Free Web NovelChapter 295: Chapter 295: The Concept of Antimatter
Levi stood atop the shattered ruins of the Avengers Base. Beneath his feet, the last traces of void-like dust quietly faded away.
Earth had returned.
The streets of Manhattan regained their color, traffic and human voices flowing once more as though nothing had ever happened. But Levi had no interest in the recovered bustle.
His gaze pierced through the sky, landing on the collapsing remains of the Void Avengers in the distance. After being devoured by the concept of Greed, they were releasing a strange and pure energy fluctuation.
It was not ordinary void power.
It was fragments of the Anti-Monitor’s conceptual essence.
Clark silently flew to his side. Faint traces of void corruption still lingered on his Kryptonian suit, evidence of the enormous toll the battle had taken, yet his blue eyes remained as clear as ever.
As he looked upon the reborn city, relief and a faint, almost imperceptible worry intertwined within his gaze.
Not far away, Thor approached while supporting Jean Grey. The edge of Stormbreaker carved a deep trench into the ground, as though bearing the weight of the brutal battle they had endured.
Jean’s face was pale. The Phoenix Force that could burn all things had receded into her body, leaving behind only docile embers.
Nathaniel Richards floated in midair. The golden coin on his forehead—the legacy of Kang—had completely merged into his skin, transforming into a slowly rotating mysterious rune.
His entire temperament had undergone a complete transformation. He was no longer the confused youth swept along by the tides of fate, but a true master who had begun to wield authority over time itself.
And at that exact moment, Levi felt the invisible shackles within him quietly shatter.
The seven-day cooldown had ended.
He closed his eyes, his consciousness descending like a dragon diving into the abyss, sinking into the vast inner universe within him.
Fourteen conceptual-level laws revolved like stars. And in the gravitational gaps between those stellar laws, the fragments of antimatter concepts stripped from the Void Avengers were slowly gathering together, drawn by some instinctive attraction.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Anti-Monitor’s core authority—Antimatter Annihilation. A power capable of denying "existence" itself at its root.
At this moment, it existed within his inner universe in the purest fragmented form.
If he missed this chance, the next time he wanted to touch this power, he would likely have to face the destroyer of the multiverse directly.
Without the slightest hesitation, his will locked onto those fragments.
"Copy."
The Superpower Copier emitted a deep hum from the depths of his soul.
Pain.
An unprecedented pain exploded from the deepest layer of his conceptual core.
Greed sought to devour all things.
Antimatter sought to annihilate everything.
Two absolute and utterly incompatible concepts erupted into war within his inner universe.
Every collision shook the entire cosmos inside him violently, as though galaxies themselves were collapsing.
Levi gritted his teeth. Veins bulged across his forehead, yet a nearly crazed smile spread across his lips.
Pain?
Worth it.
Deep within the inner universe, a conceptual war unfolded. The antimatter fragments followed their instinct for annihilation. Wherever they passed, miniature stars vanished into nothingness, layers of physical laws were stripped away, and even the flow of time descended into chaotic disorder.
Meanwhile, the concept of Greed transformed into a formless maw, frantically counterattacking, attempting to devour even these poisonous fragments and turn them into nourishment.
The two forces entered a terrifying equilibrium.
Neither could overpower the other.
Forcing a fusion would only result in his inner universe—and the concepts themselves—collapsing into eternal nothingness.
He needed a mediator.
Something capable of understanding and transforming these two extreme concepts.
His gaze swept across the fourteen brilliant law-stars within his inner universe before finally settling on one:
The Law of Alchemy.
Equivalent exchange.
Material reconstruction.
Greed represented endless "taking."
Antimatter represented complete "negation."
But alchemy, at its core, was "transformation"—a bridge between "existence" and "nonexistence."
The moment realization struck, Levi immediately mobilized the Law of Alchemy, constructing an unprecedented transmutation array at the core of his inner universe.
He used Greed as the engine.
Antimatter as the fuel.
And the Law of Alchemy as the critical converter.
A perfect cycle was formed.
Greed devoured all things, which were transformed through alchemy into pure antimatter negation concepts. At the instant those concepts annihilated existence, the Law of Alchemy captured them again, converting them back into the most fundamental matter and energy, feeding the entire inner universe in return.
This was not a simple combination of powers.
It was an elevation on the conceptual level.
When the final rune descended into the center of the array, the entire inner universe erupted with indescribable brilliance.
Countless stars ignited simultaneously—then extinguished in the same instant.
Life and destruction cycled through billions upon billions of reincarnations in a single moment. freёwebnoѵel.com
And from the end of that cycle, a completely new power was born.
A power that transcended devouring and annihilation alike.
A power capable of directly defining whether something existed at all.
[Concept-Level Antimatter Annihilation] successfully copied.
Yet the evolution did not stop there.
Catalyzed by the Law of Alchemy, Antimatter Annihilation and the concept of Greed began to merge deeply, ultimately giving birth to a brand-new ability:
[Existence Exchange]
It could swap the "existence" and "void" of anything, turning physical objects into abstract concepts—or condensing abstract concepts into tangible reality.
Levi slowly opened his eyes.
Deep within his pupils, strands of dark gold and pitch-black intertwined before fading into endless depth.
Clark was the first to notice the change.
That aura caused even Silver Superman to instinctively shudder, unconsciously stepping back half a pace.
It was not fear.
It was the reverence of a lower lifeform standing before a higher existence.
Thor’s grip on Stormbreaker trembled slightly. The bloodline of Asgard’s king was warning him—this man before him had touched a domain even Odin had never fully comprehended.
Within Jean, the Phoenix Force fell into unprecedented turmoil. The will of this cosmic primal force conveyed warning... but also a trace of curiosity.
Biting her lip, she forcibly suppressed the instinctive fear rising from the depths of her being and chose to trust her companion.
Levi slowly raised his right hand.
Above his palm, a fist-sized black sphere silently appeared.
It was not condensed energy.
It was the manifestation of a concept itself—the very embodiment of "nothingness," forcibly dragged from the abstract into reality.
The sphere possessed no luster whatsoever. It resembled an absolute black hole capable of swallowing all light and hope, while even the surrounding space warped and collapsed toward it.
"This," Levi said calmly, "is Antimatter Annihilation."
"Anything it touches—its history, causality, even the traces of its existence within others’ memories—will be erased together."
He casually flicked his wrist, and the black sphere spun soundlessly before drifting toward an abandoned skyscraper that had survived the battle.
The sphere did not move quickly.
Yet it traced a deeply unsettling trajectory through the air.
Wherever it passed, the air did not ripple, light did not refract—it was as though that section of space, along with the path it traveled, had never existed at all.
The sphere touched one corner of the building.
No explosion.
No collapse.
No sound whatsoever.
The thirty-story structure simply... disappeared.
Not reduced to dust.
Not broken down into molecules.
Rather, the very concept of its existence had been erased completely.
Bricks. Steel beams. Glass windows. Every atom that formed the structure vanished as though they had never appeared in the world to begin with.
Three seconds later, the area was completely empty.
The ground remained perfectly smooth, without even a trace of a foundation left behind.
Clark’s pupils contracted sharply. Instinctively activating his super vision, he attempted to discern what had happened within that space—only to see absolute emptiness.
"This is insane..." Thor’s voice was dry. "If the Anti-Monitor covered the entire universe with this power..."
"Then that is the true nature of the Multiversal Crisis," Levi replied, dispersing the black sphere in his palm. "He seeks to annihilate the positive matter universe with antimatter, dragging all reality into eternal void."
"But now... I at least possess the qualification to use his spear against his shield."
Before his words could settle, Nathaniel suddenly groaned.
The golden rune on his forehead spun wildly as his body trembled violently.
Ancient, obscure syllables poured from his mouth—the secret language of time itself, carrying the dying words and data streams left behind by countless Kangs across infinite timelines.
Levi’s figure blurred, instantly appearing beside him with a hand on his shoulder.
The power of fourteen single-universe-level laws flowed into Nathaniel like a gentle tide, stabilizing the consciousness on the verge of being crushed beneath the endless flood of information.
"What’s happening?"
"The Omniscient Database... was activated... by your power..." Nathaniel gritted out through clenched teeth. "It’s... searching for lost coordinates..."
A sharp gleam flashed through Levi’s eyes.
Not only did he refrain from stopping it, he increased the output of his law powers instead, using the immense scale of his inner universe to help Nathaniel bear the overwhelming data flooding in from countless timelines.
The golden rune floated away from Nathaniel’s forehead, unfolding into a vast three-dimensional spacetime map.
Countless timelines intertwined like a colossal spiderweb, covering the entire multiverse.
Within that immense web, several nodes flashed violently.
Those were the coordinates of their missing allies.
Levi’s gaze swept rapidly across the map before locking onto the most unstable and chaotic point among them.
That coordinate lay deep within an isolated dimension completely engulfed by scarlet chaos magic, surrounded by twisted, nightmare-like fragments of distorted timelines.
Wanda.
"Found her."
With a casual swipe through the air, Levi tore open a spatial rift leading directly into that dimension.
On the other side was not the normal starry cosmos, but a world constructed entirely from scarlet magic—a realm overflowing with pain and madness.
The sky rained crimson tears upward.
The earth convulsed as though breathing in agony.
Every rise and fall rewrote the laws of reality themselves.
Countless phantoms of Wanda cried, screamed, and tore themselves apart throughout that realm, endlessly replaying the moment they lost their loved ones.
Clark was about to follow when Levi raised a hand to stop him. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"I’ll go alone."
His tone allowed no argument.
"You stay here and help Nathaniel locate the others. Tony, Starlight, Strange... they’re scattered across different temporal storms. They need you to retrieve them."
He looked toward the scarlet world, his expression turning both complicated and resolute.
"Wanda’s situation... isn’t something that can be solved through strength alone."
"It’s a prison built from grief and self-punishment."
Any attempt at forceful intervention would only deepen her suffering.
But now, he possessed a method both gentler—and more overbearing.
The powers of the laws within him resonated at their peak, converging into a single point within his inner universe.
The entrance to his inner universe slowly opened across his chest.
This time, not to devour—
But to project.
To forcibly overlay the concept of his own existence onto that chaotic dimension.
The spatial rift before him suddenly expanded into a colossal vortex large enough to swallow stars.
Levi stepped forward, vanishing instantly into the endless scarlet.
The rift closed behind him, leaving only the faint scent of reality being rewritten lingering in the air.
Thor stared silently toward where the rift had disappeared, tightening his grip on Stormbreaker. A thousand thoughts ultimately dissolved into silence.
Then he turned together with Clark and Jean, their eyes falling upon the constantly flickering spacetime map before Nathaniel.
There, aside from Wanda’s dimmed coordinate, four more points of light remained trapped in separate dimensions awaiting rescue.
Tony and Starlight were stranded deep within temporal paradox storms, while Strange—and another blurred coordinate—had fallen into some unknown dark dimension.
