People no longer felt any sense of distance between one another, acting as wilfully as Beasts.
As long as two people, or even more than two, caught each other's eye, they would start a fierce battle right on the spot.
Tongues entwined with tongues, but what extended from their mouths were not normal organs, but rather two viscous tentacles covered in suction cups...
Yet the people passing by remained completely indifferent to this public battle, completely violating the Earthling nature of being nosy spectators, and walked right past it as if turning a blind eye!
Ryan just stood there for a little while and already saw several such battlefields!
It made Ryan want to go wash his eyes; it was simply too blinding and disgusting!
"Are the Great Old Ones treating the Earth of this Universe as a livestock farm?"
Ryan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling utter disgust in his heart.
And things he couldn't bear to look at were never kept bottled up inside without a word.
With a wave of Ryan's left hand, the power ring lit up, flying forth trailing purple brilliance and smashing heavily onto a street in Times Square.
Thump——————
Rumble——————
Following a prolonged impact sound came the massive explosion carried by the purple light, blowing the entire street to pieces!
The once-prosperous Times Square was now left with only a gigantic crater!
This was much easier on the eyes now!
Ryan nodded in satisfaction, but instead of leaving, he floated in place and quietly waited.
Sure enough, not long after, those humans in the crater below who had been blasted into absolute nothingness were actually reorganizing in a twisted, bizarre manner.
Flesh and blood rapidly proliferated like cancer cells, growing herpes-like decaying flesh that finally formed a 'humanoid' creature?
Indeed, those dead people had come back to life, but upon coming back to life, their appearance became even more nauseating.
They looked simply like a monster composed of rotting meat!
"As expected, as long as one dies in this Universe, they will be contaminated, and the more times they die, the deeper the contamination becomes..."
He had intentionally held back his strength earlier, only blowing up a single street, precisely to test this point.
Now it seemed, it was pretty much as he had thought.
"Hehe, looks like this young master hit the jackpot and found you first!"
Just as Ryan was deep in thought, a muffled voice came from afar and drew closer.
Ryan turned his head at the sound and saw a familiar red-and-gold figure dragging a trail of flame flying toward him at extreme speed.
This is... Cancerverse Iron Man, Tony Stark!
Zap——————
Before Tony even arrived, the beam of his repulsor ray arrived first.
The Cancerverse Tony of this Universe intended to give Ryan a hot energy blast facial with a single repulsor ray blast.
Facing this, Ryan's expression didn't change at all. With a casual wave of his hand, he swatted away the repulsor ray fired by Tony, causing it to explode on the ground and shatter several twisted monsters that had just regained their humanoid forms.
Meanwhile, the flesh and blood of those few monsters scattered on the ground also twisted, contorting into shapes even more grotesque than last time.
Moreover, this time they did not regenerate separately one by one; instead, the corpse fragments of several monsters were pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, forming a disgusting monster with multiple faces growing on its head and neck!
It was even more sanity-reducing...
Even Ryan found this look somewhat nauseating.
"You still dare to get distracted in front of this young master, go to hell!!!"
Just at that moment, Cancerverse Tony also flew over, delivering an iron fist carrying the momentum of flight to violently smash toward Ryan's head.
Clang——————
However, Cancerverse Tony's iron fist did not hit Ryan's head; instead, it landed in a large hand similarly clad in silver armor.
Ryan withdrew his gaze from the multi-faced monster beneath his feet, his indifferent gaze shifting to Tony, whose fist was held by him and who was attempting to break free.
Crack——————
With an exertion of strength from Ryan's hand, Tony's arm along with the armor was directly snapped into an inverted V-shape!
"Ahhhhhh——————"
Although the believers of the Cancerverse were immortal, that didn't mean they couldn't feel pain!
The pain they experienced was just the same as in a normal state.
Therefore, Cancerverse Tony, whose hand had been snapped off, let out a heart-rending, agonizing scream.
"Let go of this young master!"
Under the excruciating pain, Cancerverse Tony's other iron fist instinctively swung toward Ryan.
Then...
Crack——————
Without any surprise, Iron Man lost another arm!
Like holding a tattered ragdoll, Ryan hoisted Tony—whose arms were both broken—with one hand, while reaching out with the other hand to snap the knees of Tony's both legs.
This turned Cancerverse Tony into a vegetable who could only look and not move.
Even though a cancer-mutated Tony would not die, self-healing still took time.
The time it took for him to recover was enough for Ryan to do something...
"Let me see if you are still salvageable, and let me see if this World is still salvageable..."
After snapping Tony's limbs, Ryan reached out and removed his iron mask.
Then...
Rip——————
Amidst a viscous tearing sound, Ryan ripped off Tony's facial skin along with the iron mask!
Ryan: ...
Looking at Tony, whose flesh and blood had already fused with the iron mask, Ryan's expression couldn't have been more colorful.
"You are definitely the most disgusting-looking one among all the Tonys I have ever seen, whether in the past or the future..."
Looking at the nauseating rotting body inside Cancerverse Tony's armor, Ryan didn't even feel like testing whether he could restore him to normal.
But thinking of the value Tony's brain could create for him, Ryan gritted his teeth and pressed his left hand onto the ulcerated rotting flesh on Tony's face.
The powers of mind and soul instantly invaded Cancerverse Tony's brain, attempting to correct his twisted mind and recall his original normal soul.
But after just a few seconds, Ryan's expression suddenly sank.
No good, completely no good!
Cancerverse Tony's mind seemed inherently evil, completely incapable of correction. Even the power of the Mind Stone was resisting reading Tony's chaotic consciousness!
And the soul...
Cancerverse Tony didn't have a soul at all!
Or rather, his soul was more like a hole in a Hive, leaving only a pitch-black void, and connected within that void was the Hive of the Great Old Ones!
No, not just Tony!
Ryan looked down at the numerous twisted-form humans recovering below, his gaze complex.
I'm afraid that all the infected creatures in this Universe no longer had their own souls, having all degenerated into conscious branches of the Old Gods!
This situation was even more terrifying than Death; even the Infinity Stones couldn't save them!
Bang——————
Like a watermelon exploding, Ryan directly crushed Cancerverse Tony's head.
Casually flinging away the mixture of brains and flesh on his palm that tried to burrow into the destroyer armor like a living organism, Ryan sighed:
"Sigh, looks like this Universe is completely beyond saving. No wonder Loki asked me to destroy it rather than save it..."
For Ryan, if the people of this World could not be utilized, the meaning of its existence was undoubtedly greatly diminished.
"Then... perish, this meaningless World!"
Ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling——————
As Ryan's tone turned cold, his body slowly rose into the air, the ten-ring cloak behind him expanding in the wind, and the colorful radiance on his body grew increasingly dazzling...
Until everyone on the entire Cancerverse Earth saw the colorful 'Sun' rising steadily in the sky!
Sensing Cancerverse Tony's Death through the honeycomb consciousness of the Great Old Ones, the Revengers, who were all rushing over at top speed, immediately felt a sense of foreboding when they saw the colorful radiance illuminating the entire Earth!
"Not good!!!"
Doctor Strange of the Cancerverse let out an exclamation and instinctively cast his distorted absolute defense, the Shield of the Seraphim, blocking in front of the assembled Revengers.
But...
In the face of absolute power, absolute defense sometimes might not be so effective!
In the sky, Ryan, whose entire body including his eyes was stained with colorful hues and who looked like a deity, reached out both hands toward Earth: "Since you cannot die, then properly experience pain..."
