Chapter 590: Fighting with the Cosmic Cube
Eric waved the cosmic control stick until his hands were sore, but the trace of transcendent energy just wouldn't come out.
In the end, his body was already scarred, and the divine power in his body was limp and huddled in the corner. Instead, the trace of transcendent energy occupied most of the space in his body, wandering around and showing off its power.
Eric sat on the ground, panting, his eyes red, gritting his teeth, "Are you coming out?"
...
No answer.
Eric slapped his head, and was so angry that he was confused. Can energy talk?
He forced himself to calm down and think carefully.
Energy has no consciousness, even if it is energy that transcends the gods, it should not have consciousness, but what is going on here?
Why does it feel like someone has fallen into someone else's trap again? Who is it that has been calculating against him?
"Now is not the time to think about this, think about how to get this thing out first..." Eric was suddenly stunned, his eyes became more and more sharp, "Why should I get it out? If it doesn't come out, I can just eat it!"
That's right, swallow it!
Eric's eyes shone brightly, but he immediately restrained them.
Even if he wanted to swallow it, he couldn't be reckless. What if this was another trap?
After a little thought, he swallowed more than a dozen star-eating bees. Under his control, they roamed around along the blood vessels and soon blocked the trace of transcendent energy.
"Eat! Bite this grandson to death!" Eric screamed fiercely, and the star-eating bees followed his wishes and ate up the trace of transcendent energy.
Hmm? Nothing?
Eric spit out the star-eating bee, looked up and down curiously, and found that the star-eating bee was actually fine. After waiting for a while, there was still no problem. He made up his mind and tried to pick up one and put it in his mouth...
The star-eating bee was swallowed and released energy in his stomach. The transcendent power seemed to have been tamed, and it obediently drilled into his limbs and bones and integrated into every cell of his body.
"It tastes good, a bit like lemon, but a little less." Eric smacked his lips. His old habit from the Devourer of Planets came back. He didn't think about it carefully. He threw the remaining ten or so Star-Eating Bees into his mouth and chewed them.
In fact, how could he bite them? The Star-Eating Bees were only a little bit bigger. His action was just a psychological hint to trick his brain.
That trace of transcendent energy returned to his body again and became inseparable from him. It was not until then that Eric woke up from his dream.
"What the hell did I do?" Eric was stunned. It was so hard to expel the transcendent energy, but he ate it again?
He hurriedly checked his body and found nothing abnormal, but he could never get that trace of transcendent energy out again.
"Someone is cheating me! It must be!" Eric stood up immediately and looked around vigilantly. He always felt that there were eyes staring at him from behind.
…
“Tsk tsk, did he find out?” A dark figure hidden in the void looked at Eric jokingly and muttered to another figure beside him.
“Hehe, how could that be? He was tricked too many times, so it was a subconscious action.” Another person covered his face and laughed. Judging from the action, it was a woman.
“Yes, we have tricked him so many times…”
“What? The insidious god of conspiracy actually found his conscience?”
“Of course not, it’s just that being with the god of death, it’s inevitable to have some feelings…”
For a long while, the two stopped talking, and it took a long time before a faint sigh came, “It’s almost over…”
“Yeah, these days are finally over, but I suddenly feel a little reluctant to let this guy go.”
“The final choice is in his hands. He has the final say whether to let him go or not.”
“Are we being too cruel to him like this?”
“Maybe…”
…
Eric looked suspiciously for a long time, but he didn’t find any clues of being tricked. He couldn’t help wondering, is it really him who is too suspicious?
But this trace of transcendent energy is too weird to eat.
"Never mind, no matter what, even if someone tries to trick me, I have to pass this level first!" Eric shook his head and sat down again, no longer paying attention to the energy in his body, and used the cosmic control rod to pull out a trace of transcendent energy again, carefully attaching it to the Ultimate Eraser.
Then what? There was no change...
"Strange, it can't be done, the method is wrong?" Eric concentrated on thinking, and changed his posture again.
This time, it still didn't work.
"Could it be that I have to make a wish? The omnipotent cosmic cube, help me upgrade the Ultimate Eraser! Is this possible? Nonsense... huh? I..."
Eric made a wish as a joke, and thought there would be no reaction, but unexpectedly, the trace of energy actually flashed and integrated into the Ultimate Eraser very cooperatively...
What is the principle?
Eric's eyes were straight, and it took a long time for him to react with a start. He hurriedly pulled out another strand and put it on the Ultimate Eraser, and made a wish.
Then, nothing happened.
"What's going on? Is it because I'm not sincere?" Eric complained crazily, and started to experiment again and again, "I don't believe this! I must find the pattern today!"
...
On the other side, Doctor Strange and Michelangelo took two teammates and split into two groups, going upstream along the timeline. After skipping more than 3,000 years of history, they finally came to ancient Egypt, during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten.
The timeline here is the same as what Doctor Strange had explored beforehand, divided into countless small segments, although not one segment for every millisecond, but there are so many that Doctor Strange's scalp numbs.
Finding Thanos in so many time fragments is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
Doctor Strange and Michelangelo met, each responsible for one side, starting from both sides of time and looking in the middle at the same time.
Doctor Strange traveled back more than a hundred years, probably to 1400 BC, and then began to drift along the timeline, with Captain America at the helm and he responsible for a large-scale search.
Michelangelo was just the opposite. Starting from 1200 BC, he started to push forward one minute and one second. This was much more difficult than going downstream. Howard's time machine did not have such strong control capabilities, so Michelangelo had to take the helm himself. Howard used his scepter to temporarily transform the time machine and turned it into a large radar that specifically received abnormal situations on the timeline.
Two groups of four people, one in front and one behind, sandwiched two hundred years of time, covered all the time fragments, and tried not to miss any suspicious places.
They all knew that it was related to the safety of the universe, and no one dared to relax their vigilance.
…
Returning to Earth, Eric lived his life in the laboratory again. The strangeness of the transcendental energy was beyond his imagination. It can be said that there was no pattern at all.
But this was the only way he could think of at the moment, and the only hope for the universe. He could not give up, and could only fight against the Cosmic Cube!
