?
Tony Stark doubted whether he was still dreaming.
Otherwise, why would he see the sky splitting apart early in the morning, revealing a colossal shadow?
As he stood there in disbelief, Jarvis controlled the cameras and captured footage of the massive silhouette in the sky.
"Sir, I don't believe you're dreaming. I have also recorded the anomaly," Jarvis confirmed.
At those words, Tony Stark froze.
It was real?
Even from such a great distance, the sheer size of the shadow was apparent. If this was indeed real, he could hardly fathom how enormous the being casting it must be!
Moreover, no matter how he looked at it, this shadow did not resemble any known Earthly creature.
It had a vaguely humanoid shape, yet its face bore six glowing circular markings-eyes? "What the hell is this...?"
Why did it appear so suddenly? And what was its purpose?
Tony Stark murmured in shock, feeling a wave of frustration.
No matter how advanced his armor became, how could he possibly contend with something of this scale?
The sheer size of this monstrous being alone could crush entire cities effortlessly.
For the first time, he questioned his own path. Maybe it was time to shift research directions -to study magic or the X-gene instead.
Perhaps he could become a grand sorcerer or a powerful mutant?
Shaking off his scattered thoughts, Tony quickly issued a command, "Jarvis, activate the satellites! I need a full scan of this thing!"
"Right away, sir."
As Jarvis began rerouting Stark Industries' satellites to analyze the object's size and distance from New York, others were already taking notice of the phenomenon.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
The organization plunged into chaos.
Under Nick Fury's anxious gaze, satellites focused on the anomaly, attempting to uncover its
nature.
New York City
"Oh my God..."
Early risers on the streets stood frozen, eyes locked onto the sky in sheer terror.
"What the hell is that?!"
"A monster? An alien?!"
Not just New York-all across the United States, many glimpsed the massive shadow, triggering widespread panic.
On the streets, some people, caught between fear and excitement, held up their phones to record the event.
Sensing an opportunity, numerous news stations jumped into action.
Despite the early hour, camera crews rushed into position, pointing their lenses at the looming silhouette.
...
Live Broadcast
"Good morning, viewers. This is your familiar host, Irina, reporting on an extraordinary event."
"Just moments ago, an enormous shadow appeared in the sky. Is its owner an alien or some unknown entity? What brings it to Earth?"
"I, Irina, will bring you live updates as we uncover the truth!"
Dressed in a stylish red outfit with matching heels, the rarely seen Irina maintained a serious tone, addressing her audience.
Simultaneously, the station uploaded the satellite footage.
"My God!"
The instant people laid eyes on the footage, sheer horror gripped them.
As the satellite camera zoomed out, the full image came into view-
A colossal, red metallic giant loomed in space, gazing down upon Earth.
At first glance, its sheer size seemed to rival the planet itself.
"What is that monster?!"
"Why is it here?!"
Countless viewers felt a wave of existential dread.
For many, this colossus triggered an overwhelming fear of gigantic beings.
The U.S. government, equipped with thousands of satellites, along with world leaders across
the globe, all captured footage of the entity.
And upon seeing it, they fell into panic.
Where had this giant come from?
What did it want?
Why was it observing Earth?
What was its purpose?
Meanwhile, Dormammu and several other cosmic entities, who had left fragments of their consciousness on Earth, immediately sensed the presence of the Celestial Arishem the Judge.
Their attention swiftly returned to Earth.
"It's... the Celestials?"
A flicker of surprise and fear appeared in Dormammu's eyes.
And he was not alone.
Every Dimensional Demon God who saw this red giant reacted with shock and apprehension.
The Celestials-cosmic overseers of the universe-were feared even among the gods of other
dimensions.
While a single Celestial might not be intimidating, they never acted alone.
And against an entire group of world-shaping, world-destroying Celestials?
Even the most powerful of Dimensional Lords had reason to fear.
Among them, one quickly recognized the figure.
Arishem the Judge.
A being responsible for determining whether a species was worthy of existence.
If Arishem's judgment was negative, that species would be completely erased-without
mercy.
Even Mephisto, who had long been misunderstood as an insidious soul-stealing deceiver, paled in comparison.
Unlike himself, who rarely engaged in mass slaughter, Arishem had wiped out entire
civilizations without hesitation.
"Why is a Celestial here?"
"Aren't they supposed to be maintaining universal stability? Why have they come to Earth?!"
Countless Dimensional Gods were left disturbed and uncertain.
What event could have drawn a Celestial here?
Kamar-Taj
"...Celestials..."
Ancient One's hands trembled as she set her teacup down.
Her expression darkened.
She let out a heavy sigh.
This was far beyond anything she could handle.
Even she, with all her wisdom and power, felt completely powerless before such an entity.
"I can only hope... this is just a coincidence."
"That he has no ill intentions."
She could only pray.
Asgard
Heimdall and Odin detected Arishem's arrival simultaneously.
"...The Celestials again?!"
Odin scowled, his expression grim.
Beside him, Frigga's face reflected deep concern.
Just then, Thor rushed in, having been summoned.
"Father! Mother! What's going on?!"
Odin remained silent for a moment before letting out a long sigh.
"...Earth is in trouble."
Thor's face darkened.
"What?! Earth is in trouble?!" Then, a realization struck him.
"My brother is still on Earth...!"
His anxiety surged.
"Father, what exactly is happening?!" (End of Chapter)
