Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 303: Chapter 303



As Ego's words fell, everyone-Star-Lord and his crew, and countless people worldwide listening through Rocket's transparent panel and broadcasting devices-were left stunned.

The Sovereign probes, which had just crossed the jump point to Earth, also caught Ego's statement.

"Are you referring to the universe's transformation?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Inside the Milano, Star-Lord's eyes widened in surprise.

Rocket and the others shared the same incredulous expressions.

The changes to the universe were well-known, even to those in distant star systems.

Though they couldn't discern what caused the change or precisely when it happened, they were aware of the sudden appearance of strange new phenomena and forces in the universe. Thus, Ego's mention of the changes didn't shock them too much-they were already aware. However, what stunned them, along with countless Earthlings, was the revelation that these changes didn't just affect Earth but the entire universe.

"What exactly happened back then?"

"Terrifying!"

"The more you think about it, the scarier it gets..."

Conversations reignited across the globe as people discussed this event, which they had somehow forgotten about.

"Wait, did he say the source of the power that changed the universe... is on Earth?"

Replaying Ego's words in their minds, many people were left bewildered and confused.

Unable to suppress his own curiosity, Star-Lord asked the question on everyone's minds. "The source is on Earth?"

"You've got to be joking," he said incredulously.

He couldn't believe it-no way was the source of a power that altered the universe on his ordinary home planet.

Earth was just so... normal. How could it possibly be that special?

Gamora, Rocket, and even the Sovereigns shared the same skeptical thoughts.

"I didn't sense wrong," Ego said confidently, sparing a glance at his son, Peter Quill. "That power-it's located here on Earth!"

Hearing his certainty, disbelief spread among his audience.

Sovereign

High Priestess Ayesha was utterly shocked.

"The universe changed... because of this tiny planet?"

Asgard

Odin furrowed his brows, casting his gaze toward Earth.

He had noticed the strange events on Earth back then, but by the time he focused his attention, it was over. He never learned the details, only that the anomalies indeed originated from Earth.

Kamar-Taj

The Ancient One, who had been quietly observing Ego's arrival, frowned slightly.

She knew Ego's words were true. The anomalies had occurred on Earth, and she had personally investigated when it happened.

At the time, she suspected it had something to do with the dimensional demon Kaecilius was communicating with, but she could never determine how such a being wielded such power... Elsewhere

Kaecilius and his followers exchanged glances, stunned.

They had witnessed the transformation of the universe with their own eyes, orchestrated by their revered demon lord.

Even now, they couldn't fathom how something so impossible had been achieved.

As shock rippled through everyone, Ego fixated on Syd, scrutinizing the red glow emanating from his hand.

"That red power in your hand... it feels familiar. It resembles the force that changed the universe."

Ego's eyes widened with realization. "Was it you who changed the universe?"

"If that's true..." Awe filled his voice. "This is an incredible power-unparalleled in its perfection and brilliance..."

As Ego marveled, Star-Lord and the others gawked at Syd in disbelief, their gazes fixated on the red glow in his hand.

The power to alter the universe... was it really the White Knight's doing?

"That's insane!"

Star-Lord was utterly floored.

"This guy's got to be joking, right?" Rocket blurted, wide-eyed.

Gamora's brow furrowed deeply.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury's face betrayed his disbelief.

There was no way the White Knight could possess such terrifying power.

Sovereign

High Priestess Ayesha and her people shared similar thoughts, refusing to believe it.

Kamar-Taj

The Ancient One felt a flicker of astonishment.

Kaecilius and his followers, however, were overwhelmed.

"The lord... is the White Knight?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Asgard

Odin was equally astounded.

Sokovia

Ultron shook his head.

If the White Knight were truly that powerful, he could have destroyed Ultron in an instant.

But judging by his current abilities, which seemed limited to a small radius, how could he possibly have influenced the entire universe?

Ultron refused to believe it.

Back on the scene, Syd frowned slightly at Ego's words but neither confirmed nor denied

them.

Ego, however, continued, his tone brimming with admiration.

"I've heard you can control light as well?"

"If Peter here weren't my son, carrying my Celestial genes, I might even suspect that you were

my child instead."

He marveled further, "Your power is magnificent-strong and perfectly aligned with mine."

Pausing briefly, Ego made his offer, his voice filled with anticipation.

"I formally invite you to join me and help me fulfill my great plan!"

Hearing this, Syd's frown deepened.

He was well aware of Ego's so-called plan-to turn every planet into an extension of his body.

Such a ridiculous notion was not something Syd would ever entertain.

Before he could refuse, Star-Lord interjected, yelling from the Milano.

"Wait a second, what did you just say?"

"Did I hear you wrong?"

"You said I'm your son?"

Star-Lord's expression was a mix of disbelief and awkwardness.

Rocket and the others wore similarly strange expressions.

"I thought Yondu was your dad," Drax muttered. Ego, his attention now back on Star-Lord, smiled warmly.

"Yes, after all these years, I've finally found you!"
