"Lord God, when will you be able to release me from the Guardian's dark cabinet? This current body is too weak, preventing me from serving you better."
The recent battle made Huo Rong clearly realize that this power ring was merely a defective product created unintentionally in the past, and its power limit was completely incomparable to his true body.
Especially after Metron's taunt, his desire to break the seal became even more urgent!
So, at this moment, he didn't care about anything else and directly posed this question to Shen Mu.
Shen Mu glanced at him indifferently without speaking, but Zod, standing by, couldn't hold back!
"Huo Rong, mind your current status. You must not question Lord God."
Ever since Shen Mu had gathered and integrated the entire Kryptonian Pantheon, the divine power he naturally exuded made Zod's submission even more heartfelt.
Even if Shen Mu were to ask him to commit suicide immediately, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
Therefore, he would not allow Huo Rong, a newcomer to Shen Mu's command, to rush Shen Mu into action.
Although Huo Rong was extremely displeased, he dared not show too much of it at this moment.
"I am not questioning Lord God; I merely wish to quickly possess the power to serve My Lord."
Huo Rong was very aware of his current predicament and dared not argue with Zod, slightly lowering his posture.
After all, the battle with that Green Lantern earlier had made him realize how weak he was now; against Zod, he had no chance of winning.
Thus, his words consistently revolved around his desire to serve Shen Mu, which made his eagerness seem extremely righteous.
"Hmph!"
Zod snorted disdainfully.
"Alright, I will fulfill what I promised you, but now is not the time."
Shen Mu didn't want to hear them bickering and directly cut off their continued squabbling.
As he spoke, Shen Mu's gaze looked up into the boundless void, passing through countless Universes to reach the edge of the Multiverse.
Because just a moment ago, Shen Mu could clearly sense that several Universes had been permanently erased from the edge of the Multiverse!
And when he looked over, he immediately discovered a strange wall advancing rapidly towards the Multiverse, obliterating each bubble-like Universe in its path instantly.
"That is, anti-matter energy!"
Shen Mu recognized at a glance that the wall was a destructive weapon forged from pure anti-matter energy.
For the Positive Matter Universe, there was no power to resist such a weapon; with just a slight touch, the entire Universe would immediately begin to collapse.
Within the Universe, whether it was ordinary life or high-and-mighty Gods, demons, or advanced civilizations, there was nowhere to hide, and they were easily crushed by that anti-matter wall.
"Anti-Monitor, I didn't expect you would actually dare to create such a weapon. It seems you are impatient to completely activate the Anti-Life Equation!"
In the DC Universe, no one else could so wantonly use such vast anti-matter energy and be so mad, except for Mobius, the Anti-Monitor.
Previously, the Anti-Monitor had only dispatched the vanguard of the Antimatter Universe to invade the Multiverse, and Shen Mu hadn't paid too much attention.
He hadn't expected that in such a short time, that fellow would have completely discarded all caution!
If Shen Mu did not intervene, this time the Anti-Monitor would initiate the major event chapter of the entire DC Universe.
And the consequence of this series of major events was that the originally infinite, unstable Universes would ultimately be reduced to a stable 52, a truly tragic outcome.
Strictly speaking, the demise of the Universe had little to do with Shen Mu; after all, at his level, the Domain of the Gods was his primary sphere of activity.
Just as he was thinking this, the voice in his mind, which had been silent until now—so much so that Shen Mu had almost forgotten it—suddenly rang out.
"Ding! The major event 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' has begun, and the treasure chest is continuously charging!"
"System, you're alive again?"
Shen Mu said to the System in his mind, exceptionally surprised.
Originally, after Shen Mu was ambushed by the One-Above-All in the Marvel Universe and fled in distress to this World, no matter how he called out to the System, he received no response. At that time, he thought the System was gone.
However, the System space was still preserved, and the rewards from the System treasure chests were still there.
He had thought it was the System's final legacy to him, and he inherited it with tears.
He hadn't expected the System's voice to reappear at this moment. It was like old friends reuniting, and for a moment, Shen Mu didn't even pay attention to the treasure chest quest.
"Ding! Host, please be mindful of your wording. This System has never died; it merely left temporarily to do something important, and now that it's done, it has naturally returned!"
"What important matter?"
After the System finished speaking, Shen Mu immediately pressed for an answer.
"Irrelevant to the Host, no comment!"
Seeing the System's response, Shen Mu did not continue to press for details.
"Hahaha! System, with you here, I feel much more at ease. That old bastard One-Above-All actually dared to ambush me. One day, I will go back and personally settle this debt with him!"
As Shen Mu, who had grown to his current state by relying on the System, he never doubted whether the System had ulterior motives for him; even if it did, he didn't care too much.
After all, if it weren't for it, he would probably still be playing with rocks in the mountain jungles of Vanaheim!
"Lord God, has something happened?"
Zod and his group beside Shen Mu watched as his face first showed contemplation, then turned to surprise, and now became full of fighting spirit. For a moment, they couldn't figure out what had happened!
"Nothing, an old friend has returned!"
Zod and the others could clearly feel that Shen Mu's tone was noticeably more joyful than before.
Although they didn't know who Shen Mu's so-called friend was, if Shen Mu was happy, they were happy too.
"Huo Rong, if you want your power back, I can grant it to you!"
At this moment, Shen Mu suddenly said to Huo Rong.
Upon hearing this, the surprise on Huo Rong's face was uncontrollable. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Mu turned his gaze to Metron.
"Metron, you will take Zod and the others to accomplish this task. I can temporarily return the mobius chair to you. If you can handle this matter well, you can continue to sit on this chair securely."
What a surprise! Metron was initially somewhat jealous of Huo Rong, but he hadn't expected such a sudden surprise.
"Lord God, I will definitely carry out the task you have given me."
Metron no longer cared that his current mission was to help Huo Rong break the seal. For him, being able to reclaim the mobius chair made everything else unimportant.
Only after losing it did he realize how important that chair was to him.
Upon hearing Metron's words, Shen Mu reached out and took the mobius chair from the space in front of him, tossed it to him, and then took a step, his figure instantly disappearing.
