Interesting. Is it the Celestials, or some other rule-breaking existence?'
Ryan narrowed his eyes, feeling quite curious.
One must know that he had now gathered all six infinity stones.
He had truly advanced to the Universal level in every sense of the word.
Unless a multiversal-level existence arrived, nothing could pose a threat to him anymore.
And multiversal-level existences are far and few between in the entire Marvel Cinematic Multiverse.
Loki, the God of Stories, counts as one, but his restrictions are immense; he basically cannot leave his Golden Toilet. Even if he does, he can only do so by possessing other variants, which means he poses almost no threat to Ryan.
Moreover, he and the God of Stories are allies.
The second is the predecessor of Loki, the God of Stories: He Who Remains, Kang. Although in the plot where Loki becomes a God, it seems Kang the Conqueror died and handed his position to Loki.
But Ryan personally felt that things might not be that simple.
This guy probably just faked his Death to escape, much like the Ancient One did.
Then, he'll wait for the 'cycle' timeline when it's his turn to appear, and take back the position from Loki's hands as Victor Kang once again.
However, that point in time shouldn't come so quickly. By then, it's uncertain if Ryan himself will still be in this cinematic Multiverse.
Maybe he'll have run off to the comic Multiverse or some other Multiverse to play.
The third is Arishem the Judge, the leader of the Celestials. As one of the founders who created the Multiverse, Arishem's strength has undoubtedly reached the multiversal-level.
And compared to Loki, the God of Stories, Arishem has much more freedom and is far more active in the Multiverse, having planted Celestial seeds on countless life-bearing Planets and Universes.
Because of this, Ryan might actually clash with Arishem the Judge in the future due to the Celestial seed inside Earth.
The fourth, or rather the fourth, fifth, and sixth, are the three High Watchers of the Watcher Order. These three guys could crush even the six-stone Ultron like an ant; their strength has definitely reached the multiversal-level.
Although logically they are only responsible for observing the Multiverse and will not interfere in its affairs.
But who knows if they will be like in the 'what if...??' plot, where Uatu's interference in the Multiverse's affairs ends up affecting him.
Last time he was in the Zombie Universe, he sensed that big-headed Uatu peeping at him, wondering what bad ideas he was cooking up.
So Ryan had a premonition that he would definitely be dragged into it...
Then there are the Five Great Cosmic Entities: Eternity, Infinity, Death, Oblivion, and Galactus. In their prime, every single one of them is a solid multiversal-level power!
But except for Uncle Galactus, who is a bit more active, the other four are quite indifferent and rarely appear.
Especially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, only Eternity, Death, and Galactus have officially made appearances.
Eternity appeared at the end of Thor 4, resurrecting Gorr's daughter.
Death appeared in Agatha All Along, having a very melodramatic romance with Agatha.
As for Uncle Galactus, tsk tsk, unsurprisingly, he's either suffering a defeat or on his way to one.
In the New Fantastic Four, he was exiled to the edge of the Universe by those four underwhelming heroes.
As for Infinity and Oblivion, these two mysterious big shots haven't appeared in the cinematic Universe yet.
But unlike Uncle Galactus, these two don't have instances where their power plummets because they're hungry, so Ryan didn't want to run into them at all...
The above are the multiversal-level existences that have appeared in the cinematic Universe.
Others like Wanda, Jean Grey, and the Sentinel, who have the potential to advance to the multiversal-level but reached the Universal level at most in the films, won't be mentioned.
And besides the people mentioned above, there is actually one more person, the only one who transcends the Multiverse level.
That is the old man Stan Lee, who appears in every movie, including this Universe of his.
However, this old man is probably the one Ryan needs to worry about the least.
Because based on the old man's previous behavior of appearing in his Universe just to make a cameo, he has no intention of interfering; he's just here for a guest appearance.
So by process of elimination, Ryan felt that the danger warning his Spider-Sense just gave him most likely pointed towards Arishem the Judge of the Celestials.
After all, among these people, the Celestials, who act as cosmic Police, have the highest probability of clashing with him!
Whether it's the Celestial seed on Earth or his behavior of conquering other Universes, it's easy to provoke this group of cosmic loiterers.
However, his strength is almost sufficient now. Once he returns to Earth this time, he'll find a time to pull out the Celestial seed inside Earth.
After all, because of his existence, Thanos was killed early, so the Infinity Crisis definitely won't break out and reduce the population by half.
With the population not decreasing, who knows when Earth's population will hit the quota, and the new Celestial inside Earth will be born!
Oh, right, there's also Star-Lord's old man. That living Planet formed from a Celestial brain imitated Arishem and planted a devouring seed on Earth too!
He has to pull that thing out as well!
Thinking of this, Ryan was somewhat speechless.
Damn it, is Earth some kind of cosmic plantation?
Why is every kind of seed being planted on Earth?!
In the past, he didn't care and couldn't control it, but now Earth is his, and his strength is sufficient. Could he still let others act willfully on his Earth?
Naturally not!
Ego? He had blown up Planets before, but he really hadn't blown up a living Planet yet!
Arishem the Judge? Just a mere multiversal-level. If I can't win, can't I just run?
It's the same old saying: as long as I escape once, then you Celestials will be unlucky for a lifetime, until your race is extinct!
Shaking his head, Ryan stopped thinking and restrained the energy emanating from the six infinity stones.
As the terrifying six-colored currents of the Infinity Stones vanished from Ryan's body, the others finally dared to gather around.
"Ryan, are you okay?" The two Gwens checked Ryan's body up and down with worried faces.
"Ryan, what does it feel like to have the six infinity stones on you?" Odin asked with a curious face; after all, he had also tried to collect the six infinity stones before.
Ryan shook his head: "I'm fine. I was just adapting to the power of the six infinity stones just now. I used them once temporarily in another Universe before, and I was fine then, so I'll be even more fine now."
"As for what it feels like, it's tingly and numb, similar to electrotherapy. If you can bear it, your whole body feels refreshed; if you can't, you turn into a roast chicken~"
"It's good that you're okay. You gave us a scare just now; it's the first time we've seen such a huge reaction from your body!" The two Gwens patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
