Ch: 132-139

Chapter 132

"A leisure area?"

Susan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, looking at Bai Ye suspiciously:

"You didn't seriously install a swimming pool in there, did you?"

Bai Ye smiled without speaking, merely projecting the image of a certain area.

Sure enough, inside a spacious cabin, azure pool water gently rippled, and the surroundings even simulated a beach and sunlight.

Wanda blushed slightly at the sight: "You really didn't skimp on treating yourself."

"Since it belongs to us, of course it has to be comfortable."

Bai Ye shrugged, then dropped his smile and looked at the two women.

"However, the true value of the golden crow lies in its combat capabilities."

Bai Ye brought up the holographic projection of the weapon system, and countless options appeared.

"Main cannon, Fire of the golden crow, its power is enough to destroy a Planet in a single strike."

"Secondary battery array, Sun Starfire, capable of locking onto thousands of targets simultaneously."

"Defense system, Seraphim Shield, capable of withstanding bombardment on the level of Planet Destroying Cannons."

"Besides that, it is also equipped with a stealth module, quantum communication, and a space warp engine. Of course, I can also jump quickly by opening a Portal directly."

After listening, Susan couldn't help but click her tongue and exclaim, "If this thing were on Earth, it could conquer the entire Planet immediately."

Bai Ye shook his head and explained to Susan, "Let's forget about the current Earth for now. Its real battlefield is intergalactic warfare, not internal Earth conflict."

Wanda pondered: "So, you plan to use it as our tool for interstellar travel?"

"Something like that." Bai Ye looked out at the endless starry sky beyond the viewport.

"The Universe is vast, and no one knows what the future holds."

"If one day I go off to play in another Universe, and aliens invade my territory, having the golden crowhere can at least warn those small fry."

Wanda and Susan nodded in agreement.

Then Susan suggested to Bai Ye, "Since we're here, why don't we try out its warp function?"

Wanda also became interested and nodded in agreement: "Exactly, before when we went to other Planets, we always Portaled directly. I've never experienced riding a spaceship."

Bai Ye laughed, but didn't refuse: "Alright, let's go have some fun."

Bai Ye walked to the main console and directly entered the Universe coordinates he had recorded during previous explorations.

"golden crow, initiate space warp, target, Titan!"

"Command confirmed." The mechanical voice of the golden crow echoed in the cabin.

The engine roared, energy converged at the stern of the spaceship, and space began to distort.

The next second, the golden crow instantly vanished, leaving behind only a circle of unsettled spatial ripples.

The space near Titan slightly fluctuated, and the golden crow detached from its warp state, its massive hull silently gliding through the starry sky.

Through the viewport, the full view of Titan slowly came into sight.

A massive, earthy yellow Planet, its surface covered with shattered continents and dried-up oceans.

The atmosphere was thin, and faint traces of a former civilization were visible, but now only desolation remained.

Wanda stood before the viewport, her scarlet eyes reflecting the Planet, and she couldn't help but sigh softly:

"dear, this is Titan? The home Planet of Thanos, the Universe's family planning director you told us about?"

At this point, Wanda's voice held a hint of shock: "It's even bigger than I imagined."

Susan stood beside her, arms crossed, her expression appearing quite calm.

"There are plenty of Planets more spectacular than this in the Universe..."

Wanda looked at Susan with a confused expression upon hearing this, asking, "You've seen them?"

Susan pointed to a virtual projection not far away, which displayed the appearances of many Planets.

"I just saw them there. The records are quite detailed."

Bai Ye stood in front of the main console, tapping his finger lightly on the holographic star map.

"Titan's gravitational field is stable. Although the atmosphere is thin, none of us need to breathe anyway, so we can land directly."

The golden crow's thrusters adjusted their angle, slowly descending toward Titan's surface.

As the distance closed, the details of the Planet's surface gradually became clear.

Broken mountain ranges, dried riverbeds, collapsed building complexes, and streets buried by sand and wind.

The entire Planet seemed forgotten by time, leaving only Eternity of silence.

Wanda gazed at the approaching surface and whispered, "This place was once a prosperous civilization, right?"

"It was." Bai Ye said calmly. "But now, only ruins remain."

The spaceship landed steadily on a plain on Titan, and the hatch slowly opened.

Bai Ye stepped out first, his boots landing on the dry sand, but the Bio-Force Field ensured no dust was raised.

Wanda and Susan followed closely, and the three stood on the soil of Titan, looking around.

Desolation. This was the only word that could describe the place.

The sky displayed a dark red color, devoid of clouds or sound, only Eternity of silence.

The distant architectural remains stood silently on the horizon like the skeletons of giant beasts.

Susan frowned slightly at the sight, stating directly, "There isn't a single sign of life here."

"Not even a tiny insect remains."

"After Thanos left, this place completely died." Bai Ye stepped forward.

"Let's go, let's see the last traces of this civilization."

Wanda took a deep breath and followed his steps.

Their figures gradually disappeared into the ruins of Titan, like three insignificant passersby stepping into a story long forgotten by the Universe.

Chapter 188: The Truth Behind Titan's Destruction

Soon, Bai Ye and the others arrived in the city that had been reduced to ruins.

Wanda looked around, her scarlet long hair gently fluttering in the breeze.

This dead World was reflected in her eyes, and her voice carried a hint of shock: "This is Thanos's home Planet?"

Susan stood beside her, her Force Field energy subconsciously sweeping across the entire ruin, her expression slightly surprised:

"Although I already said it earlier, it's still more desolate than I imagined."

Bai Ye took over Susan's words and continued, "There are many such Planets in the Universe. The rise and fall of civilization is merely a fleeting moment."

Bai Ye led Wanda and Susan forward.

Titan had long since died. Former skyscrapers were now only broken walls and remnants, and massive dome structures had collapsed into ruins.

The streets were buried by yellow sand, occasionally revealing a few already weathered skeletons.

Wanda followed behind Bai Ye, looking at everything around her, and asked, "What exactly happened here?"

"Civil war." Bai Ye said calmly.

"Thanos's prophecy: resource depletion and civilizational collapse. His people refused to believe it, and ultimately, they destroyed themselves with war."

Susan used Force Field energy to suspend herself half a meter above the ground, her gaze sweeping over the broken buildings: "So Thanos was right?"

"Half right."

Bai Ye stopped walking and looked at a distant, tilted giant statue.

The face was faintly recognizable as Thanos's, though it had been eroded beyond recognition by wind and sand.

"Resources do run out, but slaughter is never the answer."

Wanda was silent for a moment, then whispered, "He could have found another way."

"But he chose the most extreme path." Susan shook her head, expressing her lack of understanding for Thanos's actions.

"Madmen are always like this."

Bai Ye did not continue the topic, but raised his hand to point at a distant circular building, saying to the two women:

"That should be Titan's Core Council Hall. Let's go take a look."

The three walked through the ruins and quickly arrived in front of the semi-collapsed circular building.

The massive metal door was already rusted. Bai Ye merely gave it a gentle push, and the entire door crashed down, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The interior space was dark and empty, with a damaged holographic projection device suspended in the center.

The surrounding seats were scattered and overturned, as if a fierce debate had been taking place in the final moments.

Wanda walked closer to the projection device, gently touching it with her fingertip, allowing Chaos Magic to seep into it.

Buzz~

The residual energy was activated, and the blurry holographic image flickered a few times, then displayed a fragmented scene.

A group of Titans were arguing fiercely, while a young Thanos stood in the center, saying something with a stern expression.

The image had no sound, but it was clear that his proposal was opposed by everyone.

Some angrily pounded the table, others sneered and shook their heads. Finally, Thanos turned and left, his back resolute.

The image abruptly cut off there.

Wanda retracted her hand and whispered, "This was the beginning of everything."

Susan, being an Ace Reporter who had seen many similar situations, crossed her arms and commented directly, "Stubborn adherence to one's own views ultimately leads to self-destruction."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, then walked toward the depths of the council hall, his gaze falling upon a wall.

It was covered with ancient Titan script, recording the final wail of this civilization.

"They had a chance to change." Bai Ye murmured.

"But arrogance and fear destroyed them."

Wanda walked up beside him, looking at the script. Although she couldn't understand it, she could feel the despair contained within: "After Thanos left, this place completely collapsed?"

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded.

"Civil war broke out, resources were consumed frantically, and eventually, nothing was left."

Susan floated over and suddenly pointed to a corner: "There's something there."

Bai Ye followed her gaze and found a metal plate wedged in a crack in the wall.

He walked over and pulled it out. It was a record plaque.

Engraved on it were the dying words of Titan's last Speaker.

[We were wrong.]

[But it is already too late.]

Just two short lines, yet they seemed to reveal utter despair.

Bai Ye translated the words on it for Wanda and Susan.

Wanda remained silent for a while upon hearing this, finally sighing softly: "I wonder what Thanoswould think if he saw this?"

"He wouldn't care." Bai Ye stated frankly.

"In his eyes, this merely proves he was right."

Susan shook her head: "What a madman."

Bai Ye put away the metal plate, turned, and walked outside: "Let's go. There's nothing left to see here."

The three left the council hall and stood once again on the desolate plains of Titan.

Chapter 133

The dark red sky seemed to be eternally frozen, with no clouds, no wind, only dead silence.

Wanda looked up at the dark red sky and softly said, "The Universe is so vast, but why is destruction always easier than creation?"

Susan glanced at her, uncharacteristically refraining from teasing, and explained:

"Because destruction only requires power, while creation not only needs power but also wisdom and patience."

Bai Ye did not participate in their conversation, merely looking into the distance.

The sunset on Titan slowly sank below the horizon, the last ray of light casting over the ruins, as if offering a final lament for this dead civilization.

"It's time to go," Bai Ye finally said.

Wanda and Susan nodded 217, and the three of them turned and walked towards the golden crow.

Behind them, the ruins of Titan were gradually swallowed by darkness.

Like countless forgotten civilizations in the Universe, they would eventually vanish in the long river of time.

Soon, the three boarded the spaceship and sat on the nano-material recliners.

The spaceship slowly took off, leaving the abandoned Planet Titan.

Wanda stood by the viewport, taking one last look at the gradually receding yellowish-brown Planet, and softly said:

"The demise of a civilization is so... quiet."

Bai Ye stood at the main console, looking at the holographic star map above, and stated directly:

"The Universe never pities the weak; destruction is the norm."

After speaking, Bai Ye raised his hand, his fingertip tracing across the holographic star map.

His gaze locked onto a coordinate: the Kree Empire's homeworld, Hala.

"golden crow," Bai Ye commanded the golden crow.

"Set course for the Kree homeworld."

"Command confirmed," the golden crow's mechanical voice echoed in the cabin.

"Target coordinates locked, initiating space warp engine."

The spaceship's thrusters glowed with an ethereal blue light, and space began to twist, compress, and then...

Whoosh!

The golden crow vanished instantly, leaving behind only a ripple of unsettled space.

Chapter 189 Kree Empire

When the spaceship exited warp again, outside the viewport was an unfamiliar star system.

In the distance, a deep blue Planet hung silently in the Universe, surrounded by several massive space fortresses.

Kree warships patrolled the orbit like a swarm of bees, their strict defense system showcasing the power of this military empire.

Susan's eyes widened slightly, and she asked curiously, "Is this the Kree homeworld?"

Wanda narrowed her eyes, her Chaos Magic directly penetrating the atmosphere to scan the military facilities on the Planet's surface.

"It looks heavily guarded. Should we just barge in?"

Bai Ye shook his head, a mischievous smile on his face: "No, we'll try a different approach."

Kree biotechnology and technology are somewhat useful, such as their technique for creating Inhumans.

He waved his hand, and the golden crow's appearance began to twist and deform.

Metal armor reassembled, energy patterns shifted, all within a few seconds.

The entire spaceship was disguised as a Kree advanced patrol vessel, even perfectly mimicking its energy signature.

"The Kree identification system is very strict, but the golden crow's transformation ability is enough to fool them."

Bai Ye said with a confident expression.

"Now, we'll go in openly."

The golden crow adjusted its course and slowly sailed towards Planet Hala.

Sure enough, after being scanned by the Kree defense system, no alarm was triggered.

They merely routinely confirmed the patrol vessel's identification code, then allowed it to pass.

Wanda raised an eyebrow: "That simple?"

"The Kree are arrogant and have a strict hierarchy," Bai Ye responded with a smile.

"No one dares to stop an advanced patrol vessel."

The spaceship passed through the atmosphere and landed at the capital military port of Planet Hala.

The hatch opened, and the three stepped out. Around them were busy Kree soldiers and engineers, yet not a single person cast a suspicious glance their way.

Susan lowered her voice: "Now what? Go directly to their Supreme Leader?"

Bai Ye's gaze swept across the distant Imperial Council Building, and an idea came to him: "No, let them fall into chaos first."

Bai Ye raised his hand, and the Mind Stone on his Infinite Gauntlet glowed faintly with his will.

"What the Kree fear most is rebellion."

As Bai Ye's words fell, the Mind Stone's energy silently spread, seeping into the consciousness of the surrounding Kree like invisible ripples.

Hala, the capital of the Kree Empire.

These proud warriors were mechanically performing their daily tasks: patrolling, inspecting, reporting. However, the moment Bai Ye used the Mind Stone, their eyes briefly glazed over, and then... "Traitor!"

A roar suddenly erupted in the military port.

A Kree Officer abruptly drew his energy gun and pulled the trigger, aiming at his colleague beside him.

"How dare you question the Supreme Intelligence's orders?!"

"No! You betrayed the Empire!"

In an instant, chaos spread like wildfire.

The once orderly military port plunged into madness, Kree soldiers unexpectedly attacking each other.

Everyone saw a traitor in their eyes, the explosive sound of energy guns, the roar of metal colliding.

Angry roars intertwined, and the entire port devolved into bloody infighting.

Wanda stood beside Bai Ye, asking with some curiosity, "dear, did you control their minds with the Mind Stone?"

"No, I merely amplified their inner suspicions," Bai Ye explained with a smile.

"The Kree inherently worship strength, and internal factional struggles have never ceased. I just made their conflicts erupt prematurely."

Upon hearing this, Wanda immediately floated in mid-air, perceiving the city's chaos with Chaos Magic, and stated directly:

"Their high command has noticed; the Council Building is mobilizing elite troops."

"Perfect."

Bai Ye, who had no good feelings for the Kree Empire that had previously tried to invade Earth, had an icy gaze.

"Let them see with their own eyes how fragile their Empire is."

...Kree Council Building, Supreme Command Room

The Supreme Intelligence's holographic projection hung high above the throne, its cold mechanical voice echoing in the hall.

"Abnormal mental fluctuations detected, alien invaders, locking onto target."

Darbenn, the Kree Empire's new Supreme Commander, suddenly stood up, his war hammer weapon erupting with purple energy.

"Someone dares to cause chaos on Planet Hala?!"

A Kree Officer rushed forward to report in a panic: "Officer! Soldiers in the port, barracks, and even the space fortress are killing each other! We've lost control of 70 units!"

Darbenn's face turned extremely grim upon hearing this: "Is it a Skrulls disguise? Or a Nova Corpsconspiracy?!"

"No!" The Supreme Intelligence's projection flickered.

"Energy signature matched, it's some kind of high-dimensional energy!"

Darbenn's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this: "What?!"

...Above the military port

Bai Ye and the two women hovered in the air, looking down at the chaos below.

Kree warships collided in uncontrolled mayhem, the explosions' fire reflecting red in the sky.

Wanda softly said, "According to you, this Empire has done a lot of bad things?"

Bai Ye glanced at her: "The Kree Empire has invaded countless Planets and enslaved countless races; there isn't much innocence among them."

Susan frowned: "Emmm, I just saw some bad things through the Force Field energy, and I feel like my mind is being polluted."

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You're right, let's finish this quickly."

He waved his hand, and the Mind energy fluctuations suddenly reversed.

The previously frenzied Kree soldiers suddenly stopped, looking at each other blankly, as if waking from a nightmare.

However, the seeds of chaos had been sown, and the Kree Empire's rule began to waver from this moment on.

Top of the Council Building

Darbenn glared at the three figures hovering in the distance, her war hammer erupting with violent energy as she roared:

"Invaders! Do you think this can destroy the Kree Empire? Fools!"

Her roar echoed through the sky via the city-wide broadcast:

"All forces, listen to my command! Annihilate the enemy at all costs!"

Countless Kree warships turned their muzzles, the humming of energy weapons charging like the whisper of the God of Death.

Bai Ye merely chuckled lightly and ordered the golden crow above.

"Disguise off, initiate attack mode."

The next second, the golden crow's metal armor unfurled with a roar, its massive mechanical wings obscuring the sky.

Blazing energy converged at the muzzles, like the mythical golden crow descending to the mortal realm, declaring to the entire Kree Empire:

"Your doomsday has arrived."

...

Chapter 190 Empire's Destruction, Interstellar Travel

"Fire!"

Darbenn's roar echoed across the battlefield, and the Kree Empire's fleet simultaneously unleashed devastating energy gunfire.

Countless dazzling beams instantly blasted towards the golden crow.

However, all attacks abruptly halted a hundred meters from the spaceship, as if hitting an invisible wall, failing to even stir a ripple.

Bai Ye's eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery; his Bio-Force Field had already enveloped the entire spaceship.

"Is this all the Kree weapons are capable of?"

As his words fell, Bai Ye waved his hand, and the golden crow's armor reassembled, its muzzles rotated, and blazing energy instantly converged.

"golden crow, Solar Flare Cannon! Fire."

Boom!!!

Chapter 134

A blinding beam of light pierced the sky, instantly vaporizing dozens of Kree warships along its path.

The aftershock even tore through the clouds, leaving a scorched rift on the ground.

When Darbenn saw this, her face turned completely pale, paying tribute to the previous Commander, Ronan, in this regard.

"Impossible! How can such a small muzzle unleash such terrifying firepower? What kind of technology is this?!"

But Bai Ye clearly had no intention of wasting any more time.

"Let's go. It's time to end this."

Bai Ye, Wanda, and Susan flew forward, hovering like descending Gods over the military core area of the Kree Empire.

Darbenn raised the war hammer in her hand and roared as she charged: "Invaders! Accept the judgment of the Kree Empire!"

Bai Ye didn't even look at her, merely narrowing his eyes slightly.

Whoosh!

Two streaks of scarlet Heat Vision instantly pierced Darbenn's chest.

The second Commander of the Kree Empire was incinerated in the high heat before she could even scream.

It is worth mentioning that her predecessor, Ronan, the strongest Commander of the Kree Empire, also died by Bai Ye's hand.

Wanda's Chaos Magic instantly spread out; crimson energy wrapped around the charging Kree soldiers, crushing them directly.

The Force Field energy in Susan's hands transformed into a powerful Impact. The Kree armor was instantly torn apart like paper, and the entire elite unit was wiped out in seconds.

The three entered the building unopposed, directly storming the Council Tower.

Before the Kree high-ranking Commanders could even press the alarm, a Dragon Blast from Bai Yeswept through the entire command room.

Crimson flames directly consumed all resistance.

Subsequently, Bai Ye used astral projection to directly invade the Kree Empire's electronic system, and countless data streams surged into his consciousness.

The manufacturing and technological secrets of Kree warships, biological genetic modification experiments, and the method of creating the Inhumans.

In just a few seconds, he completely mastered the Kree Empire's tens of thousands of years of technological accumulation.

The projection of the Supreme Intelligence flickered on the broken terminal, its mechanical voice still cold:

"You cannot destroy the Kree Empire. We have already sown our seeds throughout the Galaxy!"

Bai Ye laughed upon hearing this and stated bluntly:

"Seeds?"

"Then this Planet has no need to exist."

The three returned to the golden crow. The spaceship ascended into space, looking down upon Hala.

Bai Ye clicked on the golden crow's main cannon system on the primary console.

Instantly, the entire spaceship's armor lit up with a blinding golden light, and energy gathered to its limit.

"Fire."

Boom!!!

A Planet-piercing beam erupted, and Hala's core was instantly struck through by the golden crow's light beam.

Bang!!

The entire Planet exploded in the silent Universe, turning into countless fragments. The glory and ambition of the Kree Empire were utterly annihilated at this moment.

Wanda gazed at the afterglow of the explosion and whispered, "It's over, their sin."

Susan crossed her arms, snorting coldly, and stated bluntly, "One menace less in the Universe."

Bai Ye retracted his gaze and raised his hand to continue operating the console.

"Let's go, time to continue the journey!"

The golden crow's engines started, and the light of the space warp lit up again. The spaceship instantly vanished into the star field.

After leaving the Kree Empire, Bai Ye and the two women did not immediately return to Earth but piloted the golden crow, wandering through the vast Universe.

They crossed the sea of stars, traveling between brilliant galaxies, witnessing countless strange civilizations and sights... The Shiar Empire, Sky City.

The Shiar Empire's capital, Sky City, floated above the atmosphere of a gas giant Planet, the entire city supported by anti-gravity technology.

Golden architectural complexes shimmered faintly in the sea of clouds, like a heavenly kingdom from mythology.

Wanda stood on the spaceship's viewing platform, looking at the flowing sea of clouds and the traversing spacecraft outside the window, her eyes shining with wonder: "This place is like a dream."

Susan looked at everything before her and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, but it feels a bit too focused on extravagance; it's not very practical."

Bai Ye chuckled: "The Shi'ar people advocate the combination of art and technology. Their architectural style is certainly unique."

They landed in a sky garden, strolling along the floating corridors, sampling the specialty cuisine of the Shiar Empire.

A liquid crystal jelly that changed color with temperature, melting instantly in the mouth with a sweet and refreshing taste... The Land of Nihility.

An ancient Celestial head that had been hollowed out now served as the most famous black market in the Universe.

It gathered merchants, mercenaries, criminals from various star systems, and even the subordinates of The Collector, Taneleer Tivan.

Susan browsed the various stalls with interest: "This place is much more exciting than the markets on Earth."

The shop owner was an alien with tentacles who claimed that spraying different perfumes could make people experience pure joy or elegant melancholy.

Bai Ye casually bought a bottle of Serene Star and handed it to Wanda: "Want to try it?"

Wanda sprayed a little. Instantly, her eyes widened slightly, and she sighed in admiration:

"This feeling... it's like lying on the grass on a summer night watching the stars—quiet and beautiful."

Bai Ye smiled and looked toward a weapons shop not far away.

They were auctioning a short blade rumored to be able to cut through space.

However, Bai Ye lost interest after just a glance.

Such an item was something he could create casually; it was insignificant... Xandar.

This was a vibrant blue Planet, famous for its highly developed civilization and the powerful Nova Corps.

The cities here were futuristic, with aerial lanes crisscrossing, and Nova Corps patrol fleets streaking across the sky like silver meteors.

The trio disguised themselves as ordinary tourists and strolled through the capital's central plaza.

Holographic projections played news in the sky, one of which caught their attention.

"Kree Empire destroyed; Galactic Council calls emergency meeting."

Wanda lowered her voice and said to Bai Ye: "It seems our deeds have spread throughout many star systems nearby."

Susan shrugged, indicating that she had expected it: "As Bai said, the Kree made too many enemies. Probably few people will mourn for them."

Bai Ye offered no comment, merely taking the two into an interstellar restaurant, ordering three Xandarspecialty dishes, and eating... Chapter 191 Vormir, Red Skull.

Chapter 191 Vormir, Red Skull

Sovereign.

A Planet ruled by a genetically modified, perfect race.

The buildings, clothing, and even skin here shimmered with a golden luster. The entire civilization was filled with extreme arrogance and perfectionism.

As soon as Bai Ye and the others landed, they were stopped by a squad of Sovereign soldiers.

"Outsiders, your spaceship does not meet our aesthetic standards—please leave immediately."

Susan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but complain: "Are the people in this place crazy?"

Bai Ye didn't bother arguing with these guys and directly used his psychic ability to make the soldiers ignore their presence.

The trio strolled down the golden streets, watching the Sovereign people scrutinize everything imperfect with disdainful eyes, finding it quite amusing.

Wanda picked up a golden ornament, looked at it, and put it back, stating frankly: "The items here are a bit too flashy."

Bai Ye shrugged and said, "Sovereign people believe they breathe more elegantly than others; don't worry about it."

After leaving Sovereign, the golden crow accidentally entered an unknown star field where the spatial structure was abnormal.

The entire starscape was shrouded in magnificent auroras, with colorful energy flowing, beautiful enough to be breathtaking.

Wanda leaned against the porthole, the brilliant light reflected in her eyes: "I've never seen a sight like this."

A rare relaxed smile appeared on Susan's face: "The Universe is indeed full of surprises."

Bai Ye stood behind them, his gaze fixed on the scene as well.

After their cosmic journey, the golden crow finally changed course, heading in another direction.

Wanda stretched and sighed contentedly: "This trip was really great."

Susan leaned back in her seat and asked languidly, "Can we go further, perhaps to the edge of the Universe?"

Bai Ye smiled, his gaze penetrating countless star systems to look directly at a certain Planet.

"We can, but first, let's take care of business."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai opened a Portal to the Planet he had just seen.

The golden crow passed directly through the Portal opened by Bai Ye and arrived at its destination... Vormir, outer orbit.

The golden crow emerged from the Portal opened by Bai Ye and hovered in the outer perimeter of this barren Planet.

The entire Planet was an eerie dark red, its surface covered with rifts and cliffs, as if torn apart by some ancient power.

Susan stood by the porthole, looking at the nearby Planet, her brow slightly furrowed.

"This Planet gives me a very uncomfortable feeling."

Wanda used her Chaos Magic to penetrate the clouds and scan the surface of Vormir, stating frankly:

"Energy readings are abnormal; there is a strong energy reaction underground."

Bai Ye's gaze locked onto a peak deep within the Planet, his Super Vision penetrating the rock layers.

He directly saw the altar suspended in the void, and the gem radiating an orange-yellow light deep inside.

"The last gem besides the Time Stone," Bai Ye murmured.

The golden crow began its descent, passing through the thin atmosphere, finally landing on a platform at the edge of a cliff.

The trio stepped out of the spaceship, met by howling cold wind and endless desolation.

In the center of the platform, a figure clad in tattered black robes slowly turned around.

Its face was blood red, and its eye sockets were vacant, like a zombie.

This ghostly looking figure was named Red Skull.

He was the former leader of HYDRA who dominated Earth. After being transported to this Planet by the Time Stone, he now served as the guardian of the Soul Stone.

Red Skull's face was withered, his eyes hollow, and his voice hoarse and cold:

"Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, the avatar of Chaos Magic."

Then Red Skull's gaze shifted to Susan, his brow furrowed, looking confused: "Your power shouldn't be like this..."

Finally, Red Skull looked at Bai Ye, his pupils suddenly contracting, as if seeing some incomprehensible existence.

Chapter 135

"You, who are you?!"

Red Skull's voice wavered for the first time, even carrying a hint of terror.

"You are not from this World, your Soul, I cannot decipher it!"

Bai Ye didn't answer, merely stating, "Hand over the Soul Stone."

Red Skull paused, then let out a hoarse laugh: "Do you think the Soul Stone can be taken so easily?"

Red Skull spread his arms, his black robe flapping in the wind.

"To obtain it, you must sacrifice the one you love; this is the rule of Eternity!"

Wanda and Susan both tensed, looking sharply at Bai Ye.

"What?!" Wanda's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Must one sacrifice the person they love most?"

Hearing this ridiculous premise, Susan's face darkened slightly, and she bluntly asked, "What kind of idiotic rule is this?"

Bai Ye, however, remained calm, merely glancing at Red Skull.

Then Bai Ye stepped forward, leaping directly from the cliff!

"3# Neon Japanese Scattered [Ling Kick ? Abandon (s three) Si Bai Ye!"

Wanda exclaimed, instinctively calling out his true name, and simultaneously tried to pull him back with Chaos Magic.

But Bai Ye's figure was already rapidly descending, disappearing into the abyss.

Red Skull was stunned, clearly not expecting this development, and said in disbelief, "He, he jumped down?"

Susan patted Wanda's shoulder, chuckled softly, her tone full of confidence.

"Don't worry, Bai, he'll be fine. You're just flustered because you care."

"Don't forget, this man is a God!"

...Below the abyss.

Bai Ye's body suddenly accelerated in its fall, reaching the bottom in an instant.

This was not solid ground, but a void.

A domain seemingly torn apart by some Force.

There was no light, no sound, only endless darkness.

But Bai Ye could clearly feel the Soul Stone, right here...

Chapter 192: Forcibly Subduing the Soul

"Soul Stone." Bai Ye's voice echoed in the void.

"I know you can hear me."

"I need you now. Will you come out yourself, or should I find you?"

After a moment of silence, an ethereal and ancient voice directly sounded in Bai Ye's mind.

"Come on."

This voice carried a hint of provocation and temptation, clearly not intending to come out on its own.

Bai Ye smiled: "Alright."

The next second, Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up with a brilliant golden light, his Soul leaving his body.

His spiritual body directly detached from his physical form, extending infinitely in this void.

His consciousness spread like a tide, searching for the origin of the Soul Stone.

"Found you."

Bai Ye's spiritual body suddenly locked onto a certain direction and reached out to grab it.

"Boom!!" "257"!

The entire void space trembled violently, and an orange-yellow light burst forth like an eruption!

The Soul Stone was forced to reveal itself!

The moment Bai Ye's Soul Power forcibly locked onto the Soul Stone, an orange-yellow light suddenly erupted.

The entire void space seemed to come alive, and a greedy and ancient will directly rushed towards Bai Ye's Soul.

"What a powerful Soul. Devouring you will be much more useful than the previous nutrients!"

The Soul Stone's will began to surge into the depths of Bai Ye's consciousness, attempting to erode his consciousness and occupy his body.

It had devoured countless powerful Souls, and even the consciousness of the Celestials had been corrupted by it.

However, it chose the wrong opponent today; Bai Ye's Soul was much stronger than the Celestials.

Just as its power was about to touch the core of Bai Ye's Soul.

Buzz!!!

A brilliant golden barrier unfolded in Bai Ye's sea of consciousness.

The Soul Stone's power crashed against it like ice meeting a scorching sun, instantly melting away.

"What?! What kind of power is this?!" The Soul Stone's will showed fear for the first time.

Bai Ye's Soul manifested in his sea of consciousness, watching it with a smirk, disdainfully saying, "You think you can devour me?"

The Soul Stone struggled frantically, its orange-yellow energy coiling like a venomous snake, yet utterly unable to break through Bai Ye's blockade.

"Alright, it's time to end this!"

As his voice fell, Bai Ye used the Power of Ten Billion Gods to elevate his power beyond a single Universe.

Immediately, golden runes emerged from the void, wrapping around the Soul Stone like chains.

Each rune contained a suppressive force that transcended the rules of this Universe.

The Soul Stone's light flickered violently, emitting a piercing shriek.

"No! This is impossible! What exactly are you?! Let me go!"

However, the power enhanced by the Power of Ten Billion Gods gave the Soul Stone no room to resist.

Crack!

The runic chains tightened abruptly, the Soul Stone's light dimmed instantly, and it finally surrendered completely.

Bai Ye reached out, and the Soul Stone obediently fell into his palm, no longer showing any intention of resistance...Above the cliff.

Wanda and Susan were waiting for Bai Ye when suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from the abyss below, and the entire Planet trembled!

"Boom!!!"

A golden light shot into the sky, and Bai Ye's figure reappeared on the platform.

In his hand, he held the orange-yellow gem, and its light was as docile as a pet.

Red Skull collapsed to the ground at the sight, his voice trembling with disbelief:

"No, this is impossible, the Soul Stone, it was forcibly conquered!"

Wanda hurried forward, her eyes full of shock, and blurted out, "dear! Are you alright?"

Bai Ye put away the gem and said calmly, "It wanted to devour me, but unfortunately, its appetite wasn't big enough."

Susan chuckled softly: "It seems the so-called rule of sacrificing a loved one doesn't apply to you?"

Bai Ye glanced at her: "Rules are for those who follow them."

Red Skull stared blankly at them, muttering, "Who exactly are you people?"

"Just a passing God!" Bai Ye casually tossed out a Wang Xiaoming meme, then turned and walked towards the golden crow.

"Let's go, it's time for the next stop."

The three boarded the spaceship, the engine started, and the golden crow instantly broke through Vormir's atmosphere, disappearing into the depths of the Universe.

Behind them, the entire Planet's mountains collapsed, and Red Skull's figure was forever buried in this desolate land...In the depths of the Universe, the golden crow's main control cabin.

The spaceship silently cruised through the boundless star sea, with a brilliant galaxy outside the viewport.

The light of countless stars scattered across the dark curtain...

Wanda leaned back in a soft chair on the observation deck, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window.

Susan, meanwhile, sat in front of the control panel, scanning the star map, and casually asked:

"Bai, where are we going next? We can't just keep drifting aimlessly, can we?"

He didn't answer immediately, but instead raised his hand and tossed the newly acquired Soul Stoneinto the air.

Wanda and Susan were immediately drawn by Bai Ye's action, looking over with curiosity.

After tossing out the Soul Stone, Bai Ye raised his wrist, revealing his infinity gauntlet.

It was already adorned with the Power Stone, Space Stone, Mind Stone, and Reality Stone.

The moment the four gems appeared, the Soul Stone in the air resonated with them, emitting suffocating energy fluctuations.

The cabin's light within the entire golden crow was distorted by their presence.

Susan felt the gems' energy and frowned slightly: "These gems contain unmatched energy."

Bai Ye's expression was calm, and with a light tap of his finger, the Soul Stone slowly flew towards the gauntlet.

"Click!"

The Soul Stone perfectly embedded into the slot, and instantly, the violent energy of the five gems erupted.

Bai Ye's entire right arm was instantly enveloped in brilliant flowing light, and five-colored energy Veinsappeared on his skin, traces of the Infinity Rules flowing within him.

Wanda and Susan instinctively took half a step back. They felt the terrifying power, enough to destroy heaven and earth, hence their subconscious retreat.

But Bai Ye merely clenched his fist slightly, and all the energy fluctuations instantly converged, becoming completely obedient.

"Not bad."

Bai Ye felt the power of the five gems within him, and commented lightly.

Then, he took out another silver-white metal gauntlet from his personal space.

This was an Infinity Gauntlet he had replicated in his spare time, capable of bearing the gems' power.

"Susan."

Bai Ye tossed the gauntlet and an extra Space Stone over.

Susan caught it with a raised eyebrow, saying in surprise, "For me?"

"Your Force Field ability combined with the Space Stone should unleash considerable combat power," Bai Ye said.

Wanda shook the Mind Stone that Bai Ye had given her earlier, which hung around her neck, and chuckled, "It seems we're forming an Infinity Squad?".

Chapter 193: Ultimate Ultron?

Seeing this, Susan didn't hesitate, directly putting on the Infinity Gauntlet and then embedding the Space Stone into the slot.

Boom!

Violent spatial energy instantly surged into her body, and her Force Field energy and physique underwent insane evolution under the Space Stone's enhancement.

Chapter 136

Susan's eyes blazed with fierce blue light, her muscle-fiber density skyrocketing.

Even the air around her warped under the pressure of her spatial Force Field.

When the turbulence finally settled, Susan slowly clenched her fist, feeling the spatial power surging inside her, and smiled with confidence.

"I've never felt better. With the Force Field plus spatial power, I could destroy a Planet."

Wanda blinked. "Want to give it a shot?"

Susan laughed at Wanda's suggestion, shook her head, and gazed eagerly at a barren Planet outside the porthole.

Bai Ye raised a hand to stop her. "Eleven—don't rush the test. Gem energy isn't easy to control."

"First get properly acquainted with this power, then decide."

"If you misuse it, you could destroy yourself."

Susan nodded obediently and reined in her Force Field energy.

Wanda toyed with the Mind Stone. "dear, are you the strongest in the Universe now?"

Bai Ye glanced at the five gems on his gauntlet, nodded, then shook his head.

"I've always been the strongest; with the Infinity Stones that's even more true."

"But they're only tools—true strength never relies on externals."

Bai Ye's gaze pierced the endless starfields.

"Still, there are things I can now do that I couldn't before."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the cosmos…

In a dark hall a towering figure snapped his head up.

Skin like molten purple-gold, eyes as deep as abysses, a savage vertical scar on his broad chin.

This was Thanos.

He rose slowly; a device before him flickered as if answering a call.

"Someone… is collecting the gems," Thanos rumbled, voice low and cold.

Behind him, Proxima Midnight knelt. "Master, our scout ship reports: the Kree Empire has fallen, Halacompletely destroyed."

Corvus Glaive added, "Energy readings on Vormir spiked—likely the Soul Stone has been taken."

Thanos was silent, then clenched his fist. "Find them."

"The Infinity Stones are mine alone."

Deep space—aboard the Golden Crow's command cabin.

Wanda lounged in her seat, twirling the Mind Stone.

Scarlet Magic entwined with the gem's yellow glow, reflected in her eyes.

Susan stood at the console, scanning route data, occasionally glancing at the Space Stone on her gauntlet.

She even used her Force Field ability to analyze the gem's properties.

Bai Ye rested with closed eyes; the infinity gauntlet on his right wrist shimmered as five gem energies cycled through his cells in perfect fusion.

Suddenly Bai Ye opened his eyes, looked ahead—and the next second—bzzzt!!!

Space before the ship twisted without warning, a huge blue Portal ripping open.

"Alert! Anomalous spatial fluctuation detected!" the Golden Crow's robotic voice announced.

Wanda and Susan looked up as countless metal robots poured from the Portal.

Their forms were vicious, armor etched with runes of an unknown civilization, eyes glowing blood-red.

"What the—?!"

Susan snapped into combat stance; blue light from the Space Stone swirled around her glove.

Wanda's Chaos Magic boiled, scarlet energy wrapping her body.

"These robots aren't from this Universe!"

Bai Ye's Super Vision pierced the swarm, locking onto something deep inside the Portal.

Boom!!!

A colossal figure drifted out, far larger than any robot.

A dark-gold Mechanical Titan nearly three meters tall, its armor brutal.

A black cape fluttered behind it; in its chest sat six Infinity Stones.

"That is—?!" Susan's pupils shrank.

Wanda's breath caught. "Six gems?! Impossible!"

The Mechanical Titan hovered in space, crimson optic sensors sweeping in mild confusion.

Then its gaze fixed on the golden crow, scanning beams enveloping the ship.

"Abnormal energy detected—Infinity Stones, three anomalous lifeforms…"

Its electronic eyes flickered as it processed data.

"Threat level: Extreme."

Bai Ye flew straight to the front of the ship and locked eyes with Ultron, his voice carrying across space. "Ultron?"

The Mechanical Titan paused for a moment, then replied,

"You know me? Correct. I am Ultimate Ultron, from a dead Universe."

(Not the Infinity Ultron from What If—that one's too overpowered; this is the nerfed version.)

"And I will end life in all 527 Universes."

Ultron raised his arm; the six gems in his chest flared in unison.

Power! Space! Reality! Mind! Time! Soul!

Six-colored light intertwined into a torrent of energy capable of tearing dimensions apart, blasting straight at the Golden Crow!

Facing this strike, even Bai Ye had to treat it with utmost seriousness.

"Golden Crow, recall!"

Whoosh!

The entire golden crow ship was instantly stowed into private space so fast that Ultron's scanners couldn't even react.

In the next instant Bai Ye grabbed Wanda with his left hand and Susan with his right, rocketing backward faster than light.

BOOM!!!

Ultron's six-gem energy torrent grazed their after-images, vaporizing every star for several light-years behind them into nothingness.

"That guy—six gems?!" Susan stabilized herself at top speed.

"How do we fight him?"

Even as she spoke she was already charging up; the blue glow of the Space Stone shimmered over her gauntlet.

Wanda's Scarlet Magic surged, the Mind Stone's light resonating with her Chaos energy.

"Just like you said on Vormir—trust dear and we'll be fine."

Susan couldn't help laughing. "You're absolutely right!"

Chapter 194 – Three Heroes vs. Ultron

Ultron's electronic eyes locked onto the trio; his mechanical voice echoed through the cosmic vacuum.

"Escape velocity exceeding lightspeed? Interesting."

"Then how about this time?"

As the words fell, the six Infinity Stones blazed again.

A single beam woven from all six gems shot from Ultron's hand.

With no golden crow holding him back, Bai Ye didn't dodge; he pushed the Power of Ten Billion Godsto its peak.

Then he raised his fist and punched straight into the energy torrent.

BOOM!!!

A brilliant explosion lit space; Bai Ye's fist collided with the six-gem blast, the shockwave shattering everything nearby.

Seeing this, Susan and Wanda joined the fight.

Susan blazed with dazzling blue light from head to toe.

She thrust her hands forward, Space and Force Field energies erupting, applying power to Ultron from afar.

"Spatial Lock!"

In an instant the patch of space around Ultron was completely sealed.

Wanda followed close behind, Chaos Magic turning into countless scarlet chains that lashed toward Ultron.

"Think you're the only one with gems?!"

Wanda roared; the Mind Stone's yellow light fused with her Chaos power, multiplying the chains' might.

Ultron snorted; all six gems on his body flared together.

Crack!

The scarlet chains and surrounding spatial force shattered and dissolved into the void.

"What?!"

Wanda and Susan stared in shock.

At that moment Bai Ye, who had just punched Ultron's six-gem blast apart, appeared in front of him.

Five gems on the infinity gauntlet circling his right wrist blazed in unison.

"Go back to your Universe."

Energy from the five gems converged to a peak as Bai Ye threw a punch.

Ultron's face changed; he hurriedly channeled all six gems to counter.

BOOM!!!

The clash of two sets of infinite power tore space in this sector of the Universe.

When the light of the Infinity Stones faded, nothing remained there.

The next second the Space Stone's blue light flashed—Ultron reappeared before the trio as the Time Stone's green glow lit up.

"Still."

Space froze; even particles moving at lightspeed were locked in place.

Wanda and Susan's bodies stiffened as if someone had hit pause.

Only Bai Ye was unaffected; a single gem's power couldn't restrain him.

Pale-gold runes shimmered around him, and he broke the Time Stone's bind with ease.

The infinity gauntlet on Bai Ye's right hand flared; the Space Stone's blue light erupted.

"Let's change venues!"

Whoosh!

Chapter 137

The four of them were simultaneously swallowed by the Spatial Vortex, appearing in an instant at the edge of a barren galaxy.

Around them were only floating asteroid belts and a dying red giant star.

Ultron scanned the surroundings and seemed somewhat surprised, saying, "Spatial Jump, the precision far exceeds calculations."

Bai Ye didn't waste words with Ultron and directly threw a punch.

The Power Stone on the infinity gauntlet glowed purple, infinitely enhancing Bai Ye's strength. Wherever his fist passed, space shattered inch by inch.

Ultron raised his hand to block, and the energy of the six Infinity Stones formed a Force Field.

Bang!!!

A terrifying Impact exploded, instantly pulverizing the nearby asteroid belt!

Wanda and Susan seized the opportunity to break free from the time constraint and attacked from both sides!

"Die for me!!"

Susan's Space Stone erupted with full power, teleporting behind Ultron and unleashing a Dimensional Slash using the Space Stone's power.

Ultron didn't even turn his head, and the red light of the Reality Stone flashed.

Susan's Dimensional Slash suddenly passed through Ultron's phantom, and the Dimensional Slashalso rushed forward due to inertia, lacking a target!

It directly cut through a large area of asteroids in the distant space.

"An illusion?!"

Wanda's Chaos Magic transformed into countless scarlet spears, stabbing at Ultron from all directions, roaring, "Die!"

Ultron's Mind Stone's yellow light surged, and a mental Impact directly blasted towards Wanda!

Chaos Magic automatically protected her body, and the Mind Stone's attack was forcefully blocked.

Boom!!!

The explosion of the two mental energies pushed both of them back.

"His Infinity Stones are stronger than ours!" Wanda gritted her teeth.

"Not stronger, just because he is in his complete form."

Bai Ye's Divine Talent continuously analyzed the data on this Ultron.

"But, the Infinity Stones are not his only advantage!"

As his voice fell, Bai Ye suddenly looked up, and a single Heat Vision capable of crushing a Universeerupted from his eyes.

Sizzle!!!

The scorching red beam directly hit Ultron's chest, causing the six Infinity Stones' Force Field to fluctuate slightly!

Ultron looked down at his scorched armor, his electronic voice cold.

"...Special physique and Infinity Stones, you are indeed an anomaly."

"But my mission is to eradicate all life in the Universe."

The six Infinity Stones lit up simultaneously, and a beam of light capable of annihilating reality shot out!

Seeing this, Bai Ye knew the two women couldn't withstand the aftermath, so he pulled Wanda and Susan, and the Space Stone activated again.

Whoosh!

The three avoided it again, and their previous location was directly wiped into nothingness.

"This is going to be endless!"

Susan looked at the destroyed cosmic space around them and stated, "We have to find a way to strip him of his Infinity Stones!"

Bai Ye looked at the six Infinity Stone slots on Ultron's chest, his Divine Talent having already analyzed its weaknesses.

"I've found the weakness," Bai Ye immediately ordered the two.

"Wanda, use Chaos Magic to interfere with the Reality Stone. Susan, prepare for a full-power attack, preferably close-range!" (King Nuo's)

"Understood!"

Wanda formed hand seals, her Chaos Magic resonating with the Mind Stone, and a crimson storm swept out.

Ultron was about to use the Reality Stone to counterattack, but found the red light's operation delayed by 0.1 seconds.

"What? Fate!"

For a strong person, this momentary flaw is enough to seize an opportunity.

Bai Ye instantly teleported in front of Ultron's chest, his right hand quickly striking his armor.

The Power of Ten Billion Gods activated, along with the Mechanical Corruption Game and Expel External Force Game.

With a 'crack', a clear fissure appeared on Ultron's armor.

And the location was precisely where Ultron had installed the six Infinity Stones.

"The Infinity Stones are mine!"

As Bai Ye's voice fell, the purple Power Stone, representing power, was stripped from Ultron.

Seeing this, Ultron's electronic eyes flickered wildly, and he shouted unwillingly:

"No!!!"

Chapter 195: Displaying Divine Power, Crushing Ultron

Watching Bai Ye strip an Infinity Stone from Ultron.

Susan, following Bai Ye's previous hint, instantly teleported in front of Ultron.

Her fist condensed spatial fluctuations that could crush all things.

"Die for me!!!"

The blue light of the Space Stone superimposed with the explosive power of Force Field energy.

Susan's punch landed squarely on Ultron's head.

Rumble!!!

Ultron's metallic head instantly twisted and deformed under the effect of spatial power.

The entire machine body smashed into the distant red giant star like a meteor.

The explosion's fire instantly illuminated the entire starfield.

The three floated in space, looking at the dying star.

"Is it resolved?" Wanda asked uncertainly, looking at the scene.

Bai Ye stared at the Power Stone he had just stripped, shook his head, and stated directly:

"No, he still has five Infinity Stones; he won't die that easily!"

As Bai Ye's voice fell, the core of the distant red giant star suddenly contracted.

Boom!!!

The entire star was ignited by some force, and Ultron's figure slowly emerged from the light of the Supernova Explosion.

He still had five Infinity Stones in his chest, but his damaged armor was repairing at a visible speed of 0.43.

Ultron, in his unique electronic voice, stated directly, "You have angered me."

"Angered you?"

Bai Ye heard this, smiled, shook his head, and slowly raised the infinity gauntlet, the five Infinity Stoneson it lighting up simultaneously.

"Did you misunderstand something? When did you start having the illusion that this is my full strength?"

The next second... Boom!!! (Yi Ling Yi Qi Si Wu Wu Jiu Si Jiu Ba)

Bai Ye's figure instantly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already punched Ultron in the chest.

This punch was not just the power of a single Universe amplified by the Power of Ten Billion Gods.

It was also superimposed with the infinite amplification of the Power Stone.

Crack!!!

The Force Field formed by the five Infinity Stones was instantly shattered by Bai Ye.

And Ultron's armor behind the Force Field shattered like paper, his entire chest being forcefully pierced by Bai Ye.

"What?!"

Ultron's electronic eyes flickered wildly, and his entire body directly crashed into a deserted Planetdozens of light-years away.

Bang!

This deserted Planet exploded instantly like fireworks under Ultron's Impact.

However, Ultron quickly rose from the flames of the exploding Planet.

Five Infinity Stones flickered in his chest, and his armor rapidly repaired itself.

Ultron's electronic eyes locked onto Bai Ye, dozens of light-years away, and his cold voice vibrated in the vacuum, transmitting from afar:

"Time will stop at this moment."

The green light of the Time Stone suddenly erupted, and a time-stasis field instantly enveloped Bai Ye.

However, Bai Ye remained suspended in place, not even a corner of his clothes affected.

Ultron's electronic eyes suddenly contracted, disbelievingly saying:

"Impossible! Why is the Time Stone still ineffective against you?!"

Bai Ye slowly raised his head, a confident smile on his face, and wagged his finger, stating directly:

"Because gods are not bound by time." (Fox God's Quote)

In reality, it was because the Power of Ten Billion Gods made Bai Ye's body transcend a single Universe.

His extreme stats allowed him to ignore the rules of a single Universe.

Time, reality, mind, any rule power, could not affect him.

Ultron frantically calculated countermeasures, but Bai Ye had already moved.

"Your turn is over; now it's my turn to play."

The Space Stone's light flashed, and Bai Ye (Liu Yi Qi Yi Er Ba Ba) instantly appeared in front of Ultron, his right fist directly blasting towards its chest!

Bang!!!

Ultron's entire body was once again pierced by a single punch!

"Cough!"

Ultron's mechanical core flickered wildly, and he tried to use the Reality Stone to repair the damage.

But Bai Ye also used the power of the Reality Stone to directly suppress its rule rewriting.

"I told you, your Infinity Stones are ineffective against me."

Bai Ye quickly extended his left hand and dug out the Reality Stone from Ultron's chest!

"No!"

Seeing this, Ultron's mechanical voice fluctuated for the first time.

But Bai Ye's attack wasn't over. He pressed Ultron's head with one hand, and the Space Stone activated again.

Whoosh!

The two instantly appeared on the surface of a Neutron Star!

Without the Power Stone's amplification, the terrifying gravity instantly twisted Ultron's body.

And Bai Ye's terrifying body, which transcended the Universe, naturally ignored all of this.

"You like playing with Infinity Stones?"

Chapter 138

Bai Ye looked at Ultron, who was clinging to life, his tone full of mockery.

"Then try this."

As his voice fell, Bai Ye's soul directly invaded Ultron's core program, instantly paralyzing its system!

Ultron struggled to lift its arm, and the remaining four Infinity Stones attempted to fight back, but Bai Ye was faster.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four punches—each one landed precisely on the location where the Infinity Stones were embedded.

Space Stone!

Time Stone!

Mind Stone!

Soul Stone!

The four Infinity Stones were forcefully shaken out by Bai Ye's fists and floated in space.

Ultron's body instantly dimmed, and the light in its electronic eyes gradually extinguished.

"W-why..."

"I have to say, you are very strong. With the boost of six Infinity Stones, you are a leader even within a single Universe."

"But even without the Infinity Stones, I possess single-Universe strength, let alone when I also have the Infinity Stones boosting me."

"If you must blame something, blame your bad luck for meeting me."

Bai Ye clenched his hand, and the purple light of the Power Stone burst forth.

Ultron's remnant body was crushed into elementary particles under the terrifying gravity of the Neutron Star, completely annihilated.

At this moment, Wanda and Susan rushed to the battlefield using the power of the Space Stone.

The moment they arrived, they saw Bai Ye holding all six Infinity Stones in one hand, slowly turning around.

"It's over?" Susan blinked, asking.

Wanda looked at the Neutron Star that was still expanding and exploding: "Did we come here for nothing?"

Bai Ye looked at the Infinity Stones before him, shook his head, and said: "No, we got the spoils of war."

Wanda and Susan looked at the six Infinity Stones in front of Bai Ye.

The Time Stone was embedded onto the infinity gauntlet under Bai Ye's control.

The moment the six Infinity Stones were gathered, six dazzling beams of light circulated in the metal grooves of the gauntlet.

Instantly, immense energy surged into Bai Ye's body.

Energy flowed in Bai Ye's pupils, and energy veins appeared on the surface of his skin.

Those were the traces of the infinite rules materializing within his body.

"dear, how do you feel?" Wanda asked Bai Ye with some concern.

Susan also stared at him, asking: "Can you withstand the energy of six Infinity Stones?"

Bai Ye slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body, and said emotionally: "Of course, better than ever before."

Chapter 196 The Watcher and Doctor Strange

Just as Bai Ye was sensing the six Infinity Stones... Buzz!!!

A brilliant golden Portal unfolded in the void!

Wanda and Susan instantly entered combat mode, with Chaos Magic and the energy of the Space Stone erupting simultaneously!

"Wait."

Bai Ye raised his hand to stop Wanda and Susan, his gaze fixed on the two figures emerging from the Portal.

The person who walked out first was huge, with silver-white skin, draped in blue robes.

The other was a middle-aged man wearing black robes, with a stern face and graying temples, surrounded by a dense aura of Dark Magic.

As soon as the two stepped out of the Portal, they saw Bai Ye and the two women suspended in space.

As well as the infinity gauntlet embedded with six Infinity Stones on Bai Ye's right hand.

The Watcher's pupils contracted sharply, and Strange also summoned the magic circle in his hand.

"You guys are late." Bai Ye smiled, his tone relaxed.

"The fight is already over, and you only arrive now?"

The Watcher and Strange exchanged glances, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

"You... know us?"

Strange's voice held a trace of disbelief.

Bai Ye shrugged and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, Uatu The Watcher, and Stephen Strange, who fell into Dark Magic to save Christine Palmer."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye paused and added meaningfully:

"But... the cost was the destruction of the entire Universe, right?"

Strange's expression instantly changed, and he questioned: "How do you know that?!"

"I know more than you think."

Bai Ye didn't explain to Strange, turning his head to look at The Watcher beside him.

"So, why did Ultron run to our Universe?"

Facing Bai Ye's question, The Watcher remained silent for a moment before finally explaining:

"He took advantage of Strange's carelessness, using the Space Stone to break through our blockade and escape to this Universe."

The Watcher paused, then scanned the surroundings, continuing:

"But now it seems he has been dealt with by you?"

"Yes, he's dead."

Bai Ye waved his hand, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Not even dust is left."

Strange took a deep breath: "Six Infinity Stones, do you know what kind of power that signifies?"

"It means I can punch your dog head off?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, teasing.

Strange: "..."

The Watcher beside him asked in a deep voice: "Now that you possess the power of the Infinity Stones, what do you plan to do?"

"Nothing." Bai Ye put away his smile, his voice calm.

"I have no interest in destroying the Universe, nor do I have a penchant for becoming its ruler." Bai Yeshook the infinity gauntlet on his wrist.

"These Infinity Stones are just tools to me."

The Watcher stared intently at him, seemingly judging the truthfulness of the statement.

Finally, The Watcher slowly nodded: "I hope so."

Strange was still uneasy: "The power of the Infinity Stones corrupts the user. Are you sure you can control it?"

Bai Ye did not answer, he merely raised his hand, and the light of the six Infinity Stones suddenly retracted.

All energy fluctuations instantly vanished, as if they were just ordinary decorations.

"Hm? How about now?"

Faced with Bai Ye's retort, Strange was momentarily speechless.

The Watcher looked deeply at Bai Ye: "Your existence exceeds my understanding."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Bai Ye smiled, then looked at Strange with interest.

"Strange, do you want to go meet the Sorcerer Ancient One of this Universe?"

Strange was stunned, not quite reacting.

"What did you say?"

"Since your Universe is already destroyed, why not stay here?" Bai Ye shrugged.

"For the Ancient One, who has long wanted to retire, she certainly won't refuse another Sorcerer Supreme to take her place."

Seeking fresh flowers

Strange fell silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Uatu The Watcher's gaze shifted between the two, finally saying slowly: "The choice is yours, Strange."

After a moment of silence, Dark Doctor Strange took a deep breath, looked up at Bai Ye, and said: "Good."

The Watcher nodded, his figure gradually blurring: "The matter is resolved, I will no longer interfere."

Soon, his figure dissipated like starlight, returning to his dark little room—Watcher Space.

Bai Ye raised his hand, and a golden Portal unfolded in the void. The other end was Kamar-Taj... the Kamar-Taj on Earth right now.

The Sorcerer Ancient One was sitting in the courtyard, holding a cup of clear tea, the rising steam curling up in the morning light.

Suddenly, the Ancient One seemed to sense something and looked up.

A Portal slowly unfolded. Bai Ye's figure walked out first, followed by Wanda and Susan.

And a Stephen Strange wearing black robes and possessing a stern face.

The Ancient One's pupils constricted slightly, her gaze lingering on Dark Doctor Strange for a moment.

She then looked at the gauntlet embedded with six Infinity Stones on Bai Ye's right wrist.

The Ancient One held the teacup suspended in mid-air, then slowly stood up.

"Bai."

Her voice was still calm, but carried a hint of rare surprise.

"Are you... delivering a Sorcerer Supreme to me?"

Bai Ye smiled: "That's right. Didn't you always want a Sorcerer Supreme? Do you want this one?"

The Ancient One's gaze fell back on Strange. She could clearly sense the dark energy surging within his body.

It was a power far deeper than black magic, a corruption stemming from despair and obsession.

"Child, tell me, what happened to you?"

The Ancient One asked softly, with an invisible concern in her tone.

Chapter 197 The Skill the Laziest Person Wants Most

Facing the Ancient One's inquiry, Strange's lips moved, but he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Bai Ye spoke directly on Strange's behalf:

"To save the person he loved, he absorbed the power of the Dark Dimension and forcibly modified the Absolute Point in Time, leading to the destruction of the entire Universe."

"Precisely because his Universe is gone, I brought him here."

The Ancient One was silent for a long time, finally sighing: "Obsession is a deep abyss, ultimately hard to cross."

Strange gave a bitter smile: "I once thought I could control the cost."

Chapter 139

"Every mage once thought so," Ancient One shook his head, though his gaze was not reproachful.

"Including me."

The courtyard fell silent for a moment, only the rustle of leaves in the wind could be heard.

A moment later, Ancient One looked at Bai Ye and asked, "'One Five Seven'—you have six Infinity Stones; how do you intend to handle them?"

"For now, I'll just keep them," Bai Ye flicked his wrist.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in destroying the World."

Ancient One gave Bai Ye a glance and nodded in trust.

She then turned back to Strange, her tone softened: "Since your Universe no longer exists, Kamar-Tajcan become your refuge."

Strange looked up, a flash of disbelief in his eyes: "You'd accept me? Even though I..."

"Even if you fell into darkness?" Ancient One smiled faintly.

"Darkness is not the end, Strange. What matters is whether you can find your own path again."

Having said that, Ancient One raised her hand, and a golden magical array shimmered in her palm.

"You have not yet become a mage in this World; perhaps you can teach him yourself to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

Strange was stunned, then let out a low laugh: "That is indeed an ironic cycle."

Bai Ye clapped his hands: "Alright, I've delivered the person. The rest you can discuss yourselves; I won't interfere."

Bai Ye turned to leave, but Ancient One suddenly called after him:

"Bai Ye."

"Hmm?"

Ancient One's gaze fell on the six stones on Bai Ye's wrist and she warned seriously:

"The power of the Infinity Stones is ultimately a balance of the Universe; use them with caution."

Bai Ye smiled, gave no answer, and simply waved his hand.

A golden Portal opened again; he, Wanda, and Susan stepped through and vanished.

In Kamar-Taj's courtyard, only Ancient One and Dark Doctor Strange remained.

The wind stirred fallen leaves as Strange slowly looked up, gazing at the mentor of this Universe.

"So, where should we start now?"

Ancient One smiled and said plainly, "Let's begin with a cup of tea."

...New York, Bai Ye's Villa

A Portal opened at the Villa's entrance; Bai Ye, Wanda, and Susan walked out of it.

The sunset's afterglow bathed the courtyard, and in the distance, Origin‑1 and Origin‑2 stood silently.

"Finally back."

Wanda stretched lazily, the Scarlet Power that had always cloaked her gradually receding.

"This inter‑universal trip was truly exhilarating."

Susan nodded emphatically: "It was even more thrilling than my past run‑ins with the mob."

Hearing Susan, Bai Ye couldn't help but smile and pushed open the Villa's main door.

The three entered the living room, and the soft sofa instantly enveloped their weary bodies.

"Home is still the most comfortable."

Wanda sank into the sofa, lazily squinting her eyes.

Bai Ye also lay on the sofa, lazily snapping his fingers.

Swoosh!

Shadows on the floor began to writhe; several shadow‑clad ninja soldiers with crimson eyes rose silently from the ground, kneeling respectfully on one knee.

"Go get some drinks, and bring a bottle of red wine," Bai Ye ordered casually.

The Shadow Ninjas bowed their heads, instantly turning into black silhouettes that slipped toward the kitchen.

Wanda and Susan looked on curiously at the same time: "What is this again?!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Bai Ye said, leaning back on the sofa, his tone relaxed.

"These are the spoils from the last trip to another World—the Shadow Corps."

Susan raised an eyebrow, instantly recalling something: "That magic World from before?"

Wanda became interested as well, leaning in: "By the way, you haven't told us about your experience in that magic World last time. Tell us the details!"

Bai Ye took the red wine the Shadow Ninja handed him, poured himself a glass, and began slowly recounting... "It was a World full of magic and talismans..."

He then briefly described his adventures reminiscent of "Jackie Chan Adventures."

And how he collected twelve talismans to battle the eight demon sorcerers, commanded the Shadow Corps, and even fused the power of the eight demons.

"When confronting Ultron this time, I borrowed the repelling property of the horse talisman and the soul‑invading mechanism of the goat talisman."

"Using the Power of Ten Billion Gods, I created a singular game that combined those two mechanisms to affect Ultron."

Bai Ye shook his cup and explained to the two.

"Otherwise, the six stones aren't so easy to pry from Ultron's body."

Wanda blinked: "So, exactly how many kinds of power do you now possess?"

"Too many to count. As long as I wish, these powers can become countless games, surpassing their original limits for my use," Bai Ye chuckled lightly.

Thus, the previously mentioned operation also relied on the Power of Ten Billion Gods to raise the limits of the horse and goat talisman mechanisms.

Otherwise, relying solely on their original strength, even at their peak, they are nothing before the six stones.

Susan suddenly pointed at the Shadow Ninja and asked, "What else can these guys do? Besides serving tea?"

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow: "Want to see?"

Both women nodded eagerly, curiosity shining on their faces.

Bai Ye snapped his fingers, and more Shadow Ninjas surged from the darkness, quickly filling half the living room.

Some wielded blades, some bore bows, and a few even carried a massive shadow piano, though no one knew why they were moving it.

Wanda couldn't help laughing, "They can actually play the piano?"

Bai Ye shrugged and retorted, "Theoretically yes, but I wouldn't recommend trying—it sounds terrible, far less practical than doing chores or cooking."

Susan curiously poked one of the Shadow Ninjas, which remained motionless like a statue.

"What a handy ability for lazy people!" she commented after hearing Bai Ye's description.

The three clinked glasses, the red wine shimmering amber in the light.

Chapter 198: infinity gauntlet Upgraded to Infinity Armor

The next day, in Bai Ye's underground laboratory.

Bai Ye stood before the holographic projection table, his gaze fixed on the floating infinity gauntlet.

He furrowed his brow slightly, his fingers lightly tapping the metal tabletop.

"What's the matter?"

Wanda leaned against the doorway, still holding half a glass of red wine.

"Got another crazy tech idea?"

Susan walked in as well, eyes curious as she looked at the projection table, teasing:

"You aren't planning to embed all six stones on your forehead, are you?"

Bai Ye glanced at her, replying irritably, "That joke isn't funny at all; I'm not that insane."

He snapped his fingers, and the mechanical voice of the AI Dream rang out: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Retrieve the schematics of the infinity gauntlet and redesign a full armor system," Bai Ye instructed Dream.

"This gauntlet's functions are too limited. Ultron gave me a new direction, so I want to create armor."

(Power comes from the knight; how can there be no armor? The gauntlet must be upgraded!)

Wanda and Susan exchanged a glance and moved closer together.

The holographic projection expanded to twelve; the 3D model of the infinity gauntlet was broken down into countless components.

Energy circuits, gem‑mounting structures, conduits, and more—every detail laid bare.

"My idea is..."

Bai Ye swiped his finger, and the projection switched to three armor design sketches.

One for himself, and one each for Wanda and Susan.

"Embed the Infinity Stones into the armor instead of wearing a separate gauntlet."

The new armor designs felt ultra‑futuristic, with sleek overall lines.

The armor surface used nano‑scale Vibranium‑composite material, with gem‑mounting slots reserved at key points.

When the gems are set, the armor automatically seals, leaving only a transparent energy shield.

This ensures gem energy conduction while preventing targeted enemy sabotage.

Wanda's eyes lit up as she declared, "This design is great!"

Susan tapped the arm portion of her own armor in the projection and asked:

"By the way, if I wear this armor, will it affect my abilities? I don't want a suit that limits me."

"It won't affect your powers at all," Bai Ye replied to Susan.

"Not only will it not hinder you, it will actually make you stronger."

"The armor's artificial stellar core power system will sync with the Infinity Stones; their energy can vastly boost absorption efficiency, making you more powerful."

Bai Ye lightly tapped his finger, and the projection switched to an energy simulation diagram.

When the Space Stone activates, Susan's armor will channel the energy into her Force Field ability, causing exponential growth.

When the Mind Stone activates, Wanda's Chaos Magic will gain rule‑penetration properties, even enhancing reality‑rewriting capabilities.

Bai Ye's own armor is fully compatible with all six stones, forming an infinite loop energy network.

"Dream, begin fabrication," Bai Ye ordered after the preparations.

"Command confirmed, retrieving materials from the repository..."

The lab's robotic arms whirred to life, and the nano‑furnace glowed blue.

During his interstellar travels, Bai Ye had purchased a cache of advanced materials from alien black markets.

Kree Empire Super‑Dense Alloy, Xandar‑star quantum fiber, Land of Nihility antimatter coating—all poured into production.

Vibranium and Adamantium served as the base, fused with nanotech and various materials, supplemented by an artificial Sun core.

Soon, three sets of the mysterious "踆弍尹叁五柳鏾兒" armor began taking shape on the assembly platform at a visible speed.

Hours later... "Finished."

Bai Ye looked at the three floating armors on the platform and nodded in satisfaction.

Bai Ye's armor was pitch black, its surface coursing with dark‑purple energy veins.

Six gem slots were distributed across the chest plate, giving it the appearance of a demonic abyssal suit.

Susan's armor featured a black‑gold hue, sharp lines, with reinforced arms and gauntlets for easy energy release.
