First Firmament and the Dark Celestials!

Vacuum Universe.

That was the name, for now, for this barren, empty region.

It was part of the Fourth World.

In other words, four-dimensional space.

But First Firmament was here?

There was no sign of any possible life-form at all.

"This place is First Firmament."

"First Firmament is this Vacuum Universe."

"She is completely different from the life-forms we understand."

Watcher Uatu answered.

Behind him lay another scene, with celestial bodies, planets, meteors, and comets drifting through space.

Yet as they neared the Vacuum Universe, all matter continuously vanished, turning into a vacuum zone!

"I understand."

Chen Ji nodded.

So the Vacuum Universe was First Firmament!

Once First Firmament devoured all things, it would trigger a cosmic big bang and open up an entirely new universe.

And as Chen Ji released his spiritual awareness, light flickered in his eyes. An Arcane Ring rose, and he suddenly saw it!

A towering, half-real, half-illusory figure stood within the Vacuum Universe. Countless dark figures, as lofty as Celestials, stood silently along the edge of the universe.

"Dark Celestials?"

"First Firmament has already created an army?"

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

Then the space curtain behind him twisted.

The God of Steel and the Silicon Avengers also arrived in the Vacuum Universe, immediately sensing its danger!

This was not a universe at all.

It was a living being, six-dimensional matter!

The first incarnation of the Marvel Universe!

"Composite..."

"First Firmament is borrowing Composite's power?"

Chen Ji sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura surging through this vacuum environment.

Composite.

It contained the Creator Goddess's divine power, as well as the seven great forces of the DC Universe.

It brimmed with cosmic wildness!

It could induce cosmic matter to mutate, go mad, and evolve to adapt to its environment!

Simply put.

This was an Aether Fragment!
