chapter 314 part 2
But that was in the past, a history that had been overwritten and revised, long since replaced by a new reality.
Ever since the Original Beyonder wreaked havoc across the Multiverse, causing reality to be shattered, repaired, and buried time and time again, and many powerful Gods to repeatedly experience death and resurrection, the Beyonders had been gradually abandoned by the Editorial Department.
Times had changed. The Celestials were the new personas used by the Editorial Department. Although only some of the Celestials were, it didn't change anything.
The new reality was that in the generation of the Second Multiverse, the Celestials created the Beyonders.
As for the Beyonders? An outdated species that should just obediently stay in the Beyond Realm outside the Omniverse until they died.
"We facilitated their birth. Now, we are merely asking them to observe the Multiverse, to use their perspective from outside the Omniverse to investigate which Megaverse's Multiverse the Otherworld converging with the Main Universe belongs to, and they completely ignore our request!"
"Hmph, our decision to abandon them back then was the correct one. Ever since the Original Beyonder created the Beyonders by segmenting his power, the flaws of these beings have been thoroughly exposed."
"The Beyonders have clearly slipped from our control. Since that's the case, we need not pay them any mind. Without the Original Beyonder, these guys are nothing special."
None of the Celestials present could reach a level above the Multiversal, so they lacked the ability to determine which Multiverse the converging Otherworld belonged to.
"So, without being certain of where Du Wa has made his arrangements in that Multiverse, should we still proceed? To kill Arishem and completely eradicate the legacy of the First Firmament, should we destroy the Alien Universe?"
"Let's do it. Du Wa has never been the problem. The First Firmament is."
"Look how long it's been. Ultron has already manufactured the basic framework of the first Dark Celestial."
Just as these Celestials were preparing to move against the Alien Universe...
In the Intersection Zone of the Main Universe, the battle between the two hero teams was also drawing to a close.
There was no process of searching for divine artifacts or exposing the mastermind. Driven by Du Wa, the Justice League and The Avengers fought the moment they met. Only by defeating the other side would they earn the qualification to seek revenge on Du Wa. Other than victory, there was no other path.
Therefore, both teams suffered heavy casualties. A whole swath of weaker, third-rate heroes had already died. The few powerful heroes leading the charge persisted in the battle, filled with blazing fury and ultimate sorrow.
Du Wa made his move. Using the Anti-Death Equation he had just acquired, he first revived the fallen heroes.
Just as the righteous heroes thought Du Wa intended to make them fight endlessly for the amusement of the Gods of the two worlds...
Du Wa began his next move.
"Loki, it's your turn. Just as Shuma-Gorath has his value—he brought me the Confusor and the Anti-Death Equation—it is now time for you to contribute."
Du Wa's voice echoed in Loki's mind. Immediately after, he took out the Confusor and threw it into the Intersection Zone.
"This is a divine artifact that can modify stories? Such a thing exists!" Loki was astonished, and an intense greed rose in his heart.
The identity of the God of Stories paired with the Confusor, which could modify and create stories—Loki couldn't imagine a better combination.
"What a remarkable fellow, to have quietly obtained such a prize, having planned all subsequent actions long ago..." Loki took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and began to attune himself to the Power of Stories from the Confusor.
Krona watched Loki with envy. From his current perspective, he felt like a mere puppet with no real prospects to speak of, a far cry from an extremely special individual like Loki, God of Stories.
Thus, Loki's power level began an unprecedented, frenzied climb.
"Yes, this is the feeling! I am becoming complete!" Loki's breathing quickened as he madly devoured the story content from the DC World, which brought him an unbelievable transformation.
Previously, he had managed to become the God of Stories by piecing together many Lokis. He had even once hated Du Wa to the core, trying by all means to fulfill his own goal of self-perfection. At this moment, it was finally realized.
The unfamiliar, brand-new stories brought Loki growth that far surpassed any time in his past.
The only unfortunate thing was that this transformation, just like the last one, still bore the shadow of Du Wa.
But Loki had no choice.
"Soon, I will have a choice! The history of the God of Stories being unable to even control his own story will henceforth be a thing of the past!"
Loki advanced toward the Multiverse level, destined to be the most special kind of Multiversal God, one fated to be transcendent, beyond the two worlds.
He was constantly on guard against Du Wa taking the opportunity to parasitize him, confirming that from beginning to end, his own concept of Story had not suffered an invasion from the Alien concept.
"I am about to become a Being equal to Du Wa! How could one Concept God be subjected to enslavement by another? Absolutely impossible! I will exist alongside both worlds, and from now on, Du Wa will be powerless against me!!"
Loki felt that he was finally free. He too would be high above, able to deploy his concept into the two worlds like Du Wa, traversing the Multiverse at will from now on.
But this vision of the future had not yet ended when it came to an abrupt halt. Loki heard only a deafening boom, accompanied by terrifying annihilation and reorganization.
Loki watched, stunned, as the two Main Universes took the opportunity to slam madly into him.
"Fuck!!"
