Chapter 480: Doomsday Spores (2)
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
Doomsday was rushing towards Earth at an astonishing speed. Every second, he crossed countless galaxies. In his eyes, the specks of stars were no different from trash.
Unexpectedly, his eyes held no trace of savagery, but were instead filled with cold indifference.
It was the cold, grim indifference born from slaughtering countless universes.
Over a long period of time, through endless slaughter, his reason had slowly returned. The initial madness and chaos had been replaced by reason.
This was the most terrifying thing of all: a beast with extremely high intelligence.
He understood nothing of social niceties or logical reasoning, but the instinct and self-developed intellect he possessed already made him utterly terrifying.
He constantly learned, constantly observed, constantly using what he learned to destroy the old.
He was Doomsday. Wherever he went was the day of destruction for all life, the coming of the apocalypse.
He had crossed universes to get here. Deep within his eyes, his indifference was tinged with a trace of greed and desire, fixedly staring in one direction.
There lay something he desperately needed, the only thing he lacked.
His intuition told him that once he obtained it, he would become whole, complete. Not like now, where he always felt something was missing, aimlessly destroying one universe after another in a desperate search.
He didn't even understand what he was searching for.
But now he knew. That supreme, singular essence—this universe held what he needed.
Learn, learn, learn!
Learn this essence, evolve to possess this essence, and then kill the one who taught him. He would become perfect!
He would become the one and only Doomsday in the history of the multiverse!
Those inferior brethren, that trash sharing his genes who trembled before him, would all be erased forever. He would become the sole individual of his kind in existence.
Within his sight, the blue planet was already close. He abruptly halted his high-speed flight, the terrifying energy fluctuations making the entire solar system tremble beneath his feet.
The yellow sun burned brightly. Doomsday merely glanced at it before shifting his gaze away with indifference.
A yellow sun was a good thing; he had known this when he was incomparably weak. Back then, he had frantically searched the universe for yellow suns, absorbing their energy to grow stronger.
But now, he no longer needed it. A mere yellow sun could offer him nothing.
Far away from him, some factions from the Prime Universe were observing in silence. Sinestro was also hidden in the darkness, his expression incredibly grim.
"I rushed here as fast as I could, but I'm still one step behind!" Sinestro's face was ashen as he gnashed his teeth.
The green light gradually faded, as he was wary of being discovered by Doomsday.
He had wanted to reach the solar system first, quickly retrieve the being who had inherited Su's ring, and then return to New Oa. Unfortunately, even after pushing the Green Lantern Ring's speed to its limit, he was still a step too slow.
In fact, being only one step behind was a testament to the power of the Green Lantern Ring.
The ring allowed a Lantern to travel from one end of the universe to the other in an extremely short time—a result of willpower amplified to its absolute peak.
He could only just keep pace with a beast like Doomsday, who possessed intelligence but no real intellect. If it were Trigon, he would have arrived in the solar system in an instant.
Sinestro observed cautiously, his expression grave. This visitor from an outer universe was heading straight for the solar system, and he had no idea what it wanted.
Most importantly, would Su's successor survive, and what method would Tony use to deal with this monster?
A figure, tiny yet seemingly larger than the solar system itself, flew up from Earth into outer space and came to a stop.
Two figures faced each other in the solar system. Faintly, a world-ending aura erupted. Solar flares immediately exploded on the sun, which became extremely volatile.
The eight planets also trembled faintly, their orbits seemingly interfered with by a giant hand, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Tony had arrived. Standing in space, he gazed at Doomsday from hundreds of millions of miles away.
Before them, the very concepts of space and distance seemed laughable. That vast expanse was like a small boat in the ocean before their subversive power; a gentle puff of air could capsize it.
Space? Such a thing could be shattered at any time. The greatest of distances could be crushed and molded into something else.
As expected, Doomsday did not attack. Instead, he calmly observed Tony. Within his grim gaze, there seemed to be a hint of... suspicion?
Doomsday had slaughtered countless lives and battled innumerable foes. Some were powerful and invincible, others possessed supreme intellect—in the end, they all died.
But this person before him, the aura emanating from his body was madly attracting him. At the same time, despite being incomparably weak, he was not at a disadvantage in their confrontation.
This was because Tony had released a portion of his information aggregate to counter Doomsday's threat.
At this moment, Tony's heart was also heavy with pressure. Who wouldn't be intimidated when facing the Ancient Doomsday?
Attacking him only makes him stronger. Trying to kill him is utterly laughable.
Tony stared coldly at the monster opposite him. Only by facing it directly could one sense its unique quality—something called reason.
Doomsday, as expected, didn't blast him to smithereens. Instead, it was trying to complete the unknown part of itself that it lacked. Until it did so, it wouldn't kill him so easily.
The Doomsday covered in bone spurs gently raised a hand. Space-time trembled, and life wailed. Then, his eyes suddenly turned crimson, and with a hint of caution, he unleashed a blast of heat vision straight at Tony.
The moment the heat vision, containing a temperature of over a hundred million degrees, struck Tony, it was blocked by the energy that erupted from within him.
Doomsday relaxed slightly, estimating that this ant before him wouldn't die so easily.
Roar!
Doomsday let out a low roar and charged forward ferociously. In Tony's perception, a seed quietly flew out from Doomsday's body, moving toward Tony at an even faster speed.
The Doomsday Spores, an alternative clone that Doomsday used for plunder and revival, successfully implanted themselves on Tony.
Doomsday roared again, a trace of excitement in its eyes. Under its control, the Doomsday Spores immediately erupted, on the verge of growing from a seed into a great tree.
From the spores, Doomsday clearly absorbed an astonishingly pure essence. It was a high-level form of energy, a manifestation of rules.
These unreasonable Doomsday Spores were now inside Tony's body, madly sensing and extracting everything of value.
Doomsday let out a joyous roar. He stopped and looked at Tony with a mocking gaze. He was changing, changing in a way that excited even himself. He felt himself becoming whole.
As for Tony? Being completely drained of everything and turned into a dried corpse was the inevitable result.
Who would care about the thoughts of their nourishment? Feeling the changes within himself, Doomsday grew even more impatient. Just as he was about to urge the spores to sprout and completely parasitize Tony's body and soul...
But Tony smiled, as if a great weight had been lifted. He flashed a brilliant white grin at the ferocious and terrifying Doomsday. "Thank you, you idiot. As a reward, I'll find a way to kill you in the future, so you can embrace Death forever."
"We'll meet again, in the Sphere of the Gods."
A fierce glint appeared in Tony's eyes. Before the spores could sprout, three Mother Boxes abruptly materialized in front of him. Under the direction of Tony's Allspark, they seamlessly fused together. A blinding white light erupted, shooting straight toward Doomsday.
It was too fast, so fast it transcended space-time.
Countless dimensions were covered by the portal formed from the white light. Doomsday had no time to react. The moment he was struck, he vanished into the white light.
Faintly, an indignant roar echoed in Tony's ears, filled with unparalleled violent madness and hatred.
