Chapter 204: Sargeras's Promise, Absorbing the Power Stone's Energy

It's impossible; Ego's true form is too huge, slightly larger than Diqiu's moon. Even if Luode built a dark gate, it wouldn't work—this thing reaching Azeroth would be captured by Azeroth's gravity and become a satellite.

So to bring him back to his own world, Luode must first open a spatial channel, then use the power of the Space Stone to transmit this planet over.

"You told me you've contacted that Space Stone power many times, and because of that contact, your own spatial ability has awakened a bit."

"Why sell yourself short? Actually your potential is far greater than that Space Stone; that so‑called Space Stone can't even cross other universes, but you can—you're far stronger than that Space Stone." Sargeras patted Luode's shoulder and said meaningfully.

"This kid still lacks confidence in his power; even if the Space Stone were stronger, it couldn't freely take people across the universe."

"But you're different! You can even go to other universes."

"The barrier the Titans set up to protect Azeroth is meaningless before you; you easily linked to the Twisting Void—don't you get it, kid?"

"\"Boss Sargeras, I understand what you mean; I've never doubted my spatial ability. I've been developing this power, and I can do many things I couldn't before."

"But sending a planet? I truly can't. If I could send a planet, I could bring your true form to this world." Luode shrugged, speechless.

"I understand the reasoning, but reasoning is reasoning, energy is energy."

"My spatial ability is indeed stronger than an Infinity Stone, but I lack that massive energy; I can't transmit a planet, and even exhausting all my energy might not suffice."

"If I could do it alone, I could transmit Sargeras's true form as well."

"So why should I suffer? Wouldn't it be better to just take the Space Stone?"

"Besides, Boss Sargeras and Azeroth are both here; you two can closely feel the Infinity Stone and absorb its energy again."

"Luode told Sargeras these problems."

"\"What you say makes sense; I thought you couldn't see your own power clearly, but it's just a matter of power level. Don't worry—when we return, I can give you another infusion of Order Energy. \"

"\"Let you master Order Arcane Energy, just like those Titan Guardians. \" Sargeras said.

"This time, if we can successfully bind that cosmic deity back, I can then study it properly."

"Luode helped so much; I must reward him, so I'll infuse him with Order Power. Hearing this, Luode's eyes lit up—Order Power, especially when infused personally by a Titan, is a huge benefit."

"With Order Energy, Luode can learn the spells from Karazhan's tomes and easily use all the magic recorded there."

"After all, mages of the Azeroth world; mere daily cultivation won't make you much stronger—only by receiving an energy infusion can you become stronger."

"For example, Jaina, after receiving part of the Guardians' power, went from a twenty‑something young mage to a top archmage of Azeroth, once surpassing Rhonin and Khadgar."

"For example, Medivh, after sleeping over a decade and receiving his mother's infusion of Guardian power, instantly became insanely powerful, the strongest mage."

"Gul'dan, after receiving Kil'jaeden's fel infusion, also instantly became insanely powerful, just like Kaido."

"Rather than slowly training by the book, painstakingly boosting strength, in the Azeroth world, directly receiving a high‑level energy infusion is the best way to improve power."

"That is a complete qualitative change."

"Azeroth is after all a Western fantasy world, not a xianxia one; everything relies on self‑cultivation, but even in a xianxia world there are similar methods."

"For instance, eating a flat peach is also a one‑step ascent! So taking shortcuts is still the most comfortable. Who would painstakingly cultivate? (Here we take a poll: readers want to see the author write a xianxia‑type world? Options: Chinese Paladin, abduct Mozun Chonglou as a thug, or use the Divine Tree Fruit from Chinese Paladin to infuse the protagonist's power, creating a new divine race and reshaping it for the protagonist.) \"Then thank you, Boss Sargeras. \"

"\"You're welcome! Moreover, we're now partners; you let me see hope in darkness and despair, hope to completely defeat the Void forces. \" Sargeras said.

"Actually some things go without saying; although Luode has only discovered two other universes so far."

"But since there can be those two other alternate‑space universes, there will surely be more universes in the future, or other worlds."

"Luode's potential can no longer be described as terrifying."

"\"Yeah! The Ancient One said not long ago New York saw a big battle, and the Space Stone is now placed in a place called Asgard, so we can go straight to Asgard. \" Luode said.

"Wanting to go to Asgard and take the Space Stone isn't that easy; Odin isn't a pushover."

"However, the movie‑universe Odin really hasn't shown anything too eye‑catching, despite bearing the title of a heavenly father."

"The only scene showing his true combat power is if, in that world, he faced Hela and the Ten Rings together—result: the old Odin got beaten up."

"But the combat power of that hypothetical world! Can't be taken as a reference standard."

"After all, Ultron obtained Vision's body; with just a Mind Stone under control, he could still one‑shot Thanos—and that Thanos wielded five Infinity Stones."

"\"Some things don't necessarily require war or forcible seizure; we can negotiate and borrow the Space Stone. \" Azeroth said.

"Why must everything be fighting? It's awful! If we can negotiate, shouldn't we discuss it together?"

"We're just borrowing the Space Stone; no need to go to war with them, right?"

"\"Cough cough! What you say makes sense; then let's take a trip to Asgard and see what attitude the God‑King Odin has. \" Luode said.

"Relying on my recent thoughts led me astray; actually, Odin's words can indeed be obtained via negotiation for usage rights."

"His lifespan is nearly at its end; his daughter can barely hold on any longer."

"We and Azeroth command the life force; if we could give Odin some extra lifespan, letting this old geezer borrow the Space Stone wouldn't be out of the question, and we could even get some Uru metal. Although Odin is a heavenly‑father‑level being, his lifespan is also limited by Asgardians—he can't be immortal, and even the comic‑book Odin has a lifespan limit."

"\"Yongdu! Your ship should have the cosmic coordinates for Asgard, right? \" Luode asked."

"If not, we'll have to return to Diqiu to find the Ancient One."

"\"That's the holy land of the whole universe; Odin once dominated the entire cosmos, so of course we have the coordinates there—but Asgardians aren't easy to talk to. \" Yongdu said.

"Nowadays young people might not know Odin's prestige, but these old timers still know a few things."

"Odin was once a downright tyrant, conqueror, and ruler; a thousand years ago, Odin and his daughter together conquered half the universe."

"This matter is recorded in the history logs of the Cosmic Scavengers."

"But frankly, compared to going to Asgard, he'd rather head to that mysterious buyer, quickly sell the Cosmic Spirit Ball for cash—but the boss has spoken, what else can he say?"

"Soon the group boarded the ship and set out again; in a private room, Azeroth controlled Tyrande's body, directly opened the Cosmic Spirit Ball, revealing the Power Stone inside."

"A purple light engulfed the whole ship; compared to other Infinity Stone energies, the stone's energy is the most violent—any ordinary lifeform that touches it will have its body shattered by that mighty force."

"\"What terrifying energy! Its power far exceeds that of the Space Stone and even the Time Stone. \" Gazing at the stone before them, Azeroth exclaimed admiringly.

"Just emanating this energy, a tiny bit can tear a mortal‑level lifeform to shreds, and it can easily destroy a planet."

"\"Alright, baby, absorb it quick! I've already given you three stones—hurry up and absorb! \" Luode said."

"When we get back to Diqiu, if time permits, we can also consider the Mind Stone—it's probably with Hydra; snatching Hydra's stuff, Luode won't be polite."

"Even a certain special existence, the Scarlet Witch, is over there; her power merely stems from the Mind Stone's activation, not a gift from the Mind Stone."

"As for the last Reality Stone, it should appear in about another year; then only the Soul Stone will be missing, and the six Infinity Stones' energy can be gathered for Ai Jiang."

The Scarlet Witch's chaotic magic even surpasses beings of the Heavenly Father level.

"Mm! After absorbing the gem's power, I'll give you a big surprise, how about that?" Aezelas spoke.

"Cough cough! What surprise!"

Could it be that Aezelas plans to use Tyrande's body to properly reward herself? Grandma Tai! Am I reluctantly accepting, happily accepting, or expressing it more tactfully?

"Once you fully master life and fel power, I can give you an infusion of shadow power—how about that, happy?" Aezelas said with a smile.

Sagelasi has already promised to give Luode an infusion of order power, so I too must show something.

"Cough cough! Is it? Is this the reward?" Luode showed a hint of disappointment.

"What? Why do you have such a disappointed look?"

"Nothing, hurry up and absorb the power gem's energy! After you finish absorbing it, I still need to take it to give to Sagelasi for research!" Luode said.

"Hmph! Forging six infinity gems belonging to our world, I'm more suited for this than Sagelasi." Aezelas said with a dissatisfied expression.

"But the problem is, you haven't even been born yet, dear." Luode said, rubbing Aezelas's head.

"Tch! Get out." Aezelas pursed her lips and glared at Luode with dissatisfaction.

"Don't mess around, I also want to fill your Emerald Dream Mark with some energy; you're currently a soul, so how much energy can you absorb?" Luode said, rubbing his nose,

"Come on! I, as a buddy, also had the idea of the power gem! The power gem's energy is one of the most domineering energies in the whole Marvel universe."

After a while of messing around, the two placed their palms on the power gem and began to absorb its energy.

Even though Luode's demigod-level body directly contacted the power gem and felt a stabbing pain, his demigod-level body still managed to resist the gem's erosion.

On the other side, Aezelas was much more relaxed; this time Aezelas had fully descended as a soul, so her soul could absorb a large amount of the power gem's energy.

The power gem was like an infinite source, continuously releasing purple energy, which Aezelas and Luode then absorbed.

After three full days, Aezelas's soul energy had reached saturation and could hold no more, while Luode's Emerald Dream Mark also stored a large amount of power gem energy.

Yet the power gem's energy showed no sign of weakening, still radiating a dazzling purple light.

After the two finished absorbing, the power gem was taken by Luode and handed over to Sagelasi; now it's Sagelasi's turn to study it.

Sagelasi finally made genuine contact with the first infinity stone, wrapping the purple stone in order power, then holding it in his hand and began to examine it carefully.

"Truly immense destructive power—this energy even surpasses fel power."

"Moreover, the structure of this infinity stone is truly amazing—it itself contains no energy, yet it can absorb the energy of the entire universe." Sagelasi said with a look of delight.

The six infinity stones represent the six great powers of this universe; after directly contacting an infinity stone, it gave him tremendous inspiration, and this special power combines extraordinarily well with fel! He can also absorb a bit of this energy and then go back to study it.

"Well then, Sagelasi, take your time researching; we should still fly for a few days, during which the power gem will be left for you to use." Luode said, waving his hand, and left Sagelasi's room.
