Slaying, Explosion

"Spider-Man actually became this powerful because of Dr. Octopus? Damn it, why is someone always competing with me for the title of ‘Most Handsome Guy’?"

Tony watched Ultimate Spider-Man battle Deadpool, looking rather displeased—someone else had stolen all the spotlight.

The others did not think that much about it. Hulk roared at Hela, "Hela, you actually found a lunatic to deal with us? I’m going to kill you."

"Hela, you’re going to lose this battle."

Little Hela said, "No matter how strong Hela was, she could not defeat so many Super Heroes. Even if she had those Demon Gods outside with her, it would be the same."

Hela cursed, and her body abruptly vanished. Then, with a bang, she slammed into the barrier, nearly raising a bump on her head.

Hela stared at the barrier in shock. What was going on? Why had the barrier stopped her? "Hela, did you think you could use the same move twice in front of me?"

Little Hela sneered. "I already used God’s Blood to strengthen the Domain of Light. Unless both you and I permit it, no one can leave this space."

"Damn it."

Hela shouted angrily, "The outcome has not been decided yet, so don’t get too smug. Anything can happen on a battlefield."

"Anything can indeed happen, but we aren’t afraid, because we won’t die."

Hulk roared and threw an Earth-Shattering punch at Hela. The entire space trembled before that fist.

The others also launched attacks at Hela. Fearless, Hela led the Demon Gods in a fierce battle against the Super Heroes.

Dracula stroked his beard with a smile. With him here, the Super Heroes would undoubtedly win.

In this battle, he, Dracula, was the real MVP!

Although the war on the Frontlines had encountered a few twists and turns, the Super Heroes had already gained the upper hand. Victory was merely a matter of time. Let us turn our attention to the Creator God battlefield.

Although quite some time had passed, nothing much had changed in the battle between Wang Bert and Galactus—Galactus was wrapped in an endless sea of blood. Though he kept throwing punches, the sea of blood barely diminished.

It was not that Galactus’s punches lacked power. In fact, his fists could easily destroy a planet. The blood sea remained unchanged because it constantly absorbed the blood of all living beings to replenish itself.

As time passed, Galactus’s punching gradually slowed. The reason was simple: Wang Bert’s ant offensive was growing fiercer and fiercer, forcing him to reinforce his protective energy.

"Blood God, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Galactus shouted angrily. Wang Bert kept turning blood into ants to break through his defenses, but what was the point? Let alone the fact that they could not break through, even if they did, what threat could a bunch of blood ants pose to him? "Of course, I’m trying to defeat you."

Wang Bert’s voice rang out from the sea of blood. "Trapping you with the blood sea is only to prevent our battle from affecting the surrounding planets. Galactus, it’s not too late to surrender. Otherwise, you’ll be in for an ugly time later."

"Blood God, I’ll show you just how vast the gap between you and a Creator God truly is."

Galactus roared and drew Cosmic Power into his fist. Wang Bert said calmly, "I’ve seen a Creator God’s true strength. It isn’t much different from mine."

"Die!"

Galactus did not waste words. He threw a punch with all his might, and the blood sea stretching countless kilometers ahead instantly vanished. Immediately afterward, vast amounts of chaos emerged in the vanished region, completely splitting the sea of blood apart.

This meant that this stretch of space had been completely destroyed. Without outside assistance, it would never recover.

One punch creating chaos—this was the supreme might of the Concept of Power.

Wang Bert smiled faintly and drew upon Space Power to repair the chaotic region. Under his efforts, the chaotic region rapidly shrank—his Dragon Soul Clone had done this many times before.

"You can actually repair chaos?"

Galactus was somewhat astonished. After thinking for a moment, he flew upward at top speed. Yet after flying for more than an hour, he was still inside the sea of blood.

Galactus stopped helplessly. The sea of blood had already locked onto him. Even he could not fly out of it.

Blood God’s mastery of the Space Concept had reached its peak. The only option now was to blast open a path completely.

Blood God was kind-hearted and could not possibly sacrifice all living beings in the universe for his own sake. As long as he damaged the blood sea badly enough, Blood God would abandon this tactic and face him head-on.

With that thought, Galactus continued his fierce assault while increasing his protective energy. Though he did not believe the blood ants could harm him, anything the enemy wanted to do was something he had to stop.

Galactus was famous for being brainless, but that did not mean he truly had no brains.

Actually, Galactus had another move: devouring the sea of blood. However, because of Wang Bert’s strange actions, he chose to abandon that method in case something went wrong.

Faced with Galactus’s fierce attacks, Wang Bert remained perfectly calm, looking utterly confident of victory.

Let us turn the camera to the Extraterritorial Void. Wang Bert and Astros were still watching the show, while within the Time Loop, the victor was about to be decided.

"You damned insects, all you know are these disgusting tricks."

Serpent God Set irritably bit at Strange while roaring, "I’m going to eat your body inch by inch."

"As if you can eat me."

Strange lashed one of Set’s heads away with his whip, then said, "I’ve survived thirty-two consecutive rounds already. Set, you really are weak. Dealing with you has been much easier than I expected."

Set grew even angrier. "Human, I will make you regret this. No one can provoke me, Set, like this."

Strange sneered. "Really, no one? I heard Blood God slapped your left cheek, and you obediently offered him your right cheek so he could slap it to his heart’s content."

"Nonsense! When did I offer him my right cheek? At most, I just pretended nothing happened."

Set instinctively retorted, then realized what he had said. Humiliated and furious, he argued, "He’s a Creator God. That’s different."

Strange scoffed. "He’s human, and I’m human too. Set, admit it. Not only are you useless, you’re also a coward."

"I’ll kill you!"

Set flew into a rage and fired dense beams of light at Strange. Strange pretended to check his watch and said, "Five minutes are up."

The moment he finished speaking, time began to reverse, and everything returned to how it had been at the very beginning.

"Damn it, this time I’ll definitely kill you."

Set cursed and prepared to seize the initiative. At that moment, Strange formed a hand seal over the Time Magic circle on his left hand, and space-time began to shift.

Then, one Strange after another appeared in the sky, staring coldly at Set.

Set was somewhat startled. At a rough count, there were more than a hundred Stranges around him. Worse still, these Stranges all seemed real.

"They are indeed all real. They are the Dr. Stranges you failed to kill before."

Strange said calmly, "Now, they will team up with me and kill you."

After years of research, Strange had successfully developed the second layer of the Time Loop—summoning versions of himself that had not died to fight alongside him.

One Strange could not defeat Serpent God Set, but what about more than a hundred Stranges?

Set blustered, "Ant, do you think this is enough to defeat me?"

"Yes, I really do."

Strange smiled faintly. Together with over a hundred counterparts, he cast a spell. More than a hundred Seven-Colored Holy Swords of Vishanti appeared in the air at once, their chilling killing intent making even Set feel a little cold inside.

Set did not dare let his guard down. His body transformed into over a hundred massive pythons, which darted through space and viciously bit at the more than one hundred Stranges.

The Stranges smiled disdainfully and cast their spells at the same time. More than a hundred holy swords slashed down together, killing the more than one hundred pythons simultaneously. They turned into black mist and fused back together.

Next, the hundred-plus holy swords merged into a gigantic sword capable of cleaving heaven and earth. Vishanti’s three faces appeared on the blade at once, greatly enhancing the holy sword’s power.

"Set, die."

More than a hundred Stranges shouted together. Vishanti’s holy greatsword came crashing down with enough power to split a planet apart. Set was terrified and spat out Black Light with all his might, but the holy sword was simply too powerful. It cut down with unstoppable force, splitting both the Black Light and Set in two.

Immediately afterward, the power within the holy sword erupted, rapidly annihilating Set’s body.

"Human, I won’t let you off."

Set roared in fury. He could accept losing to Wang Bert, since Wang Bert was now a noble Creator God, but losing to a mere god-level mage was something he could never swallow.

Not to mention that this god-level mage had a mouth as vicious as anything.

"I’ve heard that line twenty-five times already. This is the twenty-sixth."

Strange said calmly, "Besides, I don’t think you’ll get a chance to take revenge on me, because you’re simply too weak."

Set exploded from rage on the spot. Facing Vishanti’s speechless expression, Strange spread his hands. "I didn’t expect him to be so petty either."

Vishanti shook his head. "You are very different from Ancient One, but both of you are geniuses seen once in a thousand years. Your future achievements will be extraordinary."

Strange fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Could I surpass Blood God in the future?"

"Perhaps. In your dreams."

Vishanti smiled and vanished. Strange sighed. It seemed there was no hope after all. Then again, that was Blood God, a freak of nature.

In truth, Strange was also considered a freak of nature in other people’s eyes. Wang Bert was simply even more freakish.

Next, Strange dismissed the Time Loop and his temporal counterparts. However, he did not reveal himself. Instead, he hid within a gap in time, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Time inside the Time Loop differed from normal time. Other than Strange, the battles of everyone else had yet to be decided—well, on the surface.

Among these four Ancient God-level battles, the fiercest was undoubtedly the fight between Doom and Eye Demon—the two had been bombarding each other nonstop, using dozens of nuclear bombs alone.

Eye Demon grew more excited the longer it fought. It loved explosions, because explosions brought chaos.

Doctor Doom was equally excited. Opportunities to casually throw nuclear bombs around were rare. Every nuclear explosion deepened his understanding of Explosion Power. At that moment, he sensed something and gave an almost imperceptible nod. Riding a Nuclear Cockroach, he rapidly approached Eye Demon.

Eye Demon did not waste words and immediately fired dense rays at Doom. With a wave of his hand, Doom summoned large numbers of Devouring Cockroaches from thin air, swallowing the rays one by one.

These Devouring Cockroaches could devour enemy attacks, but once the amount they devoured exceeded their limit, they would burst apart and die. They were essentially cannon fodder.

Eye Demon’s rays were powerful, but Doctor Doom’s cannon fodder was endless. Every ray was swallowed. Then Doctor Doom stomped hard on the Nuclear Cockroach. It flapped its wings, accelerated, and slammed viciously toward Eye Demon.

Eye Demon used its gaze to immobilize the Nuclear Cockroach, then controlled it to explode. Doctor Doom had anticipated this and immediately vanished.

"Space traversal?"

Eye Demon was about to throw the surrounding space into chaos when the space in front of it exploded. A Space Storm swept across its eye, making it blink involuntarily.

That brief delay allowed Doom to appear behind Eye Demon. He did not waste time, immediately pressing his right hand against Eye Demon’s back. Then, a mysterious energy flowed from him into Eye Demon’s body.

Eye Demon sensed that something was wrong and controlled its tentacles to smash down on Doctor Doom. At that moment, everything around them suddenly froze.

Time Stop.

Eye Demon’s consciousness was not frozen. It saw a figure emerge from the void: Sorcerer Supreme Strange—using the Time Stone, he had stopped the surrounding time.

"Set is finished? What trash. Now he’s dragging me down with him."

Eye Demon cursed inwardly and frantically struggled with the Chaos Concept. The Time Stop gradually began to loosen.

Strange shouted, "Doom, I can’t hold it for long. It’s an Ancient God, after all."

"Long enough."

As Doom answered, he crazily poured his energy into Eye Demon’s body. Then, that energy rapidly spread throughout Eye Demon’s body, wrapping it entirely.

Soon, Eye Demon broke through the Time Stop. Doctor Doom rapidly retreated while shouting to Strange, "Run."

Without wasting words, Strange fled into the distance at top speed with Cloak’s help.

Eye Demon was about to attack when its entire body suddenly exploded with a thunderous boom.

That was right, Eye Demon exploded. Flesh and blood formed from energy scattered everywhere.

Even an Ancient God projection would die on the spot after suffering such severe damage. Yet Eye Demon was not angry. As its remaining consciousness transmitted the Chaos Concept back to its main body, it asked curiously, "Explosion Concept?"

Doctor Doom nodded. That was right, what he had just used was the Explosion Concept.

Explosion Concept—I can make anything explode, including space.

Wang Bert never treated his people poorly. Long ago, he had given Explosion Divine Lord a wisp of Explosion Origin. Doctor Doom was the best among academic prodigies. By analyzing the principles of explosions through scientific means and understanding their essence, he quickly comprehended the Explosion Concept.

"Interesting. Doom, I’ll come find you again soon."

Eye Demon laughed heartily, sounding quite excited—if Doom could kill it, then Doom’s Soul Stone would surely be delicious.

"No matter how many times you come, I’ll kill you."

Doctor Doom said confidently. Strange appeared beside him and said, "It would be better if it didn’t come back. None of these Ancient Gods are easy to deal with."

"That’s a good thing. The harder the enemy is to deal with, the more motivated I become. One day, I will blow an Ancient God to death."

Doctor Doom said with a hint of fanaticism. Strange rolled his eyes. It was fortunate that Blood God kept his senior brother in check. Otherwise, Doctor Doom would definitely become a villain, and an exceptionally vicious one at that.

Strange looked toward the magic battle far away and asked hesitantly, "Should we go help Satan?"

"No need. If Satan, of all people, cannot even deal with Chthon’s clone, then he might as well die."

Doctor Doom said cruelly, "In Hell, the weak have no right to survive."
