The fairly clever Venom formed a snug Combat Suit around Alvin's body, with countless Rune Ios creating intricate, mysterious patterns across it.
Rune Io was a rune that enhanced physical attributes. A normal one could increase stamina by 10 points...
Venom's knockoff runes definitely weren't as effective as the genuine article, but he had the advantage of sheer numbers...
The moment the Combat Suit took shape, Alvin's condition began to improve. The explosive energy of the Power Stone was still destroying his cells, but it no longer seemed quite so unbearable...
With several parasites and Summoned Creatures sharing the burden, Alvin's body became a vessel for the Power Stone.
Everyone in Asgard saw it: a vast swath of silver-blue crackling lightning lit up one end of the Bifrost, and kept spreading.
Alvin watched as the lightning was about to reach the Bifrost. He knew that if he didn't release all that energy, Asgard would be the one to suffer...
No one could have imagined that Alvin would grab the Power Stone with his bare hands...
The Power Stone was a natural energy amplifier. Any energy that passed through it would be magnified and transformed...
Give it a drop of water, and it might spit out a drop of lava...
Anyone of ordinary constitution who touched the Power Stone would be torn to pieces by its explosive energy. That was the only possible outcome...
Injured as he was, Alvin still didn't meet the standard for casually grabbing the Power Stone. But if his body wasn't enough, he could make up for it with runes...
Having found the key, Alvin sensed that, as the Power Stone's vessel, he could direct the course of its attacks.
The immense energy that was constantly trying to tear his body apart needed an outlet.
