Transformation of All Things
Wang Bert sighed. "My true body is trapped at the End of Time. I’m only a Mental Projection. If I hadn’t hidden myself on you beforehand, I wouldn’t even have dared approach the battlefield."
Sersi was both embarrassed and furious. "Hidden yourself on me beforehand? How long have you been hiding there?"
"Hey, you’ve lived for millions of years. Can you stop pretending to be some innocent little girl?"
Wang Bert said irritably, "I hid inside your body before the battle began. Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything, and I definitely didn’t peek into your memories."
Sersi said angrily, "Millions of years? I’m only seven thousand years old, okay? I don’t remember anything before that. Also, did you really not peek into my memories? If you didn’t, why did you specifically say that?"
"Seven thousand years old is still old, okay?"
Wang Bert snarked, then said, "Don’t waste time. I’m already on you whether you like it or not. Back to the original question: do you want to save this war?"
"What do you mean, ‘already on me whether I like it or not’?"
Sersi was close to losing it. She took a deep breath and said, "Of course I want to win this war, but there’s nothing I can do. I’m not suited for combat at all."
"I am. Hand your body over to me completely, and I’ll use it to win this war."
Wang Bert said, "Completely hand it over. I need to occupy your soul. Only then will I avoid being affected by Materialism Power."
Sersi hesitated. This was even more excessive than standing naked before someone else. She asked, "Is there no other way?"
"If there were another way, do you think I’d want to go through all this trouble?"
Wang Bert said impatiently, "That damned Materialism Power is utterly disgusting. Luckily, your Eternals abilities aren’t suppressed by Materialism Power. Otherwise, even this method wouldn’t be possible."
Like mutants, the Eternals were not suppressed by Materialism Power. They were both products of advanced genetic technology.
Sersi thought for a moment, then asked, "If I hand my body over to you, can you really win this war? My powers aren’t suited for battle."
Wang Bert said, "You only think they aren’t. In truth, your power is extremely strong. It’s an ability that directly reaches the origin of all things."
"Fine, I’ll hand my body over to you."
Sersi gritted her teeth and nodded. Wang Bert said, "Good. Don’t resist."
With that, Wang Bert began merging with Sersi’s soul. Sersi instinctively wanted to resist, but remembering Wang Bert’s instructions, she forcibly suppressed that instinct.
Very soon, Wang Bert’s Mental Projection fused with Sersi’s soul. He smiled in satisfaction and activated Sersi’s power. War Machine transformed from steel into flowing water and crashed to the ground with a splash.
Sersi, controlled by Wang Bert, flipped through the air and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he drew Cosmic Energy toward himself, and dazzling golden light appeared around his body.
The Eternals used Cosmic Energy as their power source, and within the universe, Cosmic Energy was inexhaustible.
Just then, a brilliant figure pierced through the atmosphere and entered Earth, streaking toward Wakanda like a meteor.
Nick Fury, in the command center, saw this through the monitor and was overjoyed. "Great, Carol is back."
Everyone’s eyes lit up at the news. Captain Marvel could even destroy Sanctuary; Domo would be no problem at all! Captain Marvel’s target was also Domo. She planned to pierce through and destroy it, but to her shock, the energy inside her suddenly went dormant and became unusable.
"How can this be?"
The light around Captain Marvel rapidly faded, and then she fell toward Domo like a kite with a severed string.
Captain Marvel’s expression changed drastically. At her speed, if she really hit Domo, there would be no outcome other than instant death.
Seeing this, Old Tony said, "Her Space Energy is primal energy. It hasn’t been converted, so it’s suppressed by Materialism Power."
Tony, suppressed by the Time Stone, looked at Old Tony pleadingly, hoping he would save Captain Marvel.
Old Tony hesitated, then sent a Drone Armor to rescue Captain Marvel. Though he acted cold and ruthless, he was still a Super Hero.
Of course, after saving her, he would definitely send her to the End of Time. That went without saying.
"Scatter, Thousand Cherry Blossoms!"
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, the entire Domo transformed into Sakura. When the cold wind blew, the Sakura scattered through the air, creating a breathtaking sight. At the same time, the Vibranium armor, Vibranium Spears, and other objects that had been attached to it all fell toward the ground.
The Vibranium armor immediately restarted its power systems and floated into the air. Then, it grabbed the Vibranium Spears and rejoined the battle.
"Wow!"
Everyone stared at the Sakura scattering across the sky in stunned disbelief. What was going on? Why had Domo suddenly turned into flowers? This wasn’t scientific at all! Tina vaguely guessed something, yet found it hard to believe. Sersi’s power shouldn’t be this strong, should it?
"How is this possible?"
Old Tony was completely dumbfounded. Where the hell was his ship?
At that moment, someone caught Captain Marvel. She smiled and said, "Captain Marvel, that expression you had just now was hilarious. I recorded it. When I have time, I’ll put it online so everyone can enjoy it."
Captain Marvel, having been caught, breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard those words, and her face stiffened. She shouted angrily, "You wouldn’t dare! Wait, who are you? I don’t think I know you."
"We’re old acquaintances. We’ll talk later."
Wang Bert smiled. He flew to the ground and set Captain Marvel down, then controlled Cosmic Energy as he flew toward Old Tony.
Old Tony watched Sersi warily and asked, "Sersi of the Eternals! Why have you become so powerful?"
"You know Sersi? It seems she holds a very important position in the future."
Wang Bert said, "Old Tony, I won’t waste words with you. Please stay quiet for a while."
As he spoke, Wang Bert raised his hand. The air around Old Tony transformed into steel and wrapped around him. Then Wang Bert rushed in front of the steel, placed his hand on it, and the steel quickly turned to stone, spreading toward Old Tony inside.
Old Tony immediately activated the Reality Stone. The steel turned into transparent butterflies and fluttered away. Wang Bert did not care, and his right hand shot toward Old Tony’s chest like lightning.
How could Old Tony dare let Wang Bert touch him? He immediately activated the Time Stone’s power, turning Wang Bert’s movements into slow motion.
Then, Old Tony retreated while raising his hand to fire lasers at Wang Bert. At that moment, a Sentinel Robot Teleported in front of Wang Bert and blocked the lasers for him.
Afterward, the Sentinel Robot fired a green beam at Wang Bert. Wang Bert returned to normal, pressed both hands downward, and the air transformed into a massive tree. Countless vines spread toward Old Tony.
"Wow, this is practically a miracle."
Many people below cried out in astonishment. Some even softly called upon God.
Tina was even more shocked. "Sersi’s power is indeed very strong, but there’s no reason for her to be this powerful. What exactly is going on?"
Not just Tina—even Sersi herself was stunned. At most, she could turn a large rock into flowing water, or a pond of water into mud. Turning Domo into Sakura or transforming air into a tree was something she simply could not do.
Sersi could not do it, but that did not mean Wang Bert could not. Wang Bert was the Creator God. Not only could he bring Sersi’s power to its limit, but he could also use Cosmic Energy with maximum efficiency, wasting nothing at all.
"Break!"
Facing the incoming vines, Old Tony roared and blasted purple energy from his fist. It not only destroyed every vine in its path, but also blew the great tree apart on the spot.
Wang Bert swept his hand in a circle, and the shattered tree turned into countless little birds. They beat their wings hard and crashed toward Old Tony. Old Tony gathered purple light and threw another punch, causing all the birds to explode.
The next second, the exploded birds transformed into rain that shot toward Old Tony. Old Tony hurriedly dodged, but the raindrops were far too dense. His armor was repeatedly struck by the drops and dissolved with sizzling sounds.
This rain was an extremely terrifying liquid that could corrode even Nanoparticles.
Old Tony hurriedly used the Reality Stone to alter reality, restoring his armor in an instant. At that moment, a hand suddenly emerged from thin air behind him and pressed against his back.
There was no doubt that it was Sersi’s hand. Immediately afterward, Old Tony’s armor rapidly turned to stone. His face changed drastically, and without caring about anything else, he forcibly activated the Space Stone and vanished.
"Fast reaction."
Wang Bert unhappily withdrew his hand from the space portal. He had almost turned Old Tony into a stone statue just now, but Old Tony’s reactions were simply too fast.
"Let’s end this."
Wang Bert raised both hands, and the air transformed into countless threads that swept toward the armor legion. Every suit of armor caught by the threads turned into a mud doll and fell to the ground with repeated thuds.
A minute later, the Iron Legion had been completely wiped out. All of them had turned into immobile mud pits.
Watching Sersi hover in the sky like a goddess, many Wakandans fell to their knees. Her power was simply too astonishing, too terrifying.
"You still managed to turn things around. The Blood God really is the Blood God. He always knows how to surprise people."
Loki shook her head and activated the Space Stone to leave. Thor hesitated, but did not stop her—after Old Tony left, his strength had already recovered.
Tony flew to Sersi’s side and said unhappily, "You stole the spotlight again."
Wang Bert asked, "You know who I am?"
Tony rolled his eyes. "Of course I do. Who else could be this good at stealing the spotlight besides that bastard called the Blood God?"
"If you’re not capable enough, don’t be jealous of others. If it weren’t for my Sentinel Robot earlier, you would’ve been on your knees already."
Wang Bert snorted, stepped out of Sersi’s body, and then said to her, "Your body is returned to you. Nothing’s missing."
Sersi blinked. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly fell downward—unfortunately, she could not fly.
Watching the screaming Sersi, the Wakandan soldiers who had been kneeling were utterly confused. What the hell? Why was the goddess screaming so miserably? Wang Bert was speechless. He raised his hand, and Sersi flew back up, wrapped in Mind Energy. He said, "After millions of years, you still can’t even use Cosmic Energy to fly? You’ve really failed at living. Also, your use of Transformation of All Things is no better than a child’s."
Sersi said unconvinced, "I had no idea I could fly. In fact, hardly any Eternals can fly at all."
"That’s because you’re too stupid. Flying with Cosmic Energy is basic training."
Wang Bert said disdainfully, "Captain Marvel is smarter than all of you. Without anyone teaching her, she learned all kinds of applications for Space Energy by herself."
Captain Marvel flew over and said unhappily, "Hey, why does that sound like you’re insulting me?"
Wang Bert smiled. "You’re my disciple. Why would I insult you? By the way, why were you so reckless? Didn’t Nick Fury tell you about Materialism Power? If it weren’t for me, you’d be a pile of meat paste by now."
"The signal was bad. Nick Fury didn’t tell me much."
Captain Marvel shook her head. "The thing that made me lose my power is called Materialism Power?"
"Yes. Ask Nick Fury about the details. I’ll help Black Panther clean up the battlefield first. Carol, don’t act impulsively. Dark Tony won’t be easy to deal with."
Wang Bert said. Though Old Tony had held back during that battle, Wakanda had still suffered considerable losses and needed to be dealt with properly.
Remembering how she had almost fallen to her death, Captain Marvel nodded. "Don’t worry. I won’t act impulsively."
"That’s it?"
Tony asked from the side, "I think we should take the opportunity to storm the White House and finish Old Tony for good. You were ridiculously powerful while possessing Sersi."
Wang Bert shook his head. "No. We only caught Old Tony off guard just now. With the Infinity Stones and Materialism Power, it’ll be difficult for us to defeat him completely."
Tony sighed. "True. What a pity."
"There’s nothing to regret. Old Tony used two Infinity Stones at once earlier, so he’ll definitely suffer backlash. We’ll have some peace and quiet for a while."
Thinking of something, Wang Bert said to Sersi, "Your potential is enormous. Don’t waste it. What I did just now, you can do as well, as long as you fully develop your potential."
"Really?"
Sersi’s eyes lit up. Earlier, she had been as powerful as a god.
"Of course."
Wang Bert nodded. Naturally, he was only encouraging Sersi. Even if she fully developed her potential, she could at most reach seventy percent of his strength. His control was far beyond anything Sersi could match.
"I’ll work hard."
Sersi said excitedly. If she could possess that level of strength, she would definitely be able to save Ikaris and the others.
After that, everyone began cleaning up the battlefield. They were all very happy, because they had won! In the underground Experiment Base, Old Tony appeared out of thin air. Then he screamed and collapsed to the ground. Even more terrifyingly, large amounts of blood flowed out from his armor, staining the floor red.
"Mr. Stark."
Friday immediately controlled the armor and took Old Tony to the treatment room. Then she activated the Future Treatment Pod and placed the unconscious Old Tony inside.
The Future Treatment Pod was advanced technology from the future. With its help, Old Tony’s life signs quickly stabilized.
Old Tony was only human. Using even one Infinity Stone was already difficult for him, let alone using two at once. In truth, that was no different from suicide. Even Loki did not dare do such a thing.
The fact that Old Tony was still alive could only be attributed to his stubbornly tough fate.
At that moment, Loki appeared out of thin air in the underground laboratory. Just as she was about to go in to visit Old Tony, numerous Drone Armors aimed their palms at her.
Loki raised her hands. "Hey, what’s this supposed to mean? I came to help Tony. I can use the Reality Stone to heal him."
