Chapter 247 - Star-Lord: I Specialize in Killing Dads

"Star-Lord killed that entire planet? I think the one who should be dead is Star-Lord!" Thor shook his head, completely skeptical. "That's a Celestial that's existed for millions of years!"

It wasn't just Thor—everyone present also doubted Star-Lord's chances.

After all, Ego wasn't just a person—he was a planet! Even if he just stood there waiting for Star-Lord to attack, nobody really knew how one could kill him.

Do they have to destroy the entire planet to succeed?

"You're right, that thing is indeed a Celestial, but don't forget—I'm a god too!" Star-Lord's voice rang out, emphasizing with some indignation. "I can even withstand the power of the Infinity Stones!"

"Sorry, Star-Lord, we honestly forgot about that!" Tony Stark said seriously, addressing Star-Lord.

This wasn't Tony intentionally mocking or belittling Star-Lord; he genuinely had forgotten!

After all, Star-Lord didn't exactly look like a god in any way.

Naturally, no one associated the word "god" with him.

But now that Star-Lord himself had pointed it out, everyone began thinking carefully. If Star-Lord is also a god, then the outcome could be different.

"That planet mentioned that Star-Lord inherited his Celestial genes, inheriting a connection with the 'Light.' Although we don't know what that Light is…"

Dr. Banner spoke under everyone's gaze, "Let's assume that in the future, Star-Lord is no longer 'on par with mortals,' but can use his godly powers, comparable to a god. Could he possibly defeat his biological father?"

In that case, it would be a battle between two gods—an outcome that's hard to predict.

Though Star-Lord is relatively young and Ego has existed for millions of years, his chances of victory may not be high, but defeating Ego becomes possible!

At least the gap between mortal and god has been crossed.

"Everyone, I just remembered a detail!"

Tony Stark's eyes suddenly glimmered, and he said, "In the future, Star-Lord might really defeat his biological father!"

"See, I told you!" Star-Lord slapped his thigh, full of swagger. "Don't underestimate me—I'm a legendary outlaw!"

"Stark, what detail did you remember?" Strange asked, curiosity piqued.

"The horned 'Mantis Lady,'" Tony Stark said emphatically.

Mantis Lady? Everyone suddenly remembered exactly who Tony meant, a bit surprised and slightly confused.

Everyone knew she was one of Star-Lord's companions and had appeared several times in quiz footage.

But honestly, her presence was low-key.

Not as prominent as Drax the Destroyer.

What does she have to do with Star-Lord defeating his father?

"Everyone, remember when Star-Lord and his team followed his father to his planet? Think about that footage," Tony continued. "That Mantis Lady was almost step-for-step behind Ego, silent the whole time."

"That woman wasn't one of Star-Lord's companions at the time, but someone from his father's side!" Captain America suddenly realized.

Indeed, when Ego took Star-Lord and the others on a tour of his planet, Mantis Lady stayed tightly by Ego's side.

Sometimes Star-Lord, Drax, and Gamora were together, while Ego walked ahead alone—Mantis Lady still followed Ego, not staying with Star-Lord's group.

That didn't seem like she was Star-Lord's companion.

"A maid! That woman is a maid!" Star-Lord remembered and said firmly. "Hands clasped at the chest—that's a maid's posture! A maid uses it to indicate her identity!"

"Star-Lord is right. On many planets, that's a common maid gesture," Thor nodded.

Now, Mantis Lady's identity was confirmed—she was Ego's maid.

"So Ego's maid later became Star-Lord's companion?" Strange was surprised. "Could it be that Star-Lord really killed his father in the future?"

"That's possible!" Dr. Banner nodded in agreement.

Of course, judging Ego's death solely from this isn't rigorous, but it does provide evidence.

It shows that Star-Lord killing Ego is indeed a possibility.

"Then let's assume Star-Lord really killed his father. But Loki did the same thing," Strange continued, raising the question. "So who really deserves the title 'Dad-Killer'?"

That was indeed a question.

If the discussion concluded that Star-Lord's chance of killing Ego was extremely low, the answer would naturally be Loki.

But now, Star-Lord also has a chance.

So between two people who killed their fathers, who truly deserves to be called the "Dad-Killer"?

"If it were me, I'd choose Loki," Dr. Banner said after thinking. "Loki definitely killed his father, but Star-Lord… that's just our inference. He might not have killed his father."

"Seems that's the only choice," Captain America agreed.

No one present objected.

So, the answer for now was Loki.

Dr. Banner and Strange, who had not yet answered, discussed briefly and decided that Dr. Banner would respond.

The term "Mutant Cell," literally, means "cells of a mutant."

Although what a mutant really is isn't clear, it's obviously not a normal human.

Otherwise, why call them a mutant?

What use is a non-human cell?

Neither Dr. Banner nor Strange were particularly interested.

But in this situation, Mutant Cells still had a small use for Banner as research material.

After all, Banner considered the Hulk a kind of monster, a disease.

So studying another type of abnormal human cell might help find a cure.

Thus, the task fell to Dr. Banner.

"I choose C, Loki!"

After deciding, Banner immediately gave his answer to the big screen.

[Answer Incorrect!]

The system feedback surprised Banner—he had answered incorrectly.

The answer wasn't Loki.

Thor, slightly surprised, couldn't help smiling.

Thank heavens, it wasn't Loki! "Dad-Killer" is a terrible nickname!

Thor didn't want his brother burdened with such a title.

[Answerer Bruce Banner will have his PhD in Physics revoked!]

In an instant, Banner, who had seven doctorates, lost one.

"Oh, NO!"

Banner groaned, embarrassed. The punishment hurt his pride—he valued these honors highly.

But he had no choice; he got the answer wrong.

"If the answer isn't Loki, then it must be Star-Lord. Looks like I'm answering this one," Strange sighed and gave his answer.

"I choose D, Star-Lord!"

[Answer Correct!]

The answer wasn't surprising. If it wasn't Loki, it had to be Star-Lord.

"Are you kidding me? The answer is really me?" Star-Lord's brow furrowed. He felt completely screwed.

Why do other nicknames sound cool, but his…?

First, godly mortal-level powers, now "Dad-Killer"? Can he ever play in peace?

Who wants such a terrible nickname?

[Congratulations to answerer Stephen Strange for receiving an improved Mutant Cell as a reward!]

A small transparent box appeared in Strange's hand.

Inside was a red "chunk of flesh."

"Wow!"

Tony Stark's brow furrowed. "This looks disgusting!"

"Definitely disgusting," Thor agreed, looking disgusted.

"What's worse, these cells are meant to be eaten."

Strange added, making everyone almost gag.

Eaten?

That's extreme. Only someone truly fearless could consume this.

"Raw. If you cook it, it loses its effect," Strange continued. Many felt nauseated.

"Still, consuming this Mutant Cell can enhance a person's strength, turning them into a super-soldier."

Originally, Mutant Cells would turn someone into a monster, but this improved version reduced the side effects.

"I won't eat it, anyone who wants it can take it," Strange said.

"Also, the enhancement works better on strong individuals than on ordinary ones."

Strange handed the small box to everyone.

Though it grants power, it's too disgusting to eat himself.

"No one wants it? Fine, Banner, it's yours."

Finally, Strange gave the Mutant Cell to Banner.

"Fine!"

Banner agreed, taking the Mutant Cell.

"I'll study whether the cell's mechanism can enhance humans without consuming it directly. If I find a way, I'll contact you, Strange."

Strange had no objections.

[Answering Complete, Starting Answer Analysis!]

[Peter Quill/Star-Lord personally killed his biological father Ego, indirectly caused the death of his adoptive father Yondu, and spent his life striving to kill his father-in-law Thanos, earning him the title 'Dad-Killer'.]

The system interrupted with a text explanation this time.

Everyone finally understood.

No wonder both Loki and Star-Lord killed their fathers, but only Star-Lord got the "Dad-Killer" title.

Star-Lord didn't just kill one father—biological, adoptive, father-in-law. Anyone related to "dad" was fair game.

Truly the "Dad-Killer"—a professional father-slayer.

[Starting Answer Analysis Playback!]

After the text, a video played on the big screen.

"What?"

The first shot was Star-Lord's shocked, disbelieving face.

The clip followed the moment after Star-Lord learned Ego had killed his mother.

"I know, I know this doesn't sound good…" Ego tried to explain killing his wife.

Star-Lord had no patience and pulled out his guns, firing frantically at Ego.
