Chapter 1213: Explanation
Lin Rui left with the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool through the Spatial Teleportation gate, paying little heed to how Weasel would handle the aftermath of the chaos in the bar.
On the side of the Eastern Hemisphere, he had already started actively contacting SHIELD and discussing the establishment of an Earth Federation. Lin Rui might have a busy schedule ahead of him. Therefore, he needed to take care of some matters while he had the time.
With Deadpool in tow, they arrived at the League of Defendersâ base from Margaretâs Sistersâ Bar. Drax and Rocket had already sobered up, while Deadpool was yet to ârevive.â
Superhumans and genetically enhanced lifeforms like them had bodies that couldnât be compared to ordinary peopleâs, so they would only get drunk if they actively tried to.
âJackson, Iâm sorry for the trouble.â Drax, after taking a look at Deadpool, who had resumed breathing, apologized with a buzzing voice.
Members of the Guardians of the Galaxy were, after all, outsiders, and they had to give face to the locals on Earth. After getting drunk earlier, Drax vaguely remembered that he might have sent several robust men flying. If those robust men decided to complain, Drax truly didnât know what to do.
Of course, Draxâs judgment was based on the social norms of higher civilizations in the universe, which didnât apply to Earth or Margaretâs Sistersâ Bar. In that bar, aside from possibly causing some trouble by killing someone, injuring someone badly wasnât a big deal.
âJackson, you took quite a drastic action; youâve even killed Deadpool! Although he can resurrectâŠâ After Drax apologized, Rocket muttered softly.
Rocket hadnât delivered any messages, and he hadnât participated in the chaotic brawl, so he didnât have much to worry about now. Moreover, he had an agreement with SHIELD, so even if he got into some trouble, it wouldnât be a big issue.
âThis was the most convenient way, and he canât die anyway. Well, Iâm not here to help you clean up the mess. Thatâs not the main issue. The main issue is that thereâs something important I need to tell you.â Lin Rui spoke seriously, paying no mind to Draxâs apology and Rocketâs muttering.
Hearing Lin Ruiâs words and seeing his serious expression, Rocket and Drax couldnât help but become much more serious. After all, the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy had been enjoying a rare vacation since they arrived on Earth.
Star-Lord and Gamora were traveling the world with Ego, Rocket, and Drax were hanging out all over New York, and Groot was experiencing life in a pristine forest. Of course, except for Star-Lord and Gamora, Rocket and Groot were under SHIELDâs surveillance.
Their vacation life was quite enjoyable, especially since this planet was Star-Lordâs homeworld, which made Rocket and the others even more relaxed. Therefore, when Lin Rui spoke so seriously, Rocket and Drax instantly became alert.
âWhatâs going on?â Rocket asked, his relaxed demeanor vanishing.
âItâs about Star-Lord. I know heâs currently traveling the world with his biological father, Ego, enjoying some rare family time. However, I need to remind youâŠâ
Lin Rui went on to explain Egoâs true identity, the reason he came to Earth to find Star-Lord, and what might happen to Star-Lord in the end. Although these events hadnât occurred yet, Lin Rui presented them as if they were already a reality.
After hearing Lin Ruiâs explanation, Rocket and Drax were shocked but not surprised by the situation. They chose not to question the truth of Lin Ruiâs words but to believe in Lin Rui, someone they had faced hardships with, over the sudden appearance of Ego.
âSo, what do we do now? Star-Lord has already been deceived by Ego, and Iâm afraid he wonât believe what youâve just told us,â Rocket anxiously inquired. đ ÎâŠÈźáĂs
Although Rocket had placed tracking devices on both Star-Lord and Gamora, he wasnât eavesdropping or monitoring their every move. However, since Star-Lord and Ego began their global journey, their communication had dwindled, and there had been no news from them in the past two days.
Rocket had been in contact with Gamora to get updates on their recent situation. The messages from Gamora indicated that Star-Lord and Ego were getting along exceptionally well, and Star-Lord had fully embraced Ego as his father.
It seemed like a significant change had occurred in him, although whether it was for better or worse was uncertain. Gamora expressed her concern.
âI know that Star-Lord wonât believe what I say, and he wonât believe what you guys say either. Thatâs why Iâm telling you this, hoping that you can help Star-Lord get through this crisis.â Understanding Rocket and Draxâs worries, Lin Rui continued.
âStar-Lordâs global journey should be ending soon, and Ego will then take Star-Lord away from Earth to his original home planet. I hope you will stay by Star-Lordâs side no matter what happens.
If, in the end, Star-Lord is ensnared by Ego and canât regain his senses, you can resort to a final optionâŠâ As he spoke, Lin Rui leaned closer to Rocketâs furry ear and whispered a couple of sentences.
Upon hearing Lin Ruiâs whispered words, Rocketâs previously worried expression turned into one of anger. It seemed like he had heard something infuriating.
âGood! Weâll stick with Star-Lord and make sure that Egoâs plan doesnât succeed!â Rocket clenched his tiny fists and earnestly promised.
âIâll protect Star-Lord too! If that Ego dares to do anything to Star-Lord, Iâll knock him into the next galaxy with one punch!â Although Drax didnât know what Lin Rui had whispered to Rocket, he was equally furious and shouted angrily.
After sharing this long-hidden information with Star-Lordâs teammates, Lin Rui felt a sense of relief. He didnât know if Rocket and Drax could change the course of future events upon learning this, but he had done what he needed to do.
After discussing this matter, Lin Rui exchanged some items from the System Shopping Center and handed them to Rocket. In the original storyline, the Guardians of the Galaxy didnât come to Earth and instead dispersed under the Sovereignâs attack, after which Star-Lord was saved by Ego.
Now, the Guardians of the Galaxy had used up all their ammunition in the confrontation with Dormammu, so even if Rocket and the others planned to go to Egoâs original planet to destroy it, they wouldnât have any energy cells left.
To help Rocket and his team combat Ego, Lin Rui gave them some small items, hoping they would be of assistance. If used correctly, these items might give Egoâs original planet a hard time.
Of course, this was under the assumption that the storyline didnât undergo significant changes. If the Guardians of the Galaxyâs storyline took a drastic turn, Lin Rui could only hope that Star-Lord and his team would have some good luck, especially in his absence.
