"Boom--!!"
In a higher dimension beyond the concept of a three-dimensional universe, two imposing figures, beyond description, collided violently.
" First Firmament, you're becoming more and more unruly! You actually started a world war!" The gray figure was surrounded by an aura of destruction, and every move he made caused the universe to tremble.
"Ha, Darkseid, you're still so naive!"
"You never even bothered to tell me when you invaded my world before!"
The figure of the First Firmament appeared, and with a casual wave of his hand, he shattered the oncoming Omega Beams.
He is both an invader and Avengers; his actions against the DC Universe are not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a long-planned act of revenge.
The two universes once clashed briefly, but in that instance, Marvel was the one who suffered.
"This time, I'm going to make you pay me back, with interest!!"
The First Firmament, a power emanating from the Creator God, can cause immense destruction even in the DC Universe's home turf.
Not to mention that He is not fighting alone. There are multiple battlefields in the spacetime around Him, where beings from Marvel such Nemesis Marvel, Pilgrim, M'Kraan, Eternity, and Beyonders have appeared.
This is a battlefield that transcends conventional understanding, where time, space, and matter are twisted and rearranged at will, like toys.
Faced with such a formidable invading force, beings from the DC Universe, such Endless, the Monitor Clan, Perpetua, also appeared on this battlefield to contend with Marvel's higher-dimensional beings.
Every collision of every being triggers a chain reaction in countless parallel universes below—time suddenly reverses in one universe, matter is reorganized without warning in another world, and some fragile universes are even Oblivion into nothingness.
In the collision between infinite multiverses, what disappears is no longer just insignificant living beings, but the universes themselves, each with its own unique possibilities.
"Then let's see if you can do it!" Darkseid's true form—the high-dimensional being that cast countless projections throughout the DC Multiverse —roared in fury.
Because of the suppression of the dimensional laws, His dimensional projection was shattered by Xu Xiao. However, it was not that He was weak, but that He was unable to exert His full strength.
At this moment, being the first high-dimensional being to suffer a setback, Darkseid displayed unusual belligerence, actively confronting the First Firmament.
Reaching out, it directly "grabbed" the rule of "destruction" at the conceptual level and hurled it toward the First Firmament.
The First Firmament's vast body, as boundless as the starry sky, swayed slightly, drawing out a law of "creation" from the Void. The two opposing supreme rules collided in mid-air.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an eerie silence.
In the clash of laws, for those who are not qualified, even the desire to observe is a luxury.
Only beings of the same rank as them can witness the power of the clash between the two laws.
The mere collision fundamentally altered the spacetime of the universe affected by its aftershocks.
In the multiple universes below, tens of thousands of lives suddenly and without warning simultaneously experience creation and destruction—one second they are celebrating their new life, and the next they are turned into dust.
The entire universe is constantly repeating a cycle of destruction and rebirth, and billions of living beings are like data that is arbitrarily altered, sometimes deleted and sometimes restored.
"Is that all you've got?" First Firmament roared with deafening laughter. "After all this time, you haven't improved at all?"
"No wonder you can only watch the world evolve, unable to defy the chosen one and guide the world in the direction you desire."
"Likewise," Darkseid sneered. "Aren't you the same? If you had truly improved, you wouldn't have brought only these inferior beings; you would have launched a full-scale invasion with all your might."
"I bet you're still hiding from the OAA, dreaming of wresting control of the multiverse from them, aren't you?"
Two supreme beings, each aware of the other's weakness, attacked each other. Their clash appeared intense, but in reality, they were both fully aware of the other's vulnerability.
At their level, no one can kill anyone else.
This fight was more about saving face, and... fighting for the benefits that could be taken away.
Around them, several other equally imposing figures were clashing:
The Goddess of Death and the DC concept of death are intertwined; the two beings representing "death" devour and separate each other, neither able to overcome the other.
Eternity and Kronos, the DC god of time, battle in the river of time, and each encounter causes the flow of time in certain universes to fluctuate.
Oblivion and the Anti-Monitor were locked in a fierce battle, with the two entities representing "nothingness" constantly reducing parts of each other's existence to "zero"...
This high-dimensional war has been going on for an unknown period of time—here, all the rules of time, space, and fate are toys to be manipulated.
For the supreme beings, this was merely another "friendly exchange" in their long lives.
until--
"Wait!" Darkseid suddenly stopped his attack. The battle had not stopped him from observing the endless space-time, and he had already sensed that something was wrong.
"That pawn you're using this time, that time traveler, is acting strangely!"
The First Firmament also ceased its attack, its dark body shimmering with starlight. It too had sensed the shift in fate. "Oh?"
"That little bug..." Darkseid's voice suddenly turned dangerous, "It seems I underestimated you. He's not a bug, but a chess player himself!"
Darkseid gritted his teeth, and at the same time, almost everyone on both the DC and Marvel sides felt the birth of a power.
That was the birth of a new Daoist philosophy, and it also meant that the world had gained another great being of equal stature to them.
First Firmament was silent for a moment, then burst into earth-shattering laughter. "Hahaha! You're only realizing it now? That cunning fellow seems to have already reaped his spoils of victory!!"
Darkseid's face turned extremely ugly; he realized he had made a mistake.
As a being of a higher dimension, he instantly understood the cause and effect— Xu Xiao was not an invader sent by Marvel at all, but a daring opportunist!
This guy took advantage of the chaos caused by the clash between the two multiverses to steal the primal power of the DC Universe!
"Damn you, you thief, do you think you can get away?!" Darkseid roared in fury, and the entire battlefield trembled under his rage.
"The laws of emotion have been replaced, even life itself..."
"They clearly arranged for death to deal with Him, and even planned to sacrifice that original universe, so why is this happening?"
Behind him, the other DC Supreme Beings looked ashen-faced; they all knew their base had been raided.
First Firmament watched its opponents with schadenfreude. "Looks like your methods have failed. You've been completely outmaneuvered by a little guy who hasn't even broken through to the multiverse yet."
"Shut up!" the Anti-Monitor said coldly. "That thief must pay the price!"
Darkseid calmed down, but the crimson light in his eyes grew even more dangerous. "Interesting... very interesting. A mere three-dimensional being dares to cheat in the game of the supreme being..."
Do you think you can keep taking shortcuts like this forever?
Do you think that by taking this step, you can stand against us?
"Innocent!!!"
Even if you manage to break through this barrier, how will you, a newborn being, face our wrath?
Darkseid waved his hand, and the rules of 'destruction' and 'tyranny' that belonged to Him began to activate. Other DC beings also made their moves in the gaps between their battles.
The power of rules, encompassing almost the entire universe, descended with boundless energy, directly entering the three-dimensional world and completely surrounding the universe where Green Lantern resided.
This time, we're determined to trap them like turtles in a jar.
