American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 422 World Melting Pot
"It seems there are no surprises."

Seeing Barbatos' hesitant look, Stephen, who was standing with Bruce, breathed a sigh of relief.The power Barbatos showed just now is not inferior to some powerful dimensional demons.If it were him who was standing in front, he wouldn't have the confidence to be able to do what Luke is doing now.The best he can do is to ensure the safety of himself and Bruce, and then seize the opportunity to choose to retreat or fight.

Stephen's words also attracted the curious eyes of the two Bruces, who were in a state of incomprehension about what just happened.Barbatos' power and strange state made them extremely concerned.Especially Bruce in the hospital gown. He has been in contact with Barbatos, so he knows better how terrifying the power Barbatos carries!
It was created by the melting pot of the world, with all the unstable, multi-dimensional forces that tend to be dark and collapse the universe!To say that Barbatos' power is endless is not a metaphor, but a true narrative.

Just now, they thought there would be a fierce battle, which would be difficult, dangerous, and accompanied by sacrifices.But I didn't expect this strange scene.

Barbatos was actually suppressed by Luke's words!This simply goes beyond Bruce's knowledge and understanding of Barbatos.

The other party is the dragon of darkness and destruction, with a natural desire for violence and destruction.If you want to have a serious communication with him and ask him to do something that goes against his nature and that he is unwilling to do, the biggest possibility is that Barbatos will destroy him with the power of darkness, or throw him to a certain place. The dark universe tortures you to death.

Barbatos is not a good communicator most of the time.

"Empowerment!" Seeing the eyes of the two Bruces looking over, Stephen, while observing the wind and grass ahead, did not mind explaining some information to the two of them: "A high-level application of psychic energy. It is not just used as a Energy, instead, goes a step further and displays its characteristics, shaping it into a power similar to regular superpowers.

There are many ways and means of applying empowerment.Different people develop different empowerments about themselves.As a spiritual creator, Luke may have omnipotence and power. "

"Almighty and powerful?" The two Bruces looked at each other, and the information revealed by Stephen was firmly engraved in their minds. They believed that this information might be useful one day in the future.After all, there is really too little information about Luke. Apart from knowing that the other party is a creator who invented many magical and incredible equipment and items, there is no more information.

"Almighty refers to the ability of spiritual energy to devour and assimilate various energies, and transform its properties to achieve omnipotent effects. Power is a form of empowerment, which has strong pollution and strong control Sex. It is essentially a manifestation of social rules." Stephen said proactively, looking at Bruce's two thoughtful faces.

"Is it a kind of control and restraint?" Bruce in the hospital gown looked at Barbatos, who was becoming strange. He seemed to have some realization in his heart, but it was like seeing flowers through a layer of fog, unable to see the reality clearly.This made him even more immersed in deducing and guessing the correct answer.He wanted to tear off the veil, take a closer look at the so-called scenery, and see the true face.

"To be precise, it is a kind of oppression that only arises when living in groups. Class, rights, and strength." Stephen looked at the alternative battle ahead that he could not participate in, and simply stretched out his hand to tear apart the tulle for Bruce and the others, and explained in detail got up.

"Why wouldn't a person with great power dare to resist someone who is inferior to him in all aspects? He still needs to humble himself in front of this person and use his own strength to conscientiously do all the other person's instructions. Things that come down.

Because this man with great power has desires!His power can allow him to obtain some things, but in many ways, pure power is not enough to make his wishes come true.

And the person who is inferior to him in all aspects, but has the things he wants and needs the most, can use this to control him, drive him, and finally tame an unruly beast, bit by bit. Tame him. "

"Class, money, power." Bruce muttered.

"That's right. The psychic power empowered by Luke is the control and distribution of rights, resources, etc. It sounds inappropriate to use these to describe a battle, but I think this is the best way to explain it to you. Yes." Stephen nodded in agreement.

"But, will he have that kind of thing? The so-called rights, resources, desires..." Bruce in hospital gown still couldn't believe it.Because these things are meaningless to Barbatos.

"What I said before is just a metaphor that you can understand quickly. In other words, do you really think that Barbatos doesn't have any desires?" Regarding Bruce's question in the hospital gown, Stephen shook his head slightly and looked at the question. The two Bruces standing there said again: "Any power has certain attributes, and people who possess this kind of power are naturally affected and dominated by the power and become representatives of its attributes. Under normal circumstances, they will and Barbatos is like a person who is so paranoid that he cannot change."

"You want to say that Luke can reverse this paranoia? Or that he can change the other person's power characteristics?" Bruce somewhat understood what Stephen wanted to express.

"The facts are right in front of you, aren't they?" Stephen nodded. He pointed at Barbatos, who was becoming more and more anthropomorphic and possessing more and more emotions. "Give an opposite personality, and then gradually Build a framework, and use spiritual energy to subtly erode the opponent's thinking, making adjustments again and again to make the opponent become what the controller wants. In essence, this is a kind of soul dimensionality reduction!"

A decisive person can turn into a hesitant person.

A person who is not afraid of life and death can become a cowardly person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

A god of the multiverse who is the master of dark forces and whose mind is filled only with destruction and evil can also be dominated by various emotions and ideas like humans, without even realizing that he has been reduced by his soul!Without the profound influence of the strength attribute, I started to think about some things that are not there.

If Becky was here, then Stephen would definitely set an example and ask Becky to take out her [pets] to do a good science popularization.

The various dimensional creatures she captured from all major dimensional worlds and from the edges represent ever-changing power attributes and are extremely dangerous. Many of them have no such thing as brains and thinking.

The dangers of those [pets], at least as the current Supreme Mage, Stephen is absolutely unwilling to face and bear them.Not to mention opening a petting zoo on your own body.

But why can Becky ignore the dangers of those dimensional creatures that represent various strange power attributes and make them obedient?

Is it because of Becky's power?Strong power can indeed make those who have the ability to think and know how to weigh the pros and cons surrender, but for those who have no brains and no thinking, or who are single-minded and not afraid of death, pure strength cannot have this effect.

And it has to be said that almost [-]% of these so-called pets from various dimensions and possessing various dimensional powers are difficult to tame and unable to communicate.They are naturally fanatical believers in the dimensional power behind them!

Just like mages believe in magic and humans believe in science, it is the source of their own power and everything.If you want them to betray their own dimensional power, it is undoubtedly equivalent to taking away the meaning of their existence.

Why can Becky control them?

Because Becky also mastered the power of high-level application of psychic energy similar to Luke's.

Brainless?
Don't be afraid, you will have an [organ] similar to a brain.No thinking?

Don't be afraid, you will learn how to think and weigh the pros and cons.

Betrayal of the power attribute?
Creatures of chaos and chaotic power are chaotic and chaotic. After being controlled by psychic erosion, even if they are alive, their life forms will be transformed into creatures of another dimension.However, the transformation simulation of psychic energy is deceptive, allowing them to have a clear mind at the same time, and they can still inherit and use their previous powers.

Behind the lives of those dimensions were their → dimensions behind them.Now behind these dimensional beings is their → Becky → dimension behind them.

Under this strange transformation, Becky stood in the middle and became their new master.What if it’s still difficult to tame?

There is a way!

It is to give thinking and fear, reduce the dimensionality and then throw it to the edge of the abyss for a walk.Usually they become honest.If you are still careful, you can explore deeper to the edge of the abyss.

Time is meaningless to the abyss. Whether you stay at the edge of the abyss for a second or for a long time, the effect and feeling are the same.But the feeling you have when you are on the edge of the abyss and when you are closer to the abyss are completely different.

Generally, after these few steps, most dimensional beings will become very knowledgeable in front of Becky.What can I do if I don’t know what to do?Faced with a terrifying human girl who can cut off your energy source at any time and threaten you with the abyss at every turn, the dimensional beings have no power to resist.

Seeing Barbatos in front of him, Stephen vaguely saw the dimensional beings that fell into Becky's hands.

"This power is too dangerous. Even scarier than the Anti-Life Equation!" Bruce commented on Luke's power.

In Bruce's view, the power of the anti-life equation is extremely evil. It can distort people's will, make people lose their freedom, and accept that they are controlled.But Luke’s power is like the superior power of the Anti-Life Equation!

This sense of threat and crisis stuck in his throat made Bruce feel uncomfortable all over.

"It is different compared to the Anti-Life Equation. The Anti-Life Equation is compulsory control, which can be said to be a superior power similar to mental control.

Luke's power is not forced control, but subtle, growing stronger over time, eventually giving birth to a new, stable soul.

If the user's strength was not strong enough, like Barbatos just now, we would have died in those black thunders long ago. ” Stephen corrected.

At this time, the oscillating energy storm in front finally slowly subsided.The main hall, which was constantly shaking under the collision of energy, gradually became quiet.

The three Stephens immediately stopped communicating, no longer distractedly paying attention to the front, but focused all their attention on Luke.They realize that what will follow may be a period of negotiations to suspend the fighting.

Of course, it can also be understood as the validity period of Luke's power.

After all, it was hard for Bruce to imagine that enemies in conflict would be willing to sit down and negotiate with the enemy before the outcome was determined.

"...Promise me that you will give me the power called the Abyss, and I will take you to the Forge of the World."

Barbatos' voice rang in Bruce's and the others' minds.This request made the three Stephens couldn't help but look at each other, with strange looks in each other's eyes.

Stephen was shocked that someone dared to ask Luke for the power of the Abyss.Even if the opponent is a dark power with similar attributes.

If Dormammu and Mephisto, who were unable to avoid the power of the abyss and even wanted to hide far away, were present, they would probably give Barbatos a look of pity and admiration no matter what.

There is a difference between being tortured into a madman and actively being tortured into a madman.

As expected of Barbatos, who has mastered the attributes of darkness and destructive power. This destructive tendency not only targets the universe and life, but also targets himself.

Stephen looked at Barbatos' body as tall as a mountain in admiration, biting his lips and remaining silent with a serious expression.

The two Bruces have even faced a little projection of power from the abyss, that kind of filthy and dark power. They don't even want to think about it, because it is also a kind of pollution that tortures people's spirits.Bruce's face in the hospital gown was even uglier, because he had once taken the initiative to attract the attention of the abyss, and even took the initiative to throw himself into the embrace of the abyss.This act of seeking death made him have a particularly profound experience of that bad experience.

Of course, the relevant memories are vague, and the experience cannot be physically reproduced in a realistic way. For protection, this kind of perception and memory are blocked and remain in the divided Laughing Bat.

"Are you sure?" Luke looked at Barbatos: "If you insist."

"I insist! I have obtained relevant information from the Laughing Bat. So I know that it is a very powerful force and it suits me very well!" Barbatos looked at Luke warily.After he obtained information about the power of the Abyss from the Laughing Bat, he has been eager to find it and then take it as his own.

Now that he knew that the power of the abyss was the power Luke controlled, he couldn't wait to make the request.In his mind, this was a deal, the Crucible of the World in exchange for the power of the Abyss.
