Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 195 Uncle Swallow Discovers Something's Wrong

"You bunch of useless trash!!"

New Babylon.

Red Skull sat in his main seat, looking down at the group of strategists below him and Dr. Zola, who had completely evolved into an AI and was devoid of any emotion.

It's hard to say whether this counts as evolution or not, but he has finally achieved the immortality he had always dreamed of.

As he made his move, the Taskmaster who had brought the news of a series of deaths was filled with terror—

No, you can't see their face at all, they're wearing a mask after all—

But this did not stop him from humbly kneeling before the Red Skull.

He brought back no useful intelligence, or rather, all he could bring back was the news that Thor's hammer had been taken from Hammerfall City and Bullseye's betrayal.

Both of these are very important to Red Skull.

The former means that a new hero has been born and has taken away the power that all villains fear most—the power of Thor.

If a new Thor were to emerge, it would undoubtedly pose a significant challenge to their rule.

Of course, this is nothing. Red Skull would love for this hero to come to him, preferably to recklessly rush to his door, so that he can easily add another achievement to his list.

What angered him even more was Bullseye!

A mere second-rate villain dared to betray him and even had the audacity to threaten him.

Did you think Red Skull couldn't lift a sword?

It's important to know that as the owner of the Super Soldier Serum, his physical condition is still youthful, although it has declined somewhat, he is still strong.

Not to mention the power he wielded, which was so immense that it could crush any force on the entire continent. He simply didn't want to, not that he couldn't!

To this day, he claims to have control over an entity capable of destroying all surface civilizations. He even went so far as to massacre the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to control this entity and ultimately obtain the key from Agent Coulson.

"So you mean that over the past few months, a group of superheroes have suddenly appeared and have been attacking my people like crazy, right?"

Taskmaster really wanted to complain that the villains treated him more as a collaborator than as a subordinate, but he didn't need to contradict his boss at this point, did he?

"That's right, the great Red Skull. Green Goblin, Kingpin, Doctor Octopus, Big Boss, Sea Demon, Dracula... so many villains have died at their hands. They are fast, and... their strength is probably not weak."

Taskmaster can guarantee that this may be the toughest opponent the wasteland villains have encountered in decades!

Hundreds of villains have already fallen, and they all possessed various special abilities to varying degrees.

With a superhero team capable of defeating them, he believed he was no less formidable than the Avengers, X-Men, or Thunderbolts.

But after listening to these reports, Red Skull put his hands behind his back and smiled meaningfully.

After gently bowing his head and giving a soft "hmm," a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Ha, looks like some guys are trying to overthrow my rule again."

It's alright, it's alright. They just don't quite understand my current power, but I'll make them understand. As for now...

"Taskmaster, keep tracking those heroes. Meanwhile, send in the Winter Soldier to retrieve Bullseye's head."

"Understood, sir."

The villains are preparing for further revenge. Meanwhile, the hero's journey continues.

Time passes quickly on Earth. It doesn't pass slowly in the universe either.

While piloting their spaceship through the universe, continuing to search for planets to feed on for the great God of Darkness, the Godmother of the Church of Cosmic Truth unexpectedly discovered that a strange enemy was relentlessly pursuing their small force.

This powerful fleet, capable of shaking the three great empires of the universe and even annihilating them, possesses tens of thousands of warships, any one of which has the power to destroy countless surface civilizations.

Of course, exceptions exist for bugs like Earth.

But now, more and more exploration fleets are telling her they are under threat, including reports that two gladiators are carpet-bombing them.

They even saw a giant.

Just kidding, right? Just kidding, right?

The godmother was puzzled; this was impossible. After all, the brainwashing they used came from the great God of Darkness, who herself already believed to be the greatest god in the universe.

But when all those videos were laid out in front of her, she also felt fear.

The scene in the video where the furious swordsman was frantically smashing all the spaceships really gave him a big fright.

She knew all too well how powerful this proud warrior was, not to mention that she had him completely under her thumb.

It's okay, it's okay.

The godmother frantically tried to comfort herself while simultaneously beginning her next move.

Yes, that's right. The swordsmen are very powerful, and there's that strange new superman. The combined power of the two supermen is an unparalleled force in the universe, but—they just haven't encountered a true god.

She frantically tried to reassure herself as she made her way to the silent temple.

She walked along the passage, which was enormous for ordinary living beings, to its end, and placed her hand on it.

As the gate slowly opened, a more expansive space appeared before her. She bowed low with utmost reverence, even holding the scepter in her hand horizontally, and finally arrived at the place of that great being.

When it looks up, it can see just how magnificent this space, which was specially built for it, is.

The enormous space, large enough to hold a thousand-meter-high mountain, occupies almost one-third of the main body of this spaceship.

All of this was simply so that the great being before us could get a brief rest here.

As the enormous purple behemoth lowered its head slightly, its majestic gaze carried an unbearable pressure that crushed everything about the woman before it.

"Great God of Darkness. Your humble apostle begs you to demonstrate your great power once more."

Now, your apostles are being invaded by enemies throughout the universe, and even your most powerful warriors have been brainwashed. I implore you to perform your miracle once more!

The planet devourer, who had been sitting on his throne, stood up.

Its magnificent form was almost unbearable to look at at this moment.

As he raised his hand, which was imbued with cosmic power, a silver light instantly pierced through all the guard fleets of the Church of Cosmic Truth's headquarters.

Amid their gasps, they instantly rushed in front of the Devourer.

As the Galactus opened its palm slightly, a figure appeared, its entire body shimmering with silver light and its shape completely indistinguishable.

He was riding a skateboard, and this person was an old friend that everyone knew very well.

"Oh, great silver glider, with your power, I think no enemy can hide."

"Enough. I've had enough of this useless praise. Now change course and head the fleet to Earth."

Since the swordsmen have already rebelled, then let Earth simply turn into cosmic dust.

The planet devourer spoke, its loud roar echoing throughout every corner of the entire spaceship. Some weakened members of the Church of Cosmic Truth even collapsed to the ground in agony because they could not withstand the sound.

Even the godmother retreated even more fearfully, nodding repeatedly in agreement, not daring to offer any argument.

She didn't understand why the planet devourer in front of her suddenly wanted to change its mind.

But only the Devourer itself could understand that strange, eerie feeling.

When he looked into the vast universe with eyes as full of stars, he had a feeling that he couldn't quite explain.

He always felt as if he had been split in two in this world. The endless hunger made him do many wrong things, but he couldn't control himself.

He had always attributed that strange feeling to the cosmic tapeworm inside his body.

but……

When he clearly sensed that some extraordinary being had entered the body of this universe, he felt that his vision suddenly became clearer.

He also saw those strange things that were everywhere in the cracks of the universe.

They are changing and distorting everything.

The strange feeling surprised even him.

But when he tried to ask the main body for help, he failed—the other party could not respond to him, or perhaps the other party was hungry and looking for food, and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

So he began to frantically pursue all kinds of power to strengthen himself.

He once pursued the Infinity Stones, but in this universe, the Infinity Stones are no longer usable.

He also began to pursue another cosmic artifact, the one that was originally closely related to him.

Where he could have summoned it with a wave of his hand, that was no longer possible at this moment.

There may have been something that prevented their existence, causing them to disappear completely.

Or perhaps some things understand the danger of this thing and no longer allow any connection between the two.

Now, the planet devourer knows it can't wait.

Regardless of whether that thing is still useful or not, at least it has to destroy the Earth first.

When the massive fleet set off again, Lugurgos, who had been tentatively monitoring the situation, also stopped.

But he didn't stop what he was doing. He was frantically drilling all sorts of holes in his neck—like a hardworking miner—in every corner of the universe, constantly using the power of space to blast open all the gaps between the universe and nothingness, just to observe the tentacles that appeared and disappeared among the countless cosmic gales.

He seems to be understanding more and more.
