Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#659 - Cosmic Spirit Ball

The unexpected gains during the journey didn't bring Liang Yue much surprise, even though their spaceship was repeatedly attacked during the subsequent voyage.

Liang Yue didn't bother to go out and watch the spoils of war in the warehouse.

He didn't even need to deliberately command or operate anything; Zhinao Xiaowu almost always resolved the battle quickly upon confirming the identity of the attackers.

Perhaps it was because their spaceship had an odd appearance, or perhaps it was because it hadn't been registered in any formal cosmic nation.

This small cosmic voyage actually encountered six cosmic pirates attempting to rob them.

The result, of course, was that the spaceship's warehouse was filled with various parts and instruments of different styles and technologies.

Soon, another month passed, and Liang Yue and the others had left the area of busy traffic lanes a week ago. Since then, the chances of encountering pirates had indeed decreased significantly.

During this period, Liang Yue had good luck. After consuming a lot of material reserves, he consecutively refined two magical artifacts that were quite satisfactory.

They were a set of finger cots mainly made of vibranium and iridium ore, and a mountain-shaped magical artifact made of various metals, obsidian, redstone, and other MC-specific minerals.

The former was mainly for offense, while the latter's function was mainly for defense.

Both are magical artifacts, not magical treasures.

The difference is that they don't require deliberate refinement. As long as one is familiar with their operation, their power can be unleashed.

However, compared to the higher-level magical treasures, the disadvantage of these things is also obvious, which is that they don't have much potential for evolution.

But for the current stage, it's enough.

After all, magical treasures, once refined, must be persisted with, and it will take a lot of his effort and time to cultivate them.

But the problem is, Liang Yue doesn't seem to have found anything particularly cherished or valuable.

Let alone natal magical treasures.

If he wanted to play the school of 'one weapon breaks all laws' from the beginning of cultivation like some protagonists, he would at least need a bundle of Primal Chaos Purple Energy first...

Moreover, Liang Yue's current strength is in a period of rapid growth. He will be in the Nascent Soul realm after he survives the Heavenly Tribulation.

But the problem is, according to his mother's previous statement, once luck comes at certain times, and he is connected to some high-energy planes by the Creation Qi Absorption Method, his cultivation might continue to skyrocket.

In this case, it would be a waste of effort to refine some magical treasures, as they would probably become outdated soon, which would be a great loss.

Therefore, Liang Yue's current plan is to focus on practicing and preparing various technologies for the time being, and then look for opportunities to refine his own satisfactory magical treasures when his cultivation stabilizes.

...

On this day, after nearly two months of trekking, the spaceship finally successfully arrived at Morag.

This is a very desolate starfield. Perhaps due to the residual power of the past doomsday, the entire star system has become a region that is deeply feared by all beings in the universe.

It is sparsely populated here. After entering this range, Liang Yue and the others never encountered any spaceships or signs of life again.

...

In this way, after a simple explanation, Liang Yue and Stark walked off the spaceship and headed towards a messy ruin not far away.

Compared to Stark's full armament and armor, Liang Yue was still only wearing a Taoist robe.

The surrounding environment seemed very dark and humid, and even the plants showed a black-purple color. Although a large sun was hanging directly in the center of the sky, it still couldn't illuminate the darkness here.

The situation was as if the entire planet was closing itself off and entering a low period of its life.

There were large natural fountains everywhere, gushing and surging, as well as damp mushrooms.

"Strange, the air composition is similar to Earth, the oxygen is slightly lower, and it also contains trace amounts of toxins, but it doesn't have a big impact. The temperature is low, only three or four degrees.

But through the calculation of the sun's declination and the planet's distance, this planet shouldn't be like this, could it be in a small ice age?"

Stark was wearing his armor at this time, looking around, feeling a little confused, so he turned on the thrusters and flew into the sky, exploring on his own.

Liang Yue was still unhurried at this time, and entered the ruins here in just a moment.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the chaotic wind and rain, he kicked open the thick stone door in front of him.

What appeared in front of him was a ruin similar to a church. The interior was dimly lit and tilted, and black-purple moss grew on the broken stone pillars.

In the shadowy corners, there were also many creatures that looked like a combination of small dinosaurs and mice.

Their skin had fine scales, bony spurs grew in the center of their backs, and their inverted triangular mouths were full of fangs and drool...

From time to time, they would make a few sharp hissing sounds.

Liang Yue's rash intrusion immediately attracted the attention of these guys, and pairs of green eyes that seemed to emit fluorescence focused on him from the shadows.

In just a moment, the hoarse cries became one.

Seeing this scene, Meng Xiaoyu, who was hiding on the spaceship watching the video live, couldn't help but start to breathe a little faster.

Unfortunately, this was nothing to Liang Yue.

With a thought, a scene of thunder, fire, wood, and light spread out behind him, instantly illuminating the dark and humid ruins hall.

The mouse-like creatures were immediately frightened and hid far away.

Stark, who was running around in the sky, didn't seem to find any useful information at this time, so he followed the light opened by Liang Yue and slowly descended from the gap above the ruins.

Soon, the two passed through a messy rubble area and came to the front of another slightly closed inner hall.

According to the picture presented by the Tenseigan, the cosmic orb containing the Power Stone was stored here.

Facing the stone door in front of him, Liang Yue didn't take any violent measures, but simulated the shape of the keyhole with spiritual power. With a gentle twist, the stone door opened automatically.

According to his observation, some traps and anti-theft measures seemed to be arranged inside this stone room.

Although most of the methods had been scrapped after a long period of time, Liang Yue obviously didn't need to cause trouble for himself at this time.

"Squeak~" A sound.

After the stone door opened, in a darkness, a metal ball with unknown patterns on its surface was quietly suspended in the center of a round metal pillar.

Around it, there was a cage composed of high-energy circuits.

If an ordinary person rashly reached out, they would be carbonized into ashes in an instant~

Of course, Liang Yue was definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, he stretched out his palm towards the spirit ball from three meters away, and an invisible gravitational force seemed to be generated out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, the cosmic orb was sucked into his palm.

"Okay~ Let's go."

After the goal was achieved, Liang Yue casually threw it into the stronghold world, and was about to call Stark to leave, but found that this big dog tycoon seemed to be interested in archaeology.

At this time, he had turned on the electronic scanning device on his armor and was recording the various patterned bricks inside the stone room.

Afterwards, he directly pointed to the metal platform where the spirit ball had been before.

"Hey~ I said, don't you think this thing is interesting? A stable high-energy beam cage, which has been running for countless years but can still exert its effectiveness.

Whether it's its operating principle or the material composition itself, it's worth studying carefully."

"I agree with Stark's point of view."

Meng Xiaoyu, who was watching the video live, also agreed at this time.

"Okay~"

Saying that, Liang Yue looked around, determined the size of the device, and then beckoned Stark to withdraw from the stone room.

Several sword lights flashed, cutting down the entire stone room and sending it all into the open space of the stronghold world.
