Faced with the chaos beam tearing apart every inch of the void in its path, Ego acted as if he were facing his greatest enemy.
The entire Ego's Planet rose with dazzling energy light, forming a sturdy shield of radiance. But when the five-colored chaos beam collided with the light shield, the shield proved as fragile as paper and was destroyed in an instant.
"Impossible!" Ego's roar shattered countless mountains across Ego's Planet. He controlled the liquid energy on the planet's surface, transforming it into countless long spears that stabbed toward the beam like a torrential storm.
But the spears twisted into strange spirals the moment they approached the chaos and were ground to dust by the energy vortex.
None of his defensive methods had any effect, while the chaos beam continued to accelerate until, at last, it pierced through the layers of Ego's Planet like a blade of light.
Ego's true body trembled continuously, and the entire Celestial brain released intense energy fluctuations. He was frantically mobilizing core energy, trying to compress the surrounding minerals over his true body and reinforce them with energy to increase their toughness.
In the end, he expanded his body into a glowing giant mountain. The tough inorganic layer filled with energy was dozens of kilometers in diameter.
Yet before the blade of light, even an inorganic layer dozens of kilometers thick could not serve any purpose. In only an instant, the blade of light pierced through his true body.
Strangely, however, the blade of light that could pierce through everything did not cause him any physical harm.
But very soon, Ego's brain began beating rapidly, and the human face he had transformed into became twisted to the extreme. It was a terror that reached deep into the soul. At this moment, Ego felt no joy at all. Instead, he fell into despair as dark as an abyss.
Because he discovered that his consciousness was rapidly disappearing, being erased bit by bit by an invisible eraser.
The blade of light was not killing his body. It was killing his soul.
Harry's goal was not to kill him. It was his Celestial body!
"No!" Ego's scream carried energy like a stellar explosion, spreading rapidly in every direction.
If nothing unexpected happened, this scream would cover the entire star system, letting everyone know that a Celestial had fallen in this region of space not long ago.
A moment later, all of Ego's Planet fell silent. The chaotic energy flow gradually calmed. Ego seemed to have completely lost his life, and Ego's Planet became an ordinary planet.
The many mages on the floating city were not surprised by this scene. During their time serving as resident mages on the floating city, they had followed Harry and seen far too many strange things.
Killing a planet was not much compared to those things.
But the Guardians of the Galaxy were nowhere near as calm as the resident mages.
Rocket leaned over the railing at the edge of the floating city and looked down. The energy tentacles on Ego's Planet rapidly dispersed, leaving only countless pits behind, like scars covering the planet's surface.
He said in disbelief, "Holy shit, Harry is badass. He just killed a Celestial like that?"
Gamora also sighed. "Indeed. I have never seen such powerful strength before. I'm afraid even Thanos is far inferior to Harry."
At this point, Gamora's brow shifted slightly, and she exchanged a glance with Nebula beside her.
Although the two of them had not openly betrayed Thanos, they had stopped contacting him. After enough time passed, Thanos would certainly send an army to capture them both.
Now, an opportunity to completely escape Thanos's control had appeared before them. If they could obtain Harry's protection, then even Thanos would no longer matter.
However, after thinking for a moment, Gamora temporarily set the idea aside.
This matter needed to be considered carefully. She could not act recklessly and fail to achieve her goal of escaping Thanos's control, only to offend Harry, a powerhouse even stronger than Thanos.
Drax walked over beside Mantis. At this time, Mantis was staring down at Ego's Planet in a daze.
Although Drax was an idiot, he was very sensitive to changes in people's emotions. At that moment, he sensed the complicated feelings in Mantis's heart and advised her, "Don't care too much. Although Ego raised you, his only purpose was so he could sleep peacefully. Earlier, when Ego controlled those energy tentacles to attack us, he didn't hold back against you either.
"What you should do now is enjoy this hard-won freedom. Maybe you can join us and become a new member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. But if you don't want to, we'll take you to some safe planet and let you leave.
"Of course, I suggest you join us. After all, not every team would want an ugly thing like you."
Mantis simply acted as if she had not heard Drax's final sentence. With gratitude on her face, she looked at Harry as he walked out of the Sanctum, then at the Guardians of the Galaxy, and said without hesitation, "I am willing to join the Guardians of the Galaxy!"
Compared with his many relaxed friends, Star-Lord was far from calm. Although there was no longer any movement from Ego's Planet, he did not feel at ease.
Why? Because he could still sense the vast energy contained within Ego's Planet.
Without a doubt, Ego was not completely dead!
Star-Lord quickly walked up to Harry and said with a deep frown, "Harry, this isn't over yet. I can feel it. Ego isn't completely dead!"
To Star-Lord's surprise, Harry nodded as if this were only natural. "Of course. My attack just now wasn't aimed at killing Ego's flesh. It was aimed directly at his soul. Ego's soul is dead now, but his body is still alive."
Star-Lord was a little confused. "What do you want his body for?"
"A Celestial's body is an enormous fortune. Do you know Knowhere? That place is the severed head of a Celestial from ancient times. It has existed since the early days of the universe and crossed tens of millions of years.
"Later, Knowhere became a gathering place in the universe, with all kinds of alien races and factions operating there. The Tivan Group founded by the Collector also established its base inside.
"Most importantly, for hundreds of years, the Tivan Group carried out mining operations there, harvesting organic substances from the Celestial's head, such as bone, brain tissue, spinal fluid, and so on. These resources are extremely valuable on the galactic black market.
"A dead Celestial head alone allowed the Collector to possess wealth comparable to a nation's. That is even more true of a living Celestial brain!
"A living Celestial brain can continuously produce all kinds of organic substances. But that isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Celestial brain contains powerful energy and can serve as the floating city's main energy source.
"Of course, the living Celestial brain is also connected to you!"
"Connected to me?" Star-Lord thought of something and said excitedly, "Wait, are you saying I can still use the energy inside the Celestial brain and keep my immortality?"
"That's right." Harry nodded and confirmed Star-Lord's guess.
Now Star-Lord was completely excited.
For the safety of the entire universe and to avenge his mother, Star-Lord would rather give up his eternal Celestial body than allow Ego to live. But now that Ego's consciousness was dead, which was no different from being truly dead, and he could still retain his eternal Celestial body, there was simply no better outcome.
After learning that Ego was no longer a threat, Star-Lord excitedly ran toward Gamora and said happily, "Hahaha, Gamora, from now on, I'm a Celestial. Mm, an uncontrolled Celestial!"
Gamora pushed Star-Lord away in disgust as he acted like a husky, then came to Harry's side with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy and solemnly thanked him.
During this period, the Guardians of the Galaxy had already been saved by Harry twice. Harry could be said to be their greatest benefactor.
After chatting with Harry for a while, Wong walked out of the Sanctum and said to Harry, "Harry, the energy accumulated by the succubus system has reached the standard. We can take Ego's brain into the floating city and make it one of the floating city's main energy sources."
Harry nodded. "Then begin. After collecting the Celestial brain, I can reduce the number of times I go to Hell to hunt succubi. Mephisto is very wary of me now, so it has become difficult to extend my power into the Hell dimension."
The Guardians of the Galaxy, who had overheard their conversation from the side, were all baffled. Rocket Raccoon asked directly, "Wait, the succubus system? What is that?"
Harry naturally had no intention of hiding it. He explained the operating principles of the masterpiece he had personally designed to everyone.
"It is an energy system built with the Mind Stone as the core and countless succubi as filters. Through the Mind Stone, the succubi are influenced into entering an enchanted state, absorbing the Mind Stone's massive energy and steadily supplying it to the floating city. I call it the succubus system!
"However, this system is not without defects. If it is used during wartime, the succubi will 'break down' faster, and I still need to occasionally go to the Hell dimension to capture more succubi.
"But now things are better. With the Celestial brain as an energy source, I can reduce the burden the energy supply places on the succubus system. I imagine the usage period of each batch of succubi will increase greatly!"
The Guardians of the Galaxy all fell silent.
They suddenly discovered that the gentle, sunny Sorcerer Supreme in their impression had another side to him.
If they did not already know what kind of person Harry truly was, the Guardians of the Galaxy would only want to sigh:
"My God, what kind of person is this? He is more demonic than a demon!"
From this point alone, the Guardians of the Galaxy could judge Harry's reputation in Hell. It was probably even worse than Hell's reputation on Earth.
It was worth mentioning that their guess was correct. In Hell, Harry was known as the mysterious one who must not be named. According to legend, as long as someone spoke his name, they would be taken away. For succubi in particular, Harry's name had become taboo!
Harry was very dissatisfied with the Guardians of the Galaxy's words. What did that mean? He, Harry Potter, was a great hero renowned throughout the multiverse.
From the moment he began his career, he had always been on the path of fighting evil. Not only had he suppressed the arrogance of Dimensional Demon Gods such as Dormammu and Mephisto, he had also saved many planets plundered by evil forces.
What a friendly, loving person he was. Yet the Guardians of the Galaxy actually thought he was more demonic than a demon?
Was there no justice in the heavens?
Too lazy to bother with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Harry returned to the main control room of the floating city and linked his consciousness with it.
The next moment, under Harry's control, the three hundred and sixty obsidian spires at the bottom of the floating city turned at the same time.
The crystal sphere at the tip of each spire erupted with ghostly blue light, weaving a magic array several kilometers in diameter in the void. The runes flowing within the array actually formed a strange resonance with the Celestial brain at the core of Ego's Planet.
Rumble!
The entire planet began to tremble violently, and the liquid energy on its surface erupted like boiling molten iron.
Deep within Ego's Planet, the Celestial brain pulsing with golden light slowly floated upward under the pressure of the magic array. Its enormous volume began to shrink at a visible speed.
The energy veins at the bottom of the floating city were like awakened giant pythons, frantically swallowing and releasing magic from the succubus system.
When the Celestial brain shrank to the size of a house, the magic array suddenly contracted into a pillar of light, firmly locking it in place.
Countless golden chains shot out from the gaps in the floating city like greedy tentacles, tightly wrapping around the Celestial brain.
Amid a piercing grinding sound, the Celestial brain was slowly dragged into the hollow at the bottom of the floating city and fell into the core of the succubus system.
In the end, the Celestial brain that had once ruled the fate of an entire planet became a brilliant golden sphere, linking itself to the floating city and replacing the succubus system for fifty percent of the energy supply.
After the Celestial brain was removed, the energy sea on Ego's Planet rapidly calmed and quickly dimmed.
Then, because it had lost its core, Ego's Planet no longer had enough mass to maintain its current volume and began to break apart at a visible speed.
Ego's Planet, which had existed in the universe for millions of years, disappeared from deep space just like that.
After collecting Ego's Planet, Harry had nothing else to do in space.
He said goodbye to the Guardians of the Galaxy and watched as they left the floating city in their spaceship. Then Harry controlled the floating city to perform another spatial jump and returned to the Himalayas on Earth.
After returning to Earth, Harry spent a tender moment with Gwen and Wanda, then returned to work adjusting the floating city's energy supply system.
How to make the succubus system and the Celestial brain completely coexist without rejecting each other was a profound question, and even Harry would need some time to solve it.
For an entire month, Harry continued updating the floating city system. But one month later, the members of the Chat Group suddenly began mentioning him nonstop.
Sakura Haruno mentioned Harry Potter: Help, Harry! The Hidden Leaf Village is being attacked by a mysterious person! We're no match for him!
Lu Mingfei mentioned Harry Potter: Boss, help! Hurry and help Sakura!
Audrey mentioned Harry Potter: Boss, help! Hurry and help Sakura!
Nami mentioned Harry Potter: Boss, help! Hurry and help Sakura!
Harry Potter: What happened... Forget it, it doesn't matter. I'll go over right away. Don't panic. Wait a few seconds!
Sakura Haruno: Long live the boss!
Everyone else: Long live the boss!
Harry was currently analyzing a more efficient energy Runic matrix. Leaving might affect the establishment of the Runic matrix.
But this did not prevent Harry from going to the ninja world. He only needed to split off a portion of his power and possess Sakura Haruno to resolve everything happening in the ninja world!
So, in the next moment, with the help of the Runic matrix, Harry's consciousness once again crossed endless dimensions.
