**Chapter 605: Submit or Die**
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
A Cancerous Universe is a rare form of universe.
The probability of such a universe being born is extremely low, and likewise, it is extremely terrifying.
When a universe's constants and parameters are distorted by an unreasonable external force, the entire Universe will develop in unpredictable directions. Perhaps it will slowly recover after many years, but it could also lead to destruction.
A Cancerous Universe, a universe afflicted with cancer, is one where its constants and parameters have suffered terrifying destruction and distortion, leading to a complete failure of the universe's self-repair mechanism, ultimately spiraling wildly towards its end. Under such circumstances, this Universe gives birth to a collective consciousness, attempting to prolong its own life.
To survive, to gain even a minute or a second more of life, a Cancerous Universe will stake everything, launching frantic attacks on other universes, devouring them one by one.
Instinctive survival desire and the nascent, unwilling state of the collective consciousness step by step push the Cancerous Universe towards madness.
Every Cancerous Universe is equivalent to a newborn universe life, and it is born filled with hatred, jealousy, and killing intent towards other healthy universes.
"Nirvana Universe... a collective consciousness is actually forming..."
Tony sat on the Mobius Chair, a Mother Box spanning the cosmos lay beneath his feet. In his hand, he held a Level Eight Singular Artifact, the Plot Gem. The Light of Singularity shone dazzlingly, sacred and noble.
After a blood war, Tony obtained everything he desired. Likewise, his hands were stained with the blood of over two thousand gods.
"Is it because too many universe-level powerhouses have died? Or is it due to my influence?" Tony's gaze penetrated every corner of the Nirvana Universe. The collapsed physical system, the completely shattered Universe Barrier, and the unrestrained influx of Blood Realm energy were pushing the Nirvana Universe towards death.
Every gap, every particle, was seen by Tony completely. He observed thoughtfully, and finally, spread his arms.
"I gained new life here, and in return, I shall grant you new life."
Tony muttered to himself, very serious and earnest, a trace of undeniable fatigue and relief showing on his face.
His left hand opened, and the black Plot Gem lay quietly in Tony's palm. A crack on it was strikingly visible; this was the price for creating a Singular God.
Powerful Plot Correction Force surged out, rushing towards the entire Nirvana Universe. That nascent and resentful collective consciousness, or what could also be called "Gaia Consciousness," was forming, born from immense unwillingness.
A smooth black light surged towards the universe's edge, repairing the Barrier and preventing further damage to the Nirvana Universe by Blood Realm energy.
Next, the physical and energy systems of the Nirvana Universe began to rebuild. Tony traced back the past, re-establishing the fundamental framework of the Nirvana Universe.
Finally, when Tony turned his gaze to the collective consciousness, he was met with rejection.
The Gaia Consciousness did not trust Tony because it had long placed all its hope on a certain being on Earth.
Red Lantern Hulk.
Even before Tony arrived in the Nirvana Universe, Red Lantern Hulk had already reigned supreme in this Universe. He was the child of the Plane, the child of the Universe, the strongest individual in the entire universe, and a native-born inhabitant.
The Nirvana Universe, of course, did not trust Tony; it trusted Red Lantern Hulk more.
A Hulk created by combining red lantern rage and Worldbreaker has immeasurable potential for growth. With a Red Lantern Ring in hand, as long as there is rage, this Hulk can truly become infinitely stronger, and Worldbreaker Hulk is never short of rage.
"Red Lantern Hulk has become the Nirvana Universe's enforcer and hope..."
Allowing the birth of a Cancerous Universe is an utterly misguided action. A Cancerous Universe will drive countless beings within it into madness, launching irrational attacks on other universes to devour them.
What is terrifying about a Cancerous Universe is not only the powerful aggression and attack capability of the Universe itself, but also its nearly inexhaustible ability to self-produce troops. Everything within it revolves around creating more and stronger slave armies to facilitate the Cancerous Universe's destruction of other universes.
And Tony had already deployed four types of Doomsday Viruses, meticulously developed by him, into the Nirvana Universe...
If the Nirvana Universe were allowed to become Cancerous, who knows what terrifying things might happen in the future. Perhaps the Nirvana Universe could get ahead of Tony and mass-produce the new type of Ancient Doomsday.
This probability is actually not low. A mad will with self-consciousness, capable of understanding advantages and disadvantages, could fully mobilize all its computing power to deduce the gene template of Ancient Doomsday. Coupled with the experimental data previously collected and organized by Optimus Primal and Invincible Dragon, it's likely the Nirvana Universe has already memorized it...
If that happened, it would be over. The entire Multiverse would have to kneel. Tony would only be able to flee in disarray with Cybertron, risking an intrusion into the dragon's den that is the Sphere of the Gods.
Without Level Eight Combat Power and a hidden trump card, rashly entering the Sphere of the Gods would be courting death.
The Plot Gem would be overwhelmed, Tony wouldn't be able to keep the Mother Box, and the Allspark's Combat Power would be insufficient to counter the countless Level Eight and Tier Nine gods...
He still needed to linger in the Multiverse for a while, developing discreetly. With the protection of the Speed Force Wall, Tony was relatively safe for the short term.
"I can only kill or enslave Red Lantern Hulk first. Otherwise, as long as this thorn remains alive, I will be utterly unable to take over the Nirvana Universe."
After a moment of contemplation, Tony, with a cold expression, propelled his chair towards the Earth, which was on the brink of destruction.
Earlier, when Tony threw countless Doomsdays into the Sphere of the Gods to attack those gods, he also considered throwing Red Lantern Hulk. But, considering the Red Lantern Ring in Hulk's hand, he didn't act.
Unlike the Infinity Stone, the Emotional Spectrum permeates every corner. Let alone the Multiverse, even the Sphere of the Gods has the Emotional Spectrum.
Where there is life, there is the Emotional Spectrum.
Therefore, if Tony obtained the Red Lantern Ring, he could use it freely even back in the Main Universe. This way, Tony would have both yellow and red Power Rings in his hands.
On Earth, continents were destroyed, oceans roared, a scene of apocalypse. The Earth's Core was also in turmoil; destruction was only a matter of time.
Hulk still sat expressionlessly on Mount Everest, indifferently watching Earth's end.
The remaining Earthlings died screaming in pain amidst the disaster, yet they didn't stir any emotion in him.
He didn't even pay attention to the fierce divine war breaking out in the depths of the Universe, nor did he show the slightest interest. From beginning to end, he sat quietly, like a dead man.
His body wasn't dead, but his heart had long since died.
Until Tony's arrival shattered this tranquility.
He looked down, then up. Their eyes met. It was the gaze between a true god and a mortal.
"Hulk, submit to me, or die. Choose." Tony spoke calmly.
