A figure emanating golden radiance appeared directly in front of the spaceship, as if physically steering it like a charioteer.
Simultaneously, the screen on the Holy Temple II lit up, displaying the opposing party's visage, accompanied by a powerful voice that resounded even through the vastness of Space:
"This ship looks familiar. Thanos, is it? I can sense Peter's presence aboard this vessel. If you've come specifically to return my child to me, you shall have my gratitude and friendship."
Ego's avatar appeared to be a benevolent elder, and his voice was calm and kind.
Yet within that calmness lay an undeniable air of overbearing superiority.
Even when faced with the Holy Temple II, a colossal spacecraft, and Thanos, the Cosmic Dominator who had wrought carnage upon countless civilizations, he maintained a commanding and unyielding demeanor.
Aboard the spaceship, Star Lord's heart stirred.
This really was his father?
And not only that—his father even knew his name?
