Why did he transmigrate to the Marvel Universe?
Why was he bound to a mutated Reality Stone stronger than the original Marvel Universe Reality Stone?
Why him, and not someone else?
Was it an unknown organization or an unknown powerful being that orchestrated all of this?
Michael had questions, but after some thought, he decided to skip them.
Michael was naturally curious about this, but he also knew that in the short term, and possibly even before he gained the ability to transmigrate out of the Marvel Universe, he wouldn't get answers.
Since that's the case, why dwell on these questions?
Michael is not someone who overthinks things, nor does he believe he is some reincarnation of a powerful figure, or that some powerful beings will inexplicably come to him.
Perhaps some organization or powerful being wanted to conduct an experiment by having him bind the mutated and upgraded Reality Stone and transmigrate to the Marvel Universe?
In any case, Michael only knew that he just needed to live his own life.
No matter what is behind it all, as long as he lives as he pleases, freely and without regret, that is enough!
...The mutated and upgraded Reality Stone, bound to Michael, automatically attuned to the Marvel Universe's origin, but it does not actively provide Michael with power.
Perhaps a super powerful being set a restriction, or perhaps this mutated and upgraded Reality Stone was always meant to be used this way.
Although Michael will not have his life force drained, to achieve various goals through the mutated Reality Stone, he needs to actively provide energy.
It's a rule similar to exchange: give me enough energy, and I will help you achieve any idea you can realize!
The energy Michael needs to provide can be energy he cultivates himself, energy he actively absorbs, or even energy he actively absorbs using the [mutated gem].
After binding to Michael, the [mutated gem] specifically created an area to store the energy Michael actively absorbs. However, the [mutated gem] takes a share of the energy Michael absorbs through it, currently a fifty-fifty split.
[Note: The mutated and upgraded Reality Stone will hereafter be referred to as the [mutated gem]. The name is too long, not aesthetically pleasing, and readers would surely think Author-Jun is deliberately padding the word count 0.0]
Michael expressed his acceptance of this.
After all, as Michael becomes more powerful, his control over the [mutated gem] will grow stronger. This sharing ratio will naturally increase in Michael's favor until it is completely his own, and the [mutated gem] no longer acts stingy.
That's right, the [mutated gem] is only bound to Michael; it is not completely controlled by him. Otherwise, if Michael could simply eliminate Sunset Purple Sweet Potato with a thought, wouldn't that be too easy?
...Having learned how to use the [mutated gem], Michael naturally wanted to try it out.
He looked around and realized that apart from the power outlet, there seemed to be no other source of energy to absorb in the room?
"But~"
"Will I really not get electrocuted by directly touching the outlet?"
Although he knew the [mutated gem] was very powerful and that under its protection he certainly wouldn't be electrocuted by the mere voltage of a residential circuit, Michael, who had never been so reckless, looked at the wall outlet and couldn't help but feel a surge of apprehension.
'This is insane.'
'If I get electrocuted, I'll probably become the funniest transmigrator ever!'
Hiss~~
Whoosh~~~
He took a deep breath.
'Forget it, forget it.'
'If I die, I die; if I don't, I live forever!'
'If I can't even do this, how can I become strong, and how can I face Sunset Purple Sweet Potato?'
Fortunately, the ruthless drive Michael had developed from his struggles in society before transmigrating was ignited. Although still a bit anxious, Michael was not going to back down.
He searched left and right, rummaging through things, and Michael helplessly discovered that the room was too damn clean; he couldn't even find a spoon?
Left with no choice, Michael finally detached the ear pick and folding small scissors from his keychain.
Holding the ear pick in one hand and the small scissors in the other, he hesitated for a moment.
With a ruthless resolve, Michael harshly plunged the tips of the ear pick and small scissors into the power outlet holes.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~
As expected, the sound of electricity suddenly rang out.
However!
Michael found that he hadn't been electrocuted into charcoal.
Furthermore, the sizzling sound of electricity only lasted for two brief moments when he first plugged them in, then immediately subsided into silence.
At the same time, the small hotel's electricity meter began to spin frantically, at a speed that would surely make the hotel owner faint in despair at just a glance!
But Michael didn't feel any stinging pain; instead, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body through his hands. That feeling was even more stimulating than visiting the scantily clad young women in the shelter!
It was truly, too! Awesome!
Michael declared, let this stimulation come even more fiercely!
Sizzle~~~
Bang!!!
As if controlled by thought, with Michael's intention flashing, he indeed felt a strong sense of stimulation.
However!
Boom!!!
Outside the window, a transformer not far away instantly exploded due to an instantaneous surge of electricity.
The enormous sound spread through the surrounding streets, and the bright flash of fire illuminated the suddenly darkened neighborhood as if it were day.
Car alarms, the wailing of fire trucks, and the chaotic din of the bustling crowd passed through the window and into Michael's ears.
Michael, who had been wondering why the tingling sensation had disappeared, also sobered up at that moment.
He went to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and observed carefully for a while.
Michael was shocked to discover that he himself was the cause of all this!
Michael: I! How ~ am ~ I ~ so ~ powerful!
