Retching (Part 2)

Suddenly, the chaotic and dark energy went berserk, triggering a massive explosion that blasted down three or four meters into the ground of Greenwich Village's commercial street, sending the unsuspecting heroes flying.

Countless chaotic energies, like a powerful storm, began to sweep across everything. Steve exclaimed, "What's going on??? Has he gone mad?!"

Knull has indeed gone mad.

Because he finally realized that it was the person who had once argued with him who had stolen his hope of escaping his predicament.

What enraged him even more was that the robber not only lingered in front of him, dashing left and right, but also ran over and started cursing at him!

They used extremely offensive and abusive language!!

Frenzied!!

Knull had truly gone mad; he began recklessly unleashing the power of chaos and darkness, desperate to kill this damned bug.

As previously mentioned, Knull is a chaotic being born from the origin of the universe. He differs fundamentally from other Demon God in that he does not "believe in gods".

Knull does not rely on the faith of his followers to increase his power. Other Demon God, such as Mephisto, Setar'ak, or Dormammu, can increase their power through the faith of others.

However, Knull's power comes entirely from the origin of the universe, so even if all his followers, the Symbiote, betray him, he will only be trapped, not weakened.

Simply put, all his power fell from the sky; he possessed it without any effort.

That is why he is not stingy with his power like other Demon God. The chaotic power of the universe itself is endless. As long as chaos exists in the universe, Knull does not need to worry about using up his power.

Therefore, he didn't care how much power he wasted. Even when he discovered that the power loss during his transmission to Earth was astonishing, he didn't care at all, because he didn't need to cultivate this power painstakingly; he could just take it and use it at will.

Knull can be understood as a water pump. He doesn't produce water; he's just a water transporter. Therefore, he doesn't feel bad about wasting water because he neither needs to create it nor maintain it.

So, after being enraged, Knull went all out, frantically drawing upon the chaotic forces of the universe and sending them to Earth.

The surging chaotic forces, like a flood, rushed towards the Earth through pipes.

Rewind a few minutes. The Demon God who were meeting in the Asgard Palace had already left to dig holes in the pipes, leaving only Odin, Loki, the Ancient One, and Strange.

There's something strange about the relationship between these two groups. Ancient One is extremely satisfied with Strange. She had already planned that once this incident is over, she would pass the position of Sorcerer Supreme to Strange, so that she could roam the universe freely. This has always been the Ancient One's dream.

With this incident, the Ancient One was confident that she could leave behind a great deal of wealth for Earth. Coupled with Strange's intelligence, the Ancient One had no worries and was just waiting for her retirement date to come before she could retire gracefully.

Looking back on her life, the Ancient One is quite satisfied. Imagining her future retirement life makes Ancient One even happier. Therefore, she is in a very good mood and finds Strange particularly pleasing to the eye.

But Odin, the All-Father, had a much worse fate. First, his eldest son was unworthy and caused trouble, then refused to repent and was thrown to Earth where he disappeared without a trace.

Then came the prophecy of Ragnarok, the World Tree whose power was waning, and the Nine Realms accidents occurred frequently. Odin was like a cook with a colander, knowing full well that these problems couldn't be plugged, but he still had to bite the bullet and try to plug them anyway.

After the Demon God took their places in order, Odin and the Ancient One could also find a good spot to drill a hole in the pipe to trap the power.

Ancient One was extremely satisfied with Strange, so he devised a way to make a hole for Strange as well, so that he could also gain some power boost. Seeing this, Odin also made a hole for Loki.

Loki felt that he had been flattered more times today than in the past thousand years.

Logically speaking, even Loki's power level is not enough to intercept Knull's power, let alone Strange, who has only been learning magic for a few days. However, with a powerful figure providing a cheat, the two of them can just follow behind. At least a few minutes ago, the situation was quite stable.

The Demon God Greed absorbed the power that Knull had given them, and the Ancient One and Odin were not to be outdone. Even Strange and Loki were able to get a taste of the benefits.

But everything changed drastically in a single instant. Ancient One Yi shouted in a deep voice, "Stephen! Stop!"

Before Strange could react, the Ancient One waved her hand, stopping the Magic Circle in front of her. The instant the Magic Circle stopped, a surge of chaotic energy erupted in front of the Ancient One, and she flashed backward, landing steadily.

But Odin's situation was not so good. The All-Father, relying on the strength of the Asgard, cleaved a huge gash in the air with his axe. The hole he made for Loki was also quite large. When the Dark Force surged in, both father and son were knocked over.

Fortunately, Odin reacted quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the entire Asgard Palace was sealed off, and all the cracks were closed.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly erupt like that???"

Ancient One shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either, but then she analyzed and said, "I sensed anger in that power. Knull seems to have been provoked."

"Enraged? Who could possibly anger him?"

Ancient One shook his head again, but then he suddenly paused, muttering to himself, "This burst of power was rather sudden. Even you and I were almost injured. What about those weaker Demon God..."

Ancient One and Odin exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Their original plan was to drill holes in the water pipes to steal water. Although the water pressure in the pipes was not small, the water would spray out with force after the holes were drilled, but they were strong enough to handle the force.

But now, the situation has changed. The process has changed from stealing water from the tap to facing the Three Gorges Dam flood discharge. Knull, in his anger, recklessly unleashed his power, causing the pressure inside the pipe to be extremely high. Therefore, the force that erupted from those punched holes also carried an unparalleled and enormous impact.

Setar'ak was as steady as a mountain; this impact was nothing to his Crimson Dimension. Dormammu felt a bit uncomfortable, but he was never picky and would eat it if it was alright. Mephisto was initially startled, but quickly recovered and accepted whatever came his way.

The same applies to most other powerful Demon God. Although the incoming power is becoming increasingly chaotic and frenzied, it is only a bit of a nuisance to them. Even if they cannot digest it for a while, they can store it in their own dimension and decompose it slowly later.

However, this is not the case for those Demon God who are not powerful enough.

Many people know that a water jet is a tool with extremely strong destructive power. Water sprayed under high pressure has great destructive power, and the same can be said about the interception of chaotic forces.

The Demon God's Greed nature led them to disregard all safety rules when drilling holes, digging as big as they could.

When the violent power erupted with immense pressure, many lesser Demon God were caught completely off guard and had no way to defend themselves. They were directly engulfed by this violent power and died on the spot.

At this moment, the experienced Ancient One and Odin immediately guessed the situation on the field.

Loot dropped? What are you waiting for? Let's loot the corpse!

Ancient One was overjoyed. A whole bunch of people were swept away downstream of the pipe. Not only did they die one by one, but she didn't even have to kill them herself. What fell was not only the power of these little Demon God, but also the chaotic power that they had absorbed into their bodies. All of this benefited the Ancient One.

Compared to the Dimensional Demon God with excellent teeth who could eat anything, these digested powers were clearly more suitable for the Ancient One's human body.

The power that the madman Knull channeled was the chaotic power of the universe's origin, a level that many Demon God could not even reach. After the first wave of impact, in addition to those who died, many were seriously injured, and the Ancient One and Odin finished them off with a single strike.

Investors? I don't know them at all!

The full power of any Cosmic Demons is a great tonic. In the past, even when we were rich, we would only have one or two at a time. But this time, Cosmic Demons were lying all over the place, and soon, the Ancient One was stuffed.

But it doesn't matter. Ancient One is quite adept at this task. Once she has accumulated enough energy, she begins to give the remaining power to Strange, much like an eagle that has caught a huge prey, and after eating its fill, it feeds the meat to its offspring.

At this moment, Loki, who remained in the Asgard Palace, watched as Strange's body flashed and burst into flames, as various refined Magic Power and energy were poured into his body. Within a few minutes, Strange almost ascended to heaven in broad daylight.

For a short time, the energy surging within him was even stronger than that of Loki, who possessed divine authority.

Loki's eyes turned red with envy, but before he could offer any insincere congratulations to Strange, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, knocking Loki tumbling over.

"Father..." Loki was about to say something when another golden light shone, and pure energy was poured into Loki's body. Loki cried out in surprise, "All-Father! You..."

Before he could even shout it out, another golden light appeared, and then, as if in a competition, countless pure and powerful energies poured into Loki and Strange's bodies.

Ancient One and Odin, like two eagles, were fighting for the prize in front, while Strange and Loki, like two fledglings, were eating the meat behind them.

Originally, Odin's potential was much higher than that of the Ancient One in human form, but there were simply too many dead or half-dead Demon God, and too much chaotic power in their bodies that they had either digested or not fully digested. Before long, Odin also became overwhelmed.

Ancient One was feeding Strange, Odin, seeing how generous the Ancient One was to her student, figured it wouldn't be right not to feed Loki, who was his son. So he started showing off to Loki as well.

At first, Loki was overjoyed, partly because these powerful forces could greatly enhance his strength, and partly because Odin's attentive attitude was something he had never experienced before.

But soon, Strange and Loki stopped laughing.

As we all know, humans have limits. Ancient One poured a lot of power into Strange, but Strange was only human. Before long, he was already full. The magical power around him began to go out of control. Without its master, the power gradually dissipated into the universe.

Strange yelled, "Stop! Teacher, I..."

As a result, another surge of extremely refined energy poured down, and Strange felt as if he were being stretched into a balloon, his entire body filled with power. This uncontrollable power began to surge wildly within him, and Strange half-knelt down, groaning...

Loki gloated from the sidelines. Strange vomited after only absorbing such a small amount of power. Sure enough, the human physique is no match for the powerful gods.

But he soon realized he had been too happy.

Ancient One's transfer of power to Strange was carefully considered, and the power transferred to Strange was processed by the Ancient One. Even if the amount was a bit large, Strange did not need to digest it himself.

However, Odin's treatment of Loki was not so refined. The Asgardian's style has always been bold and decisive. At first, Odin struck down a Demon God with a bolt of lightning, taking seven points for himself, giving two points to Gungnir, and one point to Loki.

These powers were unprocessed, so to speak, they were tough to handle. Loki had to process them himself after receiving them.

Before Odin was full, it was fine, but after Odin was full, the portion that fell on Loki's head became seven-tenths.

If the Ancient One gave Strange a bowl of plain rice porridge, then Odin gave Loki a feast of scrambled eggs with pebbles. No matter how high Loki's potential as a god was, it was all for naught if his digestive system couldn't keep up. Before long, Loki was also kneeling on the ground, groaning...

The two chicks, who were starving, were so full that they vomited. But the Ancient One and Odin's scavenging journey was not even halfway done. With most of the dropped items still scattered on the ground, it would be a waste not to pick them up.

It doesn't matter if the biological ones vomit, aren't there other free-range ones? Ancient One took out her phone and started calling people from Kamar-Taj. A few minutes later, one after another, colorful rays of light descended from the sky above the Himalayan Mountains.

Before long, all the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj were lying on the ground, and the king, leaning against a pillar, clutched his neck like a drunkard, groaning, "Ugh..."

Odin was not to be outdone. All the gods of Asgard gathered around the Asgard Palace, and soon, countless golden lights descended from the Asgard Palace.

At first, the gods of Asgard loudly praised the Allfather's generosity, but soon they began to wail. Heimdall, leaning against a pillar of the Asgard Palace, cried out, "Wait!! All-Father!! It's truly..."

"Vomit..."

As it turns out, not only humans, but even gods have limits.

It's not that this power is so abundant that it would overwhelm everyone in Asgard, but like Loki's problem, this power also needs to be digested by the gods. Before the first wave of power was fully digested, the second wave came. After more than a dozen waves, even the gods couldn't handle it.

Looking at the remaining half of the debris in the universe, and then back at the creatures that had been stretched out of their shells, Ancient One and Odin exchanged a glance.

Waste is shameful, CD are honorable. Let's find a warehouse and start moving them.
