Battleworld and the Painted Realm Connect, the Desperate Antimatter Man!
The Antimatter Man's expression was ferocious.
Upon seeing the figures of God Emperor Tony, the God of Steel, and the God of Technology appear, they immediately realized the danger.
But he showed no fear or cowardice.
Even more so, when they initiated the attack, the Antimatter Lifeforms beside them, like dark variants, also rushed towards the group!
These dark variants have skin as black as ink and their bodies radiate enormous energy. In stark contrast to matter, they all originate from the Antimatter Universe.
Even their appearance bears a resemblance to superheroes.
But this is the Avengers of the Antimatter Universe!
Antimatter Hulk, Antimatter Captain America, Antimatter Black Widow, and Antimatter Hawkeye...
Antimatter Tony Stark!
They all submitted to Connor Simmons, unleashing a terrifyingly dangerous aura, their bodies radiating light and radiation, causing a deafening roar in the Battleworld.
However.
God Emperor Tony simply waved his hand.
Then the aura of Supreme Runes surged forth.
In the blink of an eye.
The oncoming Antimatter Avengers instantly turned into bubbles and evaporated into nothingness.
Because this is a false life form created by Antimatter Man.
Within the Battleworld, God Emperor Tony possesses Unknown Rune and is a genuine supreme god. He can attack any non-natural creature through the rules of the universe.
Antimatter Man do not fall into this category.
Because the Antimatter Man are connected to the Antimatter Universe!
Furthermore, the Antimatter Man could even open up the Antimatter Universe and summon everything of antimatter to the Battleworld —this is what God Emperor Tony is wary of!
If it's Black Winter...
If he invades the Battleworld, corrupts everything, and seizes the Supreme Runes, he will be utterly ashamed and will have no choice but to leave this place.
Because of the corrupting nature of Black Winter, even the Supreme Runes can be corrupted, turning into a dark Rune, thus moving from one extreme to the other.
This is what makes the Black Winter so terrifying.
It can also be understood that Black Winter possesses the power to turn things dark, and can corrupt everything.
Because Black Winter is essentially the 'shadow' of Aether!
Or rather, it's corrupted Aether!
Once Black Winter takes over the Battleworld Universe, completely corrupts everything within it, and forms a dark legion, it could potentially invade the Aether Universe, causing significant damage to the Aether.
Black Winter, like cancer cells, multiplies Infinity within the Aether, causing the Aether to decline and eventually die.
However, Black Winter is different from cancer cells because Black Winter can also be resurrected by borrowing a body, breaking through the boundary barrier of the Aether Universe, and appearing in the Tenth Dimension space where the Aether exists.
Certainly.
Even Black Winter didn't know what concept existed within the Tenth Dimension space, or whether other species existed there.
Perhaps, Aether is not alone, but simply lacks its own kind.
The goal is to create powerful beings in this way, to fight alongside him against the Tenth Dimension.
All of this remains a mystery.
But God Emperor Tony, having mastered the Unknown Rune, was able to deduce the truth behind them.
"Black Winter... is both a part of the Aether and a part of the Tenth Dimension."
"Tenth Dimension space also has self-awareness."
"This self-awareness, Aether as an enemy, is why it created Black Winter in an attempt to destroy the Aether."
"God Emperor Tony answered."
This was the 'answer' the Unknown Rune had given him.
Tenth Dimension beings.
Having shed its DNA and physical body, it is now an elusive entity of consciousness.
Aether possesses a physical body, it was naturally rejected by the consciousness entity, which led to the creation of Black Winter, this evil consciousness entity.
"Consciousness?"
How do you know all this?
The God of Steel, the God of Technology —one can't help but be astonished.
It makes no sense that God Emperor Tony, being within the Aether Universe, could know what was happening outside of Aether Universe.
"Because of Unknown Rune."
"In fact, we are all the darlings of the Aether, given a special mission by the Aether, which is why we created our own universes and fought against the Tenth Dimension consciousness together."
"This is a war between species."
"Aether wins, the Tenth Dimension will belong to Aether; if Aether loses, the Tenth Dimension will become the domain of consciousness."
Do you understand now?
"The God of Knowledge"
God Emperor Tony's eyes were playful.
Unknown Rune.
He was endowed with boundless wisdom.
Because he can obtain the answers to all unsolved mysteries through this Rune, that is the true purpose of the Unknown Rune!
It was precisely with the blessing of the Unknown Rune that he was able to create the Battleworld Universe, combining fragments of different worlds to serve as the 'glue' that held them together.
It's actually Unknown Rune.
"I see."
"But I want your Unknown Rune."
Chen Ji smiled.
The only criterion that determined his attitude was God Emperor Tony's reaction.
If he shares Unknown Rune, he will cooperate.
If he refuses to share, he will also object.
"The God of Knowledge"
"You already possess Unknown Rune."
"Didn't you realize that?"
"Since the unknown can become the known, the known can naturally become the unknown, leading to gaps in history and breaks in civilization."
"Simply flipping something will produce different effects."
"God Emperor Tony answered."
A wise light shone in his eyes.
This serves as both a reminder and a form of sharing.
Because he and the God of Knowledge before him are the only two favored beings of the Aether today, each possessing their own universe, completely independent of the operation of the Aether.
In other words...
Only the God of Knowledge is of the same kind as him!
God of Steel, God of Technology?
It's all in name only.
"Historical discontinuity, civilizational break?"
"Things turning upside down?"
Chen Ji squinted.
He suddenly understood what God Emperor Tony meant.
If the Doomsday destroys all traces of technology, it actually means that past technological knowledge has become an unsolved mystery for modern people!
The unknown can become the known, and the known can become the unknown.
They're like twin brothers!
Moment.
A Distortion Rune appeared in his palm.
The word 'knowledge' is displayed above.
As the Knowledge Rune flipped, the Rune markings began to distort, eventually transforming into an 'unknown' pattern.
Unknown Rune!
An unprecedented surge of energy descended upon Chen Ji, granting him the power to possess the Unknown Rune without plundering them.
Because the unknown and the known are considered equal in the eyes of Higher-Dimensional Life!
This also means that God Emperor Tony not only possesses Unknown Rune, but can also grasp the Mystery of Knowledge Rune by flipping through Unknown Rune.
No wonder!
Throughout the entire process, Chen Ji felt a sense of threat and apprehension.
So that's where the problem lay!
At this moment, he had fully comprehended and possessed a completely new Rune. The power of this Unknown Rune was in no way inferior to any other Rune.
Furthermore, Rune can be redefined.
Simulate the power of other Supreme Runes!
Just one breath.
Chen Ji then received endless gifts.
Seeing this scene.
Even the God of Steel and the God of Technology were awestruck, exchanging glances and both recognizing each other's astonishment.
"This is the Unknown Rune?"
"So the Unknown Rune were hidden on the back of the Knowledge Rune. That's truly remarkable."
"The God of Steel exclaimed in amazement."
Even though he and God Emperor Tony were both Cursed by Knowledge, they were worlds apart; their wisdom was on completely different levels.
Fortunately, God Emperor Tony is not a vicious evil god.
Otherwise, both the God of Steel and the God of Technology would be forced by circumstances to fight against God Emperor Tony.
"Will every Tony Stark in every world become a god?"
The God of Technology spoke in a way that was quite intriguing.
It seems he had already foreseen that more Tony Stark variants would appear in higher-dimensional worlds, and perhaps even master the Supreme Runes.
If one turns to the dark side, it will bring utter destruction.
It completely changed the appearance of the entire Aether Universe.
"I hope that won't be the case."
The God of Steel gave a wry smile.
As Tony Stark, he knew all too well the benefits of intelligence, for it was through intelligence that he mastered the Steel Rune.
They have grasped the Mystery of the Supreme Runes.
If he can do it, then any other Tony Stark can do it too.
And perhaps he can do even better, mastering even more ferocious Rune.
What are you all babbling about?
"You think you can defeat me by destroying what I summoned?"
"That's ridiculous!"
"I am Antimatter Man!"
"All your attacks will be ineffective against me."
The Antimatter Man raised his palm.
Moment.
A radiant, frost-like substance streaked across the sky, nearly shaking this plane, carrying immense and terrifying power that caused the Battleworld to tear and distort.
If the Antimatter Man are allowed to continue their attacks, the Battleworld will likely fall apart, leading to an irreversible disaster.
Because the Battleworld is newly formed and not yet solid, this was the original intention of God Emperor Tony in entrusting Chen Ji with the task.
"Let me do it."
"I already know the weaknesses of Antimatter Man."
"And the Supreme Runes he possesses."
Chen Ji stepped forward, his eyes calm and his tone indifferent.
Immediately, a spatial vortex surged from his palm, converting all the attacks created by the Antimatter Man being into his own magic power.
The Antimatter Man had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Impossible!"
How can you withstand Antimatter Force?
"You should be twisted into the opposite form!"
The Antimatter Man panicked.
This was undoubtedly beyond his comprehension.
The Rune he possessed were precisely the Distortion Rune, which can be understood as a kind of Mirror Rune!
Where there is light, there will also be shadow.
Shadows are, in fact, a kind of visual phenomenon.
Even shadows will constantly distort with the light.
This is the essence of Antimatter Force!
He used this energy to nearly destroy the original universe, wipe out the superheroes, and become the ruler of the universe!
However, when faced with Chen Ji, the Antimatter Force failed to take effect.
The supreme distorted Mirror Rune seemed to vanish into thin air, causing him no harm whatsoever, which made him feel uneasy.
It seems I can't stay here any longer.
Otherwise, something ominous will happen!
But you can no longer leave.
Chen Ji opened his palm.
Immediately, a portion of the Painted Realm Universe was forcibly incorporated into the Battleworld.
It seems that the Painted Realm and the Battleworld are connected, just like the DC and Marvel Universe, forming Unity of Opposites.
Even!
At the first opportunity.
God Emperor Tony and he felt an inexplicable energy fluctuation surge into their bodies.
This seems to have activated another Supreme Runes for both the Battleworld and the Painted Realm Universe.
However, the trace of this Rune is not obvious or prominent enough, which is why it cannot be perceived or manifested.
"I see."
I approve of your actions.
"Connecting the Painted Realm Universe and the Battleworld aligns with the Supreme Law of Unity of Opposites, achieving a certain degree of balance."
"Good."
"We all benefited."
God Emperor Tony smiled.
He highly approved of Chen Ji's approach.
This completely binds the Battleworld and the Painted Realm together.
Certainly.
This binding is not irreversible; he can unbind, and Chen Ji can also unbind, but there is no need to do so for the time being.
If a conflict breaks out in the future, this plane can be used to travel between the two universes. As the Painted Realm grows stronger, the Battleworld will also prosper.
As the Battleworld expands, the Painted Realm will also ascend to a higher dimension!
This is absolutely a win-win situation!
"That's right."
"Since you mean no harm, I naturally know what to do. In the future, I will work with you to resolve the troubles caused by Black Winter."
Chen Ji nodded.
This move can be seen as his stance: Black Winter must be dealt with before ascending to a higher dimension.
Otherwise, the All-Pervading dark aura would endanger the Painted Realm Universe. He bound the two universes together for various reasons.
Strictly speaking...
The Painted Realm Universe and the Battleworld Universe are already considered Multiverse, and in the future they will inevitably replace the DC and Marvel Universe, becoming the only two remaining Multiverse.
Furthermore, within the Painted Realm Universe and the Battleworld Universe, there are variants of the DC Universe and the Marvel Universe, living on different planets and planes.
This can be understood as the two countries establishing diplomatic relations, eliminating any barriers or obstacles.
Residents of this country are allowed to travel abroad for training and experience.
Foreign residents are also welcome to come to this country for spiritual practice.
The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Because it's not entirely without its drawbacks.
The Antimatter Man before us is undoubtedly a threat; Antimatter Man can also enter the Painted Realm Universe through this method.
"Certainly."
I won't give you that chance.
Chen Ji stepped forward.
Moment.
A blazing, dazzling flame ignited on its body surface.
The Vermilion Bird Power rose up.
This not only shocked God Emperor Tony, but also stunned the Antimatter Man, because he had never seen such a high-dimensional energy entity before!
It was almost comparable to the Black Winter he had ever seen!
"No!"
Damn it!
"It seems I must summon Black Winter into this world!"
"Although I will die, with you all dying with me, my death will be worthwhile!"
The Antimatter Man roared.
Suddenly, with a roar.
He suddenly unleashed endless black haze, a substance as white as frost and as white as snow, forming a spatial portal!
It directly connects the Battleworld Universe and the Antimatter Universe.
The aura of the Antimatter Universe is constantly seeping into the Battleworld through this spatial portal.
This immediately caused a dramatic change in the expression of God Emperor Tony.
Pupils contracted to pinpoints!
A deafening roar erupted.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from within the spatial portal. He possessed a towering physique, but he did not walk upright.
He actually walked through the doorway upside down!
