Devouring the Storm Beast Alive
The purple, exiled light dissipated.
The feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and Jiang Li's feet firmly landed on the hard ground.
A gust of wind, filled with decay and death, blew in our faces.
Jiang Li raised his head and looked around.
There is no sky, no sun or moon. Above is a chaotic grayness, as if the universe existed before it was fully developed.
The land beneath my feet was an endless expanse of barren Wasteland.
But what's extremely strange is that this wasteland is piled with "garbage" that doesn't belong to the same era.
To Jiang Li's left lay a wrecked S.H.I.E.L.D.. Helicarrier; to his right, a rusty Mjolnir was stuck in the ground; and not far away, there was even a 17th-century pirate ship and the wreckage of a crashed UFO.
This is the end of time.
The Void.
"Run!! The monster is coming!!"
"Don't go that way! It's hungry!"
Suddenly, a terrified scream came from behind the ruins not far away.
Dozens of "time variants," dressed in clothing from different eras and with different appearances, were running wildly in the opposite direction from Jiang Li.
Some of them were human, some were Skrulls, and there were even a few mutants with crocodile heads. But at this moment, the only expression on their faces was utter despair.
Rumble--!!
The earth began to tremble violently.
Jiang Li ignored the fleeing variants and slowly turned around to look at the horizon ahead.
A massive purple storm, too enormous to be described in words, was sweeping across the land with an overwhelming force that blotted out the sun!
Amidst the storm, the head of a colossal beast composed of purple lightning and dark matter could be vaguely seen. It had no fixed form, only two enormous eyes emitting blinding white light, and a Abyss maw that seemed capable of swallowing the entire Earth.
Alioth.
This ultimate monster, born during the Multiversal War, feeds on timelines and spatial matter. In the Void, it is the absolute scavenger. Anything touched by it is instantly and completely erased from the concept of "time".
"Roar--!!!"
Alioth let out a roar that shook the void.
The wreckage of several alien warships along the way, along with a few slow-moving time variants, turned into nothingness and ashes the moment they came into contact with the purple storm, without shedding a single drop of blood.
"We're doomed... it's found us..."
In the distance, several time variants hiding behind rocks closed their eyes in despair.
Alioth's two enormous eyes, like those of a star, were fixed on Jiang Li, who stood motionless in the center of the Wasteland.
Boom!
The purple storm suddenly accelerated, like a collapsed sky, opening its massive, thunderous maw capable of swallowing a city, and lunged fiercely at Jiang Li!
"Feeding on timelines and space?"
Jiang Li slowly raised his left arm.
Thumbs up, press down hard!
Boom--!
A blinding green light shot into the sky from this desolate the Void, even momentarily overshadowing Alioth full of purple lightning!
The green light dissipated.
Jiang Li's human body disappeared.
Standing on the ground was an alien creature that was not particularly large, but had an extremely ferocious and bizarre appearance.
It had rough, dark green skin and short, thick, powerful limbs. The most terrifying thing about it was its mouth. It was a gaping maw that took up half of its face and was covered with Abyss of serrated fangs.
Even on its belly and palms, several small mouths, equally covered with fangs, had split open.
The Peragita Galaxy, the Mutant Gluttony.
Ultimate Gluttony!
This is the purest "glutton" in Jiang Li's gene pool. Its stomach is not an organ, but a miniature universe connected to an extradimensional black hole! No matter, energy, or even dimensional concepts, once it eats them, they will be forcibly digested!
At this moment, Alioth's purple storm had completely engulfed the area where Jiang Li was located.
The variants in the distance sighed, assuming that the one who didn't run away had been eliminated.
However.
At the center of the raging purple lightning.
"Roar?"
Alioth suddenly let out a low growl filled with an extremely human-like "doubt".
It discovered that its invincible law of devouring had failed. The short, green monster at the center of the storm had not only not been eliminated, but instead... opened its mouth.
"Hiss--!!!"
Jiang Li, transformed into [Ultimate Gluttony], suddenly opened that terrifying Abyss maw!
It's simply a matter of taking a deep, forceful breath!
Buzz--!
A super gravitational force ten thousand times more terrifying than the collapse of a star erupted from Jiang Li's mouth in an instant!
This gravitational force defies all physical laws; it acts directly on the origin of Alioth.
The sky-covering purple storm suddenly seemed to be swept into a giant toilet, and in an extremely distorted and exaggerated manner, it frantically poured into Jiang Li's not-so-large mouth!
[WARNING! An extremely dangerous source of predation has been detected!]
[The body's essence is being lost!]
Although Alioth is Beast, it possesses the instinct for survival. It is horrified to discover that it, this "time-eating monster," is being eaten by someone else!
"Roar!!!"
Alioth let out a piercing scream, desperately trying to turn around and retreat.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
Jiang Li's roar, echoing with countless reverberations, exploded in the storm.
The little mouths on his abdomen and palms also opened at the same time!
Gravity increases tenfold in an instant!
"Come in!"
Boom!
Alioth's massive, mountain-like purple storm body was forcibly torn apart and, like eating noodles, was brutally sucked into Jiang Li's stomach!
Purple lightning exploded in Jiang Li's mouth, yet it didn't even break a single one of his teeth. The waste energy from the timeline flowed down his esophagus and directly into the extradimensional black hole within his body, where it was instantly converted into pure reserve power by the Omnitrix.
Glug. Glug. Glug.
In just over ten seconds.
The ultimate behemoth that once blotted out the entire sky of the Void has shrunk dramatically in size.
From a vast sky, it shrank to a dark cloud, then to a wisp of purple mist.
"Belch..."
Jiang Li abruptly shut his mouth and let out a very loud, satisfied burp.
A puff of purple time energy smoke billowed from his nostrils.
The Void fell completely silent.
The wind stopped. The purple lightning disappeared.
Only the green monster remained, standing in the middle of the ruins, patting its round belly.
In the distance, the time variants hiding behind the rocks were completely dumbfounded. Their mouths were agape, and their eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.
Alioth, who eats all the powerful beings in the universe like snacks and is beyond the control of even the TV series...
He just gulped it down in one go?!
Swish.
A flash of green light.
Jiang Li deactivated the [Ultimate Gluttony] form and transformed back into the young man wearing a black trench coat.
[Ding! Successfully devoured the Time Dimension Behemoth!]
[A massive amount of timeline primordial energy has been detected!]
[The watch face's backup battery is fully charged.]
[The system has permanently logged the ' Time Devouring ' attribute to the underlying firewall!]
Jiang Li ignored the terrified variants.
With Alioth, the ultimate "Watchdogs," The Void devoured, the mist at the edge of the Void finally dissipated.
Jiang Li raised his head, his gaze passing over the ruins and looking towards the distant end of the void.
There.
On an extremely large asteroid that shimmers with an eerie light.
An ancient, majestic black castle stands, exuding an aura that suppresses the entire Multiverse.
That is the Citadel at the End of Time of Time.
"Finally found you."
Bang!
Jiang Li exerted force with both legs, and the ground instantly collapsed. He transformed into a dark golden streak of light and shot towards the Citadel at the End of Time!
