Aboard a spaceship.

"Terran?"

"Hey, isn't that your home planet?" A burly man with a thick beard asked Star-Lord, who was sitting next to him.

Star-Lord, dressed in a red leather jacket and black pants, his face showing a bit of stubble, paused at the name. He looked to be in his thirties and was taken aback.

"Earth?"

He was no stranger to how aliens referred to Earth as "Terran." If there were no surprises, this "Terran" should indeed mean Earth.

At this moment, the burly man, named Glenn, continued curiously, "Recently, there's been a rumor about two powerful beings appearing on your home planet."

"Wait, let me check... yeah, it says here..."

"Messiah, and the White-Clad Hero. One can destroy an entire city in an instant, and the other can easily erase a person's life..."

As Glenn read aloud, his voice trailed off, his eyes gradually widening in disbelief.

Clearly, even he found this rumor to be exaggerated and fake.

He was familiar with Earth because of Star-Lord and knew it was a weak civilization, one that hadn't even achieved interstellar travel yet...

And yet, rumors were now circulating that such powerful beings had appeared on this weak planet-one capable of destroying a city and another capable of wiping out lives with ease? Although the rumor didn't specify how these individuals accomplished such feats or the exact nature of their powers, Glenn refused to believe it.

Even Star-Lord, Peter Quill, was stunned by what he was hearing, finding the claim utterly shocking.

How could that be possible?

After his initial shock, Peter quickly regained his composure.

By this time, the other aliens aboard the ship had also turned their attention to Star-Lord, their eyes full of surprise.

Noticing their gazes, Star-Lord shrugged, understanding the situation, and casually said, "That's probably fake..."

"You all know that my home planet, Terran, is a weak planet. There's no way beings like that could exist there. This has to be just some ridiculous rumor."

Star-Lord couldn't believe that such powerful entities could appear on Earth. His memories from childhood, before he left the planet, and all the data he had gathered over the years told him that this rumor was absurd!

And just look at the descriptions-destroying a city in an instant, erasing lives at will?

Whoever spread this rumor must have been out of their mind, probably suffering from a mental illness.

And to think the rumor was about his weak home planet producing such godlike beings-it was laughable, something only a crazy person would believe.

Star-Lord scoffed at the whole notion, utterly dismissive. He wouldn't believe, even for a second, that his home planet housed such powerful figures!

The others aboard the ship burst into laughter at his words, clearly sharing the same thought and dismissing the rumor as nonsense.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that point, Glenn curiously asked Star-Lord, "It's been many years since you last visited your home planet, hasn't it?"

"How about we accompany you there one day, just to see what those rumored beings are all about..."

Though Glenn's words seemed serious, there was a teasing tone to them, and the rest of the crew erupted in laughter again.

Star-Lord could only shrug in helplessness.

As for going back to Earth...

Well, maybe someday he could return for a visit.

Beyond Star-Lord and his crew, other major forces, including the Kree and their Supreme Intelligence, had also caught wind of the rumor.

"Interesting."

"Who spread this rumor?" the leader of the Kree, the Supreme Intelligence, murmured.

At the moment, she appeared in the form of a middle-aged woman.

As the Kree's artificial intelligence, she represented the pinnacle of Kree wisdom, embodying all their knowledge in science, philosophy, and thought, ruling over the Kree Empire.

She was no stranger to planet C-53, which was Earth-home to that troublesome individual, Carol Danvers.

She still remembered Carol's rebellion against her from years ago.

And now, rumors were circulating that two immensely powerful beings had appeared on Earth?

The Supreme Intelligence found this hard to believe.

Regardless of whether the rumor was true or false, she believed it was necessary to send someone to investigate Earth.

If it turned out to be false, then there was no issue. But if it was true, she had plans for those two so-called powerful beings. She wanted to study their bodies, to understand the depth and origin of their power.

Aside from the Kree and the Supreme Intelligence, other major powers and ordinary aliens had also heard this wild rumor, turning their attention to planet Terran.

"Is this for real?"

"Can a lifeform truly possess that kind of power?"

Many were shocked but soon dismissed the rumor.

"Impossible!"

"It's fake. A civilization that weak couldn't have such powerful beings..."

"The claims are way too exaggerated. I almost believed it..."

"Who the hell started spreading this nonsense?"

Logic told them that the rumor was mostly false, and many chose not to believe it. But still,

they couldn't help but feel a little curious about Terran.

Their curiosity gnawed at them like a cat scratching, making them want to visit Terran and see

for themselves.

And this was exactly what Thanos wanted. Ideally, the Messiah and the White-Clad Hero would catch the attention of some major powers, who would then send forces to deal with

them.

Meanwhile, Thanos would sit back and reap the benefits.

...

As Thanos orchestrated his schemes and rumors spread across the stars, Syd Castell was standing under the sun, basking in its warmth, his attention fixed on his energy points.

[Energy Points: 22,665]

"These energy points... I wonder if I can unlock Balder's new abilities?"

Curious, Syd began channeling energy points into his unlocking progress.

Soon, the progress bar steadily climbed, reaching 56%, 58%, 60%.

At 60%, Syd's eyes lit up with anticipation, eager to discover his new ability.

Luckily, a notification sound chimed.

(Unlock Progress: 60%)

[Ability: God Speech (Unlocked)]

[Ability: God Speech (0/100) Level 1]

Syd blinked in surprise.

God Speech?

What kind of ability was that?

He was bewildered.

Furthermore, despite the notification, even though he had unlocked the ability, he didn't feel

any noticeable difference.

Puzzled, Syd decided to experiment.

Judging by the name, this ability likely had something to do with speech...
