Chapter 174
Mangaugo froze unwillingly, encased in a black pillar connected to metal pipes that extended from all directions.
The entire core energy room began to run at high speed, and the sound of liquid flowing in the metal pipes seemed to be heard.
The entire core energy room suddenly became completely alive from the previous semi-silence, and was operating under the control of the central control system.
"No surprises, right?" Odin looked at Mangogo, who was sealed in the pillar, and asked Luke for confirmation. He could see signs of the Supreme Mage's spell on the seal pillar.
"Unless, of course, someone breaks in and breaks the seal pillar and releases it again." Luke replied affirmatively, with so many dimensional materials and techniques, as well as the mage's craftsmanship, this core energy room can be called a different and powerful magic weapon! Luke trusts its effects. "In addition, the intelligent control system of this core energy room can detect all its energy fluctuation data, and it is now in a weak and silent state."
"In that case, let's talk about distribution." Odin's searching gaze was on the Ancient One and Luke.
"Come as agreed." Luke didn't refuse Odin's offer, as did the Ancient One mage on the side.
"Ten equal parts, according to the agreement at the beginning of the cooperation, I will contribute energy sources and strength, and occupy four shares in the initial stage." Odin Road. Luke and the Ancient One had no objection to his words.
Because the initial cooperation between the three of them was quite smooth, and the results were clear, it was a good start, and everyone did not care about the distribution issue.
It is clear to either of the three that the real interest is in the future, not in the present. The three of them have now initially established a tacit understanding and friendship of interests, and of course they will not be short-sighted and immediately tear their faces and argue.
Their trio, Luke's technology, Odin's combat power, and the ability and control of the ancient one, if they still want to come back in the future, the combination of the three is indispensable for the time being.
"Take another share from me and give it to Thor, okay?" Seeing that Luke and the Ancient One were meaningless, Odin saw his son standing stupidly on the side, and made another request. Of course, after this battle, he has once again valued Luke's senses, and has truly seen him as a person who can communicate with him and the ancient one on an equal footing. So in the end he was asking, not an unquestionable affirmation from above.
"Yes, how you use your quota is your right." Luke replied. Two metal pipes as thick as the thighs of adult men snaked like snakes, and a fine metal adapter appeared on the bodies of Ancient One and Thor under Luke's control, and the snake-like metal pipes opened their buckles and snapped together with the metal interfaces on their bodies, and then the liquid as red as blood turned into energy and poured into the inside of their bodies.
Uh-uh-uh......
The Ancient One mage calmly devoured the energy that poured into her body, but Thor next to her was a little unable to lift her weights. Thor only felt that an incomparably vast and majestic energy continued to pour into his body, washing over his body over and over again.
At first, it was the feeling of energy filling his body, but soon, the continuous and high-quality energy was a bit overwhelming, but he couldn't refuse the continuous infusion of this energy. Thor even felt that if this kind of continuous indoctrination continued, would his body be like a balloon that was constantly being flaunted, exploding after reaching the limit?
Odin, who was on the side, noticed his son's discomfort, grabbed Thor's shoulder with a big hand, and the vast divine power poured into Thor's somewhat internal energy-packed body, helping him comb and use magic to seal as much energy as possible into his body. It wasn't until Thor reached his limit that he signaled Luke to stop the energy infusion for Thor.
"I can't even eat this little bit of energy." Odin somewhat hated the way that iron does not become steel. But Thor didn't even have the heart to talk to him.
As time passed, Gu Yi opened his eyes and said softly, "I'm okay too." ”
"Go back to Asgard, I've dug a lake near Asgard." Odin couldn't wait to look at Luke and the Ancient One.
Luke had no choice but to open the teleportation permission for the ancient one and two.
When the four reappeared, they returned to the control room of the Rainbow Bridge. Luke and the others are fine, but Thor is a little uncomfortable, feeling like he wants to vomit but is forcibly holding on. His anomaly attracts the attention of Rainbow Bridge goalkeeper Heimdall.
Odin is still at the forefront. Looking at the backs of the three people walking on the rainbow bridge in front of him, and at Thor, who had not moved a step so far, Heimdall asked with some curiosity, "Aren't you going to follow, Thor?" ”
"Gross! I can't move, I can't move. Thor replied with difficulty. His voice was hoarse and strange, like two stones rubbing against each other. Thor also wanted to follow, but his body, which used to be very flexible, was now bulky, and his body seemed to have turned into a stiff stone statue, and he was like a soul consciousness sealed in the stone statue by some kind of magic, able to think, but unable to control the movement of his body.
Thor never thought that one day, he would not even be able to control his body, and what he didn't expect was that the result was not that he was cursed or seriously injured, but because he ate too much, and his body was full of energy, causing him to feel that his body weight had broken through to a point that he could not control for the time being.
To use a simple analogy, his body used to be a wooden hammer, and his soul consciousness could be easily manipulated, but now, his body has become a heavy metal hammer, and his soul consciousness has not kept up with the changes in his body in a short period of time, that is, he wants to lift the metal hammer, but his previous strength can't lift it. So he wanted to move, but his body couldn't.
"You're not hurt." Heimdall carefully observed Thor's body and shook his head, "But your physical strength is much higher, and it seems that you have succeeded." ”
Thor stood in the control room of the Rainbow Bridge like a wooden stake, and Heimdall thoughtfully called his friends to take care of him, even if Thor had already refused with difficulty, to no avail.
"This is it." Odin stopped in front of a large crater more than 100 meters in diameter and at least 30 meters deep.
A waist-thin green hole appeared in the middle of the pit, and the crystalline energy was concentrated into a liquid pouring down. Soon, the floor of the pit was covered with a layer of crystal water, and even the energy density of the surrounding space increased.
As the god-king of Asgard, Odin, who has a close connection with this land, faintly felt a certain joy in the air around him after the energy liquid poured down. This made the joy in his eyes a little stronger.
No matter what the future holds, as long as Asgard's territory can become more stable and the Asgardians' physical fitness can become stronger, then Correspondingly, Asgard's overall strength will also increase, so that even if the final arrival of Ragnarok cannot be delayed, maybe Asgard will have the strength to deal with it at that time?
At the end of the day, there will be two helpers, Gu Yi and Luke, who may be able to give some advice in the future, or find a solution to the problem?
Thinking of this, Odin's attitude towards Ancient One and Luke was softer and more cordial.
……
"The God-King is holding a banquet to entertain distinguished guests." A big man with a thick brown and yellow beard wearing armor and a big axe behind his back, looked at the lively sound from the Asgard Palace in the distance, licked his lips, and said with some yearning.
"You may, go first." Thor felt like he had regained a little of his senses, at least he was no longer just feeling numbness, he could now feel the pain of his body being torn apart. It's a good sign, although it does hurt. Thor had a similar experience, he had felt numbness in his limbs because of the fight, but under the strong self-healing force, the numbness turned into pain, and then the numb pain and itching, and then the numb limbs could already move according to their minds.
Based on his current physical condition, Thor judged that he only needed to stand here for another five hours before he could initially regain some mobility. Maybe he'll be able to make it to the end of the banquet.
"I'll stay with you." It was a heroic woman who spoke, she was carrying a magic sword given by Odin, dressed in military uniform, and said simply.
"We'll stay too." Vandal and Hogan looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I'm just talking." The big man who spoke first, Vostagg, wiped his face and sat down on the spot.
……
On the balcony of Asgard.
Ancient One and Luke sat facing each other in their chairs.
"What do you want to ask?" It was the Ancient One who spoke first, and she didn't wait for Luke's unsolicited questions or anything else.

"Mind/Emotional Energy." Luke succinctly stated the main points he wanted to know.
"Energy, yes." Gu Yi was not surprised, she looked at Luke with a calm face, and asked rhetorically, "What kind of people do you think the mages of the Supreme Mage lineage are?" ”
Luke lifted his eyelids. The ancient one on the other side didn't want him to answer, and in the silence, the ancient one answered his own question, and continued with his own question: "The mages of the Supreme Mage lineage are essentially just a group of mortals who can borrow and use high-dimensional energy in a clever way. This borrowing and use is like a toddler using a weapon that is difficult for him to control. ”
Luke didn't expect the Ancient One to evaluate the mages of his own vein like this. But when I think about it, I think this evaluation is appropriate. It's a bit similar to the believers who use beliefs, souls, and other similar ways in memory to borrow and exchange for the power of certain gods. It's just that the Supreme Master in front of him is more free and has more choice than those believers.
"Do you think we're short on energy?" Gu Yi asked again and again.
Luke didn't answer, and he knew that the Ancient One didn't need his answer. Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Yi gave himself an answer again: "There is no shortage, there is also a shortage."
What is not lacking is that we have our own stable source. What is lacking, what is lacking is the source of one's own magic power.
Most of the worlds and forces in high latitudes have masters, and these masters are in charge of the distribution of these energies. If the one who lent you his power cut off your energy supply, then accordingly, you will lose your power and become a mortal again. The spells that you once had at your fingertips are all empty shelves with no roots, and no matter how skilled you are, you can't unleash any magic.
The authority of the Supreme Mage to use his power is not in his own hands. We are essentially subject to God.
There was a mage who had the whimsical idea to find another alternative energy, and he did, but unfortunately he didn't understand the opponent he was up against. In the face of those dimensional demon gods, without the corresponding high-quality energy, it will be difficult for you to hurt the other party. Even if it's me, you can't expect me to drain humanity's energy and use it to fight the dark lord Dormammu. Perhaps seeing the way I use the magical energy of the electric transformation, Dormammu's ugly face will burst into laughter, and then unceremoniously swallow my attack, drain my soul, and talk to me about my debt to him. Maybe he'll bring in some other creditors. ”
Gu Yi calmly told Luke about his old ways. It's not that there are no people who dare to ask her for debts in the past few hundred years, but the powerful ones either can't get in or can't take her, or the weak ones are beaten by her and their noses are swollen, and even more miserable ones are directly killed and reduced to excellent dimensional materials that can be used to build powerful magic weapons.
Who wasn't a violent aggressor when they were younger?
The Ancient One continued, "The energy you created perfectly matches my needs. It can be regarded as a high-quality energy at high latitudes, and has quite superior energy plasticity properties. What's more, it can be accommodated and absorbed by mages, and there are no other demon gods' wills left for the time being. This means that mages are much less dangerous, more people can become mages, and there is no need to worry about the backlash of power.
It's a change from nothing!
Mages will not be cut off from their power supply and become powerless mortals in the future. Not to mention that there is a lot of potential for the energy you create. ”
"Odin......" Luke pointed to Odin inside the walls, inside the Asgard banquet.
"Of course, he discovered the superior properties of this energy. Otherwise, with his arrogance, he would have rejected my offer of cooperation in the first place. After all, there were so many treasures in his treasure vault. If he doesn't have to, he doesn't look down on us. Gu Yi chuckled.
"Thankfully, this energy was created by you, you have the technology to make it, and you have the potential to upgrade it! Although you failed to ascend to the dimension, that time was also a heavy bargaining chip, completely crushing the last straw in his heart. Gu Yi didn't wait for Luke to speak, and then gave another answer.
