Multiverse

Xiao Han stared at the golden energy dancing in his palm, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

He slowly raised his hand and began tracing a more complex rune. It was an ancient incantation he had seen deep within the Kamar-Taj library, said to be the key to opening dimensional passages.

"In the name of the ancient gods, open the gate."

He chanted softly. Though his voice echoed soundlessly through the vacuum, it triggered a resonance in the energy.

Golden sparks spun and expanded before him, gradually forming a massive vortex.

Unlike the neat circular portals of Kamar-Taj, the edges of this passage were irregular and flame-like, as if space itself were burning.

Beyond the passage, a dark crimson wasteland slowly came into view.

Twisted mountains resembled the spines of colossal beasts. Strange purple vortices floated in the sky, while the air reeked of sulfur.

This was clearly the Hell Dimension.

"Interesting."

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes. His Super-Sight pierced through the dimensional barrier, revealing scenes farther away.

Countless demons wandered through rivers of lava, while deeper within, several powerful presences lay dormant.

As he observed, a gigantic demonic claw suddenly reached through the passage. It was as large as a truck, its scaled skin dripping with lava.

"Get back." Xiao Han's voice was cold as his eyes flashed red.

Sizzle!

Heat Vision precisely severed the claw. The demon let out a soundless scream, and its severed limb swiftly recoiled back through the dimensional passage.

The demon horde on the other side immediately stirred, yet they all kept their distance warily.

"Looks like Hell creatures aren't stupid either." Xiao Han chuckled and casually closed the passage.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to try opening a passage to another dimension—Doomammu's Dark Dimension.

"Let's see just how powerful this so-called Lord of a Dimension is."

A new incantation formed at his fingertips, and this time, the energy fluctuations were far more violent.

Solar energy clashed with the nature of the Dark Dimension, causing intense energy sparks to erupt the instant the passage opened.

The view of the Dark Dimension gradually became clear: endless void, floating purple crystals, and then—a pair of enormous eyes snapping open.

"Who dares peer into my domain?"

Dormammu's voice exploded directly within Xiao Han's mind, carrying the overwhelming pressure of a dimensional lord.

Xiao Han remained unfazed. "A passing Sun God, stopping by to say hello."

Dormammu's fury poured from the passage as if it had substance. "Insignificant creature! How dare you—"

"Save it."

Xiao Han cut him off. "With a dimensional barrier between us, you can't hurt me. But..."

The corner of his mouth curled upward. "I can leave you with a souvenir."

Before his words had faded, Xiao Han's eyes suddenly blazed to their brightest. Two beams of magically enhanced Heat Vision pierced through the dimensional passage and struck Dormammu's true body directly!

A violent energy surge erupted within the Dark Dimension. Dormammu's roar shook the passage until it began to destabilize. "How dare you—"

"Goodbye."

Xiao Han casually closed the passage, cutting Dormammu's roar off abruptly.

He floated amid the blazing flames of the sun, analyzing the data from this encounter.

The strength of dimensional magic, energy consumption, passage stability—everything was exactly as he had expected.

"Looks like even dimensional lords can't do anything to me across dimensions." Xiao Han nodded in satisfaction.

"If I can open passages to those two dimensions, what about other dimensions?"

He muttered to himself, exploration gleaming in his eyes. "For example, the Heaven Dimension? Or more distant universes?"

He raised his hand, preparing to try opening another spatial gate.

However, just as he was about to release his energy—

[ Ding! Detected that the host is attempting cross-dimensional exploration! ]

The system's notification suddenly rang out, interrupting Xiao Han's movement.

"Hm?"

Xiao Han raised a brow. "What is it, System?"

[ Ding! The host has successfully mastered the ability to independently open dimensional passages and meets the activation requirements for the Mission System! ]

[ Multiverse Mission Module unlocked! ]

Xiao Han froze slightly. "Mission System?"

[ Yes, Host. ]

The system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind. [ Simply recite "Multiverse" silently, and a spatial gate will randomly open to a parallel world. The host may choose to travel there and carry out missions. Upon completion, the host can obtain Growth Points and rewards. ]

Interest flashed through Xiao Han's eyes. "Missions? Rewards? Explain in detail."

[ Through the mission module, the host can choose to accept missions and travel to other universes to complete specific objectives. Upon completing a mission, the host may return to this universe at any time and receive System Shop Growth Points, also known as exchange points. ]

"System Shop?"

The next second, a virtual interface appeared in Xiao Han's vision, displaying a dazzling array of clearly categorized goods:

[ Ding! System Shop preview unlocked! ]

The next second, a virtual light screen unfolded before Xiao Han's eyes. Countless items were displayed by category, dazzling and abundant.

Kryptonian Armor (10,000 points)

Book of Life (500,000 points)

Doomsday Cells (800,000 points)

Anti-Monitor Armor (2,000,000 points)

Cosmic Treadmill (150,000 points)

Mother Box (100,000 points)

Infinity Stones (5,000,000 points each)

Eye of Agamotto (300,000 points)

Spear of Destiny (250,000 points)

Iron Man Nanotech Armor (8,000 points)

Thor's Hammer (20,000 points)

Green Lantern Ring (50,000 points)

Xiao Han quickly browsed the items. He had no interest in Kryptonian Armor; he did not like wearing underwear on the outside.

His Steel Body had already fused with the Book of Life. Only the Doomsday Cells interested him somewhat.

Xiao Han glanced at the prices and raised a brow. "Tsk, that's expensive."

[ Ding! Host's current Growth Points: 0 ]

"Don't you have anything cheaper, System?"

[ The shop has many modules. Please explore them yourself, Host. ]

"Fine, I'll try it first." Xiao Han put away the system interface and raised his hand, gathering golden energy in his palm.

"Then... open one at random!"

He silently recited in his heart: Multiverse.

Buzz!

A spatial gate abruptly unfolded. Unlike the stable circular portals from before, this gate's edges flickered with irregular blue arcs of electricity, as if reality itself had been torn apart.

Xiao Han looked through the spatial gate and saw a familiar city: New York.

Skyscrapers stood in dense rows, traffic flowed endlessly, and sunlight fell upon Stark Tower's glass curtain wall, reflecting a dazzling glow.

"Looks pretty similar to my world?"

[ Ding! Current universe detected—Movie Universe 199999. ]

[ Mission issued: The Shock of the New York Battle. ]

[ Mission Objective: During the Chitauri invasion of New York, resolve the crisis before the Avengers and make everyone feel Superman's power! ]

[ Mission Reward: 5,000 Growth Points, random reward. ]

Golden light flashed in Xiao Han's eyes. "Interesting."

Without hesitation, he stepped through the spatial gate.

The next second, he appeared above New York, looking down upon the city that was about to be engulfed in war.

"Then." Xiao Han's lips curved slightly.

"It's time to show this world what a real Superman is."
