If Ego were a fully developed Celestial, the abilities I would gain would be even more powerful, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron couldn't wait hundreds of millions of years to slowly hatch. Even if he could eventually become a stellar system-level god, capable of smashing the sun with one slap, that was still too much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, due to the characteristics of the Celestials, he can now swim in the core of a planet, absorbing its life force to strengthen himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he also possesses excellent psychic abilities and matter manipulation abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can absorb energy in different ways to allow his life level to grow to its complete form, and thus more quickly master the power of a complete Celestial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can create a sun with his bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought, he can mobilize the four fundamental forces of the universe for his own use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can master the power of cosmic rules and possess an indestructible dimensional armor, capable of withstanding stellar explosions with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the abilities Aaron obtained only allow him to master a weakened, malformed version of the Celestials's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Aaron, it was still a huge improvement. He felt his power had grown even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physical strength seemed to be inexhaustible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Celestial Power plus the supply from the Solar Core, Aaron didn't even know his own limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really want a hearty battle. The current me is terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron took a deep breath, and with a casual wave, the surrounding molecules gathered at his thought, and once again transformed into a celestial flower. But this was no longer Ego's parasitic seed, but his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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 turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, we're going back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norman tilted his head and glanced at the alien living plant, which was distinctly different from Earth's plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching it rapidly wither, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone else had done this, Norman would have shown them a capitalist's wrath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you hear? Demolish everything here, and burn all research data on the spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then everyone, go to the finance department and get your money, all bonuses doubled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norman was stationed there, ensuring all data was incinerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron trusted Norman completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Helen, who was reluctant to leave, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to study that plant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's go back. I have something similar here. As long as you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen's face suddenly turned red. After serious thought, for the sake of truth and great science, she decided to go for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia, standing nearby, remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything, but her plump black-stockinged legs felt a bit weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the distant Ego's Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ego awoke from a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My seed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mantis frantically released her hands from Ego's temple. She had never sensed such anger from Ego.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mantis asked, \"Did my ability fail?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ego shook his head, his face somewhat anxious. \"No, it's not your fault, you're excellent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ego rose and walked to the temple hall. With a wave of his right hand, a star map of the Milky Way Galaxy appeared before him. There were countless glowing points on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these light points were not stars or planets, but \"life planets\" he had deliberately marked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending hundreds of thousands, even millions of years creating a planet for his brain in his early years, he had always been in solitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That undying urge for his own kind, for life, drove him to explore the stars, searching for other life forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he encountered those life forms, his joy and excitement vanished, replaced by deep disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those life forms were too weak, too ignorant, too insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his magnificent self, their existence on the world was a waste of air, a waste of matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that moment on, Ego understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep-seated desire to find other life was not to transform into a human and wander among living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to create a world of equal, intelligent life, identical to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be himself, the entire world would be him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he travelled to different life planets, mating with women from one civilization after another, and then having descendants containing his genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped to have a descendant who inherited his Celestial genes. The two of them would work together to activate the Celestial seeds on those marked life planets, transforming each world into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thousands of years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He experienced disappointment after disappointment. His descendants were as foolish and fragile as ordinary life forms. So he ruthlessly executed them, their remains casually piled underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain of being unable to achieve his goal forced him to find Mantis and, with her empathy-modifying ability, help him alleviate this anxious pain and fall asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, he searched and saw a dead star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light tap of his index finger, he pulled it open and magnified it with both hands. Looking at the blue planet, Ego's face showed a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is… Meredith's world…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once deeply loved her, at least during that period, he loved only her, a true and absolute love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after Meredith became pregnant and gave birth to Peter Quill, he personally planted a brain tumor in her brain and left alone to find another true love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, he, as always, planted a seed on the planet, waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who destroyed my seed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his feelings for Meredith vanished, and anger filled his heart. Ego's bloodshot eyes fixed on this planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world that had given him a tiny bit of emotion, but would ultimately be ruthlessly erased by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rage resonated throughout the entire planet. This moon-sized sphere experienced violent tremors everywhere, as if in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the suddenly furious Ego, Mantis was at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her empathy ability allowed her to clearly sense Ego's current rage, like a volcano on the verge of erupting, harboring infinite power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ego took a deep breath, and everything returned to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, just some ignorant fools trying to hinder my plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ego didn't care about a mere avatar seed. If he wanted, he could create more seeds to parasitize other planets. But he could not tolerate anyone destroying his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether the other party acted intentionally, he had to figure out the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meredith, please forgive my rudeness. I must descend upon your world once again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how much I love you, avoiding it until now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ego waved his black cloak, and it billowed without a breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue chain of light broke through the surface and extended to his body, seemingly providing him with more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a huge oval spaceship slowly descended under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one can stop my plan, no one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>40 Advanced Chapters on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002Falex_1000\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-05T16:52:18.861Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c71bbab80a2ee7012f120f1dfc9f54149dc12c32cf8abbed73bd4a67d9845ef","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-146","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-47",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
