Chapter 186 The Flash (Movie Version)
Seeing that physical attacks were ineffective, Zombie Thanos activated the Time Stone, sending layers of green halos rippling outward.
Under the oppression of this law, the hands of time around Lucas spun wildly in reverse. Bound by the causality of time, his cellular activity and physical density seemed intent on forcefully reverting back twenty years.
"Buddy, who are you looking down on? I am almost two hundred years old!"
"The time it takes for a single pimple of mine to fade is more than twenty years, you know that?"
Lucas’s gaze turned cold.
Ten thousand rays of red light lit up in his eyes. The absolute causality of the Omega Effect was inherently independent of time and possessed the attribute of immunity to erasure.
Therefore, Lucas unleashed the Omega Beams, directly nailing the time magic ring in place, and unreasonably counter-invaded along the causal line of the flow of time.
Swish!
Causal backlash!
Before Zombie Thanos could even react, the Time Stone was forcefully knocked out, detaching from the Infinity Gauntlet.
Loot dropped!
Lucas teleported close, grabbed out, and steadily clutched the Time Stone in his hand.
[Time Stone detected, absorb it?]
"Absorb it!"
[Ding! Absorption complete! The host has preliminarily mastered the abilities of time stop, time reversal, and timeline observation...]
"Roar!!!"
Having lost one Time Stone, Thanos fell into a state of frenzy.
But he still had the Reality Stone, Space Stone, Power Stone, and Soul Stone.
Thanos’s large hand gripped toward the distant horizon, and the law of space tore through the void. At this moment, the zombie tyrant, tens of astronomical units away, forcefully used the power of the stones to crush the ice giant at the edge of the solar system.
Neptune!
Tens of trillions of tons of solid methane, ammonia, and rock core, violently grafted by spatial displacement, transformed into a storm filling the entire vacuum, smashing down fiercely toward Lucas.
This is how foreigners fight in sci-fi!
No matter how grand the power is, in the end, it just comes down to hitting people with rocks.
"Clumsy purple sweet potato! The power of the stones isn’t used like that!"
Lucas stood in place without even moving a finger, green fluctuations entwining his body surface.
He only needed to fiddle with the laws of time.
"Spacetime reversal, open!"
The Neptune torrent that was about to rush to his nose, before that terrifying freezing qi could invade his body surface, fell into absolute stillness.
How strong is the Time Stone!
Dormammu: Please watch the VCR!
With a thought from Lucas, those tens of trillions of tons of ice crystals and rock fragments actually retreated in reverse like a reversed movie film at a speed ten times faster than when they came, condensing back into the original Neptune.
Not even a trace of dust was left behind.
Lucas’s figure fluttered, and every step forward could span several astronomical units.
This was no longer super speed, but spatial translocation.
No!
Nor was it!
He had simply paused Thanos’s time flow, releasing Thanos’s time stillness for every distance he flew forward.
At first glance, one would think Lucas was teleporting instantly.
The power of time was just that powerful; teasing Thanos was extremely easy.
"Eat my hand blade!"
Lucas descended instantly, chopping straight down at Thanos’s head.
Swish!!!
Thanos didn’t even have time to make virtualization and translocation; that huge head, along with the entire Infinity Gauntlet, was chopped off in the void.
Lucas had chopped it diagonally.
Although it lacked symmetrical beauty, he only wanted the Infinity Gauntlet.
Losing host support, the four Infinity Stones fell into deep space and were recaptured by Lucas.
[Space, Power, Reality, and Soul Infinity Stones detected, absorb them?]
"Of course absorb!"
Infinity Stones in the cinematic Universe were a dime a dozen, and the TVA could grab a handful at will.
But the Infinity Stones from the What If...? series had a gold content that was rock-solid; they could not only be used in a single Universe, but they could still run amok in other Universes.
When the power of the five Infinity Stones, through the Mind Stone as the sole logical bridge, combined with the unique bloodline of the Viltrumite and superimposing the Omega Effect.
The instant they fused into one!
The multi-dimensional spacetime of the entire What If...? Universe emitted a dull roar, and layers of ripples rippled through the void.
The six stones converged.
Lucas closed his eyes, feeling the strength of every cell in his body become fuller and stronger under the feedback of the Infinite Power.
At the same time, the Bio-field on his body surface grew stronger, mutating into a stream of light full of divinity.
Just standing there caused singularity cracks to form on the spot.
What was even more terrifying was that the Omega Effect in Lucas’s eyes could forcibly evaporate the entire single Universe in a single thought, and that too from the causal level.
"Yoshi!"
"With this kind of strength, when I go to DC next time, I shouldn’t be chased around!"
Lucas shattered the void, Lucas took a step and returned to the Wakanda grassland.
"It’s all resolved!"
He stood in the center of the grassland, the Infinite Power operating. Without even snapping his fingers, with just a single thought, he modified the entire reality.
Earth was restructured.
The zombies that had previously existed in every corner of Earth, as well as the mountains of flesh and blood, were wiped out in an instant.
Buildings rose from the ground, and the zombified Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Wanda... these dead superheroes all came back to life, and in the posture of normal people.
"I, we are..."
Tony Stark had a bewildered look on his face.
He only remembered receiving an order at the time to go to New York for a mission, but suddenly his brain felt hot, and then he lost consciousness.
In his remaining memories, there were only some fragments.
He was even unwilling to recall them.
[Current World Conquest progress: 30%]
In the following half-month, Lucas continued to rewrite reality, sweeping around in the Universe, wiping out some zombie aliens, and even beating up several Celestials and forcefully blowing up Galactus.
He also single-handedly broke into Sakaar, punched through the Grandmaster’s arena, pulled him off his throne, and kicked him a few times.
But the World Government progress was stuck and motionless.
It remained firmly at 30%.
Lucas savored the taste; this World followed the plot, and the zombie Universe was only part of the plot, followed by the battle between Infinite Ultron and the Watcher.
"Fine!"
"Forget it then, I’ll come back to clean up the mess later!"
"The battle of the Watchers is beyond my scope!"
Lucas decided to head back.
"Brother System, let’s go!"
"Return to DC!"
...
The World spun.
When Lucas opened his eyes again, the surroundings were once again of a familiar dark texture. Looking down from above, beneath his feet were the smoke-filled ruins of war.
Not far away.
Several familiar figures were being pressed to the ground and beaten by a Kryptonian.
"That’s not right, which DC Universe World is this?"
An elderly Batman wearing tactical heavy armor was constantly coughing up blood while frantically fighting back with firearms.
Superman was replaced by Supergirl.
With short black hair, a slender and smooth figure, and a heroic and dashing appearance.
And two Flashes running around over there.
"Movie Flash?"
