A Name Bestowed: Vermilion Bird Power! The Cosmic Cycle Begins!
One by one, the Ancient Gods who had died, like rotting mud, stepped out of their respective dreams.
The appearance of these Ancient Gods was simply indescribable.
Just one glance at it is enough to send chills down your spine and make your scalp tingle.
The X-Men and the Multiverse Team were no match for their fear and retreated, but the dead Ancient Gods followed them relentlessly!
Suddenly, with a roar.
The Human Torch arrived through the air, erecting a far-infrared light barrier that temporarily blocked the Ancient Gods's attack, but this was only temporary!
The slime from the rotting Ancient Gods was able to erode the barrier!
Seeing this scene.
All the superheroes wore expressions of fear.
If one were to approach a dead Ancient Gods, one's personal will would likely be extinguished, and one's soul would be devoured, becoming a new vessel for the Ancient Gods.
"That's right."
"These Ancient Gods who are now dead were energy entities in life, and even though their physical bodies have been destroyed, their energy may still remain."
"That's why Cyttorak summoned these monsters."
"If you get entangled with it, the consequences will be unimaginable; your soul will vanish."
There's only one way now.
Constantine lit another cigarette.
He spoke slowly, exhaling clouds of smoke.
"What method?"
"At this point, are you still playing riddles?"
The superheroes were collectively enraged.
I wanted to slap him twice.
"One word."
"Run."
Constantine spoke succinctly and immediately took action, conjuring up a teleportation array out of thin air.
We're about to leave this Nightmare Dimension!
Get as far away as possible!
The existence of the dead Ancient Gods must rely on the Nightmare Dimension; even if they can leave the dream world, they cannot leave this dimension.
This was the only solution he could think of.
"Run?"
I support your decision!
Deadpool immediately stepped into the magic circle; he didn't want to be parasitized.
"No."
"If we leave, Cyttorak will take over the Nightmare Dimension, and through the invasion of thoughts via dreams, these Ancient Gods will also take action."
"In other words, we have nowhere to go unless we all stop trying to sleep."
But who can go without sleep?
Jean Grey's beautiful eyes sparkled.
She has realized the seriousness of the problem.
Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, if you accidentally enter a dream, you will face the Ancient Gods who is already dead, and there is no way to escape!
"What you said is not wrong."
Constantine said sadly.
Even though he needs sleep.
Once in deep sleep, when dreams occur, Nightmare Dimension can invade his mind.
Indirectly eroding his soul!
"We must defeat these Ancient Gods..."
"Otherwise, the Ancient Gods will also use the bodies of others to take the lives of other innocent people, and then, together with Cyttorak, destroy our world."
Strange's expression was grave.
As long as the Nightmare Dimension exists, one can enter different dreams through this realm, and also travel through the Multiverse using the Dreamwalking!
The Dreamwalking.
It could also cause cosmic collisions.
But this means nothing to the Ancient Gods; on the contrary, they can draw upon the power of the collisions to further enhance their Calculon!
Damn it!
Why do Ancient Gods always resurrect?
Is there no way to solve this once and for all?
The superhero secretly made a sarcastic remark.
However.
It's out of the question.
Because the Ancient Gods all represent a rule.
As long as this rule exists, the Ancient Gods will revive even after their demise; they will never truly perish.
Unless...
"Unless what?"
Cyclops said urgently.
"Unless this Nightmare Dimension is broken."
Constantine shrugged.
But he doesn't have that ability.
What consequences might arise after breaking through the Nightmare Dimension is something he cannot consider, but it can alleviate the threat posed by the dead Ancient Gods.
After all, without the Nightmare Dimension, the Dream Realm will lose its connection, and the multiple Dreams will become five independent planes.
In short.
It looks like a pancake.
The Nightmare Dimension envelops the entire Dream Realm.
Break free from the Nightmare Dimension, and the package will disappear!
"But what consequences will this have?"
The X-Men and the Multiverse Team exchanged thoughtful glances.
"I have no idea."
Constantine replied.
Because he genuinely didn't know.
Perhaps this will awaken another bigwig?
Who can say for sure?
However, Chen Ji approved of the plan. Since there was no other way, they might as well destroy the Nightmare Dimension.
In any case, the Nightmare Dimension cannot be trapped in the Invisible Spectrum!
Suddenly, with a roar.
Chen Ji's body erupted with a dazzling light.
Crimson Phoenix -like energy entity also hovered above the Dream Realm's sky, igniting a blazing, sacred light!
"You!"
Damn it!
"You plan to destroy this place?"
"Do you know that this is not only a dimension, but also a seal?"
"You will release... them!"
A cold glint flashed in Cyttorak's eyes upon seeing this.
"Them?"
"What is it now?"
Chen Ji frowned.
This was something he hadn't expected.
'Them'...
Is it also Ancient Gods?
Or some other kind of life?
Chen Ji had no idea about the secrets of the Nightmare Dimension, but he was prepared to never allow the dead Ancient Gods to cross over!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Crimson Phoenix cried out loudly.
The next second.
Endless flames swept across the entire dimension, causing the Ancient Gods who had died along the way to explode!
This is the weakest of the Ancient Gods who are now dead.
Faced with the Phoenix's Judgment, it had no power to fight back. Its soul was completely annihilated, transformed into a dense amount of Calculon, and was absorbed by Chen Ji!
[Calculon +0.1]
[Calculon +0.1]
[Calculon +0.1]
A string of text bubbles appeared.
Chen Ji's eyes were cold.
He continued to unleash the Phoenix Force!
Perhaps it should no longer be called the Phoenix Force, because after absorbing far-infrared light, the Phoenix becomes closer to a red entity, and its shape is gradually changing.
It looks just like a vermilion mythical bird!
"Simply..."
"Let me give you a new name."
"It will be called Vermilion Bird... the Vermilion Bird Power!"
Chen Ji's eyes gleamed.
Immediately, he sensed the Vermilion Bird Power, which emitted an excited cry, seemingly very satisfied with the name and finally free from the shadow of the Phoenix.
It became an independent energy entity!
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Power and the Phoenix Force are no longer one.
With continuous Devouring Evolution, the energy level of the Vermilion Bird Power has reached its highest point ever, comparable to that of Cyttorak!
If Black Winter is the embodiment of the Invisible Spectrum, then Vermilion Bird is the embodiment of the Emotional Spectrum.
This is a battle between life and soul!
But life and soul are one!
Therefore, the Vermilion Bird Power will surely devour Black Winter, becoming the ultimate incarnation of the next generation, and extending the Infinite Universe for thousands of generations!
"The Vermilion Bird Power?"
"Should we call the rings we're wearing the Vermilion Bird Ring now?"
The X-Men and the Multiverse Team were taken aback.
The next second.
The Phoenix Ring Totem and transformed into a soaring red bird, representing the Vermilion Bird Power!
Chen Ji imbued the Vermilion Bird Power a completely new look through the power of words.
This change also affected the Energy Ring!
"Totem..."
"These Ancient Gods before us look remarkably like God of Totems. So, the Ancient Gods who have died are all connected to a certain Totem?"
Chen Ji's pupils contracted.
He suddenly realized the true forms of these Ancient Gods who were already dead!
The Totem Spirits!
As early as the birth of intelligent life, various forms of nature worship emerged. Prehistoric life believed that all things had spirits and that everything represented a god!
This is the true origin of the Ancient Gods!
Intelligent life created these Ancient Gods solely through imagination; that is, the Ancient Gods originated from souls, hence their intense yearning for souls.
Among the God of Totems, the most outstanding are the Panther God Bast, and the legendary Eagle God, Tiger God...
Furthermore, the Spider God is also a God of Totems!
All of Spider-Man's abilities originate from the Spider Totem!
This also gave rise to a group of Totem Vampires who feed on God of Totems.
They're known as the Inheritor Family!
"That's terrifying."
"The God of Totems are still alive?"
"Still unable to sever the connection between the Ancient Gods and Totem?"
The superheroes remained indifferent.
After careful examination, it was discovered that the dead Ancient Gods, though resembling mud, had the outlines of animals and insects, representing its appearance in life.
"The Lion God!"
"The Antelope God!"
"Elephant God!"
"What are you all still hesitating for? Once the Nightmare Dimension shatters, you will also be injured and forced to slumber back into the dream world!"
Cyttorak roared.
He cannot allow the Nightmare Dimension to shatter.
This will affect his plans to extract the Invisible Spectrum!
The Invisible Spectrum is the Spectrum of the soul.
Only by absorbing the energy from the soul can he achieve Ultimate Ascension, perhaps even surpassing other Ancient Gods and possessing the Black Winter's Power!
Even the Ancient Gods have ambitions...
Who would willingly submit to the Black Winter?!
"Oh my god!"
"They really are all God of Totems!"
"But this is just too outrageous!"
"Break free from the Nightmare Dimension quickly!"
Deadpool screamed repeatedly.
Before he could finish speaking...
The God of Totems immediately unleashed their remaining energy, bombarding the Human Torch and gradually shattering the barrier.
The black, sludge-like substance seeped into the barrier through the gaps and approached the superhero!
Once it touches a superhero, it will possess that body and be resurrected in the superhero's form!
At this time.
The Gambit acted swiftly, unleashing a beam of Ultraviolet Light that exploded with immense kinetic energy, instantly Oblivion the sludge!
Boom!
The mud vanished in the blink of an eye.
The fatal blow from the Invisible Spectrum of Ultraviolet Light caused the already crumbling God of Totems to instantly begin to twist and evaporate!
"Gambit!"
"You have that ability?"
Deadpool exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not that I have this ability, but that I've absorbed Ultraviolet Light. Since the Invisible Spectrum is the soul Spectrum, far-infrared light can awaken the soul, and Ultraviolet Light can naturally harm the soul."
The Gambit smiled.
He wasn't sure at first, but when he saw the God of Totems perish, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Instantly.
Cards flew out, striking the muddy ground. The indescribable, dead Ancient Gods let out mournful howls and retreated.
Faced with the attack of Ultraviolet Light, these dead God of Totems felt genuine fear!
Even Cyttorak showed a hint of coldness.
It seems that they didn't even mention that this tiny insect actually possesses Ultraviolet Light and has become a human jinchūriki!
Damn it!
"Why can you extract the Invisible Spectrum?"
"And that Fire Guy too!"
"Are you all Mutant?"
"So the Celestials created Mutant to target the Invisible Spectrum?"
Cyttorak glanced at it, belatedly realizing what was happening, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.
X-Factor!
This is a symbol of Mutant.
It was also the creation of the Cosmic Celestial.
Prior to this, Cyttorak had never witnessed the true power of the X-Factor.
However, as Gambit and Human Torch simultaneously absorbed the power of the Invisible Spectrum, they immediately sensed an ominous sign.
Perhaps the X-Factor is the only weapon to subdue the Invisible Spectrum!
"Human Torch also have X-Factor?"
"I've never heard of that before..."
Deadpool scratched his head.
However, he suddenly remembered something.
Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman had a son, Franklin Richards...
He's a born Mutant, a God-Level Mutant among Mutant, Omega-Level Mutant!
It seems that the Cosmic Rays that the Fantastic Four were exposed to contained substances similar to the X-Factor, which is why Franklin Richards was born.
"So, what exactly is the X-Factor?"
Human Torch frowned.
Immediately, just like the Gambit, he summoned far-infrared light, which converged into a torrent of energy and blasted towards the God of Totems!
In the blink of an eye.
It struck one of the God of Totems, and the far-infrared light burned like flames, frantically destroying the group of Ancient Gods!
"No!"
"Let's go back to our dream world! We can't die here!"
"Cosmic Cycle is imminent; only through this Cosmic Cycle can we be reborn!"
A God of Totems roared.
Immediately, Heart-to-Heart, these Ancient Gods who had died returned to their respective dreams and closed the entrances to those dreams.
The words of the God of Totems still echoed in the Nightmare Dimension, causing Chen Ji to frown slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
"Could the Cosmic Cycle bring ancient Ancient Gods back to life?"
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
He cannot allow the Ancient Gods to come back to life.
Because the Ancient Gods are exploiters!
Like a cosmic Leech parasitizing a living organism!
This includes Cyttorak.
It's just a matter of one party actively exploiting the other, and the other passively exploiting the other.
What's the difference?
"Cosmic Cycle, everything will return to its origin, history will repeat itself, and the Ancient Gods will naturally be resurrected."
"Furthermore, the Cosmic Cycle has already begun. This transformation is not happening simultaneously, but rather one universe after another, in succession!"
"And in places you are unaware of, the first Cosmic Cycle has already begun, and time will return to the beginning, to the time of the Big Bang, when the Creator will create life."
"Once the Ancient Gods who are already dead find this universe, your end will come."
Cyttorak's expression was extremely ferocious and mocking.
He had already seen through everything.
Furthermore, he is one of the Ancient Gods who has survived from the First Firmament to the present day!
Nature knows perfectly well what the Cosmic Cycle is all about.
His reason for coming to the Nightmare Dimension was to find the first altered universe!
Even as Chen Ji was about to destroy the Nightmare Dimension, he had already captured this universe thanks to the mysterious power of far-infrared light.
He is about to travel to this universe and merge the first changed world into the Crimson Dimension!
In this way, he can continue as a being in the alternating universe into the next generation, namely the eighth Multiverse!
