The gap had just shrunk a little when it seemed to encounter some huge resistance, unable to close inwards any further, and instead it was stretched and expanded outwards!
It was as if something was being forcefully shoved in without any lubrication, just as Azathoth had thrust his tentacles in.
"There's no need to be so hasty in dismantling the bridge after crossing the river."
A huge shrimp head protruded from the opening, followed by the entire body.
Compared to him, Pendragon's body appears tiny, not even as thick as a shrimp whisker, and is easily overlooked.
And right after that was a tentacle with countless suckers the size of small mountains!
The gap at the center of the universe instantly doubled in size, as if even Azathoth was about to come in and completely tear the universe apart.
Faced with A, who possessed the power of the entire universe, Pendragon decisively followed his heart. The main reason was that the magic power converted from the black bean paste he had eaten was almost exhausted, and there was no need to fight to the death there.
So Pendragon retreated from that universe back to this one, and even brought back some local specialties along the way.
The Great Old One she had killed looked like an enormous lobster monster, which completely whetted Pendragon's appetite.
However, it seems that A is determined to fight Pendragon to the death. With the combined power of the entire universe and its own divine might, it seems to be able to completely tear the barrier apart and cross over into the universe!
"It's not just you who can combine and grow bigger, I just learned it by stealing your skills."
Pendragon, who was originally tugging at the shrimp whiskers, used his remaining supreme divine power to come into contact with the entire universe.
Chapter Twenty-Nine Epilogue
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The thin body suddenly closed its eyes and fell silent.
That's because Pendragon took advantage of the moment of foreign invasion to reach a consensus with the universe that was rejecting them and accomplished the feat of ascension!
At this moment, Pendragon shed his physical body and became an existence above all gods and beings in this universe.
She controlled every second from the Big Bang to the end of the world, becoming the embodiment of the entire universe!
"Go back."
Similarly, Pendragon is a confluence of the power of the entire universe. Although the universe Pendragon is currently in is weaker than the Outer Gods' universe, her task is not to kill or defeat Alpha in this state, but simply to expel it. This is not a difficult task.
Space is collapsing! Time is gradually distorting and blurring!
Pendragon, like a hero cutting off his own arm, directly removed that central region of the universe from the framework of the universe!
A's body was instantly lost in the chaotic spacetime, disappearing from the universe along with this deep space.
Pendragon, having exhausted his last bit of infinite power, lost his godhood, and his consciousness returned to his body.
The part severed from the center of the universe will heal under the laws of nature; how long it will take is not within her consideration.
Pendragon is very hungry now, the kind of hunger that comes from being extremely hungry.
Things like unlimited power and ascension to godhood couldn't cloud her judgment, but an empty stomach was a major obstacle!
This was a matter of life and death, and Pendragon frowned slightly as he ate a piece of black bean paste.
In an instant, the supreme divine power returned, and Pendragon looked at the Great Old One before him, snapped his fingers, and brought it to the vicinity of a star.
Considering that no one on Earth would cook such a large lobster, Pendragon only carried some seasonings and tables and chairs on his round trip.
Throwing this giant lobster onto the surface of the sun, the Great Old One, already completely dead and assimilated by the natural laws of this universe, was rapidly pulled towards the massive star by gravity.
Yellow Dwarf Roasts the Great Old Ones!
Only the terrifyingly high temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius in the atmosphere of a star's surface can cook such top-quality ingredients.
The thick shrimp shells slowly turned white under the extreme heat of the sun's surface. Pendragon placed the table and chairs outside the sun's atmosphere, and could see the food in the pot just by looking down.
Both the intense light and the high temperature emitted by the star were weakened to a more comfortable level by Pendragon's power.
The lobsters turn whiter as they are grilled, and they don't look as appetizing as the red ones. Is it because the Old Ones don't contain astaxanthin?
I flipped the lobster over and used my inherited intuition to check if it was cooked.
With a flick of his tuft of hair, Pendragon patiently prepared a dipping sauce of wasabi and soy sauce in front of him.
"It should be healed."
Pendragon's ahoge twitched rapidly, and his eyes gleamed with interest. He beckoned and, ignoring the star's powerful gravity, grabbed the giant lobster.
After being scorched by the high temperature, the Great Old Ones had completely lost their flamboyant red color and turned snow-white. Their translucent and warm texture was like that of jade, making one wonder if they were a huge work of art rather than food.
I tapped the white jade shell with my knuckles, and it produced a hard, thick sound.
Pendragon drew his evil holy sword. Although there should be plenty of meat inside the huge shrimp claws, how could it compare to the temptation of the shrimp tail?
Using the Evil Holy Sword, a round opening was made at the plumpest part of the prawn's tail, and a piece of equally white prawn meat was scooped out.
It was crystal clear and snow-white, and very bouncy. Although it didn't smell like much, its jelly-like color made Pendragon very appetizing.
"Well..."
The texture was alright, pretty much what I expected from Pendragon. The meat was very chewy, to the point that it was a bit tough to bite.
Then, the shrimp meat itself doesn't have much flavor, but Pendragon dipped it in some wasabi and soy sauce, so it tastes like wasabi and soy sauce.
Overall, it was a bit old and tasteless, like a chicken bone – far from what I expected.
However, because it was an Old One, the aura surrounding it whetted Pendragon's appetite, and he ended up eating a lot with different dipping sauces until he was quite full.
He ate one of the two largest shrimp claws, but had no appetite for the rest. Pendragon didn't pack up the leftovers and sank them directly into the depths of the sun.
Then, Pendragon returned to Earth.
Although she had severed the tentacles of the Outer God that had reached into this world, their effects still lingered.
For Pendragon, the world's wide variety of snacks and desserts was everything.
Before the power of infinity disappeared, Pendragon took the opportunity to conjure up a great deal of currency as his operating capital to enjoy sweets.
Although the money smells like red bean paste, it doesn't affect its usability.
However, before Pendragon could even begin his quest to eat all the sweets in the world, he encountered a tremendous challenge.
She didn't know when it started, but the image of Boss A would always appear in her mind, as if he were nearby, searching for her.
This feeling was so intense that Pendragon often felt that A was right in front of him, very close, but he couldn't see him because the last layer of membrane hadn't been broken.
Perhaps it's because they ate the Great Old Ones?
Pendragon became extremely sensitive to the actions of the Outer Gods, and sometimes he could even sense the universe where A was located from afar!
Correspondingly, the universe in which Pendragon resides is also highly likely to be perceived by the other side.
This is a very dangerous situation.
Of course, the danger I'm referring to isn't Pendragon, but rather... this universe.
If the Outer Gods were to open a breach again, the universe, having already suffered a severe blow by the loss of a portion of its territory, would have a very low probability of escaping the Outer Gods once more.
No matter how reluctant he was to part with the desserts here, Pendragon had to leave.
Putting the entire universe in a crisis of survival because of his own appetite is something only a true Thanos could do.
In the end, Pendragon only tasted the most famous snacks and desserts here before leaving the universe in his spaceship. After a difficult decision, he regretfully did not try the relatively ordinary foods.
The spaceship mothership is too huge...
Pendragon needs to eat a lot of black bean paste to gather enough energy for its intergalactic journey, which is the direct reason why Pendragon doesn't like eating black bean paste as much anymore.
Between looking cool and having a better experience, she didn't hesitate to choose the latter, simplifying the spaceship's structure and discarding the unnecessary parts.
Chapter Thirty: The Cat
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Clearly, apart from the reclusive rooms designed by Pendragon, only the power room and main control room were usable. The rest, including the weapon systems, were abandoned. The cold and fierce-looking energy cannons were left in space like space junk.
The power room was also cancelled because Pendragon, taking advantage of his infinite power, made good use of the waste and transformed the original Infinity Gauntlet into a power reactor.
Its material is top-grade, fully capable of withstanding immense loads from unlimited forces!
After simplification, Pendragon's mothership from the Marvel Universe was transformed into a disc-shaped aircraft with a diameter of three kilometers, a classic UFO design.
Then this time the Pendragon transitioned much more easily, only needing to eat two pieces of black bean paste to store enough energy in the power reactor.
Hopefully, we can find the coordinates of the new universe quickly this time.
The powerful thrust generated by the jump engine distorted spacetime and gravity in an instant, allowing it to escape through the gaps in the cosmic barrier and enter the "channel" where infinite spacetime overlapped.
Snacks and sweets don't have a long shelf life, so Pendragon didn't bring too many with him on the spaceship, just enough to fill a few cold storage compartments.
Pendragon wasn't in a hurry, knowing that there was no point in rushing the search for a new universe. However, the fact that she had eaten half of the dessert made her a little worried.
"Ok?"
The novel Pendragon was reading suddenly switched to the spaceship's control panel, which detected unusual signals.
"what is this?"
Pendragon initially thought he had found a new universe, but after clicking on the information, he discovered it was a set of images.
In the automatically synthesized image from the optical computer, the passageway where the spaceship is currently located is composed of a torrent of thousands of colors.
At the center of this image, a long, thin creature swims among these colors that represent immense energy!
It should be... a living thing, right?
Zooming in, zooming in, and zooming in again, Pendragon's distinctive scales and patterns became clearly visible.
Its skin seemed to absorb the violent energy of this place, its serpentine body with four legs seemed to adapt to its surroundings, and its majestic head was held high.
Pendragon discovered that this creature was very similar to the dragon in Chinese legends, noble and elegant, awe-inspiring and unapproachable.
I just don't know how it tastes...
She had already experienced the Old Ones, but the experience was so-so.
"Capture".
With an interested look in his dark golden eyes, Pendragon made a move to approach him.
The spaceship immediately released a powerful gravitational wave that distorted the "channel". The engine used for cosmic jump was like a black hole with an incomparably large mass, and the pulling force it released was almost irresistible!
However, the dragon-like creature in the "passage" did not resist, but allowed the spaceship to pull it closer. As the space between them drew nearer, Pendragon also noticed the creature's enormous size—
The display on the screen was scaled up countless times, and when the spaceship got close to it and appeared on the screen, even a single scale of this creature was larger than the spaceship!
The two do not seem to belong to the same spatial node; the Pendragon's ship and the giant creature visually overlap.
To be more precise, it was as if Pendragon's ship had been swallowed by it!
The view of the spaceship suddenly changed, as if it had entered a completely new universe from this cosmic "passage". The bright and bustling starry sky once again shone above Pendragon's head, belonging to no existing galaxy.
"It's actually quite pretty."
Pendragon showed no sense of danger, instead tilting his head back to observe the view above the spaceship, his ahoge (cowlick) also pointing upwards.
Suddenly, all the starlight seemed to condense into one place, pulling and disappearing. On the control screen of the quantum computer, the image displaying "Passage" unexpectedly switched to the interior of the spaceship—
The strange information that the optical computer was continuously tracking was projected as images.
Pendragon glanced at the magical projection, then turned his gaze back to himself.
"Clam?"
"Meow~"
A cat...
The majestic dragon, which was so imposing just a moment ago, instantly transformed into a kitten and appeared inside Pendragon's spaceship.
It looks harmless, and it has long hair, like a big ball of fluffy cotton.
Pendragon looks so sweet, I have an urge to lick it.
The cat's head has a delicate and handsome appearance, adorned with jewel-like blue eyes, making it look very expensive.
"What is this unfolding?"
Pendragon's intuition didn't sense any danger, so she let the kitten wander around the room as if surveying its territory, finally jumping onto the kotatsu table.
"In a perpetually moving universe, such a still world is refreshing to me."
