Chapter 335
Beneath Mantis, a deep fissure split open. The tentacle holding her was dragging her down into the abyss.
Quill quickly fired his Elemental Gun, severing the tentacle. Mantis clung desperately to the edge of the fissure, her legs dangling over the endless void below.
Quill shot toward her, trying to pull her up—but before he could reach her, several more tentacles emerged from behind, wrapping tightly around his legs.
In an instant, Quill was yanked upside down, left dangling helplessly in midair.
Chapter 336: Gwen Arrives
This is it. He was going to be trapped here forever.
Quill looked on in despair as the tentacles pulled him into the rift, with Mantis right beside him.
At that moment, Alan's voice suddenly rang in his ears—the communicator had reconnected.
"Quill, don't forget that the same blood as Ego flows through your veins. You also possess the power of the Celestials!"
Alan's words made Quill open his eyes again. He could feel a strange energy surging through him, as if he could do anything.
"Get out, now!"
A voice called out from above the rift—Gwen had arrived, albeit a little late. She shot out her webbing, pulling Mantis up to safety.
"Are you okay? I'll take Mantis to Ego's brain—you go install the bomb," Gwen said. She grabbed Mantis and headed toward the planet's core. Her movements were swift, her ears sharp—before the tentacles could even get close, she dodged them with ease, and with her webs, she bound them all together.
With Gwen's help, their operation moved much faster. Soon, they reached the planet's core.
A massive brain lay before them. As they arrived, Ego could no longer sit still—he manifested himself and appeared before them, blocking their way.
Gwen stepped in front of Mantis, shielding her.
"I'll deal with him. You hide."
Mantis hesitated, reluctant to leave Gwen alone, but seeing Gwen's confident expression reassured her. She quickly hid.
Gwen leapt nimbly into battle against Ego. He controlled the magma and all the materials deep within the planet to attack her. But with her symbiote-enhanced abilities, Gwen was unfazed by his power.
Mantis, hidden nearby, saw Quill quietly sneaking in. She carefully whispered into the communicator, "I see Quill. He made it inside."
Outside, Alan, who had been standing guard, perked up. Now that Quill and the others had reached Ego's brain, it was time for him to further distract Ego.
Standing before the living planet, Alan cracked his knuckles. He could unleash boundless power with his Titan Body, but that would be too boring. Instead, he glanced at his Green Lantern ring and materialized a giant gauntlet over his hand.
"I'm going to keep him busy. You guys plant the bomb."
With that, Alan threw a punch. The entire surface of the planet trembled violently as Ego was sent reeling from the blow. Deep within, Ego suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and momentarily froze.
Gwen glanced at him.
"Did Alan just teach him a lesson?"
She smirked and seized the opportunity to launch her own attack. Ego quickly recovered, but he was thrown into turmoil—Alan's strength outside was overwhelming, and even his Emperor armor might not withstand it. Meanwhile, inside, he had to deal with another absurdly strong opponent, an unrelenting woman.
For the first time in his countless years across the universe, Ego felt utterly lost. He had never encountered such bizarre beings before, and now they were all here, opposing him!
"You will all die here today!"
Furious, Ego roared, simultaneously controlling both the planet's surface and its core to battle Alan and Gwen.
Alan, however, was having the time of his life, throwing punch after punch. Ego was clearly struggling—his internal form was knocked to the ground from the sheer force of the blows.
Meanwhile, amid the chaos, Mantis finally reached Ego's brain. She placed both hands on it, sending a wave of drowsy energy into his mind.
Ego, who had been fighting with all his might, suddenly felt his consciousness blur. His body wavered—then, right on the spot, he collapsed into a deep sleep.
