Chapter 471
On paper, Su Quan is undoubtedly at the Multiverse level, but he still needs to spend some time and effort figuring out his combat experience and ability application.
"I will devour the Goblin Force within you, and through its consciousness, devour its sealed original power. The process may be somewhat painful, so do not resist or be affected by it."
Su Quan explained his purpose to Madelyne Pryor, then activated his Goblin Force, and a black energy tinged with green enveloped her...
Devour!
In an instant, the Goblin Force within Madelyne Pryor was frantically devoured and absorbed by the external Goblin Force, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of it was gone.
"Is the absorption effect so good because it's all due to the Goblin Force?"
Su Quan was somewhat surprised by the devouring effect of the Goblin Force. After all, the Phoenix Force and the ability to simply Absorb Energy could both achieve the effect of 'devouring' other energies, only slightly inferior to the Goblin Force.
However, the devouring effect that the Goblin Force is currently exhibiting is truly unreasonable. Apart from the fact that they share the same origin, Su Quan can't think of any other reason.
Having had most of its energy devoured in an instant, the Goblin Force within Madelyne Pryor finally reacted, became anxious, and began to devour back.
Unfortunately, it was only the power of consciousness, and Su Quan's devouring was not simply the devouring of Goblin Force.
With one side gaining at the expense of the other, the outcome is predictable.
In just a few seconds, Madelyne Pryor's Goblin Force was almost completely devoured, and then she began to frantically mobilize the power of her sealed body.
It replenishes a little, and Su Quan devours a little, and so on, until the situation becomes somewhat deadlocked.
Madelyne Pryor, on the other hand, is suffering greatly. She is now just a tool for storing energy, being replenished by one and devoured by the other. The stalemate and tug-of-war between the two sides is causing her great pain.
Sweating profusely and trembling, Madelyne Pryor gritted her teeth and remained silent, enduring the pain in silence.
The Goblin Force was somewhat stubborn. Despite its inefficiency in devouring and its energy constantly decreasing, it refused to stop and refused to give up Madelyne Pryor as its host.
As long as it stops Possession Madelyne Pryor, Su Quan will have no medium and will naturally be unable to continue devouring her.
But it just wouldn't give up!
Su Quan felt that it did not want to give up the opportunity to break free from the seal. In its current state, if it broke free from Madelyne Pryor, it would probably never have the chance to find another host again.
The seal set up by the Celestials was incredibly effective; for the Goblin Force, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Being sealed away is no different from extinction.
"Bang!"
An invisible energy exploded within Madelyne Pryor, and surging tides crashed outwards, causing the surrounding space... no, it should be said that the entire universe trembled under the force of this power.
Cracks, some purple and some black, appeared in the empty Milky Way. If you looked closely, you could even see figures in the tear stains.
Su Quan knew that they were people from other universes.
The Goblin Force used its last bit of power to detonate itself. Its power, combined with the power of the sealed Celestials that was blasted away, caused the barrier between Parallel Universes to shatter, thus revealing the presence of other universes.
If the cracks are not repaired, they will grow larger, leading to two consequences.
One possibility is that people from Parallel Universes will come to this universe through a rift.
Second, as time goes by and the cracks widen, the space of this universe will be compressed by other universes, eventually leading to the collision of multiple universes and causing this universe to disappear completely.
And then...
If we're lucky, the other universes will remain peaceful, which is equivalent to having one less Parallel Universe.
If things go wrong, the chain reaction could lead to the destruction of multiple universes!
Could this be considered Multiverse catastrophe caused by the Goblin Force?
Despite the situation, Su Quan remained calm and collected, withdrawing his Goblin Force and savoring the fullness and strength he felt after absorbing another portion of Goblin Force. He nodded slightly in satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, the Goblin Force and Phoenix Force within his body exerted their power simultaneously, beginning to absorb the remaining energy in the galaxy.
"Hmm..." Madelyne Pryor groaned weakly as Su Quan waved his hand, diverting a portion of his Goblin Force into her body.
With the Goblin Force entering her body, Madelyne Pryor's condition instantly improved considerably, and she instinctively began to devour the remaining energy drifting in the galaxy.
Su Quan sensed something and glanced in a certain direction.
Deep in this direction, a large-headed man dressed in blue is staring blankly in this direction.
This is... The Watcher of this world!
Su Quan was no stranger to the Watcher. He had dealt with the Watcher Uatu in his own world before, though briefly, but he had still managed to acquire the ability.
Moreover, he is very eager for the core abilities of the Uatu.
Cosmic Energy and Energy Conversion.
Unfortunately, not every the Watcher is called Uatu, nor does every the Watcher possess Uatu's abilities. Uatu can be considered the strongest among the Watcher.
"The Watcher of this world, what is your name?" Su Quan asked the other party through his Psychic Abilities.
And then, that was it.
This the Watcher was very honest, or rather, very dutiful. He said he was observing, and even though Su Quan had already discovered him, he showed no intention of responding or intervening.
Su Quan asked a few more questions, but seeing that the Watcher had no intention of responding, he lost interest and stopped paying attention.
"Buzz!"
Su Quan waved his hand, and a ball of bright white energy surged toward the spatial rift as he waved it.
As this energy surged in, the spatial rift began to shrink rapidly and heal.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzzing: 'Water!? Novel'.; Group!"
Su Quan made a series of moves, and clusters of bright white energy surged toward the other cracks.
In the blink of an eye, all the cracks shrank and disappeared!
A potential Multiverse- level catastrophe was thus averted and dissolved thanks to the restoration efforts of several clusters of bright white energy.
Incidentally, while Su Quan effortlessly repaired the spatial rift with a few bursts of energy, America Chavez wouldn't have done it so easily or quickly.
Repairing spatial rifts cannot be done out of thin air; it requires both ability and energy.
Because of his abilities, Su Quan is constantly Absorb Energy, though it's not usually apparent. In addition, with the power of the Three Great Forces and the Power of Divinity, as well as other abilities that can generate energy, he has so much energy in his body that he has nowhere to put it.
What she just consumed was just a drop in the ocean for her, having almost no impact whatsoever.
Su Quan turned to look at Madelyne Pryor, who had a delighted expression, and asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"
"Very good!"
"The Goblin Force you gave me is a little different from the one before. Apart from the feeling of hunger, I can't feel any other effects, and I can feel that the power is stronger now!"
While continuing to devour her food, Madelyne Pryor excitedly explained, "I have a feeling that, if you agree, I can mobilize all the Goblin Force, including the power within you!"
"Besides..."
"Every time I absorb energy, a portion of it automatically flows into the essence of the Goblin Force, which is you!"
Su Quan nodded in understanding. He had been absorbing power before, so he hadn't felt it clearly. Now that he had stopped, he could feel a faint energy appearing from time to time.
The remaining energy of the Goblin Force was not much, and it was quickly exhausted by Su Quan and Madelyne Pryor.
It was clear that Madelyne Pryor was not satisfied and wanted to continue absorbing the power of the galaxy, but she held back without Su Quan's permission.
But... the Watcher in the distance made her unable to resist.
In her 'perception,' The Watcher contains a wealth of energy, and it's quite delicious!
Madelyne Pryor's undisguised, direct gaze made even the seemingly wooden the Watcher in the distance shudder involuntarily, and then with a whoosh, she vanished.
"What a pity..." Madelyne Pryor murmured.
Su Quan chuckled and patted her, saying, "Stop looking. You may be hungry, but I don't want you to become a puppet controlled by hunger."
Madelyne Pryor shook her head. "No, I just think it's a bit of a shame, his energy must taste delicious."
"He is the Watcher, a powerful and special race in the universe. They do not interfere in anything, but only record and observe."
Su Quan briefly explained the identity of the Watcher, then gave her a few warnings, telling her not to devour others without his permission, and then sent her back to the Void Island.
Su Quan himself returned to the world of the Gifted, back to his hotel room.
Lauren was still fast asleep. Su Quan didn't wake her. He lay down beside her and recalled what had just happened.
From acquiring Miss America Chavez's abilities to obtaining Goblin Force, absorbing Goblin Force, repairing spatial rifts, and so on, any one of these events would be considered a major event for most people.
But for me, it happened and ended without any ripples, with a touch of detachment, as if I waved goodbye without taking anything with me.
Although America Chavez's story has come to an end, they will certainly cross paths again in the near future.
We'll talk about the rest later. For now, Su Quan feels he can return to the new timeline.
Although the Apocalypse in the new timeline was resolved ahead of schedule, there are still some people who need to be recruited.
Summer comes and winter goes, and time flows like water.
It has been almost twenty years since Su Quan moved to Void Island with Lauren and her siblings and most of the Mutants from the underground organization.
Twenty years is but a fleeting moment for Su Quan, who has almost always indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun, enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives.
