Facing Bora's ridicule, Karn said nothing and simply sat back down calmly.
Only after Bora finished her ridicule did Morlun feign a gesture to stop her: "Alright, Karn is also contributing to our family. No one is allowed to mention those past events again. We must always remember, we are one family!"
As the current leader and the strongest among them, when Morlun spoke, Bora naturally didn't dare say more, only turning her head away in disdain.
Seeing everyone quiet down, Morlun continued:
"Since Karn has voluntarily taken the first part, let's talk about the second part. I need someone to go to the Universe this special spider is currently traversing. After he leaves, interrogate him in that Universe for the secret of how he travels through the multiverse!"
At this moment, Brix, also in red clothes with white hair but male, scrambled to raise his hand: "Hehe, I can take this mission. But I have a question: can I eat the Spider-Man of that Universe while I'm at it?"
Morlun glanced at him and said indifferently, "You may."
Hearing this, Brix sat back with a satisfied expression.
Enjoying a Spider-Man all to himself—just thinking about it was wonderful!
Then, Morlun's gaze swept over the other clansmen besides Karn and Brix:
"Next is the most important third part. The rest of you will come with me to various parallel Universes to hunt ordinary Spider-Men. First, we will restore the power we consumed during our slumber, and then... resurrect our patriarch, 'Solus'!"
Most had no objection, but one gaunt Inheritor, Jennix, asked:
"Morlun, are you sure that if we go hunting Spider-Men in the multiverse again, we won't be hunted by the TVA once more?"
"You should know that our patriarch Solus was heavily injured by Kang precisely because he underestimated the TVA. Now that our strength is greatly diminished and Solus is in a deep slumber, if we encounter an existence like Kang again..."
Facing this question, Morlun didn't wait for him to finish. He raised his hand to stop him and looked toward the sky with a mysterious gaze, slowly saying:
"I am certain no such existence will interfere. Upon this awakening, besides that dangerous mysterious spider, I actually sensed another very special presence..."
"He is the new king who replaced Kang, but this new king is far too naive..."
"He is omniscient, yet lacks the corresponding omnipotence. He can see everything but is trapped upon the throne. He... hehe, he can change nothing right now!"
"Am I right?"
Morlun seemed to be asking the other family members with that last sentence, but clearly, he was actually asking Loki, whose gaze was fixed on this place.
Morlun obviously had some special means to sense existences that others could not perceive.
Loki at the end of time heard Morlun's provocative words, but his expression remained as calm as a still well, showing no signs of impotent rage.
Just as Morlun said, he was trapped within the timeline. Although he could see everything, he could not personally change anything. That was true... but... he was still a Master of Time, the God of Stories. How could he not have any power of his own?
Loki's lips curled up: "Morlun, the Inheritor, is it? You want to destroy the multiverse under my rule? Let's see if you're qualified..."
"Coincidentally, a while ago, the TVA recruited two interesting new members. Let's have them go and play with you..."
After muttering, Loki had a thought. Beneath the Timeline World Tree, two figures—one red and one yellow—suddenly appeared...
They were...
"Thanos..."
"He's coming!"
Following Captain America's words, the Avengers in front of the Quantum Tunnel Machine stood ready, except for Ryan, whose whereabouts were unknown.
After a unanimous vote, the Avengers were ready to eliminate the threat that was Thanos!
Seeing that everyone was ready, Captain America pressed the button to open the quantum tunnel!
As blue light swirled in the quantum tunnel, a mothership emerged from it, growing from small to large as if it had been prepared long ago, soaring into the sky!
Immediately after, Thanos's massive Sanctuary II hovered over the Avengers Base like a dark cloud!
Seeing this, the Avengers' hearts sank. They thought to themselves: as expected, Thanos had already prepared an army and was just waiting for the quantum tunnel to open!
Fortunately, they were prepared to deal with the warship!
Inside Sanctuary II, Thanos looked down at the Avengers Base and didn't hesitate for a moment. Just as Captain America had predicted, he waved his hand and ordered the warship's cannons to level the ground.
The massive Sanctuary II immediately opened its gun ports, aiming at the Avengers Base below.
With the firepower of Sanctuary II, a single volley would be enough to level this building, which had one of the highest levels of protection in the World!
But before the warship could fire at the ground-based Avengers Base, its automatic defense mechanisms suddenly activated. All the gun ports turned and automatically pointed higher into the sky!
Inside the warship, Thanos frowned at this and asked Corvus Glaive, the ship's commander, "What's happening?"
Standing before the console, Corvus Glaive looked astonished and said urgently, "My Lord, there is a high-energy signature above the warship, and it is approaching us at an extremely high speed, triggering the ship's automatic defense system!"
"The high-energy signature is approaching rapidly! There's no time to activate the anti-aircraft guns. Impact in 3... 2... 1!"
Boom!
Almost at the same moment Ebony Maw's countdown finished the final second, the entire giant warship, which was like a small city, shook violently!
It was as if a meteor had struck the warship!
And the reality was much the same. A tall, silver-gray figure holding twin axes, covered in sparks from high-speed friction, crashed onto Sanctuary II like a meteor!
This was, of course, Ryan, who had not been in the Avengers lineup below!
He had been waiting in mid-air with his axes for a long time!
As soon as Thanos's warship appeared, he dropped down boldly, crashing directly into the ship with absolute power!
After crashing into the warship, Ryan didn't stop. He first threw the cumbersome twin axes to the left and right, letting them automatically lock onto and clear out the fodder.
To be honest, although Ares's twin axes gave Ryan the ability to fly—which he previously lacked—he really wasn't used to using axes in combat.
After all, he was used to the Riot symbiote's mimetic weapons that could change at will. Using heavy, unchangeable giant axes felt cumbersome to him...
So, without the axes, Ryan became even more terrifying than when he held the divine weapon. Inside the warship, he was like Saitama from One Punch Man breaking into Boros's ship—none could withstand a single blow!
Along the way, with every punch Ryan threw, whether it was the Stary army or Thanos's bio-weapon army, they all exploded into a bloody mist!
Moreover, purple lightning coiled around Ryan, and his speed was astonishingly fast. His punches were like light, trailing a long purple shadow through Thanos's warship and causing a series of explosions!
It wasn't until Ryan was about to break into the core command room of the warship that a hammer-axe on a chain flew toward him, and countless metal parts from the surroundings smashed toward him from all directions, finally making Ryan stop!
Thud!
With a dull thud, Ryan caught the flying hammer-axe with one hand and crushed it into a piece of scrap metal with his five fingers!
At the same time, four tentacles with blades at their tips extended from Ryan's back, swirling into an invisible circular cutting wind shield that sliced all the incoming metal parts into atomic dust!
Clang!
After easily dealing with the two incoming attacks, Ryan casually let go of the scrap metal in his hand, letting it hit the floor with a heavy thud.
Ryan's gaze then fell upon the figures walking out of the command room ahead, and he grinned:
"Purple shoehorn face, are you ready for a beating?!"
