Chapter 276 Research on the Crystallization of Cosmic Energy
The exchange went on until the early hours of the morning, and Clark solidified his ideal: he wanted to become a hero who could bring hope to people and never let anyone get hurt.
As for Rune and Raven—Rune's values were already formed, and the Kents trusted him quite a bit. As for Raven, Jonathan and Martha didn't know what to say. In this trolley problem, Raven seemed to think that everything Rune said was right, and she didn't even feel guilty. The Kents also knew about Raven's feelings for Rune, so in the end they only told Raven not to have a relationship so early.
But after Martha left, Jonathan sneakily went up to Rune and Raven and whispered, "You two are at that stage now, have you kissed yet?"
Rune sighed. "You should know I'm not that kind of person."
Jonathan sighed. "Sigh, kids are too mature for their age." He looked at Raven beside him; her face had turned red from those words. Then he looked at Rune; he was far too calm. However, it was precisely because Jonathan knew Rune wasn't that kind of person that he said those words to tease him. If it were any other person, they would have already called 911.
That night, Rune managed to get a good night's sleep, but when he woke up the next day, he took off his blindfold. His regenerated eyes were no different from before, and the pain and itching around his eyes were gone.
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh.
This is why he didn't want to use the magic blast; it was powerful, but the price was far too high. If Superman overused his Cyclops, it would heal in a few dozen seconds at most, but Rune was different. His eyes weren't burned by pure high temperature.
It also contains a trace of dark magic, making recovery particularly difficult.
Fortunately, it was only Mephisto who betrayed Rune this time. Although this guy is a powerful demon lord, Mephisto's power can be increased almost infinitely in his own hell dimension. He has fought against powerful beings such as Galactus, Thanos and Odin. It seems that his strength has definitely reached the level of the Heavenly Father, but in fact, his power is exaggerated.
For example, when Galactus fought Mephisto, the battle took place in the Hell dimension. Therefore, Galactus wasn't facing Mephisto himself, but rather the Hell behind Mephisto.
This guy's greatest strength isn't combat, but strategy. Moreover, his power diminishes significantly once he leaves the Hell Dimension, which is one of the reasons Rune sought him out—even if Mephisto betrays him, Rune can still escape unscathed. As for why Rune invited Hela, it's even simpler: why not use the resources of a partner's family?
Right now, Mephisto is already a dead man in Rune's mind. He's too lazy to even lift a finger. Mephisto is indeed seriously injured, but Rune isn't sure if this clever guy will gather the other demon lords to wait for him to walk into their trap, so Rune chooses to ignore him.
Once Mephisto understands how that ticket works, he'll eventually kneel at his own feet and lick his shoes, all in order to escape this apocalypse.
At that time, Rune will ruthlessly reject and mock this fool, and will never allow him to live, no matter how much the other party offers.
As for what to do today...
Rune took out a crystal of cosmic energy from the void; this was the main event.
In the Marvel Universe, cosmic energy is also a component of magic, so the magic of the Ancient One, Doctor Strange, and others can reach areas such as time. In the comics, the Eye of Agamotto's power to reverse time does not originate from the Time Stone.
The cosmic energy crystal in Rune's hands actually has the potential to become an Infinity Stone. If this cosmic energy crystal were placed in a world where the Infinity Stones have been broken, it might be able to transform into one of the Infinity Stones in a dozen or so years.
After placing the crystal in the workshop, Rune went back to the Kamar-Taj spellbooks he had stolen earlier and began searching carefully.
If I remember correctly, Rune once saw a few words about cosmic energy.
The time and effort required to fully understand this more powerful force would far exceed Rune's imagination. Therefore, Rune wanted to temporarily turn this thing into a magic energy storage device that could be activated at any moment.
Currently, Rune doesn't have many "toys" that can withstand the energy of the universe. Satan's brass knuckles are definitely one, but it's a bit absurd to charge a brass knuckles. Therefore, Rune wants to use it as fuel for the ultimate annihilator. Although the complete version of this thing is very powerful, the one he has is only a defective product, which is somewhat regrettable.
However, Rune believed that with the help of the crystallization of cosmic energy, it could at least regain some of its former glory.
Finally, Rune found the relevant information in the Kamar-Taj spellbook and carefully examined it, but was ultimately utterly disappointed by the vague description. The author merely stated that cosmic energy does not originate from the universe, but is the most fundamental energy of the universe itself. This energy can be transformed into other energies in the most efficient way and possesses many special effects, etc. It seemed as if the author was certain that other mages would not be able to access this energy, so he only mentioned it briefly.
Ah...
Rune rolled his eyes; it seemed he would have to figure it out himself.
He began to try to absorb the energy within, an extremely dangerous endeavor. Rune's actions could potentially disrupt the crystal's stable structure, causing all the cosmic energy within the crystal to be released in an instant, with consequences far more severe than a nuclear bombing.
However, Rune was careful enough. He first used magic, a relatively low-level energy, to try to explore the structure of the entire crystal before slowly absorbing the energy within it.
This energy is indeed of high quality and is absolutely qualified as fuel, but the way to obtain it is too slow. If the Ultimate Eraser is powered at this efficiency, it might only be able to fire once a month, which does not meet Rune's requirements.
I wouldn't say one shot every three minutes, but it should at least be one shot a day!
Rune sighed. He wasn't sure if increasing the extraction force would allow him to maintain the crystal's stability.
Alternatively, we could repair the outer shell of the Ultimate Eraser and insert cosmic energy crystals directly into it. As long as the outer shell can withstand the long-term erosion of cosmic energy, the cooling of the Ultimate Eraser can be significantly reduced.
However, this plan was also rejected by Rune. If he could find or make such a material, he would probably be able to kick upside-down people and punch Darkseid's true form.
So only one option remains: find a being that can utilize cosmic energy, then draw blood for a magical bloodline fusion—or simply ask them for advice.
