Chapter 266
Some Gods conversed in low voices, remarking amongst themselves.
Indeed, the Marvel side had long been ravaged by Martin, with far too many Gods perishing. On the DC side, the New Gods who had reigned supreme for an era were now almost completely slaughtered by Martin, leaving only Darkseid's avatar barely clinging to life, utterly miserable.
Everyone was terrified by Martin's frightful power.
In an era where Gods from both realms constantly probed, communicated, and even waged war, Martin was an Anomaly.
Within the Newborn Multiverse.
Within the deep cosmic starry sky of the New Main Universe, formed by the fusion of the Marvel Main Universe and the DC Universe: Zero, a peculiar ring suddenly appeared.
The ring appeared with extreme suddenness and haste, as if stimulated by something. It was born from darkness, first lingering in confusion, then beginning to wander about.
Finally, this pitch-black ring arrived at a certain location, from which a strange power emanated.
"From Oa, Krona, revive!!"
**Chapter 336**
Main Universe, Earth.
The history of this Earth was utterly chaotic. Superheroes and Supervillains filled the streets, and heroes constantly brawled with one another, as did villains.
Such an Earth had the highest level of danger.
Boom!
Superman smashed a car in front of Mandarin, his eyes erupting with Heat Vision that tore directly through the flipped truck. He said gravely, "Mandarin, you and your Ten Rings end here!"
"Foolish Kryptonian."
Mandarin sneered, then raised a hand and pointed. From one of his rings, a blast of magic shot out, instantly striking the Main Universe Superman.
"Besides Kryptonite, Kryptonians also fear magic. Did you think I'd dare to act in Metropolis without knowing your weaknesses?"
Mandarin smirked, feeling smugly satisfied.
He couldn't get into New York City; that cursed place was overflowing with heroes and villains. But Metropolis, he could handle.
Superman? Terribly strong, but once you found the Kryptonian's racial flaws, dealing with him became very simple.
More importantly...
"Even more importantly, I wonder if you Justice League fools are idiots. Each hero only protects their own city, yet never calls upon their comrades for help?"
Mandarin cackled, walking step by step, dragging Superman by his cape as if he were a dead dog.
Just then, a loud bang resounded.
"Mandarin, your opponent is me!" A sleek Battle Armor suddenly descended, unleashing a carpet-bombing of energy blasts.
The members of the Ten Rings were blown away, sent sprawling.
Mandarin's face instantly darkened. "Tony! You bastard, you brought this upon yourself!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The ten rings unleashed different powers, engaging Iron Man in fierce combat.
No one found this bizarre scene out of place. This world had been like this since its inception: the Justice League and the Avengers, many villains also engaged in both conflict and cooperation.
This also caused the planet Earth's combat power to surge by several orders of magnitude, and its danger level to escalate by dozens of orders of magnitude. Ordinary people without combat abilities found life especially difficult, liable to be killed at any moment by calamities descending from the sky.
But no one felt that something was wrong.
Unable to reach the Multiverse level, and blind to past Major Events, they had no idea what any of this meant.
Just then, a large number of black rings suddenly flew towards Earth.
"What is this?"
"Black Lantern Rings? Hal Jordan! What's happening?"
Earth's heroes stared at this scene in astonishment, their faces bewildered.
Green Lantern Rings and Yellow Lantern Rings were normal enough, but what were Black Lantern Rings?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
One after another, Lantern Rings suddenly swarmed onto Earth, frantically lunging at every living person.
Even the Superheroes were not spared.
"From Earth, Pietro, die!"
"From Mars, Martian Manhunter, die!"
"From the Moon, Black Bolt, die!"
"From Earth, Clark Kent, die!"
Mechanical voices echoed across the entire Earth. As soon as a living person had one of these black rings forcibly attached to their finger, a terrifying power of death instantly swept over them, killing the host on the spot and transforming them into a Black Lantern Zombie.
"Damn it, these black rings are destroying the lives and souls of living people!"
Iron Man analyzed everything through J.A.R.V.I.S., cried out in alarm, and immediately unleashed full firepower, frantically bombarding these ominously glowing rings.
The next moment, Superman Clark staggered to his feet, his flesh and blood blackened and rotted. He flashed a bone-chilling smile at Iron Man, then opened his mouth. In an instant, countless Black Lantern Rings flew out of his mouth, seemingly endless, and immediately engulfed Iron Man.
The next moment.
Iron Man also rose, a gleaming Black Lantern Ring on his finger, having turned into a Black Lantern Zombie.
The entire Earth fell instantly.
Countless living people were killed by the Black Lantern Rings, and countless dead people already buried in their graves were now successively revived by the Black Lantern Rings.
Never before had the boundary between life and death been so blurred and unified—everyone had become a Zombie.
This terrifying disaster began the moment Krona was revived by the first strange Black Lantern Ring to appear. Endless Black Lantern Rings formed an ocean of rings in the Universe, sweeping through one planet after another with a roar, creating countless Black Lantern Zombies.
Even some powerful beings who had died were awakened by the Black Lantern Rings.
"From Asgard, Odin, revive!"
"From Krypton, Zod, revive!"
Even more terrifying, these deceased, under the power of the Black Lantern Rings, possessed their memories and combat abilities from when they were alive, but completely lacked self-will, becoming mere puppets controlled by the Black Lanterns.
The changes erupting in the Main Universe were quickly noticed by some higher existences.
"Hmm, the Emotional Spectrum is restless. Has Nekron finally begun to act?"
Martin, who was studying the Source Scepter, suddenly looked up towards the Main Universe, a peculiar expression on his face.
**Chapter 337**
The Emotional Spectrum is a unique power belonging to the DC world, using the emotions of lifeforms as its source of power, Lantern Rings that sense various emotions as its medium, and the imagination and willpower of lifeforms to materialize various weapons as a means of attack.
In the Inner Wall World, only the visible light spectrum of the Emotional Spectrum exists: the seven-colored light and the black light of death.
"There are two 'bug' spectrums on the Emotional Spectrum: the black spectrum of death and the white spectrum of life... With Nekron of death appearing, the Entity of Existence won't be far behind."
Martin stroked the Source Scepter, lowering his head to examine the strange symbols appearing on it, a peculiar smile playing on his lips.
Speaking of Nekron, the Lantern Entity of the Death Lantern Ring, he was quite the unlucky fellow.
He was clearly an honest sort, sleeping soundly, when he was inexplicably attacked by a beam of light.
Back then, in the First Epoch, not long after the DC Source Wall was established, the Inner Wall World was still a realm of darkness. Endless Chaos demon beasts dwelled deep within it, engaging in brutal vendettas. The most powerful among these Chaos demon beasts was Nekron, who wielded a scythe and enslaved all other Chaos demon beasts.
The Overlord of darkness loved to sleep.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Suddenly, a peculiar light appeared, calling itself the Creation Light. It came from the endless void beyond the Source Wall, easily piercing through the Source Wall and entering the Inner Wall World. After wandering around for a while, it unhesitatingly launched a sneak attack on Nekron.
A great battle erupted. The aftermath of the clash between these two powerful beings caused the endless darkness shrouding the Inner Wall World to collapse. The terrifying Creation Light swept through everything, and the tyrannical Chaos demon beasts were successively slain on the spot by this light. Only seven lucky ones, swift enough to escape, barely survived.
This battle was inexplicable.
The invincible Nekron was battered all over, filled with towering rage, yet also deep confusion and bewilderment. Ultimately, he was so severely wounded by the Creation Light that he had no choice but to fall into a long slumber.
"Oh, Source of sin and death, you are born with guilt."
This neurotic light said this to Nekron.
Nekron, consumed by sky-high fury and malevolence, fell asleep.
In this battle, Nekron's furious counterattack also severely wounded the Creation Light. After rescuing the seven Chaos demon beasts, the Creation Light shrouded the Inner Wall World, tearing apart the darkness. Ultimately, due to excessive power loss, it devolved into the Entity of Existence.
Which is to say, the current White Lantern Entity.
Those seven lucky ones, who fortuitously received the Entity of Existence's gift, transformed into the Lantern Entities of the seven common light spectrums. For example, the Willpower Green Lantern Entity of the Green Lantern Corps is a shark glowing with green light, named Ion.
"Three entire epochs, billions of years have passed, and Nekron has been plotting his revenge..."
Martin stroked his chin, lost in thought.
That's why he felt Nekron was such an unlucky fellow. He was sleeping soundly when he was inexplicably ambushed; his home turf was raided by a shameless scoundrel named Creation Light, and his dark world was utterly destroyed in one fell swoop.
Nekron had always harbored this grudge. He accumulated the power of death for three epochs before barely recovering his strength. Now revived, his secondary goal was to drag this noisy, life-filled, damned world back into darkness, while his primary goal was to take revenge on the Entity of Existence...
This grudge was too immense, and utterly outrageous.
"However, Nekron's revival is a bit too early, too rushed... As expected, it's because I activated the Source Scepter, bringing the Unseen Spectrum from Beyond the Source Wall into the Inner Wall World prematurely, which stimulated Nekron..."
According to normal development, the Unseen Spectrum from Beyond the Source Wall would only appear after the Source Wall shattered and the Creation Goddess revived.
"Since it's delivered right to my doorstep, there's no need for me to hesitate... I'll take the Emotional Spectrum."
A cold sneer suddenly curled Martin's lips.
The Emotional Spectrum was one of the top-tier powers on the DC Comics side, its power no less than that of the full Phoenix Force. Martin would never miss an opportunity to enhance his strength.
Even if he didn't need it himself, he was more than happy to share the power with his subordinates.
"Completely mastering the power of the Emotional Spectrum will be troublesome. If possible, I should seek out something even more valuable... like the Heart of the Universe."
Martin took a deep breath and slowly rose. He gazed at the Black Lantern Rings gradually spreading from the Main Universe towards countless other Universes, with some already drifting towards his own Transformers Universe. He finally decided to act.
"Prepare for battle, war is about to begin! Our target is the Main Universe! Deploy all Transformers, Parademons, and Symbiotes! Our objective is the Central Power Battery of the Seven Lantern Corps!"
Martin commanded.
The entire Transformers Universe immediately mobilized.
**Chapter 338**
Large armies began to gather.
