Meanwhile the Embodiments of the Universe were just going to enter into the Universe 1395, but someone stopped them.
They noticed it was the Living Tribunal.
"The Living Tribunal, why are you stopping us," Oblivion asked him.
"Where are all of you going leaving your Universe 357 unguarded, returned back or I will need to judge all of you," The Living Tribunal ordered them.
"The Living Tribunal, we want to meet this new entity," Death replied, showing the image of Ben.
"I don't know how, he entered our Universe, we don't know his history, and we are able to stop him in Universe 1395 for a few seconds," She explained the reason.
The Living Tribunal understood, they wanted to know about Ben, "Ok, go and meet him, but don't create any conflict, I don't want to see the destruction of a Universe," He warned them.
"Of course Living Tribunal, we will not create any destruction in the Universe 1395, we just questioned him or quickly captured him," Eternity nodded, everyone also agreed with him.
"I am not talking about Universe 1395, I am talking about Universe 357," The Living Tribunal cleared their confusion before they made the mistake.
"Universe 357, how can the Universe 357 be destroyed if we fight in Universe 1395?" Infinity asked, looking towards the Living Tribunal for a reply.
The Living Tribunal sees over them, "If you are all destroyed, then your Universe is obviously destroyed, that's why I warned you to not create a conflict," He explained to them, before sending them to Universe 1395.
The Embodiments of Universe 357 become first confused, then they become shocked knowing The Living Tribunal was giving warning to him.
They now understand Ben Tennyson has already meeted with the Living Tribunal and from it, Living Tribunal knows about Ben's powers, but still they decided to see for themselves.
And from hiding into the void of Universe 1395, they observed the all action of Ben, and they were amazed by witnessing his powers, how easily Ben even destroyed their Avatars.
After defeating Mikaboshi, Ben turned towards the void where the Embodiments of Universe 357 were hiding.
"Now it's time for you to come out," Ben declared, his Cosmic X-ray Vision allowing him to perceive the hidden entities within the void.
A vast void gave way to the emergence of the four Embodiments: Death, Oblivion, Infinity, and Eternity of Universe 357.
Their cosmic forms materialized, a majestic spectacle that dwarfed the galaxies around them.
Seated confidently on the throne of Knull, Ben observed their arrival with a mixture of curiosity and authority.
"Oh, so it's you are," he remarked, his gaze steady as he adjusted on the imposing seat.
Infinity and Eternity, surprised at being recognized, exchanged glances. "You, you know about us?"
They questioned, their cosmic essences resonating with astonishment.
Few beings had ever encountered them, and fewer still were aware of their existence without proper introduction.
Then they thought, since he has already meeted with the Living Tribunal, from there he knows about them. But they decided to ask by themselves.
Death, accustomed to remaining unseen except by those on the brink of their demise or her chosen confidants, was equally taken aback.
"You can even see me," she expressed in a tone that betrayed her surprise.
"Yes, I can see you, and I know about your purpose in the Universe," Ben responded calmly, his demeanor unwavering.
The cosmic entities listened intently as he continued, "Your presence is to maintain the balance of the Universe."
The Embodiments grappled with this unexpected revelation.
"What do you know about us?" Oblivion inquired, seeking understanding.
Ben gestured towards Infinity, "You are Infinity, responsible for maintaining the balance and structure of space. However, in many Universes, the balance was broken, suggesting your counterparts in other realities didn't fulfill their roles."
He then turned his attention to Eternity, "And you, your role is even more crucial. You control the personification of time and the temporal flow of the universe. It's your duty to ensure the proper functioning of the Universe, as any imbalance would reflect in your own existence. Like your sister counterparts, in numerous Universes, your counterparts failed to fulfill their responsibilities."
Infinity questioned, puzzled, "How can our counterparts fail in their jobs? It's what we exist for."
"I don't know why they failed," Ben replied thoughtfully.
"But I've witnessed many Universes in decay—some overrun by vampires, others by zombies, and some destroyed by other beings. I find myself doing your work, even though I didn't choose it. Born a hero, I can't bear to witness the painful state of the Universe," he explained, silencing both Eternity and Infinity with his solemn words.
Ben turned his gaze towards Death, acknowledging her work, but not without pointing out the loopholes.
"You've done good work in your job, but many beings seek ways to cheat death, making it seem like you're as useless as them," he remarked.
His attention then shifted to Oblivion, and a wave of dissatisfaction resonated in his voice.
"And the most useless is you. I've witnessed countless Universes teetering on the edge of destruction. Why not let them be destroyed, allowing a reboot?" Ben's words scold them, leaving Death and Oblivion momentarily speechless.
Oblivion, feeling the weight of Ben's words, challenged him, "Hey, do you know who you're talking to? Only the First Firmament, The Living Tribunal, and One-Above-All can speak to me like that."
"Yes, I know who I'm talking to," Ben responded with unwavering confidence.
"And I even dared to talk like this to The Living Tribunal so what are you in front of him," he added, then he was preparing to continue his journey.
But Oblivion halted him.
"Hey, we need to ask you the same question!" he shouted, demanding answers before Ben could proceed on his journey.
"Ask what you want to know," Ben responded with a disappointed look, patiently waiting for their inquiries.
Death posed the crucial question, "So, I want to ask, who are you? We couldn't find any history of yourself before you entered Universe 613."
Ben sighed, feeling the weight of the explanation he was about to give.
"It's complicated. I am Ben Tennyson, but I don't belong to your Multiverse. I come from a different Multiverse," he explained, aware of the challenges in conveying the concept of the Universal Tree.
"What? You belong to a different Multiverse? Does that mean there's something beyond the Marvel Multiverse?"
Eternity inquired, shocked by the revelation that something could exist beyond their familiar Multiverse.
"Yes, there's a vast world outside the Multiverse, and it's challenging to explain. Since you're bound by duty and can't leave the Marvel Multiverse, I'll do my best to explain," Ben admitted, proceeding to share the details of the Universal Tree.
The Embodiments of Universe 357 were taken aback by this revelation.
As they grasped the concept of the Universal Tree and understood the existence of multiple Multiverses, they also gained insight into the role of One-Above-All.
It became clear that One-Above-All was chosen to oversee the Marvel Multiverse. And above the One-Above-All must exist someone more stronger than him.
Amidst their contemplation, Ben revved up his Interstellar Harley and resumed his journey towards Universe 12041, leaving the Embodiments of Universe 357 behind with newfound understanding.
Meanwhile the Embodiments of Universe 357 existed in Universe 1395 to return back to their universe.
The Living Tribunal noticed them, "It's good to see you safe, I will forgive you this time, since you want to meet the Ben, but not the next, you need to guard your own Universe," He ordered them, they nodded and returned back to their own Universe.
The Living Tribunal becomes busy searching, what happened in the Universe 12041.
After All many heroes and villains vanished, and their location is unknown, it is very important to find out about it.
And this was the time Ben has taken his doppelgangers from the Universe 11052 and now he has finally reached the Universe 12041, and he was standing in front of the portal, from where his connection to the sweet Ben was broken.
"So, this is the place from where my connection, let's see, what it has to show," He said and took a step forward.
And to the amazement of Ben, he found himself on a desert-like place, his connection with the Sweet Ben was again established, then he used his powers and the Sweet Ben came and merged back into him. While he found out about this place…..
