Defeated and Fleeing

Wang Bert restored his body and was about to use more methods when green light enveloped him, freezing him in place.

"Blood God, I told you, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

Nemesis walked toward Wang Bert step by step and said arrogantly, "Perhaps in your eyes, the Infinity Stones are not all that powerful, since they have appeared far too many times.

"But that is only because their users were too weak to unleash their true power. In mortal hands, the Power Stone is at most a missile, but in the hands of the Celestial Group, it can destroy an entire planet.

"And in my hands, every Infinity Stone possesses Creator God-level power, because I am their true master."

"I have never underestimated the Infinity Stones. When all Six Infinity Stones are gathered, they are enough to destroy the universe. I have always remembered that."

Wang Bert communicated through mental waves—his body’s time had been stopped, so he could not speak.

"Your previous performance did not suggest that you remembered."

Nemesis smiled. "I will deal with you, then go to the Main Universe and devour your true body. Blood God, this is your destined fate. You are a snack, a snack from another universe."

With that, Nemesis raised a hand glowing with yellow light and slowly struck toward Wang Bert. She greatly enjoyed this moment, after all, Wang Bert’s identity was anything but ordinary.

"Blood God!"

Seeing Wang Bert defeated, Tony and the others’ expressions changed. They rushed forward to save him, but Nemesis ignored them completely because they could not reach this place—Close In Distance, Far Apart In The World.

"Nemesis, I have never underestimated you. You are the one who has always underestimated me."

Wang Bert suddenly laughed. The Time Seal around him shattered abruptly, and he clenched both fists before smashing them viciously toward Nemesis’s head.

Between Wang Bert’s fists lay a vast and boundless Mind Sea. Countless lives cheered for Wang Bert, lending him their strength to shatter Nemesis’s head.

"The Mind Sea? You have actually completely mastered the Mind Sea? How is that possible?"

Nemesis’s expression changed slightly. She hurriedly used the Reality Stone to make herself intangible. At that moment, light shone from Wang Bert’s eyes as he shouted, "You are real. You are not a phantom."

As Wang Bert spoke, Nemesis’s body solidified again. This was the highest application of the Mind Concept—I decide what the world is, and the world becomes that way.

"Blood God, don’t even think about it."

The light of all Six Infinity Stones flared simultaneously on Nemesis’s body. Her body began to vanish again, while the Mind Sea shook violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Nemesis was not so easily dealt with.

Wang Bert’s expression remained unchanged. With a thought, a human head rose from the Mind Sea—a head belonging to Death. Then, the head opened its mouth and let out a fatal scream. The Death Mark in Nemesis’s body suddenly erupted, and Nemesis rapidly aged.

Death Concept: Death Scream! This was why Wang Bert had deliberately left behind Death’s head earlier. In fact, Death was also more than willing to deal with Nemesis, because Nemesis was the enemy of all universes.

Nemesis’s aged body solidified again. Before she could do anything else, Wang Bert’s fists slammed viciously into her head, causing it to burst like a watermelon.

Nemesis was not dead. With a thought, Old Tony’s soul flew out of her body. Wang Bert’s gaze did not change, and his fists continued to strike down, completely unconcerned with whether Old Tony lived or died.

Nemesis cursed inwardly and blew her entire body apart. The Six Infinity Stones and Materialism Power fled into the distance, while Wang Bert opened his hand and collected Old Tony’s soul into his sleeve.

At that moment, the Six Infinity Stones and Materialism Power reassembled Nemesis’s body in the distance. She looked at Wang Bert warily and said, "Blood God, I truly underestimated you. You are far more powerful and far more scheming than I imagined."

"Lots of people have said that. Nothing unusual about it."

Wang Bert clasped his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently. Tony could not help rolling his eyes. This guy was showing off again.

Why does a dignified Creator God love showing off so much? So shallow.

Tony snorted inwardly while secretly recording Wang Bert’s pose so he could imitate it properly later.

Nemesis was a little speechless. At a time like this, should he not have been a little modest? She said, "Blood God, I lost this round. But do not think this is the end. In the near future, I will appear before you at full strength. At that time, neither you nor your true body will be able to stop me."

With that, Nemesis vanished directly. Wang Bert did not pursue her, because Invincible King had to maintain the minds of Earth’s people and could not keep fighting.

After confirming that Nemesis had truly left, Wang Bert turned to the others and asked, "The battle is over. We won a great victory. Why are you not cheering?"

"Because we were thinking about how to cheer. Someone told me that shouting ‘Long live the Blood God’ would be cursing you."

Steve laughed. Wang Bert said calmly, "Don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you, because you definitely won’t live to be ten thousand."

"Pfft."

Everyone gave him the middle finger in unison. Wang Bert did not care and said, "Thanos has fallen, the Celestial Group has retreated, and Old Tony is dead. Although Nemesis has appeared, there is no doubt that we won this war."

"Of course, but Bert, I’m worried Nemesis will team up with Kang the Conqueror."

Tony said, "Neither of those two is easy to deal with."

Wang Bert said, "Don’t worry. It’s not a big problem. If I can defeat Nemesis once, I can defeat her a second time."

Hearing Wang Bert’s words, everyone immediately relaxed. The Blood God’s promises had always been reliable. He was the Blood God, after all.

Spider-Man stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Mr. Wang, is Mr. Stark really dead?"

"In the conventional sense, yes, he is dead. But reviving him will not be difficult."

Wang Bert summoned Old Tony’s soul. Because of his death, he was currently unconscious. Wang Bert tapped him between the brows, and he suddenly woke up.

Old Tony was a little dazed at first, but he quickly understood what had happened. He asked bitterly, "I’m dead?"

"Yes. Nemesis blew up your body to escape. The kind where not even ashes remain."

Wang Bert nodded, then said, "Tony Stark, we have already discussed how you will be dealt with. Do you have anything else to say?

"If not, I will put you into a coma. The next time you awaken, it will be in the Main Universe."

"Although Nemesis deceived me, what I did before was not wrong. To end all this, we must end the era of Super Heroes…"

Old Tony shouted unwillingly, but Wang Bert brushed a hand across his face, putting him back to sleep.

Wang Bert said with a smile, "Mr. Tony Stark is very satisfied with my handling of him and has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to me. That settles the matter."

"You can tell he’s very satisfied."

Everyone looked at Old Tony and nodded. For him, this was the best possible outcome—if not for his past achievements, considering everything he had done, they would have killed him long ago.

There was nothing wrong with doing good deeds, but what Old Tony had done was not good at all.

"Tony, prepare to take over his assets. I will alter the memories of the entire world and restore everything to normal."

Wang Bert put away Old Tony’s soul and said, "Tony Stark never became president, and Captain, you and the others never became fugitives."

Everyone was greatly surprised. "You can even do that?"

"Of course. I could even make everyone in the world fall in love with trees."

Wang Bert shrugged and said, "Thanos and the strongest Eternals have fallen. Tony, your first task is to gather enough food and restore Earth to its former state. Any problems?"

"No problem. It’s finally time for me to shine. I love this universe so much. From now on, I’ll stay in this universe and become a true savior."

Tony’s eyes gleamed. Returning to Earth with inexhaustible food at a time like this, if he was not the Most Handsome Guy, who was?

Everyone laughed. Tony was as smug as ever.

No one objected to Tony leading the Avengers. On one hand, Iron Man had always been one of the Avengers’ leaders. On the other, Tony had crossed mountains and rivers from another universe to save them, so they had to give him some face.

Strange said, "This world will be lively from now on. Tony, don’t go astray. I’ll be watching you."

"You should think about how to keep yourself alive. You stole a Creator God’s power, Strange. You’re quite the celebrity now. Even Satan in Hell would give you a thumbs-up."

Tony shot back. Strange’s face darkened. The days ahead were probably not going to be easy.

"Enough of that. Hurry up and transport the food. Your Earth’s foundation is far too weak, and I need to reorganize it. The first step is to establish the Earth Federation, use high technology to eliminate poverty and hunger, and turn Earth into a Global Village."

Tony shouted impatiently. He could finally escape Wang Bert’s shadow, and he was more excited than anyone.

Wang Bert rolled his eyes. Was this guy copying his strategy? Had he paid the patent fee? After thinking it over carefully, Wang Bert decided not to pursue the matter, because he had copied quite a few things from Iron Man as well.

"Tony, enthusiasm is good, but don’t get carried away."

Steve said with a headache. Tony was not as gloomy and bitter as Old Tony, but the problem was that he was more passionate than young people, like a poodle that had been pent up for years.

"Don’t worry, I know my limits. Besides, don’t I have an old guy like you to remind me?"

Tony grinned and used Nanoparticles to form a spatial portal. "Come on, let’s go to Xandar. Thanos is dead, so Xandar will definitely be willing to provide us with food."

"Let’s go."

Everyone stepped into the spatial portal. The food shortage had been weighing on their minds, and today it could finally be resolved.

The Eternals did not leave. They looked respectfully at Wang Bert, waiting for his orders—the Eternals included eight ancient god-level Eternals and several thousand ordinary Eternals.

"Settle down temporarily on the moon. Once this war is over, I will make arrangements for you."

Wang Bert ordered, "From now on, the safety of the Milky Way Galaxy will be maintained by you."

"Yes, My God."

The Eternals nodded excitedly. They were not afraid of difficult tasks; they only feared having no tasks—Eternals had long grown accustomed to shouldering responsibility. In fact, that was what they had been born for.

After the Eternals left, Wang Bert turned to Death’s head and asked, "You wanted to kill Tony Stark because of Nemesis?"

"No, we did not know Nemesis would revive."

Death shook her head and said, "We wanted to kill Tony Stark because Super Heroes must exist. Without Super Heroes, this universe will lose the soil needed for survival."

Wang Bert’s eyes flickered as he asked, "You seem to know quite a lot."

"As Creator Gods, we can sense a few things, more or less."

Death said, "Blood God, the Five Creator Gods and the Living Tribunal have not yet reached the time to appear. Nemesis is in your hands."

Wang Bert raised an eyebrow and asked, "We’re already at a life-and-death juncture, and you still intend to keep sleeping?"

"It is not that we want to sleep. It is that we must sleep."

Death shook her head. "This universe must proceed according to its plan. Unless Nemesis truly begins destroying the universe, we will not appear. Blood God, consider this a favor we owe you. In the future, you may come and go freely in this universe."

"If I want to come, who would dare stop me?"

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully and said, "Give me the authority of Space Dominance. To deal with Nemesis, my true body must descend."

Wang Bert was referring to Nemesis at her peak, the one stronger than the Living Tribunal and the Five Creator Gods.

Death said, "That is possible, but the Cosmic Storm was caused by the Infinity Stones. Even we cannot calm it. If you wish to descend into this universe personally, you must first calm the Cosmic Storm."

"That is why I asked you for the authority of Space Dominance. With that authority, I can calm the Cosmic Storm within a month."

"Very well, Blood God. We leave it to you."

Death nodded, and the head turned into a wisp of black smoke before disappearing.

"Nemesis will definitely seek out Kang the Conqueror. This final battle will not be easy. Of course, it will only be not easy."

Wang Bert let out a long breath and returned to the Mind Sea to merge with Invincible King. Before his true body descended, Invincible King would have to hold the fort.

In an unknown time and space, the Conqueror Main Battleship suddenly sounded a piercing alarm. The Kang the Conquerors’ expressions changed as they activated all kinds of defensive measures. Unfortunately, those measures were useless. The intruder tore through them like dry grass and entered the main battleship, standing before the Kang the Conquerors.

"From now on, you will obey my orders."

Nemesis shouted coldly as the light of the Mind Stone and Soul Stone enveloped the hall at the same time.

All kinds of high-tech lights flashed one after another across the Kang the Conquerors’ bodies. They were devices designed to resist Mind Power—Blood God’s most formidable ability was Mind Power, so as top scientists, they had naturally prepared in advance.

These devices barely allowed the Kang the Conquerors to retain their sanity. One Kang the Conqueror endured the dizziness in his head and pressed a button. The next moment, countless Hulks smashed through the walls and charged into the conference room.
