This energy has been nourishing them since their inception.
It brought them powerful strength and also brought them Eternal life!
The Celestials never worry about lifespan.
Because they are all ageless and immortal!
Imagine this;
From the formation of Blue Star until now, how much vast life energy has that Celestial, who has been in gestation, absorbed?
It's not just human life!
Thanos's killings were never limited to humans.
Whether it's snakes, insects, rodents, or ants, they are all life, and they all have life energy.
The only difference is the quantity!
But the Celestial treats everyone equally; it absorbs all of it.
It doesn't care if you're a human or an insect.
It wants it all!
Therefore;
Even if you only manage to scrape off a tiny bit of life energy from this gestating Celestial, it would probably be enough to make every single Avenger immortal for hundreds of millions of years, and then some!
"Rhodey, you're simply a genius!"
Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but say excitedly.
Rhodey smiled, his gaze turning to Gwen and the other two.
He didn't say this for Tony and the others.
To put it bluntly, the others were just guinea pigs Rhodey sent out.
Mainly because he himself wasn't sure about this matter.
What if there were problems?
So;
Others needed to try it first, and only after it was confirmed to be problem-free would Rhodey let Gwen and the other two absorb it.
As for himself, he didn't need to worry about the lifespan issue.
His Energy Absorption ability allowed him to live Eternally simply by maintaining the energy within his body.
This is actually a replica of the Celestials.
However, Rhodey doesn't absorb pure life energy, but rather all forms of energy.
But he cannot plunder directly and brutally like the Celestials.
Others or objects need to actively provide it to him.
And the form of this provision is to attack him!
Actually, Gwen can also do this, but Daisy and Wanda cannot, so the ones who truly need it are Daisy and Wanda.
Wanda is fine; she is the Scarlet Witch, and if there's truly no other way, she can still use the power of dark magic, but she needs to solve the problem of Chthon.
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!
But Daisy truly has no other way.
If this proves to be unfeasible, then Rhodey will have to find other methods later.
They can't just live for a very, very long time while Daisy slowly ages, can they?
That would be too unfair to her!
"Then let's try it!"
Rhodey said.
Upon hearing this;
Mandarin was the first to get excited.
Because this meant that his centuries-long yearning was finally about to succeed!
He would soon be able to see his living beloved!
Seeing Mandarin so excited, many people suddenly remembered that they hadn't asked Mandarin who the person he wanted to resurrect was.
So;
The Avengers asked curiously.
"It's my beloved!"
Mandarin did not hide it.
Anyway, they would know when he resurrected her later.
Beloved?
Upon hearing this, the Avengers' gazes towards Mandarin changed slightly.
They didn't expect him to be such a devoted man!
Centuries had passed, yet he still hadn't changed his mind and still deeply loved his beloved.
Such a devoted man, even if he was bad, shouldn't be too bad, right?
Everyone thought to themselves.
However;
The Daredevil's problem still needed to be solved.
Mandarin also stated that he could release his control over the Daredevil.
He would even return Captain's shield.
The others didn't care much about this, but Steve was very excited.
He had thought he would lose his beloved shield forever!
He never expected to get it back!
Happy!!!
...
Deep in a certain wasteland.
Inside a cave.
Everyone followed Mandarin here.
Not only Rhodey and the Avengers came, but even the Eternal followed along.
No choice;
They couldn't leave Blue Star for now.
And Tony and the others didn't trust these guys.
So they brought them along.
Anyway, with Rhodey watching, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble!
"This is the place."
Mandarin, walking in front, said, and with a blast of blue Ten Rings energy from his hand, he instantly blasted open a stone wall in front of them!
Behind the stone wall was a dazzling red light.
Looking around, it was a large expanse of red crystals.
And in the largest red crystal in the middle, a woman, seemingly sealed, was clearly inside!
"That's my wife's body. I almost succeeded last time, but I failed at the last step!"
Mandarin looked at the woman in the crystal with tender eyes, then turned his gaze coldly to the Eternal, it was these guys who made him wait for several more centuries!
The Eternal were a little embarrassed.
However, they didn't say anything at this moment, after all, their current situation wasn't very good either.
It was somewhat like being escorted prisoners.
No freedom!
"Let's begin, go revive her."
Rhodey said to Mandarin.
Hearing this, Mandarin nodded gratefully to him, then walked forward.
The others followed behind, watching Mandarin's arrangements from a distance.
