Chapter 224: The Calm Before the Storm
Ye Bai was too lazy to care about the affairs of the Inhumans. This was just a small matter after all, and it was not worthy of Ye Bai's attention.
After all, the Inhumans were nothing more than ants to him. Naturally, he did not care too much about these Inhumans. Not to mention the Inhumans, even if it was the entire Kree Empire that angered Ye Bai, he wouldn't mind destroying them.
For the current Ye Bai, the only opponent he cared about was the Living Tribunal, who was about to arrive in the universe. Living Tribunal was the only opponent who could make him concerned and even desperate.
Ye Bai evaluated the combat power of Hela and his own. He had to admit that they were far from being the Living Tribunal's opponent. Not to mention making an enemy. It was even impossible for them to block the Living Tribunal.
This was what happened when universe-level powerhouses faced Multiverse level big shots. It was normal for them to be crushed.
Of course, Ye Bai still had a bit of strength. He could be considered to have surpassed the realm of a single universe. It was just that he would still be crushed when he faced a powerhouse like the Living Tribunal.
Even if the plug-in provided by the system was against heaven, the huge gap between them was still difficult to be surpassed. After all, Ye Bai had only obtained the System for about ten years.
However, the Living Tribunal had existed for countless years. He had witnessed the destruction of countless universes, as well as the change of the five gods. This level of existence was definitely not something he could fight against.
In fact, Ye Bai's speed of progress was very exaggerated, but it was still not enough to face the Living Tribunal. Moreover, if Ye Bai's system didn't issue a powerful template in the future, he wouldn't be able to reach the level of the Living Tribunal.
Even the top Silver Superman body template couldn't fight against the Living Tribunal. He would only have a chance if he used the Ancient Doomsday body template to continuously die and resurrect. After evolving to a certain level, he might be able to fight against the Living Tribunal.
However, it was clear that the Living Tribunal would not give him this opportunity. Sealing Ye Bai was not difficult for the Living Tribunal. Moreover, with the intelligence of the Living Tribunal, he wouldn't give Ye Bai the opportunity to keep evolving.
Ye Bai could only evolve once at most because the Living Tribunal would notice this. At that time, he would be crushed.
It could be said that the current Ye Bai was completely cornered and he couldn't think of a solution. He had even thought of fusing with the four authorities of the universe. However, this thought was quickly abandoned by him.
Because he was very sure that even if he fused with the four authorities, he would still not be an opponent of the Living Tribunal. At that time, this universe would become his cage and he would not even have the chance to escape.
In reality, Ye Bai had already begun to regret the fact that he had allowed Hela to fuse with the authority of the Death. Otherwise, they would have the chance to escape from this universe and they would be able to find another parallel universe to hide in.
Now they could not escape at all.
However, Ye Bai couldn't be blamed because he didn't know about the Living Tribunal at that time. Otherwise, he would have taken Hela and run away.
Just when Ye Bai was worried. A new day started.
"Sign in successfully, reward: The Heart of the Universe +1"
When Ye Bai opened his eyes in the morning and heard the sound of the System, he was completely ecstatic. Just yesterday, he was worried about the Living Tribunal and now the system gave him such a big gift.
Ye Bai was a little embarrassed, but he smiled and accepted it.
The Heart of the Universe was the strongest artifact in the Marvel universe, and no existence was stronger than it.
A snap of the Infinity Stones that destroyed half of the universe was just a junior in front of the Heart of the Universe. Those who obtained the Heart of the Universe, even mortals, could instantly possess the power to look down on the Multiverse.
In the comics, Thanos had once obtained the Heart of the Universe. He almost destroyed all the Parallel universes of the Marvel Multiverse.
It could directly kill the Living Tribunal.
In the end, it was the OAA that took action to stop Thanos and restarted the Multiverse.
Now that the Heart of the Universe had fallen into Ye Bai's hands, it would naturally play a far greater role. Even though he could not fight against OAA, at least he would have no problem dealing with the Living Tribunal.
And the timing of the appearance of the Heart of the Universe was just too coincidental.
It could be called a timely rain. The system had rewarded this thing just when Ye Bai needed it the most.
More than a thousand days had passed since Ye Bai obtained the Silver Superman body template. During this period of time, he had signed in more than a thousand times, but he had not obtained anything good.
Calculating the probability, it was indeed time for him to draw a good reward. After all, his luck should have been accumulating for three years, and it was time for him to reap the rewards.
This was also the reason why he had not been able to figure out whether he was arranged by the system or whether he was just lucky because he had not obtained anything good for a long time.
However, Ye Bai didn't look deeper into this issue. It was a good thing that he was able to solve the problem. At this moment, he did not have to worry about the arrival of the Living Tribunal anymore.
Of course, Ye Bai still knew some things.
He could rely on the Heart of the Universe to resist the Living Tribunal, but he couldn't kill him. Although it was not impossible to kill him, it was unnecessary.
The consequences of killing the Living Tribunal were much greater than killing the five gods. He might even attract the attention of the OAA.
After all, the Living Tribunal was created by him to manage the multiverse. If he really killed the Living Tribunal, he would definitely attract the attention of the OAA. Although the Heart of the Universe was awesome, it was still no match for OAA.
Unless the system could reward him with a Creation God-level template, there was nothing he could do if he did have to face the OAA. Thinking of that, Ye Bai made a very wise decision to just protect himself.
The good news was that Ye Bai didn't have to worry about the Living Tribunal anymore. Even if he couldn't directly kill the Living Tribunal, he wouldn't have any problem protecting himself.
However, what Ye Bai didn't know was that the moment he obtained the Heart of the Universe, the entire multiverse shook. Countless beings that were sleeping in the multiverse opened their eyes one after another. Many strong beings became interested after they felt the shock that was created because of the heart of the universe.
Among these strong beings, an existence that was dressed like a modern human slowly opened his eyes within his domain. Then his gaze turned towards the direction of Ye Bai's universe.
