The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

"Death?"

Yang Le frowned. "I don't quite understand. Logically, you should be able to resurrect yourself, right?"

"This is Robert's wish." Sentry pointed to his head. "Although his consciousness only occupies a small part, he is, after all, Robert of this universe. I am just a mistake that shouldn't be here. I should respect his wishes."

"A terrifying experiment, the pain brought by the physical mutation, the unvented anger, and the endless whispers—all these entangle Robert's soul. He is already suffering terribly."

Sentry spread his hands, gesturing for Yang Le to look around, before continuing, "Look around you. These are all caused by us. Most of the regret Robert left behind stems from these. The enhancement brought by the Super Serum makes him unable to ignore the painful cries of the people in distress. Every minute and every second of being alive is torment to him."

"But Robert has the power to fix all of this," Yang Le interrupted Sentry's long speech. "Even if he has lost most of his energy, I can help him. It's not difficult."

Sentry shook his head and said, "Blindly repairing the past will not lead to any progress. I know you have very strong power, even stronger than us, but that way of using power is incorrect."

"We shouldn't dwell on the past; we should look to the future. How to find a way out of disaster and stand up again is the path that life should take."

"It may sound a bit boastful, but friend..." Sentry smiled, slowly descended, and placed his hand on Yang Le's shoulder. "After accepting that great power, we shouldn't look at everything with the eyes of ordinary people."

After Sentry finished speaking, he raised his arm and pointed to one side. Yang Le followed the direction of Sentry's finger and saw the upper body of a girl. Presumably, before time stopped, the girl had just climbed out of the ground.

"Take a closer look," Sentry whispered.

Yang Le didn't understand, but he did as he was told. Although the Clock King, as a mechanical lifeform, didn't have special vision, he could still barely see the other person's appearance at this distance.

The girl had a youthful figure, and her chestnut-colored hair made Yang Le feel extremely familiar. After careful identification, Yang Le was surprised to find that this person was Gwen's friend, Kitty, in this universe.

Kitty's condition was very strange, like a game character stuck in a terrain bug. Her upper body was sticking out of a stone slab without any gaps, looking incredibly bizarre.

"That's Kitty. Has she awakened her mutant abilities?"

"Yes, Kitty Pryde, one of the main members of the X-Men. In the 616 universe, her name is very well-known, but in this universe, she has only just awakened her superpowers."

Sentry sensed a gaze and immediately turned his head, finding Yang Le looking at him with a suspicious expression. Understanding, he immediately explained.

"I am made from the Sentry in your mind. You might not have noticed, but in the process of constructing me, you subconsciously instilled some knowledge that you thought I should know, so I know a lot of the heroic knowledge in your mind. This is what I'm going to say next."

Sentry's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Mr. Yang Le, I know that this universe was created by you, but you may have never properly 'looked' at this world you created."

"What does that mean?" Yang Le looked at Sentry in confusion. He had always looked at the world with his eyes open.

"This 'look' is completely different from the word we usually say, Mr. Yang Le," Sentry shook his head. "Think carefully about why this universe was created."

"It was because of the meddling Beyonders. I cleaned up their mess, used a portion of the Beyonders to repair the damaged multiverse, and used the remaining energy to create this 9527 universe."

Yang Le recalled, but didn't find anything noteworthy.

"Repairing the multiverse is the key," Sentry pointed out the focus of Yang Le's words just now. "The Beyonders killed many gods for their experiments, including the embodiment of the universe—Eternity."

After being reminded by Sentry, Yang Le suddenly understood. He remembered that the Beyonders' everything-must-die experiment did indeed completely kill Eternity, and at the same time ended the longest-existing Seventh Universe.

"Looks like you noticed," Sentry nodded in satisfaction. "That's right. Although you stopped the Beyonders' plan, the Seventh Universe had already ended the moment Eternity died. Your subsequent actions weren't repairing the dead universe, but helping the Eighth Universe to be born."

"It's just that you don't seem to be aware of this in your subconscious. This led to the fact that although the Eighth Universe is a newly born universe, its avatar is still Eternity. In human terms, you personally delivered the Eighth Universe."

"That sounds like I'm pulling an old man who finally retired back to work," Yang Le scratched his head. "Is this a good thing? Why do I feel a sense of guilt for exploiting an old man after hearing you say that?"

"Whether it's correct or not, I don't know. I only know that the 'person' who communicated with me is very happy."

Sentry was amused by Yang Le's words. Just as Yang Le was thinking about who the 'person' in his words was, Sentry gestured for him to look behind him.

After Yang Le turned his head, he saw a magnificent figure. Judging by his appearance, he was just a man wearing an exaggerated crown and a cloak, but his 'skin' was too conspicuous.

Just like the X-Men, the man's body also had various planets and stars slowly operating. Looking at him was like seeing countless universes. Half of his blurred face seemed to be probing out from countless celestial bodies, watching Yang Le with an expression of neither joy nor sorrow.

"Eternity," Yang Le slowly spoke the name of the god before him.

That's right. The one before him was one of the four abstract entities representing the entire Marvel Multiverse, and also the strongest among the abstract entities, Eternity.

"It is I," Eternity gently opened his mouth. Perhaps because Eternity's size was as big as him at this time, Yang Le didn't feel anything special.

"I still don't understand. What exactly made you come here in person and have contact with Robert?"

Yang Le asked his question. At the same time, he also had a little guess in his heart. Could it be that the universe he created was not up to standard? But this alone wouldn't be enough for Eternity to make a trip in person, right?
