" Thor said the Dark Elves world is twice the size of Earth. How long would it take to find them? Maybe I should just wait for them to come to me!"
Qin Xiao glanced at the dark, barren land around him and lost all interest in wandering around.
With a thought, a small segment of Aether emerged from his arm, slowly undulating in the air around his palm.
This is Qin Xiao's greatest control over the Reality Stone at this stage.
However, even a tiny bit was enough. The Dark Elves had been studying the Reality Stone for thousands of years, and that tiny, faint aura was enough to attract Malekith's attention.
Qin Xiao stayed in place for less than ten minutes when several sword-shaped spaceships appeared from the distant horizon. With a whooshing sound, they arrived in front of Qin Xiao in an instant.
"Intruder, whoever you are, hand over the Aether, it is a sacred artifact belonging to us Dark Elves."
A deep, resonant sound, as if emanating from liquid, emanated from the lead spaceship and enveloped the entire area.
Qin Xiao had no intention of standing there Dum-E in this barren land for who knows how long, relying on the spatial ability he carried with him.
Qin Xiao took out a steaming copper pot directly from his spatial storage. A square four-person dining table was filled with sliced mutton, bean curd sheets, duck intestines, various vegetables and seafood, and a dipping sauce made of high-quality sesame sauce and various seasonings. It was authentic China hot pot.
Next to it was a plate of at least seven or eight kinds of fruit cut in various ways, a fruit platter with an elaborate presentation.
Like all the spaces in online novels, Qin Xiao's space had no concept of time. Qin Xiao didn't know how many fresh fruits and ingredients he put in, or how many kinds of delicious food he had just cooked.
It was truly ready to eat as soon as it was taken out, and the copper pot was no exception. The moment the water boiled, Qin Xiao put it into his spatial storage. Qin Xiao had at least several thousand such devices in his collection.
So when several spaceships shouted down at Qin Xiao from their high vantage point, Qin Xiao had already finished eating two plates of mutton slices.
Right now, he's grimacing as he stuffs a mouthful of chrysanthemum greens into his mouth.
He flicked his tongue and slurped the vegetable stalks that had just come out of the copper pot into his mouth, taking a few satisfying bites.
Qin Xiao then lazily reached out and picked at his ear.
"I don't know if it's a problem with your voice or your megaphone? Tell me what you want to say down here!"
He extended a finger and beckoned towards the leading spaceship. The Aether in his hand followed Qin Xiao's gesture, mimicking his index finger's movement, before wrapping around Qin Xiao's hand and disappearing into his skin.
That simple action caused Malekith's dark pupils inside the spaceship to shrink to the size of pinpoints.
He can also manipulate Aether, and even briefly introduce them into his body.
However, once it enters the body, it completely blocks the aura of the Aether...
Based on Malekith's experience, there are only two possibilities for this: one is that the Aether have been completely recovered.
Based on his understanding of the Aether, this was absolutely impossible, unless one's absolute power surpassed that of the Aether, but that was impossible; no being in the universe could surpass an Infinity Stones in terms of sheer power.
The second point is similar to the first: using the power of the gem to forcibly suppress it.
Malekith would never have imagined that Qin Xiao Qin Xiao a Space Stone, which was slowly merging with the Reality Stone.
It's not that Malekith was ignorant; indeed, in the legends of various civilizations and races throughout the universe, no being has ever been able to possess two Infinity Stones at the same time, let alone hide them both within their own body.
"Damn it! Did you use magic? I'm warning you one last time, hand over the Aether right now!"
Malekith made his own judgment: the person in front of him must have used some kind of magic he had never seen before.
As he issued his warning, several sword-shaped spaceships facing Qin Xiao simultaneously emitted a faint, dark red glow.
It's clearly some kind of energy weapon that's charging up.
Qin Xiao was enjoying his meal and didn't bother to pay attention to Malekith's words. He picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks and put it into the copper pot, muttering something as he moved the chopsticks up and down.
"1,2,3,..."
He thoroughly implemented the hotpot cooking method of "seven dips and eight lifts" for tripe, while his left hand, in response to Malekith's words, casually extended a straight middle finger towards the spaceship.
Whether the Dark Elves can understand this gesture is none of his concern.
In fact, this gesture can be considered an interstellar gesture, as evidenced by the Star-Lord made to the Guardians of the Galaxy guards when he was imprisoned on Xandar.
Malekith was instantly enraged. This man had not only invaded their territory, but was also brazenly eating while ignoring his questions.
It's important to understand that even the All-Father of Asgard considered himself an enemy of equal standing.
"Fire!"
A deep, angry voice echoed within the spaceship. Along with his own vessel, a total of four spaceships launched an attack simultaneously from four directions toward Qin Xiao in the center.
"I hope you've eaten your fill before you die, you damned, arrogant magician!"
Four highly concentrated, dark red energy beams, each half a meter thick, shot diagonally toward Qin Xiao from high above, in four directions: front, back, left, and right.
A slight smile appeared on Malekith's lips, and his right hand even prepared for the habitual motion he made before summoning the Aether.
As he raised his right hand above his shoulder, his palm slightly retracted.
Four laser beams emitted explosive sounds upon hitting their targets, centered on the area around Qin Xiao's table.
Dust filled the air, and Malekith smiled slightly, slowly retracting a fist into his palm.
Even after his right hand clenched into a tight fist, there was still no familiar reaction to manipulate the Aether.
"This is impossible..."
Malekith's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
As the dust slowly settled, he finally saw a faint blue energy shield appear at the center of the attack.
The energy shield enveloped Qin Xiao and the table in front of him.
Under the attack of the four energy beams, nearly half a meter of soil was shaved off from the surrounding ground.
It made Qin Xiao and the table stand out like an isolated island, but that was all.
Not to mention Qin Xiao, even the glass of wine on his table didn't tremble.
The full glass of amber-colored liquor remained completely still.
Qin Xiao reached out and grabbed the glass, downing the entire glass of wine in one gulp.
Under Malekith's incredulous gaze, he opened his mouth and let out a burp.
"Hiccup!~~~"
