Chapter 750 The Collapsed Universe

"Let's go then."

With Strange's inner conflict resolved, Mike stopped dawdling and signaled Spider-Man and Iron Man to release Black Bolt and Captain Carter, who had been captured. Then, he opened a rectangular cosmic portal.

"Wait~"

Just then, another orange-red portal appeared, and the Kamar-Taj Administrator of this world hurriedly walked out, looked at Mike and said, "You are very powerful, so I would like to ask you for a favor and take this thing away."

The king suddenly appeared, holding an ancient book with a black cover, which was the Dark Book of this world.

After Strange died in this world, the King took over his position as the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj.

Like Strange, who possessed the Eye of Agamotto, Wong also saw many future possibilities of this world through time magic.

In these futures, the King noticed that the power held by the Dark Book would bring endless crisis to the world.

It's like a trouble-making machine.

The self-aware king knew that he was simply incapable of solving the problem at its root.

Therefore, he chose to let Mike, whose identity was mysterious and whose strength was unfathomable, take away the Dark Book of this world.

This indirectly resolved the problem.

“Don’t be nervous, King. In my world, we’re very good friends.” Mike nodded, showing ample goodwill.

He truly lives up to his title of king; he's reliable in any world.

This is also why Mike was willing to get in touch with him.

Then, Mike waved his hand, and the Dark Book, which Wang felt was like a hot potato, flew into his hand.

"I'll accept the gift. I might come back to visit when I have time," Mike said as he put away the Dark Book.

Although the Illuminati of this universe is arrogant and conceited, with Professor X in charge, they do manage it very well.

Such a place is also very suitable for Mike to come and harvest the power of faith.

So, perhaps it won't be long before he does meet the king of this world again.

After having a general idea in mind, Mike led Tony and the others back into the rectangular cosmic portal.

Stepping through the portal, the group returned to the original void space of the cosmic rift.

After some time, dozens of cosmic monsters gathered here again.

The orders they received did not end with Wanda's death in the Wanda Universe. These simple-minded behemoths are still trying to break through the cosmic barrier.

They are clearly still tracking the shuttle, Chavez.

"What a disgusting bunch of bastards!"

Hela, who hadn't made a move until now, seemed to be disgusted by the appearance of these tentacle monsters, and this time she actually took the initiative to eliminate them.

The death energy spread out, and the monsters that had gathered in the new dwelling didn't even have time to resist before they were all turned to ash.

This can be considered as helping to resolve a significant hidden danger in the original universe.

"By the way, Chavez. You were so scared when you first met me, did you see me in another universe, in my fallen state?" Strange was still quite concerned about his past self, who was killed by his girlfriend Christine after falling from grace.

Furthermore, he realized that if he were to truly fall from grace with his power, it might bring immeasurable disaster to that world.

After all, the greater the power, the greater the destructive force.

All I can say is that in that previous universe, the Illuminati and Christine did the right thing.

From the perspective of maintaining world peace, their actions are perfectly justifiable.

“Yes, I saw you as a zombie in another universe, which I call the Zombie Universe.” Fear returned to Chavez’s eyes as he recalled, “It wasn’t just you; Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, and others all turned into terrifying zombies…”

In Chavez's description, people in the zombie universe retain their abilities and memories from their previous lives after becoming zombies. The only difference between them and normal people is that the zombies there have an insatiable hunger.

When there are people around, they eat people; when there are no people around, those powerful zombies will even devour each other.

That scene was more hellish than hell itself.

“Mike, perhaps the people in that world are waiting for us to save them.” Originally just curious as to why Chavez was afraid of him, after hearing the other’s description, Strange felt he should do something.

“I’m fine with it,” Mike said nonchalantly. “We’ll see what Tony and the others say.”

Judging from Chavez's description of the scene, it's clear that the zombie universe is very dangerous, so it's understandable that Tony and his team would choose to withdraw.

“A zombie with human memories, interesting. Take me with you.” Tony, who loves to join in the fun, obviously wouldn’t refuse.

"Count me in too..."

The kind-hearted Spider-Man is more concerned about ordinary people in the zombie universe.

Deadpool, Nebula, and others then also expressed their intention to go and take a look.

Whether it's a sense of justice or curiosity, a hellish world is indeed hard to ignore.

“OK, let’s go.” After Scarlet Witch also expressed her willingness to go and take a look, Mike opened the portal to the zombie universe based on Chavez’s description.

Passing through the portal, the world that came into view was like a shattered mirror, where rules seemed to have lost their effect.

The dilapidated houses, broken cars, and even the roads looked like shredded garbage scattered everywhere, some even appearing to float in the air as if weightless.

Loneliness, chaos, and decay are the first impressions people have of this world.

"Chavez, where are the zombies you were talking about?" The oppressive atmosphere made Tony unable to help but complain, "This place is so dilapidated, there's not a soul in sight. Can anyone really survive in an environment like this?"

If I had to describe the scene before me, it would be like a collapsed abstract oil painting.

The environment is so harsh that even Tony doubts whether the zombies Chavez mentioned could survive here, let alone humans.

“When I left last time, this place wasn’t this desolate…” Chavez was equally stunned, then tried to recall, “Right, Apple City Building, that’s where I saw the zombie Strange last time. If he’s still alive, he should still be there.”

Mike and the others are currently located on Fifth Avenue, which, according to the original landmarks, is not far from the center of Apple City.

“Let’s go to Apple City Building. I have a feeling we’ll get the answer there.” Having chosen to come here, Mike was already prepared to face the zombie Strange.

Afterwards, the group walked through the ruins to the Apple City Building, the only building that was still relatively intact.

Seemingly after some simple renovations, the building now looks more like a giant throne.

The floors were transformed into staircases, and the rooftop became a giant throne, upon which leaned a lonely figure.

"Traveler, we finally meet again." The zombie Strange, dressed in a gray-white cloak, smiled happily upon seeing Chavez.

Because he hadn't made any facial expressions in a long time, his smile not only failed to warm people's hearts, but even felt eerie.

“Come, give me your power. I will use it to dominate all the universes…” the zombie Strange said, waving his hand to release a gray chain, trying to grab Chavez away.

Upon seeing this, Strange immediately summoned an orange-red magic shield to block Chavez's path, then looked up with a solemn expression and said, "You actually absorbed the power of the Dark Book as well."

Although Strange in this world is called a zombie by Chavez, he is not significantly different from a normal person in appearance, except for his excessively pale skin.

Furthermore, having absorbed the power of the Dark Book, the zombie Strange is significantly stronger than the Strange in his normal form.

"The stench of decay is absolutely disgusting!!!"

Just as Strange was about to give up, Hela suddenly reached out and used her death power to repel the zombie Strange's chains.

Although Hela is known as the Goddess of Death, she still cannot stand the stench emanating from the zombie Strange, which is both like a rotting corpse and a corrupted soul.
