Chapter 86: Energy Absorption Lv5
[Energy Absorption Lv5 (1/20000):
Able to absorb nearly all forms of energy within a 20-meter radius, with extremely high absorption speed and energy storage limit. Can even manipulate nearly all forms of energy within a 10-meter range!]
Energy from the void continued to strengthen Alex's body. With this limitless energy reinforcement, every cell in his body underwent transformation, allowing it to accommodate more powerful energy!
During this process, Alex's physical strength kept increasing, seemingly without end. Initially, Alex's physical attributes benefited from the Satoru Gojo template and the constant enhancement of energy absorption, and his physical strength saw substantial improvement even without using cursed energy manipulation or energy enhancement. However, compared to the likes of the Hulk or the Eternals, he still wasn't formidable enough.
But now, with energy absorption at Lv5, even without any methods to enhance his physical attributes, his physical strength could match, if not surpass, the base form of the Hulk! And the rapid enhancement of his physique was only a small part of the overall improvement!
A torrent of information flooded into Alex's mind, with such a vast amount of information continually impacting his consciousness that it could even cause some damage to his soul! The amount of information at Lv5 energy absorption was several times greater than at Lv4! This was a qualitative enhancement!
Even with the Six Eyes, he couldn't quickly absorb all this memory; he could only protect himself from the vast information's harm. It was uncertain how much time had passed before Alex fully digested the memory data brought by Energy Absorption Lv5!
With a slight mental shift...
Buzz!
Everything within a 20-meter radius of him stopped moving, as the energy between molecules was absorbed by Alex. The molecular movement immediately slowed and eventually nearly ceased! As a result, the surrounding temperature plummeted rapidly, nearing absolute zero! This was absolute control over energy at the molecular level!
Furthermore, because Alex could manipulate energy at the molecular level, he could now directly absorb previously unabsorbable biological energy or magic! At this point, except for extremely special high-dimensional energies like the Phoenix Force, or abilities that directly act on atomic decomposition, no energy could harm Alex!
Additionally, he achieved transformation in other areas!
Three Infinity Stones revolved around him, continuously releasing endless energy that Alex rapidly absorbed! Previously, he couldn't handle the Infinity Stones, but now, he could absorb them for an extended period by controlling the absorption speed!
With the support of vast amounts of energy, the template fusion rate soared!
[Template Fusion Rate: 14%]
[Template Fusion Rate: 15%]
[Template Fusion Rate: 16%]
...
As time passed, the template fusion rate finally broke through to 20%! Upon reaching 20% template fusion, Alex unlocked a new skill!
[Template Fusion Rate: 20%]
[New Skill Unlocked: Unknown Wings · White!]
[Unknown Wings · White Lv1 (1/100): Manipulate the phase power in space to form perfect white wings, greatly enhancing the user's strength!]
A new torrent of information surged into Alex's mind, but this time he could easily bear it! Moments later, he fully absorbed this information, and pure white wings spread out behind him, with a glowing halo appearing above his head like an angel's!
The enhancement granted by Unknown Wings · White was about several times stronger than Unknown Wings · Black.
But for Alex at his current level, even that was limited. The Lv1 Unknown Wings provided minimal reinforcement; at least Lv3, reaching the strength of Accelerator, would be necessary for a noticeable boost!
However, Alex was highly optimistic about the future of the Unknown Wings, wondering what level they could achieve beyond Accelerator's capabilities!
Just as Alex was continually adapting to the explosive energy within his body using the Six Eyes, a portal suddenly formed before him, and a bald woman emerged from it. The newcomer was the Sorcerer Supreme!
Now that energy absorption could disregard most magic, and with his current abilities, Alex had truly entered the realm of the likes of Odin.
Even if he wasn't yet the Sorcerer Supreme's equal, he was confident he could escape safely. This newfound confidence in his power made him feel no discomfort when facing the Sorcerer Supreme!
They were now equals!
Despite the absolute zero temperature, the Sorcerer Supreme remained unharmed, protected by a faint energy shield. Her gaze toward Alex was a mixture of complexity, shock, and bewilderment. Even with the Time Stone, which allowed her to see multiple timelines, she couldn't understand what was happening with Alex!
His strength had just received a massive boost, yet after the battle ended, his power increased again—this time by an even more considerable margin! Faced with the newly strengthened Alex, even she had to treat him cautiously
However, centuries of practice allowed her to restrain herself from questioning Alex and instead calmly explain her purpose:
"Alex, you have killed all the Eternals, which will surely attract the Celestials' attention. Even though your strength has significantly increased to the level of Sky Fathers, I still suggest you leave this planet and even this universe as soon as possible, heading to another dimension!
"Because even a Sky Father-level being is no match for the Celestials. Each Celestial possesses power at least at a single-universe level.
"Once they capture you, they will judge you. If they sentence you to death, you will be powerless to resist their judgment."
With a serious expression, the Ancient One spoke the truth. But what worried her more was the prospect of a clash between Alex and the Celestials!
After all, there were too many uncertainties surrounding Alex. His power was growing so rapidly that the Ancient One even suspected he might be an incarnation of a multiverse-level dimensional ruler!
Even if not, a confrontation between Alex and the Celestials would create too many unknowns, as his timeline was highly unusual. The Ancient One couldn't observe his future, but she was sure that once the two sides interacted, it would cause a multiverse-shaking event!
Either the Celestials would subdue and kill Alex...
Or Alex would annihilate all the Celestials and, in the near future, massacre all the Celestials across the multiverse!
For some reason, the Ancient One instinctively believed the second scenario was more likely!
Even though it seemed impossible, her sixth sense, honed over countless experiences, told her that was the direction the future would take!
The Celestials, despite their flaws, were crucial for maintaining the universe's stability and couldn't be replaced!
Thus, sensing the future where the Celestials of the multiverse were slaughtered, the Ancient One's primary goal, beyond mitigating the battle's aftermath to prevent excessive mortal casualties, was to get rid of this threat quickly:
Send this troublemaker to another parallel universe! Let him cause havoc elsewhere, just not here!
