[Ding! Detected that the host is merging with the heart of the universe (Incomplete Version)!]
[Fear Points system upgrading...]
[Congratulations to the host! Unlock progress is skyrocketing!]
[Only one step away from Diamond Form!]
Frieza felt the energy within his body undergoing a qualitative change.
It wasn't just an increase in combat power. It was a sublimation of his very level of existence.
He felt as if he had touched the "ceiling" of this Omniverse.
"Just a little bit more..."
Frieza clenched his fist, looking at the mass of light that he had already half-absorbed.
"As long as I completely digest this power, no matter The Living Tribunal, or The Beyonder..."
"They will all have to kneel at my feet."
"But before that..."
Frieza turned around and looked outside the temple.
There, it seemed some uninvited guests were arriving.
It was the aura of The Living Tribunal.
And those... so-called Beyonders?
"Oh my, did you come because you caught the scent?" Frieza gave a bloodthirsty smile.
"Just as well."
"I've just equipped myself with new gear, and I was worried I'd have no one to practice on."
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."
"For my coronation ceremony, be the sacrifices."
...
The dimension beyond reality was no longer a silent void.
As Frieza began to devour the heart of the universe, this space seemed to have become the center of a massive vortex.
Multicolored energy storms raged, and the chains of rules were snapping.
At the heart of that storm.
Frieza was bathed in a radiance of interwoven black-gold and milky-white, like a demon god in the making.
Suddenly—
Rumble!
The void above the Temple split open into a massive rift without warning.
A beam of golden holy light poured down from it.
Accompanying this holy light, a grand, majestic, and emotionless voice resounded throughout the dimension.
"Stop! Heretic!"
A colossal golden giant with three faces slowly descended from the rift.
The Living Tribunal!
The supreme judge of the Marvel Omniverse! An existence second only to OAA!
And behind him followed several beings of various forms, but with auras equally terrifying to the extreme.
Molecule Man, Owen.
And the one wearing a white jumpsuit.
Seemingly comical yet possessing the power to rewrite everything—The Beyonder.
This was a true all-star lineup!
The absolute top of combat power in this Omniverse!
They had come to stop the demon who was stealing the foundation of the Universe.
"Frieza."
The face of The Living Tribunal representing "Equity" opened its eyes.
Its gaze was like a torch, piercing straight into Frieza's soul.
"You have overstepped."
"The heart of the universe is not something a mortal can touch."
"Stop your devouring immediately and accept the Tribunal's judgment!"
"Otherwise, we will exercise the authority of the Omniverse to completely erase you!"
These words carried the power of rules where words become law. It even caused the energy storm around Frieza to stagnate for a moment.
However...
"Erase?"
Frieza, who was absorbing the energy, slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, the light of the entire dimension dimmed, leaving only those crimson eyes, emitting a heart-palpitating blood-light.
"Oh-ho-ho..."
Frieza laughed.
He didn't stop absorbing. Instead, he increased his speed. The mass of light from the heart of the universe was shrinking at a visible rate, merging into his body.
"The Living Tribunal?"
"You mean that golden lump with three heads who only knows how to talk big?" Frieza curled his lip in disdain.
"Last time in the Main Universe, I gave you face and didn't go dismantle your home."
"And yet, not only are you not grateful, you even dare to bring people to block my door?"
"Do you really think that with a few more helpers, you can challenge me?"
Frieza's gaze swept over the bewildered Molecule Man and that seemingly careless Beyonder.
"Tsk tsk..."
"These are your reinforcements?"
"A neurotic playing with blocks and a pervert in a jumpsuit?"
"The aesthetics of your Omniverse really leave much to be desired."
"Arrogant!"
The Beyonder was the first to lose his patience.
Although he usually looks like a curious baby, he is a supreme being from the Beyond-Realm. In this Universe, he can do whatever he wants.
Who would dare speak to him like that?
"You white-skinned monkey!" The Beyonder waved his hand.
"Disappear!"
Buzz!
Reality rewriting!
The area where Frieza was located instantly turned into a void. It wasn't blown up, it was directly set to "non-existent."
"Hmph, pathetic." The Beyonder clapped his hands.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face.
"Oh my, is this the power of The Beyonder?"
That annoying voice sounded from the void once again.
The erased space actually grew back as if it were alive.
Frieza stood there unscathed, holding a glass of red wine that he had conjured up at some unknown moment.
"Interesting, like some kind of high-level magic trick." Frieza took a sip of wine, an appreciative look on his face.
"However..."
"In the face of this heart of the universe, isn't your reality rewriting a bit too childish?"
Boom!
The black aura within Frieza's body instantly erupted. That was a brand-new power merged with the energy of the heart of the universe.
"Kneel before me."
Frieza pointed a finger.
The Beyonder felt an irresistible will descend upon him. His originally omnipotent power actually failed at this moment.
Thud!
This insufferably arrogant Beyonder's knees actually gave way.
He knelt in the void!
"What?!"
This scene stunned both The Living Tribunal and Molecule Man.
Even The Beyonder was suppressed?
This meant that guy's degree of fusion with the heart of the universe had already exceeded their expectations.
"Attack together!"
The Living Tribunal no longer hesitated.
All three faces opened their eyes simultaneously.
Omnipotent Judgment!
Rumble!
A bolt of golden lightning, gathering the power of the rules of the entire Omniverse, fell from the sky.
Molecule Man also pressed his hands together.
Molecular Deconstruction!
All matter in this area, including space itself, began to decompose frantically.
This was a true killing blow!
Even in his Black Form, Frieza felt a hint of pressure facing a siege of this level.
"Tsk..."
Frieza threw away the wine glass.
"This is a bit annoying."
He looked at the falling lightning of judgment and his own disintegrating body. Instead of being afraid, he revealed a sinister smile.
"Since you want to risk your lives, I shall play along with you."
