Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 438 Let's Unleash the Multiverse, Marvel!

A rustling sound came from deep within the mine, like countless scales scraping against the rock wall!

"Back off."

An electric arc shot from Fang Yu's fingertips, illuminating the dense, sticky fluid covering the cave walls.

Those reflections aren't from minerals at all, but from layers upon layers of scales!
These are exactly the same scales that my aunt had surgically removed, except that each one is the size of a palm and still has flesh and blood around the edges.

They are multiplying at a visible rate, and in the blink of an eye they cover the entire passage!

Lina's instruments suddenly emitted a piercing alarm: "Vital signs! It's living tissue!"

As if in response to her exclamation, a shrill cry like that of a baby wailing came from deep within the mine.

The entire mountain began to tremble, and boulders rained down from the cave ceiling. Suddenly, all the scales stood up, revealing the scarlet membrane beneath!
“It’s an egg.” Fang Yu’s Sharingan glowed gold in the darkness as he saw the embryo wriggling beneath the membrane!

Fang Yu ripped open his shirt, revealing the Fire Release: Earth Grudge Mask from his collarbone. "Burn them all!"

"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"

call--

The scaly creatures let out a howl and suddenly all retreated back to the top of the cave!

Fang Yugang sensed something was wrong; the entire mine tunnel suddenly began to wriggle like intestines!
The fleshy membrane on the rock wall secretes a strong acidic viscous liquid, which corrodes the ground, causing it to sizzle and smoke!
"Yu-sang! We...we have to leave quickly! It's too dangerous here!"

Fang Yu shook his head, "Don't worry, you'll be fine with me here. I'm determined to see what kind of monster this is."

There was something on his mind that he didn't say.
'If appropriate, then manually sew it onto the Earth Grudge Fear'.

'Form the strongest monster!'

Inside the starship, the dim blue emergency lights illuminated the weary faces of the crew.

Cheng Xiao slumped into his seat, gazing at the boundless universe outside the porthole, and let out a long sigh: "This trip really... almost cost me my life at Kayako's hands."

He rubbed his stiff shoulders. "But I've finally made it through. I only have three more hours to return to the Main God Space."

Momo, huddled in the corner, clasped her hands together to her lips, her fingertips trembling slightly. She nodded mechanically, as if trying to convince herself, repeatedly patting her chest: "Calm down... calm down, it's safe now."

But as soon as I close my eyes, the image of Kayako's twisted limbs and black hair surging like a tide still appears in my mind, and my stomach churns again.

Ma Gu adjusted his crooked glasses, but his eyes behind the lenses gleamed with an unusual light. He recalled the anime/manga abilities he knew and muttered to himself, "Saiyan bloodline... combat power increases with near-death experiences. If I could exchange for this..."

He imagined himself smashing a monster in a horror movie with a single punch, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face. "Then, I can be like the marching contingent!"

“You won’t be able to accumulate that many points,” Fang Yu suddenly said, his voice laced with mockery.

He leaned against the bulkhead, toying with a wisp of leaping lightning between his fingertips. "The Supreme God loves 'planners' like you the most."

Ma Gu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"It means," Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, "that you'll be cast in either 'Sadako vs. Kayako' or 'Final Destination 123456' in the movie just before you've accumulated enough points."

Do you know what that means?

He deliberately lowered his voice, "For example, when you're just 100 points away from victory, you suddenly discover that the mission objective is to fight Kayako's true form alone."

Ma Gu's face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

He suddenly stood up, the chair scraping the floor with a screeching sound: "I...I'm going to the toilet!" He then staggered towards the corridor, almost bumping into the yoga pants from the outer five counties who were lost in thought.

Zhao Yingkong glanced at Ma Gu's flustered back and said calmly, "What's wrong with this guy?"

Fang Yu shrugged: "Scare him a little, let him get used to the malice of the main god in advance, it's good for a newbie."

He turned to look out the porthole; the Earth had long since shrunk to a dim blue dot, while the countdown on his wristwatch continued to tick—[02:58:41]

“However,” the lightning at his fingertips suddenly extinguished, and his tone turned somber, “the Supreme God certainly won’t let us return easily.”

As if in response to his words, the starship suddenly trembled violently! Alarms blared, shattering the silence, and red lights flashed wildly!
"What's going on?!" Cheng Xiao grabbed the armrest. The control panel screen flickered like static, then a line of bloody text appeared:
[High-energy life form detected approaching! Warning! Warning!]

Outside the porthole, in the pitch-black universe, a distorted "black mist" was approaching at a terrifying speed!

Countless pale faces could be vaguely seen in the mist; they were none other than the cosmic fusion of Kayako!

"Are you kidding me?!" Musk screamed. "This thing can survive in outer space?!"

Fang Yu's Reincarnation Watch vibrated in sync, and blood-red words appeared:
[Final stage mutation complete; the cosmic vengeful spirit "Kayako: Stars" has locked onto Team Central]

Surviving until the return date signifies mission completion.

"Damn it!" Fang Yu roared, his body crackling with lightning. "All personnel, prepare for battle! These last two hours and fifty-eight minutes!"

"Try to survive!"

Stephen Fang stood in the center of the library in Kamar-Taj, his fingertips tracing the ancient tomes floating in the air, magical runes shimmering with a ghostly blue light flowing before his eyes like water.

He frowned slightly and murmured, "The barriers of the multiverse are more fragile than we imagined."

Doctor Strange leaned against the bookshelf, arms crossed, his face full of reluctance.

"I have already made it very clear that the Ancient One warned that unauthorized research into multiverse magic would trigger an uncontrollable chain reaction."

He pointed to his trembling hands, "Even a 'rookie' like me knows the consequences."

"Is that so?" Stephen Fang suddenly turned around, the tomoe in his Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotating. "Then explain why the Ancient One allowed me to browse the Book of Cagliostro here?"

Strange's Adam's apple bobbed, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "What exactly do you want?"

“Salvation.” Stephen Fang closed the tome, golden sparks flying as the pages clattered. “Something far more troublesome than Dormammu is gnawing at the timelines; it treats every universe like a buffet.”

He suddenly grabbed Strange's wrist and forced his fingers to press into a certain spot in the air. "Feel it!"

"Hiss—" Strange gasped!
His consciousness seemed to be pulled into an illusion, with countless fragmented images flashing before his eyes!

In the zombie universe, Iron Man gnaws on Captain America's head; in the dark universe, Thanos wields six rotting Infinity Stones; and in some universe, Earth is riddled with holes like a worm-eaten apple.
"did you see it?"

Stephen Fang's voice came from afar, "The Ancient One didn't stop us because she had already 'seen' an even worse ending."

Strange jerked his hand back, cold sweat soaking the collar of his robe.

He stared at his still trembling fingertips and suddenly gave a bitter smile: "Damn it. Your way of persuading people is like forcing them to sign a devil's contract."

He turned and walked deeper into the library, pulling out a heavy book with a cover inlaid with seven crystals from a hidden compartment. “It’s a fragment of the Book of Vishanti. I can only look at it for three days.”

Three weeks later at midnight
Strange later admitted that he had "slightly" extended the deadline.

The two stood beneath the dome of the New York Sanctuary, where hundreds of magic circles intertwined in the air to form a three-dimensional network, with a constantly changing shape of a magic orb suspended in the center.

“Final confirmation.” Strange circled his hands. “If we fail, the consequences will be very serious! Very, very serious!”

"Enough with the nonsense." Stephen Fang stretched out his hands, channeling Asgardian and Kamar-Taj magic into the magic circle!
The entire room suddenly tilted at a 45-degree angle, and all the furniture defied gravity and stuck to the "new floor".

Strange rolled his eyes, but his movements didn't stop at all. He crossed his arms and drew a complete hand seal, and golden sparks gathered in front of him to form a portal!

However, the edges of the door frame began to twist and crack, like a cookie being gnawed on by an invisible giant beast!
"Something's wrong!" Strange shouted. "We might fail!"

Before the words were even finished, the portal suddenly expanded explosively!
The familiar sounds of city life drifted from across the street!

Suddenly, a red and blue figure swung down from the sky, clinging to a spider web. Even though it was wearing a suit, you could still see the shock in its eyes!

Wearing a handcrafted Spider-Man suit, the original Spider-Man, his eyes wide open beneath the mask, stared at the portal in astonishment and exclaimed, "What... what is this? Magic?"

Stephen Fang spreads his arms wide. "Welcome to the Avengers Universe!"
