Ancient Celestial Ego! The Power of the Infinity Stones Returns!

Ren hovered in Universe, his face filled with astonishment.

He was just wondering why the [Bolts of Balthakk] he unleashed simultaneously from his three hundred clones had become so weak.

The next second.

An immense and suffocating surge of Divine Power, mixed with extremely violent Psychic Power, erupted from the dark red planet ahead like Universe storm!

This Psychic Power even materialized, directly distorting the surrounding interstellar space, causing even the residual lightning released by Ren to be strangely deflected.

"What the hell is that?"

"Is there some hidden master lurking on this wretched planet?"

Ren was truly dumbfounded.

He had just scanned the planet carefully with his Psychic Power, and apart from those red plants, there wasn't a single living thing on it.

Why did such terrifying power suddenly erupt?

With a thought, the three hundred clones around Ren vanished instantly.

He composed himself and released his vast Psychic Power like a tidal wave, attempting to once again explore the secrets of this planet.

However.

His Psychic Power had barely touched the planet's atmosphere when it was forcefully bounced back by an extremely powerful energy!

This is the first time since Ren came to the Marvel Universe that he has failed in the Psychic Power detection test.

"What terrifying life energy and mental barriers!"

Ren was secretly alarmed.

He had traveled to many different dimensions with the Ancient One, so he was quite worldly-wise. He had also seen several strange and unusual Dimensional Entities.

However, he had never seen a creature with such immense and profound vitality before.

"What on earth is this thing?"

Ren stroked his chin.

It withstood even Kamar-Taj's most powerful forbidden spell; could it truly be a planet composed of some kind of rare, high-strength mineral from the Universe?

Just as Ren was pondering this to himself...

A sudden change occurred.

A figure, enveloped in blinding blue divine light, shot straight up from the interior of the planet below, heading directly towards Ren!

This is an old man with a white beard.

His face was contorted with rage, his eyes blazing with fury, as if Ren had desecrated his ancestral grave.

"Damn mortal! How dare you disturb my slumber! You must die today!"

The white-bearded old man didn't want to say a single unnecessary word.

He raised his hands, and the raging blue divine Divine Power instantly condensed into two dazzling orbs of light, which he hurled mercilessly at Ren.

Ren frowned slightly and casually waved his right hand.

A golden light flashed, shattering the blue orb that was hurtling towards them.

"This old man, isn't it a bit excessive to just start a fight like this?"

Ren spoke in a calm tone.

He admitted that he hadn't looked at the location carefully during his trial run, and that he was indeed in the wrong. If the other party had spoken politely, he could have simply apologized and let it go.

But this old guy went all out from the start, so we can't let him get away with it.

"Mortal!"

"You have disturbed the slumber of the gods; death is your only destination!"

Ego roared in fury.

He wasn't actually sleeping at all!

He was just attaching his consciousness to clones all over the Universe, painstakingly sowing seeds everywhere, adding bricks and tiles to his grand plan of "Universal Expansion".

As a result of Ren's chaotic bombardment, he shattered an important clone that Rein had left on a certain planet!

That was a perfect clone that he had painstakingly cultivated over a hundred years!

How could he not be furious!

"I am a supreme Celestial!"

"You insignificant ant in the Universe, how dare you challenge my authority! Die!"

Ego went completely berserk.

He suddenly raised both hands above his head.

An even more violent and vast blue energy, like a flood bursting its banks, gushed forth from the surface of the planet below, transforming into a boundless blue ocean of energy that swept towards Ren.

This power seemed inexhaustible, carrying a terrifying aura that could crush everything.

Just then...

The crisp Electronic Voice rang in Ren's mind once again.

"Bite!"

"[Vishanti's Power Sword] has sensed a pure, planetary-level energy surge!"

"[The Vishanti's Power Sword] automatically activated its underlying Laws and began frantically absorbing the Infinity Stones' essence from its host's body!"

"Bite!"

"Energy Absorption complete! The power of [Vishanti's Power Sword] has increased dramatically!"

Upon hearing the System Notifications, Ren's eyes lit up.

Goodness!

Is this for real? This skill can actually automatically draw upon the Laws of the Power Stone to strengthen itself?

Since that's the case.

Ren loosely clenched his right fist, a cold, sharp smile curving his lips.

The sky brightened again.

Countless dazzling Crystal feathers drifted down from the cold Universe of space.

A longsword, shimmering with a bewitching purple light and exuding a terrifying aura of destruction, slowly materialized in Ren's hand.

"You damned..."

Ego was still shouting wildly.

But when he saw the Amethyst Longsword in Ren's hand, his voice stopped abruptly.

Ego stared intently at the sword.

He sensed an extremely familiar, yet extremely deadly, energy fluctuation emanating from that sword.

This...

What kind of weapon is this?!

Why did the energy fluctuations above cause even Celestial who had lived for billions of years to feel an uncontrollable sense of dread?

How could such a power, capable of threatening the very essence of his life, possibly be in the hands of a mortal!

Before Ego could figure it out...

Ren has already made a move.

With a flick of his wrist, the Amethyst Longsword traced a perfect trajectory in space.

Swish!

An extremely condensed purple light blade, like a purple lightning bolt, shot out from the blade.

Boom!

No sound travels in space.

But Ego truly felt a violent tremor deep within his soul.

The purple light blade collided violently with the vast ocean of blue energy he unleashed.

There was no stalemate, no confrontation.

The purple light blade sliced through the blue sea of energy as easily as cutting butter. Furthermore, the purple energy attached to the blade began to frantically corrode and devour the surrounding blue divine Divine Power!

"That's impossible!"

Ego let out a sharp, eerie scream, his face contorted in disbelief.

What kind of bizarre power is this?!

He was a member of the Ancient Celestial!

His power level is extremely high, possessing absolute priority and suppressive power throughout the entire Universe. It is always his Divine Power that assimilates and corrupts others.

When did it become his turn for others' power to turn against him?!

"Damn bugs! What kind of evil magic are you using?!" Ego demanded angrily.

"Why would I tell a dead man, Ego?"

Ren stared at him coldly.

Just now, he finally deduced the old man's identity from his appearance and the peculiar blue energy emanating from him.

Ego!

In Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord is that twisted father who wants to turn the entire Universe into his own!

An Ancient Celestial who has existed since the beginning of Universe Big Bang!

Now that he knew the villain was an utterly wicked supervillain, Ren became even more reckless in his attacks.

Defeating this old monster would save countless lives across galaxies.

Ren swung his longsword again.

The purple light blade, like the scythe of death, instantly traversed the distance of space and slashed fiercely at Ego.

Click!

Ego's body was like a fragile glass doll, directly split in two by the purple light.

The incision was as smooth as a mirror, without even a drop of blood flowing out.

This body was originally an energy avatar he created using the power of the Celestial.

"This power... it can't be... this is..."

Ego's remaining half-body hovered in space, his eyes fixed on the Amethyst Longsword in Ren's hand.

His eyes were filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

"This is the power of the Infinity Stones!"

Ego finally recognized him!

How is that possible!

Many powerful beings in the Universe can borrow the power of the Infinity Stones, and some can even create artifacts that can channel the energy of the stones.

But!

Like this mortal before me, he perfectly stripped away, absorbed, and completely integrated the extremely violent core Laws of the Infinity Stones into his own Magic system.

That's absolutely impossible!

"How did you do that! How could you possibly perfectly combine the Laws of the Infinity Stones!"

"Even the Five Cosmic Entities of the Universe could never do something like this!"

Ego roared madly.

His proud worldview was subjected to an unprecedented and violent shock at this moment.

However, after the initial shock...

Suddenly, a wildly greedy and intensely passionate light flashed in Ego's eyes.

"Such a perfect fusion..."

"Such pure, ultimate power..."

"If only I could obtain that power!"

"The entire Universe will bow down at my feet!"

"Once I fuse with the Infinity Stones, I will be the one and only true god in the Universe!"

Ego stared intently at Ren, his eyes fixed on him as if he were looking at a priceless treasure, wishing he could devour him alive.

Being stared at like that by an old man with a white beard.

Ren felt a chill run down his spine and his stomach churn.

That old pervert, his eyes are absolutely disgusting!

With a look of disgust, Ren raised his hand and swung his sword again.

The purple light blade flashed again, instantly shredding the remaining half of Ego's body into the finest energy fragments.

"Finally, some peace and quiet," Ren muttered.

However, less than two seconds had passed.

The dark red planet's surface below churned again.

With a violent surge of energy, an unharmed old man with a white beard rose into the sky once again from inside the planet.

Your power is mine!
