chapter 317 part 2
The Batman Who Laughs scrutinized the eye-demon. Everything depended on the actions of Cyborg Superman and Starro. He dared not enter the Multiverse himself, as he didn't believe for a second that Du Wa would consider him a harmless figure unworthy of attention. Thus, he could only use his limited means to control things remotely.
"Electrum, Batmanium, the Dionysium Factor, Nth Metal, and Promethium... they will all be gathered soon. Then, Barbatos can enter the Multiverse smoothly, and under his protection, I too will have the ability to enter."
The Batman Who Laughs entered the dark Zombie Universe and created a playground with a snap of his fingers. "I cordially invite the two Sinestros to come and play. What do you think?"
"A low-class trick. You talk a big game about having a plan, yet you've done nothing," the Phantom Lantern said with a cold expression.
The Batman Who Laughs tilted his head, his gaze falling thoughtfully on the black and white Lantern Ring on the other's finger. He was still unsure how Du Wa planned to handle the Emotional Spectrum. Surely he wouldn't be generous enough to just toss it to the First Lantern or Krona, right?
No way, no way?
But even if that were the case, it didn't matter. Everything was within his plan.
The Batman Who Laughs leaped lightly onto a carousel, propping his elbow on the horse's head and resting his chin in his hand.
"This is the worst replica of the Thinker I have ever seen," the Main Universe's Sinestro said coolly.
...
Meanwhile, in the Main Universe, Du Wa finally reached the most critical moment. Relying on the process of fusion between the cores of two Omniverses, when the impact reached a certain intensity, Du Wa obtained what he desired.
"This is it, the collision of two massive worlds..."
Brute force smashes through all obstacles. A massive collision of rules and information, occurring while countless Xenomorphs were deeply fused with the two Main Universes. With countless Xenomorphs bound to the worlds as they crashed, a few sporadic concepts were bound to emerge that Du Wa could benefit from.
This was the output from the core worlds of two Omniverses. Even the slightest sliver was enough.
An unbelievable fluctuation erupted from Du Wa, like a tide sweeping across the infinite worlds, wave after wave, dismantling the barrier of the Multiverse bit by bit.
Beyond the Multiverse, there are countless other multiverses. The convergence of these countless multiverses forms a Megaverse, its mass reaching a level that is difficult to assess, capable of wielding power far beyond the imagination of multiversal-level beings, reaching a whole new domain.
Now, Du Wa was launching the most critical assault toward this domain.
Many Gods naturally noticed Du Wa's unusual transformation, as it was impossible to hide. Every single Xenomorph scattered across the countless universes began to emit a similar fluctuation.
This was no simple energy wave, but a metamorphosis in his very standing. Even doing nothing, he naturally carried an immense weight, exerting a powerful pressure on weaker lifeforms.
Doctor Manhattan, who had been observing quietly without a word, slowly raised his head upon seeing Du Wa's change, once again entering a brainstorm. "So this is the method used by the God of Xenomorphs... But why pursue greater power? He already has incredibly powerful Xenomorphs, greater strength, life, purpose..."
He once again sank into philosophical contemplation; after all, he could hardly even muster an emotion like surprise.
The other Gods, upon figuring out what was happening, were astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Is this even possible?! If I'm not mistaken, this guy is trying to transcend the limits of the Multiverse and elevate himself to an even higher level?!"
"This scene looks familiar. When Du Wa was promoted to a Multiversal God, it was a similar scene. Every Xenomorph was resonating with Du Wa. No, it should be said that Du Wa had broken himself down into all the Xenomorphs."
"I see, I see. I knew it. The God of Xenomorphs is an extremely cunning fellow. How could he do something so risky for no reason, and he would never be so kind as to build a channel between two multiverses! So this was his goal!"
"I don't get it. Is this a unique promotion method for Concept Gods? Loki, God of Stories who came from the Opposite World, also took this path. I only saw Du Wa toss him a strange artifact and then use some unknown means to constantly resurrect fallen superheroes. Then Loki rapidly grew stronger, until he was slammed hard by the two Main Universes and preliminarily completed his promotion."
At this moment, Loki glanced over at the DC Main Universe. This single glance made his eyes burn with rage, so angry he could spit blood.
"You openly build your happiness upon my suffering?! How dare you!"
Loki pressed his left hand against the Marvel Main Universe and his right against the DC Main Universe, desperately trying to keep from being swept away by these two universes of exaggerated mass. He cursed while vomiting blood, nearly fainting from rage.
What kind of terrible story was this, to make the noble God of Stories feel such agony?
Oblivion, who was already at the Megaverse level, and Death (DC Comics), who still couldn't see the limits of her own strength and was striding towards a higher standing, understood the change in Du Wa more clearly. Both revealed looks of comprehension.
Indeed, this made sense.
The only question now was whether to disrupt Du Wa's actions. There didn't seem to be any good means to do so. It would mean simultaneously eliminating all Xenomorphs, which was a major problem in itself.
Du Wa's subordinates were not lower lifeforms without the ability to fight back. Although they wouldn't last more than a few seconds under a siege by numerous Gods, that would be more than enough time for Du Wa to secure his brief window of opportunity.
Just as the host of Gods flickered with various thoughts and intentions...
Over in the DC Main Universe, an anxious and impatient God was the first to act.
The great axe of Ares, God of War, was already thirsting for battle. It was time to restore the glory of The One!
But his current strength was not enough to swagger before powerful Gods, so...
"Metron, former God of Knowledge of the New Gods!" Ares roared.
