Chapter 694: How to Take Down The Spectre
The war between the two Gods grew increasingly fierce, covering an ever-expanding area, until with a resounding boom, a breach was torn in the Universe Barrier, allowing a torrent of volatile Blood Realm Energy to pour in.
The Main Universe was once again unlucky, suffering wounds at an astonishing frequency.
“Judgment!” The Spectre's gaze turned cold, his patience exhausted. Powerful rays shot from his eyes, aimed directly at Tony, an indescribable Will subtly descending upon Tony's Soul.
The Spirits of Vengeance naturally possessed the duty of Judgment; their very existence was more like a Construct of a certain rule or ability.
Not to mention The Spectre, the strongest Spirit of Vengeance. If this entity truly set its sights on someone, even a Being whose essence was as noble as a Singular God could not escape.
A Divine Light burst forth from The Spectre's eyes, aiming directly at Tony, piercing towards him in an inescapable manner.
Tony indifferently unleashed a powerful Energy wave, but the transparent ray effortlessly bypassed it, crashing down upon Tony.
The Will of Judgment descended, and a massive vortex arose. Tony watched as he was about to be encircled by an unseen Power, his Soul feeling as though it had been frozen.
“Your Sins are unavoidable, and they will all be accounted for today!” The Spectre floated before Tony, speaking coldly.
Tony slowly raised his head, a grim smile suddenly appearing on his face.
“ROAR!!!” A pitch-black figure suddenly appeared, solidly blocking Tony's path. An aura of extreme savagery and cruelty emanated from it, interweaving with a thirst for slaughter and a desire for Destruction, as it stared at The Spectre with the eyes of a predator.
“Doomsday... in your pursuit of this thing, countless lives have been lost. Your Sins are simply inexpiable.” The Spectre shook his head.
“Hypocrite,” Tony exhaled, his voice chilling. “For your own selfish gain, you nearly killed Shazam, and you even intend to completely destroy Earth's magical world. Who knows how many people you would have killed? You, Spirit of Vengeance, are the one who truly deserves Judgment. Your footprints are left in countless Universes; you have indirectly caused untold suffering to innumerous people.”
Doomsday King Kong roared, struck by the Power of Judgment. An immense Will seemed intent on distorting it, but Doomsday King Kong stubbornly resisted, undergoing Evolution at the Soul level.
Suddenly, Doomsday King Kong's Soul was killed by the Power of Judgment, leaving only its Host Body. But it quickly began Revival, its Life Factor developing resistance to the Power of Judgment, further Evolving.
“No one can escape my Judgment!” The Spectre's voice echoed throughout the Universe, and another Light of Judgment shone upon Tony, invisibly locking onto Tony's Soul.
Tony curled his lips, “This kind of nonsense, you can mutter to yourself when no one's around, but don't say it out loud and make a fool of yourself.”
The Spectre was powerful, but some Beings even he could not judge.
To say nothing else, Death had driven countless Thanos mad, yet The Spectre was never seen judging her. Darkseid had killed an unknown number of people, yet The Spectre was never seen judging him either.
It wasn't that he didn't want to judge them, but that he couldn't.
Death was the Multiverse's Creator God, the very rule of death and endings; The Spectre absolutely could not lay a hand on Death. As for someone like Darkseid, protected by his father Yuga Khan, The Spectre dared not act.
The Spectre, this so-called God's Herald, genuinely desired to judge the wicked, but reality often forced him to compromise, allowing him only to judge weaklings, while remaining indifferent to a group of far more terrifying and Sinful Beings.
Undoubtedly, in The Spectre's eyes, Tony was merely a weakling who could be judged.
A New God, without a foundation, whose death would not affect the Multiverse, and whose demise could further cement The Spectre's reputation and deter more Villains... At first glance, Tony was the perfect subject for Judgment.
From the very beginning, The Spectre hadn't taken Tony seriously.
He had occupied the Old Bartender's body because it was advantageous to him, and he would absolutely not relinquish it. It was not without the intention of deliberately provoking Tony and then observing him.
“Although you are a Singular God, I can still judge you. You have defeated many Gods, and your great name once shook the Sphere of the Gods. You are the first Singular God since the Multiverse's birth, and perhaps also the last Singular God, but I can still judge you and stop you from doing evil.”
The Spectre moved spectrally around Tony, beams of irresistible Light of Judgment illuminating Tony's inner and outer self.
“You have saved the Main Universe several times, which is enough to earn you a chance to live... Rest assured, I will not kill you.”
The Spectre spoke eloquently, his gaze placid as he looked at Tony, who was completely sealed by countless Lights of Judgment. The face he wore, that of the Old Bartender, was utterly indifferent.
Tony merely let out a cold chuckle. The Allspark in his mind suddenly pulsed. With Doomsday King Kong's Revival, the Evolved Power transmitted back from its Life Factor and Allspark returned to the Allspark, the Source of Life.
In other words, Tony had already grasped a method to counter the Light of Judgment, even if it meant altering his Soul.
This was a method practiced by Doomsday King Kong, enough to generate a slight resistance against the Light of Judgment, buying Tony a little more time.
After all, Doomsday King Kong was not Ancient Doomsday; it didn't possess that bug-like ability to not be killed twice by the same method. Doomsday King Kong would need to be killed many times before it could truly ignore the Light of Judgment.
But Tony didn't need to ignore the Light of Judgment at all; he only needed a little bit of time.
Boom! The sea of light drilled into Tony's body, fiercely illuminating his unique Soul. The luster of Judgment passed through his Divine Core, connecting with Tony's Soul, and fiercely clashing with the Light of Singularity.
The Allspark suddenly unleashed its Power. As the Allspark, closely intertwined with life and death, it directly exerted Power upon the Divine Core under Tony's activation. The Soul within the Divine Core began to transform, struggling to resist The Spectre's Judgment.
Everything seemed to stiffen for a moment. All the past deeds had nowhere to hide under the light, and many hidden secrets were inevitably unearthed.
Tony suddenly understood why so many Ancient Deities were filled with apprehension and aversion towards The Spectre.
The Allspark's Power was further activated. Raging flames swept over Tony's Divine Core, providing Tony with even more protection.
“Oh?” The Spectre raised an eyebrow. “Besides the Mother Box, you still possess a more complete Singular Artifact? What is this flame?”
“It's a good thing to send you to God.”
Tony grinned grimly, gritting his teeth to endure the Light of Judgment. Even Darkseid's true form had to be extremely cautious when facing The Spectre, as one wrong move could easily lead to defeat, let alone Tony in his current state.
Tony with difficulty opened his hand, and a disc-like device fell from the Mother Box.
“You have no selfish intentions, this will earn you a chance to survive. Rest assured, I will not kill you. I am always magnanimous and prioritize fairness.”
“I can't kill you, but I can make you wish you were dead.”
Tony raised the device in his hand, aiming it at The Spectre.
This was Tony's personally crafted... Phase Shifter.
