Seeing this, the smile on Ryan's face instantly froze.
"Look at you, getting impatient again!"
Ryan smiled helplessly.
The next moment, thousands of Gods swarmed toward Ryan simultaneously!
No matter how well you can perceive the tactics of our Celestials, you will never be able to deal with the simplest tactic!
That is... human wave tactics!
No one knew what actually happened in the Universe that day, but ever since that day, all physical matter originally in that galaxy ceased to exist.
Not to mention Planets and life forms, the space in that galaxy was even filled with unstable spatial cracks and spatial storms, becoming a truly dead galaxy!
But some also said that there were an exaggerated number of God skulls in this galaxy, which were the same God skulls as the one called 'Land of Nihility' used as the base camp by The Collector.
You must know that the mining of a single God skull made The Collector one of the richest people in the Universe.
Therefore, even knowing that this galaxy's space was extremely unstable and extremely dangerous, countless spaceships went forward and succeeded each other to enter for treasure hunting, attempting to get a God skull and get rich overnight!
But unfortunately, as long as a spaceship entered this galaxy, it never came out.
They were all sucked in by spatial cracks and disappeared without a trace, or torn apart by spatial storms!
Because of this, this place was also called the 'Cosmic Forbidden Zone'!
But not everyone who came to this Cosmic Forbidden Zone did so for the so-called 'treasure hunting'.
Some people came here to 'look for someone'!
A massive, menacing, pitch-black mothership was parked on the edge of this Cosmic Forbidden Zone.
The name of this mothership was 'Sanctuary II'.
And the person commanding it was named Yondu, and the person piloting it was named Star-Lord.
They were a pair of non-blood-related father and son.
But the two of them were not the Captain; their Captain was named... Ryan Parker!
And the reason why they parked Sanctuary II here was also to search for their Captain who had disappeared for a year!
That was right, a full year had passed since the battle between Ryan and the Celestials.
And the commotion of this battle had spread throughout the Universe!
Everyone knew that a supreme powerhouse of this Universe, after slaying countless Gods, had 'fallen' within this Cosmic Forbidden Zone.

The cabin door opened, and accompanied by the exhaust sound, a slender figure wearing a pitch-black suit walked into the cockpit.
As the head mask of the suit retracted like liquid, it revealed Gwen's cold and pretty face.
Alternate Universe Gwen hugged an egg and hurried forward, looking worriedly at Main Universe Gwen's obvious injuries: "Gwen, why don't you rest for a while? Right now, the Symbiote's repair speed obviously can't keep up with the speed of your newly added injuries!"
Hearing this, Main Universe Gwen expressionlessly glanced at the wound slowly repairing on her arm, took out an emerald-green regeneration syringe, and stabbed it into her arm to accelerate the repair of her injuries.
"No, this galaxy is filled with spatial storms, and searching it is naturally slow. It's been almost a year, and I've only searched about 1% of the area. If I want to find Ryan, I cannot stop!"
"It's all my fault for being too weak to enter the forbidden zone, otherwise I could have shared a part of the pressure for you..." Alternate Universe Gwen had a look of loss and guilt.
Main Universe Gwen shook her head gently: "No, protecting it well is also a heavy responsibility no lighter than finding Ryan!"
She looked at the Silk egg in Alternate Universe Gwen's arms, a trace of warmth appearing on her cold face.

At this moment, with two more mechanical door-opening sounds, the two gates of the cockpit opened again.
Two teams of people walked out from inside.
One of the teams was the Scarlet Witch squad composed of four Wandas.
The other team was the technological search squad composed of Tony and Ultron.
Hearing the commotion, Main Universe Gwen withdrew her gaze from the Silk egg, looked at the two squads, and asked with a hint of expectation in her tone: "How is it?"
The four members of the Wanda squad shook their heads with heavy expressions: "We found a few new God heads in the area we were responsible for, but we didn't find any trace of Ryan!"
Tony's squad also shook their heads helplessly: "The Ultron robots sent out today expanded the search range a bit more, but still didn't detect any life fluctuations..."
The expectation on Main Universe Gwen's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second, a golden portal swirling with sparks opened, and Doctor Strange wearing a red cloak walked out from it.
Strange squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face: "I bring everyone good news, the God embryo on Earth still had no movement today, and our Earth has lived for another day!"
Hearing this 'good news', no one present laughed.
After all, who would feel happy just because a time bomb hadn't exploded yet?
Main Universe Gwen said coldly: "Doesn't matter. As long as Earth is still here, It can live for one more day. If Earth is gone, then I will directly blow It up!"
These words were definitely not bragging.
Main Universe Gwen actually had solid Planet-busting capabilities!
Although she had no way to directly drag out or kill the God embryo in Earth, because that would cause devastating blows to Earth's ecology.
But if Earth was really gone, she could still easily finish off a newborn God!
At this moment, another portal opened.
But it was not the mystic arts portal of Kamar-Taj, but a web-shaped red light portal.
A tall figure and a figure in a red and black spider suit walked out from it.
That was 2099 Parker!
"All Spider-Man of the Spider-Society have been mobilized to search for Ryan in various new Universes, but as of today, no trace of Ryan has been found in any Universe..."
Hearing 2099 Parker's words, Main Universe Gwen no longer felt any surprise.
Because for the past year, she had spent her days listening to these words.
Looking at Gwen, who was surrounded by a dead silence, everyone crowded around her with concern.
"Gwen, you are our backbone now. You must not have anything happen to you again. You need to rest now!"
Gwen did not speak, but simply walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at her own reflection with thick dark circles under her eyes in the glass, and placed her hand on it.
"Ryan, where on Earth did you go? Come back quickly..."
"Hmm? Who's calling me? Auditory hallucinations again?"
Parallel Universe, Earth-838...
A tall figure wearing a suit was about to walk into the school gate when he suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked around.
But without any exception, just like countless times in the past year, he found nothing.
However, with a slight twitch of his ears, he heard faint police siren sounds!
Hearing this sound, without thinking, he rushed quickly toward the direction outside the school gate.
"Professor, your class is starting immediately. Where are you going?"
A blond woman who was also walking into the campus and had been secretly observing him couldn't help calling out.
"Gwen, help me tell the students that this class is temporarily changed to P.E., and you can substitute for me. Thanks!"
After shouting back, the man quickly darted into a small alley.
When he appeared again, the suit on the man had turned into a silver-gray spider suit, swinging among the skyscrapers of New York.
"I am Ryan Parker, the Spider-Man of this Universe, the only Spider-Man!"
