Chapter 131

Therefore, the Yellow Crystal Wishing Stone's ability to strip Diana of her power was not entirely due to the God of Lies Duke of Deception, but mainly due to the power of the universal element of lies.

Of course, its Wish Power isn't that strong; it can't fulfill some wishes that exceed its limits, and it needs to proceed gradually.

Just like Diana's power didn't disappear instantly, but after Steve Trevor was resurrected, she gradually became addicted to this 'lie,' and her power slowly faded away!

PS: I saw some brothers asking about the infinite nesting doll thing, so let me explain. Serums and weapons can be infinitely nested and farmed. Because these items are on a certain character, the system will determine that they belong to that character, so they can be farmed and dropped infinitely.

Because these are classified as 'equipment' rather than abilities in the system's settings, including serum, which is also in the 'equipment' category, as mentioned earlier.

Abilities can't be infinitely nested; each person's ability can only be dropped once. For example, with Odinforce, Thor can drop it once, and Stormbreaker Thor in the Zombie world can also drop it once.

Although each person can only fall once, the same power can be stacked.

In short, even if the Wish Power is only at the level of a single universe or even just the level of a planet, it is far more effective and expressive in terms of putting on airs and showing off than many powerful physical abilities!

Besides the Wish Power, Barbara Minerva also lost a lot of basic abilities and Points in the battle with the armed forces just now, especially the basic abilities, which is equivalent to getting Diana's power again without divine power.

The basic capabilities in all aspects have been enhanced by 'one person's strength'!

In terms of sheer power, with the combined Super Strength of so many people, I wonder if they could shatter a planet if they went all out?

Or, when we have time, could we try it on a different planet?

Thinking this, Su Quan looked at Barbara Minerva and Maxwell Lorenzano.

Maxwell Lorenzano has become the vessel for the Yellow Crystal Wishing Stone, making it virtually impossible for Barbara Minerva to reclaim Yellow Crystal Wishing Stone for herself.

"Tell me what you want—money? Power? Or strength? Whatever you desire, as long as you make a wish to me, I can grant it!"

Maxwell Lorenzano lay disheveled in the yellow sand, clutching the feet that were stepping on him, passionately urging the other person to make a wish for him.

Barbara Minerva had no idea that he had become the Wishing Stone itself. With a condescending sneer, she said, "You think making a wish to you will make it come true? Heh, fine, then my wish is for you to hand over the Wishing Stone!"

Maxwell Lorenzano, who had been smug and confident, was horrified when he heard Barbara Minerva's casual 'wish' and immediately released her foot.

As Wishing Stone, the wishing mechanism will be activated as long as you touch it directly and make a wish.

While Maxwell Lorenzano can decide what to take from the wisher, he cannot decide when the wish-making mechanism is activated or deactivated.

Therefore, since he can make a wish to become the Wishing Stone itself, others can naturally make a wish for him to hand over the Wishing Stone.

However, the original vessel of the Wishing Stone has turned to ashes. He is now the human form of the Wishing Stone. In other words, he may be transformed back into the original vessel, namely Crystal, because of this wish!

How could Maxwell Lorenzano not be terrified and panicked?

No!!! You can't—you—uh—you really can't!

Maxwell Lorenzano's angry shouts took an abrupt turn almost immediately.

"You've already made a wish. Everyone can only make one wish. Your wish failed. Great, great, hahaha!"

What does it mean to turn adversity into opportunity?

That's it!

Maxwell Lorenzano, who thought he was doomed, couldn't help but burst into wild laughter. If he hadn't been trampled on, he would have knelt down and shouted "Holy Maria!" a few times!

As for why he called her the Virgin Maria? He couldn't possibly be right; perhaps it just came to mind!

Barbara Minerva frowned and stared coldly at him, slowly pressing down on her foot. "Are you fucking an idiot?! You're yelling like a madman! Tell me, where's the Wishing Stone?!"

"Cough cough—it's right here, right in front of me," Maxwell Lorenzano said, both pained and triumphant.

So close at hand?

Barbara Minerva looked him up and down, but couldn't see any way he could be hiding Wishing Stone on his person.

"It's me! I am the Wishing Stone, Wishing Stone is me!"

"Your power is your wish, isn't it? I can help you. You can't make a wish, but I can transfer the power I receive to you, making you stronger!"

"If you want to become stronger, if you don't want to lose your current power, you must protect me! If something happens to me, your power will disappear too!"

Barbara Minerva's expression changed slightly after Maxwell Lorenzano's words. She absolutely could not lose her power, absolutely!

"Hurry up and pull me up!" Maxwell Lorenzano shouted smugly.

Barbara Minerva hesitated for a moment with an unpleasant expression, then withdrew her foot from his.

Are you going to betray me?

A calm voice rang out, Barbara Minerva stiffened slightly, shaking her head to look at Su Quan, who had a calm expression.

"I... I didn't. You must have heard me. It's the Wishing Stone now. I can give it to you, but can you really grant me greater power?"

Su Quan looked up at her. "Are you questioning me?"

Barbara Minerva's eyes flickered, but she ultimately yielded and lowered her head.

Although she craves power and doesn't want to lose it, she is merely indulging in it, not losing her mind. Even if she did lose her mind, Su Quan would bring her back to her senses.

So she now knew very well that the irrational thoughts she had just had, fueled by Maxwell Lorenzano's encouragement, vanished instantly.

Strength is important, or—more important!

Su Quan nodded slightly in satisfaction, reached out and put his hand on her back, and said with a soft laugh, "Your wish just now was very interesting. Make it again."

"Each person can only make one wish—"

"Just grant my request!"

"All right."

Barbara Minerva nodded and looked at Maxwell Lorenzano to make another wish.

Maxwell Lorenzano had already stood up. He glanced arrogantly at Su Quan and sneered dismissively, "I am the Wishing Stone. No one understands the mechanism of the Wishing Stone better than me. A person can only make one wish, and there is no direct contact."

"If she can make her wish come true, I—" Maxwell Lorenzano, confident as he was, hadn't finished his boastful words when a sudden gust of wind swept around him.

This is a sign that your wish will come true.

"No, it can't be—I clearly didn't hear her wish, why—why is this happening?"

Maxwell Lorenzano was being tossed about by the strong wind, almost unable to open his eyes, but his eyes remained fixed on Su Quan.

He was the one who made Barbara Minerva make the wish again; he must know something or have done something.

"Why, why???"

Maxwell Lorenzano's last voice rang out amidst the howling wind.

Immediately afterwards, his body turned into ashes in the raging wind.

"Buzz!"

A flash of bright light, and the gale dissipated.

Maxwell Lorenzano is gone, and in the yellow sand stands a brand new Yellow Crystal Wishing Stone.

"How... how could this have happened?" Barbara Minerva turned to Su Quan in shock, asking incredulously, "What did you do? Why did my wish not come true just now, but it did now?"

"I clearly made a wish once, but I clearly didn't meet him!"

Su Quan chuckled and patted Barbara Minerva on the back, then used his Telekinesis to retrieve the Yellow Crystal Wishing Stone from his hand. "Who said you made a wish to it? Just now, you were making a wish to me!"

"Make a wish to you?"

"You... you can grant wishes too?"

Barbara Minerva was incredibly surprised, then excitedly asked, "Is it true that each person can only make one wish? Will I still have a chance to wish for becoming stronger?"

"We'll see how you do."

Su Quan gave a perfunctory reply and teleported her back home.

Su Quan opened a dimensional space and threw the Yellow Crystal Wishing Stone inside. He then used his Psychic Abilities to project the image of the Golden Eagle Armor into Barbara Minerva's mind.

"Find it."

"Ah, okay, I'll go find it right away."

The image that suddenly appeared in her mind made Barbara Minerva pause for a few seconds, then she nodded excitedly and turned to leave in a hurry.

Barbara Minerva didn't get any benefits from Su Quan; on the contrary, she had to do things for him. But the thought that he could make her stronger made her feel no regrets and full of energy.

After Barbara Minerva left, Su Quan devoted himself to studying the Wish Power.

Although the Wishing Stone and the Wish Power originate from the same source, they are independent of each other. The same person can make a wish once to the Wishing Stone and once to the Wish Power.

Furthermore, the biggest difference between Wishing Stone and the Wish Power is autonomy.

The Wishing Stone's operating mechanism was set up by the God of Lies to Duke of Deception, and there are two ways to fulfill a wish.

One approach is similar to robbing Peter to pay Paul, or like the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, where the two are interchanged.

Simply put, if someone makes a wish and their health is taken away, and then another person wishes for health, the Wishing Stone will give them health but take away something else from them, and so on, in the same way.

Once Maxwell Lorenzano becomes the Wishing Stone itself, he can freely decide what to take or who to give it to!

In the movie, Barbara Minerva was able to transform into her Cheetah after making a wish because he transferred the power from the other wishers to her!

Another method is to use the power of the universal element, the power of lies, to fulfill one's wishes.
