Back to the Lobby Bar! The Fulcrum and Arishem!

A strange light flashed in Chen Ji's eyes.

The Ancient One actually knew Tuwatu?

Tuwatu.

They are the Dark Watcher!

The leader of the Six-Finger Society!

If the Ancient One could lure out Tuwatu, then there would have been no need to create a trap and force out the Dark Watcher behind the scenes by kidnapping Homelander!

"If you want to see Tuwatu."

I can contact them for you.

"He often appears at the Lobby Bar."

The Ancient One replied.

"Lobby Bar?"

Chen Ji frowned.

This is the Fulcrum's territory.

Why is Tuwatu in this place?

Could it be that the Fulcrum is behind Tuwatu's machinations?

The Fulcrum.

Like Anchor Being in the Multiverse.

He was also the first person Chen Ji had ever seen to possess Divine Entry!

Even the Cosmic Celestial have to give him face; offending the Fulcrum will surely bring trouble.

"That's where you'll need to investigate."

"I'll set up the Lobby Bar for you."

The Ancient One gently raised a finger and pressed it against the wall beside him.

Moment.

The wall suddenly tore apart out of thin air, forming a spatial vortex with surging light.

You will then see a unique dimensional space.

A retro bar stands within the space.

Wow!

"Lobby Bar?"

"A bar only magicians can go to?"

"That's exactly what I'm looking forward to—a few drinks!"

Deadpool, Logan, Blade, and Gambit all smiled.

The group walked together into the Lobby Bar.

You can see all sorts of magical creatures sitting around a round table, speaking gibberish alien languages.

At the bar, a middle-aged man dressed as a bartender elegantly wiped the glasses, waiting for customers to order.

This Bartender Jack, may seem harmless, but he actually possesses a Divine Entry: Omniscience and Omnipotence!

However, Chen Ji couldn't be sure if the Bartender Jack in front of him was the same Bartender Jack he had seen before.

"List?"

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

"I've heard you've accomplished a lot; your name is the one I hear most often."

Bartender Jack's face lit up with delight.

Immediately, he greeted Chen Ji warmly and took the initiative to come to him.

This led Chen Ji to conclude that the Bartender Jack in front of him was the same Bartender Jack he had seen before!

"So the Multiverse only has one Lobby Bar?"

"There's only one Bartender Jack?"

Chen Ji was surprised.

This is unexpected!

However, while he remained outwardly calm, he was secretly scanning the area, trying to find the Dark Watcher, but he found nothing.

I simply sat down.

Deadpool, Logan, Blade, Gambit, Human Torch, Elektra, and X23 also gathered around the bar and started looking at the menu.

I'd like an ice-cold beer!

"Give me a whiskey."

"Cocktail, thank you."

The group began ordering their food.

I had no idea what to pay for at the Lobby Bar, since Chen Ji was there anyway.

Since everyone is spending money, Chen Ji naturally has to foot the bill.

"Give me a glass of mead."

"By the way, I'd like to ask you something, Jack."

"What news have you heard?"

Chen Ji handed over the Ancient Coins, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

After all, he hadn't been to the Lobby Bar in a long time.

His legend is actually here?

"Agamotto came last time, and he complained to me a lot, saying that you were outrageous and had ruined his plans."

"We almost sealed him inside a painting."

Is that really true?

Bartender Jack worked quickly, handing out glass after glass of iced drinks, his tone full of admiration.

He and Agamotto had known each other for a long time, but he had never seen Agamotto in such a sorry state, appearing in spirit form, seemingly on the verge of death.

"Even Ancient Gods come to the Lobby Bar?"

Chen Ji's pupils contracted.

"Certainly."

"But Ancient Gods can disguise themselves, and ordinary people can't recognize them."

"I can't breathe," said Bartender Jack with a smile.

"Is there any other valuable information?"

Chen Ji handed over another Ancient Coins.

This thing is the hard currency of the Lobby Bar, quite collectible, mainly Bartender Jack likes it.

"Then I'll tell you. The Ancient Gods have formed an alliance. Tartarus and God of Utgard will come after you sooner or later."

"How did you manage to offend so many Ancient Gods?"

Bartender Jack was also puzzled.

Tartarus was inhabited by the Titan Gods of Greek mythology.

Utgard is inhabited by the Elder Gods of Norse Mythology.

Even Agamotto vowed revenge and demanded that Chen Ji avenge his previous humiliation, meaning that Chen Ji had offended all the Ancient Gods of both the righteous and the wicked!

Oh my god!

Is this true?

"All the Ancient Gods of both the righteous and the wicked?"

"Etc."

"Even Ancient Gods are divided into the underworld and the legitimate world?"

Deadpool realized.

"Only this kind of description can make you understand."

"Ancient Gods, of course, can be good or bad. However, with the expansion of their extraordinary power and the distortion of their Infinity lifespan, Ancient Gods will also develop psychological problems, which will be irreversible."

"That's why I opened this Lobby Bar, to prevent myself from becoming detached from reality and turning into an inhuman beast."

Bartender Jack shrugged.

Although he Omniscience and Omnipotence, and is the Fulcrum of the Multiverse, he has no airs whatsoever.

He was witty and humorous, which Deadpool liked very much. Deadpool wished he could have a taste of him and immediately burn incense and become sworn brothers with him.

"I like you!"

"Jack!"

Does your bar need more staff?

"I'm good at making specialty cocktails, you must try them sometime!"

Deadpool his twisted sense of humor, said...

His so-called "special cocktails" were nothing more than swill with random ingredients added.

This is a legitimate bar.

"No trouble please."

"I can't breathe," said Bartender Jack with a smile.

But the words he uttered caused Chen Ji's expression to darken.

The Ancient Gods of Tartarus and the Ancient Gods of Utgard have actually joined forces?

Even Agamotto was involved?

"Animal God..."

"That's a very apt description."

"If the Multiverse were filled with gods like you, I wouldn't be reshaping the Multiverse."

Chen Ji sighed softly.

Animal god.

They have no humanity, only instinct.

Plunder and exploitation are the instincts of beasts!

Chen Ji longed to create a utopian world.

At the very least, we cannot allow the beast god to control everything.

"Oh, right."

"Mr. Jack."

"I heard that Tuwatu, the Dark Watcher, will also be at the Lobby Bar?"

"When does he usually show up? I need to talk to him about something."

Chen Ji did not forget his purpose.

"Tuwatu?"

"He would come often and discuss things with the other Watcher."

"Why would you call him the Dark Watcher?"

Jack asked, puzzled.

"He introduced a character who did not belong to the Multiverse into the Multiverse."

"Even the Council of Kangs is connected to Tuwatu."

Chen Ji said frankly.

"Tuwatu a kind person, would he really do such a thing?"

"That's a real surprise."

Jack frowned.

If Chen Ji's words are true, then this will bring unpredictable and disastrous consequences.

Even as the Fulcrum in the Multiverse, he will be the first to be affected and harmed.

After all, he is the Anchor Being of the Marvel Universe, and the appearance of things from other Multiverse is tantamount to invasion and attack!

As the Fulcrum, he must resolve this matter to prevent the Multiverse from shattering on the eve of Cosmic Cycle!

Immediately, Jack shook the bell.

A sacred and grand aura suddenly descended upon the Lobby Bar.

This is Power Cosmic at multiple levels!

Chen Ji's eyes trembled.

Based solely on the abilities the Fulcrum has demonstrated, it's clear that he cannot defeat the Fulcrum for the time being!

Fortunately, the Fulcrum is neither his enemy nor his friend; it's more like a neutral NPC.

Fighting is also prohibited in the Lobby Bar.

"The Fulcrum Pivot"

"What are your orders?"

A Cosmic Celestial, clad in colorful armor and possessing a majestic physique, appeared inside the Lobby Bar.

His entire body was crimson, surrounded by a metallic sheen, with six holes in his face, and his body was brimming with immense magical power.

Chen Ji recognized him at a glance!

This is--

The legendary Supreme Celestial, the prototype of a statue in the Eternal Temple, and the number one rebel in the First Firmament!

The creators of the Eternals and the Deviants...

Arishem!

The appearance of the Supreme Celestial caused turmoil in the Lobby Bar; all the customers fell silent and fled the place in a panic.

After all, Arishem's existence was no secret to the regulars at the Lobby Bar!

If you anger Arishem, you will face the wrath of the Cosmic Celestial and be hunted down by them!

However.

Chen Ji and the Multiverse Team made no move. Seeing the Supreme Celestial appear, Deadpool became so excited that he almost pounced on Arishem!

Oh my god!

"Arishem!"

"The leader of Celestials!"

How did you become as small as me?

"Aren't you bigger than the Earth?"

Deadpool exclaimed in surprise.

This was his first time getting so close to Cosmic Celestial!

"The Fulcrum Pivot"

"Is it these freaks who are harassing you?"

"I'll take care of it for you."

Arishem has a cool, aloof voice.

Immediately, it raised a palm, forming a miniature black hole that seemed poised to devour everything at any moment!

"Arishem."

"These are all my guests."

"The reason I summoned you here is not to cause trouble for the guests, but to inform you of something."

Have you ever heard of the Dark Watcher?

The Fulcrum waved its hand.

Immediately, Arishem stopped moving, seemingly deep in thought.

"The Fulcrum Pivot"

"The Dark Watcher are a mysterious organization."

"As for the actions of the Dark Watcher, I have not received any information."

Arishem's tone was authoritative.

The Fulcrum.

He was born in the First Firmament, and the reason why the Colored Celestials he led were able to defeat the Dark Celestials was thanks to the Fulcrum and the God of Beginnings!

Otherwise, the Multiverse would likely remain singular.

"List."

"You tell him the truth."

The Fulcrum looked towards Chen Ji.

"The Dark Watcher brought life from other universes into the Multiverse and altered the settings of the Anchor Being."

"Perhaps the Dark Watcher's next plan is to seize the position of the Fulcrum."

"Tuwatu himself served as the Fulcrum."

Chen Ji recounted the story in detail.

My feelings were actually extremely complicated.

After all, he had killed a Celestials in his dream, Supreme Celestial Arishem before him was the leader of all the Celestials.

He never imagined he would run into Arishem at the Lobby Bar!

"I see."

"I will send out the Celestials to search for Tuwatu's whereabouts. Also, I've discovered something else."

"The Fulcrum Pivot"

"The Living Abyss within the Outer Gods has awakened, and perhaps it will bring trouble."

"Arishem said in a deep voice."

He recognized Chen Ji's identity at a glance.

I already knew that the other side had killed the Augus the Thinker!

However, he also needs to remain respectful in the face of the Fulcrum.

"Outer Gods?"

"Are you referring to Knull?"

"The children of the First Firmament are truly incorrigible, always causing trouble during Cosmic Cycle. The Old Ones probably haven't been idle either, have they?"

The Fulcrum shook its head.

The Multiverse has undergone seven transformations.

Seven restarts!

Almost every reboot Old Ones Outer Gods and Great Old Ones appearing one after another, attempting to disrupt the process of Cosmic Cycle.

After all, the laws of the universe are at their weakest before and after Cosmic Cycle, and all order and settings will indirectly fail.

If we seize this opportunity to destroy a Creator Deity, the First Firmament will be resurrected, and the Multiverse will be reunited!

The reason he was able to tolerate Chen Ji was...

The difference lies in Chen Ji's philosophy, which is completely different from that of the First Firmament. The Multiverse created by Chen Ji also belongs to the Marvel Universe.

Therefore, as the Fulcrum of the Marvel Universe, he can naturally draw energy!

In other words...

The scale and prosperity of the Multiverse determine the divine power possessed by the Fulcrum.

Even the Living Tribunal is nothing more than a tool, with no room for growth.

Furthermore, some of the Arcana in the Dimensional Book City even consider the Pivot the Fulcrum and the OAA as one and the same.

As for the relationship between the Fulcrum and the OAA, only the Fulcrum itself probably knows the truth.

"The dominant beings among the Old Ones are attacking different timelines, all of which are universes on the verge of extinction, attempting to spread their Cancerous Force throughout the Multiverse."

"Almost all the Cosmic Celestial are fighting against the Eye Demon's minions to prevent the Old Ones plague from devouring everything."

Arishem said sadly.

War.

There are wins and losses in life.

Almost all of the First Generation of Cosmic Celestial had died out, leaving only him as the sole survivor.

His act of using the planet as an incubator to nurture new Celestials was not for his own selfish reasons, but to fight against the Old Ones!

However, the growth cycle of Cosmic Celestial is far shorter than the mutation of Cancerous Beings.

The Cancerous Force.

It's essentially a genetic virus.

It can give genes the ability to mutate Infinity.

Furthermore, upon reaching the ultimate stage, they may even transform into Old Ones, and thus never die!

"List."

"Now that you have become Eternity, you have an obligation to resist the Old Ones."

"After eliminating the Dark Watcher, I hope you can cooperate with Arishem to try and eliminate the threat of the Old Ones."

The Fulcrum looked serious.

The Old Ones!

Almost as old as Arishem!

These are the first children created by the First Firmament.

Even the Cosmic Avatar and the Creator Deity could not eliminate the Old Ones.

"Eternity?"

Why does he possess Eternity power?

"The Fulcrum Pivot"

"Do you really think he's qualified to stop the Old Ones?"
