Chapter 1091 The Observer and Ultron
"Love?"

Hei Qiyi murmured something under his breath, his head bowing even lower as he knelt on the ground.

The chilling red and black light in Raven's eyes slowly faded, and the oppressive illusory scene around her dissipated like the receding tide, revealing the true appearance of the Sanctuary ruins—broken walls, traces of burning energy, and bewildered gazes from all directions.

Azu, Clark, Tom, and the others stared in shock at the scene before them.

The incredibly powerful Dark Sovereign, who had nearly driven them to the brink of despair, was now kneeling on the ground, devoid of any fighting spirit or madness, only endless defeat remaining.

"Is...is this over?"

Bao Bao cautiously took a few steps closer, gripping the bomb gun tightly in her hand.

She glanced at the kneeling Black Strange, then at Raven, whose face was pale but whose eyes were calm, and spoke with disbelief.

"Raven, what did you do to him? Why did he surrender?"

Raven was slightly out of breath; the immense strain of reverting to her Red Raven form left her feeling completely exhausted.

Gazing at the kneeling Black Strange, Raven slowly shook her head and said in a weak voice, "I didn't do anything. I just showed him the truth he had always refused to face. He... has given up."

Although Raven said that Black Strange had surrendered, Azu and the others still did not let their guard down.

The group stared intently at Hei Qiyi, their muscles tense, ready to respond to any possible feigned surrender or counterattack.

Azu was especially unwilling. He had been badly beaten by the other party before, and now that his enemy was right in front of him without any defense, the violent impulse in his body was almost uncontrollable.

"Just let it go like that? Who knows if this bastard is faking it!"

Azu's eyes flashed red, his heat vision poised to strike, ready to deliver the final blow.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
This is something my dad taught me.

"No!"

Stephen Strange from the main universe spoke up in time and stepped in front of Azu.

Stephen slowly shook his head at Azu and said in a solemn tone, "There's no need to take action. I can feel that the dark obsession in his heart has dissipated. What remains is only endless regret and emptiness. He wasn't pretending."

Azu paused, glanced at Stephen, and then glared fiercely at Black Strange.

Although his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, Ah Zu finally spat out a curse and forcibly suppressed his urge to fight.

Seeing that no one else was speaking, Bruce walked up to Black Strange.

He asked Strange directly, "Strange, have you given up your ambitions?"

The strange black body trembled slightly, and it slowly raised its head.

His face no longer held the madness and fanaticism of before, only the numbness of someone who had been completely hollowed out.

"I...I give up..."

He murmured, staring blankly ahead, "Right now... I'm just a pathetic worm consumed by pain, a monster I despise myself..."

He seemed to have finally woken up from a nightmare and realized the irreversible disaster he had caused.

"I only wanted to save my loved ones, but I never expected... that this blind and unconscious love would devour all my rationality and make the whole universe pay for my mistakes."

The strange black voice was filled with regret.

On the other side, Christine Palmer of the Illuminati universe listened to these words with a somewhat complicated expression.

Looking at Stephen Strange, who came from another universe and destroyed everything for "her," and then thinking of Stephen from the main universe who chose to let go and silently protect her, she felt a mix of emotions.

Christine never imagined that her existence in other universes would have such a significant impact on Stephen.

After speaking to Bruce, Black Strange seemed to have completely accepted his fate.

He struggled to raise one hand, bringing his wrist together, making a gesture of resignation.

"I accept any sanctions."

He closed his eyes, awaiting the judgment.

Wanda, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony with him.

The crimson energy of chaotic magic surged forth instantly, transforming into sturdy energy shackles that firmly bound Hei Qiyi's hands and feet.

At the same time, a powerful binding force seeped into his body, sealing off his source of magic and ensuring that he had no chance of resistance.

Seeing that Black Strange had accepted the punishment without hesitation, Raven finally relaxed completely.

The crimson and black energy receded completely from her body like a tide, her crimson hair returned to a deep purple, and the two eyes on her forehead that burned with hellfire slowly closed and disappeared.

The overwhelming sense of power receded like the receding tide, and a feeling of weakness instantly overwhelmed them.

Raven's face turned deathly pale, and her body swayed uncontrollably, almost collapsing to the ground.

Clark and Captain Carter, who was closest, immediately stepped forward and supported her on either side.

"Raven!"

"Hold on, child."

Raven thanked them weakly, saying, "Thank you."

Clark helped Raven up, eager to ask her what her red hair form had been like just now.

Are the Godfather's children all beings capable of transformation?
Clark felt a touch of melancholy.

But he soon felt relieved.

The Godfather once said that magical girl transformation is a basic skill.

I'm not a magical girl, so I don't need to be envious.

Clark was lost in thought about magical girls, and the expressions of the others gradually relaxed.

Just when everyone thought that this battle across the multiverse had finally come to an end and they could finally catch their breath.

"Om...!"

Without warning, the air in front of them rippled violently, like waves on water.

An indescribable, powerful will suddenly descended.

The space was silently torn apart, and a figure stepped out from it.

The newcomer was not tall, even somewhat short, bald, with bluish-gray skin, and wearing a silver-gray cloak.

He didn't exude any powerful energy fluctuations, yet he possessed an aura of majesty that transcended all things.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of the newcomer and instinctively adopted a defensive stance.

"……Who are you?"

Captain Carter gripped his shield tightly and asked in a deep voice.

The short, bald creature glanced at the crowd and slowly spoke.

His voice was peculiar and flat, as if countless voices were superimposed together, echoing directly in everyone's mind:
"I am an observer."

He introduced himself, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, “Our race has sworn never to interfere with the development of the universe and all things, but only to act as witnesses, recording all the knowledge, all the history, and all the possibilities that occur in the infinite universe.”

“However,” the observer changed the subject, “at this moment, there is a threat that has expanded beyond a single universe and is beginning to jeopardize the stable balance of the entire multiverse. Conventional intervention methods are no longer sufficient to deal with it. Therefore, I need someone’s help.”

His eyes then slowly fell on the Black Strange, who was kneeling dejectedly, bound by Wanda's Chaos Shackles.

"I need him."

The observer looked at the black oddity and said in an unquestionable voice.

"what?!"

"Looking for him?!"

"What a joke!"

Upon hearing the Observer say that Black Strange was needed, the Fathers of Sorrow immediately erupted in uproar.

I finally managed to subdue this madman who's destroying the universe, and now this inexplicable "observer" is asking for my help?

"impossible!"

Azu was the first to object.

Wanda went even further, intensifying her control over the Black Oddity, with crimson energy flashing violently, demonstrating her stance.

Black Strange himself also showed a look of surprise and resistance.

He struggled to lift his head: "No...I...I've made a terrible mistake. I only want to accept punishment, and never again..."

But the observer completely ignored the objections of Azu and others, as well as the wishes of Black Strange himself.

He seemed to be there to announce a decision rather than to discuss it.

"This matter concerns the survival of all reality, and his strength and experience are necessary."

The observer finished speaking in a calm voice, then extended his hand.

As the observer reached out, the space around the Black Strange was instantly stripped away, as if it had become an independent glass box.

Wanda's shackles of chaos vanished instantly.

"No!!!" Wanda cried out in shock and anger, trying to stop the other party.

The powerful chaos magic blasted towards the observer, but upon approaching it, it seemed to hit an invisible wall and annihilated itself.

The observer glanced at Wanda, then, with the spatially isolated Black Strange in tow, took a step back and retreated into the still-open spatial ripples.

"Damn it! Leave him here!"

Azu roared and charged forward, his heat vision shooting towards it, but it was still unable to shake the spatial barrier that was about to disappear.

"Damn it! What on earth is that?!"

Ah Zu shouted in surprise and anger.

Wanda frowned after her chaos magic was stopped.

She could clearly sense that the other party had instantly traversed countless cosmic barriers and completely disappeared into the depths of the multiverse.

Tom squinted, the dark crystal in his left eye shimmering slightly, lost in thought.

Everyone was filled with anger and confusion.

The huge crisis that had been so hard to resolve ended in such an unexpected way, and the "spoils of war" were taken away with it!

……

Meanwhile, in the distant Marvel main universe.

In the cave of the Holy Mountain, Peter's consciousness crossed countless dimensional barriers and finally returned to his original form.

He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

Sleepwalking witchcraft puts a tremendous strain on the mind, especially the impact of Raven's awakened power at the last moment, which made him feel weak as well.

Peter is still a little bewildered by his eldest daughter Raven's appearance: red hair, bright eyes, and wings that blot out the sky, resembling a dark goddess descending to earth.

He knew that Raven was the daughter of the Trinity Demon and had great potential.

He also carefully guided her, helping her control the dark power she was born with, hoping she could walk a path different from that of her demonic father.

Stroking his chin, Peter remembered that Raven in his previous life had also exhibited a similar state.

One of Raven's greatest nightmares in her "past life" was discovering that her demonic father, Sangu, had other "children" besides her—the Seven Deadly Sins in human form.

Raven herself is not an ordinary half-demon; she is the embodiment of the original sin "pride."

When the cruel truth is revealed, and unable to resist the dark power of "pride" within her, Raven finally turns completely evil, transforming into a terrifying being that represents original sin itself—pride.

Raven, who awakens as "Pride," possesses unimaginable power.

She could even easily kill other equally powerful patriarchal brothers (such as Wrath, Greed, etc.) who came to stop her.

The power level in that form was so high that even the Earth itself could not withstand its existence for long.

"Was the form that Raven awakened just now... similar to 'Pride'?"

Peter pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

but……

Why did Raven maintain her composure?

In Peter's past life memories, once Raven embodies "pride," it almost means she completely loses herself and is dominated by the instinct of original sin.

But just now, he could clearly sense through the soul link that Raven's consciousness was still clear. She was even able to judge the Black Strange in a logical manner, her words filled with compassion rather than pure destructive desire.

Although its power was terrifying, it was not completely out of control.

This difference plunged Peter into deep thought.

"Is it because of my involvement?"

He unconsciously touched his chest, where the throbbing sensation from his deep connection with Raven's soul still lingered.

A part of my soul is inside Raven's body.

Could it be that her soul neutralized the destructive dark side of the original sin of 'pride', allowing Raven to retain self-awareness and emotions while gaining this power?
Peter was puzzled.

After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, he shook his head.

Forget it, I'll just go back and ask her.

And then there's Tom, who must have absorbed the Dark Book and some kind of dark power.

This kid is hiding a secret too...

These naughty kids are all such a handful!

Peter rubbed his temples, feeling that things had not only not been resolved, but had become even more troublesome.

Besides Raven and Tom's secret, there's also the biggest problem: the Watcher.

A brief image from a distant dimension appeared in Peter's mind—a short, bald creature taking away the Black Strange.

Before returning to that universe, Peter saw the Observer appear.

“Observer…”

Peter muttered to himself, his brow furrowed.

"This guy took Black Strange away, saying he needs his help."

Based on his knowledge of the multiverse from his previous life, Peter quickly made a guess: "Is it to deal with Ultron, who has obtained all the Infinity Stones and is slaughtering the multiverse?"

As far as he knows, in one of the Marvel multiverses, Ultron's life trajectory has undergone some changes.

It all started with Iron Man. In order to maintain global peace, Iron Man created the artificial intelligence Ultron and used the Time Stone to create Vision's body.

But Ultron developed his own ideas, believing that the only way to achieve peace was to destroy humanity.

After that, it took a different developmental path from the main universe.

Ultron acquired Vision's body and gained near-invincible power.

As he began to act, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man fell one after another, while Hawkeye and Black Widow escaped because they were out on a mission.

Ultron then activated nuclear weapons and launched them simultaneously around the world, wiping out almost all of humanity, leaving only a small fraction alive.

Ultron looked at the destroyed world with considerable satisfaction, because he felt that the world was finally at peace.

But the next second, Thanos attacked. His gauntlet already contained the Soul Stone, Power Stone, Time Stone, Space Stone, and Reality Stone, but it lacked the Mind Stone from Ultron's head.

Originally, it was thought that the two would have a big battle, but after Ultron saw Thanos's five Infinity Stones, he found it interesting and the next second, he directly cut Thanos in half.

A once-dominant cosmic powerhouse has now been reduced to a gem deliveryman.

Having obtained the six Infinity Stones, Ultron created his own Ultron Legion and began invading various planets.

Asgard, followed by Monarch, Sakaar, Ego, and many other planets, were destroyed one after another by Ultron with the six gems.

Finally, Ultron invaded Xandar and encountered Captain Marvel. Although Captain Marvel unleashed her full power, she was still unable to destroy Ultron, who possessed all six Infinity Stones.

In the end, Captain Marvel perished, and Ultron became the only remaining being in this universe.

Ultron initially thought that the destruction of the entire universe would bring him some peace of mind, but he soon discovered the existence of the Watchers and learned about the multiverse.

Peter recalled the information about Ultron and fell into deep thought.

The Observer's search for the Dark Strange suggests that he himself was also badly beaten up by Ultron.

This guy was clearly beaten to a pulp, but he still acted like he was doing something serious.

Peter shook his head and put those thoughts aside for the time being.

That's a problem that the observer Black Strange needs to face, and it's temporarily irrelevant to him and his family.

Peter stood up and stretched his stiff limbs.

With a creak, Peter pushed open the gate of the Holy Mountain and walked out.

The fresh air of the sacred mountain filled my lungs.

Outside the door, the King—the librarian of Kamar-Taj—and Monica Rambo, the head of S.W.O.R.D., were waiting anxiously.

The two had sensed unusually powerful energy fluctuations and dimensional oscillations beforehand, and were therefore extremely worried about Peter's condition.

"Mr. Patrick!"

When Wang saw Peter come out, he rushed forward, his chubby face full of worry.

"What just happened? I sensed a huge energy fluctuation..."

Peter waved his hand.

"It's alright now. A problem from another universe has been temporarily resolved. As for Stephen..."

He paused for a moment, then added, "He may need some time to handle the follow-up matters."

As he spoke, Peter looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds to see the infinitely vast multiverse.
