Chapter 313: When I Achieve the Megaverse-Level, I Will Grant You Another Boon
Du Wa had a conspiracy. There was definitely a follow-up plan; it was impossible that he would simply toss the Justice League and The Avengers into the Intersection Zone for some meaningless bickering.
Any half-brained individual could figure this out, and Loki himself was certainly aware of it. However, he couldn't possibly refuse Du Wa's demands. His strength didn't allow for it. And to increase his strength so he could contend with Du Wa in the future, he had no choice but to carry out Du Wa's command.
Then, Loki realized the tragedy of his situation.
"W-wait, I haven't completely become a Multiversal God yet!" Loki stared in horror at the two Main Universes ruthlessly colliding with him at the center, his eyes wide with fury and fear.
An endless amount of the Power of Stories began to erupt violently. Even though Loki had not yet perfectly wielded the Confusor, nor had he fully comprehended and controlled the stories of the DC World, he was just one step away. He already possessed the preliminary great power of a multiversal being. But Du Wa wouldn't give him time, much less allow him to be fully prepared before stepping up to fulfill his mission.
"Why the long face, Loki? As the sum total of all Gods of Lies, you should be the most skilled trickster in the Multiverse. So don't put on a victim's act. I am providing you with a grander stage, and I need you to devote your life to me in return."
Du Wa looked at Loki, whose face was completely contorted. He was no naive saint. Loki had to repay what was given. Besides, Du Wa had never truly parasitized Loki from beginning to end. What an immense favor was that?
He hadn't even made Loki praise him, not even once!
"What role do I play in your plan?!" Loki roared in grief and indignation.
Terrifying rumbles erupted one after another. The sudden, unusual movement of the two Main Universes had an unprecedented impact on their respective Multiverses.
The Main Universe is the core of a Multiverse. With the Main Universes shifting off-course, both Multiverses experienced a subtle displacement to one side, as if their very center of gravity had shifted.
This upheaval caused a moment of surprise and hesitation among the many gods of the two worlds, who then immediately displayed starkly different attitudes.
On the Marvel side, they were naturally fraught with worry. The Creator Gods all wore grim expressions as they took direct action, attempting to halt this change. Unfortunately, their attempts had no immediate effect.
"Du Wa has turned every single Xenomorph into a conceptual nail, driving them deep into the Main Universe to forcibly drag it!"
"This is difficult. Even if we stop Du Wa's actions on our side, we can't do anything to the Du Wa in the other world. This means the expansion of the Intersection Zone is inevitable. In the long run, if the powerful deities of the opposite world really choose to help Du Wa, the convergence of the two worlds will continue for a long time."
Death was still the most tense and anxious one. "To what extent will it continue? Is Du Wa insane? What good does this do him? Whatever he wants, he could have just told us, negotiated with us! How could he do something like this without our permission? He's too radical!"
Lord Chaos cackled strangely. "The worst-case scenario is, of course, the two Main Universes completely fusing into a new universe. When that happens, all gods will be able to enter each other's Multiverse at will, and a truly cruel and intense era will dawn... Hehehe, I wonder how many gods who can't keep up with the times will die a miserable death."
Death's own fate would certainly not be a good one. There was no doubt about that. She couldn't compare to the Death of the other world.
"But we must do everything in our power to prevent this outcome, and we have the ability to do so. We can't do it alone, but don't forget, we can still call upon the multiversal entities who have gone to the depths of the void. If we're lucky, these multiversal entities will know the origin of the opposite Multiverse," Infinity said.
Just like last time when it summoned the Fifth Multiverse to gang up on the First Firmament, the true strength of the Creator God system was never just the few of them on the surface. It also included the five multiversal entities, which was equivalent to adding five more multiversal-level combatants.
Oblivion still couldn't figure out the exact coordinates of the opposite world. "The otherworld must be beyond this megaverse we are in, in a much more distant region. I can't determine the situation over there. However, as the Intersection Zone gradually expands and the intensity of the collision between the two worlds increases, it's only a matter of time before we figure out their details. But there's one thing I'm concerned about right now... Why hasn't the Living Tribunal appeared? Isn't something this major worthy of showing up to pass judgment?"
Oblivion watched as Du Wa embarked on an unprecedentedly insane venture, one that was now doing something that would drastically shake the future of the Multiverse, yet the Living Tribunal remained silent.
After all, even now, they still didn't know what the situation was in Universe 9602, or how Du Wa had managed to enter the opposite Multiverse through it.
"I know what you are all thinking and hesitating about. Don't overthink it. This sort of event won't fundamentally change the Seventh Multiverse, let alone the entire Omniverse. It's not yet worthy of the Living Tribunal's intervention to correct it."
A seemingly ordinary Xenomorph flew directly before several of the Creator Gods and spoke slowly. Its form was incredibly minuscule, but not a single deity dared to underestimate it. Instead, they all revealed solemn expressions.
"Do you think you understand the Living Tribunal better than we do? You are nothing but an incredibly young god who has never even seen the Living Tribunal's true form!" raged Death.
Du Wa's voice remained calm. "Yes, I have not seen it, nor have I dealt with it. But I can be certain of one thing: in the eyes of the Living Tribunal, what is happening right now is utterly insignificant. Only gods at your level and mine would place such importance on it."
"Insignificant?"
"Yes. So what if I force the two Main Universes to collide and they completely fuse into a new universe? They are, in the end, two completely different Main Universes. After an endless eternity, their eventual re-separation is an unstoppable, overarching trend."
Because Universe 9602 was exactly like that. Even with the Living Tribunal and Ghost joining forces, they could only maintain and hide the existence of Universe 9602. They even left behind some fragments of the two universes from before the fusion, so that after Universe 9602 spontaneously separated, it could automatically restore itself into two independent universes and smoothly return to their respective coordinates.
If that was the case for Universe 9602, it was even more so for the two vitally important, massive, and rule-perfect Main Universes. Complete fusion would be temporary; separation was the absolute trend. To completely eliminate this trend is impossible. At most, it could only be delayed. For instance, if a slight separation occurred, Du Wa or other powerful deities could immediately intervene, willingly expending vast amounts of power to maintain the fused state.
Du Wa said, "When the time comes, it will be nothing more than some gods from the otherworld remaining here, or some of our gods being lost and entering the otherworld. But then again, even without me pushing for this collision, new gods are always born and old gods always die in the Multiverse. It's nothing to be surprised about."
To put it bluntly, from the perspective of the Omniverse, this trivial matter was barely worth mentioning.
