Chapter 205 The End of Time
"Universe Superman, open your eyes."
A crisp sound rang in her ears, and Joey woke up in a void.
To be honest, Joey feels like he's either opening his eyes or on his way to opening them lately.
He had been beaten so badly that being unconscious on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and fainting on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays had become the norm. Even if he had a body of steel,
We can't just force it like that, can we?
When Joey regained consciousness, he looked around and found that the environment in front of him was indescribable.
If I had to describe it, it would be 'Nul', the null value.
Even in the vacuum of space, there are all sorts of dark energy, cosmic rays, and other miscellaneous things, but here, none of that exists, only emptiness.
If this is the afterlife, then this world must be incredibly boring.
"Turn around!"
The crisp voice rang impatiently from behind his head. Joey looked around and finally spotted something behind his head—something that could be observed even in the dark: a jet-black spot radiating a strong suction force, trying to pull Joey's body into it.
Miniature black hole!
"Holy crap!" Realizing this, Joy went all out, using her bio-field to fight off gravity to avoid being sucked into the storm. "Aaaaaaaahh ...
The screams in the void became hysterical, and cosmic energy overflowed from the black hole, finally transforming into a beautiful figure enraged by flames.
The girl was dressed in purple divine armor, and her helmet was almost identical to that of the star-devourer. However, her usually adorable face was now filled with raging fury.
"You Kryptonian idiot! Do you want to die?!"
"I am Galactus, that miniature black hole!"
Just now, Ganata was doing her best to pull Joey back to her side, lest he be consumed by the eternity at the end of time.
But Joey, on the other hand, not only showed no gratitude, but also flew away with all his might, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't die fast enough!
After materializing a humanoid form that Joey could understand through cosmic energy, she "reached out" and grabbed Joey's left arm, pulling him straight into her arms.
This time, Joey, whose mind hadn't quite caught up yet, didn't resist at all, letting Ganata pull her into her broad embrace.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Like petting a cat, Ganata buried her face in Joey's hair and sucked on it vigorously to make up for the energy loss caused by the pulling earlier. After stabilizing her structure, Ganata finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was relieved, but Joey was in trouble: "Then let me ask you—"
"Oh, it's like this again!"
Ganata pouted and snapped her fingers. An accretion disk appeared around the black hole, projecting yellow sunlight to replenish the energy of the somewhat bewildered Joey.
This time, while absorbing energy, she also learned some survival skills as a parasite, such as how to ensure the host's better survival: "Next time, I can't suck the head anymore; I have to suck it from somewhere else."
However, this new host has absolutely no desire to live!
When he and the giant of light conspired to risk mutual destruction by pulling the trigger of the Ultimate Eraser, no one asked about Ganata!
Ganata couldn't recall ever saying "I have no objection!"
Now, the giant has exhausted his last ray of light and fallen into eternal slumber, while Joey and himself are trapped in the eternal void at the end of time, unable to escape.
Joey's antics forced Ganata to awaken prematurely. Fortunately, a large amount of cosmic energy suddenly appeared in her body, which supported the process of awakening her cosmic consciousness. Otherwise, all three of them would be finished now!
As a result, she has transformed from a happy parasite who only knew how to eat and sleep all day into a parasite who has to worry about food and drink every day and has to find her own way out!
Upon thinking of this, Ganata suddenly felt a little hesitant, and involuntarily tightened her grip on Joey's hand, which was pressed against her chest, for fear of losing this long-term meal ticket.
After all, this is the eternal void, the end of time, a place forgotten by the gods.
The aftershocks of the Ultimate Eraser were not enough to directly destroy its three gods, but they were enough to banish them here, where the same result would occur once the energy was depleted.
Fortunately, Ganata had already figured out a way to survive—the two of them would have to stick together for warmth and occasionally bite each other to ensure their own existence.
Yes, this is Ganata's survival plan. Although it sounds ridiculous, it is actually feasible.
Having awakened to cosmic consciousness, she also understood why planet devourers need to endlessly consume life energy. The act of star-devouring is essentially a process of transforming disordered entropy into order, an inevitable path for the destruction of the old world and the birth of a new world and universe.
As for the life energy contained within the planet itself, it is but a tiny fraction compared to the power that Star Devourer could unleash.
The same applies to Kryptonians—even sunlight with a power of less than 100 watts is enough to give a Kryptonian the power to move mountains and fill oceans.
She projected sunlight—the Kryptonian gained life energy—she ate her fill—and then continued to project sunlight—
It's very unscientific, but it's perfectly reasonable—she and Joey are basically the children of God, so what's the first law of thermodynamics?
"I get what you mean, now let go of my hand!"
After recovering, Joey struggled and finally managed to free his head from the broad bosom of the girl who was billions of years old.
Ganata's lingering gaze made Joey feel uneasy; the light in her eyes was like that of a starving dog that had just found a meat bun.
Besides, even if you consider yourself a regenerable meat bun, what kind of kind person would keep a bun hidden in their chest every day?!
As for the perpetual motion machine, Joey hadn't thought of it. He had even been trying it since the beginning when he met Tony, otherwise he wouldn't have taken Tony's arc reactor to provide himself with extra emergency sunlight.
Later, during his in-depth conversations with Xinghuo, he discovered that Xinghuo, as the royal family of the planet Tamaran, possessed a unique ability: they could absorb ultraviolet light and then release it in other forms of energy, including sunlight of various colors.
Furthermore, the fusion of the Kryptonian biofield and the Giant of Light is enough to shake Galactus when he gets serious about food.
If he wanted, he could use plenty of Kryptonian perpetual motion machines.
However, generally speaking, this kind of thing is unnecessary when you don't need it, and unnecessary when you do need it.
He can handle weaker opponents, like inherited families, without external help. But when faced with a strong opponent, like before, even if he had ten Arc Reactors, he couldn't possibly grow to the point where his magnetic field could generate ten million horsepower in a short time.
It could shatter the very essence of the Star Devouring Law with a single punch.
Moreover, based on Joey's direct experience inside the planet Devourer, it doesn't seem like a wise move for the Nitrogenians to bask in excessive sunlight for a short period of time.
Speaking of which, how did the first one turn out?
"Ultraman?"
Joey asked tentatively, but received no response.
"He's fine, just asleep." Ganata showed little interest in Ultraman; she seemed to prefer bio-energy, and pure light energy was generally not to her liking.
"Five-dimensional beings like them are far more unpalatable than you imagine... no, I mean, harder to kill."
Lost at the end of time, Joey fell into deep thought: What should he do now?
"!"
Feeling a craving, Ganata suddenly grabbed Joey's arm and bit it, instantly breaking through her bio-field and leaving a ring of teeth marks. Joey cried out in pain and could barely speak.
"Do you eat fried dough sticks or not?"
"If you don't eat me, I'll eat you!"
"Don't think I won't beat you up just because your dad is Galactus!"
"Your father is the one who devours stars!"
Just as the two were bored out of their minds and began bickering, a powerful background music rang out from the void: Look! Look at the sky!
Is that a bird?
Is that an airplane?
Do not!
That's Superman!
