"Chong Yunxiao, take down the cosmic spirit ball and put it away. Don't lose it!" On the Fearless, Chris gently threw the cosmic spirit ball to Chong Yunxiao. Yondu, Nebula, and Peter Kui looked on the side.

You and the others are trembling with fear... Mamma Mia, what's inside is a gem that can destroy heaven and earth. Is it really okay to not take it seriously?

"Don't worry, this container made by the Gukri people is very stable and not easy to break. As long as there is no direct contact, the power gem is not too dangerous!" Looking at the nervous faces of these people, Chris chuckled.

explained.

Wait, shouldn't the Power Gem have been given to the system by Chris to be swallowed, and then the energy in it should be used to summon Dehaka and Nova, two level 10 heroes? Or is it actually in the current cosmic spirit ball?

There are no power stones at all?

The answer is that there is indeed a power gem in the cosmic spirit ball, but compared to the power gem at the beginning, the one inside now is just a look-alike...

Time goes back to when Chris just got the Power Stone...

"What benefits can the system bring to me by absorbing this gem?" Chris looked at the brilliant power gem in his hand and asked impatiently.

"You can unlock all heroes below the epic level, or two legendary level heroes, and at the same time, the host can use 50% of the power of the power gem," the system quickly answered.

"...Wait! Why can power gems unlock legendary heroes, but space gems can't? And why can only 50% of the power of power gems be used? And there are no other side benefits? At least space gems can add one more race.

The technology is unlocked!” Chris quit immediately when he heard the conditions were hugely different from the previous space gems!

"...Host, what do you think the Infinity Stones are?" The system asked again in obviously emotional words, but this time it was with a trace of helplessness.

"Isn't it the embodiment of the six basic powers in this universe?" Chris answered naturally. When watching movies in his previous life, many people such as the Collector, Odin, Thor, and Wang had said this answer.

How could you not know?

"Yes, but you should also know that although gems are the embodiment of six kinds of energy, they actually do not completely represent the six kinds of basic energies of the universe, right?" the system asked again.

"What do you mean?" Chris frowned and asked... Why did this statement feel a bit contradictory?

"Host, you should know after watching the movie that the Infinity Stones can actually be destroyed!" the system said.

"That's true!" Chris nodded. Of course he knew this. The scene where little sister Wanda destroyed the Mind Stone on Vision's head was so tragic. How could he not know... But this kind of thing will never happen again.

No, Vision will never have a chance to appear, and little sister Wanda is also his.

"But the destruction of the gem does not mean that the corresponding energy of the universe is also destroyed... Otherwise, once the gem is destroyed, the balance of the universe will be broken, and the universe will collapse!" the system continued to explain.

"Yes, that's the truth...I understand what you mean, that is, the infinite stones are actually just props that can utilize the corresponding cosmic energy, right?" Chris nodded and said.

"That's right, so the existence of infinite gems, in addition to the six basic energies contained in them, is actually more important in the basic materials that constitute them. Moreover, the six gems have completely different materials due to their respective characteristics.

It is these substances that allow the Infinity Stones to have the function of calling six kinds of energy in the universe. At the same time, it is also the limitations of these substances that make the energy that other gems can carry at one time be limited except for the space gems... This

This is also why the scope of influence of each gem is limited. Only the space gem can be continuously replenished to an almost unlimited extent due to its characteristics, but other gems cannot and need to be recharged... even if this time is very short.

"The system explained, "While I absorbed the energy of the power gem, I also absorbed this substance at the same time. This also means that in the future, like the power gem, I can continuously call on the cosmic energy representing "power" to host you.

Use, and the difference in rewards is also caused by the different properties of each gem."

"Wait, this is even more wrong..." After hearing what the system said, Chris immediately stopped, his eyes widened and he asked, "Since you said you absorbed the power gem and can use the cosmic energy like the power gem,

Then why can I only summon two legendary level heroes?"

Since you can absorb the power of the universe infinitely, why can't you keep calling? After you call once, wait for the energy to be full before calling again?

"...This is what I want to say. In the past, after users of the Infinity Stones used energy, host, where do you think the energy went?" the host asked.

"Um..." Chris was stunned when he heard the system's rhetorical question. "This question... If according to the law of conservation of energy... then it will naturally return to the universe... Do you mean that the summoned energy is real?"

What is consumed cannot be fed back into the universe?"

"Yes, if it is used normally, no matter how many planets are destroyed or how many people are killed, its energy will eventually return to the universe, and then replenish the same amount again, forming a cycle. This is the true power of the infinite stones.

Only in this way will the operating mechanism not have a big impact on the universe!" the system said.

"Um... what will happen if too much energy is absorbed? Will it lead to the destruction of the universe?" After listening, Chris finally understood, but still asked unwillingly.

"Of course not. In fact, even if all the heroes or even everything in the interstellar world are summoned, the energy consumed will not cause the universe to collapse. But then you, the host, will be in big trouble!" The system sneered.

He said, "There are Xel'Naga in the interstellar world. Do you think there are no existences of the same level or even higher level in this world? The energy of an entire infinite stone is inexplicably lost at one time, and you don't get any feedback. Do you think

Can't they notice it? Or do you think you can fight against an existence of that level by recruiting a few more legendary powerhouses?"

"Then if I collect and accumulate resources and energy myself and then summon it, won't it also consume the energy of the universe?" After hearing what the system said, Chris broke into a cold sweat, but You said stubbornly.

"Of course it's different! Although it is said that energy is conserved, in fact the entire universe is constantly expanding and growing. When it reaches the limit, it will collapse itself, form a super black hole, become a singularity again, and then explode again to form a new

A bigger and stronger universe, and the current universe is still very young. It will take at least tens of billions of years to expand to a new reincarnation. No one knows how much new energy will be generated! And it grows.

Although the speed is not fast, it is definitely not comparable to the speed of collecting energy resources by yourself! And why can you still use 50% of the power of measuring gems? This is also the maximum value that will not cause much difference after calculation

, so you should understand, right?" Seeing that Chris was unwilling to give up, the system sneered and said... If this host can't even do such simple addition and subtraction, I might as well blow myself up...

What a shame.

"I understand!" Chris twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed helplessly. The system has explained it in such detail, how can he still not understand?

According to the system, the universe is a pool that is constantly storing water, and the infinite gems are jars filled with water in the pool. No matter how you pour it into the pool, the water in the jar is still in the pool, and the total amount is not

will decrease, and the energy consumed by summoning heroes is equivalent to pouring the water in the jar directly out of the pool. It is okay if the jar is sealed, but once it is completely opened, the water level in the pool will decrease rapidly due to the replenishment of the jar.

, thus it will be noticed by the observer, and if you want not to be noticed, you can only control the replenishment amount to less than half of the jar... Because this speed is much lower than the speed of the pool water storage, it is still not enough.

Easy to spot.

As for Chris's own collection of resources and energy? That's like using a very small spoon to scoop water from a pool, let alone storing water faster.

"In that case, absorb it quickly! I choose to summon two legendary-level heroes!" After understanding all this, Chris glanced at the higher-level legendary-level hero column with extremely regretful eyes, and then looked at the legendary-level hero in front of him.

In the hero panel, after a short consideration, Nova and Dehaka were quickly selected.

However, after selecting these two heroes for summoning, Chris suddenly asked with enthusiasm, "System, since you have absorbed the basic constituent material of the power gem, can you part it to create a new gem?"

"

"...You can, but you have to know that the material that makes up the Infinity Stones came from before the Big Bang. It is extremely special, so it cannot be copied or regenerated. The less it is, the less energy you can use!"

The system hesitated for a while and gave Chris a positive reply.

"It doesn't matter. I just need a little bit. The energy contained in it can probably destroy...well...an aircraft carrier, but the size and shape of the gem must be the same as before!" After hearing the answer, Chris

Said somewhat excitedly.

"This is not a big problem. I just need to leave a very thin shell on the gem, and then fill it with energy crystals like those that wrap the outside of the space gem. But in this way, although the created gem has certain

The Power Gem is powerful, but it will become extremely fragile. Once it withstands an attack that exceeds its level of power, it will be easily shattered! Are you sure you want to do this?" The system asked with some confusion.

I understand why Chris wants to show off like this.

"Of course, this is what I want!" Chris said with eyes shining.

Soon, the power gem in Chris' hand disappeared, and after a while, another identical purple gem appeared. The only difference was that it didn't look as bright as the original one... But it didn't.

Anyone who has seen it will definitely not be able to tell such a subtle difference.

…………………………………………

The cosmic spirit ball that Chris handed to Chong Yunxiao contained such a specious looking thing.

As for why he did this, it was because Chris wanted to play a big game... which is why he is still on the spacecraft and did not return to Earth immediately.

As I said before, the current Milky Way is too peaceful for Chris.

Although the three empires sometimes conflict, they are extremely restrained and basically limit the conflicts within controllable limits, or simply support their own agents... For example, the Nova Empire is supported by the Shi'ar Empire, otherwise it is based on the Nova Empire

How capable is the empire to be able to fight the Kree Empire for thousands of years and still maintain its position as a first-rate force?

And it is precisely because of the relative peace of the three empires that after carving up the central area of ​​the galaxy, the three empires develop the edge areas of the galaxy, or support the development of the forces under their control... This means that leaving behind

There is not so much space for the development of the earth... Even if the earth did not happen to be within Asgard's sphere of influence, coupled with the existence of some guardians, the earth would have been colonized long ago. This is not the case in the past.

We know about the secret war between the Skrulls and the Kree on Earth in the distant past.

However, the decline of Asgard will happen sooner or later. Without this barrier, it will definitely be very harmful to the earth... It cannot be said that safety is not guaranteed at all. After all, the earth still has a level 10

Captain Marvel, and Thor, who can grow to level ten or even stronger, not to mention Chris and his men.

But what kind of price will the earth pay in this process... It hasn't happened yet, and no one knows what the result will be.

And if it is according to the ideas of Chris or the politicians on the earth, then it must be that before this happens, the bigger the territory, the better, and the more populous the planet, the better... Because this will not only bring them a massive amount of

interests, and will also bring sufficient strategic depth to mankind...

So how important is sufficient strategic depth to an interstellar civilization?

In this regard, Asgard in the future is a good example... It is because of Odin's conservative strategy that an extremely powerful civilization could only be trapped in a mere Asgard because of its nihilistic "glory".

Germany seems to be singing and dancing in peace, but in fact it is full of dangers. In the end, the entire Asgard is completely reduced to nothing. Thor can only take the survivors to try to seek refuge on the earth... Isn't it enough for a powerful force in the galaxy to sink to this level?

Sad?

After all, there are too many existences in the entire galaxy that can destroy planets. It is simply not safe for a planet or a planetary system.

The opposite example is the Skrull Empire.

The Skrull Empire is the weakest but the oldest civilization among the three empires. Why can it survive to this day and has not been destroyed by the other two empires? Is it because they can fight? If they can fight, they will not be defeated by Kree and Shi'ar.

The bullying has become what it is now.

The reason why it can be delayed until now is because its territory is large enough, its power is not only in the Milky Way, but also in other galaxies, the population of the planet is large enough, and there are countless subordinate races under its command, it can afford to consume it! And it will take millions of years to consume.
To be continued...
