The moment the Cancerverse was fully formed, Brad, who had just vanished completely, suddenly reappeared and reached out to seize a spacetime communicator suspended between the real and the unreal.
Brad had always suspected that the so-called "administrator" was likely someone who existed throughout most of the Multiverse. Much as Brad's Main Camp stationed a Brad clone in every Parallel Universe under its control to govern the countless Parallel Universes of the Home Universe, this administrator might have done something similar.
Now his suspicion had been confirmed. The coin-sized spacetime communicator had flown out of Mister Fantastic-Reed Richards-who had been completely infected by an Elder God.
"Administrator, I've caught you."
The Mister Fantastic of this universe had been thoroughly corrupted by an Elder God, rendering the communicator's identity verification useless. Brad easily cracked its concealment mechanism, then addressed the administrator behind it.
"Have you? Quite an inventive idea, corrupting an entire universe just to confirm my identity."
A gentle voice came from the communicator. Brad's Transdimensional Computation immediately extracted a wealth of data from that voice, then projected an image of its true owner into his mind.
A tall, thin figure wearing a strangely shaped gray helmet of advanced technology: the "Creator," Mister Fantastic of the Ultimate Universe, Reed Richards.
"Congratulations, Brad. We've reassessed your Threat Level. As of today, you've been promoted to our second-highest surveillance priority."
The Creator's entire head, from the neck up, was encased in his helmet, leaving his voice somewhat muffled.
"We? So you..."
"..."
Brad gazed into the void as though looking the Creator directly in the eye.
Then another Mister Fantastic, this one without a helmet, appeared in Brad's view.
Soft footsteps followed, and another figure appeared: a bald, heavily bearded man in robes, still bearing Reed Richards's face, with an Infinity Gauntlet
