Titan Power

"Iron Man’s Materialism Power can limit most idealistic powers, but only limit them, not erase them."

Ebony Maw patiently explained to Strange, "In other words, my magical power is still inside my body; it simply cannot leave my body and take effect. So what if I use that magical power to strengthen myself?"

"That won’t work. Magical power itself cannot strengthen the body; it requires spells and magic working together, such as Agility Spell, Strength Enhancement Spell, and so on."

Strange shook his head. "The problem is that under the effects of Materialism Power, neither spells nor magic can be used."

Strange had conducted many experiments to counter Materialism Power, so he knew this area very well.

"You’re right. Neither spells nor magic can be used, but there is one kind of power that can."

Ebony Maw said, "That is sacrificing one’s magical power to a supreme being in exchange for that being’s power, just like me."

As he spoke, Ebony Maw punched the void. Space immediately split apart, and a spatial rift shot toward Strange like a blade.

Strange cast a spell with both hands, and golden light enveloped the spatial rift. The rift rapidly healed.

Then Strange asked Ebony Maw, "The power of a supreme being is magical power too. Why can it be used?"

"The power of a supreme being is not necessarily magical power."

Ebony Maw did not elaborate. The power he had borrowed actually came from Thanos. Thanos was now a Creator God and qualified to be called a supreme being.

Thanos possessed two kinds of power. One was Titan Power from the Eternals, and the other was magical power. What he had given Ebony Maw was Titan Power, which was why Ebony Maw was not restricted by Materialism Power.

The energy patterns around Ebony Maw’s body were not magic, but Titan energy.

"A Creator God that does not belong to idealism? Could it be Galactus behind you?"

Strange asked in shock. Only the Five Creator Gods could be called supreme beings, and among them, only Galactus was not an idealistic existence.

Galactus was a special lifeform left behind by the previous universe. It was difficult to say what category It belonged to.

"Perhaps."

Ebony Maw tore off a piece of space and hurled it at Strange like a hidden weapon. Then, at astonishing speed, he charged after the fragment, intending to tear Strange apart.

Strange did not dare slack off in the slightest. He first dodged the spatial fragment, then used Shape of Isaac to split into hundreds of duplicates.

Next, the hundreds of duplicates simultaneously swung magical whips at Ebony Maw, binding him tightly.

Ebony Maw let out a roar, shattering every magical whip around him. Just as he was about to deal with Strange, the surroundings shattered like glass, and Ebony Maw discovered that he had been trapped inside a Space Maze.

"What an impressive Sorcerer Supreme."

Ebony Maw laughed. If it had been someone else, a muscle-brained brute like Cull Obsidian, breaking through the Space Maze would have been almost impossible.

The problem was that although Ebony Maw was strong enough to tear open space, he was not a brute. On the contrary, he was a top-tier magician of extraordinary intelligence. This Space Maze could never trap him.

"To break a Space Maze, I only need to find its weak point. This space cannot possibly be flawless."

Ebony Maw sneered and sprinted through the Space Maze at full speed. Strange was not strong enough for this Space Maze to be very large.

On the battlefield, Wang Bert looked at the black sphere in the sky—the external manifestation of the Space Maze—and frowned slightly.

Wang Bert had heard all of Ebony Maw and Strange’s earlier conversation. He was certain that the supreme being behind Ebony Maw was not Galactus.

The reason was simple. Wang Bert possessed Galactus’s body, so no one understood the nature of Galactus’s power better than he did.

"If it’s not Galactus or another Creator God, then who is it? Could a Creator God from another universe have invaded the Future Universe?"

Wang Bert narrowed his eyes slightly. If the opponent was a Creator God, he would need to make some adjustments to his plan.

Only adjustments. Wang Bert had no intention of abandoning the plan. So what if it was a Creator God? He was a Creator God too. His wife was also a Creator God, and even his body and his clones were Creator Gods.

Wang Bert refused to believe that the other side had a whole nest of Creator Gods like he did!

Meanwhile, Captain Marvel and Cull Obsidian were fighting fiercely in the air. Their battle was not as complicated as Strange and Ebony Maw’s. It was an extremely straightforward close-quarters fight, except their strength was a little excessive. One careless collision would smash a crater more than a hundred meters wide into the ground.

"A Deviant Machine cannot possibly possess such strength. Who exactly are you?"

Captain Marvel’s fists, blazing with brilliant light, hammered at Cull Obsidian in succession. Cull Obsidian blocked each attack with his hammer and occasionally counterattacked. Their strength was so overwhelming that raging shockwaves filled the surrounding air.

"Who I am is not important. What matters is that you will die by my hand."

Cull Obsidian shouted and smashed his hammer through the void, bringing a black spatial rift down upon Captain Marvel. Before the hammer arrived, a Space Storm had already enveloped her.

Fortunately, Captain Marvel’s energy possessed spatial attributes. She nimbly slipped through the Space Storm like a fish, then punched the hammerhead hard. Cull Obsidian’s hands trembled, and his body involuntarily lurched to the right.

Captain Marvel seized the opportunity, rushed forward, grabbed Cull Obsidian’s arm, and spun before violently slamming him toward the ground. With a boom, a massive crater was blasted into the earth, sending dust billowing everywhere.

Captain Marvel pressed her advantage, stacking her hands together and firing a dazzling beam of light into the crater.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground continuously caved in. At that moment, a large alloy shackle flew from the dust and locked around Captain Marvel. Then Cull Obsidian swung the shackle with all his strength, smashing Captain Marvel into the ground with a bang and kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

Cull Obsidian climbed out of the crater and charged toward Captain Marvel with thunderous steps. Midway, he leaped high into the air and brought his hammer down violently. Even the void trembled before that strike.

This version of the Black Order was far stronger than the original one. After all, every one of them had killed "themselves" several times.

"Damn it."

Captain Marvel cursed, forcefully breaking free of the shackles. Then she Teleported behind Cull Obsidian and kicked him hard, sending him flying.

Cull Obsidian slid across the ground for hundreds of meters before stopping. He shook his head and asked in astonishment, "You can Teleport?"

"My Master taught me. Is there a problem? I have an ultimate move too, but with your strength, you probably won’t be able to force me to use it."

Captain Marvel said arrogantly. Her Master was naturally Wang Bert. Over the past month, Wang Bert had had nothing better to do, so he had casually taught her a few moves, lest her strength be too lacking and embarrass him.

"Arrogant! I’ll show you why I have survived until today."

Cull Obsidian roared. His already massive body swelled again. Then he kicked off hard, shattering the ground as he shot into the sky like a cannonball, charging directly at Captain Marvel.

"Why you’ve survived until today? That’s a strange thing to say. Also, weren’t you only born recently?"

Captain Marvel dodged Cull Obsidian’s attack and asked suspiciously. Cull Obsidian did not answer. He turned and flew back toward her, swinging his hammer down with tremendous force.

Captain Marvel put aside her doubts and focused on fighting. Whatever was going on, she would find out after defeating her opponent.

Tony’s opponent was Proxima Midnight. He looked her up and down, then said in astonishment, "Um, you’re a woman?"

"You can tell I’m a woman even looking like this?"

To be honest, Proxima Midnight was somewhat surprised. After fusing with Deviant genes, she had become half-human and half-beast. To put it bluntly, even her own mother would not recognize her.

Tony, clad in the Godslayer Armor, said smugly, "I’m Tony Stark. No woman can escape my eyes."

"Is that something to be proud of?"

Proxima Midnight scoffed. She could not be bothered with more nonsense. Her spear stabbed at Tony in rapid succession like flashes of lightning. Tony Teleported behind her and fired a laser directly at her back.

Proxima Midnight immediately dodged, then thrust her spear back at Tony. Tony was about to Teleport again, but the void was disrupted by Proxima Midnight’s immense power. He flickered and reappeared.

Tony’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly controlled Space Energy and Nanoparticles to form a defensive shield before him. To his shock, Proxima Midnight’s spear pierced straight through it.

That was not all. Proxima Midnight’s spear split into three, stabbing simultaneously toward Tony’s chest. Tony activated his gravity device and dropped toward the ground like a meteor, narrowly avoiding Proxima Midnight’s killer move.

"Lots of tricks, but all show and no substance."

Proxima Midnight sneered and immediately chased after him. Her spear had been blessed by Thanos and possessed terrifying lethal properties.

Wang Bert, who was controlling Sersi’s body to turn a Deviant Machine into mud, laughed loudly. "Tony, someone has seen through your true nature. All show and no substance."

"Bullshit. I, Tony Stark, am both good-looking and useful."

Tony cursed and fired Pulse Cannons at Proxima Midnight in rapid succession. Proxima Midnight dodged nimbly while continuously attacking Tony. Tony tried to Teleport several times, but each attempt was disrupted by her.

"A reminder: there’s something wrong with that spear in her hand. Don’t let it stab you, or Ivan will get his chance."

Wang Bert said, "You know, he’s refused to get married all these years because he’s waiting for you to die so he can inherit Pepper. Oh, and I heard he’s the president of the Iron Man Must Die Association."

"Tell that bastard to go die. Also, why is there an association like that? Is it even legitimate?"

Tony gritted his teeth as nine Vibranium light rings flew from his body and slashed toward Proxima Midnight. Proxima Midnight had no choice but to stop and deal with the light rings first.

Tony breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped in midair and gathered all the energy in his body into his hands. Then two black spatial beams blasted fiercely toward Proxima Midnight. Before the beams arrived, the surrounding space had already been sealed off. No Teleportation, no movement.

Proxima Midnight’s expression did not change. She shouted and swung her spear fiercely at the two spatial beams. If she wished, even spatial beams could be slain by her spear.

At that moment, the two spatial beams vanished. At the same time, two more spatial beams appeared to her right. Proxima Midnight had no time to swing her spear again and was struck hard by the beams. She screamed as she crashed into the ground, kicking up a huge amount of dust.

"This was inspired by Mysterio: a fake attack."

Tony said proudly, "Let’s see who still dares say I’m all show and no substance."

For super scientists like Tony, their potential was always the most terrifying thing. They were constantly growing, with no limit to that growth.

Wang Bert said, "Hey, pay the licensing fee. Mysterio from the Main Universe is my employee."

Tony’s face darkened. He pretended not to hear and flew down toward Proxima Midnight in the crater.

After being hit by two spatial beams, Proxima Midnight was in terrible condition. Her body was covered in blood, and some places had even been blasted down to the bone. Furthermore, she seemed unconscious, lying motionless on the ground.

Tony did not let his guard down. He stopped more than ten meters away from Proxima Midnight and raised his right hand, preparing to finish her off with a laser. A monster like this did not deserve to live.

At that moment, Proxima Midnight suddenly opened her eyes. Then she hurled the spear in her hand at Tony with all her strength, as fast as a black bolt of lightning.

Fortunately, Tony had remained alert for a sneak attack and immediately dodged aside. Then he fired a finger-thick laser beam at Proxima Midnight.

Proxima Midnight rolled aside to evade the laser, then pulled out a tube of black serum from her clothes and stabbed it into her chest.

Aah! Proxima Midnight roared as her entire body rapidly swelled. At the same time, the wounds on her body quickly healed, restoring her completely.

In the blink of an eye, Proxima Midnight transformed into a yellow-green giant with many sharp bone spikes protruding from her body. She looked both bizarre and savage.

Proxima Midnight’s appearance made Wang Bert freeze for a moment. Why does this feel a little familiar?

Tony said viciously, "Wow, looking like that, be careful you don’t end up unable to get married. Uh, you were never getting married anyway."

"Do you think I care about something like that? I didn’t expect Ultron’s serum to be this effective. Tony Stark, I’ll return everything you did to me tenfold."

Proxima Midnight grinned viciously and shot into the air like a cannonball. Her spear smashed fiercely toward Tony, directly shattering the void and turning it into a terrifying Space Storm.

Tony did not dodge. The next moment, the Space Storm erased him. At the same time, a laser shot in from the left, piercing through Proxima Midnight’s chest.

Proxima Midnight roared and swept her spear toward the source of the laser. Tony was sent flying with a bang, tumbling continuously through the air. Fortunately, the spear had struck him with its shaft rather than its tip, so the damage was not severe.

"A little brutal, aren’t you?"

Tony stopped in midair and was about to make another sarcastic remark when he saw the piercing wound on Proxima Midnight’s body rapidly healing. He snorted unhappily. This was going to be a fight.

At that moment, Wang Bert remembered why Proxima Midnight looked familiar and hurriedly shouted, "Tony, and everyone else, be careful. That’s Abomination Blood. These monsters can transform at any time."

"Abomination?"

Everyone was stunned. This was a boss from a very, very long time ago, one they had long since forgotten. Yet Ultron had brought it back and put it to use again.

Old Tony asked Ultron, "Did General Ross give you the Abomination Blood?"

In The Incredible Hulk, Abomination had not died. After Hulk defeated him, General Ross had recovered him.
