Mobius Chair!
Jiang Li leaned against Darkseid's skeletal throne.
His gaze had just left the cold, pure blue "hydrogen atom" symbol on the star map.
Outside the main hall, fifty Marvel Celestials like silent, colossal statues, suppressing the Parademons of the entire planet.
Inside the main hall, apart from Jiang Li's steady heartbeat, the silence was maddening.
Sudden.
Jiang Li gently tapped the pale bone with his right index finger, which was resting on the armrest of the throne.
"I've had enough of the show."
Jiang Li did not turn around; his voice echoed coldly in the hall.
Aren't you going to buy tickets yet?
Buzz--
Less than ten meters above the throne, in mid-air.
The previously empty void suddenly rippled with an extremely subtle high-frequency ripple that transcended three-dimensional space.
It was accompanied by a very faint mechanical whirring sound.
A gigantic, ethereal blue chair with a design brimming with high-tech sophistication slowly emerged from four-dimensional space.
The Mobius Chair!
Seated in the chair was a man dressed in a blue and white bodysuit, with a cold expression and eyes that revealed absolute indifference to everything in the world.
Metron, the god of knowledge.
He is the most unique being among the New Gods, never participating in wars, only responsible for "observation" and "recording." The chair he sits in is connected to the origin of the DC Universe, and he is said to know all the secrets, history, and future of the entire universe.
He had witnessed the entire process of Jiang Li tearing apart the Steppenwolf and erasing Apokolips from the fourth dimension, all from the gap in the fourth dimension.
"You are very perceptive. A tyrant from another dimension."
Metron sat upright in the Mobius Chair, looking down at Jiang Li.
Even though Jiang Li had just defeated Darkseid in an instant, there was still no fear in his eyes. Because he was the embodiment of knowledge, if he wanted to leave, this chair could instantly teleport him to the end of time and space.
"I am Metron, the recorder of knowledge."
Metron's voice was devoid of emotion. "I have no hostility. I am merely observing a 'variable' powerful enough to cause a tremor in the Omniverse. Your existence has already shattered..."
"You talk too much nonsense."
Bang!
Metron hadn't finished his line.
Jiang Li, who was on the throne, suddenly rose up without warning!
It moved so fast that even the automatic warning system of the Mobius Chair couldn't react in time.
Jiang Li instantly appeared directly in front of the chair in mid-air.
"You!" Metron's expression finally changed drastically, and he slammed his finger on the teleportation button on the chair.
It's too late.
Jiang Li raised his right leg.
With terrifying kinetic energy capable of easily shattering stars, one kick!
It landed squarely and extremely roughly on Metron's cold face!
"Ugh!"
A piercing scream.
The so-called omniscient and omnipotent god of knowledge was kicked by Jiang Li, sending him flying off the magnificent Mobius Chair, teeth and all!
Like a tattered sack, it crashed heavily through the black metal wall of the main hall and fell into the ruins outside. Its fate is unknown.
"What are you trying to show off for?"
Jiang Li sneered, "Just a network administrator with a USB drive plugged in, does he really think he's a god?"
Metron's proud sense of superiority stemmed entirely from the chair he sat on.
If you just kick him down, he's not even as good as a slightly higher-level Parademons.
Jiang Li turned around.
Looking at the Mobius Chair before him, now devoid of its owner and shimmering with a ghostly blue warning light in mid-air.
"Warning. Unauthorized access."
The Mobius Chair emitted a cold, mechanical sound.
"Defense matrix activated. Spatial jump... Prepare."
The chair sensed danger and actually tried to run away on its own!
"Run?"
A glint of intensely fanatical hacker spirit flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.
"I've even hacked Darkseid's Mother Box to pieces. You, the most powerful server in the DC Universe, have delivered yourself to my doorstep, so today I'll strip you naked!"
Jiang Li slammed his left hand on the Omnitrix on his chest.
Smack!
A blinding green light from the system suddenly erupted inside the hall.
In the light, Jiang Li's human form instantly melted away.
It transformed into a liquid metallic life form that was black and green, covered with extremely complex high-dimensional circuit patterns!
[Upgrade (Upgrade)]!
Laugh!
Jiang Li, now in his Upgrade form, did not sit in that chair.
Instead, it transformed directly into a surging torrent of liquid metal, crashing violently onto the dark blue metallic surface of the Mobius Chair!
"Malicious code intrusion detected! Activate the New Gods ultimate firewall!"
The Mobius Chair vibrated violently, unleashing a high-dimensional electromagnetic pulse powerful enough to destroy galaxies, attempting to blast Jiang Li.
However, with the combined support of Galvan Prime's top technology and systems...
This kind of resistance is as ridiculous as a three-year-old pushing a dump truck.
"Break for me!!!"
The black and green liquid metal instantly seeped into every seam and every nanometer-level data interface of the Mobius Chair!
In just three seconds.
The chair, which originally radiated a deep blue light and was filled with the sacred aura of the New Gods.
It was savagely dyed into a black and green color that exudes the aura of a violent hacker!
In the very center of the chair, a gigantic green eye, swirling with endless code, appeared!
[Bite--!!!]
[The system has successfully taken over the "Mobius Chair (Cosmic Knowledge Terminal)"!]
[Highest physical privileges have been granted!]
This is the ultimate celebration for hackers!
"Cool!"
Jiang Li, now transformed into a chair, let out a maniacal laugh synthesized from mechanical sounds.
Next, the entire DC Multiverse, spanning billions of years from its inception to the present day.
Countless divine secrets, countless technological blueprints, the dimensional coordinates of all parallel universes, even the structural diagrams of the Source Wall...
Like a flood bursting its banks, it poured into Jiang Li's system database at a transmission frequency exceeding the speed of light!
[Ding! Successfully added the "X-Metal" forging formula!]
[Ding! Successfully acquired the incomplete code for the "Life Equation"!]
[Ding! Successfully captured the coordinates of the "Anti-Monitor"!]
Jiang Li was absolutely ecstatic!
Fighting to the death to extract genes—what's faster than hacking into the universe's vast database?
From this moment on, the entire DC Universe held no secrets for Jiang Li. He could even find out what color Batman's underwear was tonight!
However.
Just as this frenzied "hacking spree" reached its deepest, most fundamental core area...
A sudden change occurred.
The green data stream that was originally jumping wildly on Jiang Li's retina.
It suddenly froze without any warning.
Immediately afterwards.
Sizzle.
A strange, pure blue light, devoid of any warmth.
Like drops of ink in clear water, they abruptly spread across Jiang Li's green-coded field of vision.
[Warn!!!]
For the first time, the system emitted an extremely sharp, garbled alarm sound, similar to a "frizzy" explosion.
[Conceptual interference beyond the Multiverse level has been detected!]
Firewalls are being rewritten by physical laws of unknown magnitude!
[The Mobius Chair core database has issued a maximum-level warning:]
He is looking at you.
Buzz--
Time within the main hall stood still for that very second.
It wasn't that it was frozen. Rather, the physical concept of "time" was directly extracted from this space at this moment by some higher force.
Jiang Li's liquid metal body slowly detached from the Mobius Chair, fell back to the ground, and forcibly reverted to human form.
He looked up.
Above the dilapidated dome of the main hall.
The once pitch-black sky of Apokolips had, at some unknown time, transformed into a suffocating, blindingly bright pure blue.
And right in the center of that pure blue sky.
A bald man, radiating pure blue light and completely naked, appeared out of thin air.
On his forehead was a clearly visible black hydrogen atom symbol.
Those calm, unwavering blue eyes that seemed to see through all timelines, past, present, and future.
He was watching Jiang Li with utmost calmness.
Doctor Manhattan.
The true absolute ceiling of the DC Universe: the quantum observer, transcending the multiverse and above all gods.
It has arrived.
