Talos Company, Lounge.
With a flash of purple light, the two Xia Yus returned here.
"It's finally over. Although it wasn't too tiring, it's still more comfortable here."
Xia Yu tapped his chest, and the nano-suit on his body quickly retracted into his watch. Then, he slumped onto the sofa.
Seeing this, Gamora also mimicked Xia Yu by tapping her chest. A faint purple light immediately lit up on her body, and then cosmic energy flowed from head to toe. That battle suit, which was the same style as Uncle Tun's, transformed into an ordinary white dress in the blink of an eye.
Well, as expected of a cosmic deity, changing clothes involves molecular restructuring. Unlike him, who still needs nanobots.
Watching Gamora change her clothes, Xia Yu once again felt the gap between a mortal and a cosmic deity.
However, Gamora didn't feel anything special. After all, to her, being able to freely change the arrangement of particles was a basic skill that didn't even require thought.
"Xia Yu, I want to eat something."
After changing her clothes, Gamora sat down next to Xia Yu and said expectantly.
"..."
Because of the recent battle, Xia Yu didn't really want to move. But who told him that he had just made a pinky promise with Gamora? Besides, Gamora had also helped him in the fight.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu pushed himself up with both hands... but failed to stand up. He still didn't want to move.
However, he didn't intend to break his promise. Many more dishes cooked by Zombie Xia Yu appeared in the group's food Red Envelope.
Those dishes were all made by Zombie Xia Yu when he was exchanging culinary skills with Komatsu. It's just that Komatsu's dishes had Toriko to help eat them, so Zombie Xia Yu's dishes could only be stored in the Red Envelope.
This was quite convenient for Marvel Xia Yu, as he was accompanied by a cosmic-level foodie.
As Xia Yu lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, a dense array of delicacies instantly covered the dining table. Seeing this scene, Gamora pounced on them with her eyes glowing.
She had always been unable to resist such delicious food that she had never tasted before.
But precisely because she couldn't resist, it didn't take long for the table of delicacies, including the plates, to be cleaned out.
After eating the food from the last plate, Gamora looked at Xia Yu and said softly, "Xia Yu, it's gone..."
"..."
It's fine, it's just food. He has plenty of it.
Seeing Gamora's pitiful look, Xia Yu readily slapped the tabletop, and another table of delicacies appeared directly.
Fortunately, the Gourmet World had already joined the group before he met Gamora. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to satisfy Gamora's appetite.
As the empty plates piled up, Gamora ate more and more happily. To her, as long as it was food, she would never get tired of it.
A moment later, Gamora put down the clean plate in her hand with some embarrassment. She didn't ask to continue eating. Although she could still eat more, she was already satisfied for now.
Xia Yu looked at the empty plates piled up again and silently calculated the storage in the food Red Envelope. He sadly realized that at this rate of eating, the food Red Envelope would probably be eaten clean in about a hundred days.
Sigh, as expected, a cosmic-level foodie is not that easy to support.
"You've eaten your fill, right? Have some drinks."
Seeing that Gamora didn't ask to continue eating, Xia Yu conveniently took out several bottles of Healing Spells. Although this rich life energy couldn't fill Gamora's stomach, it could still alleviate her sense of hunger.
"This..."
Seeing Xia Yu take out precious life energy again, Gamora hesitated once more. But this time, Xia Yu firmly pushed the potions in front of Gamora and stated that if she didn't drink them, he would throw them away.
Seeing Xia Yu being so firm, Gamora had no choice but to accept them all. However, she also secretly made up her mind that since she had received so many benefits from Xia Yu, she would definitely do her best to repay him.
Hmm... how should she repay him?
Gamora pondered while drinking the Healing Spells.
Right, Xia Yu hoped she could teach him how to use the infinity stones!
Thinking of this, Gamora drank the potions in one gulp, then trotted over to Xia Yu's side and said excitedly.
"Don't you want to know how to use the infinity stones? Let's get started."
"Ah? Start right now?"
He had just lied down and didn't want to start learning so soon.
"Hmm... if Xia Yu doesn't want to start, then let's not. I can teach you anytime," Gamora said, sitting down next to Xia Yu.
"Let's start then. After all, I have to learn sooner or later."
Xia Yu sat up, patted his face to get serious. Procrastination is not good; once you keep putting things off, it becomes an addiction. However, looking around the room, Xia Yu asked.
"Should we start here?"
"Hmm? Is it not okay here?"
Gamora looked around. She thought it was quite good here. Her previous learning of power application had all been conducted here.
"It's not that it's not okay, I'm just worried that learning to use the infinity stones might cause damage to this place."
"Don't worry about that," Gamora said confidently, patting her chest. "With me here, nothing will go wrong."
Since Gamora had said so, Xia Yu didn't hesitate anymore. Currently, he had a total of three infinity stones in his hands: the space stone in the form of the tesseract, the mind stone in the form of the mind scepter, and the reality stone, which had changed from aether back into a solid.
Among these three infinity stones, the reality stone was the most miraculous.
The reality stone, as the name suggests, can modify reality and ignore all laws of reality. Even Newton, who frequently turns in his grave, wouldn't be able to find a single flaw in it.
Moreover, as long as one's ability is strong enough, the reality stone can be used to achieve the effects of other stones. This is because almost all the abilities of the other stones can be realized by modifying reality, though the difficulty would increase exponentially.
Therefore, Xia Yu decided to learn how to use the reality stone first before moving on to the other stones.
In the time that followed, under Gamora's detailed explanation, Xia Yu gradually understood what the infinity stones really were.
The so-called infinity stones are actually keys connected to the universe, a type of tool that helps the holder touch the fundamental laws of the universe, equivalent to moons shroud in a game.
To be able to use this modifier with ease, one must either forge a vessel that can carry the stone's power, such as the Infinity Gauntlet, Ronan's War Hammer, the mind scepter, and so on, or understand the working principles of the infinity stones themselves and use them through that understanding.
Gamora, who had inherited Uncle Tun's knowledge, not only knew how to use the infinity stones but also had a certain understanding of the stones themselves.
During the instruction, because Gamora wanted to repay Xia Yu, she taught him almost hand-in-hand. Not only did she not hide anything, but she also personally demonstrated the usage for Xia Yu.
Even if Xia Yu were a fool, under such detailed hand-in-hand guidance, he would have understood some of the principles of application.
As time passed, Xia Yu's understanding of the reality stone gradually reached the entry level. Now, even without a vessel, he could use the reality stone in a small way.
Of course, this "small way" was truly very small, as he had only just started.
