The change in the DC-EU had long attracted the attention of beings beyond the DC multiverse!
Anti-Monitor was one of them.
This time, it was not the Anti-Monitor who appeared as a villain in crossover plots of TV series like Green Arrow, Supergirl, or The Flash.
This was a higher dimension!
The true Anti-Monitor of the Sixth Dimension— Mobius!
He was the child of the goddess of creation of the DC multiverse, Perpetua!
Above the multiverse…
the ruler of the anti-matter realm that guards the multiverse from destruction!
But now, because the DC multiverse was protected by the Wall of Origin, the anti-matter realm of the Anti-Monitor had become useless.
The Anti-Monitor, greatly dissatisfied, urgently needed a power that could break through the Wall of Origin.
And now…
among the many DC universes, there truly existed a universe that had pierced through the Wall of Origin, a universe that had connected to another from the outside world!
"Cease your act of dividing universes!"
"Surrender your power!"
"I shall graciously grant you death!"
The multidimensional Anti-Monitor descended before Aron.
He wanted the DC-EU to merge with Marvel, to use it as a channel…
and pierce through the blockade of the Wall of Origin.
"How ridiculous."
"You say 'stop', I stop? Do I have no dignity at all?"
Aron countered the Anti-Monitor without hesitation.
The collection of six stones gave him the confidence to face a multidimensional being.
"You foolish frog at the bottom of a well!"
"Do you think this is all I have!"
Rejected, the Anti-Monitor, without another word, pulled out his ultimate trump card,
the Anti-Life Equation.
Seeing this, Aron didn't waste time talking.
He raised his hand and unleashed infinite power.
The two vast forces collided beyond the universe.
The shockwaves from their clash…
rewrote both universes in an instant!
...
DC-EU, Zeus.
Spider-Man, Peter Kent, was at work at the Daily Bugle.
He handed the editor-in-chief the photos of Spider-Man he had taken but was met with a storm of scolding.
"Spider-Man again! Spider-Man again! Can't you shoot something else!?"
"There's all kinds of interesting stuff out there right now, you know?"
"That's Hyperion!"
The editor-in-chief threw the Spider-Man photos back at Peter Kent.
"But I…"
Peter Kent lowered his head, thinking: I'm not familiar with Hyperion. How awkward.
Just as he was lost in thought, his phone rang.
He opened it and looked.
The message was from Commissioner Gordon.
Spider-Man, Penguin, and Green Goblin Osborn are wreaking havoc in Gotham City, please handle it quickly.
Peter Kent immediately replied.
Spider-Man accepted!
...
Marvel Universe.
Superman, Clark Parker, had just walked out of the Daily Bugle in New York.
Editor-in-chief JJJ had asked him to write an article to slander Superman.
"How am I supposed to slander myself?"
As Clark stood there, confused, a message came from Ultron.
"Brainiac is preparing to invade Earth!"
"Superman, we need your help immediately!"
Ultron was now the protector of the planet and had sent the message to every hero.
Green Arrow and Black Widow were ready for action.
The Winter Soldier, Bucky, now a woman, was speaking with Steve, Captain America.
They had been together since World War II.
...
In short,
all kinds of bizarre things were appearing across both universes.
Superman, Clark Parker, clearly remembered being adopted by a couple in New York—
Ben Parker and Aunt May!
They had raised him!
All those memories felt absolutely real to Superman.
No one noticed anything wrong with the world they lived in.
Everyone truly took it for granted.
Superman was supposed to belong to Marvel!
And Spider-Man was supposed to belong to DC!
Until… one man in the DC Universe discovered the anomaly!
"It seems our memories have been rewritten!"
"Something must have happened that defies what we know!"
Batman gathered everyone from the Justice League.
Standing before Spider-Man, Hyperion, Luke Cage, Quicksilver, and others,
he pointed out the problem.
"You people shouldn't be from our world!"
"How is that possible?"
Peter Kent was dumbfounded.
He grew up in Kansas!
His adoptive father's name was Jonathan Kent!
His adoptive mother's name was Martha!
All those memories were vividly real, how could he not be from this world!
"That's exactly the problem!"
"There must be some force affecting our cognition!"
Batman's face was grim.
That force was beyond his imagination.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Bruce, we've known each other for over ten years. Do you think I'm fake!?"
Hyperion slammed his fist on the table angrily.
"Yeah, we've all known each other so long and fought side by side countless times."
"Why are you the only one who noticed something's wrong?"
Quicksilver also expressed doubt toward Batman.
"Why?"
"Because I'm Batman."
...…
Beyond the universes...…
Each collision of energy between Aron's Six Gems and the multidimensional Anti-Monitor, had unimaginable effects on both universes.
A character who might have belonged to DC one second, could belong to Marvel the next.
Their memories!
Their gender!
Even their destinies!
All changed in the blink of an eye!
Every minute brought more changes!
And all of these alterations were just a bit of the energy spillover from the battle beyond the universes!
"Haha, this universe is too weak, and your power is clearly insufficient!"
The Anti-Monitor seemed to sense something.
He laughed loudly.
As the ultimate artifact of the Marvel Universe, the power of the Infinity Stones was directly tied to the strength of the universe they resided in!
And Earth-199999, as a derivative of the cinematic universe, its power…
Naturally could not compare to comic universes like Marvel 616.
Aron realized this too.
As the battle continued, he was gradually testing the limits of the Infinity Stones!
But the Anti-Monitor's power was still immeasurable!
"Alright, I'm done playing with you!"
"Bye-bye~"
Aron himself had no intention of fighting the Anti-Monitor to the end.
So with a flicker of thought, he pulled out an ordinary card, pre-inscribed with an exorcism ritual.
"Uaaa!"
It's over!
The exorcism card was out!
Whether it was Eternity, Infinity, Death, or Annihilation from the Marvel Universe…
or Destiny, the giant beast from the DC Universe…
the two cosmic heavyweights who had been watching the show, all of them panicked!
"Wait, wait, wait!"
"Don't mess around…"
"If you must, we'll help you fight…"
"Just put that little card away, please…"
No matter how great the being, every one of them looked terrified.
However.
before Aron could respond, everything around him suddenly froze.
Both the multidimensional Anti-Monitor and the gathered great ones from DC and Marvel, all were immobilized.
And then—
within that stillness, from a white light emerged a familiar face.
"Haha, I told you we'd meet again, didn't I?"
After Lucifer Morningstar appeared, he greeted Aron, then extended a finger, pointing toward the distant Anti-Monitor, and tapped lightly through the air.
Whoosh~~~
The Anti-Monitor didn't even have time to react.
His body began to crumble rapidly like shards of glass.
Until it completely vanished..
