Chapter 339: Luode cuts flesh to feed the ten tails, cultivating a super divine tree
"Well, buddy, you sure?" Tony Stark said, a bit speechless.
"Exactly, I'm sure. Come on! Give me a hard punch, preferably enough to make me angry." Bruce Banner said.
When his emotions are extremely excited and his heart races, he also turns into the Hulk; of course, when he's furious or in danger, he also transforms into the Hulk.
Moreover, over the past few years Bruce Banner has clearly felt that as the Hulk grows and time passes, the Hulk's appearance frequency keeps increasing; he can even transform anytime, anywhere.
As long as the Hulk wants to come out, Bruce Banner has no way to stop him.
Tony Stark sighed helplessly, then clenched his fist and punched Bruce Banner's nose.
With a bang, Bruce Banner stumbled back a few steps, his nose directly bleeding.
"Cough cough! My goodness! This feeling is simply simply awesome, right?"
"My goodness, I can feel the pain, I can also feel some anger, but I show no sign of transforming."
"I'm super excited, really excited." Bruce Banner said, jumping up and down on the spot.
"Alright! Alright! Buddy, I know, I understand your feelings, congratulations, you've finally gotten rid of that big guy, you're free." Tony Stark nodded, stepped forward and hugged Bruce Banner, then said.
Although the Avengers really need the Hulk's power, there's one thing Luode said that's right: some matters must be left for Bruce Banner to decide himself.
The Hulk has always been his nightmare, always his inner demon; this demon must be dealt with.
Earth's safety cannot be built on another person's pain.
"Congratulations, Doctor, you no longer need to worry about the Hulk!" Captain America stepped forward and patted Bruce Banner's shoulder, saying.
"Banner, you've finally achieved your goal." Black Widow also stepped forward and gave Bruce Banner a hug.
"Oh! Really, Natasha, when you hold me, I feel a different sensation; you, do you know? I, I haven't touched a woman for over ten years, really over ten years." Bruce Banner embraced the soft body in his arms, inhaled her fragrance, and said with a blissful expression.
During this period, he and Black Widow have been hot and heavy, sharing a special feeling.
Since breaking up with his girlfriend Betty, and since becoming the Hulk, he hasn't touched any woman, because touching a woman inevitably speeds up his heartbeat and makes him extremely excited.
The result of his excitement is that the green big guy runs out and causes a rampage; thus even on lonely nights he cannot vent his desires.
Remember back in 08, he secretly returned to his old school and secretly met Betty; they could have had a quiet night, but he couldn't get too excited, so he could only sleep in another room.
"If you want, come to my room tonight." Black Widow Natasha stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Banner's neck, and lowered her voice to his ear.
"Okay! Okay! I, I want to go to your place."
Natasha smiled and nodded, then lightly slapped Bruce Banner's butt with her hand.
"Mr. Luode, I want to confirm something with you again: are you sure the Hulk will never appear in my life again? He will never ruin my life again!" Bruce Banner once again came before Luode, took a deep breath, and asked.
He had felt this excitement several times before. Especially in 08, after injecting the antidote that Mr. Lan mentioned, he truly believed the Hulk had been eliminated.
But after a life-or-death crisis struck, the Hulk still came out and helped him defeat his opponent.
"In fact, you should have seen that the green big guy has been completely sealed by me inside this huge magical statue.
"If nothing unexpected happens, in the future he will no longer affect your life. I know what you're worried about, but believe me, everything is over; you no longer need to worry about the Hulk, the Hulk." Luode said.
So how should I use the Hulk? Now the Hulk is equivalent to a pure energy entity; I need to find a fleshly body for him.
Then, using the Hulk's blood, I could produce some powerful Hulks, or directly turn the green big guy into my own six-path avatar; these are all good options.
"I understand, thank you, thank you, Mr. Luode, I finally, finally can return to normal life; I no longer need to worry about that green big guy."
"You gotta be careful; don't one day decide to be a savior and go do some risky stuff.
Remember you're now a complete mortal, no longer have the Hulk's power, so never try to commit suicide to awaken the Hulk's power.
Also remember, absolutely do not inject your previous serum; otherwise, the Hulk's blood merging with your cells will rebirth a new Hulk." Luode said.
Actually, if Bruce Banner wanted, he could completely inject the Hulk's serum again; Iron Man has stored Hulk's blood in his hand.
Once these Hulk's blood is injected into Bruce Banner's body, it will combine with his cells and then rebirth a new Hulk Hulk.
However, this new Hulk is completely different from the previous one; it's equivalent to a newly born life.
The Hulk that Luode sealed, after years of growth, has developed intelligence, and its intelligence is not low either.
"I understand, Mr. Luode, thanks anyway."
"Alright, guys, let's throw a party! Let's throw a big party to celebrate our friend's imminent departure." Iron Man clapped his hands and said.
It's time to send off you extraterrestrial beings; please, folks, do me a favor and never come back to Earth! That night, a grand victory banquet was held in the Avengers Building, celebrating Ultron's defeat. Then they saw off Thor, Luode, and Blue Dragon Lady, among others, departing.
Next, the Avengers still have lots to do; although Ultron was destroyed, it produced some high-tech weapons and several bases that still need handling.
These things must not fall into others' hands; otherwise, the new technology Ultron developed would still be exploited by some ill-intentioned people, causing harm to Earth.
The next morning early, Thor intended to summon the rainbow bridge and return to Asgard.
"Thor! Tell Heimdall I'll give him a coordinate, and you let him send me there." Luode said.
"Luode, aren't you planning to return to Asgard now?" Thor Thor asked strangely.
"No! Wait a bit before returning to Asgard; I still have something to do. Tell Heimdall the coordinate, and let him use the rainbow bridge's power to send me there.
"You two temporarily return to Asgard first, at most three days; after I finish my business, I'll return to Asgard to find you, and then we'll leave this universe." Luode said.
"Got it! Anyway, you also have Asgard's spatial coordinates; even without the rainbow bridge, you can come over with your own power." Thor Thor nodded and immediately told Heimdall in the sky that coordinate.
Seven-colored light poured down from the sky, shining on Thor Thor, Blue Dragon Lady, and Luode; their figures instantly left Earth.
After confirming that Thor Thor, Luode, and others had left, Iron Man Tony Stark finally sighed in relief, and the whole person relaxed.
"Tony! What's wrong? You look exhausted." Captain America asked with concern.
"No, nothing, Rogers, thanks for your concern; I'm fine, I just relaxed after destroying Ultron." Iron Man Tony Stark smiled and said.
Luode and his talk, Tony Stark will keep it to himself, not mention it to anyone, but Iron Man won't forget either.
I need to develop a set of armor that can counter Luode, at least able to counter the power he's currently showing.
After a flash of light, Luode appeared on a planet with abundant vegetation; the planet only had rich plants but no signs of life residing. From Thanos's mind, Luode obtained many planetary coordinates, and this planet's coordinate was called Little Garden by Thanos.
This is a life-bearing planet Thanos inadvertently discovered while waging war across the universe; here no notable civilization was nurtured, only beautiful nature.
After arriving here, Luode nodded, very satisfied with the planet's environment; before leaving the Marvel world, the six Infinity Stones were in his hand, and the energy gathered from picking up the stones was also full.
Although only missing one Soul Stone, planting a Divine Tree and producing two Super Chakra Fruits should pose no big problem.
This small garden is very suitable for planting; this planet possesses vast natural aura and vitality.
Moreover, I also possess Infinity Stones to provide energy; Luode also wants to conduct an experiment, planting a Divine Tree on this planet without draining all of the planet's life force.
Luode first released a little Ten-Tails he had collected; this little Ten-Tails was obtained earlier from Otsutsuki Isshiki in the Naruto anime universe.
The one I cultivated with Aizelasi, Luode temporarily does not intend to use it; this is enough.
After the little Ten-Tails appeared, it immediately bared its fangs and brandished its claws, its huge mouth constantly biting, wanting to eat something.
"Don't be in a hurry, little guy; I've already prepared a very special meal for you."
Luode laughed, then took out the body of another Otsutsuki Isshiki that had been sealed, from his system space.
Besides that, Luode looked at one of his arms, took a deep breath, then drew his Demonic Energy Great Sword World Destroyer.
Then concentrate all the power he currently possesses—life force, demonic energy, spiritual energy, and overbearing spirit—onto the sword.
Then he gritted his teeth and swung at his own arm, directly chopping off one of his arms.
Intense pain surged; Luode gritted his teeth, his life force began to flow with the aid of spiritual energy, and soon a new arm grew out.
It was exactly the same as before, and Luode himself suffered no harm.
The only proof that Luode had been injured was the arm lying on the ground.
"Alright, looks feasible. Since you, Ten-Tails, want to eat me so badly, I'll give you a few pieces." Luode said with a smile.
The best flesh to feed the Ten-Tails, besides a complete Otsutsuki clan member, Luode also wanted to add some of his own flesh.
The fresher the flesh the Ten-Tails consumes, the stronger it becomes, and the Divine Tree it gives birth to will be that much more formidable.
Back in the Naruto world, Otsutsuki Kaguya and Isshiki both wanted to feed Luode to the Ten-Tails.
Therefore Luode was quite certain that his flesh would greatly help the Ten-Tails, although at that time his spiritual energy amount was not large.
But now he has consumed a super spiritual energy fruit, and the spiritual energy within him is richer than that of many Otsutsuki clan members.
Besides that, he also possesses strong life force and demonic energy; Luode wants to see what kind of spiritual energy fruit the Ten-Tails can give birth to.
Even if it consumes half of an Otsutsuki clan member's corpse, it can still give birth to a Divine Tree; so a complete Otsutsuki clan member plus his own limbs would definitely yield a better result than before.
"Master! Hurting you makes my heart ache immensely; please, please don't do this, especially using me to do this." Luode's World-Ender Greatsword in his hand spoke with a pained expression.
When Luode took it out, it thought an enemy had appeared and wanted to fight alongside its master! But unexpectedly, the master actually used it to self-harm! "Don't be nervous, World-Ender, I have strong vitality; as long as I'm not killed, my severed limbs can quickly regenerate, so don't worry."
"Next I'll use you to chop off my legs, then chop off another hand." Luode comforted his Huomizi.
There's no way; among Huomizi's creations, only the evil-energy giant sword World-Ender is sharp enough to harm my own flesh and cut through a complete weapon.
I can't just grab a spiked club and smash myself, can I? Or release Heries to burn myself.
I understand, Master! But hurting you still still makes me anguish!
Don't be sad; just think of it as helping your master! Let's continue.
Luode switched hands to grip the World-Ender, then poured the evil energy, life force, and chakra energy within himself.
All of it was injected into one arm, letting that arm's energy reach saturation, then with another strike he severed the other arm.
In less than a minute, Luode's severed arm regrew again; next, Luode cut off his own legs.
His legs were also filled with chakra, life force, and evil-energy power; after his legs were cut off, Luode's wounds began to heal rapidly, and then his legs regrew.
"Master, are you alright?"
"It's fine, just that my life energy consumption is a bit high; I'll be okay after a short rest." Luode wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
To obtain the most perfect chakra fruit, Luode went all out—who's as ruthless as me? He directly chopped off his own hands and feet to feed you.
After a few hours, Luode's life energy fully recovered, and then he began formally planting the Divine Tree.
Luode directly released the control over the little Ten-Tails; it immediately opened its bloody maw, devouring the Otsutsuki-style body on the ground as well as Luode's limbs.
It bit inside its mouth, making a crunching sound; after finishing what was in its mouth.
The Ten-Tails' eyes emitted an eerie light; its whole body began to swell, then transformed into a tree-like state, massive roots plunging deep into the planet's core, spreading toward the inner core, while the upper body began to grow wildly, continuously drawing the planet's energy.
Seeing this, Luode hastily took out three Infinity Stones, placed them beside the Divine Tree, then summoned his own Asura Path clone, gathering the power of four Infinity Stones.
He began letting the Infinity Stones supply energy to this Divine Tree, rather than absorbing the planet's energy.
The Little Garden planet's life energy is very strong, but planting the Divine Tree would still drain it directly, so we must use four Infinity Stones, especially the Reality Stone, to simulate its life energy and feed the Divine Tree.
At the same time, Luode took out a green crystal, began accelerating the planet's time; green temporal energy flowed across the planet. To avoid being trapped here for a millennium, Luode first flew up into midair, then silently waited.
The Little Garden planet was shrouded in green spatiotemporal force; the scene shifted rapidly, with the four seasons changing in just a second, then continuously transforming.
In just a short day, a millennium passed on the Little Garden planet, and the Divine Tree grew into a colossal being.
However, at this moment the Divine Tree was not fully mature; it had only ripened halfway, and the chakra fruit developing inside still needed energy and time.
It seems the chakra fruit I've conceived this time is even more formidable than last time; since that's the case, I'll give you ample time and energy to grow.
Luode once again mobilized the power of the Time Stone, accelerating the planet's time; meanwhile, the remaining four Infinity Stones continuously supplied energy to nurture the Divine Tree's growth.
At the very top of the Divine Tree, three huge flower buds sprouted, taking a full three thousand years; Luode's cultivated super Divine Tree finally matured.
Moreover, it bore a total of three fruits. (End of chapter)
