my territory as an interstellar thug and killed countless kind native creatures!"
"Bah!" Logan put his hand on Quill's shoulder, spat out a mouthful of blood, then took a deep breath and reluctantly refuted: "You're talking nonsense! I, Logan, except for accidentally killing my original family, after being redeemed by the head of the Kyle family, until now, I have killed only the evildoers who deserved their punishment! And you, you treat all living things as nutrients for the planet - who is the executioner, everyone knows it in your heart!"
The two people each held their own opinions. Quill looked hesitant, as if he didn't know who to believe.
Ego looked at Quill quietly and said gently, "Quill. You have to understand that I am your family. The people on your side are thugs who want to invade our home planet."
Reaching forward his hand, Igo said kindly, "Come here, son. Stand by my side. From blood to identity, we are a family."
"Family..." Quill lowered his head and thought, then took a step forward. Ever since his mother on Earth died of a serious illness, he had been wandering in the Galactic Alliance for many years, and what he had been looking for was the warm word "family".
Seeing Quill about to walk towards Ego, Logan said hoarsely, "Quill, right? Don't believe that bastard's lies. Your mother Meredith was killed by this seemingly kind father in front of you!"
Igo's expression changed slightly, and Quill turned around suddenly, grabbed Logan's collar excitedly, and asked loudly: "What did you just say?"
Logan said hoarsely, "I said, your mother Meredith was killed by Ego. Ego came to the underground cave many times to show off his ambition and plan to devour the stars. He said that he deliberately planted a tumor in your mother twenty years ago, saying that the so-called love with humans was just to reproduce offspring who inherited the bloodline of the gods. After you were born, your mother was no longer needed."
"Your mother died of a tumor, right?"
After Logan finished speaking, Quill's face turned pale. He turned back to look at Ego, and his tone was extremely cold, "Is what he said true, Ego?"
Igo sighed softly and said helplessly: "In fact, I want to tell you slowly later."
"Why? Why did you do that?" Quill clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but the pain in his heart became even worse.
"Son, you will know later."
Igo stepped forward and said, "We, the Celestials, possess endless life and power. Your mother is just a lowly human. She can only live for a hundred years at best. She is totally incomparable to us."
"So you killed her?" Quill couldn't accept it. Looking at Ego walking forward, he held the laser pistol at his waist with both hands and said angrily: "Stop! Also, don't call me son, you don't deserve it!"
Igo stopped walking, the warmth on his face disappeared, replaced by emotionless indifference, "Forget it. I wanted to play the role of a loving father with you, but it seems that it is no longer necessary now."
"You bastard..." Quill quickly pulled out his double pistols, but before he could load them, Logan behind him exclaimed, "Be careful!" and pushed Quill hard.
Quill fell to the side and looked sideways, only to see that Logan's back was pierced by a green vine spike, which protruded from his chest, and scarlet blood dripped along the vine.
"I am here to suck all the blood of you, a savage human. In addition, Quill, the power of the gods in your body will also belong to me!"
