Chapter 255

Su Chen looked at the Goddess of Death and spoke slowly but with unwavering determination.

"Okay, okay, you've beaten me on this."

Hearing this, the Goddess of Death spoke with a hint of helplessness.

Compared to when Su Chen said those things before, and the Goddess of Death simply laughed it off, the Goddess of Death now seems to have more reservations.

After all, in Universe 1, Su Chen was already able to unleash a white light in his hands that was completely different from death itself—a power that could truly affect the existence of the Realm of Death.

At times, Su Chen has truly reached a level comparable to the Goddess of Death, although this position is unlikely to last long. At least for now, Su Chen has earned that status.

"Now that we've reached a consensus on this matter, let's discuss what kind of compensation you'll offer."

Hearing the somewhat resigned promise from the Goddess of Death, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction and clapped his hands in approval, mimicking the way the Goddess of Death had done at the beginning.

This scene was incredibly infuriating to the Goddess of Death...

The Goddess of Death took a deep breath, forcibly calming this familiar feeling of anger.

"I'm sure you'll be very interested in this compensation, but before that, I think there's another guy you might need to get to know..."

Chapter 386

"Of course, before introducing that guy, first of all, congratulations! You've eliminated the Celestials in your home universe, which means that in this universe, no one will be your enemy anymore. Even though you haven't publicly declared that you control a universe, you are effectively the uncrowned king of this universe."

Just as they were about to begin the previous topic, the Goddess of Death suddenly changed her tone and brought up another matter.

"I have to admit, even I find the Celestials a real headache. After all, they don't bear any trace of death, and they can never belong to the realm of death. They are a tiny part of the universe, so we are like two parallel lines that can never intersect, and naturally, there's nothing we can do about them."

At this point, the Goddess of Death seemed somewhat regretful.

Not only are the Celestials, the most basic building blocks of the universe, all of them exist like parallel lines, and they cannot interfere with each other.

It is precisely for this reason that they can coexist in this universe. If these parallel lines were to intersect one day, it would inevitably be a time when the universe goes awry.

At that point, the existence and destruction of the universe would be almost indistinguishable; at least, if this happened to a particular universe again, it could no longer be considered a universe.

If it weren't for this reason, the Goddess of Death would also want to unleash her army of the dead and launch an attack on the world of the living.

That was the backlash of an entire nation, something Hela's Legion of the Dead could not compare to.

"But I forgot, I didn't expect you to actually seize their existence, find a way to replace them, and ultimately banish them from this universe."

At this point, even the Goddess of Death herself was somewhat astonished.

With the possession of gems and the seven Emotional Spectrum, such methods might not be surprising.

But what no one can compare to is Su Chen's wildly imaginative ideas. No one thought of or dared to take apart some parts of the universe and replace them with new ones.

No one can guarantee what changes will occur to the entire universe after these parts are replaced, since no one has ever done anything like this before.

Su Chen also took great risks when he did it, but these great risks also brought great rewards.

Su Chen succeeded, which means that the entire local universe has been completely imprinted with Su Chen's mark.

Just as the Goddess of Death said, Su Chen is now the uncrowned king of the native universe, and there is no one else in the native universe who can rival Su Chen.

The entire Celestials has been wiped out; who dares to challenge Su Chen now?

"Judging from your current plans and actions in another universe, it seems that now that you have dominated your home universe, you are starting to try to seize a second universe."

Although the Goddess of Death's head is still a bald skull, one can still sense a hint of a smile from Goddess of Death.

The faster Su Chen's plan proceeds, the more advantageous it will be for the Goddess of Death. In fact, even if Su Chen doesn't take the initiative to attack, simply letting these foolish guys come and offend her will already bring the Goddess of Death enough surprises.

"This matter is like flowing water; it's inevitable that it will develop to whatever stage it reaches. Those fools have no way to stop the iron hooves of the entire Utopia Alliance."

Hearing the Goddess of Death's praise, Su Chen shook his head, somewhat unimpressed.

Neither the Seven Lantern Corps nor the former Guardians behind the Legion posed a significant threat to Su Chen.

If they played any role, it was simply to let Su Chen have a good, satisfying time.

For Su Chen, such opportunities are rare. However, it's a pity that although Su Chen a great time, this event did not actually threaten his existence. Compared with the enemies Su Chen had fought against before, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied.

Seven Legion came, and seven Legion were defeated.

The Black Lantern Corps came, Black Lantern Corps disappeared.

The Guardians hadn't even appeared before Guardians were killed.

Even the Goddess of Death, who had witnessed Su Chen's past glory, was still shocked by such speed.

Throughout the long course of time, the Goddess of Death has witnessed numerous cosmic upheavals, often measured in decades, centuries, or even millennia.

The preparations required to alter a universe are far too numerous, and the capabilities to be achieved are far too complex. For those who once sought to change the universe, these things are not things that can be accomplished overnight.

But what about now?

It hasn't even been a year yet; to be precise, it's less than half a year, maybe just a few months. This period can even be measured in hours.

The difference between fighting for hundreds of hours and fighting for hundreds of years is laughable.

This gave the Goddess of Death a strange feeling: was Su Chen simply too powerful, or was the opposing universe too weak?

Knowing that Su Chen had defeated the Black Lantern Corps, that slightly dim figure appeared before the Goddess of Death, relinquishing the power of death belonging to another world.

It was at that time that the Goddess of Death inadvertently learned the full picture of another universe.

"If that's what you think, you're sorely mistaken. In what you call Universe 1, the entire universe contains far more than you imagine."

The Goddess of Death lightly shook her head, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

"To be precise, it's about things related to Universe 1, far more than you can imagine!"

The Goddess of Death spoke calmly as before, but this time it was Su Chen's turn to frown.

"Those Guardians may have been useless, but they did manage to take some precautions beforehand, stopping a group of ill-intentioned people outside the defensive line. Now that those Guardians have disappeared, I think those ill-intentioned people are probably starting to stir..."

The Goddess of Death continued speaking slowly.

"And this group of ill-intentioned individuals are probably the biggest obstacle to your conquest of this universe, and perhaps not just this one..."

Chapter 387

"It seems you already know a bit about this group."

Seeing the serious-looking Goddess of Death, Su Chen's furrowed brows did not relax, but Su Chen's expression did not change drastically. Instead, he continued to look at the Goddess of Death in front of him with a cold expression.

"You should thank me for this. All the information I have comes from Black Lantern Energy, and only I can obtain this information from Black Lantern Energy."

At this point, the Goddess of Death couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness on her face.

The story goes back to before Su Chen arrived in the Knowhere.

The Goddess of Death stood before the one who called himself the Anti-Monitor, arrogantly declaring that she was the master of death.

"It seems I'm not the only one eyeing this entire universe..."

After hearing the Goddess of Death's arrogant announcement, this guy showed a knowing look on his face, seemingly becoming somewhat helpless.

"What did you say?"

This time, it was Goddess of Death's turn to look somewhat taken aback.

The words spoken by this self-proclaimed Anti-Monitor weren't particularly difficult to understand, but their content was far too intriguing.

"Do you think I'm some kind of original being from another universe? If I were truly an original being, how could I possibly be sealed within this kind of energy?"

The still somewhat ethereal figure before him gave a cold smile, then spoke with a hint of arrogance.

"It's just a pity. I originally thought that once I devoured this universe, this part of me could return to my main body. Now it seems I've gone from one danger to another... Indeed, destroying a universe like this comes at a price."

Then, the illusory figure shook its head with some regret.

Looking at this clone of someone who seemed to have revealed a shocking secret, the Goddess of Death returned to her normal state after a short period of experience.

However, just as the Goddess of Death of Goddess of Death was about to speak, she couldn't help but shake her head, expressing her own feelings.

"I originally thought that perhaps only I and Su Chen possessed such ambitions, but now it seems that quite a few others share this view..."

The Goddess of Death continued speaking.

"Ambition? No, in my opinion, your ambitions are far too weak."

But unexpectedly, after the Goddess of Death finished speaking with some emotion, the illusory figure once again sneered and mocked.

"I think your ambitions are nothing more than controlling one universe after another, how can that compare to the real me!"

At this point, the ethereal voice seemed to become transparent, and many realized that after being freed from the Black Lantern Energy, it was even having difficulty maintaining its normal modern functions.

Although he himself did not truly belong to Black Lantern Energy at the beginning, no one knows how long this illusory figure has been fused with Black Lantern Energy under the control of the Nekron.

Perhaps, without realizing it, a figure is gradually emerging, and one is merging with the Black Lantern Energy. This figure is the Black Lantern Energy, and the consciousness of the Black Lantern Energy is itself.

Now, with this power of death now in the hands of the Goddess of Death, it means that the power of death in Universe 1, especially its primordial power, is being branded by the Goddess of Death little by little. This is tantamount to the indirect erasure of the original consciousness.

This is one of the reasons why the Goddess of Death arrogant before. She knew that she could easily swallow up such a weak being, and all Goddess of Death wanted to do was to show off her existence before the consciousness dissipated.

However, no one expected that this consciousness, before it had even dissipated, would already have such a huge impact on the Goddess of Death.

"I'm quite interested. What could be more ambitious than controlling one universe after another?"

Upon hearing the slightly manic words of this illusory figure, the Goddess of Death hesitated for a moment before speaking with a disdainful attitude.

Perhaps this guy has just gone into a mad state and is just talking nonsense.

Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.

But a phantom figure retaliated with an even more dismissive attitude.

What we're going to do is destroy all the universes!

This illusory figure was almost fading away. It slowly stretched out its arms, as if it wanted to completely merge into this Knowhere.

But his tone, in stark contrast to his dissipating form, became increasingly high-spirited.

"As long as all universes are destroyed, my power will only increase further. Even if you are the embodiment of death, so what? Can you understand why I become stronger when these universes are destroyed? You know absolutely nothing about power!"

Just as this mutilated figure uttered such arrogant words, something completely different from death, yet remarkably similar in nature, suddenly emerged from his body!

A similar deathly darkness rapidly spread from beneath his feet, corroding and engulfing this Knowhere.

Even though the ground beneath their feet in the Knowhere was also shrouded in darkness, anyone could sense that one of the two identical darknesses was devouring the other!

"Presumptuous!"

Feeling that the boundary between life and death that she had painstakingly created had been destroyed, the Goddess of Death was instantly enraged.

A surge of intense dark power rushed forth, pushing this different kind of darkness back into the broken body!

However, the figure itself, having released such power, was already exhausted. Before the energy could even touch the mutilated body, it began to dissipate bit by bit.

After all, at the same time, the Goddess of Death had already completed the assimilation of the Black Lantern Energy into its consciousness; how could it possibly have survived?

"This guy... this kind of power..."

Watching the figure disappear, the Goddess of Death had already stood up from her seat, her expression a mixture of emotions.

"It feels somewhat similar to death, yet it's completely different. How did they manage to do that?"

The Goddess of Death murmured to herself...

Chapter 388

"Anti-Monitor, that's a really strange name."

As he listened to the Goddess of Death's narration, Su Chen continued to frown, nodding thoughtfully at the same time.

"A name is just a label; its other functions are the least useful of all the information we have right now. You're already the uncrowned king of the universe, yet you're still letting this kind of garbage information sway your thinking. It's truly pathetic."

As Su Chen continued to ponder the name, the Goddess of Death spoke with a hint of exasperation.

"Spam? Sometimes, a name can help us find something really useful, and even if it's spam, so what? You, who never care about spam, didn't get any other useful information out of it, did you?"

Faced with the Goddess of Death's disappointed disapproval, Su Chen shook his head, unconcerned.
