VS the God of Steel! The First Firmament awakens!

The God of Steel has returned in force, standing in the Void, his body radiating light and exuding an endless cosmic aura.

It stands like a majestic deity.

The metal shell is expressionless, devoid of emotion, and unable to discern the thoughts of the God of Steel.

But Tony Stark, as Cursed by Knowledge, has always been a god-level genius!

A mortal being who can rival a god!

The Entry Panel also confirms this!

[Name]: Tony Stark

[Identity]: God of Steel

[Entry]: The Cursed by Knowledge (Gold), the Anchor Being (Gold), the Silicon Overlord (God).

[Silicon Overlord] (God): He has abandoned his physical body and chosen Mechanical Ascension, and is now the embodiment of Higher-Dimensional Life.

"Higher-dimensional deities..."

"This is almost at the level of Watcher."

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

He had read the first two entries.

The fact that it is the only one with the Divine Entry also confirms Stark's extraordinary nature, making him a being of the Overlord level!

High dimension!

This is sufficient proof of the extraordinary power possessed by the God of Steel.

Furthermore, an Aether aura emanated from the God of Steel, no less powerful than that of Darkseid.

If the God of Steel finds another way to obtain an Aether Fragment, he will also transcend and ascend, perhaps even entering the Fifth Dimension!

"Really..."

"Among the Stark variants, there is not a single weakling."

"And Doctor Doom Tony, Tony, I wonder where he's hiding."

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Back in the Void Realm, he had already encountered Doctor Doom Tony, who was impersonating Conqueror Kang.

But Doctor Doom Tony, has not reappeared since.

Logically speaking, it's likely that Doctor Doom Tony has also evolved to a higher dimension.

As he learned the truth about the universe.

Everything exists within the 'Aether'.

The Cosmic Cycle, the Source Wall is cracking, and various clues and omens are emerging...

All of this serves as a warning that the upcoming war will be a battle between Higher-Dimensional Life!

Because lower-dimensional life forms are out of the game!

Only those beings that can ascend to higher dimensions and reach the Fourth Dimension level are qualified to win the favor of the Aether and have the possibility of becoming one of the Aether's kind.

Chen Ji is only temporarily in the lead.

After all, he had not yet officially upgraded the Vermilion Bird Power to the Golden Crow Power.

The last of the Child of the Firmament: the Phoenix, Black Winter, the Energy Entity, and the Entity...

They're all eyeing it covetously!

"You actually knew about the existence of the Aether Fragment."

"It seems you've also obtained Aether Fragment."

"You want to take the Aether Fragment?"

"But I will not tolerate your provocation. I will make you understand that the majesty of the God of Steel is sacred and inviolable!"

Stark, the God of Steel, spoke in a cold voice, his eyes gleaming with a violent light.

Now that he knew the enemy's purpose, there was no need to pretend to be a gentleman. He knew all too well the allure of the Aether Fragment; no one could resist Aether Fragment!

"Rest assured."

"I will not destroy your planet, I will only take away the Aether Fragment."

"This is my promise."

Chen Ji spoke calmly.

Defeating the God of Steel wouldn't be an easy task, but it wouldn't present any particular difficulties either.

But at this time...

The God of Steel shuddered, and his arms suddenly shimmered with dazzling light, displaying six different colors that formed a raging torrent.

The next second.

Large swathes of Infinity Stones appeared on the arm of the God of Steel, their light shimmering and bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.

"Infinity Stones?"

"So you've been collecting Infinity Stones all along?"

Chen Ji's pupils contracted slightly.

He has never seen Infinity Stones of this magnitude.

Furthermore, all the Infinity Stones originate from different universes and contain immense power.

And another name for the Infinity Stones...

It's actually Aether!

"I didn't find the Aether Fragment, but I found the Aether. I have one hundred Infinity Stones, and how many Infinity Stones you have?"

The God of Steel radiated light.

One hundred Infinity Stones are embedded in the machine, including an Infinity Stones on the chest, which serves as the power source.

Both hands are wearing Infinity Gauntlet!

It could almost effortlessly shake the rules of the universe.

Make everything submit to your will!

The Infinity Stones are Aether.

If there are no Aether Fragment, then search for Aether.

One hundred Infinity Stones are equivalent to one hundred Aether.

This is the true source of the God of Steel's confidence!

He traversed nearly a hundred universes to find these one hundred Infinity Stones, but he had not yet mastered the technique of fusing Aether into Aether Fragment.

But he had already grasped the essence of the universe and mastered the Mystery of Calculon. He used Calculon as source code and modified Earth into Stark Star!

"Good."

"The God of Steel."

"I acknowledge your wisdom, but wisdom alone is not enough; you also need the blessings of Heavenly Dao."

"That's fine."

"Give me these one hundred Infinity Stones, and I'll spare you and your planet."

Chen Ji negotiated the terms.

There is a significant difference between the true Infinity Stones and the Infinity Stones forged with Sacred Blood.

Because the Infinity Stones are made of Aether.

But his Sacred Blood is just Sacred Blood.

Can matter originating from him and matter originating from Aether be considered the same concept?

They are actually worlds apart.

Although both can drive Infinite Runes, bringing the Infinite Law to their own will.

But the Aether are the most precious thing.

Only through Aether can they be aggregated into Aether Fragment, and only through Aether Fragment can life levels evolve!

"Let me give you the Infinity Stones?"

"Are you an idiot?"

"Why?"

"You think you can beat me?"

The God of Steel let out a sneer.

Immediately, they launched an attack, and one hundred Infinity Stones burst forth with dazzling light, shooting out like a waterfall!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Ji's figure was completely obscured!

Even the invisible barrier was shattered by the God of Steel, producing a deafening roar that left everyone stunned and speechless.

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation yet."

"The God of Steel."

"If you attack me again, I'm afraid I'll tear you apart alive and destroy your planet along with you."

Chen Ji's voice was not loud.

It exploded like thunder, causing the God of Steel and the Silicon Avengers to show fear in their eyes.

It seems they didn't expect this at all!

The attack formed by one hundred Infinity Stones did absolutely no harm to the uninvited guest!

Therefore, we can conclude that...

Could it be that the intruders who appeared out of nowhere are not Fourth-Dimensional Life, but rather Fifth Dimension beings, above the Fourth Dimension?

"Are you Fifth Dimension being?"

"From the Watcher Star?"

"Silicon Captain America," he said in surprise.

He had met the Watcher Uatu!

In fact, Uatu once promised that he could be signaled if a crisis occurred.

The next second.

Silicon Captain America immediately activated a switch.

They sent invisible electromagnetic signals to Watcher Star, hoping to lure Uatu out and eliminate the enemy before him.

A spatial fluctuation emerged.

A Western monk, his eyes gleaming, appeared out of thin air.

Upon seeing Chen Ji, Uatu's face showed a hint of respect. He already knew about Chen Ji's advancement to the Sixth Dimension.

But no one expected that Chen Ji would run into the God of Steel!

"The God of Knowledge"

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

Uatu was respectful.

"Uatu, are you going to protect Stark Star?"

"This doesn't seem to conform to the Watcher's law."

Chen Ji frowned.

"Because a crisis is approaching, the Six-Finger Society has awakened the First Firmament, and the God of Steel and the Silicon Avengers are needed to defeat the First Firmament."

"You want the Aether Fragment?"

"There's no need to make things difficult for the God of Steel. The First Firmament is the embodiment of Aether, and she will give you the Aether Fragment you need."

Uatu spoke frankly.

This conversation also caused a thoughtful look to appear in the eyes of the God of Steel.

So the uninvited guest before me was the legendary God of Knowledge?

He had long heard of the God of Knowledge!

But I never imagined that the God of Knowledge came from the East and was no different from ordinary people. It seems that the God of Knowledge has reached a level of life that I cannot understand.

"The First Firmament?"

"Explain in detail."

Chen Ji's expression fluctuated.

First Firmament!

Like Perpetua, the Creator Goddess of the DC Universe, she is Sixth-Dimensional Life.

Chaos Entity!

The people of the Hand of Creation.

The First Firmament never actually died; instead, it hid in the interlayer of the Aether Sea, which is the Far Shore of the Marvel Universe.

Whenever Cosmic Cycle, the First Firmament will take action.

That's certainly possible.

"The rupture of the Source Wall previously affected the seal on the Far Shore, and the First Firmament has already appeared."

"If you slay the God of Steel, the First Firmament will only applaud you, for only the God of Steel could defeat the First Firmament..."

"This Watcher Uatu said seriously."

"Only the God of Steel can defeat the First Firmament?"

"He's only at the Fourth Dimension."

"Could it be that Fourth Dimension can defeat Sixth Dimension?"

Chen Ji shook his head.

"No."

"Stark Star holds the key to defeating the First Firmament."

"This is formed from Godkiller Armor Fragment."

"The God of Steel can fully activate the Godkiller Armor, resealing the First Firmament, and you will obtain the Aether Fragment."

Uatu explained.

"Godkiller Armor..."

"Now I believe it a little more, but the God of Steel might not cooperate. He's even more arrogant than I am."

Chen Ji's eyes were cold.

"Feel sorry."

"The God of Knowledge"

"I don't know whether you're friend or foe; that's my problem."

The God of Steel acted decisively, bowing his head directly.

There's no other way if you don't bow your head.

He simply cannot defeat the God of Knowledge at the Sixth Dimension level.

However, activating the Godkiller Armor requires one hundred Aether, and once the Aether are depleted, the user will lose the ability to move.

"All right."

"I will be leaving Stark Star, but before I leave, I want to visit Stark Star again, because I have my own planet."

"If your technology can help me, we can definitely cooperate."

Chen Ji was very understanding.

After all, even the God of Steel has bowed his head; how could he possibly push his luck?

But he didn't forget that enhancing TVA's technological capabilities was only part of the Phoenix Ring; it was this silicon-based technology, which combined human and machine capabilities, that truly intrigued him.

He wanted to transform all the Time Keeper into Silicon-Based Life.

This would also allow for the acquisition of an army to monitor the Multiverse through the Nightmare Dimension, preventing even greater crises from occurring.

Since even the First Firmament could escape the Far Shore...

The other Ancient Gods in the Far Shore would not have missed this opportunity either. Although he repaired the Source Wall in time, the crack in the Source Wall still created a gap in the Aether Universe.

"Far Shore Prison..."

"How many Ancient Gods escaped?"

Chen Ji looked at the Watcher.

It is believed that Watcher should know the answer to the question.

But Uatu shook his head.

"Feel sorry."

"I wasn't aware of that, because I hadn't observed the Far Shore at the time, which allowed Six-Finger Society take advantage of the situation and liberate the First Firmament."

"Now, the First Firmament is in the Fourth World."

"As for her purpose, it's probably also to... welcome the Black Winter."

Uatu trembled all over.

The thought of Black Winter filled him with dread.

Because Black Winter recently devoured a large portion of the universe, easily Oblivion an entire universe and acquiring all its legacies.

Including the Infinity Stones Aether Fragment!

Even some of the energy from Black Winter appeared in the Fourth World, permeating from higher dimensions to lower dimensions!

Everything is collapsing out of control!

"The Fourth World?"

"The First Firmament and Black Winter?"

"That's really interesting."

"Uatu."

"You know what I'm thinking. Take me to see the First Firmament."

Chen Ji's lips curled into a smile.

Black Winter.

It not only seduced Perpetua, but also the First Firmament, exploiting him in the name of love.

He particularly enjoys exposing the facade of scumbags.

"I am afraid..."

"This requires careful consideration."

"Because the Source Wall shattered, a substance called the Composite fell into the Fourth World, and the First Firmament picked it up."

Uatu hesitated.

"Composite?"

Chen Ji frowned.

He didn't seem to have seen this substance before.

"That's right."

"The Composite is a sentient Aether Fragment."

"Located inside the Source Wall, after countless years, the Composite developed self-awareness and was no longer content to exist within the Source Wall."

"And its encounter with the First Firmament was not an accident."

"In short."

"The Composite is the Heart of the Universe at a higher level. Whoever obtains it can mobilize the seven powers and create or destroy worlds at will."

Uatu replied.

When he saw the Composite appear beside the First Firmament, he couldn't help but be moved.

But he had no way to solve it.

Because he was no match for the First Firmament!

Even if it's just the First Firmament with low health!

"If the complex is Aether Fragment, then I need to find it even more."

"I desperately need Aether Fragment right now."

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, the Cosmic Veil was drawn open.

Seeing this scene.

Uatu's face turned ashen. He knew that the God of Knowledge had made his decision, and he had no right to refuse.

Perhaps only reality can appease the God of Knowledge.

Uatu was struggling with his inner turmoil.

A moment later.

He stepped through the portal and found himself in a desolate, deep, and almost blank universe.

This universe is a complete vacuum.

There is no matter, no celestial bodies, and no planets or meteorites.

Because the First Firmament has devoured all matter in order to restore its strength!

They even awakened the Dark Celestial Group, preparing to form an army to counterattack the entire Marvel Universe!
