**Chapter 646: It Was Indeed You**
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
Tony returned triumphantly, dragging the Four Great Main Gods.
This journey, which almost spanned the multiverse, was exceptionally worthwhile for Tony, with an outcome far smoother than he had imagined.
He hadn't expected the Kryptonian Pantheon to have so few trump cards. Once their Pocket Dimension was breached, they could only surrender. Compared to the Kryptonian Pantheon's long existence, their weakness was truly pathetic.
The existence of ancient Krypton could be traced back to when the First Firmament had just fallen in battle. Its cosmic body, vast as a universe, disintegrated upon its death, marking the origin of the multiverse. Even then, not long after the First Firmament's demise, ancient Krypton had already been born.
Rao, the leader of the Four Great Main Gods, was even more special, as he was not born divine. He was merely an ordinary human, revered by the ancient Kryptonians as a "Revered Sage," similar to Confucius or Socrates in ancient Earth.
Rao rose from the very bottom to become a top genius, directly or indirectly paving the way for the birth of powerful existences like Doomsday and Golden Superman.
Yet, playing too many tricks did not lead to a leap in his own strength; instead, it ultimately led to his downfall.
Tony, holding the Mother Box in his hand, rapidly traversed countless universes, finally arriving before a constantly squirming, minuscule universe. This small universe was swaying gently, moving further and further away.
The Nirvana Universe, a unique universe where a Gaia Consciousness was born and then assimilated and merged with Tony's Singularity Will, a singular existence in the entire multiverse.
Feeling the lazy consciousness emanating from the Nirvana Universe, Tony smiled, then warped inside, directly arriving on Earth.
Red Lantern Hulk was waiting for him.
"Do you need me to act?" Red Lantern Hulk twisted his neck, his powerful body rising, his explosive muscles exaggeratedly bulging, one arm thicker than Tony's entire body.
"No, I only came here as a precaution."
Red Lantern Hulk grunted twice, then flopped back down, staring incessantly at the box in Tony's hand.
Tony casually explained, "This is Darkseid's Mother Box, a very powerful artifact, but its true owner isn't easy to deal with either."
"Darkseid? Don't know him. No matter who he is, if he dares to come, I'll beat him to death," Red Lantern Hulk said.
Tony eyed him for a moment before saying, "Currently, there's a slim chance you might last a few seconds against Darkseid."
Hulk snorted, remaining silent. He was long past the age of bickering; he preferred to use his fists.
As for how strong Red Lantern Hulk was, perhaps even Hulk himself didn't know, but it was certain that a Level Seven life form would be dealt with in a single punch if they fell into Red Lantern Hulk's hands.
Tony slowly unfolded the Mother Box, revealing a portal, and stepped inside.
Considering that Red Lantern Hulk's wife and children were still living on Earth, as a precaution, Tony did not release the four Main Gods.
The Four Kryptonian Gods were slumped against the Mother Box's walls like dead dogs. When Tony stepped in, they didn't even lift their heads.
"I want to know the secret of Ancient Doomsday, who was that infant exactly!" Tony slowly began, "If you cooperate honestly, perhaps I'll let you off."
Rao scoffed, "Do you believe such words yourself?"
"Maybe I could have fooled you... but unfortunately not." Tony was unconcerned.
Rao was speechless. After a moment of silence, he grit his teeth and said, "My previous offer still stands. As long as you shelter us, we will swear allegiance to you as our master."
Tony looked at him indifferently, then suddenly let out two cold laughs.
"It doesn't matter if you don't speak. I already have a guess. Among the Kryptonian Pantheon, there is an Evil God whose strength and status are no less than you Four Great Main Gods... Where is he?"
The four Gods remained silent.
Tony didn't bother wasting any more words with them. With a flick of his hand, he directly pulled the Beauty God over.
A hint of surprise and venom flashed deep in the Beauty God's eyes. The other three Main Gods also showed a subtle anticipation, watching Tony's hand reach towards the breathtakingly beautiful Beauty God.
*Splat!*
A red light flashed, blood splattered, and a beautiful head flew into the sky, quickly falling back down.
"If you don't speak, then I'll experiment myself. I can completely use you four as test subjects for something like Ancient Doomsday... Originally, I intended to use General Zod's remains, because I promised I would meet him again. What a pity."
Tony lightly caught the Beauty God's head, facing her wide, terrified eyes. Even with just a head remaining, she possessed a maddening charm.
"Spare me..." The Beauty God was not yet dead; merely having her head cut off was nothing. She pleaded.
In response, a cluster of illusory flames appeared.
It looked like a very ordinary flame, gently flickering with a set rhythm. But the closer it got, the more intense the fear on the Beauty God's face became.
In her perception, touching this unknown flame would lead to a terrible end.
"I'll tell! I'll tell! You demon!" Just as it was about to make contact, the Beauty God felt countless secrets within her body being extracted and analyzed by the flames, as if she herself had been thrown into a meat grinder, her every life essence cruelly dissected.
Rao roared, "Don't speak!"
"Saionna was killed by us working together! We reverted him back into an infant!" the Beauty God shrieked tragically!
"It's over..." The Wisdom God closed his eyes in pain.
"As expected..." Tony pondered, this fact matched his guess.
Saionna was not a Main God, yet possessed power capable of rivaling the Four Great Main Gods, and was crowned with the title of Evil God. Clearly, he was not of the same ilk as the Four Great Main Gods, and Saionna's Divine Edict was not engraved in the ancient Kryptonian Council hall.
"The four of us jointly killed him..." The Beauty God looked at Tony with despair.
"Reason?"
Rao snorted, "Because Saionna wasn't one of us. He wanted to break away from us, so the four of us teamed up and eliminated him."
Tony lowered his head in thought for a moment, not entirely believing them. The Four Great Main Gods of Krypton were, after all, cunning and vicious individuals.
Scum like Rao had destroyed countless Kryptons across the multiverse, with only a few surviving.
Tony tossed the Beauty God's head aside and grabbed at Rao's perpetually hazy face, then violently ripped it.
The entire skin was torn off, along with the layers of divine power covering it, which Tony utterly destroyed.
"It was indeed you... Should I call you Rao, or Clark? Or Kal-El?"
