Chapter 241 Discussing Gods and Deities Through Tea

Russell suddenly became interested, snapped his fingers, and with a crisp snap, the surrounding environment began to change rapidly.

Before long, they crossed the cosmic barrier and returned to Earth-404.

With the silver card given to him by Coulson, the current COO of the Kamar-Taj Group, Russell went to a Chinese restaurant that mainly served breakfast and tea and booked a private room.

Russell instructed the waiter to serve tea and snacks, then took out the Sword of Light and, with a flick of his wrist, released Nal from it.

Let's begin our discussion of the divine over tea.

Nar watched Russell go through the entire process quietly, completely bewildered.

"Master, why are you doing this?"

Bertrand Russell smiled and said, "Let's discuss the divine over tea."

"Discussing deities while brewing tea?"

Nar, the god of symbiotes, was puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, although I didn't know the story of "discussing heroes over wine", I could roughly guess what Russell meant.

Nar sat down opposite Russell, though he was not very familiar with human etiquette and the human food did not suit his taste.

But thinking about how long he might be sealed away, he still picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Each universe, each planet, and each race and civilization has its own unique pantheon, such as the Norse pantheon, the Greek pantheon, and the Egyptian pantheon on Earth."

They often possess immortal or lifespans exceeding those of ordinary life, as well as magical powers, and are known as the new gods.

"Master, can these be considered true gods?"

While waiting for Russell's reply, Nar was also busy.

Once they got a little familiar with how to use chopsticks, they kept putting them down, one meatball after another, then one shrimp dumpling after another, ruining the mood of tea tasting.

Russell didn't mind. After taking a sip of tea and savoring it for a while, he shook his head: "They are too weak to be considered true gods."

Nar swallowed his food quickly and then said, "What about the Old Gods? They were the first gods born in the Eternal Heart (Earth-616), far more powerful than the New Gods."

Are they truly gods?

Russell thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Although the ancient gods are generally more powerful than the new gods."

But a war against the God Eaters nearly wiped out the race, with the vast majority of its members dying.

They died too easily to be considered true gods.

Nar downed the tea in one gulp and laughed heartily: "And what about me? The embodiment of the abyss and darkness, immortal and indestructible, impossible to truly kill."

Is he a true god?

Russell nodded, then shook his head: "You are difficult to truly kill, but you are too weak."

It possesses some characteristics of a god, but it cannot be considered a true god.

"I'm weak?!"

Nar reflexively asked a question, and then saw Russell nod as if it were perfectly natural.

"I just..."

Nar wanted to defend himself, saying that he was just not at his peak, not that he was truly weak, but he only opened his mouth.

Although his defeat was compounded by a number of unfavorable factors.

The all-black Death Sword in his hand is not the original; the original Black Death Sword was stolen after he was injured in battle.

He was inadvertently taken away from the symbiote army by Russell and was unable to put on the complete symbiote armor.

Combat strategy error

But a loss is a loss, and there's no point in making excuses.

More importantly, the mage in front of him, after devouring the primordial dark energy from the abyss of the universe, unleashed a combat power far exceeding his own.

As the embodiment of the abyss and darkness, he was unable to truly unite the power of the abyss and darkness.

But this monk did it.

If it weren't for the fact that this mage's energy properties were completely unrelated to the abyss and darkness, he would have even suspected that this mage was the master and creator of the abyss and darkness.

After a long silence and drinking cup after cup of tea, Nar said, "What about the abstract entities of the universe? They possess both the characteristics of the gods you described and are powerful enough."

Are they truly gods?

Russell remained silent, which was exactly what he wanted to know.

Are these abstract cosmic entities, considered part of the multiverse and embodiments of cosmic rules, truly gods?

Looking at Nar, the embodiment of abyss and darkness, Russell had a sudden realization.

Eternity, infinity, death, annihilation.

They are an important part of the Marvel Universe, the true gods of the Marvel Universe!

For the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the rules they symbolize are more important than the rules symbolized by Knull.

They are also stronger than Nar.

Russell nodded in agreement with Nar, but his mind was on another matter.

Do I want to become that kind of god?

If I become such a god, then what am I the embodiment of?

energy?

According to the mass-energy equivalence equation, mass and energy can be interconverted.

It looks pretty good.

But it seems my talent isn't just about energy.

Russell opened the attribute panel and turned his attention to his two talent attributes.

Talent 1 [Energy Absorption]: Can absorb any energy and convert it into attribute points.

Talent 2 [Attribute Transfer]: Attribute points can be used to enhance the Divine Body.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

As his life level continued to evolve, he had long ago discovered that his talent 1 [Energy Absorption] had many additional functions.

It looks like a skill that helps improve physical fitness, but it's surprisingly useful in battle.

At this stage, he can manipulate almost any form of energy in the multiverse.

Absorption, transformation, and release are all easily accomplished.

It even obscures the most basic and core characteristics of the panel.

--strengthen!

Perfectly utilize energy for limitless enhancement, concentrate all energy into a single individual, and unleash even greater combat power.

This is true power gathered in one body!

Russell turned his gaze back to the attribute panel, where the two question marks had disappeared.

[Name: Russell (Super God)]

Description: Possessing immense power, surpassing and transcending all.

With his doubts resolved, Russell smiled and chatted with Nal about other ancient gods, ancient races, and abstract entities in the universe.

Although the symbiotic god Nal is not a social butterfly, spending most of his time either in slumber, imprisoned, or waging war, his knowledge remains profound due to the accumulation of countless years.

The two had a very pleasant conversation, and their discussion over tea lasted for a long time. It mainly consisted of Russell asking questions and Nar answering.

The symbiotic god said he ate this "last meal" very well.

We drank a lot of tea, ate a lot of breakfast, and told a lot of stories.

"Nar, the God of Symbiotes".

Russell smiled and drew the Sword of Light.

"Is there anything else you'd like to drink or eat? After you've finished drinking and eating, it's time to go back."

Nar shook his head and consciously entered the Sword of Light.

He wasn't particularly attached to food or drink; he just couldn't resist the temptation of getting something for free.

He was willing to answer Russell's question because of Russell's promise.

—Don't disturb his sleep.

"Master, perhaps when I wake up, I will be free again."

But by then, I don't know how many years you've been reduced to dust.

As a noble, immortal being, Nar couldn't help but be stubborn again before falling into slumber.

Even in a multiverse, there is more than one iteration.

He believed that the monk would die sooner or later, and his seal would be broken sooner or later.

Simple imprisonment, no matter how long, is nothing more than a long sleep.

Russell simply smiled at this.

To be honest, he was quite envious of Gnar's immortality, which gave him maximum leeway.
