Chapter 94 - The Latecomer Hero

As soon as Heisenberg finished speaking, Spider-Man in the crowd suddenly froze.

Tilting his head, he whispered,

"Isn't Heisenberg's most worthy opponent Einstein?"

In an instant…

Countless Avengers: ...

Their glares made Spider-Man flinch.

"OK, OK, my bad, sorry, I'm always like this, my mind wanders, maybe it's a spider thing, or my powers?

OK, I'll stay quiet!"

Spider-Man, under the gaze of countless people, finally fell silent.

The silence lasted for about ten seconds, and the dark lines on Heisenberg's forehead gradually faded. He raised his hands and firmly gripped Thanos' massive head.

Then, he stared into Thanos' eyes and suddenly twisted his head 180 degrees.

Crack!

This twist even rippled the air.

It showed just how much force Heisenberg had used!

Even without the power to resist, Thanos wasn't someone any ordinary person could kill.

Even with his skull and spine completely shattered, Thanos cast one last expectant glance at Heisenberg.

Moments later, Thanos fell silent, his pupils turning the pitch-black of the dead.

Heisenberg released his head, floating above the corpse, muttering to himself,

"Let your enemy die with greater grandeur and dignity, so your victory shines brighter!"

He said this, his cold gaze sweeping the crowd, his sharp eyes circling the group.

Even knowing Heisenberg was an ally, many Avengers tensed and gripped their weapons under his stare.

Ignoring the brave cowards, Heisenberg sighed deeply,

"It's a shame. The great enemy is gone, but the despicable battle continues."

As his words fell, he leaped into the air, instantly hovering 300 meters above.

His gaze turned to the crater's edge, where a figure shimmered with four lights, sneering coldly at him.

In the next moment, Ebony Maw in the distance abruptly placed his right hand on his chest, his fingers forming a sword-like gesture.

He slashed forward with his "sword," and a violent spatial ripple roared toward Heisenberg!

This was Ebony Maw's unified application of the Space Stone and Reality Stone—using the Reality Stone's power to make the impossible possible, and the Space Stone's power as a key, forcing a dimensional-level attack.

Facing Ebony Maw's seemingly casual but full-powered strike, Heisenberg scoffed, muttering softly,

"System, collect payment!"

As soon as he spoke, he issued a series of commands to the system in his mind.

"First, upgrade my bloodline to the level of Rao, the Kryptonian God!"

"Consumed 240 million Origin Substance!"

"Next, upgrade my body to the level of the Origin Universe and fully merge it with my Origin Universe soul!"

"Consumed 1.25 billion Origin Substance!"

"Solidify my dimensional level, making me immune to any dimensional attacks!"

"Apologies, insufficient Origin Substance. Please collect more…"

"Uh…"

The suddenly cold prompt made Heisenberg awkwardly bite his lip. He continued in his mind,

"How much is needed?"

"Defending against 2D attacks requires 486.4 billion Origin Substance. Defending against 1D attacks requires 2^92 Origin Substance."

Heisenberg's heart sank. He blinked helplessly and told the system,

"Alright, leave the remaining Origin Substance for now!"

The system instantly executed Heisenberg's orders, and in the next moment, Heisenberg truly transcended.

Rao, the Kryptonian God, was the strongest Kryptonian lifeform of ancient times. His bloodline now etched mysterious Kryptonian runes even into Heisenberg's bones.

Then, the fusion of his Origin soul and Origin body brought him closer to transcending the 3D realm.

Of course, Heisenberg knew all too well how far he was from achieving 4D life…

About as far as becoming a Golden Superman!

To Golden Superman, 3D and 4D lifeforms were equally weak!

So, aware of his limits, Heisenberg enjoyed his newfound power while maintaining his rationality.

And rationally, he wouldn't let any spatial energy hit him directly!

Heisenberg suddenly extended his hand, his invisible bio-energy field materializing at a speed twice as fast as before.

Facing the approaching spatial rift, he desperately separated the strong and weak nuclear forces within the field.

He was trying to solve the spatial problem his own way.

But unfortunately, after just three months of practice, his bio-energy field couldn't effectively block the spatial rift created by the Space Stone.

And using his body to resist a spatial rift…

Heisenberg wasn't foolish; he never considered such a reckless approach!

So, he dodged lightly, avoiding the spatial rift entirely.

His neural reaction speed skyrocketed under his control, and the world around him slowed to a crawl.

Feeling the spatial rift extending toward Earth behind him, Heisenberg finally understood a sentiment Superman often felt:

I can't dodge the enemy's attack, because if I do and it hits Earth…

Earth would be gone in an instant!

Yes.

If this spatial rift behind Heisenberg reached Earth, even without forming a black hole, it could easily pierce through the planet, even the core!

So, to prevent Earth's destruction, Heisenberg had only one option:

Destroy Ebony Maw before the rift reached Earth, reclaim the Infinity Stones, and close the troublesome rift!

With his plan set, he accelerated instantly, appearing before Ebony Maw in the blink of an eye!

What terror could a truly serious Kryptonian God unleash?

Even with four Infinity Stones, Ebony Maw was no match!

Heisenberg, using his speed far surpassing any lifeform, appeared beside Ebony Maw, gripping his right hand under his shocked gaze!

Then, Heisenberg smirked, his right hand forming a blade, slashing at Ebony Maw's gauntlet-clad forearm!

In just an instant, Ebony Maw lost control of the stones!

After all, Ebony Maw's body wasn't as strong as Thanos's; he was a mage who'd misallocated his skill points!

What's the point of a mage investing so much in spellcasting? Shouldn't he have focused on basic spells, then mastered Charge and Half-Moon Slash for close combat?

With poor close-combat skills and weak physical stats, being grappled by a top-tier warrior like Heisenberg meant instant death!

Though his right hand was severed, Ebony Maw, in Heisenberg's slowed world, couldn't even scream.

Heisenberg's eyes widened, his intense heat vision shooting straight at Ebony Maw's head!

In the next instant, Ebony Maw's head turned to ash, his fleeting ambition vanishing like smoke.

But it wasn't over; the defeated Ebony Maw had left Earth a big problem.

Heisenberg, holding the gauntlet, turned to face the accelerating spatial rift.

Tsk, tsk, dealing with this is still troublesome for him now!

If Heisenberg were Silver Superman, he could freeze time and space with his freeze breath, solving it easily.

If he were Super Kryptonian, he'd control space inherently.

But now, as a fledgling Kryptonian God, his power hadn't caught up to his status.

So…

Heisenberg sighed, realizing he'd need external help.

He moved to don the Infinity Gauntlet, thinking, What created the rift will solve it.

But as he reached for it, a golden flash caught his eye.

The light moved so fast even Heisenberg struggled to see it clearly!

But he knew exactly who it was:

Captain Marvel!

The legendary woman who could lead a starship to FTL speeds with her body!

An undefeated cosmic myth since her debut.

An epic figure inheriting and elevating the Kree's Supreme Nova title.

And… a race-loving idealist who barely cared for Earth's safety, despite coming from it.

To Earthlings, she had another endearing nickname:

The Latecomer Hero!

No one understood this nickname better than Nick Fury.

Captain Marvel sped to the spatial rift's forefront, her body erupting with dazzling light.

Her holy aura maxed out, a spectacle that made Heisenberg envious.

Her bloodline's Nova Power rapidly gathered in her arms.

Crossing her arms, she braced against the 2-kilometer-long spatial rift.

In that instant, her Nova Power clashed with the spatial forces.

Her holy flames flickered, but the rift slowly retracted.

Finally, with a roar, she shattered the spatial rift entirely.

Seeing this, Heisenberg smiled, withdrawing his hand from the gauntlet.

Unless necessary, he preferred not using external power.

Around the crater, with Captain Marvel resolving the rift and Heisenberg defeating Ebony Maw, reclaiming the gauntlet, the Avengers erupted in celebration after a brief stupor!

The remaining scattered forces of Thanos' army posed no threat, especially with Thanos' portal destroyed, leaving no reinforcements.

The leaders began gathering their teams, gradually moving toward Captain Marvel and Heisenberg.

Heisenberg, holding the gauntlet, approached Carol.

But Carol, true to her name, stared in shock at Thanos' lifeless body nearby.

"How is this possible? Thanos was already dead!"
