Chapter 387: A Journey Through Space
🕑 Added 2025-09-21 06:33:17 +0000 UTCIn the evening, after parting ways with Ms.Haifin, Noah immediately went to his lab. With all matters finally handled, Noah naturally turned his thoughts to improving his own strength. Although he had unknowingly reached the peak of Seventh-Tier, Ninth-Grade, Noah knew very well that this level of strength wouldn't play a decisive role in the future. To truly make a definitive impact, he needed to be like the Ancient One, occupying a relatively invincible position.
Of course, this was only relatively invincible; Noah truly didn't know what lay beyond the Milky Way, nor what gods were truly like.
Glancing at the Time Stone on his chest, Noah shook his head and casually opened a Mirror Dimension. Compared to the Time Stone, which he had just acquired and hadn't yet seen a "live demonstration" of, Noah felt it was better to first thoroughly study the Space Stone. After all, the Space Stone was the first one he had encountered.
Most importantly, his body also had an inseparable connection with the Space Stone. One could say that without the Space Stone, there would be no Carol's mutation, and thus no Noah's current physique.
Slowly taking the Space Stone out of the Mirror Dimension, a brilliant blue light immediately appeared in Noah's lab. The Space Stone was still sealed within the Tesseract, but even so, the energy it emitted was incredibly powerful. And, just like before, the energy emanating from the Tesseract formed an indescribable resonance with Noah's body. Noah looked at the Tesseract in his hand, suddenly feeling as if it were a part of his own body. This feeling was very strange, but Noah didn't pay too much attention to it. Noah's magic instantly began to surge. In just a moment, his magic entered the Tesseract, and at that instant, the Tesseract emitted an even more dazzling light!
"This is..." Suddenly, Noah felt a pull from something. It
wasn't his body being pulled, but his soul! It was as if an invisible black hole surrounded Noah, constantly drawing his soul. This feeling was terrible; Noah didn't like it at all. But Noah found that he seemed to have no ability to resist this pull. In just a moment, Noah felt as if he had lost consciousness.
After an unknown period, when Noah regained consciousness, he was surprised to find himself no longer in his room. His current location was an boundless expanse of azure, and in the middle of this azure was a dazzling blue sun! "What's going on?" Noah frowned and looked around, coming to a conclusion that left him speechless: he seemed to have been pulled into the interior of the Tesseract by that power! This discovery made Noah feel a bit speechless, as there was no such scene in the original plot.
Helpless, Noah tentatively walked towards the blue sun at the core of the Tesseract. After all, Noah had no idea what to do now, so he could only try various methods.
However, as he walked, he also observed his surroundings. Although Noah wasn't sure what state he was in, he could guess a few things. Noah couldn't use magic now; he had secretly tried it earlier. But Noah's other sensory abilities seemed to be intact, so Noah basically confirmed that he should be in a consciousness state or a soul state.
As Noah's consciousness spread and observed, he was surprised to find that the boundless azure flowing like a tide wasn't the glow emitted by the Space Stone at all; these were purely the overflowing powers from the Space Stone! Looking at this vast azure, Noah couldn't help but fall silent. The quality of these powers was beyond imagination! Most importantly, Noah also seemed to have discovered that these unimaginably powerful forces were simply the excess powers discharged by the Space Stone!
"It is said that any single Infinity Stone, if the user has enough power, can easily destroy a planet! It seems this statement is not an exaggeration." Noah secretly pondered. Indeed, the terrifying extent of these powers surpassed Noah's comprehension. Perhaps Red Skull, S.H.I.E.L.D., or Mar-Vell had only extracted a fraction of these discharged powers, but even with that, they had accomplished many unimaginable things.
"Infinity Stones are truly terrifying. Just one has such immense power. It probably can unleash power comparable to a Tenth-Tier entity, right?" How terrifying a Tenth-Tier entity was, Noah dared not imagine, just as Noah couldn't know how terrifying his teacher was right now.
But one thing Noah knew was that Tenth-Tier was not the end, but rather a starting point, and this universe was not a simple place. While there might not be entities like Galactus and the Cosmic Entities they represent, it didn't mean there were no terrifying beings in this world.
Moreover, each universe could branch into various parallel universes and unique worlds that arose due to special differences.
Noah remembered that a certain Thanos from some world would just casually traverse different universes with the Space Stone. As for traversing different worlds? Noah had considered this, but after much thought, Noah found he was simply looking for trouble.
"Leaving aside that I'm not that powerful in this world, what if I'm unlucky enough to directly go to the main Marvel comic universe? I'd probably just be a grunt, right? Hmm, I might be a grunt in this world too." Noah was self-aware. However, while Noah was lost in thought, he had already walked to the Space Stone.
Looking at the azure glowing gem, Noah felt completely captivated by it. Subconsciously, Noah almost instinctively reached out and touched the gem.
But the next moment, Noah somewhat regretted why he was so impulsive, but it was already too late. The moment Noah touched the gem, he experienced the ecstasy of ascension! Just as the Ancient One taught Stephen Strange about the universe, Noah, in that instant, felt as if he was in the entire universe! And Noah's "flying" speed was even faster than Strange's, and he could explore more places!
During this continuous "flight," Noah was constantly memorizing everything he saw, constantly familiarizing himself with the forces that were taking him on this "flight." Noah didn't know how long he "flew." When he felt everything stop, his mind was already crammed with all sorts of information.
"This was a terrible experience!" This experience was indeed exceptionally bad. Even if Noah accidentally saw the whole universe in one trip, it couldn't offset the feeling of motion sickness Noah felt. But Noah didn't have time to fully experience this discomfort, because he was now somewhat dumbfounded.
When Noah had just stopped, he suddenly found that these azure forces were continuously pouring into his body! This left Noah confused, as Noah judged that he was currently only a consciousness or soul. Would these forces pouring in like this really be useful?
Moreover, Noah simply couldn't forget everything he had seen before. Although Noah wasn't as lucky as Stephen Strange to see a plethora of incredible creatures, Noah did see countless glowing points that emitted power similar to the Space Stone! "What are those? Portals? Or something else?"
Now, Noah was so overwhelmed by these forces that he couldn't move, which made Noah involuntarily recall everything he had seen before. In Noah's memory, he had "flown" through the entire world, and in this entire world, he had seen countless glowing points similar to the Space Stone's power, but Noah was certain these glowing points were not caused by the Space Stone.
This situation left Noah puzzled, and the Space Stone didn't give Noah any time to linger and observe those glowing points! This made Noah feel a bit melancholic.
He found his curiosity growing stronger and stronger. He even wondered what lay behind those glowing points. "It seems I'll have to take a good look when I have time later. If I remember correctly, there seem to be quite a few glowing points on Earth too."
There weren't many glowing points on Earth, but there were at least ten or so. Noah carefully memorized these little things. Moreover, Noah had a rather absurd premonition that these glowing points might actually be other parallel universes!
Because even though Noah didn't get close to those glowing points, and even when the Space Stone carried him "flying," it intentionally or unintentionally avoided these glowing points. However, the auras emanating from those glowing points were different from the aura of the universe Noah was currently in!
"Could it be that I can truly achieve an infinite flow of power?" Noah thought to himself, but just then, Noah felt that the azure forces seemed to stop pouring into his "body." And the Space Stone, less than half a meter from Noah, also began to emit strange fluctuations. These fluctuations were long and mysterious, and Noah seemed to feel his heartbeat starting to jump and stop with these fluctuations.
"What's going on now?" Noah really wanted to curse. It seemed this Space Stone had a strong opinion of him, inexplicably pulling him in, then inexplicably dragging him on a "trip." But before Noah could say anything, he felt dizzy, just like when he first entered!
When Noah regained his vision again, he suddenly found himself back in his lab. And by this time, his lab was filled with people. Whether it was Ms.Haifin, Wong, Dennis, or Loki, and all those little ones who remained in the Sanctum,
they were all looking at Noah with concern.
"Noah, are you okay?" Ms.Haifin asked with concern when she saw Noah wake up.
"Me?" Noah was a little confused. "I'm fine. What happened?"
"What happened? Do you know? Three days ago, after you entered the lab, the entire Sanctum emitted a powerful blue light!"
"Blue light? Wait, did you just say three days ago?"
"Yes, three days ago! What in the world were you doing?"
"..."
