🕑 Added 2024-05-19 06:32:12 +0000 UTCNot Long Ago
Within the Battle Realm, the Scarlet Witch Wanda emerged victorious in her third bout, her red dress flowing as she claimed her win.
High above, the Grandmaster made his appearance, sending her to Peter's universe with a mere wave of his hand. Then, with a terrifying display of power, he crushed her opponent's universe single-handedly.
After annihilating the universe, he collected the primal energy left behind from its destruction, infusing it into Peter's universe to reinforce its barriers.
However, while the Grandmaster was preoccupied with his tasks, he remained unaware that within the Battle Realm he created, many powerful beings from various universes had formed a true alliance.
...
"Can we really succeed this time?"
In the heart of the Battle Realm, dozens of powerful figures from different universes gathered, ready to put their plan into action. Despite their preparation, doubt lingered in their hearts.
"Don't worry. With all of us combined, we can unleash a power far beyond imagination!"
Tony stood at the forefront, his confidence evident. He had been chosen to bear the collective power of everyone present.
The choice was obvious: his Godslayer Armor was the best suited to absorb and amplify their combined strength in a single, devastating burst.
"Everyone, let's work together and give our all to execute the plan we've devised."
Everything was in place, and the group stood behind Tony. Captain America, positioned at the center, addressed the assembly with a resolute expression. He then turned to Tony.
"Tony, are you ready? The success of this mission depends on you."
"Don't worry, everyone. We will succeed."
Despite his earlier confidence, the intense focus of the group on him made Tony feel the weight of responsibility. Nonetheless, he clenched his fist and spoke with determination.
"Godslayer Armor, initiate assembly."
Tony turned slowly, looking up at the sky. In the next moment, a massive metallic armor, reminiscent of a giant god, appeared in the void above.
Though its eyes were dark and lifeless, its sheer presence exuded a powerful sense of danger.
"I never imagined I could summon and control the Godslayer Armor so effortlessly."
Tony stared at the sky, marveling at the sight of his most powerful creation. This universe's unique rules had allowed the armor, typically an external device, to appear with Tony and integrate seamlessly with him, ready for summoning at will.
Perhaps only Tony, clad in the Godslayer Armor, could stand a chance against these godlike beings from other universes.
"This armor grants me the true power to wield it."
Tony Stark from a particular universe had stumbled upon the Godslayer Armor by accident. True to its name, this armor possessed the power to kill gods.
However, in previous battles, Tony had never managed to unleash its full potential. Now, the unique rules of this universe bestowed upon him the ability to truly harness the armor's power.
"I won't let you down!"
With a roar, Tony shot into the sky, rapidly approaching the Godslayer Armor's chest. In response, the armor's cockpit opened, enveloping Tony within.
In an instant, the cockpit sealed shut. The Godslayer Armor's eyes lit up with brilliant light, energy swirling within as if it had come to life.
The Godslayer Armor... activated!
...
"Is it finally starting?"
On the ground below, countless eyes were fixed on the Godslayer Armor, which now seemed to pulse with life. There was a palpable excitement among the crowd.
"Everyone, the real action is about to begin. Get ready..."
Captain America, with his natural leadership, spoke calmly, his resolute gaze inspiring everyone present. In the next moment, all eyes turned towards the towering Godslayer Armor in the sky.
Suddenly, waves of immense power erupted from each person present.
For the first time, dozens of powerful beings from various universes unleashed their full strength simultaneously. The sheer force of their combined energy caused the entire universe to tremble slightly.
Boom... Crack!
Even though the sky was clear, terrifying thunder roared continuously. The intense power distorted the space around them.
"Everyone, don't hold back. Channel all your energy towards Tony!"
Captain America, joining in the energy gathering, felt the collective power reach its peak and shouted without hesitation. He raised his arms, aiming at Tony in the Godslayer Armor above.
In the next moment, a brilliant golden energy surged from the top of his helmet, flowing down his arms and shooting out with incredible force.
Zzzzzz...
With Captain America's call, everyone who had gathered their energy to the extreme released it towards Tony simultaneously.
The unleashed energy from dozens of universe-level powerhouses, capable of destroying planets with ease, caused the entire universe to shake violently.
The spatial fabric itself seemed to twist and teeter on the brink of collapse.
In an instant, countless streams of energy converged on the Godslayer Armor.
Tony's suit, rather than breaking under the immense pressure, shone even brighter, radiating an intense golden light. It hung in the sky like a blinding star.
"Wow, this feeling of immense power is truly incredible..."
No one felt the surge of energy more intensely than Tony himself. He could clearly sense the wild, vast power pouring into his "body" all at once. At that moment, it felt like he could shatter an entire universe with a single punch. The strength was intoxicating.
"Tony, don't lose yourself in this power."
"Remember, our goal is to break through this universe's barriers so we can all escape."
The energy-gathering process lasted for over ten seconds. On the ground, everyone gradually ceased their energy output. Captain America, almost completely drained, shouted urgently at Tony above, barely acknowledging his own exhaustion.
At this moment, the fate of everyone depended entirely on Tony, just like the energy now concentrated in him.
"Can they really succeed?"
Even those not part of the plan couldn't help but look skyward with anticipation.
"For everyone!"
In the sky, even without Captain America's reminder, Tony would never let himself be overwhelmed by the power. He gazed into the void, feeling the immense force of collective will behind him. His eyes were filled with determination.
This time, he could not afford to fail.
...
"Damn it, what are those fools doing?"
Outside the void of the universe, the Grandmaster had just integrated the collected cosmic essence into the universe where Peter resided when he felt an intense tremor emanating from his pocket universe. His expression changed dramatically as he instantly vanished, rushing back to his creation.
"Are they insane? How dare they attempt such a thing?"
Upon reentering the pocket universe, he was shocked at the scene before him. He had never imagined these beings, who hadn't transcended their universes, would dare to act in such defiance. It was akin to ants rebelling against the rule of a god—utterly unthinkable!
"No, I won't let you insects succeed."
A surge of fury distorted the Grandmaster's features as his colossal form materialized in the void, overshadowing the entire combat universe.
"Damn it, he's back so soon?"
The sudden reappearance of the Grandmaster at such a critical moment caused everyone's faces to pale. Tension filled the air.
"We must succeed!"
All eyes turned skyward, filled with hope and prayer. Tony, clad in the Godslayer Armor, also wore a grave expression. There was no time for second thoughts.
He had already concentrated all the energy, ready to unleash an earth-shattering, universe-breaking strike.
Blinding light gathered at the chest of the Godslayer Armor, its brilliance outshining even the stars. The immense energy caused the armor to tremble, straining under the pressure.
"Ahhh!"
As the energy reached its peak, Tony screamed in agony, channeling the unbearable power. A terrifying beam erupted from his armor's chest, piercing the sky as if to shatter the entire universe. The combat universe trembled violently under the assault.
Boom… Crack!
The sky above fractured, splitting with visible cracks.
"Can we really succeed?"
Everyone watched the void, eyes wide with excitement, as the energy tore through the sky, creating a vast rift. Victory seemed within reach.
"No! I will stop you!"
Sensing the terrifying energy, the Grandmaster instantly realized that the combat universe's barriers couldn't withstand such an assault. Yet, he didn't despair. His presence alone was a formidable defense.
As the Grandmaster's fury intensified, countless stars appeared in the sky. Their radiant light quickly linked together, forming a mysterious star map. The universe, on the brink of collapse, began to stabilize as the star map took shape.
"No, this can't be happening!"
Tony's eyes filled with disbelief and frustration as he saw the universe mending under the star map's influence. Gritting his teeth, he redoubled his efforts, releasing even more of the terrifying energy from his armor.
Crack!
His relentless assault once again started to break the stabilized space. The star map, glowing dimmer under the relentless energy, seemed unable to hold.
A massive black hole, a gateway out of the universe, loomed on the horizon.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, the Grandmaster's massive form dissipated into countless points of light, vanishing into the universe.
"What’s going on?"
Everyone stared in confusion at the unfolding scene. "Did he give up?" someone speculated, finding it hard to believe.
"Look at the star map! It's getting brighter!"
A voice filled with shock drew all eyes to the star map, which, now recharged with the Grandmaster's light, shone more brilliantly than before.
"This isn't good!"
Everyone understood what this meant. Under the star map's radiant glow, the black hole began to close, the universe mending itself at a visible pace.
"We can't let this happen. Everyone, pour more energy into Tony!"
Captain America, sensing the crisis, immediately spoke up. Without hesitation, he gathered his remaining strength and sent it towards Tony's Godslayer Armor.
The others, recognizing their last chance, did the same, channeling their energy towards Tony, even those who had initially doubted the plan joined in.
"This is… the power of everyone!"
Tony, struggling against the Grandmaster's star map, suddenly felt a renewed surge of energy. His eyes gleamed with determination.
Transforming his excitement into fury, he pushed the Godslayer Armor to its limits.
With a final, desperate push, Tony's energy tore through the universe's barriers once more, leaving a deep, gaping black hole.
"Impossible!"
The Grandmaster, hidden within the star map, watched in disbelief as the united force of the rebels overwhelmed his defenses. His face twisted with incredulity.
To make matters worse, at this critical juncture, a new figure appeared outside the universe.
"Looks like I arrived just in time!"
