MCU- CH-231. Code of Life

After a brief fight, the Void Sentry discovered that the green monster's strength had increased significantly after it crawled out of the green door.

Moreover, that green body was like a tireless perpetual motion machine. No matter how many times he knocked it down, the monster would roar and rise again in the next second.

During this short battle, the Void Sentry observed that Hulk's body was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his strength was growing stronger and stronger.

However, the fight also had its advantages for the Void Sentry. He found that his control over his body was becoming increasingly refined.

"It's time to put an end to you, monster!"

After taking another punch from Hulk, the Void Sentry retaliated, grabbing Hulk and hurling him into space.

The Sentry then pursued him, taking advantage of Hulk's inability to fight back while mid-air. With a grim smile, he smashed heavy punches into Hulk's body, each strike driving him further into deep space.

Although Hulk had the ability to survive in extreme environments, such adaptation required time. Entering the vacuum of space for the first time, Hulk began to feel suffocated. His rage, the source of his power, subsided.

Eventually, Hulk slowly returned to his original size, and even his consciousness began to blur.

This time, the Void Sentry did not choose to kill him outright.

Instead, he grabbed Hulk's head with both hands and tore it apart. However, instead of a typical brain, countless intertwined black tentacles emerged from the Sentry's own head.

The black tentacles extended and wrapped around Hulk's body. Hulk's indestructible skin proved useless as the tentacles pierced through effortlessly, draining his power.

In seconds, the once-mighty Hulk was reduced to a mere shell, though he did not die.

The Void Sentry discarded Hulk's lifeless form, letting it drift in the starry void, before flying back toward Earth.

"This drama should end here." Luke muttered as he appeared, waiting for the Void Sentry to arrive.

The Sentry, still outside Earth's atmosphere, immediately sensed Luke's presence.

In an instant, his body flickered with a faint light, and he crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

"I've been looking for you for so long, and you finally come out. Now, you should submit to me. I am the almighty God." The Void Sentry declared arrogantly.

"An almighty God, eh?" Luke said with a smirk, "Then try to escape from my grasp."

As he spoke, Luke casually opened his right hand, mirroring the pose of the Buddha Tathagata as he trapped Sun Wukong.

The Sentry didn't fully understand Luke's gesture, but his instincts screamed danger. He felt an overwhelming terror as though some unimaginable calamity was about to befall him.

Without hesitation, he lunged forward, intending to kill Luke instantly.

But everything around him suddenly changed.

Time and space seemed to reverse. The Sentry found himself inexplicably transported into the starry sky. Looking up, he saw Luke's towering figure standing at an impossible distance.

The Sentry didn't hesitate. He accelerated toward Luke at a speed several times faster than light.

Despite his immense speed, the distance between them did not shrink.

"How dare you mock me? I will destroy you!"

Furious, the Void Sentry unleashed all his power, punching wildly at the void that surrounded him. The universe in Luke's palm began to tremble.

Seeing this, Luke smiled faintly. With a mere thought, the laws of adaptation and evolution began to manifest—a power born from Luke's previous battle with the demons of Hell, when his solar rule had been shattered and reborn into something greater.

Now, as the God of Adaptation and Evolution, Luke could create a reality far stronger than anything his enemies could conceive.

The pocket universe trapping the Sentry had been inspired by the sealed space once used by Lucifer and his legions against Luke. However, Luke's version was far superior, an eternal prison for anyone without overwhelming power to break free.

The Void Sentry soon realized that the space he had shaken moments ago was rapidly reinforcing itself. His strongest blows now only caused ripples, which disappeared almost instantly.

Desperate, the Sentry began channeling all the energy he could muster, drawing power from an unknown universal connection created by the Sentry Serum.

Golden flames of energy erupted from his body, his eyes glowing brighter than ever before.

"Destroy it all!"

The Sentry roared, throwing a punch with everything he had toward the invisible barrier. The resulting explosion was like a new Big Bang, a burst of light that engulfed everything around him.

Crack!

The sound of space shattering filled the void as tiny cracks spread across the barrier. For a moment, the Sentry thought he had succeeded.

But his triumph was short-lived.

Before the space could fully collapse, the cracks repaired themselves faster than they had appeared.

Outside, Luke's hand remained steady, holding the pocket universe with ease.

Having poured all his energy into the attack, the Sentry's light dimmed, and his power waned.

Luke acted decisively. With a casual motion, he crushed the pocket universe in his hand. The Void Sentry's battered body fell through the shattered space, landing before Luke.

In a final act of desperation, the Sentry lunged at Luke, attempting a sneak attack.

His fist stopped a mere meter from Luke's face.

Without moving a muscle, Luke stopped him with a simple glance.

"It seems you didn't learn your lesson," Luke said coldly.

With a flick of his finger, Luke struck the Sentry's head. The concentrated force, powerful enough to destroy a planet, rendered the Sentry unconscious instantly.

At that moment, a soft mechanical female voice echoed within Luke's mind:

"Your Majesty, the super gene has been collected, and the code branch is being activated: Supreme Superboy (can be bestowed)."

This was the reward Luke had gained from the treasure chest after defeating the Hell Lords—a supreme, upgraded version of the Code of Life.
