chapter 302 part 1
Chapter 299: A Completely Different Multiverse Story
Volthoom felt that his fate was truly star-crossed. How could all sorts of bizarre characters find their way to him, and each one was stronger than the last?
"Krona? I remember that guy, a despicable Maltusian, the same race as Ganthet and that group of cold-blooded, ruthless villains!"
Volthoom shouted angrily, his emotions exceptionally intense, so much so that the Emotional Spectrum subconsciously began to stir, but it was quickly suppressed by Du Wa.
"Since you are the spokesperson for the Emotional Spectrum, you should know that Krona isn't despicable. He's different from all other Maltusians and was even willing to take commendable actions to correct his people's mistakes," Du Wa said faintly, bathed in the power of the Emotional Spectrum.
Krona had a profound impact on the history of the DC Multiverse.
When the Guardians of the Universe created the First Legion, a group of robots, in an attempt to rule the universe and maintain order, Krona took action. He modified the First Legion's programming, causing them to go on a rampage and commit a horrifying massacre.
And Atrocitus, the leader of the Red Lantern Corps, was a survivor of this massacre. Because of this, he developed an endless rage that attracted the attention of a red power ring. He vowed to kill all the Guardians of the Universe and destroy everything related to them.
Furthermore, through a taboo experiment, Krona triggered a terrifying cosmic big bang, successfully gathering the anti-matter in the multiverse and allowing the Anti-Matter Universe to be born—at least, from a mortal perspective, this is how the Anti-Matter Universe appeared.
As for things like Krona imprisoning the seven emotional entities and launching attacks on the Guardians of the Universe and the Green Lantern Corps, those were merely minor interludes.
"I need Krona. He has great value, perhaps even greater than yours," Du Wa said.
"Value? The value judged by the God of Xenomorphs is truly difficult to comprehend. You actually think a lowly Maltusian would be more useful to you? I am the First Lantern, able to wield the Emotional Spectrum at will! Unless you completely abandon the Xenomorphs and devote yourself entirely to the Emotional Spectrum, you won't be able to perfectly unleash its power, but I can help you achieve that!"
The First Lantern tried to stop Du Wa from resurrecting Krona, but he obviously failed. He had neither the ability nor the qualifications to sway Du Wa's will.
Du Wa made his move directly, but instead of resurrecting Krona from the level of time and history, he chose a safer method: resurrecting Krona from the Emotional Spectrum.
The Entity of Existence and Black Hand sensed it immediately and naturally tried to stop him. But the moment they attempted a cross-dimensional attack on Du Wa, Du Wa casually swatted them down, weakening the two entities.
"Your main battlefield should be that Dark Universe full of zombies. If you dare to show your faces here, you'd better think carefully about the consequences. I don't mind sealing you two away first."
Du Wa threatened the two entities and successfully resurrected Krona.
"Very good. Death really didn't do anything, although even if I had dragged Krona out of history, she most likely wouldn't have interfered."
Du Wa mused. He could ignore Marvel's Death, but DC's Death was far too dangerous; he had to take her into account.
Krona looked at the scene before him in a daze. His gaze paused on Volthoom for a second, then swept over the dazzling, tangible Emotional Spectrum all around, and finally settled on Du Wa. "It seems the Main Universe has undergone earth-shattering changes. Ganthet and that bunch of fools have finally lost control of the First Lantern, and even the Emotional Spectrum is lost... Respected unknown deity, may I be so fortunate as to know your name?" Krona squeezed out a difficult smile on his sinister-looking face.
"You are not worthy."
"Then what should I do?"
"Embark on an adventure that would make even a deity gasp in admiration. The multiverse within your perception, and all things beyond it, will firmly remember your name," Du Wa said.
Krona lowered his head. "Although I'm still not entirely sure what to do, I think I'll find out soon enough, and I absolutely cannot fail... I am more than willing to undertake adventurous things, as long as I can acquire more knowledge and unravel more of the unknown."
His greatest achievement was creating the Anti-Matter Universe, with a diameter of thirty-two trillion light-years, through a single experiment. And the ruler of the Anti-Matter Universe, the Anti-Monitor, had created and participated in many great events that changed the multiverse.
And now, Krona only needed to look at the First Lantern Volthoom and the Emotional Spectrum to know that what this strange deity wanted him to do was destined to be incredibly insane.
Volthoom looked at Krona and sneered, "Everything you can do, I can do too. A lowly and hypocritical Maltusian is worthy of shouldering a great mission?"
"We haven't seen each other in a long time, Volthoom. Is this how you treat an old friend?"
"Friend? Pah! I wish I could exterminate your entire race!"
Volthoom and Krona erupted into a fierce argument.
Du Wa gave each of them a hard slap, sending them spinning. "This matter is very important, so my patience is extremely limited. I don't want to hear you questioning me again and again, let alone arguing. Arguing wastes time."
A short while later, a horrified Krona, under the protection of the Emotional Spectrum and Xenomorph power, entered a space-time tunnel specially opened by Du Wa and vanished.
*I have always firmly believed that only a being with abundant emotion has the right to stand firm in the universe, but the God of Xenomorphs's request is simply too insane, completely unheard of... However, can one really use this method to cross the Source Wall and make contact with an unfamiliar multiverse...?*
Krona, of course, knew of the Source Wall. After confirming he was to travel to another multiverse, he was utterly dumbfounded. If he hadn't been sure that Du Wa's attitude was completely serious, he would have even thought that Du Wa's brain had been fried by the Emotional Spectrum.
It meant bypassing the Source Wall? That was the Source Wall, a barrier that countless gods revered and despaired before, a wall that locked down all possibilities and separated the multiverse from the mysterious outside!
Countless ancient gods had explored the secrets of the Source Wall, and every single one of them ended up trapped on the wall, enduring a reality more filled with Despair than Death itself.
But now, he, Krona, was about to surpass these ancient and powerful deities, shouldering the commission of the God of Xenomorphs to create unprecedented history!
Krona's heart burned with immense passion. After becoming a Xenomorph, he harbored increasingly fanatical thoughts, and from that moment on, he vanished from the DC Multiverse.
The disappearance of a mere Little Blue Man normally wouldn't cause any ripples, but many were closely watching Du Wa's every move, especially since they knew Volthoom had been in Du Wa's hands for some time.
"The Emotional Spectrum showed a subtle movement. Heh heh, although I've never overlapped with the Emotional Spectrum, we still have a little something in common when it comes to extreme emotions."
