Chapter 1163: Return

The conversation between Star-Lord and Lin Rui continued for half an hour before coming to an end. In reality, Lin Rui had run out of things to say to Star-Lord towards the end.

However, Star-Lord was eager to learn more about Ego, the mysterious figure. Although Lin Rui hadnt provided many details, confirming that Ego was his father had sparked a mult.i.tude of thoughts in Star-Lords mind.

Lin Rui, who understood what Ego was and the purpose behind his arrival to rescue Star-Lord, had tried to subtly paint Ego as an irresponsible father during their conversation.

He did this to dissuade Star-Lord from getting too close to him. Perhaps, because of Lin Ruis words, Star-Lord had developed a resistance to Ego, which might prevent him from leaving with him.

Jackson, I think Ill head back now. The Milano still needs urgent repairs, and Rocket alone might not be able to handle it, Star-Lord said with less urgency after their conversation had concluded.

Well, go ahead. I believe Mr. Stark and the others will be of a.s.sistance, Lin Rui replied with a smile as Star-Lord prepared to leave.

Upon hearing Lin Ruis words, Star-Lord paused for a moment before departing with Gamora. After Star-Lord and Gamora left the c.o.c.kpit, Peter, who had been standing by Lin Ruis side the whole time, had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Jackson, um is there something wrong with this Ego? Just as Lin Ruis gaze s.h.i.+fted from the c.o.c.kpits pa.s.sageway to the vast cosmic expanse beyond the gla.s.s, Peter suddenly asked.

Star-Lord and Lin Rui werent extremely close, but Peter had known Lin Rui for a long time, and he knew his mysterious friend quite well. Based on Lin Ruis conversation with Star-Lord, Peter had a hunch that Lin Rui was withholding certain unfavorable information about Ego.

Upon hearing Peters inquiry, Lin Ruis expression remained unchanged. He wasnt surprised that Peter had detected his evasiveness during the conversation.

Peter, if I told you that Ego isnt actually human, how would you feel?

Peter: ?!?

Upon hearing Lin Ruis counter-question, Peter looked shocked and puzzled. What did he mean by not human? Ego was obviously an extraterrestrial, but extraterrestrials were still considered human, right? Moreover, Egos appearance wasnt that of a particularly strange alien, so why wouldnt he be considered human?

Never mind, I wont say anything more about this. After this is over, Star-Lord will have to make his own choices. All I can do is offer a reminder, Lin Rui said, shaking his head in response to Peters surprised expression.

Then, Lin Rui quietly sat back in his chair, gazing at the vast cosmic expanse outside the c.o.c.kpit. Unlike the skies on Earth, the universe here, free from Earths atmospheric interference, felt more real, with a breathtakingly close presence.

The universe its an endless expanse of stars, waiting for us to explore

After some time had pa.s.sed, the individuals who had left the c.o.c.kpit earlier began returning one by one. The members of the Guardians of the Galaxy had already returned to the Milano, and they were prepared to journey back to Earth along with the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

With the a.s.sistance of Tony, Dr. Banner, and Beast/Hank, Rocket managed to repair the Milano to a basic operational state in just one hour.

Rocket, the tech geek, was genuinely impressed by the technological prowess of the three scientific geniuses from Earth. In Rockets eyes, Tony and the others were true geniuses, and if they were in the cosmic environment, they would undoubtedly achieve great success.

After all, Tony had developed century-spanning technology on Earth, and he would surely s.h.i.+ne even brighter beyond Earths confines.

Hows the recovery going? Can we activate the Portal? Now that everyone from Earth had returned to the c.o.c.kpit, Tony looked at Lin Rui, who was still gazing at the universe and inquired.

Upon hearing Tonys question, Lin Rui, who had turned his gaze away from the c.o.c.kpits view of s.p.a.ce, blinked and then turned back.

Alright, its ready. Are you all prepared?

After Lin Ruis response, the other individuals in the c.o.c.kpit quickly found their seats and secured themselves firmly. Those who had experienced the Portal before knew the incredible speed at which the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p would erupt during the process. To minimize discomfort, they chose to secure themselves tightly.

Star-Lord, are you ready? This might be our only chance. With everyone on Earth prepared, Lin Rui initiated communication with the Milano, which had already flown to the rear of the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

Were ready. The Milanos engines are more advanced than your s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, and although damaged, they can still keep up with you. Dont worry, Star-Lords response quickly came through upon hearing Lin Ruis question.

Alright, be in sync. Lin Rui trusted Star-Lord and his Milano, so he replied and began preparations.

Subsequently, Lin Rui stood up from his chair. Although he had become quite skilled in using the Magic Cube, he couldnt create a Portal in front of him while sitting in the c.o.c.kpit. Therefore, he needed to go outside.

Im going out. After quickly donning his Iron Man suit, Lin Rui nodded to the people around him.

Be careful.

I will.

A minute later, Lin Rui, wearing his Iron Man suit once again, was floating in front of the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, holding the Magic Cube. Waves of subtle spatial energy emanated from the Magic Cube toward the outside. J.A.R.V.I.S had already adjusted the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps status to be ready to burst through the Portal at the fastest speed.

Earths coordinates location Suspended in the cosmos, Lin Rui carefully double-checked the cosmic coordinates of Earth.

Then, with a toss of his right hand, Lin Rui threw the Magic Cube into the air.

Boom!

A few seconds later, amidst a powerful surge of spatial energy, the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and the Milano turned into two differently colored beams of light, charging into the s.p.a.ce rift ahead. After both s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps had entered, the spatial rift quickly shrank and eventually disappeared.

With the E Grade s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and the Milano both gone from this part of the cosmos, only the small, pure white, oval-shaped s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p belonging to Ego remained. Because Star-Lord and the others couldnt detect the situation inside this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, they a.s.sumed that there were no other occupants and decided to leave it behind naturally.
