Chapter 867: About to Shake the Entire Cosmos (2)

Wang Yu thought it over carefully and realized that did seem to be the case. “Could it be… this was installed by someone?”

“Exactly.” Lu Li confirmed, “This is a device forged from a special alloy, specifically used to emit infrasound waves at a certain frequency.”

Saint Garo asked in confusion, “An infrasound device? What effect does this thing have on iron-based lifeforms?”

Lu Li countered, “Tell me, when you’re full, do you go around wrecking things for no reason?”

Saint Garo shook his head. “No.”

Lu Li asked again, “Then the ferocious beasts on your planet—aside from territorial instincts—when they’re full, do they randomly slaughter other animals?”

Saint Garo let out an awkward grunt. “Uh… I don’t think so.”

Everyone watched Lu Li ask question after question, still a bit at a loss.

Lu Li pointed at the iron-based lifeform. “Even though it’s iron-based and fundamentally different from us carbon-based and silicon-based lifeforms, it’s still a kind of ‘animal’. Under normal circumstances, it might cause damage to stars—for example, when it’s hungry and needs to feed—but if it’s full, it generally won’t go on a senseless rampage unless it’s being interfered with by some external force.”

Dapu suddenly understood. “Land God, you mean this ring… this infrasound-generating device interfered with Extinction’s actions, so that’s why it went on a rampage and devastated our Milky Way Galaxy?”

“Yes!” Lu Li looked again at the ten thousand warriors of the superpowered legion. “So, before you decided to take on an iron-based lifeform, why didn’t you use your brains a bit more?”

Wang Yu lowered his head in shame.

Zhang Qian, Zhu Ming, and the other superpowered warriors could only smile wryly.

The remaining Didan, Dapu, Saint Garo, and the others also felt deeply embarrassed.

If things were really as Lu Li said, then it could be said that the Milky Way Galaxy being ravaged like this was actually their own doing.

This destruction could have been completely avoided; they just needed to do one thing—find a way to destroy the ring on top of Extinction’s head.

“Fine!” Lu Li went on. “Let’s say you somehow failed to notice the ring on its head. Once the real fight started, why did you have to rely on brute force?”

Wang Yu said weakly, “I didn’t use brute force. I used the Infinity Gauntlet.”

Lu Li was so angry he laughed. “Is that how the Infinity Gauntlet is supposed to be used?”

Wang Yu was puzzled. “Then how else am I supposed to use it?”

Lu Li pointed at the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand. “Tell me, how many Infinity Gems are on it?”

Wang Yu replied, “Six.”

Lu Li said, “Tell me the names of these six Infinity Gems.”

This thing was condensed by your Divine Power—how could you possibly not know the names of the six Infinity Gems?

Wang Yu didn’t know why Lu Li was asking like this, but he still answered honestly, “These six Gemstones are: the Power Gem, the Space Gem, the Reality Gem, the Mind Gem, the Time Gem, and the Soul Gem.”

It was the first time Didan, Dapu, Saint Garo, and the others had heard the names of these Gemstones, and each of them listened with great interest.

Zhang Qian, Zhu Ming, and the other superpowered warriors, on the other hand, wore serious expressions as they “studied”; they also wanted to know where they had gone wrong.

Lu Li said, “Now tell me what the six Gemstones do.”

Wang Yu answered honestly, “First is the Space Gem. It can control space. Next is the Power Gem. It allows the user to grasp and manipulate any power and energy they try to control, and at the same time, it itself contains inexhaustible energy and has the ability to support and enhance the other Gems. Third is the Reality Gem; to a certain extent, it can realize ‘what is spoken becomes law’. Fourth is the Mind Gem. It allows the user to enter other people’s thoughts, and it can also channel all dreams, thoughts, and ideas into the user’s mind. It can strengthen Spiritual Power and increase mental abilities. Furthermore, if the other Gems enhance its power, this Gem can simultaneously enter the minds of all existing beings. Even with just a light touch, it can alter another’s mind according to the user’s will, and the Mind Gem itself also contains infinitely vast energy.”

Here he paused for a moment. “Next is the Time Gem. This Gem allows the user to reach any point in time, whether in the distant past or the far future. Using this power, one can watch or experience any era, and the Time Gem itself also contains infinitely vast energy. Finally, there is the Soul Gem. This Gem possesses the ability to steal, manipulate, modify, or create souls, and it too contains infinitely vast energy. It can not only seize and control the souls of living beings but also command and drive the dead, and can even manipulate death at will.”

Didan, Dapu, De Kuerde, and the others all showed looks of disbelief upon hearing this.

So did the hundreds of thousands of funeral workers.

These aliens clearly hadn’t expected these six Gemstones to be so formidable.

Instead, as Wang Yu recited them like treasures, the ten thousand superpowered warriors faintly began to understand what Lu Li had meant with his earlier words.

Lu Li waited quietly for Wang Yu to finish, then asked in return, “Then when you were fighting the iron-based lifeform, why didn’t you try to use the Mind Gem to control it?”

Wang Yu let out an awkward grunt. “I didn’t think of that.”

Lu Li asked again, “Fine, let’s say you didn’t think to use the Mind Gem to control it and insisted on destroying it. Then why didn’t you use the Soul Gem to kill it on the level of the soul, instead of having to snap your fingers and turn it into dust?”

Wang Yu’s entire face was filled with a bitter smile. “I didn’t think of that either.”

Lu Li shook his head helplessly. “Let’s not even mention that the Mind Gem and Soul Gem could directly control or annihilate this iron-based lifeform. Just take the Time Gem and Space Gem as examples. With the Space Gem, you could have simply used it to throw Extinction into some empty Star Realm; then it wouldn’t have been able to cause any destruction in the Milky Way Galaxy, right? And with the Time Gem, if you used it properly, you could have trapped it on a certain timeline, and there would’ve been no need to go through all this trouble.”
