#842 - Dark Elves
This is a dark and gloomy cave.
The cave meanders and twists, the light is dim, and there are many ancient buildings within.
The air carries a hint of decay and rot, obviously sealed for many years, but the composition of the air is not much different from that of Earth.
Originally, it should have been a small sub-space connected to Earth, but it was forcibly hidden away.
Judging from the faint magic fluctuations in the cave, this should be the work of Asgard.
In the original plot, the Asgardians and the Dark Elves fought for many years, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Finally, Odin's father, Bor, achieved a surprise victory, using the Rainbow Bridge's long-range teleportation in the midst of the chaos to seize the Aether, the treasure passed down through generations of the Dark Elves, which is also the Reality Stone.
Then the Dark Elves were defeated in this war and were slaughtered…
The Reality Stone was hidden in this hidden sub-space and sealed.
Until, during the once-in-millennia convergence of the Nine Realms, Jane Foster brought it out of the sealed land and back to the world of the Nine Planets.
The remaining forces of the Dark Elves, hiding in the dark and dormant, seem to have some kind of mysterious connection with their ancestral treasure, the Aether, and can sense it even in hibernation.
So soon, the Dark Elves, awakened from their slumber, began to retaliate against the Asgardians.
However, this time, Liang Yue is here…
“Aether, this is already the fourth Infinity Stone that has passed through my hands~”
As soon as he entered the sub-space in the space crack, Liang Yue quickly found the trace of the Reality Stone in the center of a special stone pillar.
At this time, the gem, like a lump of glowing red mud, meanders and slowly moves in the cracks of the stone.
Sealed by magic from Asgard, it has been unable to break free from the stone pillar in front of it for a long time, not because the seal is strong, but because after losing artificial control, the gem becomes a dead thing.
After all, although the Reality Stone is a collection of original rule energy, it has not generated its own will.
It is even unable to use its own power independently.
For most of its life, it can only be like a passive socket: others plug in, it generates electricity; others attack, it counterattacks; others don't move, it can't move either…
Of course, after being owned by the Dark Elf clan for many years, this Reality Stone has been passively transformed to a certain extent.
It can be said that the Aether is the Reality Stone, but the Reality Stone is not the Aether.
It's not a question of which is stronger or weaker; they are essentially the same thing, but after being served and transformed by the Dark Elves for countless years, the gem has been subjected to some kind of secret spell.
And according to the Dark Elves' own understanding of magic, technology, and the world, a shell has been artificially put on it.
It's like a computer with an application installed, which can, to a certain extent, use the Reality Stone for certain applications according to a specific process logic.
At the same time, this application itself also has some other functions, such as early warning, information transmission, erosion of life, and so on~
These are all a layer of shell that the Dark Elves have endowed on the Reality Stone over a long period of time.
In order to match this shell, the shape of the gem has also become a fluid.
Of course, as a treasure in the Marvel universe in front of us, what form is not important to the Infinity Stone.
With the continuous deepening of the perspective of observing all things in the world, Liang Yue at this time has already been able to understand the essence of things from the quantum level.
Moreover, if he is willing, he can also remove the "shell" put on by the Dark Elves at any time, and restore the gem to its original solid gemstone appearance from the microscopic level.
However, Liang Yue didn't do that for the time being. Instead, according to the general process, he gently beckoned to the Aether in the stone crevice and gathered it into his palm.
Turning it into a round fluid ball that kept flashing dark red brilliance~
From this moment on, the gears of fate began to turn again…
Afterwards, Liang Yue walked out of this space crack while observing this magical substance with the Aether ball in his hand.
Just as he stepped out and returned to normal Earth space, he saw Jane Foster and her party rushing towards here excitedly.
After thinking about it, Liang Yue turned his head again and waved his hand at the sub-space behind him.
The space that was originally in the crack was immediately cut out by him. The real volume was dozens of square kilometers. The cave ruins, which were like a maze, instantly turned into the size of a palm and were held in his palm.
Afterwards, this miniature sub-space, like a semi-transparent little flower flashing with gray luster, fluctuated in his palm with light and shadow.
“What is that?”
At this time, Jane Foster had already led the few people behind her to trot over quickly.
Looking at Liang Yue's appearance with a dark red liquid ball in one hand and a semi-transparent little flower in the other, obviously having gained something, she subconsciously ran up.
In terms of tone, it is hard to say whether it is an inquiry, a greeting, or an interrogation~
To be honest, Liang Yue has never known where the charm of this woman lies, that she can fascinate the dignified Prince of Asgard so much.
Liang Yue just glanced at her indifferently. The next moment, he put the two things in his hand into his backpack space and walked forward on his own.
After a few steps, the bright blue halo around his body surged for a while, and then the whole person disappeared into this abandoned factory.
When he reappeared, he had already returned to his own small town farm in Northwest China.
At this time, only a dozen seconds had passed since Liang Yue left before. Meng Xiaoyu was still concentrating on checking the groundwater map of the Northwest Basin, muttering to herself from time to time.
On the large spaceship parking apron outside the city, a group of people who had been thrown out of the farm by him were still busy calling relevant departments and their direct leaders.
The expressions on their faces were different, helpless, angry, complicated, and cursing.
Unfortunately, no one cared at all.
After a while, several Buddhist and Taoist figures who had been studying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and practicing in the farm all came together.
Perhaps after seeing Liang Yue send away a group of people representing relevant departments before, they felt that the existence of their group was not very safe, so they came to discuss with him.
Hoping to continue to stay in this small city and study the wonderful uses of these spiritual energies.
Saying it's research, in fact, most ancient inheritances have many methods of cultivating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but later, with the changes of the times, the general environment gradually entered a low ebb.
Many exercises that adapted to the original level of spiritual energy environment could not be practiced one after another.
In addition, under the long-term evolution, dynasties changed, celestial disasters occurred, wars and man-made disasters, etc., and many classic ancient books left by the predecessors were destroyed.
Some secret traditions that needed to be passed down by word of mouth had already disappeared.
Now, wanting to use the spiritual energy environment here in Liang Yue to regain the lost cultivation methods in the past disasters is probably not an easy task.
Of course, in this world, there has never been a shortage of experts in any force with real skills.
Even in special times, under the impact of the so-called torrent of humanity, there are still many exceptions.
Liang Yue wants to see how many unknown experts and profound skills are hidden in the Chinese side in this Marvel mixed world, which is as famous as the DC universe.
