chapter 302 part 2
Entities like Delirium and other mad beings immediately took notice, letting out peals of dangerous laughter. Du Wa was actually using the Emotional Spectrum, which meant he had preliminarily completed his control over it and his power had grown even greater. But it also meant that Du Wa was up to something—a major conspiracy.
"He resurrected someone and specifically used the Emotional Spectrum to do it... Was it to avoid me as much as possible? But why do that? It's not like I would deliberately target him."
Death was the most perplexed. Her power had already reached a higher level, and she had seen with a single glance the rampaging Black Hand being casually knocked away by Du Wa, and had seen Krona being resurrected from the Emotional Spectrum.
But she couldn't see what happened after that. Du Wa was doing his utmost to shield the matter of Krona. In fact, Krona had even vanished from the multiverse without a trace.
Death glanced towards the Source Wall. Hmm, no sign of Krona. The Dark Multiverse was also empty of him.
"It seems that fellow Du Wa has mastered a channel to outside the Source Wall. Has he secretly been exploring the secrets of the Omniverse already? But then again, that guy is full of secrets." Death's brow furrowed even more tightly.
She didn't actually feel absolute malice or hostility towards Du Wa, but it was also correct to view Du Wa as a being who was trying every possible means to elevate his status.
"Hmph, how pathetic. Such a special conceptual god, yet tied to a single race, inherently deficient. To be able to rank at the multiverse level is already inconceivable, but there's still a clear gap between him and us. What is he planning to do now to shorten that gap?" Delirium rested her head on the back of her chair and began to giggle foolishly.
Death retorted bluntly, "Don't forget, he has Quantum Batman and has sealed Doomsday. His power is in no way inferior to yours."
"Ha, after all that effort, you've finally said what you really think. So, you're already stronger than us? Death is Death... Second Sister, how did you do it? No matter how vast this world is, it's still just a multiverse. How have you surpassed us by so much?"
Several members of The Endless gathered together, staring warily at Death.
It wasn't until Dream returned from The Dreaming that they all scattered.
Dream grumbled, "These madmen... I can't believe I'm in the same family as these bizarre characters... I sensed an anomaly from Du Wa's direction, and I captured fragmented dreams. It seems Du Wa resurrected a life-form that had been dead for a long time."
"Let's wait with patience. Du Wa will soon give the whole world another big shock. Let's just hope it's a pleasant surprise and not a fright." Death couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong.
Du Wa was able to be the first to trigger the Flashpoint event, allowing them, The Endless, to enter the DC World more smoothly... Perhaps Du Wa had long held the coordinates to other worlds, and possessed stable means of teleportation.
"Perhaps, something entirely new will enter this world..." This thought suddenly occurred to Death.
There was a deity even more sensitive than the newcomer, Death.
The Spectre.
This fellow tried to follow Krona, but just as he was about to, he was intercepted by Quantum Batman.
"Du Wa's brainless lackey, get lost!" the Spectre berated.
"You aren't me, so how would you know I'm brainless?" Quantum Batman retorted. "Why don't you become a Xenomorph too? Then I can see whether you're brainless or not."
"I don't have time to discuss brains with a Batman! If you don't want a catastrophe to occur, you should be desperately resisting Du Wa's manipulation of you! I don't believe you're completely incapable of resisting!" the Spectre said impatiently. "Du Wa is on the move again! I have a premonition that he's going to get countless people killed this time!"
"It's fine. Du Wa will turn all those people into Xenomorphs. Even if a Xenomorph dies, it can achieve eternal life by Du Wa's side," Quantum Batman said unhurriedly.
The Spectre decided that Quantum Batman was beyond saving. His heart full of rage with nowhere to vent, he could only let it accumulate, causing his form to swell larger and larger, preparing to unleash something massive when Du Wa's plans came to fruition.
...
When Krona opened his eyes once more, he found that he was in his soul form.
*It seems I've died again. So where is my corpse? Hanging on the Source Wall? So, to enter another multiverse, you have to die first?*
Krona began to scrutinize this brand new multiverse.
Although the worlds were different, of the vast rules that sustained their existence, most of the basic ones were quite similar.
*This means this multiverse will most likely give birth to similar life-forms, such as humans... However, the Earth in my universe is the core that sustains its existence. What is the Earth here? I don't see anything special about it.*
Krona casually swept past several universes and was shocked to find a large number of Xenomorphs appearing in them as well. But he quickly came to terms with it, believing this to be only logical.
*Well then, I must complete Du Wa's command as soon as possible. He must be watching me... Although I still don't understand why he chose me. Clearly, fellows like Thanoseid were more suitable.*
Krona shook his head and finally entered the Main Universe. With one glance, he saw Thor, the God of Shadows, and Loki, the God of Stories, frantically tearing at each other. One chased, one fled. They'd fight for a bit, then continue the chase. Loki was his target.
"The time has come, Loki... I didn't expect you to be so numerous in this multiverse, with a version of you in every universe." Krona, with his hands behind his back, descended before the fleeing Loki.
Loki stopped, his face grim. He sized up Krona for a moment and immediately knew this was Du Wa's handiwork again.
"Get this straight, Xenomorph, I am not your kind. Stop speaking to me with that condescending attitude," Loki sneered.
"You, who have lived but a brief life, are like a toddler in my eyes. So I would advise you not to throw a childish tantrum. It will do you no good. Focusing all your energy on the truly important matters will benefit us both," Krona said.
"Benefits? The benefits Du Wa will get?"
"The benefits we both can get. I will gain knowledge, verifying my theories through the changes in the multiverse. And you will have the opportunity to go a step further and have Du Wa fulfill his promise."
"Well said. I am eager to see this story of another, completely different multiverse that Du Wa spoke of..."
