#542 - The Birth of the Lantern

Unlike the magic of other universes, the magic of the BEN10 universe is actually another form of manipulating mana. Generally speaking, as long as you master the relevant spells and have enough mana reserves, you can do almost anything.

Like pulling the omniscient and omnipotent Celestials down from their pedestals, such things can be done. So, modifying OBA's power can naturally be done as well.

The premise is that OBA himself doesn't resist. Although the power he wields is immense, Anodites are purely glass cannons in the face of high-level beings. It's too difficult for him to directly confront OBA.

However, now with X-Stinkfly's help, it's different. With a front-line tank to absorb damage, Anodite can naturally focus on casting magic, and a successful 'free purchase' is only a matter of time.

When time is involved, it naturally enters a protracted war. The people engaged in the battle naturally don't notice the passage of time, but Valeria, who is slightly more idle, is different.

She looked up and stretched her sore neck, and found that what was originally mid-morning had unknowingly turned into dusk.

As the sun gradually set, this long war of attrition finally came to an end, and OBA was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Without any extra twists and turns, although OBA is the other side of the creator, His influence on reality is always His greatest weakness. With just X-Stinkfly, He can be suppressed.

With his host half-dead and himself suppressed, it's a miracle that OBA has lasted this long. X-Stinkfly can feel that the other party is at the end of his rope.

OBA also knew that this war of attrition would definitely not end in His victory. Although this is the Marvel universe, a superhero won't suddenly pop out to help him, after all, He is the biggest villain.

However, although what He lost this time was the power at His root—anger, the actual impact on him is not very significant. It's not even a drop in the bucket, and he can recover in no time.

But these are not the point. The point is that He has fallen twice at the hands of the same human. This is unacceptable to Him. Since the beginning of His existence, OBA has never suffered such a great loss.

'I'll remember you.'

A faint whisper echoed in X-Stinkfly's ear, followed by a burst of lightness. X-Stinkfly could feel that OBA had given up. He left, no longer entangled with Yang Le, and abandoned this part of the energy.

"It's done!"

At the same time, the work of the Anodite responsible for seizing authority also came to an end. He loudly reminded everyone, afraid of missing the opportunity.

"Now's the time! AmpFibian!"

X-Stinkfly and Anodite released their holds at the same time, and Ultimate AmpFibian went full power, with all six horsetails simultaneously absorbing the energy in the jar. This was much more difficult than absorbing the Sentry's energy before.

The previous Sentry bomb was just a large quantity, while this time it was a difference in quality. Simply put, it was too pure, the kind that would send an ordinary creature straight to heaven with just a sip.

Ultimate AmpFibian didn't dare to stop for a moment. After converting the energy in his body, he returned the energy to the jar behind him once again. He was afraid that after eating this fine food, he would never be able to eat roughage again.

"Conversion complete!"

As soon as Ultimate AmpFibian finished speaking, Anodite once again recited obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations. Even though he was also a member of Yang Le's split consciousness, none of the other split consciousnesses present could understand what he was reciting, only feeling that it was very high-level.

Accompanied by Anodite's incantations, purple mana gathered on the jar. In the mental space, Anodite more directly felt the gold content of this creator's anger.

Fortunately, he was a pure energy body, otherwise it was very likely that his brain would be blown up by this surging anger.

The incantations continued, the mana pulsed, and time passed by every minute and every second. Just when Ultimate AmpFibian, carrying the jar, was about to become impatient, he suddenly felt movement on his back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by several crisp sounds of metal striking, Ultimate AmpFibian only felt that the jar on his back seemed to be carrying a living thing, and the other party was currently rampaging in the jar, like a little bird trying to break out of its shell. It was just a little too energetic.

"This guy is really special." Ultimate AmpFibian's inappropriate sense of humor struck again.

"Has anyone ever seen fetal movement coming from their back?"

"Pfft!"

Except for Anodite, the few idle split consciousnesses looked in the direction of the sound, and found that the whisper came from Valeria standing behind Ultimate Spidermonkey….

"Uh, sorry." Valeria coughed lightly, covering her mouth with her right hand to hide her blushing cheeks. When someone tells a joke, and including the person who told the joke, when you think that no one laughed except you, it is definitely one of the most awkward situations.

"Shut up, hippie." Upgrade, who hadn't spoken for a long time, interjected. "Even if there's fetal movement, it's my fetal movement, and that's my belly."

No one laughed this time, at the cost of Valeria pinching her arm red.

"Bang!"

The joke time had just passed when the jar on Ultimate AmpFibian's back cracked open with a loud noise, and a pair of huge, scarlet hands were the first to reach out. Then the hands tore the opening even wider, and as the opening expanded, everyone saw the whole picture of that thing.

It was a giant with a scarlet body, about three meters tall. You couldn't see his face because his head was covered by a full-coverage horned helmet. Besides that, the giant only wore a loincloth to cover his lower body, and all other parts were exposed.

"It's born, it's born, it's a muscular strongman without a face." Ultimate AmpFibian exclaimed in feigned surprise.

"It's a pity you can't see his face, I wonder if he's the second Nator."

"This topic is over." X-Stinkfly stopped AmpFibian's idea of playing old jokes and looked at Anodite next to him and asked.

"How is it? Was it successful?"

Don't look at the fact that this thing in front of you already has a physical form, but without asking the midwife, who knows if there are any defects.

"It was successful, and it was simpler than I thought." Anodite waved his hand to disperse the excess mana in his hand. "That energy seemed to have its own consciousness, and I just guided it a little and it completed all the work itself."

"In simple terms, the baby not only crawled out by itself, but also cut the umbilical cord by the way."

"I understand now." Ultimate AmpFibian nodded.

Just as everyone was discussing, the giant seemed to suddenly sense something, turned his head to look at Frank, who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, turned into a red light and entered his body.
