chapter 60
… Miles Morales P.O.V
"Gwen, here!" I looked back to see Peter waving his head at Gwen. Dr. Octopus also noticed that and attacked Peter by wrapping him in her many hands.
'I need to help him.' I thought before swinging toward them. No one noticed me yet due to my invisible state. I leaned back to avoid her swinging arms and got into her personal range before kicking her in the ribs.
Somehow, the hands learned of my presence as soon as I attacked her and put themselves between her and me to protect her frail body. I kept attacking them trying to find a loose end in their defenses before the confusion died down. I finally found it and took advantage of it by dodging a few wild octopus swings and attacking her from her blind spot.
She was disoriented by the attack and I wasted no time pulling her by her hair and throwing her with all that i got into the opposing direction. My invisibility deactivated during that as my focus shifted.
"MILES!!!" Peter cheered coming close.
"Look at you; you can do it on command now. Now come on, let's stop this before it gets out of control," He pointed at the inter-dimensional machine that started all of this.
…narrator p.o.v
"If you guys are done with reunion, I could use some help here." Their attention shifted on Pani Parker as she cried out. She was trying to dodge as both the scorpion and Wilson Wisk's henchman were after her and her robot.
"Let's go," Peter said before getting into the fight once again. Miles followed right behind.
"It's good that you are here. I had a feeling that you could do it, you just needed a push." Gwen said, swinging beside them as they attacked from three sides.
"Thank you guys for believing in me." Miles replied a bit touched by the gesture.
"Yeah yeah, enough with your melodrama." Spider-ham waved his hand a bit embarrassed with the wholesome stuff.
"Since Miles came late, let us rehearse the plan once more. We will take care of all the bad people until the machine properly connects with our worlds. Once it gets connected, everyone returns to their home and … Miles then puts this chip to stop the machine for good. Clear?" Peter asked, punching the scorpion in the face before Gwen landed on his back that probably broke a few bones.
""Crystal"" Everyone replied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As everyone was getting ready to give it their all in the fight, the machine started misbehaving. It let out a large rumble that attracted everyone's attraction.
"What's happening?" Wilson screamed at his employees as they ran from one computer to another.
"We do not know sir. It was supposed to not behave in this way.. unless" A man in white coats tried to calm Wilson down.
"Unless what?" Saliva sprayed on the man's face as Wilson lifted him up close with a single hand.
"Unless... Gulp there is an external variable interfering with the machine that we have not yet accounted for." The looked fearfully at the portal which from a few seconds ago had started to release shock waves in fixed intervals.
Miles and his friends tried to reach close to the portal once they realized that it was malfunctioning but the shock waves flung them back as soon as they reached close to it.
"We need to close the portal as soon as possible, sir lest our dimension ends up colliding with neighboring dimensions." The man hastily said once Wilson released him from his hold.
"That's not possible." One of the lab assistants looking at the readings of the portal dejectedly muttered. Everyone including Wilson glanced at him.
"I am afraid the portal is not in our control now. It has stopped using the energy core to operate itself which means that it is getting the power to sustain itself from the other side of the portal." He pointed at the monitor behind him that was proving what he said. Even though Wilson could not tell what the statistics displayed on the monitor meant , But from the dark look on the scientists he could tell that it was not anything good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is not looking good." Peter muttered looking at the portal before he glanced into the control room where he found Wilson too looking at the portal with a blank look on his face.
The villains had decided to flee from harm's way as soon as the portal started to misbehave, giving team spider ample time to take a breather.
"Indeed, it feels like the calm before the storm." Spider-piggy muttered in a surprisingly serious tone.
"We gotta stop this before we end up finding ourselves in unknown territory." Black and white spider announced while re-filling his web fluids.
"But how, we tried it already, didn't we? As soon as we get close to it, the periodic shock waves send us flying back even farther." Gwen pointed at the portal.
Before they could say anything else the portal suddenly expanded twice its original size. A 10 meter purple coloured humanoid came flying out of it and crashed on the opposite side of the portal into a solid-titanium wall. As soon as it came out of the portal, every spider's spider sense started to sound at full volume.
The being looked like a giant purple coloured human but the similarities ended right then. His whole body was made up of saturated energy and his skin was semi-transparent that showed nebulas, black holes and galaxies inside of his body.
The being discarded their presence as he stood up and stared at the portal. He screamed in unadulterated anger and fury as a powerful energy blast was released from his mouth at the portal.
Everyone just kept staring with shocked eyes as it happened. None among them was foolish enough to not realize that the purple giant was not to mess with. Their instincts were screaming at them to bow before this being in fear and reverence.
The beam did not reach the portal. As soon as it reached 10 meters of distance from it, it ended up colliding with some force that stopped it from moving an inch further.
The energy did not dispersed but instead ended up condensing into a tiny ball.
**Play befall from honkai impact 3rd**
The energy ball wavered back and forth a few inches before as if pulled by some force floated toward the portal.
As everyone's attention shifted to the portal, Kar-el slowly walked out of it stepping off the air with his cape fluttering behind him giving him a majestic look.

Miles P.O.V
I had finally succeeded in controlling my powers and things were turning for the better as we were gaining ground against the villains but then things started spilling out of control. The portal started to misbehave before we knew it and then he appeared.
I never felt so insignificant in my whole life as I did in his presence. He looked ungodly with his body made out of cosmos. His body was tinged in purple shade.
It did not even acknowledge our presence and rightfully so. We were probably not even ants in his world-view. Is that how it feels to be in the presence of a god? There are not enough words in my dictionary to describe this feeling that I am feeling now.
"We have failed, guys. The apocalypse is upon us." Peter muttered beside me with a blank tone in his voice. Everyone seemed to accept it including me deep in our hearts.
'I am sorry, Mom and dad. Your son could not protect you.' Just when all hope looked lost, the energy blast fired by the being stopped dead in place and then started to condensed into a tennis sized ball.
'That ball must have enough energy inside it to destroy half of the continent.' I was sure of it. The ball then floated away into the portal and another being emerged out of the portal.
Unlike the being from before, he looked like a normal human as he slowly walked on the air outside of the portal.
He looked to be in early 20s by human standards. His presence somehow defused the stifling presence of the purple coloured being. The fear that had caged our senses shattered and we stopped feeling completely submissive to the purple giant.
The energy ball from before was floating in circles around him as if it was compelled by gravity. As he slowly walked closer, his cape fluttered behind him.
Tik tok tik tok
The sound of his footsteps echoed in silence as no one tried to move an inch. Not even the giant. He glanced around and as soon as his eyes fell on me, it felt as if everything that made me who I am was laid bare before him.
It felt as if I was in the presence of a monarch.
Thankfully it was just a fleeting glance. His eyes stopped on the giant.
"148 years, 20 days,3 hours and 15 minutes. That's how long we have clashed against each other in the void and now is the time when you realize that you should not have messed with me?" He tilted his face as he expressionlessly glared at the Giant.
"Do you expect me to let you go, Entropy?" A thousand thunderclaps buzzed in my mind as he expressed his anger at the being now known as Entropy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is but a fleeting moment for you and me.", Entropy finally decided to speak.
"Do not regard me as your siblings that are bored enough to spend eons playing with you. Actions have consequences.", Kar-el raised his left hand perpendicularly to himself and a scythe materialized in thin air that he grabbed on to.
"You wished to swallow the personification of laws that govern this very universe so it is appropriate for you to face its judgment." Kar-el vanished from where he stood and appeared above Entropy's physical manifestation.
He swung the scythe named Judgment on Entropy. Entropy tried to dodge but found himself paralyzed as the blade of the scythe came ever closer to his chest. The space around them shattered as both of their authorities clashed. Sadly, Entropy found himself helpless as his authority melted into thin air against the personification of Laws.
The scythe entered his body from his solar pelvis and he lost control of his body completely.
"While you cannot be killed due to the grace of your father, you shall still be punished nonetheless. You shall be trapped into a mortal form and reincarnate every time you die until I feel that your punishment has ended." Kar-el announced. The blade of the scythe glowed and slowly the glow started to cover the body of entropy.
Once it fully covered his body, a bright light flashed and once the light receded, entropy had disappeared.
