Chapter 373 The Power of Time, "Little Boy" Lu Mingfei
Inside the battleship.
Lu Mingfei looked at Master Gu Yi floating in front of him in surprise.
He didn't expect that the Ancient One Master would offer to let him absorb the power of the Time Stone.
After taking over as the Supreme Mage, the Ancient One naturally left him the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Stone in it.
The Eye of Agamotto essentially has nothing to do with the Time Stone. It is just a magical weapon that was made a long time ago. Its function is to break illusions, and then it was used as a container to hold the Time Stone for various reasons.
Although Lu Mingfei often uses the Eye of Agamotto to summon the Ancient Master, he has always been extremely cautious about the time gem inside. He will not even open it to look at it, let alone absorb its power or use it. .
Because Master Ancient One had made it very clear when he handed the Time Stone to him - all the effects caused by the Time Stone will be returned intact by time in another form.
To put it more bluntly, in the long run, using this thing will not do any good to the user himself. It looks strong, but is actually not a good thing.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei has never given any thought to this gem. He just waits for Strange to grow up, and then he will tell Strange about the gem and Gu Yi's words, and then he can get rid of this hot potato. .
As for the problem of summoning the Ancient One Mage if something big happens again without the Eye of Agamotto as an anchor...
I think that after Strange took over as the Supreme Mage, he probably wouldn't refuse himself, the former Supreme Mage, to occasionally borrow the Eye of Agamotto.
But he didn't expect that the Ancient Master, who had repeatedly warned him that the Time Stone was dangerous, would now advise him to absorb the power of the Time Stone.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and looked at Gu Yi suspiciously: "Master Gu Yi, are you Dormammu pretending to be you?"
Ancient One:......
"I didn't recommend you to use the power of the Time Stone before, because as long as you interfere with the timeline, it may break the established timeline rules and cause countless unpredictable consequences," Gu Yi explained, "But if you just observe the timeline As long as you can ensure that after observation, your actions when you know the future will not break the law of time, then there will be no problem. "
"As long as we don't break the laws of time, there won't be any problems?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Including interfering with time but not breaking the laws of time?"
"It is not accurate to say interference. It is more accurate to say...choice. You can see countless different timelines and then choose one of them to go on. This is not interference," Gu Yiyi said. "For example, if you walk aimlessly On the road, I see three forked roads in front of me. It doesn’t matter which one you take. Each road is a timeline. You can choose any one, but you can’t leave the road directly and walk into the wilderness. That’s not a road. This is tantamount to interfering with the laws of time and creating a new timeline.”
"What do you mean, after observing the future, I can see many futures. These futures are like multiple-choice questions. I can choose any one from ABCDEF, but I can only choose. I cannot create a new option to fill in. , right?" Lu Mingfei was thoughtful.
"Yes," Gu nodded, "Choosing a timeline will not break the established laws of time or interfere with it, but if you go to a timeline that does not originally exist, a new timeline will be created, and a new time will be created. The lines will also be confusing.”
"It sounds pretty simple..." Lu Mingfei stroked his chin.
"No, it's not simple at all. The Time Stone is just a pure power. It allows you to see the timeline, but it doesn't tell you what the laws of time are. It doesn't necessarily mean you will do something earth-shattering or something earth-shattering. Only an obvious choice will break the law of time. To put it at the extreme, it may be every little thing you do after observing the timeline, such as taking an extra step when walking or putting a book on the bookshelf after reading it. If it is not completely arranged, it will break the original time rules." Gu Yi shook his head seriously.
"Butterfly effect! Isn't this impossible to guard against? If I take a little extra breath every time, I might accidentally break the time pattern?" Lu Mingfei had a toothache on his face.
"That's right, that's why I have always told you not to use the power of time gems, because you may unintentionally destroy the laws of time and push yourself into chaos," Gu Daoyao said, "The more people feel that they can see through time, the more likely they will be. Encountered unexpected surprises.”
"Then why are you suggesting that I absorb the power of the Time Stone now..." Lu Mingfei was puzzled.
"Because even without the help of the Time Stone, you already have the power to observe and interfere with the timeline," Ancient One explained. "You can feel it yourself, right? Although it is far from the level of the Time Stone, it is still It’s real power.”
Lu Mingfei nodded - after his bloodline awakened, he had a vague feeling that he could "see" the timeline. Although the principal's Time Zero is also a time-based ability, it is a bit too simple compared to the observation timeline. I don't know if this power only exists in the Black King, or if the White King or a certain Dragon King also has such buggy authority.
"This power comes from yourself, not from external objects like the Time Stone. Therefore, your instinct will let you know what the law of time is like, so that you will not break it unintentionally." Gu Daodao, "Here In this case, the power of the time stone is only an enhancement for you, and will not allow you to inadvertently break the timeline and cause the timeline to backfire. "
"Uh... But what's the time pattern... I don't feel it at all? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your judgment of me?" Lu Mingfei was a little unsure.
"Abide by the basic laws of time. This is not some kind of knowledge like laws or rules, but the instinct of all creatures that can observe the timeline. This instinct will allow you to naturally avoid behaviors that will destroy the laws of time. You It can be understood that after observing the timeline, every action of ordinary people may inadvertently trigger a subtle butterfly effect, but this unconscious triggering of the butterfly effect will not occur in you, your body will Naturally avoid any action that triggers the butterfly effect.”
Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up: "Then..."
Gu Yi interrupted: "You are only immune to the butterfly effect. You are not free to interfere with time. If you try to do some extremely obvious behavior that breaks the laws of time, then your instinct will make you feel the danger of doing so from the bottom of your heart. , if you still insist on doing it, the consequences will not be any different from ordinary people. "
"Oh." Lu Mingfei looked disappointed.
"Okay, I'm going to check the energy transmission device of the main gun and the Rainbow Bridge. You decide for yourself whether you want to absorb the power of the Time Stone. I'm just telling you that you are qualified to carry the power of the Time Stone. It doesn't mean you need to. Do. It’s up to you whether you want to absorb this heavy power.”
After saying this, Master Gu Yi's spirit body flew away.
Tony, who had been listening for a long time and resisted interrupting, immediately patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.
Lu Mingfei looked at Tony.
"Playing with time is a very dangerous behavior. Well, although I haven't played with it yet, I still understand this truth," Tony said, "But considering that I have already awakened the power to affect time, as for whether I should absorb time To this question about gems... I’m afraid only you know the answer.”
Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to say anything, Tony continued: "But what I want to say is that with the power we have now, that Ego is definitely not a threat. If you want to absorb the time stone because you are worried that Ego is too strong, If you take risks, I don’t recommend you do this. I hope you make your decision based on careful consideration and not some imminent pressure.”
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "You are kidding! What kind of pressure can Egg put on me! Tony, you underestimate me. No matter how strong Igo is, can he still be stronger than God Odin or the Ancient One Master?"
"If Odin and I are in this state now, Yi Ge is not necessarily weaker than us." The ancient mage floated up from the floor.
Tony was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
Lu Mingfei was also shocked: "Master Gu Yi, why are you back so soon?"
"I've checked, and there's nothing wrong with the main gun," Gu Daoyao, "As for what you just said... I'm just a spirit body now. Odin's body has been unable to fight normally due to aging and too much divine power. Although he is still better than Ego was strong, but there was a direct battle, and the result was probably that Ego was killed by Odin. Odin's body collapsed due to the fierce battle and the overuse of divine power, and they both died."
Lu Mingfei:...
Didn't you hear that I was cheering you on before the war?
He didn't know why, but he always felt that since his death, or that he occasionally found him again after death, Master Gu Yi had become less and less calm and popular as when he was alive. He did such an ungentlemanly thing by throwing him into the sea, and now he seems to be choking even when he speaks?
…
In the battleship, in Lu Mingfei's room.
Lu Mingfei sat on the bed, holding the Eye of Agamotto in his hand, and gently touched the inscription mark on it with his thumb.
In this bronze magical instrument is the time stone. But Lu Mingfei's attention is not on the Time Stone now, he is thinking about another issue.
"The power of time. This power comes from dragon blood. As the source of the dragon, the Black King who was killed before must also have the power to affect time, right? Then how was he killed..."
"This is an unsolved mystery. Even the Dragon Kings don't know how they were able to kill the supreme Father God. Therefore, after the death of the Supreme Father, the sinners and rebellious sons were in panic all day long, thinking that He must still be there. Will come back..."
The boy in a well-dressed suit stood next to Lu Mingfei and talked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand expressionlessly and pinched the little boy's neck.
Different from the past when Lu Mingfei used his hands to show his calmness, Lu Mingze looked particularly painful after being choked this time. Apart from not being in an instinctive struggle, he looked no different from an ordinary person. His small face was filled with pain. He was flushed, his mouth was slightly open, his lips were opening and closing and trembling, as if he wanted to breathe.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a very strange feeling.
In the past, he had always regarded this little devil as some kind of creature from the hell dimension that haunted him. Even if he occasionally felt a sense of intimacy with him, it was classified as some kind of temptation technique of the devil or simply because of his cute appearance. An illusion caused by harm.
But after the bloodline evolved this time, when he saw Lu Mingze again, he felt more than just a little bit of intimacy, and even a kind of intimacy like blood and milk blending, as if he and he had some kind of extremely close connection, like real brothers... No, even more than just brothers...
This strange feeling made him a little dazed, and his hands loosened a little.
Just when Lu Mingfei felt dazed, Lu Mingze suddenly disappeared.
And he was pinching Lu Mingze's hand, but now he was pinching his neck.
An obvious discomfort came over him, and Lu Mingfei loosened his hand.
"What is this...? The devil's spell? Or..." Lu Mingfei stroked his neck, and the remaining pinching touch had not completely dissipated.
"Lu Mingze! Come out!" Lu Mingfei frowned and shouted.
If he shouted like this in the past, Lu Mingze would definitely come out from some corner with a cunning smile on his face, but this time he had no reaction.
After a moment of silence, Lu Mingfei picked up the Eye of Agamotto and flicked it with his hand.
The Eye of Agamotto opened, and a green gem floated out.
Lu Mingfei held the Time Gem with his hand. He could feel the huge power in it, but perhaps because he also had power related to time, he could barely control the power of the Time Gem from pouring directly into his body, but held it normally, like holding an ordinary gem.
Strands of silver silk spread from his palm, wrapping the Time Gem like a cocoon of silk.
Green light shone through the gaps of the Silver Oak Sword, but more of it turned into power and poured into the Silver Oak Sword and Lu Mingfei's body.
Perhaps because Lu Mingfei himself had the power to influence time this time, absorbing the Time Gem was much easier and more efficient than absorbing the power of the Space Gem and the Mind Gem.
According to Lu Mingfei's estimate, he could complete the absorption within a day or two.
In this case... maybe we can set off now? It takes time for the battleship to sail from Earth to Ego's location. Before arriving, he should have completed the absorption.
"Okay, let Tony go first. We can talk about the matter between me and Lu Mingze, and the strange feeling just now, later..." Lu Mingfei stood up and muttered to himself.
But as he was talking to himself, the power of the time gem that had entered his body suddenly started.
With a burst of strong green light that penetrated the silver oak sword, Lu Mingfei subconsciously blinked his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he was a little puzzled to find that... everything around him seemed to be higher?
Lu Mingfei looked around in confusion.
Strange, the ceiling became higher, the door became higher, and the bed became higher...
Wait!
Lu Mingfei suddenly jumped onto the "higher and bigger" bed, opened the bedside table, picked up a mirror, took a few deep breaths, and then put it in front of his eyes.
In the mirror, there was a familiar face, but it was younger, or more than ten years younger.
This is clearly him when he was a child!
