Chapter 222: Power Stone
God?
Kryptonian god?
As a casual DC movie fan and someone who doesn't know much, Jack has never heard of a Kryptonian god before.
Speaking of which, are there gods in the comics from Krypton?
Jack doesn't know, but now he is facing someone who says he is the Kryptonian god, and the important thing is that he can not defeat him.
Rao, the self-proclaimed god of Krypton, looks at Jack from head to toe with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"To be honest, I'm very curious. What makes you so special?"
He walks around Jack, looks at him, and makes sounds of approval, which makes Jack feel like he is being watched like a pet.
"Okay, buddy, I don't know what your purpose is, but could you stop staring at me like that?"
Jack feels uncomfortable being observed and can't help raising his hand.
"If you want the Growth Codex back, I'll give it to you. How about we pretend nothing happened?"
"The Growth Codex? No, no, you can keep it if you want. I don't care."
Rao is surprised for a moment. Then shakes his head. "It's a useless bone in your universe anyway."
"Useless bone?"
Jack looks at the Growth Codex in his hand, puzzled. "Um... can you explain?"
Rao doesn't say much, he extends his hand, and the Growth Codex, which was tightly clenched in Jack's hand, suddenly appears in his own hand.
"As I said, this is not a creation of your universe. It won't work in your universe."
Rao turns his hand over, and when his palms are facing each other, the Growth Codex floats in the middle and sometimes gives off a small amount of golden light.
Jack understands this explanation.
He realizes that he missed this point, just like the powers.
Infinity Stones don't work here, and the power of the Dreamstone is also useless in the Marvel universe.
If that's the case, isn't his plan doomed from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Jack feels regretful. It's been a waste of time, and He could have spent this time with Diana doing something useful.
Bang!
The sound of a broken mirror brings Jack back to reality. Immediately, the Growth Codex is thrown back at him.
"Huh?"
He looks at Rao with puzzlement because he does not know what he did.
"Now it works, but I need to tell you that it is best not to worry too much about things outside of yourself. Pay more attention to yourself, kid."
Rao reaches out and lightly taps Jack's chest.
"Your time has come, and I must be going."
"Until next time."
Before Jack can say anything, he is forcibly sent back to the Marvel universe.
...
On the other side, in a chaotic space, an old man with a gentle white light all over his body and white hair sits in front of a small table while staring at the chessboard on the table.
The void ripples, and Rao appears behind the old man.
"I'm done. Are we even now?"
Rao looks at the old man with a little bit of fear in his eyes, but he pretends to be fearless.
"Hmm?"
Rao's words awaken the old man. He turns his head and looks at him blankly before finally realizing it.
"Oh, it's about that matter. We're even, we're even. Thank you for your hard work."
He waves his hand, his gaze returning to the chessboard.
Seeing this, Rao understands that he's being dismissed and silently disappears.
Now, only the old man remains, staring at the chessboard.
...
Marvel Universe.
Jack appears once again on the snowy mountain.
Looking at the Growth Codex in his hand and thinking about the Kryptonian god, Rao, Jack falls into deep thought.
Why did Rao help him?
That's a question, and is the Growth Codex really usable now?
He casually sends the Growth Codex into the Arquilian Galaxy.
It's something his subordinates can take care of. He needs to go home now.
New York.
Jack returns home after sending the Growth Codex to the Arquilian Galaxy.
"Sigh, I'm back."
Sitting slumped on the sofa, looking at the empty living room, Jack appears somewhat lonely.
He misses Diana, and he wishes these three months could pass quickly so he could be with her.
But rushing things won't help; he has more important matters now.
With his palm facing upward, the dim Space Stone appears in his hand.
He had been absorbing the Space Stone for a long time now, and it was estimated that one more time would completely absorb it.
Then he would search for the next Infinity Stone full of energy.
Squeezing the Space Stone tightly in his hand, Jack remained calm as immense energy poured into his body without any sign of discomfort.
Inside the Multiverse Salvage, an overload of blue light flooded the surroundings, even the water in the pool had a blue hue.
These beams of light eagerly poured into the white Infinity Stone, and whether it was an illusion or not, Jack felt that the Infinity Stone had experienced some changes.
After some time, when he could no longer feel anything in his hand, he opened his eyes.
A faint blue light flashed before his eyes.
"This is truly amazing!"
Jack was filled with astonishment. He had never expected such a tremendous gain after completely absorbing the Space Stone.
He now had complete control over space.
With a single thought, Jack vanished and appeared in the sky above the Grand Arena of Sakaar.
In front of him, the Valkyrie was drinking heavily and watching the matches below with great interest.
"You're still the same."
As the Valkyrie heard these words, her body stiffened, but when she quickly turned her head, she found nothing.
She looked around with a puzzled expression, confirming that there was no one else there.
Then she glanced at the bottle of wine in her hand and tossed it away.
She might have had too much to drink.
At this moment, Jack appeared in another location—the realm of the gods, Asgard.
He then shifted to the planet where the corpses of the Celestials were located.
Next, he appeared in Knowhere.
Then, it was the planet Ego, the Living Planet.
Jack traversed the cosmos continuously, moving from one end to the other, dozens of times.
He even easily traveled into other parallel universes.
Finally, he came to a slightly lifeless planet and landed.
Morag, the location of the Power Stone.
It was his second target.
"Hmm, just as I expected."
Standing on the planet's outside, Jack looked at the situation.
The energy inside him hadn't reduced in the slightest.
Although he could travel anywhere in the universe before, it consumed a large amount of energy.
But now, he could do it easily with just a thought.
He already knew the location of all the remaining Infinity Stones.
It could be said that, as long as he wanted to, there was nothing in this universe he couldn't find.
However, that wasn't enough. It fell slightly short of Jack's expectations.
He still needed one more thing.
The Power Stone.
The Power Stone was the most powerful of all the Infinity Stones.
Thanos used it to wipe out half of all life with a snap of his fingers.
Without the Power Stone providing energy, the snap might not even be able to reach beyond the galaxy.
And now, he had come here specifically for the most important Power Stone.
