"No way, are you an idiot?!" Seeing this, everyone, with perfect understanding, took a step back in unison! Even Morgan manipulated his armor to move back slightly by half an inch!
Seeing this, Deadpool was not angry at all, but became even more "excited": "Good! Good! You are all so conscious! You are all willing to sacrifice yourselves for the world, right? Great! So great! Then let's kill you all! Kill you all! That guy will definitely get an unprecedented big seed! Directly level up!"
Deadpool then began to "sharpen" his knives with a practiced air, merely rubbing the backs of the blades together, but he did it with great flair. He brandished his twin knives, poised to charge.
However, in this chaotic and tumultuous moment—in the distance, Ian Kent, who was engaged in a fierce struggle with the time monster Elios, suddenly felt a strange burning sensation coming from the palm of his hand, which was pressed against Elios's energy tentacles! It was as if something was being etched onto it!
"My hand is unclean after touching this guy, and I'm going to get pregnant?" Ian was shocked and subconsciously glanced at it. He saw that a mysterious mark, which was extremely complex and constantly changing, appeared on the skin of his palm, as if it were made up of countless stars and geometric symbols!
At this moment, the mark is emitting a strong, flickering light, as if it is resonating strongly with something!
"What the hell is this?"
Ian was stunned, having no recollection of ever getting such a tattoo. Before he could even figure it out, the brand on his palm suddenly unleashed an unprecedented suction force!
The time monster, which had been incredibly violent and focused solely on burrowing into Ian's abdomen, suddenly let out a long cry that was neither pain nor anger, but rather carried a strange sense of liberation and return!
Then, something astonishing happened—Elios's enormous body, made of abandoned spacetime energy, began to melt like snow exposed to sunlight.
Starting from the point of contact with Ian's palm, it rapidly "melted" and decomposed! But it did not dissipate; instead, it transformed into countless pure, shimmering, emerald-green energy "silks" that flowed gently and continuously into the mysterious mark on Ian's palm, like rivers flowing into the sea!
This process was faster than anyone could have imagined! In just a few breaths, the terrifying monster Elios, capable of devouring timelines, vanished completely!
They were all sucked into Ian's palm!
"No, that's it?" Ian hovered in mid-air, his black and red mimicry armor slowly returning to calm, and his four arms retracting. He looked down at his palm; the mark, after absorbing Elios, gradually faded in light and eventually disappeared completely as if it had never existed.
A "dragon" like a stream of air swayed within the runes.
"My hand really looks like a placenta!"
Ian realized something too, his eyes widening in disbelief, his medical knowledge severely lacking. He sensed some inexplicable changes within himself, an unprecedented...sense of fullness and a certain sense of connection? But the "system" within him remained unusually silent, offering no notifications or attribute enhancements.
It was eerily quiet.
"Is this... that familiar feeling of increased global recognition?"
Ian looked up in confusion. Although he was still standing in the junkyard at the end of time, his eyes reflected a completely different scene.
It was an endless, dazzling cosmic sky.
And in the deepest part of that starry sky, several enormous figures, whose mere existence seemed to define the rules of the universe, stood there.
Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Annihilation—the four cosmic deities—are also looking at Ian, who is suspended among them, silently watching this newly reborn pillar.
written request for leave
My testicles are getting bigger and bigger, and the pain is unbearable.
Chapter 206 Ian: We're all kids! Give me some face!
This is a feeling that is difficult to describe.
Ian's people are clearly standing on the land at the end of time.
However, his gaze seemed to pierce through the stale air and endless mountains of garbage at the end of time, falling into a magnificent realm that defied description.
It was a boundless universe, a starry sky that transcended the concept of physics. The stars were not simply luminous bodies, but rather tangible images of the birth, evolution, and decay of things.
Each formation represents a certain thing or rule that exists in the world.
The river of time is embodied here as a winding ribbon of light.
The dimensions of space are like layers of transparent veils. And in the deepest part of this starry sky, several enormous figures, so vast that they transcend the concept of "existence" itself, stand silently.
Ian saw infinity; she was the sum of all space, her form infinitely changing, like a goddess composed of countless galaxies, nebulae, and the void. Her very existence defined “vastness.”
He saw annihilation, the opposite of existence, absolute nothingness and end, like a humanoid darkness that devours all light and concepts.
The mere thought of him instills ultimate fear. Similarly, Annihilation is considered one of the deities in the universe with the potential to surpass eternity.
Ian also saw the leader of the five gods, Eternity, who is the embodiment of all timelines, whose image is constantly flowing, as if woven from all events of the past, present, and future.
He is the embodiment of the lifespan of the universe itself.
Death, on the other hand, is a woman draped in a black robe, with a slender figure, yet exuding an aura of equality that ends all life. Her figurative image is like a giant skull wrapped in a black robe.
"She's not as pretty as Miss Death at all, and she doesn't seem filial at all; she couldn't have raised her grandmother to adulthood," Ian unconsciously judged in his mind.
With just one glance, he knew he didn't like Death, one of the five Marvel superheroes.
Death might have felt the same way about him.
Unlike the pure indifference of other gods, when her gaze pierced through endless dimensions and landed on Ian, it seemed to carry an extremely complex emotion.
There was scrutiny, dissatisfaction, and even... a hint of unspeakable hostility? Of course, these were things that Ian had no time to pay attention to at the moment.
Ian was focused on his current state. The sudden unexpected event, which surprised Ian the most, was that he felt he was not looking up to these supreme cosmic gods.
His "perspective" was surprisingly that of an equal.
It was as if he stood there naturally, on the same level as infinity, eternity, annihilation, and death, silently watching the countless cosmic bubbles below, rising and falling. An indescribable, immense perception, as if he himself had become part of the fundamental rules of the universe, filled his consciousness.
“I can even connect to the cosmic consciousness and access the information stored within it. This cosmic consciousness is like a heavenly library that angels can use.”
"It can grant me a state of omniscience under the coverage of cosmic consciousness... As long as information and knowledge exist in the world, I can access them through my will!"
As Ian experienced the profound changes within himself, he looked up again at the four gods not far away.
There should be five cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe. But now, among the five cosmic entities that Ian sees, the one that lives by devouring planets is missing.
"so……"
Ian's super brain was working at lightning speed. He looked somewhat surprised, as if he had suddenly realized something. This situation was definitely not a coincidence.
The five fundamental deities of the universe are indispensable to the operation of the universe.
Therefore.
"I've become the new generation of planet devourer?" He suddenly looked at his palm, which had become unclean and impure with "tattoos," where the monster of time, Elios, had just absorbed the entire time.
At this moment, although Ian's palms looked smooth, they were still tainted by the "tattoo," and the mysterious mark seemed to have left some kind of invisible connection.
He could almost see a miniature "dragon" emerging in his hand. Or rather, it was more like a strange "cosmic tapeworm" gently coiled within the dimension of his palm.
"My previous guess seems to be correct. This thing is now being nurtured in my palm, and it has triggered some mechanism in the universe that I am not aware of, causing me to directly advance in rank in this universe and become the new generation, and definitely the strongest generation, planet devourer?"
Ian was once again impressed by his own intelligence, and even indulged in a moment of narcissism. His brain, unusually, was working at high speed, trying to comprehend this unbelievable situation.
Can a cosmic tapeworm replace the planet devourer?
Isn't this promotion channel a bit too extreme?
"that……"
Just as Ian was about to speak to his new colleagues, who were on equal footing with him, and ask them what was going on, he saw the images of the four gods begin to distort.
Then, the scene before him blurred and distorted like smoke blown away by the wind, before vanishing completely. The wind howled, carrying with it the dust and rusty smell unique to the end of time, filling his mouth and nose.
Ian remained standing on that endless junkyard, his feet resting on soft waste. The grand and sacred scene of the divine meeting he had just witnessed seemed like an overly realistic illusion.
"Think on the bright side."
Ian shook his head.
Trying to dispel the lingering shock, and comforting himself with a dark sense of humor, "Eating in the Marvel Universe is indeed a legitimate thing."
"After all, I now hold the lucrative position of Devourer of Stars, so weren't my past acts of devouring also a way of fulfilling my duties? This is what I understand as proof that lasts forever!"
"This certificate is the key to a secure job! Once I'm a Marvel civil servant, everything I do is legal!" Ian once again demonstrated the so-called "one certificate for life".
There's a reason he comforts himself this way. After all, according to his "theory of the relativity of joy and sorrow," when you're very sad, you have to think about happy things to balance your emotions.
As for why Ian was still sad even after his "world rank" in the Marvel Universe rose, the answer is obvious: smart people know that the American comic book universe has hidden attributes.
And the hidden attributes of something like a planet devourer are self-evident.
Invincible.
Invincible is the synonym for planet devourer.
Ian's sadness stemmed from this: given Galactus's infamous character traits, wouldn't he also inherit the ridiculous attribute of "invincibility," comparable to the "emperor's aura" in fantasy novels? It sounds awesome, but he'd always fall down due to hunger or other reasons?
"Has the invincible Ian fallen again?"
Ian found it hard to accept such a scene, and his brain was unusually focused on the benefits and risks of being a cosmic-level civil servant because of this bizarre development.
A commotion from nearby pulled him back to reality.
"It can't be me! How could it be me! I don't know that guy at all! Really! Even if you kill me, he won't be able to unleash his power! And look! He doesn't need to unleash his power anymore, does he? The problem is solved! Look! He's looking over here! His gaze lingered on me for an extra second!"
"He definitely has a crush on me! It's love! You can't murder his love!" Who else could it be but Deadpool with that cheeky and incredibly noisy voice?
Ian felt like his lines had been stolen, which is why he snapped out of it.
"What's Deadpool doing here? Isn't he stealing my spotlight?" Ian once called himself DC Deadpool, so he hoped that the real Deadpool would lose his nature like other superheroes.
Even if he were to bring Deadpool back to his original state, Deadpool would forever lament that he lives in Ian's shadow, which was Ian's previous wish.
However, upon hearing Deadpool's words, Ian knew his wish had failed. Indeed, you can't make a wish on yourself; it's even less reliable than making a wish on God.
What did you do to him?
Ian looked in the direction of the sound and saw an extremely comical scene: Deadpool was tightly bound by thick iron chains found from who-knows-where and hung upside down like a salted fish on the broken mast of a rusty giant ship half-buried in the ground.
"Put me down! Whoever puts me down, I'll show them my amazing treasure, which is even longer than Harry Potter's wand!"
Deadpool looks like a medieval criminal about to be executed, but he's still restless, wandering around and chattering non-stop.
"Shut up, you!"
Doctor Strange, Captain America, Thor holding baby Odin, Sylvie, and Morgan stood below, looking at Deadpool with a mixture of helplessness and disdain.
"How is this going?"
Ian walked over, his face full of confusion. He had only had a brief "intimate conversation" with the time monster, so why did it feel like the whole world had gathered at this junkyard at the end of time?
They even started a bondage play?
Because of a lack of information about what happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Ian left, he is currently in a state of outdated thinking and doesn't quite understand the current situation.
"Uncle Ian, this is what happened..."
When Morgan saw Ian approaching, he didn't seem surprised by Ian's condition. He immediately piloted his armor forward and briefly explained the situation to his godfather.
