Judging by the epicenter of the Eternals' final battle, the nascent Celestial slumbering within the Earth's core was destined to awaken and emerge from this very location.
This was undoubtedly the closest entry point.
Expanding the absolute vision of the Six Eyes, Su Mu didn't detect any high-energy lifeforms in the immediate vicinity. Without hesitation, he dove directly into the bubbling magma of the active volcano, plummeting straight toward the center of the Earth.
The thousands of degrees of scorching magma couldn't harm Su Mu in the slightest. Energy Absorption flawlessly isolated all external thermal energy, ensuring that not even a single thread of his clothing was singed.
As he ventured deeper, the subterranean pressure grew exponentially more crushing. Yet, Su Mu's velocity didn't decrease in the slightest; he maintained his supersonic descent.
After some time, he finally breached the bottom of the magma chamber, encountering an impossibly dense layer of bedrock.
Without slowing down, a crackling sphere of purple imaginary mass materialized in front of him. Hollow Technique: Purple effortlessly annihilated the miles of bedrock in his path, carving out a perfectly smooth tunnel that allowed him to continue his plunge.
Abruptly, Su Mu halted his descent.
Within the energy vision of the Six Eyes, an impossibly massive, humanoid silhouette radiating boundless cosmic energy appeared. It looked like a primordial Titan straight out of myth, slumbering silently in the absolute depths of the planet!
Searing geothermal energy and planetary lifeforce continuously surged into the colossal infant's body, passively absorbed as the necessary nutrients for its incubation.
This was the true nature of the Celestials. They seeded their young within the cores of populated planets, relentlessly draining the world's lifeblood to grow. And the moment they fully matured and emerged, the host planet would be violently, apocalyptically shattered!
Looking at the slumbering baby Celestial, a deeply mysterious, sinister smile curled Su Mu's lips.
He teleported directly to the nascent god's colossal head and gently placed his palm against its surface. Brilliant, pulsing yellow energy began to rapidly spread from his hand, violently weaving its way across the Celestial infant's forehead...
Even a fully matured Celestial was ultimately bound to the tier of a single-universe powerhouse. They could not completely immunize themselves against the absolute, conceptual authority of an Infinity Stone—let alone an unborn, incubating infant!
Under the absolute domination of the Mind Stone, the infant Celestial's developing consciousness was violently hijacked, completely rewritten, and molded entirely to Su Mu's will.
Once the glowing yellow circuitry had completely integrated with the Celestial's massive body, Su Mu smiled in profound satisfaction. He opened a portal and casually stepped back into his Malibu mega-mansion.
The trap was flawlessly set. Now, all he had to do was wait for the Celestials to arrive!
A few more days passed peacefully. Su Mu hadn't encountered any Celestials yet, but he did receive an unexpected visit from Tony Stark.
Tony's current physical condition was far from ideal. He was covered in bruises and abrasions, and there was a massive, searing burn mark stretched across his chest.
Activating the Reverse Cursed Technique, Su Mu instantaneously healed Tony's battered body. He asked with genuine curiosity, "What exactly did you do to get yourself so beat up?"
The current Tony Stark had mastered both cutting-edge technology and Kamar-Taj mystic arts, possessed a symbiote, and was already in the final stages of perfecting his bleeding-edge nanotech armor.
His overall combat power was dozens of times higher than his canonical counterpart at this point in the timeline. Even the Hulk would struggle to defeat him!
Furthermore, the Ancient One had recently confided in Su Mu that once he left this universe, she intended to temporarily hand the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme over to Tony Stark, trusting him to safeguard Earth until Stephen Strange was ready to inherit the title.
This proved that the Ancient One fully acknowledged Tony's absolute strength, believing him entirely capable of defending the planet for the next several years.
So, with Tony being this ridiculously overpowered, how on earth had he gotten injured?
Tony let out an exasperated sigh.
"I was just relaxing at my mansion a few days ago when I was suddenly ambushed by dozens of glowing, red-hot superhumans. Even though I deployed the nano-armor and used magic to eventually wipe them out, I couldn't avoid taking a few hits...
"Your healing ability really is something else, by the way. My injuries completely vanished in seconds. You know I had a broken rib, right?"
Su Mu offered a mild smile at the praise. "I take it those dozens of individuals were super-soldiers injected with the Extremis virus, correct?"
Tony looked visibly taken aback. He hadn't given Su Mu any detailed information about the attackers yet. But then, realization dawned on him. Su Mu had consistently demonstrated terrifying precognitive abilities; of course he already knew about the Extremis threat.
Tony shot him a deeply resentful glare.
"You clearly knew this was going to happen, yet you didn't warn me? I wouldn't have gotten my ribs cracked if you had just sent a text!"
"But you didn't die, did you?" Su Mu chuckled. "And you gained some valuable combat experience. Isn't that a win?"
"I suppose..." Tony muttered begrudgingly. "Anyway, utilizing the symbiote you gave me and the physical vessels of the Eternals, I completely reverse-engineered their properties. I've finally perfected a brand-new generation of nano-armor!"
Tony tossed a sleek, incredibly futuristic metallic wristband to Su Mu and continued explaining.
"This housing unit compresses billions of highly advanced nanobots. The very first time you equip it, the matrix will neurologically bind to your brainwaves. After that, you can deploy the suit entirely through thought alone.
"The armor's structural integrity rivals the cosmic plating of the Eternals, and it possesses the absolute, self-replicating regenerative properties of the symbiote. Its only inherent flaw is that it requires an absolutely astronomical amount of energy to operate... but I figured that wouldn't be a burden for you in the slightest!"
Snapping the sleek band onto his wrist, Su Mu willed it to activate. Instantly, a fluid, liquid-metal swarm of microscopic nanobots surged from his wrist, rapidly cascading over his entire body.
Once completely enveloped, Su Mu felt his baseline physical strength artificially augmented, even without actively channeling his cursed energy. Furthermore, the nanobots flawlessly responded to his mental commands, seamlessly shifting their molecular structure to mimic any style or texture of clothing he desired!
Su Mu was incredibly satisfied with his new toy.
After sending Tony Stark off, Su Mu began actively experimenting with his invisible pocket dimension (the inner space of the Limitless).
As his absolute power continued to skyrocket, even though the Limitless skill was still technically at Level 4, its conceptual authority had vastly expanded. His pocket dimension was now massive, encompassing thousands of cubic meters of spatial volume.
Su Mu hypothesized that once a character template broke past the absolute limits of a single universe and reached the Multiversal tier, the cosmic energy provided by the Infinity Stones would suffer severe diminishing returns. He would inevitably need to secure a much higher-dimensional energy source to continue leveling up.
After careful deliberation, Su Mu solidified his grand, ultimate roadmap for progression:
Create a Universe! He would use his pocket dimension as the foundational bedrock to forge a genuine, self-sustaining universe from absolutely nothing!
Sinking his consciousness into the pocket dimension, Su Mu first extracted the Eternal Flame, suspending it high in the center of the void.
The blinding, unquenchable cosmic fire burned violently like a miniature sun, brilliantly illuminating the entirety of the spatial pocket!
Under Su Mu's absolute, microscopic manipulation, the boundless thermal energy radiating from the flame began to flow according to highly complex, esoteric geometric patterns. He was utilizing the Barrier Techniques (Kekkaijutsu) from the Jujutsu Kaisen universe! Fueled by this god-tier cosmic energy, the Barrier Techniques operated at an apocalyptic capacity, rapidly stabilizing the pocket dimension and aggressively expanding its spatial borders!
Next, he activated the Casket of Ancient Winters.
An absolute, apocalyptic cold violently erupted at the bottom of the pocket dimension. The freezing cosmic winds rapidly condensed, forging an incredibly dense, ultra-hardened layer of primordial ice that served as the foundational "landmass"!
With Su Mu forcefully directing the Casket's output, the pocket dimension's expansion rate accelerated exponentially!
Two absolute, opposing cosmic forces representing Yin and Yang perfectly intertwined within the void, giving birth to the primordial prototype of a world. Maintained by Su Mu's absolute control, the pocket dimension—though barren—was now structurally sound and permanent!
The combined cosmic forces of the Casket and the Flame aggressively pushed the spatial boundaries outward until the pocket dimension finally stabilized at the size of a small town!
Furthermore, as the absolute heat and absolute cold continuously clashed and harmonized, they began synthesizing an entirely new, higher-quality conceptual energy. While this synthesized energy was currently still a tier below the raw output of an Infinity Stone, it possessed infinite evolutionary potential.
If this was merely the result of fusing the Eternal Flame and the Casket of Ancient Winters... what would happen if he eventually integrated the Phoenix Force and other high-dimensional cosmic energies?
It would undoubtedly forge a supreme, conceptual energy that vastly transcended the Infinity Stones!
And Su Mu was absolutely certain he would achieve this. His intuition told him that his current Level 5 Energy Absorption and Level 4 Six Eyes were already capable of manipulating minuscule fragments of the Phoenix Force.
Once those skills reached Level 8 or Level 9, what was stopping him from flawlessly dominating and integrating all cosmic fragments? He could actively sculpt his pocket dimension into a true, boundless Multiverse, effectively ascending to an Omniversal-tier entity!
Using his Barrier Techniques to permanently anchor the dimension's stability, Su Mu set his five-year development plan:
Traverse the Multiverse and parallel realities to hunt down supreme artifacts containing infinite energy. Continuously upgrade the pocket dimension until it evolves into a pocket universe, and eventually, an Omniverse!
Devour massive volumes of energy to unlock and master new, overpowered character templates.
Relentlessly train and level up his core skills.
Erasing the holographic energy projections floating in the air, Su Mu prepared to open a portal to attend one of Tony's lavish parties. But suddenly, his Six Eyes violently flared! He slowly turned his gaze toward the sky.
At the absolute edge of his cosmic vision, a titanic, metallic giant—infinitely more massive than any mountain, boasting a physical vessel larger than Earth itself—materialized in the void of space. The entity radiated an apocalyptic, suffocating wave of pure cosmic radiation.
Even though the entity was technically beyond the visual range of the Six Eyes, Su Mu could clearly perceive the violent, churning maelstrom of absolute, boundless cosmic authority it projected.
It was the Prime Celestial. The leader of the space gods.
Arishem the Judge! (Author's Note: Arishem the Judge) At Kamar-Taj, the exact microsecond Arishem manifested, the Ancient One snapped her gaze upward. Her eyes seemed to pierce through the fabric of spacetime, locking onto the apocalyptic, planet-sized giant looming just outside Earth's atmosphere!
In the next moment, her gaze shifted down toward Malibu. The white-haired man was also staring up at Arishem. Yet, facing the leader of the Celestials—a primordial, Universal-tier god that had existed since the dawn of time—there was absolutely zero fear in his eyes!
But the Ancient One knew that courage could not mathematically bridge a dimensional gap in raw power. She couldn't understand why Su Mu hadn't fled the universe when he had the chance. But now that Arishem had arrived, it was too late. He was doomed.
The disparity in power was simply too absolute. It was like a praying mantis trying to stop a speeding chariot—sheer, arrogant folly!
The Ancient One let out a heavy, complex sigh, her mind weighed down by unspeakable thoughts...
...
Meanwhile, in Asgard, deep within the heart of the golden palace, Odin was violently awakened from the Odinsleep by the terrifying cosmic turbulence.
His single eye pierced the cosmic void, locking onto the celestial giant descending upon Earth. He instantly realized exactly why the Prime Celestial had come.
The White Demon! Realizing this, Odin also sighed heavily. He deliberately chose not to inform Thor of this apocalyptic development, terrified that his hot-headed son would foolishly abandon everything to help Asgard's benefactor.
While Su Mu had saved Asgard, Odin absolutely could not gamble the survival of his entire realm by challenging a Celestial.
He had a duty to protect the tens of thousands of innocent Asgardian citizens!
This was the heavy burden of a King, and the absolute helplessness of a ruler...
In his youth, Odin had proudly donned the Destroyer Armor and arrogantly challenged the Celestials. Even clad in his ultimate weapon, he had suffered a crushing, humiliating defeat. Let alone now, with the Destroyer Armor destroyed and his physical vessel rapidly failing!
I can only pray that the Judge finds you innocent, young man. Odin silently offered a helpless prayer to the void.
But down on Earth, completely contrary to Odin's and the Ancient One's despair, Su Mu stared at the looming, planet-sized giant with uncontainable, absolute euphoria!
He casually raised a hand, slowly and deliberately smoothing his white hair back, slicking it completely out of his face to reveal a deeply arrogant, predatory expression.
FWOOSH! Massive, thirty-meter-long holy white wings violently erupted from his back, granting him an apocalyptic, omnidirectional surge in raw power!
The three Infinity Stones floated out of his pocket dimension, violently orbiting his body and radiating searing, blinding cosmic light. Energy Absorption Lv.5 activated at maximum, absolute capacity, completely ignoring any physical strain as it frantically devoured the infinite power!
Invisible vectors violently swirled around Su Mu, and the very fabric of space began to tremble and fracture. Augmented by the absolute, microscopic precision of the Six Eyes, Su Mu flawlessly tuned his physical and cursed state to its absolute, theoretical peak!
Come on down, eternal space god... Come and claim your gift!
