Just as Kytheron took out a cell from Ancient Doomsday, Venom, as the current Master of Living Abyss, immediately felt a chilling sensation.
However, Venom couldn't perceive things as minutely as Kytheron; it only felt as if Kytheron was holding a super biological bomb in his right hand.
"My Master, is this what you want me to clone?"
Venom was not foolish; from Kytheron's insistence on coming along personally, it knew that the creature to be cloned this time was no ordinary foe.
"Come back to me. I will temporarily hand over control of my body to you, and then you will operate it."
Hearing this, Venom excitedly shot up Kytheron's body, then quickly transformed into battle armor, covering Kytheron's physique.
Ever since Kytheron had last granted him control over his body, Venom had become completely infatuated with that feeling.
If not for Kytheron needing him to work in the Living Abyss, Venom would have been eager to possess Kytheron's body at all times.
However, the moment Venom, with an excited heart, took over control of Kytheron's body, the impact of that immense power almost caused Venom to lose consciousness.
"Is this the power My Master wields?"
Venom knew that Kytheron had become very strong after his last seclusion, but it had no idea just how strong.
And now he could feel this power; even in this Universe, if he wished, he could destroy it with just one finger.
At this thought, Venom trembled all over: "It's terrifying!"
"Venom, what are you spacing out for? Start now!"
At this, Kytheron began to urge him!
"Master, I'll start right away."
At this moment, using Kytheron's body, Venom finally saw what was in his right hand.
"What a terrifying biological cell, but why does it feel so familiar, almost similar to Master's genetic template?"
Doomsday, after all, mutated and evolved from Kryptonian genes, so its most primitive and core genetic chain was still Kryptonian.
This was also why Lex Luthor could use General Zod's corpse to create an inferior version of Doomsday.
Therefore, Venom acutely sensed that the cell in his hand had some connection to the genetic template Kytheron had given him.
However, now was not the time for him to ponder these things; Kytheron's urgent instructions were paramount.
Venom reached out, and a large surge of black viscous liquid immediately welled up from the Living Abyss below, which then slowly contracted and condensed under Venom's manipulation.
Venom carefully placed that single Doomsday cell into it.
Instantly, as if cold water met hot oil, an endless stream of black substance began to be absorbed and assimilated by that single cell.
Then that single cell began to rapidly divide and proliferate.
At this point, Venom seized the opportunity and instantly created a womb-like environment, encompassing all the Doomsday cells within it.
Doomsday had undergone countless mutations and had long lost any hereditary traits; one could say that Doomsday was an entirely new species that mutated from the Kryptonian genetic base.
Under a continuous supply of energy, the Doomsday cells began to rapidly develop into a primitive embryo.
But gradually, Venom discovered that the energy drawn from the Living Abyss was no longer sufficient for its continued growth.
"Venom, the rest is up to me!"
Kytheron had naturally been observing Venom's actions; now that the most crucial step was complete, all that remained was to continuously supply energy to this embryo to mature it!
Energy, Kytheron, of course, knew what the best energy was to supply for Doomsday's growth.
The moment Kytheron regained control of his body, he directly opened the Universe he had created with the Infinity Stones.
Instantly, an endless stream of energy surged from it towards Kytheron, and Kytheron used his body as a channel for energy transmission.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
With this massive surge of energy as a foundation, the Doomsday embryo's growth rate immediately accelerated.
In the silent Living Abyss, Doomsday's tiny heartbeat sounded like a pounding war drum.
While Kytheron's Doomsday cloning process was proceeding smoothly, Jean on Earth began to act abnormally!
Because ever since returning to Earth from Apokolips, Jean had started having a recurring dream every night.
In her dream, she gradually witnessed the entire process of the Phoenix Force's birth from the primordial Universe.
She saw the Phoenix Force, initially just a nameless entity with sentience, drifting and traveling through the Multiverse.
Jean at this moment felt as if she were watching a movie, following the Phoenix Force, before it became the Phoenix, across countless Universes.
Until one day, it heard the call of Pheros, an ancient magic user from Earth.
Pheros was a man who immensely revered the legend of the Phoenix, and it was precisely because of his powerful psychic energy that the Phoenix Force, drifting through the Universe, descended upon Earth, ultimately condensing its avatar based on the image of the Phoenix in his mind.
One could say that the Phoenix Force acquired its current name and form because of him.
However, later, a fellow named Necrom attempted to forcibly seize the Phoenix Force, forcing Pheros to use the Phoenix's power to defeat him, making Pheros the first host of the Phoenix Force.
However, even so, Necrom still used some special means to steal a fragment of the Phoenix Force's core, which caused the Phoenix, in fear, to leave Pheros's body and return to space.
Jean, from an observer's perspective, watched everything the Phoenix Force had experienced since its birth.
Initially, she didn't pay too much attention, thinking it was a normal phenomenon as she merged more deeply with the Phoenix, and she secretly rejoiced.
Because this might mean that the day she would completely control the Phoenix Force was not far off!
However, the subsequent dreams made her terrified.
Because in her dream, she saw countless Phoenix hosts, just like her, fighting madly, and many of those faces were her own.
Chaos, unprecedented chaos, every Phoenix Force constantly collided, and the entire Universe became fragmented under this power.
In her dream, she desperately tried to find her teacher to stop this great war.
However, she found a monstrous, octopus-like, incredibly twisted creature emerging from the fractured space, and her teacher was battling it, completely unable to divert his attention to stop the war.
Even in the end, her invincible teacher actually failed and was devoured by that monster.
Ultimately, she agreed to the method proposed by the Phoenix within her, killed all the other Phoenix hosts, and gained the complete Phoenix Force; she used this power to defeat that terrifying Loki.
But the entire Multiverse also met its ultimate destruction, and she finally woke up after this nightmare ended.
The fear in her heart made her go directly to Apokolips without any hesitation, wanting to tell Kytheron about the series of dreams she had recently experienced.
However, Kytheron was currently busy cloning Doomsday, so she didn't find him; instead, she saw Wu Fengji, the Phoenix host she had ultimately killed.
