Ch. 621TVA's Courtroom Today

Chapter Summary: “TVA’s Courtroom Today”

Plot and events

Gwen accompanies Galacta to the TVA to find Leon. The TVA has evolved from a Spider-Man-focused organization into a diverse multiversal agency, with members from many universes and species. Its courtroom, once used for executions and later trials of multiversal criminals, is now presided over by a JARVIS subunit handling workplace disputes and criminal cases from Dimension Continent.
Leon is watching a trial involving numerous Loki variants accused of forming a gang and repeatedly attacking others. Frog Thor of Universe 666 claims the Lokis belong to the infamous “Loki Kidney-Cutting Gang,” which targets Thors and allegedly stole his kidney. She-Hulk Jennifer translates Frog Thor’s furious testimony, while a Doctor Strange variant serves as the Lokis’ highly effective defense attorney. JARVIS and Leon humorously accept that Thors are naturally destined to have their kidneys attacked by Lokis.
Galacta, Gwen, and Leon then leave the courtroom to discuss Galacta’s father, Galactus, who is on Battleworld. Leon explains that Deadpool, acting as an unofficial “spy,” managed to send information from Battleworld despite Doctor Doom’s interference disabling normal TVA equipment. Deadpool reported that Galactus had recently appeared there. Galacta prepares to investigate and restrain her father if necessary, while Gwen volunteers to join them, partly to help reconnect with the three missing Spider-Men. Leon opens a portal to the End of Time, and the group departs.

Character developments

  • Leon remains relaxed and amused by the TVA’s absurd proceedings, but also acts as an organizer and leader when a crisis involving Galactus emerges. He acknowledges Gwen’s long absence and changing appearance with playful familiarity.
  • Gwen shows increasing confidence and attachment to Leon. She is eager to accompany him, disguising her personal desire to stay close to him as a practical offer to locate the missing Spider-Men. Her mention that Wanda missed Leon also hints at unresolved emotional connections.
  • Galacta is concerned about her father’s possible loss of control and readily accepts responsibility for dealing with him. Her relationship with Leon appears trusting and familial.
  • Deadpool is characterized as an unconventional but surprisingly effective intelligence source, able to bypass Battleworld’s communication barriers through his fourth-wall-breaking abilities.
  • The Loki variants are portrayed as repeat offenders and skilled manipulators, while their Strange attorney is an unusually capable defender.
  • Frog Thor is depicted as outraged, dramatic, and determined to obtain justice for himself and other Thors.

Significant themes

  • Absurdity and parody: The courtroom turns serious legal procedures into multiversal comedy, especially through the kidney-stealing feud between Lokis and Thors.
  • The evolving nature of institutions: The TVA has shifted from an execution-oriented organization into a broader bureaucratic and judicial body serving a growing multiverse.
  • Family and responsibility: Galacta’s willingness to confront Galactus emphasizes the burden of managing a powerful parent, while Leon, Gwen, and Galacta function as a supportive traveling group.
  • Connection across universes: Communication, travel, and relationships persist despite dimensional barriers, technological failure, and years of separation.
  • Unpredictability of identity and power: Variants, talking animals, multiversal versions of heroes, and Deadpool’s unique abilities reinforce the chapter’s flexible, chaotic multiverse.

Character interactions

Gwen and Galacta initially work together to locate Leon. Leon watches the trial alongside them before Galacta asks about her father. Leon explains the Battleworld situation to both women, while Gwen questions the existence of a TVA spy network and how Deadpool bypassed the communication blockade. Galacta and Leon share a practical, familiar understanding of the danger posed by Galactus, while Gwen’s eagerness to join them reveals her emotional closeness to Leon. The courtroom also highlights the comic conflict between Frog Thor and the Loki variants, with Jennifer translating Thor’s testimony and Strange countering it through legal arguments.

Ch. 622Battleworld Rises in Rebellion Today

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After a long period of noninterference between Leon and Doctor Doom, Leon, Gwen, and Galacta visit Battleworld.
  • Battleworld has transformed from scattered tribal lands into a heavily fortified empire. A massive wall surrounds Doom’s central kingdom, protecting dozens of regions and the royal palace from zombies, Gamma Beasts, Deviants, and other monsters.
  • Leon discovers that a rebellion is being organized inside Battleworld by multiple Reed Richards variants. These Reeds, secretly sent there by Dark Strange after being rejected by the Divine Kingdom Universe, have developed advanced technology and planned an uprising against Doom.
  • The group locates Galactus outside the wall. Doom has apparently enslaved or controlled him, using him as a living weapon to consume invading Deviants through energy conduits attached to his body.
  • Galacta initially decides not to rescue her father because he is being fed constantly and appears to be “enjoying” himself. Leon reluctantly agrees to leave Galactus behind.
  • The rebellion begins before they can depart. Reed’s forces launch missiles carrying quantum particles, which disrupt Doom’s control over Galactus and restore his memories.
  • Furious at having been controlled, Galactus destroys the nearby Deviants and heads toward Doom’s palace to confront him.
  • The quantum particles also restore the memories of Battleworld inhabitants whose histories Doom had erased or altered. The awakened population rises up and storms the royal palace.
  • Leon watches the rebellion’s opening before returning to the TVA with Gwen and Galacta.
  • Wanda unexpectedly arrives through a portal and pulls Leon home, leaving Gwen alone and embarrassed after realizing Wanda completely overlooked her.

Character Developments

  • Leon remains amused and observant, choosing to respect Galacta’s decision about whether to rescue Galactus. He recognizes the rebellion as a major turning point and enjoys watching Doom’s carefully controlled empire fall into chaos.
  • Galacta displays her exaggerated appetite and morally questionable sense of humor, prioritizing her father’s opportunity to consume vast amounts of energy over rescuing him immediately. She becomes embarrassed when Leon realizes her reasoning was wrong.
  • Galactus is revealed to resent Doom’s control. Once freed, he reacts violently and sets out to confront Doom, proving that his apparent “comfortable” situation was actually humiliating and unacceptable to him.
  • Gwen is impressed by Battleworld but frequently confused by Leon and Galacta’s behavior. Her growing interest in Leon is suggested when she considers making a move while they are alone, only to be interrupted by Wanda.
  • The Reed Richards variants emerge as the principal instigators of Battleworld’s rebellion. Their intelligence enables them to undermine Doom’s control over both Galactus and the population.
  • Wanda acts possessively and confidently, interrupting Leon’s return and dragging him away in a flirtatious display. Her arrival leaves Gwen feeling ignored and mildly jealous.
  • Doctor Doom does not appear directly, but his authority is challenged on every front: Galactus breaks free, the population regains its memories, and a mass revolt advances on his palace.

Significant Themes

  • Freedom versus control: Doom’s power depends on manipulating memories, enslaving powerful beings, and maintaining an authoritarian structure. The Reeds’ technology restores both personal freedom and collective identity.
  • Rebellion through intelligence and preparation: The Reed variants demonstrate that even Doom’s overwhelming power can be challenged through careful planning and scientific innovation.
  • Humor amid cosmic conflict: The chapter treats enormous events—Galactus’s enslavement, the collapse of Doom’s empire, and a mass uprising—with comedic irony, particularly through Galacta’s selfish reaction and Leon’s amusement.
  • Family and conflicting perspectives: Galacta’s strange interpretation of her father’s condition contrasts with Galactus’s actual anger, highlighting the gap between affection, appetite, and genuine concern.
  • Jealousy and romantic tension: Gwen’s growing feelings for Leon are hinted at, while Wanda’s possessive interruption creates an awkward and humorous rivalry.

Important Character Interactions

  • Leon and Galacta debate whether Galactus should be rescued, with Galacta ultimately choosing to leave him because he can consume unlimited energy.
  • Gwen questions their logic but accepts the explanation that Doom is treating Galactus well.
  • Leon silently observes and approves of the Reed-led rebellion, while Galacta tries to avoid admitting that her judgment about her father was mistaken.
  • Galactus breaks free of Doom’s control and turns against him.

Ch. 624Return to Familiar Grounds (Part 1)

Summary: Return to Familiar Grounds (Part 1)

  • Leon returns to the Starry World after a long absence. His arrival releases an enormous burst of golden energy that spreads across the Primordial Space, though he quickly suppresses it with his Biological Force Field to prevent destruction.
  • He reflects on how the Starry World differs from Marvel’s cosmology. Rather than existing within one infinite omnipotent domain, it is composed of the vast Primordial Space, which contains countless world clusters, worlds, and Single Universes.

  • After reassuring the World Consciousness that the crisis is over, Leon returns to Earth and meets his two original disciples.
  • The two disciples have unexpectedly accepted the story’s original protagonist as Leon’s disciple in his absence. Leon formally recognizes him as his fourth disciple and presents him with the inheritance of the Time Fortress.
  • Leon strengthens the bodies of all three disciples, helping them prepare for future breakthroughs.
  • He then leaves Earth, breaks through the World Barrier, and enters the Primordial Space. During his travels, he gathers the flesh, blood, and knowledge of powerful beings, eventually earning the feared title “Dark Origin.”

Character Developments

  • Leon: His return emphasizes his extraordinary growth from a minor Stellar Tier figure to an entity comparable to the Primordial Space itself. He is now powerful enough to erase universe-ending threats effortlessly, analyze alien life instantly, and intimidate the strongest beings in the wider cosmos. Despite his immense strength, he remains cautious and deliberately restrains his aura to protect the worlds around him.
  • Leon’s original disciples: They have matured enough to accept and train a disciple on Leon’s behalf. Their actions show both independence and loyalty to their master.
  • The new fourth disciple: The era’s protagonist becomes Leon’s student, receiving the Time Fortress inheritance and joining Leon’s existing disciples. This establishes him as part of Leon’s legacy and places him under the guidance of an overwhelmingly powerful master.
  • World Consciousness: It reacts with shock and uncertainty to Leon’s return because Leon has grown beyond its ability to comprehend or evaluate.

Significant Themes

  • The passage of time and transformation: Leon’s return highlights the enormous change that occurred during his absence, contrasting his former weakness with his current near-omnipotent power.
  • Power and restraint: Leon’s strength is so vast that merely arriving could cause a cosmic catastrophe, forcing him to consciously suppress himself.

  • He reunites with his two original disciples and learns that they have taken in the era’s protagonist as their junior fellow disciple.

Ch. 625Return to Familiar Grounds (Part 2)

Chapter Summary: Return to Familiar Grounds (Part 2)

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Leon creates an inheritance containing knowledge of Transcendence and the flesh and blood of supreme beings, sending it back to Earth.
  • After one hundred thousand years, his three disciples use the inheritance to break out of their world and find him. One has become a Lord, while the other two reach the Half-Chaotic Realm.
  • Leon employs them as research assistants while studying the bodies, genes, and evolutionary potential of powerful beings.
  • After completing his research, Leon realizes that further genetic advancement cannot come solely from external materials. To achieve “infinite” perfection, he must uncover the hidden mental power within the bloodline granted by Initial Earth. He concludes that the ultimate development of the Kryptonian Bloodline lies in the mind.
  • Leon returns to the universe that aided him in the past to repay its gifts:
    • He extracts its complete World Consciousness and gives it a physical, ancestor-level body, transforming it into a naturally supreme lifeform.
    • By reversing time throughout the world, he resurrects Zhou, the original owner of the Time Fortress, and similarly grants him an ancestor-level body.
  • Leon studies the mental fluctuations caused by these acts and discovers that they strengthen and transform his own body, helping him understand how mental power can advance his genes.

  • Using his traversal ability, Leon crosses between worlds almost instantly and arrives back in Marvel.

Character Developments

  • Leon’s disciples: After a hundred thousand years, they become powerful independent beings—one a Lord and two Half-Chaotic powerhouses. Leon considers their education largely complete and releases them to continue developing on their own.
  • World Consciousness: Gains individuality and a physical body, becoming an ancestor-level supreme lifeform rather than remaining an abstract consciousness.
  • Zhou: Is resurrected from the past and restored to his former significance, receiving an ancestor-level body and a new existence beyond his original fate.

  • Repayment and gratitude: Leon returns to the world that supported him and repays both the World Consciousness and Zhou by granting them new lives.
  • Transcendence and self-discovery: Leon’s progress shifts from accumulating knowledge and materials to understanding the deepest origins of his own power.
  • Passing on knowledge: Like a master sending disciples into the world, Leon has given his students the tools to grow independently and trusts them to complete their journey.

Character Interactions

  • Leon works closely with his three disciples, treating them as research assistants while guiding their cultivation and development.
  • He interacts with the World Consciousness by extracting it from the universe and personally creating a body for it.

Chapter Summary: “Creation”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Leon withdraws all of his M-Bodies and channels immense energy into his Divine Kingdom Space, enlarging and strengthening it until it begins to transform into a universe.
  • Rather than allowing it to become an ordinary universe, Leon destroys the newly formed miniature universe, scattering its fragments throughout the Divine Kingdom Universe. This act gives him absolute control over the entire realm, including the many MCU universes previously merged into it.
  • Leon gathers the remaining universes of the Multiverse into his right hand. Using his traversal ability, he reaches into the Void and retrieves the fused Resident Evil universes with his left hand.
  • He merges all these collected worlds into the Divine Kingdom Universe, creating one unified existence.

Chapter Summary: “Creation, a Brand-New Framework”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Leon’s intervention fundamentally alters the universe’s underlying rules, causing reality to revise everyone’s memories and personal histories automatically.
  • On Earth, countless supernatural cultivation systems—internal energy, magic, battle aura, genes, Word Spirits, superpowers, and others—are retroactively established as part of history. Ancient texts explaining these systems also appear.
  • Tony Stark discovers that he possesses a “Machinery” ability, allowing him to use Zero Generation to create powerful weapons. He becomes suspicious that reality has been changed, despite everyone else accepting the revised world as normal.
  • Leon constructs an entirely new cosmic framework:
    • Individual universes can branch into infinite parallel worlds.
    • Parallel worlds form Multiverses, which combine into Megaverses, Omniverses, and higher structures.
    • Universes evolve independently and generate new life.
    • Catastrophic regions accumulate energy and periodically release cosmic calamities such as Immortal Astral Wind, Withered Yin Fire, and Sin-Punishing Heavenly Thunder, destroying weaker universes and maintaining cosmic vitality.
    • Fantasy-style higher realms are added, including Upper Realms, realms above them, and the Boundary Sea, where only Multiverse-level beings can survive.
  • Leon incorporates and expands numerous supernatural systems, giving even relatively minor power systems the potential to reach Multiverse-level strength while imposing clear rules and advancement tiers.
  • After completing the framework, Leon releases an immense wave of energy, causing the new universe cluster to form and inaugurating a new cosmic era.
  • Leon grants the Abstract Concept Entities authority within the new reality, allowing Eternity, Death, and the others to retain their identities and powers, though they must rebuild and expand their influence.
  • The creation of the new universe attracts the Beyonders from the Comic Universe. Four powerful Ivory Kings arrive, intending to destroy universes.
  • Eternity volunteers to fight them. Despite possessing overwhelming power and receiving the support of the other gods, he is surrounded, defeated, and beheaded, ending the chapter on a dramatic cliffhanger.

Character Developments

  • Leon evolves from a powerful creator into the architect of an entire Omniversal system. His knowledge is validated as he successfully designs increasingly complex cosmic laws and power structures.
  • He also demonstrates generosity and loyalty by preserving the Abstract Concept Entities’ roles and granting them authority in his new creation.

  • Eternity shifts from a distant, dignified cosmic entity into an enthusiastic admirer of Leon’s creation. He views Leon as a brother and eagerly seeks to protect the new universe, but his apparent invincibility is shattered when the Beyonders defeat him.
  • The other Abstract Concept Entities become emotionally attached to Leon, addressing him as “brother,” “uncle,” or even “dad,” revealing a much more familial relationship than their former aloof identities suggested.

Significant Themes

  • Reality and rewritten history: Leon’s changes do not merely create new worlds; they alter the past and implant consistent memories, raising questions about whether an unchanged memory or objective history still exists.
  • Creation versus imitation: Leon initially reproduces structures from Marvel cosmology but gradually adds original laws, cultivation realms, evolutionary systems, and cosmic cycles.
  • Order within infinite power: The new framework attempts to prevent arbitrary power escalation by giving every supernatural system defined tiers, rules, and limits.
  • Cosmic evolution and survival: Destruction is made part of the universe’s natural cycle. Cataclysms eliminate weaker worlds and force powerful beings and civilizations to evolve.
  • Friendship and shared investment: Leon rewards the gods who supported his earlier creation, treating cosmic authority as something earned through loyalty and cooperation.
  • The limits of power: Eternity’s sudden defeat emphasizes that even ancient cosmic entities can be vulnerable in the expanding hierarchy of the new reality.

Ch. 633The Ivory Kings' Siege

Summary of “The Ivory Kings’ Siege”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Eternity charges into battle against the Beyonders, but is quickly killed, revealing that he—and the other abstract entities—are merely weak M-Bodies rather than their true forms. Enraged, Death, Infinity, Annihilation, and the other conceptual beings attack as well, only to be slaughtered one after another.
  • Leon realizes the entities are rushing into battle recklessly and compares their deaths to sacrificial animals charging toward slaughter. Preparing to intervene, he declares that the “standard opening” of a major cosmic event has been completed.
  • Leon confronts four powerful Beyonders known as the Ivory Kings, who have taken silver-white mechanical forms. The Ivory Kings dismiss him as an insignificant god, though one mechanically identifies him as a threat comparable to the Living Tribunal.
  • The Beyonders explain that they transcend all existence and intend to conduct an experiment that will destroy every universe, including Leon’s newly created universe. Leon refuses to retreat, insisting that transcending everything does not make them invincible.
  • Leon attacks with Heat Vision, blasting one Ivory King away and forcing the others to defend themselves. Their combined golden energy beams counter his attack, producing shockwaves powerful enough to endanger distant universe clusters.
  • The Ivory Kings surround and attack Leon with universe-destroying energy, but he evades them through instantaneous movement. Both sides recognize that they are evenly matched despite the Beyonders’ numerical advantage.
  • Leon then creates countless universes within the Void. The Beyonders assume these universes are being used as a defensive barrier, but Leon reveals that they are part of his evolutionary method.
  • He absorbs the newly created universes into his body, incorporating them into his cells, blood, and mitochondria. Each cell now contains countless universes filled with Stellar energy, greatly increasing his power.
  • The Ivory Kings launch a coordinated four-directional assault, combining their crimson-gold beams into a devastating cross-shaped blast. Although the attack should injure even the Living Tribunal, Leon appears to remain alive—and seems to be smiling—leaving the outcome unresolved.

Character Developments

  • Leon shifts from shocked observer to active defender of his creation. His initial frustration at the abstract entities’ foolish deaths gives way to confidence and strategic control.
  • He demonstrates that his strength is not merely based on conventional combat abilities. His ability to create and absorb universes reveals an unconventional evolutionary path and suggests that his power may now exceed the Ivory Kings’ expectations.
  • Eternity and the abstract entities are portrayed as reckless, emotionally driven, and far weaker than Leon believed. Their deaths establish the danger of the Beyonders and expose the difference between true conceptual entities and disposable M-Bodies.
  • The Ivory Kings begin the chapter supremely arrogant, confident that their status as beings beyond Infinity makes them untouchable. Leon’s resistance forces them to revise their assessment of him from a Tribunal-level threat to something even more dangerous.

Significant Themes

  • Appearance versus reality: The abstract entities appear to be supreme cosmic beings but are only expendable M-Bodies, while Leon’s seemingly simple actions conceal profound power.
  • Arrogance and miscalculation: The Beyonders’ belief that nothing can challenge them leads them to underestimate Leon and misunderstand his creation of universes.
  • Evolution through creation: Leon does not merely destroy or defend universes; he uses them as material for his own evolution, suggesting that creation and power are inseparable.
  • Recklessness versus strategy: The abstract entities attack emotionally and die needlessly, whereas Leon studies the battlefield, adapts, and turns the enemy’s assumptions against them.
  • Cosmic survival and responsibility: Leon refuses to abandon his newly created universe, emphasizing the creator’s duty to protect what he has made.

Character Interactions

  • Leon reacts with disbelief and frustration to Eternity’s doomed charge, while the other gods respond with grief and rage.
  • The Ivory Kings mock Leon and threaten to erase him from existence and history. Leon answers their threats with calm defiance and direct attacks.
  • Their exchanges reveal contrasting attitudes: the Beyonders rely on superiority and intimidation, while Leon remains focused on proving that even beings who transcend Infinity can be defeated.
  • The battle evolves into a contest of adaptation: the Ivory Kings coordinate their attacks and revise their threat assessment, while Leon surprises them by transforming the universes around him into a source of personal power.

  • Leon kills the snake-tailed Beyonder with a single punch. The remaining three flee toward the Beyond-Realm, but Leon follows their escape route with his power and destroys them before they can reach safety.
  • He collects the remains of dead gods and abstract entities, intending to recycle or repurpose them—particularly for Tony’s experiments.
  • Returning to his universe, Leon releases his family and friends. He explains that he preserved their uniqueness during the universe’s creation and fused them with the origins of similar variants, greatly increasing their abilities.
  • Leon’s recreated S Universe develops into a setting where multiple power systems—Gene Evolution, Word Spirits, cultivation, swordsmanship, and ascension—flourish alongside familiar heroes and characters.
  • The universe includes an Upper Realm, God Realm, and Immortal Realm. Diana, Kara, Pepper, and others become abstract conceptual entities capable of traveling freely through these higher realms.

Key Plot Points and Events

  • An overwhelming army of Beyonders surrounds Leon, sealing every escape route and unleashing attacks powerful enough to threaten the Multiverse.
  • Leon, strengthened by two months of absorbing sunlight, stands motionless and survives the combined assault completely unharmed. His durability shocks the Beyonders, who speculate that he may embody the concept of defense—or even be the prophesied Eternal Catastrophe.
  • Leon declares that although the Beyonders “surpass all things,” he surpasses them. He then disappears so completely that even the omniscient Ivory Kings cannot detect him.

  • The surviving Beyonders remain terrified and confused until Doom’s group arrives, with Doom dramatically announcing that he has come to claim the future.

Character Developments

  • Leon is established as vastly superior to the Beyonders. His confidence becomes justified rather than boastful, and his combat ability, durability, speed, and capacity to absorb and analyze power are demonstrated decisively.

  • Destruction and reconstruction: The defeat of the Beyonders ends one cosmic threat but creates the responsibility of rebuilding the damaged Multiverse.
  • Pragmatism over vengeance: Leon does not continue slaughtering for its own sake; once the larger objective is clear, he withdraws and leaves the remaining task to others.

Character Interactions

  • Leon taunts the Beyonders for relying on repetitive energy-beam attacks, provoking them into using their full strength.

  • After Leon departs, the Beyond-Realm experiences another massive energy fluctuation. Doom’s group from Comic Earth-616 defeats the remaining Beyonders by detonating numerous Molecule Men and creates the Comic Multiverse’s Battleworld.
  • The Comic Multiverse is expected to restart from Battleworld, while the Cinematic Universe has already completed its own reboot. The restored Movie Multiverse now contains altered versions of familiar characters, including new origins for Iron Man and Captain America and the addition of Mutants.
  • Leon observes the unfamiliar MCU from the Boundary Sea and is visited by God Loki. Loki explains that he learned to create M-Bodies from the Abstract Concept Entities, allowing him to escape his former existence and continue visiting Leon.
  • Leon hints that, without his intervention, Loki and Sylvie might have been permanently separated. Loki reflects sadly on how the reboot erased the familiar Frigga and Thor, leaving his memories of the old MCU as precious remnants of his former life.
  • Loki leaves to reunite with Sylvie and explore different universes.
  • Leon then visits the Abstract Concept Entities, who enthusiastically praise the world he created. Death is especially fascinated by the Uchiha clan and considers manipulating Madara’s future to make him more entertaining.
  • Leon rebukes the entities for interfering unnecessarily in the universe and reminds them that their responsibility is to maintain the concepts they represent.
  • To prevent them from becoming restless, Leon permits them to control territories in the Upper Realm and beyond. This decision begins an era of “grand chaos” in the Upper Realm.
  • Leon leaves the Divine Dimension with Dark Strange, Diana, and the others, warning them to avoid spending too much time with the Abstract Concept Entities lest they become “more abstract.”

Character Developments

  • Leon: Continues acting as a powerful overseer and creator, balancing amusement with responsibility. He protects the natural order by disciplining the Abstract Entities, while also giving them controlled freedom to prevent greater disruption.
  • God Loki: Demonstrates a more mature and reflective side. Although he jokes with Leon, he is deeply affected by the rebooted MCU and the loss of the people and history he once knew. His relationship with Sylvie and his memories have become especially important to him.
  • Death: Reveals a mischievous, voyeuristic interest in dramatic character development, particularly Madara’s manipulation and suffering. Her behavior shows how detached the Abstract Entities have become from ordinary moral concerns.
  • Abstract Concept Entities: Behave less like impartial cosmic forces and more like bored spectators seeking entertainment. They eagerly praise Leon and want to interfere with the universes.
  • Galacta and the newer gods: Show greater discomfort and uncertainty about the older entities’ intrusive behavior, though some are initially persuaded by Eternity’s self-important justifications.

Significant Themes

  • Rebirth and altered identity: The rebooted universes preserve broad structures while replacing familiar origins, emphasizing how much identity depends on memory and history.
  • Memory and loss: Loki’s grief over the vanished Thor and Frigga highlights the emotional cost of cosmic resets. His old experiences remain meaningful despite no longer existing in the current reality.
  • Power and responsibility: Leon distinguishes between maintaining universal concepts and meddling in events for entertainment, stressing that immense power should have limits.
  • Cosmic boredom and entertainment: The Abstract Entities treat mortal lives and conflicts as stories to watch or manipulate, creating a satirical contrast between their lofty titles and childish behavior.
  • Order versus freedom: Leon resolves the entities’ restlessness by granting them controlled domains, preserving the ordinary universes while allowing experimentation in higher realms.
  • Humor and self-awareness: The chapter uses jokes about Loki’s divine throne, Leon’s popularity, and the entities’ “abstract” behavior to undercut their grand cosmic status.

Character Interactions

  • Leon and God Loki: Trade sarcastic jokes about Loki’s throne and responsibilities, while also sharing a sincere discussion about Loki’s altered future and lost relationships.
  • Loki and Sylvie: Loki leaves Leon to retrieve Sylvie, reinforcing their continuing partnership after the MCU’s transformation.
  • Leon and the Abstract Entities: The entities flatter Leon and celebrate his creations, but he reprimands them for irresponsible interference and ultimately imposes a compromise.
  • Death and Eternity: Death proposes manipulating Madara’s fate, and Eternity enthusiastically encourages her, revealing their shared appetite for cosmic drama.
  • Leon and Death/Eternity: Leon rejects their excuses, banishes Eternity temporarily, and establishes rules for their future activities.
  • Leon and Diana/the newer gods: Leon advises them to avoid the Abstract Entities’ influence, joking that prolonged exposure will make them “abstract” as well.

Ch. 640Super God Tournament

Chapter Summary: Super God Tournament

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Multiverse launches the Super God Tournament, bringing together fighters from countless worlds. The competition promises the champion a single wish granted by the supreme gods Eternity or Death.
  • Public attention focuses on major figures such as Superman, who becomes the tournament’s spokesperson and holds cultivation lectures, while Tony Stark is portrayed in the media as a “fallen genius.”
  • Tony, relaxing in his mansion through virtual reality, discovers that the media outlet insulting him is owned by Stark Industries. He orders JARVIS to double the employees’ salaries while making them work longer hours and study his accomplishments.
  • Tony initially considers the tournament beneath him, believing that using his Celestials Armor or Eternity Armor would make victory effortless. JARVIS reminds him that he had promised never to use those “corpse-looting” armors again.
  • When Tony learns that fighters from the merged universes—including the Three-Body Universe and its rule-based weapons—might genuinely challenge him, his competitive pride is awakened. He registers for the tournament, determined to demonstrate the value of a “true genius.”
  • The tournament uses a massive elimination structure:
    • Each Upper Realm selects ten representatives.
    • These contestants compete in regional and higher-level eliminations.
    • Ten Above the Upper Realms are ultimately chosen, producing one hundred finalists.
  • The finals take place in a specially created dimension and are hosted by the supreme gods. The arena is a compressed space that prevents battle damage from affecting spectators.
  • The finals begin with one-on-one elimination matches. Sentry narrowly defeats Adam in the opening bout.
  • During the thirty-seventh match, Tony makes his entrance, dramatically presenting himself to the audience in sunglasses and an immaculate suit. Rather than receiving admiration, he is met with widespread boos, including from his own acquaintances.

Character Developments

  • Tony Stark remains arrogant, theatrical, and obsessed with his reputation, but his decision to enter the tournament reveals his competitive nature and desire to prove himself. He also appears confident that he can dominate the competition, though JARVIS suggests the wider Multiverse may contain genuine threats.
  • JARVIS continues to act as Tony’s calm, logical adviser. He manages Tony’s business decisions, explains the tournament’s structure, and subtly challenges Tony’s self-importance.
  • Morgan Stark is portrayed as an innocent, curious teenager. She is more interested in observing the powerful audience and learning about the tournament’s technology than in the competition itself.
  • Pepper and JARVIS have become abstract conceptual entities, while Morgan and Tony remain ordinary humans within the family, emphasizing the unusual gap between their statuses.
  • Sentry establishes himself as a serious competitor by narrowly overcoming Adam.
  • Superman is positioned as an influential public figure through his role as spokesperson and lecturer, though he does not directly participate in the events shown.

Significant Themes

  • Pride and reputation: Tony’s motivation is less the prize than disproving the label of “fallen genius” and proving his superiority.
  • Expansion and changing eras: The tournament represents the opening of a new Multiverse, where old champions can no longer assume they are unrivaled.
  • Power versus restraint: Tony possesses overwhelming armor-based abilities but has sworn not to use certain weapons, creating a tension between fair competition and effortless domination.
  • Scale and spectacle: The tournament spans countless universes, attracts unimaginable audiences, and is managed through advanced virtual and cosmic technology.
  • Comedy amid cosmic grandeur: Despite the gods, abstract entities, and multiversal stakes, the chapter undercuts the spectacle with Tony’s vanity, the audience’s boos, and Happy’s suggestion of throwing a cheeseburger at him.

Character Interactions

  • Tony and JARVIS exchange sarcastic remarks about the insulting media coverage and the tournament. JARVIS repeatedly grounds Tony’s exaggerated self-image with practical observations.
  • Morgan speaks with JARVIS about the tournament venue and the enormous virtual audience, jokingly wondering whether the server must be as large as a star. JARVIS reveals that he himself functions as the server.
  • Morgan greets familiar figures in the audience, including Wong, Mordo, Hippolyta, Ada, and Jill, showing her familiarity with the powerful beings attending the finals.
  • Rhodey and Happy mock Tony from the audience. Rhodey suggests throwing food to support or heckle him, while Happy offers a cheeseburger because Tony likes them.
  • The chapter ends as Tony begins his match entrance, setting up his confrontation with an as-yet-unidentified opponent and highlighting the contrast between his self-important presentation and the audience’s hostile reaction.
