Chapter 542 Lantern Entity Born
Different from Magic in Other Universe, Magic in Ben 10 Universe is actually another form of using Celestial Energy. Generally speaking, as long as you master the relevant Incantation and possess sufficient reserves of Celestial Energy, you can achieve almost anything.
Just like pulling the omniscient and omnipotent Celestial Race down from their pedestals, such things are possible. Therefore, modifying OBA's Power is naturally also achievable.
The prerequisite is that OBA himself doesn't resist. Although the Power he wields is formidable, an Anodite is merely a Glass Cannon when facing high-Level beings. Asking him to confront OBA alone is still too much to ask.
However, now with X Diamond's help, things are different. With a front-line to absorb Damage, Anodite can naturally unleash Magic with full Power. Achieving zero-cost acquisition is only a matter of Time.
When Time is involved, it naturally leads to Attrition Warfare. Those engaged in the battle naturally lose track of Time, but Valeria, who has a bit more Free Time, is different.
She looked up and stretched her aching Neck, realizing that what had started as midday had unknowingly transitioned into Dusk.
As the Sun gradually descended, this protracted Attrition Warfare finally entered its final stage. OBA was gradually losing ground.
There were no further Unexpected Event. Although OBA is the other side of the Creator, His influence on Reality remains His greatest Weakness. Someone like Him could be suppressed by X Diamond alone.
With the Host half-dead and OBA himself suppressed, it's already a Miracle that OBA has lasted this long. X Diamond could sense that his opponent was at his last gasp.
OBA also knew that this Attrition Warfare could never end in His Victory. Although this is an American Comics World, no Super Hero would suddenly appear to help him, after all, He is the ultimate Villain.
However, although what was taken from Him this time was His Root Cause Power – Anger, the actual impact on Him isn't significant. It's less than a drop in the bucket. He would recover in no Time.
But these aren't the Key Point. The Key Point is that He has fallen twice in a row to the same Human. This is unacceptable to Him. Since His very inception, OBA had never suffered such a significant loss.
"I remember you."
An illusory Whispers echoed in X Diamond's ear, followed by a sense of lightness. X Diamond could feel that OBA had given up. He had departed, no longer entangled with Yang Le, relinquishing this portion of Energy.
"Completed!"
Simultaneously, Anodite's Work in charge of seizing Authority reached its final stage. He loudly reminded everyone, fearing they might miss the opportune moment.
"Now's the Time! Buzzshock!"
X Diamond and Anodite released their hold simultaneously. Ultimate Buzzshock went full Power, with his six Tails simultaneously absorbing the Energy from the Jar. This was significantly more challenging than absorbing the Sentinel's Energy previously.
The previous Sentinel Bomb was merely greater in quantity, but this time it's a qualitative difference. Simply put, it's too pure. Ordinary Creatures would ascend to heaven instantly upon contact.
Ultimate Buzzshock didn't dare linger for even a moment. After converting the Energy within his Body, he immediately returned it to the Jar on his back. He feared that after tasting such refined nourishment, he'd never be able to stomach coarse food again.
"Conversion complete!"
No sooner had Ultimate Buzzshock spoken than Anodite once again began reciting an obscure and complex Incantation. Even though he was also a Clone of Yang Le, none of the other Clones present could comprehend what he was chanting, only sensing its profound nature.
As Anodite chanted the Incantation, purple Celestial Energy coalesced above the Jar. Within the Mental Space, Anodite gained a more visceral understanding of the potency of this Creator's Anger.
Fortunately, he was a Pure Energy Body; otherwise, his Brain would likely have been detonated by this surging Anger.
The Incantation continued, Celestial Energy pulsed rhythmically, and Time ticked by second by second. Just as Ultimate Buzzshock, carrying the Jar on his Back, was growing impatient, he suddenly felt a commotion from his Back.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Accompanied by a few crisp metallic clangs, Ultimate Buzzshock felt as if the Jar on his Back contained a living creature. The entity within was thrashing about, like a Bird struggling to hatch from its shell, albeit with excessive vigor.
"This buddy is certainly unique." Ultimate Buzzshock's untimely sense of humor resurfaced.
"Has anyone ever witnessed fetal movement originating from the Back?"
"Pu-ch!"
Apart from Anodite, the Clones who were killing Free Time turned towards the Sound, discovering that the suppressed giggle originated from Valeria, standing behind Ultimate Way Big...
"Oh, excuse me." Valeria coughed lightly a few times, using her Right Hand to cover her Mouth to conceal her flushed cheeks. When someone tells a Joke, including the joker themselves, and you believe no one else has laughed aloud, it's undoubtedly one of the most awkward Situations imaginable.
"Shut up, Hippie." Upgrade, who hadn't spoken for a while, interjected. "Even if there's fetal movement, it's *my* fetal movement, and that's *my* Belly."
No one laughed this Time. The Price was Valeria pinching her Arm until it was red.
"Bang!"
No sooner had the Joke Time ended than the Jar on Ultimate Buzzshock's Back burst open with a deafening sound, creating a large gash. A pair of massive, Scarlet Red Hands emerged first, followed by those Hands tearing the opening wider. As the gash widened, everyone beheld the Full Appearance of the Thing within.
It was a Giant, entirely Scarlet Red, standing roughly three meters tall. His Face was obscured, concealed by a full-coverage Horn Helmet. Apart from this, the Giant wore only a battle skirt to cover his lower Body, leaving the rest exposed.
"It's born, it's born! It's a Muscle-bound strongman with no Face!" Ultimate Buzzshock exclaimed with mock Surprise.
"Too bad we can't see his Face. Wonder if he's the second Nezha."
"That Topic is over." X Diamond cut off Buzzshock's Idea of making an Old Joke, turning to Anodite beside him and asking.
"How is it? Did it succeed?"
Just because this Thing before us has taken Entity doesn't mean it's without flaws. Without consulting a midwife, who knows if there are any defects?
"It's a success, and simpler than I anticipated." Anodite waved his Hand, dispersing the excess Celestial Energy. "That Energy seems to possess its own Consciousness. I merely provided a little guidance, and it completed all the Work itself."
"Simply put, it's as if the Infant not only emerged on its own but also severed its own umbilical cord in the process."
"I get it now." Ultimate Buzzshock nodded.
Just as everyone was discussing, the Giant seemed to sense something suddenly, turning his head towards Frank Castle, who lay on the Ground, life unknown. He then turned and transformed into a Red Light, plunging into Frank's Body.
