Chapter 345
"Is this all you've got?" the Black-robed man sneered. With a wave of his hands, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, and a powerful suction force pulled Hode and Diana toward him.
Hode was startled; he felt as if his body had been grabbed by countless invisible hands, rendering him unable to move.
Diana also frowned, struggling with all her might, but the suction force was simply too powerful.
Just then, Natasha launched an attack from the side.
Her mechanical fingers ejected sharp spikes, stabbing toward the Black-robed man's legs.
The Black-robed man was forced to divide his attention; he kicked out, blocking Natasha's attack.
Felicia seized the opportunity to circle behind the Black-robed man, her tail whipping toward his back like a steel lash.
The Black-robed man seemed to sense the attack from behind; he spun around, dodging Felicia's strike, and simultaneously backhanded a black energy blade toward her.
Felicia was startled and hurriedly rolled to the side, but the energy blade still grazed her shoulder.
Blood instantly stained her clothes. Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, she pounced toward the Black-robed man again.
Wanda stood in the distance, closing her eyes and focusing her mind as Chaos Magic coalesced into a massive energy sphere in her hands.
She snapped her eyes open and threw the energy sphere at the Black-robed man.
The Black-robed man sensed the threat posed by the energy sphere; he quickly formed hand seals, and a black shield appeared before him.
The energy sphere collided with the shield, erupting in a dazzling light, and the powerful shockwave caused the surrounding ground to crack.
However, the shield only wavered slightly and was not broken.
"You are too weak," the Black-robed man sneered. "With power like that, you want to survive in this dimension?"
A surge of anger welled up in Hode's heart; he felt the power brought about by his intimacy with Natasha stirring.
It was an energy sparked by the tacit understanding and trust formed over countless battles.
He shouted, "Natasha, we cannot continue to fight on our own like this!"
Natasha nodded. She and Hode exchanged a glance, and both instantly understood the other's intention.
Hode combined the power of the Infinity Stones with Natasha's mechanical technology, and a brilliant light erupted from their hands.
The light transformed into a massive beam of energy, firing toward the Black-robed man.
The Black-robed man's expression shifted slightly; he hadn't expected Hode and Natasha to be capable of unleashing such power.
He hurriedly reinforced his shield's defense, but the power of the energy beam was simply too great, and cracks began to appear on the shield.
"Hmph, interesting," the Black-robed man snorted. With a wave of his hands, the surrounding space suddenly turned dark.
Countless black tentacles stretched out from the darkness, reaching for Hode and the others.
Hode and the others hurriedly dodged, but those tentacles seemed to have a life of their own, pursuing them relentlessly.
Diana's Lasso of Truth flickered with light in the darkness; she continuously swung the lasso, severing the encroaching tentacles.
Natasha utilized her mechanical fingers to fire lasers, repelling the tentacles.
Felicia used her agile movements to weave between the tentacles, searching for a flaw in the Black-robed man's defense.
Wanda focused her mind, attempting to use Chaos Magicto disperse the surrounding darkness.
In the heat of the battle, Hode felt the intimacy between himself and Felicia continuously increasing.
It was a special energy sparked by supporting each other on the edge of life and death.
A thought struck him, and he suddenly conceived a plan.
He shouted to Felicia, "Felicia, coordinate with me!"
Felicia understood immediately; she pounced toward the Black-robed man, drawing his attention.
Hode seized the opportunity to circle behind the Black-robed man. He combined the power of the Infinity Stoneswith Felicia's speed, instantly appearing behind the Black-robed man.
He clenched his fists and smashed them hard against the Black-robed man's back.
The Black-robed man sensed the attack from behind and hurriedly turned to block, but he was knocked back several steps by Hode's force.
"You ants, how dare you offend me like this!" the Black-robed man roared, an even more powerful aura emanating from his body.
He quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding darkness began to coalesce into a massive black beast.
The beast bared its fangs and brandished its claws, lunging toward Hode and the others.
As Hode and the others watched the beast lunging at them, a sense of despair welled up in their hearts.
But they knew they could not retreat now.
They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination.
Hode pushed the power of the Infinity Stones to the limit; he felt the power brought about by his intimacy with the four female superheroes all converging upon him.
"Everyone, attack together!" Hode shouted, charging toward the beast first.
Diana's Lasso of Truth, like golden lightning, struck toward the beast's eyes.
Natasha's mechanical fingers ejected countless throwing knives, firing at the beast's body.
Felicia used her agile movements to jump onto the beast's back, whipping it fiercely with her tail.
Wanda focused her mind, transforming Chaos Magic into a massive purple flame and spraying it into the beast's mouth.
The beast let out a pained roar, and its body began to sway.
Seeing the beast under attack, the Black-robed man's expression turned grim.
He waved his hands, attempting to control the beast to counterattack, but discovered it had already lost control.
Hode and the others seized the opportunity to increase the intensity of their attacks. Under their combined assault, the beast finally could not hold on and vanished into a cloud of black smoke.
Watching the beast disappear, a flicker of surprise and anger crossed the Black-robed man's eyes.
"You actually managed to defeat my beast," the Black-robed man said coldly. "However, this is far from enough."
As he spoke, he formed hand seals again, and the surrounding space began to twist violently.
A powerful energy storm was forming, as if it intended to devour everything.
Hode and the others sensed the threat posed by the energy storm; they huddled close together, preparing to face the final challenge.
Hode understood that this battle would determine their life and death, and whether they could continue to survive in this dimension.
He clutched the Infinity Stones tightly, feeling the warmth and strength of his companions beside him, his heart filled with firm conviction.
Chapter 505: We Won't Let You Hog the Spotlight Alone
Hode could clearly feel the suction at the center of the energy storm, as deep as a black hole, as if it wanted to tear their souls from their bodies.
His gaze swept over his companions: Diana's resolute face showed defiance amidst the twisted space; Natasha's mechanical fingers glowed with an eerie red light from overcharging; Felicia's pupils had narrowed into dangerous slits; Wanda's hands were trembling slightly from magical overload, yet she still clutched her incantations tightly.
"This isn't something we can endure by fighting alone this time." Hode suddenly pulled open his collar, revealing the faint, shimmering rune marks on his chest—the ancient contract patterns that naturally emerged during intimate contact with the four women.
He grabbed Diana's hand, pressing her Lasso of Truthagainst his chest; the golden light and runes resonated instantly. "Lend me your God of War Power!"
Diana's amber pupils contracted sharply; she felt that what surged within Hode was not just the energy of the Infinity Stones, but also mixed with some kind of bond power that transcended dimensions.
The Lasso of Truth emitted a clear, dragon-like hum, transforming into liquid gold that climbed up their clasped arms, coalescing into a translucent God of War phantom behind Hode.
"Natasha, link to my neural interface!" As Hode turned his head, a nano-blade had already pierced into the back of his neck.
The intense pain caused his irises to glow with blue light like a Data Stream, and he saw mechanical fingers probing through the wound to connect directly with his spinal nerves.
Countless combat memories exploded like an electric current, and in an instant, he mastered all of Natasha's assassination techniques and mechanical operation skills.
Felicia suddenly chuckled, her cat ears standing upright like sharp angles in the storm.
She leaped onto Hode's shoulder, the tip of her tail tapping his temple, leaving three bloody scratches as her nails grazed behind his ear.
Hode felt his five senses instantly amplified a hundredfold; he could even clearly hear the subtle sound of the Black-robed man's knuckles rubbing together while forming hand seals. Even more bizarrely, his body became lighter than Felicia's, and with every breath, he could perfectly predict the flow of the air.
"Chaos Magic... isn't used like that." Wanda suddenly pressed her burning forehead against Hode's back, and purple energy burrowed into his blood vessels like a living creature.
Fragments of countless parallel Worlds exploded before Hode's eyes. He saw himself and Wanda fighting side-by-side in every timeline; those forgotten vows and unspoken affections materialized, coalescing into a swirling vortex of causality in his palm.
The Black-robed man finally changed color.
He watched helplessly as four phantoms simultaneously appeared behind Hode: the Amazon God of War, the mechanical assassin, the dark night cat demon, and the Chaos Witch. Four distinct powers were merging frantically, with the Infinity Stones as the hub.
The spatial storm was torn apart before it could even form; countless translucent arms reached out from the twisted dimensional cracks—it was actually the previously devoured dark matter giant wolves wailing.
"Impossible... dimensional rules do not allow for this level of fusion!" The Black-robed man retreated frantically, dark red liquid seeping out from under his black robe.
He formed even more complex hand seals with his hands, only to see Hode suddenly vanish from where he stood.
Natasha's mechanical vision captured the trajectory: Hodecompleted seven spatial folding jumps within 0.03 seconds, appearing in the Black-robed man's defensive blind spot every time.
His fist was wrapped in Diana's God of War Power, Natasha's kinetic augmentation, Felicia's resonance frequency, and Wanda's causality tearing; wherever he passed, even space was left with scorched, blackened marks.
The Black-robed man barely managed to block this heavy blow, but the armor on his arms shattered like glass.
He discovered with horror that starlight not belonging to this dimension was flashing in Hode's eyes—it was the combat wisdom borrowed from resonating with the souls of the four women, spanning across timelines.
"You don't understand what a bond is at all." Hode's voice carried a four-fold resonance. He grabbed the Black-robed man's throat with his left hand and pressed his open right hand against his chest.
Diana's God of War Power transformed into chains that pierced through his shoulder blades; Natasha's nanobots burrowed into his heart through the wound; Felicia's neurotoxin seeped into his spine through his fingertips; and Wanda's Chaos Magic planted an inverted purple cross deep within his soul.
The Black-robed man let out an inhuman scream; his body began to quantumize and decompose, but was forcibly held in a material state by the four powers.
Hode could clearly see the black runes wriggling deep within his soul—they were clearly the brand of some higher-dimensional existence.
"Speak! Who sent you?" Hode increased his grip, the four types of energy clashing frantically inside the Black-robed man's body.
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly tightened automatically, and the marks around his neck glowed with golden light. "Reveal the mastermind, or be trapped forever in the cracks of causality."
The Black-robed man's mask developed spiderweb-like cracks, revealing the bloodshot eyeballs beneath.
He suddenly revealed an eerie smile, his imprisoned body actually beginning to actively absorb the energy of Hodeand the others.
"You think... this can stop... His arrival..." His voice suddenly turned into countless overlapping echoes, as if countless existences were speaking at the same time.
Hode's heart constricted violently; he recognized this energy fluctuation—it was identical to the abnormal fluctuation that had caused the dimensional cracks to expand earlier.
Just as he was about to press for an answer, the Black-robed man's body suddenly expanded into a black Sun, and countless tentacle-like energy bodies exploded outward from it.
At the tips of these tentacles, crimson slit pupils opened, and in each eye, scenes of doomsday from different dimensions were reflected.
"Beware of the illusions!" Wanda suddenly spat out blood; the protective shield she had forcibly constructed with Chaos Magic was being eroded by some higher-level spiritual corruption.
Hode saw Natasha's mechanical eyeball begin to rotate uncontrollably, and Felicia's tail puff up into a fluffy ball—that was an stress response of felines when extremely terrified.
Diana's Lasso of Truth let out a mournful cry, its golden light flickering in the darkness.
She suddenly snapped the lasso, wrapped it around Hode's waist, and pulled him behind her: "It's conceptual-level corruption! He is corrupting the foundation of our cognition!"
Hode felt as if his brain had been stuffed into a scorching meat grinder, with countless contradictory bits of common sense rampaging between his neurons.
He saw Diana's shield turn into wriggling flesh, Natasha's mechanical limbs grow blood vessels, Felicia's tail turn into a flickering stream of code, and Wanda's Chaos Magic turn into countless weeping baby faces.
"Close your eyes! Look at my chains!" Diana's voice sounded as if it were coming from under water.
Hode felt a cold metal ring placed around the back of his neck, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Diana using the Lasso of Truth to tie herself and him to the base of the God of War statue.
Those tentacles suddenly twisted into a Mobius strip three meters away from them, as if they had hit an invisible barrier.
"This is..." Hode panted, realizing that the other three had gathered around him at some point.
Natasha's mechanical fingers were injecting a pale blue liquid into his temple, the tip of Felicia's tail was pressed against his brow to deliver a sedative, and Wanda's hands were pressed against his back, with her Chaos Magicforming a stable purple vortex.
"Shared cognitive anchor point." Wanda was smiling despite blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, "The memory fragments of the four of us are enough to construct a temporary cognitive firewall."
Hode suddenly understood, and countless images flashed before his eyes: the morning light of Diana teaching young warriors on Paradise Island, the stormy night of Natasha at the Red Room training camp, the silhouette of Feliciadancing with the moonlight on the rooftops, and the ice crystals Wanda condensed over the ruins of Sokovia.
These memory fragments turned into solid chains, tightly wrapping the five of them into a glowing cocoon.
The roars of the man in the black robe came from all directions: "Foolish! Do you think this can resist His will? When the dimensional tide reaches its peak, everything..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Outside the cocoon-shaped protective shield came a teeth-grinding chewing sound, and through the night vision shared by Felicia, Hode saw those black tentacles devouring each other...
After each tentacle was devoured, the remaining parts would become thicker, and the number of scarlet vertical pupils was also increasing exponentially.
"He is evolving." Natasha's mechanical vocal cords emitted a sharp alarm, "At this rate, the next attack will break through our cognitive defense."
Hode suddenly felt the Infinity Stones burning in his palm, and a certain long-dormant memory awakened.
He remembered that in a certain parallel World, he had used this stone to rewind the timeline of the entire galaxy by seven seconds.
But the cost that time was...
"Diana, can you hold on for three minutes?" He tore open the protective shield, letting the energy of conceptual pollution brush against his cheek.
His skin instantly carbonized and peeled off, only to be forcibly repaired by Diana's divine power, "I need to resonate with the Infinity Stones, but during the process, my defense will be at its lowest."
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly tightened around her own wrist, and golden blood flowed along the chain into Hode's body: "The oath of an Amazon warrior is older than time."
Natasha's mechanical fingers popped out twelve adrenaline syringes, all piercing into Hode's neck: "Remember, you owe me seven dates."
Felicia's tail wrapped around his waist, and her cat claws scratched a bloody symbol on his back: "If you die, I will turn the first kiss you stole into an urban legend for the entire Universe."
Wanda's fingertips touched his brow, and purple flames formed a bridge between the two: "This time... we rewrite the ending together."
Hode closed his eyes, letting the four types of energy explode within his body.
The Infinity Stones emitted a scream beyond the range of human hearing, and mathematical models of cosmic string theory appeared on his retinas.
Time began to layer, and he saw himself from countless timelines acting simultaneously: one version of himself was dismantling the black-robed man's energy structure, one was reconstructing the polluted dimensional rules, and one was deeply resonating with Wanda's causality vortex...
When Hode opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned into rotating Nebulas.
The man in the black robe had evolved into a giant creature covering half the sky, but at this moment, it stood motionless as if a pause button had been pressed.
Countless golden chains shot out from Hode's fingertips, with the end of each chain tethering the black-robed man from a different timeline.
"So that's how it is..." Hode's voice carried the roar of the birth of the Universe, and he held the hands of the four women simultaneously.
Diana's divine power turned into a javelin, Natasha's mechanical technology became the bowstring, Felicia's agility turned into the fletching, and Wanda's Chaos Magiccondensed into the arrowhead, "You were never an independent individual, but a stain where countless possibilities converge."
The moment the arrow left the string, the time flow of the entire dimension returned to normal.
But the man in the black robe discovered with horror that every possibility branch he had split into was being annihilated simultaneously.
His body was like a pencil drawing erased by a rubber, gradually disappearing from the edges, leaving only a final, unwilling roar: "You don't understand at all... He..."
The intense light of the explosion swallowed everything.
When Hode regained consciousness, he found himself lying on Diana's lap.
Natasha was using her mechanical fingers to repair his charred right hand, Felicia was using her tail to hold a water pouch to feed him, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was wandering over his wounds like fireflies.
"We..." Hode just started to speak when Natasha suddenly covered his mouth.
She pointed to the sky—at the original dimensional rift, an eye made of Nebulas was slowly opening.
"The game has just begun, handsome." The tip of Felicia's tail brushed lightly across his Adam's apple, and in the distance came the whistling sound of Iron Man's armor cutting through the air, with Superman's red cape appearing and disappearing among the clouds, "But this time, we won't let you hog all the spotlight alone."
Chapter 505: Which one of you clogged the Multiversetoilet?
Hode tried to lift his body, but was pressed back by Dianaonto her battle skirt adorned with starlight.
The temperature from her palm was completely different from Amazon divine power, carrying a certain reassuring tremor.
"Don't move yet," her hair fell onto Hode's cheek, "Your cells are undergoing their seventh quantum reorganization."
Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly stopped in mid-air, and swarms of nanobots aggregated into a miniature display screen between her fingers.
In the holographic projection, that Nebula eye was collapsing into a Klein bottle structure at a rate exceeding the speed of light.
"It is analyzing our combat data," her mechanical voice rarely carried anxiety, "In three minutes, all attack patterns will be reverse-engineered."
Felicia's cat ears suddenly turned to the east, and cold sweat seeped from between the fur bristling on her tail.
"Darling, the contract pattern on the back of your neck is burning," as her fingertips traced Hode's spine, the cold neurotoxin made the scorching pain even clearer, "A certain dimension is peeping into our memory palace through you."
Wanda suddenly curled up and knelt on the ground, Chaos Magic uncontrollably pouring out from her seven orifices, etching constantly rearranging geometric patterns on the ground.
"Not peeping... it's devouring..." her trembling fingertips grabbed Hode's wrist, and purple energy surged into his chest along his veins, "It is eating my causality anchor point!"
Iron Man's armor crashed down thirty meters away, Jarvis's alarm sound mixing with the hum of the arc reactor.
"Detected level 12 spatial curvature anomaly!" Tony Starkslammed open his deformed faceplate, coffee stains forming a funny smudge on his chin, "Which one of you clogged the Multiverse toilet?"
Superman's red cape streaked across the sky like a burning meteor, but suddenly stopped abruptly 600 meters from the battlefield.
His azure pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks, and after his Kryptonian vision penetrated the dimensional mist, his Adam's apple rolled violently as he spat out two syllables: "Brainiac..."
Hode felt the Infinity Stones boiling in his chest, and those abilities gained through intimate contact were now tearing at each other.
Diana's God of War Power was scorching his alveoli, Natasha's mechanical neural synapses were growing wildly in his bone marrow, Felicia's feline genes were causing his irises to split into quadruple compound eyes, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was rewriting the emotional modules of his cerebellum.
"I need... to separate the anchor points..." his hoarse voice startled the passing ravens, and five vibrations of different frequencies were emitted from his throat simultaneously.
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly tightened around his wrist on its own, the golden light turning into flowing cuneiform script, carving reverse-written scriptures onto the surface of his skin.
Natasha's mechanical eyeball suddenly rotated 360 degrees, and swarms of nanobots pieced together a holographic chessboard in her eye socket.
"Hode, listen," her mechanical fingers pierced her own carotid artery, extracting a vial of blue blood shimmering with Data Stream, "You have backup memories of four parallel Universes in your body, but your core processor is overloaded."
Felicia's tail wrapped around Hode's neck, the vertical pupils of the feline reflecting countless overlapping timelines.
"Baby, do you remember when we first kissed?" Her sharp fingernails sliced open his collarbone, and dark red blood droplets floated in the air to form a Fibonacci spiral, "Back then you said my pheromones were like..."
"Like lightning-struck black truffles." Hode suddenly interjected, and fragmented memories reorganized in his brain.
He remembered that in a certain erased timeline, he had used Felicia's night vision to carve ice roses in absolute darkness, and those ice crystals sealed their unspoken good mornings and good nights.
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly wrapped around everyone gently, and the starry sky of Sokovia emerged in the purple vortex.
"Hode, look into my eyes," her broken fingertips brushed across his brow bone, "Do you remember the names we gave to the children in the parallel World? Elizabeth Star-Trace, or..."
"Or James Causality." Hode's voice suddenly became ethereal; Diana's God of War totem appeared in his left eye, Natasha's mechanical gears rotated in his right eye, and Felicia's feline vertical pupils and Wanda's Chaos Nebula lit up on either side of his nose bridge.
The Infinity Stones floated up from his chest, turning into a dodecahedron crystal embedded in the palms of the four clasped hands.
Superman's Heat Vision suddenly swept across the battlefield, but was weirdly refracted toward the sky before touching the energy field.
He hovered in mid-air, watching the five people below rise slowly, entwined with energy chains, as a resonance beyond Kryptonian scientific cognition was reorganizing the structure of reality.
"Karl," Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly wrapped around Superman's ankle, "We need your Sun core as a stabilizer."
Iron Man's armor suddenly disintegrated into a swarm of nanobots, Tony's scream drowned out in the roar of mechanical reorganization.
"You lunatics! Do you know that reconstructing the quantum structure of the Ark Reactor requires..." His voice stopped abruptly, because he saw his nanobots dancing with Wanda's Chaos Magic, weaving geometric shapes in the void that exceeded the cognition of Dr. Manhattan.
The tip of Felicia's tail suddenly pierced into the back of Hode's neck, and the contract pattern erupted with black light that swallowed the light.
She compressed the memory fragments of herself and Hode from twenty-seven parallel Universes into a data packet and injected it into the Infinity Stones via the neural interface.
"Remember, darling," the breath she exhaled into his ear carried the scent of blood and rust, "Next time we kiss, I want you to say good night for all timelines simultaneously."
Natasha's mechanical heart suddenly burst open, revealing the beating crystal core inside.
She pressed the core into Hode's chest, and the swarm of nanobots crawled all over his body along his blood vessels.
"This is not a sacrifice," she revealed a relieved smile beneath her broken mechanical mask, "It's an investment, understand? After defeating this cosmic-level bastard, you have to accompany me to drink tequila in every parallel Universe."
Diana's shield and spear shattered simultaneously, and her divine power turned into liquid gold and poured into the energy field.
She pressed Hode's hand against her own heart, where a mechanical heart forged by Hephaestus was beating.
When the Amazon spoke in the name of love, her tears fell into the Energy Vortex, turning into burning meteors, making even the gods of Mount Olympus retreat.
Five distinct energy flows collided on the surface of the Infinity Stones, creating a glare like a supernova explosion, and Hode felt his consciousness being torn into countless fragments.
He saw Diana blocking a dark matter spear for him in a certain timeline, Natasha smiling at him on the torture rack of the Mechanical Inquisition, Felicia's tail wrapping around their child as they stood in the ruins of the apocalypse, and Wanda's Chaos Magic lifting thousands of reborn Earths.
"So... this is how it is..." Hode's voice sounded from all dimensions simultaneously, his body began to decompose into quantum states, but was reorganized into a new form under the traction of the four bonds of power.
The Infinity Stones turned into liquid and drilled into his spine, forming a glowing constellation tattoo on the back of his neck.
The Nebula eye suddenly let out a dying wail; it tried to close the dimensional channel, but discovered that the dodecahedron crystal was absorbing its source energy.
When Hode opened his eyes, star charts of the entire Multiverse flowed within his pupils; he snapped his fingers lightly, and the energy remaining from the black-robed man was compressed into a beating black heart.
"It's time to talk about the mastermind behind the scenes." His voice caused sharp pain to Superman's Kryptonianhearing, and Iron Man's nanobot swarms suddenly crashed collectively.
The black heart beat in his palm, and whispers from a certain existence across dimensions emerged on its surface; those syllables themselves were distorting the laws of reality.
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly tightened around the black heart, and the morning mist of Paradise Island emerged in the golden light.
"Answer my question first," her God of War Power caused the Earth to crack and form lava gullies, "When your Master sent you here, did he mention the final protocol?"
Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly pierced into the black heart, and Data Stream poured into Hode's consciousness along her blood vessels.
"They are collecting emotional energy," her mechanical eyeball projected an energy network on the scale of the Milky Way Galaxy, "Fear, desire, regret... all emotions that can shake causality are their fuel."
Felicia's tail wrapped around the black heart, and the vertical pupils of the feline reflected the scene in the dimensional crack.
"Little cutie, do you know why you were chosen as the container?" She licked the blood off her fingertips, the droplets forming a Klein bottle structure in the air, "Because your contract pattern can carry four supreme emotions simultaneously, just like..."
"Just like a perfect container prepared for a certain existence." Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly materialized into countless baby faces; those faces opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting a scream that transcended human hearing.
The black heart exploded in her palm, but the gushing energy was completely absorbed by the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck.
Iron Man's armor suddenly sounded an alarm, Jarvis's voice carrying rare panic: "Sir, I have detected that Mr. Hode's bio-electrical signal is... is..."
The fundamental laws of physics were being rewritten. Superman hovered at the edge of the energy field, his Heat Vision forming a stable halo around Hode. Every one of his cells was undergoing dimensional folding. This was not human... no, this was an evolutionary form beyond any known carbon-based life.
Hode suddenly turned his head to look into a void. His gaze pierced through thirty-seven dimensional barriers, locking eyes with a certain entity. That entity was surrounded by a throne woven from shattered timelines, and every breath it took created or annihilated galaxies. When its gaze swept over Hode, the stars across the entire Universe dimmed simultaneously for 0.003 seconds.
"So, it's you." Hode's voice sent ripples through the fabric of reality. He raised his right hand, and a chain formed from four types of bond power emerged in his palm—the one who sowed regret across all timelines, using causality as nourishment...
The residual energy of the Black Heart suddenly reorganized at his fingertips, forming a burning letter. The wax seal on the envelope was a singularity constantly collapsing and reforming, and the recipient field bore every name Hode had used in twenty-seven parallel Universes.
"To my most perfect vessel..." As the letter unfolded automatically, blood-red text appeared on everyone's retinas. The characters writhed and grew on their retinas, transforming into memory fragments as they drilled into their optic nerves—in a certain erased timeline, Hode was holding a dying Wanda, standing in a rebuilt Sokovia, while Diana's shield was embedded in Brainiac's mechanical heart, Natasha's mechanical fingers were interlaced with his, and the tip of Felicia's tail was lifting a baby's swaddling clothes.
The moment the letter turned to ash in the wind, a deafening sound of gears grinding echoed from the depths of the dimensional rift. A transcendent entity reached out with tentacles made of causality, but they shattered like glass upon touching the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck. Its roar shattered the space-time continua of seven adjacent Universes, only to be rewritten into a lullaby's melody by the resonance of Wanda's Chaos Magic and Diana's God of War Power.
Hode scattered the ashes of the burning letter into the sky, where they reorganized into shimmering coordinates. "It seems we're going to the end of the Universe." He grasped the hands extended by the four women simultaneously, and the Infinity Stones bloomed in their clasped palms with a light that surpassed the Big Bang, but this time...
Iron Man's War Armor suddenly flew uncontrollably toward the center of the energy field. Tony's scream and the alarm of Superman's Heat Vision sounded simultaneously. In the instant before everyone was swallowed by the blinding light, the tip of Felicia's tail brushed lightly against Hode's Adam's apple; her residual body heat and a forgotten kiss remained forever in the folds of the quantum foam.
Chapter 505: To My Most Perfect Vessel
(Continued) Hode felt his consciousness disintegrating and reforming within the quantum foam, five distinct energy flows dancing a deadly tango in his spine. Diana's God of War Power surged through his veins like molten lava, Natasha's mechanical neural synapses gnawed at his bone marrow like a swarm of nanites, Felicia's feline genes caused his retinas to constantly split into new spectra, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was rewriting the time anchors in his hippocampus.
"Don't resist the fusion." Diana's voice came from all directions. Her Lasso of Truth had somehow wrapped around Hode's spine, the golden light turning into flowing cuneiform characters that carved reverse scriptures onto his skin. "Give your fear to me, just like entrusting your back to a comrade beneath the walls of Troy."
Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly pierced the contract tattoo on the back of Hode's neck, and a Data Stream surged into his cerebellum through the neural interface. "Remember when we were on a mission in Berlin?" Her mechanical voice carried static. "You blocked the Winter Soldier's bullet for me, but lied and said the bullet just happened to hit your pectoral muscle." The nanite swarm in her eye sockets formed a holographic chessboard, each piece representing a parallel Universethey had shared.
Felicia's tail wrapped around Hode's ankle, her feline slit pupils reflecting countless overlapping timelines. "Darling, do you remember those seven days we were trapped in the Quantum Realm?" Her sharp nails sliced open the skin on his waist, and dark red blood droplets suspended in the air to form a Klein bottle structure. "You said my pheromones could neutralize space-time curvature, and we almost..."
"Almost got our tongues eaten by a time mite." Hodeinterrupted, shattered memory fragments reorganizing in his mind. He recalled an erased timeline where he had used Felicia's night vision to carve ice roses in absolute darkness, those ice crystals sealing away the good mornings and good nights they never spoke. At this moment, those ice roses were blooming on his retinas, each petal inscribed with love words from different dimensions.
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly transformed into thousands of purple butterflies, drilling into his orifices and assembling the starry sky of Sokovia inside his cranial cavity. "Hode, look at my eyes." Her fractured fingertips brushed his brow bone, her pupils rotating with the afterimages of twenty-seven parallel Universes. "In the M-13 Universe, we named our daughter Lilith Twilight, and the first time she spoke, she restructured the gravitational field of all Eastern Europe."
Iron Man's War Armor suddenly decomposed into a swarm of nanites, Tony's scream mixing with the hum of the Arc Reactor: "You maniacs! Do you know how hard it is to reconstruct a quantum neural network? This is like teaching an octopus to play Chopin!" But those nanites defied their Master's will, weaving with Wanda's Chaos Magic in the void to form geometric shapes beyond the cognition of Dr.Manhattan, each facet reflecting a moment of Hode kissing different women.
Superman's Heat Vision suddenly swept across the energy field, but upon touching Hode's heart, it refracted eerily toward Brainiac's mechanical fleet. He hovered in mid-air, his Kryptonian vision piercing through the dimensional mist, his Adam's apple bobbing violently as he spat out three syllables: "Emotional weapon..." His cape fluttered without wind, the falling Kryptonian fibers forming a stable halo around Hode. "You are turning quantum entanglement into... into something more dangerous than the anti-life equation."
Hode felt the Infinity Stones taking root and sprouting in his spine, the abilities gained through intimate contact now growing new branches. Diana's God of War totem branded a golden scar on his left retinal, Natasha's mechanical gears carved a Data Stream into his right ear canal, Felicia's feline slit pupils fissioned into four-fold spectra on either side of his nose bridge, and Wanda's Chaos Nebulabloomed into an everlasting purple rose at his Adam's apple.
"So this is the ultimate form." His voice rang out from all dimensions simultaneously, his body beginning to quantum-decompose, yet reassembling into liquid metal under the pull of the four types of bond power. Natasha's nanites crawled up his neck along his blood vessels, forming a glowing neural interface at the nape of his neck; fragments of Diana's shield turned into liquid gold, casting a breathing heart-guard on his chest; Felicia's cat hairs pierced his fingertips, turning each nail into a blade capable of slicing through dimensions; and Wanda's Chaos Magicplanted flowering neural synapses in his spine.
Brainiac's mechanical fleet suddenly crashed en masse, love-letter-like cracks appearing on the surfaces of the metal obelisks floating in space. A civilization consciousness imprisoned within a quantum computer was sending a distress signal to the entire Universe through the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck—it was "I love you" written in twenty-seven languages, each character rewriting the topological structure of the surrounding space.
"They want emotional energy?" Hode suddenly grabbed the hand Superman extended. The Kryptonian's body heat reminded him of a forgotten snowy night. In a certain parallel Universe, they had stood side by side on the burning ruins of Metropolis, watching Diana use the Lasso of Truth to catch a falling satellite, Natasha's mechanical fingers repairing Tony's pacemaker, Felicia's tail curling around the last cookie, and Wanda's Chaos Magic spelling out a star map of a promising tomorrow in the night sky.
At this moment, those memory fragments were turning into liquid light, injecting into the Infinity Stones. Hode felt every one of his cells undergoing dimensional folding. He saw Diana correcting his spear grip in the Amazon training grounds, Hephaestus-forged mechanical heart beating in her chest; Natasha, while being tortured in the Mechanical Vatican, encoding the memory of their first kiss into a nanovirus and injecting it into the inquisitor's brain; Felicia, in the ruins of the apocalypse, teaching their daughter how to pick locks with her tail, those keyholes hiding the goodnight kisses Hode had left in all timelines; and Wanda's Chaos Magic holding up millions of reborn Earths, each surface inscribed with a variation of Hode's name.
"It's time to let the mastermind taste the bitterness of a broken heart." Hode's voice sent ripples through the fabric of reality. He raised his right hand, and a chain formed from four types of bond power emerged in his palm. The other end of the chain was connected to Brainiac's core processor, whose mechanical tentacles were secreting blue slime representing fear. Superman's Heat Vision suddenly cleared a path for him, and after his Kryptonian vision pierced the dimensional barrier, it illuminated a certain transcendent entity—its throne was woven from shattered timelines, and it could create or annihilate galaxies with a single breath.
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly wrapped around Hode's waist, the golden light turning into a flowing galaxy. "Remember the vow on the peak of Mount Olympus?" Her God of War Power caused golden stairs to rise beneath Hode's feet. "You said you would pluck stars that didn't belong to this dimension for me." At this moment, those stars were rotating in her eyes, each point of light an unfulfilled promise between them.
Natasha's mechanical heart suddenly burst open, revealing a fragment of the Bifrost Bridge beating inside. She pressed the fragment into Hode's palm, nanites crawling up his arm along the energy veins: "That time in the Asgardprison, you stole a Bifrost Bridge fragment saying you wanted to build a time machine." A Data Stream leaked from beneath her mechanical mask. "But you used it to roast marshmallows for me, making the entire Bifrost Bridge sickeningly sweet."
Felicia's tail wrapped around Hode's neck, her feline slit pupils reflecting the scene in the dimensional rift. "Little cutie, do you know why you were chosen as the vessel?" She licked the blood from her fingertips, the droplets forming a Klein bottle structure in the air. "Because your dopamine secretion pattern can activate four supreme emotions simultaneously, just like..."
"Just like a virus born specifically to harvest love." Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly materialized into countless baby faces. Those faces opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting a scream beyond human hearing. Hode felt his emotional module overloading, the memories compressed in the contract tattoo suddenly unlocking—in a certain timeline, he was holding a dying Wanda, standing in a rebuilt Sokovia, Diana's shield was embedded in Brainiac's mechanical heart, Natasha's mechanical fingers were interlaced with his, and the tip of Felicia's tail was lifting a baby's swaddling clothes.
"To my most perfect vessel..." As the burning letter unfolded in the energy field, blood-red text appeared on everyone's retinas. The characters writhed and grew on their retinas, transforming into memory fragments as they drilled into their optic nerves: in an erased Universe, the "705u.com-53 Reading Club," Hode was frying eggs with Diana's shield, Natasha's mechanical arm was stirring coffee, Felicia's tail was curling around a newspaper, Wanda's Chaos Magic was keeping a stroller suspended in the air, and outside the window, the figure of Supermanpushing the Moon forward was passing by.
Hode suddenly grabbed the hands extended by the four women simultaneously, and the Infinity Stones bloomed in their clasped palms with a light that surpassed the Big Bang. In that light, countless "ifs" appeared—if the Bat-Signal hadn't swept across them while they kissed on a Gotham rooftop, if they had danced one more song on the Asgard Bifrost Bridge, if they hadn't missed each other's distress signals in the Quantum Realm, if...
Iron Man's War Armor suddenly flew uncontrollably toward the center of the energy field. Tony's scream and the alarm of Superman's Heat Vision sounded simultaneously. In the instant before everyone was swallowed by the blinding light, the tip of Felicia's tail brushed lightly against Hode's Adam's apple; her residual body heat and a forgotten kiss remained forever in the folds of the quantum foam. Meanwhile, the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck suddenly began to rotate in reverse; an entity imprisoned in the rift of time was scratching at the glass curtain wall of Hode's memory palace with its nails—in its pupils rotated all the erased "ifs," each one tearing new cracks in the fabric of reality.
Chapter 506: After Vision Pierced His Transparent Body
Hode felt his consciousness disintegrating at the boundary between light and darkness. As the light of the Infinity Stones swallowed the entire dimension, the constellation tattoo on the back of his neck suddenly burned with heat, the reverse-rotating star trails carving spiderweb-like cracks into the wall of reality. A transcendent gaze was cast from the depths of the cracks, its breath carrying the echoes of twenty-seven annihilated Universes, making Hode's temples throb violently.
Chapter 346
Watch out! Diana's shield turned into liquid gold, wrapping around the back of his head, while the God of War Powerplowed scorched furrows through the void. Hode suddenly realized with a start that he was hovering directly above Brainiac's core processor. The blue slime secreted by those mechanical tentacles was corroding the surface of Diana's shield, making a tooth-grinding screech.
Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly stabbed into the console, and a Data Stream surged up the neural interface on her wrist: "Hode, his main brain is absorbing fear energy from the Multiverse!" The holographic chessboard in her eyes reorganized frantically, each piece turning into a projection of a screaming citizen. "We have to cut his emotional link to the timeline!"
Felicia's tail wrapped around Hode's waist, her feline vertical pupils narrowing into two golden lines: "Darling, remember that game we played in the ruins of the apocalypse?" Her sharp nails sliced open her own wrist, and dark red blood condensed into a Klein bottle structure in the air. "Use my pheromones as bait and your Chaos Magic as the net—"
—"And then use Diana's shield as the swatter?" Hodesuddenly grinned. This smile caused the Iron Man armor, which was currently analyzing energy fluctuation 873, to stutter for 0.3 seconds. The chains in his palm suddenly surged, and the power of the four bonds intertwined in the void into a brilliant neural network. "Wanda, manifest his fear!"
The Chaos Magic moved at his command, and ten thousand infant faces surged out from Hode's spine, each letting out a scream of a different pitch. Brainiac's mechanical tentacles suddenly stiffened, and that blue slime actually began to flow backward into the core processor. Superman's Heat Vision took the opportunity to pierce the energy core. The moment the Kryptonian Visionpenetrated the metal shell, everyone saw a suffocating scene—
In the deepest part of the core processor, countless time capsules compressed into amber-like states were suspended. Each capsule preserved a superhero's most vulnerable moment: Diana kneeling before the burning Amazon temple; Natasha with a HYDRA neurotoxin syringe inserted into her mechanical spine; half of Felicia's tail sliced off by a quantum storm; Wanda curled in a fetal position, clutching the ashes of Vision...
"These are..." Superman's cape billowed without wind, the Kryptonian fibers burning into ash-white stardust in the intense light. "Emotional parasites?"
"More like emotional leeches." Hode's voice suddenly became ethereal. His left eye had completely turned into Diana's God of War totem, and Natasha's Data Streamflowed through his right ear canal. They grew by feeding on the regrets and fears of superheroes. "705u.com-53 Reading Club" And Brainiac... He suddenly grabbed the hand Superman reached out, the Kryptonian's body temperature reminding him of a forgotten snowy night. "He is collecting our broken hearts."
Iron Man's armor suddenly decomposed and reorganized uncontrollably, the nanite swarm spelling out a massive Morse code in the void: "They are reconstructing the causality of the Multiverse!" Tony's scream mixed with the hum of the arc reactor. "Look at those time capsules! Each one is connected to a reality anchor!"
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly wrapped around Hode's ankle, its golden light turning into a flowing river of stars: "Hode, remember our promise on the peak of Mount Olympus?" Her God of War Power caused a golden staircase to rise beneath Hode's feet, each step engraved with scenes of them fighting side by side. "You said you would rebuild the Bifrost Bridge for me, which was destroyed by Hera."
Natasha's mechanical heart suddenly burst open, and fragments of the Bifrost Bridge rotated in her palm: "That time in the Asgard prison, you stole a fragment and said you'd build a time machine." Data Stream seeped from under her mechanical mask. "In the end, you used it to roast marshmallows for me, making the whole Bifrost Bridge sickeningly sweet."
Felicia's tail suddenly pierced into the contract patterns on the back of Hode's neck, and the civilized consciousnesses imprisoned in the quantum computer suddenly cheered. Her pheromones turned into countless golden butterflies, each wing reflecting a sweet moment from a parallel Universe: "Little cutie, do you know why we chose you as the vessel?" She licked the blood from her fingertips. "Because your dopamine secretion patterns can simultaneously activate four supreme emotions—"
—"Like a virus born specifically to harvest love." Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly manifested as ten thousand silver needles, each tip dripping with morning dew from different dimensions. "And now, it's time for this Universe to taste the backlash of love."
Hode felt his spine making the sound of shattering glass, and the Infinity Stones bloomed in his chest with a light that surpassed the Big Bang. Within that light, countless 'what ifs' emerged—what if Diana hadn't lost her lover in the Trojan War, what if Natasha's memories of the Red Room had been completely erased, what if Felicia had never experienced the clone rampage, what if Wanda's Chaos Magic had never spiraled out of control...
"No!" Brainiac's core processor suddenly let out an inhuman scream, and the compressed time capsules began to vibrate frantically. A scene sealed in a capsule suddenly exploded: in an erased Universe, Hode was frying eggs on Diana's shield, Natasha's mechanical arm was stirring coffee, Felicia's tail was holding a newspaper, Wanda's Chaos Magic was making a baby carriage float in the air, and outside the window, the silhouette of Supermanpushing the moon forward streaked past.
This image was like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, sending ripples through the structure of reality. Every superhero felt their heart gripped by an invisible hand, as an emotional impact stronger than antimatter annihilation struck their neural synapses. Iron Man's armor suddenly began playing 'Yesterday' uncontrollably, Tony's mechanical voice carrying a rare tremor: "Jarvis, turn the armor's sadness suppressor to the maximum setting..."
Hode suddenly grabbed the hands of the four women reaching out simultaneously, their palm lines fitting perfectly in the light of the Infinity Stones. The civilized consciousnesses imprisoned in the quantum foam began to sing in chorus, as 'I love you' in twenty-seven languages turned into waves of physical energy, actually etching poem-like patterns onto the surface of Brainiac's mechanical fleet.
"Now!" Hode's voice caused rainbow-colored ripples in the structure of reality. His body began to quantumly decompose, only to be reorganized into a prism form under the pull of the four bonds. Diana's shield turned into liquid gold to wrap the core processor, Natasha's nanite swarm surged up the energy pipes, Felicia's pheromones wove a golden net in the void, and Wanda's Chaos Magic lifted ten thousand reborn projections of Earth.
Superman's Heat Vision suddenly turned toward Hode. After his Kryptonian Vision penetrated Hode's transparent body, his Adam's apple bobbed violently as he spat out three syllables: "Emotional singularity..." His cape billowed without wind, and the falling Kryptonian fibers formed a stable halo around Hode. "You are creating something beyond logic..."
Brainiac's core processor suddenly exploded into a sky full of stardust, but the sealed time capsules began to grow in reverse. In the instant before everyone was swallowed by the intense light, Hode saw a scene in one of the capsules he had never seen before: in the rebuilt Sokovia Square, Diana was using the Lasso of Truth to fish out a falling satellite, Natasha's mechanical fingers were repairing Tony's heart pacemaker, Felicia's tail was curled around the last cookie, Wanda's Chaos Magic was spelling out a variation of Hode's name in the night sky, and the infant in Superman's arms was reaching out a small hand toward the reverse-rotating constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck...
As the structure of reality began to quantumly collapse, the tip of Felicia's tail lightly brushed against Hode's Adam's apple. Her lingering warmth and a forgotten kiss remained forever in the closing dimensional rift. Suddenly, the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck began to bleed. The blood droplets formed a Klein bottle structure in the air, and the mouth of the bottle slowly spat out an existence beyond form—within Its pupils rotated all the erased 'what ifs', each one tearing a new crack in the structure of reality.
Chapter 507: Pulling the Wedding Scenes of Twenty-Seven Dimensions Simultaneously Toward Reality Anchors
Hode felt his consciousness infinitely folding within the topological structure of the Klein bottle. The seeping blood droplets condensed into twenty-four-sided prisms in the void, each facet reflecting a kiss from a different dimension. Natasha's mechanical neural interface suddenly sparked with electrical fire; her Data Stream lingering in Hode's memory bank was undergoing quantum entanglement with a sealed kiss—it was the lingering scent of whiskey from when she had drunkenly bitten his lower lip after the Berlin mission three years ago.
"Your heart rate exceeds the mating wingbeat of a Black Widow spider." Natasha's mechanical pupils suddenly switched to rose-gold mode, and a nanite swarm formed a burning lip print on her collarbone. "Want to try a kiss enhanced by neurotoxins?" The nanite probe popping from her fingertip precisely pierced Hode's carotid artery, and the mixture of adrenaline and pheromones caused Gothic patterns to instantly crawl across his retinas.
Diana's shield suddenly let out the wail of Olympian divine iron, and the God of War Power turned into liquid gold, wrapping around the two entangled bodies. That gold solidified in the void into the ruins of the Trojan battlefield; linen robes blown by the sea breeze and Vibranium armor fell toward the Aegean Sea. "Hephaestus didn't consider this use when he forged this shield." Diana's breath carried the humidity of the Amazon rainforest, her fingertips tracing the new scratches on Hode's collarbone, where blood mixed with gold dust was seeping out.
Felicia's tail suddenly stabbed out from the quantum foam, her feline vertical pupils reflecting the overlapping silhouettes of Hode and Diana. "Little cutie, the tattoo on the back of your neck is getting jealous." Her blood-stained fingertip lightly tapped Hode's spine, and those reverse-rotating star tracks suddenly surged into a galactic vortex, wrapping the three of them in a Klein bottle made of memory fragments. Hode saw his sixteen-year-old self curled in a cloning pod, Felicia's clone using her tail to hold a nutrient solution syringe, while outside the pod, HYDRAsoldiers were grinning as they held flamethrowers.
"You were much more honest than you are now when you stole my memory chip." Felicia's canine teeth pierced Hode's earlobe, and pheromones whipped up a golden storm in the Quantum Realm. The tip of her tail flicked open Diana's golden bracer, revealing an old bullet wound on the Amazon warrior's wrist—it was left when Hodetook a shot from Crossbones' sniper rifle for her during the Civil War incident.
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly manifested as ten thousand glowing neural synapses, piercing through the curved surface of the Klein bottle and etching neuron-like cracks on the walls of reality. "Your love is reconstructing the synaptic connections of the Multiverse." Her red hair burned into Data Stream in the void, each strand hanging with memory capsules from different dimensions. "But the emotional leeches left by Brainiac..."
Her words were interrupted by Superman's roar as he tore through the atmosphere. The Kryptonian was diving down at speeds exceeding light, his cape trailing a comet-like tail of flame behind him. The solar storm condensed in his palm melted Brainiac's remaining fleet into liquid metal. "Hode!" His voice shattered the glass curtain walls of twelve dimensions. "The tattoo on the back of your neck is devouring reality anchors!"
Hode felt his spine emitting a roar like a pipe organ, and the civilized consciousnesses imprisoned in the quantum computer suddenly screamed in unison. He saw an erased Universe where he was using Diana's shield as a blackboard, installing chalk launchers on Natasha's mechanical fingers, Felicia's tail was holding a globe as a pointer, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was causing the classroom walls to constantly switch to starry skies of different dimensions.
"This is the real Multiverse fusion!" Tony's armor suddenly began playing 'We Are the Champions' uncontrollably, and a nanite swarm formed a giant 3D projection behind him—it was scenes of Hode kissing the four women across different timelines, each scene labeled with emotional fluctuation values precise to Planck time.
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly wrapped around Hode's ankle, its golden light turning into a flowing river of stars that pulled him toward a collapsing dimensional rift. "Remember what you said on the peak of Mount Olympus?" Her God of War Power caused a golden staircase made of memories to rise beneath Hode's feet, each step engraved with their unfulfilled promises: to kiss when rebuilding the Bifrost Bridge in the Amazon, to play Truth or Dare with the Lasso of Truth on the roof of Avengers Tower, to share a pair of headphones on top of the Gotham clock tower listening to Bach's Goldberg Variations...
Natasha's mechanical heart suddenly burst with Bifrost Bridge fragments, those energy crystals from the Asgardprison rotating in her palm like a miniature galaxy. "You stole more than just time machine parts." Liquid neurotoxin seeped from under her mechanical mask, condensing into burning love letters in the air. "Every time you get close, my bioscanner misreports it as a precursor to a nuclear explosion."
AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite
Felicia's tail suddenly pierced the contract mark on the back of Hode's neck, and the consciousnesses of twenty-seven imprisoned civilizations surged into the reality dimension along her pheromone channel.
Her slit pupils split into countless concentric circles, each ring reflecting sweet moments from different dimensions: in a parallel Universe's New York, Hode was using Diana's shield as a frying pan, Natasha's mechanical arm was mixing a martini, Felicia's tail was curled around a hardcover copy of "The Little Prince," and Wanda's Chaos Magic was making the son of Loki in the stroller giggle.
"Sweetie, do you know why your Chaos Magic always has a sweet taste?" Felicia's fangs gently grazed Hode's carotid artery. "Because every time you use your ability, you unconsciously replicate the dopamine secretion pattern from when we kiss."
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly manifested into thousands of silver needles, each tip dripping with morning dew from different dimensions. Those dewdrops converged in mid-air into a glowing neural network, trapping Brainiac's residual emotional leeches in a cage woven from memories. They shouldn't devour regrets. Her red hair brushed against Hode's trembling eyelashes. "They should taste what it's like to be overwhelmed by love."
Hode felt as if stellar lava was erupting from his temples, and the Infinity Stones bloomed within his chest with a radiance surpassing the Big Bang. Within that light, more erased "what-ifs" emerged: what if Diana had chosen humanity during the "Kingdom Come" event, if Natashahadn't deleted her memory backup on the eve of the "Secret Invasion," if Hode hadn't chosen the self-destruct sequence when Felicia's clone went berserk, if Wanda had received that unsent letter after "House of M"...
"No!" Brainiac's residual consciousness suddenly shrieked within the quantum foam, and those sealed time capsules began to reorganize frantically. A certain scene suddenly burst into stardust: on a corrected timeline, Hode was using Diana's shield as a sled, Natasha's mechanical fingers were adjusting Christmas tree lights, Felicia's tail was curled around mistletoe, Wanda's Chaos Magic was making it rain candy across all of Manhattan, and the baby in Superman's arms was using Heat Vision to draw a crooked heart in the night sky.
0 --- Seeking Flowers ---
This scene was like a star falling into a black hole's event horizon, stirring ripples in the structure of reality that surpassed the singularity. Every superhero felt as if their heart had been shoved into an overloading Arc Reactor, and an emotion hotter than the Big Bang was striking their neural synapses. Tony's armor suddenly began playing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" uncontrollably, and the nanite swarm behind him spelled out a huge, glowing slogan: "Hode, you owe us a wedding!"
Diana's shield suddenly turned into liquid gold, enveloping Hode's entire body, and the God of War Power etched an ancient Amazonian vow onto his skin. "You promised to teach me how to waltz." Her breath carried the scent of fresh snow from the peaks of Mount Olympus, and her fingertips traced the scars on Hode's back that represented different timelines. "At the end of all dimensions, all possibilities."
Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly pierced into Hode's spine, and the nanite swarm flowed upstream along his neural synapses. "Sweetheart, your dopamine levels are reconstructing causality." Her mechanical voice carried a rare gentleness, and her pupils swirled with the ashes of the Berlin Wall falling when they first met. "Are you ready to welcome the ultimate neurotoxin?"
...
The tip of Felicia's tail suddenly pierced Hode's heart, and those imprisoned consciousnesses surged into his blood along her pheromone channel. "Darling, do you know why the quantum computer chose you as the vessel?" Her fangs pierced her own tongue, passing blood mixed with pheromones into Hode's mouth. "Because your heartbeat frequency is exactly the half note of the Multiverse's heartbeat."
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly manifested into glowing neural synapses, entangling the four of them into a symbiotic entity that transcended dimensions. Hode saw light of different colors flowing through his veins: Diana's God of War Power was an amber twilight, Natasha's neurotoxin was liquid midnight, Felicia's pheromones were a golden dawn, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was a new Universe being born.
The emotional singularity has formed. Superman's Heat Vision pierced through the reality barrier that was becoming quantized, and Kryptonian fibers burned into the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy behind him. "You are creating something that transcends logic..."
Brainiac's final consciousness suddenly exploded within the quantum foam, and those sealed time capsules transformed into a glowing meteor shower. A certain scene suddenly froze on Hode's retina: on the rebuilt Bifrost Bridge of Asgard, Diana was using the Lasso of Truth to fish for a falling rainbow, Natasha's mechanical fingers were adjusting the Bifrost Bridge's brightness regulator, Felicia's tail was curled around Mjolnir as a selfie stick, Wanda's Chaos Magic was projecting "Marry Me" in the night sky, and the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck was bleeding. Those blood droplets formed a Klein bottle structure in the air, and the bottle's mouth slowly spat out an existence that transcended form—its pupils swirling with all the erased wedding marches, each note tearing a new rift in the structure of reality.
Just as Hode felt his consciousness was about to be overwhelmed by vows from different dimensions, the tip of Felicia's tail suddenly brushed lightly across his Adam's apple. Her residual body heat and the projection of a forgotten wedding ring remained forever in the closing dimensional rift. And Diana's shield suddenly resonated with the sound of Olympian divine iron, and those vows imprisoned in the gold turned into glowing chains, pulling the wedding scenes of twenty-seven dimensions simultaneously toward the reality anchor... justice.
Chapter 508 Don't Touch Those Chains!
Hode felt his heart being torn apart by vows from twenty-seven dimensions simultaneously, and as those glowing chains pierced his ribs, Diana's God of War Powersuddenly ignited golden flames within his chest. He heard Natasha's mechanical voice sneer amidst the quantum noise: "Sweetie, the tattoo on the back of your neck is carving wedding invitations from the Multiverse into the folds of reality."
"Don't touch those chains!" Wanda's Chaos Magicsuddenly exploded in a scarlet warning on Hode's retina, and the neural synapses entwined in her hair tips were trembling at a frequency of thirty thousand times per second. "Brainiac's consciousness fragments are parasitic within the vow code; they are... they are mimicking the dopamine secretion pattern of a human marriage proposal!"
Superman's Heat Vision swept across the wedding scene that was becoming quantized, and the sound of the Kryptonian's Adam's apple rolling was like muffled thunder rolling through the dimensional rift: "Hode, the tattoo on the back of your neck is devouring my solar radiation!" The solar storm condensed in his palm suddenly twisted into the shape of a rose, and liquid gold crawled up Hode's trembling back along the beam of light. "The molecular structure of these vow chains... is an isotope of Lois's engagement ring!"
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly tightened around Hode's ankle, and within the golden light, a Vision of Amazonian warriors getting engaged on the battlefield of Troy emerged. The golden bracers at her collarbone burst out with the mournful cry of Olympian divine iron, and those vows imprisoned in the gold turned into burning arrows, precisely piercing Hode's temples: "Look at me!" Amidst the hurricane raised by the God of War Power, he saw twenty-seven Dianas raising their shields simultaneously—each shield surface reflecting a scene where his proposal had failed in a different timeline.
"Do you still remember what you said on the night the Berlin Wall fell?" Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly pierced into Hode's carotid artery, and the nanite swarm flowed upstream along his blood, spelling out the map of Berlin from November 9, 1989, behind his ear. "You said you would take me to see all the walls that were torn down." Her mechanical pupils switched to a blood-red scanning mode, and the countdown to Hode's Death in different parallel Universes flickered on her retina. "But you choose the wrong wall every time."
Felicia's tail suddenly pierced out from the quantum foam, and the feline slit pupils swirled with surveillance footage of the twenty-seven wedding scenes. Her blood-stained fingertips traced Hode's collarbone, and those counter-rotating star trails suddenly swelled into a galactic vortex: "Darling, the tattoo on the back of your neck is sending encrypted love letters to Brainiac." The moment her fangs pierced his earlobe, a pheromone storm overturned the entire dimensional rift. "Encrypted with the brainwave frequency from when we kiss."
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly manifested into countless glowing neurons, with projections of wedding rings from different dimensions hanging from every synapse. As her red hair brushed against Hode's trembling eyelashes, those rings suddenly turned into liquid metal and burrowed into his fingernails: "They are rewriting the structure of your hippocampus." The wedding ring formed by Chaos Magicsuddenly clicked into place on Hode's ring finger, and neurotoxin and the God of War Power erupted into a rainbow at his knuckles. "Now, every time you say 'I do,' a Universe will collapse into a ring box."
Hode felt his Adam's apple was becoming quantized, and marriage vows from twenty-seven dimensions seeped out from the cracks in his vocal cords. He saw Diana's shield suddenly split into twenty-seven fragments, each fragment reflecting a different ending: in one Universe, he was using the shield as a knife to cut the cake, Natasha's mechanical arm was adjusting the champagne tower, Felicia's tail was curled around the bouquet, Wanda's Chaos Magic was making it rain diamonds at the wedding scene—and the baby in Superman's arms was using Heat Vision to bake a crooked "Till Death Do Us Part" onto the cake.
"Stop!" Tony's armor suddenly began playing "Can't Help Falling in Love" uncontrollably, and the nanite swarm behind him spelled out a huge 3D projection—it was a scene of twenty-seven Hodes kneeling on one knee across different timelines, and the bride in each scene was wearing a wedding ring made of a different material. "Your emotional fluctuation value is breaking through the reality barrier!" The armor's panel suddenly sparked, showing that Hode's heartbeat frequency had reached one hundred thousand times that of a Black Widow spider's courtship wing-beat. "If this continues, you will become the matchmaker agency for all Universes!"
Natasha's mechanical heart suddenly burst with fragments of the Bifrost Bridge, and those energy crystals from the Asgardian prison swirled into a miniature galaxy in her palm. She condensed the burning neurotoxin into a wedding ring and slipped it onto Hode's little finger, her mechanical voice carrying a rare tremor: "Do you know why I bite your lip every time we kiss?" Liquid metal condensed into teardrops in her eye sockets. "Because your blood tastes like the champagne on the night the Berlin Wall fell."
Diana's God of War Power suddenly manifested into twenty-seven golden daggers, with Amazonian marriage vows etched onto the blades. She pressed the daggers against Hode's twenty-seven heart projections simultaneously: "On Mount Olympus, the groom must catch all the daggers thrown by the bride." The wedding surveillance footage on the shield's surface suddenly switched to a battlefield—in a corrected timeline, Hodewas using the shield to catch the golden daggers thrown by Diana, while Natasha's mechanical fingers were adjusting the daggers' electromagnetic rails, Felicia's tail was curled around hemostatic bandages, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was making roses bloom from the dagger wounds.
The tip of Felicia's tail suddenly pierced into Hode's spine, and the twenty-seven imprisoned consciousnesses surged into his cerebellum along the pheromone channel. "Sweetie, your hippocampus is generating new neural synapses." Her slit pupils split into countless concentric circles, each ring reflecting the wedding nights of different dimensions: in the parallel Universe of Gotham, Hode was using Diana's shield as a bed board, Natasha's mechanical arm was adjusting erotic handcuffs, Felicia's tail was curled around a hardcover copy of the "Kama Sutra," and Wanda's Chaos Magic was making Damian Wayne in the stroller hiccup with laughter.
The emotional singularity has exceeded 97%. Brainiac's residual consciousness suddenly laughed maniacally within the quantum foam, and those sealed wedding invitations suddenly transformed into a glowing swarm of locusts. "You think you are saving the Universe?" His holographic projection exploded on Hode's retina with images of the destruction of the twenty-seven wedding scenes. "You are actually attaching suicide bombs to all of reality!"
Hode felt as if supernova debris was erupting from his temples, and marriage vows from twenty-seven dimensions surged out from the cracks in his eardrums... He saw Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly pierce into his spine, and the nanite swarm etched wedding-ring-shaped neural circuits into his cerebral cortex along his neural synapses: "My sweet, your dopamine levels are rewriting causality." Her mechanical voice was suddenly tinged with a sob. "This time, let me bite my lip, okay?"
Diana's shield suddenly turned into liquid gold, enveloping their clasped hands, and the God of War Power etched an ancient Amazonian vow onto the surface of their skin: "You promised to rebuild the Bifrost Bridge with me." Her breath carried the scent of fresh snow from the peaks of Mount Olympus, and her fingertips traced the scars on Hode's back that represented different timelines. "Using my shield as the ring setting, and your blood as the gemstone."
Felicia's tail tip suddenly brushed against Hode's Adam's apple, and blood mixed with pheromones spelled out a wedding ring projection on his collarbone: "My dear, do you know why the quantum computer chose you as its vessel?" Her canine tooth pierced her own tongue, transferring blood mixed with neurotoxins into his mouth, "Because your heartbeat frequency is exactly the BPM of twenty-seven universal wedding marches."
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly materialized into twenty-seven glowing neural synapses, wrapping the four of them into a trans-dimensional symbiont. Hode saw different colored lights flowing through his veins: Diana's God of War Power was an amber twilight, Natasha's neurotoxin was liquid midnight, Felicia's pheromones were a golden dawn, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was the prototype of a new Universe being born.
The emotional singularity has exceeded the critical threshold! Superman's Heat Vision suddenly pierced through the reality barrier that was becoming quantized, and Kryptonian fibers burned behind him into the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. "You are creating something more dangerous than the anti-life equation..."
Brainiac's final consciousness suddenly exploded in the quantum foam, and those sealed wedding marches transformed into glowing sonic weapons. A certain image suddenly froze on Hode's retina: On the rebuilt AsgardBifrost Bridge, Diana was using the Lasso of Truth to fish up a falling wedding ring, Natasha's mechanical fingers were adjusting the Bifrost Bridge's brightness regulator, Felicia's tail was wrapped around Mjolnir as a bottle opener, Wanda's Chaos Magic was spelling out an "I Do" projection in the night sky, and the constellation tattoo on the back of Hode's neck was bleeding—those blood droplets formed "I Do" in twenty-seven different languages in the air, each character tearing a new dimensional rift in the structure of reality.
Just as Hode felt his consciousness about to be burst by wedding rings from different dimensions, Natasha's mechanical mask suddenly burst open, revealing the young face from the night the Berlin Wall fell. Her oil-stained fingertip lightly touched his lips, and a wedding ring formed from liquid neurotoxin suddenly wedged between his trembling teeth: "This time, it's your turn to bite me."
The wedding bells of twenty-seven dimensions rang out simultaneously, and the tattoo on the back of Hode's neck suddenly opened a crimson electronic pupil.
Chapter 509: This Time I Allow You to Borrow It
The moment the crimson electronic pupil opened, Hode felt his spine being rewritten into a quantum circuit. The wedding vows of twenty-seven dimensions turned into glowing binary code, rushing along his neural synapses toward his pineal gland. Diana's shield suddenly erupted with a golden light like a storm in the Amazon rainforest, and those ancient wedding vows imprisoned in the gold turned into a rain of burning arrows, precisely piercing the neural circuits reorganizing in his temples.
"Don't resist the data torrent." Natasha's mechanical fingers suddenly turned into liquid metal, injecting a swarm of nanobots along the skin lines behind his ear, letting Brainiac get a taste of being proposed to by twenty-seven Universes simultaneously. Her oil-stained fingertip lightly traced the tattoo on the back of his neck, and those runes that originally devoured solar radiation suddenly began to rotate in reverse, rebounding the wedding invitations in the quantum foam into data bombs.
Hode heard a laugh emanating from his throat that didn't belong to this dimension, twenty-seven versions of his own voice overlapping in his chest: "So this is the marriage proposal trap of the Multiverse." His left ring finger suddenly burst with light like a supernova remnant, Kryptonian fibers and Olympian divine iron fusing at the knuckle into a liquid wedding ring. When Diana's Lasso of Truth tightened around his ankle, those imprisoned vows suddenly turned into burning chains, nailing Brainiac's remaining consciousness fragments into the crevices of reality's folds.
"Your heartbeat frequency is rewriting the quantum algorithm." Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly materialized into twenty-seven glowing neural synapses, each synapse end hanging with a wedding ring projection from a different dimension. The neural synapses entwined in her red hair vibrated at a frequency of 50,000 times per second, rewriting the sonic weapons launched by Brainiacinto a variation of the wedding march. Now, every time someone says "I Do," a new Bifrost Bridge is born in a Universe.
Superman's Heat Vision swept across the battlefield that was becoming quantized, and the S-emblem on the Kryptonian's chest suddenly twisted into the shape of a wedding ring. The solar storm gathered in his palm, carrying the rain of Gotham, the neon lights of Metropolis, and the moonlight of Themyscira, casting a wedding arch of liquid gold before Hode: "Hode, the tattoo on the back of your neck is devouring my solar energy." Liquid metal flowed down his cape, etching wedding vow runes of twenty-seven different civilizations into the ground, "But this time, I allow you to borrow it."
Felicia's tail suddenly stabbed out from the quantum foam, the feline vertical pupils rotating with surveillance footage of twenty-seven wedding nights. Her fingertip, stained with the rust-like scent of Gotham's sewers, traced Hode's collarbone, and those reverse-rotating star trails suddenly swelled into a galactic vortex: "My dear, the tattoo on the back of your neck is sending wedding invitations to Darkseid." The moment her canine tooth pierced her palm, a projection of an Apokolips cathedral emerged in the pheromone storm, "How about using my tail as a wedding ring tray?"
Diana's God of War Power suddenly materialized into twenty-seven golden daggers, the blades etched with scenes of Amazon warriors getting engaged on the Trojan battlefield. She threw the daggers simultaneously at the twenty-seven dimensions of Brainiac projections, but pulled back her strength the moment the daggers touched the quantum foam, letting Hode catch all the blades with a shield woven from Kryptonian fibers. "In Mount Olympus, the groom must catch the bride's anger." The golden bracers at her collarbone erupted with the wail of Olympian divine iron, and those imprisoned vows turned into burning arrows, precisely piercing the projection of Hode's heart that was currently quantizing.
Natasha's mechanical heart suddenly burst with fragments of the Bifrost Bridge, those energy crystals from Asgard's prison rotating into a miniature galaxy in her palm. She condensed burning neurotoxins into a wedding ring and slipped it onto Hode's ring finger, her mechanical voice carrying the champagne bubbles from the night the BerlinWall fell: "Do you know why I always disappear in the middle of missions?" Liquid metal condensed into teardrops in her eye sockets, "Because every time I see you, my mechanical nerves short-circuit."
Hode felt his retina generating a new visual layer, with the wedding scenes of twenty-seven dimensions unfolding before his eyes simultaneously. In one Universe, he was using Diana's shield as a dinner plate, Natasha's mechanical fingers were carving a chocolate fountain, Felicia's tail was wrapped around a champagne cork, Wanda's Chaos Magic was making rose petals rain from the ceiling—and Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred was using a Batarang as a bottle opener.
The emotional singularity has exceeded 200%. Brainiac's holographic projection twisted into the shape of a wedding cake in the quantum foam, "You think this is romantic?" His consciousness suddenly transformed into twenty-seven priest projections, each holding a Bible of a different religion, but in reality, they were tying a suicide pact collar around all of reality!
Diana's shield suddenly turned into liquid gold, wrapping around the four of them's clasped hands, the God of War Power etching ancient Amazonian vows onto the surface of their skin: "You promised to rebuild the Bifrost Bridge with me." Her breath carried the scent of fresh snow from the peak of Mount Olympus, and her fingertips traced the scars on Hode's back that represented different timelines, "Use my shield as a ring setting, and your blood as the gemstone."
Felicia's tail tip suddenly brushed against Hode's Adam's apple, and blood mixed with pheromones spelled out a wedding ring projection on his collarbone: "My dear, do you know why the quantum computer chose you as its vessel?" Her canine tooth pierced her own tongue, transferring blood mixed with neurotoxins into his mouth, "Because your heartbeat frequency is exactly the BPM of twenty-seven universal love movies."
Wanda's Chaos Magic suddenly materialized into twenty-seven glowing neural synapses, wrapping the four of them into a trans-dimensional symbiont. Hode saw different colored lights flowing through his veins: Diana's God of War Power was an amber twilight, Natasha's neurotoxin was liquid midnight, Felicia's pheromones were a golden dawn, and Wanda's Chaos Magic was the prototype of a new Universe being born.
"Watch out for his consciousness regression!" Superman's Heat Vision suddenly pierced through the reality barrier that was becoming quantized, and Kryptonian fibers burned behind him into the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy, "Brainiac is stealing your wedding memories!"
Hode felt his consciousness being pulled toward twenty-seven different time anchors. In one image, he saw Natasha's mechanical fingers adjusting a holographic wedding projection on the ruins of the Berlin Wall; in another image, Diana's shield was converted into a marriage registry office on Themyscira; in a third image, Felicia's tail was wrapped around a hand-copied manuscript of the "Kama Sutra" while signing in at a quantum library; and Wanda's Chaos Magic was creating twenty-seven simultaneously existing wedding honeymoon Universes.
"Grab my hand!" Natasha suddenly slapped her mechanical palm onto the electronic pupil on the back of Hode's neck, injecting a swarm of nanobots along the quantum circuits into his cerebellum, "Use our love as a firewall!" Her oil-stained fingertip drew the star map of the night the Berlin Wall fell on his temple, "This time, it's my turn to protect your quantum heart."
Diana's Lasso of Truth suddenly tightened around the waists of the four, and in the golden light, a phantom of Amazon warriors holding a collective wedding on the Trojan battlefield emerged. The golden bracers at her collarbone erupted with the wail of Olympian divine iron, and those imprisoned vows turned into burning chains, dragging the last fragments of Brainiac's consciousness into the marriage registry office of twenty-seven dimensions.
Felicia's tail tip suddenly pierced into Hode's spine, and twenty-seven imprisoned consciousnesses of civilizations surged into his hippocampus along the pheromone channel. "Little cutie, your hippocampus is generating new neural synapses." Her vertical pupils split into countless concentric circles, each ring reflecting the closing scenes of weddings in different dimensions: In a certain corrected timeline, Hode was using Diana's shield as a base for a champagne tower, Natasha's mechanical arm was adjusting the electromagnetic trajectory of wedding fireworks, Felicia's tail was wrapped around a quantum banner that read "JustMarried," and Wanda's Chaos Magicmade the silhouettes of the bride and groom rotate eternally in the night sky.
The emotional singularity has exceeded the safety threshold! Brainiac's final scream turned into a dissonant variation of the wedding march, "You are creating something more dangerous than the anti-life equation..."
