Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Sudden Change
Earth, USA, New York, Manhattan, Avengers Headquarters.
Tony and the others were anxious about Clark's sudden disappearance. Each of them, being among the smartest people on Earth, had a good idea of what had happened and what Clark had gone off to do based on his behavior and words before vanishing.
However, the images that suddenly appeared in their minds still shocked them profoundly.
This time, Clark not only allowed all sentient beings in the multiverse to watch a live broadcast for free, but he also shared his knowledge of the Gods Beyond and their dangers, transmitting this information directly into the minds of every intelligent creature.
This helped everyone recognize who the enemy was and the extent of their threat. For the Avengers, this transmission only deepened their worries.
Thousands of enemies blanketed the sky, each capable of easily annihilating Thanos in his prime. Faced with such an army, could Clark really stand alone against them?
Although it seemed that Clark could make the enemies kill each other with his music, they also knew that the more powerful an ability, the greater its limitations or consumption.
If such an extraordinary ability could be used without any restraint, Clark wouldn't have been so embarrassingly defeated by Phoenix and Dormammu previously.
"Child, child, why are you so naughty..."
During a musical interlude, another God Beyond became a victim of Clark's music and was quickly overwhelmed by attacks from its peers.
This phenomenon also suggested that although the actions of the Gods Beyond appeared unusually synchronized, they were not controlled by a single hive mind; each possessed independent thought and consciousness. They could operate in harmony yet remained distinct individuals.
Another piece of evidence supporting this theory was that whenever one of them was unexpectedly killed, Clark received a massive amount of impression points. Although all were labeled as Gods Beyond, the data came in continuous sequences, clearly not from a single individual.
Received impression points from the Gods Beyond +999999!
Received impression points from the Gods Beyond...
Received...
The uniform contribution of impression points was a sight to behold. From the current situation, every God Beyond that Clark killed increased his points without any deficit.
However, as the number of Gods Beyond continued to decrease to just a few hundred or even dozens, a deficit was inevitable. How long his impression points could last then was uncertain.
Thus, Clark had broadcasted the same scenes into the minds of every intelligent being in the multiverse, ensuring that for every God Beyond he killed, the incoming points exceeded the outgoing, until only the last few thousand remained.
Even so, Clark couldn't be sure of victory.
Because...
Were there really only a few thousand Gods Beyond?
...
Meanwhile, having witnessed Clark's battle against the Gods Beyond, the superheroes of Universe Earth-199999 didn't need any rallying. They had already gathered together spontaneously. In less than fifteen minutes, they had assembled at the Avengers Tower.
Led by Captain America and Tony, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four led by Mr. Fantastic, and the X-Men led by Professor X, gathered together. Under everyone's expectant gazes, Tony, Mr. Fantastic, Beast, and a few other top scientists immediately showcased their latest invention—space survival gear!
This device allowed humans to survive in cold, oxygen-free environments without interfering with other equipment like the Iron Man suit and without compromising flexibility. Each unit contained enough oxygen for one person for a month.
Additionally, the gear included a special propulsion device to prevent uncontrollable movements in space, enhancing agility.
Equipped with these devices, anyone present could perform in space as well as they did on Earth, if not better. After distributing the equipment to every superhero, Doctor Strange opened a massive portal directly to the battlefield. Over a hundred superheroes immediately activated their newly received devices and surged through the giant portal to join the battle in the sky.
Clark, who was deeply engaged with the Gods Beyond's army, felt overwhelmed by the sudden influx of superheroes through the portal.
Please!
This wasn't Thanos's Dark Order they were dealing with!
Every enemy on this battlefield could easily annihilate all of you!
Did you really have to jump in at this critical moment and cause chaos?
"Everyone, go back!"
With a shout, Clark waved his hand, and a surge of spatial energy swept out, instantly sending the superheroes who had just come through the portal back to Earth. Along with them, the portal created by Doctor Strange was erased from existence.
At the same time, his voice echoed in every superhero's ear: "This enemy is beyond your capability, even the residual energy from their attacks could turn you all to ash!"
"By staying off the battlefield, you're helping me the most!"
Received impression points from Tony Stark +99999!
Received...
...
The superheroes had just crossed through the portal to the battlefield and hadn't even had a chance to grasp the situation when they were sent right back to where they started. Then, hearing Clark's voice directly addressing their hearts made them feel utterly out of place.
We're all superheroes, but now, do we
not even qualify to join the fight?
However, they had traveled from Earth to the outskirts of the Milky Way and back in just a moment, and the live broadcast of the battlefield that Clark had imposed on them hadn't stopped.
Just as everyone was feeling dejected, through the live broadcast, they witnessed a horrifying scene.
Just as the superheroes poured into the sky from the portal, and Clark sent them back to Earth in an instant, a group of the Gods Beyond happened to finish off the one Clark had designated to sing "Three Hundred Nursery Rhymes."
Then, more than a thousand Gods Beyond took advantage of Clark's distraction in sending back the superheroes. Unable to designate the next singer in time, thousands of energy shockwaves bombarded Clark simultaneously!
Three Gods Beyond could kill the life tribunal. What horror could thousands of them unleash together?
In an instant, the universe's most handsome man, the last divine being in the Marvel multiverse, was obliterated by the combined strike of the Gods Beyond, his body disintegrating into cosmic dust.
He disappeared without a trace!
