Chapter 91 - 4

Final Victory! The Destroyed Universe!

 

Marlee looked at the dark-faced Ultron across from him and could feel that this guy was about to explode with anger.

 

"How about it, my God, are you ready to fight with yourself?"

 

"Humble larva, even if you—"

 

Before Ultron could finish speaking, he was knocked away by a laser.

 

"Why do villains like to talk nonsense?" Marlee knew well that talking too much would lead to a beating. He had watched Ultraman Galaxy. Who said you couldn't be beaten when you transformed?

 

Marlee immediately flew forward, letting Ultron face him, and used the most primitive method to punch Ultron in the face one after another to vent his anger.

 

"How dare you..." After receiving several punches, Ultron was unharmed. He wanted to say something more, but Marlee took off his mask, revealing the same face underneath.

 

"What a handsome face, wasted on you." Marlee's forehead flashed with golden light, and he fired at Ultron's unprotected face. The laser of the Mind Stone hit Ultron's face directly.

 

"Ah~~" This robot finally experienced pain at this moment. Attacking at such a close range made Ultron cry out in agony.

 

"You..." The Power Stone on Ultron's body flashed, and purple energy surged out instantly. Marlee was shocked when he saw this and was blown away without having time to dodge.

 

"Holy crap!" Marlee was thrown away by the energy of the Power Stone and hit the ground heavily. The armor on his body was also torn apart by the chaotic energy impact, and scattered fragments fell to the ground.

 

"You can't defeat me. An ant is still an ant when he puts on armor. His essence cannot be changed..." Before Ultron could finish speaking, he saw a red light flashing on Marlee's body—the power of the Reality Stone. It instantly flooded his entire body and restored his tattered armor to its original appearance.

 

"As good as new!" Marlee looked at Ultron mockingly, as if looking at a whole roasted lamb lying on the table.

 

Ultron laughed angrily, and the four gems on his body kept flashing. Marlee almost thought he was at a disco.

 

"what!!!"

 

The energy of the Power Stone exploded without leaving any room, completely covering the entire planet. He wanted to detonate the core of the planet and bury Marlee and others here.

 

After all, anyone as strong as the Dragon Ball next door would be killed by the explosion of the earth. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't resist it.

 

"Ah!!!" Marlee felt dazed for a while, and then his vision was filled with dazzling purple light. Even though he used gems to protect his body, he briefly lost consciousness.

 

...

 

Marlee opened his eyes drowsily and found himself floating in the universe—dark, chaotic, and silent...

 

The protective spell that the Ancient One left on the armor had long been broken, and thanks to her, Marlee became the only survivor of the explosion...

 

"Strange?!" Marlee suddenly realized, where are the people from the multiverse team?

 

Marlee wanted to shout, but no sound came out. There was nothing in the empty universe except the brilliance of the sun... The planet he was on just now had turned into a ball of dust floating in space...

 

Even Ultron's figure was missing. Marlee floated in despair, feeling lonelier than at this moment.

 

"Time Stone!"

 

Marlee suddenly remembered that he still had the Time Stone given to him by Strange, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

 

"Huh~~" Marlee took a deep breath and gradually channeled the power of the Time Stone.

 

For a moment, the entire space was replaced by dazzling green light, and the cosmic dust produced by the explosion was pulled to one place and gathered into a huge planet.

 

The multiverse team also reappeared on Earth, their faces full of fear and panic. Their bodies were frozen at the moment before the explosion. Captain Carter raised her shield in front of Natasha; Dark Strange opened his mouth, and his eyes were frightened. He was angry again, as if he wanted to say something; Thor's eyes widened, and Mjölnir in his hand was still flashing with lightning...

 

"How so!"

 

In this green light, Ultron touched his intact body, stared at Marlee fiercely, and heard an unpleasant electronic sound in his ears, roaring loudly.

 

"You are not the only one who can use the power of time." Marlee gently waved his hand to remove the power of the Time Stone, and the team instantly returned to its original state.

 

"How could it be... I remember just now..." Natasha looked at her hands in disbelief. She remembered that she seemed to have been burned into a skeleton just now, even with the protection of a protective spell, and it only lasted for a second.

 

"Stop talking nonsense!" Dark Strange stared at the crazed Ultron with a solemn expression and shouted loudly to everyone: "Vision can't deal with him alone; let's go together!" Even he was not affected by the explosion just now.

 

Dark Strange was the first to bear the brunt, no longer suppressing himself, and completely released his power.

 

"Ah!" Dark Strange's appearance completely changed, turning into the legendary flaming demon with a sheep's head, wings on his back, cracked skin like lava, and several octopus tentacles sticking out from behind.

 

Now, he had completely turned into an indescribable thing, possessing the power to destroy the world.

 

"For Asgard!" Thor finally understood the importance of unity and cooperation. He carried Mjölnir and roared, venting the power of thunder in his body.

 

The remaining people also used all their strength to attack Ultron bravely.

 

At this moment, Marlee was no longer fighting alone; several universes were fighting side by side!

 

Everyone attacked Ultron together. Dark Strange's tentacles firmly held Ultron's arms while casting spells, constantly bombarding Ultron's body.

 

Marlee worked hard, released the power of the four gems, and punched Ultron in the chest with anger.

 

This punch! It actually broke Ultron's indestructible armor. With a punch containing endless anger, Marlee's determination to defeat Ultron shattered Ultron's breastplate.

 

Ultron looked at the damage caused by this blow in disbelief. He desperately wanted to rely on the power of the Time Stone to reverse the injury, but Marlee and the others would not give him another chance.

 

Thor flew forward directly and smashed Ultron to the ground with a hammer, without giving him a chance to use his abilities.

 

Carter, Natasha, Gamora, and other strong women instantly raised their weapons and beat Ultron continuously as he fell from the altar. The two shields ravaged Ultron repeatedly, knocking his mechanical head to pieces and short-circuited. Gamora held up a big knife and chopped Ultron's body mercilessly, cutting his already broken armor into even more pieces.

 

"We got it!" T'Challa skillfully used his thief skills to steal the Time Stone from Ultron again. Killmonger followed his brother's footsteps and also took away the Space Stone.

 

Now all that's left of Ultron is the Power Stone and the Mind Stone on his forehead.

 

"How dare you...!!!" Ultron roared heartbreakingly to the sky, but unfortunately, he could do nothing but be incompetent and furious.

 

"Let them all die!" Ultron activated the power of the Power Stone and wanted to destroy the planet again, but how could Marlee let him have his way?

 

"Strange!" Marlee shouted towards Dark Strange. At this time, a Time Stone appeared on Strange's body. T'Challa just threw the stolen gem to the doctor. After all, only he could unleash the power of the Time Stone.

 

Marlee and the doctor activated the power of the Time Stone together to stop Ultron's actions.

 

"How... how could it be possible!" Ultron watched in shock and anger as he was enveloped in a burst of green light, unable to do anything. Although he could feel them, he could do nothing, as if he were placed in another space.

 

"It's over, Ultron! Your rule ends here!" Natasha walked up to Ultron, who was sealed in time, and stared at the monster quietly.

 

She lost everything because of him!

 

"You don't know how much I hate you!" Natasha wanted to punch Ultron, but she didn't do that after all. She just stared at his expressionless and cold face, and then knelt down. She fell to the ground and punched it one after another, venting her anger to her heart's content.

 

The rest of the people watched Natasha's almost self-harming behavior in silence, but no one stepped forward to stop her. Even Thor, who had always escaped, remained silent, unlike him.

 

"What are we going to do with him?" Natasha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, adjusted her expression, and said to Marlee.

 

"Of course, eliminate him!" Marlee replied without hesitation. He knew how harmful Ultron was. The longer he lived, the more crises the entire multiverse would face.

 

Marlee walked to the time freeze and looked at Ultron, who was imprisoned and unable to move.

 

"I have communicated with you in my universe before, and you all have one thing in common: pity."

 

Marlee stared at Ultron's electronic eyes, and the face that looked exactly like his own made him feel a bit awkward.

 

"But I also said something: things are not beautiful forever, and I am honored to be one of them!"

Here's the revised chapter with your requested changes:

 

---

 

Marlee took action. He personally removed Ultron's head, along with the face that looked like his own, and completely cleared his data.

 

"Give it back to you!" Marlee took off his armor and returned the Time Stone to Dark Strange.

 

"It's still a habit of his own universe," Dark Strange joked, looking at the body of Ultron that had turned gray, and then said seriously: "Then what should I do with his body?"

 

"If you want it, I'll give it to you. I don't have necrophilia." Marlee thought that this thing would be given to the doctor to kill time. After all, he was quite bored alone, and he might be able to play with Ultron's corpse and come up with new tricks.

 

At this time, while several people were laughing and joking, Killmonger sneaked up to Ultron's body. Looking at the six Infinity Stones suspended above it and the one in his hand, he couldn't help but have an evil thought in his heart.

 

While no one was paying attention, Killmonger attached Ultron's armor to his own Vibranium armor and embedded the six Infinity Stones into it.

 

"I! Will become the new god!"

 

Killmonger was still dreaming of becoming the master of the world, unaware that Marlee and Dark Strange had treacherous smiles on their lips.

 

"What...what's going on!" Killmonger looked at the six gems inlaid on his body, but there was no energy flowing, and he couldn't help but be surprised and at a loss.

 

"I've been wary of you for a long time." Dark Strange stepped forward and waved. The scenery in front of Killmonger's eyes changed instantly. The six gems in his eyes turned into six screws, while the real gems surrounded Dark Strange.

 

It turns out that Marlee and Dark Strange had a conversation in the realm where time stopped, mainly to test whether Killmonger would steal gems. Unexpectedly, he actually did so.

 

"I'm sorry, my comrade, but you did something that cannot be forgiven!" Dark Strange looked at Killmonger's face with regret, preparing to lock him into his pocket universe and keep him company.

 

"Wait a minute!" T'Challa quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "There's no need to be so extreme! We just defeated Ultron together!"

 

Marlee wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Dark Strange.

 

A whirlpool appeared above everyone's heads. Under the gaze of several people, the Observer's body, as if his head was filled with water, gradually appeared in front of their eyes.

 

The Observer looked at the tied-up Killmonger and then looked at T'Challa, who was standing in front of him with a firm expression. He waved slightly and revealed what happened in Killmonger's universe to everyone.

 

Everyone was speechless for a while after watching this. T'Challa looked at his cousin, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. His thousands of words just turned into a sigh as he silently gave up his position.

 

Upon seeing this, Dark Strange directly put Killmonger into his pocket universe and looked into the Observer's big eyes.

 

"Thank you for your efforts and sacrifices for the safety of the multiverse!" The Observer said a lot of high-sounding words, but Marlee didn't listen to a word. He just wanted to return to his own universe now.

 

"Vision!"

 

"Ah?" Marlee raised his head in confusion and looked at the Observer who called him.

 

"Thank you for your contribution! On behalf of all life in the multiverse, I have the highest respect for you!" The Observer reached out and took the six Infinity Stones, placing them in front of Marlee, "You can take them away!"

 

"I don't want it!" Marlee unexpectedly refused, but the Observers were not surprised at all. They looked at Marlee's face with an unchanged expression, "Then what do you want? Wealth? Power?"

 

"I can allocate money from Stark's personal account. There are not many people richer than Stark in the world. As for power..." Marlee chuckled, "I don't want to be like Nick. Such a sinister guy."

 

The Observer looked at Marlee's face and realized that what he said was true, so he stopped testing.

 

"Then I will send you back." The Observer activated the power of the Space Gem and sent everyone back to their own universe, leaving only Marlee and Dark Strange.

 

"It really surprised me," Skurge had a stiff smile on his cold and thin cheeks. His eyes no longer coveted Marlee but were replaced by recognition and trust.

 

"I can't defeat Ultron alone. No matter which universe we are in, we need to work together!" Marlee chuckled lightly and turned to look at the Observer.

 

"You can send me back now. If I go missing, our comrades in the universe will probably look for me like crazy." Marlee shrugged helplessly, especially since Stark and the captain might quarrel over this.

 

"No problem," the Observer readily agreed to Marlee's request, "Logically, aliens should be wiped out on the spot, but you are different..."

 

"Am I kind?"

 

"You're not human."

 

"Hahaha!"

 

Dark Strange and the Observer smiled at each other and were about to send Marlee back to the original universe, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred...

 

The whole land began to tremble, and strong winds swept across the sky, blowing several people's bodies staggering. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind howled... It looked like the end of the world!

 

"What happened?!" Marlee looked at the sky in surprise. The originally dark sky with a slight sunshine was now showing countless huge cracks. Countless purples were spreading and climbing, as if they were bound to be filled with new colors.

 

"Infinity Stones!" Dark Strange suddenly pointed at the Infinity Stones behind the Observer. All six stones were trembling violently at this moment, and horrifying cracks appeared on them!

 

"Time and space are collapsing!"

 

"Why? Didn't we stop Ultron?" Marlee looked at the cracked earth, a large amount of heat spewing out, and he could already see the lava that was about to move in the cracks.

 

"The Infinity Stones have been destroyed, and this lifeless universe has lost the need for its final existence. It will be squeezed and swallowed by other universes..." The Observer could tell the problem at a glance.

 

"But the Infinity Stones are still there!"

 

"They have been destroyed once! The universe thinks they have been destroyed!" The Observer quickly drew a portal, "Come in quickly! This place is destined to perish!"

 

Marlee couldn't believe this fact. In the time and space where he didn't participate in Infinite Ultron, the universe was obviously fine. How could it be his turn...

 

Dark Strange and the Observer had already entered the portal, and Marlee was about to step forward, but the Infinity Stones made another commotion, bursting out with unparalleled power and blasting Marlee away.

 

"Grab my hand!" When Dark Strange saw this, regardless of his own safety, Dark Strange quickly stretched out his hand to catch Marlee.

 

The Infinity Stones were becoming more and more unstable, and the cracks on them were getting bigger and bigger. Along with this, the entire universe was shaking more and more violently. The sky visible to the naked eye had been torn into darkness, and other parts of it were revealed in some places.

 

"Hurry up! This universe has begun to be swallowed up!" The Observer shouted loudly, forcibly supporting the formation of the portal, but he could hardly hold on.

 

Marlee rushed forward. There was no place under his feet to stand. Dark Strange grabbed his hand, but once again saw the scene of the universe collapsing, just like what he had done...

 

"Christine..." Dark Strange thought of all the creatures in the universe who died because of his obsession, which constantly overlapped with the scene in front of him, stimulating his brain.

 

"Ah!" Dark Strange's hand couldn't help but loosen, and Marlee was almost thrown away, but fortunately, he held his hand in time.

 

At this moment, the universe had shrunk rapidly, with the earth as the starting point, like a crumpled white paper.

 

Behind Marlee was the bottomless abyss. He turned around in horror and couldn't see anything because everything had disappeared...

 

"Almost!" There was only a slight difference between the two. Just when Marlee was about to enter the portal, the Infinity Stone... cracked.

 

Boom! ! !

 

The violent explosion burst out with dazzling light, illuminating the remaining space. At this moment, the portal was closed. The Observer could not bear the huge consumption. One of Dark Strange's arms was directly torn apart and involved, disappearing without a trace in the chaotic and disorderly space.

 

"No!!!" Marlee roared at the top of his lungs. As the last light of the universe disappeared, he also vanished into the endless darkness.

Old Spider-Man Universe

 

At night, quiet and peaceful.

 

In the woods on the outskirts, a strange man with a red and green body was lying in the bushes, motionless, as if dead.

 

Marlee fell into a deep coma. I don't know how long it took, but the first ray of morning light from the sun shone on Marlee's body.

 

As if feeling the warmth, Marlee's eyes slowly opened.

 

"This is..." Marlee opened his eyes and instinctively stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight. "What happened?"

 

Marlee only remembered that the Infinity Stone in the Observer's hand suddenly ran away uncontrollably, and the vortex generated by the explosion sucked him in. He seemed to have fallen into a bottomless well and instantly lost consciousness.

 

"Is this... New York?"

 

"I am back?"

 

Marlee looked at the unfamiliar scene in confusion. He always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't quite place it.

 

"It doesn't matter so much," Marlee shook his head. The Soul Gem on his forehead flashed, and he transformed into human form again. Of course, he still looked like Paul.

 

...

 

"The city here looks a bit... backward..." Marlee observed the high-rise buildings and the hurried pedestrians on the streets, which were quite different from his impression. Although he had never been to the Avengers' base, some pictures can be found by searching online.

 

A bold thought came to Marlee's mind—Could it be that he has transmigrated again?

 

"Hey, man, how much do you sell this newspaper for?"

 

Marlee approached a newsstand and looked at the fierce-looking stall owner.

 

"One dollar." The uncle didn't raise his eyes, picked up the greasy hot dog in his hand, and took a big bite. Marlee felt that sooner or later, his potbelly would grow to twice the size of Thor's in the future.

 

"Hey! Are you kidding me? Are you trying to fool me with fake money?" The stall owner picked up the money Marlee handed him and said viciously, "This is U.S. currency!" He took out a one-dollar bill. With a ferocious tone, he urged Marlee to leave quickly.

 

Marlee soon realized that there were some differences between the coins of the two universes after all. Seeing that he could not buy the newspaper, he had to leave in despair.

 

"This is..." When Marlee left, his sharp eyes caught sight of the back of the newspaper. A man in a black and white jumpsuit and mask came into view, posed in his signature squatting position.

 

"Peter... Parker?"

 

Marlee rushed forward in surprise, picked up the newspaper in front of him, and examined it carefully, ignoring the stall owner's shouts.

 

"I have come to the old version of Spider-Man's universe!" Marlee accepted this fact in shock. After all, in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," Toby came to this universe to help, so he was killed because of the gem explosion. It doesn't seem unusual to end up in this universe.

 

"It seems that I need to find the Peter Parker of this universe first..." Marlee's top priority was to find a way to return home, but he had no one he could trust in this universe, and he didn't want to deal with the authorities at all. After all, no matter which universe it was, the upper echelons of the beautiful country were always disgusting.

 

"Your grandma..." The stall owner really couldn't stand this "white reading" man. He picked up the broom and was about to hit Marlee on the head.

 

"What!"

 

"Look over there!"

 

"A robber?"

 

Suddenly, the pedestrians on the road began to stir, pointing their fingers at the bank building on the corner, and Marlee's eyes followed their gazes.

 

"Dr. Otto..." The man with four octopus claws was being thrown out of the window at this moment, and then a weirdo in a red and blue suit jumped out and started fighting with him.

 

"Whatever you say." Marlee smiled, not expecting to be so close to Spider-Man.

 

Otto was not in a good mood at the moment. There was a problem with his nuclear experiment, and he was scapegoated by Osborne's senior management. All his worth was invested in this experiment, and his decades of hard work were consumed day and night. And his wife...

 

Otto felt very heartbroken when he thought of this. His wife, who had always supported his career and devoted herself silently, had also died in an experimental accident not long ago.

 

He was extremely angry. He just wanted to pursue his dream safely. What was wrong with him?

 

Otto looked at the police who arrived. These guys actually dared to point their pistols at him! He angrily stretched out the four octopus claws behind him and grabbed an old man as a hostage.

 

This old man was Peter's Aunt May.

 

"Ah!" Aunt May was so frightened that she waved the crutch in her hand indiscriminately. At her advanced age, she had no chance of resistance and could only allow herself to be taken away.

 

Otto slowly crawled on top of the tall building with the hostage, and Spider-Man suddenly appeared from above him.

 

"Give her to me!"

 

Peter shouted.

 

"No problem." Otto gave him a sly smile. As soon as he let go, Aunt May fell from a tall building dozens of meters away, screaming for help.

 

Peter quickly shot out spider silk to stick to Aunt May's body, pulling her back with force, hanging her on the decoration outside the building, and engaging Otto in a fight.

 

"He's really not a responsible nephew." Marlee's body was hidden between the tall buildings, observing what was happening from a distance, and looking at Peter's actions, he couldn't help but say, shaking his head.

 

"I can't blame him. After all, there is only one hero here, and Peter probably won't have time to do his own thing."

 

Marlee decided to observe silently first and then take action when necessary. It might leave a good impression on Peter, and communication would be much easier by then.

 

At this time, the battle between the two intensified. Spider-Man was caught by Otto's mechanical claws. They rolled into the building together and then fought their way out, locked in a fierce struggle.

 

Peter was thrown away by Otto's claw and flew into the opposite building. Seeing Otto grabbing Aunt May and threatening him, he felt even more anxious and couldn't afford to hesitate. He tried to swing toward Otto with the help of spider silk.

 

Little did he know that the octopus claw behind Otto now had a sharp spike, intending to pierce him as soon as Spider-Man rushed over.

 

Thinking of this, Otto sneered, and his eyes turned cold, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Spider-Man at any moment.

 

"Hey! I said!"

 

"Huh?!" Otto turned his head, searching for the source of the sound, and saw a red-green humanoid floating in the air, staring at him with a smile.

 

"What the hell!" Otto was shocked, his expression too stunned to maintain.

 

"Kidnapping old people is not something a good scientist would do."

 

Marlee looked at Aunt May behind Otto and, without giving him any face, punched Otto on the head, almost knocking him unconscious.

 

Taking this opportunity, Marlee quickly grabbed Aunt May and held her safely in his arms.

 

"Spider-Man! It's your turn!"

 

Peter flew forward at that moment and slammed Otto into the wall with a fierce dash, creating cracks and causing large and small pieces of debris to fall. Compared to Sokovia, this was nothing at all.

 

Marlee gently placed Aunt May in a safe spot.

 

"It's okay; everything will be fine!" Marlee softly comforted the old woman. After all, she was old, and there might be complications if she was frightened, which would not be good for her health.

 

"You are such a good person!" Aunt May calmed down, looked at the weirdo in front of her with gratitude, and gave him a kiss to express her thanks.

 

"Wow..." Marlee was taken aback. He didn't know what to say but felt a little dumbfounded in his heart. He didn't expect that the first kiss he received during his time travel was actually from an old lady in her sixties or seventies. He thought it was... Omei...

 

Thinking of Wanda, Marlee became more determined to return.

 

The battle between the two had also entered its final stage. Spider-Man, as expected, was outsmarted by Dr. Otto with money.

 

He could only silently watch Otto's departing figure and then anxiously search for traces of Aunt May.

 

"Huh~~ Aunt May is fine." Peter looked at Aunt May, who was intact and smiling like a flower. A large stone lifted off his heart. If something had happened to Aunt May because of his negligence, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!

 

"But that guy is..." Peter's attention finally fell on Marlee, a red and green weirdo he had never seen before! Is he the same mutant as him? Or an alien?

 

Because Marlee's appearance really made it impossible for people to connect him with anyone else, Peter swore that he had never seen such exaggerated makeup during Halloween as a child. It was as if he had run away from the circus.

 

"But he saved Aunt May... he shouldn't be a bad person!"

 

Peter took a deep look at Marlee and then left the scene with a web swing.

 

Marlee watched Peter's departing figure and smiled slightly. He knew that he had left a good impression.
