VS the God of Steel! The First Firmament awakens!

The God of Steel returned in force, standing in the void, light flowing across his body as he radiated an endless cosmic aura.

He stood like a towering deity.

His metal shell showed no expression, revealing neither his emotions nor his thoughts.

But Tony Stark, as one cursed by knowledge, had always been a genius of divine caliber!

A mortal who could stand shoulder to shoulder with gods!

His Entry Panel confirmed it, too!

[Name]: Tony Stark

[Identity]: God of Steel

[Entries]: Cursed by Knowledge (gold), Anchor Being (gold), Silicon Overlord (divine).

[Silicon Overlord] (divine): He has abandoned his flesh and chosen mechanical ascension, becoming an embodiment of higher-dimensional life.

"A higher-dimensional god..."

"He's almost reached the Watcher's level."

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

He had seen the first two entries before.

The only divine entry confirmed Stark's extraordinary nature as an overlord-level being!

Higher-dimensional!

That alone proved the extraordinary power the God of Steel possessed.

An aura of Aether even surged through the God of Steel, no weaker than Darkseid's.

If the God of Steel found another way to obtain an Aether Fragment, he would undergo a transcendent transformation. He might even enter the Fifth Dimension!

"Just as I thought..."

"Not a single Stark variant is weak."

"And there's Doctor Doom Tony. Who knows where he's hiding?"

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Back in the Void Realm, he had met Doctor Doom Tony, who had been impersonating Conqueror Kang.

Yet Doctor Doom Tony had not appeared again since.

But logically speaking, Doctor Doom Tony had probably evolved to a higher-dimensional level as well.

As Chen Ji learned the truth about the universe, more became clear.

Everything existed within "Aether."

The beginning of the cosmic cycle, the rupture of the Source Wall, and all the other clues and omens...
