Egg organized his words: "About five million years ago, before I had the ability to condense my incarnation, I was infected with a virus.
In order to strengthen myself faster, I frantically captured and devoured everything that passed by me. I had a good appetite and could easily digest whatever I swallowed, whether it was metal or stone, until... I swallowed a special
Meteorite fragments.
There was a very unique organism on that meteorite fragment. I called it a virus. I tried my best to digest it, but the digestion speed was very slow. It was estimated that it would take at least a million years at the time.
Of course, even if it takes a million years, I can still afford it. The bad thing is that it has a strong parasitic ability. After devouring a lot of abilities in my body, it became stronger and broke through my immune system. Finally,
It invaded my brain and wanted to achieve symbiosis with my brain.
I had no choice but to voluntarily peel off part of the brain tissue, wrap it tightly with rocks, and eliminate the virus along with it from the body."
Little Lilith quickly continued: "So you suspect that the bodies of me and Big Lilith are actually the brain tissue you expelled?"
Egg nodded: "It's possible."
But Leo shook his head: "No!"
Because the system did not prompt that the task was completed!
But now that Egg is controlled by Leo with the Mind Stone, it is impossible to lie, so the results of Egg's careful analysis should also be somewhat credible.
Leo pondered for a few seconds and then said to Egg: "Cooperate with me and retrieve the part of your memory before and after you were infected with the virus. I will see for myself."
After saying that, Leo activated the soul gem, gathered the orange energy in his hand, and placed it on Egg's head.
In the Marvel world, memories are stored in the soul - otherwise those souls would not have memories at all!
Leo can use soul gems to easily retrieve other people's soul fragments, and then view other people's memories from a third-person perspective.
Egg didn't resist and cooperated with Leo to retrieve some relevant memories.
Leo looked at the soul energy materializing in front of his eyes, an orange light flashed in his eyes, and the picture suddenly changed.
This is a strange universe, a universe millions of years ago!
The background is a starry sky, with a lot of cosmic garbage gathered together, slowly rotating around the center, and the center is the core that surrounds Egg's brain.
"It turns out that Ego made his fortune from scratch by picking up trash!" Leo muttered silently, and finally grew up to be a god. It's such an inspiring story.
Because of Yi Ge's active assistance, the meteorite carrying the virus was marked red by Yi Ge, and Leo easily located it.
Leo controlled the soul gem, gradually narrowing his vision, and then his eyes suddenly condensed, and he was filled with surprise.
The rock was not big, and on the surface of the rock, there was black liquid that was squirming like a living thing.
Leo was surprised because he recognized this black liquid - it was indeed a parasite called venom!
As far as Leo knows, all the Venom symbiotes live together on the same planet, and some versions say they live together on a huge wandering meteorite.
But no matter which theory is used, there is evidence that venom can leave its parent star due to accidental factors and wander alone in the universe.
It's just that Leo didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in reality, and Ego would actually swallow a Venom wandering alone in the universe!
Sure enough, it is easy for those who pick up trash to find treasures...
But the venom did not become Egg's treasure, but was expelled by Egg as a virus that would invade the brain.
Thinking of this, Leo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered what Lilith said when he met Lilith for the first time.
She said: She often dreams and can occasionally remember some vague ancient memories. She remembers that she seems to come from a very big planet. There are many of her kind on the planet, and they are all friendly. In addition, she has another
A memory about her origin, that is, she came from a very large planet full of endless vitality, but there was only one of her kind there, and it was very unfriendly. Lilith was expelled.
Thinking back on it at this time, Leo suddenly thought: Could the current Lilith be a fusion of part of Egg's brain tissue and venom?
It's not the fusion of Venom parasitizing into Egg's form, but the fusion of Venom and Egg at the genetic level, becoming a unique individual life!
Leo thought carefully for a while and felt that this guess was very reliable and it was most likely the truth!
Thinking of this, Leo broke away from the state of checking memories through the soul and looked at Lilith: "I have made a guess about your origins. I will confirm it for you next time when I have a chance."
The so-called next chance is that the next time you ask Ancient One to borrow the time stone, you can trace it back to its origins and see the past and future of the venom that was accidentally swallowed by Ego.
In the past, Leo could only go back millions of years at a time through the Eye of Agamotto because the energy in his body could not support the huge consumption of the Eye of Agamotto.
But at this time, Leo has the other three Infinity Stones as his backing, with endless energy, and he can definitely find out Lilith's past.
Little Lilith nodded, as if letting Leo make the decision.
They used to be very concerned about their origins because they had been alone underground for millions of years. They were too lonely and missed their home and relatives very much.
But after they were influenced by Leo's mechanical power and regarded him as the closest person, and after being released by Leo and able to communicate with others, the pursuit of their own origins... was not so urgent anymore.
The search for the origin of Lilith has come to an end for the time being. Although the system task has not yet been completed, at least there are clear clues and the task is almost completed.
Leo called back those who had gone out to play, and everyone gathered in the hall.
Leo is preparing to leave Ego and return to Earth, but there are some things Leo needs to explain to Quill.
"Quil, I don't recommend that you rush into the universe right now. You stay on this planet and follow Egg to learn how to borrow the power of this planet." Leo said seriously, "You carry the god factor, you can
Completely control the energy of this planet. When the time comes, given the size of the universe, your strength will definitely be ranked in the first echelon!"
But Quill looked troubled and turned to look at Egg, with a look of constipation on his face.
Leo waved his hand, turning Ego's avatar into powder, and then looked at Quill: "I know what you are struggling with, Ego is your mother-killing enemy, and you want to kill him with your own hands, but now he is me
I'm a slave, you can't do it, can you?
But even though you can’t do anything, just hold your nose and admit that Egg can continue to live, but you don’t want to continue to stay on this planet, right?”
Quill shrugged and spread his hands.
You have finished speaking, and I have nothing left to say.
Leo smiled slightly and winked at Quill: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for your future. You stay here to familiarize yourself with the abilities of Ego Star. When the time is right, Ego Star will become
Star Quill."
Quill immediately understood what Leo meant, his eyes lit up, and then he burst into tears of gratitude to Leo.
Mr. Erwin is such a good man!
Thinking of this, Quill took advantage of the situation and made his original request again: "Mr. Erwin, I would like to apply to join the Marvel Legion again."
"When you turn Ego into Quill, I will formally consider your application."
After saying that, Leo raised his hand and opened a portal, taking the others back to Earth, leaving Mantis and Quill behind on Ego.
As for the Marvel spaceship... it had long been shrunk by Leo to the size of a toy airplane and stuffed into his storage belt.
Leo took the girls directly back to the Erwin Laboratory Building at the Marvel Base. After letting the girls do whatever they wanted, Leo walked to the storage room on the eighth floor of the Erwin Laboratory Building.
There is a fat cat lying there. Leo is going to give it a good try today and try to make it vomit out the Cosmic Cube!
