American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

As expected, after going around in circles, Alex realized he would ultimately have to rely on himself to find a solution.

From the very beginning, Alex had not placed much hope in the Watchers here. If they truly had a way to resolve everything, there would be no need to employ such measures.

However, this exchange with them was not entirely fruitless. At the very least, he gained a better understanding of the Watcher race, and it was clear that these powerful, voyeuristic beings harbored no ill intentions toward him. On the contrary, they needed his help.

Shifting his perspective to the universe of the zombie heroes, it was now in utter chaos.

After infecting Tony Stark (Iron Man), the Fantastic Four set their sights on other powerful heroes and pursued Nick Fury, who had been secretly moving the time-travel device.

In the end, with Thor's assistance and driven by the belief that even if their own universe perished, they would never spread despair to other universes, the group collectively destroyed the time-travel device that Tony Stark had painstakingly crafted.

However, they paid a grievous price for this. Powerful heroes, led by Thor and Doctor Strange, were all infected, and in their rage, they completely devoured Nick Fury, who had no superpowers.

It's important to note that aside from a few scattered individuals hiding deep in the shadows who dared not come forward, these were the last remaining heroes of their universe. Even these individuals were turned into zombies, underscoring just how desperate the world's fate had become.

While Alex was conversing with the Watcher, the Silver Surfer had already arrived on Earth, declaring that his master was about to descend upon the planet.

Unlike most other multiverses, the superheroes of this world had never heard of the planet-devouring Galactus, and they didn't even recognize the Silver Surfer.

Seeing this being emanating cosmic energy, they only wanted to take a bite to taste its saltiness.

Quickly returning to the Stark Tower, Alex shook his head, refocusing his thoughts.

The Watcher had already provided significant assistance, and with that in mind, Alex couldn't afford to remain hesitant. This opportunity was once in a lifetime, and failure was not an option.

"Tony, I'm back. How's the device for tracking the Zombie Sentry coming along?"

He called out habitually, but strangely, there was no response in the empty hall.

Alex frowned. He had already tampered with this place; ordinary zombies wouldn't have any intention of entering here. Even if they wanted to, they would trigger the alarms he had set, alerting him.

Moreover, there were no signs of a fight in the vicinity, as if Tony Stark had left this place on his own accord.

But that couldn't be the case. Tony Stark wasn't unaware of the situation outside. Finding the Zombie Sentry was crucial to saving everything, and there was no reason for him to leave.

Closing his eyes briefly, Alex sensed the Raven mark he had left on Tony Stark's wrist. Sure enough, Tony Stark had not disappeared; he was still in the room.

"Stop messing around, Tony. We're running out of time. The Silver Surfer has been devoured, and I believe Galactus will follow soon. To avoid complications, we need to complete our mission and leave here as quickly as possible."

As he spoke, Alex raised his hand and flipped open a black magic book.

"Ribbit—!"

A crisp frog croak echoed through the room.

Underneath the black magic book was none other than Tony Stark, who, for some unknown reason, had been turned into a frog.

What's even more interesting was that beside Tony Stark were several pieces of metal debris.

Although they looked like irregular silver ore at first glance, upon sensing them, Alex realized these were fragments of Thor's hammer, Mjölnir. It seemed Tony Stark had somehow summoned the hammer's pieces.

"Are you planning to play the role of Frog Thor?" Alex raised an eyebrow. Although his tone was teasing, he couldn't help but marvel at Tony Stark's magical aptitude and exceptional talent.

After all, even Doctor Stephen Strange took a long time to successfully cast his first spell after delving into magic.

But Tony Stark from this universe had managed to cast at least two spells within just a few hours, and one of them was likely in the form of a frog.

This was quite astonishing. Even with the magical energy Alex had lent him, Tony's innate talent would intimidate many wizards.

"Ribbit! Ribbit ribbit ribbit!"

Hearing Alex's voice, Frog Tony croaked in displeasure. Unfortunately, Alex hadn't learned frog language, so he didn't understand exactly what Tony was saying. However, through magical transmission, Alex could grasp the essence of Tony's message.

It was nothing more than a plea to be turned back into his original form or something similar.

"I told you to start learning the simplest things first."

Forming a gesture to lift the curse, Alex gently flicked his fingers, and a streak of pale green magical energy surged into Frog Tony's body.

--------------------------------

Amid a puff of smoke, Tony Stark's frog body began to grow and stretch, eventually returning to his human form, sprawled on the ground in a frog-like posture.

Feeling his body return to its human shape, Tony wasted no time and immediately stood up. He wiped the sweat off his forehead in relief, but his expression was one of pure excitement.

"How about that? I think I've completely mastered magic!"

"Yeah, right. The path of arcane arts is far more profound than you imagine. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in the body of some random animal, I suggest you avoid experimenting with unknown spells."

Alex crossed his arms, knowing Tony was just being boastful. Still, he didn't mind humoring him.

"Did you locate the Sentry's position?"

"I was just about to tell you... Oh, and I think I swallowed a fly earlier. Ugh, disgusting."

Tony took a swig of alcohol to rinse his mouth and then wiped it with a towel.

Thanks to Alex's protection, Tony was partially immune to the surrounding corruption. Otherwise, his habit of eating flies would have long turned him into a zombie frog.

"Not ten minutes after you left, I managed to locate the guy you mentioned. It seems he has no intention of hiding his power. He just passed by Jupiter and is now heading straight for the Sun."

"So, he's no longer on Earth."

Hearing this, Alex quickly walked over to the screen. Sure enough, on the monitor, a crimson dot flashed repeatedly, moving at a speed almost impossible to measure.

After glancing at the coordinates, Alex silently calculated an interception point.

"Wait, you're not seriously planning to face him in space, are you? That thing's energy source is beyond my ability to calculate. The force of his explosion could destroy the entire solar system. This is way too dangerous."

Seeing the grave expression on Alex's face, Tony couldn't help but speak up.

"I know it's dangerous, but I have a reason I can't ignore."

Alex paused briefly, then gave Tony a reassuring look and said solemnly, "Don't worry. I won't do anything I'm not confident about."

This mission had to be done, and he was the only one who could do it.

With that, Alex raised his hand, channeling the magical energy within his body.

This time, he avoided using a portal spell. While portals were usually quite convenient, using one to intercept a zombie monstrosity radiating terrifying energy might allow the energy on the other side to spill through to their location.

"..., mark the coordinates and teleport me!"

The scene before him shifted instantly. Tony's face distorted in the light and shadow, stretching until Alex found himself in the vast, boundless expanse of space. Around him, everything grew silent and cold.

For perhaps the first time, Alex was experiencing the starry expanse in his true form. The serene and tranquil atmosphere surrounded him as countless stars adorned the infinite darkness, making the surroundings breathtakingly vibrant.

But Alex was in no mood to admire this magnificent view.

In his field of vision, a golden object shimmered as it barreled toward him at an incomprehensible speed.

The soft golden light grew unbearably bright, its sheer power trembling the cosmos as it streaked through space like a comet.

"Finally, I get to see you with my own eyes."

To be honest, the oppressive aura of the Zombie Sentry was even more terrifying than Darkseid's. The energy radiating from this creature and its mastery of power made it one of the most formidable beings in any multiverse.

After all, the Sentry in his normal state could dominate Thor, and with just a bit more effort, he could go toe-to-toe with the top cosmic powerhouses. Not to mention, in his current irrational and highly unstable state, his energy was entirely uncontrollable.

Seeing that the Zombie Sentry had no intention of slowing down, Alex raised his hands and unleashed massive gravitational forces, pulling several nearby asteroids toward him.

With a powerful push of both hands, the three asteroids shot forward as if guided by some invisible force, hurtling toward the approaching Sentry.

Unsurprisingly, the golden light shattered the asteroids into fragments in the blink of an eye. The three massive asteroids, each hundreds of meters in diameter, didn't even slow the Sentry down by a fraction.

Alex had anticipated this. His goal was never a direct confrontation. As long as the Zombie Sentry noticed him, that would suffice.

The golden light roared past, drawing a semi-circle through the universe at lightning speed before coming to a halt, hovering steadily not far in front of Alex.

"Hiss... Hah..."

Though it was unclear how the sound reached him, Alex could distinctly hear the beast-like breathing emanating from the Sentry.

"...Destroy... more... flesh..."
