At the end of time, Void Fortress.

Jiang Li looked up at the holographic screen in mid-air.

Three flashing red dots remain above, representing the last three evil Ben variants still wreaking havoc in other universes: Bad Ben, Benzarro, and White-Haired Ben.

"Traveling through five universes one by one would be a waste of time."

Jiang Li stroked his chin. He looked down at the Omnitrix on his left wrist, his fingers rapidly moving across the dial.

"Gwen, wait here for me a moment, I'll be right back," Jiang Li said.

"Okay, be careful." Gwen found a clean bronze slab to sit on, knowing that what was about to happen would likely be very one-sided.

Jiang Li pressed his thumb down on the dial.

Buzz!

With a flash of green light, Jiang Li transformed into a blue alien resembling a velociraptor, with wheels on its feet and wearing a black mask.

Galvan System, Beastmen.

[XLR8 (XLR8)]!

Although XLR8 was already extremely fast, Jiang Li was not satisfied. With a thought, he perfectly superimposed the Kryptonian's ultimate speed panel, which was enough to travel through time, onto this body.

Jiang Li raised his hand and simultaneously entered the three coordinates into the dial.

"Timer begins."

Whoosh--!

Without any initial movement, Jiang Li transformed into a streak of blue lightning, too fast even for light to detect, and plunged directly into a spatial rift that opened instantly.

Earth - Tyrant Dimension.

Inside a building that had been converted into a palace for dictatorship.

The Bad Ben, with his black hair, sat on his throne, looking down at the trembling rebels below, a cruel smile on his lips.

"Throw them all into the lava pool..."

Bad Ben raised his hand, just about to press the transformation button on his watch.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through the hall.

A blue phantom flickered before him for a fraction of a second.

Bad Ben was stunned, because he discovered that the mint green Omnitrix on his left wrist was gone.

"Where's my watch?!" he roared in terror.

Before he could react, his collar was grabbed from behind. After a dizzying spin, he was thrown directly into the Abyss lava pool outside the main hall, which was originally prepared for others. He only had time to let out a scream.

At the same time, in the Earth-Zombie Dimension.

Benzaro, a rotting, staggering Benzarro, is leading a horde of mutated monsters in an attempt to infect the city's last survivor camp.

Just as the survivors closed their eyes in despair...

Blue lightning ripped through the street.

Jiang Li didn't even stop moving; as he moved at high speed, the dial emitted a high-intensity green purification beam.

The beam of light swept across, instantly erasing the mutated virus from the Benzarro's body at the genetic level. His previously decaying body returned to a normal human appearance, then his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The purple watch face on his wrist was also forcibly locked by Jiang Li's low-level code the moment he passed by, turning it into a piece of scrap metal.

Earth - White Hair Dimension

The White-Haired Ben is engaged in firefight with the local Plumbers corps.

A flash of blue light streaked past. The White-Haired Ben felt a sudden lightness in his wrist, and was kicked away by a tremendous force, landing directly on the lightning rod of the Plumbers headquarters.

Inside the Void Fortress.

Gwen was looking down at her phone's photo album, selecting photos taken during her trip to Hawaii with Jiang Li.

Whoosh!

With a slight gust of air, Jiang Li's figure reappeared in the center of the hall.

He deactivated his [XLR8] form and reverted to his black-clad youth. Not even a speck of dust remained on the hem of his trench coat.

"All done?" Gwen looked up and checked the time.

From the time Jiang Li left until he returned, it took less than five minutes in total.

"Just a few headless flies without a leader."

Jiang Li casually tossed the three discarded watch faces he had confiscated from the evil variant into a corner like trash.

He looked up at the holographic screen.

All the red lights had been completely extinguished, and the timeline and spatial nodes of the Multiverse had returned to a stable green. The "Evil Variant Alliance" summoned by the Clockwork was completely uprooted by Jiang Li single-handedly in just half a day.

Buzz.

In the void, Professor Paradox, dressed in an old-fashioned trench coat, slowly walked out.

He looked at the data on the screen, all of which was green, and then at the Clockwork lying on the ground, powerless. He breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Lord Jiang Li, your efficiency is always astonishing."

Professor Paradox removed his goggles and bowed slightly to Jiang Li respectfully.

"On behalf of all life in the Omniverse, and all benevolent Ben Tennyson variants, thank you for your intervention. This interdimensional catastrophe is finally over."

"Let's skip the formalities."

Jiang Li waved his hand.

Jiang Li turned to look at Gwen, his gaze softening.

"Now, the mess here has been cleaned up."

Jiang Li took Gwen's hand, their fingers intertwined.

"Gwen, for a long time to come, we won't be bothered by any cosmic destruction or mutated monsters."

Jiang Li pressed the edge of the dial, and a blue portal leading to an unknown dimension slowly opened, exuding a warm feeling of sunlight and sea breeze.

Where would you like to go for a long vacation?

Gwen leaned on Jiang Li's shoulder, her smile bright.

I'll do whatever you say, wherever you want to go.

The two smiled at each other and walked side by side into the sunlit blue portal.

In the Void Fortress, only Professor Paradox remained, watching their departing figures and smiling with satisfaction.
