[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

When Peter found Egg, he was carefully studying something similar to a star map, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

"Ah! Peter, you came just in time!" Egg waved Peter to stand in front of the star map, clicked on one of the planets, the planet was immediately enlarged, and various photos appeared next to it, including landscapes, buildings and more. There are residents and so on.

"What is this?" Peter looked at the picture in front of him curiously, temporarily suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and waited for Egg to explain the function of this thing to him.

Maybe it's just that he and Yi Ge haven't known each other long enough, so they didn't talk about more profound topics.If he could know more about Egg, maybe they could become close father and son.

"This is my footprint in the past. Look, when I first set foot on this planet, the residents on it hadn't developed village-level settlements yet." Yi Ge pointed to one of the photos, the residents on it It looks like a weird big headed doll.

"And the creatures here don't even have a systematic language. Their vocal organs haven't developed enough to organize detailed sound changes. They can only howl with three or four different pitches." Yi Ge clicked on another planet, The creature above looks like a giant slug, but it can open its mouth and scream.

Peter listened to Egg telling the story of his exploration in the universe. These "photos" were constantly changing with Ego's fingertips. Not only would the scenes inside change, the creatures in them would even make sounds or reproduce Egg's experience a past scene.

It is said that this is also one of the ways of using "Planet Light".After all, Egg is this planet, and it doesn't sound so unbelievable that the light of the planet reproduces certain moments according to his memory.

"Wait! I remember that this race no longer exists? Because of over-exploitation, the resources were exhausted, and finally the whole planet died." Peter occasionally exclaimed in the middle of the story.

"Most people think that it is because they over-exploited the planet's resources and caused the planet to die, but in fact it is because of alien parasites. Before finding an effective way to get rid of the parasites, the planet's resources were consumed to the point that it could not maintain the minimum surviving race Quantity." Egg would tell the inside story that not many people knew in such an understatement.

When this adventure story came to an end, the sky was already dark, but what Egg had just said was just a blink of an eye in his long life.

"Wow." Peter couldn't say anything other than admiration.

And Egg smiled like a proud father, who couldn't find North happily because the child admired his eyes.

"It's amazing!" The stories Peter listened to this afternoon have far surpassed the strange things in the universe that he has seen in his entire life. Well, maybe they are not as weird as the ghosts that travel through the universe, but in terms of quantity, the strange things that Egg has experienced Go more than him.

"That's right!" Eggy seemed to be complacent, "It's like your mother's favorite song—my lover, my wife, my wife, is the sea. This—is our sea."

Peter looked at the star map that gradually enlarged with Egg's hand gestures. They were all planets that Egg had set foot on in the past. There were so many, so many that Peter suspected that even if he went to one every day, he might not be able to go until the day he died. over.

Ego, who loves to explore new worlds like this, will definitely not object to him continuing to act with the Guardians of the Galaxy!

Maybe he could convince Egg to come together, and they could form a father-son team, just like Jason's family.

Peter was about to discuss the future of the escort with Egg, but Egg was already standing in the middle of the room and began to talk to himself: "It's like the sea calling the crew back, even though the crew loves the girls on the shore, But that’s not where he belongs—the sea calls for sailors, just like history calls for great people. Peter, you must know that the price of being extraordinary is that we cannot have the happiness of ordinary people.”

"But... I'm not a great man." Peter never felt that he had any greatness. He defeated Ronan and saved the galaxy?That's because he happened to know Ronan's intentions, and if the galaxy was destroyed by the infinite stones, Peter himself would not be able to live, which made him choose to fight against Ronan.The guards also catch those dangerous criminals because of the bounty, not out of the great ideal of maintaining the peace of the universe.

"No, Peter!" Egg resolutely shook his head and objected, "As long as you are connected to the light of the planet, death will never come to you and me. We are eternal and immortal beings, and we are destined to hold the reins and dominate the direction of the universe. big shot!"

"I'm immortal?" Peter had a hard time accepting this new racial trait, but judging from Egg's expression, he didn't seem to be saying casually, "Then what about my friends?"

If he is immortal, it means that one day he will send everyone he knows away, just like he watched his mother die.Whether in this universe or another universe.

He will truly be alone.

Egg seemed to have expected this kind of reaction from him, and with a long sigh he motioned for Peter to leave this room with him and come to the hall of the palace: "Peter, you have to adjust your view of the world. As far as our existence is concerned, everything is temporary, including your friends, the guards, and the girl you like. Everything is like floating clouds, and only we are eternal."

Peter didn't like Egg's tone, as if his friends and his career were some childish play.He couldn't create a planet, but he also tried his best to protect a planet—a planet with hundreds of millions of people.

Egg made it seem like those lives weren't worth mentioning because they were fleeting.

Peter's ear echoed the little devil's question to him not long ago: "If this man really loves your mother, why didn't he stay by her side instead of building a statue here?"

So in Ego's heart, mother is just a passer-by in eternal life?No, it wouldn't, why would he bother building a statue of Mom if she was just passing by?

"Isn't this very boring? There's only one person, and there's no one to talk to." Peter asked tentatively. Maybe the "passer-by" that Yi Ge refers to is not so close to him. Peter has met in the past. The long-lived race is indeed a slower type, but it doesn't mean that they don't need companions, lovers or families.

"Of course not! As long as there is pursuit in life, you will never be bored or lonely." Although Yi Ge was still smiling, Peter felt more and more that this smiling face was not as warm as before. "I didn't tell you before. After years of searching and finally finding life... I am completely disappointed."

Peter thought of what Egg had shown him, his past adventures—primitive and backward civilizations, self-defeating races.It seems kind of disappointing to have all the things Peter finds novel and interesting defined in this way.But who knows what those primitive civilizations have developed into now?Will there be different new species on the extinct planet?

Isn't the beauty of the universe that no one can completely dominate him, no matter who he is, he is free in this sea of ​​stars?

"I realized that my quest for life was not to be like them, but to lead! I call it the 'expansion project', boy, let me show you..."

Egg stretched out his hand to touch Peter's forehead, but was cut off by a black and red batarang (or was it a Robin dart?) just before he touched it.

"You fucking move him, and I'll cut your head off." Jason's hand maintained the posture of throwing the batarang, and the other hand held the gun.Damian wasn't by Jason's side, but Peter believed that the little devil ninja was definitely hiding somewhere, ready to attack.

There was no blood flowing out of Yi Ge's severed finger, but the blue skeleton like "planetary light" was exposed, and the flesh color quickly covered the blue light, and the finger was complete again.

"Where did you come from, you little bastard?" Egg gritted his teeth and stared at Jason who suddenly appeared.

Peter quickly stood between Jason and Egg: "Wait! He's my friend, don't hurt him!"

Egg looked at Peter with a look of hatred, pointed at Jason who was blocked by Peter, and shouted: "Look, this is your friend, vulgar and barbaric! Only violence can solve problems! We are the Celestials , Peter. We are far superior to such low animals."

Peter gasped, not because of Egg's hostile words, but also because of the imp ninja behind Egg and the glowing sword in his hand.Peter remembered the sword, which was the antenna through which the little devil and Jason communicated across the parallel earth, and it seemed to have a particularly powerful function.

That doesn't matter, what matters right now is that the sword sticks out from the very center of Egg's chest.

"Ah, you people on Earth are really disgusting." Egg looked down at the sword protruding from his chest, took two steps forward in annoyance and "pulled" himself out of the sword. (The blue wound has not healed, but glows unnaturally in place.)

"To each other, I think you are more disgusting, the old man who fantasizes about ruling the universe." Jason grabbed Peter and stepped back, the gun passed Peter's shoulder and never left Ego, "I don't know Peter's plan for you to conquer the universe What's the use, but this kind of cooperation is about your love and my willingness, not cheating."

"And you got one thing wrong, we earthlings are not inferior—" Damian wrinkled his nose and refuted Egg loudly, before he was rushed by Peter to continue, "Exactly! If earthlings are inferior Wait, what did my mother say? Didn't you say you loved her?"

As soon as Peter's mother was mentioned, Egg immediately showed a regrettable expression: "Of course I love her! Meredith, my little Lily. You don't know, I have returned to Earth to see her several times, she It was so beautiful, so good that I realized that if I continued to go back to her, I would give up this great plan for her - the meaning of my existence!"

When Ego talked about Peter's mother, the affection and struggle were completely from the heart, like a great man who was in a tug-of-war between love and career, until his next sigh completely reversed the impression of everyone present on him :

"Ah, my heart broke when I put the tumor in her brain!"

"What?" This was a question from Peter, Jason, and Damian.

Egg seemed to realize that he had talked too much, and raised his hands as if to salvage his slip of the tongue: "Okay, I know this sounds bad, but I promise—"

Peter raised his elemental gun and fired at Egg's body in bursts, punching countless holes in his body, exposing the blue skeleton underneath, and Jason's energy gun was responsible for turning Egg's head blue. In the end, Damian cut off his neck bone with a single knife, and the blue head rolled to the ground with a "boom".

"I told you that your head would be broken, why didn't you listen?" Jason stared at the remains of Egg, who was still standing there without his head, but with some staggering steps.

Damian stepped on Egg's head, put the knife on his shoulder and said like a bandit leader: "My lord brother is the descendant of the great Wayne and O'Gu family, even if you want to rule the entire universe, That should be a disgusting scum like you kneeling in front of us to declare loyalty, but even if a **** stallion planet like you who abandons his wife and son is given to us, we don't bother to accept it!"

Peter couldn't say what he was going to scold Egg severely. Before him, there was a devil who was countless times more cruel than him, and he was stomping on his father's head with his feet while scolding.

"Jason," Peter's voice trembled a little, "Are you sure your family is taking the heroic route? Because your brother just announced that he wants you to rule the universe..."

"I heard that, he is like this. His mother educated him with the principle of ruling the earth." Jason looked completely unsurprised, but Peter thought of the beautiful but vicious lady, and felt his heart tremble. .

Is this family really heroes?

Or is it actually the villainous Bat Party that controls the heroes to carry out evil causes?

Peter looked at his father who was still swearing at the separation of head and body, and felt that the trust between people no longer existed.
