Chapter 2265: Qiuqiu (2)
The energy in the universe was of a single origin at its core; that much was true. But that did not mean any kind of energy could be absorbed.
Especially power that already belonged to another lifeform; aside from a handful of special methods and abilities, it could not be converted into absorbable energy. It was like blood types, only far more complex—different blood types together would cause rejection reactions.
Of course, the wonder of the universe lay in the fact that many theories, many fundamentals, and many things that people took for granted as correct could dramatically change, or there would be individual cases that defied the norm.
Some lifeforms could directly absorb energy without any conversion process whatsoever.
To put it another way: for example, when Yellow Ball ate the corpse of a great expert, that was also a form of energy absorption, but it had to digest the other's flesh and blood to extract nutrients and then convert them into its own energy. It was a process of "assimilation."
But Qiuqiu was different. It absorbed energy directly, taking the other's energy into its own body and making it its own right away.
That was perhaps where its strangeness and power lay.
But!
Qiuqiu had that ability; Ye Zhongming did not!
