Chapter 189: Karma Taj "Enlightenment" (2)

The power system in the Marvel universe is actually quite organized, although in some comics, there are often operations that break through the upper and lower limits, but generally speaking, there is a logical system to follow.

The well-known ranking is the universal classification, which ranges from smallest to largest: individual universe, multiverse, megaverse, omniverse, and unique, five levels.

Most of the heroes known to Marvel movie audiences belong to the individual universe level, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, and so on.

However, viewers who have read some comics may be aware of the existence of several other levels, such as the five major creators at the multiverse level, and of course, the most well-known ultimate villain in the film universe, Thanos, who wears the infinity gauntlet.

But even though Thanos with the gauntlet is powerful, he is only at the multiverse level and there are still many abilities that exist above him.

The most famous in the megaverse is the goddess of revenge, who is actually the true source of the Infinity Stones.

To put it simply, the story is that the goddess of revenge became bored with her existence and transformed herself into six gems, so the culprit behind Thanos' snap must be traced back to the megaverse-level goddess of revenge.

At the omniverse level above this, there are also two well-known figures, one is Living Tribunal, which is a story of a loser's revenge, and the other is the well-known Phoenix Force.

Living Tribunal was originally created by the goddess of revenge, but later killed by the transcendent god clan, and Adam became the new Life Court, directly obedient to the Marvel universe's boss, OAA (One Above All).

As for the Phoenix Force, it is needless to say that the Marvel universe is not short of Phoenix Force stories. However, it should be noted that the omnipotent Phoenix Force refers to the most complete version of the Phoenix Force, and below it, there is a White Phoenix Queen, a multiverse-level existence.

It should be noted that the complete version of the Phoenix Force has never truly appeared in the Marvel Universe, even the most powerful White Phoenix Queen is only a small fraction of the complete Phoenix Force, and compared to the true Phoenix Force, their strength is not worth mentioning.

At the top of these levels is OAA, who is omnipotent and omniscient, and can be considered the boss of the Marvel universe.

These level designations are actually more complex than they appear, as you also have to distinguish their stance, behavior logic, and background.

For example, although Spider-Man is an individual universe-level existence, the spider totem behind him is at the multiverse level, and the Morlun family is also at the multiverse level.

From this example, it can be seen that there are differences between multiverse levels, and if you really get into it, the Morlun family and the White Phoenix Queen are both considered multiverse-level existences, but their strength is worlds apart.

You may be thinking, how weak can a multiverse-level existence be?

But in fact, in the comics, the Morlun family has not had any outstanding performances, their so-called power absorption is more about restraint factors, and their opponents are basically at the individual universe level. Their ability to mix into the multiverse level is all thanks to the Weaver, who is a relation.

Returning to the concept of dimensional gods, this is actually a general term, including both multiverse and individual universe level existences.

Among them, the powerful Lord of the Crimson Dimension, Salatok, is a big shot at the multiverse level. He not only ignores the influence of the Infinity Stones but can also beat up anyone in his own territory.

A little weaker than him is Dormammu , from the Dark Dimension, who was very strong in the old setting and was described as second only to the old version of the Living Tribunal, but later became a bit weak.

Then there are eye demons and Zom, who originate from the Cthulhu Mythos, who are said to be stronger than Dormammu but relatively obscure.

Of course, there are also Hell Lords such as Mephisto, Lucifer, and Blackheart, who can all be considered as dimensional gods.

Strange wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he heard a deep sense of regret in that sentence.

"When I first took over as the Supreme Sorcerer, I was inexperienced and handled things too rashly, which led to a lack of successors now," the Ancient One said in a low voice.

But based on the Ancient One's past experience, Strange knew that she was regretting being too harsh when she was young. Those demonic gods who came to Earth were beaten too badly, to the point where most of them were too scared to come back.

"But thankfully, you will certainly be a qualified successor."

Strange quickly said, "We still need your help with this plan. There are still many obstacles we haven't overcome."

"I can help you contact the Vishanti. I think they'll be very interested in this plan."

"There's also a question about the power of demonic gods. I already know that there are many different demonic gods in the universe, but is their power common? Can it be treated as a general equivalent like money?"

"If their powers are completely different, why do they fight over territory?" the Ancient One asked Strange.

Strange thought about it and realized that she was right. If attacking an opponent couldn't allow one to plunder usable power, then why bother attacking at all?

"The universe origin remains constant, and power is only a manifestation. However, if there is an exception, that would be Earth," the Ancient One revealed more secrets to Strange. "The belief of the human race on Earth is unique, and they can provide the most essential power to the demon gods. That is why they strive to gain followers on Earth."

"While the power between the demon gods can be converted, it takes time and incurs losses," the Ancient One continued.

Strange stroked his chin, understanding the Ancient One's meaning.

In simple terms, the power of belief from Earth's humans is like a Wagyu steak, delicious and nutritious. Other demon gods' power is like black bread, not tasty and challenging to eat, but it can still fill you up.

The main reason why this plan can succeed is that most of the universe demon gods born from chaos have an insatiable pursuit of power, like an insatiable eater who can never get full.

If it takes the same amount of effort to obtain a Wagyu steak and a loaf of black bread, everyone would choose the former. But if the choice is between a Wagyu steak and a ton of black bread, these bottomless stomachs would undoubtedly choose the latter.

To Strange's surprise, the Ancient One didn't find this plan immoral. Instead, she quickly helped Strange improve the execution method on the mystical level. The Ancient One continued, "Odin, the father of the gods, is the rightful ruler of the nine kingdoms and the nominal lord and king of the Midgard. If there is a meeting, it will undoubtedly be held in the temple of Asgard."

"Let's do this." The Ancient One said directly, "I will take you to meet Odin later, and we can discuss this plan together and see when his temple will be available. It should be in a few days."

Then, she turned to the king next to her and said, "Let Mordo communicate with the Dark Dimension and ask if Dormammu has any free time recently."

"You personally communicate with the Crimson Dimension. I remember that Surtur has ended his last season of hibernation. Although he belongs to a neutral demon god, he should be willing to join in the fun."

"What was the name of the apprentice who last contacted Mephisto? Lucas? Let him go and ask the Lord of Hell if he has any free time recently."

"I remember that Valtorambu went to wander in the limbo. I don't know if he has returned yet. If he has, remember to call him. Kararkan was beaten half to death last time and probably hasn't recovered yet..."

The Ancient One shook her head, a little frustrated, "There are too few that can be used."
