Kapitel 32: Can I absorb Aether?

The combination of Pusher and Wiper ability was indeed strong (Pusher is mind manipulation and Wiper is deleting memories.) Kira was not made into a emotionless doll, she still retained her personality. All Arthur did was remove some unnecessary memories from her, instill a sense of loyalty, obedience and trust towards himself. Plus Kira herself was a Pusher and could use her telepathy to control the base of Division in his absence.

As per his order Kira brought all the cash in the base currently to Arthur, which was about $30 million. This was just the liquidity currently stored in the base. An organization like the Division must have strong financial support and assets in different places like banks, shares, real estate. What's more, this was a assassination organization, who took money for kills.

Arthur just put the $30 million in his inventory. He didn't continue to devour the abilities of the other agents. He had absorbed the ability of Nick and Cassie's Mother. So he could already feel that his body was now a bit saturated.

'System, when can I go to a Second Plane world?'

While Arthur drank wine and enjoyed the massage of Kira behind him, he asked the system.

[Host can use the remaining slot to travel to another Copy world after system is upgraded for the second time. While to upgrade, the system will require a lot of energy, unless host devours a very powerful ability which can provide large amount of energy, it would take time to upgrade.] system replied.

"Very large amount of energy?" Arthur thought for a moment and suddenly said, "How about Aether? Can you absorb its energy? It is also an infinity stone, so can the system inventory store it?"

The system did not answer immediately, and seems to be considering the answer. Aether is one of the Infinity Stones and was a Reality Stone.

However, without the infinity gauntlet the aether required a host to be used. And if the body of the host is not strong enough he can die. The aether will suck the life-force of its host if he was not powerful.

[It will take a large amount of time to be devoured. Can be stored in inventory.] After a long time, system gave a reply.

This reply made Arthur somewhat unable to suppress the excitement in himself. His inventory could store an infinity stone and his body could freaking absorb an infinity stone, though it would take a large amount of time but it was still no small feat.

If he remembers correctly, the aether first appeared in Thor 2. Then Captain America 2 starts and SHIELD is disintegrated, followed by the events of Guardians of the Galaxy, and then Avengers 2 happens. At that time, Ultron was a powerful enemy. He needs to build his own strength for these events.

This requires careful consideration on how to maximize his benefits while minimising the risks.

The three-day time limit soon passed. From the time of coming to the base to the occupation of the base, the three-days went away in the blink of an eye. Arthur did not continue to devour other abilities, but practise and get used to his existing abilities. At the same time… he also tried to find Pop girl. But he didn't know why, but even with the help if the Division he could not find Pop girl. He could only give up finding her now since his time limit was up. Anyway, he can still come here later. Before leaving, he gave Kira three objectives.

One is to continue to develop gene potion, to make it more efficient in giving superpowers and to reduce death rate. The second is to make more money. As for the third point, it is to continue to find Pop girl.

Soon he vanished from the Push World and again came back to Marvel world. He found himself again in a cave where he was before going to the Push world. He activated his flame mode and flew towards the cities. He then went to a local fast food store and tried to use the cash he bought from the Push world. The money was real and usable even in the marvel world. Initially Arthur was worried that the cash couldn't be used here but his worries were unfounded.

"Ring Ring....." while he was still eating his sandwich his phone rang.

"Where have you been in these three days, why couldn't I contact you?" said Phil Coulson on the phone.

"People all need some personal time and holiday, don't they?" Arthur said faintly while finishing his sandwich.

"But your holiday is now over, report back to the base, we have a Mission!" Phil Coulson said.
