While the Monitor was still striving to save the Multiverse, Shen Mu had already sought out the Anti-Monitor.
At this moment, the Anti-Monitor felt the heart-pounding power emanating from Qward, and a look of Madness appeared on his face.
He knew that the day he would fully awaken the Anti-Life Equation was drawing nearer!
"Good, just like this. As long as I eliminate more life before those annoying fellows interfere, the Anti-Life Equation will manifest even faster!"
The Anti-Monitor gazed obsessively at the Universes he had destroyed.
His mother, Perpetua, had initially granted him the authority of Destruction, and now he was merely exercising that authority.
Just as he was absorbed in this scene of Destruction he had wrought, he suddenly saw a streak of light heading straight for him.
"Who is it?"
The Anti-Monitor roared, then single-handedly conjured an anti-matter energy barrier.
"Crack!"
The next second, with a crisp sound, the shield, formed by a massive amount of anti-matter energy, instantly shattered.
Seeing the figure emerge from the light and Shadow, the Anti-Monitor's eyes narrowed sharply.
In the Multiverse, Shen Mu was perhaps the last person he wanted to encounter.
However, when he met Shen Mu's gaze, which was like a high and mighty God looking down on ants, the string of reason in the Anti-Monitor's mind instantly snapped!
"Kryptonian God, how dare you look at me with such eyes? I am the Anti-Monitor!"
At this moment, the Anti-Monitor's face, hidden beneath his armor, became incredibly hideous and twisted, and his tone revealed immense fury.
He had already determined Shen Mu's identity through his aura; after all, the original Kryptonian Pantheon was a formidable force within the Domain of the Gods!
Even though Shen Mu always appeared in the form of a giant dragon, the aura of divine power on him, identical to Rao's, made it difficult for anyone not to guess his true identity.
Especially now that the entire Domain of the Gods knew of Rao's demise, the only possibility for someone to stand before him in such a manner was Shen Mu.
However, despite his anger, the Anti-Monitor had not completely lost his reason.
He had no certainty of victory against Shen Mu, nor did he understand Shen Mu's true capabilities, so engaging in battle rashly would be counterproductive.
Therefore, even with his rising fury, the Anti-Monitor did not make the first move.
He had not yet figured out Shen Mu's purpose for coming, and unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to stir up trouble at this critical juncture.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Shen Mu had come specifically for him, and this battle was utterly unavoidable.
"Oh! Anti-Monitor, is that so impressive? Why aren't you cowering in your Antimatter Universe? Now you've come to the Positive Matter Universe to cause trouble. Do you want to taste Death?"
Shen Mu nonchalantly retorted.
However, despite his words, Shen Mu knew that the Anti-Monitor was a fundamental component of the DC Multiverse.
Unless a supreme being intervened to completely erase him, he would eventually be reborn in the Sixth Dimension, no matter how many times he was destroyed.
"Kryptonian God, you have already established yourself in the Domain of the Gods. I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of the Multiverse. I do not wish to be your enemy."
The Anti-Monitor said coldly, though what he truly meant was that he temporarily did not want to be Shen Mu's enemy.
"I'm sorry, the Domain of the Gods is my home, but I will never forget the Multiverse."
Shen Mu said with a faint smile.
"Are you truly going to oppose me?"
The Anti-Monitor's rage was now nearing its peak.
As his emotions fluctuated, the surrounding anti-matter energy also began to surge restlessly.
"Heh! So what if I oppose you? Your title, Anti-Monitor, doesn't hold much sway with me."
Shen Mu still appeared completely unconcerned.
"Kryptonian God, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Seeing that soft words were useless, the Anti-Monitor no longer suppressed his anger!
"Haven't you already figured out whether you're afraid or not? I imagine you must be very anxious right now!"
"The Anti-Life Equation is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, the conditions to activate it are not so easy. You are so eager to destroy so many Universes just to activate it quickly, aren't you? It's a pity you won't get to see its true form!"
If Shen Mu's previous provocations had only caused the Anti-Monitor's reason to collapse, then this last sentence utterly annihilated his remaining sanity!
When he heard the words "Anti-Life Equation" from Shen Mu, the Anti-Monitor's body trembled three times, and he looked at Shen Mu with utter disbelief.
"Why do you know about the Anti-Life Equation's existence?"
At this moment, the Anti-Monitor's eyes were bloodshot, looking terrifyingly as if he wanted to devour someone.
He had always believed this secret was known only to himself, but he never expected Shen Mu to casually reveal everything now.
"Heh! What exists can be known. What I know is not just this."
Shen Mu chuckled, speaking mysteriously.
"Kill you, kill you! The secret of the Anti-Life Equation can only belong to me!"
An unprecedented ferocity burst forth from the Anti-Monitor's eyes.
Before, he didn't want to fight Shen Mu because he didn't know Shen Mu's true capabilities, but now he had only one thought: to eliminate Shen Mu.
He would not spare anyone who dared to covet the Anti-Life Equation.
The Anti-Monitor reached out, and the anti-matter wall immediately roared deafeningly, then instantly pressed down on Shen Mu.
"Be annihilated by my anti-matter energy!"
The Anti-Monitor grinned hideously, bringing his hands together, and a vast amount of anti-matter energy surged wildly, like a terrifying world-destroying millstone.
"Flashy!"
Facing such an attack, Shen Mu didn't even bother to glance at it.
Anti-matter energy might be fatal to ordinary Gods, but at Shen Mu's level, coupled with his mastery of the Power of Destruction, he had no intention of dodging.
Slowly raising his arm, without any superfluous movements, he delivered a straightforward punch.
Infinite power condensed at the fist, shattering all obstacles with absolute force.
When Shen Mu's fist collided with the Anti-Monitor's anti-matter wall, a terrifying ripple, sweeping through space and time, erupted instantly and then rapidly spread to the wider Multiverse.
Countless individual Universes were affected by this shockwave, teetering precariously.
As the Anti-Monitor, who controlled the anti-matter wall, his heart was filled with horror.
He could clearly sense that with just one collision, his proud anti-matter wall now required a continuous, immense amount of anti-matter energy to counteract the power of Shen Mu's punch, otherwise it would crumble!
"What kind of monster is this?"
The power of a single punch made the Anti-Monitor realize Shen Mu's terrifying might.
