Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

This timeline runs through the universe, and no matter who is in the universe or where they are, their fate has been shifted, only to varying degrees.

Asgard is one of the areas most directly affected.

Because of the connection between Earth and Asgard, and because of Matthew's own future entanglement with Asgard.

"So this king of the gods also saw the future of Asgard and wanted to change its fate?"

Matthew countered with a question.

"Perhaps. If it were before, he could only go with the flow. Now that the established order has been broken, there is chaos, but also hope."

Matthew's eyes flickered slightly.

Good heavens, judging from what the Ancient One said, the King of the Gods is about to make a move.

Think about it too.

In the original timeline, Asgard was in a terrible state; basically, everyone who could die was wiped out.

Ragnarok was caused by Odin, his wife Frigga, Hela, and the fire giant Surtur. A huge number of people died in Asgard, and only a few hundred people escaped in spaceships.

The exact number of Asgardian troops and civilians at that time is uncertain, but it was at least over ten thousand.

The most tragic thing was that they were intercepted by Thanos's army as soon as they escaped by boat.

Heimdall, Loki died in battle, although Loki later survived and embarked on the path to becoming the god of stories.

But overall, by the time they reached Earth, only between 100 and 200 Asgardians remained.

They became a minority group on Earth, and the last town they lived in even used this title to develop tourism and make money.

When Thanos snapped his fingers, the population was reduced by half again.

It was absolutely appalling.

Thor survived, but spent several years in a state of depravity, becoming the fat Thor.

This is a catastrophe for the entire universe, and also an inevitable path for Thor to achieve greatness and maturity.

But did Odin want Asgard to become like this?

I definitely don't want that.

Odin, Frigga, and a few other warriors were able to live on in Valhalla in another form, but this was only a small minority.

Except for certain necessary moments, they remain in Valhalla and cannot see Thor.

For Thor, this was practically the same as being dead.

Thor's growth came at a price too heavy, so heavy that even a king like Odin would suffer.

Previously, the timeline was fixed, and Odin had no power to change it. But now it's different. He can change it without causing any negative consequences, so Odin won't sit idly by and watch the future repeat itself.

Just at this time.

A powerful aura surged forth, and the Ancient One and Matthew immediately sensed it.

Gu Yi had just picked up her teacup when she had to put it down helplessly.

"I was planning to have a good rest today."

"Dormammu, your anger hasn't subsided yet."

Matthew's pupils glowed red, and an overwhelming aura of dominance was brewing within him.

Seeing Matthew's reaction, Gu Yi smiled and asked, "Want to give it a try?"

"I've been resting for too long."

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples spread through the space around Matthew and the Ancient One. In a flash, they found themselves in a colorful starry sky.

In the vast and boundless starry sky, planets and meteorites drift by, but they have long been eroded by darkness and are now broken and desolate, with many seemingly crystalline structures forming jagged shelters on their surfaces.

There was not a trace of life.

Matthew and the Ancient One stood on the surface of a desolate planet, looking up at the sky.

All that could be seen was an enormous head appearing in the starry sky.

Composed of dark energy, it blots out the sky, and its two empty pupils emit colorful light, full of strangeness. A single glance seems to corrupt one with its powerful force.

This enormous dark head is none other than Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension.

Dormammu initially just wanted to vent his frustration by challenging the Ancient One to a duel, but he didn't expect that his old rival would have another person by his side.

When I saw Matthew.

Dormammu's earth-shattering roar ripped through the starry sky.

The immense sound waves and energy blasted countless planets along the way.

"It's you, you damned human brat! I never expected you to appear in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dormammu made no move, but terrifying energy surged, and Matthew immediately felt an unprecedented pressure coming towards him.

But these are just the surface; Dormammu's true killing move is the curse hidden beneath this immense pressure.

If Matthew isn't careful, he'll be in serious trouble if he's chosen by the curse.

However, with Matthew's current magical knowledge, he could easily see through Dormammu's dirty tricks. A golden ripple spread across his body, and the curse was wiped away.

"Dormammu, are you so happy to see me? You even gave me a gift."

Matthew said to Dormammu with a smile.

The sound was very soft, yet it was clearly transmitted to Dormammu.

"Human brat, you're so lax in front of the great Dormammu! You're asking for death!" Dormammu's voice crackled with rage as his underhanded tactics failed.

However, his rage did not make Matthew lower his guard.

Because he knew very well that this was just Dormammu's camouflage.

To conceal the cunning beneath his tyranny.

"Dormammu, let me have some fun with you today."

Matthew's expression turned serious.

Despite the suppression of the dimensional barrier greatly weakening Dormammu's power, he is still at the pinnacle of a single universe.

The knowledge accumulated over countless years is something Matthew cannot match.

This battle far surpasses his previous confrontation with Mephisto when he stormed into Hell.

Mephisto wouldn't attack him because he was wary of the Ancient One, but Dormammu wouldn't be so lenient.

If given the chance, Dormammu would not hesitate to kill him.

Even if it comes at a price.

Rumble!!

Facing Dormammu head-on, Matthew dared not be careless and instantly unleashed his full power. A flash of red light appeared, and a terrifying, overwhelming Conqueror's Haki erupted in an instant.

A surge of crimson and black lightning crackled, and the planets floating in the surrounding starry sky began to tremble violently.

Dormammu was enveloped by Conqueror's Haki and felt the impact from the Direct Will.

Dormammu laughed wildly, his dark energy churning and becoming extremely terrifying.

"You brat, I've already seen your abilities. You think such a weak will can shake the great Dark Lord?"

As he spoke, an even more terrifying force of will erupted from Dormammu.

He actually clashed directly with Matthew on a spiritual level.

boom!!

The collision of two powerful wills caused the starry sky to tremble and distort, and countless meteorites were annihilated and shattered in the process.

The turbulent air currents also blew many planets away.

The Ancient One's figure appeared and disappeared, seemingly illusory, and the aftershocks of the collision did not have any effect on her.

He simply waved his folding fan, contentedly watching the battle unfold.

“Ah, what a magnificent sight!” Gu Yi exclaimed, then her face lit up with excitement.

Seeing Matthew's Conqueror's Haki ability again was truly amazing.

The power of this combination of pure will and vitality is truly fascinating.

The Ancient One could tell that the growth path of this Conqueror's Haki was somewhat special and also a bit idealistic.

It can be said that as long as Matthew has unwavering faith, his ability will also become stronger.

Most importantly, when ordinary life forms face Matthew's Conqueror's Haki, their will will be crushed and they will die if their soul life level is not high enough.

A very practical and powerful ability.

Unfortunately, this time Matthew was facing Dormammu.

"As expected, it didn't have much effect."

Matthew could sense that he had fallen behind in the clash of pure will, but he wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, he thought it was only natural.

There was a difference of several levels in the life level between him and Dormammu.

If Conqueror's Haki could work, he would have to suspect that Dormammu was plotting something.

It was just a simple greeting.

It also measures the gap between him and Dormammu.

The initial collision confirmed a slightly larger difference.

But that's what makes it interesting.

Matthew's figure suddenly transformed into a golden beam of light, shooting straight into the starry sky and instantly traversing countless kilometers. Under the unobstructed, straight-line impact, the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit was fully unleashed.

It traveled at the speed of light and then stopped tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Floating silently, it gazes at the dark head in front of it, which is comparable in size to a planet.

The opponent was surrounded by energy clouds, creating a sense of oppression.

"It's really big."

Matthew seemed insignificant in comparison. After a slight sigh, he raised his hand.

Blue and white lightning exploded in his hand.

Matthew is going to give Dormammu an even bigger welcome gift.

It exploded with a burst of electricity.

Since developing his gravitational extension capabilities, he has consciously set his sights on creating black holes as his next development goal.

During his studies, he learned that the essence of a black hole is not the accumulation of matter, but the ultimate gravitational collapse.

If gravity is strong enough, even pure energy or pure electromagnetic fields can be forcibly compressed to their extreme density, distorting spacetime, locking light, and creating a mimicry horizon.

An invisible gravitational force was suddenly released, causing the starry sky to tremble slightly. There was no other movement, only the invisible gravitational field quietly spreading out. Meteorites and cosmic dust, near and far, deviated from their trajectories and flowed rapidly toward Dormammu.

Layers of gravitational pressure pressed down from all directions, continuously compressing the violent and restless electromagnetic forces of thunder.

The originally chaotic and explosive lightning was forcibly gathered, squeezed, and piled up, and the energy density increased at an alarming rate.

The light at the center of the starry sky dimmed rapidly, and the high-energy electromagnetic force was suppressed and could not overflow or be released.

Meteorites, near and far, were merely passively dragged along by the dust, drifting slowly with the extremely strong gravitational field. Even the dark dimensional clouds surrounding Dormammu were slowly pulled by this inward force.

Dormammu felt a jolt; he sensed danger.

Before Dormammu could make any move, his dark energy was seen drawing in the surrounding clouds.

In the space in front of him, matter was constantly being squeezed and concentrated towards the center.

"Damn it, what did you do?"

Dormammu roared as his energy was being drawn away by the immense suction force that was being created, so he immediately contracted his energy.

As it continued to compress, an energy head comparable in size to a planet disappeared.

It transformed into a human form nearly two meters tall, with a thick, dark red muscle outline on its upper body, as hard as rock forged by high temperatures.

The head was entirely composed of surging flames, waves of fire ranging from orange-red to golden yellow. It had no facial features, only a blinding white light emanating from the center of its head, like a gaping maw of an abyss, or a single, empty eye that devoured everything.
