I Am Just a Tourist

A red light shone from Kino's body, and he smashed through a spatial barrier in an extremely violent and rapid manner.

The scythe in his hand emitted Ultimate Black Light, like a virus.

The invaders continued to invade Kino's body. Although there were no visible wounds on Kino's body, black spots appeared one after another inexplicably.

Kino showed no intention of letting go, continuing to snap his the Snap to dispel the death energy within him.

But the black spots on his body did not disappear; instead, they slowly spread. This is the rule of death, one that even Kino cannot rewrite.

"Although I don't know what you're planning to do, you've chosen the most foolish path; you've grasped death."

The Black Death Emperor's voice echoed in Kino's mind; he intended to possess Kino's body.

Kino seemed not to hear, only smashing through the space in front of him until he finally arrived at his destination.

At the edge of the universe, before me stretched an infinitely extending wall, covered with reliefs of various creatures' skeletons.

The Origin Wall.

The boundary of the DC multiverse is such that any being that comes into direct contact with it is usually irreversibly "attached" and Eternity imprisoned.

This rule has been in effect for Darkseid, the New God, and numerous cosmic entities.

"Wait, you lunatic! Do you know what you're doing?!"

The Black Death Emperor's voice turned terrified.

The scythe erupted with a powerful Ultimate Black Light, forming a barrier to hinder Kino's advance.

"Of course, I will grant you Eternity!"

Kino's red light also erupted.

The Ultimate Black Light and the Chaos Magic collided violently, and the black barrier shattered like a mirror, cracking into a spiderweb pattern.

The red light surrounding Kino suddenly contracted, then instantly surged into a blinding blood-red light, rushing towards the Ultimate Black Light like a surging tide.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the black barrier shattered completely, turning into countless black fragments that scattered in the air.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kino charged headlong into the Origin Wall.

This enormous commotion was like a heavy bomb dropped into a calm lake, awakening the lives that were not yet dead on the Origin Wall.

"Two more have arrived. We've been getting quite a few customers lately."

"The embodiment of death, and the one who almost destroyed the entire universe not long ago."

"He's very strong; there aren't many among us who could beat him."

"No matter how strong you are, if you're not smart, you're just asking for death."

"Yuga Khan, he seems to have some connection with your son. Should we remind him?"

"Unnecessary..."

On the Origin Wall, those who had not yet died were exchanging words.

They had been trapped here for countless long years, and now that new "guests" had arrived, they watched with great interest, like onlookers watching a spectacle.

"Let go of me right now!"

The Ultimate Black Light on the scythe formed a phantom image, and the Black Death Emperor wanted to reclaim the scythe and get as far away from this madman as possible.

"Don't worry, I'll find you a spacious spot."

Kino grinned maliciously, grabbed the Black Death Emperor by the shoulder, and slammed them together against the Origin Wall.

Boom- -

A deafening roar, like rolling thunder, exploded at the edge of the universe.

The entire Origin Wall shook violently, as if a cosmic earthquake had occurred. This shocked all life on the Origin Wall; what immense power it must have taken to shake it!

"You madman, do you know what you're doing? We'll be trapped here forever, staring helplessly at the vast universe before us!"

The Black Death Emperor roared hoarsely, his voice filled with despair and fear.

"Let me go now, and maybe if we work together we can break free from the Origin Wall!"

The Black Death Emperor's body began to be covered by the substance of the Origin Wall, turning gray. He tried his best to raise his head, but Kino ruthlessly pressed it back into the Origin Wall with one hand.

With a dull thud, the Black Death Emperor's body was pressed tightly against the Origin Wall, his struggles appearing utterly futile.

Hahahaha--

Kino's laughter pierced the roar, filled with manic ecstasy. "Loneliness? You, the embodiment of death, are afraid of loneliness?"

The gray matter of the Origin Wall was devouring the Black Death Emperor at a visible speed, and every inch of its encroachment caused the ruler of death to let out an inhuman scream.

Kino pressed his face close to the Black Death Emperor, his eyes reflecting the other's terrified and angry expression.

"Do you know why we chose this place? The Origin Wall can imprison all existence, but for death itself, it is a more cruel punishment than Annihilus —you will witness the birth and death of countless beings, yet you will never be able to reap their souls."

"Just as you once said, death is a mercy to life!" Kino's laughter rang out again. "And Eternity is the greatest punishment for death! Hahahaha!"

The Black Death Emperor's gradually materializing phantom distorted violently due to extreme fear and rage, and the Ultimate Black Light on his scythe erupted once more.

His skeletal fingers gripped Kino tightly like iron hooks, and then with his last bit of strength, he slammed him down beside him.

At this moment, the two were like two unlucky insects, stuck in a strange position to an enormous "rat board"—the Origin Wall.

"You think you can escape? You can never escape death or get rid of the Black Death Emperor."

"The Black Death Emperor said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with resentment and malice."

Kino snorted coldly and without hesitation raised his hand to smash the wrist that the Black Death Emperor was holding.

The immense force caused the Origin Wall to tremble violently once more. However, the area in contact with the Origin Wall also began to slowly become covered with a layer of cold, gray substance.

Kino felt his body gradually stiffen, as if bound by an invisible shackle. His power was being continuously absorbed by the Origin Wall, and his abilities were as if sealed, making them unusable.

At this moment, only his consciousness remained active, and he could only quietly feel the loneliness in this endless void.

"Regretting it now? This is just the beginning," the Black Death Emperor sneered, seeing Kino's predicament.

"Utterly foolish!" a being trapped on the Origin Wall mocked.

"Kid, you're really out of your mind to come to the Origin Wall," another voice chimed in.

"Haha, two more newcomers have arrived. We can kill some time with them."

Various voices rose and fell, carrying a variety of emotions, including mockery, disdain, and even amusement at the spectacle.

"What a noisy bunch of losers!"

Kino irritably tried to interrupt the sounds, but couldn't block them out.

"..."

A brief silence fell over the surroundings. After a moment, the surviving beings on the Origin Wall slowly opened their eyes.

An immense, suffocating pressure enveloped Kino as if it were a tangible force.

"Loser? Little one, you don't even know why you're stuck here, yet you've learned to mock us 'old folks'."

"You think trapping the Black Death Emperor is a heroic feat? It's nothing more than dragging yourself into an even deeper abyss."

"Every crack here is etched with the despair of those who tried to break free, every grain of dust is wrapped with the cries of the defeated. Look at that Yuga Khan, his ambition burned even brighter than yours, yet now he too can only become a prisoner here?"

"Do you know why we still retain consciousness? Because the Origin Wall needs witnesses—to watch the cycle of the universe, to watch those who follow repeat the same mistakes, and you are nothing more than the next 'farce' to be watched."

A series of voices echoed Kino's previous words.

"Hahahaha, prisoners, farce, you've got it all wrong. I'm just a tourist, a visitor to the Origin Wall. When my time is up, I'll naturally leave."

Kino's voice remained calm, because he was never alone.
