章節 367: Chapter 366: The Legacy of the Master Weaver!
Reed and the others rushed Susan, the Invisible Woman, to the hospital in a flurry of activity. After a thorough examination, it was determined that there was nothing seriously wrong; she just needed to rest and take care of the pregnancy.
This was indeed great news, so great that it left the Fantastic Three utterly bewildered. It was only after the Invisible Woman woke up that they found out she had known about her pregnancy a week earlier but had kept it to herself because Reed had been busy helping the Avengers save the Earth.
Knowing he was about to become a father, Mr. Fantastic was overjoyed. After discussing it with the Invisible Woman, he finally decided to temporarily shelve his research on parallel universes.
Because right now, there were two things far more important than his research!
The first was getting married.
Ordinarily, rushing into marriage wouldn't be advisable, with the best course being to wait until after crises were averted and disasters resolved before proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, they had already "rushed" into things, and now with a life created, they had to hurry and marry before the pregnancy became obvious.
Besides, he also needed to develop a machine to check life signs and energy from parallel universes, to give the Invisible Woman a thorough medical examination.
Although the doctor said the Invisible Woman was fine, the issue had originated from energy from a parallel universe.
Clearly, this was not something that medical science could handle alone.
To ensure the safety of mother and child, and to avoid any accidents, he had to personally eliminate any potential dangers.
...
Los Angeles, on the rooftop of Clark's villa.
Sitting next to Captain Marvel, who had been waiting for him for a while, Clark was silent. It was clear that since she had come to him, he would let her speak first.
He thought she would ask about Lois, but her first sentence was about the disaster sweeping across the universe that Devourer of Stars had mentioned, asking if he had any clue about it.
Faced with such a universally-minded woman, Clark didn't know what to say.
He shook his head and honestly replied, "Currently, I have two suspects. One is the Phoenix Force, which I had previously split into five parts, three of which are now destroyed, one resides within Ava, and should not cause any trouble, but the last piece is missing."
He paused, then added, "Besides the Phoenix Force, there is also Dormammu from the Dark Dimension. I managed to repel him when he tried to devour Earth, but he took advantage of the chaos to hide a Dark Disciple named Kaecilius in the universe, whose magical talent is nearly on par with Stephen Strange, and he's not someone to be overlooked."
Captain Marvel shook her head repeatedly, "According to Devourer of Stars, the root of this crisis is on Earth, and it seems that if Earth is destroyed, the disaster will automatically disappear. The threats you're talking about don't seem to match up."
Clark's gaze towards her became wary, "What are you planning to do?"
Seeing Clark's serious look, Captain Marvel quickly shook her head to reassure him, "Don't worry, I have no intention of sacrificing Earth for the safety of the universe."
Clark then nodded in satisfaction and continued, "That's what baffles me as well. Unfortunately, Devourer of Stars doesn't know the specifics either. For now, we can only take one step at a time."
Captain Marvel raised an eyebrow, "That's your plan?"
Nodding, Clark said, "I don't see anything wrong with that approach, but before that, I plan to retreat for a few days to elevate my strength to another level. Dealing with many troubles is actually quite simple: just increase your own strength, and perhaps troubles will no longer be troubles."
Confidently smiling, Clark continued, "For instance, in their timeline, Thanos gathered the six Infinity Stones and destroyed half the life in the universe, but if he dares to appear on Earth in our timeline, I can crush him easily! As for the Infinity Stones, they are beyond his reach."
Captain Marvel looked at Clark with a puzzled expression, his ability to upgrade seemed as easy as eating or drinking, an enviable skill indeed.
With a suddenly mischievous smile, Captain Marvel suggested, "Now that we've discussed official matters, can we talk about personal ones? About Lois."
Mentioning Lois made Clark frown slightly, "How do you want to talk about it?"
"I think it's not quite appropriate to discuss here. How about we change the location?"
"Where to?"
"Since it all started from Morag, let's go to Morag to talk."
Clark nodded lightly, "That's fine."
Three days later, Morag exploded again...
This desolate planet had been destroyed in two timelines consecutively.
Truly a sad story...
In fact, Clark never refused Captain Marvel
's sparring requests, for various reasons that were somewhat heartbreaking.
Not because of any emotional connection, nor because of her looks, but what really impressed Clark about Captain Marvel was her Asgardian-level physical prowess.
Compared to Hill or Ava, both were too fragile. When sparring with them, Clark always had to be extra careful, like holding a fragile object in his hand, fearing it would break if gripped too tightly, always afraid that a little extra force might cause irreparable tragedy.
But with Captain Marvel, there was no need to worry about this, her physique might not match Clark's, but it definitely ranked at the top in the Marvel universe. When fighting her, he didn't have to worry about holding back.
As long as he didn't use his Avenging powers during their fights, Captain Marvel could definitely handle it.
And Captain Marvel liked to spar with Clark not only because of his powerful physique but also because of his stunning looks, which even made her heart flutter.
After all, the unmatched vigor of a Multiverse-level being was not something you see every day.
Especially this time, Captain Marvel ensured absolute safety during their sparring by bringing the most advanced bulletproof raincoat made with Kree technology, a top-tier product of the universe. This raincoat, while offering impressive protection, was also light and flexible, not hindering mobility at all, feeling no different whether worn or not.
With this extra layer of protection, their fierce battle, no matter how intense, wouldn't risk lives.
And indeed, the quality of the raincoat proved impeccable.
The intense battle between Earth's two strongest individuals shook the ground and stunned the stars, but the raincoat remained undamaged.
...
Returning to Earth from the ruins of Morag, Clark tried to contact his divine power avatar residing within Gwen through telepathy, only to unexpectedly discover that his avatar had now spread across countless parallel universes in the Multiverse. Even within little Peter, whom he had completely given up on, there was an avatar guarding him.
What was going on?
Without opting for the longer route of contacting the avatar in Gwen, Clark connected with the one in little Peter nearby. Upon inquiry, he learned that his avatar in Gwen had actually exceeded its mission!
In the Marvel Multiverse, there existed a special being known as the Master Weaver. He wasn't a Multiverse-level fighter, at best comparable to the Ancient One at her peak. However, he possessed the ability to traverse the Multiverse at will and was a top-tier alchemist. His crafted magical items were all of exceptional quality, notably Doctor Strange's cloak and the boots under Clark's feet.
But the most magical aspect of the Master Weaver wasn't his equipment crafting skills but his control over the Spider Totem!
Through the Spider Totem, the Master Weaver could weave destiny threads to guide every Spider-Man's growth.
It could be said that all the Spider-Men across parallel universes were born from the Master Weaver's guidance and had numerous connections with him.
Irrevocably entangled and complicated! Yet, such a great magician had fallen into the hands of a successor family, who completely controlled him and used him as a vital tool in their hunting of Spider-Men.
Ultimately, although the Spider-Men, led by Gwen, managed to defeat the successor family, they couldn't save the Master Weaver's life.
In his final moments, the Master Weaver entrusted the control of the Spider Totem to Clark's avatar, asking him to take care of those dear children.
Clark's divine power avatar readily agreed and infused its divine power into the Spider Totem.
This meant that all Spider-Men were now hosts of Clark's divine power! Considering that Spider-Men are not just talented but also protected by a strong protagonist halo, being Marvel's favored sons, their destiny weight was undoubtedly high. With such a special group of divine power hosts, one can imagine the profound impact this would have on Clark's future development.
This was indeed a massive gain! From controlling the Spider Totem, Clark realized that countless universal energies were flowing through the destiny threads into the Spider Totem, transforming into a new form of Avenging power exclusive to him through the Spider Totem's conversion.
Through one mission, he gained countless minor avatars to level up on his behalf, a dream for many Multiverse-level powerhouses.
What Phoenix and Sion struggled for countless millennia to achieve, Clark easily accomplished! Indeed, even in the Marvel Multiverse, it's still a world where looks matter!
Actually, I originally planned to elaborate on the Spider-verse story, but based on the previous chapters, I realized that not everyone seemed interested in a story full of Spiders, so I abandoned the original idea. However, since the Spider-verse story occupies a very important part in the previously designed story arc, after much consideration, I decided to use the historical style to skip through it. Fortunately, this does not affect the subsequent plot.
