Man of Steel in the comic world

Star-Lord is deepening his father-son relationship with Ego.

Mantis receives Carl, Gamora and Nebula.

Mantis has been with Egg since he was a child and was raised as a pet by Egg.

She is a useful pet.

The mantis has a magical ability.She calls this ability "empathy."

Mantis, who grew up on Egg's own planet since he was a child, has never been in contact with other people. Even the children that Egg picked up before turned into this child after being confirmed by Egg that they had not inherited his divine power. Food for the planet.

Mantis longs for friends.

So when facing Karl and the others, she implicitly expressed her friendliness and shared her magical abilities with everyone, hoping to bring happiness to everyone.

So when everyone was curious about the antennae on her head, she told everyone seriously, "They are related to my ability to empathize."

"What is that?" Gamora asked.

"When I touch someone, I feel what they feel," Mantis explained.

"Can you read minds?" Nebula asked.

"No," Mantis corrected, "Telepathy is the perception of thoughts, and empathy is the perception of emotions." Mantis thought for a while and added, "Emotions."

"Is that okay?" Mantis stretched out her hand to the nebula closest to her.

Xingyun's face looked a little uncomfortable, but when he saw everyone's eyes focused on him, he still said, "Okay."

Mantis placed his hand on Nebula's.

The antennae on her forehead glowed slightly.Mantis felt it carefully, then raised his head and stared at Nebula, "Your heart was filled with hatred."

Nebula remained silent.

"But now, with a little love." Mantis couldn't help but smile. "It's romantic, grateful love."

"I love him!" Mantis pointed at Carl.

"No, you must be mistaken!" Xingyun withdrew his hand, "I am not the same person as them."

Gamora glanced at Nebula and said nothing.

Karl was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this cold girl, Nebula, would have a crush on him.

After thinking about it, he understood that for so many years, Nebula had been used by Thanos as an emotionless weapon. Only he treated her as a human being like everyone else. Maybe this had inadvertently opened the girl's heart. Atrium.

To be honest, Carl doesn't have any ulterior motives for Nebula, but he knows Nebula's tragic experience, and Nebula's nature is not extremely evil. She even became a member of the Avengers in the end, so he has always been friendly to Nebula.

He didn't expect that this would make him different in the girl's mind unconsciously.

The scene was a bit awkward, everyone was silent and didn't know what to say.

Mantis was a little at a loss. She didn't know why everyone was silent.

Karl felt that he should say something at this time, Nebula must be extremely embarrassed.

"Nebula, I know you are not bad in nature," Karl said, "You are a good girl. You can try to change your life. Let's talk about it, okay?"

With that said, Karl stood up and took Nebula's arm. "follow me."

Nebula struggled slightly, but she was unable to fight against Karl. She was taken out by Karl.

"Excuse me." Carl cast a slightly apologetic look at Gamora and Mantis in the room.

"I can also let you feel my ability." Mantis said, also wanting to reach out and touch Gamora.

Gamora grabbed Mantis's arm.

"Touch me and all you'll feel is a broken jaw."

. . . .

Mantis lowered his head in frustration.

She continued to tell Gamora about her abilities. "I can also slightly change people's moods."

"for example?"

"If I meet sad people, I can comfort them and give them temporary satisfaction. I can make stubborn people obedient." Mantis glanced at Gamora.

"But I mainly use my ability to help the master sleep. He thinks about his offspring at night and can't sleep." Mantis said.

"Really?" Gamora stared at Mantis.

Mantis was frightened by Gamora's stare, and maybe she was afraid of Gamora's cruelty just now. She said solemnly, "Yes."

On the lawn outside Yigo Hall.

Carl and Nebula sat side by side.

"Last time on the spaceship, I said bad things about you, but I didn't mean it." Nebula said.

"I know that." Carl said with a smile.

"On Kant Aksha, the words of thank you I said that night were sincere." Nebula said again.

"I know this too." Karl laughed in his heart, this is such a cute girl.

Xingyun lowered his head and stopped talking.

Karl played with the grass stalk in his hand and said to himself, "There is a girl who clearly writes everything in her heart on her face, but why does she sit there and refuse to raise her head and look at me?"

"Is she afraid? Is she afraid that if she speaks out her inner words, not only will she not get what she wants, but she will also lose what she already has?" Karl turned to look at Nebula.

"Xingyun, you are a good girl. Maybe others don't know you, but I can see that you are a strong, brave, and independent girl. I am not praising you, I am just talking about you in my eyes." Carl said.

"Do you really think so?" Nebula raised her head and looked at Karl.

"I wouldn't lie to a cute girl like you." Carl said with a smile.

Nebula laughed, "You look like a liar when you smile."

Carl laughed loudly, and he grabbed Nebula's hand, "But I am a liar that you like, right?"

Nebula let Karl grab her hand, and she said happily, "Originally, when I fell into your hands, I thought I was going to be sent to the Nova Corps' prison, but now? You will exchange me for a bounty. ?"

"No change, no matter how much money!" Karl pinched Nebula's face, "Now we are friends."

"I grew up with Gamora," Nebula told her story. "She's the only family I have."

"Thanos dug out my glasses, took out my brain, pulled my arms off and replaced them with machines, because I always lost to her," Nebula said. "She always wanted to win, she Not knowing that Thanos liked her and hated me, he turned part of my body into a machine in order to make me as powerful as my sister.”

"I hate him, and I want to give him back the pain he gave me bit by bit." Xingyun said bitterly.

"I know, Nebula, Thanos is the villain, I will go find him!" Carl held Nebula's hand.

"Don't dwell on the pain of the past. You can start a new life now. I will make Thanos pay back a hundredfold for everything he did to you! I promise."

I originally planned to be lazy for a day, but I was very touched when I saw so many book friends in the comment area who supported me, comforted me, and encouraged me.Of course, I still went to play games today, haha, but I coded a chapter in the evening, so I was able to catch the last train today.

Goodnight, everyone!
