chapter 305 part 1
"Hehehe, it seems we've succeeded. This is the first time I've seen so many powerful gods. With my power, I'm not even qualified to see their full forms."
Krona's expression was exceptionally twisted. This was a remarkable achievement. To see a host of gods appear one after another, scrambling because of the massive explosion he had created—all of it sent him into a state of pathological ecstasy.
Wonderful, truly wonderful. Even gods had to bow before his talent.
Loki sneered, "Although the initial phase of the plan is complete, if not for Du Wa's protection, you and I—mere pawns—would have been obliterated by these terrifying beings long ago. How could there be anything left to follow?"
"We are not dead, which means Du Wa still needs us to serve a greater purpose. I have already proven my value. As for you, the great God of Stories, aside from assisting me, I haven't seen you do anything outstanding. It makes me question the purpose of your existence," Krona said.
Loki replied frigidly, "Fool. You're just an ancient being from the real world, not even a god. You haven't mastered that Emotional Spectrum you mentioned, so how could you possibly detect the traces of my actions? The God of Stories drives the narrative, a narrative that includes you. It's impossible for you to perceive my influence."
But Loki's mind was no longer on Krona. His gaze was fixed intently on the Intersection Zone. Even while being watched by terrifying and ancient gazes, with the immense pressure being blocked by Du Wa, he had not given up hope and was prepared to take the next step at any moment.
He had not forgotten what Du Wa once told him. Even if he didn't trust Du Wa, he at least had an opportunity to come into contact with the unfamiliar stories of another world to rapidly advance his own metamorphosis. That was enough.
He was currently an incomplete God of Stories, inherently deficient. The simplest and most direct way to complete himself was to absorb new stories to fill in his own design.
"Even though I haven't entered the story on the other side yet, simply by using the power of stories under Du Wa's guidance to directionally detonate Krona's experiment, my own story has already seen a tremendous improvement just from witnessing a corner of another world converge." Loki's eyes turned red.
With the convergence of the Main Universe, the Marvel Universe was on high alert, and of course, the DC Comics Universe side had also noticed.
Ghost, who had been staring fixedly at Du Wa's every move, was desperately suppressing the urge to act. His gaze swept past Quantum Batman and fell upon the Main Universe.
In an instant, he felt it.
"That's right, I'll never forget this aura... This is the fluctuation of the rules of another multiverse! You bastard, you actually did something like this!!"
Ghost flew into a rage. No longer able to restrain himself, he launched a fierce attack on Quantum Batman, who clung to him like a maggot on a bone, trying to break through his obstruction and quickly enter the Main Universe to prevent the situation from worsening.
"Bruce, you have no idea what Du Wa is doing! He's trying to recreate Universe 9602, using two critically important Main Universes as material! This means that in the future, the two multiverses will inevitably undergo a large-scale convergence and fusion!"
The mere thought of such a scene made Ghost feel as if he'd been plunged into an ice cave, enveloped by a bone-chilling cold.
He had worked with the Living Tribunal to facilitate the fusion of two single universes that had accidentally converged. He naturally knew how powerful a being the Living Tribunal was—a level he could not fully assess.
Ghost didn't believe that the Living Tribunal was the strongest individual in that world. There might be other terrifying beings in existence!
If the Main Universes of two vast worlds converged, the channel constructed would be far more stable and resilient than the one between the two ordinary single universes that had converged before. That would be a huge problem.
Ghost could almost see countless gods, both familiar and unfamiliar, appearing one after another, rampaging through the endless void, igniting a terrifying war that would sweep across the Omniverse.
Once it reached that point, countless worlds would be annihilated as easily as dust by the aftershocks of the battles erupting everywhere. Trillions of lives would perish effortlessly, wiped out before they even understood what was happening.
Ancient gods would also die, and an unprecedented great reshuffling would occur.
Most importantly, this multiverse was a world sealed by the Source Wall. Countless gods had tried one after another to crack the mystery of the Source Wall in order to obtain the power of the Origin and explore the secrets Outside the Source Wall.
Now, if a new and reliable channel to contact and enter another immensely vast world appeared, who the hell would be stubborn enough to keep bothering with the Source Wall? Of course, they would pack up their belongings, gather all their power, and charge recklessly into the other world!
Even if it meant fighting a war that would tear the infinite worlds apart, they would not hesitate!
At this thought, Ghost felt a wave of dizziness from his anger. Endless wrath erupted from him, and the hatred in his heart seemed as bottomless as the abyss of Hell.
He felt as if he had become a spirit of rage like Eclipso! When was the last time he had been this infuriated?
Oh, it was also because of the evil, despicable, and cruel Du Wa.
Ghost let out a crazed roar. Terrifying green flames seemed capable of incinerating all things in the world, yet they could not break through Quantum Batman's seemingly dim blue barrier.
Quantum Batman was a great mountain standing before Ghost, firmly holding him back. "Du Wa mentioned to me that you are no longer the perfect spirit of vengeance you once were. The power you took from The Presence has long since returned to its rightful place. The you of today isn't even qualified to enter Heaven."
Ghost's defenses shattered on the spot. He hysterically launched a frenzied attack, tearing at the quantum power.
The passage of eras can change so much, and Ghost had inevitably grown weaker through natural development.
Compared to the likes of the Voice of God, the Eye of God, or the Grand Architect God, he was pitifully weak. Even if he were to face his archnemesis, the true spirit of rage, Eclipso, Ghost would likely be on his knees.
"Since you know of The Presence's existence, you should understand that The Presence is always watching here! He knows everything you are doing, and you will surely face the supreme judgment!" Ghost roared.
Quantum Batman said no more. He knew this wasn't directed at him. Sure enough, Du Wa's voice emanated from his body: "You're right. The omniscient and omnipotent Presence knows everything I am doing. The camp of light cannot tolerate a single grain of sand. But then again, all things in the world have always existed in a game between light and darkness. Every thought and action is part of that game."
The Presence was not omnipotent; The Great Darkness was his equal and opposite. These two were at the absolute apex, above the omniversal level, the final end point of everything.
Were The Presence and The Great Darkness formidable? Yes, of course they were. But Du Wa didn't think he was important enough to make them act, because his own deeds were merely one manifestation of their eternal conflict.
Besides, how could the DC Comics' The Presence and The Great Darkness control Marvel's CAAT, One Above All, and the Original Beyonder?
