Chapter 742: Epilogue
It's over.
Up to this point, Richard felt like a dream. But four world-destroying rays of light hit Lucifer's body at the same time, and in his current state, there was no way to resist.
Richard watched as Lucifer's body shattered under the light of the four Ultramans, his body disintegrated, the darkness purified, and the fierce eyes and malice dissipated in the light.
Richard watched as the atoms that made up the dark giant were obliterated until the being named "Lucifer" evaporated with a shockwave that seemed to sweep across the starry sky.
Although it was like a dream, this time it was really over. Dark Lucifer has been defeated, and he has defeated the ultimate enemy who has been controlling everything behind the scenes all along. This time, his mission was truly over.
The last shred of Lucifer's ashes also dissipated. The three Ultramans other than Noah looked at each other, and in the end, they didn't say anything to each other, but silently re-transformed into light one by one, and each shot into the universe in a different direction and disappeared.
Neither of them communicated a word at all times, as if verbal communication was superfluous and unnecessary for individuals of their level.
Guarding this starry sky and this universe is their common duty and mission. Together, they sensed the crisis facing the universe and came to solve it. Now that the problem is solved, they all have their own calling calling.
In fact, when Richard brought Lucifer to this world, he also wondered if he would meet the possibility of the original Noah, but this didn't seem to happen.
He didn't know if he had taken Noah's place in this story, or if Noah in this time and space was wandering in another parallel universe. If that's the case, it's not surprising, after all, Noah's great god was originally the type of the dragon who saw the head but did not see the end, and his miracles were left in countless parallel worlds in later generations.
Either way, none of that matters anymore.
The wings of Noah behind Richard shone again, and the space-time energy transformed into milky white lightsabers converged into his hands. He raised his sword and fell, and the volley cut a rift in the space.
Noah's body turned into a white ball of light and rushed headlong into the breach. The crack closed behind him, and in front of him was an endless stream of time and space, a tunnel with no end in sight.
The problem that had been bothering him for a long time was finally solved. The enemy had been defeated, and he now felt free like never before. He didn't want to think about or do anything right now, he just wanted to go back to the warmth of his home right away, make a cup of coffee, watch Ganata run around the living room with a snack bag, and listen to Jessica continue to complain about how heavy her work was......
But it seems like we'll have to wait a little longer.
And one last accident awaited him.
Passing through the barriers of diversity and returning to the location of the Marvel multiverse, Richard was locking his own world along the same path when a force suddenly intercepted him.
Or more accurately, it should have been "amicable" to keep him.
The ball of light was lifted, and Noah, who was moving rapidly, stopped in the void in the gap between the multiple worlds.
He floated in place, looked up, and appeared in front of him an incomparably large face, a golden face with humanoid features.
Richard noticed that there were two other faces to the left and right of his face. His body was pure gold, so large that it was impossible to see the boundary, even more exaggerated than the Eradicator who had descended on Earth before.
Of course, Richard, such a famous, surnamed, and well-known character certainly knows.
This is the giant known as the "Judgment of the Living", the ruler of all the multiverse, the overseer and ruler of the omnipotent universe.
The Court of Life.
Richard hugged his arms, looked at the big face and said lightly, "I'm still curious, when are you going to come to me." ”
Speaking of which, he should be regarded as an outlier in the Marvel Universe, as are Lucifer and Zaki. As the ruler of the all-powerful universe, it is a bit strange that the Court of Life has been allowing them to mess around here.
The court of life spoke. Or, to be more precise, he was just conveying meaning rather than applying language, in some more direct form that Richard understood what he was trying to say.
"That's what it means to be supreme." "I just obeyed the arrangement of the Supreme Being. But I didn't really understand his intentions, why he left you alone, why he let you fight each other in our world. ”
Richard knows that the "supreme being" in his mouth must be the real ceiling of the Marvel universe, and is jokingly called the "OAA" of the Marvel screenwriters.
But the OAA ordered that the Life Court not interfere in their affairs? Why?
Richard was skeptical. For regular life, an existence like him and Lucifer is almost an all-powerful and invincible god, but for OAA, it should be nothing more than a grasshopper jumping on a high point.
Do they have any reason to get the OAA's attention?
"For a long time I didn't understand, but that's only because my realm wasn't enough to see what the Supreme Being sees." The court of life looked down at Noah and said lightly, "But seeing you now, I can probably understand." I can finally see your trajectory and see what you mean under the plan of the Great Being. ”
"I want to hear about it."
The court of life looked directly at him.
"Because of your future, your mission, outsiders." He said, "Everything about you was too hazy for me to see, but now it's okay." I can see your future and how you will defend the world we live in, stand up and maintain order, just as you fight for your own world. ”
After a pause, he continued, "I see you become the defender, the ruler of reality, the ruler of countless multiverses, the guardian of the all-powerful world. ”
I didn't expect that. But Richard probably understood what he was talking about: "Uh...... You mean......"
"That's where I'm right now." The Court of Life said lightly, "The Court of Life, the ultimate adjudicator, is in charge of everything in the Almighty World. ”
Richard was stunned.
Is the OAA going to assign him to the Successor Life Court?
Well, that's a big deal.
The position of the Court of Life not only means endless divine power, but also the administrator of the Marvel Almighty Universe. It was a realm he had never imagined himself. Under this level of divine power, if he faced Lucifer of that level just now, he would be able to 10,000 Lucifers in a second.
If that's your future, that sounds like a good thing.
"Got it." Richard smiled lightly, "Then I'll be ready." But before that, if nothing else, I'll have to go back. ”
"You're not surprised at all?"
"Surprised, of course surprised." "But that's for the future, isn't it?" So I'll wait until that day. ”
The Life Court was silent for a moment and asked, "You have had a long time, endless divine power for mortals. But after each battle, you will continue to return to your small life, with ordinary humans. ”
"Actually, it's not that ordinary." Richard shrugged, "Maybe you should look at it once in a while, too." The gods of the universe are the same, the multiverse is anything, and I don't think there is much difference between you all-round bigwigs. Divine power and realm have given you higher horizons, but they have also taken away something else. You're all immersed in your own world, and all you care about is vision, the law, the maintenance of order, and so on, as if that's all you have.
I'm not saying I have anything to say about it, but at least for me it's too bleak, no waves, no fun, nothing exciting. ”
The court of life fell silent.
"Okay, that's what I'm going to say." "So if there's nothing else to do, then I'll go first." Let's talk about it later. ”
Going back and talking about it, Richard is afraid that he is the first person to say this to the court of life since the existence of the all-powerful universe. But not everyone gets the opportunity to meet a big man like the court.
After finishing speaking, he left, leaving behind the court of life, and found his own earth in the endless pluralistic world, which is also the coordinates of home.
There were no more dark giants, no entanglements, no battles to fight that had to be fought.
He felt more free than ever.
......
A few days later.
"Can you really do it?" Gwen stared at Richard with big emerald green eyes in disbelief.
"Of course." Richard nodded affirmatively, "Just like I promised before." Now I can easily go back to the coordinates of your world through you, and I can also open the barrier between the two worlds for anyone to travel back and forth.
In other words, you can go home now if you want. ”
"Oh my God, can I go home?"
"Yes, anytime."
"I ...... I have to think about it. Gwen covered her mouth, "I have to ...... Sorry, it was just too sudden......"
"Of course." Richard smiled, "Anytime, as long as you're ready." ”
"Thank you." Gwen sat back on her bed, holding her forehead, "All this, all my experience here, all the things....... It was like a dream. Do you understand, Mr. Lee? It felt like I had a dream all night and woke up with nothing left.
But I thought more than once, maybe this dream is what I wanted. Maybe that's what I want my life to look like, a projection of my ideals...... I do not know. ”
She looked a little overwhelmed.
"Well, of course I still have to go back. I have to go back and see what my life is like now, and my dad...... Oh my God, I don't even know what he's going to do if I've been away for so long, I'm sure I'm already dead to him......"
"Gwen." Richard patted her on the shoulder, "Calm down, don't get too excited." You may have misunderstood something, but I didn't say you would never come back when you go back. ”
Gwen was stunned: "Huh? ”
"As I said, I can open the passage between the two worlds at any time." "That means I can send you back at any time, and I can pick you up at any time." ”
Gwen blinked wide, as if she hadn't reacted for a moment.
"Meaning," Richard smiled, "you wouldn't want to take advantage of the Manor's 'movie nights,' would you?" If so, you're probably in for a big disappointment. ”
"Oh my God, that's a ...... I don't know what to say. ”
Gwen gave him a big hug.
"Thank you, Mr. Lee."
"That's what I promised a long time ago." Richard patted her on the back, "Actually, I thought about it for a moment, and I think the reason why you're here may have something to do with me." ”
"Huh?" Gwen was confused.
"After obtaining the current realm, I can see some of the direction of time and space, including the past and future of this world." Richard explained, "I can see the beginning of the space-time discovery disorder across the multiverse, and many worlds have been affected...... It's because of me, and those beings who shouldn't be in this world.
Our presence slightly interfered with the connection between parallel universes, and the world was slightly deflected. In fact, it's not just you, there are a lot of people in this world who shouldn't be here, or some things that should exist here have disappeared. ”
Gwen looked a little dazed. Obviously, the topic was a bit too obscure for her.
"But in terms of results, I think it's also a gift. At least we got to know each other, didn't we? Richard smiled, "More encounters, more friends." ”
Here, Gwen understood. She smiled and nodded vigorously, "Hmm." ”
Indeed, no matter what the process is, she is much happier here than in her own world.
This is simply what she wants her life to look like in the most perfect way.
So that afternoon, Gwen went back, and returned to her own world, her relatives and friends after a long absence.
Of course, only temporarily. She said she just wanted to stay there for a while and that she would be back.
After sending Gwen away, Richard made himself a cup of coffee and sat quietly in the recliner in the backyard of the manor to soak up the sun.
"Enjoy your retirement, huh?"
A female voice came from her side. Richard glanced at it and saw a tall, long-legged girl standing beside him with her waist crossed, with a cold face.
Well, that's Dark Zaki.
Richard rolled his eyes.
"So now that Lucifer has been defeated, why are you still here?" Richard asked, "If you're planning to die here......
"Huh? No kidding. Zaki snorted and straightened his proud chest, "I said, one day I will knock you down with my own hands!" I will absorb your light and become the ultimate being! I'm not going to leave until I reach that goal! ”
Richard was speechless.
That sounds like you're never going to leave.
Forget it, anyway, her last battle can be regarded as a lot of help with her life, since she likes it, let her go.
And the previous "Infinitely Reborn Igo" plan also needed Zaki's help. Tremendous progress has been made in this research, and Igo, who has been injected with xenobiotic factors, has been able to achieve a certain degree of self-healing. Now that Richard is Noah's light as an inhibitor, the side effects of the xenobiotic beast factor can basically be completely erased.
It won't be long before Igo, a living planet that can only be infinitely regenerated and can never be eaten should be freshly baked.
After a few moments of sitting, the balcony door was opened. Ganata looked strange, and walked out with her little hands on her stomach, looking very weird.
It's rare to see that she didn't have a dozen snack bags in her hand this time.
Richard asked curiously, "Carrie, what's wrong?" ”
Is this posture a bad eater and a stomach upset?
Oh, how could it be.
Can swallowing a sister have a stomach?
Didn't he swallow a dark Lucifer alive?
"That...... That one...... Richard ......"
Ganata blushed and her voice as low as a mosquito.
Richard had never seen her react like this.
Could it be that he was injured in the previous battle?
No, it's not like ......
Richard got up and took her hand: "Calm down Carrie, tell me what's going on?" ”
Ganata took a deep breath, but didn't dare to look him in the eyes, only lowered her head and whispered, "I, me, me...... I seem to be pregnant......"
Richard: "?????? ”
In the first moment, he almost jumped in fright.
But soon he calmed down.
No, calm down, calm down.
He remembered that Uncle Tun and Sister Tun were both parthenogenetic Protoss.
At the beginning, Swallow Sister was a cosmic tapeworm derived from Uncle Swallow's stomach, and then slowly grew up to become the cute appearance she is now.
That's right, this is definitely a normal physiological phenomenon of the Planet Devourer Protoss, and it will appear at a certain age, just like a human girl has to come to her relatives every month, nothing strange.
Of course, it has nothing to do with him Li......
Richard even felt a little funny when he calmed down.
Really, as soon as Swallow Sister opened his mouth, he was scared like this, and he didn't know what to do in his heart. He knew he hadn't done anything bad......
As a result, Ganata continued: "These days I suddenly feel very hungry, even more hungry than usual. So I checked myself out.
And then we didn't have a fit before. I think it must have been at that time that some of our energy and some parts related to the origin of life coincided, so it seems that some fragments of your light have also been left in my cosmic energy. So...... So ......"
Richard suddenly had another extremely ominous premonition.
Dangerous!
Ganata blushed to the extreme, tugging at the corners of her skirt at a loss.
“...... So it's like it's our kids......"
Richard: "??????????????? ”
What is God...... Is there any such operation?
The conscience of heaven and earth, I, Li, really didn't do anything!
He looked to the side in a half-petrified state, and saw Zaki looking at him with a gloating smirk on his back, his eyes full of mockery.
Richard suddenly had a hunch.
It looks like his future life ...... It may not be as calm as expected.
