Chapter 1162: Explanation

After Lin Rui’s response, except for Peter, who remained by Lin Rui’s side, the others in the c.o.c.kpit gradually dispersed. The threat was gone, and they would be able to return to Earth in an hour. This was a rare opportunity for everyone to experience the universe in a way they never had before.

Tony, Dr. Banner, and Hank, with Star-Lord’s permission, went to explore the Milano. The E Grade s.p.a.ceship, with the a.s.sistance of J.A.R.V.I.S and the super-powered warriors, didn’t require much concern.

After everyone else left the c.o.c.kpit, which was much larger than Milano’s c.o.c.kpit, there were only four people left.

Apart from Lin Rui and Peter, Star-Lord and Gamora stayed behind. Peter stayed to look after Lin Rui, while Star-Lord’s purpose was clear: he wanted to learn more about the mysterious man who claimed to be his father.

Gamora’s decision to stay undoubtedly revolved around her concern for Star-Lord, and it appeared that Star-Lord didn’t intend to keep anything from her, so he didn’t ask her to leave.

“Jackson, now that there’s no one else here, and the threat has been dealt with by those three… those three formidable individuals, don’t you think it’s time you told me about the guy who claims to be my father?” Seated in the captain’s seat in front of Lin Rui, Star-Lord’s gaze was fixed on Lin Rui, who hadn’t removed his Phantom Suit, as he asked.

Although Star-Lord didn’t know how Lin Rui had information about his clearly non-Earth father, he believed him since Lin Rui had demonstrated knowledge beyond the ordinary.

Hearing Star-Lord’s question, Lin Rui, who was also seated and taking a moment to recover, subtly flickered his eyes. Regarding Star-Lord’s father, he wasn’t sure whether he should tell the truth or keep certain things hidden.

After all, Star-Lord had lost his mother at a young age and had always yearned for a family. In the original storyline, Ego had appeared not long ago, and Star-Lord had fully trusted him, despite Gamora’s warnings.

“Star-Lord, first, let me ask you this: do you believe that person is truly your father?” Instead of immediately answering Star-Lord’s question, Lin Rui posed a question of his own.

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s counter-question, Star-Lord paused. Typically, when a person who had lost their loved ones at a young age and grown up in different circ.u.mstances encountered someone claiming to be their parent, their first response would be skepticism, not belief.

Star-Lord had grown up amidst deception and trickery in the world of s.p.a.ce pirates, so he shouldn’t be quick to believe someone who suddenly appeared.

“Well… I don’t really know… but ever since he showed up, I did feel a connection with him, something I’ve never felt before,” Star-Lord answered after a moment of hesitation.

The feeling Star-Lord described was actually a profound, instinctive connection at the level of life. He had sensed it when Ego first appeared before him, and it had been quite prominent.

Even after being transported away by the Ancient One, the connection had weakened but still persisted. This feeling left Star-Lord torn; it was a deep sense of familiarity that came from the depths of his heart.

In truth, from a young age, Star-Lord, who had lost his family and been taken in by the s.p.a.ce pirates led by Yondu, had always fantasized that the father he had never seen would be a great hero, destined to rescue him one day.

Just a while ago, someone who claimed to be his father had actually appeared, and he had rushed to protect them, just like a hero would.

So, deep down, Star-Lord truly believed that the person claiming to be Ego was his father. After all, a powerful and seemingly benevolent father like this was far better than an ordinary person on Earth.

“In that case… yes, Ego is indeed your father,” Lin Rui said with certainty upon hearing Star-Lord’s response.

As Lin Rui uttered these words, he distinctly sensed that the atmosphere had become heavier in the c.o.c.kpit. However, Star-Lord maintained his composure, showing little emotional change on his face. At the moment when Star-Lord’s breathing grew heavier, Gamora, who stood beside him, silently placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Do you know anything else about him? Like… where he comes from? Why he left my mother on Earth and never came back after my birth?” After a few seconds of silence, Star-Lord, who had stabilized his emotions, continued to inquire.

As he asked these questions, Star-Lord had already concluded that Ego was not from Earth. After all, the s.p.a.ceship Ego had arrived in clearly wasn’t of Earth’s origin.

Moreover, if Ego were from Earth, Ancient One and King Odin wouldn’t have been unfamiliar with him. However, the fact that he was a cross-planetary, intergalactic hybrid still left Star-Lord in disbelief.

“Where he comes from? I can’t answer that because I don’t know. As for why he left you and your mother on Earth and never came back, that’s a responsibility he failed as a father,” Lin Rui hesitated before answering Star-Lord’s follow-up question.

Although Lin Rui had only met Star-Lord briefly before, their interactions had been pleasant. Star-Lord also trusted Lin Rui. However, if Lin Rui were to reveal at this moment that Star-Lord’s father had come looking for him solely to absorb him back into himself as a source of energy for his planet, Star-Lord might think Lin Rui was joking.

Firstly, Lin Rui found it challenging to explain that Star-Lord’s father, Ego, was, in fact, a sentient planet that had existed for countless millennia with independent consciousness.

Secondly, he would have to clarify that Ego had been traveling the cosmos to impregnate various species with his offspring, hoping that they would eventually provide his planet with core energy.

If Lin Rui were to divulge all this information to Star-Lord, he believed that Star-Lord might not only find it hard to believe but might even think he was being deceived, damaging the relationship between him and his father even further.

Star-Lord had already indicated that he felt a strong connection to Ego, and Lin Rui believed that this connection had been affecting Star-Lord since Ego’s appearance, making him involuntarily trust and rely on Ego.

“In that case, do you know anything else about him? Like what kind of person he is?” Star-Lord continued to inquire when he didn’t receive a detailed answer.

“What kind of person he is… he might be a very selfish person.”
