Kytheron stared at Molecule Man for a long time, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes, which were filled with starlight.
His expression was normal; he looked as if he had Kytheron completely figured out.
"System, what do you think of this?"
At this moment, Kytheron remembered that he still had the System as a solid backing, so he asked in return.
Ding! I'm watching while lying down. If the Host is not satisfied, I can sit up, but if you want me to stand up, that would be a bit impolite!
"System, you're being naughty again. I'm asking you a serious question right now!"
For this System, which was slowly becoming a bit too intelligent, Kytheron still missed the simple, Q&A-style service it used to provide.
What I said was also a serious answer!
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the System, Kytheron had no choice.
After all, Molecule Man was the most crucial link in this major event!
"I agree to your plan, but if you're helping me like this, what do you want me to do, or rather, what do you want to gain from it?"
"There's no way you'd help me with such a big favor for no reason. I don't believe in free lunches in this World, and you don't need to beat around the bush; just tell me your purpose directly!"
Kytheron's words laid everything bare!
"Purpose? I've never thought that much about it, because the power I possess now is enough for me to do anything!"
"But that's not what I want at all."
Molecule Man said, then slowly raised his head, a hint of emotion on his face.
"When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a magician, but later, because I didn't have that talent, I had to bow to life. I worked at ACME Atomic Company for twelve years, but I was always the most unremarkable one."
"I originally thought my life would slowly be worn away by that day-to-day work, but fate seemed to play a big joke on me."
"That accident changed my body; I gained the ability to manipulate the molecular structure of anything. I thought I could use that power to control the entire World and make everyone notice me."
"Then I was stopped by Reed and the others, but at that time, I was determined to do something big to attract everyone's attention, and I did a lot of foolish things."
"After that, a certain curly-haired bad kid from the Beyonder came to play in the Multiverse, almost destroying the entire Universe. In the end, I fought a great battle with him and repaired the Multiverse."
Molecule Man began to recount his life story to Kytheron and Eternity, completely absorbed in his narrative.
Although Kytheron knew all that he was saying, he couldn't help but be affected by the emotion the other party was currently pouring into his story.
Eternity, on the other hand, listened very carefully, silently committing some of the details to memory.
From the previous words, he had roughly pieced together all the clues: the guy controlling this body had come back from the future, and had already experienced the ultimate crisis.
Therefore, he heard many secrets of the Universe, and all of them were things that had not yet happened.
Upon hearing that a certain individual from the Beyonder was treating the Multiverse as a playground, he felt as if his heart had been heavily struck again. Then, upon hearing that Molecule Man had actually defeated the opponent and repaired the damaged Multiverse, Eternity developed a strong liking for him.
Eternity's logic was: as long as you are good to the Multiverse, then you are my friend.
So, Molecule Man, an existence who had saved the Multiverse, was automatically categorized as a Multiverse Guardian in Eternity's eyes!
"I originally thought that after stopping that curly-haired individual, I would, along with him, forever transform into a Cosmic Cube. I never expected that fate would once again free me."
"But this time, I lost my girlfriend. She was the first person in this World to acknowledge me. It was all that curly-haired bastard's fault; he made me lose her!"
"Later, those bastards from the Beyonder began to invade, and that's when I learned the true reason for my existence from Doom."
"So I agreed to his plan, helped him kill many versions of myself from parallel Universes, and finally took revenge on those bastards who played with my life, seizing the power they left behind."
"However, the Multiverse was also destroyed! Originally, I had no lingering attachment to this Universe, and I even pretended not to see everything Doom did with the Beyonder power I shared with him."
"Until your appearance, you caused a fundamental change in the entire Multiverse's timeline. All predetermined destinies began to be rewritten, which attracted my attention."
"I tried to investigate your true background, but I failed. A gaze, from I don't know where, warned me. At that moment, I felt so insignificant!"
Molecule Man spoke emotionally about everything that had happened to him, finally staring intently into Kytheron's eyes again.
"You're looking at me like that; you're not going to say that the person who warned you with their gaze was me, are you? Don't joke around!"
At this moment, Molecule Man inadvertently revealed a trace of will beyond the full-energy level, making Kytheron feel a sense of pressure.
However, his powerful adaptive characteristic quickly enabled him to resist this pressure.
Eternity, standing nearby, also got caught in the crossfire, and he didn't have such a quick adaptation ability. So, even though he was just an avatar, a trace of cold sweat, which shouldn't have been there, surprisingly appeared on his forehead.
A will that traversed time was already so terrifying; what if he truly faced it with all its power? How horrifying would that be?
"Alas! It's better not to be this Creator God!"
At this moment, only this thought surfaced in Eternity's mind!
There was no other way; he had suffered too many consecutive blows in such a short time, shattering the Dao Heart he had cultivated over billions of years into pieces.
As for what Molecule Man said, although Kytheron was also somewhat startled, he didn't think it was himself.
It was more likely the mysterious existence behind the System in his mind.
After all, to make Molecule Man, who had seized the power of the Beyonder, feel insignificant—Kytheron himself dared not imagine what kind of realm that was!
"No need to be puzzled, that is you, or it can also be said that it is not you, at least not the current you."
Facing Kytheron's skepticism, Molecule Man replied with absolute certainty.
"What makes you so sure that's me?"
Kytheron didn't know how Molecule Man was so certain that the threatening gaze was his, and instinctively retorted.
"I don't know, but my feelings never lie to me."
Molecule Man didn't explain anything, just shook his head with a slightly weathered expression.
"Alright! I'll reluctantly believe you for now. So, when can we counterattack the Beyonder?"
Upon hearing this, Eternity immediately gathered his fragmented Dao Heart. Dealing with the Beyonder was a matter of life and death; his shattered Dao Heart could slowly mend after this crisis was resolved!
"It's not time yet. When the time comes, I will naturally inform you!"
Molecule Man spoke in riddles, which made Kytheron's teeth itch a little.
He hated two kinds of people in his life: one was a riddle-teller, and the other was someone who prevented him from becoming a riddle-teller.
