Chapter 123 System Upgrade

Just as Roy was pondering whether to get his hands on the Reality Stone ahead of time to prevent Jane from being "parasitized" by it, the system suddenly popped up a message he had never seen before.

[New version detected. Estimated upgrade time: 10 days!]

During the system upgrade, the delegation function is temporarily disabled. Other functions are unaffected. Do you wish to upgrade?

The system can be upgraded?

Roy looked at the suddenly popped-up upgrade information with a surprised expression.

Although it was unexpected, he made a decision after only two or three seconds of thought.

upgrade!

Sensing his thoughts, the system displayed new information.

Upgrade begins!

[Upgrade in progress————]

[Upgrade time remaining: 9 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds]

After closing the information panel, Roy decided to wait until the system upgrade was complete before retrieving the Reality Gem.

Of the six Infinity Stones, the Reality Stone is the only one that normally exists in a fluid form.

Only after being stored inside the Infinity Gauntlet will it take on the solid form of a gem, just like other gems.

Without a suitable "container," the Reality Stone is the only gem that can parasitize the user and drain their life force.

Roy doesn't have the Infinity Gauntlet, nor any other container that can hold the Reality Stone.

In other words, he needs to sort out the container problem before he can take the Reality Stone.

He didn't want to end up like Jane and Malekith, using his own body as a vessel.

Although his body is very strong.

But he still had no idea of ​​using his body as a container.

Time flies.

Ten days have passed without us even realizing it.

During these ten days, he successfully obtained the Dragon Scale Kunai and Dragon Scale Sword made by Tony, and as agreed beforehand, he used the Palm Healing Technique to help Tony heal the wound on his chest after Tony's surgery.

In addition, after some research, he also successfully created a container that could hold the Reality Stone, which is the Aether particle.

He drew inspiration from Gaara's gourd, using Uru metal obtained from Asgard and dragon scales from Tarot, along with ninjutsu knowledge gained from the system's ninjutsu rewards, to personally craft a gourd-shaped ninja tool.

Ether Gourd!

The Reality Stone is also known as the Aether.

It would be quite reasonable to call the gourd containing the Reality Gem an Ether Gourd.

Of course, this is also because he was too lazy to rack his brains to come up with an extra name.

Although the name is somewhat random, that doesn't matter.

Since he couldn't test the Ether Gourd, he prepared an additional method.

Cosmic Cube!

If the Aether Gourd cannot contain the Reality Stone, then use the Space Stone's power to store the Reality Stone inside the Tesseract, allowing the Space Stone and the Reality Stone to share a container.

Roy didn't know who originally created the Tesseract to house the Space Stone.

All he knew was that the Tesseract wasn't created by Odin.

Before Odin, the Tesseract had been possessed by many civilizations in the universe.

new York.

Villas in the Upper East Side.

Roy sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the countdown information panel.

[Upgrade time remaining: 2 minutes and 29 seconds]

In two and a half minutes, the system will complete the upgrade and become a brand new version.

He wasn't sure what new features the upgraded system would have.

The only thing he can be sure of now is that the original delegation function will definitely still exist.

In addition, the rewards given by the system for commissions will most likely be similar to those before, all being items from the Naruto world.

After all, this system is only undergoing an upgrade, not a complete replacement.

Two and a half minutes passed quickly.

When the countdown on the information panel ends, the system immediately displays new information.

Upgrade complete!

[The Client Hall feature is now available!]

The service hall?

What is this?

Roy didn't waste any brain cells thinking and immediately opened the system's main panel, which was the attribute panel.

At the bottom of the properties panel, a new section of content appears.

[Commission Hall: Now Open]

When his gaze fell on the Commission Hall section, a brand new panel appeared in his field of vision.

【Commission Hall】

Number of pending orders: 3

【Commission 1】

[Source of the commission: X-Men 2; Commission content: To make Rogue an ordinary person without the X-gene; Commission reward: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]

【Commission 2】

[Source of the commission: Wolverine 3; Commission details: Help Laura reach the Canadian border; Commission reward: Imitation]

【Commission 3】

[Source of the commission: Captain America 1; Content of the commission: Help Rogers fulfill his wish to join the army; Reward for the commission: Explosion]

As Roy browsed the commissions in the commission hall, the system sent the upgraded instructions to his mind.

Roy was initially puzzled as to why there were no descriptions of the clients in the commission hall.

After reading the upgrade instructions sent by the system, he understood the reason.

The reason why there are no clients in the entrustment hall is that these entrustments are automatically issued by the system based on the wishes of characters in parallel universes.

In other words, the system is the principal of these principals.

Furthermore, because these requests all originate from parallel universes, when executing these requests, he will be transported to a specific parallel universe.

After completing the task, he can choose to return immediately or stay in the parallel universe for a period of time before returning.

The time flow rate in the parallel universe is exactly the same as the time flow rate in his current universe.

-

How long he stayed in the parallel universe is how long will have passed in the current universe.

In addition to the newly opened delegation hall, the original delegation functions have been perfectly retained.

In other words, once he arrives in a parallel universe, he can also accept commissions that interest him from other people.

After a quick thought, Roy closed the panel of the commission hall and took out the Cosmic Cube from the system space.

He had no idea where the Reality Stone had been hidden by Odin's father, Thor's grandfather, Bauer.

However, this is not a problem.

All you need to do is know where to open the portal.

Sensing his thoughts, the Space Stone immediately opened a portal.

Without any hesitation, Roy got up and entered the portal.

After emerging from the portal, he found himself in a dark place that resembled the ruins of a palace.

Directly in front of him was a square stone pillar, six or seven meters high.

The stone pillar is divided into two sections, the upper section being four or five meters high, and the lower section being only a little over one meter high.

Between the two stone pillars, there was a gap, through which a red light shimmered.

On the ground where the stone pillar stands, there are marks left by the Rainbow Bridge teleportation, like a magic circle.

Roy did not close the portal behind him. He switched the Cosmic Cube to his left hand and took out the Ether Gourd he had created from the system space.

Then, with the Tesseract in his left hand and the Ether Gourd in his right, he arrived in front of the giant stone pillar that housed the Reality Stone.

Through the cracks, he could clearly see the fluid-like real gems flowing continuously within the gaps in the stone pillar.

He took a deep breath and mobilized his chakra, allowing the blue chakra cloak to cover his entire body from every angle.

After doing all this, he opened the stopper of the Ether Gourd, aligned the bottle opening with the gap, and manipulated his chakra to activate the technique within the Ether Gourd.

As the spell was activated, the mouth of the Ether Gourd generated a powerful suction force, forcibly absorbing the flowing Reality Stone.

Roy dared not be careless in the slightest, keeping a close eye on the Reality Stone's every move, while also preparing to activate the Space Stone at any time.
