Chapter 462 / Chapter 463
With Darkseid's defeat, countless Parademons on the Darkseid's Planet suddenly turned into mindless flies. If their previous attacks were reckless and without any strategy, they had now even lost the ability to attack altogether.
This had already begun to cause some depression in these Parademons before Su Chen brought Darkseid to the planet, but it was only when Su Chen actually appeared on this Parademons with Darkseid that they felt the most genuine panic from the bottom of their hearts.
They feed on fear; fear is merely their food. But what happens if this fear emanates from within them, from the inside out?
This scene is simply unimaginable.
Not only were they unable to continue their attack on the Utopia Alliance's Legion, but they were also fighting amongst themselves, with countless Parademons tearing each other apart, their limbs and torsos scattered all over the ground.
The entire Darkseid Empire collapsed due to Darkseid's defeat.
In this situation, the Utopia Alliance's tactics were no longer focused on full-scale defense. They had now started to expand outwards in small teams, preparing to gradually sweep away every corner of the planet.
But at that moment, they were suddenly surprised to find that it had gotten dark.
Although there is no Sun outside Darkseid's Planet, there are still stars that emit a stable light source. Moreover, the Parademons on this planet do not need to rest, so there is more than one star outside their planet. This ensures that the entire planet is always in daylight and has no night.
But even so, a planet that would never experience night suddenly went dark.
"Everyone, don't panic... put away your weapons and avoid accidentally shooting your teammates nearby."
"All squads... reassemble... and report immediately any missing personnel."
After the initial chaos, the newly established Mind Network covering the planet immediately came in handy. The Mind Stone abilities within each squad spread out, trying their best to bring their squads together.
However, due to this sudden darkness, the once intact Mind Network has begun to become somewhat intermittent, as if it too is being eroded by the darkness.
However, the Mind Network ultimately completed its mission with remarkable resilience. After a brief period of panic and a short period of statistics, the entire Utopia Alliance did not experience any infighting due to the sudden darkness. However, many people did suffer minor injuries due to the abilities of their companions.
"Is this Darkseid's Planet's last resort?"
As a member of the Utopia Alliance's command team, Emma Frost also observed the pitch-black darkness around her with a solemn expression.
She had every reason to suspect that this might be the planet's last resort.
Sometimes, however, this last resort can be exceptionally ruthless and violent.
"Immediately notify everyone who can gather together to do so, and leave this planet as quickly as possible to return to Earth in Universe 1!"
Then another order was quickly issued, and all the small teams stumbled and gathered together again, following the routes they remembered from when they came.
They will return to Earth 1 in the order they arrived.
Emma Frost believed that this sudden darkness might be a harbinger of the planet's impending destruction, and that if she didn't handle it properly, her Utopia Legion might perish along with the planet.
Although the darkness blocked everyone's vision, the sound of the Boom Tube still rang in everyone's ears as expected, which relieved everyone. However, after the sound of the Boom Tube ended, a new round of doubts seemed to grow even stronger.
"Did we really leave that planet?"
Why is it still completely dark around us?
The Utopia Alliance Legion members looked around with some confusion. Although they had just experienced that strange centrifugal force during the teleportation, they were still in a dense darkness after the force disappeared.
What's going on here?
"How is this possible? Has darkness begun to spread throughout the earth as well?"
Emma Frost, who had just arrived on Earth 1 and connected with the Mind Network Earth 1, received the most accurate information, though she remained grave-faced.
They did not remain on Darkseid's Planet; they are indeed part of the Mind Network on Earth 1 that connects to it, as has been proven.
However, the sudden darkness that had previously spread was not a harbinger of Darkseid's impending destruction!
When they were suddenly enveloped in darkness on Darkseid's Planet, this same darkness was also unleashed unrestrainedly in Universe 1, and within just a few seconds, it also swallowed up Earth 1!
This is why we are now in a situation where both arriving and departing through teleportation result in complete darkness...
"Everyone, be careful to maintain the connection of the Mind Network!"
Emma Frost issued the command through the Mind Network, and even then, she began to feel a little flustered.
This looks exactly like an enemy has appeared. But what if the darkness released by this enemy could engulf Universe 1, or even Darkseid Darkseid's Planet doesn't belong to Universe 1?
Just how vast is this area covered by darkness?
How terrifying would a being capable of unleashing such darkness be?
Emma Frost could hardly believe it.
Rather, on Earth itself, or more precisely, in a peculiar place within the universe, the Goddess of Death also wore a solemn expression.
"How did this little brat get involved with this guy?"
In the Realm of Death, where the Goddess of Death resides, everything is now shrouded in utter darkness!
Although there was no light before the Realm of Death, they were now plunged into absolute darkness. (The story ends here...)
As one of the Five Cosmic Entities, the Goddess of Death certainly understood what such boundless darkness meant!
But precisely because of this, she became somewhat perplexed.
Chapter 462
If I remember correctly, this little guy was supposed to be going to fight against the overlord of another multiverse.
If they succeed this time, it means that the endless multiverse will officially open its arms to them, and they can slowly wait for the arrival of countless lives. This makes the Goddess of Death feel extremely satisfied.
As for whether Su Chen can defeat those old-school overlords of the multiverse, the Goddess of Death has little doubt about this.
This little guy has given me such a huge surprise, it's even begun to subtly influence my Realm of Death.
But just as the Goddess of Death was pondering this, Goddess of Death expression suddenly changed.
That omnipresent darkness came from a Great Evil Beast that even the Goddess of Death somewhat feared.
This being is not a god, but it is no weaker than a god. In fact, strictly speaking, it is not even a being; it is a concept.
A supreme concept of darkness!
Its definition is darkness and concepts that humans cannot understand at all, and such beings are not something that gods or other beings want to provoke.
He cannot be erased at all. Only by completely destroying these universes, destroying the entire multiverse, could the definition of such a terrifying being be removed!
It was like a persistent, persistent nuisance, something that the Goddess of Death feared and loathed, yet was powerless to do anything about.
But how did Su Chen suddenly provoke such a terrifying individual?!
This puzzled the Goddess of Death, who also knew nothing about the messy affairs between Doomsday and the Great Evil Beast.
However, the Goddess of Death now knows one thing for sure.
"Right now, I just hope that damn Su Chen doesn't bring this trouble into my universe, otherwise, it'll be a real headache..."
The Goddess of Death stood in the darkness. Death, which also belonged to the darkness, slowly surrounded Goddess of Death, making the darkness around her seem more intense and tangible, almost palpable even without the eyes.
Meanwhile, deep within the supermassive black hole, Su Chen had already launched his first attack on the Beast!
Black holes are entities that absorb some light; there is no light inside a black hole.
It is precisely for this reason that this place did not incur the wrath of the Great Evil Beast's split Doomsday.
To be precise, this place was as comfortable as home for Doomsday, which is why Darkseid and Brainiac were able to successfully seal Doomsday inside the supermassive black hole for so long without Doomsday ever reappearing.
If they were in any other place that Doomsday didn't find so pleasant, they simply wouldn't be able to contain Doomsday, which is capable of Infinity death and Infinity evolution!
But just as the Destroyer was comfortably enjoying the feeling of home here, Su Chen, an uninvited guest, rudely barged in and brutally crushed his existence, naturally arousing great resentment from the Doomsday.
What did I do to deserve this?
This resentment, along with its own demise, was transmitted to its original body, that is, to the Great Evil Beast, which caused the Great Evil Beast to rampage.
Darkness has texture.
Few people can clearly explain what absolute darkness feels like, because no matter how much people try to block out their senses, there is still light present in their perception to some extent.
An absolute darkness encompasses not only the darkness seen before one's eyes, but also one's own thoughts, one's own mind, and all other sensations—all of which are that chaotic darkness.
It is almost equivalent to another kind of Void.
In this kind of darkness, darkness is no longer an intangible and invisible entity as people usually understand it; at this moment, darkness has its own substance and texture.
This chaotic darkness could ruthlessly crush everything it contained. Darkseid, which Su Chen had been holding in his hand, was completely shattered into fragments the moment it was enveloped by the darkness.
In this respect, this endless darkness is similar to the previous supermassive black hole, only slightly weaker in power, but its range has suddenly expanded to infinity.
No distance can describe the extent of this darkness's spread; it spans multiple universes and continues to invade other universes at an astonishing speed!
The only Power of Creation that Su Chen currently possesses, a mixture of the seven Emotional Spectrum of transformation, is enough to barely inflict some damage on this darkness!
However, after the white Power of Creation in Su Chen's hand transformed into a long sword and fiercely cleaved through the darkness in front of him, the darkness seemed to have been unharmed and healed itself again.
A basin of water can extinguish a fire, but a single drop of water can never extinguish a raging inferno.
The Power of Creation that Su Chen possessed seemed extremely insignificant in the face of this vast darkness.
Moreover, along with Su Chen's attack, the boundless darkness and the Great Evil Beast hidden within it finally made a move.
"You can't hurt me in the slightest..."
In the darkness, a rough (Zhao) voice rang out again.
"And if you cannot defeat me, then in this darkness you are destined to become a part of me, enslaved by me!"
Immediately following this darkness, it seemed to possess an even greater power, once again fiercely squeezing Su Chen's living space!
Originally, the space maintained by Su Chen's Power of Creation was only a few square meters in size, but now it has been squeezed to the size of Su Chen's body and can hardly expand even a little bit!
Even more terrifying was that, as the darkness suddenly intensified, the seven Supreme Rings in Su Chen's hand did not increase in intensity accordingly; instead, they began to dim little by little.
The energy within the rings is ultimately finite. Although they can be combined to create the Power of Creation, the consumption of the Power of Creation even exceeds daily consumption.
The ring's energy is about to run out!
Chapter 463
Faced with this situation, Su Chen frowned, but still did not show any sign of worry.
Su Chen's mind was also racing, considering what to do next.
"Boundless darkness, an overwhelming number..."
"Doomsday can be born in the darkness, possessing almost the same potential for Infinity evolution as me, only its speed is far slower than mine."
"Doomsday, possessing almost no thought, is merely a creature driven purely by instinct..."
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Chen's mind.
These thoughts were incredibly chaotic, but none of them seemed to be helpful in the present situation.
This is an unprecedented and enormous crisis!
"Darkness detected; Darkness resistance increased!"
Just as the white Power of Creation was gradually fading and finally being forced to adhere tightly to Su Chen's skin, that long-lost voice finally appeared in Su Chen's mind!
Faced with the oppressive darkness, Su Chen's body finally began to react instinctively, little by little.
But at that moment, a sudden thought flashed through Su Chen's mind, and he realized something unusual!
"No, developing resistance to darkness at this time would actually be a mistake!"
Su Chen's mind raced, and finally he came up with a bold and crazy idea.
The system notification was about to continue playing in Su Chen's mind, but Su Chen suddenly stopped, and the sound was abruptly cut off!
Human instinct is an almost unalterable force; it is the most fundamental voice emanating from the deepest recesses of the human soul and body.
Trying to change one's instincts is almost impossible, just like Su Chen's physical body, which, when exposed to strong stimuli, will correspondingly increase its resistance.
Now, Su Chen's will is not being used for the creation of the Power of Creation, but rather he is wholeheartedly immersed in his own body, suppressing this instinctive impulse!
Increased Dark Resistance?
However, I don't need increased darkness resistance right now; what I need is absolutely no resistance to darkness!
Su Chen's idea this time was so bizarre and insane it was practically insane!
Su Chen could almost hear the cells within his own body strained and cracking, a result of his will and instincts fighting against the unbearable pressure.
