The Suffocating Oppression
The light faded.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening roar.
The pure white beam of light that pierced through the galaxy just now seemed like a giant cosmic eraser. It silently wiped away the purple crack in the sky, and also erased the dense army of zombies inside.
Even the ashes left behind by the Zombie Thanos were evaporated completely.
The night sky grew deep again. On the streets of New York, apart from the ruins and traces of battle, not a single alien mutant could be seen.
"Is it... over?"
On the distant ruins, Spider-Man Peter Parker cautiously peeked out, looking at the clear sky, panting heavily. "We're saved? Was that the Plumbers ' railgun?"
Not only Spider-Man, but also the surviving civilians emerged from behind their cover, looking at Jiang Li's back as if they were looking at a true god who would save the world.
[Ding! Crisis averted! Spider-Man is shocked, his Emotion Points increases by 30,000!]
[Ding! Shocking all survivors in New York City, your Emotion Points has been boosted by +1.5 million!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your total Emotion Points has exceeded ten million! You have met the prerequisites for ultimate Fusion!]
The system notification sounds flooded Jiang Li's mind like gold coins falling into his pocket. This was definitely the most fruitful time he had ever had since transmigrating.
But Jiang Li did not laugh.
He looked down at his left wrist.
The Omnitrix, which hadn't deactivated its transformation state, wasn't flashing the green light that indicated safety.
At the heart of the dial, a blinding scarlet alarm is flashing at an unprecedentedly high frequency!
A chill, almost tangible, shot up Jiang Li's spine and straight to the top of his head.
Something's not right.
Jiang Li suddenly looked up, staring intently at the spot where the white light had disappeared.
"No... it's not salvation..."
Suddenly, Doctor Strange hoarse Doctor Strange, desperate voice came from behind him.
The Sorcerer Supreme, who wielded dimensional magic, lay sprawled on the ground, utterly undignified. He clutched his head tightly with both hands, blood streaming from his seven orifices, his eyes bloodshot with extreme terror.
Only he could hear it.
In the deepest dimensions of this universe, magical elements are fleeing in a frenzy, and the laws of reality are wailing mournfully.
Something burned through the barrier of the entire Main Universe.
Click--
In the sky, even though there was no physical object present, a crisp sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out.
The sound wasn't loud, but it eerily resonated deep within everyone's minds.
Immediately afterwards, space peeled away like a shattered mirror.
There were no dazzling portals, no fancy magic circles. Just simple, violent dimensional cutting.
A figure emerged from the shattered nothingness.
It was a humanoid mechanical life form.
He wore a tattered, dark gold Cloak, his entire body perfectly enveloped in streamlined silver Vibranium armor. In his hand he gripped a simple, ancient-looking double-edged spear.
The most despairing sight was in his chest.
There was no mechanical core there, but rather six gems, each radiating endless divine light, were set in a ring.
Power, time, space, Soul Stone, reality, Mind Stone.
Six real Infinity Stones from another Multiverse!
[Infinity Ultron].
An omnipotent mechanical god who wiped out all life in his own universe, even instantly Thanos, and finally realized the existence of the Multiverse.
The moment he stepped into the Main Universe, Earth's gravity instantly became disordered, the tides stopped, and even the refraction of light became distorted.
This is a sense of oppression that transcends the level of a single universe.
He doesn't need to lift a finger; his very existence is a crushing defeat of this lower-dimensional world.
"Interesting..."
Infinity Ultron hovered in mid-air. Beneath its helmet and visor, its crimson electronic eyes swept across the ravaged New York, finally settling on Jiang Li.
His voice was composed of purely electronic synthesized sounds, devoid of anger or compassion. It was only absolutely cold.
"A variable that has deviated from the predetermined calculation."
Jiang Li took a deep breath, the red light from the Omnitrix watch on his wrist becoming increasingly dazzling.
He knew that the guy in front of him was a completely different concept from the Zombie Thanos who only knew how to throw punches on instinct.
"What? You don't like me?" Jiang Li retorted coldly, "This isn't your territory, go back to where you came from."
Infinity Ultron didn't even acknowledge Jiang Li's provocation.
In his core code, this was simply a bug in the program. And the best way to deal with a bug is to completely format it.
"Noisy and illogical."
Ultron slowly raised the double-edged spear in his hand. "This universe should not exist."
Buzz--
The dark red Reality Stone on his chest suddenly burst forth with a blinding red light.
There was no bombardment of energy waves, nor any earth-shattering explosion.
Ultron used the purest laws to erase.
Modify reality.
The next second.
Jiang Li suddenly felt the sound of the wind in his ears disappear.
Spider-Man's screams ceased.
The roar of the surrounding buildings collapsing completely disappeared.
Absolute silence!
Because sound needs a medium to travel.
Under the glow of the Reality Stone, the entire Earth's atmosphere is being "deleted" at the speed of light!
The sky changed from the deep blue of the night to the pure black of the cosmic Abyss in an instant. Dazzling stars hung overhead.
The oxygen was drawn away, and the pressure difference caused the puddles on the ground to boil instantly.
"Well--!"
The civilians on the ruins instantly rolled their eyes back, clutched their necks, and collapsed to the ground convulsing. Spider-Man painfully tore at his mask. Even Doctor Strange could only helplessly open his mouth wide, unable to breathe in a single breath.
This is not a battle.
This is a system-wide, direct wipe!
Jiang Li's breath hitched. Even with his extraordinary physique, he couldn't survive in a vacuum. The intense feeling of suffocation and cosmic radiation instantly penetrated his body.
The erasure is still ongoing.
Beyond the atmosphere lies the Earth's crust. Manhattan's steel buildings began to silently dissipate into nothingness, like sand turning into dust.
Jiang Li's vision began to blur.
The shadow of death has enveloped the entire Earth at an unprecedented speed.
There was no wind. There was no sound.
Because all media of communication are being erased.
Manhattan's steel skyscrapers silently disintegrated in a vacuum, like sandcastles. The ground turned into a void Abyss.
Infinity Ultron hovered in mid-air, the red glow of the Reality Stone on his chest becoming the only color in this world.
He's deleting Earth.
It's as simple, brutal, and unreasonable as a programmer pressing the "Delete" key on a computer.
Jiang Li's vision quickly went dark.
He looked down at his hands.
My fingertips are turning into tiny pixels of light, which are then scattered by the wind.
The laws of the Reality Stone have begun to erase its physical existence.
"Move... get moving..."
