Sometimes, threats came silently. Nick, who faced the twin threats of the portal and solar storm over Manhattan on Earth, would never and never would have thought that Chen Ang was stirring waves on a much larger scale.
The silence he was wary of was the omen of a greater storm.
Marvel was never a one-dimensional world. It was like a colossal, twisted monster that brandished countless tentacles, with complex parallel worlds forming a complicated multiverse system.
There, the timeline convergence led by Chen Ang was coming in full force.
Skynet of war, mutants of famine … the Four Horsemen and their terrible creations were faithfully carrying out Chen Ang's will, compressing the living space of the multiverse bit by bit, forcing everything in this world to the orbit set by Chen Ang.
To a one-dimensional being like Nick, all of this was naturally undetectable. Even if dozens of Nick's of parallel universes were blasted to smithereens at every moment, for the Nick's of other timelines, the effect was merely a lesser possibility in the future. They could not even detect such a threat.
But against those terrible beings of higher dimensions, the war had already begun.
In outer space, millions of kilometers away from the black-robed man and Nick.
The white-clothed Chen Ang stood silently in the vacuum, maintaining the same speed as Earth. With Earth as a frame of reference, he stayed right above New York. If the entire solar system was a frame of reference, Chen Ang was moving at an astonishing speed of several hundred meters per second, although that speed was nothing in the universe.
"Over 19,000 of our wars have taken place above that city. Does this planet, this city, have any special meaning to you?"
Across from Chen Ang was a human-shaped miniature of the universe, as if what he was facing disdained to appear with a human's mentality. He looked like a violently shifting universe, filled with chaos, heat, and non-elemental matter that was a storm of rays.
"Curiosity shouldn't be an emotion you possess, Eternity!"
Chen Ang called out his name, one of the five great Creator Gods of this universe. A true higher dimensional life form, an abstract god born at the moment of the Big Bang. "You, the embodiment that represents the sum of time in the entire universe, will probably never have such a thing as curiosity, much less have such superfluous things like doubt."
Of course, the Eternal would not be curious. It did not even have the emotions unique to life. Rather than saying that it was a life, it was better to say that it was a viral concept collection of the coordination mechanism of the universe. The most perfect one was like Swallowing Star, with complete emotions and self. She would become a true "virus." She was almost like the "Goddess of Death." She was like a god. She was equivalent to an incomplete life.
Both Eternity and Infinity were far from the state of the Goddess of Death. It was difficult to distinguish whether it was a mechanism of the universe or an individual emotional virus.
"Most of the time, we fight in our true forms, but sometimes, you will use your human body. We are the same existence. Why would you use the body of a carbon-based organism? Is it because you were one of them? It's the same for Star Devourer. Why do you need a body that can't accommodate you? "
Eternity asked doubtfully, or pretended to be doubtful.
"The difference is probably that I have a personality, so I still need a human body. It's the same for Star Devourer. He also has a personality, so he won't exist in the form of a concept in the universe, so he has no choice but to maintain the survival habits of his race before he became a God of Creation, devouring planets to replenish his energy."
There were two contradictory things that affected Chen Ang at the same time. Part of it was his existence as a higher dimensional existence. That kind of continuous evolution and all-encompassing instinct made him constantly have the tendency to return to absolute rationality, expanding infinitely in depth and breadth.
On the other hand. The remnant part of him as a human also deeply affected him. The struggle when his personality was facing extinction allowed him to maintain many human behaviors and thinking structures, and he tried his best to solidify them.
This contradiction between evolution and rigidity was a problem that even Chen Ang could not solve.
"So I don't understand what you guys are thinking? The way of thinking of every higher dimensional existence should tend to be the same. What's the point of you and Star Devourer clinging on to the shell of a dead person, existing like a ghost? Death is also becoming more and more like you guys. "
"What's so fascinating about those small, weak, shallow creatures that aren't even worth mentioning?" Eternity asked, puzzled.
"No, no, no … it's not the same …" Chen Ang shook his head.
"You think they're different from what I said?" Eternity's virtual personality was becoming more and more vivid, actually learning to interrupt and answer first.
"No …" Chen Ang denied again.
"I'm saying that we're different. To them, you're a higher dimensional creature, but to me, you're still a lower level existence. The difference isn't between you and them, but between me and you guys … To me, is there any difference between a lower dimensional god and a lower dimensional ant? No! "
"Perhaps you think that there's an insurmountable gap between you and humans, so much so that you don't even bother to understand them. But to me, there's only a difference between you guys, there's no essential difference."
"My pursuit was actually very simple from the start. When you find yourself in a box, what you want to do is, of course, to jump out. But before that, you have to first do experiments, right? The leap from a lower dimensional creature to a higher dimension is the topic of my research. From this aspect, you can't even compare to humans. "Chen Ang looked at him and said without a hint of reluctance in his tone.
Eternity asked, "Why?"
Chen Ang replied, "Because you lack a possibility. From the Big Bang to the foreseeable future, you must be eternal and unchanging. Even the other three Gods of Creation are the same. They are huge, but rigid, without emotions, and will not produce variables that are beyond my control. Experiments under my control are meaningless! "
"I need someone to bring me new opportunities, knowledge, ideas, and inspiration. This must be a miracle that is beyond my control, a miracle that leaps from a lower dimension to a higher dimension."
"Then it must first have unlimited possibilities, and secondly, it must be beyond my control. It is like a seed that I can't control, growing freely on suitable soil and giving me an unexpected fruit. But first, I have to filter out such a seed, something that can be called a miracle. "
