American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

“How should I answer this question?” Stephen spread his hands. The Anti-Life Equation is indeed a terrifying and powerful force, and no life that yearns for freedom is willing to face it.

But the core of the Anti-Life Equation's power is the emotion of life.

If the rules of this universe dictate that the Life Equation is positive emotion and the Anti-Life Equation is negative emotion, then this is Stephen's familiar territory.

After all, if anyone understands the power of condensed emotion, it must be the mages who deal with emotional energy and fight against it every day, besides Luke!

Although the threat of psionic power is not as dangerous as the power of dimensional demons, if you don't examine yourself, the mages who practice this power will become more and more extreme, stubborn, and persistent over time. And it is difficult to distinguish whether this stubbornness is rational or influenced. Once you unconsciously enter a state of being eroded by psionic energy, although there will be no problems in the short term, something terrible that no one wants to see may happen at some point in the future.

The collapse of ideology can instantly cause a mage to fall into darkness, and if they sink down, the final result is to face the abyss. And it is impossible for a human being to have no dark side deep down.

Therefore, the threshold for Kamar-Taj's current mages to practice psionic power is to familiarize themselves with its rules, determine their own emotional ratio and the proportion of psionic energy they can accommodate, and finally, they must first learn the spells to examine their own souls. Only after mastering them proficiently can they officially come into contact with psionic energy and practice elemental and psionic spells.

If someone bypasses these threshold steps, then they can also sense psionic energy, absorb it, and use this powerful force. But the best result is just to fix a certain obsession as an anchor to stabilize their soul and emotions from losing control and becoming confused under the erosion of psionic energy. But this method is not perfect and depends on luck. More importantly, this method of fixing an obsession anchor will deepen the obsession over time as the strength becomes stronger, and will eventually affect more people and even the operation of civilization. The ending is either to obtain peaceful death through constant conflicts and wars, or to face the abyss in one's heart at some point.

As the highest level of all mental and emotional energy, psionic power cannot be compared with either the Life Equation or the Anti-Life Equation in terms of position. On the contrary, psionic power can devour and accommodate the power of both opposites, just like the power of the Lantern Rings.

Of course, Stephen was not very sure that he could be unaffected when he first faced the power of the Anti-Life Equation. He just inferred and believed in Luke and the psionic power he created.

The result proved that his deduction was correct. The Anti-Life Equation could not control him and Thor. They had extremely high resistance to this power and experience in dealing with it.

Which Kamar-Taj mage doesn't have a few unique spells to adjust their psionic energy ratio and correct their soul consciousness in emergencies? As the current Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange is also the promoter and inventor of the initial examination curse and correction curse.

As for Thor? He may not be good at these delicate tasks, but the innate physique of the Asgardians and the divine system allow them to take another path under Luke's guidance.

Stack resistance!

With Thor's current resistance and way of thinking, it can be said to be another safer method of fixation. It is a bit difficult to reverse his consciousness and manipulate his thinking brain. Even the Scarlet Witch, who has mastered chaos magic, is unwilling to waste time attacking Thor's mind.

It takes a lot of energy, a long time, and the probability of success cannot be determined. It is also necessary to first capture and control the opponent, and then continuously brainwash and erode them to possibly achieve it. But even if he is successfully controlled, there is no guarantee that the controlled Thor will not suddenly wake up or go crazy later. This adds another process that needs to be checked and stabilized at all times.

With this effort, the Scarlet Witch might as well just go all out and fight.

So, as Thor said, using the power of the Anti-Life Equation to deal with the two of them is not as good as using the power of the Omega Effect. At least they have to face that power with caution.

“You are the masters of that dimensional world, right?” Darkseid's eyes emitted a blazing red light, and his excitement was so high that everyone present could perceive it.

“I found a power on that planet, a power similar to the Life Equation! I have always wanted to find its source and obtain it! I felt that power in you.

Answer me! How do I enter that dimensional world?”

As he spoke, Darkseid rushed towards Thor and Stephen, launching an attack.

Thor directly blocked in front, and fought with Darkseid with a loud rumble. The aftermath of the battle between the two shook the reinforced and transformed satellite under their feet, causing cracks to appear. The ground of the satellite shook rumblingly like an earthquake. This vibration had little impact on Thor and Stephen, as well as the large [pets] summoned by Becky, but it had a chaotic impact on the charging momentum of the Parademon army.

Darkseid also had a war hammer in his hand, and collided with Thor with a bang, bang, bang, each blow shaking the earth and wanting to smash and dismember the satellite under his feet.

Obviously, with the current intensity of the battle between the two, it would not be long before the reinforced satellite under their feet, like a planet, would shatter into floating rubble in the universe.

“Why is he suddenly so excited?” Thor grimaced and flew backwards to Stephen's feet, looking at Stephen who was looking down at him from a high position. Thor quickly stood up from the ground, looking at Darkseid who had also eaten a hammer from him and was rubbing his cracked shoulder, somewhat dazed under the surge of emotions.

“He's eyeing psionic power and the data dimension.” Stephen gave his answer succinctly. Thor looked at Darkseid with a bit of pity in his eyes. He could have set his sights on anything, but he had to set his sights on Luke's core foundation.

“Your gaze offends me!!” Darkseid noticed the sudden change in Thor's gaze. He was extremely sensitive and accurate in grasping emotions, and almost instantly understood the meaning represented by Thor's gaze. This made him frown, and the anger in his heart burned more vigorously.

Two red beams flashed from Darkseid's eyes, and the trapezoidal beams shot directly at Thor in a winding manner. Even though Thor's reaction was extremely fast and he dodged before the beams appeared, he only made the beams turn a few more times in the void.

Even though Stephen opened a portal in front of Thor and behind Darkseid at the same time, the two beams that flashed away with lightning speed were conscious and able to skillfully turn again, bypassing the edge of the portal to the limit and hitting Thor behind the portal.

The shock wave from the magnificent explosion flattened the ground by several meters, and Thor, who was hit, was directly blasted away in a mess, as if he had been severely injured, and his life aura inevitably dropped a little. Stephen even saw blood seeping out from Thor's armor. This gave him a reliable judgment of the power of the Omega Effect.

The physique of the Asgardian Protoss is very strong, especially after experiencing the infusion and nourishment of psionic energy. Odin and Thor's physiques have once again undergone a leap-forward transition, evolving to another level. Thor's body has extremely high resistance to any attack, which makes him more resistant to beatings and also has higher divine power and vitality.

When Stephen spars with Thor, he can only rely on spells to delay and tease him as much as possible to delay time, letting him get tired of playing and give up. Wanting to defeat Thor head-on is as powerless as when another version of himself once faced Thanos who had several Infinity Stones.

But such a thick-skinned Thor would be instantly injured when facing the power of the Omega Effect? This is enough to illustrate the power and danger of the Omega Effect.

“Becky!” Stephen didn't dare to be careless. He almost instantly crossed a portal, came to Becky's side, and shouted at her. He wasn't sure whether the next attack would still be borne by Thor, or whether he would need to bear it.

Thor could withstand it, but that didn't mean he could. With a choice, Stephen certainly didn't want to take risks.

Suddenly, the hollow sphere he wore on his chest shone with emerald green light, and blurred images flashed before Stephen's eyes. He looked at those images with his scalp almost tingling and stretched his hands forward, instantly releasing a defensive spell.

Seraphim Shield!

One of the strongest defensive magic in Kamar-Taj's old version of spells.

Several circular energy shields firmly protected Stephen and Becky inside. After the winding beam circled the energy shield a few times, it actually directly carried out a space jump, abruptly entering from the outside to the inside, as if a part of it bypassed Stephen's magic, ignored its existence, and directly appeared in front of Stephen's eyes.

The beam hit.

Stephen's expression froze, and then with a bang, he exploded in front of Becky's eyes, his entire body turning into fluttering green butterflies, covering the battlefield. Beautiful and tragic.

Then the next moment, the disappeared Stephen reappeared on the field, his face still a little lingering fear.

The Ancient Body of Hoggoth!

A powerful spell that can resist and dissolve all material and energy attacks. It was this spell that allowed Stephen to escape death and resist Darkseid's attack.

Of course, it was also because he saw some fragments of images about the future at a critical moment, which allowed him to react in time and make adjustments and preparations based on the future. Otherwise, he would not have been able to perfectly resist this attack so easily and simply. After all, the power of the Omega Effect is guaranteed to hit. The moment you see it, you may have already endured its power. Without prior preparation, it is difficult to carry out the correct defense at such a short distance.

“You have impressed me.” Darkseid was the first time to see that both of his two major powers had failed after hitting the enemy. First, the Anti-Life Equation, and then the Omega Effect. These two powers, which had always been invincible and would inevitably lay the cornerstone of victory once used, were actually resisted by the two people in front of him in various ways. This made Darkseid feel gloomy in his heart, and also gave rise to a must-kill heart for the two. He couldn't accept that his power would be endured and restrained by others!

Stephen's face changed. He saw red beams of light erupting from Darkseid's eyes one after another, but then he once again saw a momentary image about the future, which made him feel at ease.

A tall giant turned into a thick and solid barrier like a mountain in front of them. Becky grabbed Stephen's hand, and with a flash, dodged far away, and came to the head of a large octopus that was waving its tentacles and wreaking havoc.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions erupted on the giant's body one after another. The frequent number of attacks made even Thor, who likes to be reckless, feel a subconscious twitch in his heart when he heard it.

Darkseid's face was almost dripping with water at this moment. He didn't understand why the guaranteed hit Omega Effect didn't fall on the target, but fell on the giant who suddenly appeared not far away.

“Is it gravity?”

Suddenly, Darkseid, who had eye contact with the giant, felt his body sink, and his tough muscles and bones were more likely to break. He almost gritted his teeth and resisted the inexplicable power on his body, glaring at the giant.

However, Darkseid resisted this sudden force, but the satellite under his feet and the surrounding Parademon army could not resist. Becky quickly threw out one space door after another, gathering all her pets back into her hands in an instant, and then took Stephen and Thor without looking back into the layers of space, and when they reappeared, they were at the edge of the Apokolips star system void.

“Why run?” Because he ran fast and didn't feel that power, Thor looked at Becky somewhat puzzled.

“Why not run? Do you want to stay there and be compressed into dust by gravity? I know you are not afraid of black holes, but it takes effort to fish you out if you are caught.” Becky said plausibly: “It’s enough to have that big guy to clear the field. We can maximize his role by leaving.”

“What about the Omega Effect attack just now?” Stephen winked at Thor, and the two looked at Becky together.

“Was it forcibly captured?” Becky thought seriously and gave an answer. Although the power of the Omega Effect has some conceptual rules, it is not impossible to overcome and resist the attribute of guaranteed hit. Doesn't Old Man Odin's Gungnir have the rule attribute of guaranteed hit and penetration?
