Chapter 674 Someone stole electricity without taking me! (Part 1)
Next to the energy center of the Karma Taj Research Center, Schiller and Strange looked at each other. Strange lowered his head and glanced at his watch and said, "Did it take a little too long for him to go up?"
Schiller also looked at his watch. Before Stark was upgraded, the planned time for him to ascend to the universe should not exceed 30 seconds, but it was almost a minute now, and Stark still had not recovered.
Schiller frowned and thought for a moment, but felt that this time was still within a safe range, so he said: "Let's wait a little longer. If there is no news after one and a half minutes, we will contact Master Gu Yi."
Strange had already taken out his cell phone. If Stark did not come back for a long time, he was going to contact Ancient One, and then ask Ancient One to find Eternity to observe Stark's situation.
But just when the time reached one minute, a golden light suddenly lit up over Kama Taj. Strange took two steps back, looked at the light on the protective shield and said: "This is... there is a new one
The devil was born????On earth, Tony is afraid..."
Strange took a deep breath and suppressed the gloomy expression on his face. He tried to calm down, and then said calmly: "All the magicians of Kama Taj gather together! Once Tony Stark in the form of the devil is discovered,
, don’t act rashly, let him leave the earth first..."
"Wait, Tony shouldn't be promoted so easily..." Schiller also frowned. He was confident in Stark's self-control. In the dream world, he could create a city in an instant, which proved that
His control over the soul is very strong, much stronger than most creatures in this universe.
That's why Schiller agreed to let Stark take another look, because he knew that Stark was rational enough to suppress those distracting thoughts. As long as he was unwilling to upgrade, he would not become a demon.
But now, the situation is beyond everyone's expectations. Just when Stark was promoted to the universe, a new demon god appeared on the earth. This cannot be a coincidence. The only possibility is that Stark
Ke Zhen transformed into a god.
Just as the mages were gathering towards the energy center, suddenly, the light of magic flickered again, a neon beam descended from the sky, Stark's figure appeared in the light, Strange and all the other mages
Everyone was stunned.
"Tony, you didn't...then what's going on with that new god?" Strange asked very puzzledly, and then he saw Stark showing an angry expression, and he looked around
The mage stretched out his hand helplessly and said:
"Don't do anything yet... It's hard for me to explain to you, but now, I want to go up again, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Wait!" Strange called him again.
"I really don't have time to explain now!" Stark seemed to be suppressing his anger. He took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry about me. As long as I don't want to upgrade, I won't become a demon..."
Stark was about to leave again, but Strange stopped him again. If Stark wanted to say anything else, Strange spoke first: "Do you know how much magic energy it takes for you to upgrade for one second?
How to calculate the electricity bill?”
"I will pay!" Stark said angrily. After saying that, he transformed into the devil form again and ascended to the universe.
Strange, who was still standing on the ground, sighed, waved to the group of archmages, and said, "Let's disperse. Oh, wait a minute, don't leave yet. Who is in charge of the finance department?"
The other great mages all took a step back. Wang appeared in front of the crowd and said helplessly: "Who else can be there besides me?"
Strange put his arm around his shoulders and led him away while saying, "Did you hear just now? What did Tony Stark say?"
"Well... he said, don't worry about him, and he also said that he can control whether he wants to become a demon god. To be honest, this is a bit powerful. As long as the magic energy is sufficient, wouldn't he be able to maintain a state above the universe?"
Wang said with great sigh.
"Who told you this? Didn't you hear? Did he just say that he would pay?" Strange looked at Wang with an expression that said, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Magical energy cannot be measured in any currency. It is a priceless treasure. Of course, it is not Kamal Taj's style to ask for sky-high prices. We must learn from famous teachers and learn from famous teachers. Do you understand?" Strange hugged Wang.
With his shoulder, he pulled him towards her and said in a low voice:
"Kama Taj's funding for the next season depends on the subsequent loss report. You should be sure, right?"
Wang showed a troubled expression, and Strange waved his hand, then said: "Think about the market price of molten steel, then think about vibranium, which has fallen but is still expensive, and then think about the precious metal raw materials needed for mithril.
, the price of those precious gems used to store energy..."
Unexpectedly, Wang maintained his embarrassed expression and said: "Kama Taj's magic energy has to be supplied to so many mages, and so much has been lost at once. Our next three... I mean, 13 projects will be affected.
, the losses caused are immeasurable..."
Strange released his hold on Wang and gave him a thumbs up.
Before turning around and leaving, he pulled the corners of his eyes down with his hands, giving Wang a sadder expression. Then he pointed at Wang's face, and Wang gave him an OK gesture.
When Strange returned to the energy center, he saw Schiller talking on the phone. When Schiller saw Strange coming over, he hung up the phone. He winked at Strange and said,
When he walked to a deserted area, Schiller looked at his mobile phone and said, "Open the door and go to Nick's office in SHIELD. We have something to talk about."
With a "swish", a portal opened. When Schiller and Strange landed, Rocky and Nick were already sitting on the sofas on both sides.
The four of them sat down on the sofas in four directions, and after exchanging glances with each other, they knew what the theme of this meeting was.
Some people must still remember that the last gathering of the Immoral Fourth Power caused great misfortune to some people, and this gathering was no exception. Schiller, the organizer of the gathering, gave a speech first.
"I believe you all have figured out the source of the power of faith in Peter. Then, next, Stephen will introduce to us what this power does."
The words were handed to Strange. He took a sip of coffee, sighed, and then said: "As we all know, all the power in this universe comes from the origin of the universe. The origin energy can be mobilized and mixed by different creatures.
use."
"Some creatures are born with the ability to convert the energy of the universe into energy that they can use, such as you..." Strange looked at Loki, who nodded, and he continued:
"There are also creatures that cannot actively use this power, or in other words, use this energy in different ways."
"The reason why human beings' faith is so valuable is that when humans supply the energy of the origin of the universe to the devil through faith, since they themselves cannot use this energy, the energy transmission is completely lossless."
"Human souls can process this energy and make it more refined, but since humans cannot actively use it, this refined energy will be transmitted to the objects of their faith without reservation. Therefore, the demon gods
They all like to come to the earth to preach, and the energy a believer can provide them here is ten times or even a hundred times that of other creatures."
"However, not all human beings are unable to use this energy. For example, mages can use magical energy."
"Whether it is the power of faith or magical energy, they are all ways of evolution of the original energy of the universe. Some have a shallower degree of evolution, some have a deeper degree of evolution, and depending on the degree of evolution, they can be transformed into different types of energy.
Bioavailability…”
"Similarly, they can be converted into each other. For example, the power of faith can be converted into magical energy, and because the evolution of the power of faith is relatively shallow, it can be converted into a large amount of magical energy."
"For example, most of the demon gods who left the earth were ordinary humans. The reason why they were able to upgrade was simply because they collected enough power of faith."
"On the other hand, if an ordinary human collects enough magical energy, he can also convert this energy into the power of faith, and finally he can become a demon. These are all different ways."
"As for the role of magical energy, I shouldn't need to say more, right? Of course, I am not arrogant, but I must say that even many types of energy that are more powerful than magical energy may not be in the hands of humans.
It’s so useful to have magical energy.”
"It is precisely because of the fragility of the human body that we have to use various methods to deepen the evolution of energy, no longer destructive, and become more refined. At the same time, because the magical energy that humans can obtain is really
Too little. In this case, Karma Taj was forced to develop the method of energy utilization to the extreme..."
"Because of humankind's poverty in terms of energy, we have cultivated every bit of magical energy to the extreme for tens of thousands of years, and as a result, we have evolved unique magical technology."
Strange raised his tone, and his voice revealed natural confidence: "There are too many races in the universe that are more powerful than us, but since the emergence of the human race, the place where we are ahead of other races is that we
That unparalleled ability to make and utilize tools.”
"It is precisely because of our weakness that we have engraved cost reduction and maximum efficiency into our genes. And when one day, we have enough resources at our disposal, the rise of mankind will be unstoppable."
Nick and Schiller clapped vigorously. Obviously, Strange's words had both content and connotation. He had grown a lot during the time he became the Supreme Mage.
From an apprentice who knew nothing about magic and occultism, to the Supreme Mage who towered over the entire occult world, Strange not only opened the door to a new world, but also opened a pattern and vision.
After Strange's speech ended, Schiller continued: "Since this energy can be utilized by humans, I think this seems to be another good opportunity to add to the stock of human magical energy."
"Director Nick, what do you think?"
Nick adjusted the position of his blindfold, touched his forehead, and showed a smile. He also took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and said:
"Let me first state that everyone on earth should have absolute freedom of belief. I do not agree with Kama Taj monitoring the flow of human beliefs."
"Human beings are so weak, and their beliefs cannot change anything. Even if they believe in evil gods, it must be those cosmic demons who have deceived weak humans with their sweet words."
"We should always reject the theory of victim guilt. Therefore, it is unfair to monitor human victims. To ensure the security and peace of the universe, we must severely punish the culprits."
"The demon gods deceived faith from humans... Yes, it was deception. Without informing humans of the value of the power of faith, they defrauded humans of their most precious possessions with petty profits that were completely unequal to the harvest.
Belief."
"In addition to not paying enough to humans, it also deceived humans' precious feelings. Supreme Mage, what do you think of this evil behavior of the demon gods?"
Strange shook his head and sighed: "In fact, I feel sad and angry about this. Human beings started to use energy late. Therefore, in our ignorant years, those greedy vampires
, relying on their information superiority, ruthlessly squeezing poor humans, using those pitiful meager rewards, defrauding us of our extremely precious power of faith..."
Strange covered his face, as if he was choked with so much sadness that he couldn't speak any more. Nick snorted coldly and said:
"In this case, I propose that the demon god of the universe has an obligation and responsibility to take responsibility for this. Human beings should use various methods, including violent means, to take back the power of faith that has been exploited and plundered. This is human civilization's move towards exploitation and aggression.
