Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 301 Begging on your knees!

"Step down."

A refined and elegant voice sang softly. A woman exuding British style and elegance walked out slowly. She stood in front of several British captains, her posture composed and noble, like a queen stepping out of a classical oil painting.

She is none other than the absolute ruler of this universe—Empress Sarah Finney.

Okay, typical British style.

At this moment, Her Majesty the Queen looked at the man before her with a complex expression—or rather, her god.

Her fingers rested lightly on a jewel-encrusted scepter, her knuckles slightly white, and her deep gray eyes held a mixture of scrutiny, vigilance, and a hint of unspeakable helplessness.

She has always tried her best to keep the British universe out of sight of all other universes.

She tried to get those observers to focus on the main universe or the MCU universe, and a host of other more famous and comic-rich universes—

The plots in those places are exciting enough to attract all eyes.

In countless major events, the British universe has only played a supporting role, but this is by no means a sign of their weakness.

She knew it all too well—

Once the major events at the center start to involve them, and once their exposure increases, more and more things will come their way out of nowhere.

And now, before us stands this god of civilization—

Whether the other party acted intentionally or unintentionally—

This has already proven that all of this is coming to pass.

Putting everything else aside, there's that annoying observer, Frogtu. Once they find out there's another universe here, they'll probably send someone over to watch the show again.

Although they can't do anything, the problem is—just by doing nothing, they can drive people crazy.

Even if individuals from other universes realize that their special universe has the power to monitor the entire multiverse or even the omnipotent universe, how many heroes or villains will come here seeking help or causing trouble in order to realize their ambitions or hopes?

She had witnessed countless different endings in different worlds. She knew all too well what the rules of this world were.

Therefore, she was both angry and resentful towards this peace-loving—nominally peace-loving—god of civilization before her.

"State your purpose," the Queen's voice returned to its calm, like a bottomless lake. "What do you want?"

As captain of the British Captains Legion, Brian Braddock really wanted to shout: "Queen, stop talking to this guy, let's charge forward side by side!" opposite!

His hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist, his knuckles cracking, and his body leaned slightly forward, like a taut bowstring.

However, it was clear that the Empress's seemingly insignificant position, positioned between the legion and Hanlu, had already made a judgment—

She had no desire to start a war with them here.

Are you kidding me?

As the Goddess of Civilization, Hanlu was originally on the side of order. The fact that the other party came over to talk things out was already the greatest restraint this mentally ill patient from the multiverse could show.

And then he thought, what good would it do to win? The opponent is a god on the scale of a single universe.

Even if they actually win, it will only attract more and more strange variants—

After all, among the various universes they were monitoring, the various avatars of Hanlu who were chasing and killing the Cthulhu God Child included good ones, bad ones, and even some perverted ones.

The person in front of me is already considered quite easy to deal with.

She had already seen some scoundrel in the main universe plotting a huge conspiracy.

The Empress thought to herself, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Grab your things and get out of here. Don't bother them again.

It was a humiliation for the British army, and for the Queen, it was nothing more than begging on her knees.

After all, the other party seemed to have made a promise to them—that "imaginary cocoon," I think that's what it's called—

When they appear on their moon, it means that the other party has formed a deep bond with them.

They can also call for help to save their lives if necessary.

Having a multiverse-level deity as a backer, and one with a good mindset at that, using that relationship to manipulate a morally upright person seems like a pretty good deal.

But compared to the seemingly endless calamities of the future—

Damn it, everything went black again.

"I want—a universe that the Celestials once dabbled in."

Just as the Empress was pondering what the other party wanted to ask, Han Lu's blunt tone really pierced her heart.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and her fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on the scepter.

She quickly waved her hand, and the gem at the top of the scepter burst forth with a dazzling light.

The entire British universe seemed to be encrypted, instantly producing a large number of translucent, angular crystals—

They grew out of the void, like giant mirrors, completely enveloping this space from all sides.

The observer, Frog Picture, who had been watching the show the whole time, was completely blocked outside.

"Hey!" Frog's voice came from outside the crystal wall, carrying a hint of anger at being rejected. "How could you do this? I was really enjoying it! Hurry up and say it!"

He angrily pounded on the transparent crystal wall, his fists slamming against it with a dull "thump-thump" sound, like a child locked out.

His doll-like figure was reflected in the crystal wall in a distorted way, his glowing eyes filled with resentment.

He remained stubbornly blocking the doorway, determined to find out what had happened inside, he absolutely had to know—

This feeling of being completely stopped is just too unbearable!

Do you understand how infuriating it is to be suddenly shut out when you see a tip-off?

But it's clear that most of the people inside don't want anyone to hear about this conspiracy.

"Are you insane?" The Queen's voice was lowered, but its severity remained undiminished. "You should know the peculiarities of that universe."

Furthermore, the Celestials will absolutely not allow you to touch it without permission!

She rebuked the deity before her with a defiant tone, her gray eyes blazing with fury.

The scepter tapped on the ground with a crisp "thud," as if emphasizing her stance.

The Cold Dew remained unmoved.

He stood before the Queen, hands in his pockets, as relaxed as if he were strolling in his own backyard.

A faint smile played on his lips, a smile that conveyed composure, certainty, and an unwavering confidence that sent chills down one's spine.

He showed no fear whatsoever. In fact, he openly stated his goal.

"I don't care." His voice was as calm as if he were commenting on the nice weather. "I just wanted to do a little writing there. Like—the concept of the god of civilization."

The empress, who understood instantly, particularly disliked her current emotional intelligence.

He meows.

Her temples throbbed twice. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice steady: "You should know that they are carrying out a very ambitious plan."

If successful, the entire future will be transformed.

They won't overlook any possible mistake.

"I know." Hanlu nodded, her tone extremely calm.

"Even if you are a deity of a multiverse-level civilization—"

The Queen's voice rose several decibels, her scepter pausing on the ground once more. "They could also use this immense crisis to destroy the entire multiverse's civilizations. You have no chance of escape!"

"I know." Hanlu nodded again, still calm and composed.

"So I advise you—it's best not to get involved in that world."

The Queen's voice carried a hint of pleading, her shoulders relaxed slightly, and her tone changed from scolding to admonishment, "At least you have become a very important part of this world."

As long as civilization exists, you will be reborn in the future.

"Like a dog."

Hanlu's tone finally changed.

Under the Queen's constant words of comfort, he calmly uttered those four words.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a cold knife, precisely piercing the Empress's chest.

The Queen opened her eyes wide in surprise.

She looked at Hanlu—

Looking at that ever-smiling face, looking at those unfathomable black eyes.

She suddenly realized that there was much more hidden beneath that smile than she had imagined.

"You should understand how grand the concept behind me is."

Hanlu's voice gradually deepened, like a river melting from a snow-capped mountain. It began as a trickle, growing wider, deeper, and more rapid as it flowed downstream: "As long as we spread our concepts to every corner of the omnipotent universe, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with annihilation at the pinnacle of the world!"

His voice echoed in the sealed crystal space, each word sounding like a hammer blow striking the wall.

"The Celestial Group also contains powerhouses at the supercosmic level." The Empress's voice trembled slightly, but she did not back down. "More than one."

"Of course I know." Han Lu's lips slowly parted into a smile, a smile that carried an almost defiant arrogance. "Oh—and the Supreme Court Justice. Right?"

The Queen's pupils suddenly dilated.

Her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Her fingers gripped the scepter tightly, her knuckles turning deathly white.

She couldn't believe the name the man spoke of—a name that was like a taboo within the Celestials.

Chief Justice.

That being that even the Celestials themselves fear.

"How...how did you know?" The Queen's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

Hanlu did not reply.

He simply turned around and faced the void sealed by the crystal wall.

His silhouette cast a long shadow in the light, like a traveler about to embark on a journey of no return.

"Do me a favor," he said, without turning his head, "keep an eye on that cocoon."

Then he took a step.

The empress watched his retreating figure, her lips twitching slightly, but ultimately she said nothing.

Outside the crystal wall, Frog Tu was still knocking on the door.

"Let me in—let me in!"
