The Power Stone Became a Power Bank! Ancient One Called Him a Monster!

Kamar-Taj.

Unbeknownst to Ren, he had inadvertently eliminated an alien warlord and, incidentally, rendered the entire Avengers despondent.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. There's nothing wrong with letting these superheroes experience the cruelty of the Universe ahead of time.

After dealing with Ronan, Ren returned to the Sanctum with the main force of Sorcerers.

He had planned to go back to his dorm and get a good night's sleep, then spend more time in the Library grinding for experience points the next day.

As soon as he landed, Mordo hurriedly summoned him to the Sorcerer Supreme's Tea Room.

Push open the wooden door.

The Ancient One, still dressed in a plain white robe, sat cross-legged on a futon, slowly flipping through an ancient Magic book, with steam rising from the teapot beside her.

"Come here, sit down." Ancient One didn't even look up.

Ren stepped forward and sat down respectfully opposite him.

"Sorcerer Supreme, is there something you need from me?"

"There's something I'd like to hear your opinion on." Ancient One put down the ancient book and raised her eyes.

"Please give your orders," Ren nodded in response.

"What do you think should be done with this gem?"

Ancient One casually flipped his palm.

A purple gemstone, emitting a faint, ethereal glow, lay quietly in her fair palm.

Ren's heart skipped a beat.

Power Stone!

This is Infinity Stones that could blast a mortal to ashes with a mere touch! Yet in the Ancient One's hands, it's like an ordinary plastic toy, without the slightest hint of its violent power.

This is the terrifying power of the Sorcerer Supreme!

Unfathomable!

Ren swallowed hard and tentatively suggested, "Why don't we send it away? To Xandar, and put it under the strict guard of the Nova Corps?"

Ancient One glanced at him and gently shook his head.

"The Nova Corps can't protect a treasure of this caliber. Sending it over will only bring them annihilation."

The Ancient One spoke calmly. The Nova Corps was considered decent among ordinary civilizations, but in front of Universal Overlord like Thanos, they didn't even qualify as cannon fodder.

"Then... should we leave the Power Stone in Kamar-Taj?" Ren pressed.

"That's a good suggestion. Let's do it your way."

Ancient One nodded in satisfaction and flicked his wrist.

The purple Power Stone traced an arc through the air and flew directly towards Ren.

"Why!"

Ren was startled and hurriedly caught the gem.

He touched it and found it smooth and warm to the touch, without the violent backlash he had imagined. Only then did he realize that the Ancient One must have placed a seal on the gem beforehand.

Ren gave a wry smile; it seemed the big boss had already decided to make him the custodian.

"Sorcerer Supreme, isn't it inappropriate to hand over this hot potato to me?"

"Perfectly suited."

Ancient One picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"As long as you don't become addicted to its power, it's safest to keep it with you."

"Ren, remember this. If you want to reach the pinnacle of Magic, you must never rely on external things. The power of the Infinity Stones is immense, but it will corrupt your will and assimilate your rules."

"The stronger you are, the greater the danger of being assimilated."

Ancient One's tone became very serious. "Of course, this can also be considered an ultimate form of power. It all depends on how you choose to use it."

After hearing the Ancient One's warning, Ren suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the top Universal Overlord in the Marvel Universe don't usually carry the Infinity Stones with them; instead, they leave them to gather dust in deserted corners.

To say that these big shots can't find the gem's location is pure nonsense.

The only explanation is that they knew perfectly well what was going on.

Although this thing is incredibly powerful, it is entirely detrimental to one's cultivation.

"Alright, put it away."

"Step down."

Ancient One casually gave an instruction, then lowered her head again to peruse the ancient book.

Ren bowed respectfully, turned and left the Tea Room.

The moment the wooden door closed, Ancient One slowly raised her head.

Looking in the direction where Ren had left, his eyes were full of expectation.

She had long considered Ren as the next leader of Kamar-Taj.

Now, she was eager to see how this young man would choose when faced with the temptation of the purest power in the Universe.

Return to your own private room.

Ren sat cross-legged on the bed, playing with the Power Stone in his hand.

This thing is indeed domineering. Even with the Ancient One's seal, he could still feel the terrifying energy reserves inside, like a star exploding.

However, remembering the teachings of the Sorcerer Supreme, Ren would never actively seek to draw upon its power.

Just then...

"Bite!"

"The system has detected the fundamental energy of the Universe!"

"Start automatic parsing of underlying Laws!"

"Analysis progress: 10%...50%...100%!"

"Ding! Analysis of the fundamental Laws of the world complete!"

"The host's chances of all Magic undergoing beneficial mutations have been permanently increased!"

"When all Magic is cast, it will automatically receive the blessing of the Power Stone's Laws, resulting in an unlimited amplification of its destructive power!"

A series of crisp Electronic Voice exploded in my mind.

Ren was completely stunned.

Can Infinity Stones be used like this?

No need for me to do anything, the system just uses it as a high-level Laws bank! That's awesome!

If I could find a chance to borrow the other five Infinity Stones and study them thoroughly, wouldn't I be able to roam freely throughout the Multiverse?

Ren was secretly pleased with himself, but the surprises weren't over yet.

"Bite!"

"[The Vishanti's Holy Sword] has keenly detected the scent of a top-tier energy source!"

"[The Vishanti's Holy Sword] has begun to frantically devour the overflowing Laws of the Power Stone!"

"Energy reserves have reached saturation, triggering the ultimate fusion mutation!"

"[Vishanti's Holy Sword] has successfully mutated into: [Vishanti's Power Sword]!"

Holy crap!

Ren's eyes suddenly lit up in a frightening way.

It's like having a fortune fall into your lap while you're sitting at home! The Sorcerer Supreme is practically his super-powerful money-giving boy!

I must find a reason to borrow the Time Stone hanging around her neck and touch it a couple of times sometime.

With a thought, Ren loosely clenched his right hand.

Buzz!

A Magic longsword formed instantly from pure Crystal took shape.

After absorbing the Laws of the Power Stone, the originally platinum-colored Lightsaber underwent a complete transformation.

The sword's blade was crystal clear, with purple energy flowing within it like ripples on water.

Putting aside its lethality, just looking at its stylish appearance is incredibly flashy.

Ren stroked the sword with obvious affection. He had long known that the Vishanti Magic was definitely his most flashy trump card.

At the same time.

Tea Room, separated by several courtyards.

The Ancient One was secretly observing Ren's every move using her Psychic Power.

When she saw Ren summon the purple Lightsaber as soon as he returned to the house, the Ancient One's eyes dimmed instantly, revealing a deep sense of disappointment.

Indeed, I was still too young.

Faced with the supreme power of the Universe, mortals are simply unable to control themselves, quickly losing their minds and beginning to actively absorb the energy of the gemstone.

"Sigh... Luckily we discovered it early, and we can still forcibly correct his course."

Ancient One and muttered to himself.

She was just about to get up and go to Ren's room.

With a casual glance, Ancient One froze instantly.

Clatter

The precious ancient Magic book in her hand fell to the ground. The Ancient One's mouth gradually opened wide, completely losing her usual composure.

"Wrong!"

"This isn't forcibly extracting energy from the Power Stone at all..."

"This is... this is a new Magic that has been derived from a direct understanding of the fundamental Laws of the Universe?!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Ancient One's expression changed drastically!

A blinding glint flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at the Amethyst Longsword in Ren's hand, as if she wanted to see right through it.

After a moment, Ancient One took a deep breath and a bitter smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on her face.

She realized she was wrong again.

That kid, Ren, you can't reason with him at all!

Even she, the Sorcerer Supreme who had lived for hundreds of years, could not fully comprehend the Laws of creation contained within the Infinity Stones.

But what about Ren?

He'd only had it for a few minutes, yet he immediately dissected and absorbed the Laws, making them his own!

Even if they only absorbed a small portion of the fur, this is already a Shocker and perverse act!

This kind of talent is unprecedented and will never be seen again.

Ancient One was completely relieved.

For a monster like Ren, the allure of Infinity Stones is a complete joke!

Inside the room.

Ren hadn't really been interested in the Infinity Stones before.

I always felt that although this thing was powerful, it was too cumbersome to use, and it was not as convenient as casting my own instant Magic.

But now, his views have been completely overturned!

This isn't a gem; this is the system's super mutation catalyst!

Ren grinned, looking like a sly fox.

"Bite!"

"[Vishanti's Power Sword] has undergone a magnificent transformation, its internal energy is bursting forth!"

"[Vishanti's Power Sword] desperately needs to vent its excess energy and strongly requests to immediately go out and show off to someone!"

The smile on Ren's face froze instantly.

When will this skill ever end?!

He's always thinking about how to show off; he doesn't have time to go out and fight all the time.

Ren ignored the system's request in his mind and planned to lie down and take a nap.

"Bite!"

"[The Vishanti's Power Sword] keenly sensed its host's perfunctory attitude and felt extremely aggrieved and angry!"

"[Vishanti's Power Sword] has decided to go on strike in protest. In the upcoming battles, there is a very high probability that the 'deliberately disabled' traitor effect will be triggered!"

Ren's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Depend on!

Not only are they good at acting, but now they even dare to openly threaten strikes?

I can't live like this anymore!
