Arishem's colossal arm displayed visible, catastrophic damage. A boundless ocean of cosmic energy violently hemorrhaged from the wound, but the exact microsecond it leaked into the vacuum of space, it was instantly devoured by the nascent Celestial.
Currently, the infant Celestial under Su Mu's absolute control was functioning as a supreme cosmic amplifier. Boosted by the terrifying, exponential reach of Energy Absorption, the cosmic "blood" spilling from Arishem's wounds was violently consumed, serving as high-octane fuel to push Su Mu's combat output even higher!
The two planet-sized titans clashed violently in the cosmic void. Endless shockwaves of raw, apocalyptic energy scattered in every direction, annihilating everything in the surrounding space!
Arishem casually folded the fabric of space itself, forging a blade of pure spatial compression that slashed toward Su Mu. However, wielding the absolute spatial authority of the Limitless, Su Mu effortlessly countered. He instantaneously teleported right next to Arishem, violently thrusting a multi-kilometer-long dagger of pure imaginary mass directly at the Prime Celestial's back.
But Arishem, possessing the supreme combat awareness of a being that had existed since the dawn of time, was not so easily ambushed. He aggressively surged his cosmic energy to reinforce his physical vessel, swinging a fist the size of a small moon directly at Su Mu, landing a devastating, point-blank blow.
The apocalyptic kinetic force violently erupted against the surface of the nascent Celestial's body... yet failed to inflict a single scratch!
Vector Manipulation completely dominated the physical laws of the impact! Su Mu forged an absolute vector axis directly in front of himself, perfectly gathering the entirety of Arishem's planet-shattering kinetic force, multiplying it, and violently reflecting it straight back at the Prime Celestial!
This terrifying, reflected vector completely bypassed Arishem's cosmic defenses, violently piercing straight through his chest! It tore open several mountain-sized, catastrophic wounds, leaking searing, blinding cosmic energy that violently warped the surrounding spacetime.
Arishem was injured!
A supreme, primordial Celestial had actually been wounded by a mere mortal!
Although the catastrophic wounds rapidly began to heal, Arishem felt a surge of absolute, unadulterated fury. This was pure blasphemy! It was an unforgivable insult!
As the high-and-mighty Judge and the absolute leader of the Celestials, when had he ever been subjected to such a humiliating strike?!
"You deserve death!"
Arishem's booming voice echoed across the void. However, this was no longer the cold, indifferent decree of a cosmic judge; it was heavily laced with absolute, personal rage!
He had finally, officially elevated Su Mu to the status of a genuine threat. He could no longer afford to casually ignore the mortal!
An apocalyptic surge of cosmic energy violently erupted from Arishem the Judge. This was an output dense enough to instantaneously vaporize the entire Solar System and beyond!
Arishem seized absolute control over the surrounding spacetime, aggressively suppressing Su Mu's energy field. Under the crushing, god-like pressure of the Prime Celestial, the physical vessel of the nascent Celestial began to rapidly decompose and tear apart!
Simultaneously, a blinding, colossal energy beam—packing the absolute destructive yield of a hypergiant star—coalesced in front of Arishem and violently blasted toward Su Mu!
Previously, Arishem had merely been looking down upon an insect, issuing a casual judgment without employing even a fraction of his true might. But having been physically wounded, his cosmic pride was shattered. He unleashed a terrifying portion of his true power!
Faced with this apocalyptic stellar beam, Su Mu controlled the nascent Celestial to casually slice open the fabric of reality. A sparking Mystic Portal, larger than a terrestrial planet, spun open directly in front of him.
Arishem's devastating energy beam plunged straight through the portal, instantaneously exiting a second portal that opened directly behind the Prime Celestial, striking him squarely in the back!
However, because this reflected attack lacked the conceptual bypass of Vector Manipulation, the absolute durability of the Celestial's cosmic armor held firm. The energy blast, capable of wiping out multiple solar systems, washed over Arishem without leaving a mark.
Looking at the rapidly deteriorating body of the nascent Celestial, Arishem roared with absolute fury.
"I will seal you in the deepest, darkest abyss of the cosmos! I will burn your soul for all eternity, forcing you to suffer through agonizing torment until the end of time itself! That is the absolute price for blaspheming a Celestial!"
"Wow, that sounds terrifying. I think I'll pass on that..." Su Mu muttered casually to himself.
"You have no choice!"
Under the apocalyptic pressure of Arishem's cosmic energy, the nascent Celestial's body was rapidly failing. Even bolstered by the infinite output of three Infinity Stones, a prematurely awakened infant was simply no match for the Prime Celestial!
Su Mu knew this perfectly well. Without the physical vessel of the nascent Celestial acting as an amplifier, without the three Infinity Stones, and without his overpowered skill set, he wouldn't have been able to scratch Arishem.
This entire, apocalyptic battle had merely been a stalling tactic, all for this exact moment!
Seeing the nascent Celestial's body on the verge of total collapse, Su Mu flashed a brilliant, sadistic grin at Arishem.
"Great Judge, I'm afraid I must take my leave. But rest assured, the next time we meet, it won't be a minor scuffle like this... Next time, I will slaughter a god!
"But before I go, I've prepared a little parting gift for you. I hope you love it!"
A profound, chilling sense of cosmic dread washed over Arishem. "Don't even think about escaping!"
But he was too late. An energy signature vastly more terrifying than anything prior violently erupted from within the nascent Celestial. The three Infinity Stones flared with blinding, absolute radiance!
Inside the colossal head of the infant Celestial, Su Mu slashed open a Mystic Portal. He took a single step, cleanly phasing through the dimensional boundaries of the Marvel Multiverse, plunging into that unique, intersectional nexus universe!
With a second step, he vanished entirely from the Marvel Multiverse, arriving in another equally vast, boundless reality.
Arishem completely and utterly lost all traces of Su Mu. For the first time in countless eons, the Prime Celestial experienced genuine, blinding rage.
But before his fury could even fully process, an apocalyptic, incomprehensible surge of energy violently detonated from deep within the core of the nascent Celestial!
It was an unimaginably dense sphere of purple imaginary mass! Fueled by the infinite drain of three Infinity Stones, exponentially amplified by the nascent Celestial's vessel, and perfectly refined by Su Mu's absolute skill mastery, he had secretly forged a planet-sized Hollow Technique: Purple and sealed it within the infant's core!
The exact microsecond Su Mu severed his connection, it detonated!
This absolute, space-shattering conceptual force instantaneously annihilated the surrounding cosmic void, its raw power so immense that it actually punched a temporary, gaping channel straight into an adjacent parallel universe!
The terrifying, apocalyptic shockwave expanded at hyper-light speeds, completely engulfing the towering Prime Celestial.
Arishem desperately attempted to execute a spatial jump to evade the conceptual erasure, but the localized spacetime had been violently scrambled by the blast. He was trapped!
BOOM!
The apocalyptic purple energy slammed point-blank into Arishem. His celestial armor—a material hundreds of times harder and denser than pure Adamantium—violently, catastrophically shattered, completely exposing the glowing, pure-energy entity hidden within!
"SU MU!!!"
Arishem's roar, infused with boundless cosmic energy, violently rippled across the entire universe. Nearly every advanced civilization in the cosmos heard the agonizing, furious roar of the Prime Celestial!
The Skrull Empire, the Kree Empire, the Shi'ar Empire, and countless other cosmic civilizations were thrown into absolute, paralyzing chaos.
Who in the name of the cosmos had managed to drive a primordial Celestial into such a state of agonizing fury?!
They all burned the name "Su Mu" into their databanks, immediately launching frantic, deep-space investigations to uncover the origin of this entity.
Due to their previous interactions with Earth via Captain Marvel, the Kree Empire, led by the Supreme Intelligence—a galactic supercomputer capable of scanning vast swathes of cosmic data—was the first to uncover the truth behind the name.
"What?! He is merely an Earthling?! How is this mathematically possible?!"
"Even if his combat metrics are slightly above average for a terrestrial mortal, it is fundamentally impossible for him to enrage a Celestial to this degree!"
"Did his power output undergo an infinite, exponential leap in a matter of days, allowing him to genuinely threaten a space god?!"
"What exactly did this Earthling do to make the Prime Celestial lose all cosmic composure?!"
They could never, in their wildest simulations, imagine that Su Mu had mentally enslaved a nascent Celestial, waged war against the Prime Celestial, and actually managed to heavily wound a primordial god!
Back at the original coordinates of Earth's solar system, several impossibly massive, towering figures gracefully phased out of the cosmic void. They looked at Arishem the Judge—whose cosmic armor had already rapidly reformed—with profound, absolute shock. Infinite cosmic energy rippled from their bodies, betraying their emotional turbulence.
Even though Arishem's outward appearance had returned to normal, Celestials never judged by physical appearances; they observed the absolute essence of energy.
And within their cosmic perception, Arishem's fundamental energy core had visibly diminished! Even if the drop was slight, it didn't change the absolute, terrifying reality: he had sustained genuine, conceptual damage!
What in the cosmos had happened? Why was their eternal, immortal leader actually injured? Had one of the Five Cosmic Entities intervened? Or had a perfect host wielding a massive fragment of the Phoenix Force suddenly appeared?
They didn't even suspect Odin. Even if the All-Father donned the Destroyer Armor and fought at his absolute peak, he could never inflict genuine damage upon them; he would only be effortlessly swatted away. The dimensional gap between a Skyfather and a Universal-tier entity was like an ant gazing up at a human.
Arishem turned to the other Celestials, his voice ringing with grim, cosmic gravity.
"An absolute anomaly has appeared on Earth. An irregular entity with no parallel counterparts across the Multiverse. He enslaved the nascent Celestial incubating within the planet and utilized three Infinity Stones to wage war against me.
"I was careless. I was wounded by a conceptual mass forged from the absolute limits of spatial convergence and divergence..."
"Imaginary mass... that is the primordial prototype of absolute creation," another Celestial noted, his voice vibrating with cosmic awe. "Can this human truly manifest matter from nothing?"
"He cannot create matter yet," Arishem replied solemnly. "But this mortal possesses a terrifying, boundless potential. He might very well evolve into the next Scarlet Witch, or even the next Franklin Richards!"
The assembly of Celestials fell into a dead, suffocating silence. Hearing their Prime Judge make such a claim solidified its terrifying validity.
Who were the Scarlet Witch and Franklin Richards?
The Scarlet Witch, at her absolute peak, could effortlessly warp and rewrite reality across the entire Multiverse, possessing power that vastly eclipsed even the Celestials.
And Franklin Richards—a mutant who casually created entirely new pocket universes as a toddler—was an omnipotent being so absurdly powerful that the Celestials themselves were nothing but playthings to him.
For the Prime Celestial to declare that a human named Su Mu possessed the potential to reach Franklin's tier... the sheer cosmic implications left even the space gods paralyzed with shock!
Arishem issued his absolute, final decree.
"He is a highly unstable, apocalyptic variable. He will undoubtedly threaten the balance of the entire Multiverse and the cosmic order we have painstakingly forged!
"Find him. Eradicate him!"
In the next microsecond, the entire assembly of Celestials vanished from the void, scattering across the cosmos.
Back in Asgard, the Ancient One and Odin had been observing the void where Earth used to be. It was only after every single Celestial had vanished that they finally, heavily relaxed.
With Odin funneling his vast Skyfather energy to support her, the Ancient One carefully extracted the Solar System from the Mirror Dimension, perfectly restoring it to its original cosmic coordinates.
The two Skyfather-tier powerhouses stood in absolute, dead silence.
Everything that had just transpired had completely shattered their understanding of reality. Even with their millennia of wisdom, they had never witnessed something so absurdly, conceptually impossible!
Su Mu had actually, genuinely heavily wounded the Prime Celestial... and successfully escaped completely unscathed!
It was absolutely, terrifyingly unbelievable!
