The three women and the raccoon didn't know what that guy was looking for in their spaceship.
But they weren't idiots to give it to him.
Also, in the minds of Gamora, Captain, and Rocket, Peter Quill's face appeared.
They had heard Peter's story that his father had disappeared before he was born and his mother once told him that his father came from the stars.
Also, when they visited Genosha, Alex was curious to know if the human body undergoes changes by being in space for a long time.
So he did tests on Peter Quill to find out, there they discovered that some of his genes were not human.
What they didn't know was that Alex was already aware of that, he just wanted them to know it too.
And now, looking at Ego's «human» form made that thought more evident.
Although that thought was strange, it was the only possibility since in the spaceship, apart from the crew and the weapons, there was nothing else that would attract the attention of a being like Ego.
"I see, so that's your answer? But it doesn't matter, as long as I capture you guys, I'll be able to negotiate with the ones on the spaceship" Ego said coldly noticing the defensive attitude of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"Hmph! Just you? You're not worthy" Hela replied looking contemptuously at Ego.
"Hahaha, then let's see how you surprise me" Ego laughed and at the end of his words, the entire planet began to tremble producing a great earthquake.
The ground beneath the quartet's feet broke and large spikes of earth protruded from it, intending to skewer the group, but they were quick to react.
Captain Marvel, taking to the skies, evaded them and with energy blasts destroyed them.
Gamora and Rocket also rose into the sky and shot at Ego's avatar, the latter did not flinch and a wall of earth appeared in front of him, protecting him.
However, seconds later, Ego was shocked when the wall in front of him collapsed and a black sword lopped off his head, killing him.
The culprit for that was Hela, who didn't dodge Ego's attack and decided to attack him head-on.
And even though she killed him, Hela didn't let her guard down.
Captain, Gamora and Rocket were the same, after all, his very name told them that he wasn't that simple.
The Living Planet.
That meant they had to destroy the planet, in order to completely kill him.
"Hahaha, I knew it wouldn't be easy to finish you off but it will be a good entertainment for me, after all it's always boring here" a voice echoed in the place.
Seconds later, Ego's avatar body rebuilt itself out of thin air, as if Hela's attack had never been executed.
"I have to say, this guy is really more skilled than a cockroach, when it comes to surviving" Captain Marvel commented.
"I don't know what a cockroach is, but I understand what you mean" Rocket agreed with Captain.
"Legion, search for the energy of this planet and give me a route" Gamora communicated with her Sentinel.
And although it is currently a suit, all of its functions are still active, furthermore, at this time it has not shown all of its abilities in that form.
"The energy of this planet is 2000 km below the surface, this is the fastest route to get to it" Legion replied without expression as it showed her a small holographic image of the route.
The path to that place is difficult, after all, it is Ego's «heart», so Gamora is not surprised to see that the route to that place is difficult to reach.
The fastest way is to go directly to it.
That is, destroy everything on the way.
"You guys take it very easy, then I'll show you that you shouldn't underestimate me" Ego said with a bored expression.
The place shakes again and the ground rises, creating different golems.
There are hundreds of them and half of them can fly.
"Die!" when Ego finished speaking, the golems charged at the three women and the raccoon.
"Damn! This guy has too many tricks" Rocket said as he used his energy weapons to attack the golems.
Each shot pulverizes the golems.
Captain Marvel is unfazed and also destroys them with great ease.
Gamora and Hela as well, those kinds of enemies are easy to defeat.
The only annoying thing is that they can be rebuilt very easily.
"We have to destroy his core, otherwise things will get complicated" Gamora said to the group as a part of her suit transformed into a vibranium sword, which she used to destroy a group of golems with great ease.
Captain Marvel and Rocket nodded in agreement.
Hela just smiled coldly as she enjoyed the battle, after all, that was something she always longed for.
Gamora's words were also heard by Ego and that made his face change.
He never expected that those people to know his weakness.
Ego's face showed no emotions but he was furious, and so he already decided that no matter how long it takes, none of those people can escape.
The number of golems increased drastically and the pressure on the group began to increase.
But at that moment, the Guardians' spaceship, which was piloted by Star-Lord, approached and mercilessly attacked the golems destroying them in large numbers.
Seeing the spaceship, Gamora's team backed away.
Ego created ground shields to avoid the shots.
//
Star-Lord was gritting his teeth as he manipulated the spaceship, so that Drax and Groot could shoot at the golems and Ego.
He had overheard Ego's conversation with Gamora's group through Legion and just like his friends, he had also come to the same conclusion, as for some reason, he felt a kind of closeness with that man.
His feelings right now were complicated.
But it won't be clear to him until he asks Yondu.
That bastard kidnapped him as a child and he always told him it was for trade, but Star-Lord always suspected there was something more to it.

Ego looked at the spaceship attacking him with a smile on his face.
Just as he was going to speak towards the spaceship, his expression changed to one of horror, as he sensed the arrival of someone uninvited.
Galactus!
