Chapter 47: Wolverine got the Power Stone?
The demonic flames were surging, and the deepness revealed an ancient, burning sulfur smell, which made the surroundings looked very much like a hell made of fire.
But after Bullseye and the others also turned into their demonized form, the hellish magic on their bodies was as terrifying as an eldritch horror.
Just after Uncle was kidnapped the real horror came!!
"Is this the source of the Mutation...?"
Cyclops and his group approached the blood-stained sky.
They got serious.
Soon, they crossed most of the city and came to an abandoned factory. The sky was scarlet, as if it was condensed into liquid blood and fell down. The dark magic flame made people's throats dry.
Not far away.
A beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth was shining with a unique brilliance. The powerful energy fluctuations made Wolverine squint his eyes.
"No that's not it!"
"There seems to be something inside the beam of light... a living being...?!"
Cyclops looked up at the sky in doubt.
In the center of the surging light column, a dark green, translucent object could be vaguely seen. It was long and thin, with wooden scales on its body. An ancient and profound aura flowed from it.
"To the people of this land!"
"Your emperor is back!"
The dull roar was like thunder, exploding from the Holy Lord.
He was the well-deserved emperor of the dark kingdom that once built and ruled the world!
He was sealed into a stone statue by Lo Pei and Lan Caihe, but with the power of the spell, he finally... resurrected again!
After Thor and the others arrived
, they saw such an exploding picture.
The magic flames soared into the sky, and Bullseye and the others entered the demonic form one after another, surrounding the light column, as if guarding something, and in the center of the light column, the illusory figure was the Holy Lord.
With the ability of the sheep talisman to let the soul leave the body which allowed him to break free from the seal, and the power of the tiger spell to balance yin and yang helped him perfectly absorb the energy of other spells.
The terrifying power soared into the sky and turned into a light column that penetrated the sky and the earth. Under the mighty energy tide, the only being, the old uncle who can probably contend against him, was also kidnapped by the Black Hand Gang and turned into a hostage.
Without the obstruction of righteous magic, it would be difficult for Thor and the others to prevent the Holy Lord from getting control of the other talismans.
The Holy Lord is the real master of the twelve talismans after all.
Whoosh!
A stream of light soared into the sky
"My talisman!"
The horse talisman on Jean's hand was just the beginning. Soon, other talismans also went out of control.
"You are the one behind this?!"
Thor's pupils shrank, and he clenched the dog charm in his hand, pointing it at the Holy Lord.
The changes in the sky, the turbulence of the charm... were obviously related to this guy.
And, this fact was proven true!
[Ding——]
Just as Thor was using his thunderbolt to strike the Holy Lord, the familiar system notification sound rang again, confirming their guess.
[Triggering plot characters, Fire Demon, Holy Lord]
[Main quest, decisive battle! The battle between good and evil has begun]
[In short, the decisive battle has begun. The recruiters of both camps, please defeat the other side as soon as possible to win the final and only victory. The winner has everything, and the loser loses everything....]
[Judgment conditions]
[Prevent the reunion of the twelve spells, seal the Holy Lord again, and put him back in hell]
[...]
[It has been detected that the recruiter has started the last round of the mission. The system store is temporarily open and has obtained special exemptions.]
[Ding! Points reduction has been enabled]
[Ding! The review restriction has been lifted]
[...]
The new content that appeared on the system panel made both camps shine.
"Seal the Holy Lord?!"
"Help the Holy lord integrate with the talismans and break him free from his shackles?"
Both sides spoke at almost the same time, but the content was very different.
The two camps were completely opposite.
The two sides' judgments on victory were obviously completely opposite.
The key point is that!
On the side of the demonic camp there is the shadow in the sky
"he..."
"Is he truly the Holy Lord? The Fire Demon?"
Cyclops frowned slightly, squinting his eyes to look up at the sky, the pig charm in his hand struggled violently, especially after getting close to the Holy Lord, the charm that had been obedient before began to disobey his orders.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Laser light shot out from his eyes, tentatively attacking the Holy Lord in the sky.
Zizi!
The scorching scarlet light hit the Holy Lord, and two huge holes appeared in the dark green figure in an instant. Even the in the soul state one could not be exempted from the attack. This is the tyranny of laser energy.
However, before they had time to be happy.
Buzz~ white light flashed across the Holy Lord, and the huge wound recovered in an instant, as if he had never been injured. The terrifying recovery ability was jaw-dropping.
"No!"
"It's not recovery power, it's the power of a talisman! It's the power of the horse talisman!"
Sparkling Silver's face was dark, and his expression was quite ugly.
They had seen this kind of recovery power that could be called a bug before, it was definitely the power of that talisman.
"Blame me..."
"If I hadn't been caught off guard the spell..."
Jean pursed her lips, clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh, with a strong sense of self-blame on her face.
"Now is not the time to blame oneself. The most urgent thing is to get rid of that guy! His power is getting stronger and stronger... and that light column, I have a bad feeling about that..."
Wolverine had a sullen face and a solemn look.
The talismans struggled fiercely, breaking free from their hands one after another. Their power was constantly reduced, but in the sky, the strength of the Holy Lord was constantly growing stronger, and the terrifying phantom became more and more solid.
"We must interrupt that guy's actions...."
"We are too passive now...."
Cyclops was fighting Doctor Conners, his lizard arms engulfed by flames were like the ones of the lizard like creature known as the salamander.
He looked up at the sky, and the rolling energy tides made him feel very uneasy.
However, before he could say anything else,
"Be careful!"
Wolverine exclaimed.
In the sky, the Holy Lord, who had been a background, finally took action.
"You lowly ants dare to covet my power!" The Lord breathed heavily. The return of several talismans gave him confidence. He no longer had to hide his head and show his tail."You deserve to die!" A dull roar shattered the clouds.
Dragon talisman! Activate!
The power of the fire explosion erupted in the air, like boiling magma, turning into breath and attacking Cyclops.
at the same time the pig talisman went out of control.
Cyclops was a little caught off guard, and in a panic, he fell into a disadvantage.
And this... is just the Lord's opening attack, the real danger is still behind
"Pitiful ant!"
The offensive was successful, and the Holy Lord became even more arrogant. Terrifying energy bloomed on him, as if to crush cyclops with one move. While establishing his majesty, he also recovered the pig charm on Cyclops. The pig charm on cyclops's body was the most resistant to his summons among many charms.
This was also the reason why the Holy Lord aimed his spearhead at Cyclops.
Rabbit!
Chicken!
Cow!
Three charms lit up at the same time, and the powerful forces merged into a terrifying force.
Orbital cannon flying kick!
The Holy Lord soared into the air, and the powerful force shattered the void.
Swish, swish, swish -
Cyclops widened his eyes and desperately shot out laser beams. The oppression coming in his face made him palpitate.
The closer he got to the Holy Lord, the more violently the pig charm in his hand struggled. Without the blessing of the charm, it was too difficult to resist the Holy Lord's attack relying solely on his superpowers.
The fusion of the power of the three charms, the power of the flying kick, is far more powerful than a single charm.
It seemed... it was really an orbital strike from the starry sky.
"Damn it!"
Cyclops burst out with all his strength, cold sweat gradually sliding down his forehead.
100 meters!
10 meters!
3 meters...
The distance between the Holy Lord and Cyclops was getting closer and closer, and the terrifying strong wind was like a sharp blade, leaving blood marks on his body.
No fancy tricks.
Just the ultimate power can also destroy everything.
Just when the orbital cannon kicked and hit Cyclops' head with unstoppable force,
"Get out of my way——"
A thunderous roar exploded in the air.
Flying kick was blocked!!
But... it was not Cyclops who made the move, but... Wolverine!
With one hand in front of him, he used the strength of his body to block the Holy Lord's sideways flying kick. The ultimate power represented by the Bull Talisman was blocked by humans!
The terrifying aftermath bloomed with them as the center of the circle. Many people were directly swept by the shock wave, but Wolverine, who was at the center of the storm, did not change at all. He took root under his feet, like a rock, and could not be moved.
"My attack... was blocked?!"
The Lord's rough voice sounded, with an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal.
"You are just an ant... How could it be possible that you stopped my attack? ..."
The Holy Lord stared with his big eyes like copper bells, his face full of disbelief. He had clearly activated the power of the Bull Talisman, so why couldn't he beat this freak?!
He even vaguely felt that the power of Wolverine was even more terrifying than him with the Bull Talisman fully activated.
How... is this possible!!
The Bull Talisman represents the ultimate power, the pinnacle of power!
The Holy Lord's worldview was shaken.
"hiss..."
"How is this going?!"
"Wolverine, can he catch up to the power of the talismans with his bare hands?!"
Not only the Holy Lord.
Even Thor and his companions found that they did not recognize this companion.
When did...
Wolverine become so strong?!
He actually blocked the attack that even Cyclops couldn't withstand?
With the talisman the Abomination almost beat Hulk to his death and it was with the help of the Bull Talisman. The Holy Lord now has three talismans activated, rabbit, chicken, and bull... The power of the three talismans complement each other. Even an arrogant Thor dare not take such an attack head on.
But Wolverine did it.
Is this still the opponent he defeated before?
Thor was slightly stunned, looking at the scene in the center of the battlefield, and he was a little skeptical about his life.
"No that's not it!"
"Something is happening!"
"Wolverine seems to have something in his hand?!"
Batman frowned and looked at the screen, his sharp eyes seemed to see through everything.
In the field, the people caught in the melee may not have noticed anything unusual.
But as a spectator before the live broadcast, he was the first to find out that something was wrong. Wolverine caught the flying kick with one hand, showing unimaginable strength, but his other hand was clenched into a fist, emitting a glowing light that was spreading into his body.
It seems like some kind of crystal.
Or... some kind of gem?!
"What is that?"
Superman looked up at his friend in confusion, but was greeted by his shaking head.
There was too little information for Batman to guess.
"Infinity Gems!"
"The Power Stone!"
Unlike the confused superheroes, Odin suddenly stood up from his seat.
even if the superheroes didn't recognize it, how could he not recognize it?
The dark purple gem in Wolverine's hand was one of the Infinity Stones, the Power Stone representing the power of the universe!
Having once came into contact with space stone and witnessing the power of the time stone, these two Infinity Stones, he would never make a mistake in his recognition of this kind of power that comes from the same source.
But!
Here comes the problem!
The six Infinity Stones that represent the origin of the universe.
Why did the Power Stone appear on Wolverine, and even appeared in the mission world?!
"Could it be..."
"The system did it again?!"
Ancient One's pupils shrank. As the owner of the Time Stone, she also recognized the Power Stone in Wolverine's hand.
This legendary Infinity Stones actually appeared on the X-Men.
This is something that has never happened in countless timelines.
Ancient One racked her brains but couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only blame it on the unfathomable system.
However... her random guess turned out to be the truth that she didn't expect.
"It's the system store!"
Faced with everyone's doubtful expressions, Wolverine finally revealed the answer to the puzzle.
Just now.
While the others were concentrated on the Lord and fighting with the demonic camp, he was checking on the new unlocked store function.
——Temporary store!
The dazzling array of treasures, the various magical effects, the dazzling array, but more important than these, is their prices.
All of them have been greatly discounted from the original price.
And!
The most important thing is!
"Exchanging in this system store, no medal evaluation is required?!"
Cyclops exclaimed.
He finally knew where Wolverine's power came from.
[The Power Stone, one of the Infinity Stones, represents the power of the origin of the universe. The stronger the body, the more powerful the power....]
The infinite gems of the original universe are also included in the exchange list of the system store.
Moreover, the points required to purchase it have plummeted a lot and the discount is so much that the points required are no longer an astronomical figure that is out of reach, but something they can afford. Most importantly, it breaks the iron rule of the system store. Medal evaluation is no longer required, and points can be used directly to redeem
[Infinity Gems]
[Redemption requirement: 1000 points]
[Additional conditions: None]
[Special conditions: One]
[...]
Thor's eyes almost turned red as he looked at the text on the interface.
The changes in Wolverine were obvious, and the power of the Power Stone was also revealed.
And such a powerful treasure only cost 1,000 points to redeem?
After a series of side quests, he gained not only the dog talisman, but also the points for assists in participating in various talisman search missions. He originally thought it was just a consolation prize, but he didn't expect it to have such a use. The balance of more than 2,000 was enough for Thor to redeem two Infinity Stones!!
Even other people could exchange for one or half a stone.
However!
Before they could get excited and ecstatic, Cyclops' voice rang out, pouring a basin of cold water on everyone present.
"Don't be happy too quickly..."Cyclops pursed his lips, not being overwhelmed by the surprise. He keenly noticed the abnormality. "The unlimited gems and special abilities in the system store are all limited!!"
After Cyclops' reminder, someone finally reacted and found a few lines of small words on the blushing treasure.
[Temporary Stores]
[In the system store, the price of goods has been greatly reduced, and all restrictions have been removed. They can be exchanged at will, and only the minimum points requirement must be met.]
[The item has special restrictions and can only be used in the current world and cannot be taken out of the world.]
[The product has temporary properties. After successful redemption, you need to continue to consume points to maintain it. Different products consume different amounts of points. Once the points are exhausted, the product will disappear.]
[Note: Please use your points reasonably to win the final victory for your camp.]
"Damn! This is such a bummer!"
"It's temporary..."
"I knew the system couldn't be so generous."
"..."
Noisy voices rang out in the crowd.
Although some people complained, it still couldn't hide the power of these treasures.
Temporary? Limited to a certain world?
So what?
The effects of these products are real!
Didn't you see that Wolverine, who exchanged for the power gem, has already started fighting with the Holy Lord? Relying solely on physical strength, the fight was turned upside down and the earth was about to crack.
With a punch and a kick, the power to shatter space at will was so strong that people dared not imagine any more about it. Those with weaker strength did not even have the qualifications to approach the battlefield. The aftermath could destroy everything.
Judging from the pure strength, the Holy Lord was even at a disadvantage.
"hiss..."
"Uncle, look! The giant lizard was beaten into a tiny lizard...."
A strange voice sounded on the battlefield.
It was Jade!
She was driving a tricycle with her old uncle in it. While the battle was going on, she rushed into the field with Jackie who with his flexible body and agile posture helped to rescue the old uncle. And jade with her racing skills came as fast as she could.
"Wow are you guys playing, whack a mole with that lizard?"
The old man, who was driving too fast and had a back injury, raised his head tremblingly, his eyes went dark, and he was a little slow to react.
E.N: hey guys 3000+ words this chapter so just support me with stones and comments.
