Chapter 025: What to Do

Wang Bo looked around; everything in the world had come to a halt.

The dancing crowd remained frozen in their poses, motionless, and the sweat flung into the air hung suspended as if captured in a snapshot.

Even the smiles on people's faces had turned into masks, devoid of any ripple.

The melodious music stopped abruptly.

Time within the palace hall seemed to have been paused.

Yet Wang Bo's gaze pierced through the palace, saw the planet Coruscant, and found that the outside world was also frozen in time.

A fountain, caught mid-spray, stood immobile.

Speeding skycraft hung like exquisite murals.

A howling gust of wind had stirred up dust from the ground, but now it stagnated in the air, unable to move.

Wang Bo's gaze passed through Coruscant, saw the universe beyond, and discovered that time in the cosmos had also been stopped.

Even the massive sun was frozen in place.

The entire world was plunged into stillness, and only Wang Bo could maintain mobility in this static world.

He looked down at his right hand; the Time Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet was glowing softly.

Wang Bo certainly did not think the world's stillness was the work of the Infinity Gauntlet, since he had not activated it just now.

On the contrary, it was thanks to the Infinity Gauntlet that Wang Bo could remain himself in this frozen world.

Clop!

Just then, a crisp footstep rang out, jarringly loud in this silent world.

Wang Bo looked up and saw a beautiful goddess emerge from the crowd, slowly walking toward him.

The moment Wang Bo saw this goddess, he understood her identity.

She was a multiversal deity, the master of the Infinity Stones, the great Nemesis—the Goddess of Revenge—spoken of throughout the Marvel universe but never before appearing.

Legend said this goddess was the embodiment of the Infinity Stones, a being beyond the creator gods, whose form could not be found nor her existence perceived in this dimension; all conscious understanding and laws were utterly ineffective against her, yet she existed and had existed since the birth of the universe.

Legend said she had split herself into seven gems: besides Wang Bo's six Infinity Stones, there was a seventh, the Ego Stone.

Legend said she was no more, having become a myth.

But now, this true myth had appeared before Wang Bo.

Wang Bo was terrified, sitting motionless in place.

Though his strength was considerable, he was far from a match for such a goddess.

At the same time, Wang Bo realized that this goddess must be the powerful being who had been fighting another multiversal deity in the infinite universe.

But who was her opponent?

Just as Wang Bo was filled with doubt, the Goddess of Revenge Nemesis looked him up and down and said, “So you are my proxy? An Injustice Superman? Those guys really have a twisted sense of humor.”

Proxy? Twisted sense of humor?

Wang Bo was completely bewildered, having no idea what the Goddess of Revenge was talking about.

Seeing his expression, Nemesis slowly said, “It seems you don't understand what's happening. Let me explain.”

“I had a fight with that bitch Perpetua. The impact was too great, so a bunch of them wanted us to stop and settle the outcome through proxies.”

“And you are my proxy.”

Wang Bo was no fool; with Nemesis's explanation, he grasped the implications.

Clearly, those multiversal deities had used this method to trick the two goddesses into this universe, hoping Wang Bo would seal them both.

Wang Bo knew there were two goddesses because Nemesis had named her opponent.

Perpetua!

She too was a goddess, one no less powerful than Nemesis.

Nemesis was the Goddess of Revenge, while Perpetua was the Goddess of Darkness.

Perpetua came from a universe called the Omniverse, but one day she left the Omniverse and created a multiverse outside it.

To put it bluntly, Perpetua was the creator of a multiverse.

More interestingly, the multiverse she created was called... the DC Universe.

Yes, Perpetua was the creator of the DC Universe.

And Wang Bo, an Injustice Superman, had become the proxy of the Marvel universe's Goddess of Revenge—hence her remark about those guys' twisted sense of humor.

Making an Injustice Superman from the DC Universe the proxy of the Goddess of Revenge—if that wasn't a twisted sense of humor, what was?

When Wang Bo learned that Nemesis's enemy was the Dark Goddess Perpetua, he too found it quite twisted. But regardless, he now knew who the two multiversal deities causing such a huge impact were.

Calming down, he bowed his head and said, “I am willing to serve you, great Goddess Nemesis.”

“Good,” said Nemesis. “As long as you help me defeat Perpetua's proxy, I will not be stingy with my rewards.”

Wang Bo put on a delighted expression and said slowly, “Great Goddess Nemesis, what should I do?”

Nemesis said, “As my proxy, you have only one task: utterly crush Perpetua's proxy. Right now, Perpetua's proxy is in the Rebel Alliance. Go now, and bring me victory.”

With that, Nemesis vanished from before Wang Bo.

As if she had never been there.

At the same time, the frozen world began to move again; paused time resumed its flow.

The melodious dance music once again reached Wang Bo's ears.

People in the dance hall swayed gracefully, violinists played beautiful tunes—everything was as before, as if nothing had happened.

No one present except Wang Bo knew that time had been stopped moments ago.

That a powerful multiversal deity had appeared.

Everyone was immersed in this lavish banquet, enjoying the life they deserved.

Wang Bo narrowed his eyes, pondering what to do next.

If Wang Bo were truly a proxy, his next move would be to attack the Rebel Alliance, since he now knew Perpetua's proxy was there—attacking the Rebel Alliance would be the correct course.

But the problem was, Wang Bo was not a proxy.

His purpose in coming to this world was to seal the two goddesses, Nemesis and Perpetua.

So what should he do next?

How could he seal the two goddesses?
