Chapter Summaries

After mastering his Kryptonian abilities, Chu Hang traveled to Central City and copied the Speed Force from Barry Allen. He survived the unstable collision between the Speed Force and the Time Stone’s power, then vanished, leaving Barry wary and confused.

• Chu Hang tested his Super Hearing and X-Ray Vision while searching the world for unusual activity.
• Chu Hang heard The Flash racing through Central City and used the Law of Space to travel there.
• Chu Hang staged a fall in an alley, touched Barry Allen, and copied the Speed Force.
• The Speed Force destabilized Chu Hang’s powers and timeline, while Barry felt his own Speed Force being pulled away.
• Chu Hang forced the Speed Force and the Time Stone’s power into a fragile balance, acquired the Speed Force, and disappeared as Barry watched.

Chu Hang stabilized the copied Speed Force by separating it from the Time Stone’s power and locking it in a Spatial Cage. Afterward, he discovered that the Speed Force let him perceive branching outcomes and use its vibrations to interact with objects in new ways.

• Chu Hang saw the Speed Force and the Time Stone’s temporal power destabilizing his Law Domain and disrupting his perception of time.
• Chu Hang used his will to separate the red Speed Force lightning from the green temporal radiance.
• Chu Hang sealed the Speed Force in a Spatial Cage reinforced by the Laws of Space and Force, then restored the Time Stone’s power to its original paths.
• Chu Hang recovered enough to reach for a glass, but he saw multiple possible outcomes and accidentally crushed it.
• Chu Hang vibrated his hand through the glass, then solidified it and grasped the glass without disturbing it.

Chu Hang absorbed solar energy near the sun to break through the limits of his laws and merge the Speed Force with the Law of Time. He reached Mid Skyfather-level, leaving him confident he could defeat Thanos while still mindful of greater multiversal powers.

• Chu Hang assessed his powers and concluded that his Low Skyfather-level strength was not enough to face Thanos, who might possess all six Stones.
• Chu Hang flew to the sun and absorbed its energy to accelerate the growth of his powers.
• The Law of Space, Law of Force, Law of the Body, Mental Law, and Law of Reality broke through, but the Law of Time remained stuck.
• Chu Hang released the Speed Force from its cage and used solar energy to bind it with the Law of Time, creating a balanced power that let him perceive temporal branches and choose among them.
• Chu Hang's life essence transformed, raising him to Mid Skyfather-level and giving him at least a ninety-nine percent chance of defeating Thanos.

Chu Hang waited for General Zod’s arrival, hoping to absorb energy from the World Engine while Superman defended Earth. After Zod began his invasion, Chu Hang watched from an abandoned factory as Superman fought Kryptonian warriors and a World Engine deployment device activated.

• Chu Hang used Super Hearing to learn that an alien signal was approaching Earth and decided to wait for Zod and the World Engine.
• Chu Hang practiced combining the Speed Force with the Law of Time, using molecular phasing and precise control to pick up a glass.
• Chu Hang discovered that a cloaked spacecraft near Metropolis was human, then waited until Zod’s real ship arrived and broadcast its demand for Kal-El.
• Chu Hang teleported to an abandoned factory and watched through a hacked military satellite feed as Superman rescued falling fighter jets and refused Zod’s demands.
• Zod sent World Engine deployment devices across the city while Kryptonian warriors attacked Superman, and one device began activating as Chu Hang watched.

Chu Hang absorbed the World Engine’s energy while subtly influencing the battle between Superman and Zod. As their fight reached its fiercest point, Chu Hang’s Law Domain became firmly established, and Zod faced a battered but resolute Superman.

• Chu Hang split his spatial passage into countless channels, greatly improving his energy absorption and stabilizing his Mid Skyfather-level power.
• Zod entered the battlefield and relentlessly attacked Superman, exploiting his concern for civilians and his weak combat technique.
• Chu Hang caused falling debris to block Zod’s heat vision, giving Superman a chance to strike Zod with his own heat vision.
• Chu Hang continued absorbing the World Engine’s energy and nudged battlefield events to help Superman avoid danger as the World Engine reached peak output.
• Superman and Zod fought in the sky until a burst of white light consumed the surrounding wreckage, leaving both battered and facing each other.
• Chu Hang stood as his Law Domain became firm and the energy within him overflowed.

Chu Hang stopped the World Engine disrupting Metropolis, then defeated Zod by severing his connection to the yellow sun’s power. After saving a family from a collapsing building, Superman knocked Zod unconscious, but Chu Hang stopped him from destroying the last World Engine and claimed it for himself.

• Chu Hang shut down the first World Engine, making its beam vanish and bringing the battle between Zod and Superman to a halt.
• Zod attacked Chu Hang, who used Law Domain and a tap of his finger to drain Zod’s yellow-sun power and send him crashing to the street.
• Chu Hang urged Superman to continue the fight, and Superman pinned the weakened Zod down after disarming his final attack.
• When the last World Engine began emitting a destructive beam, Chu Hang teleported a trapped family to safety.
• Superman refused to kill Zod and knocked him unconscious, then headed for the last World Engine until Chu Hang blocked him and said he would handle it.

Chu Hang stabilized the last World Engine, accessed its Kryptonian database, and discovered that his six laws belonged to the Rule Layer, giving him a path toward the Conceptual Layer. He chose Greed as his core concept, shut down the machine, took its miniature black hole and data, and prepared to leave after speaking with Superman.

• Chu Hang detected a flaw that could make the World Engine explode and stopped Superman from trying to move it.
• Chu Hang used his Law Domain to stabilize the World Engine and infiltrated its core, learning Kryptonian theories about the universe’s layers of power.
• When the machine’s defenses attacked his consciousness, Chu Hang used the Mental Law to make its system recognize him as a maintainer and opened the core database.
• Chu Hang learned how Conceptual Layer power differed from Rule Layer power and chose Greed as the core concept he would pursue.
• Chu Hang copied the database, erased the dangerous energy crack, separated the miniature black hole, and shut down the World Engine.
• Superman asked who Chu Hang was, and Chu Hang called himself a passing traveler before indicating that he would soon leave.

Chu Hang organized the Kryptonian database and discovered that an ancient weapon called the Dark Trident might help him break through the Conceptual Layer. He found Atlantis and its hidden ruins beneath the Atlantic, opened the seal concealing them, and sensed an Atlantean watcher observing him.

• Chu Hang sorted the Kryptonian data and learned that the Kryptonians had detected Atlantis and a powerful weapon called the Abyss Trident beneath the ocean.
• Chu Hang flew over the Atlantic and used Super Hearing to locate an unusual undersea city, then descended to Atlantis.
• Chu Hang bypassed the city and found murals in a deep trench depicting the Dark Trident draining the force of the Life Law.
• Chu Hang discovered a sealed space beneath an ancient temple and opened a passage by manipulating the Law of Space.
• Chu Hang sensed a distant watcher monitoring him, addressed them, and watched their presence disappear.

Chu Hang entered the Lord of the Abyss’s domain to claim the Dark Trident and fought its robed guardian, who wielded the Law of Death. After Chu Hang’s fused laws collapsed much of the domain, the guardian admitted it could not stop him, leaving the trident within reach.

• Chu Hang crossed a spatial rift into a dark independent realm and found the Dark Trident atop a skull-carved altar.
• The Lord of the Abyss appeared and recognized Chu Hang as an outsider who had come for the trident.
• The Lord of the Abyss attacked with Existence Erasure, but Chu Hang dodged and his spatial rifts were erased by the guardian’s Law of Death.
• Chu Hang unleashed a sphere combining six major laws, and its collision with the guardian’s attack caused the realm to collapse.
• The Lord of the Abyss, standing across the damaged altar, admitted defeat and said it could not stop Chu Hang.

Chu Hang seized the Dark Trident and endured its deadly corruption, using his existing laws and vitality to absorb its power instead. Inside the weapon, he confronted the first king of Atlantis’s consciousness imprint and began integrating the trident’s law of death into his system.

• The black-robed figure warned Chu Hang that the Dark Trident devoured the souls of anyone who tried to wield it, but Chu Hang climbed the altar anyway.
• Chu Hang grasped the trident and received the first king of Atlantis’s knowledge of death as its black flames began consuming his vitality.
• Chu Hang’s law of time and celestial life energy kept him alive as he processed the torrent of insight, while the black-robed figure predicted he would become the fourteenth victim.
• Inside the trident, the first king’s consciousness imprint showed Chu Hang the thirteen trapped souls and declared that he would join them.
• Chu Hang used his law of death and other powers to absorb the trident’s corrosive energy, revealing six interconnected laws and astonishing the king’s imprint.
• Chu Hang began absorbing the trident’s power of death, rapidly deepening his understanding of the law.

Chu Hang absorbed the Dark Trident’s accumulated knowledge and power, gaining a deeper understanding of the Law of Death. He uncovered the trident’s murderous history and the Abyssal Will’s trap, while the Will’s power flowed into him.

• Chu Hang entered the trident and began absorbing its energy, overwhelming the artifact spirit.
• The trident’s knowledge helped Chu Hang understand that the Law of Death could define and erase bodies, souls, concepts, history, civilizations, and even laws.
• Chu Hang saw memories of the first king killing the Old Gods and forging the trident from their power, before Atlantis sank beneath the sea.
• Chu Hang realized the trident had become a prison for the Abyssal Will, a collective of dead souls that lured challengers into its trap.
• The Abyssal Will failed to consume Chu Hang, whose multiple laws, mental strength, and foundation in the Law of Death made him its worst nightmare.

Chu Hang escaped Atlantis with the Dark Trident, but the Green Lantern Corps confronted him over its dangerous energy. After he erased their attacks with the law of death, a Guardian arrived as the confrontation escalated.

• Chu Hang escaped the collapsing trench and used the Dark Trident to break Mera’s water attacks as she and Atlantean guards pursued him.
• Chu Hang refused to surrender the trident to Hal Jordan and two Green Lanterns, who demanded to inspect it.
• The three Green Lanterns attacked, but Chu Hang’s law of death erased their energy constructs and forced them to retreat.
• Hal Jordan called for reinforcements, and a Guardian emerged from a rift in space above the Green Lantern ships.

Chu Hang resisted Ganthet’s demand to surrender the Dark Trident, then negotiated over its danger and his need to return to his own universe. Ganthet offered him a powerful Green Lantern Ring in exchange for accompanying him to investigate an unknown force that had destroyed three star systems.

• Ganthet demanded that Chu Hang hand over the Dark Trident under the Universal Security Act, but Chu Hang refused and defended himself against Ganthet’s Green Lantern constructs with his Law Domain.
• Ganthet burned his life essence to approach Peak Skyfather-level power, but Chu Hang released the trident and proposed taking it out of the universe when he returned home.
• Chu Hang explained that the Abyssal Will obeyed him and argued that leaving the universe would remove the trident as a threat; Ganthet accepted the possibility but questioned how Chu Hang would obtain enough energy to open a spatial rift.
• Ganthet offered access to Oa’s Central Power Battery if Chu Hang helped deal with an unknown power that had destroyed three inhabited star systems, but Chu Hang refused to become his enforcer.
• Ganthet proposed that Chu Hang only accompany him to investigate the power’s source and offered his own Green Lantern Ring, which held thousands of years of accumulated willpower energy.

Chu Hang and Ganthet investigated the destruction of three star systems and discovered a rift that released a projection of the Anti-Monitor. Chu Hang failed to seal the passage, and the void force rebounding from it infected his hand.

• Chu Hang accepted Ganthet's invitation to investigate the destroyed star systems and traveled with him and Hal Jordan's Green Lanterns to the edge of Sector Zero.
• Chu Hang sensed a spatial vortex and sent a consciousness avatar inside, where it saw a shifting shadow that devoured the void before he severed the connection.
• The vortex expanded into a vast rift, and a colossal hand emerged, disintegrating Ganthet's shields as the Anti-Monitor's projection crawled through.
• Chu Hang attacked the hand with the Dark Trident and used his Law Domain to try to erase it, but the projection overcame both attacks.
• Ganthet identified the creature as a projection of the Anti-Monitor and urged Chu Hang to flee; Chu Hang tried to seal the rift but was repelled and infected by void force.
• Chu Hang suppressed the spreading infection with his law of death, but the black patterns remained on his hand.

Chu Hang tried to use the Void Force mark on his hand to infiltrate the Anti-Monitor’s projection and destroy it from within. As the Anti-Monitor examined him and flooded him with more Void Force, Chu Hang struggled to keep his fragile Law Domain intact while the two forces began to merge.

• Ganthet told Chu Hang that the Anti-Monitor’s projection could not be driven away before the Guardians gathered enough power, and that entering it to destroy its consciousness core would likely erase him completely.
• Chu Hang released his suppression of the Black Noir mark and used his seven integrated laws to contain and guide the Void Force spreading through his body.
• Chu Hang amplified a faint resonance between Void Force and his laws until the Anti-Monitor noticed that he was imitating it.
• The Anti-Monitor compressed its projection and touched Chu Hang’s chest with a concentrated Void Force fingertip.
• Chu Hang directed the new Void Force into his prepared passage, and the two streams began to fuse without repelling each other.

Chu Hang destroyed the Anti-Monitor Projection and claimed its weakened core, then received Ganthet’s Green Lantern Ring. He studied the closing rift for clues that could help him return to the Marvel Universe.

• Chu Hang detonated a fragment of his consciousness to wound the Anti-Monitor Projection’s core, then struck the fissure with the Dark Trident and compressed the projection into a cracked black crystal.
• Chu Hang stored the crystal in the Flerken’s spatial stomach, and Ganthet gave him the Green Lantern Ring as promised.
• Ganthet warned Chu Hang that the Anti-Monitor’s true body remained in the Multiverse’s Void Layer and might return.
• Chu Hang questioned Ganthet about the rift and realized it might reveal a way back to the Marvel Universe.
• Chu Hang used his Law of Space to study the rift and collected a spatial fragment containing the coordinates of both universes.

Chu Hang crossed from the DC Universe into the Marvel Universe through a collapsing multiversal passage and arrived in a devastated city five years after Thanos's Snap. He discovered that Wanda had vanished and realized she had been among those erased.

• Chu Hang opened a passage to the Marvel Universe, using the Void Force to overcome the Multiverse's resistance and racing through a collapsing spacetime tunnel.
• Chu Hang survived the crossing and crashed into an abandoned city, where his Healing Factor repaired his severe injuries.
• Chu Hang used his Super Hearing and found that life across North America had fallen by half, confirming that Thanos had carried out the Snap.
• Chu Hang checked a computer and learned that it was October 15, 2023, five years after he had left in 2018.
• Chu Hang located Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Clint Barton, but could not find Wanda's life signal.
• Chu Hang realized that Wanda had been erased by Thanos's Snap.

Chu Hang found Tony Stark at his cabin and proposed traveling through time to retrieve the Infinity Stones and undo the Snap. Tony agreed to examine the plan, while Chu Hang set out to secure the Pym Particles they would need.

• Chu Hang tracked Tony Stark to his lakeside cabin and reunited with him, where he met Tony’s daughter, Morgan.
• Tony told Chu Hang that the Avengers had failed to stop Thanos after the Snap and that Thanos had destroyed the Infinity Stones before disappearing.
• Chu Hang proposed using the Quantum Realm to travel into the past and borrow the Infinity Stones, and Tony recognized the need for a spacetime locator.
• Tony agreed to help, but Chu Hang explained that Hank Pym and Hope had disappeared and that they needed Pym Particles to enter the Quantum Realm.
• Chu Hang said he could make Pym Particles and would find the surviving second Ant-Man, while Tony asked to hear the full plan.

Chu Hang found Scott Lang after he emerged from the Quantum Realm and explained that five years had passed since the Snap. He took Scott’s remaining Pym Particles to support a plan to reverse the Snap, then learned Scott may have heard a voice in the Quantum Realm.

• Chu Hang tracked the Quantum Realm’s spatial traces to an abandoned warehouse near San Francisco, where he found Scott Lang beside the damaged Quantum Tunnel equipment.
• Chu Hang told Scott that five years had passed and that Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne, and Hope had vanished in the Snap, leaving Cassie’s survival uncertain.
• Chu Hang proposed using the Quantum Realm for time travel and said Tony Stark was working on spacetime navigation; Scott agreed to consider helping after checking on Cassie.
• Chu Hang took Scott’s remaining Pym Particles and gave him the Avengers Compound’s address.
• Before leaving, Chu Hang asked about unusual experiences in the Quantum Realm, and Scott recalled hearing a faint voice calling his name.

Scott Lang reunited with Cassie and brought Pym Particles to the Avengers Compound, where the team began preparing to collect the Infinity Stones. A scan revealed an artificial signal linked to Scott’s time in the Quantum Realm, possibly from Janet, while Tony worked on the Space-Time GPS and the team set out to gather its scattered members.

• Scott Lang reunited with Cassie at her home and told her he had been trapped somewhere for five years.
• Scott brought six vials of Pym Particles to the Avengers Compound and met Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, and Chu Hang.
• Tony Stark unveiled a Space-Time GPS and asked Banner to scan Scott so he could use the Quantum Realm data to calibrate it.
• Banner and Tony detected an artificial resonance in Scott’s cells, and Chu Hang suggested it might be connected to Janet.
• Tony said he needed forty-eight hours to reverse-engineer the Pym Particles, while Scott agreed to enter the Quantum Realm for a test after preparations were complete.
• Chu Hang assigned Steve to find Clint, Natasha to bring Thor back from Norway, and himself to contact Carol, while Tony continued working at the compound.
