Chapter 623: The Chronicle of Light

Ten minutes later, Stark Tower, at the very center of New York City, the city's largest landmark building.

The top floor, where the gods descended, causing Stark Industries' stock to trigger daily circuit breakers.

The girl on the hospital bed was surrounded by countless cables, while in the white room beside her, Su Lin and Meng Qi, dressed in white coats, were trying to save the 2.5 Spider, whose body had been reduced to half.

"After we returned from the Quantum Realm to the future, we hadn't yet replenished Pym Particles when Banner suddenly lost his sanity and began attacking indiscriminately."

"He caused massive casualties—we could only contain him by releasing Thanos and teaming up with him, but the situation is far from over."

"Dangerous criminals and Avengers—all those with notable names—have undergone some form of mutation, and those they killed have come back to life, even if reduced to ashes."

"They show no signs of infection, aren't zombies, and their DNA structure hasn't changed—but they turn into monsters, destroying everything with black mist."

Su Su Tuoni Stark stared at the face so nearly identical to his own, yet weathered and worn, unable to imagine what the man had endured during this time.

"The last Pym Particles had just been acquired, but Pepper, now infected, tricked her away—Peter pulled her back with his webbing."

The white-haired Su Su Tuoni gazed at Peter Parker in the white room, his eyes red but unable to shed tears—his tear ducts had long been damaged—"But at the final second of activating the device, Venom surged forward and threw Morgan to me."

Su Su Tuoni felt something clog his throat and chest, and could only offer reassurance:

"Don't worry—they'll heal him."

Just then, Su Lin and Meng Qi stepped out of the white room; the white-haired Su Su Tuoni looked at them with hope, waiting for the answer from their lips.

Su Lin fell silent briefly, then said: "Half is gone."

"Uh—I used cell culture and nano-mechanical 3D printing to reconstruct the missing parts," Su Su Tuoni interrupted before the other himself could speak.

"Soul, time, fate, causality—all the things you can imagine—are half gone," said Su Lin.

While others stared in stunned silence, Shi Hao flicked a drop of golden blood onto the corpse's forehead—the Supreme Blood capable of nurturing all life, enabling evolution, transforming mortals—but not even the effect of flesh and bone regrowth appeared.

"More bizarre than a curse."

Vitality and power lingered everywhere, unable to be absorbed.

"Even if you reduced him to ashes and rebirthed him, he'd still only be half—his origin has been stolen."

Su Lin closed the chat group window and said: "No word from Teacher Yan Sen either—it must be the mutated timeline that has invaded."

If the universe's war fleet could be described as a massive, roaring force, then the mutated timeline's invasion could only be described as silent and eerie.

It's not that the universe's superheroes and Reincarnators are weak—it's that, under the restrictions of heaven and earth, against Su Lin's use of even minor technological means, both sides were already unequal in power.

But the mutated timeline's invasion is unaffected by the Separation of Heaven and Earth.

Su Lin only defeated the opponent by using his "Explosive Room" cheat to end the gunfight game early.

From the mutated Hulk who called Su Lin "thief," it was clear—he had originally suspected the First Heaven had possessed the Hulk—but why only Hulks?

The entity most connected to the Hulk should be TOBA.

It is the other face of TOAA.

All the hell dimensions in this universe are its shadows—it is the true hell, the symbol of annihilation, the Eighth Future Universe's End in potentiality.

Did Loki not know this—or was he hiding something from me?

I only helped them collect fragments of the First Heaven, took what became mine, and prevented the First Heaven's full revival.

Concealing this information brings no benefit—and for the group members, it would even allow them to withdraw cleanly.

"Pull yourself together—when all this ends, Loki might help you restore your world," Su Lin comforted.

The white-haired Su Su Tuoni before him seemed to find spiritual support; as Su Su Tuoni explained, Su Lin glanced at Morgan Stark, still asleep, then at Peter Parker lying on the operating table.

These three—were they untouched by the mutated timeline? Or had they not been possessed by any other mutated self-origin concept?

"Motherfucker."

Every time I encounter someone, it's always riddles—why can't some senior expert or veteran just appear and give me a quest hint?

Whatever.

Omniscient, Omniview—activate!

【Hero Creation】、【Edge of the Nightmare】

"You've been enhanced—move in!"

A pair of black gloves, each embedded with six Infinity Stones, struck—fists shattered star rivers, descending from the clouds, an attack impossible to evade!

Puff.

Huang Yang's head rang dully; he clutched his bleeding nose, raised a silver circular shield to guard his side, and used the punch from the orange-haired girl beside him to create distance.

【Heavenly Relic: The First Chapter of the Underworld—The Birth of the Savior】

The shield split apart, releasing countless spectral figures resembling Tenzan Lixiang; within their souls, reflections of a decaying netherworld shimmered, binding an invisible fate to her.

As if

She bore the savior's mission of that world—and now was the time to return.

"Long, long ago… Noble Artifact! Da Lian had an Avalon!!!"

A sea of flowers spread across heaven and earth, severing all influence from the Pocket Universe Federation, protecting the right side at the level of the Omniverse.

【The Ideal Land Far From the World】

Huang Yang raised his hand again, summoning countless shadows and nightmares.

【Heavenly Relic: The Final Chapter of the Underworld—God's Annihilation of All Things】

The most desperate, horrific screams and roars erupted—a violent black vortex tore at every victorious soul and consciousness, while countless sacred blades, inscribed with the power to obliterate all things and rekindle heaven and earth, shot forth from every direction.

"Filth."

Gilgamesh swung a punch, knocking a Reincarnator flying, finding his fist more effective than an axe; he glanced at the sacred blades, and golden ripples of spatial distortion appeared behind him.

"How dare you point blades at the King!"

The Wathum Wand, the Crystal Heart of Reality, the Cosmic Cube, the Sword of Twilight, the Evil Eye, the Book of Dark Gods—artifacts from this universe poured forth from the King's Treasury.

Whoosh.

These world-destroying objects shot out like lightning!

At the same time, King Arthur, possessing the amulet and the Shi Zhongjian, unleashed his Noble Phantasm once more.

A vast and overwhelming energy storm swept across everything in the Pocket Universe Federation.

"Excellent! When the time comes, I shall use these Noble Phantasms to judge the creature within the Root!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

"King of Heroes, have you never wondered where these Noble Phantasms came from?"

The cosmic energy shield surrounding Tenzan Lixiang dissolved; she looked ahead again, but the enemy had vanished.

"Master, be careful during battle~"

Merlin appeared at her side, followed by the clang of colliding blades; with a teasing tone, he laughed:

"It seems your combat experience in life-or-death battles surpasses that of my Master. Then let Merlin, the First Sword Saint of Avalon, take you on~!"

At that moment, Graski appeared behind Huang Yang, supported by another teammate; a long scar ran across his chest, from which stardust scattered outward.

"Why are you here?" Huang Yang asked, his face filled with confusion.

"You these entities should be confined within fixed timelines' operational frameworks!"

Before undertaking his mission as the Oversight Team, he had asked the researchers, who told him these out-of-spec entities were restricted at their origin by the First Heaven.

Logically, as long as Reincarnators did not provoke them, they would never interfere with anything unrelated to themselves.

"I don't quite understand what you're saying~" Merlin tilted his head and smiled.

"After all, I'm the Flower Magician Merlin from the TYPE-MOON crossover—what does the MCU's restriction on Merlin have to do with me?"

"You're not here to check my ID as some kind of cosmic police, are you~?"

Could the TYPE-MOON universe truly be contained within this Omniverse?!

"The Shi Zhongjian that can cut through universes? That's not Captain Britain—it's King Arthur," Graski said.

Before he could think further, another commotion erupted—Reincarnators who had been revived by the Sacred Spring deployed across the Pocket Universe Federation.

But the number of them…

How did so many disappear?

"Did you collect the cosmic coordinates?"

"Collect your damn self!"

"You want us to fight Dong Huang Taiyi?!"

"Idiot, have you even read the Shanhaijing?!"

"Screw these cosmic restrictions—I'm quitting this damn mission—!"

In response to the questions, some Reincarnators immediately chose to return, cursing loudly; others still wished to return to their own timelines to continue their missions, but noticed something was wrong around them.

Reincarnator: "Who are you?"

Player: "A passing Reincarnator."

Reincarnator: "We are too—what's going on here?"

Player: "We're on a Master God Space mission."

Reincarnator: "Isn't this a Reincarnation space?"

"Brothers, there's a monster spawn point over here!"

Boom—!

Before the newly revived Reincarnator stood, the player detonated himself, unleashing his strongest attack.

Immediately after, a flood of mobs surged in to steal the kills!

"Hmm, there's no other way in this situation…"

Huang Yang exhaled a deep breath and gave his teammates a signal.

Without hesitation, all scattered individuals gathered together; some even grabbed two blonde children—Reed Richards' children.

"Will you surrender?" Merlin smiled. "But taking hostages isn't a wise choice."

"Franklin, I give you only one chance: go with your uncle and aunt into the Reincarnation space—you'll survive," Huang Yang said to the two children behind him, ignoring Merlin.

"I won't go!"

Franklin struggled, but he could no longer use his mutant abilities.

"Is that so?"

To Merlin and Tenzan Lixiang's surprise, the Reincarnator simply threw the two defenseless children toward them; Stark rushed forward to catch them.

"Too bad," Huang Yang and the Reincarnator raised high some deep-blue fragments shimmering with stardust.

In an instant, Merlin's eyes sharpened; he thrust out his cane to block Stark. "Wait! Don't move forward!!!"

Huang Yang and the Reincarnator all chanted in unison: "We humbly beg you to cast your gaze down from the Deep Sea of the Far Shore."

In midair.

As the prayer echoed.

The sky of the Pocket Universe Federation deepened, as if countless stars slowly revolved, revealing faintly a maddening silhouette and structure.

And Franklin and his sister, suspended in midair, were engulfed by black particles emerging from nowhere.

Floating in midair.

Countless stars, galaxies, universes… unfurled beneath his feet.

This Omega mutant child, capable of time travel, manipulating time, space, causality, altering reality, and creating universes, saw a shadow flicker within the bubble-like universe in his hand.

"The destinies, ages, and trajectories we forged, return to the Annals of the Heavens."

The light fragments in Huang Yang and the Reincarnator's hands flew out, linking to the starry sky of the Pocket Universe Federation within the multiverse; the starry sky began to move.

No—this was utterly unlike the stars.

As if these beings had the deep void as their body, their shells marked only by simple light bands as lines.

They gazed down with cold indifference.

That was the first group of servants created by the First Celestial Sphere in endless solitude, the earliest and most loyal faction of the Heavenly Gods.

——Dark Heavenly Gods

"Franklin! Valeria!" Stark shouted: "What happened to you?!"

"The history of the 616 Prime Universe has long been altered," Huang Yang laughed:

"I don't know which team brought you into the Cycle Space, but you've certainly been lucky, Stark."

The Celestial Spheres fragments in the hands of the Cycle Walkers flew out, and under some will, used a converging ability to draw forth the fragments from the other Cycle Walkers within the Pocket Universe Federation.

"Merlin, think of something!"

"That…"

The magical matrix in Merlin's hand flared and instantly dissolved: "Seems… haha, something went wrong…"

"What did you say?" Tenzan Lixiang froze.

"There's nothing I can do!" Merlin said helplessly: "This place doesn't seem to be Type-Moon's territory anymore."

Hundreds of thousands of light points converged into a single mass, slowly yet decisively drifting toward the Dark Heavenly Gods in the cosmos.

Within the Pocket Universe Federation, black particle storms raged everywhere, and the very structure of the universe was changing.

The entire world plunged into darkness, as if encountering a solar corona.

It was at this very moment

A silver arm tore through the universe and seized the gathered light.

Seeing this, Huang Yang and the others smiled with certainty: "Logos."

"All is offered to…" The holy, tyrannical radiance burned everyone's eyes; the silver Life Tribunal, with three faces and six wings and six arms, directed the light toward Merlin and the others:

"Chronicle of Light!"

Huang Yang: "?"

"Yes, just like that, Logos."

"Hold them off for me. When I return to my full power, I shall appoint you as the Eternal New Life Tribunal of the Omniverse!"

"Watch out! A thief is stealing my power! Yes, those people!"

Inside Stark Tower, Su Lin stared at the fragments in his hand, now gathered to roughly 7% of the Celestial Sphere's light, and sincerely praised Logos:

"Well done. Kill them."
