Chapter 336 The Reason for Tony's Madness
As the battle and slaughter intensified, Joey's energy reached an unprecedented level, his bio-field began to radiate intensely outwards, and everything around him began to burn fiercely.
After the incomparably powerful Thanos had his heart ripped out by Joy in an instant, his remaining flesh was also stripped away and burned under such high temperatures, leaving only a two-meter-tall black skeleton in no time.
Indeed, as Joey said, Thanos's use of each Infinity Stone far surpasses that of anyone else in the universe; the six stones shine with a unique brilliance in his hands.
But without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos is nothing more than a slightly stronger alien compared to Superman, who is determined to commit murder.
Namor, the Neptune, gripped his trident tightly.
He turned his head and saw that the Tyrant, the Devourer of Stars, who was on the same team as him, had disappeared.
From the very beginning of the fight, the tyrant sensed a dangerous aura. As Joey's energy surged, he detected a familiar presence in the energy waves, which confirmed his complete certainty.
As a former messenger of Galactus, the tyrant, who had only recently been forced to "resign" from Galactus's service, knew all too well what that faint cosmic energy meant.
Throughout the omnipotent universe, there are countless extraordinary individuals, including some who can defeat even the planet Devourer of Planets, who is blind to everything else and only cares about eating.
When all this happens, Galactus's cosmic energy always intertwines with the other's, very weakly, but enough for Tyrant to sense.
Many people may not realize just how powerful Galatus, a god who has existed since the beginning of creation, really is, but this does not include former Galactus messengers like Tyrant.
The red-cloaked monster in front of them either escaped unscathed from its battle with Galactus, or it simply defeated Galactus himself in direct combat.
Neither of them are things that a small fry like a tyrant can mess with.
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but in the end, only two words came out of the tyrant's mouth: "Run!"
Right now, the Tyrant has taken off and is advancing at breakneck speed; it's almost reached another Earth.
Having witnessed all this, Namo cursed inwardly that a villain can only ever be a villain, forever only capable of doing things that only beasts would do.
If it were the heroes of the Illuminati, they would fight to the last moment to protect their world.
Namor was mentally preparing for his glorious death when he suddenly saw the trident he had been holding tightly in his hand vanish in a flash.
He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if death had already climbed onto his shoulders.
But the expected end did not arrive the next second.
Namor saw that the "sun god" in front of him simply snatched his trident, aimed it at the air for a few seconds, and then threw it into the sky.
The immense power propelled the trident to its maximum speed, causing it to glow red-hot from atmospheric friction, and it traced a beam of light like a red laser with a physical trajectory.
The tyrant, in a panic, felt a chill run down his spine, then down to the back of his head. When he reached out to touch it to check, he realized he couldn't feel his left or right hand.
After cleaving the fleeing tyrant in two from behind, the ray of light drawn by Namor's trident continued unabated, heading straight for another Earth in the sky.
On the other side of the Earth, at midnight, the Trident flew in from the sky, piercing through the noisy Golden Gate Bridge and leaving a perfectly placed hole in the middle where no cars were passing.
The splash created by the trident falling into the sea jolted the driver, who was driving at night, so much so that he slammed on the brakes and came to a stop just five meters away.
This is why Joey needs to aim for more than ten seconds; he needs to accurately calculate the angle and timing of the shot. Although the pursuit caused some property damage, no one was injured.
Then all that's left to deal with is Namor, who's right in front of us.
By this time, Namor was already heartbroken. He had even had his weapon taken away without him noticing, showing that the two sides were not even in the same league from the very beginning.
At this moment, besides waiting to be slaughtered and awaiting the end of himself and his world, there was nothing else he could do.
"Let's get started!"
In Namor's view, this might be retribution for his and the others' killing of "Sun God" and his great company, and for destroying their Earth.
In that situation, there was no other way but to destroy one of the Earths so that both universes could temporarily survive.
Either let the two Earths collide, and we'll all die together.
Since the other members of the Illuminati dared not choose, Namor had to make the decision for them.
Just as Namor and his universe are still alive today, the Illuminati still won that battle.
Together they killed most of the Great Society's superheroes, leaving Apollo, who hadn't died on the spot but was incapacitated, to die.
But now the other party has been found.
But Namor does not regret destroying the Earth on the other side:
"No matter what you think, I just did what I had to do!"
Having learned the full story from Namor's account and Professor X's supplementary information, Joey finally understood why Namor attacked relentlessly as soon as he saw his face.
He originally thought that a dead soul had come to claim his life.
"Is it possible that the multiverse is very large, and you've mistaken someone for someone else?"
The Earth where that "Sun God" resides and the "Great Company" he leads do indeed bear some resemblance to the Justice League. However, having already witnessed the Spider-Verse, Joey wasn't too surprised. Spider-Man piloting EVA and Squadron mechs, and Spider-Ham whose true form is a pig, are far more sinister than a dubious copy of the Justice League.
"Where's the bomb?"
After the calculations, Joey, who had seen the other side of Earth with his super vision, gradually cooled down, and the radiation of his bio-field began to converge to a normal range.
He saw that vibrant Earth and the people living on it.
Comparing this Dead Zone, which has been completely wiped out by Ultron 30k, it's obvious which one should be preserved.
"Furthermore, no one can judge whether your motives are right or wrong; what is truly wrong is the way you achieve your goals."
Wanting to live is not wrong, but the bloodshed and torment along the way are wrong.
Namo, who had only wanted a quick death when facing imminent demise, blushed deeply upon hearing such accusations. After a long silence, he could only lower his head, speechless.
"-you are right."
All of this was Namor's own stupidity. He deliberately colluded with the Dark Order so that they could exercise powers that the Illuminati could not exercise and assume responsibilities that others in the Illuminati dared not assume.
Then he could only watch helplessly as the situation spiraled out of control.
In this group where Thanos exists, Namor has no power to restrain the Black Order.
In countless operations, they could have quietly planted bombs and then silently left, leaving the entire world's inhabitants to die without a trace.
Instead, they chose a more difficult method: slaughtering the vast majority of living beings on Earth to satisfy the demons in their hearts, before finally giving a final verdict on these tragic victims.
If it weren't for this premise, this should have been a friendly meeting where neither side interfered with the other. Joey might have simply met Namor from afar to learn some information about the collision of the multiverses.
But the Dark Order's thirst for killing and bloodshed, and its desire for violence and cruelty, brought them the end they deserved.
As for Namor-Joy, his eyes swept across the area and he spotted the antimatter bomb that had been created not far away.
What an idiot.
Why is it that every time I encounter a player, he's a complete jerk who's being used as a pawn?
That bomb didn't seem like something Namor could have made alone.
Its technical structure is complex enough to undoubtedly represent the hard work of several other members of the Illuminati.
Did the Illuminati create bombs just to store them in warehouses, waiting for Namor to steal them during every collision crisis?
Out of their inner morality, they were unwilling to do these dirty and tiring jobs, but they didn't stop Namor from doing them either.
Is that really the case?
Joey's words surprised Namor, who was always being used as a pawn and never learned his lesson.
"I don't know," Joey shook her head.
This is just his conjecture, and the darkest kind of conjecture at that.
Human nature is so complex that when faced with a survival crisis, no one can clearly distinguish right from wrong.
The Earth overhead was getting closer and closer, and the entire Northern Hemisphere was about to press together. Seeing this, Joey suddenly had a brilliant idea. He flashed and appeared on a solid rock on the opposite side of the Earth, and exerted force with both hands.
He had to go back after a few seconds.
This weight is wrong.
From the perspective of the material world, what appears to be a collision between two Earths is actually just a superficial appearance.
To push away these two Earths that are about to collide with each other using only your hands, the mass of the entire Earth on your shoulders would not be enough.
This is essentially two universes squeezing each other, meaning that at least an absolute force capable of counteracting the entire universe is required.
Judging from the current situation, collecting Infinity Stones might be the right direction.
"We've already tried this method once."
Namor added their cosmic experience:
"During the first collision, we voted for Captain America to put on the gauntlet and push the other Earth away. He did succeed—but at the cost of six Infinity Stones shattering on the spot."
Joey memorized this information.
It's almost time.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Namo closed his eyes.
"No." Joey didn't choose to do it herself.
He pointed to the antimatter bomb in the distance:
"Go and detonate that bomb—if you want to die, then die like a superhero, at least make it worthwhile."
Namor clenched his fists and ran towards the bomb without looking back.
Whether Namor could escape or not after the bomb was detonated, whether he lived or died, was none of Joey's concern.
The important thing is that these two universes can at least linger on for a while longer.
As for Joey himself, he needs to hurry back to Tony's universe.
He suddenly realized why Doctor Doom was so obsessed with destroying so many parallel universes, and why the arrangement of the multiverses became so orderly after Doctor Doom was sealed by the Ancient One.
The collision of the multiverse will still involve them.
The future Tony may have gone mad, but he'll be doing the same things as Namor.
He artificially created a buffer by destroying all parallel universes associated with his universe.
But just how big is this buffer?
Can Joey find a way to stop it all before the buffer expires?
Even Joey himself didn't have the answers to these questions.
