#369 - The emergence of the Living Tribunal! A terrorist organization that transcends diversity!
"Shut up." Wang said with a dark face, glaring at Deadpool. "Do you really want us to be attacked by the Phoenix Force?"
Instantly covering his mouth, Deadpool quickly said in a muffled voice, "Sorry, I just feel that, at least I'm considered the main character, and you guys should be the main supporting characters, but we can only hide here in embarrassment."
"Then I think we can throw you outside," Wolverine said, glancing at Deadpool.
Deadpool immediately shut up.
Although he clamored to be the main character, Deadpool was very clear that even the slightest insignificant aftermath of the battle outside was not something he could withstand.
If he were really thrown out, Deadpool would probably die without a burial place in a short moment.
Although his self-healing ability was powerful, it was clear that when facing the Phoenix Force, any degree of self-healing and immortality was meaningless.
Inside the Mirror Dimension.
Luo Fu, directly facing the Phoenix Force, truly felt not the powerful destructive force of the Phoenix Force, but a mental power so strong that it made people tremble.
You must know that the essence of the Phoenix Force is the connection point of the mental minds of all things that exist or will exist in the infinite multiverse, and is the creator and source of mental power.
And the effect of destruction is just the appearance of the Phoenix Force.
Every attack of the Phoenix Force is not simply aimed at the present, but covers the timeline of the past, present, and future and infinite possibilities.
Yes, even the possibility itself is within the attack range of the Phoenix Force.
In this case, facing the attack of the Phoenix Force, any dodging or resistance is meaningless. You can only resist it head-on.
From this point of view, it is reasonable that Wolverine was able to stab Dark Phoenix to death with his claws in a certain parallel universe timeline.
After all, he really relied on his self-healing ability to withstand the erupting Phoenix Force and rushed to Dark Phoenix's face.
In the final analysis, the power of the Phoenix Force still depends on the host itself, and when the host dies, the Phoenix Force will not be relentless.
And Luo Fu, facing the Phoenix Force, is ostensibly fighting and killing Dark Phoenix in the Mirror Dimension.
But in fact, this kind of battle and killing goes deep into the multiverse, the infinite past and the future.
In the Iron Man universe, Tony Stark, who had just killed Iron Monger, was preparing to give Pepper Potts a hug, but the next moment, a breeze blew by, whether it was Pepper Potts, who opened her arms and rushed towards Tony Stark, or the countless Stark Group employees and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around.
Under this breeze, all of them instantly turned into powder.
Even Iron Man himself was lucky enough to escape because of a sudden stagger under his feet and fell into a space portal that opened inexplicably.
And in the Mirror Space, he witnessed all of this happening.
Tony Stark's eyes were tearing apart, and he roared angrily: "No, damn it, what the hell is going on?"
"This is caused by the aftermath of the battle between two powerhouses who have surpassed the multiverse."
A sudden voice immediately attracted Tony Stark's attention.
With red eyes, Tony Stark gritted his teeth and said: "You mean, Pepper Potts and so many people were killed just because of the aftermath of the battle between two powerhouses... just like that?"
"It's not just being killed." A bald mage in a yellow monk robe came to Tony Stark with a compassionate expression and explained: "Everything about them has completely disappeared, including the traces of their existence in this world."
"What do you mean?" Tony Stark frowned, a ominous premonition flashing in his mind.
"Just as you thought, the traces of these people who died in the aftermath of the battle between the two powerhouses have disappeared even in time, which means that now, except for you and me, no one on our earth remembers them anymore, whether it is heaven or hell, there is no trace of them! Understand?"
"Damn it." Tony Stark instantly became extremely irritable, gritting his teeth and saying: "Tell me, how can I save all of this?"
"I don't know." Gu Yi shook his head and said: "Dying in this way, perhaps... perhaps only the two powerhouses who started it all can do something."
"Then tell me how to find them."
Tony Stark almost laughed out of anger.
"These two son of a bitches, they killed Potts, but not only can't I take revenge, but I also want to beg them?"
Gu Yi nodded seriously and said: "That's right, because in the eyes of such powerhouses, even if we exhaust everything, it is meaningless."
Seemingly afraid that Tony Stark would not understand what such a powerhouse meant, Gu Yi explained: "Don't let hatred affect your wisdom. You need to understand that the actions of such a powerhouse can even change a universe, or even a parallel universe, perhaps just because of their casual power burst, it will completely disappear and cease to exist."
"Tell me, what can I do to save all of this?" Tony Stark looked at Gu Yi in despair.
"I said, I will help you." Gu Yi nodded. Dao: "If you want to save all of this, you must first understand who caused all of this! These two fighting powerhouses, one is an Outer God on par with the Five Great Creation Gods, and the other is born at the beginning of all things, is a chaotic and immortal, eternal but impermanent existence, the Phoenix Force!"
"Wait, you said God? Creation God? God? GOD?" Tony Stark widened his eyes.
He could understand the concepts of parallel universes and multiverses at the beginning. But the appearance of the Creation God made him unable to hold back.
"Tony, you have to understand that sometimes, the existence crowned with the name of God is not necessarily unscientific, it's just that science hasn't reached the level where it can explain the existence of God!"
"OK, OK, OK." Tony Stark raised his hands and said: "Then tell me, how can I save them!"
"Go and beg the Outer God with more innocent people who have been affected by the aftermath of this battle, beg for his mercy!"
Tony Stark was really reluctant to accept Gu Yi's suggestion.
It's just that, in his opinion, they are clearly the victims, but now, as the victims, they have to beg the perpetrators.
But in order to save Pepper Potts, even if he was unwilling in his heart, Tony Stark could only choose to accept it.
At this moment, Luo Fu, who was in the midst of battling Black Phoenix, was unaware that his fight with Black Phoenix was about to give rise to a powerful organization spanning multiple universes.
This powerful organization, which would be feared by countless people in the future timeline, was initially born from a group of victims begging their tormentors.
In the timeline of Marvel's Iron Man, countless people were completely annihilated in the aftermath of Luo Fu and Black Phoenix's battle.
And in more timelines and more universes, the impact of the aftermath of their battle continued to expand.
X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, Asgard... In countless parallel universes, the battle between Luo Fu and Black Phoenix brought about immeasurable and terrifying casualties.
As more and more innocent people were affected.
With the existence of Kamar-Taj, these victims gradually united, forming a chilling alliance.
In the eyes of beings like the Five Cosmic Entities and Luo Fu, an organization spanning multiple universes was nothing more than easily crushed ants, but in the eyes of many more, such an organization was already powerful enough to make people tremble.
At the very least, regardless of the organization's initial purpose.
Its foundation alone was enough to rival the Time Variance Authority.
And with the emergence of this organization, Luo Fu, the Outer God, gradually became a far-reaching and influential figure.
In the Mirror Dimension, the battle between Luo Fu and Black Phoenix seemed to be just a simple manipulation and collision of energy, but in reality, their battle was causing irreparable damage to the multiverse.
As the intensity of the battle further increased.
One figure after another began to appear in the Mirror Dimension.
Within the Mirror Dimension, Wang, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Professor X, who were hiding in the double-layered Mirror Space to avoid being affected by the aftermath of Luo Fu and Black Phoenix's battle.
Soon, they sensed terrifying presences besides Luo Fu and Black Phoenix, presences that were equally impossible to look directly at.
Especially Wang, his gaze fixed on another figure that could not be defined by common sense.
Although this figure's appearance could not be clearly seen, Ancient One had hinted to Wang before leaving this world to follow the Living Tribunal.
And at this moment, in Wang's eyes, that great figure was almost indistinguishable from the Living Tribunal mentioned by Ancient One before.
In other words, the owner of this figure was very likely the Living Tribunal.
Having also seen these figures, compared to Wolverine and Professor X, who were already too shocked to speak.
The two Deadpools fell into an argument.
"No, you bastard, is your brain filled with crap? Those few must be the Five Cosmic Entities, maybe even Death is among them, that's our rumored girlfriend." Deadpool pointed remotely at one of the great figures.
The native Deadpool slapped away the other version of himself's arm, saying, "Are you crazy, you idiot? No matter who that is, aren't you afraid of being killed by them for pointing like that?"
"What do you know?" Deadpool said confidently, "I'm pointing at Death, that's our rumored girlfriend, although I've never seen Death! But I'm sure, that must be Death."
As if the figure in another universe had heard Deadpool's words, it glanced inadvertently in the direction of the Mirror Space.
In that instant, everyone in the Mirror Space, whether it was Wolverine and the two Deadpools with their healing abilities, or Professor X with his powerful mental energy, or Wang, all felt as if they were being stared at by an immense terror.
It was an indescribable feeling, like facing the natural enemy of a lifeform.
Fortunately, this gaze left the Mirror Space in an instant.
Otherwise, if the staring time had been slightly longer, there probably wouldn't have been any living people left in the Mirror Space.
"Huff... Huff... Huff..." Wolverine breathed heavily.
And Wang and Professor X were instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Still shaken, Wolverine took a few deep breaths before instantly looking at Deadpool, angrily extending his Adamantium claws, and stabbing them into Deadpool's body.
"You damn bastard, if you don't want us all to be killed by you, shut your stinking mouth, otherwise, I'll personally let you know that having a healing ability isn't necessarily a good thing."
At this moment, Deadpool didn't dare to retort, nodding repeatedly, and was about to speak, but the moment he opened his mouth, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Indignant, Wolverine pulled out his claws, glaring fiercely at Deadpool.
That gaze just now, from a being that almost wiped out everyone in the Mirror Space, was indeed, as Deadpool had guessed, one of the Five Cosmic Entities, the specific personification of the concept of Death, Death itself.
And whether it was the two Deadpools, or Wolverine, Professor X, and Wang, as lifeforms, they instinctively felt immense threat and fear the moment they were noticed by Death.
Within the Mirror Universe.
Besides the Five Cosmic Entities who were on par with the Outer God Luo Fu, there were very few who could truly stop Luo Fu and the Phoenix Force.
And the only one who appeared was the Living Tribunal.
Check for errors in the original version!
The Living Tribunal is the supreme deity who governs the infinite-dimensional universe, responsible for restarting, repairing, or destroying those damaged or meaningless multiverses. Simply put, the Living Tribunal is almost capable of controlling everything in the Marvel Universe.
Now, the battle between Luo Fu and the Phoenix Force had undoubtedly affected the duties of the Living Tribunal.
After appearing, the Living Tribunal almost immediately descended in front of Luo Fu and Black Phoenix.
The Living Tribunal, with its elusive form, merely glanced at Black Phoenix, and the Phoenix Force on Black Phoenix's body was instantly expelled.
Having lost her host as the Phoenix Force, whether it was the Black Phoenix personality, or Jean Grey, or the body with mutant abilities, were all wiped out in an instant by the Living Tribunal's power.
Having resolved Black Phoenix, the Living Tribunal then turned its gaze to Luo Fu.
But unlike dealing with Black Phoenix, where it directly took action.
This time, the Living Tribunal merely glanced at Luo Fu in a warning manner, and its form slowly disappeared in place.
With the departure of the Living Tribunal. Many onlookers also left the Mirror Universe one by one.
And Luo Fu, with a calm expression, stared in the direction where the many great powers had left, as if in the dark, in the realm of thought, he was communicating with many great beings.
As a being on par with the Five Cosmic Entities.
Luo Fu, the Outer God, was essentially different from the Five Cosmic Entities.
The Five Cosmic Entities are the personification of time, space, death, and nothingness of the Marvel Universe itself.
The Planet Eater, although also listed as one of the five great creation gods, is fundamentally different from the other four.
Luo Fu, however, is unlike any of the five great creation gods.
The status of an Outer God is more like a cheat attached to the Marvel Universe. Although it perfectly fits with the Marvel Universe, and even the Marvel Multiverse has traces of Luo Fu's existence.
Correspondingly, Luo Fu is incompatible with the entire Marvel Universe.
He is the embodiment of a concept external to the universe itself, one that should not exist.
It's like forcibly dividing the authority of the universe itself.
Apart from OAA, even the Heart of the Universe cannot force Luo Fu with power.
Perhaps this is why, even though the Living Tribunal appeared just now, after obliterating the host of the Phoenix Force, it only glanced at Luo Fu as a warning before disappearing.
In terms of power level, status, and so on, Luo Fu is indeed inferior to beings surpassing the five great creation gods, the Phoenix Force, the Ultimate Nullifier, and the Vengeance Goddess, but his concept is beyond even the Living Tribunal's interference.
Within a special realm of thought.
When Luo Fu's consciousness returned, it seemed that his recent communication with many powerful beings had enlightened him in some way.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Luo Fu's face.
With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the mirror universe.
Having lost the existence of the mirror universe, Wang and the others within the double mirror space involuntarily returned to the real universe.
As soon as Luo Fu and the others appeared, the Ancient One, in her soul form, went directly to Luo Fu, bowed, and said, "Your Eminence, I must leave. I hope you can spread your glory upon the mages of Kamar-Taj, allowing them to inherit your power."
The moment she finished speaking, the Ancient One's figure vanished into thin air.
At the same time, Cassandra Nova Xavier said excitedly, "Your Eminence, those dimensional demon gods have been dealt with."
Nodding slightly, Luo Fu said, "Cassandra, as my apostle, you must spread my glory."
"It is my honor, Your Eminence," Cassandra Nova Xavier said, eagerly bowing with her hand on her chest.
In the next moment, a vast amount of information instantly flooded into Cassandra Nova Xavier's brain.
Within her body, a wave of power fluctuations incompatible with the entire Marvel Universe began to appear.
Chakra, spirit particles, bloodline energy, innate Qi, martial arts true energy, radiation true energy... and so on, all poured into Cassandra Nova Xavier's consciousness.
Even with her already powerful psychic abilities, Cassandra Nova Xavier was still somewhat dizzy from the influx of information.
However, after accepting this information, her face was instantly filled with surprise.
Each of these systems had the potential to grant her power, and more importantly, because they were backed by Luo Fu, an Outer God, even though they represented wisdom, knowledge, and power from outside the universe, they could still operate unhindered within the universe.
Luo Fu's current actions were like giving Cassandra Nova Xavier countless choices.
Each of these systems could provide Cassandra Nova Xavier with unprecedented benefits.
As the person involved, Cassandra Nova Xavier knew very well that she didn't have many opportunities to choose.
It would be impractical to try to master all of these different systems; she didn't have the energy. She could only choose one as her primary focus, with the others being, at most, secondary pursuits.
Cassandra Nova Xavier immediately chose Chakra, a system combining spiritual and physical energy.
The abilities of mutants come from their genes, and Cassandra Nova Xavier, like her brother Professor X, had gained powerful mental abilities because of her mutant powers.
The combination of the two, to some extent, perfectly matched the Chakra system.
In this situation, how could Cassandra Nova Xavier make any other choice?
Luo Fu's purpose in choosing Cassandra Nova Xavier as his apostle was certainly not just to give her benefits.
In Luo Fu's eyes, having given Cassandra Nova Xavier benefits, she needed to spread his glory.
Unfortunately, in this universe, Quake, or rather Daisy, had died along with many X-Men during the Black Phoenix's outburst.
However, compared to Daisy, Cassandra Nova Xavier was actually more suitable to become Luo Fu's apostle.
Luo Fu then entrusted Cassandra Nova Xavier with the task of spreading the Outer God system.
With Cassandra Nova Xavier as the leader and Wang, the current Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, as the assistant, they began to spread the Outer God system, starting with Kamar-Taj in this universe.
As for those dimensional demon gods who had planned to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, at the moment when many powerful beings from other universes descended into the mirror space, countless dimensional demon gods, hell lords, and overlords chose to flee in the first instant, hiding in their own dimensions, living in constant fear.
Luo Fu was, after all, an Outer God, an existence on par with the five great creation gods, beyond even the judgment of the Living Tribunal.
Of course, this wasn't to say that Luo Fu was truly generous enough to let those dimensional demon gods go. On the contrary, Luo Fu regarded those dimensional demon gods as targets for gaining experience under his Outer God system.
As Kamar-Taj gradually changed its ways and embarked on Luo Fu's path of the Outer God, those dimensional demon gods who had previously planned to snatch food from the tiger's mouth would, without exception, face Luo Fu's revenge.
While Luo Fu began to quell the series of chaotic situations caused by the Black Phoenix's outburst of Phoenix Force in this mutant universe.
In the universe where Luo Fu was born.
A spatial gate suddenly opened in the sky above the Pacific Ocean.
Accompanying the appearance of the spatial gate.
The first to be on high alert were the members of the Avengers.
"Damn it, are we going to face another alien invasion?"
In the Avengers headquarters, while experimenting with his new armor with a few teammates.
Tony Stark received a message from S.H.I.E.L.D.
A spatial gate, even larger than the one during the Battle of New York, had appeared above the Pacific Ocean.
However, there was currently no activity coming from within the spatial gate.
There was no grand invasion.
Just as Tony Stark saw the huge spatial gate above the Pacific Ocean through the satellite, all the members of the Avengers were stunned.
