The Primordial Dark Energy, vast as an ocean in the Abyss, had now almost entirely dissipated.
Deprived of the continuous influx of energy streams from all directions, the energy vortex centered around Lucas slowly vanished.
Lucas took a deep breath, and swallowed the last few energy streams into his ehite space, converting them into points.
Slowly opening his eyes, Lucas looked at Knull, his heart filled with emotion.
Though still in battle, Lucas no longer paid attention to Knull, and his Symbiote dragons. With a thought, he opened his panel.
[Name: Lucas (Elder God)]
[Points: 1,155,743,964,399]
[Sacred Body: 11,111]
[Talents: Energy Absorption, Stat Transfer]
[Energy Absorption: Can absorb any energy and convert it into points.]
[Stat Transfer: Points can be converted into Sacred Body.]
[Description: None]
Time to spend these points.
The white space opened, and a massive amount of white energy surged out, washing over Lucas's Sacred Body, which subtly gleamed with a silver luster.
Under the washing of the ehite energy, Lucas's strength rapidly soared, and terrifying power continuously surged from deep within his body, permeating his limbs and bones.
Lucas felt as if his body had broken through the shackles of the Universe. Everything around him faintly emitted a repulsive force, as if trying to push him out of the Abyss into an even outer Universe. And as points were added and his Sacred Body continuously strengthened, this sense of repulsion grew even more intense.
Finally, Lucas had no choice but to devote most of his mind to controlling his Sacred Body to resist this repulsion.
"Bastard!"
Whether he wanted to or not, Knull had to admit he had been tricked.
It turned out that this sorcerer had not actually devoured the Primordial Dark Energy earlier, but had transferred it to another space. Now, after conversion, he was truly beginning to absorb it.
But he had clearly sealed the Abyss, so how had this sorcerer transferred the Primordial Dark Energy?
More importantly, why could this sorcerer convert the Primordial Dark Energy?
Thinking of this question, Knull felt both puzzled and vaguely fearful.
Fear of the unknown!
But no matter what, he had to stop this sorcerer from continuing to convert and absorb the Primordial Dark Energy.
Forcibly suppressing the vague unease in his heart, Knull joined forces with the Symbiote dragons to attack Lucas.
The dragons danced wildly, yet orderly, surrounding Lucas and breathing fire together.
Countless dragon breaths streaked across the void. Wherever they passed, the hollow dark void was rendered even deeper and more somber.
In the Abyss, darkness once again reigned supreme. However, all the darkness stopped dead in its tracks when it reached Lucas.
Knull, holding a longsword, stealthily approached Lucas, hidden within the dark breath. He raised the longsword and slashed at Lucas's neck, attempting to decapitate him.
Knull moved silently before striking, but the sword's swing was earth-shattering. As the blade swept past, a black line stretched for tens of thousands of meters. This was a crack formed by the Abyss collapsing.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, nothing happened.
Knull's highly anticipated sneak attack with his sword, struck Lucas's neck but utterly failed to penetrate his defense. It couldn't even shake Lucas in the slightest. The impact force carried by the sharp blade suddenly vanished upon striking Lucas's body.
And the void cracks that spread with the sword's edge were obstructed by Lucas's body, forced to bypass him and continue behind him.
Crack... Crack...
This space in the Abyss was torn apart by Knull's sword, and under the force of suction, it fell into the void cracks.
A pulling force emanated from the void cracks but Lucas remained seated, unaffected. From a distance, he looked like a silver glint in the dark Abyss.
Gradually, a silver light seeped from Lucas's body, dyeing his body a pure silver. And this silver light began to spread, with an unstoppable momentum.
Even the void, without any medium, could not stop it.
As the silver light swept past, everything was dyed its color. Whether it was the background of the Abyss, the Symbiote dragons, or Knull.
In fact, it wasn't just the Abyss. Beyond the Abyss, this silver light traveled through time and space, through the Universe, continuously spreading outwards.
The silver light flashed through a certain Universe that Lucas and Knull had passed through on their way to the Cosmic Abyss. A robot with six gems embedded in its chest stopped, deep in thought.
A moment later, he changed direction, randomly choosing a Universe, no longer following in the footsteps of Lucas and Knull.
The silver light flashed, illuminating a certain desolate and silent Universe that seemed to have fallen into eternal night for an instant.
A certain sorcerer, kneeling dejectedly on a stone, suddenly looked up and shouted loudly, "Lord God, help me!"
The silver light flashed, and in a certain Flame Dimension that had been in lockdown for many days and was preparing to lift the blockade, demons saw things from outside their dimension for the first time in a long while.
Their king, as if reacting instinctively, immediately canceled the plan to lift the blockade, intending to take the dimension on a new round of wandering.
Perhaps it was an instant, perhaps a long time.
Lucas gradually became accustomed to this pervasive sense of repulsion, as if from the Universe, and his mind returned to check his panel.
[Name: Lucas (?)]
[Points: 189,077,964,399]
[Sacred Body: 333,333]
[Talents: Energy Absorption, Stat Transfer]
[Energy Absorption: Can absorb any energy and convert it into points.]
[Stat Transfer: Points can be converted into Sacred Body.]
[Description: ?]
With a touch of mischievousness, Lucas stopped increasing his Sacred Body stat after it reached 333,333.
On one hand, he wanted to save some points for later use.
On the other hand, there were very few opponents he couldn't defeat with his current power. If he couldn't defeat them without adding points, he probably couldn't defeat them even with added points.
Looking at the two question marks on the panel, although there were no annotations, his transcendent perception gave him the answer at this moment.
When his Sacred Body surpassed one hundred thousand points, his life level had surpassed that of an Elder God, reaching an indescribable, undefinable realm. He needed to find something to complete its definition.
"An abstract entity?"
"Like how human organs provide specific functions for the human body, does it need to provide some natural function for the Universe, becoming an indispensable conceptual part of the Universe?" Lucas asked himself.
Immediately, his transcendent perception replied: it can be, and it can also not be.
"It can be, and it can also not be? What does that mean?"
Lucas focused. He trusted the feedback from his transcendent perception, but this feedback was too enigmatic, too cryptic.
Helpless, he could only temporarily set aside this question.
He would make plans later, when he had the opportunity to interact with some abstract entities, the true "Gods" of the Marvel world.
