Just as Chen Tian and Sentinel were engaged in a fierce battle in an unknown Planet.
In the shattered dimensional rifts, several strangely shaped energy masses silently surged.
Space fragments, like broken glass, floated around them, only to be crushed into finer dust by an invisible force.
This place was once the graveyard after a sub-dimension's annihilation, and now it had become the most secret trash bin, perfect for discussing unspeakable dealings.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," a red mist, with dark yellow molten rock churning within, was the first to let out a harsh, sandpaper-like laugh. It was the projection of the Hell Lord, Mephisto.
"Look at our exalted Lady Death Woman! She certainly scurried away from the material plane with her tail between her legs! She even abandoned her new toy to be a punching bag! My carefully packaged 'outsider' intelligence, her ladyship probably didn't even unwrap it before suffering a huge setback! How disgraceful, utterly disgraceful!"
The molten rock violently boiled within his form's core, mimicking a gleefully deranged posture.
"Enough, Mephisto!" Another massive black mist, with shattered rainbow lights flickering within—Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension—let out a muffled roar, shaking the surrounding dimensional fragments, causing them to fall clattering.
"Mocking Death? You and I both know the power of that 'outsider'! He tore through my dimensional barrier like tearing a piece of scrap paper! Every time he appears, the energy fluctuations on him become even more terrifying… It's only because his weakness lies in not knowing the coordinates of our dimensions, otherwise, all of us… would merely be lambs to the slaughter!"
The core of that black mist violently contracted, its rainbow lights flickering erratically, revealing an undeniable sense of dread.
"Hehehehe!" A deep green mist twisted, with serpentine dark shadows swiftly moving within, emitting Nightmare's bone-chilling, eerie laughter.
"Dormammu, look at you, so scared out of your wits! The Dark Dimension ruler who once devoured Planets, now only dares to cower and tremble in your battered old lair? You don't even dare to mend your shattered dimension, constantly shifting coordinates like a startled gopher?"
The deep green mist arrogantly expanded, almost touching Dormammu's black mist, "Odin has gone to his Valhalla, Ancient One has gone to Eternity's embrace! Blue Star, that tiny yet delicious Planet, its dimensional barrier has never been as fragile as it is now! The Sorcerer Supreme's position is still vacant! This is a window granted to us by the Universe! If we don't seize this opportunity to tear open the barrier and fully enjoy the billions of fresh, terrified, and nourishing souls on that Planet, then when?! Are we waiting for Chen Tian, that bane, to come back for a vacation and bask in the Sun?"
A greedy aura permeated the air.
"Fool!" Another deep red light mist suddenly surged, with eerie dark green runes flickering within it. That was the will projection of the ancient Loki, Chthon.
His voice was cold and sharp, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue: "Tear open the dimensional barrier? You say it so easily! Nightmare, are you living too comfortably? With Chen Tian's vindictive, malicious, and ruthless personality, would he leave Blue Star, this fat piece of meat, unguarded? Believe it or not, the moment we tear open the passage and try to descend, he will already have followed our dimensional coordinates, like a shark smelling blood, and pounced in to kill us!"
The deep red mist violently churned, and the dark green runes became incredibly dazzling.
"A trap! That is absolutely a huge, meticulously laid, deadly trap! Waiting for us 'unwise' dimensional lords to step into it ourselves! Look at Dormammu!"
Chthon's light pointed to the cowering black mist, "More than a third of his massive Dark Dimension has been burned into absolute void by that bane with that damned White flame! What is he doing now? Not repairing, but like a stray dog, frantically and continuously shifting the coordinates of his entire dimension! Why? Because he's afraid! He's afraid Chen Tian will follow the residual coordinate aura from last time and directly kill his way into the core lair of his Dark Dimension! You want us to actively expose our coordinates? Nightmare, do you want to drag everyone to be buried with you?!"
"Hey, I almost forgot about you, the exiled lord of an outer dimension. Your created magic, becoming the plaything of Chen Tian's lover, are you angry? Can you only rage impotently? How shameful." Nightmare retorted.
Fierce arguments echoed in the shattered dimension, with various negative energies violently colliding, making this land of Death even more chaotic.
Molten rock boiling, rainbow shattered, snake shadows dancing wildly, runes flickering… The chaotic energy turbulence almost tore apart this fragile projection gathering.
"Quiet!"
A grand, inhuman will, as if composed of billions of superimposed voices, like a Universe storm, instantly swept through the entire shattered dimension.
All the restless demon god projections instantly froze, and the energy collisions abruptly ceased.
In the core of the last emerald green light mist, an immense eye, covered in bloodshot veins and eerie patterns, slowly turned.
Cold, indifferent, with an ancientness that transcended time and a cruelty that saw through everything—the Eye Demon, Shuma-Gorath.
His gaze swept over all the demon god projections, and finally, as if substantial, it pierced through the chaotic dimensional barrier, distantly "looking" towards the azure Planet in the material Universe.
That giant eye clearly reflected the lonely outline of Blue Star in the vast Universe, and the dimensional barrier surrounding it, as fragile as a cracked eggshell.
Deep within the giant pupil, a trace of pure, emotionless greed and cruelty quietly emerged.
"Sorcerer Supreme's power… has not yet returned." The Eye Demon's billions of superimposed wills boomed again, each word containing undeniable power, "The barrier… is as thin as a cicada's wing. Fear… is spreading deep within billions of souls…"
The giant eye turned, its cold gaze sweeping over every demon god present.
"The feast of souls… has been laid out." The Eye Demon's will was like a cold iron hammer, striking the core of every demon god projection, "The time for harvesting… is now."
He paused, and the bloodshot veins in the giant eye seemed to come alive, subtly wriggling.
"Who… is willing to miss it?"
In the shattered dimensional rifts, there was a deathly silence.
Greed, fear, madness, calculation… countless emotions silently churned and battled within the silent projections.
The Eye Demon's words tore open all the high-sounding excuses, laying the most naked temptation before them: the souls of billions of living beings! They were right there! The barrier was unprecedentedly fragile!
The Guardian was unprecedentedly weak! The only sword hanging over their heads, Chen Tian, was currently busy fighting fiercely with the golden sandbag left by Death in who knows which deep Planet!
The numerous pawns previously laid out on Blue Star had been almost entirely eradicated by Chen Tian. If they missed this chance, would there be another opportunity? The Eye Demon's gaze was like a cold searchlight, illuminating the most primitive desires in the heart of every demon god.
Mephisto's sinister laughter broke the silence: "Hehehe… My Lord Eye Demon is right, with a feast before us, how can we be absent? But then again…"
The red light in his molten rock core flickered eerily, "Chen Tian is smart for a lifetime, but foolish for a moment! He thought he cleared Devon County? The 'door' in that place, I can open it whenever I want! He can't even find the door hinge!"
"Hehehe!" Nightmare's green mist excitedly churned, snake shadows dancing wildly, "What a coincidence! You have a door, and I have a key! The current United States President, General Ross… has long been my 'sleepwalker'! Otherwise, why do you think he's been spending money like crazy on that 'Star Program'? Hehe, I even gave him an upgrade—Hulk? Outdated! He's now 'Red Hulk'! Fuel for rage is plentiful! As long as I give a gentle push…"
He let out a morbid, shrill laugh, "Hehe, Mephisto, as soon as your artificial 'earthquake' sounds, my Red Hulk can immediately push the panic to its peak! Chaos is the best coordinate signal!"
The dark green runes in Chthon's deep red light mist flickered sinisterly: "Since you all have cards… then I'll add one. Ancient One's 'good disciple' Mordo, I've long planted a seed of darkness in him. The Darkhold in his hand is not just for show. He's currently 'cultivating' very 'deeply'… He can 'wake up' at any time and… nail a few more nails into the Sorcerer Supreme's coffin lid! Coupled with Nightmare's actions, disrupting Kamar-Taj's remaining forces, it's enough."
Dormammu's massive rainbow black mist suddenly paused, then violently churned, revealing a thick sense of helplessness and frustration: "What the f*ck?! You… you old foxes!!!"
The rainbow lights in the black mist flickered wildly, showing the intense fluctuations in his heart, "You've been laying so many traps behind my back?! A President! A former Sorcerer Supreme disciple! And a door key?!" He suddenly choked, as if frantically searching through his own inventory, "What about me?! What do I have?? Kaecilius?! Damn it… he was crushed to Death!!! (╯°Д°)-╯︵ ┻━┻!!! This makes me look so stupid!!!"
His black mist fumed like a punctured balloon, rainbow lights flashing wildly, and his entire projection unstably expanded and contracted. The dignified ruler of the Dark Dimension now looked like a primary school student who realized he hadn't brought his homework, so embarrassed at the demon god meeting that he wanted to explode on the spot.
"Very good… The dark pieces… are in place."
The red light in Mephisto's molten rock core suddenly jumped, his triumph almost overflowing: "Hehehe! My Lord Eye Demon, just you wait and see! The 'door' in Devon County is on me! I guarantee I'll help everyone thoroughly investigate the 'anti-theft lock' Chen Tian left behind!" The red mist arrogantly expanded and churned.
"Hmph!", "Hehehe!", "Heh…" Several responses with different meanings sounded.
"Then…" The Eye Demon's grand will carried a sense of dominance, "Mephisto… act."
"At your command! Watch me!" Mephisto's light mist violently surged, the dark yellow molten rock within boiling. He seemed to be fully activating a trans-dimensional link. The light mist churned for a moment, then abruptly fell silent.
The next second—
"Ahhhhhh—!!!" A shrill scream, so distorted it warped the dimensional fragments, suddenly burst from Mephisto's red mist!
Dead silence!
All the surging light mists instantly solidified! Nightmare's snake shadows froze in mid-air, Chthon's runes stopped flickering, and Dormammu's wildly flashing rainbow lights all paused.
"Mephisto?!"
"Old Mephisto?!!"
"What's going on?!"
The demon gods' uncertain wills intertwined.
Mephisto's light mist violently twitched: "A trap!! Chen Tian's trap!! Right at the door!! Right at the door where I just put the key!!!"
"What is it?!" Chthon's voice was sharp and piercing.
"What is it?!" Nightmare's will carried panic.
Mephisto's light mist twitched even more violently, the light from his molten rock core dimming slightly. After a long pause, he finally squeezed out a sentence:
"Uh… a… a human… wearing dark green… heavy armor?!"
A brief silence.
"Hmph!" Chthon was the first to let out a disdainful snort, "Human?! That's it? Mephisto, you peed your pants because of a human?"
"Hehehehe!" Nightmare instantly relaxed, letting out a piercing, strange laugh, "An insect in an iron can? Old Mephisto, you've really made something of yourself!"
Even the resentful Dormammu couldn't help it; multi-colored lights flickered wildly within his black mist. Although he didn't speak, the emotion of "Is that all you amount to?" was exceptionally clear.
Mephisto's light mist nearly exploded with rage, but the terrifying oppressive feeling emanating from that 'human,' which was almost tearing his avatar apart, still lingered, leaving him momentarily speechless to retort.
"Enough!" Eyeball Demon's icy will suppressed all the noise, "Begin!"
Its enormous pupil swept over Mephisto, Nightmare, Chthon, and finally even glanced at Dormammu.
"Chaos… Fear… Coordinates lit… I shall descend."
A terrifying will, filled with the greed to devour all, declared:
"I… want to see… how strong this 'outsider' who can make Death retreat… truly is!"
——————
Hell Dimension, the Hall of Scarlet Scorched Earth.
Mephisto's gigantic true demon form paced restlessly, magma-like blood surging beneath his molten skin. He tilted his grotesque head, growing more irritated the more he thought about it.
"Damn it!" He spat fiercely, the molten rock sizzling as it hit the ground, "Scared witless by Chen Tian? A mere human in an iron can dares to make me, an avatar, scream? What a disgrace for a demon, a total disgrace!"
He felt like a scared child at the dimensional meeting, especially recalling Chthon's clear snort, Nightmare's piercing, strange laugh, and Dormammu's barely contained disdain. A surge of unholy anger welled up.
"Shame! This is the shame of Hell!" He roared, the sound waves shaking the stalactites on the palace ceiling, causing them to fall. "Open the gate! Launch a full invasion for me! Bring me the souls of those ants in Devon County…"
Before he finished speaking, the heavy palace gates were crashed open with a "bang"!
A demon Guardian, reeking of sulfurous black smoke and with half a wing bald, stumbled and crawled in, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "My Lord, My Lord! It's bad! That… that iron-clad human! He… he's broken in!!"
Mephisto's scarlet pupils suddenly contracted: "What are you talking about? Who broke in?!"
"At the 'gate'! The connection point to Devon County! That human in dark green iron armor! He kills every demon he sees! Our brothers can't hold him, My Lord!!"
Mephisto froze for a moment, then erupted in fury: "Useless! A bunch of useless trash! A single human has broken through your defenses?! You've disgraced Hell completely!" He waved his large hand, and the space before him instantly twisted, forming a scarlet light screen.
Within the light screen, the scene near the Hell Gate in Devon County was displayed.
As the image appeared, Mephisto's furious expression froze on his face.
Blood!
Hell's unique dark red blood plasma and burning severed limbs almost completely covered the entire light screen!
At the center of the image, a figure was efficiently, coldly, and almost mechanically slaughtering.
Heavy, dark green runic armor covered his entire body, dangerous energy gleamed at the joints, and his orange eye lenses glowed eerily in the dim, bloody light. His left hand gripped a thick shield with a serrated edge, and his right hand wielded a strangely shaped red greatsword.
"Bang!" The greatsword directly cleaved a charging berserker demon into pieces, blood splattering!
"Screech—!" The chain sawteeth on the shield's edge suddenly activated, letting out a piercing roar, directly tearing open another demon's chest cavity, sending internal organs and bone fragments flying!
After killing these two, he didn't even look. He flung the shield saw with his left hand, and plunged the greatsword into his back with his right, moving as fast as lightning. Simultaneously, a crude, hot-barreled shotgun appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Boom!!"
Flames spat forth, and the low-level lesser demons in a fan-shaped area were instantly blasted into dust!
Strangely, from the bodies of the demons he personally killed, wisps of scarlet energy threads would drift out, and as if attracted, quickly merge into the dark green armor.
Mephisto's scarlet eyes widened like brass bells, staring in disbelief:
The shotgun's muzzle was still smoking, but the next round had already automatically chambered.
The shallow marks carved by a high-level demon's claws on the armor instantly repaired themselves as a red glow swept over them.
Even the area on his arm that had been scorched by Hellfire was rapidly fading away!
"What the hell… is this?!" Mephisto was completely bewildered.
Killing monsters to restore health and ammo? What kind of rogue setting is this?!
He abruptly turned his head and roared at the trembling demon Guardian beside him: "Useless! Did you ask him who he is?! What kind of lunatic crawled out of some forgotten corner?!"
The Guardian shivered in fear, almost collapsing to the ground, his voice choked with tears: "We… we asked! We were scared stiff, we asked when we were begging for mercy…"
"Then who the hell is he?!!" Mephisto's roar shook the entire palace.
The Guardian hunched his neck, answering in a voice mixed with extreme fear and bewilderment:
"He… he said… My name is… DOOM!"
DOOM!
Dead silence!
On Mephisto's grotesque face, rage, astonishment, bewilderment, and a hint of being played, instantly solidified!
Doom??? Who is this????
——————
Washington D.C., the White House lawn had become a purgatory.
"Roar—!!!"
A deafening roar tore through the air. Red Hulk—the monster General Ross had transformed into—was even larger than Hulk, his muscles gnarled like dark red volcanic rock, and each punch carried a destructive Impact.
Sam, who had just arrived, narrowly grazed past a punch, black smoke billowing from his back thrusters.
"Sam!" Captain America held up his shield to block, the vibranium shield humming, his feet plowing two deep furrows in the ground. His star-spangled uniform was already damaged in several places.
"This guy is crazier than Bruce!" Tony's voice came from beneath his faceplate. He hovered in mid-air, laser cannons and miniature missiles continuously blasting Red Hulk, but only leaving shallow scorch marks on the opponent's skin.
The armor on the left arm of his Eclipse armor was twisted and deformed, sparks flying. "Friday! Battle damage report!"
Left arm transmission system failed, Eternal Core repair speed decreased, overall strength dropped below safe threshold by 40%. Recommend using 'Great Angel Protocol'.
"Damn it!" Tony spat, "Captain! This guy is off, his power index is off the charts! I have to use 'Great Angel' to deal with him."
Steve once again used his shield to take a direct hit from Red Hulk's heavy punch, using the force to retreat. He said in a deep voice: "Then use it! I need to wear my Saint Cloth too!"
Tony's faceplate popped open, revealing a wild grin: "No, Captain, I'll show you a 'new ability'." He raised his hand and looked at a non-existent wristband, "Hey, Sam, what time is it?"
Through the communicator, Sam, while tumbling awkwardly in the explosion's Impact, yelled: "Is this the time to discuss time?! I'm being swatted like a fly in the sky! Captain has his Saint Cloth, Tony you have your armor, I only have these jet wings! Quick, think of something!"
"11:55, Tony." Steve glanced at his wristband, puzzled.
"Haha! Perfect timing!" Tony laughed, "Captain, go help Sam hold him off! Attract that big guy's attention! I'll be right there!"
Steve gave Tony a deep look, then without hesitation: "Sam! Rally to me!" He violently threw his shield, hitting Red Hulk in the back of the head with a loud thud, successfully attracting the monster's fury.
Red Hulk abandoned Sam and Tony in the air, roaring as he charged towards Captain America.
Tony watched Steve lead the target away, and his faceplate 'clicked' shut. He quickly descended to a relatively intact patch of lawn.
His nanotech armor receded like a tide, retracting into the Eternal Core in his chest.
"Friday," Tony's voice held suppressed excitement, "Activate 'Sin Protocol'. It's time to try out my new 'toy'."
"Received, Boss. Sin Protocol activated, equipment deployment authorization confirmed."
Before he finished speaking, a faint whooshing sound came from the air. A black briefcase-sized metal box accurately dropped towards Tony.
The box instantly disintegrated one meter above Tony's head, scattering and disappearing like a black dust waterfall.
A palm-sized, strangely textured card floated down from it, landing steadily in Tony's palm.
The card felt warm and smooth to the touch, definitely not metal or plastic. Etched on it was a lifelike golden lion's head, its mane wild like burning golden flames. Behind the lion's head, a Sun disc also outlined by golden light emanated an invisible majesty.
At the same time—
Boom!!!
Another larger, heavier silver metal box crashed down beside Tony like a meteorite. The heavy Impact cracked and collapsed the ground, creating a shallow crater. The box automatically unlocked and slid open to both sides.
Inside, a weapon lay quietly.
It was an extremely wild and heavy great axe! The axe handle was made of some unknown golden alloy, its surface covered with profound patterns; at the grip of the axe handle, there was a circle of Sun-like spikes, with smooth curves and ferocious points. Just lying there, it exuded a terrifyingly sharp feeling that seemed to tear through anything!
Tony lowered his head, his gaze burning as he stared at the lion and Sun card in his hand. He took a deep breath and made an astonishing move.
He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the Arc Reactor in his chest!
"Click!"
Tony removed the Eternal Core, then casually tossed it away. The nanobots in the reactor automatically transformed into a small aircraft, emitting blue flames, and soared into the sky.
And Tony, without hesitation, pressed the lion and Sun card, imbued with surging power, firmly against his chest!
The moment the card touched his skin, it erupted in a brilliant golden light like the Sun! Countless golden energy patterns, centered on the card, instantly spread and covered Tony's entire chest, like a brand!
Tony tilted his head back, letting out a roar mixed with intense pain and power, his cry echoing across the battlefield:
"I am the Sun!!!"
Boom—!!!
Centered on Tony, a circle of pure, blazing golden energy erupted! Like a miniature Sun rising from the ground!
Within the golden light, a completely new figure slowly straightened its body.
