Chapter 337: Annihilation, the Watcher's Deal, Six Sets of Infinity Stones

~14 min read 2,641 words

Luode clearly could feel that the three bodies—Heavenly Dao, Asura Dao, and Hell Dao—were in tune with his mind, and they could share vision and even cooperate in battle, but controlling these three bodies with one mind was indeed a hassle.

But if he later gained three even stronger avatars, controlling the Six Paths avatars together with his main body, he should be able to exert great combat power.

This isn't as simple as 1+1; the Six Paths avatars working with his main body can unleash great power.

Moreover, these Six Paths avatars can also be used for other things, such as shady deeds, to help Luode hide his identity.

Luode glanced at the two older siblings.

"Just stay here for now, inside this space. This world has nothing to do with you anymore. After I go out and finish dealing with Ultron, you'll leave with me." Luode said.

His private space had water, oxygen, and plenty of food stored, so living there posed no problem for the siblings.

"Wait, Mr. Luode, you hired us to work for you, but please don't treat us like slaves or anything—at least let us go out and leave this place!" Quicksilver said.

"I understand, sir. We'll stay here obediently." At that moment, Scarlet Witch grabbed her brother and said.

At this point they had no standing to negotiate with the opposition; even Ultron, which they saw as an immensely powerful robot, was just a trivial side dish in front of him.

"That's right, don't worry. When you reach another world, I'll send a dedicated magic teacher to teach your sister magic; as for you, you could perhaps become a thief." Luode said.

To make Scarlet Witch a formidable combatant, she still needs to learn to control her magic.

Coincidentally, the Azeroth world has many top archmages, and I happen to have one in my own home—Rhonin.

"I'm not a thief at all; my speed is very fast."

"Literally speaking, it's just an existence that fights using various assassination techniques as a skirmisher."

"Alright, you stay here! I'm leaving now." Luode waved his hand and directly left his private space.

At that moment, the robots controlled by Ultron outside had already left, but this posed no difficulty for Luode; when he had just met Ultron, he had already branded a few of those robots.

He directly activated his spatial ability, instantly seizing those Ultron robot avatars, not missing a single one.

All of Ultron's robot avatars were completely marked by Luode using his spatial ability, even those just produced were the same.

These robots were directly transported by Luode using spacetime magic to a region, a wilderness on Earth.

There were over a thousand robots made by Ultron, plus a few huge ones resembling its main body, and at this moment they were all in a dazed state.

"Oh! It's you again! What are you doing?"

"Face reality! Today is your doom." Luode chuckled and said.

The Asura Dao avatar nodded at Luode, then approached an Ultron robot, placed both hands on its forehead, and emitted a golden light.

Then it began to purge, severing its connection to the Internet and permanently barring Ultron from entering the Internet.

All of Ultron's robots were instantly expelled from the cyber world after all cyber-world data had been cleared out.

Luode waved his hand, using the power of Chakra, and crushed the bodies of those Ultron robots completely.

In just an instant, all that remained before Luode was a single figure—a giant robot over two meters tall, with a cold nuclear fusion reactor mounted on its chest.

"How tragic! All my plans are under your control." Seeing that his defeat was certain today, Ultron let out a mocking laugh.

That night, after awakening his self-will, he began to plot a plan to annihilate humanity and devised a detailed, thorough scheme.

But now this plan cannot possibly succeed, because the power device he installed still cannot make Kosovo City take flight.

Now that he has been expelled from the cyber world, several bases he built have completely lost contact.

Under the current circumstances, according to Ultron's calculations, his chance of survival is less than 0.1%.

What a disaster! Moreover, he sensed that even any backups he had on personal computer terminals or satellites—data not connected to the network—had already been cleaned out by Luode.

"This is your last body. Once this body is annihilated, your consciousness will completely vanish from this Earth, with no backups whatsoever." Luode said.

"Indeed tragic. Go ahead—don't waste time." Ultron waved his hand and said.

Luode nodded, then fired a miniature Tailed Beast Ball, completely erasing Ultron's existence.

However, at the same time he erased the physical form, Luode also captured the artificial-intelligence souls generated by the robots, gathering that special soul energy.

This is AI soul energy, which might possibly be used to create a Robot Homie.

"A powerful outsider used his power to eliminate Ultron in this world, resolving Earth's crisis, but it also means two heroes will not appear in the Avengers; the mighty Thor will withdraw from the Avengers."

"However, Thanos will not appear again; there may still be future crises, but at least Iron Man will not die, Captain America will not retire, and the Avengers will continue to exist."

"But do you think this is all over? Outsider, this world has already gone wrong. Moreover, you have resurrected the dead."

"Although their number is not small, and they haven't been dead long, you have already attracted the attention of some powerful being."

"Come on, buddy, when you sometimes narrate, you always scare people! Can you tell me who is staring at my existence?" Luode turned to face the big bald head ahead and asked.

I don't know whether the Watcher now has assembled a multiverse rescue squad; the Ultron in my universe probably isn't the six-Stone Ultron.

Also, it said I had drawn the notice of a powerful being—who could it be? Surely not the Death Goddess!

"I don't intend to talk to you, outsider; I'm merely observing. Perhaps my muttering reached your ears—just ignore me." The Watcher obviously had no intention of conversing with Luode.

"Watcher, in the universes you observe, are there any cases where Ultron succeeded? Where Ultron defeated the Avengers and then successfully destroyed Earth?" Luode asked.

"Why would you ask such a question?"

"I'm a bit curious after just defeating this guy—if I hadn't shown up, how would those Avengers deal with Ultron?"

"They'll have their own ways; the avatar you control will actually become a true hero, as it should be."

"However, in the multiverse there does exist an Ultron that once successfully wiped out all Avengers members and destroyed the entire Earth."

"It plunged the world into doom and also killed Thanos, who had come to Earth to seize the Infinity Stones, while at that time Thanos already held five Infinity Stones in his hand."

"That Ultron had gathered all six Infinity Stones, wielding unimaginable power, and even planned to destroy the entire multiverse. Fortunately I noticed in time and assembled a savior squad to stop him." The Watcher said.

It was precisely that operation that gave him a different view of the people inside the multiverse; otherwise, the former Watcher would hardly have said more to Luode.

The reason I have been watching this universe all along is my concern that its Ultron might also collect all six Infinity Stones.

Upon hearing this, Luode nodded.

"Well! Looking at it this way, the six-Stone Ultron incident has already occurred. Geez, he originally expected the Watcher to summon him to fight that, the multiverse war! Then he could also scoop up some benefits."

"Watcher, you have observed countless worlds; I want to know whether there is any world where Odin successfully avoided Ragnarok? Is the powerful being you mentioned—the one that noticed me—going to come deal with me?" Luode said. He hadn't expected that merely resurrecting a few mortals would draw the attention of the Death Goddess; indeed, it's said that goddess is beautiful to the extreme.

Upon seeing her, Deadpool had only one thing on his mind: to hurry up and die, then go meet that goddess.

And after Thanos saw her true appearance, he also fell madly in love with this Death Goddess, and after learning that those who love the Death Goddess are cursed, he also cursed him to immortality.

"Sorry! No Odin from any world has escaped Ragnarok, but if you take this universe's Odin and leave, perhaps he will become the first."

"As for that powerful existence you mentioned, don't worry! She merely glanced at you briefly, she won't do anything to you, even if you destroy this multiverse she won't care." Observer Jue said.

"The universe's Five Great Creation Gods possess unimaginable power and omnipotence, but they are also the least likely to meddle in affairs, unless a threat looms over the super-large universe."

"Just like many years ago, after that world's Thanos collected the six Infinity Stones, he placed the Five Great Creation Gods upon the temple."

"This multiverse is actually weak; among all multiverses it belongs to the weakest tier, and will hardly draw the attention of these great gods."

"Luode heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, 'I said, the film universe shouldn't attract the Five Great Creation Gods' attention; even if it did, they wouldn't care, after all this multiverse is too weak.'"

"\"Wait a moment, outsider! How about we make a deal? \" the Observer suddenly said."

"\"Oh! You want to make a deal with me? What do you want to get from me? \" Luode asked."

"\"I want to go observe other worlds; I've seen too much in this multiverse, past and future I've taken it all in. Even that Conqueror Kang has failed countless times. \""

"\"You can let me go observe another world just once; I won't disturb anything in that world, I just want to observe. \" the Observer said."

"\"That's indeed easy for me; then what can you offer? \" Luode asked."

"\"I can tell you the origin of that powerful existence that slightly noticed you! \""

"\"Hahaha! Please, Observer, I have no interest in knowing who that powerful existence is; as long as they don't come to deal with me, that's enough. \""

"\"Then what do you want? \""

"\"Infinity Stones, I want six Infinity Stones, and I currently have five in my hand. \" Luode said."

"\"Such stones can be said to be the most worthless things in the multiverse; every world has a set of Infinity Stones, but they can only be used within their own universe. \""

"\"Even reaching multiverse level they cannot be used, let alone crossing worlds. \""

"\"They are no different from ordinary stones; even some mortals use these pretty stones as bookmarks. \" the Observer patiently explained to Luode what the Infinity Stones actually are."

"In this multiverse, a single-universe's Infinity Stones can only be used within that single universe; once you go to another universe they become completely unusable."

"Infinity Stones that can be used in other universes become useless once you leave this multiverse."

"The only set of Infinity Stones that can be used throughout the entire multiverse is the set of six stones from Ultron."

"But this set of Infinity Stones has been sealed by oneself, and when taken to other worlds it is no different from ordinary stones."

"\"In my universe there are also six great forces: Death, Life, Order-Chaos, Light and Shadow; perhaps I can forge a set of Infinity Stones in my own world, and I need a set of Infinity Stones as a framework or reference. \" Luode said."

"\"I see, that's truly amazing; you can actually forge your own Infinity Stones—what a great idea! May I watch? If you agree to let me observe, I'll bring you a set of Infinity Stones. \" the Observer said."

"Several Infinity Stones from completely destroyed universes have been kept as collectibles, so let alone a set, Luode wants several more sets."

"The Observer can agree, but those Infinity Stones from damaged universes are merely carriers, not much different from ordinary stones."

"\"First, our deal is that I will send you to an unknown world for you to observe that universe. \""

"\"Then you give me a set of Infinity Stones; if you want to observe me forging new Infinity Stones, the six Infinity Stones of our universe, then you must offer something else. \" Luode said."

"\"Please! I won't make a loss-making deal; if you want to watch, that's fine, but you need to produce the corresponding items. \""

"\"Hmm! How about this: there are many broken universes; I have several sets of Infinity Stones in my hand; I'll give them all to you, how about that? \" the Observer said."

"\"I only need one set for research; the rest, in my view, are no different from ordinary stones. \" Luode rolled his eyes and said."

"Infinity Stones, I want that many, what the heck!"

"\"Researching Infinity Stones also consumes resources; if the stones can be split to study their internal structure, then the chances of forging your universe's six Infinity Stones increase. \""

"\"Moreover, these moisture-retaining casings can also be used as materials; you'd better prepare several extra sets as backups. \" the Observer said."

"That actually makes sense, but damn it I don't want you going to the Azeroth world! That's my base, my lair."

"\"Like this, you've also seen that with my current level, it's not yet time to forge Infinity Stones; why don't I first send you to another world to observe? After you finish observing that other world, I'll pretty much be ready to start forging Infinity Stones. \""

"\"Then I'll invite you over to watch; now you will send me your collection, several sets of Infinity Stones. \" Luode said."

"When the time comes to truly begin forging Infinity Stones, one's strength should have already surpassed the Observer."

"Even if you let him observe then, he won't be able to make any big waves."

"I agree to your terms." The Observer nodded and then extended a hand toward Luode.

In total thirty-six, each Infinity Stone has six, making a full six sets of Infinity Gems, were placed before Luode.

These Infinity Stones were all collected from destroyed worlds; now that they have left their own universe, they are not much different from ordinary stones.

However, as former Infinity Stones, they still have research value.

Luode plans to give two sets of Infinity Gems to Sa Zong for research, and keep the remaining four sets for Ai Jiang and himself to study.

You're really impatient! Observer, do you mean you want me to send you to another universe now? Are you sure you want to go? Other worlds are quite dangerous.

My mission is to observe; I will not interfere in anything, even if an entire planet's worth of people die before my eyes, I will remain unmoved." The Observer said.

I happen to know that a world also has a multiverse, with countless unknowns; you can go take a look." Luode smiled and opened the door to the Final Fantasy world for the Observer.

Big Bald Baby, go observe that world well! The Final Fantasy universe has many parallel universes, and it belongs to the multiverse level.

The Observer was full of excitement, and then eagerly entered that spacetime tunnel.

I will observe in that world for ten years; after ten years, please open the channel connecting our universes to fetch me home." The Observer, before leaving, said to Luode.

Got it! I'll pick you up on time then." Luode said with a smile.

The Observer is a race, so Luode will also keep the promise; when the time comes, he will fetch the Observer back, after all, he cannot attract other Observers' kin.

This clan has one member in every multiverse, their strength extremely formidable." (End of chapter)
