Bab 97: Closure and a New Destination
"Fragments from another dimension?"
Looking at the conversion result displayed by the system, which was completely incompatible with the general characteristics of the Ten Rings, Asher felt there might be something wrong with the system - after all, in Asher's view items related to extradimensional powers should be extremely rare, and the Ten Rings, no matter how powerful they were, could not be considered universal-level artifacts.
However, even though he was a little confused, Asher felt very happy at that moment, it could be said that the ''Fragment from Another Dimension'' was a Jackpot in every sense.
It was definitely something to celebrate, not because of the special item, but because of the Pokémon that could be summoned.
Giratina, it wasn't just any Pokémon, even among the legendary ones, whether in power or status in the Pokémon world, Giratina represented the absolute top, of the pyramid.
Born at the beginning of the universe, at the same time as ''Dialga - The Lord of Time'' and "Palkia - The Lord of Space'', "Giratina - the Renegade" received from the creator dominion over anti-matter, responsible for keeping the entire Pokémon universe counter-balanced and cohesive, Giratina and her two siblings can be said to be the apex of power in the Pokémon world, second only to Arceus - The Creator.
The Fallen Dragon God, in addition to all his power, still reigned absolute over his own dimension "The Distorted World", which was very similar to the mirrored dimension of the Wizards of Kamar Taj, but much more chaotic and composed mainly of anti-matter.
In his heart, Asher knew that if he managed to summon Giratina, this would probably be one of his greatest assets if not his greatest, when he was on the same level as his other Pokémon, of course.
But here's the problem...
"40,000 points? How can I accumulate so many points? Hey System, do you want me to exchange my kidneys for points?"
[Replying to the Host, after verification, the price of the host's kidneys is about 50 system points each, do you want to confirm the exchange?]
"...Really, System?"
After receiving a dose of cold logic from the system, which wasn't funny at all, Asher finally calmed down, thinking about it although many points were needed, the price itself was fair.
In the case of one of the three great ones below the Creator, it was a very reasonable price to pay, even if the summoned Giratina was not at its maximum power, after thinking a little that the current situation was very similar to the situation with the " Power Gem: Destiny'', the price to be paid for the exchange was actually based mainly on the quantity of Power Shards sacrificed to the system.
In other words, the value of the "Fragments of Another Dimension" transformed from the Ten Rings was very low, so it would be incredibly expensive to trade for a Pokémon like Giratina.
[If the host wishes to reduce the value of the invocation, it is recommended to find more ''Fragments from Another Dimension''.]
After hearing the system notification, Adher fell silent.
There is no doubt - There is always another way, Asher could indeed gather 40,000 system points, but that would take a long time, fortunately there is another option, a cheaper one.
The next question to be resolved then was where to find more "Fragments from Another Dimension"...
"Hey! Get up, the time to play dead is over!"
It didn't take long for Asher to have an idea of where to find more fragments, with a psychic wave, Asher levitated Mandarin and brought him right in front of him.
"...My Rings - What did you do with my rings?"
As soon as he woke up, the Mandarin quickly discovered that the Ten Rings, the main source of his power and longevity were missing, for the first time in centuries Xu Wenwu, felt helpless.
"Tell me... how do I get to Ta-Lo."
Asher's words penetrated directly into the deepest part of the Mandarin's heart, leaving him disconcerted.
"How do you know..."
Even though he was very surprised, after hearing that name for the first time in a long time, The Mandarin quickly regained his calm and his expression became stoic again - "Because you want to know..."
"Buzz!"
Realizing that it would be a lengthy discussion, Asher didn't even bother to listen to the villain, exercising his psychic power once again and directly invaded the Mandarin's mind.
The other party, despite being a tough nut, didn't offer much resistance, largely due to the fact that Asher had no qualms about sweeping the villain's mind.
"Aaaaah!"
A scream of pain echoed throughout the room, after a few seconds, Asher got all the information he wanted, while the man, who became known as one of the most dangerous in the world and lived for centuries, fell unconscious on the cold floor, it was difficult to tell whether he would be able to recover after such an experience.
"Hey man, what happened here?"
When Asher finished searching the Mandarin's mind, Tony, who had finished dealing with the goons and Killian, came flying out.
Asher, who was focused on the information he had extracted, finally looked around, noticing that the entire fortress of the Ten Rings was in ruins, while Dr. Killian was lying under a pile of rubble, it was difficult to tell if he was dead or alive.
The burn marks on Iron Man's armor made it clear that the battle had been very challenging.
[Congratulations to the host for changing the plot: Tony Stark defeated Aldrich Killian in advance, the host receives 300 system points.]
As Asher received the system prompt, Tony looked at the man Asher had defeated - "So this is what the mighty Mandarin has turned into?" It's really regrettable. "
Tony, as much as he still hated the man, for hurting Pepper, still regretted seeing what was left of his enemy.
"He is no longer The Mandarin, now he is nothing more than a broken man."
Tony didn't know what happened to Asher after he disappeared with the Mandarin, but without a doubt, he trusted Asher's decision enough to be sure in his heart that if The Mandarin ended up like this he must have done something to deserve it. ..
As Asher said, this man would no longer be the Mandarin, what fate had in store for him was no longer in Tony's interest.
Asher levitated the unconscious Mandarin, and then threw him directly at Tony - "You take him back to Peggy, I still have some things to do."
"Are you sure?"
Tony, listened and realized the meaning behind Asher's words.
"I'm going somewhere else."
"Need help?"
Tony asked calmly.
"No... I may have to leave Earth for a short time, your current armor won't be much use where I'm going."
Asher said with a smile - Tony had not yet developed his armor enough to deal with the possible creatures he would encounter in Ta-lo, especially if he ended up facing the sealed monster.
"This time you have prepared, right?"
"Of course – I'm in control of everything."
Asher smiled confidently, and then his body turned into a beam of silver light and flew eastwards, disappearing into the horizon.
"...It's a terrible feeling."
Tony looked at his departing friend once again, and then looked at the marks left by his battle with Killian, and then muttered to himself.
"Jarvis, after we return, we will begin research into nanotechnology.
"But sir, this project did not prove to be viable in the simulations."
"Forget the simulations Jarvis."
Tony said categorically: "It's time to become stronger, otherwise... We will be further and further away from him."
As for who Tony was referring to, as for the distance, naturally there is no need to say.
