The Void, Alioth the Time-Devouring Beast
weightlessness.
An endless fall.
The wind whistled sharply in Jiang Li's ears. The surrounding space was no longer a conventional three-dimensional physical world, but was filled with distorted and bizarre light.
Bang!
A dozen seconds later, Jiang Li slammed heavily onto an extremely hard piece of metal debris.
The powerful reaction force stomped a deep crater into the wreckage, but Jiang Li, thanks to the enhanced physique from his Omnitrix genes, stood firm without a scratch.
He looked up and glanced around.
There was no sun or stars in the sky. Only a chaotic, oppressively dark purple expanse.
Violent purple lightning flashed wildly through the clouds, without thunder, only the silent tremor of Soul Stone being torn apart.
This is TVA's dumping ground.
All the timeline branches that have been cut off, the remnants of parallel universes, and even living people will eventually fall here.
Jiang Li was standing on S.H.I.E.L.D. rusty wreckage of a Helicarrier.
In the distance, he could see the broken Golden Gate Bridge, the crushed Avengers Tower, and even a half-destroyed alien star destroyer floating in the distance.
"The Void, the Void at the end of time."
Jiang Li coldly observed this apocalyptic scene, showing no panic whatsoever. Instead, he even flexed his wrists with interest.
Roar--!!!
Suddenly, a terrifying roar, seemingly composed of the desperate cries of billions of Soul Stone, erupted from the deepest part of the Void, a sound that did not belong to any living being!
The sound disregarded the air medium and resonated directly in Jiang Li's brain.
Immediately afterwards.
On the distant horizon, an enormous, sky-covering, raging purple cloud of mist, like a tsunami, swept wildly toward Jiang Li's location!
Those were no ordinary clouds.
Amidst the churning clouds, a colossal demonic skull, as massive as a mountain, began to materialize. Two blinding red lights flickered in its eye sockets, revealing an extreme greed for devouring all matter.
[Alioth, the Beast That Devours Time!]
A conceptual behemoth born from the ruins of Multiversal War.
It has no physical form. Any conventional physical attacks or energy beams are meaningless to it. Its only instinct is to eat. To eat all the cosmic debris that falls here, to eat all the timelines that have been pruned.
Anything touched by its purple mist will be instantly wiped out and reduced to nothingness.
"Help! Help me!"
On a distant pile of ruins, a Loki variant dressed in Asgard armor and wearing a stag-antler helmet was scrambling and tumbling as it frantically fled.
He waved his hands, wielding magical green light, and desperately unleashed energy blasts into the clouds behind him.
But it had no effect.
The energy blast flew into the purple sea of clouds without even splashing a drop of water.
Boom!
Alioth's purple mist instantly engulfed the Loki variant. Without even half a second of struggle, a living god was reduced to a wisp of white smoke within the mist, completely obliterated from the dimension of time!
After devouring Loki, Alioth's crimson eyes suddenly turned towards Jiang Li.
It paused for a moment.
Then, the sea of clouds began to churn violently like never before!
It smelled it.
It detected the terrifyingly massive energy fluctuations emanating from Jiang Li's body. It was the system's computing power of 300 million Emotion Points, and even more so, the primordial aura of the remaining Six Infinity Stones!
To this Beast that feeds on devouring, Jiang Li was like a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh, exuding a deadly allure.
Roar!!!
Alioth abandoned all the surrounding debris, transforming into a purple hurricane that stretched across the sky, opening its Abyss maw composed of lightning and clouds, and biting down fiercely at Jiang Li!
A strong wind was blowing in my face.
The wreckage of the Helicarrier Jiang Li's feet was beginning to silently turn into sand and dissipate as the clouds and mist approached.
According to Loki's storyline, the only way to deal with this intangible monster without a physical form is to run away or use powerful mental magic to forcibly brainwash it.
But Jiang Li doesn't know magic, and he's never stooped to running away.
What do you do when you encounter a monster that has no physical form?
Then let's use absolute sound waves to shatter its concept into powder!
Swish!
Jiang Li suddenly raised his arms and crossed them sharply in front of his chest.
On the left wrist, the Omnitrix glows with a dark red, intense light.
Genetic Lock-in -- [Echo Echo]!
"System, activate the Ultimate for me!"
[Ding! Ultimate has begun! Gene recombination in progress!]
On the right wrist, the sub-dial glowed with a deep green light.
Genetic Lock-In -- [Way Big]!
At this moment, Jiang Li forcibly combined two powerful abilities!
"Devour time? I'll make you eat yourself to death today!"
Smack!
Jiang Li slammed both hands down on the watch face simultaneously!
Boom--!!!!!
A pillar of light, interwoven with dark red and eerie blue, instantly tore through the oppressive purple sky of the Void.
The violent dimensional repulsion force forcefully pushed back the oncoming Alioth clouds and mist by thousands of meters!
The light faded.
A colossal mechanical behemoth, standing 150 meters tall, stood atop the ruins of the Void.
He possessed the imposingly tall and slender physique of Way Big. However, his body was not covered in flesh and blood, but rather perfectly enveloped in an extremely thick, streamlined, dark blue soundproof armor.
He has no mouth; his face is a mesh metal plate resembling a sound diffuser.
The most terrifying thing is that dozens of giant black sonic discs, each over ten meters in diameter, are suspended on his shoulders, arms, thighs, and massive back!
These sonic discs, like satellites, slowly rotated around his body, emitting deadly blue arcs of electricity.
[Ultimate Echo Echo + Way Big]!
Ultimate physique! Absolute sonic control!
"Buzz--"
A deep, electric-like echo emanated from within the giant armor. Jiang Li's massive body trembled slightly, and the hundreds-of-meters-long wreckage of the Helicarrier beneath his feet was instantly reduced to dust by the invisible sonic vibrations.
In the distance, the purple sea of clouds in Alioth churned violently.
It seemed to sense the danger, but the Beast's greed overcame its fear.
It roared, condensing hundreds of cloud-like tentacles made of purple lightning, which, like divine punishment, swept over Jiang Li and began to strangle him!
Wherever the tentacles passed, space itself Oblivion.
Ultimate Echo Echo slowly raised its enormous blue mechanical arm.
It doesn't have a physical form, right?
Then let's shatter you all at the molecular level!
"Sound field... locked."
Jiang Li's voice, amplified by the giant speaker panel, was no longer a human voice, but an absolute frequency powerful enough to collapse the void.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of giant sonic discs that had been hovering around him instantly flew out.
They streaked across space with supersonic trajectories, leaving countless blue afterimages, and landed precisely in all directions around the vast cloud sea of Alioth.
This created an absolutely enclosed three-dimensional sound field array spanning tens of kilometers!
Alioth was trapped right in the center of dozens of sonic discs!
Jiang Li clenched his raised hands into fists.
The mesh metal plates on his face glowed with an extremely blinding, eerie blue light of death.
"Destruction Frequency-- "
"Play at maximum power!!!"
