He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

The woman looked bewildered.

She didn't know what happened.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, I seemed to hear cries for help.

Then, she had a premonition.

Calamity is imminent.

For the world, and even more so for ourselves.

This was a catastrophe that changed my destiny.

It's still a long way off before it ends.

After yesterday's chapter was released, many people in the comments felt that the story was about to end.

Actually, the story has only just begun, and it's far from over.

When I said it would definitely be finished this year, I meant before the Lunar New Year, not in December.

Moreover, this is based on the premise of writing at least 180,000 words per month.

Chthon is indeed a powerful boss in Marvel, but there are many others stronger than him, even among the Eternals.

Then, I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few words.

The power levels of characters in Marvel are not specifically defined like on the internet. Terms like "Celestial-level," "single-universe-level," and "multiverse-level" are all classifications made by fans.

In reality, Marvel only has Earth events, cosmic events, and multiverse events, not character-based events.

But this is a webpage, so there will be specific classifications.

Therefore, some comic book enthusiasts, upon seeing the later classifications such as "Celestial Father Level" and "Single Universe Level," started criticizing the idea that "Celestial Father" is more powerful than "Single Universe Level."

I know that "Heavenly Father" refers to certain specific groups of people whom God governs, and their power ranges from planets to the multiverse. But here, "Heavenly Father" is just a classification of power levels. Their influence extends from the solar system to several star systems; the specifics will be defined when the later powerful figures appear.

Next, let's talk about the system's power settings.

The system's strength is not solely determined by its destructive power; this has been stated many times before.

Furthermore, it's not always true that someone with lower strength will lose to someone with higher strength; it depends on the specific circumstances.

Some people think it's unreasonable that Rokudo Mukuro (C9) forced Dio (B9) into such a desperate situation. Then why don't you see that Dio forced the entire Varia to retreat the moment he appeared?

In fact, if Dio hadn't been trying to recruit them as his subordinates by immediately resorting to killing, Balian would have been instantly killed without even being able to resist.

This boils down to issues of capability, intelligence, and initiative.

There are many unexpected factors in battle; it's not simply a matter of comparing data.

Otherwise, what's the point of fighting?

Why not just show the data and compare wins and losses directly?

Also, some friends who frequent dog forums shouldn't use their methods to compare this book to theirs. My book uses a different standard for evaluating combat power than the calculation methods used there.

I've been hanging out in the Wangba forum for over two years now. It's a place where a group of people who love to debate create a unified calculation method for comparisons.

But there are many places for debate, several domestically and even more internationally, and each place has its own evaluation criteria.

You can play your own game on your own turf, fine, but why use it as the standard for all debates and then go out to enforce the law?

After leaving the dog bar, who will recognize you guys?

Didn't you guys read the rules of the dog bar? You're not allowed to go out and enforce the law?

That may sound harsh, but that's the truth.

The calculation method used by Wangba is ridiculous. It's just comparing the output of characters and then stacking them together.

By their standards, 486 would be instantly killed by so-called "brick-breaking" level fighters, and wouldn't even be able to defeat well-trained soldiers; Otto would also be considered trash.

However, in the Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- series, Subaru is the strongest character besides Reiwa.

The other storylines also fully illustrate how powerful Subaru can be when he abandons empathy and resorts to any means necessary.

Otto also gained recognition from many people within those lines.

Especially in the Gluttony route, according to the personality analysis of the other people simulated by Subaru, everyone believes that, apart from Leo, Otto is the most difficult person to deal with and the one who needs to be dealt with first.

Its power and priority are higher than those of Roswaal, the kingdom's first mage, Emilia, the elven sorcerer, and the Shield of the Sanctuary.

Otto being jokingly called the "God of War" by netizens is not a joke, but because his achievements deserve this title.

Furthermore, according to the calculations of the forum, Eternity could reach the ceiling. But in Marvel, Eternity is on the multiverse level.

Although Eternal's performance and setting are on par with the omnipotent universe, his position is overshadowed by the omnipotent Living Tribunal.

There are also shows like A Certain Magical Index that emphasize compatibility and information. There are plenty of cases where a lower-level character defeats a higher-level one. But the fan club doesn't consider the positioning of the work and only uses their own set of calculations, which leads to many characters' strengths far exceeding their positioning in the work.

Moreover, that place now stinks.

In the past, people would seriously debate and share valuable information. Now, it has become a matter of fans nitpicking over words to elevate the status of their favorite characters and belittle the characters they dislike, with all sorts of double standards, further lowering or elevating the original characters' status.

Back when the group was still active, some people would ask me questions using the calculation methods and stacking boxes from the Wangba forum, and I would refute them with the theories of Magneto, Professor X, and soldiers wearing anti-psychic helmets.

Professor X, who is completely indestructible, can instantly kill Magneto in a head-on fight, but he can't beat a soldier wearing a Psychic helmet. So, this soldier must be able to instantly kill Magneto, right? Or, the Psychic helmet can instantly kill Magneto.

But the truth is that even 10,000 soldiers wearing psychic helmets couldn't defeat Magneto in a head-on battle.

No one answered.

Even after the group was disbanded, no one responded.

So don't try to use those standards from the Wangba forum to spout nonsense. That kind of system doesn't consider the plot; it only looks at the characters' established traits and is only suitable for comparisons between characters, not for battles within a storyline.

Let me also mention my physical condition.

There are basically no problems now. Just to prevent a relapse, I haven't been writing much. I go to bed early and get up early every day, go for walks, and maintain a regular diet.

Once everything is fine after this month, we'll resume normal updates.

Chapter 196 Inner Struggle

New York, Manhattan.

Block 20.

A certain hospital.

Strange is performing surgery on a client.

This client is the father of the CEO of a large corporation. He has been diagnosed with cerebral capillary blockage and needs to undergo a delicate surgery to remove and modify the blockage.

The critical moment of the surgery.

A voice from the depths of my being echoed in my mind.

Strange paused, his hand stilling.

He had never heard this language before, yet he inexplicably understood what it meant.

However, understanding is one thing.

But I felt confused.

Doomsday, SOS, Savior...

What is this all about?

"Stephen!"

"Stephen!"

"Stephen!"

The final, noticeably higher pitch woke Strange.

He snapped out of his daze, looked apologetically at the other nurses and assistants, and said, "Sorry, I probably didn't get enough rest before, I was a little distracted just now."

Is this a time to let your mind wander?

His assistant looked at Strange in disbelief and said, "Mr. Stephen, you, you... killed this patient!"

"What!?"

Strange was startled and looked down sharply.

The scalpel was seen piercing through the severed blood vessel and into the brain.

The electrocardiogram showed a completely flat surface.

……

Similar things happen all over the universe.

People with unlimited potential or special abilities have heard the world's cry for help.

They can all understand the world's cries for help.

Some people didn't understand what was going on and looked completely bewildered. Others probably guessed what was happening and looked either serious or indifferent.

But most people knew that the wind had picked up.

This universe is about to get lively.

……

Monaco.

A five-star hotel.

Gu Qing sat on the windowsill, her right hand supporting her chin, staring blankly outside.

After a moment, he came to his senses and sighed deeply: "I never imagined that the world would ask me for help."

Just now, he heard a voice from the unseen world.

It was a voice that came from the space between reality and unreality, a voice that humans could never understand.
