The strongest black emperor in the United States, I can become stronger if I am beaten

"Who dares... to attack this Celestial? Seeking death..."

The land of Ego was blasted open, and a magnificent voice echoed out. Then, countless white tentacles burst from the ground, rapidly coiling towards Chen Guilin.

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

Chen Guilin threw a punch, instantly shattering the energy tentacles. This left him somewhat disappointed, but recalling how this guy was killed by Rocket's bomb in the movie, he knew that was about all he was capable of.

"No wonder they say Star-Lord has the body of a god but is comparable to a mortal. His old man's strength is truly lacking..." Chen Guilin muttered to himself.

He realized that Ego was relying on energy to control matter for attacks, and it was just ordinary dirt at that. The power was weak, the defense was low, and it was effortless to break several tentacles.

"Buzz."

Knowing Ego was a weakling, Chen Guilin couldn't muster any desire to fight. He activated the mental manipulation rune, and a powerful mental wave swept over, instantly taking control of Ego. All the tentacles ceased their movements.

"Whoosh!"

Subsequently, Chen Guilin descended from the sky, flying along the newly blasted hole. He quickly reached the core of the planet, where he saw a brain composed of white energy.

It's said that Ego isn't a true Celestial, but a pseudo-Celestial, completely incomparable to Celestials like Arishem. He looks massive, but his actual combat power is about the same as those of the Eternals.

However, Ego does possess Celestial attributes, with the ability to manipulate matter and energy. He can also create clones using energy, and these clones are indistinguishable from normal people.

It was one of these clones that came to Earth to pick up girls, which led to Star-Lord's mother becoming pregnant and eventually giving birth to Star-Lord.

"Sizzle."

Chen Guilin used his Mutant ability to create countless tentacles that pierced into Ego's brain. While absorbing Ego's energy, he quickly discovered Ego's unique nature.

"This Ego does possess Celestial blood, and he can store cosmic energy, but he lacks an energy core and Celestial runes. No wonder he's so weak..." Chen Guilin remarked speechlessly.

It turned out that Ego did indeed have Celestial blood and the same energy manipulation abilities as a Celestial, but he lacked an energy core and Celestial runes. This meant he couldn't draw on the energy of the Celestial universe to strengthen himself, resulting in his limited strength even after tens of thousands of years.

However, Ego did possess Celestial blood and could manipulate and store energy. After absorbing it, Chen Guilin would likely also gain the ability to store cosmic energy.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining Celestial blood. Do you want to fuse with the Celestial blood? After fusion, you will obtain a Celestial Cosmic Body...]

"Yes..."

"Buzz."

After absorbing Ego, the energy cores from the Eternals and the Ten Rings that Chen Guilin had previously absorbed began to transfer and fuse under the influence of the Celestial blood. They eventually moved to his heart. The blood from his heart was enhanced with cosmic energy, flowing through Chen Guilin's entire body and modifying every nerve.

At that moment, Chen Guilin felt his body undergo a kind of sublimation, becoming even more powerful than before. He could simultaneously use cosmic energy and light energy, and even his perception range expanded significantly, almost exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers.

His physical body became even stronger, and due to the energy-infused blood, he indirectly gained self-healing abilities even more terrifying than those of Deadpool and Wolverine.

In addition, he could freely call upon cosmic energy at the peak of the Skyfather level. Even the Binary state obtained through spatial origin modification could influence his Celestial Cosmic Body, allowing him to unleash combat power reaching the early stages of the Single Universe level.

"This is the Celestial Cosmic Body? Have I become a Celestial?" Chen Guilin asked in amazement, sensing his own state.

Although Chen Guilin could use cosmic energy before, he couldn't store it; he could only use Celestial runes to call upon it. Now, he could store cosmic energy and freely call upon it, a significant difference from before.

Unlike before, he could now also release Celestial runes when entering the Quantum Realm, but it would consume the cosmic energy within his body. Once used up, he wouldn't be able to use the Celestial runes, unlike before, where he couldn't use them at all after entering.

"It seems I need to go to Earth's core to study this..."

To study the changes in his own body, Chen Guilin once again used the power of space to leave Ego's planet.

After Chen Guilin left, Ego's planet, without Ego, became a dead star. The vegetation on the ground began to wither, leaving Mantis looking at the doomsday-like planet with endless horror.

However, she was lucky because the Ravagers happened to pass by. After seeing the state of Ego's planet, they originally wanted to scavenge, but they found her and eventually took her away from Ego's planet.

....

"Buzz."

On the other side, Chen Guilin directly used the power of space to enter the Earth's core. After seeing the infant Celestial Tiamut, he directly used hypnosis to make Tiamut continue to sleep.

Chen Guilin didn't directly absorb Tiamut. Instead, he inserted a tentacle to examine Tiamut's Celestial body, combining it with Ego's Celestial blood to observe the differences between the two.

"Hmm? This infant Celestial actually possesses Celestial inheritance, containing 10,086 Celestial runes. The Celestial blood seems even more noble. I'm tempted, should I grab some?" Chen Guilin discovered the Celestial inheritance and the more noble Celestial blood within the infant Celestial, and he was tempted.

"It's okay, as long as I don't drain it all, it won't die. At most, it will be malnourished and have congenital deficiencies. It's fine, here I go..."

"Sizzle."

Thus, Chen Guilin inserted more tentacles and began to invade the infant Celestial Tiamut, absorbing its Celestial inheritance, which included various Celestial runes, as well as the duties of a Celestial, how to create the universe, how to control energy, and various Celestial methods.

"No wonder Arishem values it so much. The Celestial blood is much nobler than Ego's. It turns out he was being cultivated as a universe creator. The energy core is so abundant, but unfortunately, it can't be moved yet, or it would attract Arishem. But without the Celestial inheritance, it won't be able to absorb the intelligent life on the surface and won't automatically awaken. Little brother, you just sleep slowly..." Chen Guilin said as he left the Earth's core and returned to the surface again.

After absorbing Tiamut's Celestial inheritance, Chen Guilin also mastered the method of creating universes and constructing galaxies, but his current available energy is limited. At most, he can only create a star the size of the moon with all his strength.

But it is worth mentioning that those Celestial inheritances include runes for interstellar travel, allowing him to achieve interstellar teleportation without relying on the power of the Space Stone.

In addition, he also possesses the manufacturing methods of the Eternals, the energy core construction method, the Celestial artifact refining methods, and Celestial rune production methods.
