Judgement

In other words, Zane is nearly immune to all magical attacks.

Then there's the last ability of Duplication, which currently can only replicate weapons and items.

Does that mean in the future it might be able to replicate skills, or even anything and everything?

The so-called "no cost" likely refers to the fact that no raw materials are needed to duplicate an object.

Simply put, you just toss something into the "Magic Furnace."

Don't worry about it; there's a chance it will recreate an identical item.

And the success rate of forging is inversely proportional to the quality of the item.

In other words, the more powerful the item you throw in, the more likely it is to fail and turn into a pile of scrap.

Then even "King's Treasury" won't be able to repair it.

Also, only the original item can be duplicated.

This immediately quashes Zane's idea of giving everyone in his team an Infinity Gauntlet.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out later. At least I can start filling up the 'King's Treasury.'"

With this in mind, Zane slowly floated down from the high cliff, gently landing on the ground.

Before long, the concerned group rushed over, asking him all sorts of questions.

At that moment, Zane suddenly had a thought, raised his head to the fog-covered sky, and muttered:

"Heh, they've come already?"

Beyond the sky,

In the endless universe.

A colossal giant stood in the void, towering with his head in the heavens and his feet on the ground, his entire body filling the space.

This space was a world unto itself, also a bit bizarre. Looking outward, countless galaxies swirled and twisted around.

But like a kaleidoscope or a funhouse mirror, the outside scenes were strangely distorted.

The giant held a thick, gold-engraved book in his hand, muttering:

"Did 'Judgment' fail?"

"It seems he has immunity to soul attacks and time strikes."

"No wonder, that ambitious asteroid was killed by him."

"He's already collected all the Infinity Stones."

"That means he must be eliminated…"

The giant's thick finger landed on a red square character in the book, which clearly read: "Zane Sy, Guilty."

"Even though you can use the stones to be immune to my 'Judgment,' lower-dimensional beings can't resist the lock of a higher dimension."

After speaking, the giant extended his palm, penetrating the boundary of the void, pressing down towards a specific location.

The surrounding space-time twisted as if drawn into a powerful vortex, forming a glowing tornado.

"Initiate 'Cosmic Judgment Order.'"

"Who's nearby? The two closest ones, go over and make sure he's killed!"

A vast voice echoed across the universe.

Before long, two other voices responded:

"Yes, Judge!"

The galaxy sparkled, with endless swirling light streams, seemingly hiding countless cosmic secrets.

The Ω-3-4021 star system was a rare treasure trove of immense energy within the main universe of the Marvel world.

The diameter of the entire star system stretched over several hundred million light-years.

In other words, even the fastest thing in the universe, light, would take hundreds of millions of years to travel from one end to the other.

This size is several million times larger than the Milky Way.

Likewise, the number of lifeforms living and thriving in this star system far outstrips those of the Milky Way.

Various civilizations flourished, any of which could instantly destroy Earth if placed there.

However, not long ago, on the outskirts of this system, a healthy star suddenly experienced a mysterious gravitational collapse.

In an instant, it decayed into a white dwarf and then collapsed into a black hole, opening a gaping mouth and swallowing all the planets that had orbited it.

It was as if someone had dug a bottomless black pit in the vastness of space with a giant shovel.

One by one, more stellar systems followed suit.

Like playing whack-a-mole, every time a shining star appeared in the Ω-3-4021 system, it was hammered down.

And, most importantly, the strikes never missed.

As for the species living in those systems, some stubbornly resisted the tragic and futile fate.

But even when they pooled the entire planet's power, they couldn't identify the source of this mysterious force that so clearly defied the laws of science.

Only a small number of the clever ones managed to escape a certain death.

Now, this once brilliant and glorious top-tier cosmic system had finally become a desolate death zone, filled with black holes that consumed everything in their path.

"Buzz… that foolish Titan, I spared him once, thinking he could be useful, but he's still useless."

"I had him reduce the universe's unnecessary resource waste, and even now, the results are minimal."

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had to wait a full million years to indulge myself like this…"

"Only a star system this large could serve as my personal bathhouse."

"So relaxing…"

In the now dead Ω-3-4021 star system, a colossal giant lay at its center.

Like a person lounging in their own swimming pool, he soaked in comfort.

The energy-consuming black holes around him expanded and contracted like bath sponges, scratching his itch.

From head to toe, the giant was clad in fiery red armor, with a helmet shaped like a piercing sword.

His armor was covered in countless vents, greedily sucking in the annihilation energy produced by the collapsing star systems.

"Ah, being at such a high level of existence is such a headache!"

"I can't just descend into this fragile universe whenever I please."

At that moment, a thought seemed to echo in his mind, to which he casually responded.

Lying in the middle of the darkened star system, he turned his head to look outside.

A swirling, colorful tornado-like projection came into view.

"Not bad, just two or three star systems… It'll pass by the time I stretch."

"Perfect timing, I'm full, time to digest."

"From Asgard's α-5-7783 system… Earth, huh?"

"To have grown so independently in such a remote place, it'll make for a decent sparring match to aid digestion."

"But, Earth… that name sounds kind of familiar…"

"Maybe those boring Fate entities went there and spread their seeds."

"Rather than investing effort to nurture something for later harvest, it's better to wait a million years like I did and eat my fill all at once."

"Destruction is the most fitting term for this universe right now!"
