Leaving Yondu's spaceship, Leo returned directly to the Erwin Laboratory Building.
After finding a random reason to send Lilith and Carol away, Leo went to his private laboratory alone and took out the Cosmic Spirit Ball from his storage belt.
"system!"
Staring at the cosmic spirit ball, Leo whispered in his heart, called out the system panel, and found the drawing of the cosmic spirit ball.
After studying it carefully and seriously several times, Leo thoroughly understood the method of opening the cosmic spirit ball and was confident.
Normally, the opening of the cosmic spirit ball requires the use of special instruments, which involves the process of "unlocking" and "unlocking". If one of the steps is wrong, the cosmic spirit ball cannot be opened.
But who is Leo? The king of lock picking and the nemesis of all locks!
When he opens the cosmic spirit ball, what tools are needed?
Mechanical power surged, and the palm-sized cosmic spirit ball slowly floated into the air, and began to rotate under the combined action of mechanical power and mental power.
Leo's control was extremely precise, and his mechanical power and mental power cooperated skillfully, as freely as breathing, without any mistakes. The cosmic spirit ball finally bloomed like a flower bud, split into two petals, and slowly opened.
A bright but not dazzling purple light emitted from the center of the cosmic spirit ball.
If you look closely, you will see that it is an ellipsoid-shaped stone with an irregular shape. It was touched by Leo with his telekinesis and held in the air.
This is one of the cosmic treasures condensed from the essence of the singularity when the universe first opened - the Power Gem!
It is said that the Power Stone contains great power, and those who control it are extremely powerful.
Not to mention breaking mountains and rocks, even drilling through a planet is no problem!
For a moment, Leo had the urge to hold the Power Stone directly with his hand!
But the Power Stone is not a Supreme Lord of the Rings, and it does not have the power to confuse people's hearts. Leo's reaction just now was purely due to his own desire. His reason is still there, and he understands that with his current body, he cannot directly touch the Power Stone.
But fortunately, he has other ways to master this innate wonder of the universe.
Suppressing his excitement, Leo raised his right hand slightly, and the simple and unpretentious advanced mechanical power conversion furnace emerged from his body and condensed into an entity in the palm of his hand.
Under the control of mechanical power, the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace was spinning smoothly, rising when facing the wind, and in an instant it became the size of a human head.
Holding the power gem in his left hand, Leo controlled the power gem to approach the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace.
bite!
There was a crisp sound, and the power gem fell on a certain surface of the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace, sinking into the groove, and being tightly sewn together.
That side of the furnace wall suddenly lit up with a rich purple light.
The palpitating energy is transmitted into the interior of the advanced mechanical conversion furnace along the complex lines made of Uru metal, and then, the entire furnace shines brightly in an instant.
The purple light illuminated the entire laboratory, and then slowly dimmed.
Finally, all the brilliance disappeared, and the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace turned into a simple and unpretentious appearance, quietly suspended in mid-air.
The mechanical force moved slightly, activating the Pym particles in the advanced mechanical force conversion furnace. The furnace quickly shrank, and when it came into contact with Leo's palm, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace with the power gem entered his body, Leo immediately felt something unusual, an illusory feeling of fullness.
The next moment, surging power surged out from Leo's Dantian and merged into his limbs.
His whole body was warm and full of strength. Leo had a feeling that he could kill ten thousand cows with one punch now!
The kind that can even break a horn!
At the same time, Leo felt that his physique was also growing rapidly. Unfortunately, there was no attribute display on the system panel. Otherwise, he felt that his physique column must be
+1,+1,+1……
Every minute and every second, Leo is getting stronger!
"Is this the ability of the combination of the power gem and the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace?" Leo was very surprised.
If this momentum continues, he feels that in a short while, his physique and strength will both catch up with or even surpass Carol!
And it's permanent!
But when Leo thought about it again, it didn't seem unreasonable.
Carol's power came from an experimental accident involving the space gem, but Leo directly obtained a power gem. The power gem and the space gem are on the same level. There is no reason for Leo to be beaten by the power gem. But Carol.
Thinking of this, Leo was very happy.
Maybe after a while, he can find Carol over, and the two of them have a hearty fight with bare hands to learn about each other's strengths and weaknesses!
Thinking like this, Leo closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.
Cells are dividing and multiplying rapidly, and weight is also increasing, but there is no obvious change in body shape. It is just more handsome and attractive.
He didn't become an explosive muscular man like the Hulk.
The increased weight is reflected in the cell density, and Leo's cell density is increasing in an exaggerated way.
Especially skin cells and muscle cells, their density has reached an outrageous level. Ordinary thermal weapons are probably not able to break Leo's body defense at this time!
"Hmm~"
This change was intoxicating. Leo closed his eyes comfortably and let out a low groan of satisfaction.
But just then...
"hiss!"
Leo suddenly felt a tearing pain in his body. The strengthening of his cells had almost reached the limit of carbon-based organisms - carbon-based cells in the ordinary sense could no longer be strengthened by the energy of the power gem.
But the power of the Power Stone naturally goes beyond that. It continues to strengthen Leo's body, and the next stage of strengthening is
It’s energy transformation!
The power gem will inject surging energy into each carbon-based cell to continue the great evolutionary process of the cell. Only in this way will the individual composed of cells be invincible and worthy of the identity of the owner of the power gem.
These are the information fed back to Leo by the cells' instincts, and they are unmistakable.
Discovering this, Leo suddenly realized that Carol's body cells had been energized by the energy of the space gem!
This is also the fundamental reason why her body lights up every time she flies or fights.
Because without her radiance, her body could only reach the limit of the carbon-based biological constitution and could no longer get stronger.
No matter how strong you are, you have to become like the Hulk and get bigger!
Only by activating the cosmic energy contained in every cell in her body can she break through the physical limits of carbon-based organisms and reach the point where she can punch through spaceships and even planets with her body.
"Hiss! It really hurts!" Leo was sweating profusely from the pain.
Discovering the true condition of Carol's body could not help Leo relieve the pain in his body at this time.
The reason why Carol was successfully strengthened was because of a coincidence, her physique perfectly matched the super-light engine made by Lawson using the space gems, which made her unique.
That cannot be copied!
If you have to copy, you can only create other supermen like Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver, not Carol.
Of course, if you want to say that it is because of the intervention of the will of the universe, it is probably more reasonable.
But at this moment, there is no will of the universe to help Leo, and his cells or DNA don't know how compatible they are with the Power Stone.
If the fit is too low, the process of cell energization will kill him!
At this critical moment, Leo did not panic too much and lost his mind, because he did not just sit still and wait for death. He had a way to escape from the current dangerous situation.
——That is to directly take out the advanced mechanical power conversion furnace inlaid with power gems from the body!
As long as the power gem is taken out and strengthened like water without a source or a tree without roots, it will stop immediately.
Moreover, his body, which has been strengthened to the limit of carbon-based organisms, will not disappear because of this.
Now Leo's physical fitness has surpassed that of Captain America. In a one-on-one fight with him, it can be 50-50!
Although Leo has received such great benefits from the Power Stone, Leo is unwilling to give up easily. He is very greedy and wants to get more.
And more importantly, he can actually hold on for a while longer.
Leo is not trying to hold on, he has a number in mind.
He felt that since the system had given this advanced mechanical power conversion furnace, there should not be no measures to deal with the power gem's rampage.
He has a mysterious confidence that the system will help him.
Otherwise, why is he the host and not someone else?
hiss!
ha!
The pain was still raging in Leo's body, and Leo continued to endure it while holding on to a glimmer of hope for the mysterious system of unknown origin.
One second...
Two seconds...
Five seconds...
Ten seconds...
Seconds are like years!
The pain doubled every second, and the energy in his cells expanded every second. Leo's spirit could still hold on, but his cells were about to fail.
Huge energy poured into the cells, generating high temperatures. If there was no way to vent this energy or guide it and store it...
Leo just gave up!
Time waits for no one and the situation is urgent.
Three seconds left!
Two seconds!
One second!
Leo is giving up!
But at this moment, a mysterious and mysterious voice sounded in Leo's ears, and a formula seemed to be poured directly into Leo's soul.
Leo knew this feeling, it was this feeling when he received the system reward.
[The host's soul strength passes the check, the host's willpower passes the check, and the "Mechanical Force Strengthening Method" is obtained. 】
