Eson

"Experience this gap carefully, then work hard to bridge it."

"This universe is far larger than you imagine. Only those with the greatest power can stand at the very top, looking down upon all."

Zane spoke with passion, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp as he coldly stared at the towering Destruction God before him, who stood several times taller than him.

"Now, it's my turn to step in."

The Destruction God's face turned ashen as he listened to Zane's words, his entire body, covered in cold, gleaming armor, emitting visible ripples.

At that moment, a black hole suddenly appeared above everyone.

"Oh ho ho! Little lab rats! I, Eson, the grand searcher of the Celestials' group, have returned!"

A six-eyed giant wielding a long mechanical trident swiftly emerged from the black hole.

"Your actions just now have offended me!"

"So, I'll give you a proper punishment, to teach you what's right and what's wrong!"

Without a sound, Eson vanished as soon as he exited the black hole. The only thing left was the distortion of light at the closed black hole's mouth.

The demoralized Rocket still had his back to the group, while Groot, next to him, suddenly shuddered and rapidly grew larger, wrapping his arms around Rocket.

"Over here!"

Seeing this, Lorna quickly pulled away from Zane's embrace, wielding the glowing Infinity Gauntlet, and shot up into the air above Rocket and Groot.

Boom!

A brilliant, powerful punch followed by a tear in the void appeared. Eson, just emerging from the rift, looked at Lorna and chuckled:

"The Infinity Stones? Trying to trap me in time and space?"

"Unfortunately, I am Eson, the universe's explorer! There isn't a place I haven't been!"

"That Infinity Gauntlet is useless in your hands..."

Swoosh!

Lorna's punch, which had never missed before, hit nothing. The space where Eson had been returned to normal.

"I've held the remnants of the Big Bang."

"I've seen the depths of black holes."

Silently, Eson tore open another rift and reappeared.

Light flickered around Lorna as she instantly closed in on the face of the three-meter-tall giant.

A faint ripple.

Eson smiled mockingly. His body became intangible, and he passed right through Lorna's attack, walking slowly toward Bastis.

"My dimension is far beyond yours, and as a Celestial skilled in spatial laws, little mouse, you should stop wasting your effort."

With that, he flicked his trident towards Bastis. The panther's fur stood on end, feeling an irresistible force pulling him.

"Come here, little kitty! Come into my embrace, and I'll take you back to feed you the finest entropy energy in the universe."

Swoosh!

At that moment, a shadow flickered.

Swoosh!

A black scythe of death sliced through the void, aiming directly at the head of the explorer Eson.

"Searcher, huh? Don't forget, I'm still here."

Zane, his eyes glowing red, swung the scythe of death as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"What kind of cursed scythe is this!"

Eson's eyes twitched as he hurriedly retracted his mechanical trident. His figure flickered and vanished.

Bastis felt the terrifying pull disappear and let out a sigh of relief.

In the next moment, Eson reappeared in midair, looking down at Zane with a sheepish grin:

"Zane Sy, right?"

"A self-taught god on the rundown planet Earth. Compared to the other lab rats, you do seem a bit different."

"Too bad the Judge has issued a Cosmic Judgment Order, and you have no choice but to die."

"So, even if we two executors have any other motives, we cannot spare your life."

"Oh ho ho, for the sake of the universe's balance, I'll just have to sacrifice my curiosity…"

"Oh, is that so?" Zane smirked, clearly unimpressed.

"I'm also equally curious about the two of you!"

"But only when you're dead, and I'm after your souls!"

As Zane finished speaking, the red light in his eyes surged.

Lines, sharp and distinct, appeared all over Eisen's body.

"You have too many weaknesses!"

Eson suddenly heard Zane's cold words, and his body involuntarily trembled.

"Huh? What kind of gaze is that?"

"Didn't sleep well after pulling an all-nighter? But why is it so terrifying?"

He glanced at Zane's eyes, filled with a glowing red light, and muttered to himself:

'Why do I feel like I'm completely exposed, as if I've been stripped bare and am at someone's mercy?'

'No, this is only my projection! He can't possibly attack my real body!'

As he said this, Eisen's voice suddenly grew louder.

"So, what do I have to fear!?"

"Really?" Zane said mischievously.

"You keep calling us lab rats, but the real coward here is you."

"Do you think I don't know?"

"After you ran away just now, you didn't dare reveal your true body, likely because you noticed the Infinity Gauntlet in Lorna's hands, right?"

"So now you only dare to use a space-time projection, descending here from a higher dimension."

"Your body may indeed be here, but like a shadow puppet, everything we see is just an illusion."

"Your real self, hiding behind the fourth dimension, is the one pulling the strings."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk… Pretty clever…"

Eson's face darkened, clearly struck by Zane's words.

"So what if you've figured it out?"

"A higher-dimensional space-time projection isn't something you can deal with so easily."

"Unless you can break through to a dimension higher than my real body, how do you plan to attack me?"

"And that higher dimension? It's at least the seventh dimension—an unreachable peak for most in the universe."

"The seventh dimension, huh?"

Zane gave a faint smile and continued:

"Maybe I haven't fully reached that level…"

"But I've touched the edge, and that's enough to kill you!"

With that, Zane's entire body erupted in a surge of endless black flames.
