The Aether's Special Abilities
Only after the Aether had completely entered Xia Yu's body did Tmall's voice ring out in Xia Yu's mind again.
"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining the third Infinity Stones. The Aether is different from the previous stones; it absorbs power and attributes slowly within you. Although it may be a little slower than the previous two, it will not affect your freedom of movement, and there will be no adverse reactions."
"So, I just need to maintain normal behavior at all times?" Xia Yu asked.
"Yes, Master. After absorption, the energy in your body can materialize into any form of object, such as the Eighteen Subduing Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, or simply transform the energy into a weapon, etc."
"So that means I can create weapons at will? Without any restrictions?" Xia Yu then asked.
"No, it's just a means of attack. Different energy shapes can give the user better attack power in different situations, especially for ranged attacks. For example, turning energy into a sword and throwing it out is much more powerful than simply launching the energy."
Tmall explained again.
"Two questions. First, doesn't the Reality Stone have the ability to alter reality? Like turning lead into gold, or turning bullets in someone's gun into bubbles."
"Secondly, since it can't be turned into a handy weapon, how about rewarding me with an even more indestructible weapon?"
In Xia Yu's eyes, the Reality Stone's abilities were practically invincible, especially its ability to transform into anything it wanted—it was simply too overpowered.
"Master, you're probably overthinking it. Just like before, you won't immediately gain the full power of the gems. If you want to unleash their full potential, you'll need to collect all six gems and transform your soul into something akin to the Cosmic Origin. Only then can you use the gems' full power without any worries."
"As for weapons, the name 'Aether' is actually more in line with the properties of Reality Stone. The Dark Elves' use of the Aether is distorted. The Aether's greatest strength lies in its ability to transform into any Armor, such as armor or weapons. Therefore, keep this gem on your own person; it is the most suitable weapon for you."
Tmall explained it in great detail, but Xia Yu still needs to develop many specific things on his own. For example, the function of transforming into Armor, in addition to defense, Xia Yu also needs many other functions, such as flight.
So Xia Yu should try out the transformation weapon function of the Aether first.
Although Malekith was dead and the Nine-Star Alignment was gradually dissipating, several Kurse were still frantically attacking the Avengers, especially after Malekith's death, these Kurse went berserk.
These Kurse are incredibly powerful, impervious to injury and devoid of pain, but when it comes to actual defense, they are not particularly strong.
For example, in the movie, the powerful Kurse was attacking Thor when Loki pierced his body with a spear, but this attack had virtually no effect on the Kurse.
If Loki had stabbed him in the head, it would have been a completely different story.
So before Xia Yu even arrived at the battlefield, Aether gradually emerged from his hand, condensing into a dark red javelin, Xia Yu hurled at the one-armed Kurse from a great distance.
The Kurse and Captain Hawkeye Natasha fought for a long time, with the warrior losing an arm and relying solely on brute force in his attacks. Captain had long since figured out his fighting style.
The Captain can dodge seven or eight out of ten attacks; if all else fails, he can use his shield to take the hit.
Natasha and Hawkeye spotted their weakness and began attacking at a slower but more precise pace, targeting the same spot repeatedly.
For example, the joints in the legs, etc.
Kurse are indeed immune to injury, but if attacked in the right spot, their movements can still be impaired.
For example, thanks to Hawkeye and Natasha's tireless efforts, a fist-sized hole has been punched into the knee of this Kurse.
His movements became even more cumbersome; if it weren't for coordinating with their attacks, the Captain could have completely evaded them.
So when Xia Yu's javelin whistled through the air, the soldier had no chance to dodge it.
Indeed, it was difficult to dodge. Xia Yu's javelin was faster than the speed of sound, and it struck his head before the sound of it cutting through the air could be heard.
The powerful impact carried his body more than ten meters before embedding it in the outer wall of a building, blasting a large crater in the wall.
The Kurse was, of course, dead beyond any doubt.
With a wave of his hand, Xia Yu sent the javelin flying back into Xia Yu body as a dark red mist.
The Captain and the other two were not at all surprised that the Aether had become Xia Yu's weapon; after all, there were many other amazing things about Xia Yu.
Besides, the battle isn't over yet. What's there to be curious about? Ask later.
Of the four Kurse, one was killed by Hela's flying sword, and Xia Yu killed the other.
Two more are being attacked by Tony and Falcon, and Thor and Hulk.
Xia Yu's arrival made the battle exceptionally easy.
Watching Xia Yu easily take down the last two enemies.
Tony watched enviously as a long spear in Xia Yu's hand turned into dark red mist and disappeared.
He sighed and said, "I should add some melee weapon programming to my Armor. If my Armor could turn into a weapon, I could take care of all these guys by myself."
Xia Yu had no doubt about Tony's words. For example, if the Kurse who beat Thor had been given Stormbreaker instead of his hammer, Thor probably wouldn't have had to wait for Loki to ambush him and save him.
For monsters like this that are impervious to injury and have no sense of pain, blunt force blows are never as satisfying as sharp weapons cutting through their bodies, unless you smash them to pieces with a single blow, like Malekith.
As if time had been set, the battle on everyone's side had just ended, and the several wormholes in the sky slowly dissipated.
The Nine-Star Alignment has finally come to a complete end.
Instead of leaving, everyone plopped down on the ground, basking in the post-battle sunshine.
In Hell, Hela, having just cleansed her body, still faintly smelled a nauseating odor emanating from it.
He reached out and summoned countless great swords that pierced the clouds, slaying countless innocent souls in Hell with a single strike.
"The day I get out of here, I will definitely slice you into a skeleton, one sword at a time."
"Odin!~!~! Let's see how long you can keep me trapped..." Hela's voice was filled with endless anger and hatred.
Odin, who was already somewhere on Earth, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xia Yu, unaware that Hela's hatred for him had innately led her to master the cruel torture of slow slicing.
He was sitting on the ground, carefree, using Aether to conjure a flower for Natasha.
