Chapter 470
But... that's the future!
Madelyne Pryor hasn't done anything yet, so why should I consider her a villain?
Putting aside preconceived notions and the villainous filter, the question returns to Su Quan's words: do you believe that fate can be changed?
If you believe that fate can be changed, you shouldn't stop Madelyne Pryor.
If you don't believe that fate can be changed, then what's the point of all the people you've saved and the things you've changed over the years?
The future is unchangeable; all efforts are in vain!
Wait, my stopping them has nothing to do with whether the future will change, but rather that I don't want the Goblin Force to bring disaster to the Multiverse.
You almost got me into a trap.
America Chavez scoffed, "I believe the future can be changed, but that has nothing to do with me stopping you. What I want to stop is the Goblin Force wreaking havoc on the Multiverse!"
"You're overthinking it. You have no power to stop us."
Su Quan chuckled and said, "But since you believe the future can be changed, then you can come find me when you're being hunted down!"
"Since you helped me find the Goblin Force, I'll save you this once!"
"I'm being hunted down? What do you mean by that?" America Chavez asked, frowning.
"What do you mean? Hehe, you'll find out when the time comes!" Su Quan pointed to his eyes and released his Psychic Abilities once again.
"Buzz!"
The moment the Psychic Abilities invaded, the sound of battle rewards dropping immediately rang out.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Repair Spatial Rift (America Chavez)"
"Ability acquired!"
Su Quan smiled slightly, erased her memories of the Goblin Force, and then waved his hand to send her out of the Pocket Space.
Immediately afterwards, a bright light appeared beneath his feet, and he, with Madelyne Pryor in his arms, was transported to Universe 1298, the realm of Goblin Force, in the fading light.
The vast galaxy shimmers with light.
This is Madelyne Pryor's first time leaving Earth and venturing into the vast universe.
A faint, almost invisible force field emanated from Su Quan, enveloping her and protecting her from the influence of the cosmic environment.
Seeing her curiosity, Su Quan smiled and asked, "Do you know Earth's cosmic coordinates?"
Madelyne Pryor shook her head.
Su Quan coughed a few times on purpose and then began to explain the science with a smile.
"Laniakea Supercluster, Virgo Cluster, Local Group, Milky Way, House Arm, Gould Belt, Local Bubble, Local Interstellar Cloud, Oort Cloud, Third Planet of the Solar System, Earth."
Madelyne Pryor blinked; though she didn't understand, she was deeply shocked!
Let's get back to the main topic.
Su Quan put away his smile and said seriously to Madelyne Pryor, "In a moment, release your Psychic Power and you will feel an evil and hungry consciousness. This consciousness is the Goblin Force."
"It will erode your Willpower and try to control you. You must persevere and then turn the tables and control it, making it your strength."
"Yes," Madelyne Pryor nodded.
Su Quan smiled immediately and patted her on the shoulder, "I believe you will definitely succeed!"
"I will not betray my master's trust." Madelyne Pryor did not hesitate or waver at all. When she said she believed, she truly believed.
"Buzz!"
Madelyne Pryor released her Psychic Abilities and her senses.
Within seconds, she sensed that consciousness, and her expression immediately turned serious.
"Gurgle..." Her stomach rumbled with hunger.
Madelyne Pryor's eyes glazed over, she seemed deaf to everything, and gradually emanated a powerful, malevolent aura.
Black energy emerged around her body, in clumps like thick ink, eventually forming a giant bat shape behind her.
This bat is entirely black; just looking at it evokes an indescribable sense of evil and awe.
The Goblin Force is represented by bats, the Phoenix Force by phoenixes, and among the three great powers, only the Chaos Force seems to lack a clear symbolic totem.
"Boom!"
A tremendous surge of power erupted from Madelyne Pryor's body. Madelyne Pryor's eyes snapped open, now pitch black and deep.
The Biological Field that Su Quan used to protect her had long been broken through by the Goblin Force. Sensing the increasingly strong and terrifying aura emanating from her, Su Quan remained silent and waited quietly.
Although he knew that Madelyne Pryor would become the host of Goblin Force in the comics, that Madelyne Pryor might not be the same Madelyne Pryor this one!
Su Quan wasn't entirely confident about success; his only certainty was that he could guarantee Madelyne Pryor's safety should she fail.
"Master, I'm so hungry!"
Madelyne Pryor stared straight at Su Quan with her dark eyes. The same words that used to sound sweet and obedient now carried a sinister and gloomy tone.
Especially the slightly twitching corners of her mouth, coupled with that "I'm so hungry," made it seem as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Hungry?
Should we just bear with it for now?
Su Quan asked in a deep voice, "Can you control the Goblin Force?"
Madelyne Pryor nodded and explained, "It doesn't seem to be the complete form, only a part of its consciousness. I can use its power, and it can also subtly influence me."
"However, I used my Psychic Abilities to warn myself, so that I could come to my senses if things went wrong."
Su Quan breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the nearby starry river, which showed no signs of abnormality. "The Goblin Force has not yet truly broken free from its seal, so the power you can use and its influence on you are still limited."
"However, this is enough..."
From the very beginning, he never intended for Madelyne Pryor to truly obtain this Goblin Force; after all, wild ones are never as well-behaved as domesticated ones.
Taking the Phoenix Force and Speed Force as examples, the Goblin Force that I obtained from Madelyne Pryor will most likely transform into my own Goblin Force.
Although the Goblin Force in the comics has a relatively singular host, it doesn't mean it can't split like the Phoenix Force.
Su Quan's plan was to first get Madelyne Pryor to obtain Goblin Force, and then extract Goblin Force from her himself.
Then...
It devoured the Goblin Force.
Unlike the Phoenix Force Goblin Force, which involves authority over future life force, the Phoenix Force is too dispersed and can only be dealt with gradually.
Goblin Force is much simpler. There is only one Goblin Force in the entire Multiverse, and it is sealed. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Goblin Force (Madelyne Pryor)"
Su Quan casually patted her head, unleashing his Goblin Force.
She didn't react much; it seems that apart from the hunger granted by the Goblin Force, she wasn't affected in any way.
Speaking of hunger, it's really intense. After summoning the Goblin Force and transforming it into the essence of Goblin Force, Su Quan felt an indescribable hunger.
Simply put, he wants to eat everything he sees right now, but thanks to the influence of the Phoenix Force and other energies, this hunger isn't really affecting him yet.
In addition, to Su Quan's surprise, the Phoenix Force and the Goblin Force seemed to have produced some kind of special chemical reaction.
What are the characteristics of Goblin Force?
Devour!
Whether it's the Phoenix Force, other energies, planets, stars, or cosmic creatures, it can devour them all.
Once absorbed, they can be used to generate that energy.
The energy absorbed by the Goblin Force can be transformed into the Phoenix Force to store life force for future life.
To put it perhaps inappropriately, the Goblin Force represents death, while the Phoenix Force represents life. Possessing both the Phoenix Force and the Goblin Force allows one to freely switch between the energies of life and death, creating a cycle between them.
One hand is life, the other hand is death.
The cycle repeats itself, with life and death entirely in Su Quan's hands!
Su Quan subconsciously sensed the Chaos Force, which was one of the three major forces. Unfortunately, the Chaos Force seemed unable to intervene in the cycle of the other two forces.
Besides devouring, the Goblin Force, like the Phoenix Force, also possesses several core abilities.
It possesses a terrifying ability to Reality Warping, an ability that extends to a cosmic scale.
It can manipulate the arrangement of molecules at will, and achieve a manipulation range on the scale of the universe.
It is proficient in all forms of witchcraft and can create spells that have never been recorded before.
Its mental defenses are impenetrable, and it can freely read or control the minds of others. It also possesses powerful telepathic abilities.
In terms of ability, it seems to overlap with and be inferior to the Phoenix Force. However, for Su Quan, ability is never a choice between two. When the two are combined, the power is incomparable to that of a single ability!
