Let There Be Light
As Xia Yu spoke, he circled around the ball of light.
"Not going to say anything? Then I'll just start?"
Xia Yu reached out and placed his hand on the ball of light, feeling the power of the Source, and immediately began absorbing it.
"Um?"
A few seconds later, Xia Yu hummed in surprise.
No matter how hard he tried to absorb it, the ball of light remained completely still, and the Source within it did not leak out in the slightest.
The ball of light seemed to be surrounded by a transparent protective shield, tightly locking in the energy inside.
Is there some kind of protective measure in place?
Unconvinced, Xia Yu switched hands, but his Source energy remained completely still.
Instead, several words composed purely of light appeared on the ball of light.
Fate cannot be changed!
"Bullshit! I've already changed my fate. Otherwise, why would you be trying to reverse it all?"
Xia Yu slapped the protective shield with one hand, making a loud thud, and said provocatively.
"Everything can start over!!"
The light rays reassembled these words.
"Then what?"
Xia Yu plopped down on his seat.
"Having absorbed the gem from Tony's body, I'll be unharmed even if the universe were to be destroyed. You have no choice but to start over."
"Starting over would require you to invest a massive amount of your Source to reshape the Infinity Stones, and I would have to absorb them one by one again. How many times can you recreate them?"
This was the most shameless method Xia Yu could think of; he couldn't reverse the ongoing destruction of the universe.
The Source energy contained in this ball of light was at least several times greater than that contained in Xia Yu's body.
However, it is ultimately an inanimate object, only able to move along a predetermined path, either repaired or destroyed and rebuilt.
Therefore, the final victory will inevitably belong to Xia Yu.
As soon as Xia Yu uttered those words, no more characters appeared on the ball of light.
"I know you have some basic thinking ability. Let's talk. You're bound to lose if this continues. Why don't you release your defensive shield? I'll preserve a sliver of your consciousness. In the future, you can choose to become a real person or an artificial intelligence."
"Even if you want to be an FJ cup, I can fulfill your wish and even introduce you to a friend."
Xia Yu rubbed his hand against the protective shield as if petting a puppy.
He had just secretly calculated that this protective shield would be very difficult for him to break through easily.
That's why I plopped down and started chatting with it.
Unfortunately, it didn't want to chat with Xia Yu.
It's unclear whether Xia Yu's FJ cup stung it, or whether Xia Yu's petting-like gesture made it feel uncomfortable.
A tentacle composed entirely of Source energy squeezed out from a gap in the protective shell.
"Snap!"
Like a thick whip, it lashed Xia Yu so hard he fell flat on his face.
"You son of a bitch!"
Xia Yu landed face-first on the ground, caught off guard, and immediately started cursing.
"I was careless and didn't dodge! You, the so-called Cosmic Will, are shameless and lack Martial Virtue!"
"Smack!"
Another one.
"You think I wouldn't dare fight back, do you!"
Xia Yu jumped up instantly.
Although the Cosmic Origin is powerful, firstly, it lacks combat experience, and secondly, a single tentacle is indeed no match for Xia Yu.
After fighting for a while, they probably sensed that one of the tentacles posed no threat to Xia Yu.
The ball of light flickered, and four tentacles emerged one after another.
He then proceeded to whip Xia Yu repeatedly.
Xia Yu's combat experience was incredibly rich, despite only having four whips.
With each gesture, whether dodging or defending, he easily withstood the attacks of the four whips.
"You're useless. Even if there were eight, let alone four, they wouldn't be able to do anything to me."
Xia Yu even had time to point at the ball of light and say something.
As soon as he finished speaking, four more tentacles stretched out.
Eight tentacles lashed out at Xia Yu, covering the sky.
Xia Yu dodged left and right in a series of movements.
"What the hell? You mean eight, really eight? Are you Illaoi, the Kraken Priestess? Have you ever played League of Legends?!"
Perhaps sensing Xia Yu's predicament, the eight tentacles increased their speed and began to lash out at Xia Yu from all directions.
This really put Xia Yu in a bind.
"Hahaha!"
Three words appeared on the ball of light.
"Are you fucking flirting with me?"
I'm serious!
Xia Yu neither dodged nor avoided the situation, remaining standing still.
Use a spatial barrier at will, or simply raise your hand to withstand the attack.
He took all eight whips without moving.
"Keep laughing, can't you tell I'm just teasing you? Do you really think eight whips are enough to beat me?"
"To tell you the truth, this level of energy is completely useless against me. Even if you hit eight, let alone eighty, I couldn't even feel a scratch if I took it head-on with my butt."
The ball of light seemed to be locked in a contest with Xia Yu.
As Xia Yu provoked them, the eight tentacles slowly retracted.
A huge tentacle, about ten meters in diameter, is about to burst out of the protective shell.
The instant the protective shell broke open.
Xia Yu's eyes lit up; this is exactly what he'd been waiting for.
He flashed to the front of the protective shell, taking advantage of the moment before the tentacles emerged after the shell broke open.
Xia Yu brazenly exposed his own body.
His soul and body are both composed of pure Source.
The body exploded, along with the shattered protective shell.
It blasted the newly formed portion of the tentacles into nothingness.
A hole ten meters in size appeared instantly in the protective shell.
The Cosmic Will reacted quickly; within microseconds, the large hole began to close.
But this amount of time was more than enough for Xia Yu.
The soul entity floated directly into the protective shell.
Without launching any attack, Xia Yu's true spirit directly hid inside the Soul Stone.
"Since you like starting over so much, I'll give you a complete overhaul."
The entire soul entity also recklessly self-destructed within the ball of light.
"Boom!!"
Xia Yu's soul and body both self-destructed, directly blasting this ball of light, which was the core of the universe, into dissipated Source energy.
With that explosion...
Black holes collapsed in almost all Parallel Universes at roughly the same time.
The entire universe began to shrink, and all life and matter transformed into the most Source energy, slowly flowing into the space where Xia Yu was located.
In this space, besides the Source energy, there is only a Soul Stone floating in mid-air.
It took the place of the original light cluster, replacing the core, and began to absorb more and more Source energy from the outside.
Using the Soul Stone to protect the true spirit was something Xia Yu learned from Yuwen Feishuang.
The so-called Cosmic Will is merely a complex arrangement of energies that grants it a tiny bit of the ability to think.
Xia Yu has now directly disrupted this sorting.
Xia Yu's true spirit began to control all the Source energy.
This is the energy of the entire Marvel Universe.
The entire world has turned into Chaos. Now, if someone outside the world were to observe this singularity...
You will find that the whole world is in a state of Chaos.
Inside, besides a true spirit, there was an abundance of Source Chaos energy.
In the void, Xia Yu's consciousness slowly awakened.
With a single thought, the soul coalesces, and the body coalesces anew.
There was still a huge amount of Source energy around him; it wasn't that Xia Yu didn't want to absorb any more.
Instead, Xia Yu wanted to reserve some energy to construct a Matter Universe.
"Damn it, I realize how little I know when I need it. I don't know how to create worlds either. Maybe I should get Tony and the others out first; he's better at that kind of thing."
Xia Yu scratched his head.
A Soul Stone appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The so-called inability to be resurrected after dying in a sacrifice simply means that the souls of the deceased are absorbed by the Soul Stone. The souls of other deceased people also go into the Soul Stone, but they are not absorbed. Instead, they are reincarnated through a channel built by multiple gems.
This is also the conclusion Xia Yu reached after obtaining the complete Source; the Infinity Stones are not simply the Cosmic Origin.
They establish the rules of the universe.
The early Asgard sought to rebuild these rules through the Nine Realms and the World Tree.
They attempted to construct an independent microcosm within the universe, but for some unknown reason, they failed.
Xia Yu carefully extracted Natasha's soul from the gem's Source.
They then brutally extracted the souls of the Original Avengers.
At this point, the soul is merely a muddled energy entity, having lost its own consciousness.
However, Xia Yu needed to use some methods to restore their consciousness.
"But it seems to lack a bit of a sense of ceremony."
Xia Yu scratched his head and counted the souls in his hand.
Including Hulk, there are now exactly 7 members of the original Avengers.
Xia Yu revealed a mysterious smile.
A bamboo frame appeared out of thin air beside Xia Yu, with vines following closely behind, twining around the frame and growing and blooming.
In the blink of a Kung Fu, seven enormous gourds hung down from the shelf.
With a wave of his hand, Xia Yu sent the seven souls into seven beams of light that disappeared into the gourd.
Xia Yu certainly wouldn't be stingy with these seven people.
With a thought, a massive amount of Chaos energy surged into the seven gourds.
Strengthen these seven souls and build them entirely new bodies.
I don't know how much time passed, but the seven gourds wobbled and fell down.
The clicking sound continued.
Tony, Natasha, Hawkeye, Captain, Banner, Hulk, and Thor all emerged from the gourd.
Xia Yu scooped Natasha up in his arms and planted a hard kiss on her red lips.
He shouted loudly to Tony and the other six, "Children, you're finally born! I'm your grandfather!!"
After explaining everything to Tony and the others, the group sat in a circle in the void, lost in thought.
"That's the situation. I can create anything, but creating a Matter Universe with complete physical rules and capable of operating on its own is not my forte. I need your help."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Tony and Banner.
These two were the only scientists present.
Banner scratched his head.
"I have no experience in this area either, but we can try starting with the Sun System. If we get the Sun System sorted out first, we can revive the people on Earth, right?"
Tony was much more direct. "You can give me a job, but at least give me something. Right now, it's completely empty. What am I supposed to do? Aren't you an omnipotent god? At least create something first."
Tony pointed around, at the barren emptiness and darkness.
"I didn't know what to do, that's why I called you all out. Tell me, what should I create first? How about we have hot pot first?"
Xia Yu patted his stomach and said.
Since the start of the war, Xia Yu seems to have not eaten anything.
I'm not actually hungry, but I just want to eat.
"All you know is eating. Create something else first. You're supposed to be a creator god, please! I'm just an employee. Hurry up, or you'll regret it. Think about how God does things."
"Oh well!"
Xia Yu gave a helpless smile.
After thinking for a long time with his head down, he finally raised his hand and snapped his the Snap.
"First... there must be light!!"
