Kaisa the Old Bitch Must Die: "@Heavenly Dao, since you're new, this queen will explain how things work here."
"This thing called the Transcendent-Dimensional Chat Group... uh, I don't know what the hell it actually is either. Anyway, everyone here comes from different worlds and different planes."
"The group travel function hasn't been unlocked yet, so we can't travel to other members' planes."
"Did you understand what this queen just said? @Heavenly Dao."
Maoshan Taoist: "Who knows when the Group World-Travel Function will unlock? Didn't Iron Man say before that as soon as the Group World-Travel Function does, he'll head straight to the Dragon Ball world and challenge Frieza to a duel?"
Snack-Loving Tushan Susu: "Hmm, why do you have to fight to the death? Why?"
Be My Son: "Because Frieza is too damn arrogant. Even if you really are the emperor of the universe, you can't go around offending people like that!"
Whitebeard and the others were veterans who had been in the group for three months, and they were fairly familiar with the first batch of members.
At present, the group's acknowledged strongest members were Frieza from the Dragon Ball world, Thanos and Ronan the Accuser from the Marvel Omniverse, and Steppenwolf from the DC Omniverse!
Moon Worshipper from the Chinese Paladin I plane and Ying Zheng from the Qin Dynasty plane belonged to worlds of immortals and martial heroes, but the combat power they had displayed was still nowhere near surface-wiping level.
As for Frieza and the others, their combat power spoke for itself. Even calling it world-destroying would be a pathetic understatement.
In Frieza's Dragon Ball world, even in the early stages, people could casually blow up planets and throw them around like bombs. Later on, they could destroy universes just as easily.
Thus, Frieza was outrageously arrogant in the group. At the slightest provocation, he would say that once the Group World-Travel Function unlocked, he would head over and destroy the world of anyone who pissed him off.
Naturally, this sparked intense resentment. Whenever Frieza appeared in the group, a flame war was sure to follow.
Iron Man, Stark, didn't believe Frieza's claims. Convinced he was talking bullshit, he challenged Frieza to a fight outright!
Frieza said he was already used to destroying things in his own universe and wanted to try destroying other universes.
Even Thanos, usually composed and possessing the bearing of a ruthless overlord, was deeply displeased with Frieza.
A ruthless man of few words, he declared that he would one day bring the Infinity Gauntlet to the Dragon Ball world, scatter Frieza's ashes first, and then snap his fingers a few good times.
Steppenwolf, on the other hand, acted as though he had found a kindred spirit. He and Frieza were thick as thieves, both wildly arrogant and making enemies everywhere in the group.
Ronan the Accuser had also been in the group for three months. He rarely chatted and hadn't gotten into any fights with Frieza.
Little Medical Fairy from Battle Through the Heavens was devoted to medicine and saving lives, so she rarely chatted either.
When Morgana from the Super God plane saw that the newcomer hadn't even acknowledged her, she immediately lost her temper and tagged him: "@Heavenly Dao, newbie, why aren't you saying anything? Have you been mesmerized by this queen's charm?"
Lu Chen's only response was a lone "6."
That narcissistic?
Morgana, it really could only be you!
Remembering that he still wanted to explore the outside world, Lu Chen casually sent a message.
"I'm in the Ming Realm. Just became its Heavenly Dao. Going out for a stroll now. Logging off."
Lu Chen closed the chat group and dismissed the Emperor Armor he was wearing, revealing his human form.
His human form looked exactly as he had in his previous life.
There was only one way to describe him.
Handsome as fuck!
With a thought, Lu Chen left the Ming Realm.
"Hmm?"
The moment he stepped out of the Ming Realm, Lu Chen sensed that something was wrong.
He felt a faint sense of pressure.
But it wasn't pressure from someone's strength.
"No, this isn't the Armor Universe."
Lu Chen's gaze sharpened slightly.
He sensed that the universe he was in was unimaginably vast and contained multiple worlds. The Ming Realm was merely one of them.
However, the Ming Realm was far stronger than the other worlds, placing it in the top tier of this enormous universe.
Lu Chen gazed into the desolate depths of space ahead, and mysterious golden symbols began flickering in his eyes.
Soon, he discovered something.
In a universe an unknown number of light-years away, an entire continent was floating in space!
Palaces stood in rows, and divine light shone brilliantly.
"This continent... looks a little familiar. Let's take a look."
Lu Chen's divine sense locked onto the continent floating countless light-years away. His figure flickered, ignoring the distance through space, and he appeared directly above it.
An immeasurably vast golden magic array enveloped the continent's outermost perimeter. Divine light flowed through it, radiating danger.
At the sight of the golden magic array, Lu Chen finally confirmed his suspicion.
"This is... the Marvel Universe!"
That's right!
This wasn't the Light Universe!
It was the renowned Marvel Omniverse!
"Then this universe is the Nine Realms, and that floating continent in front of me is Asgard?"
To be honest,
Lu Chen really was a little bewildered.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how the Ming Realm could be connected to the Marvel Universe. Those two shouldn't have had a damn thing to do with each other!
There was one unusual detail, though.
Although the Ming Realm existed within the Marvel Omniverse, it was a completely independent universe, unaffected by any timeline in the Marvel Universe.
In other words, if Above All, OAA, and the One-Below-All, OBA, were resurrected now and wanted to erase Lu Chen, they couldn't erase him at the most fundamental level.
Neither the past, present, future, nor the countless, infinite parallel universes could erase him.
That was because the Ming Realm existed independently of the Marvel Universe. It merely "lived" inside it.
It could be expelled, but not erased.
That was the current relationship between the Ming Realm and the Marvel Universe.
"Fine, I'll accept this damn author's setting."
Lu Chen shook his head with an amused chuckle.
Then he looked toward the Divine Realm of Asgard before him.
The Lord of the Nine Realms, the Norse God King Odin, was in there!
Odin was at his peak during this era, a truly iron-fisted monarch, not the loving old father he would become later.
At this point, however, Odin spent every day dreaming of conquering the entire universe. Having yet to take a beating from reality, he was full of swagger.
His daughter Hela was also a true executioner. Already bloodthirsty by nature, she had inherited the Divine Core of death and bore the title Goddess of Death.
Countless people-and gods-had died at the hands of this father and daughter.
"Odin in this era..."
Lu Chen's eyes flickered.
He felt a faint urge to test himself against All-Father Odin.
Once he had the idea, he had to act on it!
Lu Chen took a step forward.
"Bzzzt!"
Suddenly, the golden magic array outside Asgard erupted with intense divine light, desperately trying to keep Lu Chen from entering.
But such resistance was insignificant to Lu Chen. He used only an extremely weak trace of the power of the origin of fire to shatter it, then stepped inside.
