American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, Locke slowly opened his eyes, a strange green light flashing in them.

He let out a deep breath: "Success! A close call, but no real danger."

With a reach, the Ice Crystal Gauntlet appeared on his hand. Fairy power gathered into a green gem, which gently sank into the hidden slot of the Ice Crystal Gauntlet. Instantly, another surge of power flowed into his body, and Locke's combat power rose once again.

"I don't need a combat power detector. My current combat power has definitely exceeded 90,000, and I have entered the ranks of the Almighty Heavenly Father."

This is just the normal combat power. If you add the Destroyer Armor, and then consider the two ultimate moves, Spacetime Collapse and the aggregation of five divine powers, the true limit of combat power...

A smile unconsciously appeared on Locke's lips.

Even if Thanos of the Graveyard of Gods truly breaks through the limitations of single-target attacks, he is still fearless now. Who will win and who will lose will only be known after the fight.

The next moment, Locke closed his eyes again. He was so eager to upgrade the fairy power that he hadn't had a chance to properly experience what kind of power the fairy power actually was.

A moment later, Locke reopened his eyes, a fleeting look of horror in them.

Of the three great forces of the universe, the power of chaos is the most versatile. It can modify probabilities, set rules, exert telekinesis, control, and much more. Its core ability is creation.

The Phoenix Force has fewer abilities, but it still possesses telekinesis and other powers. Its core abilities are destruction and rebirth.

The power of fairies is the purest and the most singular, possessing only the ability to devour. This is the core and the only one!

But it is precisely because of its purity and singularity that this unique ability is all the more powerful. It is said to surpass the devouring power of the Devourer, the Lord of Devouring, and its strength is unimaginable.

But now Locke realized that he had greatly underestimated the power of this rarely seen fairy!

The power of fairies can devour all energy and abilities and turn them into its own. What's even more terrifying is that the power of fairies is passively activated and targets everything!

Fairy power is not limited to devouring energy, power, or the like; this power can even devour some intangible things, such as curses.

The power of the fairies is almost a fully enhanced version of the power of the Black King Shaw from the old Hellfire.

That Black King Xiao can absorb kinetic energy and has already shown an almost invincible sense of oppression, but he is still limited by mental power.

Fairy power is different; it can even devour invisible curses, let alone the power of the mind.

Most importantly, the upper limit of fairy power far exceeds that of Black King Shaw. Black King Shaw almost couldn't withstand absorbing a small nuclear bomb, but fairy power wouldn't be like that.

In theory, the power of fairies could even completely devour the universe, and continue to spread, even devouring endless parallel universes.

Of course, this is only in theory. While the power of fairies can achieve those things, Locke's body cannot withstand them. It is Locke himself who limits the exertion of the power of fairies.

More accurately, it's Locke's life level. The limitation that fairy power creates when the host's ability is insufficient is simple: the upper limit of absorption is equivalent to life level +1!

It's not just adding one to a small level, but reaching a higher realm!

Just like Luo now, although his normal combat power is that of an omnipotent Heavenly Father, his life level is only that of a lower-level Heavenly Father. Therefore, the upper limit of the devouring power of the fairy is that of a lower-level single entity!

Anything that does not exceed the level of a single entity—all energy, matter, curses, and even rules—is within the scope of the fairy's power to devour.

This is an invincible force! The strongest defensive force, bar none!

A serious look appeared in Locke's eyes. Now, recalling the three great forces of the universe, he realized a problem.

The power of chaos, the strongest support ability.

Phoenix Power, the strongest offensive capability (plus resurrection).

Fairy power, the strongest defensive ability.

The combination of these three forces is very much like the sum of all energies in the world, infinitely close to omnipotence.

“It’s already strange that the three powers can surpass the multiverse in terms of level, and then there’s this feeling of being infinitely close to omnipotence…” Locke had a rather bold idea in his mind.

Are there any One-Above-All (OAA) level beings that have fallen in the Marvel universe?

No one could tell Locke the answer to this question, not even those with memories of their past lives.

Locke remembered that below the One AA was the Living Tribunal, and there was supposedly also the First Firmament.

As for the Transcendent? A guy who can't even handle molecular humans, how can he be compared to the OAA?

"Never mind~" Locke rubbed his temples. It was too early to think about those things now. At the very least, he would wait until he became a multi-dimensional being before he thought about them.

"Speaking of which, it seems I now possess the ability to help people break through individual limitations~"

The biggest problem for the Father in breaking through to a single entity is that the cosmic energy is too terrifying. Without a strong physical body, it is impossible to withstand the baptism of cosmic energy. However, the current fairy power can devour any matter or energy that does not exceed the level of a single entity, so it can naturally devour the cosmic power that assists in breaking through to a single entity.

"The only question is... is this kind of shortcut allowed?"

The Living Tribunal, the chief steward of the multiverse, is incredibly aloof and doesn't even bother with the multiverse itself. Whether it will pay attention to this kind of opportunistic breakthrough is anyone's guess.

"We can try asking Odin then."

Since Odin is going to die anyway, there's no reason for him not to seize the opportunity to break through.

Even if there are risks, he can just tell him in advance. Compared to the possibility of attracting that cosmic steward, Odin will most likely choose to take the risk, because not taking the risk will definitely lead to death, while taking the risk may only lead to death. The choice is obvious.

The next moment, Locke's gaze fell on the ice crystal gauntlets. Compared to Odin's unknown problems, there was no reason why he couldn't help his own weapon advance and break through.

If it weren't possible, there would be no way for a single super artifact to be created in the universe.

The Ice Crystal Gauntlets and Destroyer Armor are both good options for upgrading to single-target damage; perhaps the Eternal Spear could also be considered.

Locke has borrowed the Eternal Spear several times and found it quite easy to use. Perhaps he could discuss with Odin about having Locke forged a new one. After all, with Odin being a 'god-level blacksmith,' he can forge anything except single-target super artifacts; he's just too lazy to do it regularly.

Thinking this, Locke's brows gradually furrowed.

The artifact's advancement is no problem, but Thanos, the graveyard of gods, won't just stand by and watch it advance.

The reason they didn't act earlier might have been due to prudence, and also because the opponent was confident that once they reached the single-target level, they could completely defeat Locke. However, if Locke were to upgrade multiple artifacts to single-target level in succession, Thanos of the Graveyard of Gods would definitely stop Locke unless he went mad.

Locke closed his eyes again, and the five powers on the ice crystal gauntlets shone brightly at the same time.

"Rules established - Thanos appears!"

In an instant, five forces intertwined to create terrifying rules.

However, one second, two seconds, three seconds... a while passed, and the other party still did not appear.

Locke frowned even more. He had been in the mood to play along with the other party before, but now that the other party was in his way, Locke naturally didn't mind dealing with him. But why couldn't he find (Ma De Hao)?

Can the Graveyard of God also isolate the search by five powerful forces?

Or has the other party already run away? Or is they no longer in this universe?

The former is unlikely, the latter...

"No, he probably didn't run away. There's no doubt about Thanos's love for death; he'd even risk his life for the sake of death."

"So, he has most likely run to some location that I can't detect now, and is deliberately avoiding my search."

For example, the death palace, that kind of place would most likely isolate Locke's search.

A moment of silence.

"It seems that the only option is to advance in another world."

Fortunately, as Ilúvatar mentioned before, other universes also have cosmic energy, so it is entirely feasible to ascend to other worlds.

Locke casually opened the dimensional trading interface. When his life level was still that of a sub-father, he could only open two trading interfaces at the same time. Now that he had broken through to the father level, he naturally had one more available.

"I need a new plane, one that is absolutely safe and will not affect the advancement of the artifact. Ideally, it should also have a large quantity of various metals, including all sorts of exotic metals, as advancement materials."

Locke already possesses the main materials, including Adamantium, Uru alloy, and Vibranium. However, advancement requires more than just main materials; it also necessitates a large amount of auxiliary materials. While it's not impossible to obtain these materials with Hellfire's abilities, it will take considerable time.

Ideally, we'd like to create a world where various metals are piled up like mountains, or even a world with special metals.

Chapter 127 Who is the prey? Who is the hunter?

The vast universe is filled with countless miracles that are beyond human imagination.

Planets composed entirely of gold, strange celestial bodies that have become diamond-like, and so on.

This place is even more special than other strange planets and celestial bodies.

This is a planet, and its name is Cybertron!

On Cybertron, Quintessa, the creator of everything, floats in mid-air. Her overall appearance resembles a mechanized human female figure. Her cold metallic body gives her a special sense of ruthlessness. Her expression remains unchanged year after year, making her look more like a god, a god who rules over everything!

"Cybertron's destruction is inevitable; I need to find new possibilities."

Suddenly, a mechanical voice rang in Quintasha's ears.

"When was the interdimensional space detected? Interdimensional transactions can begin. Do you wish to initiate interdimensional transactions?"

Quintasha's cold, metallic eyes widened instantly: "Who? Whose voice is that?"

Quintasha's metallic senses instantly spread outwards, taking in the entire surrounding landscape in a flash. However, she found nothing, couldn't find, and couldn't find any suspicious individuals at all.

As the creators of Cybertron, the silicon-based lifeforms, whether Autobots or Decepticons, all held Natasha in high regard. They would not disturb her unless absolutely necessary, and even if they did come, they would report in advance before they could pay their respects.

Quintessa is a mechanical life form, and compared to emotions such as doubt, she possesses a colder rationality.

If no unusual or suspicious individuals are found, then this is likely not a normal phenomenon.

"Interdimensional trading..."

As a god and creator, Quintessa would naturally be aware of the definition of a plane. Only those originating from different worlds and different dimensions can be called other planes.

"Trade across different worlds and dimensions~"

A human-like curiosity suddenly surfaced in Quintessa's cold, mechanical eyes.

"Turn on!"

As the creator of Cybertron, Quintessa has no fear of any life form in the known universe, not even life forms from other planes. Moreover, the existence of other planes is not yet certain.

413

As a light screen appeared, snowflake icons emerged, and the next moment, the scene suddenly became incredibly smooth, and a face appeared in Quintasha's sight.

"These life forms... carbon-based life, if I remember correctly, you should be called humans."

"Ridiculous, mere humans dare to call themselves life forms from other planes." The mockery was blatant and undisguised.

Locke ignored the other party's taunts. He was just a piece of trash; he could easily slap him to death later. The problem was, he knew the guy on the other side.

"Quintastha, the Creator of Cybertron~"

Quintasha raised her head slightly, her expression full of contempt: "You mere human, yet you know about Cybertron and even me. It seems you are quite a knowledgeable human, not some clueless piece of junk."

Locke's eyes flickered slightly. The Transformers world was pretty much as he had imagined.

In fact, in his mind, the Transformers world was one of the perfect options to help him complete his mission this time. The Terminator world was also an option, as it was full of metal Terminators and some strange technological metals. As for the Megazod world, well, forget about that one, it's too bizarre.

What Locke didn't expect was that the person he would trade with was Quintessa.

The methods and forms will naturally differ depending on the target individuals.

"Quintasha, want to make a deal?"

"A trade? Mere humans?"

Locke reached out and a piece of metal appeared in his hand.

"Vibranium, more than 100 billion times harder than steel, interested?"

Quintasha's cold, metallic eyes narrowed instantly: "A billion times that of steel! How is that possible!"

"Human, do you even understand what it means to be 100 billion times stronger than steel? Even Cybertron doesn't have such a magical metal!"

"That's why we need to trade, isn't it?"

After a moment of silence, Quintasha spoke: "How can I believe you!"

"You'll know once you make a transaction. Even if you get scammed, it's just a piece of metal."

Quintessa was convinced; after all, it was just a piece of metal, not a big problem. But even so, she still subconsciously threatened arrogantly, "Human, what you say makes sense, but if I really find out that you are lying to me, you, or the Earth behind you, will absolutely not be able to withstand my wrath!"

After saying that, Quintessa didn't even ask Locke what he wanted to trade. She just picked up a piece of Cybertronian metal from the roadside and chose to trade.

A moment later, a black hole appeared out of thin air.

Looking at the black hole before her, a strange glint flashed across Quintasha's cold, metallic eyes.

Soon, the deal was struck, and the black hole disappeared.

In the Marvel universe, Locke casually took the Cybertronian metal he had just traded. Before he could do anything, Quintessa's excited and high-spirited laughter came from the metal.

"Haha, it's actually true. A mere human has actually mastered technology comparable to the Space Bridge."

"Human, let me see your true secret!"

She wants vibranium, she wants humanity, and she wants secrets even more! She wants them all!
