Chapter 218: Cosmic Energy

"Ah!..."

Suddenly, Omar's painful scream grew more intense as his body, transformed into dark energy, tensed to the extreme. A large amount of dark energy then began leaking from his energy form, which was shaped like a black mist.

Received impression points from Omar ＋99999!

The dark energy that had emerged was absorbed into Clark's body, which bore a dark energy mark left by Dormammu.

As time passed, more and more dark energy was used by Omar, but all of it was completely absorbed by the dark mark on Clark's body, leaving none behind.

Received impression points from Omar ＋99999! Received impression points from Omar ＋99999! Received impression points from Omar...

...

While Omar continued to wildly emit dark energy, he also generously provided an almost limitless number of impression points.

However, Clark's face, despite the dual harvest of energy and impression points, showed not a hint of excitement, but rather a deep frown.

This won't do!

Feeling the increasing amount of dark energy inside his body, Clark grew anxious. If this continued, he feared he wouldn't be able to escape Omar's grasp before being overwhelmed by the dark energy, potentially causing the mark left by Dormammu to explode.

Clark couldn't bear such consequences!

There are no bad fields, only exhausted cows.

The ancients did not deceive me!

With a thought, Clark immediately changed his strategy. Instead of using light energy to drive the oscillation force, he gathered the dark energy and sent it all back into Omar's body along with the oscillation force.

"Oh!..."

As the dark energy replaced the original light energy, the previously conflicting pain instantly vanished, replaced by a soul-deep comfort. Omar couldn't help but let out a gratified moan, though it was still tremulous.

And the rhythm at which she provided impression points to Clark sped up considerably.

Received impression points from Omar ＋99999! Received impression points from Omar ＋99999! Received impression points from Omar...

...

With the initial pain replaced by endless pleasure, Omar's originally tense hands and the dark energy that overshadowed Clark finally began to relax. Now, it wouldn't be difficult for Clark to break free.

But, he didn't want to do that just yet.

As the dark energy in his body ebbed and flowed, another energy, starkly different from the dark energy, remained inside him.

This energy was so pure and powerful, far surpassing any form of energy Clark had ever encountered or known.

In comparison, all other forms of energy seemed like diluted, inferior products, hardly worth mentioning.

This energy, purified by the inflow and outflow of dark energy, began to automatically integrate into Clark's body, enhancing and strengthening it.

Even though the final purified energy was finer than a strand of hair, it significantly elevated Clark's overall strength!

Such a domineering energy... could it be the legendary...

Cosmic Energy!

This was a power that only some of the most powerful beings in the universe, like the Eternals, could control and absorb!

Seeing the benefits, Clark worked even harder. Although the energy used for oscillation had switched from light to dark, the dark energy emanating from Omar, mixed with cosmic energy, didn't stop but intensified.

More dark energy was absorbed by the dark mark inside Clark, and as he used the oscillation force to expel it, the residual energy was the purest cosmic energy, continuously fortifying and transforming Clark's body, visibly increasing his strength.

This feeling was incredibly exhilarating!

So exciting!

If Dormammu, who had left the dark mark in him, knew that it would one day help Clark and harm his own sister, what would he think?

The oscillation continued, and this beneficial cycle did not stop. About half an hour later, Clark began to feel that the cosmic energy he could extract from Omar was diminishing. He had to cycle through ten times the amount of dark energy to get just a little bit of cosmic energy.

It was evident that, due to his constant extraction, the cosmic energy in Omar had become exceedingly scarce.

Clark knew he had to stop.

Although Omar was a demon god from the dark plane, her ability to manipulate dark energy depended on the small amount of cosmic energy, much like a general commanding an army.

Now, Omar's cosmic energy had been depleted to its limits. Continuing would mean she would lose control over the dark energy. Not only would this body collapse, but even the slightest soul fragment left in this body would completely dissipate.

Such damage could even affect her true form.

Clark didn't care about Omar's life or death, but in this narrow space, if Omar's body collapsed completely, the immense dark energy would become ownerless and could infiltrate anywhere.

Clark didn't want to risk his life for a tiny bit of cosmic energy.

"Let's go!"

Having decided to withdraw, Clark didn't hesitate. He stopped the oscillation and, using the most brutal method, injected all the participating dark energy into Omar's body, blasting her far away.

Received impression points from Omar ＋99999!

And Clark, having emptied the dark energy, felt an unprecedented lightness. The next moment, the surrounding light energy quickly filled the void, further enhancing his strength. Feeling his current strength, Clark realized he had nearly doubled in strength compared to before he entered this spatial rift.

He was now very close to the limit of his current realm.

This trip to the spatial rift was definitely a huge gain!

On the other side of the rift, Omar struggled to stand up, her newly formed legs trembling uncontrollably, almost falling again.

While Clark had gained immensely, Omar had suffered a significant loss.

Losing so much cosmic energy was a substantial loss for her.

As for her body's increased dark energy, it was irrelevant. Her true form lived in the dark plane, where dark energy was abundant.

Omar's body, now weak in cosmic energy, could hardly control the vast dark energy. It was difficult for her to move freely, let alone continue fighting Clark.

She looked at Clark with complex eyes, unable to harbor hatred for the one who had taken advantage of her.

After brewing her emotions, all that was left to say was: "You, my enemy, I will remember you."

With that, a spatial rift tore open behind her, and she disappeared into it as a black mist, vanishing completely.

Watching Omar disappear, Clark didn't rush to leave. He stood there, absorbing the surrounding light energy to strengthen his body, staring at the other end of the spatial rift, hoping Omar would reappear.

Having tasted cosmic energy, the special light energy in the rift no longer satisfied him.

Unfortunately, Omar did not reappear to offer her body for Clark's gain. As the spatial rift began to close, Clark felt a force repelling him.

He knew the rift was about to close completely, and staying would risk being crushed.

With a sigh of regret, Clark opened a portal and left the treasure land, returning to the training ground of Kamar-Taj.

At that moment, the Ancient One was supervising the training of the mages at Kamar-Taj.

Watching the temple's new strength grow before her eyes helped her forget the pain the dark energy caused her body.

She liked these moments, which calmed her soul.

However, today, her rapid fanning with a sandalwood fan betrayed her inner turmoil, far from the usual calm.

As she had said, the journey to the spatial rift was both an opportunity and a challenge for Clark.

Even the Ancient One, who saw Clark as another hope for Earth besides the next Sorcerer Supreme, couldn't be sure he would survive the challenge and seize his opportunity.

Not until she saw Clark emerge unscathed from a sparking portal did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Approaching him, she looked him over and said with a brighter smile, "It seems your gains in the spatial rift were much greater than I imagined!"

Embarrassed by the praise, Clark simply smiled awkwardly without further explanation.

The Ancient One didn't press him, instead changing the subject: "Earth is in turmoil now. You didn't come here today just to bring gifts and help me, did you?"

"In light of your great contribution to the temple today, I can answer some questions for you that are unrelated to other dimensions."
