American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

.........

In the vast starry sky, Locke sat cross-legged, constantly refining everything in the center.

As time passed, the Supreme Lord had melted away most of his body, and his struggles and angry roars had ceased; he was now utterly desperate.

"At this melting rate, it will be completely finished in three days at most. If we add that cosmic artifact, it will take about five days."

He could easily wait five days.

He stretched out a hand and grabbed a fragment from the center. This was one of the larger pieces left after the cosmic artifact melted down. Locke casually tossed the fragment into the void, where it shot towards the location of the Cosmic Emperor.

The Destroyer Armor was being reforged very quickly, so the Ice Crystal Gauntlets naturally needed to be reforged faster as well. Locke had no interest in forging them one by one; if they could be completed simultaneously, why not?

The next moment, Locke closed his eyes and quietly waited for the refining process to begin.

One day, two days, three days...

Finally, five days passed in a flash, and a final, hysterical scream echoed through the starry sky: "I am not reconciled!"

With that final, mournful cry, the creator of the universe vanished completely.

The three origins—the pitch-black origin of the Creator, the bronze-colored origin of the Destroyer Armor, and the crimson origin of the Cosmic Wonder—began to gradually merge together, transforming into a chaotic sphere of light.

After some time... Locke suddenly opened his eyes.

"coming!"

.... .. ....

In an instant, the energy in the entire universe began to surge violently, and the purest and most essential cosmic energy began to flow in endlessly.

Like a raging torrent, it surged wildly into the sphere of light.

The immense commotion caused by this torrent of cosmic energy even astonished Locke.

He began to continuously infuse the artifact with fairy power, using it to help the artifact dissolve the raging cosmic energy.

One day, two days, three days... In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Locke, looking utterly exhausted, clicked his tongue in astonishment: "No wonder Odin didn't dare to attempt a single-target attack even when he was dying. With such a crazy torrent of cosmic energy constantly washing over you, if you can't hold on for even a second, you'll be completely obliterated."

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, this is because the universe has deliberately weakened some of the violent properties of cosmic energy."

The reason is simple: that strange object was born from this universe, it's like a child of this universe. Using that strange object to refine weapons will naturally grant some special treatment.

at last……

"Click, click, click..."

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the entire sphere of light shattered instantly, revealing a brand-new suit of armor in Locke's sight.

The original Destroyer armor was bronze in color, giving it a historical feel, but to be honest, it wasn't that great in terms of looks.

The current Destroyer armor is vastly different. It presents an overall black color, a cool and icy black-gold color, exuding a majestic and solemn feeling. It's very handsome and cool!

Locke beckoned, and the newly formed Destroyer Armor appeared before him. Locke focused his consciousness into it and began to carefully examine the armor.

A moment later, Locke opened his eyes again, his gaze filled with indescribable excitement.

All three parts have the potential to achieve a fusion of their individual essences, and the degree of compatibility is very high, resulting in a perfect fusion that directly creates a mid-level single-target super artifact!

Let alone Locke now, even an ordinary omnipotent heavenly father, or even a high-ranking heavenly father, wearing this mid-level single-target super artifact would be enough to directly challenge an ordinary low-level single-target!

As a divine artifact, this newly created Destroyer Armor naturally possesses the exclusive abilities it should have.

The unique ability of this new Destroyer Armor is - Form Transformation!

It has three forms!

The first armor form, the most basic form, can also be called the Destroyer form. It is similar to the original Destroyer armor and is used to enhance one's combat capabilities.

The second form is the Ancient God form, which transforms into a mechanical Ancient God. This Ancient God is transformed from the Supreme Lord Taijun and has been upgraded and strengthened due to the birth of the super artifact. Once this form is activated, it is equivalent to controlling a top-level lower-level single Ancient God!

The third and strongest form, Annihilation Mode, doesn't have much detail. It's just described as the strongest form, and using it will put a huge strain on this super artifact, potentially causing some damage.

Even a fool could tell that it was an absurdly powerful form.

Chapter 134 The Devouring Demon God

"Click, click, click..."

The Milky Way froze, the starry sky was also frozen, and an astonishing chill continued to spread to the surrounding starry sky.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and into the deepest, chilling depths, retrieving a divine artifact—none other than Locke's Ice Crystal Gauntlets.

"As expected of my first divine artifact!"

Unlike the new Destroyer Armor, which required Locke's help, this Ice Crystal Gauntlet actually managed to overcome the cosmic energy surge caused by the single-target advancement on its own, and was completely upgraded to a lower-level single-target super artifact.

While it may not be as powerful as the Destroyer Armor, which can directly leap to the level of a mid-tier single-target super artifact, it is still among the top-tier low-tier single-target super artifacts.

With the ice crystal gauntlets on his hands, feeling his strength surge even more dramatically, it took Locke several seconds to fully adjust.

"I am probably the most extraordinary God Father now. Even my normal combat power far surpasses that of the normal Almighty God Father."

Even without relying on the heaven-defying abilities of the three major forces of the universe, in a normal confrontation, Locke might not be weaker than the Supreme Lord who had previously reached the pseudo-single-unit level.

The power of a single super artifact is far more astonishing than imagined.

"April 27th" "Time to go back~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Locke looked up at Quintessa, who was frozen deep inside the ice. Fortunately, in order to prevent any problems, Locke had deliberately left a trace of power in her body. Otherwise, she would probably have been frozen to death by the strange phenomenon caused by the advancement of the Ice Crystal Gauntlets.

Locke grabbed Quintessa and casually tore through the void.

.........

In the Marvel universe, Locke has been gone for some time now, and nothing major has happened during that time.

Both the Avengers and Hellfire are maintaining normal operation.

But some people have experienced changes that are not quite the same.

In a special room in Hellfire, the sexy and fiery Hellfire Red Queen Wanda was in a daze.

"Locke told me that the power of chaos can shield me from all kinds of things that are detrimental to me, and that the things in my dreams are usually things that I, in other parallel worlds, have actually experienced."

So, were the scenes she experienced in her dreams in the past few days really things that she experienced in other worlds?

A cataclysmic disaster struck, plunging the entire world into an abyss of destruction. Terrible shadows collided, and the aftershocks destroyed everything—Earth, Asgard, and even most of the Milky Way galaxy were utterly annihilated.

Everyone, everything, has entered into death.

Silence, hesitation.

Logically, this matter should be discussed with Locke when he returns, but she had a feeling that she couldn't wait any longer.

It seemed as if something was calling to me.

Perhaps Locke's return could resolve the issue, but it seems that by then it will be too late.

Thinking of this, Wanda couldn't wait any longer. She quickly got up, opened a drawer, and took out a book—a 'magic book' that, upon its appearance, surged with astonishing dark power!

The Dark Book!

It was obtained from the Ancient One.

Given Locke's close friendship with the Ancient One, it would have been incredibly easy for Wanda to learn the spellbooks of Kamar-Taj. This particular book was recommended to her by the Ancient One after Wanda had studied most of the Kamar-Taj spellbooks and reached a point where there was nothing more to learn.

Of course, the taboos involved were clearly explained by Gu Yi beforehand.

Wanda had no intention of delving too deeply into the Dark Book. Having read about the experiences of "herself" in other worlds, she knew all too well what the consequences of delving into the Dark Book would be.

The only reason she took out this book was to learn one of the spells in it, a very special spell - Dreamwalking!

Wanda sat cross-legged in mid-air, beginning to cast her own dreamwalking technique, which allowed her to connect with other universes.

My consciousness began to sink, sinking deeper and deeper, as if I were about to fall into a terrible abyss.

I don't know how much time passed...

A desolate and lifeless world, barren and lifeless, devoid of vitality, filled only with an intensely dense aura of death.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the ground, and moments later, one by one, tattered remains, barely recognizable as those of the 'Scarlet Witch,' crawled out of the ground.

Wanda looked around in confusion: "Where am I?"

The next moment, her gaze fell on her own hands, which were tattered and worn, barely recognizable as a woman's hands, and had almost nothing in common with her own fair and slender hands.

Wanda fell silent. The Dreamwalking Technique had mentioned that the self that travels through parallel universes does not necessarily have to be alive. Clearly, the self in this world is already dead!

Wanda subconsciously looked around and was momentarily stunned.

Near the small mound where I had crawled out, there was a tombstone with the words "Tomb of the Scarlet Witch" written on it.

Looking further into the distance, stone tablets came into view.

"Iron Man's Tomb"

Captain America's Tomb

The Tomb of Thor

Loki's Tomb

.........

They're all dead. Everyone's dead.

"What exactly happened to this world?!"

"You've come~" a weathered, dry voice rang out.

Wanda looked in the direction of the sound, and her expression immediately changed: "You, how could you..."

What appeared was an extremely old woman. In the blur, one could vaguely see that she resembled Wanda herself in some ways. Most importantly, her body was transparent, clearly indicating that she was no longer a normal life form, but rather something like a soul.

The pale, dying Scarlet Witch gave a somewhat unsightly smile: "Don't worry about it. I am indeed dead. What I am now is just a residual image created by the power of chaos."

"Is it you who has been trying to contact me?" Wanda asked after a moment of silence.

The aged Scarlet Witch nodded: "Our world is finished. Whether it's revenge or resentment at our complete demise, I have exhausted every means to find the possibility of destroying the culprit that caused all of this, until I found you."

"I?"

After a moment of silence, Wanda frowned and said, "But among all the holders of the power of chaos, I am not the strongest."

The aged Scarlet Witch shook her head: "This is the choice of fate; strength and such are not important."

Wanda fell silent again, and after a moment, she said, "Who killed you? Or who erected these stone tablets?"

"I erected the stone tablet. After all, he's a friend I've fought alongside for many years; I couldn't let them be without even a stone tablet."

"As for who killed them..."

"Thanos, have you heard of him?"

Wanda nodded: "I know Thanos, a Titan of the near-Skyfather level."

The aged Scarlet Witch paused for a moment, then said, "The Father of Gods...?"

After a moment, he shook his head: "Your world is really lucky."

"Isn't your world different?" Wanda asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course not. Thanos in our world reached the level of the Almighty Heavenly Father a long time ago. And that's not all. Not long ago, he disappeared for a period of time. When he returned, he brought with him a terrifying demon god, a demon god whose strength surpassed the level of the Heavenly Father!"

"You ask me how they died?" The aged Scarlet Witch suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Actually, they weren't killed by anyone, but were completely killed by the aftershocks of the battle between two terrible demon gods."

"The demon that Thanos brought back soon clashed with another demon. Strangely, the two demons were almost identical in appearance and ability. Even their identities as dimensional lords were exactly the same."

"It was at that moment that I thought of a possibility: the demon that Thanos brought back might not be from our universe, but a demon from another universe!"

"The clash between the two demon gods not only killed all living beings on Earth but also destroyed most of the Milky Way. Now, their war is almost over."

As she spoke, the pale Scarlet Witch looked up, casually swiped her hand, and the power of chaos materialized into a scene.

That was a three-way battle: two almost identical demon gods and a domineering and ruthless figure—it was Thanos!

At this point, Thanos was slightly weaker than the other two demons, but not by much. In a 0.9 clash, with Thanos and one of the demons working together, the other demon was already being forced to retreat step by step. It was only a matter of time before he fell and was defeated.

"After Thanos and that other demon god completely kill the demon god that originally belonged to our universe, Thanos and that demon god will devour that demon god. At that time, the other demon god will absorb the other's dimension and become stronger. Thanos can also use the ability he accidentally obtained called the Graveyard of Gods to bury the demon god's corpse, thereby completely stepping into a level above the Heavenly Father."

"By then, no one will be able to stop them."

Silence fell, and Wanda fell into a long silence.
