Chapter 185 Power Gem
Levi felt it was interesting: "Is Thanos nearby?"
Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, Supergiant and Black Dwarf are the Black Five.
They are the five powerful subordinates who were gradually conquered by Thanos during his conquests in the universe, and after many eliminations, they finally survived to the present.
Among them, the leader of the Five Obsidian Generals, General Corvus Glaive, has the strongest combat power. He also possesses a battle blade that houses his soul.
It is said that even if his body is destroyed, as long as this blade is still there, he can be resurrected again and again.
Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive are a couple. In addition to her super fighting ability, her magic spear was forged by Thanos himself. After throwing it out, it can split into three black rays, which are said to kill anyone hit by it.
Levi seriously suspected that both of them might be related to death-related abilities.
Ebony Maw, also nicknamed Black Tongue, comes from a special clan of "Whisperers". The strongest power of this race is never magic or other super powers, but language.
With words alone, they can manipulate others.
It is said that the Whisperers were originally exterminated by the Kree, and Ebony Maw was the only survivor. He was finally taken in by Thanos.
In the comics, Ebony Maw easily controlled Doctor Strange. In the movie universe, Ebony Maw has the additional power of telekinesis and can also defeat Doctor Strange.
Supergiant is a blue-skinned psychic who appears to have some Kree blood.
She can be understood as a weaker Professor X. She has mind control, telepathy, memory stealing, etc.
However, probably because his abilities seemed somewhat similar to Ebony Maw's, Supergiant did not appear in the movie universe. Levi did not expect to learn news about the other party when he first stepped into the universe.
As for the last Black Dwarf, he is the weakest of the Five Obsidian Generals. He is simply thick-skinned and tough, stupid and weak.
In the comics, he was actually beaten up by Black Panther in Wakanda, and then kicked out of the Black Order by Thanos, who felt very humiliated.
Later, he had his head blown up by a hammer by Ronan, the Kree Accuser. He was the kind of guy who boasted a lot, but in fact, his record was 0-5 and he could only bully the miscellaneous soldiers.
Of course, no matter how weak you are, super strength, super defense, self-healing ability, etc. are all the most basic configurations.
It may not be a big deal on Earth, but if he were on other ordinary planets, he would definitely be considered a BOSS, otherwise he would not be qualified to be selected into the Obsidian Five Generals.
Green shook her head: "No, it seems that Supergiant just wants to help Thanos recruit more cannon fodder troops to prepare for the next war or looting operation."
Maya added: "Whether it's the crimes they committed in the past or to prevent Thanos from gaining more power, it is necessary for us to annihilate them."
"But we didn't expect that they had recently stolen a batch of advanced engines and energy shields from somewhere. Thanks to your help, otherwise our mission would have ended in failure."
In fact, the actions of the Supergiant are not isolated cases. In fact, according to the investigation and summary of the Nova Corps, all of Thanos's subordinates come from three sources:
These pirates belong to both the second and third categories, some were conquered by him with force, hoping to get his protection, or were simply attracted by his tyrannical behavior and then voluntarily surrendered to him.
Levi became more and more interested. With the extraordinary charm from Amora and Magneto's helmet, unless it was the Mind Gem, he could basically completely ignore the conventional mental and psychological influences, which meant that he would be the superstar's fatal nemesis.
But if you can copy the opponent's abilities, it will definitely be of great help to you in obtaining the Nova Helmet next time!
"Do you have any more information about her? For example, where is she hiding now?"
The two rising star girls both shook their heads: "She has been hiding very deeply. We don't know her hiding place yet."
Due to the influence of emotional manipulation, they answered almost every question Levi asked, and many things that usually needed to be hidden or were inconvenient to say were all blurted out like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Thanos' name sounds very impressive, but in fact he is just a space pirate leader who doesn't even have a fixed base. He and his five black generals are wanted by many major forces."
"Usually, due to Thanos's madness and power, basically no one would actually go to capture him."
"But if there is a lone Black Order member staying out there and openly not hiding his whereabouts, the Nova Corps will not sit idly by. This is not only about justice or evil, but also about face."
Then Maya added: "Queen Adora has been trying to clip Thanos' wings. If you can kill Superstar or any of the Black Order, she will definitely be very interested in you."
Green beside her also nodded hurriedly: "The queen is at the age of marriage. Many ministers have urged her many times, but there has never been a man who is worthy of her."
"But if you are such a strong person, coupled with your appearance, maybe you can become the prince of the Nova Corps!"
Levi was somewhat disappointed, but it didn't matter. As long as Thanos tried to collect the Infinity Stones, he would try to invade the Earth sooner or later, and he would definitely have a chance to face Supergiant again in the future.
Now he is more interested in the Nova Queen.
Originally, he wanted to use his psychic abilities and Amora's extraordinary charm to directly deal with the Nova Queen.
However, mental control is doomed to not last long and has great hidden dangers. Once the other party realizes that they have been tricked, they will almost certainly turn from friend to enemy.
Now it seems that there may be a better solution!
Sif and the others were a little confused. No, even if Levi helped you once, are you so frank when you first met each other?
Should these words be spoken casually? How could they not know when they had become so familiar with each other!
The bionic bird had a numb look on its face. She didn't know why Levi chose to let her follow him.
But this space journey had only just begun for such a short time, and her self-confidence had already been almost reduced to zero.
She really couldn't imagine what she could do with her two skills in front of so many powerful people.
Within ., although Black Widow is recognized as the strongest female agent, she always holds a grudge in her heart. She has the idea and determination to surpass her.
But facing these people in front of her, she only felt despair and helplessness!
In fact, after they finished speaking, the two rising star girls somewhat regretted their impulsiveness.
Indeed, these things are almost an open secret in the Nova Corps, but they really shouldn't tell them to guests they meet for the first time.
I don’t know why, but when they saw Levi, they subconsciously let down all their guard and just wanted to talk to each other!
But soon under Levi's emotional manipulation, they subconsciously ignored this part and began to communicate with Sif and others very enthusiastically.
Despite this, Levi knew that this was still a small hidden danger.
These two girls know the abilities of the superstar, and they also know that they have telepathy. Sooner or later, they will realize the problem and suspect that they are secretly influenced by them.
But as long as he can win the heart of Queen Adora later, all this will no longer be a problem!
"Has anyone else been interested in Queen Adora lately?"
"There are many people, but most of them pose no threat to you. The only exception may be Arnold, a senior officer of the Kree Empire. It is said that he is expected to become a member of the Kree Accusers, but the Queen will never agree to it."
Levi thought about it carefully, but couldn't find anything special about this name in his memory. It should be just an ordinary extra.
And to be honest, with his current strength, ordinary accusers, except for Ronan, the Supreme Accuser holding the "Universal Weapon" hammer, have long posed no threat to him.
Besides, unless Queen Adora does something stupid, she will never choose a Kree.
If the Nova Corps represents justice and protection, the Kree Empire perfectly interprets what "conquest" means. The Kree Empire has always been conquering, and the fundamental reason why it fought with the Skrulls was that there was a conflict of interests between the two sides.
Moreover, unlike the Shi'ar Empire, which only needed to verbally agree to be the boss and then pay tribute regularly, the Kree Empire emphasized the need to have actual control over all the planets under its jurisdiction.
If she really married a future Kree accuser, how different would that be from voluntarily handing over the Nova Corps to the Kree Empire?
In comparison, as a strong man from a remote and backward Earth, I might be a better choice in a sense.
Even if you get married, you don't have to worry about affecting the future position of the Nova Corps.
The more Levi thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible. If Queen Adora took a fancy to him, what would it matter if he asked her for a few helmets?
The only problem now is that I might need to marry into the family myself.
Her and the Earth's reputation in the universe is far inferior to Asgard and Thor. As the Queen of Nova, she would definitely not choose to marry a remote little planet on the edge of the universe.
By the way, Levi asked about the abandoned planet - Morag.
He hadn't had any hope for this, but he didn't expect Maya to give him an unexpected surprise!
She raised her hand like an elementary school student: "I know. I happened to pass by there when I was chasing a group of space pirates last year."
"It's not particularly far from here. It will take about seven space jumps and then a distance of more than six million kilometers to reach it. It will take about two hours in total."
Then she was a little puzzled: "It's just that it's a barren planet that has been abandoned long ago and has no resources. What are you doing there?"
Levi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, I just heard that the environment there is quite special, so I wanted to go and take a look."
"Without further delay, Maya, we must change direction immediately and head to Morag!"
Once he gets the Power Stone, he will be invincible no matter what kind of enemy he faces, except for the five gods and the holders of other Infinity Stones.
The giant snake that worried Odin so much will no longer be a problem.
In comparison, what does it matter if I go to see the Rising Star Queen a little later?
As soon as the words came out, Maya and Glen were stunned. They had already notified the direction of Xandar and asked them to prepare for the reception. Even the queen might be alarmed.
Even though Levi was unknown before, he came with Thor's hammer in his hand and could be regarded as a messenger from Asgard.
Due to the reputation of God-King Odin and the relatively harmonious relationship between the two sides in the past, the Nova Corps will definitely give them a grand reception.
But now Levi wants to go to Morag first? That desolate planet that is not even marked on most interstellar maps?
Levi knew that they were full of doubts, and he was too lazy to explain too much.
He simply repeated his words again and used a little emotional amplification to dispel the doubts in their hearts and replace them with full trust.
So the two rising stars quickly agreed and provided the latest coordinates.
In the face of danger, we adjusted our course immediately and started heading towards the target.
The two new stars who were temporarily free continued to act as tour guides and began to introduce the scenery along the way to everyone.
However, Sif and others soon discovered that the focus of their attention on each planet was always the other party's resource reserves.
Without sufficient resources, even if the environment is good, it is of very low value in their eyes.
In a sense, this can roughly represent the thoughts of other Kree people and even most races in the universe. Resources are the most important.
Unlike humans on Earth, we haven’t even fully developed the ocean yet, so we don’t need to worry too much about this problem.
Two hours passed quickly and everyone arrived at their destination smoothly.
It's just that the planet's magnetic field is extremely unstable, there are erupting volcanoes everywhere, and the thin atmosphere is filled with lightning.
As for earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc., they occur in endlessly.
Many visions showed that this planet had reached the end of its life. "You stay here, I'll be back soon."
Halfway through the journey, Maya had already explained to Levi some information about the planet in some detail.
There once existed a relatively developed intelligent race here, but later due to a lack of resources, a civil war inevitably broke out and the planet was eventually destroyed by the war. The already barren planet became even less suitable for the survival of intelligent creatures.
But there were still survivors who left, and by coincidence, some of their intelligence was recorded by the Nova Corps.
For example, their scientific and technological knowledge and humanities and culture.
For example, the location of their temple.
Coincidentally, as far as Levi knows, the Cosmic Spirit Orb that carries the Power Stone is stored in an underground temple!
Naturally, Sif and the others would not have any objections. The two rising stars originally felt that if Levi went alone, it would seem that they were incompetent as guides.
But under the influence of emotional manipulation, they soon nodded in agreement.
And throughout the whole process, they had no doubts.
Levi has always avoided using direct mental control through violence. He only amplifies certain emotions that the other party already has, and has always specialized in concealment.
This means that even if the other party feels something is wrong afterwards, they will not be particularly disgusted. At most, they will think that they made the decision on impulse.
Because the purpose was very clear, Levi took the highest speed as soon as he arrived, and soon found a dilapidated underground temple among the collapsed mountains.
Even in such a harsh environment, there is still some life, which makes Levi feel a little surprised.
But facing Levi who was whizzing through the sky, they didn't even have time to react, let alone launch an attack.
The journey was smooth until he arrived at a huge metal gate about seven or eight meters high.
There was a special combination lock on the door, but Levi was too lazy to crack it. He just looked through the crack in the door and punched it. The door, which weighed who knows how many tons, flew out.
Then he saw a cosmic spirit ball suspended in the shrine by an anti-gravity device.
With a single move of his hand, the cosmic spirit ball broke through the constraints of electromagnetic force and flew into Levi's palm.
It was so easy to get it that Levi felt it was a little unbelievable.
But this is not the end yet. Taking a deep breath, he unscrewed the Cosmic Spirit Orb with a slight tremor.
There was a slight hindrance, but of course it was impossible to stop his current strength.
Soon, a gem that was flickering with a faint purple light appeared in front of him.
Without even reaching out his hand, Levi felt the boundless power, and he was immediately certain that this must be the famous power gem!
Should I go to Odin's treasury to get the Infinity Gauntlet and use it with its power, or should I try it myself now?
Without any hesitation, Levi chose the latter.
Ronan can use the Kree artifact - the universal weapon Warhammer to unleash some of the power of the Power Stone. Star-Lord and others working together are enough to temporarily activate its power. There is no reason why he, who is stronger than Thor, cannot use it!
Following the gentle touch, the next moment, Levi felt energy so abundant that it was almost indescribable, beginning to flow into his body frantically.
These energies are extremely pure. Even without making any attempts, Levi can still understand that they can be converted into any kind of energy.
Whether it is light, electricity, fire, or anything else.
Because the power was too strong, it inevitably caused some damage to his body, but often just the slightest crack was repaired by his self-healing ability.
At the same time, a lot of knowledge comes with it. The Power Stone can imitate the superpowers of all physical properties. For example, the fire, lightning and light he controls can all be regarded as physical phenomena and will be greatly enhanced as a result.
Even without any experiments, he was fully aware of the fact that from now on, he would be a stronger god of thunder than Thor, and he could also be the god of fire or the god of light.
At the same time, his physical attack and defense capabilities have also been greatly enhanced.
Now he felt that he could easily destroy the planet under his feet with just a punch, and destroying a galaxy was nothing more than a few more punches.
In terms of defense, let alone ordinary human weapons, even a black hole would most likely be unable to do anything to him.
And this is only the ability he can exert at present, but it is far from representing the limit of the Power Stone.
However, since it was the first time it was used, a small amount of energy was inevitably released. A large amount of purple energy flew wantonly in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the ruined temple was completely blasted into ashes.
In a cloud of smoke and dust, Levi flew into the air. He wanted to try his best to gather the outward energy, otherwise he would cause a lot of damage wherever he went, which would be too conspicuous.
After a few breaths, the dissipated energy became less and less until it completely returned to zero. Levi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What followed was a strong sense of self-confidence. Although the world is big, how many people can be considered real enemies in front of me who holds the Power Stone?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Levi couldn't help but frown. He shook his head vigorously to forcefully dispel the thought.
He felt that he was still a little affected, and his self-confidence was so inflated, which was not his character.
No matter how powerful the Power Gem is, it has an upper limit.
Even without mentioning the five gods and other gem holders, this thing will just be an ordinary ornamental gem after leaving the current universe and going to other worlds.
At the Time Variance Administration (TVA), the Infinity Gems are like candies, in drawers after drawers.
The Infinity Stones of this universe are basically useless if they are taken to other parallel universes.
I haven't made up my mind to stay here forever, and external things are just external things after all. I still have to work hard to improve my own strength.
And if a multiverse convergence really happens and this universe conflicts with other parallel universes, the power of the Infinity Stones will be greatly weakened, because every world has these things!
But no matter what, the power gem greatly enhances his own strength. Levi even feels that as long as he thinks about it, he will be able to return to Earth through teleportation spell.
After thinking about it, Levi took out the Soul Blade.
In order to better use the power of the Infinity Stones, even powerful people like Ancient One and Odin had to rely on external containers, so there was no need for me to try to be too strong.
What the Soul Blade lacks is energy, so the Power Gem can be used to recharge it.
As energy poured in, a slight "click" sound was heard, and a few tiny cracks appeared on the Soul Blade.
Even though this is another world, the special weapons created by Mysterio, the devil lord of Hell's border at his peak, are still not as good as the Power Stone.
Levi's expression did not change at all. The Soul Blade was made of pure energy. As long as there was enough energy, it could certainly be repaired.
It just so happens that what I lack the least right now is energy!
So as he continued to inject energy, the Soul Blade continued to repeat the process of being destroyed, repaired, and then destroyed again.
And as time went on, the Soul Blade's strength and other aspects began to improve rapidly and steadily, and the cracks that appeared became smaller and smaller until they could no longer be destroyed.
Levi did not stop, but continued to strengthen it and created a small space on the hilt to accommodate the power gem.
The Soul Blade can be integrated into his soul, so can the Soul Blade with the gem of power be integrated into his soul? It's worth a try!
If you can carry the power gem with you, or even integrate it into your soul, it will naturally be easier for you to truly master it and continue to strengthen the power of the Soul Blade.
It turned out that his plan was feasible. With a slight sound, the power gem was successfully embedded in it.
Levi immediately tentatively retracted the Soul Blade into his soul, and he did not encounter any obstacles in the process, as if the Power Gem was originally a part of the Soul Blade.
It is perfectly integrated into Levi's soul, and is still continuously strengthening the Soul Blade and providing him with powerful strength.
Levi finally breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, unless someone killed him, there was no way the other party would be able to take away the Power Stone.
And what kind of person is needed to kill him who possesses the Power Stone?
A strong person of that level would most likely know of Stan Lee's existence and would give him some face, right?
However, he can use its power to continuously strengthen the Soul Blade and his own body, which is killing two birds with one stone.
But Levi felt that this was only temporary. If he was determined to collect other Infinity Stones, he would have to go to Odin to get the Infinity Gauntlet sooner or later.
The Soul Blade is not the Seven-Star Sword and cannot carry so many gems. He even vaguely feels that one is the limit.
The Infinity Gauntlet can not only reduce the difficulty of controlling the Infinity Gems, but also allow the Infinity Gems to exert more powerful power.
At this time, there was a faint light flickering in the sky, which was the two new stars who noticed the movement.
Green faced the ruins, remaining on guard with all her might, and exerting her full power of the nova, making her look like a huge torch burning with blazing flames.
Through the knowledge transmitted by the Power Stone, Levi understood the source of the energy of the novae almost instantly.
When a star enters old age, its center shrinks inward while its outer shell expands outward, throwing off its outer shell and releasing a large amount of energy.
When releasing energy, its own luminosity will increase many times. This kind of strange star is called a nova or supernova.
Where does this energy go in the end? It is not completely meaningless dissipation, but a considerable part of the energy will eventually gather in a special subspace called the Nova Field.
In a nearly infinite universe, the number of supernovae is almost endless, and new supernovae appear every moment, which means that the energy in the nova field will almost never be exhausted.
By coincidence, the Nova Corps' super-intelligent computer, the Heart of the Universe, discovered this special field of power, and eventually channeled its energy through the Nova Helmet, creating the current Nova Corps.
So in theory, wherever there are supernovas, novae can draw power from them.
The reason why the Nova Corps' sphere of influence is limited to the Andromeda Galaxy and the number of people is limited to 500, and even there are certain number restrictions on novas of different levels, is not because the energy of the Nova field is insufficient, but because the capacity of the Heart of the Universe is limited and can only cover this part of the area.
If it exceeds this range, it will not be able to effectively communicate with the Novae and distribute energy to them through the Novae helmets, and the Novae will become very weak.
But if it teaches the relevant knowledge to Wei Jing, and with his help, the Earth can also create its own Nova Corps!
Maya was a little anxious and stood by Levi's side: "Are you okay?"
Levi chuckled and shook his head: "In fact, I have never felt so good. Let's go, let's go to Xandar!"
