However;
This strange earthquake was far more than just two or three times.
In the next hour,
Six or seven more occurred intermittently.
At first, people would still panic.
But by the later earthquakes, people had already gotten used to it.
They didn't even stop their work, merely glancing down at their feet and then choosing to ignore it.
At the same time;
Inside the Crystal Cave.
Peter, who had just absorbed a large amount of life energy, also walked back dazedly.
He arrived later, thinking he could help, but by the time he got there, the fighting was mostly over. Afterwards, he just watched the whole thing unfold.
But he never expected that just by watching, he could stumble upon such a huge benefit?
This left Peter feeling a bit dazed.
It felt unreal!
"Kid, snap out of it."
Tony patted the kid on the shoulder and said.
He looked at the Spider-Kid and always felt a sense of familiarity.
He didn't know why.
"Mr. Stark, can I really live for a thousand years?"
Peter couldn't help but confirm.
This news was simply too incredible for him.
And unlike the others, he wasn't even an adult yet this year, so after absorbing a large amount of life energy, he didn't experience any external changes.
Therefore, Peter was very curious if he could really live for a thousand years.
"Don't worry, kid, don't overthink it. Just keep doing what you're supposed to do, and don't tell anyone about this, understand?"
Tony cautioned the young Peter. After all, he was the youngest among the "513" present, and also seemed the most immature in his actions. Tony was worried he might not be able to resist bragging about this to his friends or something.
If that were to happen, it could lead to very serious consequences!
After all;
Immortality has been humanity's dream since ancient times.
Especially for those powerful figures who hold great authority.
They are even more extremely obsessed with Eternal life!
If those people found out about this, wouldn't they harass the Avengers 24 hours a day?
So;
What needs to be kept secret must be kept secret.
Although the life energy of the Celestials inside the Planet is extremely vast.
Even if all of them absorbed it, they would still have absorbed far less than one quadrillionth of the opponent's total energy!
But even so;
Tony did not want every human being to live forever.
On one hand, the social system might collapse because of it!
On the other hand;
An overly long lifespan could very likely lead to the entire social structure becoming completely fixed.
The poor will be poor for life!
The rich will always be rich!
Those in power will no longer relinquish power to the young and will keep it in their own hands.
Originally, a worker only needed to work until 60 to retire.
But once everyone lives forever, this retirement age will inevitably be postponed indefinitely.
By that time, the retirement age will no longer be 60.
But 960!
Or even 9960!
Can you imagine a worker toiling for capitalists for thousands of years?
That is absolutely not the kind of Eternal life that should exist!
Who the hell lives forever just to better work for capitalists!
Are they out of their minds?
So;
Life energy can be taken.
But it needs to be screened.
And Tony felt that the Avengers could be responsible for this screening work.
In the future, when they select some people who are of great value to society and allow them to obtain a longer lifespan, this is the best use of life energy!
...
"It's your turn."
Mandarin looked at Rhodey and the other three, the only ones present who had not yet absorbed life energy.
"I'll do it."
Rhodey walked over and took Mandarin's place, then had Daisy step into the Crystal Cave and stand ready.
"The hand seal is like this, right?"
Rhodey had already memorized Mandarin's hand seal sequence and method, and now he confirmed it with him again.
After Mandarin confirmed that there were no problems, Rhodey quickly formed the hand seals and then released the energy within his body, blasting it into the ground before him!
Instantly—
A surge of life energy, far more vast than before, gushed out.
Continuously pouring into Daisy's body within the Crystal Cave!
Her body floated up, and the immense life energy nourished every cell in her entire body, even merging into her soul.
And people all over the World once again felt the familiar tremor.
However, what was strange was that this time the tremor lasted longer than the previous few times!
It only stopped after more than ten minutes.
Many people exclaimed that the earthquake was finally starting to change.
Before, it was always a few minutes each time, and they were almost beginning to think that the earthquake wouldn't change?
However;
The longer duration of the earthquake also caused some people to panic.
They worried whether the subsequent earthquakes would become progressively longer.
What if it lasted for several hours?
What if it became even more violent?
All sorts of worries began to appear in the hearts of these people.
But no matter how much they worried, it was useless.
After more than ten minutes passed.
The earthquake ended.
Then, in less than a minute.
The second earthquake, lasting over ten minutes, came again!
This was repeated three times before the earthquake's tremors finally subsided.
It never appeared again!
In the Crystal Cave.
Rhodey infused Gwen and the other three with enough lifespan to live for tens of millions of years!
The reason for infusing so much at once.
Was also to be on the safe side!
God knows how long this BUG-like method can be used?
Although a thousand years of life seemed long, Rhodey felt it wasn't enough.
So, he personally controlled it and infused each of them with tens of millions of years of life.
This way;
Even if an accident happens in the future and this BUG can no longer be exploited.
Then Gwen and the others can still live for tens of millions of years.
And within this time, Rhodey already had other ways to increase their lifespan and no longer needed to continue exploiting this BUG!
"Rhodey, aren't you going?"
Tony saw Rhodey walk back and couldn't help but ask curiously.
The others also looked at him.
"I don't need to."
Rhodey shook his head, without explaining anything.
But everyone seemed to understand, guessing that with Rhodey's terrifying strength and bizarre abilities, even another ability that could grant immortality didn't seem impossible.
"In that case, let's seal this cave first."
Tony suggested.
The others had no objections either.
