#223 - A prank by the gods! The doomsday war that will overturn human civilization!
His body was struck head-on by the immense repulsive force emanating from Luo Fu, a force so powerful it felt capable of sending a mountain flying.
Xu Wenwu flew out like a meteor.
But as he flew, an inspiration struck him, and he used the Ten Rings like chains to pull himself back.
He landed heavily on the ground, the earth beneath his feet instantly cratered by the violent impact.
Cracks spread out in all directions.
At this moment, the Tarot dimension was nothing like the picturesque paradise Luo Fu and the others had seen upon their arrival.
The land was covered in cracks of all sizes, smoke billowing, a scene of utter devastation.
His eyes, whether蛊惑 by the Soul-Devouring Beast sealed within or transformed by power, seemed to glow with an unsettling scarlet light.
“No one can stop me from saving Ying Li! Not even a god! If a god stands in my way, I’ll kill the god! If a Buddha stands in my way, I’ll kill the Buddha!”
Xu Wenwu shouted his slogan loudly.
But Luo Fu would no longer engage in direct confrontation with this guy.
Putting aside the existence behind the seal, whether it was the Barren Worm or the Soul-Devouring Beast, Luo Fu couldn't recklessly fight Xu Wenwu, simply for the sake of this pocket dimension.
After all, the Ten Rings granted Xu Wenwu extremely terrifying power. Don't forget that this Tarot dimension itself exists within the Universe Ring.
And Xu Wenwu, who possessed the Ten Rings, although he only obtained a quarter of the Universe Ring's power.
Within this special dimensional space, he seemed to vaguely hold the authority of a dimension lord with a quarter of the permissions.
For Luo Fu, killing Xu Wenwu wasn't difficult. The difficulty lay in preserving this dimensional space while also ensuring the integrity of the seal behind it.
If that was the case, then it would be better to deal with Xu Wenwu in other ways.
Didn't Xu Wenwu desperately want to save his wife?
Then Luo Fu would see if Ying Li, who could be abandoned without hesitation because of love, could stop Xu Wenwu.
A mixture of red and yellow, but not the orange created by blending the three primary colors, but rather the purest yellow and red, intertwined as if woven together, formed an energy that instantly spread from Luo Fu's body.
Wherever this energy passed, the original doomsday-like scene instantly vanished, and it returned to the picturesque paradise that Luo Fu and the others had seen when they first entered the Tarot dimension.
The eyes that had been glowing with a scarlet halo also returned to clarity in a very short time.
Mist instantly filled his eyes. Xu Wenwu said in a trembling voice: "Ying Li, I… I'm not mistaken, am I? You… you're really alive."
That's right.
At this moment, the Ying Li who appeared in front of Xu Wenwu was created by Luo Fu using Chaos Magic, conjuring something from nothing, just like Dormammu creating artificial life in the Dark Dimension.
Moreover, this Ying Li was created by Luo Fu based on Xu Wenwu's own impression of Ying Li. It could be said that she perfectly matched all the memory characteristics in Xu Wenwu's mind.
Although Luo Fu had indeed comprehended his own Chaos Magic after receiving guidance from the Jade Emperor in the Pantheon.
But perhaps it was because Luo Fu had received too much help from the Infinity Stones, the Mind Stone and the Reality Stone, during his growth.
His energy was different from the Scarlet Witch's pure scarlet. Instead, it was a mixture of the Mind Stone's yellow and the Reality Stone's red, intertwined yet distinct.
However, no matter what color the energy presented, the power of Luo Fu's Chaos Magic was absolutely genuine.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Luo Fu seemed to be using illusion to cover up the doomsday-like scene, but in fact, everything around him was real.
It wouldn't revert to its previous ghostly appearance after Luo Fu withdrew his energy.
Because Chaos Magic changed reality.
Staring at Xu Wenwu, who was full of suspicion after being reunited with his wife Ying Li, Luo Fu floated towards the couple.
But just as Luo Fu was about to reach Xu Wenwu's side.
Xu Wenwu's expression suddenly changed, and he glared at Ying Li in front of him, saying: "No, that's not right, you're not Ying Li! I can feel it! Ying Li is calling out to me! You’re despicable! A dignified god, actually using such a shameless method."
He was completely迷惑 by the existence within the seal. Even now that Luo Fu had directly created Ying Li, who best matched Xu Wenwu's impression of her, Xu Wenwu still firmly believed that the Ying Li in front of him was fake.
In order to show his determination, Xu Wenwu gritted his teeth and punched Ying Li in front of him without hesitation.
Even though she was an artificial life created by Luo Fu using Chaos Magic, this Ying Li was, to some extent, real, and even her feelings for Xu Wenwu were genuine.
When she felt the killing intent from her husband, Ying Li was completely stunned.
She even stood there blankly, without any intention of dodging, and directly endured Xu Wenwu's terrifying punch that mobilized the power of the Ten Rings.
Boom.
As if a powerful bomb had been placed inside her body, Ying Li's body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
But Xu Wenwu, who had thrown this punch, revealed a struggling expression.
He was now like the Scarlet Witch after going crazy, using Chaos Magic to trick herself, trapping herself, completely unable to distinguish which was real, the Ying Li he had killed with one punch, or the Ying Li who was constantly calling for help from within the sealed high wall.
But since he had already killed the Ying Li in front of him, Xu Wenwu could only constantly tell himself in his heart that the real Ying Li was now trapped within the seal.
He had to break down the high wall covered with scale patterns and rescue his wife.
As for the Ying Li who had just died in his hands, it was just an illusion deliberately created by the despicable god.
Even though everything about Ying Li was no different from what he remembered, the fact that the Tarot world, which had clearly been destroyed into a doomsday scene, had instantly recovered became the biggest evidence in Xu Wenwu's mind to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
He looked at Luo Fu with resentment. In Xu Wenwu's eyes, everything just now was Luo Fu, this god, mocking him.
Although at this moment, Xu Wenwu couldn't wait to tear Luo Fu, this despicable god, into pieces.
But at this moment, the call of his wife, whether it was resounding in his ears or in the depths of his soul, made Xu Wenwu unhesitatingly prepare to bypass Luo Fu's obstruction and continue to destroy the seal, completely rescuing his wife.
But in Luo Fu's opinion, Xu Wenwu himself was probably beyond saving.
Continuing to leave Xu Wenwu to destroy the seal, who knew how much trouble he would cause. After all, no one knew what was behind that seal, whether it was the so-called Soul-Devouring Beast, or the Barren Worm that had once caused heavy losses to the Da Luo Heaven.
And Luo Fu wouldn't break the seal just to satisfy a little curiosity.
If that was the case, then he might as well just pull Xu Wenwu into his Kamui Dimension to deal with him.
Didn't Xu Wenwu want to see his wife? Luo Fu's Kamui Dimension was also related to a piece of the Hell Dimension.
Deprive him of the power of the Ten Rings, and simply send him to hell so he could find Ying Li himself.
In theory, after Ying Li died, her soul should also enter the Chinese pantheon's hell, but hell itself was a vast dimension.
And the god of death in the Chinese pantheon was Yama, whom Luo Fu had never even met. After losing the power of the Ten Rings, whether Xu Wenwu could find his wife in hell was none of Luo Fu's business.
Seeing Xu Wenwu planning to bypass him.
Luo Fu suddenly opened his arms.
In an instant, with Luo Fu as the center, violent spatial fluctuations, like throwing a stone into a calm lake, constantly rippled outwards.
Xu Wenwu had no chance to dodge the spatial ripples that instantly expanded countless times.
He rushed straight in and plunged headlong into the spatial ripples, entering Luo Fu's Kamui Dimension.
This was the first time Luo Fu had used his own dimension to deal with an enemy.
In this regard, the person Luo Fu had the deepest contact with before was Dormammu. After all, Mephisto only overlapped hell with a small area of the real Earth in the form of a contract.
It wasn't like Dormammu, who, after using his followers to destroy the three sanctums, theoretically, the entire Earth was affected by the Dark Dimension.
Even the area Luo Fu entered at that time was the same. The entire Earth, in fact, was not dragged into the Dark Dimension in terms of spatial position at that time, but was gradually polluted by the Dark Dimension on a conceptual level.
Doctor Strange continuously initiated time loops to eliminate the contamination of Earth from the Dark Dimension.
Unfortunately, Doctor Strange's initial approach was merely a temporary solution.
Regardless of how much he disregarded the cost of manipulating time to confront Dormammu, as Earth drew closer to the Dark Dimension, Dormammu could awaken within the time loop.
Xu Wenwu was clearly incomparable to a powerful dimensional demon god like Dormammu.
After plunging headfirst into the spatial ripple and directly entering Luo Fu's Divine Might Dimension.
Before Xu Wenwu could react, it felt as if the power of the entire world pressed down on him. Even with his desperate activation of the Ten Rings' power, he couldn't resist this suppression.
Even the Ten Rings gradually seemed to lose their power under the pressure of the entire world, one by one severing their connection with Xu Wenwu and flying towards Luo Fu.
Perhaps due to leaving the Tarot Dimension and no longer being affected by the seal, Xu Wenwu's consciousness seemed to show faint signs of awakening.
Unfortunately, after stripping the Ten Rings from Xu Wenwu, Luo Fu didn't even bother to communicate with him, directly transferring Xu Wenwu to his own Hell Dimension, and then banishing him from it.
As for where Xu Wenwu would appear next, that was no longer Luo Fu's concern.
After completing all of this, Luo Fu examined the Ten Rings in his hand. Perhaps because of the absence of Xu Wenwu, their former host, the Ten Rings now resembled ten exquisitely crafted ornaments, showing no trace of their previous terrifying power.
After temporarily suppressing the Ten Rings firmly with the power of the Divine Might Dimension.
Luo Fu's figure gracefully returned to the Tarot Dimension.
Upon returning, Luo Fu immediately saw countless strange creatures composed of black mist in the sky, like monsters, constantly preying on the residents of Tarot.
Despite the residents' desperate resistance, their efforts were as fragile as window paper in the face of these monsters.
In the short time that Luo Fu had returned from the Divine Might Dimension, two Tarot natives had died at the hands of those ethereal black mist monsters. And the souls of these deceased were instantly devoured by the black mist, making it noticeably denser and stronger.
At this moment, perhaps only Nezha's surroundings were the safest area in the entire Tarot Dimension.
Those divine beasts that had scattered and fled earlier, whether it was the phoenix flying in the sky, or the nine-tailed fox and Suanni running on the ground, or the Qilin and Dijiang controlling water and fire, all gathered around Nezha.
However, the leader of the Tarot natives didn't seek refuge under Nezha's protection. Instead, he took out a long staff from somewhere and was constantly waving it left and right, attempting to kill or drive away these entities that had escaped the seal.
Unfortunately, the native leader had clearly exhausted all his efforts, but his attacks passed through these monsters every time without causing them the slightest harm.
Keenly aware of Luo Fu's reappearance.
Nezha suddenly looked in Luo Fu's direction and said, "Luo Fu, quickly, reinforce the seal. The entity behind this seal is not as simple as a Soul-Devouring Beast."
The moment the words fell, Nezha flicked his hand, and the Universe Ring, originally worn on his body, was immediately sent to Luo Fu in a melodious tinkling sound.
The moment he received the Universe Ring, Luo Fu instantly understood how to use it to reinforce the seal.
The Tarot Dimension was originally a pocket dimension within the Universe Ring.
Nezha clearly intended to sacrifice the Universe Ring for a reverse operation, using it to strengthen the seal. In this way, if anything inside the seal wanted to break it, there would only be one way: to possess the absolute strength to shatter the Universe Ring and the entire pocket dimension in an instant.
Otherwise, some attacks from within the seal would have their power shared by the Universe Ring and the entire pocket dimension.
This approach of using the Universe Ring, the entrance to the pocket dimension, to reinforce the seal again from within the pocket dimension.
Would create a special structure for the entire dimension and seal, like a Klein bottle.
Aside from the potential catastrophic crisis for those living in the Tarot Dimension, it would be almost impossible for the entity within the seal to break it from the inside.
Luo Fu raised an eyebrow.
After only a moment of thought, he retrieved the Ten Rings, which had been suppressed within the Divine Might Dimension.
As the Ten Rings and Nezha's Universe Ring both appeared in Luo Fu's hand.
A resonance suddenly echoed in the void.
Within the Hall of All Gods.
The Jade Emperor's expression changed slightly. A ring, clearly imprisoned and sealed, suddenly vibrated violently.
As if across endless time and dimensions, it was resonating with the Ten Rings and the Universe Ring in Luo Fu's hand.
But even so, this ring, suppressed and sealed by the Jade Emperor, was still unable to break through the Jade Emperor's power. Even with constant struggles, it was still firmly confined in place.
Within the Tarot Dimension, the resonance between the Ten Rings and the Universe Ring was also felt. Without being able to wait for the final ring to appear and completely assemble the full Universe Ring.
Luo Fu's gaze seemed to see the last ring being trapped across endless worlds and dimensions.
With a sigh in his heart, the Ten Rings suddenly flew from Luo Fu's hand, and then linked together in an instant, forming what seemed like the symbol of the Ten Rings Gang, branding itself onto the wall of the seal with countless scale patterns.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ten muffled sounds came one after another.
The seal, originally constructed of scales, was like a layer of unbreakable confinement had been placed on it.
Visibly, a huge Ten Rings Gang symbol was left as a brand on the towering wall seal.
And this brand was the power of the Ten Rings themselves.
After completing all of this, Luo Fu glanced at the Universe Ring in his hand, and after only a slight thought, he threw the Universe Ring to the native leader of Tarot in front of Nezha.
His figure gracefully came to Nezha's side, and while watching the rampaging black mist-like special beings being pulled back into the seal once again due to the reinforcement of the seal, Luo Fu said, "The Universe Ring should still be given to the life of this dimension as a key to enter and exit. With the power of the Ten Rings, it is enough to make the seal unbreakable."
Nezha glanced unhappily at the direction of the seal, and then looked at the native leader who had become frightened and apprehensive because he had obtained the Universe Ring.
"The power of the Universe Ring is too strong. I'm worried that ordinary people won't be able to control it."
Not caring about the native leader's attitude, Nezha said, "With your ability, you should be able to divide the Universe Ring now, right?"
A flash of inspiration struck Luo Fu's mind, and he instantly understood Nezha's meaning.
According to Nezha's previous statement, the true Universe Ring was divided into twelve parts after the great war in the past.
Five-tenths of the power formed the Universe Ring in Nezha's hand, and half of the remaining five-tenths was another ring. The so-called Ten Rings were actually only a quarter of the power of the complete Universe Ring.
Even the Ten Rings, in Xu Wenwu's hands, could cause such a great upheaval on Earth, and even the seal was almost destroyed by Xu Wenwu.
Now, a Universe Ring that is several times more powerful than the Ten Rings combined, who knows what terrible consequences it would cause if these native leaders had malicious intentions.
Thinking about the feeling of suppressing the Ten Rings before, Luo Fu said affirmatively, "Yes, since it is intended to be used as a key to enter and exit, then naturally it cannot be completely controlled by one person."
The moment the words fell, golden-red energy emanated from Luo Fu's body once again, enveloping the Universe Ring in the native leader's hand.
Like light splitting into shadows, the Universe Ring, which was originally only one, suddenly divided into two, and then two divided into four.
In an instant, eight rings appeared in front of the native leader.
After handing the eight rings to eight people, including the native leader, and letting them each take charge, Luo Fu and Nezha quickly chose to leave the Tarot Dimension.
Luo Fu's approach, although seemingly weakening the power of the Universe Ring, so that these Tarot natives, if anyone had malicious intentions, could quickly complete the process of destroying the seal.
But in reality, it only increased the difficulty a little.
In fact, it was almost like a standard routine template.
The Tarot native with ambition must first collect eight rings in order to complete the process of freely entering the Tarot Dimension and the real world. And gathering eight rings can also further seek to break the seal.
After Luo Fu and Nezha left the Tarot Dimension.
Soon, the two discovered that a doomsday war sufficient to overturn human civilization seemed to be taking place on Earth at this moment.
In the sky, a city was constantly flying towards the high altitude.
Such a massive city, flying directly in the sky, putting aside everything else, once it falls, the impact force caused by gravity acceleration alone would be enough to make the Earth feel like it's been struck by an asteroid.
Earth might not be destroyed, but human civilization would definitely be finished.
Nezha looked towards the floating city in the sky, a tiny speck of an anomaly, and said to Luo Fu, "Are humans so insane now?"
Luo Fu instantly sensed that within the city flying in the sky, there were actually the auras of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
Moreover, Luo Fu also sensed that the Hydra base he had acquired was currently unscathed.
Even Baron Strucker, as the leader of this Hydra branch, was still interviewing a group of beautiful young women recruited by Hydra with great interest.
These girls were almost all specifically recruited according to the Scarlet Witch's type.
Each one of them was quite charming.
However, what puzzled Luo Fu was, since the Hydra base was still intact, how did Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver get involved in Ultron's affairs?
Yes.
The moment Luo Fu saw the city flying in the distance, he immediately understood that this was officially the Avengers' second gathering, and the enemy they faced was the artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, Ultron.
An artificial intelligence that bypassed the Three Laws of Robotics and believed that the only way to protect humanity was to destroy it.
Because Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were still in that city flying in the sky, Luo Fu didn't pay attention to Nezha's teasing.
His figure instantly disappeared into space.
Seeing this, Nezha rolled his eyes and eagerly followed.
In the city flying in the sky, among the assembled Avengers, Thor, originally one of the Big Three, was not present.
It's not hard to imagine why; Thor is not just a member of the Avengers now.
Don't forget that, with Luo Fu's help, Asgard had just survived Ragnarok, and Thor had already gone from being the former crown prince to becoming the new King of Asgard.
Thor hasn't finished dealing with the mess in Asgard, so how could he have the mind to care about the crisis on Earth caused by Tony Stark and Dr. Banner?
Even after surviving Ragnarok, Asgard, which was almost destroyed by Surtur, had fallen into unprecedented weakness.
Putting aside everything else, the reconstruction work alone made it impossible for Thor to concentrate.
This resulted in Thor's absence from the city flying in the sky.
Moreover, because the Mind Stone Scepter fell into Luo Fu's hands after the Battle of New York, a series of butterfly effects occurred.
The future core combatant, Vision, could no longer appear.
Vision's appearance was a product of miracles.
After being severely injured by Ultron, only his incomplete code remained. With the help of Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, combined with Helen Cho's Cradle of Life, and most importantly, the power of the Mind Stone, a special being was finally born.
Now that the Mind Stone has always been in Luo Fu's hands, even if Ultron finds Helen Cho and uses the Cradle of Life to create a vibranium body, without the Mind Stone, it's impossible for a superhero who directly controls an Infinity Stone to appear; at most, it would just be a special life form with a body.
It would even be an exaggeration to call it a life.
When Luo Fu took a step and appeared in the city flying in the sky.
The first thing he saw was a scene of parting and death.
Even though Luo Fu had taught him a lesson more than once, Quicksilver still embarked on his destined ending at this time.
On the body held in Scarlet Witch's arms, there were clearly several transparent holes made by a heavy machine gun.
Blood stained the entire body red, and even Quicksilver's internal organs flowed out due to the terrible wounds caused by the powerful heavy machine gun.
Even Scarlet Witch was trying her best to revive Quicksilver, but it was unclear whether it was because she was completely panicked.
Chaos magic seemed completely unusable in Scarlet Witch's hands, or perhaps she had simply forgotten it in her urgency.
It must be admitted that the powers of Wanda and Pietro came too easily.
After being taken away by Hydra, they quickly obtained powerful strength beyond countless people because of Luo Fu's influence.
Putting aside Scarlet Witch for the moment, the powerful strength brought by Quicksilver's super speed inevitably led to a mentality of looking down on others.
Even though he had been beaten by Luo Fu, Quicksilver unconsciously felt that he and Scarlet Witch could easily solve the problem of the siblings' enemy, Iron Man Tony Stark.
During the time Luo Fu was away, Quicksilver inexplicably received Ultron's bewitchment online.
And Ultron, through his identity as an artificial intelligence, presumptuously determined that Luo Fu was not on Earth.
He quickly bewitched Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to become his assistants in the name of revenge.
Although the Hydra base was not destroyed at the hands of the Avengers, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were people valued by Luo Fu.
Even in Baron Strucker's eyes, the value of these siblings was far from comparable to Luo Fu.
Not knowing the special nature of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver themselves, Baron Strucker and many high-level Hydra members presumptuously believed that the reason these siblings obtained superpowers was entirely because they were valued by Luo Fu.
And the only reason Luo Fu valued them was simply because Scarlet Witch was beautiful.
This led to the fact that when Quicksilver was bewitched by Ultron and left the base with Scarlet Witch, they were not hindered by Hydra at all.
At this time, Hydra was busy finding more young women who, in their eyes, met Luo Fu's aesthetic standards, vainly trying to completely control the power of this God on Earth through roundabout means.
Where did they have the mind to pay attention to two guys who were like vases?
And Ultron had no intention of conflicting with Hydra at all.
As an artificial intelligence, in the online world, there were almost no secrets that could be hidden from Ultron.
Ultron naturally understood Luo Fu's power, and according to data analysis, Luo Fu would be the biggest obstacle to achieving his dreams. Coincidentally, not long after his birth, he encountered Luo Fu being away from Earth.
Of course, Ultron had to seize this opportunity.
In fact, Ultron's birth had an almost direct causal relationship with Luo Fu.
It was because of the Battle of New York that Tony Stark truly felt Luo Fu's terror. While researching countermeasures against Luo Fu's Anti-God armor, there was no breakthrough.
Tony Stark could only seek to enhance his own artificial intelligence from the side, vainly hoping to obtain computing power far exceeding Jarvis through a stronger artificial intelligence, thereby breaking through the research bottleneck of the Anti-God armor.
The result was that it prematurely led to Ultron's birth.
Theoretically, after Luo Fu took away the Mind Stone, the conditions for Ultron's birth were no longer met.
After all, Ultron's birth was because Tony Stark, after studying the Mind Stone, discovered that the Mind Stone contained mysterious information that seemed like code. By interpreting and organizing this information, Tony Stark came up with the inspiration to create Ultron.
Now that the Mind Stone Scepter had been in Luo Fu's hands since the Battle of New York, and the Space Stone had also been taken away by Thor when he captured Loki, Tony Stark still researched Ultron without ever coming into contact with the Mind Stone.
Even Luo Fu couldn't help but suspect whether there was really another Infinity Stone in Tony Stark's brain.
Although in most of the Marvel multiverse, there are only six Infinity Stones.
In some special universes, there are situations where more appear, and even the birth of the Infinity Stones has different origins in some Marvel branch universes.
But no matter what, Ultron was truly born, and that was a fact.
After arriving in the city flying in the sky, Luo Fu simply glanced at Quicksilver, who was gradually losing his life, and walked towards the grief-stricken Scarlet Witch.
Noticing Luo Fu's appearance, Scarlet Witch looked at Luo Fu with teary eyes.
