"Devil? It's you again? Why do you exist in that place?"
"Is this world about to be destroyed?"
"Magic Net? What is the God of Magic?"
Ash was full of doubts.
Before arriving in this universe, he had been fighting some demons.
Well, maybe "fighting" — at least that's what he thought.
In the desperate, panicked battle, he accidentally fell into this world.
Temporarily escaping those guys.
Although the scavenger old woman in front of him was possessed by a demon, her current state was not strong.
He still had a way to deal with her.
But the prophecy about the future of this world, which she spoke of, shocked him continuously.
"We are reckless across the multiverse, and no one can escape our pursuit, except Him."
A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the old woman who scavenged waste.
She had also learned about the changes in the multiverse. There was a powerful god, which made them abandon any thought of coveting that universe.
Before the top Dimensional Lords emerged, the God of Magic acted like a stylus, restraining demons throughout the multiverse.
Fortunately, the God of Magic was only active in that universe for now, and had not extended its reach to other worlds.
They only needed to bypass that universe and could continue acting recklessly in others.
There was only one God of Magic, but tens of thousands of demons like them.
"You don't need to know His name, because you will never meet Him.
"It's ridiculous for a mortal to meddle in the affairs of the gods!"
"Your future is doomed. This universe is about to die!"
The old scavenger rarely chatted with Ash.
He didn't panic. Even though he already knew the universe was dying, it didn't affect him.
He didn't belong to the real universe, and the death crisis couldn't affect the dimensional universe. He could even watch this universe's end leisurely.
Demons are forever!
However, before he could recover from this beautiful fantasy, he was punched down by Ash.
Then came the hissing sound of a chainsaw being turned on.
Ash was ready to kill the opponent in one go.
But at this moment, something flickered in his mind.
That seemed to be... a contract?
Contract?
Ash paused, looking at ten lines of text.
Among the lines, he quickly found a familiar name:
God of Magic!
"Could this contract be the God of Magic the devil mentioned?"
"A super god who scares demons enough to save the universe?"
Ash hesitated for a moment.
He read on.
It was definitely a magical contract.
After signing, one could connect to the so-called Magic Net, then absorb various energies without limit.
And Magic Power could be exchanged for permissions or spells, making the linker a powerful magician.
The upper limit was limitless.
Theoretically, anyone had the potential to become a god.
Moreover, once the authority was high enough, you might even be lucky enough to communicate with the God of Magic.
Maybe the God of Magic would even descend!
Or use magic energy in exchange for a favor from the God of Magic.
"Huh? In other words, there is a future in this world?"
Ash didn't know what the devil meant by the army of death and destruction.
But one thing was certain: if nothing else changed, this crisis was enough to destroy the universe.
Unless something else intervened.
For example, the God of Magic!
An unknown existence who seemed to bless a universe and made all demons fear.
But it was in another universe.
What about this contract?
He wasn't sure if the magic contract was real.
Demons were good at deceiving.
He had suffered some losses at the devil's hands, and finally found the best way was to move quickly before the other's tricks. Once the chainsaw came down, many plots and tricks could be avoided.
However, since the crisis was so strong, he did not dare make a rash decision.
Ash simply relayed the magic contract to the demon.
The demon, still dazed and about to die, became even more confused when hearing Ash mention this.
"How do you know about the magic contract?"
"Who told you that?"
"Impossible! You don't even know the God of Magic; how can you know about the contract?"
"It's in my head, what do you think?" Seeing the demon's reaction could not be faked, Ash believed in the contract's authenticity.
"In your head?"
The old scavenger blinked, his pupils dilated, and his confident expression suddenly became flustered.
"He actually extended his reach to a wider world!"
"Damn! This message must be sent out quickly!"
This was big news.
If such a powerful god from the real universe wanted to extend influence to more universes,
It would inevitably squeeze their living space.
Although there were many universes, who knew which ones the God of Magic would visit?
If they weren't careful, confrontation could occur.
With the power of the God of Magic, the consequences would be catastrophic.
In addition, the devil also knew he was absolutely no match for the God of Magic.
If — and he meant if — the God of Magic was currently observing this place and regarded him as a demon invading the real universe,
Then he was in danger.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't worry, because it would be difficult for the other party to enter the dimensional universe, find him, or act recklessly there.
But the God of Magic truly dared to act!
If provoked, don't even think about causing trouble.
Even someone as powerful as Dormammu was not worthy.
He didn't dare stir trouble in a territory protected by the God of Magic's watch.
Although this universe's future seemed preordained,
That was before.
Now the God of Magic had arrived!
Everything could change.
Thinking this, the demon immediately disconnected from possession and fled without stopping.
The old lady, freed from demonic possession, regained consciousness and saw Ash touching her collar with one hand and holding a running chainsaw in the other. The dull pain on her face and the hideous expression made her roll her eyes and faint immediately after screaming.
She was a lowly scavenger reduced to picking up garbage for a living. How did she meet such a strong person? It was too difficult!
Ash saw the demon retreating on its own and vaguely felt the deterrent power of the God of Magic.
After hesitating, he signed the contract and became the first connector in this world.
But since he had no effective way to absorb energy, he was still just an ordinary person with a bit of courage.
At this moment,
From a distance, two warring geeks in tights were attracted by the scavenger's screams and looked over simultaneously.
One wore a malicious look.
Ash also realized something was wrong with his current state.
Bullying an old scavenger on the street? Oh, and even wielding a chainsaw like a deranged murderer?
"I mean, he's a devil and I'm a man of justice, do you believe it?"
It was Ash's first time connecting to the Magic Net.
Aaron was aware of this special lucky one.
Not from today's universe.
He existed in other parallel universes.
To be honest, Aaron thought the protagonists in other universes would soon discover and connect to the Magic Net, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Generally, it was quite difficult to trigger the Magic Net mechanism, and the trigger time could be measured in years.
Aaron had set up numerous triggers.
Keywords such as Magic Net, God of Magic, and so on.
It also needed to expand associations.
Just saying the words was impossible.
There had to be other trigger mechanisms.
However, the trigger mechanism was originally an extremely low probability problem.
The easiest way was to send apostles to other universes.
As long as they knew the existence of the Magic Net and the God of Magic, they could directly obtain the magic contract.
But how long would that take?
The first linker appeared!
Aaron was instantly intrigued.
He wanted to see who the lucky one was and if this parallel universe was familiar to him.
For example, the real movie universe, or some special and well-known parallel universes.
Connected to the Magic Net, his consciousness turned to Ash, and Aaron saw the current situation through his vision.
*"Daredevil?"
"Chainsaw?"
"Who is this? I don't have any impression."*
Aaron frowned. Based on his limited knowledge of Marvel, he didn't know who Ash was for a while.
He could be sure Ash was definitely not any famous Marvel figure.
This struck Aaron as somewhat ridiculous.
Lucky is an "ordinary person"?
Looks like a villain?
Forget it, as long as he spreads the profile network through him.
It didn't matter who he was.
Aaron didn't come forward to talk to Ash — it wasn't necessary.
Whether Ash was righteous or evil, the moment the first lucky person was born, the Magic Net would soon spread to the entire universe.
Once the Magic Net spread, magicians would continue to appear.
Another universe would provide him with energy.
As for how the other party connected to the Magic Net, Aaron didn't care.
Theoretically, anyone could connect — maybe even aliens.
As for the name Ash, Aaron didn't recognize it from any universe either.
Soon, he withdrew his consciousness and devoted himself to upgrading the magic system.
Ash had no idea that the God of Magic had just observed through his vision for a moment.
At this moment, Ash was teaming up with another man in tights to successfully knock Daredevil unconscious.
Only after getting out of Daredevil's trouble did he remember again.
The world was about to end.
How could he save it?
How could an ordinary person with no credentials and no resources quickly obtain magical energy and save the world?
Perhaps, only through the power of this universe.
The first step was to understand the power composition of this universe.
To learn about the universe's destruction.
And the news of the God of Magic.
Also to find the source of Doom.
Ash had put himself in a messianic pose.
Travelers from Otherworld, learning of the doomsday crisis, gaining the "Gold Finger" (Magic Net).
Isn't that what the protagonist is supposed to do?
The future must be the savior, then marry a beauty and walk to the pinnacle of life!
Done!
Ash's confidence surged.
Full of energy.
He couldn't wait to execute the plan immediately.
He believed everything would go smoothly and he would get a real good ending.
