When children would look up at the sky and shout, "Is that a plane? Is that a bird? Is that Superman!"
This is him, when he left...
"Although what happened to you is surprising, in our eyes, you will always be Diana, our Wonder Woman."
Clark then let go of his hand. He felt that the test could be finished after reaching this point. With Batman missing, no matter how much preparation they made, without that person's personal confirmation, it would be basically in vain. His detective mentality would force him to reconfirm the things that the League had already confirmed. But Clark knew that this approach would undoubtedly hurt Wonder Woman. After all, nothing could be more overwhelming than suddenly discovering that you are related to the God of Apokolips...
"My father once said to me: You are a flag held high by faith, flying proudly for the most noble ideals. You have become the moral model they yearn for. They will definitely chase you, they will definitely wrestle, fail, fight...even despair. But in the end, they will meet you again in the sun. Your loneliness is by no means eternal. Love is in the heart of the lover, not in the heart of the loved one. All pure people, strong and healthy people, everything is pure. Love makes some birds show their most beautiful colors and makes honest hearts show the noblest elements. The divine light will burn the dross to ashes, leaving only the red heart, iron courage and wise eyes, unmoved, and reborn in Nirvana."
Clark also knew that Diana was afraid that she might fall under the invasion of darkness, and what he had to do was to tell her not to worry. Even though the power of the Lord of Apokolips brought her an unimaginable improvement, he also had the power to subvert the entire multiverse and reshape it back to its original state between the pauses of his lover's two heartbeats.
What is your full strength?
Even he himself...didn't know.
Therefore, before he engages in physical combat with his opponent, he will appeal to their emotions and reason...
"But what I really care about is not this. Although these powers have caused some changes in my appearance, I can still control it. I just... can't understand why it happened at this time? Clearly, thousands of years have passed before this."
Diana stared at the Truth Lasso in her hand, which had been corrupted into another form. From the silver-white reflection of the metal ground, she could clearly see that she seemed to have completely fallen into darkness, like the Queen of Apocalypse.
"Because the origin chose you, the great darkness needs a black swan to fulfill this duty."
Suddenly, Cerberus, who was standing aside and watching the show, spoke up. Because she acted harmless, the attention of all the heroes present was almost all on Wonder Woman, who had "awakened" her bloodline power, and they did not take her seriously.
"But why does it have to be me? If I remember correctly, Darkseid should have many offspring."
Hearing this, Diana, who looked exactly like Lady Death, turned around and looked at Cerberus who was standing elegantly over there.
"That's because the essence of the multiverse is not justice or evil. What it really needs is balance. Extreme light and extreme darkness are not conducive to maintaining this balance. That's why you became the qualified one."
After hearing Cerberus' words, Diana hesitated for a while, but she still couldn't speak. But Clark, who was standing by, had understood what Cerberus meant. That is, the Source needs someone who has a sense of justice and will not succumb to darkness to become the so-called qualified person. She needs to not lean to either side of the scale. And Diana is undoubtedly the best candidate who will not lean to either side...
"I personally suggest that you better get more familiar with your own power, because it grows very quickly. If you can't control it, it will not be a good thing for the planet you live on and the entire universe."
What bad intentions could Cerberus have? Anyway, Chaos Ripper is a terrible thing, even if it is a replica, it will continue to replicate itself...
(PS: The biggest cheat on the protagonist is actually the Chaos Ripper. Naya did something bad, causing this thing to split infinitely and replicate itself.)
(PS2: Then he stretched out a hand, put it in the bowl and started waiting for the tickets...)
Chapter 95 The Original Sin is about to begin
If you were to ask which biological weapons have the greatest potential for war in the Marvel Universe, then zombie heroes and annihilation insects would definitely be on the list.
Those who have read comics will understand the horror of zombie heroes, and there is no need to explain it in detail. However, the Annihilates will seem very unfamiliar to those who are not familiar with comics. Because the Annihilates in the comics are not actually active. Before the Annihilation War in 2006, the Annihilates were not even a first-line villain in the Fantastic Four. However, from the name of the Annihilates in the comics, "Annihilus", it can be seen that this villain will definitely shine in future comics. Its name has already determined everything...
Because 'Annihilus' is actually a made-up word, it is a variant of Nihilist. And Mr. Fantastic in the comics calls the annihilators 'Annihilates'. This is an existing word, it is the third person singular of 'Annihilate'. It is mainly used to describe the result of something, meaning to completely defeat or annihilate.
Its name is just like Thanos, the real name of Thanos. This involves a little common sense that is not well known. In American comics, any character with a made-up word name tends to go to two extremes. Either no one cares about it for decades, and even the screenwriter forgets the existence of this character. Or it shines in the comics, and even has more roles and strength than many first-line characters. They are either the sewer of the version, or the ceiling of the new issue...
As a villain that only appeared in 1968, Annihilus is not as strong as imagined. Because the coming of Galactus happened in 1966, the time when Annihilus was created is very awkward.
Debates have existed since ancient times, from the debate over who was better at fighting, Napoleon or Alexander, to whether Thanos could defeat Darkseid. American comic readers of that era were actually easily satisfied. They just wanted to see stronger things emerge and fight with the heroes, and that was enough...
As a result, the timing of the Annihilus's appearance was even more unfortunate. This also led to it being hidden for a time, and it was not until 40, nearly 2006 years later, that it had its true turnaround. From an insignificant character, it quickly upgraded to a presence that even Thanos in his personal magazine would tremble at.
Of course, this may also be related to Jim Stalin's habit of adding his own personal touches to unpopular characters...
But what’s interesting is that although Annihilus appeared in the annual issue of the Fantastic Four, the comics in which he played the most roles were the Guardians of the Galaxy and Thanos’ personal issues.
From this point of view, Jim Stalin's behavior of adding personal goods to the Annihilator seems to have been confirmed...
With this premise in mind, it shouldn't be too difficult to understand what bad things Selina is going to do in the 616 universe. Her purpose is actually very simple. In addition to the Annihilation King in the negative ring of the 616 universe, she is also going to take action against the zombie heroes that may exist in the neighboring 1610 universe. After all, the zombie heroes first appeared in the Ultimate Fantastic Four issue, and the later All-New Alien was directly created using the Ultimate Universe as a prototype. So if we really want to talk about who is stronger, she thinks the mourners in the 1610 universe are more reliable.
"Something's wrong with the multiverse?"
Strange finally realized what Selina was saying, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Although he was the Sorcerer Supreme, as the uninvited Outer Realm God said, he was the worst Sorcerer Supreme and had never fulfilled his duties as the Guardian of Reality...
"I am amazed at your short-sightedness and stupidity. All conceptualized existences in this multiverse are wailing in pain, constantly resisting the day when everything will die, which is getting closer and closer. As the Sorcerer Supreme, you didn't even notice this well-known fact. Even if Tony Stark did it, he wouldn't mess things up so badly."
Seeing that Stephen was still confused, Selina was almost certain that unless a planet fell and hit him on the head, he would not be able to react, and the universe outside would be smashed to pieces. However, in order to ensure that her plan could proceed smoothly, she thought she still had to tell him some secrets of the multiverse that might not be used at present.
"Celebrate, your lives were given to you by Reed Richards."
As Serena spoke, she waved the silver spoon in her hand and projected a grand picture from outside the multiverse in front of everyone. As for the ordinary people in the staff cafeteria, they had already run away when the God of Thunder appeared...
"The first firmament, the birthplace of the universe, the ruler of the ambitious and the rebellious. The second universe, the incarnation of the first multiverse, the origin of the Omega force. The third universe, the successor, the creator of the first messenger of life. The fourth universe, the pilgrim, the queen of the place that cannot and should not exist. The fifth universe, the creator of magic, the weaver of the illusion of exchange. The sixth universe, the inventor of science, the builder of all places gathered here. The seventh universe, infinity and eternity, a new form of the multiverse that is two-in-one."
Frank Castle, who was standing behind Strange as a background, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he watched the somewhat confusing scene. He was very interested in this sudden melon. He liked to watch Stephen, the birdman, get madly humiliated because of his arrogance. But this time, he didn't expect the other party's retribution to come so quickly...
"This is the world you live in now. It has been through several states in the past and present. Unfortunately, the eternity you are familiar with will soon enter the next round of reality renewal in this death of all things."
Selena didn't say anything more, she just waved the silver spoon in her hand again and dispersed the grand plan again.
Then she stood up from the chair.
The anthropomorphic form that concealed the true face also disappeared...
(PS: I sneakily stretched out my tail and placed it in the bowl in an attempt to trap Piao Piao.)
Chapter 96: About the fact that Nayako was secretly doing things
"Oh my god..."
Dark grey skin, long silvery white hair.
Selina, with her twin horns on her head, had just taken off her humble disguise and revealed her true identity as the Lord of Darkness, which frightened Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, half to death.
His hands twitched up and down as if out of control.
Then, several protective spells of different colors exploded in front of Strange. However, the powerful magic against hell and evil had no effect on the extra-dimensional demon in front of him, whose oppression was even more terrifying than Mephisto.
The Supreme Sorcerer was shocked by the abnormal phenomena happening in front of him. For a moment, he even thought he was sleeping! The outrageous scene was just like a nightmare imprisoned by the Lord of Fear. He couldn't believe what he saw. Facing the terrible magic energy that was theoretically enough to tear the border of hell, this unknown god of the outer domain not only did not resist, but his expression was still that lazy look, showing no interest in anything. And the few spells he hastily released disappeared the moment they touched her body! Only a little aftermath of blowing the napkin on the table was left, like a breeze blowing...
"Stephen Strange! You are so brave!"
But before he could say anything else, the God of Thunder holding Mjolnir could no longer stand. Thor's eyes widened in anger, and he swung the hammer in his hand in a perfect arc under the whistle of the Punisher, and hit the Supreme Sorcerer on the chin. As the door of the employee cafeteria shattered, Strange flew backwards and crashed into the convenience store across the street.
"Wait! Wait! Thor! Let's talk nicely!"
This scene scared Peter Parker, who was secretly putting on his battle suit and getting ready. Although Doctor Octopus had built a solid business empire for the Parker family during the time he controlled his body, Peter Parker, who had no knowledge of human resources and corporate management and did not have much research and development capabilities, was now on the road of living off Otto's old capital. However, the rule that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, he could not abandon Parker Industries, as the employees here still relied on him for their livelihood.
So when Spider-Man saw Thor and Strange fighting, he suddenly had a bad omen. You know, Parker Industries has an employee cafeteria downstairs. If these two really fight, they will definitely encounter his company building!
"No, no, no, let's go to the side and watch them fight."
Seeing that Spider-Man was really going to intervene, Frank pulled Peter aside with a sly smile, ignoring Anna Maria who was almost petrified not far away. To be honest, Spider-Man's girlfriend, who was a primary school student with dwarfism, still had no idea what was going on. Not only did she see the gods and the Avengers today, but Thor also swung his hammer and beat up Doctor Strange, who was supposed to be his teammate...
"Yes, that's it. Give him two hammers to wake him up."
But Selena would not miss such a good opportunity. She conjured up a bucket of popcorn for herself on the spot and directly encouraged the God of Thunder with a stern face.
"Uh... ah... damn! Are you serious?"
Strange, who finally pieced his head together, looked at Thor, who was spinning his hammer and staring at him, in disbelief. Ever since the Eye Demon took control of his body, he had a habit of leaving time for himself. Not only to save his life, but also to ensure his smooth resurrection after death. But what he didn't expect was that Thor's hammer just now directly killed him!
"Do you realize that your stupid behavior almost sentenced our entire reality to death?"
Thor, who had come all the way from New Asgard without even a break, even had thunder in his eyes. After the battle with Gorr the God-Slayer, he had been collecting legends and records about the goddess who suddenly appeared that day. Not only him, but even his father Odin was shocked by this unknown outsider god. However, the collection work did not last long before it was completely declared over. Because the Observer and the gods from other multiverses intervened forcefully and successfully stopped their "stupid" behavior.
However, after the collection work was completed, his father Odin and mother Frigga discovered a strange ancient book with the image of the Outer God inscribed in the legends of the Aesir and the Vanir...
'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I am the One, I am the All. I am the Metaphysical, I am the Physical. I see through many eyes, I create with many hands. What kind of God I am depends on your point of view. I can be any god in the world, or any god in the world is my incarnation. It is my thought, my will, and the extension of my influence.'
That was an immortal book left by the Outer God named Nyarlathotep before the birth of the multiverse, recording the existence of the Outer God. It records an indescribable group called the Multihorned Ones, and a supreme being that gathers the power of all the Multihorned Ones and transcends all things. The reason why Asgard can avoid Ragnarok is that it relies on saying the name of the supreme being before the disaster comes, and successfully rewriting all reality. This method of eliminating disasters with the help of external forces has been used by the Asgardians for tens of millions of years, until now...
So when they realized that the supreme being was the god from outside the realm, everyone in Asgard couldn't believe that their world was actually being watched by the supreme being!
This is also why Thor rushed here from New Asgard so anxiously.
The gods have come! Odin also said that he suddenly couldn't see the future. With the sudden death of the observer, even Thor realized the seriousness of the problem.
Everything indicates that the story of the Asgardians is about to come to its end...
(PS: When Nayako ran out to play, she tricked the protagonist by the way! She secretly wrote a dark Bible for her, and then stuffed it into the time period before the birth of the multiverse.)
(PS2: Then he stretched out a hand, put it in the bowl and started waiting for the tickets...)
Chapter 97 Zombie Ants in Action
Meanwhile, somewhere in the unknown multiverse...
"Fresh human flesh!"
An ear-piercing scream pierced the sky, and countless rotten figures appeared one after another in the huge trap prepared by the Zombie Ant-Man as the space cracks opened up.
“Hungry… so hungry!”
The zombie heroes, wearing the same purple tights as the Devourer, passed through the huge teleportation machine that had been successfully repaired. They screamed in the air and fell into the clone team with slightly dull eyes below.
"Uh... this thing seems to smell a little weird."
There was no resistance or shouting of fear, which stunned the zombies who had just landed. Then, a certain irritating fragrance entered their noses and went straight to their brains. This strange smell, like industrial fragrance, made the zombie Wolverine, whose steel claws were halfway out, stop his movements forcibly, somewhat confused.
"Hello, little bugs from another universe..."
Just when the zombies were still wondering why they did not appear on the new earth full of fresh flesh and blood, a purple figure slowly walked out of the shadows. The Mad Titan named Thanos looked at the group of hideous zombies with sarcasm and laughed at them with disdain. He slowly raised his right hand, and six gems of different colors sparkled in the dark night.
"This is impossible! Why would Thanos from the parallel world be waiting for us here?"
"Damn it, this guy has six Infinity Stones!"
"Hulk has already beaten him to death!"
"Oh no! This is a trap! Damn Hank Pym, this is definitely a trap!"
The moment they saw the figure clearly, the zombies were immediately in a state of panic. The zombies present were not fools. The scene of being blocked by the mad Titan would only appear in their nightmares. Who is Thanos? The most dangerous emperor in the universe, the slayer of Titan, a god in his own right. Which of his army and subordinates was not an enemy of the zombies? In order to defeat him who came to compete for the Infinity Stones, the Avengers assembled an army with various superheroes, and only after paying an extremely painful price did they barely win.
So this is why, after they obtained the power of the Devourer and successfully broke out of the earth, the first thing they did when they came to the universe was to infect this former powerful enemy and make him their companion.
Thanos without the Infinity Stones was nothing to fear for them who possessed cosmic energy. In less than a single encounter, they successfully beat the mad Titan to the point where he could not take care of himself.
But now, the nightmare is back...
"Go back quickly! Make those stupid birds turn back! Don't let them squeeze in again! Make way quickly! Let us go back!"
Pyro, one of the Fantastic Four, and the Thing were frantically pushing the zombie heroes that kept pouring in from behind them, but Professor X was like an idiot, just standing there straight, with no intention of responding to them at all.
"I haven't smelled this smell for a long time. I believe you are also very familiar with it, because this feeling represents fear..."
Thanos, who had blocked the door with the zombie heroes, grinned, and the gem representing his soul shone brightly at this moment.
