Chapter 122: The Portal Gun is Complete, Devouring the Nebula of the Planet
"The superpower I've gained seems to be manipulating fire!"
Looking at the spirit-like flames on his hands, Reed's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of intense excitement.
Although the ability to manipulate flames is not guaranteed to be strong enough at this moment.
But there's no doubt about one thing, it's cool enough.
After the surprise, Reed began to study his state in detail.
Eventually, after some testing, a startling conclusion was reached.
Not only can he manipulate the flames with his hands without being burned by the heat of the flames, but he can even cover every part of his body with flames.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was able to completely transform himself into a flame man in an instant.
Moreover, the flames burning on his body are not ordinary flames.
The temperature is much higher than when a normal flame burns.
Even in the more extreme state, the temperature can be close to the high temperature of the sun's surface.
There are very few materials on Earth that can withstand the scorching heat of this temperature.
Moreover, when he completely transforms himself into the form of a flame man, he can even use the gas produced by the flame's combustion to fly freely in the air.
This is a strong temptation that cannot be refused for any human being who yearns for the sky.
After discovering this property, Reed, who was excited, did not hesitate to return to Earth.
Then I experienced the exhilarating feeling of flying freely in the air like a superman.
"Mr. Superman, were you so excited when you first experienced flying?"
Soon, Reed, who relied on the portal to return to the space station, still couldn't hide the expression of excitement and excitement on his face, and asked Peter for advice.
"Well, a little bit......"
Remembering that he had just acquired superhuman abilities and awakened a biological force field, he couldn't wait to experience the excitement of flying.
Peter couldn't help but smile a little bit of memories.
However, as his strength grew, so did his flight speed, until this point it was almost impossible to measure numerically.
But his excitement about the first flight has waned.
Up to this point, he had almost completely turned flying into his instinct, and it had become a habit like a human being needed to eat and drink.
It seems that there will never be such a strong excitement about this again.
……
Now, what is certain is.
The superpower-granting device made by Reed does have the effect of giving humans special superpowers.
However, although the experiment was successful.
But it doesn't mean that the current level is already completely perfect.
At this moment, the superpowers given by this device are all random, and there is no way to give humans some kind of special superpowers.
Moreover, there is no precise conclusion about what kind of superpowers it can give to humans.
If you're lucky, you might be able to get a powerful and cool ability like Flame Manipulation, just like Reed.
However, if you're unlucky, I'm afraid you'll gain the ability to become a stone man like Ben in the original story.
Although the power gained is strong enough, I am afraid that few people can accept that their handsome face and body have become monsters made of stones.
So, Reed is not ready to stop researching this.
Naturally, Peter did not object to this, and let him continue his research.
"Mr. Superman, would you like to experience it too? See what kind of superpowers you can get? ”
Suddenly, Reed asked Peter, looking forward to him.
He was curious to know what kind of special abilities Peter would be able to obtain if he already possessed superhuman strength.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when your research is more complete and you can accurately endow humans with some special superpowers."
Thinking that he might lose this handsome face and become an ugly stone man, Peter naturally rejected Reed's proposal without hesitation.
"Also, while I'm now able to undo the effects of experiments on humans, I'm not really perfect."
Reed was also just a whim at this time, and he didn't feel too sorry for being rejected.
After all, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement in this device.
"By the way, Mr. Superman, during your time away from Earth, I didn't just work on this device that can give humans superpowers."
Reed seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Peter again with an excited face.
"I'm sorry to question the advice you gave me earlier, that it wasn't feasible to make a portal in the form of a toy gun."
"In fact, your proposal does seem to work."
Originally, Reed was somewhat skeptical of Peter's suggestion.
However, after some research, he realized that it was indeed possible, and that it could indeed make the bulky and huge portal more convenient and carryable.
"Look, this is the experimental version of the portal gun that I made according to your instructions."
As he spoke, Reed pulled out a device that looked like a toy water gun from the safe.
"The main structure of this portal gun is mostly made of vibranium, and the interior is powered by a small ark reactor, and it can be replaced."
"It has a tough shell that is not easily destroyed, and even if the energy device inside is damaged, it will not threaten the person who uses it."
Reed held the silvery-white teleporter made of vibranium and introduced it to Peter.
"However, this is only the first generation of experiments I have made, and the function is very simple, which is short-range positioning and teleportation."
"It's like this."
After the introduction, Reed did not hesitate to aim ahead, and then pulled the trigger of the portal gun.
Airplanes!
There was a strange vibration and humming sound.
On the silver-white barrel of the gun, you can see the rapid flow and convergence of energy from the Ark reactor towards the muzzle.
Eventually, a huge amount of energy formed a blue beam of energy like a stream of water at the muzzle of the gun, and then gushed out.
Soon, the spurting blue energy was less than a meter or so in front of him, forming a blue light curtain.
Under the flow and spread of the light curtain, a blue portal was quickly formed.
And in front of Reed, ten meters away, a blue portal was formed almost at the same time.
With the two portals created, Reed did not hesitate to put away the portal gun and step into the portal.
Almost instantly, he walked out of another portal.
"Mr. Superman, how are you feeling?"
Turning off the energy supply of the portal gun, the portal slowly dissipated into space.
Then, Reed looked at Peter expectantly, waiting for his comment.
"Not bad......
In fact, the original proposal was originally just a simple joke made by Peter.
I didn't expect Reed, this guy, to actually make it.
"However, you just said that it can only teleport over short distances, so how short is that distance?"
Then Peter asked Reed with interest.
Portals were originally created to facilitate long-distance transmission.
If this portal gun can only teleport within a range of a few tens of meters, it won't have much effect at all.
"Hmm...... Because of the particularity of the teleportation gun, it requires a huge amount of energy to locate the coordinates, so with our energy technology at this time, we can only achieve short-distance teleportation, but cannot shuttle between galaxies in the universe at will. ”
Reed groaned for a moment, and then did not shy away from introducing the shortcomings of his experimental portal gun.
"After testing, its maximum teleportation distance is now within the range from the surface of the earth to the space station."
"However, the improved new teleportation gun can already teleport between the moon and the earth at the limit of the teleportation distance."
"However, it should be noted that the farther the teleportation, the more energy is consumed, and relying on the teleporter's own energy, it may not be possible to keep the portal open for a long time."
"So for safety reasons, it's best to teleport from a safe distance, otherwise accidents may occur, such as the sudden closure of the portal, cutting in half the object that has not yet had time to leave the portal."
Reid said in a low tone, as if he was not satisfied with the performance of the portal gun at this moment.
"This distance...... Seems to be enough. ”
In fact, at this moment, the data of the teleporter gun has already satisfied Peter.
After all, it's just the first experiment.
Creating something from scratch is the most difficult process.
"Mr. Superman, don't worry, I will do my best to improve the function of the teleportation gun in the future, and strive to make it possible to teleport between galaxies as soon as possible."
Reid assured Peter confidently.
"I'm looking forward to that moment!"
Peter said expectantly.
In fact, he was looking forward to a teleportation gun like Lord Rick, who could travel through the multiverse at will.
……
At the same time, countless light-years away from Earth, in the starry sky of the universe.
A spaceship is speeding through the starry sky.
"Little raccoon, are you sure there is really a treasure worth a medium-sized spaceship here?"
There were three people in the spaceship.
No, to be precise, it should be two humanoids and a raccoon that looks like a furry toy.
"Damn Quill, how many times have I told you, call me Rocket, not Raccoon!"
He was looking at the detector and piloting the ship's rocket, and he didn't hesitate to spew at Star-Lord.
"Okay, raccoon!"
Star-Lord continued with a smirk.
"Damn it......"
Rocket was just about to have a real PK with Star-Lord, when he heard the strong man with a simple face next to him, pointing to the space in the distance, and said with a surprised face.
"Look, what's that?"
They looked into the distance again, and saw that in the middle of space, there seemed to be a nebula, slowly floating in space.
"Are you sure, raccoon, this is the treasure we're looking for?"
The rocket looked at the monitors on the spacecraft with some uncertainty, and found that the location marked on the monitors was indeed not far ahead of them.
"Damn raccoon, you can't get your brain broken by those prison guards, right?"
"What kind of valuable treasure is this, it's just a nebula floating in the universe."
Star-Lord had an ugly expression on his face, they had just escaped from prison and formed a temporary plunder team, and their first treasure hunting trip failed like this.
"Impossible, according to the mark of the cosmic star map, there shouldn't be such a huge nebula here."
The rocket opened the cosmic star map on the spaceship, looked at the planet logo that represented the existence of intelligent civilization, and his eyes showed strong incomprehension.
"Get out of the way, let me see what's going on!"
Star-Lord pushed the raccoon away, then sat down in the driver's seat and opened the star map to look at it.
"Huh? Strangely, this should not be a nebula, but a planet with hundreds of millions of intelligent creatures and a civilization level of less than one level. ”
However, Star-Lord soon discovered that the situation marked on the star map was no different from what Rocket said.
"Could it be that the star map we bought is outdated?"
"Damn the Star Map Merchant, we'll go back to him now to settle accounts!"
Suddenly thinking that he might have been deceived by the Star Map Merchant, Star-Lord was angry and prepared to turn the ship around and go back to the damn Star Map Merchant to settle accounts.
"Wait, do you see that nebula is moving?"
Although Drax has a simple face, he seems to have a strong sense of observation at the moment.
"That's right, the nebula is moving! What's going on? ”
Several people carefully observed the huge nebula, their eyes full of curiosity and doubt.
"Could it be that this nebula floating in the universe has just moved here, and then completely covered the planet in it?"
Rocket and Star-Lord glanced at each other, both understanding the thoughts in each other's eyes.
"Forget it, let's get closer and take a closer look!"
Star-Lord then slammed the ship into action and flew towards the nebula, ready to get a closer look.
"Wait, something is wrong!"
Just as their ship was about to approach the Nebula, Rocket suddenly spoke to stop Star-Lord from getting closer.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? Why is there so much space junk? ”
As the ship approached, the nebula began to tumble rapidly.
And behind the nebula, with the surging of the nebula, it constantly gushes out impurities like space junk.
The amount is as large as if it were a garbage heap pouring out in an instant.
Almost buried the spaceship that it couldn't avoid completely.
"Fack!"
Suddenly, as a pile of space junk was poured out, the violently rolling nebula suddenly stopped, and then accelerated suddenly, changed direction, and flew out rapidly.
It's even a few points faster than their ship.
"Is this nebula alive?"
Looking at the nebula that flew away quickly, the eyes of Star-Lord and the others were full of shock.
This nebula is like a living creature with life and consciousness.
"Wait, look, is that what you just said, the planet with intelligent life?"
When a few people withdrew their attention from the rapidly drifting nebula.
I finally saw that in the area that had just been shrouded by the nebula, an incomparably broken planet had emerged at this moment.
The surface of the planet was covered with huge rifts, filled with the breath of dead silence, and even the entire planet was almost cracked and split in half.
And the exposed star core has long lost all luster and vitality.
At this moment, the planet has completely become a death star, and can only be reduced to space junk, floating in the universe.
"This planet has completely lost all vitality and energy, and its essence has already undergone great changes, even inferior to space meteorites."
"It's as if something has completely sucked up all the energy in it."
The rocket maneuvered the spacecraft's probe to check the state of the planet at the moment, only to discover this astonishing conclusion.
"A nebula that devours planetary energy? Have you ever heard of this legend that is famous in the universe? ”
Suddenly, Star-Lord's face changed, as if he had thought of something terrible.
