Benny Becomes a Mother
Originally intending to use his own life energy to return all life on the Beast Ring to its most primordial state—the state of the annihilated Lord of the Void —he immediately changed his mind after seeing Ben's current state.
He and the Abyss immediately knelt down, bowing and worshipping Ben, chanting incomprehensible words such as: Creator of the universe, Mother of All.
"Stop the attack!"
The Lord of the Void issued commands to the Aleph Robot, and the densely packed combat robots seemed to freeze in mid-air, awaiting the next command.
What's going on?
Peter was still swinging the Aleph Robot around and smashing it, but the enemy suddenly stopped.
"The Mother of All? When did Benny become a woman?" he asked, puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe they mistook me for someone else," Harry chatted with him over the radio. "But it's best not to fight, I'd rather go back to playing games."
"That's strange, why don't they say that the Benny will have babies?"
Ben was also puzzled.
He had assumed that the Little Broken Watch's answer was to use the Cosmos Power to destroy these enemies, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
"What does the Cosmos Power have to do with these guys?" he wondered to himself.
Super-Kill's voice echoed in his mind, "I don't know, I need to look for information... Damn it, there's too much information in the Hive! And every time I check Venom Hive, I get corrupted by that bastard Venom's memories!"
In a sense, Super-Kill was born from Venom, but he utterly despises Venom.
However, Venom is quite unique among Symbiote. In every Multiverse, Venom leaves a significant mark. In some universes, he even replaced the Symbiote god with his host, becoming the powerful King in Black.
"What's the difference between this and making me eat shit?!"
"That's an exaggeration."
"Indeed, eating shit isn't this disgusting." Super-Kill grumbled, then fell silent after reiterating his intention to apply for workers' compensation.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Void had already deified Ben, prepared a devout eulogy, and recounted how they had followed "her" will all these years.
This series of reversals Ben somewhat bewildered.
He was all set to unleash his full power, but then the opposing team surrendered.
The power of hundreds of exploding stars was contained in a fist, yet it punched cotton.
Soon, Super-Kill returned, vomiting inside Ben's mind, carrying information he had gathered from other universes.
"I dare not look any longer, for fear that one more glance will cause it to explode," Super-Kill said, regarding Venom's brain as something like Cthulhu, which he found impossible to look at directly.
"In short, the Builders are the first race to exist Beginning of All Things. They worship the Goddess Creator Mother, who is also the universe itself," Super-Kill said quickly. "Now it seems that we, who possess the Cosmos Power, have been mistaken by this golden-haired guy as the Embodiment of the Cosmos."
"That's something to talk about."
Ben gradually understood.
A race that regards itself as a faith and Totem, just as the people of the Sakaar regard him as the Son of Sakaar, Supreme God.
This means he might be able to stop the crisis and regain a powerful army without even having to fight.
"According to the intelligence obtained from Morlun, the Time Administration Bureau is almost under Maltruant's control, even if it hasn't completely fallen out of control. Although they've sent Loki and Thor, they control Infinite Timelines. Their enemy isn't Maltruant, but themselves in the Infinite Universe. If they could bring the Builders under their command, their chances of winning in future Multiverse wars might be much greater."
With that thought in mind, Ben calmly walked toward the Lord of the Void.
As he approached, the golden creature's face lit up with extreme fervor, and it cried out passionately, "Mother!"
Ben:...
What the hell is your mother?!
I'm still a baby, not even two hundred months old!
"Puff!"
Peter not far away, almost burst out laughing. He turned his head and mouthed something to Harry, who was further away, and then the two of them simultaneously let out a silent laugh.
Even Norman Osborn couldn't quite keep his composure, letting out a maternal smile.
"Benny, I bet Ben and Mei don't even know how big your son has grown."
Ben's face darkened.
As his status rose and became more intimidating, more and more people looked up to him in awe, and only his old friends and elders dared to tease him.
Ironically, he couldn't bring himself to be angry with Norman.
This old friend treated him better than his own son.
However, since the sins of the father must be visited upon the son, he decided to go back and have the artificial intelligence Azmuth modify Harry's computer data, making every game he played incredibly difficult.
"Mother!"
I never imagined I would actually see your face.
The Lord of the Void, unaware of Ben's Abyss turmoil, prostrated himself reverently at Ben's feet, saying respectfully, "Originally, we believed these creatures were no longer qualified to evolve further, but since you are willing to give them a chance, perhaps you are right."
He decisively changed his tune and sent a communication to the Builders mothership.
"Alpha, evacuate."
Inside the mothership, the Constructors did not accept reality as calmly as the Lord of the Void.
Several Builder Elders sat around a round table, their insect-like faces bearing solemn expressions.
"It is Enigma Force, the one we once believed in, the goddess who created us and guided us!"
"What should we do? Leave?"
Some people are wavering and hesitant.
But others disagree. "Why leave? We created the Gardener System to determine the value of life in the universe, and the system has already given the answer: these people don't need to exist!"
"But the Creator Mother..."
"We have surpassed Him!" the Builders proclaimed. "Yes, He did create us, He did guide us, but things are not the same now."
"We have long since surpassed the Creator Mother and transcended faith! For billions of years, it is our race that has nurtured this universe, sown the seeds of civilization, and guided the direction of evolution!"
"We have never been conquered, we are immortal!"
"We are the shapers and Builders of this universe!"
"Now, our great 'Mother' stands in our way, but She is not omnipotent; we have long since surpassed Her and seen much further!"
"We should not back down, but rather correct the mistakes of 'Mother'!"
"That's nothing but an inferior life form that stole the power of the 'Mother,' an incompletely evolved life form! What's more, it's just an Earthling!"
Their ultimate goal is to destroy the Earth.
"Everyone, don't forget, only in this way can our universe remain safe amidst the Multiverse Collision," the Builders said. "Everything we do is for the sake of the universe itself!"
Anyone who stands in our way will be utterly crushed!
