122. The End of 'Reality'.

The entire dimension was shaking violently, but that wasn't the worst of it. For those present, the things being sent here from reality were the real danger. This place was originally the gap between reality and the mirror dimension. But now, this gap had become a 'buffer zone' as reality split apart, becoming the most violently impacted area between dimensions.

The new reality would split from the original reality, operating independently as a new parallel universe. However, the original reality would collide with its mirror dimension, turning into mere dust in the infinite multiverse. Everything from reality was being duplicated. Tragically, those who retained their memories, the 'originals,' were mercilessly thrown into the fire, while the duplicates, without any memories, lived in the new reality. They didn't even know they were duplicates!

The gap in reality had become a massive junkyard, receiving everything duplicated from reality—whether living beings, corpses, buildings, or natural landscapes. All of these would violently crash into this dimension and ultimately be annihilated into nothingness when the collision with the mirror dimension completed.

"Alex deceived us!" Karolina's eyes widened in disbelief as she witnessed the scene before her. She saw Avengers Tower, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier falling from the sky, and countless ordinary people discarded by reality.

"He's destroying our reality! He never intended to save us. His goal is to destroy this place! He's in league with that thing. They slaughtered superheroes and supervillains. Now, no one can stop him."

"Shut up!" Pietro stepped forward, glaring angrily at Karolina. "Is there any hope for your world to be saved? Your reality is already corrupted. It's better to destroy it than let you all go mad!"

If any reality didn't deserve saving, Pietro had the right to say so. After all, he came from a despairing universe sunk into ruins. Now, this place was becoming a part of the twisted reality. Pietro didn't want to see this universe sink further. He couldn't let anyone sully Alex's name.

"So you admit it. You're here to destroy us," Karolina faced Pietro without fear, her body radiating a huge rainbow-colored glow.

"Don't move, little girl," John said coldly. "Don't forget who healed your injuries. I could easily leave something in you without you knowing."

"You!" Karolina instinctively found it hard to breathe.

"I don't know much black magic, but one I'm very good at is called 'Wind of Calamity.' It happens to destroy regenerative cells, even for aliens like you." John stood firmly beside Pietro.

"You think you can survive?" Karolina's eyes were now filled with madness. "You were also polluted when you saved me, one of the deepest contaminations. Do you think they will take you away?"

"What?" Pietro turned to look at John in shock.

John, however, only pulled out a sinister smile. He laughed heartily, as if he hadn't been this happy in centuries.

"You think my goal is to survive? You're right, I was polluted, something even Alex didn't notice. He still thinks I'm under his protection. But do you know why I remain rational? You can alter my perception, but you can't change who I am!"

"You!" Karolina's mouth fell open as she suddenly realized something.

"You're Dracula!"

"Haha... Hahahahaha!"

John—no, Dracula—laughed wildly. He floated in the air, gazing directly at the cracks tearing apart reality. Behind him, countless building ruins fell from the gaps, with the cries and screams of ordinary people filling the scene like a world-ending disaster.

High in the sky, above the dimensional layers, an unprecedented light shone through, piercing the barrier between reality and the mirror world, attracting everyone's attention.

In the sky, countless terrifying cracks crisscrossed, like a spider web, forming a complex network of fissures.

Everything was becoming clear.

A hidden new world in the dimensional layers was emerging under the influence of three supreme forces. It was separating from the original reality at a visible speed, quickly moving away from this corrupted world.

In the Punisher's eyes, he could clearly see the world beyond the sky. There, everything was at peace. Spider-Man was patrolling the streets of New York. Captain America, Sam Wilson, was giving a significant speech at the United Nations. X-Men students were leaving school, mutant kids playing in the playground. Everything was orderly. They had no memory of the other side of reality. No one knew that on their opposite side, the 'original' world was collapsing into destruction.

A cocoon-like creature stretched its tendrils from the cracks, trying to follow the sunlight up. It didn't want to perish with this abandoned world. It would fight desperately to shift its 'gaze' to the new, thriving world.

But!

At that moment, pitch-black clouds covered everyone's heads. No, they weren't clouds but something darker and more incomprehensible. It blocked all light from beyond the dimensions and severed the last connection between the new world and here.

It seemed to come from a world beyond dimensions, with an unbeatable terrifying power, cutting off all attempts to observe the new world. The immense darkness covered the gap in reality, blocking out the sun. Or rather, it was like a wall standing between two realities, preventing any existence from crossing!

Below, on New York Avenue.

Dracula continued laughing, mocking the presence hidden in Karolina's mind. The Punisher had long lost the will to fight, squinting to see the source of the darkness. Finally, he saw, in the colorful, intertwined sky, one mechanical skeleton after another hidden in the dark curtain. It looked eerily familiar, like the frame of an umbrella opening up!

"It's you!" Moon Knight shouted.

He noticed the poker cards he had just torn apart, now burning with ghostly green flames, resonating with the surrounding light and shadows.

"You did it on purpose!

You handed me the key to tearing apart reality!

You knew I would be polluted!

You knew I would tear the poker cards apart!

You... saw the future!?"

At this moment, everything came to a halt.

The falling buildings, the crying people, the disasters everywhere, all seemed to be paused. Then, above the clouds, an enormous, metallic bird-beak mask slowly emerged, descending upon the world like a god, watching the hellish scene below without emotion. The terrifying pressure made it hard for everyone to breathe.

"From now on, this timeline..."

A voice, as if echoing in their souls, sounded.

"... is under my control."
