• Molecule Man’s extraction tubes exploded, releasing Beyonders’ origin energy that began eroding the space around the altar.

Chu Hang stopped Molecule Man’s Beyonders energy from destroying Universe-621, subdued and purified it, and restored Molecule Man’s body. After Clark and Wanda took Molecule Man to the Void Fortress for treatment, Chu Hang pieced together clues to Doctor Doom’s true body and his prisoners.

• Clark and Wanda tried to contain the runaway energy as it erased the altar, but their defenses could not overcome its higher authority.
• Chu Hang isolated the altar in a slowed spacetime bubble and imposed a rule that stopped energy from flowing without his permission.
• Chu Hang used his Control Origin, Phoenix Origin, and Greed Concept to suppress the energy, divert some of it into his Inner Universe, and purify some for Molecule Man.

• Clark and Wanda carried the sleeping Molecule Man through the rift to the Void Fortress, while Chu Hang analyzed fragments revealing Doctor Doom’s platform and imprisoned Molecule Men.

Chu Hang discovered that Doctor Doom had isolated Universe 621 and accelerated its collapse, then fought the Beyonders' Mapmakers and seized their data and energy. He escaped through a rift to the Void Fortress just before Universe 621 was erased.

• Chu Hang traced Doctor Doom's green energy mark and realized it had severed Universe 621's ties to the Multiverse, leaving the universe only hours from collapse.
• Three Mapmakers descended and began formatting the altar, but Chu Hang absorbed their beams and restrained one construct with the Law of Space.
• Chu Hang breached the Mapmakers' hive network, learned that the Beyonders used Molecule Man as an experimental energy container, and found Doctor Doom's hidden data block.
• Chu Hang marked Doctor Doom's encrypted data, devoured the hive network, and drained all three Mapmakers, strengthening the Void Walkers.
• As Universe 621 collapsed, Chu Hang opened a rift to the Void Fortress and escaped before the universe was erased.

Chu Hang contained the Beyonders’ energy, but Adam absorbed it and reached a stable balance with his Void Origin. Chu Hang then revealed that the Ivory King was behind the Multiverse-wide catastrophe and explained how the Beyonders planned to erase every universe.

• Chu Hang opened a vortex to contain the Beyonders’ energy as it threatened the Void Fortress, while Adam unexpectedly leaped into the vortex.
• Adam drew the scattered energy fragments to himself, and Chu Hang shielded him as he absorbed them.

• Chu Hang identified the Ivory King as the hidden manipulator and showed the Mapmakers’ data, revealing the countdowns for the targeted universes.
• Chu Hang explained that the Beyonders planted Molecule Man in every universe as a living bomb, whose death would erase that universe, while the Mapmakers cleared the aftermath and marked new targets.

Chu Hang planned to transform the Void Fortress into an ark that would rescue threatened civilizations and strike back at the Beyonders, while Tony examined the purified Mapmaker metal. The chapter ended when Adam effortlessly reshaped the metal and the Reed Council’s distress signal vanished.

• Chu Hang purified three masses of Mapmaker metal, and Tony began analyzing their advanced structure and testing its resistance to damage.
• Chu Hang showed Tony, Strange, and Clark that the Beyonders were accelerating their destruction of universes and proposed turning the Void Fortress into an ark that would rescue lives and hunt the enforcers.
• Adam floated to the analysis table and reshaped the metal with ease, revealing his ability to command the Beyonders’ creations.
• Nathaniel detected a distress signal from the Reed Council, but the signal disappeared before he could finish decoding it.

Chu Hang, Tony Stark, and Nathaniel reached the Reed Council’s headquarters and found the Reeds slaughtered and their research being erased by seven Black Swans. After defeating the Black Swans and learning how Rabum Alal destroyed the Council, Chu Hang found a surviving Reed Richards hidden beneath the wreckage.

• Chu Hang brought Tony and Nathaniel through a dimensional rift to the Reed Council’s ruined headquarters, where they found thousands of dead Reeds and destroyed technology.
• Tony recognized seven Black Swans erasing the Reeds’ research, and their leader declared that the knowledge defied the Great Destroyer’s divine law.
• Chu Hang stopped the Black Swans’ attack, subdued them with the Control Origin, and forcibly read their leader’s memories.
• Chu Hang learned that Rabum Alal had destroyed the Council to prevent its plan to fight the Beyonders and build a device to invade the Beyond Realm.
• Chu Hang teleported with Tony and Nathaniel to a hidden pocket beneath the wreckage, where they found a badly wounded Reed Richards still alive.

Chu Hang revived Reed Richards and learned that the Reed Council had created a Logic Virus that could threaten the Beyonders, while Rabum Alal had destroyed them and challenged Chu Hang to reach Battleworld. Chu Hang extracted the Council’s research, killed the seven Black Swans, and began restoring the devastated battlefield.

• Chu Hang healed Reed Richards, and Tony identified himself and Chu Hang as rescuers from Earth-199999.
• Reed told Chu Hang that Rabum Alal had killed fifty thousand members of the Reed Council and that they had developed a Logic Virus capable of interfering with the Beyonders.
• Reed explained that the virus lacked a suitable carrier and revealed that Rabum Alal had claimed to possess a power greater than the Beyonders and was waiting for Chu Hang in Battleworld.
• Chu Hang extracted the Council’s research and virus design from Reed’s mind and transferred the information to Tony.
• Chu Hang devoured the seven captured Black Swans, then activated the Control Origin and Phoenix Origin over the battlefield.

Chu Hang refined the fallen Council’s bodies, technology, and Infinity Stones into resources for the Void Fortress, then launched the Ark Project to prepare for war against the Beyonders. As his allies began their work, he sensed Rabum Alal watching them and withheld details about the Logic Virus’s carrier.

• Chu Hang used the Phoenix Origin and Control Origin to extract the Council’s technology, the Reeds’ genetic intellect, and the Infinity Stones’ power while explaining that the dead had no consciousness left.
• Chu Hang took the refined legacy through a portal to the Void Fortress, where Tony, Nathaniel, and Reed joined him and Superman.
• Chu Hang transferred the legacy into the fortress, causing its planetary fragments to fuse and its energy systems to improve.
• Chu Hang announced the Ark Project, assigned Tony and Reed to integrate the technology and build the Logic Virus framework, and asked Clark to gather the fighters.
• Reed asked about the Logic Virus’s carrier, but Chu Hang gave no answer as he sensed Rabum Alal watching from a distant dimension.

Tony Stark and Reed Richards completed a Logic Virus designed to destroy the Beyonders, but Adam was the only existing being who could carry it into the Beyond Realm. Chu Hang refused to sacrifice him and proposed creating an artificial carrier, just as a message from Battleworld announced an incoming green-energy object.

• Tony Stark and Reed Richards completed the Logic Virus and explained that its carrier would need a Beyonder energy signature, its own mind, and the ability to withstand conceptual collapse.
• Reed Richards identified the sleeping Adam as the only person in the fortress who met the carrier requirements, and Wanda erupted in Chaos Magic to protect her son.
• Chu Hang calmed Wanda, refused to let Adam become the carrier, and proposed using Mapmaker liquid metal and the Void Origin to build an artificial one.
• Chu Hang said he would solve the artificial carrier's need for a mind, and Nathaniel reported a signal from Battleworld approaching the Void Fortress.
• Tony displayed a message asking to see their new weapon, while Chu Hang recognized the incoming green energy as a gift from someone he knew.

Chu Hang intercepted a corrupted Mapmaker carrying Doom’s holographic projection and obtained Doom’s rewritten Beyonders code, partial Battleworld coordinates, and research after defeating the magic protecting it. Back at the Void Fortress, Tony and Reed examined the Mapmaker as Chu Hang began reshaping its liquid metal into a humanoid framework for their weapon against the Beyonders.

• Chu Hang stopped the unstable green energy, revealed the corrupted Mapmaker inside, and recognized Doom’s projection in a crystal embedded in its wreckage.
• Chu Hang burned away the Mapmaker’s green runes, exposing the Beyonders’ underlying code that Doom had rewritten, and brought the wreckage back to the Void Fortress.
• Chu Hang defeated the runes guarding Doom’s crystal and absorbed its information, including partial Battleworld coordinates and Doom’s research into the Beyonders.
• Tony and Reed examined the Mapmaker and discovered Doom had rebuilt its core architecture around his own logic.
• Chu Hang explained that he and Doom were using each other, then began stripping the Beyonders’ imprints from the liquid metal and shaping it into a human framework.

Chu Hang reforged the Beyonders’ liquid metal by burning away their directives and rewriting its logic with the Phoenix Origin and Control Origin. He summoned the Void Walker from his Inner Universe, leaving the newly freed metal flowing onto the creature’s head.

• Chu Hang began reshaping the liquid metal with the Phoenix Origin and Control Origin as Tony and Reed activated three advanced technologies to stabilize the process.
• Clark, Thor, Strange, Wanda, and Adam defended the control room as the metal resisted and threatened to collapse the lab.
• Chu Hang burned away the Beyonders’ imprints and rewrote the metal’s logic, while his Greed Concept devoured the runes attacking him.
• After the seventy-third energy surge, the Beyonders’ final restraint broke, and the liquid metal accepted Chu Hang’s new definition.
• Chu Hang opened a fissure into his Inner Universe and summoned the Void Walker, an ultimate creature created to devour void energy.
• The Void Walker emerged and bowed to Chu Hang, who let the liquid metal flow onto its head.

Chu Hang fused the Void Walker with liquid metal, implanted the Logic Virus, and gave it an artificial fighting consciousness. The transformation succeeded, and Chu Hang named the obedient new being Zero.

• The liquid metal and Void Origin fought until Chu Hang used the Greed Concept to force them to adapt and fuse.
• Chu Hang compressed the Void Walker while Tony and Reed injected the Logic Virus, which threatened to overload and destroy the vessel.
• Clark tried to pull out a conduit, but an electric surge blasted him into a wall, and Wanda caught him with Chaos Magic.
• Chu Hang created an artificial fighting consciousness and pressed it into the Void Walker's chest.
• The transformed Void Walker rose, knelt before Chu Hang, and linked its consciousness to him.
• Chu Hang confirmed the fusion and virus had succeeded, then named the being Zero.

Zero defeated Thor in a test by analyzing and rewriting the rules of his divine power, proving himself as the Godslayer. Chu Hang then launched the Ark Protocol, and Zero began transforming the Void Fortress into a living multiversal warship.

• Thor attacked Zero with Stormbreaker and the power of the Six Infinity Stones, but Zero analyzed the lightning and stopped the blow with one hand.
• Zero reversed the rules of Thor’s divine power, injuring him until Chu Hang subdued Zero and restored Thor’s power.
• Tony and Reed examined the combat data, and Thor conceded that Zero had defeated him; Chu Hang declared Zero had passed the test and announced the Ark Protocol.
• Zero liquefied into the Void Fortress’s energy systems, took control of its architecture, and began reshaping its hull, weapons, and defenses.
• Zero’s silver vessels avoided Wanda and Adam, while the fortress evolved into a structure poised between machine and living being.

The newly transformed Void Fortress, renamed the Ark, raced to Universe-404 to stop three Mapmakers from destroying it. Chu Hang and his allies arrived through a dangerous route outside reality, and the Ark impaled one Mapmaker as the hunt began.

• The Void Fortress completed its transformation into a living warship, and Chu Hang named it the Ark.
• Chu Hang ordered Zero to take the Ark to Universe-404, where three Mapmakers were rapidly erasing the universe.
• Reed warned that a conventional jump would take too long, so Chu Hang ordered Zero to tear through reality and travel outside the dimensional routes.
• Zero forged a safe passage through the Dimensional Interlayer, and the Ark reached Universe-404 in thirteen seconds.
• Chu Hang raised the Phoenix Origin, and Zero reshaped the Ark's hull into three black rams.
• The Ark charged the nearest Mapmaker and drove its rams into the creature's core.

Zero infected one Mapmakers with a Logic Virus and seized control of it, while the Ark absorbed the remaining Mapmakers' attacks. The converted Mapmakers turned on its former companions, destroying half of one before the battle continued.

• The three rams pierced a Mapmakers' shell, and Zero's liquid silver constructs infiltrated its body with a Logic Virus.
• Reed recognized that Zero was rewriting the Mapmakers' core logic as purple-black patterns spread through it and its systems began to fail.
• Two other Mapmakers fired Erasure Beams at the Ark, whose silver scales absorbed the energy and replenished its reserves.
• The remaining Mapmakers targeted their infected companion with reset beams, but its runes went dark and its core erupted with purple-red light.
• Zero announced that control of the target unit had been acquired, and the infected Mapmakers turned its cannon on its former companions.
• The infected Mapmakers struck one companion with a purple-red beam, breaking apart half its body.

Chu Hang and Zero trapped the Mapmakers, fed on their energy, and extracted their technology, transforming the Ark. As the crew reacted to the upgrade and Adam absorbed filtered Beyonder energy, a vast presence from a higher dimension appeared to notice them.

• Zero locked the three Mapmakers inside a dimensional cage, preventing one from transmitting data to the Beyond Realm or self-destructing.
• At Chu Hang's command, the Ark pierced all three Mapmakers with tentacles and absorbed their energy while Zero extracted their core technology.
• Wanda let Adam absorb a wisp of filtered Beyonder energy, and the child’s unstable power settled before he fell asleep.
• Zero reported extracting advanced weapons, a multiverse coordinate system, an energy converter, and a dimensional shuttle engine as the Ark began integrating them.
• A brilliant white light tore through from a higher dimension, and the crew sensed the multidimensional universe turning its gaze toward them.

A Higher-Dimensional Will scanned Universe-404, and Chu Hang disguised the Mapmakers’ remains with Adam’s Beyonder power to make the scan withdraw. As the universe began collapsing, Chu Hang stole a fragment of the Ivory King’s Beyonder Power while the Ark prepared to escape.

• A white gaze scanned the Ark and Universe-404, and Zero warned that it would lock onto them within seconds.
• Chu Hang rewrote the three Mapmakers’ energy clusters to mimic completed missions, while Adam’s power helped forge a signal that fooled the scan.
• The white light withdrew after verifying the disguise, but it left a mark that began destabilizing Universe-404.
• Zero warned that the Dimensional Shuttle Engine needed twelve seconds to charge, so Chu Hang used Greed Concept to tear a fragment of Beyonder Power from the retreating projection.
• The control room’s instruments failed as the stolen fragment’s power disrupted their systems.

As the universe was erased, Chu Hang forced a fragment of the Beyonders' essence into Zero's core, enabling the Ark to escape by jumping beyond its dimension. The survivors arrived in a Concept Junkyard, where Zero reported that he had assimilated the fragment and gained new system permissions.

• Tony reported that the universe's physical constants were collapsing as stars vanished, while Reed's engine countdown neared completion.
• Chu Hang slammed the fragment from the Ivory King's shadow into the Ark's core, forcing Zero to fuse it with his existing systems.
• Zero consumed the Beyonder Power fragment as the Ark's hull transformed, and Reed realized Chu Hang's plan was to make the ship pass as an agent of the Beyonders.
• Chu Hang ordered Zero to make the jump, and the Ark vanished from the collapsing universe on a conceptual level.
• The Ark and its crew survived in a gray zone Chu Hang called a Concept Junkyard, where Reed discovered that Zero's core had been rebuilt.
• Zero announced that the Beyonder Power fragment had been assimilated and that the Ark had acquired new system permissions.

After Zero hid the Ark from the Beyonders’ observation system, Chu Hang led the exhausted ship into a void filled with the remains of erased universes and ordered it to feed. The Ark’s attack on a corpse of a Living Tribunal variant triggered its defenses and attracted a swarm of Void Scavengers.

• Zero redefined the Ark as deleted, garbled code in the Beyonders’ observation system, making it seem too insignificant for the Ivory King to notice.
• Clark saw that the gray void was filled with the conceptual remains of universes, and Chu Hang identified it as a dumping ground for the Multiverse.
• Chu Hang ordered Zero to activate predation mode, and the Ark’s tendrils absorbed a dead universe’s energy while Zero stored its extracted conceptual toxins.
• Chu Hang directed the Ark to devour a larger crystal-covered mass, which Clark recognized as the corpse of a Living Tribunal variant that had resisted the Beyonders.
• The corpse’s defensive reflex damaged the Ark because it mistook the ship’s Beyonder energy signature for an enemy, and its attack drew the attention of nearby Void Scavengers.

Chu Hang defied the Ark crew’s demand to flee and attacked the Void Scavengers and the Living Tribunal’s corpse, devouring its Judgment Light and then absorbing its remaining conceptual power. As his Inner Universe transformed, Chu Hang began evolving from a Universal-level being toward a Multiversal-level existence.

• With the Ark’s shields failing and the Void Scavengers closing in, Chu Hang refused to abandon the Living Tribunal’s corpse and flew out to claim it.
• Chu Hang used the Greed Concept to shred and devour more than a hundred Void Scavengers as they swarmed him.
• Chu Hang charged into the corpse’s Judgment Light, endured severe injuries, and devoured the entire beam by combining Greed with his fourteen laws.
• Chu Hang opened his Inner Universe and enclosed the Living Tribunal’s corpse, using the Control Origin to break down its attacks and rewrite its Arbitration Concept.
• Chu Hang absorbed the corpse’s Concept Fragments, causing the laws in his Inner Universe to fuse and his body to transform.
• Tony’s systems failed, Reed recognized Chu Hang’s evolution toward the Multiversal level, and Clark watched Chu Hang’s wounds heal as reality warped around him.

Chu Hang absorbed the Living Tribunal’s authority, completed his Inner Universe, and turned the Ark’s fight against the Void Scavengers into a hunt. He recovered the coordinates of the Beyonders’ Engine Room, leaving the crew facing a destination at the top of the Multiverse where theory predicted only Absolute Nothingness.

• Chu Hang absorbed the Living Tribunal’s corpse and fused its powers of arbitration and balance into his Inner Universe, completing his evolution.
• Chu Hang used his new authority to devour the fleeing Void Scavengers, while the Ark transformed into Predator Form and joined the hunt.
• Reed ordered Zero to disable the Ark’s safety protocols, and the ship harvested Scavengers and their Concept Fragments to evolve and build conceptual weapons.
• Chu Hang returned to the control room, claimed supreme authority over the Ark, and received memories revealing the Beyonders’ Engine Room and the All Things Die Bomb.
• Chu Hang produced coordinates for the Engine Room, and Reed recognized that the location lay at the top of the Multiverse, where his theories predicted Absolute Nothingness.

Chu Hang forced the Ark through higher-dimensional barriers and used the authority of the Living Tribunal to demolish the Wall of Sighs. After absorbing the wall’s universe remnants, he ordered the Ark onward into the deeper void.

• Chu Hang ordered Zero to overload the Ark’s engines and charge toward the Summit of the Multiverse, while Reed warned that the coordinate was a forbidden conceptual vacuum zone.
• Zero transformed the Ark into its full-power War Form, and the ship broke through the Fourth-Dimensional Wall and successive dimensional membranes.
• As the Ark entered the eighth dimension and neared the ninth, Chu Hang projected an absolute domain to stabilize the ship and guided it through the Ninth Dimension membrane.
• Zero identified the Beyonders’ defensive system, the Wall of Sighs, and Reed warned that contact would erase them.
• Chu Hang invoked the Living Tribunal’s authority, judged the Wall of Sighs an illegal obstruction, and destroyed it with a golden pillar of judgment.
• Chu Hang absorbed the wall’s universe remnants and ordered Zero to take the Ark deeper into the void.

Chu Hang brought the Ark through the Wall of Sighs into the Beyond Realm and used his authority to protect the crew from its warped laws. At the Ivory Tower, he confronted the Ivory King as a conceptual attack began, then noticed a torn black Narrative Thread leaking dark green energy and recognized Doctor Doom.

• The Ark breached the Wall of Sighs, and Chu Hang used his power to shield the crew from the Beyond Realm’s high-dimensional effects.
• Chu Hang imposed his own laws on the surrounding void, restoring time, space, and the Ark’s failing defenses.
• The crew discovered the Ivory Tower and learned from Reed that its Narrative Threads recorded the lives of entire universes.
• The Ivory King appeared and attacked the Ark with Words Become Law, but Chu Hang challenged his authority and resisted the pressure.
• The Ivory King unleashed the Narrative Threads to erase the Ark, and Chu Hang spotted a torn black thread leaking dark green energy that reminded him of Doctor Doom.

Chu Hang revealed Doctor Doom’s hidden Memetic Virus and used it to infect the Ivory King’s Narrative Network, turning its erasure attack against its master. As the network collapsed into chaos, the Ivory King showed panic and Chu Hang ordered it to explode.

• The Ivory King attacked the Ark with a torrent of Narrative Threads, gravely injuring Clark, Thor, Wanda, and the rest of the team.
• Chu Hang held back the higher-dimensional attack with the power of fourteen Supreme Laws and grabbed the black thread Doctor Doom had hidden in the Narrative Network.
• Chu Hang tore the thread free, releasing Doctor Doom’s green Memetic Virus into the network.
• The virus infected seven main Narrative Threads and reversed their purpose, redirecting their destructive power toward the Ivory King.
• The Ivory King panicked as the network collapsed, and Chu Hang commanded it to explode.

After destroying the Inner Universe passage, Chu Hang began to be erased from existence as the Phoenix Origin and Greed’s power tore through him. Adam absorbed the rampaging energy and temporarily stabilized him, leaving the group three days to repair Chu Hang’s source while hiding in a Conceptual Blind Spot.

• Chu Hang collapsed after ordering repairs to Target Zero, and Reed explained that the Ivory King’s attack was erasing Chu Hang from the Multiverse’s Causality Law.
• The Phoenix Origin and Greed’s power clashed inside Chu Hang, releasing a shockwave that injured Clark, Tony, Wanda, and the others and threatened to destroy the dimension.
• Adam touched Chu Hang’s chest and absorbed the Void energy, stopping the crack from spreading.
• Reed warned that Adam could only serve as a temporary vessel and that Chu Hang had three days to live without a repair to his source.
• Tony ordered Chu Hang moved to a medical pod, assigned the others to stabilize him and repair the Ark, and told Wanda to protect Adam.
