Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 1056 - 816: People Are Still Pretty Good

"Abyssal dogs, everyone must kill them..."

As Ego’s planet shuddered under the shockwaves of explosions and began collapsing, Tao Yu spoke timely from the command bridge.

"Have we confirmed his allegiance to the Abyss?"

Thanos looked somewhat astonished, his expression betraying surprise at Tao Yu’s abrupt action.

And when did this happen?

Despite Thanos’s considerable prowess, he couldn’t discern how Tao Yu had launched his attack here seamlessly.

"Space Gem used in conjunction with the Time Gem?"

Thanos asked with a hint of uncertainty.

"It was utilized."

Tao Yu neither confirmed nor denied, then glanced at the screen and said,

"Take a look at those energy tendrils. This form is frequently associated with the Abyss."

Amid the blaze of the planet’s destruction, the tendrils of blue energy, which were integral to Ego’s form, had sprawled across every corner of the celestial body, now disintegrating amidst the brilliance of the explosions.

Until Tao Yu’s Rotating Tomb Avatar breached the planet’s core with the Energy Sword and struck the giant brain-shaped nexus of Ego’s essence.

All the tendrils seemed to suffer from a fatal blow; as the Energy Sword Blade pierced the brain, they all stretched taut and then went limp.

Gradually, they transformed into glittering motes of starlight, beginning to dissipate alongside the shock wave of the planet’s destruction...

"I see now. Looks like he’s been scheming in this region for years. Every Abyssal dog deserves death!"

Seeing the pattern of the tendrils, Thanos also endorsed Tao Yu’s statement.

His eyes burned with fury and hatred toward Ego.

At that moment, Tao Yu reached out and opened a Door.

On the other side of the portal, energies ran rampant, radiating an aura of sheer annihilation akin to the end of the World.

It was the core explosion zone!

However, the impact shock from the explosion did not cross the portal to this side.

"I’ll head over to see if there’s anything worthwhile. Wait here for me."

Tao Yu’s statement drew a subtle expression from Rocket, whose feelings teetered on the edge of bemusement. This...

The big boss probably came all this way for something like this?

Directly impaling a planet with a massive sword!

Although Rocket couldn’t discern the specific methods, he’d seen Tao Yu’s Dharma Aspect in the Land of Nihility before, and this was undoubtedly the boss’s handiwork.

It was just becoming increasingly absurd.

Earlier in the Land of Nihility, Tao Yu had destroyed the Kreeans’ fleet; now, he had obliterated an entire planet.

Is this the power of the Infinite Gems...

...

Within the unending storm of energies, Tao Yu gazed ahead at the inert, lifeless brain—Ego’s most vital core.

"Independent Worlds rarely exhibit direct absorption techniques."

Tao Yu touched the brain’s corpse, which still radiated a surging aura of Yuan Force, his expression tinged with a trace of disappointment.

Previously, in that cryptic World, it had been the same: converting objects into Skills often required unique workarounds. This time, his primary acquisition was the standard Skill developed during his training with Tony.

And this energy-based brain was no different.

[Mysterious Star Brain Remains]: The remnants of a cosmic entity containing traces of Divinity, offering some improvement to Saints.

"This should be something necessary for Saints to advance further—a possible manifestation of World Will akin to Authority, as different aggregations of power, but unfortunately its level seems too low for me."

A seasoned Saint might be able to glean certain insights from this, but Tao Yu realized that his innate [Divinity] Talent ranked far higher than this object.

"Maybe I could sell it for money. No wonder the divination feedback suggested its value wasn’t as significant as the raccoon’s relic, even though this thing was far harder to deal with..."

Tao Yu once again felt the Abyss didn’t necessarily align the difficulty of attaining something with its compatibility for oneself.

Though Ego had been vaporized almost as soon as he appeared, Tao Yu’s choice to let Star Lord distract him while he attacked from behind indicated a recognition of Ego’s strength.

The fractured remnants of the planet now resembled a dense asteroid belt, a testament to Ego’s horrifying mass!

Only upon discovering Ego’s Will barely managed to coalesce, coupled with his slowness to react to intelligence, did Tao Yu opt for the simplest shortcut.

It wasn’t about being unable to defeat Ego with the five Infinite Gems—it was simply a more cost-effective approach...

As dark gold cross-shaped pupils began to appear in Tao Yu’s eyes, the Gate of Guf above his head opened once again, slowly dragging the energy-laden brain remains into itself.

"Actually, this thing’s value is already considerable. Its Yuan Force isn’t too abundant, but selling it could still fetch billions."

Tao Yu recalled the auxiliary items he’d provided to the Suns’ Supreme Elder, noting that for certain powerful individuals in need, items bartered with Yuan Force were absolutely worth the expenditure.

The reason this item’s price was limited lay simply in Yuan Force’s innate production rate and consumption properties.

In most places, while enough Yuan Force for circulation would undoubtedly remain, the majority would continually be used up to bolster one’s own strength.

Leaving large quantities of Yuan Force unused on hand could result in catastrophic losses if something unexpected occurred.

Just like preferring higher military expenses over reparations...

"Regarding this acquisition, the benefits alluded to by divination pale compared to that Supreme Evolution. Clearly, he can genuinely help me decipher the Life Stele."

Tao Yu’s face lit up with a hint of excitement. Truth be told, the Life Equation, apart from the new Talent formed by the Infinite Gems upon departure, was likely one of the greatest gains from this venture.

Then there were the myriad insights gleaned from Tony and the others...
