"The Hunger"
What is hunger? What are Marvel zombies?
A virus is the short answer, the virus of infinite hunger...
No one knows the real origin... it simply exists, it came to Earth 21-49 with Sentry from Earth 91-126.
Hunger is infinite... an insatiable and uncontrollable hunger, no matter if you're a god like Thor, a man with a noble character like Captain America, or a good person, a true hero like Spider-Man.
It didn't matter... You can't contain hunger; you'll be forced to devour everyone, even your loved ones.
Sentry appeared and attacked the present Avengers, Captain America, Luke Cage, Hawkeye... Black Widow... they were infected and succumbed to the virus.
Captain America in this universe was known as Colonel America, a noble man of brave character willing to bear the weight of the world, yet it didn't prevent him from being dominated by hunger; he began to devour people... then he saw Spider-Man and infected him.
Spider-Man, Peter, a man accustomed to pain, with a good heart, a person who would give his life for the world and has done so on more than one occasion, yet not even someone like him can contain hunger; he returned home, killed, and devoured his wife and aunt.
The rest of the Avengers suffered similar fates; all that was in their minds was the unleashed frenzy of death and blood; they were hungry, very hungry, infinitely hungry, and needed to eat.
Thor was infected and died... when he regained some consciousness, he began to eat others; not even someone as worthy and with such a strong will as him could contain hunger...
Of course, his hammer, Mjolnir, fell to the ground, realizing that his master was no longer worthy.
Scarlet Witch, with all her power capable of altering reality, was infected in a careless moment by Ant-Man; all her power couldn't stop hunger...
Doctor Strange, with all his knowledge, couldn't rid himself of hunger...
The immortal Hulk, who should be immune to all kinds of diseases, couldn't avoid succumbing to infinite hunger.
Wolverine and his healing factor, including Deadpool, no one could survive...
It is well known that most superheroes and supervillains in the Marvel universe are in New York; this played against them because, in a short time, most heroes had fallen.
Tony, in a careless moment, removed his armor and was attacked and infected by the Fantastic Four.
Hank Pym
Reed Richards
Tony Stark
Doctor Doom
The brightest minds in the world succumbed, and with them, the hope of stopping this.
It was inevitable; there were no miracles, no mystical artifact that would save the day, no entity, person, god, or immoral being that could withstand hunger.
Strangely, as in every universe, there are differences, In this universe both Deadpool and Hulk were infected when in other universes, it was shown that they would not be in this situation.
There was no Sentry in this world because the Sentry that arrived was from another universe.
All these things lacked meaning for Allen, who could do nothing but watch all these events while crossing the universe at his maximum speed.
However, this scared all the spectators, how couldn't they be scared? They have seen several heroes and villains and what they are capable of, but in a short time they fell one after another, perhaps the situation was too sudden and confusing, so many heroes were simply unprepared for what happened.
Among the brilliant minds and geniuses present, they realized several things.
Tony – Let's assume it's a disease or a virus.
Banner (Not Hulk) – Yes, this virus is intelligent, it seems to incite its carriers to infect superheroes and supervillains, as they are limited to biting them.
Gilgamesh – There's a difference from civilians; they eat them whole.
Charles Xavier – No matter if you're a god, human, or mutant, you can't avoid it.
Athena – Magic doesn't work to eliminate it; it seems mutant powers don't either...
Aizen – the infection time is ridiculously short, but if you can cut or tear off the infected area immediately, you'll save yourself...
Urahara – Even if they lose their digestive system, they are still driven to eat... how terrifying.
Nikky – Why?!
Ruby – HOW CAN YOU ANALYZE THIS SO CALMLY?! ALLEN IS GOING TO THAT HELL!
Gwen – It's to help Allen...
Ruby – What?!
MJ – Right now, every bit of information is useful for Allen... because he won't stop.
Natasha – Nothing will stop him... damn it, I shouldn't have let him go!
Diana – It's not your fault... there was no way to know.
Natasha blamed herself because a woman who looked like her just died on screen... the Black Widow of this universe was one of the first victims, and at this moment, she's committing atrocious acts.
Natasha didn't care what happened to her in this universe if this Natasha was even slightly similar in personality, then she would be ready to die at any moment, but she couldn't forgive the fact that Allen saw it.
*Allen's POV*
I know! I know it...
I hear them, I can hear their voices, their cries, their concern for me...
I know that at this moment, I'm hurting people who love me by going to that place...
I know, that Natasha Romanoff is not my aunt, she doesn't even look much like her... I know that Gwen is not my Gwen Stacy, I'm sorry, but my girlfriend is much more beautiful. I know that MJ is not my MJ, nor is that Felicia Hardy my Felicia Hardy.
I know that Tony is not the narcissistic idiot I know, nor is that Hulk the dumb and funny giant.
No one in this universe is who I know and appreciate... I know all that...
HOWEVER!
I CAN'T STOP!
Every time I try to rationalize my actions, I speed up more! Every time I try to stop, my hands tighten more! Every time I try to ignore what's happening, my soul burns!
It's too unfair!
It's too fast!
It didn't give them time to defend themselves!
If God exists in this universe, he definitely wanted to end everyone!
No, perhaps it wasn't God's fault; perhaps it was something else...
But...
BUT!
THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD ACCEPT THIS, IT'S NOT ABOUT JUSTICE, SIMPLY AS A PERSON, SIMPLY AS A HUMAN BEING, IT'S TOO UNACCEPTABLE A UNIVERSE LIKE THIS!!.
*End of POV*
As the seconds passed, Allen's anger grew, and at the same time, his speed also increased, however, it still wasn't enough; the universe was huge, and Allen was too far from Earth.
This made him even more frustrated.
[Host, there is an entity of great power ahead]
...
Allen narrowed his eyes because he didn't see any entity, only a huge planet. However, that planet was precisely an entity.
Ego is literally a conscious planet, with its own mind and extraordinary abilities. Its physical appearance varies, but it usually has a face on the surface of its planet and can manipulate its shape to communicate with other beings.
Ego possesses vast cosmic power, including the ability to control matter and energy around it. It has been portrayed as an antagonist in various stories, often facing off against characters like Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Its obsession with expanding its consciousness and controlling everything makes it a formidable and dangerous adversary.
Ego's most notable feats include:
Cosmic consciousness and control: Ego can manipulate matter and energy around it at cosmic levels. This allows it to perform feats like altering reality, generating force fields, and launching powerful energy attacks.
Planetary expansion and manipulation: As a conscious planet, Ego can expand its mass and manipulate its shape to suit its needs. It has demonstrated the ability to absorb other planets to increase its size and power.
Life creation: Ego can create biomechanical life forms within its planetary mass. These creatures, known as "Egolites," act as extensions of their will and can be used to defend or attack their enemies.
Psychic connection: Ego can establish psychic connections with other conscious beings, allowing them to communicate telepathically and exert some degree of control over their minds.
Without a doubt, Ego is a mon-
"You're in the way..."
Allen summoned his Crown Saber in one swift motion, he increased his synchronization to one thousand percent, but he didn't stop there, he raised it to one thousand five hundred percent. At the same time, he initiated the ritual for the cut that separates the world and adds destructive ki.
Allen wielded his sword without slowing down.
"What-?!"
Ego felt something in the distance, but it was only for an instant before he could process what had happened, something had already crossed where he was.
"Huh?"
Allen sheathed his sword and ignored the scream as a planet was split in half.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG!!!!"
Ego was very powerful, capable of altering reality and manipulating matter, creating powerful force fields; however, Allen didn't give him time to use any of that.
Having lived for thirteen billion years, Ego lost any trace of fear of death and caution towards the unknown, or perhaps he never had it, it's a common characteristic of beings born powerful.
Ego would only need a few seconds to be on guard, with just that, this wouldn't end in a single attack, but Allen didn't give him a moment.
With the combination of the power that cuts what he wants to cut, the cut that separates the world, and the power of destruction, Ego didn't stand a chance to survive long enough to know how he had been killed.
Did Allen become ruthless? No, he simply trusted his instincts, which told him that Ego was someone who would kill him if given the chance.
Allen continued while losing interest in the dead living planet.
At the same time, his Chat remained silent; it was too shocking to see how powerful he had become, especially for those who had known Allen for a long time.
Allen thought for a moment, no matter how fast he was, he would never arrive before the extinction of humanity, perhaps with the speed force, but this isn't DC, and he doesn't have time to play gacha waiting to get something to arrive quickly.
Especially now that the balance is tilted with a pending bad luck debt, Allen can't rely on luck.
Allen tried to control his overflowing emotions to gain a moment of lucidity.
Then an idea came to his mind; Allen drew his sword again and activated the six eyes.
'System...'
[Yes!]
"Domain Expansion... Infinite Void"
Allen used his Domain Expansion on his own... again he gained all the knowledge of the universe, of course, the system filtered the information so that Allen's brain wouldn't be overwhelmed, and he only got what he needed: a detailed map of the universe.
Allen prepared the cut that separates the world, but this time he combined it with his space control courtesy of Limitless.
"In theory, if Limitless can create an infinite between two objects, it should be able to do the opposite and eliminate the distance, right?"
Allen brandished his sword...
"Green..."
