Dominic stood within the energy tide of Ego's core, the surrounding light streams surging like raging waves, and the bursting energy fluctuations tore deep, unfathomable fissures in the ground. Ego's third form hovered in mid-air; his body was grander than the Planet's own terrain, and the pressure he emitted was enough to instantly suffocate ordinary beings. Each of his tentacles radiated a scorching light, like a God's punishment descending.
Ego roared, his massive palm swinging down violently, as if wanting to crush Dominic into dust. Each strike was laced with world-destroying energy, and the air was torn and warped by his fist wind. However, Dominic's figure was as agile as a wisp of illusion within the energy fluctuations; every attack was precisely dodged by him, and he even deliberately lingered for a moment at the instant Ego swung his fist, making the opponent even more furious.
Dominic's lips curved up, his eyes radiating a dangerous red light, "The name of a Celestial? Is this all you're capable of?"
Ego was enraged, a roar shaking the entire Planet. He summoned countless tentacles, surging towards Dominic from all directions like a hunter capturing prey. Each swing of a tentacle was accompanied by a sharp energy whistle, cutting through the air at a speed that was almost impossible to react to.
Dominic snorted lightly, his body trembled, and the air currents around him instantly exploded. He moved like a gale through the tentacles, each punch carrying unmatched power. When a tentacle swung at him, he grabbed it with one hand, pulled hard, and tore the entire tentacle in half. Another tentacle stabbed towards his chest; he gripped the tip of the tentacle with a backhand and flung it towards the distant ground, instantly blasting out a huge pit.
"A Celestial? You're just a self-righteous parasite." Dominic sneered, the red light in his eyes growing more intense. He leaped up abruptly, his fists clasped together, and smashed towards Ego's chest like a meteorite.
Ego raised his hands to block, Dominic's fists collided with his palms, erupting in a dazzling wave of energy, the shockwave directly tearing up a large section of the ground. Ego roared, sending Dominic staggering back a few steps, but before he could counterattack, Dominic had already reappeared in front of him, raising a leg and heavily kicking Ego's lower abdomen.
Ego's body trembled violently, his energy shield beginning to crack under Dominic's continuous attacks. Each of Dominic's punches carried irresistible power, shattering Ego's defenses bit by bit. Ego finally realized that his power seemed insignificant in front of Dominic.
"You cannot defeat me! I am a Celestial! I am the Planet's core!" Ego roared, the entire Planet beginning to shake violently, countless abysses cracking open on the surface, and flames and energy gushing out from the fissures.
"A Celestial?" Dominic sneered, "Today I'll show you what 'man can conquer nature' means."
Ego's core was completely exposed at this moment. He gathered all his energy in his chest, his entire body transforming into a scorching light. He charged towards Dominic, carrying a crazy momentum of wanting to perish together. Dominic did not flinch; he crossed his hands, the red light in his eyes growing more intense, a disdainful smile on his lips: "A pathetic farce."
He swung his fists violently, colliding head-on with Ego's energy. The entire Planet seemed to pause for a moment, followed by a deafening explosion, and Ego's energy instantly collapsed. His body was shattered, countless fragments of light scattered in the air, and his core also cracked at this moment, unleashing its final struggle.
"Is this what they call a God?" Dominic stood at the center of the explosion, his figure enveloped in light. He raised a hand, a stream of red energy condensing in his palm, pointing directly at Ego's core.
"You're just a joke attempting to play the creator." He murmured, the energy in his hand shooting out violently, directly hitting Ego's core.
The core instantly shattered, the entire Planet began to shake violently, countless massive fissures cracked open in the ground, and scorching magma gushed out. Ego's voice echoed in the air, filled with unwillingness and rage: "Dominic! You've destroyed everything!"
"I merely cleaned up the Universe's trash." Dominic turned and shot up into the sky. His figure appeared incredibly dazzling against the backdrop of flames and light, like a God traversing the heavens.
The light of the explosion swept across the entire Planet, leaving only a burning figure streaking across the sky in the void.
The aftermath of Ego's Planet explosion formed a violent energy storm in space. Shattered rocks and golden energy streams shot out in all directions like a meteor shower. The Planet's original magnificent outline completely disappeared, leaving only fragmented debris floating in the endless void. The Guardians of the Galaxy's ship was parked not far away; through the viewport, everyone watched the scene in silence.
"That was goddamn spectacular," Rocket finally broke the silence, his voice tinged with surprise and disbelief, "Too bad we didn't bring popcorn, this is basically a cosmic disaster movie scene."
Quill leaned back in the pilot's seat, rubbing his forehead, and muttered tiredly, "That was my Father's Planet, could you guys show a little respect?"
"Respect?" Gamora raised an eyebrow, her tone cold, "Quill, your Father almost turned you into a walking time bomb. His and his Planet's destruction is a blessing to the Universe."
"I was just saying," Quill waved his hand, his expression like a scolded child, "You guys don't know... I mean, I didn't know he was that powerful, that he could even turn into a Planet. I thought he was, at most, a stronger Thanos level."
"A stronger Thanos?" Rocket scoffed, a sarcastic curve lifting the corner of his mouth, "Quill, I bet you couldn't even beat one of Thanos's purple whiskers."
Drax nodded seriously: "Thanos is invincible. I once swore to kill him myself, but after watching your fight just now, I'm very glad I didn't rely on you."
Quill instantly bristled, turning to yell at Drax, "How can you say that? If it wasn't for me just now, you guys would have been swallowed by those messed-up tentacles!"
"Yeah," Rocket rolled his eyes, his tone full of mockery, "But in the end, Dominic saved all of us. If it wasn't for him, we might have been blown into cosmic trash."
"Wait a minute," Quill raised a hand, trying to turn the situation around, "Who's to say Dominic didn't help just because he thought it was too fun? Maybe he just wanted to see Ego lose even more miserably."
Mantis cautiously interjected: "Actually... Dominic's emotions were very complex. He didn't seem completely happy during the fight, but not completely angry either."
"Thanks for the psychological analysis, Mantis." Rocket waved his hand, cutting her off, "But what we should be focusing on is what to do next."
"Next?" Quill pointed towards the ship's window, his tone showing a bit of defiance, "Next, we celebrate, of course! After all, we took down an evil Celestial!"
"You took down?" Rocket burst out laughing, his voice full of sarcasm, "If you mean your clumsy dance moves scared Ego away, then I have to admit you won."
"Rocket, can you stop being so hurtful?" Gamora glared at Rocket, but her tone wasn't gentle either, "Dominic's power is stronger than anyone's, and you, Quill, had better stop being so clever."
Quill was about to retort when suddenly, a red light flashed on the main screen in the cockpit. The image on the screen clearly showed a familiar figure, with messy black hair and a nonchalant smile hanging on his lips.
"Are you guys having a party?" Dominic's voice came from the screen, a hint of playfulness in his tone, "Quite lively, aren't you? Didn't invite me?"
The entire cockpit fell silent instantly. A few seconds later, Quill, with a look of astonishment, lunged towards the screen: "Dominic?! How are you here?!"
"I just flew out of the ruins of your old man's Planet, saw your ship, and thought I'd say hello." Dominic's tone was casual, as if the intense battle just now was merely a stroll.
Rocket looked up, staring at the screen, and said coldly, "You really are omnipotent, flying through the sky and burrowing through the earth, nothing you can't do. By the way, are you planning to conquer the Universe next?"
"Conquer the Universe?" Dominic scoffed, his tone full of sarcasm, "I have no interest in managing you noisy idiots."
Gamora breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "At least he's willing to talk to us."
Drax added expressionlessly, "He is strong and deserves respect. But I still don't understand why he didn't just destroy Ego's Planet and end the fight from the beginning."
"Because that wouldn't have been interesting enough." Rocket put on an understanding expression, "Right, Dominic? You just like watching a show."
"Maybe." Dominic's lips curved into a meaningful smile, his gaze sweeping over everyone, "Though, I'm quite surprised none of you were blown up."
Mantis blinked and whispered, "Is that... concern?"
Quill slapped the screen hard, his voice containing a hidden laugh, "Concern, my foot! He just wants to make sure he still has a bunch of people to mock!"
Dominic merely smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, the red light in his eyes flickering on the screen for an instant.
