Chapter 156 : Iron Man: What about me?

[Countless splendid galaxies crumble within Ultron's maw, and the stars, too dazzling for mortals' direct gaze, become less significant than a grain of sand!"

[In the end, amidst an extraordinarily brilliant light, everything succumbs to Ultron's devouring maw!!)

[This marks the conclusion of a Marvel universe oblivious to enumeration!)

A single universe in one gulp—could the exaggeration be any more audacious!?

Beyond the screen, countless viewers feel powerless, their thoughts frozen in place!

As Ultron parts his metallic jaws, an illusion sweeps over everyone, as if they might be swallowed whole in an instant!

X-Men World!

Numerous mutants fall into a contemplative silence!

While cosmic battles rage on, they fight tenaciously for survival on a solitary piece of Earth.

And, if your guess is accurate, the universe you and others inhabit is also one thread in the vast Marvel multiverse.

In other words, in the days to come, your world may face destruction at any moment!

Yet, there is no means of resistance!

You find yourselves akin to ordinary people, praying to the gods to stave off impending calamity!

[In the void, the Watcher breaches the cosmic barrier, settling on a planet!]

[Ultron swiftly follows suit; with the space gem restraining his adversary, his hands alight with purple brilliance deliver a thunderous blow!)

[Boom!!)

[Ultron hammers the Watcher's face with a punch!)

[Not only does the space fail to tremble and shatter, but more terrifyingly, the barriers of the multiverse continue to crumble!)

[Dozens of punches alter the battlefield, shifting between dozens of universes!)

Offscreen, innumerable viewers are driven to madness!

This undeniably stands as the most exaggerated battle in the realm of any video!!

The immeasurable boundaries of the multiverse, invisible to the eye, prove as fragile as glass before these two combatants!

[Boom!!)

[Amidst the countless fragments of bursting purple, Ultron hurls the Watcher into the frozen ground, frozen for hundreds of millions of years!)

[Ultron's form ascends leisurely, the energy from the six Infinity Gems blending into crimson, enshrouding his right arm!)

[He passes the final judgment upon the Watcher!]

["I did not evolve under constraints!"

["And now, you are the constraint!!)

[The death sentence declared, the Watcher lies motionless, gradually drawn towards Ultron!)

(In the crimson glow, Ultron's right hand, with its five fingers, gradually opens, squeezing the Watcher's brain, incrementally intensifying the force!"

[The Watcher let out a howl of pain, and the brain displayed dense golden cracks!]

[Around Ultron's palm, the space, unable to withstand the annihilating power, reveals cosmic barriers that shatter into cobwebs!)

["What!!!]

[Amidst the shadow of impending death, the Watcher unleashes his full potential!]

[Suddenly, golden energy bursts forth from his body like lightning, the Watcher struggles against the confinement, delivering a punch to Ultron's arm!)

[In the next moment, the Watcher pierces the universe's barrier and escapes!)

[Ultron attempts pursuit but realizes he cannot perceive the other in any multiverse!)

Offscreen, the Watcher sighs!

Never did he think he'd flee like a lost dog!

Had it not been for Strange's pocket universe, he would surely have perished at Ultron's hands!!

Marvel World!

Ancient One fell into contemplation!

She couldn't fathom why the Six-Gem Ultron wielded such power!

Moreover, why did the concealed gods remain inactive?

Like Vishanti, like the five god-tier beings! Perhaps even higher!!!

Ancient One slowly raises her head, eyes burning brightly!

Perhaps the entirety of the Marvel Multiverse is far more intricate than depicted in the videos!

In the DC world, God remains silent too!

The next moment, he gazes into the boundless void until his vision is obstructed by a wall!

Countless beings hang on it, some even mightier than his son Lucifer!

He's acquainted with a portion of that wall!

Nevertheless, he can't help but wonder, beyond that ultimate barrier, what lies?

[In the pocket universe, Strange emerges from the shadows.]

[Countless years have elapsed since the universe's demise, yet he remains confined by choice.]

[By now, the Watcher's head has undergone some repair; he raises his head and eyes Strange.]

["I had no alternative. That entity left me no choice."

[Strange refrains from inquiring why but joyfully remarks 

["So, are you breaking your oath?")

[The Watcher grows a bit irritated and angry:

["Must you remind me!?" 

[Strange raises an eyebrow:]

["Absolutely!")]

(At the onset, the Watcher vowed not to meddle in reality, refusing pleas for assistance. He relished the prospect of the other party breaking their oath!

[Suppressing a violent gasp, the Watcher helplessly turned to Strange and uttered:

["Reluctantly, I need your help!")

[There's no other option; he must harness the power of the multiverse to confront Ultron!!)

[At this juncture, the Watcher reneged on his oath and transformed into an interloper!!)

Off-camera, the Watcher paid no mind to Strange's slight reprisal but found himself entangled!

If I refrain from breaking my oath and intervening, will the future in the video unfold as always?

He dreaded that, at that moment, the success of any Ultron in the multiverse could unfold a terrifying tableau before him!

[Abandoning the oath, the Watcher was no longer timorous!)

[He identified all the unique variables across each multiverse!"

(which includes)

[Star-Lord T'Challa!"

Wakanda's Black Panther was taken aback!

And aboard the Predator spaceship, Quill shrugged, utterly unfazed:

"Anyone who wants this ridiculous identity can have it; I won't be a comical character in the future, that's for sure!!

Yondu patted Quill on the shoulder and conveyed a brutal truth:

"Son, you've misunderstood; it's not your identity that's foolish."

Quill mulled it over for a few seconds before registering, suddenly gaping in disbelief!

He urgently turned to Claglin beside him, seeking a lifeline, hoping that Yondu's words were misconstrued…

The latter, however, merely shrugged and elucidated:

"What the captain means is that Star-Lord might not be Quill, but Dobby will always be Dobby!"

"Give it up, Quill, you're defeated,

Just as Quill found himself at a dead end, other characters - emerged!

"Captain America Peggy Carter!"

[Destroyer Gamora!!)

[Black Widow]

[Eric Killmonger!]

(And Thor !)

In Asgard, Thor breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment ago, he almost thought Loki would become Thor or even transform into a woman.

Fortunately, though Thor seemed slightly offbeat on screen, he remained himself after all!

"What!!!]

[With Thor's exclamation akin to a little girl, all the chosen ones materialized in a bar!!)

Off-screen, Tony's visage bore a cluster of question marks??

"And what about me?

Where's my esteemed world savior, Iron Man Tony Stark!!?

Why isn't the Watcher noticing me!

Blind eyes!

Or is it only when I'm gone!!?

At this moment, he had completely erased the thought of his future demise. He crossed his arms over his chest, snorted coldly, and turned his head away in a Tsundere manner!

What a messed-up video, don't bother watching it!
