Syd didn't bother answering Venom's chatter. He acted.
The moment he thought about heading to Universe 93060, his glowing, indescribable form vanished—leaving behind no ripples in space.
At the same time, in Universe 93060—
Venom blinked as he suddenly found the surrounding energy unfamiliar. It felt like they had entered an entirely different realm… or universe.
As it observed the environment in its own bizarre way, it muttered in awe,
"So this is Universe 93060? It feels like we're really far from our universe…"
It instinctively tried to sense the presence of Universe-616—only to realize it was utterly out of range. It was impossibly distant, beyond the edge of sensing.
Syd's power… really is terrifying.
Venom whispered internally, deeply impressed.
Then, sensing something unusual, it turned toward the west of the universe and asked curiously,
"There's a huge commotion over there… something's happening.
Syd, should we check it out?"
What Venom sensed—Syd had already noticed in much more detail.
In that direction, a terrifying being was awakening. Its aura was so powerful that even across this vast distance, Syd could clearly perceive it.
Suppressing the urge to fully activate his omniscience, Syd moved toward the source—traveling at faster-than-light speed.
A streak of radiant energy zipped past stars, planets, neutron stars, and black holes.
None of these so-called cosmic phenomena posed any resistance to him, nor did he disturb them.
And he had chosen this method deliberately—not for necessity, but simply to experience what FTL travel felt like.
At that same moment, a holy chant began to echo throughout the universe.
Or more precisely, it was Syd's lingering trace of Elder God energy—empowered by his divine presence—that caused the universe itself to resonate.
It was as if angels were whispering… or countless beings were singing in unison:
"The One Who Was, Who Is, and Who Will Always Be…"
"Omniscient and Omnipotent… Creator of All…"
It felt like the universe itself was cheering—welcoming the arrival of a divine being.
At that moment, every sentient being in the universe heard the sacred hymns.
Even in a battlefield far across the cosmos—both sides froze in stunned silence.
One side consisted of the Avengers, Forces of Extreme Power, and other superpowered beings.
The other side was a lone woman in white—crowned with gold.
Each point on her crown shimmered with a different Infinity Stone.
She was none other than the Goddess of Vengeance: Nemesis.
"…Interesting."
A mysterious voice—resonating like the laws of the universe—whispered into being.
Syd had just arrived. The moment he laid eyes on the scene below, he understood everything.
The seven Infinity Stones had been gathered.
Their convergence had awakened the Goddess of Vengeance, Nemesis.
Having once shattered herself into the stones, her rebirth brought not joy—but rage. Enraged by her awakening, she contemplated destroying Universe 93060 altogether.
Naturally, the superheroes opposed this—leading to the confrontation at hand.
And as for the final outcome? Even without using omniscience, Syd already knew.
In the original course of events, Nemesis would be defeated by the heroes, broken back into the seven stones. The Ego Stone would be destroyed—and she would never return.
As Syd quietly observed both Nemesis and the heroes below, they too began to notice his arrival.
They stared at this being of pure primordial radiance, whose shape was undefined.
He had no substance, no soul, no spirit. His form was humanoid, yet not. He was like the source of everything, the beginning of beginnings.
A chill swept over them.
"…Who are you?"
The heroes, still opposing Nemesis, couldn't help but ask in alarm.
Even Nemesis, who had moments ago looked upon the heroes with scorn, now bore no trace of arrogance.
In her eyes, this glowing blur reflected clearly—and just one glance told her everything.
This being… was also a god.
And not just any god.
The sensation he gave off—a presence that felt like the origin of everything—shook her.
What horrified her most of all… was that she could tell this god was stronger than her. His very form of existence was far more advanced—utterly beyond hers.
How is this possible?
The ancient goddess Nemesis was dumbfounded.
A god of this magnitude?
As a being born in isolation before the universe had even formed, she had never encountered such an existence. If one had existed back then, she might never have been so lonely—never felt the need to shatter herself out of despair.
She couldn't believe this universe—after so long—had birthed a god like this.
Then a thought came to her:
"An outsider?"
"…Are you an Outer God? A god from beyond this universe?" Nemesis finally asked, unable to restrain herself.
She paused briefly, then continued, her voice cautious.
"Unknown and powerful god… what is your purpose in this universe?"
Her voice echoed—not just for Syd to hear, but also for all the heroes.
And in that moment—they were stunned.
This arrogant goddess… was speaking so politely?
And from her words—it sounded like the strange, blurry entity was also a god?
An Outer God, no less?
As for power—
From her tone alone, the heroes understood: this being was incredibly strong.
How strong… they couldn't even guess.
Just like Nemesis, they too were filled with questions and uncertainty.
Who was he? Why had he come here?
They held their breath—stunned and alert.
The scene fell silent.
Syd's eyes flicked past the heroes, then focused on the cautious Nemesis.
His gaze shimmered. Briefly, he activated omniscience—just long enough to understand who and what this goddess was.
Syd murmured:
"In addition to the powers represented by the six stones, you possess the ability to copy other energies and abilities. You also wield supreme psychic and mental prowess…"
His mysterious, law-like voice echoed in the universe.
Nemesis froze.
"…You?"
The Goddess of Vengeance stared in disbelief.
This Outer God… had perfectly listed her abilities?
Who—what—was this being?!
