Marvel Start With Reality Stone - Chapter 40

“Spending 5000 points of energy, manifesting an oral, body-strengthening serum that I can endure now, the safest and the fastest acting!”

Once again, he communicated with the [Mutated Stone], spending all his reserved energy points.

Facing the still fierce, albeit somewhat diminished, fire, Qi Jun once again manifested a glowing green body-strengthening serum.

Syringes are stupid; oral is so much better!

With a thought, all 5000 points of energy instantly zeroed out.

At the same time, a glass bottle identical to the previous one, complete with a straw, appeared in Qi Jun’s hands.

Unlike the previous bottle, which glowed green but was utterly transparent, this one, though still glowing, was significantly less transparent and overall more viscous.

Of course, Qi Jun didn’t care whether it was transparent or viscous; he simply inserted the straw and gently sipped.

As expected, the seemingly viscous green liquid was quickly sucked into his mouth.

Gulp~~

Throwing the empty bottle with the straw into the fire, Qi Jun did not hesitate to swallow the green liquid in his mouth.

………………….

“Oh oh oh~~~~”

“Ah ah ah~~~~”

Indeed, the two extremes of experiences, just like before, descended upon Qi Jun once again.

Qi Jun rolled, twisted, and convulsed on the ground without any care for his image.

Fortunately, Qi Jun had previously infused some energy into ‘Rorschach’s Mask,’ continuously activating its effects.

Plus, Qi Jun was at the edge of the fire site, away from the onlookers, and the fire’s roaring and exploding noises helped mask the sound.

Otherwise, his screams would have been discovered as abnormal much earlier.

At least, even if the person involved actively forgot about Qi Jun, there would still be many recording devices that would inevitably capture his screams, thereby triggering some secretive organizations to investigate quietly.

Luckily, nothing happened due to the fire, which could be his making and undoing!

………………….

Two minutes later, Qi Jun lay on the ground again, lifelessly exhausted.

Even though he felt the immense power within his body, Qi Jun seemed to have lost even the strength to move.

Of course, this was just a momentary daze!

The stronger his body became, the more Qi Jun could experience those extremes to the fullest.

As his body strengthened, the second time was more painful.

The third time would be even worse than the second.

After lying down for a while, Qi Jun suddenly sprang up with a carp’s leap, jumping up nearly ten meters, which even startled him.

“But, this feeling.”

“It’s thrilling!”

Boom~~

Landing on the ground, Qi Jun created a deep crater with his step, indicating that such enhancement could be taken even further!

This was an accidental leap; he would probably create a massive crater if he deliberately charged up a strike.

However, Qi Jun didn’t go ahead with this thought because he felt like it.

After experiencing two extremes, Qi Jun seemed much more composed.

That slight irritability from before disappeared.

Feeling the surging power inside him, Qi Jun seemed to recall what he had said after his first enhancement.

Didn’t he say he didn’t want to experience it a second time?

Heh~

Qi Jun shook his head and chuckled.

You can only say,

It’s truly delicious!

………………….

I looked at the fire, which had returned to its fierce state during his second enhancement.

Qi Jun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He had thought the fire would gradually die out due to his absorption, but he didn’t expect it to return to its previous state.

For Qi Jun, this was an unexpected delight.

However, a carp flip that unexpectedly launched him ten meters high gave Qi Jun a clear view of the real-time situation inside the fire site.

Although the fire had temporarily returned to its maximum extent, there wasn’t much combustible material left inside.

With Qi Jun’s enhanced vision, he could see that nearly ninety percent of the containers and warehouses had exploded, with almost all the materials inside burning.

With no more combustible material, the fire would eventually die down.

Even Qi Jun felt that the combustible materials were being consumed faster because he absorbed fire energy.

Qi Jun suspected the fire would likely be much smaller after this absorption!

………………….

But this also led Qi Jun to some realizations.

His ability to absorb so much energy in the fire site resulted from multiple effects interacting.

Qi Jun could feel that if he had initially realized the massive energy in the crude oil and absorbed it all, he wouldn’t have gained as much energy as he did now.

Qi Jun could absorb energy multiple times without extinguishing the fire because the burning materials generated more and more tremendous energy.

Like the energy of a nuclear explosion, if you had all the materials needed to make a nuclear bomb, could you absorb as much power as a nuclear explosion?

No!

Nuclear explosions are so feared because of the energy they release during the explosion and the subsequent pollution that causes fear.

But how much energy does the material to make a nuclear bomb itself contain? Does it inherently cause fear?

Not!

Therefore, Qi Jun also realized that he could absorb so much fire energy because of the explosions and burning of crude oil, ignited by oxygen and fueled by the sea breeze, and the interaction of various factors, which erupted into more fire energy!

He would need to create a massive explosion to absorb a large amount of energy in the future.

Thinking this, Qi Jun was a bit stunned.

………………….

But why think so much?

Qi Jun didn’t believe that absorbing large amounts of energy could only depend on such methods.

That’s certainly not possible!

Where there’s a will, there’s a way, especially now, the focus is on absorbing the vast energy from the fire in front of him!

I am looking at the fire at its peak.

Qi Jun felt even more spirited.

“Target! Fifty thousand points of energy!”

“Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!”

Qi Jun: I am invincible!

………………….

Qi Jun: If you don’t vote and give power stone, I’ll absorb you too!
