Almost the instant Hela finished speaking, Peter realized exactly what he had overlooked.
Sentinel!
This guy, whom he had turned into Deva Path Pain, wouldn't die so easily!
In fact, his power originated from a phase shift in his molecular structure, which directly caused his body to be out of sync with reality.
To put it in plain English, the molecular structure within Sentinel had tapped into and assimilated another independent dimension that was constantly exploding. In this independent dimension, a million stars were perpetually detonating, filling it with nearly infinite light energy.
This light energy fused with Sentinel's molecules.
This effectively allowed him to store tens of trillions of mental backups within that independent dimension.
Under normal circumstances, even if Peter had chopped off Sentinel's head and his consciousness had dissipated for a moment, the consciousness backup in the light energy dimension would immediately inject itself into his corpse, completing a resurrection ritual similar to "Rinnegan: Samsara of Heavenly Life" for him.
But right now, Peter had transformed his corpse into one of the Six Paths of Pain.
This led to a different situation.
Right now, although Sentinel's consciousness backup had been extracted, because his corpse had already been occupied, Sentinel couldn't return to his own body and had to rely on light energy to reconstruct a new one.
If the battlefield where Peter and Sentinel fought had been on Earth instead of the Underworld, Sentinel would probably already be staring blankly at Deva Path Sentry by now.
But as it stood, because Peter didn't want Earth to be damaged too excessively, he had directly transferred the battlefield to the Underworld.
This triggered a new problem.
Sentinel, having resurrected in the Universe, followed the aura of his own corpse back to Earth.
Then, he discovered that he was being blocked.
Although Sentinel possessed infinite energy, he did not inherently possess the ability to tear through space.
Therefore, he could reach Earth, but he couldn't enter the Underworld through Earth, and naturally, he couldn't find Peter to take revenge.
This triggered another "code conflict" within him—The Void.
The Void was a secondary personality that had been born ever since Sentinel took the Golden Sentry Serum.
The power controlled by this secondary personality even exceeded Sentinel himself, and his temperament was extremely unstable; he would go on a killing spree at the slightest provocation.
In the movie Thunderbolts, after Sentinel was utilized and severely injured by Valentina, The Void took over on the spot, directly inciting a large-scale "annihilation" in New York.
He created a massive expanse of black fog that covered New York. Once enveloped by the black fog, ordinary people would instantly be annihilated into black ash.
At this moment, the situation happening on Earth was likely similar to the movie.
Because The Void couldn't get to the Underworld to settle scores with Peter, he simply started an annihilation campaign on Earth!
Thinking of this, Peter couldn't help but slap his forehead hard:
"Damn it, I spent all that effort, and it turns out I did all that work for nothing!"
After muttering this complaint, he naturally couldn't be bothered to keep playing around with Captain Marvel opposite him.
"Fine, it looks like the game should be over for good. Now, there's new trouble that needs me to solve it."
As he spoke, Peter flashed in front of the bewildered Captain Marvel.
He no longer agonized over what kind of "finisher" to use to KO his opponent.
He raised his hand and delivered a simple, unadorned, Advanced Conqueror's Haki-infused Haymaker.
A black and red dragon instantly swallowed Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel, who already had extremely low magic resistance, didn't even see Peter's move before she felt an overwhelming pressure engulf all of her senses.
Following that, Peter's fist tore through her tattered energy barrier, passed through the arms she had blocked in front of her, and went straight to the Binary energy core within her.
This punch had just the right amount of force—enough to stun her without causing brain damage.
Captain Marvel was knocked unconscious by Peter's punch, with no strength left to fight back.
Casually tossing Captain Marvel to the members of the Illuminati, Peter then looked at Tony and the others and said:
"Wait here obediently for me; I need to go deal with another jerk first!"
The moment he finished speaking, Peter had already torn open a spatial rift in the Underworld with his bare hands and appeared directly on the streets of New York on the other side.
Just as Peter had guessed, New York was already in complete chaos.
Thick black fog covered most of Manhattan. Countless people, simply because their pace in fleeing was a bit too slow, were swallowed by the black fog and silently turned into streaks of black ash on the ground.
"It really is this guy causing trouble."
Peter muttered this complaint, then without hesitation, immediately used the Tiger Talisman to split himself into good and evil sides.
Good Peter activated the Rinnegan's Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life technique to resurrect the innocent citizens who had been annihilated by The Void, while Evil Peter actively walked into the black fog, the soft light of the Horse Talisman appearing on his body.
Black fog? I don't care about any of that; if you have anything to say, go tell it to my invincible Horse Talisman.
The soft white light covered Evil Peter. Wherever it passed, the black fog that had been constantly expanding and spreading began to shrink rapidly, and before long, it was completely dispelled by Peter using the Horse Talisman.
At the same time Peter dispelled the black fog, The Void in the sky also noticed Peter and the Deva Path Sentry behind him.
The moment he saw the Deva Path Sentry, The Void was stunned for a moment, and then a look of rage appeared on his face.
Without a second thought, he dove toward Peter. His speed was so fast that it even carved visible red flames into the void, and his raised fist smashed down heavily toward Peter.
Peter glanced at the ground below. He knew very well that if he stood his ground and took the hit, the shockwave from this punch would likely be enough to destroy all of Manhattan.
So, he also jumped into mid-air, his speed even faster than the diving Sentinel.
Their fists collided violently in mid-air, and the resulting shockwave even tore the clouds in the sky completely apart.
New York instantly became cloudless.
After taking the punch head-on, the corner of Peter's eye twitched slightly.
Should I say it's worthy of being power on the level of a million instantly exploding stars? It's certainly impressive.
Peter had faced no pressure at all when taking the punch from Binary Captain Marvel earlier!
But right now, this exchange between the two made Peter feel that his forearm had faintly developed a hairline fracture.
Although this fracture only existed for less than 0.1 milliseconds before being directly repaired by the Horse Talisman, it was enough to prove the exaggerated extent of his power.
No wonder he could fight Green Scar Hulk until both of them were physically exhausted—this power is no joke!
After sighing with such emotion in his heart, Peter didn't hesitate anymore. He immediately set off, taking the enraged Void behind him and flying into space.
He didn't choose to return to the Underworld to continue fighting.
Mainly, fighting in the Underworld wasn't conducive to him collecting the Six Paths of Pain. If every time he created a Pain, it caused The Void to create annihilation in New York because he couldn't find the Underworld, that would be far too troublesome.
Therefore, it was better to just solve this trouble once and for all in space!
