A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 219 The Brain of Titan
In the end, Levi did not let Jessica do this high-risk job.

After all, although Jessica was powerful, her control over energy was far inferior to that of Levi, a mage who had made a pact with a lord of hell.

"Keep an eye on the surroundings and don't let anyone disturb me!" Standing atop Igor's core, Levi solemnly addressed Tony and Jessica.

"Don't worry, we won't let those things touch you!" Tony said after blasting off a tentacle with a cannon. "But you'd better hurry, we can't hold out for long."

Jessica didn't speak, but calmly smashed a tentacle with her hammer, making her stance clear.

Meanwhile, Ego, who existed in the form of a giant energy giant in the distance, tried to stop Levi and his group, but was held back and beaten by Carol Danvers, so he could only rely on his tentacles to stop Levi and his group.

However, this obviously won't have much effect, or rather, it won't have much effect in the short term.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, who was at the core, put on the pre-prepared gauntlets and picked up the Cosmic Orb.

The gauntlets that Li Wei prepared in advance for using the Power Gem were certainly no ordinary items.

Rather, like the Thunder Hammer in Jessica's hands, it is an epic-level piece of equipment.

It is called a steel clamp hand guard.

The battle axe, named the Magic Axe, is also an epic weapon.

Both of these pieces of equipment were specially crafted by Li Wei during his time in Ego after leaving Morag, so that he could use the Power Gem.

The materials required for these two pieces of equipment were so expensive that even Li Wei felt heartbroken, far exceeding what Jessica's Thunder Hammer could provide.

Although both are "level 70" epic equipment, the materials required for the Thunder Hammer are the simplest among all epic equipment of the same level.

This is why the Thunder Hammer became the first epic equipment that Li Wei crafted. The materials required for it were only 20 Primal Air, 20 Primal Water, 6 Hardened Adamantite Ingots, and 12 Kryptonite Ingots.

Although these things are rare, they are still more than enough for Li Wei.

However, the two pieces of equipment that Li Wei currently possesses are different.

Kryptonite Bars and Felsteel Bars are relatively straightforward, but Primal Energy and Primal Void are much more complicated.

Primal energy requires alchemy, which involves fusing and transforming five materials: primal air, fire, water, earth, and primal magic.

Although unlike in games where there's a limit of only one conversion per day, this conversion process is still extremely demanding in terms of magic and time.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Wei now has Shakora, the Lord of Hell, as a major source of energy, he would probably only be able to sustain this level of energy consumption by drinking medicinal herbs.

And the primordial void is even more out of the question.

There is no crafting recipe for this thing; in the game, it is obtained by defeating the final boss of a dungeon.

At first, Li Wei was also at a loss.

It was during the conversion of primordial energy that he gained inspiration—because the materials required for primordial energy included all primordial elemental substances except for primordial shadow.

What if we add the original shadow?

As it turned out, Li Wei stumbled upon the Primordial Void by sheer luck.

However, although the manufacturing method exists, the manufacturing difficulty is even greater than that of the original energy.

Although it's just one more element, the energy required for the transformation process has doubled.

Therefore, in terms of cost and time spent, these two epic-level equipment items are more than twice as expensive as the warhammer given to Jessica.

Such a huge expenditure was to ensure that Li Wei himself could withstand the corruption of the Power Gem.

After putting on the gauntlets, Li Wei unscrewed the cosmic orb, revealing the purple gem of power inside.

Ego and Captain Marvel seemed to sense it the moment the Power Stone appeared.

Igor and the tentacles around him became even more ferocious.

Without hesitation, Li Wei, having taken out the Power Gem, grabbed it. The moment the Power Gem's power began to erode the gauntlet, he immediately spun it into the Magic Axe.

The reason he chose to craft the Fel Axe as a container for the Power Gem instead of other weapons was simply because, among all the crafting recipes of the same level, only this weapon had a built-in socket, allowing for the best placement of the gem without compromising the weapon's structure.

Jewel setting is not a simple matter, after all, most magical equipment has its own complete magical structure.

Any substantial change could disrupt this structure, leading to a decrease in the quality of magical equipment.

Therefore, drilling holes in a piece of equipment that does not have any inlay holes is not an easy task.

For ordinary, well-made or excellent-quality equipment, given Li Wei's current skill level, it wouldn't be too difficult to add a hole to large pieces of equipment like weapons and armor.

However, including the two epic-level equipment pieces in Li Wei's possession, he has only crafted a total of three pieces, which is far from enough for him to accumulate sufficient experience.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't waste that time and materials to create a piece of equipment without sockets and then specifically try to create sockets.

And this magical axe did not disappoint Levi's expectations. Just like Ronan the Accuser's warhammer in the movie, it successfully withstood the Power Stone's violent energy. However, Levi did not let his guard down because of this, nor did he remove the steel pincers. In just a few seconds, a small portion of them had already been visibly corroded by the Power Stone's energy.

Instead, with the double protection of the gauntlets and the battle axe, it activated the power of the Power Gem and then slashed fiercely down at Ego's core.

A loud cracking sound rang out.

The core protective layer, which was originally extremely dense and incredibly sturdy, was easily cleaved in two by the violent power of the Power Gem.

Meanwhile, Igor's main body within the core was also severely damaged by this attack.

The energy giant, who had been locked in a fierce battle with Captain Marvel, let out a wail and then instantly disintegrated.

All those crazy tentacles on the entire planet will also fly away and be annihilated.

"Wow, this guy is finally dead!" Tony exclaimed in the channel upon seeing this.

“He should be dead.” Li Wei looked at the split-in-two Ego Core and smiled as he spoke, but when he looked at the magic-powered axe in his hand, his smile vanished.

Because at this point, the magic axe was already covered with cracks.

The Power Stone is ultimately a powerful treasure of cosmic scale.

Even the most powerful level 70 epic weapons could not withstand its violent energy.

Although it did not have any effect on Li Wei himself, the weapon, which had consumed a lot of Li Wei's efforts and inventory, came to an end with this short blow.

Even the Magic Axe has reached its end.

Even the steel clamp guards were eroded again by the energy of the Power Gem.

However, unlike the Magic Axe, it was not about to be completely destroyed.

Seeing this, Li Wei did not hesitate. He took out the Cosmic Orb again, removed the Power Gem from the Magic Axe, and then put it back in.

As the Power Gem was removed, the Magic Axe, which was already nearing its limit, instantly collapsed and shattered into a pile of fragments.

Li Wei hurriedly gathered up the fragments.

Although the energy that made this weapon epic is basically irretrievable, the kryptonite and adamantite used as basic materials can still be used. If all else fails, they can be used to fuse a shield, which wouldn't be much worse than Captain America's shield.

However, at this moment, Li Wei couldn't help but glance at the Cosmic Orb a few more times. He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he thought about it, something seemed off.

This cosmic orb was able to envelop the Power Stone for so many years, preventing any of its energy from leaking out.

This material—hmm, interesting!
"Oh shit..." Just as Levi was focusing his attention on the material of the Sphere, Tony swore beside him.

Startled, Li Wei followed his gaze and saw that at the core of Igor, which he had split in two, a "brain" was still pulsating rhythmically.

Igor is still alive!
But Li Wei soon discovered something different.

Because Ego's core brain should have been extremely bright and shining.

However, at this moment, Igor's mind appeared quite dim.

Clearly, while the axe blow didn't kill the "god" outright, it did cause almost irreparable damage.

"Wait, I have an idea!" Li Wei stopped Tony, who had already raised his hand, wanting to take advantage of his weakness.

"What do you want to do?" The question wasn't asked by Tony, but by Carol Danvers, who flew over.

Li Wei did not answer, but instead rode his battle suit to the side of Igor's "brain".

He is going to die.

And after his death, this planet will completely collapse.

"Yondu, are you all done on your end?" Li Wei asked over the communication channel.

“It’ll be over soon, what’s wrong?” Yondu replied quickly.

“Igor is about to die, and once he dies, the entire planet will collapse rapidly, so you have to leave now!” Li Wei reminded him. He would only remind him this once. If any raider didn’t leave after he reminded them, that was no longer his problem.

"Damn it, stop moving! Get out of here! This planet is about to be destroyed!" Knowing the gravity of the situation, Yondu didn't hesitate and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate.

At that moment, Li Wei also placed his hand on Igor's dying brain.

The next second, to the astonishment of Carol Danvers, Tony, and Jessica, Ego's brain simply vanished.

Inside Li Wei's inventory, an item appeared, labeled: Titan's Brain.

After doing all this, Li Wei was instantly exhausted.
