Chapter 145: Wicked Stepfather? Captain Marvel: There's Still An Expert!
" Android 21... "
" Goodness... "
" There's even a Pro Max version?! "
Tony's figure swayed slightly; he was truly devastated.
He had thought Android 18 was the one and only unique piece in this World.
Never would he have expected...
That friend of Su Ye was still holding back an ultimate move!
Whose general was this under command this time?
As an upgraded version of Android 21, just how powerful would her strength be!
He felt that his own super genius halo was about to dim by a few more shades!
Nick Fury strode forward, too lazy to care about any Android 21.
The only thing he cared about was...
The deal between Su Ye and God...
" What deal did you reach with God? "
Fury's face turned dark as he asked in a hurried tone.
This matter concerned the safety of billions of people!
" Tiamut's awakening has been postponed to five billion years later. "
" During this time, I am responsible for this little one's safety. "
Su Ye raised his foot and stamped on the ground, a playful smile curling the corners of his mouth.
" How long? "
" Five billion years? "
Nick Fury made an exaggerated expression, his eyes filled with wild joy.
He couldn't even control things a hundred years from now, let alone five billion years!
Even if he agreed to this deal, it would have no impact on the current Earth!
Five billion years!
Whether human civilization would still exist by then would probably become a question!
Such matters should just be left for the civilization five billion years later to worry about!
The other Superheroes present also breathed a collective sigh of relief.
No matter what...
They had united as one and protected the World together.
This operation could also be considered a perfect conclusion.
" So to speak... "
" You are now a God's stepfather? "
" Goodness, can you afford the milk powder money? "
Tony asked with a peculiar expression.
This super genius could always find interesting questions from tricky angles.
" You can understand it that way. "
Su Ye chuckled lightly, acknowledging Tony's words.
" Then what about our plan to build the Bifrost Bridge? "
The light flickering in Dr. Banner's eyes dimmed by a few shades, but he still brought it up briefly.
" Everything I've done, isn't it for this very purpose? "
" Of course we are continuing. "
Su Ye gave Banner a side-eye and provided an unwavering reply.
" Whoa... "
" Is that how you treat an adopted son? "
" His childhood is simply too unfortunate. "
Mark opened his mouth in astonishment, complaining about Su Ye's behavior.
Su Ye was a qualified Hero, but definitely not a qualified stepfather.
" I must interrupt. "
" Tiamut is an adopted daughter. "
" Because in the oldest myths, Tiamat is female. "
" The Eternal left behind this message; it must contain some deep meaning. "
Sorcerer Ancient One also stepped out, picking faults in Mark's words.
After stepping down from the position of the Supreme, she had instead become lively.
Gone was her past majesty, and she even liked to tease others.
" Eh! "
" Wu! "
Hearing this, Thor let out a sound of dissatisfaction.
But Loki, sitting right beside him, immediately covered his mouth.
The brothers' stubborn old man had been exiled by Su Yeprecisely because he spoke wrongly.
In case Thor said something wrong again, Asgard might really be finished!
The bickering of this pair of divine brothers caught Su Ye's attention.
Anyone who didn't know better would think this buddy was about to drop a rap.
" Without the interference of the Eternal, what is our next step? "
Nick Fury also joined in, raising his hand to ask curiously.
If Su Ye had no plan, then he was going to exert himself.
He had prepared three sets of plans to win over this group of powerhouses.
Three sets!
" Yeah, what's the next step? "
Thor pushed Loki away, smiling foolishly and happily.
Anyone who didn't know would think he was asking [What to eat].
This kind of guy was the craftiest!
Usually acting all goofy!
But his emotional intelligence during battle was extremely high, and he even had combination moves!
Pairing with different Heroes, he always had a set of silky smooth combo attacks!
Therefore...
He could always make friends...
" Leave the rest of the matters to me. "
" Everyone is also tired, go back and rest. "
Su Ye said gently, taking all the remaining matters onto himself.
He prepared to awaken Tiamut tomorrow morning and pull his good daughter out.
He was going to build the Bifrost Bridge on Tiamut's body and establish the Justice League!
" Oh! "
" Finally! "
" I can get a good night's sleep! "
Wanda held her small fists high, letting out a feeble cheer.
" Sorry, Wanda. "
" Making you stay up late with me. "
Su Ye looked at Little Wanda; normally by this time, this lass would have long fallen asleep.
" It's fine... "
" I'm already used to it... (Yawn) "
At this moment, Wanda was so sleepy she couldn't even open her eyes, snuggling into Jean's arms.
If she hadn't been waiting for Su Ye to return safely, she would have long gone back to sleep.
" So... "
" This team is just disbanding like this? "
Magneto, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up at this moment.
His gaze turned toward his close friend [Professor X]; he originally intended to take this opportunity to mend their relationship.
But never had he thought...
In the blink of an eye, they were about to part ways and go their separate ways!
Clearly, this group of people present could change the World!
Just dispersing like this...
Isn't it simply too much of a pity...
Old Wan was truly heartbroken, wanting this team to be able to continue.
" It was just a temporarily cobbled-together team to begin with. "
" The powerhouses on this Planet are too few. "
Nolan crossed his arms, giving a cruel answer.
Throughout this battle, he had been watching from the sidelines the entire time.
Regarding Mark's strength, he believed it still needed to be strengthened a bit.
Dealing with an opponent like Ikaris required combination moves.
If he were to step down into the arena himself.
A single [Viltrum Chop] would be able to resolve the battle.
It seemed...
He needed to carve out some time to conduct practical combat training with his son.
He had to let this kid taste a Viltrum-style education.
Calculating the time...
Mark's coming-of-age ceremony seemed to be approaching soon...
The rain that the fathers walked through, they had to let their good son experience it properly!
...
This group of Superheroes present were all saying discouraging words.
Clearly, they had returned in a massive victory!
Anyone not knowing...
Would think they had failed and weren't able to protect this Planet!
" Hey! "
" Today is a day of great joy! "
" It's time to celebrate properly! "
Tony clapped his hands, cheering and encouraging the Superheroes present.
The elevator door also opened at this moment.
Pepper brought a group of staff members, pushing over a huge celebratory cake.
Along with boxes of fine wine, which could sell for astronomical prices on the market!
This group of staff members worked nimbly.
In just a moment's time, they stacked up a champagne tower.
" Bring on some upbeat music! "
Professor X also gave a lot of face, cupping his hands around his mouth like a megaphone to help Tony set the mood.
With someone taking the lead in celebration, the other Superheroes also temporarily put down the responsibilities on their shoulders.
And blended into this victory-celebration party.
" Excuse me. "
Su Ye, with beauties in his arms on both sides, walked past Captain Marvel.
Angering her so that she turned around fiercely, a mass of Universe energy welling up in her hand.
But thinking that the current Su Ye didn't know her yet, and she was just a stranger who had met him once.
The indignation in her heart also disappeared by more than half.
She walked over to Jean's side and sat on the sofa.
Watching Su Ye speaking intimate whispers with two monster-like beauties.
" Hee hee hee—! "
A burst of gnashing teeth sound suddenly rang out from beside Captain Marvel.
She turned around in astonishment, looking at Jean beside her, wearing an incredible expression.
There was actually another expert?
She found an ally?
...
" Confess honestly, where did she come from? "
Android 18 glared at Android 21, looking very alert.
" She was created by me. "
" Using God's creation machine. "
" I don't know either whether she counts as an Eternal. "
" But she was created by me, belonging to an android. "
" Just like you. "
Su Ye played with Android 18's chin, just like teasing a kitten, as he answered the other party's question.
Android 18 squinted her eyes comfortably, a comfortable smile curling the corners of her mouth as she temporarily believed this answer.
" You don't have to be so hostile toward me, little sister Android 18. "
" My positioning and responsibilities are different from yours. "
" I won't threaten your position in darling's heart. "
" I am mainly responsible for technology research and development, rather than being an assistant. "
Android 21 also leaned closer, easing the relationship between herself and Android 18.
She raised her fair palm, tidying up Android 18's slightly messy bangs.
A strong maternal aura emanated from her body, as if she could encompass all things in the World.
The dance of three people, although difficult to dance, there were always busybodies who wanted to try it out.
Chapter 146: Primordial Spirit Manifestation! The Day of Tiamut's Awakening!
One week later...
Above a certain ocean...
Su Ye hovered in the air, overlooking the sea surface below.
This was the World's third largest ocean, close to the Horn of Africa.
Because there was an active volcano here, there were no signs of human survival.
There were only a few barren islands, and even decent vegetation was pitifully scarce.
This area...
Was the sleeping place of Tiamut...
And also where its head was located...
Behind Su Ye, various Superheroes also traveled thousands of miles to join in the excitement.
Iron Man, Magneto, Invincible, Omnipotent.
mechanical jacket, Captain Marvel, Little Wanda, Jean.
Et cetera, et cetera...
Almost all flying Superheroes had arrived at the scene.
"So..."
"Do we really have to do this?"
"Your daughter is sleeping quite well down below."
"You could completely wait fifty billion years before awakening it."
Tony wore the Iron Man Suit, flew to Su Ye's side, and carried out his final persuasion.
Awakening a God was very cool, but it was tantamount to joking with this Planet.
As for the construction site of the Bifrost Bridge...
He could completely buy an island...
This method was both fast and safe...
"Ships are safest in port, but that is not the reason to build them."
"Similarly..."
"Without experiencing hardships, how can there be growth?"
"I am just letting this child experience the cruelty of society."
Su Ye shrugged, his mouth full of grand principles, causing Tony to roll his eyes.
Android 21, who came along with Su Ye, made a shooing gesture.
"Alright."
"It's not safe here. You all back away first."
Android 21 said to the group of heroes.
What was going to happen next would be extremely spectacular.
Only by standing far enough away could one experience that shocking scene.
Prompted by Android 21, the crowd quickly retreated.
In the empty and barren scene, only Su Ye was left, calmly overlooking the sea below.
Then...
Su Ye activated his super vision, locking onto the Godlocated at the Planet's core position.
At this time, Tiamut was like a fully developed infant embryo.
It curled its body, feeding on the entire civilization, floating and sleeping in the stellar core.
According to its growth rate.
At present, it already showed signs before awakening.
Su Ye expressionlessly raised his hand, casting psychokinesis to control Tiamut.
Like a Doctor performing a precise operation, every step was accurate and flawless.
Under the traction of psychokinesis, the God that had slept for an unknown number of years slowly emerged from the seabed like a sky-supporting giant mountain!
For a moment...
The Earth trembled violently, and towering waves swallowed nearby islands.
Even the unextinguished active volcano was instantly swallowed by a tsunami of several hundred meters!
Five huge peaks broke through the constraints of the Earth's crust and emerged from the depths of the seabed!
They actually lifted the flooded active volcano along with nearby islands once again!
Those scattered islands and volcanoes connected into one piece, forming a new landmass!
At this moment...
The restless ocean released terrifying power.
The entire World suffered varying degrees of impact!
And this...
Was merely this God moving its body slightly!
In the distance...
That group of Superheroes witnessed new land blocks rising from the depths of the seabed.
They looked at each other and saw deep shock on each other's faces.
That was not a land tectonic plate!
Coupled with those five peaks, this turned out to be a palm!
At this time...
A huge golden head slowly rose up from beneath the sea surface.
At this moment...
All shock turned into terror...
Even the tallest mountain in the World could not compare to one-tenth of this head!
This was still the extent of not fully surfacing from the sea, and it had already broken World records!
In the huge eye sockets of the awakened Tiamut, a dark golden light lit up!
Another huge palm also rose from beneath the sea.
The width of that palm was enough to rival a small country!
Even if the extended five fingers were removed and only the palm part was kept!
In that huge and flat area, it was enough to build a super city capable of accommodating tens of millions of people!
If counting the God's head...
This Planet would have a new piece of land, a brand-new continent!
However...
These were things to consider later...
This God The Handmaiden who was awakened...
Obviously didn't have a good temper and intended to detonate the entire Planet!
Just at this moment...
Su Ye moved...
Since the beginning of the Universe's birth, the members of the Celestials had followed a rule.
The end of an ancient life signaled the beginning of another brand-new life.
The fall of a Planet meant the birth of a new God.
A newborn God could create infinite galaxies.
The infinite cycle of creation and destruction.
This was the rule of the Universe's operation.
Without the Celestials, galaxies would no longer grow.
The Universe would plunge into darkness and enter a countdown to death.
By then...
All living beings in the Universe would completely die.
Therefore...
Trading the sacrifice of one star for the birth of countless stars!
In the eyes of the God clan, it was a very wise and efficient matter!
Not a single God would repent because of this.
Unfortunately...
Arishem the Judge chose the wrong Planet...
Causing such an outstanding junior as Tiamut to become a hidden treasure in someone's eyes!
A God nurtured by sacrificing a Planet could create infinite galaxies!
Then...
What kind of thing would happen if a God was used to feed back into the Planet?
Regarding this...
Su Ye was very looking forward to it...
"Primordial Spirit!"
"Initiate!"
The voice fell.
Bright red energy erupted from Su Ye's body.
Transforming into countless photon veins, drawing the projection of a giant God behind him.
That huge figure rapidly grew larger and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few blinks, it expanded to the extent that even the Planet could not contain it.
This God projection materialized from pure energy floated in the Universe.
It was surprisingly extremely similar to the God that descended to Earth previously — Arishem the Judge!
It was simply twins!
No wonder...
Arishem the Judge would call him [Blood Relative]!
No!
This God projection behind Su Ye!
Was taller and more stalwart and powerful than Arishem the Judge!
Even the color was more vibrant, filled with infinite vitality!
Even Tiamut, whose slight movement could trigger a global disaster!
In front of this God projection, it was like a newly born infant.
Although this God projection condensed by Su Ye was an energy body.
It possessed infinite energy, and its strength far exceeded physical Gods!
It was equivalent to Su Ye's external body, controlled through consciousness!
Under Su Ye's manipulation...
The huge palm of the God projection grabbed towards Tiamut's head.
Tiamut didn't even have the ability to resist before being put completely in line by Su Ye.
Su Ye's God projection held Tiamut's head.
Like a black-bellied stepfather pinching an infant's pink, tender little face.
As a junior valued by Arishem the Judge, it was an outstanding talent among the Gods!
As long as it could be born successfully, it would definitely become an elite among the Celestials!
What a pity...
Tiamut had very bad luck, provoking the person who should least be provoked.
Su Ye's cold voice directly sounded in this God's mind.
"Tiamut..."
"Your power is too strong..."
"Sorry, child, I cannot let you act willfully."
"Just obediently close your eyes and sleep for another fifty billion years!"
Chapter 147 Academy City! Captain Marvel: Plucking a star and giving it to you!
As the words fell...
Through the God projection, Su Ye cast [Chaos Magic].
"Mm..."
Tiamut only had time to let out a low moan before being affected by the magic and falling into a deep sleep once again.
However...
Its terrifying size did not sink into the ocean floor.
It still stood tall upon the sea surface, transforming into a new piece of land.
Unlike the original timeline...
Tiamut did not die; it simply fell asleep.
And what was raised was not just one hand, but both hands.
This meant that...
Su Ye had even more space to carry out construction.
Building the ideal home in the palm of the God!
"Magneto!"
Su Ye called out with the title for [Magneto].
"What is it?"
Magneto had not yet recovered from the shock.
Hearing Su Ye's call, he responded in a muffled voice.
"I plan to build a super city on the God's left hand."
"Mutants from all over the World can come here to live and study."
"I will hire the most excellent teaching team, psychological Doctor groups, and scientific research teams to teach and cultivate them."
"When they have achieved success in their studies, according to their abilities, we will find the most suitable place for them to settle down."
"I've even thought of the name!"
"It's called..."
"Academy City!"
"Magneto, what do you think of this idea?"
Su Ye motioned for Magneto to come over, narrating his great plan.
Magneto fell silent...
But that pair of violently trembling eyes exposed the shock within his heart!
A super city tailor-made for Mutants and super-powered individuals!
What an incredible stroke of work!
This was something neither he nor Professor X dared to even imagine!
Su Ye waited for a long time without receiving a reply from Magneto.
He was somewhat annoyed...
"Magneto, say something!"
Su Ye nudged Magneto's chest with his elbow.
Although he controlled his strength, Magneto still couldn't bear it.
"Cough cough!"
Magneto clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain.
"Speak!"
Su Ye kept a straight face, acting as if standing on the moral high ground.
"What on Earth..."
Grimacing in pain, Magneto responded to Su Ye using the newly learned mysterious Eastern language.
What opinion could he possibly have!
He was so excited he was about to cry!
Su Ye had drawn him a blueprint that he simply could not refuse!
Even knowing that this blueprint was so out of reach!
Yet it pointed out a broad and smooth path for his lost self!
The reason Mutants were discriminated against was precisely their inability to control their own powers!
But what if there was such a place that could teach them how to control their own strength?
Coupled with a psychological Doctor team to guide them and heal the scars within their hearts!
And a technological research team to develop exclusive equipment based on the Mutants' superpowers!
Not only that...
They would also introduce suitable jobs for the Mutants who returned successfully from their studies, finding them a place to settle down!
Just imagining it...
Magneto was almost drowning in [happiness]!
His own life was already like this, but he still had family, still had a daughter!
As a father, even if he had to risk everything, he would realize this future!
He wanted his daughter to live in a new World without discrimination!
It wasn't just Magneto who was excited...
Tony piloted the Iron Man Suit and flew to Su Ye's side.
"Whoa..."
"If real estate is developed here..."
"Brother, you will replace me and become the new richest person in the World!"
Tony bantered with Su Ye, his eyes full of burning heat as he looked toward Tiamut's other palm.
No!
To be precise...
It was another piece of land...
A piece of land capable of building a [ten-million-population-class super city]!
The right palm was used to build Academy City, so how should the left palm be handled?
"Stop messing around."
"I am prepared to build the Bifrost Bridge on the left palm."
"And take the Bifrost Bridge as the core to build a gigantic institution."
"And use that place as a Superhero association to manage the Superheroes of the entire World."
"As for the outer perimeter..."
"It can be built into another city..."
"When the identities of the Superheroes are exposed and their families are threatened."
"They can bring their families over, and we will provide protection."
Su Ye continued to narrate.
To make it easier for Tony to understand, he used energy to form a golden screen.
On the screen, he casually drew out the structure.
The smallest ring in the middle was the location of the Bifrost Bridge.
The second ring on the outer periphery of the first ring was where the Hero association was located.
The third ring outside the second ring was a super city.
After listening to Su Ye's vision...
Tony fell into silence...
He gazed blankly at Su Ye, his eyes filled with admiration.
Su Ye had considered things very comprehensively, even considering the future.
Once the identities of the heroes were exposed,
Those vicious villains would use any means necessary to target the heroes' families.
Su Ye's actions this time were equivalent to providing a guarantee for all the heroes.
Even if their identities were exposed, their families could still have a safe place to go.
"Pardon my frankness..."
"Your plan is great, but have you considered the time and cost?"
Captain Marvel flew over from the side, reminding him with a hint of reluctance.
She had even considered...
Whether to drag an asteroid carrying rare metals from outer space.
And sponsor this crazy wish of the naive Su Ye.
"The Great Wall wasn't built in a day."
"Having a direction to strive for is always better than standing still."
Su Ye laughed heartily.
The sunlight of dawn illuminated his body.
At this moment, he was like a living saint!
The hope contained in his eyes, as well as his infinite imagination for the future,
Deeply touched everyone present, activating their uncooled passions.
"Let's do it!"
Magneto clenched his fists and became Su Ye's firmest supporter.
"Jarvis, check my bank account..."
Tony's mouth twitched as he called out to the artificial intelligence — Jarvis.
He also wanted to join this plan and become a part of the grand narrative.
"I'rather go pluck a star for you."
Brilliant cosmic energy surged from Captain Marvel's body.
As soon as her voice fell,
She broke through the clouds above and flew toward the depths of the Universe.
Watching Captain Marvel's suave departing figure, Nolanraised an eyebrow, rather disdainfully.
He took out his phone and sent a message in the [ViltrumFamily] group chat.
...
[Nolan: His Majesty wants to build an imperial palace and needs a large amount of materials.]
[Nolan: It's time for us to make a move.]
[Lucan: Received.]
[Anissa: Received.]
[Craig: Received.]
...
At this moment...
The fifty Viltrumites active on Earth all received notification from Nolan.
The next moment...
Figures shot up into the sky from all over the World.
Heading into the cosmic starry sky to search for suitable asteroids.
S.H.I.E.L.D....
Despite receiving advance notice, the awakening of the God still caused a huge sensation.
"Director, what should we do next?"
"How will you explain this to the United Nations?"
Hill stood beside Nick Fury with her arms crossed, looking at the projection screen in the intelligence center.
That was an overhead view taken by a military satellite in planetary orbit.
The giant God was clearly visible even on the outer periphery of the Planet.
That was an undeveloped piece of land.
And also a sleeping God.
What a massive treasure trove...
At this moment, who knows how many factions and countries could no longer hold themselves back.
It's just that...
Could this bunch of ambitious people whose hearts were higher than the sky but whose lives were thinner than paper really snatch food from the tiger's mouth?
However, unlike Hill's worry, a smile appeared on Nick Fury's face.
Starting thirteen years ago...
A consensus existed among the countries of the World.
When foreign enemies invaded, Su Ye was the ultimate solution.
But during World peace, he was the biggest threat.
The Demon King and the Hero were often two sides of the same coin!
It only took an opportunity to complete the transition!
At least...
Human civilization right now...
Still lacked the courage and confidence to face this terrifying future!
Chapter 148: Magneto's Enlightenment! The Impending Invincible War!
Everything was just as Nick Fury had thought.
The appearance of God caused a sensation in the World.
However, the high-ranking officials of various countries did not come forward to hold anyone accountable.
Not only that...
They also vigorously propagated in their own countries: "Su Ye saved the World."
A World-ending crisis was safely averted.
The World returned to peace...
The Superhero who saved the World returned to daily life.
Yet the mission of another group of heroes had just begun.
Su Ye pointed out the direction forward for the confused Superheroes.
But how to build and achieve this goal was a difficult problem.
However...
The mysterious Eastern superpower was willing to relieve the heroes' worries and solve their problems.
They sent the World's top infrastructure team to assist.
Su Ye agreed to the deal with one of God's pinkies and fifty years of mining rights.
However, out of the ores mined during these fifty years, he would take fifty percent for his own exclusive use.
You must know...
God's external armor was a material similar to [Original Adamantium].
Original Adamantium was an extremely special alloy, more expensive than Vibranium.
It was one of the strongest known metals in the Universe.
Smelted from rare ores and Vibranium.
For humans, one of God's pinkies was an unreachable towering mountain!
Every rock on this mountain was priceless when placed in the outside World, impossible to measure with money!
It is no exaggeration to say...
Just the fingernail of this pinky, used as a material and added with other materials!
Could let billions of humans across the globe, each person have a shield of Steve!
Moreover!
Better than his!
Even sturdier!
Although mining was extremely difficult and could not be compared with other ores.
Fifty years of time could still yield huge profits from it.
This was a sure-win, risk-free deal, and both sides were very satisfied.
The building materials were also readily available.
They were all asteroids brought back from the Universe by Viltrum warriors.
The mysterious Eastern superpower was responsible for mining and processing.
Converted into steel and building materials, shipped to Celestial Island.
To save shipping time and accelerate the city's construction.
Su Ye sent a large number of mages, led by [Wong].
Directly responsible for cargo transportation via portals, greatly shortening the time.
Magneto also joined in. Having undergone a secondary awakening, his ability was manipulating magnetic fields.
His individual role was equivalent to dozens of oversized construction machinery.
Tens of thousands of tons of steel, under his control, seemed as light as floating feathers.
Facing the admiring gazes cast by his worker brothers,
For a split second...
Magneto suddenly felt that he had found his place of belonging.
His ability was not born to destroy the World, but to build!
After achieving enlightenment at the construction site, his application of his ability became even more handy!
Just like...
Time passed day by day...
After graduating from high school, Su Ye accompanied Zoe to be admitted to Harvard together.
Zoe relied on her academic scores; she was a true genius.
Su Ye was different; he relied on connections...
Not Tony, nor Banner.
Even less Dr. Cho and Dr. Jane.
But rather...
Nick Fury...
When Nick Fury, in the capacity of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, represented the United Nations agencies,
And placed five special recommendation letters on the Harvard president's desk,
The president, who had seen all kinds of storms throughout his life, was also shocked into collapsing onto the ground.
Afterwards...
He personally paid a visit to invite Su Ye to enroll...
The scene at that time was recorded by Megan...
In front of Su Ye, he was as awe-struck as an elementary school student, using a nervous tone close to pleading.
Before leaving, he even asked for Su Ye's autograph...
Seemingly preparing to leave it to his children and grandchildren as a family heirloom...
All in all...
The two of them, after graduation, intended to take advantage of the long vacation to start a romantic interstellar journey!
Hearing that Su Ye was going to leave Earth, Nick Furywas undoubtedly the most anxious one.
Fury was almost ready to retire; he simply didn't have the energy to wait another thirteen years!
The nosy Tony threw a lively farewell party for this young couple.
Mark, as a friend, was also invited to attend.
He had always been chasing after Su Ye's figure.
Now...
He was already qualified to stand by Su Ye's side and become a trustworthy companion!
At the party...
Su Ye was holding a glass of mint lemonade in his hand, sizing up the bruised and battered Mark.
"Mark, were you kicked by a donkey?"
Su Ye smacked his lips, looking at Mark's injuries, and couldn't help complaining.
Under his influence, Mark's strength had already significantly improved.
Far surpassing the Mark of the original timeline, he could even fight Nolan to a draw.
"Hey..."
"Beaten by my father."
"He's been getting more and more brutal lately, hitting harder and harder."
Mark bitterly poured his heart out, raising his hand to touch his right eye.
He didn't dare tell anyone that this eye had just grown back.
The previous one...
Had been cruelly crushed by his father, just to teach him a lesson.
"Whoa."
"Viltrum-style education."
Zoe, accompanying Su Ye by his side, clicked her tongue in wonder.
Would the future children of hers and Su Ye's not be as miserable as Mark?
"Who is speaking!"
Mark looked around alertly, instinctively striking a combat posture.
Under Nolan's education of love, he was now a bit paranoid, seeing enemies everywhere.
However...
He scanned around and didn't see Zoe...
Until...
He lowered his head and finally saw this cute little one beside Su Ye.
"Screw you!"
Zoe exasperatedly raised her hand and made an international friendly gesture toward Mark.
"Sorry..."
Mark scratched his head, saying with a guilty look.
If nothing unexpected happened, his name would probably be written into the Book of Grudges too.
"Mark, don't resent your father."
"This is the tradition of Viltrum."
"Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger."
"Your father did this hoping you could become a powerhouse."
"Even if he isn't around one day, you can still live well."
Su Ye raised his hand with a complicated expression and patted Mark's shoulder.
Nolan was not a cold-blooded person...
He must have noticed...
Mark was protected too well...
Lacking the tempering of hardship, he was like an unsharpened precious sword.
If this went on, Mark would become merciful and weak.
Losing a warrior's bloodlust and spirit was a terrifying thing in the Universe.
That was why he did this, using violence to temper Mark.
Just like...
Nolan's parents...
The educational methods passed down by the Invincible Grandma and Omnipotent Dad were now being used on their grandson.
If they were still alive, they would surely feel gratified.
Moreover...
Regarding this matter...
Su Ye also had to bear a certain amount of responsibility...
His flash of inspiration directly rewrote Mark's growth experiences.
Allowing poor Mark not to experience those tragic events.
His father's betrayal.
His mother's fall.
His lover's departure.
His wife's infidelity.
Threats from the Universe.
And his good friend's betrayal.
The death of his first child.
Failing to accompany his daughter as she grew up.
The tragic deaths of his brother and father.
Etc...
Etc...
Mark no longer had to experience these tragic encounters.
Everything that the Mark of five hundred years later failed to possess, all those regrets in life.
Today's Mark, under Su Ye's deliberate interference, lacked nothing anymore.
However...
"Is this really good?"
Su Ye looked at Mark with a complicated expression, pondering in his heart.
Letting Mark experience a [life-and-death battle] wouldn't be bad either.
The moment this thought surfaced in Su Ye's mind,
An anomaly!
Occurred!
Behind Mark, an irregular, greenish portal unexpectedly emerged!
From within the portal came a terrifying suction force, giving him no time to react at all!
"Ah!"
Mark let out a scream and was swallowed by the portal.
"Mark!"
Seeing Mark disappear, Su Ye followed him into the portal.
"Senior!"
Seeing Su Ye leave, Zoe panicked as well, and she activated her alien battle armor at the first possible moment.
Propelled by the leg engines, she anxiously flew into the portal.
Becoming the third person to enter the portal, disappearing from the group's sight.
The next second...
The portal rapidly closed...
Disappearing without a trace, leaving no tracks to be found anymore...
Chapter 149: Parallel Universe! Mark! Encounter with Mark!
On the other side of the portal...
Su Ye hovered in the sky, overlooking the city below.
Compared to the World he lived in, this place was more advanced.
The mobile phones used by people on the street were all smartphones.
The city streets were also much tidier, pleasing to the eye.
Most importantly...
There were no posters of Su Ye here...
His heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something.
The power of I reckon...
Su Ye pondered...
Letting Mark experience life-and-death combat to grow into a qualified Superhero.
Therefore...
His true ability was activated accordingly!
He dragged the Mark in his own Universe into a damn war!
And this war...
was a farce composed of [Mark]s from eighteen parallel Universes!
Globally, at least several million people died at the hands of these bastards!
And this...
was merely one bastard's revenge against Mark!
Now look at this...
Among the original eighteen people, a new one had been added.
Fortunately, this Ran entry Mark was a Hero.
Just then...
Su Ye sensed the aura behind him and quickly turned around.
Gently taking the flustered Zoe into his arms.
"Ugh-uh-ah!"
Zoe let out a flustered, cute cry, and only let out a heavy sigh of relief after being held in Su Ye's arms.
"Where is this?"
"Parallel Universe?"
Zoe lowered her head and looked at the city below.
In her original World, there were huge posters of her in the city!
Relying on her alien battle armor, she made quite a name for herself and was deeply loved by the people!
But...
In this World, she didn't see anything related to herself.
Zoe's smart little head instantly perceived the truth.
She had transmigrated!
Transmigrated to a parallel World!
In this World, there might not exist a Hero named [Tech Jacket].
Or perhaps...
This [Tech Jacket] hadn't made a name for themselves yet, or had just debuted.
"Mm."
Su Ye nodded in response, acknowledging Zoe's guess.
"Then what should we do now?"
Zoe looked at Su Ye, asking about her future worries.
Su Ye didn't answer immediately, but instead gazed affectionately at Zoe.
"Zoe..."
"What I'm going to say next might subvert your cognition."
"The Mark of our World has been dragged into a war."
"This war is an Invincible War composed of Marks from parallel Universes."
"They are a group of heinous bastards who descended with the mindset of destroying the World."
"Although the Mark of our World is strong, he cannot withstand a multi-person siege."
"He is very likely in danger..."
When Su Ye reached this point, he found a trace of a curious expression on Zoe's face.
"You say..."
"Will there also be a female version of Mark descending into this parallel Universe?"
Zoe asked curiously, not caring about what Su Ye said at all.
Because...
the biggest luck of this parallel Universe was Su Ye's visit.
As long as Su Ye was here, even if eighty billion Marks came, they would be crushed to death by a single finger of his!
Su Ye's powerful strength was enough to handle all crises, including post-war cleanup!
"Female Mark."
Su Ye pondered in his mind for a moment.
This sounded like it could be quite interesting.
But soon...
he dismissed the thought and hugged Zoe into his arms.
Now was not the time to fool around; there were still things to deal with.
Mark's whereabouts were unknown...
He likely had acted a step ahead.
He had to be found before he caused chaos.
Also, the upcoming Invincible War!
"Before the bastards from other parallel Universes arrive in this World."
"What we should do most right now is to find the Mark of our World."
"And by the way, notify the defense agencies of this Worldto prepare early."
Su Ye said softly.
Clearly and logically arranging the next action plan.
The only person Zoe could rely on in this parallel Worldwas him now.
He had to plan every step ahead, take care of Zoe, and protect the World.
"You are right."
"Although we couldn't go on an interstellar trip."
"An adventure in a parallel World isn't bad either."
Zoe nodded in agreement; she was always so considerate.
"Let's go."
Holding Zoe, Su Ye flew toward the direction of Mark's home.
Barring any unexpected events...
The first stop for this kid upon arriving in the parallel Universe would be his home in this World!
...
On the other side...
Just as Su Ye guessed...
After being sucked into the teleportation channel and arriving in this parallel Universe...
the first thing he did was to look for his home in the parallel World.
He was very lucky to find it...
Or rather...
in almost all parallel Universes, Mark's home was in a fixed location.
He didn't dare make a sound, afraid of causing any trouble, and secretly sneaked to the back of the house.
Intending to climb through the window into his own bedroom.
He just needed to flip through the diary to understand the situation.
Then...
and quietly wait for rescue...
He trusted Su Ye, and he trusted Tony and that group of geniuses.
They would definitely find a way to save him.
The only thing he could do was obediently wait and try not to cause trouble.
Mark thought to himself...
But...
the moment he flew to the second floor, opened the bedroom window, and pulled back the curtains...
he was completely dumbfounded, his brain unable to process the massive amount of information.
It directly crashed...
What did he see...
He saw Adult Mark from the parallel Universe intimately embracing an orange-haired mature woman.
Tightly entangled together like two seals fighting over a small tomato.
"What the f*ck!"
Mark covered his head in shock, letting out an incredulous sound.
His exclamation directly interrupted the two people who were being intimate.
"An enemy?"
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe turned around alertly, striking an offensive stance.
But he was astonished to see his younger self holding his head in shock.
"Mark, wait!"
The orange-haired mature woman noticed something was wrong and hurriedly spoke to stop them.
"You..."
"How can you be with another woman!"
"By doing this, how can you face Amber!"
Mark collapsed into the air, pointing at his older self, saying with a mix of anger and disappointment.
In his World, his relationship with Amber was in the most intimate stage of passionate love.
Mark in this parallel World had obviously cheated!
You must know!
Mark was a [Pure Love Warrior]!
He absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
But...
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe sighed with a face full of regret.
"Amber?"
"We broke up long ago..."
"She couldn't accept a Superhero boyfriend..."
"Because I was always busy saving the World and couldn't accompany her by her side, making her feel lonely, empty, and lacking a sense of security."
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe spoke the truth with a regretful expression.
This was an emotional predicament every Superherowould face.
"Mark..."
The orange-haired mature woman stepped forward with heartache and hugged Adult Mark from behind.
This cheesy scene between the two made the onlooker outside the house get goosebumps.
"Gross..."
"There is nothing worse than this."
"Um, can you let me go inside and sit down?"
Mark sighed dejectedly.
After he arrived in this parallel World.
He didn't see [Su Ye]'s overwhelming posters in this familiar city.
An ominous aura arose in his heart; this World lacked powerhouses.
It lacked a giant tree that could shelter him from the wind and rain.
You must know...
in Mark's own Universe...
because of Su Ye's existence, people worshiped Superheroes.
Amber supported his becoming a Hero.
Because...
even if she left Mark, someone would still protect the World.
Superheroes stronger than him weren't non-existent.
This also led to...
Mark becoming a Hero not being a destined fate.
He became a Hero because of his hobby.
There was no heavy burden on his shoulders.
Because someone was carrying the heavy load forward for him.
This also allowed him to have enough time to accompany his lover by his side.
All of this was because of Su Ye, making Mark truly realize that...
compared to the Mark of this World, he was so happy...
his good brother had actually paid so much for him...
If...
he were a girl...
he would definitely fall hopelessly in love with Su Ye...
Chapter 150: Misaligned Space-Time! Two Different Life Experiences!
Men remain boys until they die.
This saying...
can likewise apply to Adult Mark from the parallel Universe.
He made a welcoming gesture, inviting his parallel Universe self inside.
"Would you like some coffee?"
The orange-haired older sister asked gently, equally filled with curiosity about the parallel Universe Mark.
"No..."
"I'm not used to drinking things that are too bitter."
Mark decisively waved his hand in refusal; he wasn't at the age where he needed to rely on coffee to perk up.
Incidentally...
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe looked very exhausted, as if his body had been hollowed out.
In comparison, although Mark was youthful, his spirit and vitality were significantly stronger.
"How did you come to this World?"
Adult Mark signaled the other himself to sit down, preparing to have a good chat with him.
"I didn't come over actively..."
"Before it happened..."
"I was attending a friend's party; they were going on a trip into interstellar space."
Mark sat on the bed, took the orange juice handed over by Eve, and took a sip to moisten his throat.
Then he continued speaking.
"Goodness, I wanted to go along too, but Father stopped me."
"He felt that the current me didn't have the capital to live carefree in the Universe."
"He felt I lacked training and wanted to give me a complete childhood."
"Oh, goodness."
"The damn Viltrum-style education."
When Mark reached the sad part, he raised his hand to cover his eyes.
His already healed eyeballs were starting to phantom-ache again.
However...
Hearing the words [Viltrum] and [Father],
a trace of panic flashed through the eyes of both Adult Mark from the parallel Universe and the orange-haired older sister.
Viltrum!
The self before him from the parallel Universe actually knew about Viltrum!
Could it be!
He chose to follow his father!
And unleashed a bloody Carnage against the Earth where he lived?
Helping his father complete Conquest, and officially joining the empire?
Thinking of this...
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe instinctively clenched his fists together.
If the answer to this matter was truly the same as what he thought,
he wouldn't mind killing this Mark of his from the parallel Universe.
The orange-haired older sister also perceived the emotional change coming from her lover.
Therefore...
being clever, she began to beat around the bush...
"Is your relationship with your father very good?"
the orange-haired older sister asked.
"Yeah..."
"He was once the strongest Superhero in the World."
"It wasn't until my friend appeared that he stepped down to the second line."
"Speaking of this friend of mine, he is just like my father, coming from Viltrum Planet."
"He is even more powerful than my father, and also gentler; he is simply omnipotent!"
"Last year, we saved the World!"
"And formed the strongest Superhero team!"
"We even defeated a God!"
Mark clenched his fists excitedly, recounting with an expression full of excitement.
But Adult Mark from the parallel Universe was left thoroughly confused by what he heard.
"Wait..."
"You said your friend is also a Viltrumite?"
"And just like your father, he is also a Superhero?"
"And you guys even defeated a God and saved the World?"
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe scratched his head hard, feeling like his brain was starting to grow.
"Wow..."
"In your World, Omni-Man is actually a Hero."
The orange-haired older sister also wore a look of astonishment, unable to help complaining.
"Is there anything to be confused about?"
"Father has always been one!"
Mark looked blank, not understanding what the orange-haired older sister was actually mocking.
At this moment...
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe finally snapped back to reality.
With a serious expression, he raised his hand and pressed down on Mark's shoulders.
"Listen!"
"Mark!"
"Viltrumites are a group of invaders!"
"Your father is an insider who infiltrated Earth!"
"Their attempt is to bring Conquest to this Planet to continue their own bloodline!"
"He is a bad guy, a bastard, he betrayed mother, and even killed all his companions!"
"He..."
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe's expression turned painful and ferocious.
By the end, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"What?"
"How is this possible!"
Mark widened his eyes in shock, as if he had just had a nightmare.
He couldn't believe these words were actually spoken by Adult Mark from the parallel World!
The time in this parallel Universe was clearly in the future; could this be the future?
"This isn't any secret..."
"You just need to go outside and take a look, and you'll understand."
"We aren't deceiving you, we just want to help you."
That orange-haired older sister also nodded and responded from the side.
Perhaps...
when Mark from the parallel World returned to his point in time,
knowing this future intelligence could prevent the tragedy.
It could allow Mark in infinite parallel Universes to have a good ending.
"I don't believe it!"
"How could Father be a bad guy!"
Mark said stubbornly, shaking off his adult self and flying angrily toward the outside.
The orange-haired older sister worried that this guest from the parallel Universe would stir up some trouble.
"Quickly follow him!"
She looked at her lover beside her, signaling him to keep up quickly.
Then...
Adult Mark and Eve also flew out of the Room.
However...
when they flew out of the Room, they were shocked by the scene in the sky.
At this time...
a tall and robust figure was hovering high in the sky.
His towering figure was backed by the light of the Sun.
His first impression to people was: God descending to Earth!
It is no exaggeration to say...
that in front of him...
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe didn't even have the courage to challenge the opponent.
"Su Ye!"
"My good brother!"
"I knew you would come looking for me!"
Mark, who had flown out a step earlier, let out a pleasantly surprised cheer and flew to Su Ye's side.
"Look..."
"I knew this guy would come here."
Su Ye rolled his eyes at his good friend, and in a helpless tone, bantered with Zoe in his arms.
"Hey..."
"Mark is still a child who won't grow up..."
"The first thing he actually did was to come looking for Mom..."
"Ew—!"
The dark-bellied Zoe also chimed in with teasing words, as venomous-tongued as ever.
After all...
just a few minutes ago, Mark had still been making jokes about her height.
Her venomous tongue was simply a retaliation to get even, calling it even.
At this moment, Mark was obviously a bit dazed, looking around blankly.
After a search...
he finally noticed the junior schoolgirl wearing alien battle armor in Su Ye's arms.
"Who is speaking!"
"Oh!"
"It's Zoe."
"If you didn't speak, I would have thought Su Ye was holding a thermos."
Mark scratched his head apologetically, voicing a complaint from the bottom of his heart.
"Ow!"
"Mark Grayson!"
"You babarian, I'm going to kill you!"
"Bastard, say goodbye to this World!"
Zoe roared angrily, her hands wrapped in mechanical gauntlets transforming into the form of energy hand cannons.
She was going to blast this bastard to pieces!
"Calm down, Zoe."
"Be good, listen to me."
Su Ye hugged Zoe tightly, stopping her action.
At the same time, he used his eyes to signal Mark to get lost.
"Hey..."
"I'll go take a spin outside first..."
Mark scratched his head, preparing to leave the scene.
But a pink barrier enveloped Mark.
The clothes on Mark inside the barrier flickered with pink light.
In a flash...
it transformed into a set of yellow and blue tight-fitting battle suit, which was precisely the one he wore before.
"Cool!"
"Older sister over there, what is your name?"
Mark stretched his body and asked excitedly.
"Eve."
"Atomic Woman—Eve."
The orange-haired older sister spread her hands helplessly, looking at the innocent adolescent Mark with a poignant bitter smile.
It had been a very, very long time...
since she had seen that same smile on her lover's face...
Even though they were both Mark, their destinies were entirely different...
Chapter 151: The Conspiracy Manifests! Angstrom's Revenge Plan!
"Woo-hoo!"
"In a World without Su Ye, I am Invincible!"
Mark let out an excited cheer, his figure gradually fading away.
He couldn't wait to become the strongest in this World!
The strongest Superhero!
The words he left behind...
left the few people present with black lines on their foreheads, speechless for a moment.
"Eve, go follow and check it out."
"Don't let him cause trouble."
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe looked at the beloved by his side, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.
"Okay..."
A pink light barrier emerged around Eve as she chased after the departing Mark.
Witnessing the departure of his beloved...
Adult Mark finally turned around...
Looking up at the figure in the sky, he assumed a defensive posture.
"Are you from Viltrum?"
There was a hint of fear mixed into Adult Mark's voice.
Just the aura of the powerhouse emitted by Su Ye made him feel short of breath.
An opponent of this level was definitely not something the present him could contend with!
He had Eve leave just because he was worried his beloved would sacrifice herself along with him!
"Identity is not important, child."
"Relax..."
"I mean no harm, otherwise you would already be dead."
Su Ye smiled slightly, looking down at Adult Mark below.
"What is your purpose in coming here?"
"Conquest of the Universe?"
Adult Mark didn't dare to lower his guard and asked in a cold voice.
He didn't have a shred of goodwill toward the so-called Viltrum people.
Including his father!
Omni-Man: Nolan!
Su Ye could sense the vigilance coming from Adult Mark.
He smiled with satisfaction and wore an approving expression.
As expected of the main Universe Mark, he is much more mature than his own good friend.
"Invincible from our Universe, while unprepared..."
"was swallowed by a portal and accidentally teleported to this parallel Universe."
"His appearance is a warning to your World."
"A huge conspiracy is brewing and taking shape."
"The purpose of my visit this time is to take him home."
"That's all..."
Su Ye smiled politely as he recounted the course of events.
"A conspiracy...?"
"All of the above content is made up by you, right?"
Adult Mark looked suspicious as he pondered Su Ye's answer.
He was not an intelligent Superhero who was good at using his brain.
He didn't understand what kind of deep meaning was hidden behind these words.
Looking at Mark's expression, Su Ye speechless put away his smile.
He had thought that the Mark of his own Universe was innocent enough.
This one was even more heavyweight!
"Sigh..."
"Go find a smart person to talk with me."
"For your own good, and for the peace of the World."
Su Ye sighed helplessly.
Talking with [Mark] was just wasting time.
No matter which parallel Universe's Mark it was, they just needed to obey orders.
Adult Mark heard Su Ye's helplessness and also realized the gap in strength.
Indeed...
The other party had no need to lie to him...
With the other party's strength, he could tear him apart in One Second...
"Okay."
"Follow me."
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe ultimately compromised.
He led the way in front, with Su Ye and Zoe closely followed behind.
A few minutes later...
Mark led the two of them and arrived at the Pentagon...
As the Director of the Global Defense Agency, Cecil seemed to have anticipated it and came out to greet them in person.
He was a bald old man with terrifying scars on his face.
The skin on his body was very pale, obviously artificially transplanted.
He wore a black suit with a red tie tied casually.
He looked up at the sky, gazing at the visitors, his gaze finally falling behind Mark.
The moment he saw Su Ye, his pupils shrank violently, and every muscle was trembling.
The intuition of an Agent was frantically sending out early warnings.
This was an extremely dangerous, extremely terrifying monster!
No!
He even exceeded the boundaries of biology!
Like some kind of materialized conceptual existence!
However.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and still maintained absolute rationality.
"Mark, I thought you went to the city center."
"If you are here, then who is with Eve?"
Cecil said calmly.
When facing Su Ye, he showed more courage than Adult Mark!
"That is the Mark from our Universe, you don't need to worry."
"Although a bit innocent, he is worthy of the name of Hero."
"He won't hurt anyone, except for bad guys."
Su Ye answered the question with a faint smile.
He descended from the air, his stalwart body of over two meters standing tall in front of Cecil.
Cecil's body instinctively retreated, pulling apart a distance of nearly three meters.
"Then, polite sir, what should you be called?"
Cecil gazed at Su Ye and asked in a deep voice.
"Su Ye."
"A Superhero out of interest."
"I have no malice toward this World."
"I just want to take my friend home."
Su Ye looked straight into Cecil's eyes and explained in a gentle tone.
From the other party, he smelled an aura similar to Nick Fury.
"In that case, why haven't you left yet?"
"Could it be that you are also trapped here?"
"Are you here to seek help?"
Cecil made a joke, but his tone carried a mocking undertone.
If these people really wanted to leave, they definitely wouldn't have come to meet him.
Since he had come over, it meant he had ulterior motives!
"It's not to that extent..."
"With my current strength, it's enough to open a cross-dimensional portal."
"The Mark in our Universe was intentionally teleported here by someone."
"I understand the terror of this kind of spatial ability better than you do."
"The reason I came over is just to ask."
"Have you ever provoked a superhuman who can open [parallel Universe portals]?"
Su Ye looked down at Cecil and asked his question.
"You mean..."
"Someone is intentionally targeting Mark?"
"There is indeed a villain named [Angstrom]."
"Could this son of a bitch not be completely dead?"
Cecil acutely sensed the intelligence revealed in Su Ye's words.
His brow instantly knitted tightly, associating it with an extremely bad possibility.
"Sir, what you said is completely right."
"Since a grudge has been formed, everything makes sense now."
"Mark from our Universe ended up becoming the victim instead."
Su Ye smiled with gratification; chatting with smart people really is easy.
"However..."
"What does this have to do with me in the parallel Universe?"
"What is Angstrom plotting again?"
Adult Mark spread his hands with a puzzled look and voiced the incomprehension in his heart.
"Shut up, Mark."
"Shut up, Mark!"
Su Ye and Cecil said in unison.
Mark's stupidity gave them a headache.
"Oh..."
Adult Mark shut up extremely unwillingly, but his eyes were still filled with confusion.
Cecil felt a bit soft-hearted and was just about to explain, but Su Ye took a step ahead.
And narrated the truth for him...
"In infinite parallel Universes, countless possibilities exist."
"It does not rule out the existence of variants like [Evil Mark]."
"The easiest way to ruin a person is through smearing."
"Presumably Mr. Angstrom thinks so too."
"Using his own ability, he batch-teleports the evil Marks from parallel Universes into this World."
"Letting these bad boys go and destroy cities, create Carnage, and destroy everything you care about."
"Turning you from a Hero into an unpardonable bad guy."
"Making those who admire you hate you to the core."
"This is Angstrom's revenge against you."
"It's just a pity that he fell short by one move..."
"And provoked someone he shouldn't have offended..."
Chapter 152: No Weakness! Su Ye: Death is a cool summer night...
In front of the Pentagon...
Su Ye introduced the dilemma this World was about to face in a way even a monkey could understand.
" This is going too far! "
" I clearly already killed that bastard! "
" Why didn't he die, why! "
Adult Mark clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with fury.
The scene described by Su Ye filled him with dread.
This was a crisis he couldn't handle all by himself.
" When will they arrive? "
Cecil ignored Mark and communicated with Su Ye.
" I don't know. "
" But presumably it won't be long. "
Su Ye answered very decisively.
He was good at attacking, and passive defense was something only the Avengers would do.
Deep inside, Cecil fell into a frantic state of conflict, and his expression was extremely ugly.
At least for now...
He still couldn't determine whether Su Ye and Angstromwere in cahoots.
Whether this was just a play, and whether the other party harbored other motives in coming this time.
Having experienced Omni-Man's betrayal, Cecil no longer trusted anyone.
Even Mark was no exception.
Let alone Su Ye, whose origins were unknown.
Therefore...
He had to continue probing...
" What do you want to get from us? "
" Or rather... "
" What kind of reward is needed to make you step in and solve the trouble? "
Cecil put on a sincere expression, as if he already believed the man in front of him.
What a pity...
Su Ye's answer, however, left him stunned.
" This matter has nothing to do with me. "
" But for Mark, it is an excellent opportunity for training. "
" Let the Mark from our Universe come and assist you. "
Su Ye refused very bluntly.
He knew Cecil's personality very well.
This guy was even more paranoid than Nick Fury.
He didn't believe anyone, including himself.
Such a person would never be happy, because he was scheming every single second!
Scheming against others, scheming against himself, scheming against the World, fighting wits and scheming all his life!
Therefore...
Su Ye didn't want to have too much contact with Cecil.
His purpose this time was merely to notify the other party.
So as to give this World more time to prepare.
And reduce casualties caused by the Invincible War.
However...
In Cecil's eyes, Su Ye's performance took on a completely different appearance.
Playing hard to get...
He said that on purpose...
Wanting them to speak first and offer generous rewards before he made a decision!
" This respectable gentleman... "
" You wouldn't want to see a good friend die in the upcoming catastrophe either, right? "
" Mark from your Universe doesn't look very smart. "
" Win-win cooperation is the absolute truth. "
Biting the bullet, Cecil prepared to use Mark as leverage to add chips to his side.
He was even mentally prepared to be severely beaten up by Su Ye.
All of this was to protect the World.
Justice achieved by any means necessary is still justice!
What a pity...
Hearing Cecil's threat, Su Ye didn't care at all; he even laughed heartlessly.
" Then let him die. "
" Death is a cool summer night, offering people a worry-free sleep. "
" It's best if he dies a bit miserably, so this kid learns his lesson. "
Su Ye spoke the most cruel and ruthless words in the most frivolous tone.
Cecil was shocked; he hadn't expected the other party to give such a response.
Adult Mark from the parallel Universe was even more furious, rushing forward to question him.
" Why? "
" Is a good friend's life worthless in your eyes? "
Adult Mark was full of anger. Su Ye's behavior was simply too heartless.
At this moment...
Zoe, who had been acting as a hot water bottle in Su Ye's arms all this time, could no longer sit still.
" You misunderstood his meaning... "
" Senior's actual meaning is... "
" Even if Mark dies, he can still trace back time. "
" And revive that idiot by reversing time. "
" Mark dying like this is not the first time. "
" As a side note... "
" Every time this kid dies, his strength undergoes a qualitative leap! "
" In our Universe... "
" Leaving aside those outlier monsters, he belongs to the first tier of powerhouses! "
" You can trust his fists, but never trust his brain! "
" Just assign him a task, and he will definitely complete it brilliantly! "
Zoe hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.
Her mouth was like a machine gun, rat-tat-tatting out a string of words in explanation.
Fearing that these people would pin a big hat of [cold and ruthless] on Su Ye in their hearts.
Yet she never considered whether Mark might be pinned with a big hat of [complete idiot].
" Not the first time... "
" Revival... "
Adult Mark's pupils shrank as he muttered in shock.
" Spacetime reversal... "
Cecil, on the other hand, was deeply shocked by another matter.
What kind of monster was this powerhouse of unknown origin?
Su Ye...
Yesu...
Could it be...
He is really a [God]!
" Let's go. "
" Didn't you want to have a romantic interstellar trip? "
" What do you think of an interstellar trip in a parallel Universe? "
Su Ye ignored the two shocked people and spoke sweet nothings while holding Zoe.
" But... "
" I am a Hero after all... "
" Even if this is not our World, I still want to protect it. "
Zoe said with evasive eyes; she didn't even dare to look straight into Su Ye's eyes.
Actually...
When she saw Adult Mark...
She was guessing at a possibility...
Even Mark had a [parallel World counterpart], what about her?
Would another version of herself exist somewhere in this World?
Was she a Hero, or an ordinary person?
Was she living happily?
Did she have any troubles?
Zoe was extremely curious about this and even wanted to help the other her.
The young girl's little thoughts were destined not to be hidden from Su Ye.
" Let's go. "
" I'll take you somewhere. "
Su Ye raised his head, his gaze looking toward the dome.
In orbit outside the Planet, a private space station was operating as usual.
This space station adopted alien technology, paired with the most advanced anti-gravity system.
It was used by Zoe of this World to repair alien battle armor and as a place for leisure and entertainment.
And the person responsible for maintenance and operation was Zoe's father.
To be precise...
It was the father of this parallel Universe...
Just like that...
Amidst Cecil's astonished and aggrieved expression, Su Yeheld Zoe and soared up into the sky.
Witnessing Su Ye disappear, Cecil felt endless regret in his heart.
" Damn it... "
" One move short in chess... "
" Moral coercion has no effect on him... "
Cecil gave a bitter smile; he had zero methods left.
His venomous schemes were like children playing house in front of absolute strength.
Even using the lives of the other party's friends as a threat had no effect whatsoever.
Because the other party mastered the ability of [spacetime reversal] and could resurrect them at any time.
Without any surprises...
When Mark was being brutally murdered, he might even open a bag of potato chips.
And then invite Mark's other friends to watch the execution together.
As for revenge?
That was something Mark needed to consider after being resurrected; what did it have to do with him?
A truly invincible person...
This guy has no weakness...
Cecil arrived at this terrifying conclusion and looked worriedly at Adult Mark beside him.
" Mark... "
" Let's put past grudges aside for now. "
" We must unite in order to deal with the crisis. "
As his voice fell.
Cecil extended a hand to Mark, indicating his goodwill.
Although he failed to win over Su Ye, Mark was likewise the strongest combat power.
Yes...
As a Viltrum half-breed, Mark was the strongest being on this Planet.
His strength was on a tier of its own, enough to dominate this Planet.
Adult Mark hesitated for a moment...
Only then did he reluctantly reach out his hand and clasp Cecil's palm.
" Only this once... "
" Cecil... "
" I'll leave my family to you. "
Chapter 153: The Mauler Twins! A Thoroughly Wicked Invincible!
Meanwhile...
On the streets of New York City...
The sound of violent explosions and sirens echoed through the entire street.
A pair of hulking, entirely blue men dragging several cases of looted gold bars were preparing to escape by car.
But right at that moment...
Wearing a yellow and blue combat suit, Mark descended from the sky like an arrow!
He landed right in front of the car, blocking the criminals attempting to flee!
"Hey!"
"You two brothers look just like...!"
"Smurfs who drank too much protein powder...?"
While bantering with the criminals, Mark clenched his left fist and threw a fierce punch forward!
The speeding car was blasted apart by his single punch.
Even the criminals inside were caught in the disastrous fallout.
"It is Invincible..."
One of the hulking blue giants struggled to stand up and complained to his companion.
"I know, idiot."
"He's changed back into his "Baby Clothes" again."
The other hulking giant wiped the blood from his face, revealing a cruel smile.
They looked like twin brothers, almost identical with no discernible difference.
In this Universe, they were known as the Mauler Twins.
They were clones created by the mad scientist, Mauler.
Possessing all of Mauler's memories, every single one of them was the original entity.
Their enhanced bodies were strong enough to withstand bullets head-on.
The technological weapons they used were decades ahead of the global standard.
Not only that...
Their genius intellect had already surpassed this era!
Among the many outstanding geniuses, they were the brightest stars!
They were practically omnipotent, easily capable of manufacturing cross-dimensional devices!
What a pity...
These two unlucky fellows messed with the wrong target...
"Come play with me, Invin—"
The Mauler Twin standing on the right grinned and raised a fist the size of a sandbag.
But before he could finish his words, his head was blown apart by a punch from Mark!
Splattering plasma flew dozens of meters away, scattering across the entire street!
"What...?"
Terror flickered in the eyes of the Mauler Twin on the left.
The past Invincible wasn't like this.
During battles, he always held back his strength.
He could always trade blows back and forth evenly with the Mauler Twins.
At most, he would just give the Mauler Twins a severe beating.
And then...
Send them to prison to serve their time...
But...
This "Invincible" before him would resort to lethal force at the slightest disagreement!
His group was brutally murdered just for taunting a few words!
While the Mauler on the left was stunned, Mark had already lunged forward to kill!
"The explosion you caused earlier killed quite a few people!"
"I want you to pay for this with blood!"
"Die, bastard!"
Mark's blood-stained fist kept magnifying in Mauler's field of vision!
Suddenly!
A pink energy barrier suddenly and swiftly enveloped the last remaining Mauler.
It was Eve, who had arrived closely behind, stepping in to save this vicious criminal.
"You can't kill him!"
Eve's eager voice was filled with anger.
She hadn't expected Mark to actually commit murder in broad daylight.
Hearing Eve's voice, Mark did not hold back; he still threw a fatal punch.
The pink energy barrier shattered instantly!
That violent blast of wind felt like a thousand sharp blades!
Slashing away large chunks of flesh from Mauler's body!
Mauler let out a miserable scream, and the moment he was blasted away, his body was already covered in blood.
"He's crazy!"
"Invincible is crazy!"
He forcefully held onto his last breath, crying out in a panic as he got up and fled.
But having suffered heavy injuries with several broken ribs, he couldn't run and could only drag himself forward step by step.
His moving speed was very slow, appearing from Mark's overlooking perspective like a clumsy snail struggling to crawl.
"Hmph!"
"Trying to escape?"
"Lightning Whirlwind..."
Seeing the opponent trying to run, Mark decisively moved to pursue and kill.
However...
Atom Eve, who had rushed to the scene, blocked his path and interrupted Mark's ultimate skill chanting.
"Get out of the way!"
"A bad guy like this must pay for the dead with his life!"
Mark roared angrily, signaling the holy-than-thou Eve in front of him to go stay wherever it's cool.
"Judging criminals should be up to the law!"
"You don't have the right to decide his life and death!"
Eve put her hands on her hips, striking the pose of My Lord, and rebuked Mark's recklessness.
"I can't decide his life and death?"
"Then what gives him the right to decide the life and death of those ordinary people?"
"For those ordinary people killed in the explosion, is their life not considered a life?"
"Have you considered the feelings of their families, and who is going to speak up for justice for them?!"
Mark questioned angrily.
These words were soul-stirring.
Instantly plunging Eve, who had originally stood on the moral high ground, into the bottomless abyss.
Although unwilling to admit it...
Everything Mark said was right...
Even if the "Mauler Twins" were locked in prison, they would escape.
And then, to fulfill their ambitions, continue to cause crises all over the World.
For so many years...
Similar incidents had long been commonplace...
The innocent civilians who died directly or indirectly at their hands had long since become an astronomical figure.
In fact...
These victims could have avoided casualties in the first place.
As long as they were killed the first time the Mauler Twins committed a crime, it would have been enough.
Even if the crime committed the first time wasn't enough, what about the second or third time?
In every subsequent crime event, there was an opportunity to kill them.
But every single time...
One of them managed to survive by luck.
And then created a new clone through machinery.
Continuing to commit evil and creating even more human tragedies.
Without the slightest exaggeration...
If the Mauler Twins were killed right now...
From now on, no one would ever get hurt because of them again.
This is an approach to mend the fold after sheep are lost, meant to protect the weak.
Although...
The law does not allow it...
As an outsider, Mark does not possess the authority of a law enforcement officer.
"But..."
"But they are bad guys, and you are a Superhero."
"You cannot do the same things they do."
"You don't have the right to do this."
Eve still wanted to continue persuading him.
In this parallel Universe, the vast majority of Superheroes adhered to the principle of not killing.
Even if criminals killed their families, they must never resort to lynching and should leave it to legal judgment.
Anyone who violated this rule would be universally condemned.
What a pity...
Mark did not belong to this World, and the person he worshipped was Su Ye.
A person is influenced by those they associate with.
Under Su Ye's influence, Mark had a different understanding of the definition of a Hero.
If killing one person could save thousands, he would strike without hesitation!
Even if he had to bear this guilt and go to hell after death, he would never regret it!
He would simply unite with his good brothers to purge the sins of hell!
Executing the demons with capital punishment and transforming hell into a paradise!
Letting those Superheroes who killed criminals live a heavenly life even in hell!
"Eve..."
"My friend once told me a simple truth."
"Those who cherish their reputation lack the qualification to be Heroes."
"You guys are simply sick!"
"Hypocrites!"
"Your chivalry is just for show!"
"You have never considered the feelings of ordinary people!"
Mark said solemnly, his clenched fists showing no intention of loosening from start to finish.
"Mark, calm down."
"Let's lock him in prison, okay?"
"Isn't it great to let the law judge the sinners?"
Hearing Mark's words, Eve felt a sudden, inexplicable panic in her heart.
Until...
The next sentence Mark uttered rendered all her previous persuasion completely useless.
"I am an Avenger!"
"A Superhero who takes revenge for the dead!"
As the words fell,
Mark shoved past the blocking Eve and flew toward the fleeing "Mauler"!
"Mark!"
"Don't!"
Eve was knocked flying dozens of meters away. Enduring the pain, she struggled to get up.
From just a single exchange, she had already perceived Mark's strength.
Although Mark from the parallel Universe was younger,
his overall strength was even stronger than Adult Mark!
More importantly...
He was unbound by the law and had his own logic of action!
A monster like this was definitely not something she could block!
The dialogue between the two also reached Mauler's ears.
Dragging his crippled body, his eyes were filled with terror!
Invincible is crazy!
He has completely turned dark!
He's no longer human!
"No——!"
Mauler opened his mouth in terror, his eyes filled with despair.
Watching the darkened Invincible get closer and closer!
His heart turned to ashes...
Right at this moment...
The entire World was forcibly frozen by a terrifying force.
The vibrant colors quickly receded, leaving only black and white.
All things in the outside World, including Invincible, maintained their previous actions.
Time stopped...
In this static, silent World, Mauler was one of the only two people who could move freely.
"This... this is..."
Mauler widened his eyes in shock; physics no longer existed!
This ability to manipulate time could already be considered a miracle!
At this moment...
A powerful, large hand landed on Mauler's shoulder.
Mauler turned around in terror, staring blankly behind him at a figure even taller and more hulking than himself.
"Mauler..."
"I give you two choices."
"First: Die here."
"Second: Work for me."
