Chapter 347 - The Fourth Wall

The Void was Kang's strongest means of isolating external invaders.

Without Alioth, the sacred timeline could be spied upon and invaded by external Kangs at any time.

Although he was the victor of the Multiverse War, without Alioth, he couldn't possibly remain aloof.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have gone to him. The Time Anchor isn't clear, and the only firewall has been destroyed."

"Next, we're in trouble."

Kang fell into remorse and regret but Aaron didn't care.

After devouring the Void, Aaron's gains weren't significant.

In terms of strength, the improvement was almost zero.

This was because after devouring the six Infinity Stones, his incomplete omnipotent power had already reached its current limit, which was Multiverse-level.

The "garbage" in the Void consisted of the various time branches of the sacred timeline. Though numerous, their quality wasn't high.

The biggest gain was that the Primordial Furnace recorded all the complete data of the sacred timeline.

Aaron deliberately and freely evolved everything of the sacred timeline within his own cellular Universe.

He also mastered all the technology of the sacred timeline.

One could also say it was wisdom.

[Super Wisdom: Similar abilities detected and merged. You have gained the wisdom of all creatures on the sacred timeline. Your wisdom and mind have further improved, achieving Cosmic-level wisdom.]

Wisdom includes knowledge.

Aaron also possessed the knowledge base of Galactus, the knowledge reserves of certain high-tech Universes, as well as the wisdom of the God of Wisdom, Rune knowledge, and knowledge of Dimensional Rulers.

Adding to that all the knowledge of a sacred timeline in the Void, his current wisdom had reached a true Cosmic level.

It could be said that wisdom was an important piece of the omniscience puzzle, and one of the important abilities Aaron needed to strengthen.

"I need to find an opportunity to acquire Uatu's abilities."

Feeling the immense changes in his mind, Aaron pondered.

The Watchers were actually one of the civilizations that ascended through technology. They were one of the oldest civilizations in the Universe, possessing extremely advanced technology.

In terms of technological level, they were more advanced and comprehensive than the technology of Asgard or the Kree Empire.

They abandoned their physical body through technological means, transformed into energy bodies, and became a group of Cosmic Gods.

They could even contend with the Celestials.

In terms of knowledge reserves and wisdom level, they were definitely above Cosmic level.

Previously, Aaron was worried that Uatu would see through him, so he didn't alert them. But now that his strength had increased again, he might be able to acquire Uatu's abilities and strengthen his own wisdom without the other party noticing.

"However... the wisdom of The Watchers alone is far from enough."

"It seems that in some Universes, there's also a Wisdom Stone? It seems... it's in Tony's head?"

Aaron recalled a scene he had seen before his transmigration.

In one Universe, Reed performed brain surgery on Tony and forcibly took the Wisdom Stone from his head.

However, in the currently known Universes, Aaron hadn't found anything different about Tony's brain.

"I'll have a chance to get it."

"And it's not just the wisdom of the Marvel Universe. I need to devour more Universes, and even transcend the Marvel infinite Multiverse, to achieve true omnipotence and omniscience."

Aaron, possessing the Primordial Furnace, was destined not to be bound by the Marvel Universe.

Even if he devoured everything within the Marvel Universe, at most he would be on par with OAA, or even slightly inferior.

After all, OAA transcends the Omniverse, and can recreate the infinite Multiverse with a single thought. His status was bound to be above the Marvel Universe.

In the end, if Aaron wanted to contend with OAA or even surpass him, he would definitely need to acquire more knowledge and data.

Therefore, the journey to devouring other Universes had to be put on the agenda.

Previously, Aaron didn't have to consider it, mainly because his level wasn't high enough.

But now, his status was at the peak of the Multiverse, enough to fight a Super-Cosmic level being.

Such strength would inevitably fall into the sights of those omnipotent beings.

Aaron had to start considering an unfavorable situation: he could collide with omnipotent beings at any time.

Introducing power from outside the world was imperative.

"What I need to do most now is accumulate countless knowledge and data, and I will be able to transcend everything."

Aaron pondered as he stepped out of the Void and arrived in the Domain outside the sacred timeline.

He was about to open the door to his native Universe but at this moment, a subtle temporal force exploded beside him with a boom.

Aaron reacted.

This was a Time Bomb!

Someone attacked me?

Aaron immediately thought of Kang.

He had just played a trick on the other party, and also taken Alioth and the Void.

Kang had every reason to target him.

However, Aaron immediately dismissed this possibility.

Kang wouldn't be that foolish.

Using time against him? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

He was not affected by time, this was the value of the Time Anchor.

Aaron found this attack a bit strange.

He raised an eyebrow slightly. He noticed that the surrounding void began to distort, and even his body began to flicker between light and dark.

Such a familiar power...

This is—

The power of the fourth wall!

After Aaron reacted, he did not resist. He allowed this power to take him to a world.

In a corner of that Universe, three Kangs stood together. When they saw Aaron disappear, they heavily punched the air.

"Haha, it hit! He was indeed as arrogant as planned, daring to resist our attack head-on."

"Heh, is this the Time Anchor? It's nothing special, it ultimately can't escape the power of space."

"Hmph, our biggest threat has disappeared. Aaron has been sent to a special Universe without superpowers, and Alioth, who was blocking us, has also gone missing. Now it's our era."

"Go say hello to my other self."

The three Kangs burst into laughter.

They had long detected Aaron's existence and regarded him as their greatest threat.

Aaron was an anomaly. Even if he hadn't revealed his ambition, his existence was the greatest threat to the Kang Dynasty.

Aaron's abilities completely countered their time technology.

To find Aaron's weakness, they sent many Kangs and armies to Aaron's timeline. But without exception, the River of Time drowned countless scrapped time-space warships and broken corpses.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break Aaron's time blockade.

For this, they spent countless efforts and finally came up with a solution.

They traveled to the center of the Universe and met Eternity, obtaining a way to defeat Aaron.

That was to send him to a Universe where superpowers did not exist, completely exiling him.

Without superpowers, he couldn't use any power.

Aaron was destined not to return, and thus would no longer threaten them.

They then found a way to obtain a world coordinate from a certain annoying fellow.

And through Eternity, they modified a Time-Space Cannon. It only had one shot, but it could send Aaron to that special world.

They didn't know where that world was, nor did they know the principle of this shot.

They didn't care because they would never go to that barren world without future technology or supernatural abilities.

"Aaron has been exiled, and his world should be destroyed."

"Send people to clear everything related to him, leaving no hidden dangers."

The Kang in the middle sneered and gave the order.

They were about to win the final victory of the war.

However, when they sent people to Aaron's Universe, they received an unfavorable result.

"What? Aaron's world still can't be traversed through time? Is he not the Time Anchor?"

Meanwhile, in another special Universe.

Aaron walked leisurely on the streets of New York.

This is a world without superpowers.

The timeline is set in the early 21st century.

Aaron saw DC Comics, and he also saw Marvel Comics. Everything in the Marvel Universe exists within the comics.

After arriving in this Universe, Aaron understood the intentions of the mastermind.

They used the power of breaking the fourth wall to exile him outside the world, and seal all his power.

But unfortunately for them, his status surpassed this fake fourth wall. Therefore, his anchor point to the Universe he transmigrated to still existed.

At this moment, Aaron saw an unexpected person.

A girl wearing a pink hooded sweatshirt paired with a blue school skirt.

Just as she was about to pass Aaron, Aaron called out to her, "Are you Gwenpool? Gwen Stacy?"

"Gwen Stacy? Gwenpool? Haha, you must have the wrong person. My name is Alison Blaire."

The girl with sapphire blue eyes and blonde hair who was called out stiffened, an awkward smile plastered on her face.

Gwen scanned left and right, as if looking for an easy way to escape.

Seeing this, Aaron became even more certain of her identity. "Oh, then should I call you Dazzler?"

Gwen looked slightly surprised and asked, "Huh, you read Marvel Comics too?"

"Well... I just happen to have the same name as Dazzler. It's no big deal."

"You must have mistaken me for someone else, right?"

Gwen subtly moved her feet backward.

"Are you afraid of me? You shouldn't know me."

Aaron probed Gwen's memories and discovered that she had already transmigrated to other Marvel Universes.

And under the codename Gwen Stacy, she had engaged in some exciting activities.

For example, becoming a mercenary for MODOK.

Gwen said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I don't know you at all, but you are really handsome, much handsomer than the characters in the comics."

"If you need to find Gwenpool, maybe I can help you?"

Gwen's eyes darted around. Although Aaron was indeed handsome, fear and terror now dominated.

As one of the masses in reality, she had accidentally gained the ability to transmigrate into Marvel Comics at 19 and engaged in a thrilling, real-life gaming experience inside.

However, after she returned to reality, she had never told anyone the name Gwen Stacy.

How did this person know?

Could he also be from the Marvel Comics World?

Oh no, the comic character came true!

Seeing Gwen's guilty expression, Aaron smiled lightly.

His figure flashed, and he appeared behind Gwen.

"Gwenpool, you got one thing wrong. It's not that the comic character came true. Maybe you are the character in the comic, and I am the true visitor from reality?"

Gwen felt the warm body pressed closely behind her, stiffening all over and daring not to move.

When she heard Aaron's words, she trembled even more.

I'm the NPC?

Where she couldn't see, the corners of Aaron's lips curved into a meaningful arc.

"Did you know that in my Universe, both you and Marvel exist in comics, and the X-Men were even made into an arcade game?"

"I really enjoy reading comics, the female characters in them are amazing."

"I've even read the main comics related to you and know everything about you."

"For example... your height is 170.2 centimeters, your weight is 59.1 kilograms, you live in the XXX area of the New York Brooklyn District, and your favorite thing is..."

"Stop, that's enough!"

The more Gwen listened, the more terrified and scared she became.

She said in disbelief, "No, impossible. You must have some kind of psychic ability and peeked into my mind."

"Wait, you must be a hacker! You're tricking me!"

Seeing Gwen's reaction, Aaron's playful mood surged.

"I can prove it."

Aaron came in front of her and motioned for her to look up. "You know, a person who comes from the true reality should possess certain special abilities."

"For example, I designed a Plot Armor for myself. I can seek death casually, yet I will never die no matter what."

Under Gwen's terrified gaze, Aaron casually walked onto the busy street filled with traffic. He walked around aimlessly with his eyes closed, yet he mysteriously avoided every car.

No, it was as if the cars had eyes and were avoiding Aaron.

"As a real person, I can also see dialogue boxes and text in comics, and arbitrarily change what others want to say."

Aaron tapped the air with his right hand.

The drivers who had been forced to detour around Aaron immediately changed from cursing loudly to saying something else entirely.

"Oh, you are so handsome! I love you!"

"Your dancing is so cool! I want to watch your stage performance!"

"Oh my God, I see a deity!"

Gwen stared blankly at the drivers who bypassed Aaron, speaking strange and sickeningly sweet words with ferocious expressions.

She really didn't want to admit it, but the scene before her was exactly the same as her own ability in the comics.

"You know, I can also move objects in the comic, making them move freely across time and space."

Aaron casually swiped his hand, and a car that had driven onto another street sped back in front of Gwen.

Gwen recognized it, it was the school bus that had driven past a few minutes ago.

Gwen's worldview was severely impacted.

She fell into a state of shock, muttering, "Impossible, this is impossible."

"My world is also a comic? Am I an NPC?"

"It seems you still don't know that the Universe you are in is Earth-TRN565." Aaron said with a serious face.

Gwen looked up, tears welling in her eyes. "So... what do you want to do in our Universe? Be an omnipotent player? Wantonly toy with NPCs like me?"
