Intervention

Old Tony darted around swiftly, easily evading the Deviant Machines’ lasers. Then, he condensed Nanoparticles into a Vibranium greatsword and flashed past the group of Deviant Machines like a phantom.

When Old Tony stopped, all the Deviant Machines had been sliced in half and fell to the ground with clatters.

After dealing with the Deviant Machines, Old Tony turned to look at Ultron on the ground and discovered that he had already fully recovered. Ajak’s self-healing ability had clearly been enhanced within Ultron.

Old Tony walked down from the sky step by step toward Ultron and said coldly, "My son, no matter how much you struggle, it’s useless. Be good and die."

Ultron looked at Old Tony with some fear. He had never seen Tony Stark like this before. Whether in strength or temperament, the other man was terrifying to the extreme.

After the fear came raging fury. As Ultron injected the Abomination Potion hidden in his arm into his body, he stalled for time and asked, "Old Tony, even with the help of the Time Room, you couldn’t possibly have made the Anti-Blood God Armor in just one month. How exactly did you do it?"

"That’s right, Tony Stark. How exactly did you do it?"

Phastos also asked, "How did you crack the genes of us Eternals? And how did you fuse them together without causing conflicts? I studied them for seven thousand years and couldn’t even complete the first step. Don’t tell me you’re a genius. As if I’m not one too?"

Kingo asked in surprise, "You actually studied our genes?"

Phastos explained, "It’s a scientist’s bad habit. Besides, I wanted to help Sprite grow up."

"Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean no one else can."

Old Tony said arrogantly, "I’m Tony Stark."

"I’m Tony Stark too. The problem is, our accomplishments in genetics and biology aren’t that impressive."

Tony, who was fiercely battling Proxima Midnight, sneered. "If I’m not mistaken, you must have used the Reality Stone’s power. The Reality Stone can do anything. As long as you have enough sacrifices, analyzing Eternal genes wouldn’t be difficult at all."

"The Reality Stone truly can do anything, but what we have is only a projection, and it has certain limits. Otherwise, my Abomination Potion would have been finished long ago. As for sacrifices, I have plenty."

Ultron shook his head. As he adapted to his newly born Abomination power, he said, "Old Tony, how exactly did you do it? Eternal genes came from the Celestial Group. They aren’t that easy to crack."

"It indeed wasn’t the Reality Stone. At the Time Variance Authority, Old Tony obtained something else besides Materialism Power and the Infinity Stones."

Wang Bert narrowed his eyes slightly. "That thing gave him the confidence to deal with the Celestial Group, allowed him to successfully crack the Celestial Group’s genes, and create the Anti-Blood God Armor. Besides, the reason Old Tony dared to protect Earth alone was also because of that thing. Interesting, Old Tony. Let me see just how many things you’re still hiding."

"I told you, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t."

Old Tony had no intention of saying more. He suddenly smiled and said, "Ultron, did you think I didn’t know you were secretly injecting the Abomination Potion?"

As Old Tony spoke, a large amount of golden silk emerged beneath Ultron’s feet. The silk then wrapped around Ultron’s hands, feet, torso, and neck, firmly pinning him to the ground.

Ultron roared, his body rapidly swelling as he transformed into Abomination form. But to his shock and fury, even in Abomination form, he could not break free of the golden silk. It was so sturdy that it inspired despair.

"This is golden silk made from Vibranium and gem energy. You can’t break free."

Old Tony controlled the golden silk as it wrapped around Ultron’s entire body. At the same time, he said, "Ultron, your birth was a mistake. I’ll correct that mistake soon."

Phastos asked in astonishment, "Isn’t this the Imprisoning Golden Rope I’ve been researching? Tony Stark, you actually stole my research results?"

"Wow, Old Tony, that isn’t cool at all."

Tony looked down on him. Wang Bert sneered from the side. "And who just stole the Blood God Group’s Second Structure technology?"

Tony was a little embarrassed, while everyone looked at him with disdain. So they were all cut from the same cloth.

"After finding you, I saw the information on the Imprisoning Golden Rope on your computer. I thought it was interesting, so I altered it a little and turned it into the current Binding Golden Silk."

Old Tony spoke indifferently. "You were a prisoner at the time. I did nothing wrong. If you’re dissatisfied, you can sue me in court."

Phastos nearly exploded with rage. An alien suing the president of America in court? He would have better odds of seeing a ghost.

At that moment, Ultron’s eyes lit up red as he prepared to use lasers to destroy the golden silk. Old Tony snorted coldly and controlled the silk to pierce into Ultron’s eyes. Ultron let out a shrill scream as blood continuously flowed from his eyes.

That was not all. The other golden silk gradually seeped into every part of Ultron’s body. Ultron was completely restrained and utterly unable to resist.

"Though the process was terrible, this matter is finally about to be resolved."

Phastos let out a breath and said, "Tony Stark, when this is over, we’ll settle the score with you properly."

"Once this is resolved, I’ll send you away from Earth."

Old Tony spoke coldly, then walked to Ultron’s side and summoned the Space Stone, preparing to store Ultron inside it.

"Tony Stark, I won’t lose to you."

A voice sounded from Ultron’s speaker. Immediately afterward, Ultron’s body exploded with a thunderous boom, shaking heaven and earth. Old Tony was caught off guard and sent flying. Even with the Anti-Blood God Armor protecting him, his mind still reeled with dizziness.

Just then, a purple giant hand reached out from the void, grabbed Old Tony, and squeezed hard. Old Tony screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood before falling unconscious on the spot. At the same time, the Anti-Blood God Armor on his body shattered, turning into damaged blood-red light that shrank back into him.

"Very good."

Thanos nodded in satisfaction. He had waited so long for precisely this opportunity—an opportunity to instantly knock Old Tony unconscious. Once Old Tony was unconscious, those powerful external tools of his would no longer be of any use.

Then, purple light shone from Thanos’s giant hand. The Materialism Power within Old Tony’s body was drawn out and gradually emerged from his chest.

Just as Thanos was about to succeed, Wang Bert and Thor appeared out of thin air beside the purple giant hand.

Thor roared, and Stormbreaker, wreathed in dense lightning, chopped toward the purple giant hand. The void was instantly split in two, and even time was affected, greatly increasing the axe’s speed.

At the same time, Wang Bert controlled the Space Stone, transforming it into a brilliant blade of light that slashed toward the purple giant hand.

That’s right, the Space Stone. Wang Bert had never returned the Space Stone Loki had possessed earlier.

"Blood God, you’re merely a fake. What gives you the right to fight me?"

The owner of the purple giant hand sneered disdainfully. The hand shook violently, causing space-time to collapse. Wang Bert and Thor were both blasted away, rolling across the ground repeatedly.

"So it really is a Creator God."

Wang Bert climbed up from the ground and cursed unhappily. He did not attack again because there was no longer any need.

Three seconds earlier, at the End of Time, Wang Bert suddenly smiled. "The time has come."

Sylvie asked in confusion, "What time?"

The answer to Sylvie was the constantly shaking castle. Realizing something, Sylvie looked outside and discovered that the ground beneath the castle had already vanished.

The End of Time was completely destroyed. Alioth used black mist to envelop the castle, preventing it from being erased by the void.

Once the End of Time was destroyed, the Six Infinity Stones lost their target and prepared to return to Old Tony. At that moment, Wang Bert used Mind Power to form a giant hand and seize all Six Infinity Stones.

"Finally got them."

Wang Bert smiled slightly and activated the power of the Six Infinity Stones, striking at the Infinity Stones sealing the universe. The Infinity Stones shook violently, and a huge crack appeared in the sealing net.

Green Forest Star. Thanos was preparing to continue extracting Materialism Power when the sky shattered. Then, a fist descended from the heavens as if it would destroy everything, smashing toward the purple giant hand.

Everyone present except Thanos was unable to move. They stared at the fist in the sky in terror, like ants facing a god of the universe.

Everyone understood clearly that the power contained in that fist was enough to destroy this planet, even this entire star system.

Sersi’s soul trembled. "What kind of power is this?"

Wang Bert said calmly, "It’s all right. Since the seal hasn’t been fully opened yet, this punch only has one-tenth of my true body’s power."

Sersi was stunned. "Your true body? That fist belongs to your true body?"

Wang Bert smiled. "That’s right. One good thing about me is that I never lie."

Sersi was completely shocked. The Blood God’s true body really was a Creator God. She wanted to slap herself. Such a massive golden thigh was right there, yet she had not clung to it. With him around, what did the Celestial Group amount to? The next time he possesses me, I need to be more proactive.

Wang Bert said faintly, "I can sense that."

Sersi’s face turned red, and she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

It’s truly hard to connect this power with that unserious Bert Wang. The power of a Creator God, yet the heart of a man. Though I don’t want to admit it, this guy has truly become what I always dreamed of becoming.

Tony silently sighed. I need to keep working hard. Once I become a Creator God, Pepper won’t be able to beat me anymore.

"Blood God Descends detected. Mr. Stark has fallen unconscious. Activating backup measures."

Friday, Tony’s intelligent system, silently executed a special program. This was a program Old Tony had set up long ago, with only one purpose: to prevent the Blood God’s true body from descending into the Future Universe.

"Blood God!"

Thanos was somewhat surprised by Wang Bert’s appearance, but only somewhat. Grabbing Old Tony, he threw a punch upward to meet the fist in the sky.

As it rose, Thanos’s fist grew larger and larger, like an expanding planet. In comparison, Wang Bert’s fist did not change at all. It was the same size as before.

Many people silently worried. Soon, the two fists collided. Everyone prepared for a massive explosion, but to their surprise, there was no sound at all.

That’s right, it was not the silence after the void shattered. There was truly no sound. The reason was simple: all the power in Thanos’s fist had been devoured by Wang Bert’s fist.

The purple giant hand rapidly shrank. Wang Bert’s fist shook lightly, and the purple giant hand disintegrated in midair, turning into dissipating energy. Then, Wang Bert changed his fist into a claw and grabbed toward the falling Old Tony.

Just as Wang Bert was about to seize Old Tony, a purple figure appeared out of thin air and punched toward Wang Bert’s giant hand. Space-time shattered, and several ripples spread downward, causing the ground to split apart with thunderous rumbles. Large numbers of Deviant Machines fell into the magma and died miserably.

Wang Bert snorted coldly and swung his hand toward Thanos’s fist. Just like before, there was not the slightest sound, and all the power in Thanos’s fist was devoured by Wang Bert.

Thanos’s expression changed slightly. He shouted, and Titan Power erupted. Wang Bert’s hand and Thanos both retreated at the same time. The sky turned pitch-black, as though doomsday had arrived.

Pushed by the spatial storm, Old Tony fell straight downward. Fortunately, he had the Infinity Stones protecting him, or he would have long since been obliterated.

Seeing this, Tony hurriedly flew over and caught Old Tony in his arms. Proxima Midnight did not take the opportunity to do anything and instead retreated to the rear. Ebony Maw and the others did the same—Ebony Maw had forcibly escaped the spatial labyrinth.

At the same time, under Ultron’s command, the Deviant Machines rapidly withdrew from the battlefield. That’s right, Ultron was not dead. He had self-destructed his body and transferred his core essence into another Deviant Machine, where he was reborn.

Whether mechanical lifeforms or Deviants with rebirth abilities, both were difficult to kill.

Seeing this, Steve hurriedly directed everyone to retreat. The two big shots in the sky were fighting. Their greatest priority now was figuring out how to protect themselves so they would not be caught in the crossfire.

Thanos ignored the situation below. Looking up at the sky, he said coldly, "I never expected you to become a Creator God too, Blood God. As expected of my fated enemy."

"Fated enemy? Are you worthy?"

Wang Bert sneered disdainfully. As he forcibly squeezed into the Future Universe, he said coldly, "You really didn’t die, and you even became a Creator God. If I’m not mistaken, the method you used to become a Creator God was devouring versions of yourself from other universes."

Wanda had become a Creator God through this method. The difference was that Wanda fused with them, while Thanos devoured them.

"Thanos!"

Thor gripped Stormbreaker tightly and shouted through gritted teeth. He had never expected the Behind-the-Scenes Manipulator to be Thanos.

The others had not expected it either. They all thought Thanos had long become a thing of the past.

"Of course I wouldn’t die. How could I die before my destiny is fulfilled?"

Thanos said, "I originally intended to return to the Main Universe and slowly play with you there. Since we have met in the Future Universe, let us determine the victor here. Blood God, after killing you, I will return to the Main Universe to fulfill my destiny and let Death witness my glory."

"Death?"

Wang Bert chuckled twice and said, "She’s pretty hot."

"Pretty hot?"

Thanos froze, then his purple face flushed bright red as he roared, "What did you do with Death?"

Tony called out recklessly, "With Bert’s personality, what else could he have done? Thanos, Death won’t witness your glory. She’ll only witness you being cuckolded."

"Die!"

Thanos flew into a rage and threw a punch at Tony from afar. Even space-time was destroyed by this punch. Tony could not even react, much less resist, but fortunately, Wang Bert immediately reached out and devoured the force of Thanos’s punch.
