Chapter 226: Battle against Thanos, Phoenix Force Disrupts the Situation

Marvel World, Asgard.

Lucas, who brought Thor back here, was warmly received by the God-King Odin. Looking at Thor, the God of Thunder, who was already able to control the divine power in his body, God-King Odin was very satisfied.

Regarding Thor's request to restore Mjolnir to its original state, God-King Odin resolutely stated that this would not work and told Thor that he needed such a strict teacher to urge him to practice.

The kindness of the one-eyed old father moved Thor to tears. He hugged Odin's thigh tenderly and cried until the moved Loki stepped forward and pulled him away.

Odin told Lucas about the situation: "Sorcerer Supreme, I have bad news for you. The mad Titan Thanos has obtained the second Infinity Stone – the Soul Stone, and the Infinity Stones in our hands are his targets."

Lucas was surprised: "Thanos got the Soul Stone? He moves so fast! Who told him about the Soul Stone?"

Odin shook his head and said, "I don't know! When he attacked Asgard a few days ago, there were two Infinity Gems on his Infinity Gauntlet."

Lucas asked unexpectedly, "You fight?"

Odin nodded and said: "Fortunately, I have a Reality Stone in my hand, otherwise I might not be able to fight him. If you want the Reality Stone, I can give it to you now, but you have to make sure to get rid of him immediately."

Lucas laughed: "No problem! You give me the Reality Stone, and I'll kill him. I've been wanting to experience what it's like to have six Infinity Stones in one."

Odin didn't talk nonsense and decisively handed the Reality Stone to Lucas. The fourth Infinity Stone appeared in Lucas's hand, and the powerful force made him eager to find an opponent to compete with.

The space in front of him was torn open. On the opposite side was a dark universe where a huge fleet could be vaguely seen, which was the dark sect led by Thanos.

Thanos, sitting on the floating chair, opened his eyes, looked at Lucas who appeared in front of him and sneered: "You actually came to me? Thank you for collecting all the other four Infinity Stones for me."

Lucas stared at the Soul Stone in Thanos' hands for a while, then said, "You sacrificed your daughter? You're a monster!"

Thanos' expression suddenly froze, and he said slowly: "All of this is for the realization of my ideal, and all of this is for the future of the entire universe. You should not stop me. I am inevitable."

Howard Stark: Group Leader, what do you think of Thanos sacrificing his daughter?

Lucas: In order to get the Soul Stone, you must exchange soul for soul. Only by handing over the soul of the person you love the most can the Soul Stone appear.

Uchiha Madara: In other words, Thanos gave up his beloved in order to realize his ideals? The Group Leader is right, this is indeed a monster.

Lucas: Uchiha Madara, you are far worse than Thanos when it comes to giving and sacrificing for your ideals. Of course, Hashirama is the same. If you were asked to sacrifice your loved ones, you probably wouldn't do it.

Howard Stark: I really didn't expect that this tyrant who deliberately wanted to kill half of the universe's population would have love?

Lucas: In the original future, the daughter who was sacrificed by him also thought so. Because she was not Thanos' biological daughter, but adopted by Thanos. Thanos killed half population of her planet, then he made her his adopted daughter.

Sebastian Shaw: Why does this operation give me a familiar feeling?

Howard Stark: Because you've done the same thing. I don't know what you guys think after killing their parents.

Sebastian Shaw: Because of cherishing talent, because of love, didn't you hear the Group Leader? That adopted daughter is Thanos' love.

Howard Stark: Group Leader, is Thanos treating that adopted daughter as a daughter? I always feel that something is wrong!

Lucas: Howard, what’s your take on Thanos? He’s a man driven by a grand, twisted sense of love—so much so that he doesn’t bother with personal matters like his children’s feelings. Gamora, his adopted daughter whom he sacrificed, saw him as someone completely devoid of love... but in his mind, it was all for a greater purpose.

Uchiha Shisui: Gamora felt that there was no love in Thanos' heart, but when she turned her head, she realized that the love in Thanos' heart was herself. I really don't know what kind of thoughts she would have had.

Gengetsu Hōzuki: It doesn't matter what she thought, she was sacrificed anyway.

Lucas: I suddenly had an idea, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to practice it. At least in this universe, I didn't have the chance to practice it.

Outside world:

Lucas looked at Thanos and asked with a serious face: "Thanos, have you ever thought about letting someone else collect Soul stones for you? For example, tell others how to get Soul stones, and let others sacrifice their loved ones. The gem appears, and then you grab the Soul stone."

Thanos' big indifferent purple face twitched, his eyelids suddenly jumping wildly. Obviously, Lucas's statement concerned him greatly.

Yes indeed!

Soul stones can only appear by exchanging souls for souls, but it doesn't mean that Soul stones can't be taken away by others after they appear! If you let other people sacrifice to get the soul stone, then he can snatch it afterward!

Thanos suddenly felt a twinge of sorrow.

In his excitement back then, he hadn’t even considered another way.

Silently, he began to replay everything in his heart—the thrill of discovering the Soul Stone’s location, followed by the crushing realization of what was required to obtain it. The overwhelming rush of joy and despair had blurred his judgment, leaving him lost in the storm of conflicting emotions.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Lucas narrowed his eyes. "What, are you afraid that if someone else gets the Soul Stone, it’ll give me the chance to take it from them?"

Thanos remained silent, prompting Lucas to continue his analysis aloud.

In the original timeline, Thanos didn’t rely on others to collect the Soul Stone for him. That could be attributed to the urgency of his quest—after all, the movie only had so much runtime, and Director Thanos was always moving fast, constantly in pursuit of the next gem.

But now? With a powerful rival like Lucas standing in his way—and already holding three Infinity Stones—there was still a chance. If someone else acquired the Soul Stone first, Lucas might just seize the opportunity to take it for himself.

BOOM!

Suddenly, Lucas felt that his soul and will were attacked. He quickly pushed the power of the Infinity Stones against Thanos's Infinity Stones, stabilizing his disordered will and the soul that was about to break out of his body.

Looking up, Lucas saw the twin glints of power shimmering on the Infinity Gauntlet worn by Thanos—two Infinity Stones, pulsing with energy.

Thanos, that insidious bastard, had actually launched a sneak attack on him.

Despicable.

"So it’s just as I thought," Thanos said coldly, eyes narrowing. "The will-based instability in your body... it’s gone."

His expression grew even darker. The odds were no longer in his favor, and he knew it.

Lucas let out a low chuckle.

"Of course it’s gone. Once I realized the flaw, do you think I’d just leave it there? Now that I’ve dealt with that weakness, your precious Soul Stone isn’t nearly as effective."

Without the chaos of divided will inside him, Lucas was no longer vulnerable to soul-based interference. And now, with four Infinity Stones in his possession, Thanos's two no longer gave him the upper hand.

Thanos snorted sharply. The Soul Stone still amplified his soul power, increasing his energy reserves and boosting his magic output. It also weakened Lucas’s spiritual core, aiming to disrupt the flow of his magic. At the same time, the Mind Stone granted Thanos unwavering willpower—fortifying his mental focus, sharpening his resolve, and allowing him to operate at peak condition.

He even attempted to erode Lucas's will, trying to push him into a mental state of hopelessness—into surrender.

But Lucas stood firm.

"It’s useless."

His gaze was unwavering.

"I’m not someone you can sway that easily anymore."

Lucas's eyes instantly turned blood red. Nine jet-black tomoe appeared in his eyes, and a powerful spiritual force burst out from his body.

At the same time, the magic power from the world of Jackie Chan's adventures was also boiling continuously in his body, strongly cracking the suppression of the magic power in his body by the Soul stone.

At this moment, the Infinity Stones glowed together, and the overwhelming momentum rushed towards Thanos, making his big purple face very ugly.

BOOM!

Just when Lucas and Thanos were fighting fiercely, a brilliant flame was burning in the depths of the distant universe, and a Phoenix Nest composed of spiritual flames flew quickly toward them.

"Phoenix Force!"

Lucas's eyes narrowed, and he quickly understood what was going on.

In the chat group:

Howard Stark: What's up with that gorgeous bird? It makes me feel like my soul is burning.

Lucas: That is the power of the Phoenix, a powerful energy that came from the primordial universe and was born at the beginning of all things. Fortunately, it is only a fragment of the Phoenix power, otherwise the six Infinity Stones in this universe would not be enough to fight it.

Uchiha Madara: Has a more powerful enemy appeared? Group Leader, maybe you need to cooperate with Thanos.

Lucas: No, I have to deal with Thanos as soon as possible! The Phoenix force in the distance doesn't have much self-awareness. It is more like a mass of pure energy. It should be attracted by the powerful soul power and spiritual force of Thanos. We absolutely cannot let Thanos get the power of the Phoenix.

Lucas from the outside roared, bursting out with all his strength, and frantically launched an attack on Thanos. Thanos seemed to sense the call of the power of the Phoenix, with ecstasy in his eyes, and fought desperately with Lucas.

Although Thanos was not Lucas's opponent, he stubbornly resisted Lucas's attack.

The Phoenix Force was near!

Chapter 227: The Tower Dive Begins!

"Hahaha!"

"Lucas, I am destiny!"

"What if you have two more Infinity Stones than mine? My two Infinity Stones work together to attract the power of the Phoenix wandering in the universe."

Thanos laughed wildly. As a learned and versatile universe overlord, he knew all about the power of the Phoenix.

"I see!"

"The power of the Phoenix… it is the embodiment of life and spiritual energy within the primordial universe," Thanos murmured, his voice filled with reverence. "It symbolizes vitality, emotion—connecting all souls, past and future. It is the origin... the very source of all spiritual power."

His eyes burned with fervor.

"The Phoenix Force prefers powerful vessels," he continued. "And I… I meet its standards perfectly. The Soul Stone and Mind Stone have drastically amplified my spiritual energy, drawing it forth from the far reaches of the cosmos."

A manic grin spread across his face as his body began to radiate with surging soul and mental energy. Thanos unleashed it wildly, desperately trying to resonate with the incoming Phoenix Force, reaching toward it like a mad prophet chasing divinity.

"With the Phoenix, my power will rise far beyond the difference of two Infinity Stones. No—I will surpass even you, Lucas."

He glared at Lucas, eyes blazing with ambition and bloodlust, already envisioning the crushing defeat he was about to deal.

But Lucas only smiled—calm, unfazed, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"You think claiming the Phoenix will turn this battle around?"

He tilted his head, that smug grin spreading.

"It’s not going to be that easy."

The Space Stone in his hand ignited in a burst of blinding blue light. Space itself began to twist around Thanos, the battlefield bending, trying to forcefully relocate him.

But Thanos laughed—a deep, rumbling sound as his body pulsed with the combined energy of the Soul and Mind Stones. He poured everything into resisting, using Infinity Stone against Infinity Stone to lock himself in place.

"Trying to teleport me out?" he sneered.

"How naïve."

But Lucas hadn’t planned to send him anywhere.

In that precise moment—while Thanos was focused entirely on resisting the spatial shift—the Reality Stone in Lucas’s other hand flared a deep crimson.

And then...

The Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos’s hand shimmered—twisted—and in an instant, crumbled into red dust. Foam.

Thanos froze, eyes wide in disbelief as the legendary weapon dissolved before him.

Swoosh!

After the Infinity Gauntlet disappeared, Thanos lost the tool to extract the Infinity Gem energy, and the surging soul power and spiritual power all over his body suddenly wilted.

"This..."

Thanos was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Lucas to trick him like this.

The Infinity Gauntlet is the key to Thanos' control of the Infinity Stones. Without the Infinity Gauntlet, he can't even use the power of two Infinity Stones.

Lucas feinted a shot before, making Thanos think Lucas was trying to move him away and prevent him from contacting the Phoenix Force.

Seeing that he was about to get the power of the Phoenix and then kill Lucas, Thanos would naturally not allow such a thing to happen, so he used all his strength to prevent himself from being transferred. Who would have thought that Lucas's space transfer was just a feint? The real purpose was to target his Infinity Gauntlet, which made him lose the ability to control two Infinity Stones.

In the final analysis, there is still a gap between Lucas and Thanos, and the gap brought by the two Infinity Stones is a bit big. Not to mention Lucas also has the Power Stone, the Infinity Stone that enhances the power of other Infinity Stones.

Thanos was deliberately calculated when his strength was insufficient, and it was reasonable to lose the Infinity Gauntlet. But for Thanos, the price of this failure was a bit painful, and it directly made him lose the possibility of winning.

Without the blessing of the Mind stone and Soul stone, Thanos' attraction to the Phoenix Force plummeted. Thanos felt some regrets in his heart, not only for his carelessness but also for not using the two Infinity Stones properly before.

"Well it looks like its time for you to die”

Lucas looked at Thanos indifferently. The four Infinity Stones glowed at the same time, and the incomparable power exploded with Lucas's fist.

"Ha ha!"

Thanos smiled generously, gritted his teeth and endured the energy backlash from the Infinity Stones, grabbed the two Infinity Stones in his hands, and threw a punch at Lucas.

BOOM!

Thanos was directly blown up by Lucas, leaving only the two Infinity Gems, the Mind and the Soul, floating in mid-air. Lucas waved his hand and held them in his grasp.

The six Infinity Stones were all made into ring gems by Lucas. When they were all worn on his hands, the six Infinity Stones began to resonate, and the incomparable power acted on Lucas's body.

"What a strong backlash!"

"Fortunately, I divided the six Infinity Stones between two hands, otherwise this backlash alone would have ruined me."

Lucas clicked his tongue secretly, thankful for his foresight.

The Hulk's physical quality was so strong, yet he was tortured by the backlash when he wore the Six-Gem Infinity Gauntlet, and he could hardly clench his fist. Although Lucas was very confident about his physique, he didn't want to take chances

"Phoenix Force—come to me!"

The Mind Stone and Soul Stone in Lucas’s hands pulsed in unison, radiating waves of overwhelming spiritual and mental energy. The surge created a gravitational pull on a cosmic scale, a deadly allure that reached deep into the universe—straight toward the approaching Phoenix.

In response, the fiery avatar of the Phoenix let out a piercing cry that echoed through reality itself. Without hesitation, it dove toward Lucas, plunging into his body in a blinding blaze of golden-red light.

Lucas's eyes widened, and a low, awestruck breath escaped him.

"So this is the Phoenix Force... A power pushed to the absolute extreme."

As the energy coursed through him, Lucas could feel it—life itself burning in his veins, a firestorm of emotion and spirit that threatened to consume all reason. His very soul ignited with passion, and for a moment, the world seemed to blur beneath the sheer vitality of the force within him.

Though the Phoenix Force was a multiversal entity, what Lucas had absorbed was merely a shard—a fragment of its totality. But even this sliver, when fully awakened, held enough power to rival three Infinity Stones.

He clenched his fist slowly, letting the power settle into him, his aura blazing like a dying star.

A flicker of realization passed through him.

If Thanos had gotten this instead... things might've turned out very differently.

Of course, Thanos wouldn’t have been able to kill Lucas outright. Lucas always had the option to flee into another world. But even so—being forced to escape would’ve been humiliating. And that was something Lucas couldn't accept.

He turned his gaze toward the distance, where the Dark Order’s fleet still hovered cautiously.

"Why aren't they running?"

He asked the question aloud, more curious than hostile.

Though they hadn’t dared to interfere in the clash between two godlike beings, they hadn’t fled either. Even after Lucas had obliterated their master, Thanos, they simply kept their distance—watching, waiting.

Then, a few of Thanos’s top subordinates slowly flew forward. One by one, they bowed their heads, offering their surrender.

Their reason was simple: they needed protection.

It was the brutal logic of the universe. They had once followed Thanos because he was powerful enough to shield them from annihilation. In doing so, they’d earned the enmity of countless other forces across the cosmos. Now that he was gone, they were vulnerable—and survival demanded they swear loyalty to another overwhelming force.

To Lucas.

He stared at them in silence for a moment before replying, voice calm and unreadable.

"Is that so? Very well."

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Thanos was a madman... but I’m not foolish enough to waste time getting angry at a bunch of tools."

His gaze swept across the remnants of Thanos’s army—cold, commanding, and absolute.

Howard Stark: So… that’s the end of Thanos?

Lucas: What more do you want?

Sebastian Shaw: A bit of emotion, maybe? Come on, the guy’s original goal wasn’t all bad. Just a madman chasing his own brand of idealism like it’s some kind of cosmic game.

Lucas: Madman? No—he’s a pervert. Wiping out half the population to solve a universal crisis? He clearly never studied how insane population growth rates are.

Lo Pei: I’ve wanted to ask this for a while—was Thanos just brain-dead? If population growth is exponential, then in 20 years it would’ve doubled anyway. He snaps now, and in two decades, we’re right back where we started.

Howard Stark: I just ran the numbers. The growth rate is terrifying. So yeah, unless he planned to snap his fingers every 20 years, his idea was doomed from the start.

Sebastian Shaw:No lasting peace—just a 20-year truce. That’s… hilariously shortsighted.

Gengetsu Hōzuki: A 20-year recovery cycle, huh? Seems like a lot of worlds follow that pattern. But wait—didn’t the Group Leader say Thanos destroyed the Infinity Stones after snapping?

Thomas Wayne: Then he’s an idiot. If he lived even twenty more years, he’d regret it. What kind of so-called universal overlord doesn’t even understand basic consequences?

Howard Stark: The “overlord of the universe” is sounding more like a cosmic fool by the second.

Lucas: Foolish? Maybe. But there's another explanation: arrogance... and blind fanaticism.

Howard Stark: Right. The arrogant never seek truth, and the paranoid reject every explanation. When ordinary people are arrogant or paranoid, it's annoying. But when the powerful are like that—it’s dangerous. Speaking of which, Group Leader... you’re really keeping Thanos’s crew?

Lucas: Of course. A few loyal subordinates out in the cosmos won’t hurt. At the very least, they can handle the grunt work.

BUZZ!

Suddenly, Lucas in the outside world received a message from Kamar-Taj, which was a signal that a powerful dimensional demon had invaded the Earth.

Lucas used the Space stone without saying a word, appeared directly in Kamar-Taj, and entered the barrier that the dimensional demon was attacking.

Within the dimensional space, Lucas unleashed a devastating punch, shattering the dark energy that had seeped into reality like a festering wound. As the ripples faded, he quickly identified the presence behind the incursion—Dormammu, the demon god of the Dark Dimension, a frequent intruder in this universe.

Lucas narrowed his eyes.

"Where’s the Ancient One?"

"Why didn't she come herself this time? Instead, she sends a little pest like you to stop me? Tch... how pathetic. Has she truly fallen so low she’s sending you off to die in her place?"

Dormammu’s voice boomed with arrogance as his phantom form loomed above Lucas, laughter echoing through the rift.

But Lucas merely smirked, unfazed.

"Dormammu... what a disgusting little fly."

"Looks like I’ll be using you today—to show of my power and make the other think twice before attacking."

Without another word, he launched a punch that tore through the dimensional veil, blasting Dormammu’s projection back into the Dark Dimension.

And then, without hesitation, Lucas stepped through the breach, his body igniting with power as he stormed into the Dark Dimension itself.

The tower dive had begun.

Chapter 228: The Earth Seems to Be Doomed

"Infinity Stones? Hahaha!"

"You idiot, don't you know that the Infinity Stones can only exert their true power in their own universe?"

"You have come to my Dark Dimension with the Infinity Stones. Do you think they still have their original power?"

"I really don't know how a person with a brain like you completely collected all six Infinity Stones."

"But since you have sent all six Infinity Stones to me, I have no choice but to accept them all."

Dormammu let out a frantic laugh, and the infinite dark energy condensed into the phantom of the devil in front of Lucas.

"So... the Time Stone has fallen into your hands. That explains it—the Ancient One must be dead. No wonder my dark energy can no longer sense her. Let me guess... you're the new Sorcerer Supreme she chose?"

"Tch. Seems her judgment was as flawed as ever." Dormammu looked down at Lucas, who was the size of a bean to him, and sneered maliciously, "If you are willing to give me the Infinity Stones and become my servant, I can spare your life."

Above Lucas's hands, the six Infinity Stones glowed at the same time, forcing all the surrounding dark energy back.

The power of the Mind stone and Soul stone poured into Lucas's body continuously. Brilliant flames rose from him, and a beautiful phoenix hovered above Lucas's head.

"Phoenix?!"

Dormammu screamed, his voice filled with dread.

"After the Infinity Stones leave their own universe, their power will indeed be greatly reduced, but the power of the Phoenix is different."

"Because the power of the Phoenix is a multiverse-level existence, your Dark Dimension is also within its jurisdiction."

Lucas smiled and looked at the dark demon god opposite as surging flames shot up from him.

In the chat group:

Howard Stark: Is this the Dark Dimension? It feels like another universe!

Pirate King Roger: This place is indeed magical. Those dark energies can isolate my Observation Haki. Group Leader, how big is this Dark Dimension?

Lucas: You can think of this as a small universe, and it is a small universe that can keep growing. Don't try to find its edges, your strength is not enough to explore the whole of it.

Uchiha Madara: Those dark energies give me an ominous feeling, it's scary!

Senju Tobirama: Indeed! These dark energies give the impression of evil, much more evil than the Uchihas' Sharingan.

Woonan: What's so strange about this? The pupil power of the Uchiha family is not at the same level as the energy of the Dark Dimension. The former can't even get out of its own planet, and the latter is a universe.

Sebastian Shaw: Group Leader, Dormammu is the ruler of this small universe, right?

Lucas: Yes! But this guy is not a life form born from the Dark Dimension itself. He is a dark magician born on Earth. He entered the Dark Dimension by chance and found that it is a dimension without a ruler.

Lucas: The Dark Dimension without a ruler turned the first life to enter it, Dormammu, into a dimensional demon. Dormammu was overwhelmed by his sudden increase in power. In order to gain more power, he gave up his own flesh and fused his own spirit with the Dark Dimension.

Lucas: Now he is the consciousness of the Dark Dimension and the ruler of the entire dimension. His life form and strength have undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has become a super power at the level of a single universe.

Senju Tobirama: Isn't his luck too good? Was he very strong before entering the Dark Dimension?

Lucas: Compared to his current strength, he was weak before he entered the Dark Dimension. Just like Uchiha Obito, an adventure directly changed his strength drastically.

Namikaze Minato: Indeed! After Uchiha Obito was buried, he directly possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, Wood Style cells, and Uchiha Madara's teachings. His strength grew so much that even a teacher like me can't believe it.

Lucas: Although Dormammu doesn't have fancy things such as power-ups, god outfits, and old mentors, he has encountered a Dark Dimension without a ruler, and his luck is much better than Uchiha Obito's. A dimension without a ruler is even more precious than a Chakra fruit.

Senju Hashirama: In other words, Dormammu is equivalent to a Jōnin or even a Chūnin who picked up the Chakra fruit and became a Ten Tails Jinchūriki? It's really unbelievable luck. But there must be some drawbacks, right?

Lucas: Of course, there are drawbacks! Dormammu gave up his physical body and merged with the Dark Dimension. The price is that he can't leave the Dark Dimension. Now he is the Dark Dimension, and he can only send energy clones outside of here.

Lucas: What I'm fighting now is the energy clone controlled by Dormammu. His real body is this Dark Dimension. He is almost omnipotent here. Of course, it is not enough to face powers beyond the entire Dark Dimension.

As he spoke, Lucas was churning with the surging phoenix fire, burning all the dark energy close to him. This couldn't even be called incineration—it was more like conceptually erasing them.

"Young Sorcerer Supreme, stop!"

"It's not good for us to continue fighting. I'm willing to give up the invasion of your world."

Looking at the disappearing energy in the Dark Dimension, Dormammu felt distressed and hurriedly stopped his fight with Lucas.

"Stop? It's beautiful to think about! But unfortunately, I have taken a fancy of this dark dimension”

Lucas looked at Dormammu with a cold smile. His two Rinnegan released a scarlet light, and even the third Rinnegan, which he didn't like very much, appeared between his eyebrows.

The powerful spiritual power combined with the blessing of the two Infinity Gems of the Soul and the Mind, turning it into the source of the flaming power of the Phoenix.

One after another, black shadows rose and fell on his body—the mask magic from the world of Jackie Chan's adventures. The energy of the Dark Dimension was very compatible, and the twelve spells and the power of the eight demons also felt an urge to join forces with the Dark Dimension.

"The power of the Phoenix is the source and center of the spirit and mind of all things in the infinite multiverse, past, present, and future. Dormammu, your mind is also connected to it. Do you know what that means?"

The phoenix fire on Lucas surged, and the entire Dark Dimension was illuminated red, as if a supernova was erupting.

"It means that I can destroy you without destroying the Dark Dimension!"

"Although you have become the consciousness of the Dark Dimension, and the Dark Dimension has become the body that protects you, in the face of the power of the Phoenix—the source of your spirit—you still have no resistance. I'll erase your spirit, and the Dark Dimension will become ownerless."

Accompanied by Lucas's grim voice, the fire of the Phoenix filled the entire Dark Dimension like an explosion, purifying the entire Dark Dimension inside and out, and erasing Dormammu's consciousness.

After confirming that Dormammu had disappeared, the surging phoenix fire on Lucas immediately vanished, and the entire universe returned to its original cold and dark state. Although the fire of the Phoenix had raged before, the Phoenix fire was not a pure flame—there was no so-called high temperature or low temperature.

Whoosh!

One after another, dark energies turned into a torrent, pouring continuously into Lucas's body. Lucas did not resist and let those dark energies form a mark in his body, allowing him to gain control of the Dark Dimension.

At the same time, Lucas's life form sublimated to the level of dimensional demon god. In some worlds, this is called ascension, and it brings various benefits related to the life level.

The dark magic in Lucas's body from the world of Jackie Chan's Adventures integrated with the dark energy of the Dark Dimension, and all kinds of black magic became more powerful.

Lucas waved his hand, and the entire Dark Dimension revolved under his will. Dark energy condensed into one planet after another, and even stars emitting black light appeared.

Howard Stark: Group Leader, have you become the ruler of the Dark Dimension? Is your current situation the same as Dormammu's?

Lucas: I am indeed the ruler of the Dark Dimension now, but I am not like Dormammu. I would not have such a stupid idea as giving up my body to limit myself.

Sebastian Shaw: Group Leader, how much authority does control over the Dark Dimension give you?

Lucas: Didn't I tell you before? As long as there is no power beyond the entire Dark Dimension, I am omnipotent. For example—the universe you and Howard are in can also be regarded as a dimension. The power and authority of a Dimension ruler is stronger than that of Thanos who got the six Infinity Stones.

Lucas: Thanos needs to snap his fingers to eliminate half of the population in the universe and suffer the backlash from the Infinity Stones. But if he became the dimensional ruler of your universe, eliminating half of the population would be just a matter of thought. He could even make the universe go towards destruction or restart it.

Howard Stark: Group Leader, it seems that my world is really going to be destroyed.

Lucas: What did you say?

Sebastian Shaw: Group Leader, the Earth seems to be doomed!

Chapter 229: In Their Eyes, This Is Called Adventure!

Lucas came out of Kamar-Taj just in time to see the whole Earth crumbling. Seeds of divine power appeared on the Earth, completely draining its energy.

"Time Reverse!"

Lucas raised his hand to activate the power of the Time stone, and the time of the entire Earth began to flow backward, soon returning to the state before the collapse.

In the chat group:

Howard Stark: Group Leader, what happened just now? Was there such a huge disaster in the original future?

Lucas: There was no such disaster in the original future, because it was stopped before it happened. It seems that because of my participation, some things have changed.

Sebastian Shaw: What is going on here? The power to make a planet collapse is definitely not something ordinary people can have.

Lucas: This is indeed not the power of ordinary people. This is the power of gods who are more powerful than the Asgardians. I told you before, right? The birth of mutants is related to the Celestial.

Sebastian Shaw: That is to say, this is the Celestial doing something? It is not surprising that they can create a powerful existence like mutants, and they have the power to destroy the planet.

Lucas: It's a bit inappropriate to say that the Celestial are doing things. It's just a Celestial who created this incident. It's a Celestial named Ego, whose body is a planet. He spreads the seeds of his divine power on various planets in the universe. He wants to use this to destroy many planets in the universe. After a chain reaction has occurred and the entire universe has collapsed, he will become the sole ruler of the entire universe.

Howard Stark: He wants to be the dimensional ruler of this universe?

Lucas: That's right!

Uchiha Madara: How was he stopped in the future? Why is he successful now?

Lucas: Ego couldn't realize his dream. He needed someone with the power of the gods to help him. In the case of being unable to find and believe in other gods, he chose to have offspring, hoping that his descendants would awaken the power of gods to help him.

Howard Stark: How can he give birth to offspring? The body of the guy is a planet!

Lucas: Like Dormammu, he can make avatars. His avatars travel to all corners of the universe and have children with women of countless races. But among his huge number of children, there is only one named Star-Lord who inherited his godly power.

Howard Stark: Group Leader, can you tell me the details? How he treats his family? I think there is something to this guy

Lucas: Can your focus be normal?

Sebastian Shaw: It is human nature to be curious, and it cannot be changed.

Lucas: That's right! If human beings could change their curious nature, the gossip department wouldn't exist. Well, since you are curious, I'll tell you. Ego is a ruthless guy. The purpose of having children is to achieve his ambitions. So after he has completed the act of reproduction, he will leave the woman.

Howard Stark: What a ruthless man, too bad!

Thomas Wayne: That's right!

Lucas: Your two sons are similar. Maybe you are not good people yourselves. Don't laugh at others when you're not much better.

Thomas Wayne: Group Leader, I have to tell you! Bruce's playboy character is a disguise, and I am a pure-hearted man.

Howard Stark: Although Tony's playboy character is not a disguise, I am definitely a good man with a pure heart.

Sebastian Shaw: Can the two of you stop wallowing in petty desires and show a shred of ambition? Group Leader, what about Ego—how does he treat his children? If he wanted them to be his successors or assistants, surely he wouldn’t just neglect them… right?

Lucas: After the children are born, Ego will send someone to take them to his own body. If it is confirmed that the children do not inherit his divine power, then Ego will kill them immediately.

Dongfang Yuechu: No way? Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. This Ego is too cruel, right?

Lo Pei: It's really outrageous!

Howard Stark: So he’s not just a scumbag who walks away after getting what he wants—he’s also the kind who’s utterly heartless to his own kids. Tell me, if he treats them like that, does he really expect them to help him?

Sebastian Shaw: That's true! Does that Star-Lord know nothing about what his father did?

Lucas: Star-Lord is an outlier, and his experience is completely different from that of his siblings. When he was a little kid, Ego sent Yondu, an interstellar ravager, to bring him back.

Lucas: Unexpectedly, the ravager betrayed him and took Star-Lord as his own son to raise. Star-Lord is also a person with great luck, and even the ruthless interstellar mercenary was influenced by him.

Gengetsu Hōzuki: And then? Since Star-Lord was not sent back to Ego, how did Ego do all this?

Uchiha Madara: Is there any need to ask? Of course, Ego sent someone to bring him back. But the original future is different from the present. What was the original future like?

Lucas: The original future? After being brought to Ego's side, Star-Lord learned about Ego's plan, and also learned that his mother's death was closely related to Ego, and even caused by Ego's hand...

Howard Stark: Wait! Ego not only killed his children, but also killed the women who gave birth to them? This guy is scum!

Irisviel: Agreed! Those women were blind to fall in love with him and have children. Wait, were those women willing?

Lucas: Of course it was voluntary! And madam, you pick men's eyes well. Wait, you weren't voluntary, were you?

Irisviel: Kiritsugu is much better than Ego! My death has nothing to do with him, and he gave up his life for our daughter.

Lucas: Just be happy! But I have to state that although Ego is a scumbag, he didn't kill all the women who bore his children. The reason why he killed Star-Lord's mother was because he fell in love with Star-Lord's mother.

Howard Stark: Huh? What's the point of killing Star-Lord's mother because he fell in love with her?

Senju Tobirama: Do the gods, like the Uchiha clan, need to sacrifice their love to gain power?

Uchiha Madara: Tobirama, don't discredit the Uchiha clan. I bet Ego killed Star-Lord's mother for his ambitions.

Lucas: Madara is right! After Ego's ideal is realized, only the gods in the entire universe can survive, or in other words, Ego and the children who have inherited his divine power.

Uchiha Madara: As expected! Ego is afraid that if Star-Lord's mother continues to live, he will lose his determination to destroy the universe. Is that so?

Lucas: That's right! So he planted a terminal illness in Star-Lord's mother and killed her with his own hands. However, Star-Lord inherited his divine power and brought a possibility – only the woman he truly loves can give birth to a child with divine power.

Howard Stark: Even if he knows this, it's not easy to do it, right? After all, his situation has proved a point: true love will become a stumbling block for him to achieve his ideals.

Lucas: He hasn't tested this possibility. Of course, even if he wants to test it, it's not easy. True love is not something that can be forced, and his heart cannot be controlled by himself. In the original future, Ego was killed by Star-Lord and Star-Lord's companion together.

Shiki: “Father is kind, son is filial”—what’s your take on that, Whitebeard?

Whitebeard: Go away!

Lucas: The adopted daughter Gamora, who was killed by Thanos before, is the object of Star-Lord's secret love. Ego can get Star-Lord's help now, maybe it has something to do with Gamora's death. It is not uncommon for the whole world to burn because idiots think they can bring back their loved ones.

Namikaze Minato: Is that it? Uchiha Obito had a dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi, in which everyone is resurrected and happy. Did Star-Lord get deceived by Ego with a similar lie?

Lucas: That's not entirely true! But Star-Lord is a person who is good at creating miracles. He is good at getting his teammates killed, he can make the enemy who is about to lose win, and he can also bring about the defeat of his own side.

Thomas Wayne: Is there such a thing?

Lucas: In the original future, after collecting four Infinity Stones, Thanos was almost defeated by Tony Stark and the others. At that time, when Thanos was pinned down by Tony and Doctor Strange, Star-Lord took the opportunity to ask about Gamora's whereabouts, and then learned that Gamora was killed by Thanos.

Senju Tobirama: He then let out his emotion?

Lucas: How did you know?

Senju Tobirama: It's normal to have such a reaction! The enemy who killed your love is right in front of you, so it's not surprising to go up and punch him. Of course, this situation is limited to ordinary people. Trained ninjas must resist their anger.

Lucas: Sure, landing a punch on him isn't that surprising. But throwing multiple punches—while his teammates are trying to hold him back—until Thanos literally wakes up? Don’t tell me it was just “rage.” At that point, if someone claimed he was Thanos’s undercover agent, a lot of people would believe it.

Uchiha Madara: Tch. He’s just trash who can’t control his emotions.

Shiki: Heh, not necessarily. Maybe the more people tried to stop him, the more fired up he got?

That kind of mindset isn’t rare. He knows it's dangerous but has to try it anyway. Isn’t that just like that fool Roger?

In their eyes, they don’t call it recklessness...

They call it adventure.

Chapter 230: Mr. Earth Is Really Extraordinary!

Seeing Shiki's speech, Lucas was speechless, but he had to admit that Shiki was right.

Many people have dead cells in their brains, and most people like to be reckless. Sometimes they know it's dangerous to do something, but they still can't help it.

Pirate King Roger said unhappily: "My adventure is different from that of Star-Lord, and I won't do such a stupid thing. Even in the naval battle of Ed War, I rejected you for freedom."

Whitebeard said disdainfully: "Don't argue, Roger! You are the kind of pirate who runs to dangerous places. Isn't that the thrill and adventure you want? Of course I can't understand you, after all, what we are after is not the same."

Shiki: "Indeed! I pursue power, Whitebeard pursues family, and only you, Roger, pursue the thrill of near death."

Pirate King Roger said unhappily: "That's called adventure, do you understand? Forget it, you definitely don't understand!"

Outside world:

Lucas stepped out of Earth and found that countless stars in the entire universe were collapsing. This was a sign that Ego wanted to assimilate the entire universe.

A gate of space appeared out of thin air in front of Lucas. He stepped into it and saw Ego who was trying to assimilate the universe.

"Do you want to stop me? You're late!"

When Ego saw Lucas come out of the door of space, his mocking voice sounded.

"Arriving late? No, not at all!"

"Although your method of assimilating the universe is good, it's a pity!"

"With six Infinity Stones in hand, I am the ruler of this universe."

Lucas chuckled. The six Infinity Stones above both hands glowed at the same time, and the powerful force began to reverse the time of the entire universe, making it go back to the time before Ego started his plan.

"Six Infinity Stones?"

Ego looked at the Infinity Stones in Lucas's hands and felt like his head was going to explode. Someone really collected these things!

"Ego, did you know? In a certain corner of the universe, there is a Celestial’s head suspended there. People mine his flesh and blood tissue and make all kinds of precious commodity."

Lucas looked at Ego in front of him and said in a low voice, the light of the six Infinity Stones fixing his body.

Then a pitch-black dimension door opened behind him, and chains formed by dark energy flew out from inside, tied Ego and dragged him into the Dark Dimension.

In the chat group:

Howard Stark: The Dark dimension can enter this universe and appear anywhere?

Lucas: Of course not! The Dark Dimension is a special case, because it is my dimension. Because I am the Sorcerer Supreme and have six Infinity Stones, I can open the door to dimensions anywhere in the universe.

Sebastian Shaw: Group Leader, Ego isn't dead, right? If possible, I hope you can check his memory. Since the mutants are experiments of the Celestial, I think there should be related memories in Ego's mind.

Lucas: Don't worry! I sent Ego into the Dark Dimension in order to better extract information from him. Although the authority brought by the six Infinity Stones is great, there is still a gap compared to the authority of a Dimensional ruler.

Dark Dimension:

Ego, who was thrown here, was swallowed up by endless dark energy in the blink of an eye. A bewildered guy flew out of Ego, and it was the Star-Lord who was controlled and used by Ego.

When Lucas came in and saw this, he waved and threw him out, showing no interest in this so-called son of the gods. Although this guy had the blood of the gods, he didn't have any commendable skills other than his awkward dance.

"Ego, give me your wisdom and memory!"

Lucas looked at Ego with a slight smile. The powerful force began to read his memory. Ego's resistance was not worth mentioning at all under the authority of the Dimension Lord.

"I'd rather blow myself up than let you take advantage of me!"

The shame of having his memory forcibly read was no less than being stripped naked. Ego roared, and his planet-sized body began to swell.

"No!"

"This is my world, how could you easily blow yourself up?"

"What's more, even if you blow yourself up, your soul cannot be separated from the Dark Dimension."

"Here, time is under my control, and I can restore you to your original appearance at any time."

Lucas looked at the swollen Ego and smiled contemptuously. The powerful force imprisoned Ego and made a copy of his memory.

After copying the memory, Lucas examined Ego's body while speaking in the chat group: "Ego's memory does contain information about mutants."

Howard Stark: Is there any intelligence to solve the hidden dangers of mutants? For example, something to help those mutants who cannot control their abilities stabilize them?

Sebastian Shaw: Is there any intelligence that can enhance the abilities of mutants? An ability similar to Apocalypse that can evolve and enhance the abilities of mutants?

Lucas: Yes! Whether it is to solve the hidden dangers of mutant abilities, or to enhance the ability of mutants. Even the technology that transforms ordinary people into mutants exists in Ego's mind.

Howard Stark: Great! The contradiction between mutants and ordinary people is largely due to the inability of mutants to control their own abilities. With the Group Leader's technology, Earth should become much more peaceful.

Sebastian Shaw: Group Leader, do you think my mutant ability can still be improved?

Lucas: Of course not! Your current body is artificial, and you don't even have the X-gene. How can your abilities be improved?

Ryuma: Is the technology of artificially creating mutants similar to the technology of artificial Devil Fruit?

Lucas: It's not similar! The technology of artificially creating mutants can completely replace the existence of artificial Devil Fruit. This is not a peer comparison, this is a replacement!

Howard Stark: Group Leader, did you throw Star-Lord on Earth? I seem to have seen him.

Lucas: Star-Lord came from Earth, of course I throw him back to Earth.

Howard Stark: Star-Lord is from Earth? It's a pity! I should live in the same era as Star-Lord's mother. It's really my loss that I didn't see her with my own eyes.

Thomas Wayne: What are you thinking?

Howard Stark: Don't get me wrong! I just wanted to know what kind of woman could make a Celestial fell in love.

Sebastian Shaw: Dormammu is the wizard of our Earth, the Sorcerer Supreme is also from Earth, and the son of the Celestial Star-Lord was also born on Earth. The water on Earth seems to be very deep!

The outside world Lucas finished examining Ego's body, left the Dark Dimension and sent two clones, asking them to send information about the mutants to Howard Stark and Sebastian Shaw respectively.

At this time, Irisviel in the chat group suddenly spoke: "Group Leader, you should have a solution to the problem of the Holy Grail now, right?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to start. When will you come over, Group Leader?

Lucas laughed: "I almost forgot about it, I'll come right away! Also, I'd love to see if there are any secrets for me in the Fate world."

He had six Infinity Gems and the power of the Phoenix, and was sublimated by the Dark Dimension again. Lucas's strength had grown significantly, and he felt that the world of the Fate was no longer difficult for him.

Fate World. Tohsaka Tokiomi's family.

Two young girls, Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura, stood together, as beautiful as lotus flowers. Nearly ten years had passed in the Fate World, and the two little girls had grown into lovely young women.

And standing beside them was the little Illya. The reason why she appeared here was because she, like the Tohsaka sisters, had become a Master in this Holy Grail War, with a red Command Spell on her hand.

Tohsaka Rin and Illya had inherited the magic crests of the Tohsaka family and the Einzbern family respectively. And Tohsaka Sakura got the magic crest of the Matou family, which Lucas had studied and perfected, and then given to the little girl.

For Lucas, magic crests were low-level toys. The magic crests of the Tohsaka family, the Matou family, and the Einzbern family were an identity certificate in addition to being able to use magic.

As the founders of the Holy Grail, the three royal families were the predetermined participants in the Holy Grail War. Those who inherited the Magic Crest would get the Command Spell when the Holy Grail War was about to start, and they didn't need to compete for places like other fighters.

In addition to the three young girls who participated in the war, other people who knew about Lucas's existence were also here, waiting for his appearance.

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Lucas appeared out of thin air, looked at everyone in front of him and smiled.

Rin Tohsaka stared at Lucas and said curiously, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, has it been ten years? You haven't changed much!"
