Chapter 2036 [The System of Returning to the Apocalypse of All Heavens], A Transmigrator from the Marvel Universe
Marvel Universe "Sandbox-9-Ω".
This universe is a fairly normal Marvel parallel universe, with the timeline taking place shortly after the initial formation of the Avengers.
At this moment, at the center of the universe, the concepts of space and time are undergoing terrifying distortion and lamentation.
Half of the dimension is shrouded in a kind of "static stillness" that is neither existent nor nonexistent.
It is an absolute state in which even the distinction between "existence" and "non-existence" becomes blurred.
Time loses its meaning here, and space freezes into a paradox.
This is an absolute "order" and "imprisonment" formed by the intertwining of eternity and infinite power, aiming to strip the target from all variables and perform an analysis of absolute stillness.
The other half of the dimension was filled with a violent, chaotic, and ominous "end" power.
This force is not simply destructive energy; it is more like a corrosive "concept".
The inevitability of ending, decay, decline, and the return of all things to nothingness is manifested here.
Wherever the blood-red light passed, the stars did not explode, but instead instantly weathered and decayed into the most basic dust, as if they had undergone trillions of years; the physical laws were directly "negated" from the rules by the concept of "end".
At the heart of this fierce confrontation, a figure was enveloped in a highly condensed, heart-pulsating, dark red blood light.
It is the host "Luo Hou" and the [All Heavens Doomsday Return to Ruins System] bound to his soul.
At this moment, Luo Hou no longer possessed the arrogance and ambition he had when he first obtained the system and intended to wreak havoc in the Marvel world to gain power through destruction.
His "Doomsday Demon God Body," which had been strengthened countless times by the system and was strong enough to withstand the explosion of a galaxy, was covered with marks like cracks in porcelain ice. Each crack simultaneously presented two contradictory states of erosion: "existence" and "nothingness."
It was as if his very existence was being forcibly torn apart by two supreme rules.
"System, is this the 'foolproof' infiltration you were talking about?!"
"Didn't you say your 'Apocalyptic Ruins Power' was enough to blind any world's detection? What the hell is this?!"
Rahu's soul roared, and his connection with the system became intermittent due to the terrifying pressure from the outside world, conveying a tearing pain.
The usually indifferent system notification in his mind now sounded more urgent and shrill than ever before, even carrying an almost angry, resounding tone:
[Highest priority alert: Targeted blocking and analysis of multiple "aggregates of world's underlying rules" detected. Energy level: Multiverse level! Rule authority: Highest!]
[Warning! The "concealment" state has been forcibly breached! The "causal interruption" barrier has been subjected to intense erosion!]
[Judgment: The host and system have been exposed to the view of the highest-level administrator in the world.]
Conventional confrontation strategies have failed! Conventional escape strategies have failed!
[The final war agreement is activated: The end of the world!]
[Authorization Unlocked: Return to the Origin! Maximize the Erosion Mode! Regardless of the Cost!]
[WARNING! Forcibly driving the Origin of Return to Nothingness to oppose the underlying rules of the world will cause permanent damage to the system core and irreversible contamination of the host's foundation! Estimated success rate: 7.3%!]
[In the parsing of the target rule structure, there is high-strength assimilation resistance. Concept overwriting is enabled.]
The system's voice became intermittent at the end, as if it were wrestling with a more powerful force at the level of rules.
"Forget about damage and pollution! Get out of there!"
"Otherwise, we would all be captured by them."
"Start it! Start it up!"
In despair, Luo Hou's will erupted with its final ferocity, frantically urging every bit of power it possessed that was connected to the system.
"Roar!!!"
The dark red light suddenly exploded, transforming into a thin thread as fine as a hair, yet seemingly capable of severing all concepts and ending all existence—the "Line of Return to Nothingness"!
The moment this "line" appeared, the entire "Sandbox-9-Ω" universe emitted an unbearable groan from the very foundation of its existence.
The "boundary" of the universe, the world barrier reinforced and locked by eternal and infinite power, was cut open by this "line" that condensed the ultimate origin of the [All Heavens Doomsday Return to Ruins System].
At the same time, Luo Hou let out an extremely shrill scream. His body rapidly degenerated from the state of "Doomsday Demon God Body". It was as if an invisible hand forcibly stripped away and sacrificed his power, his flesh and blood, and his essence of existence, and injected them into that "Line of Return to Nothingness".
The system's dark red light dimmed at a visible speed and even began to flicker unstably.
The gaze of the supreme god, or rather, the cold cosmic management mechanism, seemed to "fluctuate" slightly at this moment.
The "static" force that enveloped half a dimension suddenly intensified, attempting to completely "freeze" the "Line of Return to Nothingness" along with Rahu and the system within it, erasing the concept of its "action" in terms of time and possibility.
The mixed erosive force representing death and annihilation, which permeated the other half of the dimension, also intensified suddenly, attempting to disintegrate this rebellious "foreign object" from both ends of "existence" and "nothingness".
The "Sandbox-9-Ω" universe finally couldn't take it anymore.
Time, space, matter, energy, laws, and information—everything that constitutes this universe—is like a shattered mirror, beginning to dissipate from its most fundamental level.
Stars, galaxies, life, civilization.
All traces of its existence have silently faded into oblivion.
And in the midst of this cosmic cataclysm, just as the two supreme forces of law converged and were about to completely crush the "Line of Return to Nothingness".
The dark red "line" suddenly burst into flames.
"Crack!"
A sound as if the rules themselves were shattering.
The dark red light, along with Rahu's almost completely dissipated remnant soul and the nearly extinguished core of the [All Heavens Doomsday Return to Ruins System], suddenly "drilled" into that fleeting rift in a way that transcends conventional dimensional understanding!
Immediately afterwards, the crack disappeared.
The power of the supreme god converged, but only to find nothing. It ground the last remnants of the completely collapsed "Sandbox-9-Ω" universe into the most basic and meaningless information flow.
The cold observation, after a virtually non-existent "delay," finally speaks:
“Sandbox-9-Ω, observation encounters high-intensity rule resistance.”
"The target individual and the 'rule-level items' it carries exhibit extremely high rule-contamination, conceptual erosion, and ultimate escape capabilities."
"The ultimate goal is to use the concept of 'return to nothingness' to create a rift in the world barrier and break away, at the cost of the annihilation of the self-concept."
"Escape direction: unknown sub-dimensional; tracking signal lost outside the barrier."
“Data on the ‘Return to Ruins’ concept has been partially captured.”
"The structure of the universe has completely collapsed and is beyond repair; therefore, it shall be eliminated."
"Continue to the next observation sequence."
The gaze of the supreme deity remained completely unmoved, calmly recording the event triggered by this [rule-level item].
Earth-1218 parallel universe.
In an inconspicuous corner coffee shop on Earth, a young man dressed in ordinary casual clothes, who looks like he has just finished his morning run, is leisurely sipping a cup of Americano.
A recent issue of Science magazine lay open in front of him, but his gaze was clearly not focused on the profound papers; instead, it carried a detached, observational interest in the world.
His name is Zhou Zhe, a soul that theoretically shouldn't exist in this universe.
At this moment, a notification sound, quite in tune with his personality, carrying a hint of laziness and a synthesized electronic quality, slowly rang out in his mind:
[Ding, routine scan complete. The physical constants of this universe are stable, the timeline perturbation is less than 0.0001%, and there are no abnormal high-energy reactions within the observable range.]
[Current host safety level: Green. It is recommended to maintain the current low-interaction observation mode. Data collection progress for this quarter's 'Civilization Diversity Observation Report': 87%.]
Zhou Zhe silently hummed in response.
His "Observation and Recording System of Civilizations in the Heavens" is a perfect match for him, a former office worker and amateur history enthusiast.
It doesn't force missions or involve fighting; its function is to assist him in safely infiltrating different worlds, recording and analyzing the forms, histories, technologies, and cultures of various civilizations, and then generating detailed "observation reports."
The system rewards reports based on their value, usually through knowledge sharing, minor adjustments to physical condition, or small tools that facilitate observation.
For Zhou Zhe, this was practically a publicly funded, indefinite vacation, and to a different world at that—it was incredibly enjoyable.
This Marvel Universe is just one of many.
Just as he was planning to record the "evolution of superhero social influence," the lazy system notification sound changed slightly.
[Warning: High-dimensional, super-conceptual-level information scanning fluctuations detected.]
[Matching failed in database analysis of fluctuation source.]
[Performed rule-level feature comparison. Comparison complete.]
[Characteristics: Current world concept aggregation (likely plural).]
[Judgment: The host and this system have entered the aforementioned entity's joint observation network, and the scanning behavior carries a clear intent to collect information, identify individuals, and exert potential control.]
[Overall Assessment: The current observation level has exceeded the tolerance limit; the risk of continued exposure is high and will increase sharply over time.]
[Please confirm: Do you wish to immediately activate the emergency escape protocol and leave the current world (Marvel Multiverse - Earth-1218)?]
Zhou Zhe paused slightly in his coffee cup, raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but unexpectedly, there was not much fear, but more curiosity.
"Oh?"
He responded with great interest in his mind.
"The Eternal Them? They've observed us? That's interesting."
"By the way, System, how did you manage to detect this? The Eternals are incredibly powerful."
The system's voice regained its flat, electronic synthesized quality, but the content carried an almost self-righteous pride:
[Host, this system's stealth capabilities can evade most detection methods across the myriad realms. Although the source of the current scanning fluctuation has an extremely high energy level and special permissions, it is still unable to locate this system.]
Zhou Zhe nodded, with an "I see" expression, but then a smile appeared on his face:
"Then why were we still discovered?"
The system was silent for a moment; this was indeed a problem.
[Exploring other parallel universes within the Marvel universe. Scanning in progress. Scan complete.]
[Other Marvel universes have also been detected being explored.]
[Analysis in progress. Analysis complete. There is a 97.8% probability that the observation was not initiated directly against the host or this system.]
[Speculation: In other branches or timelines of the Marvel multiverse, other 'abnormal entities' and their 'rule-level items' may have been discovered by the aforementioned entities.]
In short, host, we have likely been caught in the crossfire.
"So that's how it is."
Zhou Zhe put down his coffee cup, sighed softly, and looked somewhat amused and exasperated.
"What an unexpected disaster!"
He wasn't too resentful. In the myriad realms, anything can happen, and being implicated is perfectly normal.
He was just a little disappointed that the report on the universe wasn't finished yet.
However, he also had a question.
"By the way, why don't you just block the observation of the entire Marvel Universe? Or interfere with it so they can't see us?"
"According to you, your technical level is higher than theirs, so temporarily blocking a scan of a single universe shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Zhou Zhe asked, somewhat puzzled.
This time, the system remained silent for a slightly longer period, seemingly engaged in some complex weighing or retrieval process.
Then, the tablet's electronic voice sounded again, its tone still flat, but the content made Zhou Zhe blink:
[Answer to host: Theoretically feasible. Activating 'full-band information blocking' can completely block or mislead such scans within the current universe for a certain period of time.]
However, this operation will consume a large amount of reserve energy.
The initial task protocol for this system is 'observation and recording,' based on the principles of 'minimal intervention' and 'maximum efficiency concealment.' In previous tasks, the probability of encountering such events was less than 0.001%.
Proactive large-scale blocking does not conform to the principle of optimal efficiency and may bring unnecessary risks.
However, based on this incident, the system logic has been adaptively adjusted.
[When traveling to new worlds with similar 'high-privilege active observation entities' in the future, this system will prioritize activating the 'world-level information fog' function upon initial entry, before the host performs observation tasks.]
This function will create a continuous rule confusion field around the system and the host without actively interfering with the internal operation of the world, greatly reducing the probability of being directly marked by such wide-area scans.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhe couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This system remains as "rational" and "averse to trouble" as ever, but it is quick to upgrade protocols when it matters most.
"Alright, looks like I was too comfortable before."
"So what do we do now? Just leave?"
He shrugged, preparing to leave in a very nonchalant manner.
Yes, host, it is recommended to activate the emergency escape protocol immediately.
The current scanning intensity is still increasing and showing a focusing trend, raising the risk of continued lingering.
The launch protocol will consume a standard amount of energy with no additional risk; the target teleport coordinates have been randomly generated according to a security protocol to ensure that the target stays outside the current world cluster.
[Confirm execution?]
"Confirm execution".
Zhou Zhe didn't hesitate at all; he was even somewhat looking forward to seeing what the next unknown civilization would be like.
The next second, there were no lighting effects or spatial fluctuations.
People came and went in the coffee shop, and no one noticed the Asian youth in the corner. His half-empty cup of coffee had vanished, as if it had never existed.
