Ch: 580-590
Chapter 580: Galan's Public Humiliation
"Ah!? So many uncles and aunties, and even Entropy, Eternity, Hatred…"
Galan's pupils and mind vibrated violently, as if she had witnessed the World collapse with her own eyes.
She was a Universe Entity, not an Abstract Entity.
She only vaguely understood what these uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters had done at this moment.
She just thought they had all sacrificed themselves voluntarily.
Galan's face was filled with shock.
Suddenly, she felt the immense resolve of her elders and peers to save the Universe.
Her eyes, amidst the shock, slowly began to change.
"Leon… Leon, I, should I do something too?"
Galan turned her head to ask Leon, seemingly hesitant.
But Leon had already seen a certain kind of resolve in the girl's eyes, whether it was brave or reckless.
She was clearly inspired by Eternity's 'heroic act'.
A young heart had already ignited, about to burn herself into a torch.
Leon couldn't help but fall silent.
"Do you think you also need to make a sacrifice?"
"Mm!" Galan puffed out her small face and raised her fist seriously.
"My elders, and my brothers and sisters, are all so brave, of course I have to work hard too!"
"So you also want to start sacrificing by chanting short and long verses? They are all m-bodies, are you an m-body here?" Leon's face was stern, as if he was enduring something.
Galan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head vigorously: "I'm not an m-body, but that doesn't matter, I also want to save the World!"
Leon glanced at Galan on his shoulder, trying to hold back his laughter as he asked again.
"How are you going to save it, Galan? Are you planning to help me devour the excess life energy?"
"I… uh…" The passion on Galan's face froze.
Leon's words were like shaking her shoulders and asking her.
Girl, you are one of the Universe's destruction mechanisms!
You actually want to save the World, are you still clear-headed?
Galan finally remembered her identity as the daughter of Galactus in a trance.
Her function in this Universe was actually destruction.
"I…" Galan froze, her eyes flickering with confusion.
She was stunned for a long time, then suddenly remembered again: "I, oh right, I can go find my father, he must also want to save the Universe!"
Leon finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Well, Galan even wanted Galactus to jump into the Water.
"What are you laughing at!" Galan's face turned red with shame and annoyance, "You also think I'm useless, don't you?"
She felt so useless now.
Not only her, but her unreliable father was also useless; besides eating, he couldn't help with anything.
Everyone else was burning themselves, igniting hope.
Their father and daughter just ate and ate here…
"No… I'm laughing because, haha." Leon was amused.
"I'm laughing because you're too cute, Galan."
Galan's cheeks, flushed with shame and annoyance, grew a few degrees warmer: "Wh-what cute, cute is useless in the face of the apocalypse!"
"No, I mean you're a little adorably DiDi."
Leon pushed Galan with his finger.
Galan screamed loudly and flew back several million kilometers.
This time she was even more annoyed, clenching her small fists, even the skin exposed on her arms and chest was reddening.
But Leon said again: "You thought Eternity and the others sacrificed themselves, but that's a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Galan's expression froze.
"They are Abstract Entities; they just changed from an entity back to an invisible and unknowable conceptual state."
Leon explained, "The reason for doing this is to bring specific conceptual rules to the God Realm Dimension."
Eternity and the others were not dead; the previous jump into the Water was not a sacrifice.
Abstract Entities refer to the reification of concepts.
The reason they are the supreme gods of the Universe.
It is because they existed first, and then the corresponding conceptual rules appeared in the Universe.
As long as they wish, they can bring their own concepts anywhere.
It seemed that those dozens of Abstract Entities just now, chanting short and long verses, jumped down with a splash, both tragic and passionate.
But in reality, they were all showing off.
They just turned into a conceptual state.
Leon himself was very familiar with this kind of thing.
However, after Galan heard it, she completely fell into a daze.
She looked at Leon incredulously, a sense of absurdity spreading in her heart, and the public humiliation caused by her lack of experience began to envelop her.
"Look back," Leon said at this moment.
Galan turned her head DiDi-ly.
In the starry sky behind her.
Two or three dozen illusory Shadows faced her, smiling and waving their arms.
Those were all her 'sacrificed' elders and siblings from just now.
Galan looked at those family members, her small face gradually scrunched up, and her complexion was so red it looked like Water was about to drip from it.
"I, I… Ah ah ah ah! I hate you, Leon!"
Galan covered her face, opened a spatial passage, and plunged into it.
Laughter echoed in the starry sky; her unscrupulous family members were all laughing at her.
Leon also smiled and shook his head.
Galan was still in the God Realm Dimension, but she had returned to her own small room, covering her head, rolling and screaming.
Eternity and these old men and women, they even watched the fun of their juniors, they were truly wicked.
Leon watched the figures of Eternity, Infinity, and these Abstract Entities disappear again.
He knew that for a long time afterward, they would reside here.
And as new Universes continued to merge into the God Realm Dimension.
Eternity and their m-bodies would also continuously merge, becoming stronger and stronger.
Eventually, it might become a group of multiversal-level Abstract Entity clones gathered within the God Realm Dimension.
However, Leon not only did not feel nervous, but instead knew that he had gained a great advantage.
"Eternity, you really are big-hearted," Leon said with some emotion.
He was the Dimension Lord, the Master of the God Realm Dimension.
Eternity and the others transformed into conceptual states here, merging into the Dimension.
They actually became part of the God Realm Dimension.
They voluntarily ran into Leon's control.
Now Leon could easily comprehend the conceptual rules represented by Eternity and the others.
And he also held their life and Death in his hands.
This cannot be said to be Eternity's trust in Leon, reaching a level where they could entrust their lives and Death.
It can only be said that they truly didn't care much about the m-bodies on the movie Universeside.
Leon thanked the Universe void beside him.
Then he accelerated the God Realm Dimension's speed of devouring the Mutant Universe.
After the concepts of Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Annihilation joined.
The God Realm Dimension was completely perfected.
And with Galan here, it also completed a cyclical mechanism for destroying excess matter in the Dimension.
As for the devotion of other Abstract Concepts, it could only be said to be icing on the cake.
Leon could sense that the God Realm Dimension had already gained the opportunity to transform into a real Universe.
Every spatial region of the Dimension was sending him information about a lack of energy.
As long as the energy was replenished, the God Realm Dimension could immediately begin its transformation.
Chapter 581 God-Kingdom Universe
"Energy is needed for transformation, isn't this the perfect time?"
Lyon turned around, accelerating the God Realm Dimension's Devour of the Mutant Universe.
The galaxies that were swallowed into the God Realm Dimension originally needed several months for slow assimilation.
But now, with the addition of dozens of Abstract Entities,
The environment within the God Realm Dimension completely became identical to the real Universe.
So, the several months of assimilation time were no longer needed.
The God Realm Dimension only needed to swallow those star systems from the Mutant Universe, and expansion would naturally begin.
Under Lyon's active control,
The vast Mutant Universe was completely swallowed in just a few hours.
Every star system within it was transferred to the interior of the God Realm Dimension.
During this process, the Mutant Universe
Its volume shrunk at a visible rate.
Finally, it completely disappeared.
And the God Realm Dimension, having swallowed all the "wealth" of the Mutant Universe, began to expand with a rumbling sound.
Don't be fooled by the limited resources of a single Universe in the Marvel movie World.
But it actually contains countless inner Dimensions.
Among them, the Quantum Realm is unimaginably vast.
Now, the entire Mutant Universe has become part of the God Realm Dimension.
This caused every star system within the Dimension to begin vibrating violently.
Amidst the vibrations, trillions of star systems simultaneously began to expand.
Looking out, the number of stars in every spiral galaxy was increasing.
The distance between galaxies was also rapidly widening.
From the outside,
The God Realm Dimension, which already had a diameter far exceeding ten trillion light-years, expanded to an even more exaggerated degree.
Outside the God Realm Dimension,
In the seven Dimensions awaiting Devour, seven figures emerged.
Mephisto, Dormammu, and the seven Dimensional Demon Gods looked at the expanding God Realm Dimension, astonished.
"Master's Dimension is about to transform into a true Universe, it's incredible," Satanishexclaimed.
"Yes." Dormammu's flame-like eyes were filled with excitement.
If it were before, facing this scene, he would definitely be drooling with envy and immediately formulate a plan to seize the God Realm Dimension.
But after being controlled by Lyon,
Dormammu looked at the scene, his heart filled only with excitement and anticipation.
"I wonder when Master will be able to completely swallow my Dark Dimension. Just thinking that I can help Master makes it all worthwhile, even if I die."
Dormammu let out an exclamation completely contrary to his past image.
And the other six Dimension Lords, who were rotten to the core, also nodded in agreement.
Expressing their hope that Master Lyon could quickly swallow their Dimensions.
However, considering the need to maintain stability before the complete destruction of the Multiverse,
Their Dimensions were destined to be left for last by Lyon.
Within the God Realm Dimension,
As the last bit of material energy from the Mutant Universe was assimilated,
The transformation of the entire God Realm Dimension also came to an end.
Under Lyon's control,
The rules within the Dimension were becoming perfect and unified, a large number of stars were ignited as hydrogen elements converged, and the Dimension's barrier transformed into a real Universe.
The rumbling vibrations lasted for several days.
During this process, Lyon turned into a shining golden figure.
With his fists,
He hammered the Dimension repeatedly,
Helping the God Realm Dimension accelerate its transformation.
And Eternity and other great gods watched in amazement.
They said, as expected of Superman from DC, his ability to modify rules with his physical body is comparable to Sentinel from the neighboring (comic Universe).
Boom!
As Lyon's last punch gently landed,
The God Realm Dimension completed its transformation, becoming a Universe.
It became larger, its rules completely perfected, and it possessed its own internal and external circulation system.
Even if Lyon no longer managed it in the future,
It would still have a long lifespan.
After its annihilation one day in the future, it would also transform into a singularity, and be re-created in a big bang.
Buzz buzz buzz ~
At this moment, the God-Kingdom Universe suddenly trembled slightly, and actually began to move.
Lyon was stunned.
He activated his super vision and looked beyond the God-Kingdom Universe.
"This is the Realm of Split's expulsion of you, this newborn Universe." Suddenly, Eternity, Infinity, and the four gods appeared beside Lyon.
Eternity reminded him, "The Realm of Split only contains countless Dimensions, not complete Universes."
"Normally, complete Universes, apart from those in the Multiverse group, only exist in the Outer Dimensions."
"If you don't stop it, the Realm of Split will expel your Universe into the Outer Dimensions."
"There are guys like Setorak and the Eye Demon there, but you don't need to fear them now."
The entire Multiverse is like an egg with many layers.
From inside to out, in order:
Real Universe Group → Outer Dimensions → Realm of Split → …
The God-Kingdom Universe being expelled into the Outer Dimensions actually brought it closer to the various real Universes.
However, in that case, not to mention other Dimensional Demon Gods, at least the Eye Demon would definitely target the God-Kingdom Universe.
Even if Lyon's current strength was not much inferior to this Eye Demon in the movie Universe,
But as long as he was targeted by that guy, just its subordinates, those big-eyed octopuses, could cause some trouble.
After all, that was Cthulhu-series mental pollution.
Lyon could withstand it, but the ordinary creatures in the God-Kingdom Universe couldn't.
Lyon thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay in the Realm of Split. The environment here is safer, and it's more convenient to send my subordinate mages to help."
"Besides, what I told Black Strange about dominating the Realm of Split hasn't been realized yet."
After speaking, Lyon ignored the curiosity of Eternity and the others about dominating the Realm of Split.
Golden light surged from his body, seemingly endlessly spreading to every corner of the Universe.
Those lights covered the entire Universe like a Bio-field.
Under an invisible force,
The slowly moving God-Kingdom Universe thus stopped.
Even after the golden light on Lyon's body extinguished,
It no longer moved.
It only slowly rotated in place,
Swallowing the scattered energy around it.
At the same time, it slowly swallowed the seven Dimensions next to it.
"Very good, very good, Superman, truly good." Eternity and the other gods commented.
After the golden light on Lyon's body extinguished, he silently watched Eternity and the others.
He was waiting for these guys to return to their conceptual state.
Then he would go back to the TVA and assign tasks to Black Strange and his comrades.
However, this time the Abstract Entities did not disappear.
Instead, they smiled and looked at Lyon: "Lyon, the core of this Dimension, no, this Universe, seems to be enveloped by a space. We can't enter without forcing our way in. Is that your secret Base?"
The Abstract Entities had no ill intentions, they were just purely curious.
To be honest, their coming to Lyon for help was also out of curiosity.
Otherwise, where they should really be going was Doctor Doom's Battleworld.
However… they had so many m-bodies, it's possible there were indeed some in Battleworld.
"Secret Base? I guess so, that's my God-Kingdom, a sealed space, something from another system."
Lyon said, "Sorry, I can't let you in now. It's quite crucial for my future cultivation."
Chapter 582: Dividing Into Two Groups
After the God Realm Dimension successfully transformed into a Universe, Leon let the abstract concepts find their own places to stay, then returned to the TVA.
Another week passed like this.
During this week, Leon constantly monitored the star systems that had integrated into the God-Kingdom Universe.
Jarvis and Black Strange also helped with variable calculations.
Only after confirming that the environment of the God-Kingdom Universe was safe enough did Leon truly begin his plan to save the Multiverse.
"Excellent, the Mutant Universe experiment was successful. Now, all we need to do is continuously devour a large number of Earths."
In the TVA's command center, Leon finalized the plan.
He stood at the main position, facing all the current employees of the TVA.
There were… well, only over six hundred people.
And this was largely due to the high number of Spider-Men.
There weren't many sorcerers from Kamar-Taj to begin with, so Leon could bring even fewer to the TVA for part-time work.
The combined forces of both sides barely managed to maintain the TVA's work of monitoring the Multiverse.
But they could only manage monitoring.
To send them out for action, they simply lacked sufficient manpower.
So, after Leon announced the start of the operation, a Spider-Man immediately raised his hand: "Superman Boss, how many is a large number of Earths?"
"If it's six hundred, we can each be responsible for one. If it's six thousand, we can each handle ten, no problem."
"But the situation we've seen while monitoring the Multiverse this week…"
"The number of Earths here should be infinite, right?"
That Spider-Man had a row of sharp spikes on his head; he was Punk Spider-Man.
He looked around, weakly gesturing with his finger.
"Surely… the six hundred of us aren't going to solve an infinite number of Earths… Wait, Boss, why are you nodding? Are you serious?"
Leon, with his arms crossed, smiled and nodded from the main position.
"That's right, we're splitting into two groups!"
Leon held up two fingers.
"I'll be one group, going to deal with the Earths that are currently experiencing World collisions."
"All of you will be the other group, going to deal with the Earths that haven't yet experienced collisions and are still in a peaceful period."
"Jarvis and Strange will be responsible for leading you to complete the mission."
Leon glanced at Jarvis.
Jarvis immediately manipulated the projection equipment, displaying holographic images of many Earths.
"Gentlemen and Ladies, and Sorcerers, our mission is to go to various Earths to give notice."
"We, or rather, Young Master Leon, can forcibly migrate every Earth."
"But if the Superheroes on Earth treat us as villains endangering the Earth, they will come up with all sorts of ways to resist."
"Everyone has already learned many stories of different Earths over the past week."
"You should know that as long as Superheroes want to, they can always find unexpected ways to turn the tables."
"So, what we need to do is use the TVA's time-travel function to go to those Earths that haven't yet experienced collisions."
"To tell them that our Multiverse is facing an irreversible crisis, and they need to cooperate with our actions."
"At the same time, it's also to prevent those Earths from erupting into more conflicts due to a lack of security after integrating into the God-Kingdom Universe."
"I believe that as long as we make good use of time travel, even with fewer people, we can notify every Universe."
Jarvis paused slightly here.
And the Little Spiders and sorcerers, hearing that six hundred people would truly be responsible for an infinite number of Universes, began to gasp in unison, their heads almost tilting back onto their spines.
Jarvis added: "Of course, during the process of devouring various Earths, we will continuously recruit new personnel."
"The more Universes we save, the more Superheroes will join our work, and the easier our task will become."
At this, the Little Spiders breathed a sigh of relief.
"I understand!" A chubby, Asian sorcerer named Ned clapped his hands.
"The more Worlds we save, the more Superhero helpers we recruit, the fewer our tasks become, and the fewer Worlds we need to continue saving!"
The Indian Spider-Man next to him gave a thumbs up: "So that's it, buddy, you said it great: the more Worlds saved, the fewer Worlds saved!"
The other Spider-Men were stunned for a moment, chewed on this conclusion, and then also gathered around Ned, giving thumbs up.
Dozens of thumbs surrounded the somewhat embarrassed chubby boy for a moment.
Next to Leon, Black Strange and Jarvis exchanged glances, both beginning to doubt whether the mission still had a chance of success.
At this moment, Jarvis activated a projection.
A holographic projection of Deadpool wearing the Infinity Gauntlet appeared.
He loudly declared: "I, am, Deadpool!"
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, all the Spider-Men instantly returned to their original positions, no one bothering Ned anymore.
"Gentlemen and Ladies." Jarvis said with a smile, gently to the awestruck Little Spiders.
"Our first destination is Mr. Strange's Earth."
"This time it's a group action, and also your first practical exercise."
"I will send images, videos, and textual data of Universe collisions to your tablets."
"Please show the same determination you had when fighting Kingpin in New York, because this time, you are truly saving the World."
An orange-yellow portal opened at the entrance of the command center.
The Little Spiders and sorcerers looked at each other.
Then, led by Black Strange, they walked into the portal.
Soon, only Leon and Jarvis remained in the command center.
At this point, Jarvis suddenly reminded: "Young Master, do you think we need to tell Mr. Starkabout our plan?"
Leon was stunned: "Tell Tony? What can he do… Hmm, wait, if he found out that saving the World didn't involve him, he'd probably be so regretful and miserable he wouldn't sleep for weeks."
Jarvis smiled: "I think Mr. Stark would regret it his whole life, until Young Master, you placed roses on his tombstone, his holographic posthumous image would even move and say Young Master is a little bastard."
"What the… Alright, that's something Tony would do. Jarvis, your sarcasm has really improved."
Leon thought for a few seconds.
He still decided to follow Jarvis's suggestion and bring Tony to the TVA.
Even if it was just to be a bystander.
He couldn't really let Tony, even after being buried, break out of his grave on Halloween and shout to the thunder and lightning-filled night sky, "Regret, I'm dying of regret," could he?
"Alright then, I'll go back and just bring everyone over. It'll also add some reliable manpower."
Leon stepped forward and disappeared from the TVA's command center.
Chapter 583 The First Exercise
"What? What did you say?"
"Say it again, Leon, what did you and Jarvis do?"
Tony unbuttoned his crisp suit, pulled off his jacket, and threw it on the desk.
He looked like he was about to challenge Leon to a gentleman's duel.
"Calm down, Tony, don't make that arrogant face. Didn't I just come to tell you?"
Leon pressed down on Tony's hand, which had already started to twist his tie.
In the S Universe, it had only been two days since the battle between the Avengers and Professor X and others.
Today, Tony was dressed in a sharp suit, exuding confidence.
He was originally representing the Avengers at a Security Council meeting.
To explain the crisis Earth had previously faced.
But as soon as the meeting ended, he and Pepper were chatting and laughing, just walking out of the United Nations building.
When Leon stopped him and brought him back to the Avengers Base.
After listening to Leon's "I'm taking you to a high-level game" expression, as he explained the plan to save the Universe.
Tony nearly exploded.
"When you found the problem, you didn't look for me. When you looked for a solution, you didn't look for me. Now that it's the cleanup, you come to me?"
Tony's eyes widened, as anxious as if a torch had been lit behind him.
"Why didn't you wait until only our Universe was left in the Multiverse to come to me!?
"You missed out, Leon, I'm telling you, you missed out on your brother's top-notch intelligent brain!"
"Your plan must be full of loopholes. Now, quick, before you mess everything up, take me to save this World!"
Tony took out an Ark Reactor and placed it on his chest, unfolding his gold and red Armor.
He directly put on his iterated Anti-Superman Armor.
It was clear he was ready for a tough battle.
Flames shot from his feet and back, propelling him into the air, and the paper documents around him flew everywhere in the airflow.
"Let's go, open the portal, hurry!"
Tony rubbed his hands together, impatient.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Pepper entered, carrying a tray with two cups of coffee.
"Tony!? What are you doing?"
Pepper's eyes widened when she saw the papers flying around.
Tony's eyes also widened.
He looked at Pepper, then at Leon, motioning for him to say something quickly.
Leon spread his hands helplessly: "Tony said he was going to risk his life to save the World."
"What? Tony, you!?"
"You brat... Pepper, there's no life-threatening danger, what danger? Leon is talking nonsense. He's already done all the dangerous things, I'm just going to clean up..."
Tony's Armor, which had just taken off, landed back down.
...
Tony couldn't stand the Multiverse being in turmoil while he was enjoying a peaceful life at home.
Although he had become much more stable after having Morgan.
But it had been stable for many years now.
Don't look at Tony pressing his face against Morgan's every day, saying that her Uncle Leon isn't worth loving five thousand times, she only needs to love him three thousand, no, just a hundred times.
But his heart had long been itching.
No one knew how fiercely the fire in his heart burned when he saw Magneto and Apocalypsethat day.
But unfortunately, he didn't get to show his strength.
The two powerful figures from DC ended the battle swiftly.
But now it was different.
Saving the Multiverse.
Listen to how thrilling that phrase is.
Any Superhero, upon hearing that they were going to save the Multiverse, wouldn't they be filled with passion, their heads muddled by the rush of blood?
It was just a pity that Leon was too slow.
So much so that Tony had to wait another half a day.
In Kamar-Taj's Small World.
Outside the magic academy, Leon gathered everyone except the low-grade students.
Official Sorcerers, Apprentice Sorcerers, and ungraduated senior Sorcerers.
Also, the Avengers, Men in Black, the Amazon tribe, and Loki and Hela, who were just there to make up the numbers.
Except for leaving essential people to stabilize the situation.
Leon planned to take everyone he could.
These people from the S Universe Earth had been cultivated by him for a long time.
Compared to people from other Worlds, they were undoubtedly more trustworthy and better understood.
"That's how it is. The Multiverse is in peril, and each of you now carries a mission."
Leon opened the portal to the TVA.
"Depart!"
Wonder Woman Diana and Supergirl Kara flew into the portal simultaneously.
Tony, wearing his Anti-Superman Armor, and Pepper, radiating photon energy, followed behind.
Morgan was entrusted to Jarvis's sub-entity and Happy to look after.
The two of them were going to set off together to save the World this time.
After that, Wong, Mordo, Banner, Hawkeye, Captain America, Yelena, Natasha, and others followed suit.
The TVA had added hundreds of employees this time.
However, the people from the S Universe would serve as the backbone.
When the TVA temporarily recruited Superheroes from other Universes for help in the future.
They would play a core organizational and coordinating role.
Upon arriving at the TVA.
Everyone, under Jarvis's arrangement, entered Dark Strange's Earth to conduct the "First Exercise" with the Little Spiders.
Honestly speaking.
Although the Little Spiders were a bit noisy, they were indeed full of talent.
When they arrived at Black Strange's Earth.
The Spider-Man with the strongest hacking skills immediately hacked into various countries' information systems.
And began sending intelligence to various governments and Superheroes.
Then they broke down into smaller groups.
For the officials and Superheroes who firmly believed this was a scam.
They would send people to visit in person and provide concrete proof.
As for those who were skeptical.
They would communicate online.
The Little Spiders' first exercise was undoubtedly efficient.
Black Strange, while accompanying Christine on a shopping trip, kept an eye on the global situation and felt relatively at ease with the Little Spiders.
Then Tony and the others arrived.
Tony hacked into global screens and began to give a speech.
Kara and Diana found the strongest Superheroes on Earth—
Another Tony Stark, and Thor, who was on a date with Jane Foster in New York.
As for Captain America, that was left to the Captain America and Carter from the S Universe.
Half a day later.
On Black Strange's Earth, most factions believed the TVA's claims.
After all, the evidence was indeed sufficient, and those video materials were both shocking and realistic enough.
Moreover, the people from the TVA were simply too strong.
The Tony from Black Strange's World, his Iron Armor's cannon barrels were smoking, but he couldn't inflict any damage on Kara, as if it was just laser sterilization.
As for the group from the TVA.
They had been emphasized by Jarvis that their main task was just to gain the trust of the Superheroes, to avoid causing trouble later.
So, after confirming that every Superhero, either bruised and battered or with a numb expression, expressed belief.
Black Strange contacted Leon.
Leon descended.
That giant hand descended from the sky, grasping the Earth.
At that moment, let alone the people of Black Strange's Earth.
Even the folks from the TVA felt panic from the bottom of their hearts. If they hadn't known it was Leon, they would have certainly counterattacked.
However, the giant hand's embrace lasted only a few breaths.
Then the hand disappeared.
And the sunlight reappeared.
Everyone hadn't truly processed it yet.
Their Earth had already been swallowed into the God Realm Dimension.
Chapter 584: All Hands On Deck
After devouring Black Strange's Earth, Leon did not dispatch his main body, but instead manipulated his m-body to skillfully bring over the corresponding Universe.
With previous successful experience, the process of devouring a Universe, which originally required extreme caution, had now become a routine procedure.
Leon accelerated the devouring process while pondering how to arrange the star distribution within his dimension.
The God-Kingdom Universe was destined to eventually accommodate countless Worlds from movie Universes.
The various civilizations and powerful Gods from those Universes would also appear here as countless identical counterparts.
Considering the complex situation of Universe integration, similar civilizations tended to band together for warmth and to cope with crises.
And even ants banding together could potentially devour an elephant.
Forces like the Shi'ar Empire and the Kree Empire, although countless of them stacked together would not pose a threat to Leon, would still develop ambitions due to their growing power.
At the very least, going to war with other civilizations would be absolutely unavoidable.
In a single Universe, when these Cosmic Empires went to war, several star systems could be engulfed in conflict.
If they were allowed to gather countless identical versions of themselves in the God-Kingdom Universe, Leon dared not imagine how many star systems would be destroyed once they started fighting.
Therefore, Leon's layout for the integration of different Universes was very simple: move the sparsely populated star regions of each Universe to its edge.
These uninhabited star regions would act like isolation zones, separating the integrated Universes.
Currently, the God-Kingdom Universe had only integrated the Mutant Universe and the Black Strange Universe.
So Leon used the uninhabited star systems from both Universes to form a star region stretching billions of Light Years, spanning between them.
At the same time, he also reinforced the spatial stability of this isolation star region, which would prevent advanced civilizations from using jump points to cross the isolation zone.
Then Leon added a new Universe rule: in his God-Kingdom Universe, unless one was a Cosmic level powerhouse, flight speed could not exceed Light Speed.
Did the major Universe forces want to go to another Universe area? Of course, they could, but they would have to fly for billions of years in their spaceships.
When Black Strange's World was completely swallowed into the God-Kingdom Universe, Leon also perfected various minor rules.
At this time, Tony and the others, with the help of Black Strange and Jarvis, flew to the edge of Black Strange's World, watching one star system after another integrate, until the very end.
"This is the process of Universe integration… you really came up with a feasible plan."
Tony's armor slowly spewed Fire, and he gazed at the endless, brilliant starry sky, the side of his armor illuminated by the Sun.
Jarvis, seeing the last star system integrate, turned to look at everyone.
"Everyone, let's go find Young Master Leon now; he will tell us what to do next."
A brilliant blue Space Stone energy surged from Jarvis, covering everyone.
Tony's cheek twitched involuntarily: "Damn Jarvis, I never heard you and Leon talk about this Universe before this; you kept everything from me!"
After everyone disappeared with the Space Stone energy, the communication channel still carried the sound of their conversation.
"Sir, your armor is very powerful, but it cannot currently venture into space. Perhaps the Young Master thought that even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to help, which is why…"
Jarvis loved to needle Tony.
Tony was exasperated: "What? Are you saying I'm weak? Jarvis, you tell Leon that I'm also going to collect a set of Infinity Stones, and then we'll see who's the weakest!"
As Tony's voice faded, everyone arrived before Leon.
This was a barren land.
Dozens of Suns hung high in the sky, making the surface temperature of the land reach over a hundred degrees Celsius.
However, the moment everyone appeared, an invisible force field enveloped them, not only preventing any burning sensation but also making them feel cool.
"Even if you collect the Infinity Stones, you probably still won't be able to beat Jarvis," Leon said with a smile, looking at Tony.
"Here, take this. You can use it to build a Celestials armor. There are also many Infinity Stones in the TVA; you can ask Jarvis for them."
Leon tossed Tony a World Ring.
"Celestials?"
Tony reached out to catch it and curiously probed his consciousness into it.
He saw the massive Arishem the Judge's corpse inside, paused, then showed an excited expression.
"This is the God you fought outside Earth before?"
"It doesn't seem to be a pure life form, but rather an energy materialized… And its outer red armor seems to be made of a material I've never seen before."
Tony observed the Celestials in the ring and suddenly had many inspirations.
"If I use it to make armor, then… Leon, your previous battle with it didn't seem to go smoothly?"
Tony held the ring, and suddenly regained confidence: "Hmph, this time, once I build a brand new armor, you won't be my opponent!"
"You're going to defeat me again? Hmm… then good luck."
Leon found that as long as he gave Tony a new armor inspiration, Tony would always regain his confidence.
Leon stopped teasing Tony and turned to look at the others.
Everyone here was an employee of the "New TVA."
Spider-Man, Kamar-Taj mages, Amazons, Asgardians, Men in Black… totaling nearly a thousand people.
"Everyone, you have already experienced a successful drill. Now, the real mission officially begins!"
"Jarvis will send your respective target Earths to your time tablets."
"The survival of the Multiverse now depends on you."
"All hands on deck, depart!"
Jarvis had already equipped everyone with time tablets.
A series of notification sounds rang out at the scene.
The Spider-Men, full of passion, were the first to open their portals and leave the God-Kingdom Universe.
They had already gained the sense of accomplishment from saving the World in the recent drill.
At this moment, as they all entered the portals, no one hesitated.
Even the slightly dark and ruthless Shadow Spider-Man quickened his pace, his trench coat fluttering.
Tony's speed was no slower than theirs.
Before entering the portal, he even declared that he would be the one to save the most Worlds.
The mages were different.
Wong first gathered all the mages for a brief debriefing, then formulated a plan, and had Lilia, the divination teacher, perform a prophecy.
Only then did he and all the mages depart simultaneously.
The Men in Black and the Amazons also formulated their plans and fought independently.
Because they could all borrow Leon's power to cast magic, even single-person deployments were completely fine.
The last to leave were Diana, Kara, and Wanda.
The three kissed Leon goodbye before opening their portals and setting off on their mission.
"Jarvis, you monitor them from the TVA and be ready to provide support at any time."
"Strange, you continue to sweep the Realm of Split with Mephisto and the others, and quickly conquer the various evil dimensions here."
Leon gave his final orders to Jarvis and Black Strange.
Then he also stepped out, leaving the God-Kingdom Universe.
Chapter 585: Is Leon the Older Brother? Tony's Frustration
Leon controlled a thousand m-bodies, on standby at the TVA.
The efficiency of new employees like Little Spider and the Sorcerers was actually very high.
They leveraged the TVA's time technology.
Even if they spent several months in their respective mission Worlds to persuade the Superheroes,
when they returned to the TVA, they would return to the exact moment they left.
At this point, the m-bodies Leon left in the TVA would be dispatched to take that Earth away.
Jarvis was connected to the command center's main equipment, and data streams flowed before his eyes.
Almost every second, thousands of Earths completed their notification tasks and were absorbed into the God-Kingdom Universe.
Jarvis had to constantly anchor new mission targets.
And distribute them to employees who completed their tasks.
Making them set off again.
At the same time, Jarvis also had to mobilize TVA resources to provide various mission-related equipment to each employee.
For example, providing cash deposits for various Worlds and arranging identity backgrounds for employees upon landing.
During this process, the Sorcerers were the happiest.
Because they were taking large sums of mission funds issued by Jarvis, allowing them to spend lavishly.
On the other hand, they could also earn Kamar-Taj contribution points by saving Worlds.
Those contribution points were the cost of using Leon's series of magic.
This mission was simply an countless amount of contribution points.
The Sorcerers suddenly saw hope of exchanging for the ultimate magic—the Superman series (one-time use).
On this day,
the Multiverse was filled with the presence of new TVA employees.
Dinosaur Spider-Man traveled to an Earth during the Chitauri invasion.
His huge dinosaur body, hanging by webs, fiercely kicked Chitauri soldiers in the air, earning the Avengers' trust.
Shadow Spider-Man traveled to the Avengers Civil War period.
He pulled down his felt hat, his black trench coat moving through the chaotic Sokovia.
Then, based on TVA intelligence, he captured Baron Zemo, eased the conflict between Iron Manand Captain America, and successfully gained trust.
Wanda traveled to the Avengers: Infinity War period.
Her Chaos Magic directly obliterated the five-gem Thanos who had arrived on Earth into dust.
Then, crimson magic covered the entire globe.
After simultaneously implanting information about World collision and Universe fusion into the minds of everyone worldwide,
Wanda then moved on to the next Earth.
Kara traveled to a World where the X-Men rebooted the future.
She saw Sentinel Robots hunting Mutants all over the World, furrowed her brow, and clenched her fists.
Because she had been imprisoned before,
Kara deeply detested scientists and Mutant research.
Within mere seconds, countless Heat Visions descended almost simultaneously, engulfing the Earth.
Those were afterimages caused by Kara's high-speed movement.
She instantly killed all the Sentinel Robots, then landed in front of Professor X and Magneto.
"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say…"
Whether it was Wanda, Kara, or Diana, they were all the most efficient.
As for Tony.
Tony traveled to a World after the End Game.
As soon as he landed, he had the Jarvis sub-unit in his armor hack into the global network.
As a result, he unexpectedly learned that Leon had actually visited this Earth twice and saved the World twice.
Once was to resolve the Sokovia crisis, allowing the falling city to land safely.
The other was to deal with the six-gem Thanos, preventing the destruction of the entire Universe.
Tony mumbled about Leon secretly doing good deeds again without him.
Then he sought out the Avengers of this World.
After speaking Leon's name,
he gained everyone's trust.
However, the subsequent development of events was a little unexpected.
When Tony explained the World collision crisis to everyone at the Avengers Base,
the Iron Man of this World poured him a glass of gin.
"Buddy, can you tell me how you ended up with an older brother like Leon?"
Iron Man asked casually, sipping his drink.
Then he saw Tony's face change dramatically, thinking he had said something wrong.
He couldn't help but put down his glass and explain: "I mean, I'm quite surprised… Well, a little envious of you, to have an older brother like Leon."
"He's so strong, and very reliable, very capable of giving people a sense of security."
"Since Leon is around, your old man and Maria on your side must not have been killed, right?"
"Can you tell me how the old man adopted Leon?"
"Also, as Superman, when Leon was your older brother, did he bully you when you were little… Uh, you don't have to say if you don't want to, I just asked casually…"
"Hey, calm down, calm down… Where are you going?"
Iron Man watched Tony's expression turn as if he had seen a ghost.
Then his expression gradually darkened, and he began to gnash his teeth.
"Leon is my older brother? He said that? That damned brat! I won't let him off!"
Tony even put on his armor at the end and flew directly out of the Avengers Base.
Iron Man looked in astonishment at the trail left by the armor's thrusters in the sky.
He turned back and spread his hands to the Avengers who had come out: "Did I say something wrong? Is my other self getting along very badly with his older brother… Damn, you really can't say."
Iron Man suddenly realized, with his own terrible personality,
if he really had a Superman older brother, it would be hard to say how awkward it would be and how bad their relationship would become.
"He really lives up to being another me… Next time we meet, I'll have to persuade him, he needs to learn to cherish."
Iron Man sighed with the experience of someone who had been there.
He was already in his fifties, seeing the other Tony still looking like he was in his thirties or forties, clearly still very young and knowing nothing.
Among the Avengers, only this Universe's Wanda had a strange expression.
She often sought Leon to learn magic, so of course she knew the truth.
Hmm, Leon's little lie was about to be exposed this time.
Wanda thought so.
Just then,
the sky outside the Avengers Base suddenly darkened.
Everyone ran to the open space outside the Base and saw a giant hand in the sky loosely holding the Earth.
"Is that… the one who will take us to another Universe?"
Everyone watched, stunned.
...…
On the other side,
Leon didn't know yet.
Tony was returning to the TVA to find him.
But he was stopped again by Jarvis.
Saying it couldn't affect the progress of saving the Multiverse.
So Tony could only hold onto his various emotions, cursing the brat, and heading back to other Worlds to continue his mission.
However, Jarvis was indeed right.
Leon was currently saving Worlds across the entire Multiverse.
The TVA was responsible for communicating with peaceful Earths.
While Leon was pinpointing Earths that were currently colliding.
And making timely appearances, saving Worlds in a rescue-like manner.
Because the frequency of World collisions in the Multiverse was increasing.
So the number of Worlds in these collisions was incredibly vast.
Relying on the strength of his main body, Leon simultaneously searched the entire Multiverse.
With a single glance, he could find hundreds of millions of colliding Earths.
Thus, all of Leon's m-bodies scattered throughout the Multiverse began to act.
The Earths in the collision events were undoubtedly desperate.
No explanation or description was even needed.
Leon's m-bodies only needed to appear and transmit their voices across the Earth.
Everyone would then beg him to save them.
So a large number of Earths began to be sent to the God-Kingdom Universe.
This process would be repeated many times and would continue for a very, very long time.
Chapter 586: Kicking Your Butts Hard
Time flowed slowly in the Multiverse.
After a good start, the New TVA entered a snowballing period of development.
The initial less than a thousand employees, no matter how efficient, were just a drop in the bucket for the entire Multiverse.
So, whenever a new Earth was swallowed into the God-Kingdom Universe and smoothly passed its adaptation period, the TVA would select one or two suitable Superheroes from that Earth to join the TVA.
Little Fatty Ned's initial summary was indeed correct.
As the number of saved Worlds increased, so did the the number of TVA employees.
With more employees, the overall speed of saving Worlds also became faster and faster.
Now, the busy figures of employees could be seen everywhere in the TVA.
Those figures were almost all Superheroes like Hawkeye, Wanda, and Banner, who were serious about their missions and rarely exercised subjective initiative during missions.
This was specifically requested by Leon.
Because in the process of saving Worlds, people like Iron Man and Doctor Strange, who had too many personal opinions, were not suitable to join.
These guys were dangerous elements.
If they were allowed to join, they might, at some point, have a sudden, inexplicable flash of inspiration.
Even if it was just to be lazy and create a small invention, under the immense influence of the TVA, it could potentially cause a Multiverse crisis.
Therefore, even though tens of millions or hundreds of millions of Tonys applied to join the TVA every day, under Leon's instructions, Jarvis ruthlessly swept those applications into the trash.
This created a very interesting phenomenon—
Currently, in the entire TVA, there was only one Tony and one Strange.
No matter how few other Superheroes there were, there were still dozens of their counterparts working there.
Only these two had just the original S Universe Tony and Dark Strange.
Black Strange knew himself well and agreed with this decision.
Tony also agreed.
However, he agreed because he felt that his brain was the smartest among all Iron Men.
So, whether other Iron Men joined or not was irrelevant.
Tony traveled through various Universes every day, and the joy of saving Worlds kept him from stopping.
But today was an exception.
"Leon! You little brat, you actually claimed to be my older brother in other Universes! Do you say that every time you go to a Universe?"
Tony rolled up the sleeves of his work jacket to his elbows.
A long time had passed since he accidentally learned the "truth."
Now, he finally caught Leon in the TVA.
He rushed up without hesitation and began a saliva attack.
"Damn it, Jarvis, get me a cup of heated cola."
"Today, I'm going to let this brat, who always wants to be my brother, taste a lesson from an elder!"
Tony, with ulterior motives, tried to force a cup of heated cola down Leon's throat.
Hot cola was absolutely the most terrifying and disgusting thing in the World for the Starkbrothers, who loved to drink happy water.
However, Leon and the other person, who were discussing in front of the command room's large screen, both ignored him.
"Young Master, we have now swallowed 186,070,000 Earths, and there are 30 million Universes that have successfully merged."
Jarvis was reporting.
On the large screen was an overhead view of the God-Kingdom Universe from the outside.
Originally, only seven additional Dimensions surrounded the God Realm Dimension.
But now, it seemed to have formed a cluster of Universes.
Hundreds of millions of densely packed Universe bubbles surrounded the God-Kingdom Universe from all directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back.
Those Universes were squeezed together.
If it weren't for Leon's m-body controlling them, that place would have long become a large-scale Universe cluster collision site.
The destructive scene caused by hundreds of millions of Universes colliding simultaneously, squeezing each other, was unimaginably magnificent.
The efficiency of the new TVA employees and Leon was simply too high.
As a result, the speed at which the God-Kingdom Universe fully swallowed Worlds could not keep up with their speed of collecting Earths.
So the TVA recently had a short holiday, allowing the employees who had been traveling for a long time to relax in their respective Worlds for a few days.
In fact, only about two weeks had passed in the TVA.
But the first batch of employees, like the Little Spiders, had already spent several years on missions on various Earths.
"From the current speed, it will take about two more days for all the remaining Universes to merge," Leon said, looking at the large screen.
Jarvis nodded: "I will inform everyone that the holiday ends in two days."
Tony watched the two of them from the side, his mouth twitching.
"Are you ignoring me? You're actually ignoring me?" Tony grabbed Leon's shoulder.
However, Leon still calmly asked Jarvis, "By the way, that matter I asked you to pay special attention to earlier, is it okay?"
"Of course, Young Master," Jarvis nodded.
"The Fantastic Four you mentioned, I threw all of them to Doctor Doom's Battleworld the first time I discovered them."
If Tony and Doctor Strange were troublemakers, then Mister Fantastic Reed was undoubtedly a step above them.
So Leon refused Mister Fantastic to enter the God-Kingdom Universe.
He instructed Jarvis to be strictly vigilant about the appearance of the Fantastic Four.
Once these four people were spotted, they were to be immediately thrown to Battleworld.
"That's good. Actually, this can be considered my sponsorship for Doom."
Leon's shamelessness had already inherited some of Ancient One's true teachings.
He smiled and said, "Mister Fantastic is, after all, a top talent in the Multiverse. So many Mister Fantastic converging in Battleworld will surely add bricks and mortar to Doom's plan."
"Young Master is still too kind, always thinking of the Multiverse," Jarvis nodded.
Tony watched his AI butler ignore him and instead fawn over Leon, feeling a bit of existential doubt.
Was this still his heart-stabbing Jarvis?
He was afraid it was someone else.
"You two are like your ears are stuffed with a lot of butter, not planning to talk to me, right? Silent treatment?"
Tony sneered, "Very well, now I'm going to put on my armor and use my nano-material boots to kick your butts hard!"
Tony's armor attached to him, and he struck a pose.
However, Jarvis was still seriously communicating with Leon.
"Young Master, there's another issue. During the holiday, employees who returned to their respective Earths provided some feedback."
"Oh, what feedback? Do they want to extend their holiday?"
"No, not at all. They want to..."
Jarvis's words paused slightly.
Because Tony really kicked towards their butts.
Clang!
Jarvis blocked Tony's calf with his arm.
Then he continued, "They applied to connect their Earths to each other for mutual communication and joint discussion of the future of the Multiverse."
Leon raised an eyebrow: "Ha, this kind of plan looks like it was instigated by those Tony Starks and Stephen Stranges."
Tony, who was about to get angry after having his leg blocked by Jarvis, paused at this moment and couldn't help but say, "That's right. Connecting various Earths is actually connecting various Worlds."
"That represents countless civilizations, and behind them are unimaginable variables. We cannot do that now."
After speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait, what do you mean 'instigated by Tony Stark'? Leon, you brat, you're slandering me again."
Chapter 587: Creating a Dimension
Tony's words were once again ignored.
Jarvis looked at Leon and said, "This time, many people have offered suggestions, and perhaps we cannot ignore their opinions."
"Of course, Young Master, your strength is enough to solve all troubles."
"But they are, after all, our employees."
"From the perspective of management efficiency, only by appropriately adopting employee opinions can the overall vitality of the organization be maintained."
Leon nodded thoughtfully: "That's true…"
"Their suggestion actually stems from a sense of insecurity."
"This sense of insecurity does not come from us, but precisely from other Earths."
"Although employees recruited from various Earths are actively carrying out tasks and saving the World together."
"But no matter who learns that there are countless identical versions of themselves and their Earths across the distant starry sky, they will feel uneasy."
Jarvis immediately agreed: "As expected of the Young Master, an Abstract Entity, you truly possess profound insight."
Well, after Jarvis's humanity grew, he not only enjoyed needling Tony but also began to praise Leon.
Tony, who was nearby, also agreed with the content of their conversation.
But he was very dissatisfied with the way these two guys ignored him.
He pulled back his leg with a sour face and squeezed between them.
"You two can't see me, can you, Jarvis…"
Tony said to the Jarvis sub-entity on his armor.
"Jarvis, tell your stubborn main body and your mischievous, never-growing-up Young Master."
"Tell them that I'm going to find Pepper now."
"I'll tell Pepper that there are two Helen Kellers from who knows where, who can't see their parent, and need her help!"
Tony knew that Leon and Jarvis were determined to prank him.
So he brought out his trump card, Pepper.
Sure enough, when he mentioned Pepper and pretended to leave.
Leon and Jarvis finally looked over.
"Oh, Tony? When did you come to TVA?" Leon grabbed Tony's shoulder.
Jarvis also smiled and said, "Long time no see, Sir. Everyone is on vacation, are you still busy?"
Tony turned back with a sneer: "The two blind princes aren't going to continue pretending they can't see anyone?"
Leon pulled Tony back in front of the screen: "What do you mean can't see anyone, didn't you just arrive?"
Before Tony could continue with his sarcastic remarks.
Leon returned to the previous topic.
"Jarvis and I were just talking about the demands of the employees from various Earths."
"Now that I see you, I have an idea, Tony."
Leon said, "What do you think of us creating a dimension like the Kamar-Taj Small World, connecting all Earths?"
"We can set limits on the number of people who can enter the dimension from each star domain, or set entry qualifications."
"This would allow various Earths to communicate with each other, but without interfering with each other."
"This issue is a bit complex. Do you have any opinions?"
Tony glanced at Leon: "Now you know to ask me?"
Being actively asked for his opinion by Leon.
Tony immediately showed a hint of small pride.
He said, and then glanced at Leon again.
After realizing that Leon was really waiting for his answer.
Tony's lips curved into a smile.
When was the last time Leon asked for his opinion?
It was probably many years ago.
His increasingly powerful younger brother made Tony, as the older brother, feel less and less involved.
But now, both the sense of involvement and accomplishment have returned, haven't they?
Tony suddenly felt a bit of the joy of educating his younger brother again.
He folded his arms and said, "Sure enough, when it comes to strategizing, you still need a creative brain."
"Creating a dimension is good, but if it's only used for communication, it's hard to satisfy…"
Tony pondered as he narrated his additions to Leon's plan.
Leon secretly chuckled to himself on the side.
He also gave a thumbs up to Jarvis on the other side.
And Jarvis nodded with a smile.
The previous prank of ignoring Tony.
It was just Leon seeing Tony's aggressive approach.
So he had a sudden inspiration for a prank.
But the effect was indeed very good.
After all, Tony is still very easy to deal with.
Look, he even forgot about his initial intention to come here to settle scores, didn't he?
… … … …
God-Kingdom Universe.
Leon's God-Kingdom space was located high in the center of the Universe.
All other star domains were arranged around it.
Looking around from here, there were dazzling stars and countless splendid galaxies.
The largest supercluster was like a swirling ring of fireflies.
Tens of thousands of long, narrow galaxies, larger than the Milky Way, stretched across the Universe.
Leon appeared hundreds of billions of light-years below the God-Kingdom Universe.
He had already discussed a relatively feasible plan with Tony and Jarvis.
Now he was here, ready to begin creating the dimensional space that would connect all Earths.
Leon's figure appeared ethereal under the starry sky.
He waved his finger at the space below.
A large amount of dust and scattered matter in the Universe gathered.
Iron, gold, hydrogen, and other elements scattered throughout the Universe during supernova explosions.
Under Leon's control, they gradually formed a huge landmass.
Considering that the people active on this landmass in the future would come from countless Worlds.
Leon specifically constructed the landmass to be incredibly vast.
While creating the landmass, he also opened up an inner Universe dimension around it.
The rules of this dimension were the same as the outside World.
But Leon made subtle modifications.
He modified the rules of gravity and added some mechanisms to promote communication and interaction among all parties.
When the dimension finally took shape.
At its center was a landmass more than one light-year long and wide.
Such a massive landmass, if it were in a normal Universe environment.
Its immense material density would even be enough to collapse into a black hole.
However, under the rules specifically modified by Leon.
The gravity of this landmass was no different from Earth's, and it could exist for a long time.
Then Leon molded a few stars, making them orbit the landmass.
But sunlight and land were not enough.
Leon continued to transform the dimension.
He divided the vast landmass into climates, brought forth oceans, erected towering mountains, and caused magma to erupt.
Just like God creating the World in seven days.
Leon created everything necessary for the propagation of life within the dimension.
"That's enough. Cities and various facilities can be built by the people who come here from various Worlds."
After completing the dimension's creation, Leon began to connect it to all existing Earths.
At the same time, he brought Tony and Jarvis along to help him continue to perfect the mechanisms within the dimension.
Two days later.
TVA's vacation ended, and employees began to prepare to continue going to various Universes to save the World.
At this moment, a pop-up appeared on their time tablets.
"Do you want to experience communication with other Worlds? Do you want to know the true meaning of the Universe?"
"Yes or No"
Chapter 588 Iron Man Day
Rumble!
Rumble!
Continuous explosions echoed across the Earth.
Hundreds of missiles streaked across the dark red sky, leaving trails of white airflow.
The missiles collided and exploded with sharp whistles.
The explosions bloomed like flower stamens, rising in clusters.
And within the dense, fiery clouds of explosions, countless golden-red, white-black, and blue-white figures darted through.
They were all people wearing Iron Man armor.
Some fought in pairs, while others focused on a single target, attacking simultaneously.
It was clearly just scattered, individual combat.
Yet, they created a formation reminiscent of a World War, with two nations drawing lines and launching air-to-ground missiles in full volleys.
From a distance, it looked like a scene from the end of the World.
Anyone who saw it would be terrified, their legs weak, almost wanting to flee.
But surprisingly.
Not far from the mushroom clouds that rose after the missile explosions.
There was a continuous cluster of buildings.
Within the building cluster were streets, skyscrapers, and sports fields.
Even though a few kilometers away, there were the sharp whistles of missiles streaking across the sky and the roars of exploding shells.
Even though the entire building cluster trembled constantly from the explosions.
The pedestrians and residents here remained unperturbed, even chatting and laughing.
In an outdoor coffee shop near the battlefield.
The Impact from the missile explosions kicked up a swirling cloud of dust, engulfing the coffee shop.
When the dust settled.
On the outdoor tables of the coffee shop.
Captain America and Banner calmly lowered their dust-covered parasols, which they had held over their heads.
Banner pushed aside the dust-covered coffee on the table.
Then he raised his hand: "Jarvis, please bring another fresh cup, and put the one with dust on Tony's tab."
"Certainly, Mr. Bruce."
A robot emerged from behind the dusty counter and took Banner's coffee away.
Captain America also pushed the cup in front of him: "Mine too, thank you."
"Of course, Mr. Rogers, two coffees total ten Dimension Coins, charged to Mr. Stark of S Universe."
The robot returned to the counter with the coffee and used a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust off the counter.
Amidst the buzzing sound.
Banner shrugged: "Sorry, Captain, I forgot today was Iron Man Day again, and they're going to bombard this place again."
"It's alright, I forgot too, Banner."
Captain America gestured that it was no big deal, then habitually patted the top of his head, shaking off the dust from his hair.
"I just returned from a mission on a Mutant Earth last night. After agreeing to your invitation message, I went to sleep with Carter."
"I didn't check the Dimension Calendar this morning, otherwise…"
Captain America turned his head to look at the vast red cloud a few kilometers away.
The towering mushroom clouds looked terrifying and deadly.
But they didn't elicit a hint of alarm in Captain America's eyes.
He was already used to it, completely calm.
So calm, it was like watching the ninety-year-old aunt next door baking eggs on a coal stove early in the morning.
"If I had known today was Iron Man Day, I would have arranged to meet you in the live broadcast hall and placed a bet on Tony winning."
Captain America made a joke.
"Haha, Tony's odds are almost non-existent now, aren't they?" Banner said with a laugh.
"On the other hand, our odds are still worth betting on."
At this moment, the robot finished cleaning the counter, brewed two more coffees, and brought them to the table.
"Gentlemen, your new coffee. If it gets dusty again, you can inform me, and I will continue to charge it to Mr. Stark's account."
"Alright, thank you, Jarvis."
Captain America picked up his coffee, took a sip, closed his eyes, and savored the rich aroma in his mouth.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "What a magical coffee. It relaxes the mind, restores the body, and makes one feel young. Every time I taste it, I feel five Dimension Coins are well worth it."
"Indeed, that's why we always gather here for our meetings."
Banner also took a sip, immediately leaned back in his chair in comfort, and hummed with his eyes closed.
Captain America said with a smile:
"I heard the Water used to brew the coffee is called zeus spring water, placed by Leon at the edge of the Dimension, a million kilometers long and wide, but it diminishes with every use, which is why it costs five Dimension Coins."
Banner opened his eyes and nodded: "That's true, and I heard that Superheroes from some Worlds have already formed teams, planning to search for that spring at the Dimension's edge."
"Even if they find it, it'll be useless, right?" Captain America hesitated slightly.
"On this Dimension Continent, only authorized people can use jump points or open portals. Even if those guys find it, they won't be able to bring it back."
Banner shook his head: "I'm not optimistic either. It's such a long journey; spaceships might fly for decades and still not find it."
"And the number of people here is rapidly increasing. By the time they find that spring, the spring Water might already be all drunk up."
Captain America nodded, about to ask Banner the reason for their meeting.
Suddenly, guests at another table nearby shouted.
"Hey, it's you, Hulk of S Universe!"
Someone at that table stood up.
He had blond hair and a sunny demeanor. He walked over to Banner, familiarly putting his arm around his shoulder.
"Thor?" Banner looked up, startled, "Uh, you seem to be that… Party Thor? This is our first time meeting, right?"
"Of course! Everyone calls me Party Thor! Fifty percent of the parties here are hosted by me!"
Party Thor laughed and winked.
"Hulk, oh no, you should be called Banner now, right?"
"Last Hulk Day, you took first place, and that earned me a good sum!"
Party Thor suddenly lowered his voice: "Buddy, the day after tomorrow is your Hulk Day again. This time I'm still betting on you to win, you must do your best!"
"Then I'll invite you to the party, and I'll call all of Zeus's concubines! There will be exciting performances!"
"This, good… good." Banner's mouth twitched, and he perfunctorily agreed.
After much effort, he finally dealt with Party Thor and sent him back to his seat.
Banner helplessly took another sip of coffee.
"Betty and I actually attended his party before, but… well, Betty hasn't allowed me to go since."
Captain America also smiled helplessly: "These gods' parties are indeed a bit… well, Tony would probably like them more."
"But Tony is also kept on a tight leash by Pepper, so he can't go, haha. However, many of the younger Tony variants do attend." Banner laughed heartily.
Captain America shook his head: "Banner, speaking of which, what did you want to meet me about today?"
"Oh, that. Actually, two days ago, Jarvis discovered a rather strange Earth, and he hopes I can take some people to deal with it."
Banner said, "You know, those of us from S Earth are all the core members of TVA now, and our respective burdens are very heavy. We haven't seen each other in a long time."
"So I thought, why don't we take this opportunity to go on a mission together."
"Wanda, Hawkeye, Tony… I've invited all of them. Now it's just you left, Captain."
"They all agreed?" Captain America was a little surprised, "That's really great. Of course, I want to go too. I'm in, Banner."
"That's wonderful!" Banner said with a smile, downing his coffee.
"As soon as Iron Man Day ends, we'll set off together!"
Boom!
Just as Banner's voice fell.
A pure White beam of light cut through the distant smoke and dust.
Even the sky and Earth were split in two by it.
From a distance, numerous small black dots could be seen being flung several kilometers by the enormous beam of light.
Those black dots were all Tony variants wearing Iron Man armor.
As the terrifying beam of light gradually extinguished.
Jarvis's elegant voice sounded from every Time Tablet.
"The third Iron Man Day, the final winner—Tony Stark of S Universe. The specific rankings are as follows…"
Chapter 589: Banner's Mission, Avengers Assemble!
Banner's tablet was on the table.
The moment Jarvis's voice rang out.
A list popped up on his tablet's interface.
From first to twentieth, with more rankings after flipping the page.
"As expected, our Tony won this time again."
Banner casually closed the list.
At this moment, a few streets away from the coffee shop, a cheer erupted.
The cheers were mixed with a few curses.
Those were the people who had placed bets in the live broadcast hall, guessing who would win the Iron Man Day championship.
The so-called Iron Man Day.
It was actually a monthly Iron Man free-for-all in Dimension Continent.
All Iron Man would gather in an extra-reinforced area cordoned off by Lyon for a melee.
Whoever could defeat all other Iron Man and stand last would be the winner.
As for the other Iron Man.
They were scored and ranked based on their performance in the melee.
This ranking was actually useless.
At least, it was not officially recognized by Lyon at first.
Its origin.
Was at the beginning of the opening of Dimension Continent.
TVA employees from various Earths, and some specially selected individuals.
Came here with curiosity and friendliness, building houses, setting up laboratories, and engaging in exchanges.
Among these people.
The arrogant Iron Man gathered together.
The first thing they did was to prove that they were the smartest brain.
The method, naturally, was to compare the advantages and disadvantages of their respective armors.
Thus, the first Iron Man melee broke out.
Ultimately, Tony from S Universe won.
But as everyone knows, Tony Stark is a particularly stubborn creature.
Not a single Iron Man was truly convinced by Tony's victory.
They felt that after seeing the subsequent research direction of the armor, they would soon catch up.
So, there was a second Iron Man war.
And it was also given a name, called Iron Man Day—
Iron Man Day is held once a month, with a single winner declared the Strongest Iron Man.
For this, Lyon specially took action to help reinforce the battleground.
However, Lyon's involvement also meant that Iron Man Day received official recognition.
As a result, various other "Days" also increased.
Hulk Day, Captain America Day, Wanda Day, Quicksilver Day, Mage Day, Thor Day, Loki Day...
And today was the third Iron Man Day.
Tony from S Universe once again won without surprise.
"Banner, Captain, you're both here?"
With a bang.
Tony, wearing his Anti-Superman Armor, landed in front of the coffee shop.
His armor retracted like flowing water into his chest, and he pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Jarvis, get me a coffee, two spoons of sugar, thirty milliliters of milk!"
Tony raised his hand to signal the robot behind the counter.
Then, with an excited expression, he raised an eyebrow at Banner and Captain America.
"How about it? I won again, effortlessly. Oh, the Iron Man from other Earths are just too weak. It proves that I am indeed the smartest one."
Tony spoke indifferently, yet his eyebrows danced with excitement.
Defeating his counterparts from other Universes made him want to grab anyone and tell them about it.
Banner and Captain America exchanged glances, conveying a look of 'just as we expected'.
They knew Tony was going to come and humblebrag.
He still remembered the first time he won Iron Man Day.
Tony put a
"Multiverse's First Iron Man" sticker on his armor.
In what was then just a village-sized settlement, he walked from the village entrance to the village end, then turned around and walked back.
He greeted everyone he saw loudly along the way.
Then, with feigned surprise, he'd say: "What? How did you know I defeated all the other Iron Man?"
Thanks to this.
Tony can be said to be the most well-connected person in the current TVA, apart from Jarvis and Lyon.
"Gulp... gulp..."
After Tony finished telling Banner and Captain America how he defeated the other Iron Man.
He picked up the coffee Jarvis brought him and drank it all in one go.
He tapped the cup on the table, a satisfied sound rumbling in his throat: "This coffee brewed with spring water is really good, it relieves fatigue and has a wonderful taste."
Tony had already drunk too much zeus spring water.
So no matter how much he drank, he wouldn't feel his body gaining a large amount of vitality and undergoing transformation.
Now, he drank the coffee here purely for relaxation.
This might be a luxury for others.
After all, a cup of coffee cost five Dimension Coins.
And Dimension Coins could only be obtained by TVA employees saving Worlds, or by everyone accepting missions released by Jarvis on Dimension Continent.
Often, saving a World (making an Earth accept World integration) would only earn fifty Dimension Coins.
Some time ago, the missions Jarvis issued on Dimension Continent offered more rewards.
—Helping Black Strange attack Hades's Hell Dimension, with a reward of five hundred Dimension Coins.
But this mission was also very difficult; just the Skyfather-level strength requirement for the mission entry barrier blocked most people.
So, currently, everyone doesn't have many Dimension Coins.
Even if they accumulate a little, they'll spend it quickly.
Who made Lyon sell zeus spring water coffee, gene-enhancing fluid, gourmet cells, high-level gourmet food...
All of which could only be purchased with Dimension Coins.
Even Galan, who far surpassed the Cosmic level.
After eating the gourmet food Lyon brought back from the "Toriko" World.
Also embarked on the arduous path of earning Dimension Coins.
The only ones who didn't have to worry about Dimension Coins were probably only a few people.
Tony was one of them.
"Sir, your current credit limit has reached one thousand seven hundred and fifty-five Dimension Coins."
The robot controlled by Jarvis came over to record the debt.
"May I ask if you are charging this time or paying? Please note, if your debt is too high, you will be kicked out of Dimension Continent."
Tony waved his hand: "Keep putting it on my tab. It's just over a thousand, I'll pay it back next time!"
He was clearly a debt dodger.
Yet Tony still acted with the magnanimity of someone who used to spend lavishly.
As if he was still the billionaire he once was, even here.
He even told everyone.
Anyone affected by the coffee during Iron Man Day.
Could put the coffee on his tab.
It just highlighted his utter extravagance.
Making the Iron Man from other Worlds so envious they almost gnashed their teeth.
But in reality, Tony relied on the fact that no matter how much debt he accumulated, Lyon wouldn't kick him out of Dimension Continent.
"Alright, sir." Jarvis finished recording the debt and controlled the robot to return to the counter.
Banner and Captain America exchanged glances.
"Tony, since Iron Man Day is over, let's start the mission we agreed to do together," Banner said.
"Alright," Tony spread his hands. "Where are the others? Are they all ready?"
"Pietro and the others are all on our Earth. I'll notify them to come over." Banner began operating on his tablet.
Tony chuckled: "Ha, what a shame. If they had bet on me winning today, they would have made a huge profit in Dimension Coins again."
"In fact, everyone bet on you, so no one made any money... Alright, they're coming over."
Banner drank the last bit of coffee from his cup, then stood up.
A few minutes later.
The Avengers from S Universe stepped into the portal, heading to the mission World.
"Is there a description for this mission?" Hawkeye asked.
"It seems an Earth is ruled by a rogue anti-hero, and the Superheroes can only hide in the shadows."
"Our mission is to appease that anti-hero, and then, as usual, gain the trust of the Superheroes," Banner replied briefly.
"What's the anti-hero's name?" Captain America asked.
"His name is... Robert Reynolds!"
Chapter 590: Sentinel Bob
A pitch-black Shadow obscured Earth's night sky.
In the almost lightless World, there was no sign of life.
The Avengers floated in the air, supported by a gigantic magic carpet conjured by Banner.
Tony shivered as he gazed at the silent darkness.
"What the hell happened here? There's no light in the city, the sky is cloudless, but there's no starlight or moonlight."
The only light in the entire World seemed to come from Tony's armor.
Two small spotlights popped out from his shoulders, their circular beams piercing the darkness and illuminating New York City not far away.
But even under the intense light, all the buildings were pitch black, as if a black cloth covered the entire city.
"Guys, we might be in real trouble," Hawkeye said, pressing his tactical glasses.
"There are no biological heat signatures in this city. Everyone is dead."
"Holy moly."
Tony launched over a dozen small flying probes from his suit, sending them into the city.
The feedback from the cameras showed no human figures, not even a single corpse.
"Hawkeye, you're probably too optimistic. The people here aren't dead; they've all disappeared."
Hawkeye narrowed his eyes, "Disappeared? That situation reminds me of the alien invasion Universe in the database."
"Gentlemen, the actual situation might be worse."
On the magic carpet, Natasha and Yelena, the sisters, half-squatted, reviewing data on a time tablet, and suddenly spoke up.
"I can assure you, none of you bothered to read the data Jarvis uploaded before you came."
Natasha flipped the tablet around for everyone to see, "The intelligence Jarvis sent states—"
"Robert Reynolds, also known as Bob, is a Superhero called Sentinel in some Worlds."
"According to data from some Worlds, he was born into a family with an alcoholic father, was frequently abused by his father during childhood, and developed psychological conditions like imposter syndrome…"
"Imposter syndrome? What's that?" Captain America asked directly, not understanding.
"Simply put, it's self-negation, believing you don't deserve success or happiness," Natashaexplained.
"So, extreme low self-esteem? He sounds like a poor kid. Please continue, Natasha."
"Yes, Bob believed he wasn't worthy of recognition, and he also developed a drug addiction during his growth."
Natasha quickly summarized the information she had browsed earlier.
"He was supposed to live a muddled life, but the Auris Corporation's superhuman experiment changed him."
"The purpose of that experiment was to create superhumans with thousands of times the power of a stellar explosion."
"Bob was the only experimental subject who survived, and he truly possessed unimaginable power."
"Afterward, Valentina, the hidden controller of Auris Corporation, tried to manipulate Bob and implanted a bomb in his mind."
"In other Worlds where Sentinel existed, Valentina's conspiracy led to Sentinel losing control and going berserk, but fortunately, it didn't cause too much damage in the end."
"And this Earth we are currently on…"
Natasha stopped speaking.
She suddenly turned her head to look at the boundless darkness behind her.
The others immediately followed her gaze with vigilance.
Tony's ultra-high lumen searchlight shone over.
The blinding light cut through layers of darkness, illuminating a phantom-like figure floating in the air.
To say it was illuminated wasn't quite right.
Because even under the searchlight's glow, the figure remained as black as a Shadow.
The only things reflecting light were his eyes, as cold and desolate as a winter ice lake.
"So, this Mr. Charcoal is the berserk Sentinel?" Tony frowned, habitually giving him a nickname first.
"Exactly," Natasha took a deep breath.
"Sentinel seems to have a second personality, called the Void."
"When the Void controls the body, it can fully unleash that power of thousands of times a stellar explosion."
"And when Sentinel's own personality controls the body, he can only use a small portion of his power while suppressing the Void."
Captain America's expression turned grim after hearing this. "He sounds like someone even more powerful than Thor."
"Everyone, prepare. It seems if we want to appease this Sentinel, we must first defeat him."
"Wait," Tony looked at Captain America. "Do we need to appease a guy who massacred the entire globe? I think we should just kill him."
He pointed at his mask. "Forgot to mention, those Shadows covering the city and the sky are blocking electromagnetic waves, preventing me from connecting to satellites."
"But from the probes' perspective, the land and oceans around New York are already covered by Shadows."
"Jarvis's sub-units estimate that the entire Earth is very likely in this state."
"Which means he has already killed everyone on Earth."
Tony's words served as a warning to everyone.
Captain America frowned in thought, then shook his head in denial. "No, Jarvis's mission was to appease him. In his judgment, this Earth might still be saved!"
Captain America gazed around, then threw his shield into the darkness.
He remembered that direction was a wall, and with his precise control, the shield should bounce back after impact.
But Captain America maintained his catching posture, yet he heard no sound of the shield hitting a wall.
"No impact sound. This indicates that those Shadows might have a devouring or space-transferring effect."
Captain America was now a person who had traveled through the Multiverse.
His rich experience allowed him to make an immediate judgment.
"Perhaps the humans on Earth are in the transferred space."
"Guys, be careful not to touch those Shadows. After we defeat Sentinel, we might be able to save humanity!"
Captain America's judgment was reasonable, and Tony didn't retort.
"Then let's give it a try, Mr. Charcoal with stellar power."
Tony's armor popped out numerous floating spherical lights, illuminating an area of several kilometers around them.
Captain America pointed two fingers on his right hand towards Sentinel, beginning to coordinate and command everyone.
"Hulk has no room to perform due to the terrain limitations. Banner, you and Hawkeye provide long-range fire."
"Natasha, Yelena, put on your nano-suits and follow Tony for fire harassment."
"Carter and I will cooperate with Wanda to try and investigate those Shadows."
"Pietro, Pietro, don't run around."
Due to the busy schedule of the TVA, not many people attended this 'gathering'.
People like Wong, Mordo, Diana, and Kara did not participate.
But Captain America didn't feel too much pressure.
He believed that even if only half of the Avengers came, dealing with Sentinel should be no problem.
"Operation start!"
Everyone moved simultaneously.
The Natasha sisters' battle suits enveloped them, and they charged towards the pitch-black Sentinel alongside Tony.
Banner controlled the magic carpet to fly aside, giving Hawkeye room to maneuver.
Captain America and Carter attached flight devices to their ankles and followed Wanda, flying towards the buildings covered by Shadows.
As for Pietro, Pietro pouted, blew air from his mouth, lifting his bangs, and was filled with speechlessness.
