Ultraman Noah from Marvel

Chapter 220. Infiltrating the Cancerous Universe

Chapter 220. Infiltrating the Cancerous Universe

The cancerous universe, as its name suggests, is the cancer of the universe.

It will spread throughout the universe like cancer, assimilating all energy, matter, rules, and even concepts into its own part, eventually devouring all reality.

The cancerous universe would become a life-like entity, endlessly devouring the universe, but due to the existence of the Web of Life and the Web of Fate, it would be difficult to achieve this.

When the connection between the web of life and the web of destiny and the universe is severed, that universe will become a rootless duckweed among countless universes.

Difficult to find, and difficult to hack.

This is one of the reasons why the ancient gods, such as Nyarlathotep, created this structure, so that changes could be made at crucial moments.

Therefore, the Outer Gods of the cancerous universe mostly rely on luck to find other universes, or on the fact that they are mirror universes themselves, seeking connections between heroes through some mysterious link, and then invading other universes through the great rift in the cosmic barrier.

In short, it's extremely troublesome. It's troublesome for them to hack in, and even more troublesome for others to find out.

At this moment, Ji Yuan was moving rapidly through the universe with Zero, and countless universes passed by like bubbles.

Zero looked at each universe with curiosity; the structure of this dimension's universe was very different from that of the Ultra Dimension.

The biggest difference is the mesh structure, which he thinks is really convenient and can play a huge role in both resisting foreign enemies and helping each other.

At this point, Zero had already considered creating such a structure in the Ultra Dimension, which would greatly improve his ability to deal with those races that attempted to destroy the universe.

Ji Yuan saw through Zero's thoughts and asked, "You want to use this structure to connect different universes in the Ultra Dimension?"

Zero nodded: "I think this will greatly improve Ultraman's efficiency in protecting the universe. A long time ago, I traveled to other universes in the Ultra Dimension. If I hadn't received a gift from another Noah in that universe, I probably wouldn't have been able to return."

"Just like this time, if I hadn't met you, senior, I wouldn't have been able to go back, and I might have died here."

Zero was deeply moved, realizing that he had received so much help from Noah in every universe.

"This problem is not difficult to solve. You can explain the basic structure of this Web of Life to Hikari, and then give him the statue. He will naturally understand what to do."

Ji Yuan remained calm. He had long anticipated that Zero would have something to say. The stone statue not only contained his will but also some information about the rules of the Marvel Universe.

He had great faith in Hikari's research capabilities; after all, Hikari was known as the "cheat code wholesaler" and the great inventor of the Ultra Dimension.

"So you had already thought of that?"

Sai Luo's admiration for Ji Yuan increased even further.

Ji Yuan smiled but remained silent.

"You—you seem to know me very well, and you seem to know a lot about the Land of Light, but you said you're not Noah from the Ultra Dimension?"

Zero had been puzzled by this for a long time, and only now did he take this opportunity to ask.

Ji Yuan didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "You should be familiar with human mythology, right?"

Zero nodded: "Human mythology is indeed extremely magnificent; it's hard to believe that they have such imagination."

"That's right. The name Noah appears in many mythologies. Noah represents not just Ultraman, but hope. Where there is hope, there is light; where there is light, there is Noah. Do you understand?"

Zero was completely confused, but he wrote down the sentence: "I'll remember it and try to understand it later."

Ji Yuan shook his head. A military general is a military general. His meaning was simple: Noah could appear in any universe and choose an existence he approved of to transform into Ultraman. If a universe didn't have one, then it was time to dispose of the body.

The two chatted as they traveled, and soon a strange place appeared before them.

The universe is like a bubble, while the multiverse is like an ocean, with vast, empty spaces between universes.

Ji Yuan and Zero did not use the Web of Life to increase their speed, but instead traveled through space using their physical bodies, in order not to alert the enemy.

At this moment, they have arrived in the cosmic space where the cancerous universe exists.

Here, outer space becomes extremely bizarre.

The space here whispers, a language that doesn't belong to any living being, as if expounding the truth of the universe, or as if opening up wisdom for people.

This is a space that has been corrupted by Outer Gods, and it has almost acquired the concept of life.

The pollution from Outer Gods is so terrifying that even concepts themselves can be corrupted, becoming a distorted state that is neither fully alive nor fully alive. In short, these Outer Gods represent chaos and disorder, and are inherently hostile to orderly life, with no possibility of reconciliation.

"Senior Ji Yuan, shall we just charge in? I can't wait to wipe out those evil gods!"

In the blink of an eye, Zero had already donned the Shield of Paragi, holding the longsword that the Shield of Paragi had transformed into in his right hand, and the Spark Tower that Ji Yuan had given him in his left hand. His body was emitting specks of golden light, clearly indicating that he was about to activate his advanced form.

"Wait!" Ji Yuan quickly called out, "The cancerous universe is beyond saving, but the people inside might not be. We need to rescue them first, and then make further plans."

Zero was utterly shocked: "There are still life forms in the cancerous universe that can't be assimilated? That's unbelievable. Am I supposed to attract the attention of those monsters?"

To be honest, Ji Yuan wasn't entirely sure either. He wasn't sure if this cancerous universe was invaded and its life forms were corrupted and degenerated, or if it was an outer god that conceived the core from the very beginning of the universe and then mirrored the history of another universe.

If it's the former, then there's a high probability that someone still retains self-awareness; if it's the latter, then there's no hope.

The cancerous universe is different from the ruined universe.

The Ruins Universe is an alternate timeline created by the Eye Demon manipulating the timeline and spreading pollution. It can be restored by correcting the disorder.

In the case of the cancerous universe, an Outer God directly intervenes, polluting the entire universe and even corrupting time. Naturally, there is no such thing as returning to the original state. All that can be done is to rescue any possible survivors and then destroy the universe.

Ji Yuan's eyes shone as he looked at the polluted outer space: "We need to infiltrate the universe. Too much movement will alert the Outer Gods."

After saying that, he didn't turn his head. Zero's body slowly changed, eventually becoming a strange energy, the same kind of energy as the alienated universe energy.

"Oh! This is incredible!"

In Zero's perception, his body had not changed at all, but outwardly, he had become part of the Outer God's corruption.

"Very good, that works." Ji Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then transformed into a stream of energy.

He then led Zero into the direction of the cancerous universe.
