Power of the Sun

Forseti took a few steps and lay down on the platform.

Although both designed by Khonshu, this pyramid has many differences compared to Apocalypse's Rebirth Pyramid at El Fontina.

Firstly, the scale is different. El Fontina looks large, but what really works is the part built with solar metal on the top. The huge stone base below is basically decorative, and Forseti's pyramid is somewhat larger.

Secondly, as Khonshu mentioned, the solar metal smelted in the space environment is of higher quality, stronger, and better able to guide and gather the power of the sun.

There are also some design improvements. For example, the accumulation of the power of the sun in Apocalypse's Pyramid cannot be stopped. As long as it is illuminated by the sun, the pyramid continues to gather the power of the sun until it bursts. Apocalypse's solution is simple and crude: when the pyramid is not in use, he directly covers it with a cloth.

Forseti's pyramid corrects this defect and can artificially control the absorption rate of the power of the sun.

There are palm-shaped grooves on both sides of the platform, and Forseti's hands are lit with flames as he places them in the grooves.

The injection of divine flames activates the pyramid, and lines all over the tower light up with a faint golden glow. At the same time, a fiery energy begins to gather. This energy is very familiar to Forseti—it is the mighty power from the sun.

The moon, unobstructed by the layers of the atmosphere, makes it far easier to obtain the power of the sun than on Earth.

The pyramid guides and gathers this power, turning it into a trickle, flowing from the outside of the tower into the platform, and finally into Forseti's body.

"Ah..." Forseti couldn't help but let out a sigh of comfort.

Compared to the painful and tormenting experience on the surface of the sun and inside the sun, absorbing the power of the sun guided by the pyramids feels so comfortable. It's warm and peaceful, like a hot spring.

With the integration of the power of the sun, the divine power of fire in his body becomes active, showing a rhythmic beat, like a heartbeat.

There is no doubt that the inflow of the power of the sun is making the power of the flame grow stronger.

Of course, this process is very slow and difficult to detect.

Forseti felt it for a while and made a rough judgment. The power of the sun that the pyramid directs to him is naturally far inferior to the interior of the sun, but if compared with the surface of the sun, it is not much different.

This has already exceeded his expectations. He originally thought the efficiency of the pyramid could reach half of the surface of the sun, but it turned out to be 70% to 80%.

What's more, the experience of the pyramids is countless times better than the surface of the sun.

On the surface of the sun, Forseti would be too hot after a while. Lying in the pyramid, he felt that he could sleep comfortably for five hundred years.

After lying on the platform for a while, he emerged from the pyramid.

"How do you feel?" Khonshu asked.

"It's great, beyond expectations," Forseti nodded, then asked, "Khonshu, what are your plans next?"

"I'm going to spend a few years on the moon first, which should make me stronger than I was at the peak of my life," Khonshu said.

"Before you were alive?"

Khonshu spread his hands: "Is there any problem with this description?"

He was destroyed by Apocalypse, and now his soul is attached to the statue, which is indeed considered "after birth" to some extent.

Khonshu continued, "Then let's go back to Earth. It's empty and uninhabited here, and it's not interesting to stay for a long time."

Forseti: "I will also stay here for a few years to see how much my divine power can be improved in that time."

In the following years, Forseti spent nearly half of his time on the moon, absorbing the power of the sun through the pyramid and strengthening the power of flames.

Of course, he also returned to Asgard regularly. Odin's soldiers were waving in the universe. Every moment, Asgard was fighting all over the universe, and Forseti inevitably had to undertake combat missions.

But most of the time, the task that Odin gave him was to conquer a few ordinary planets, all of which were of the nature of training and not very difficult. Forseti could spare more time to stay on the moon and practice.

In the past few years since Odin ascended the throne, Asgard has expanded very fast, and its prestige has resounded across the galaxy. Many planets have surrendered to the iron hooves of the Aesir gods.

For example, the Kree Empire, although Asgardians often refer to Kree as a small country, frankly speaking, the Kree Empire is quite powerful. If Asgard is defined as a super-first-class country in the universe, the Kree Empire is at least half-first-class.

What Forseti defeated on the moon and the Earth was only a small part of their armament, and could not truly reflect the strength of the entire Kree Empire.

If it weren't for the death of the Kree Empire, and in the process of fighting Asgard, also fighting against the coalition forces of many planets such as Xandar, Asgard would have had to work hard to defeat it.

It's a pity that the Kree people's ambitions were too inflated, and they fought on multiple fronts. The result was a very hasty loss. Asgard did not exert any force; the Kree people first signed the surrender letter and became a castrated and defeated country.

When he heard the news, Forseti couldn't help but think of the famous villain who was defeated by Star-Lord's dance, the accuser Ronan.

In this way, losing hastily seems to be a Kree tradition...

Today, inside the pyramid.

Forseti got up from the platform, the flame in his hand flickering as he felt the change of the flame power in his body.

Although the divine power had been improving slowly, the power of the sun accumulated in the pyramid over the past few years had significantly enhanced the flame divine power, both in quality and quantity.

At this speed, Forseti felt that he would be able to break through to the second-order divine power in a few decades.

So fast?

Intellectually, he didn't believe it at all. However, humans are not purely rational creatures, nor are Asgardians, so Forseti was still excited, and from time to time he fantasized about breaking the speed record of divine power improvement.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the ground not far away suddenly burst open, and a moon-white statue with a bird's head and a human body flew out. It was Khonshu.

However, at this time, Khonshu was huge, more than ten meters tall, and looked quite astonishing.

He became so big mainly to better absorb the lunar force. Forseti had always thought that the power of the moon was the power of moonlight, but that was not the case. The power of the moon was actually the internal energy of the planet, similar to the "power of the world," but on Earth, this power needed moonlight to be projected.

As he flew out, Khonshu's body shrunk rapidly, and when he flew to Forseti's side, he became the size of an ordinary person.

Forseti felt the breath on his body and couldn't help saying, "Every time you come out, the changes are so great. I feel that the power of the moon is much stronger than the power of the sun."

"The power of the moon is far less powerful than the power of the sun, but the power of the moon is mild and easier to absorb and utilize," Khonshu said.
