The Transporter Room.
Its scientific name is the Matter Transporter Room, and it's Enterprise's black technology, truly one of a kind.
It can disintegrate people into energy beams and then reassemble them at a preset destination. It's incredibly advanced, dark technology.
Hawke perfectly manifested the Enterprise, which naturally included this Transporter Room.
Inside a smart, futuristic circular room.
At the center was the transporter platform, composed of circular pads capable of transporting six people at once.
"enterprise."
"Sir."
After Hawke led Gwen onto the transporter platform and stood ready, and Gamora followed suit, he gave a direct command.
"Transport!"
"Understood."
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Accompanied by the Transporter Room's characteristic buzzing sound, the shimmering light points began to decompose, and the three people on the transporter platform instantly turned into light points.
The next second!
The light points converged and reassembled in the Fountain Garden on Planet Ego.
Gwen, having reappeared, instinctively raised her hands, looked at them, and then glanced at Hawke beside her.
"This transport feeling is truly magical."
"Want to try a few more times?"
Hawke smiled, looking at his wife, whose eyes were full of him, and suggested.
Gwen smiled and shook her head, saying, "Forget it," then looked around at the planetary scenery, which was different from Xandar.
Giant crystal clusters rose from the ground like a forest.
In the distance, a waterfall made of pure energy silently cascaded, merging into the shimmering river below.
As far as the eye could see, there were colorful plants and forests.
"It's so beautiful here."
"Our future Planet will be even more beautiful than this."
Hawke continued to speak with certainty to his wife, whose eyes were full of him.
Their eyes met.
Gwen looked at Hawke, whose eyes were full of her, with a brilliant smile.
"I know."
"…"
Gamora, who had been transported with the two but was ignored by them, felt goosebumps all over her body and an uneasy feeling.
I should be underground, not above ground.
Fortunately!
Just as Gamora didn't know whether to leave or speak, Ego's spaceship had already broken through the atmosphere and landed steadily on the nearby helipad.
Star-Lord saw Gamora, who had arrived before them, and ran over.
"Gamora, you guys…"
"Don't ask."
Gamora looked at Star-Lord descending, inwardly relieved, and quickly ran to his side, her face serious.
The elegant Ego walked out of the spaceship.
"Mrs. Phoenix, how is it? The scenery of my Planet must have made your trip worthwhile."
"Your Planet is beautiful, Mr. Ego."
"Thank you."
Ego very gracefully said thank you, then led everyone towards the equally unique palace not far away.
The interior of the palace was also magnificent.
One word.
Luxury!
Two words.
Extravagance.
"I don't even know where I came from."
"As long as I can remember, it was just me, shimmering and floating alone in the Universe…"
As Ego walked through one eggshell-style slideshow explanation after another, everyone, except Hawke and Gwen, learned that Ego was a God, and also learned the entire process of how Ego and Star-Lord's mother met, got to know each other, fell in love, and had their child.
Finally, Ego eagerly took Star-Lord to visit the statue he had built for Star-Lord's mother.
As for the others… the others didn't know, but Hawke, at least, first took Gwen to the Planet-themed room Ego had specially prepared for them.
Gwen stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance, and then, seemingly seeing something, called out to Hawke without turning her head.
Hawke walked over, hugged Gwen from behind, rested his chin on Gwen's shoulder, and then looked in the direction Gwen was gazing.
Upon seeing it.
He saw Star-Lord forming a 'Rasengan' with his hands in front of a crystal female statue, and Ego in front of Star-Lord, his expression excitedly difficult to conceal.
Ego was excited, which was normal.
After all, Ego, who had been sowing seeds throughout the Universe like Zeus, only had Star-Lord inherit his abilities.
This couldn't be called one in a thousand; this should be called one in a hundred thousand.
Hawke looked at this scene, and as if thinking of something, whispered in Gwen's ear.
"Don't worry."
"Hmm?"
Gwen, puzzled, glanced sideways at Hawke.
Hawke smiled and said, "Our children will be born Gods."
Gwen chuckled at his words.
"Shouldn't they be demigods?"
"What?"
"Their father might be a God, but their mother is a mortal, isn't she?"
"…"
Hawke listened to Gwen's words, looked at the crystal female statue Ego had created, and his heart stirred. He understood why Gwen had said that.
But… Hawke's lips curved upwards: "My dear, you don't still think you're a mortal, do you?"
Gwen, hearing this, turned in Hawke's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at Hawke with fluttering eyes.
"What do you mean? I'm not a mortal anymore?"
"Of course, if I am a God, you are my Goddess, Odin's Frigga, Zeus's Hera, and my Gwen!"
Hawke smiled brightly.
Gwen also smiled brightly.
"Frigga passed away, Hera's Zeus cheated constantly, Hawke, are you making a metaphor?"
"…"
Hawke's smile froze on his face.
Damn it!
Careless.
Gwen looked at Hawke's stiff expression, her smile growing even brighter, but the inner irritation also disappeared. She whispered, "Sorry, I was just thinking that Star-Lord's mother was given brain cancer by Ego, and now she's being deceived by Ego. I don't know if Star-Lord can see through Ego's plot."
Hawke heard this, his expression returned, and he hugged Gwen: "Don't worry, Ego will get what he deserves."
Thanos is just a name.
But Star-Lord is a true 'Thanos-dad'.
For his mother, he would rather choose not to be a demigod than kill the scumbag God father who wronged his mother.
In a word.
Star-Lord has guts!
Hawke's thoughts churned, feeling his wife, who might have become more sentimental due to pregnancy. He gazed deeply at Star-Lord in front of the statue in the distance, and suddenly, a thought popped into his mind, surfacing in his heart.
Perhaps… this time, a demigod could live up to the name?
Hawke raised an eyebrow.
The sun was setting.
Planet Ego was bathed in an orange-red glow.
Hawke stood on the balcony, quietly embracing his newlywed wife, Gwen.
Similarly.
In another room, Star-Lord, who had just understood his demigod identity and reconciled with his father, and who had seen Hawke and Gwen embracing as he passed by, also came to the balcony where Gamora was, attempting to embrace her.
But compared to the optimistic Star-Lord, Gamora, who had been raised by her adoptive father Thanos since childhood and had received various conspiracy trainings, was not optimistic.
Especially after discovering that she suddenly couldn't contact Rocket Raccoon, this feeling of unease grew even stronger.
First, Hawke, who traversed the Universe without any protection, and in just one move, annihilated a drone fleet from Sovereign.
Now, here came Ego, who claimed to be a God.
The former was still fine.
Although Gamora smelled a sour and cloying scent, and a strong unknown presence, on Hawke and Gwen, she didn't feel any malice, not even a faint trace of it.
But Ego… she didn't know why, but ever since she arrived on this Planet, her female intuition had sensed a strong unease.
So… while thinking about things, Gamora chose to accept Star-Lord's suddenly enthusiastic invitation to dance, while softly expressing her unease.
Then… "Earth, Earth is where I watched my mother die."
"No, it's just because life on Earth is real, and here, here is a dream."
"This is real. I'm only half human, remember?"
"I'm worried about your other half."
"Oh, I get it. You're jealous that my other half of blood comes from the God race."
"…"
Hawke and Gwen, who were on the balcony of their room, flirting and embracing with their eyes closed, enjoying their delayed honeymoon, both opened their eyes.
Hawke's expression was strange.
Gwen's ears perked up, and while listening intently to the argument between the man and woman from the nearby room, she whispered.
"Hawke, do you know what the biggest surprise of this Universe trip is?"
"No idea."
"The Universe also speaks English; that's the biggest surprise."
"Okay…"
"Shh!"
Gwen didn't wait for Hawke to speak, listening to the argument from the nearby room that was already winding down. She quickly shushed him, then concentrated on listening again.
Hawke, seeing this, shook his head and chuckled with a hint of helplessness.
If Gwen put even a fraction of her interest in gossip into her hearing, she would realize by now that her hearing had, in fact, far surpassed what a mortal should possess.
After all… their room was on the far left of the palace, while Star-Lord and Gamora's room was on the far right.
But!
Hawke looked at his wife, who was intently listening to the gossip, and had no intention of reminding her.
He wanted to see when Gwen would discover this for herself.
Soon.
Star-Lord and Gamora's argument ended with Star-Lord's "I finally found my family, why don't you understand?" and Gamora's calm, no longer explosive, "You already have family."
True heartbreak is never a big argument, but a calm tone.
So after Gamora said this, she turned and left the room, leaving Star-Lord alone.
Gwen, who had finished eavesdropping on the gossip, blinked, came back to her senses, looked at Hawke, and felt a little relieved.
"I'm glad we never argued about these things."
"When have we ever argued?"
Hawke smiled slightly, then looked at Gwen: "But do you know what we should do next?"
Gwen smiled brightly.
"You should get to work."
"Yes."
"Go on, I don't like this place. The sooner you go, the sooner you return."
"As you command, Mrs."
