Of course, the Avengers members are making very good progress in learning superpowers. Otherwise, Tony Stark wouldn't have brought them all over.
After all, the danger of this mission is self-evident... If you are not strong enough, forcibly getting involved will only make you a hindrance.
Silently, a mist began to spread from the void.
“The enemy… no, this is a bit like the last one?” Thor first gripped the hammer tightly, then seemed to realize something, and his expression turned strange.
Dr. Banner didn't notice the arrival of the council members. He was so cold that his mind was hazy. Finally, he gritted his teeth and covered his body with Armament Haki.
After stretching his body, Dr. Banner, though not feeling cold, felt little joy and said with a bitter expression, "...It is indeed miraculous! However, my stamina is insufficient to maintain Haki for long."
"What if... I'm completely exhausted now! What will I do when I have to join the battle?"
Captain America hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Actually, the main reason he brought Dr. Banner over was because of the Hulk... But while that made sense, saying it directly would be too hurtful.
"Interesting." Madara Uchiha glanced around, neither confirming nor denying.
Whitebeard stroked his crescent-shaped beard, surveying the Avengers members with interest. Clearly, due to Thanos's previous invasion, the Avengers had accepted the Council members' presence, and their attitude remained casual.
In the next instant, a crisp buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
An indescribable, terrifying aura suddenly spread in all directions.
This aura was terrifyingly powerful, even causing the void to crack with dense fissures, as if good things were about to shatter at any moment. However, this terrifying aura didn't harm anyone; it only gave them an urge to kneel and kowtow…
"What?"
"This feeling..."
"What monster? This suffocating feeling..."
Voices of surprise, panic, and disbelief rang out. The expressions of all the Avengers members changed drastically.
The Sword Immortal's expression shifted several times before he finally looked in the direction from which the imposing aura emanated.
It was a tall, slender figure with jet-black hair and a calm gaze, but his entire body was shrouded in endless chaotic light.
He possesses a sacredness and power that cannot be described in words. He is like a heavenly emperor who has descended to earth, ruling over all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Chapter 537 Number Three is... the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?!
This was truly unexpected. Bruce Wayne stared at Su Han with a serious expression as the camera on the Batman armor began recording. However, the next breath, a hissing sound rang out, and the Batman armor's built-in memory was burned out.
"Unable to film?" Bruce Wayne's eyelids twitched, then he realized something. "No, rather than being unable to film, it's more accurate to say that the amount of information contained in that thing is too great... exceeding the range that the camera can capture! This caused the microcomputer inside the Batman armor to be unable to analyze it, so it burned out."
"Of course... there's another possibility: this guy contains some kind of conceptual power, specifically designed to target the equipment that's photographing his appearance!"
Bruce Wayne gave a wry smile, but also felt it was only natural.
Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and scrutinized Su Han repeatedly before asking, "May I ask, who are you?"
"Number Three! You can call me that." Su Han's words were concise and to the point.
Luo Cuilian paused, and when she looked at Su Han again, her gaze changed drastically.
Not only him, but Tony Stark's expression also turned serious, and even the Ancient One frowned.
Number three... This was the first time they had ever seen a numbered deity with such an early number arrangement.
More importantly, the shape of the No. 3 has a very familiar feel to it...
"Wait! Could it be... that you... can't be?!" The Drunken Sword Immortal exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock, astonishment, disbelief, and awe.
Bruce Wayne frowned for the second time, scrutinizing the Drunken Sword Immortal and Su Han repeatedly, wondering what the Drunken Sword Immortal had noticed.
"First of all, we can confirm that we absolutely do not know this guy! This guy's appearance... um? Covered in chaotic energy, is this the image of a top expert from Shrouding the Heavens and Perfect World?" Bruce Wayne's mind was filled with turbulent waves.
This guy... could he be from Shrouding the Heavens?
No, perhaps it originated from Perfect World?
A Celestial King? Impossible. Number Ten doesn't even consider Celestial Kings worthy of his attention… not even a Celestial Emperor might be noticed by Number Ten. Let alone Number Three, who is above Number Ten…
"After much thought, there are only two possibilities." Bruce Wayne lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, "One possibility is that this guy is the creator of Perfect World and Shrouding the Heavens World! The other possibility is... this guy might be Shi Hao."
The Desolate Emperor Shi Hao... the strongest being in the Perfect World since ancient times!
Although, according to what Willow God said before, the little stone in its world is still in its infancy.
But who knows if the person in front of me might be the Desolate Emperor from another world?
After all, Shrouding the Heavens and Perfect World are, strictly speaking, different timelines of the same world... but didn't the characters in them also appear in the Misty Space at the same time?
Who can guarantee that the number three in front of us isn't the Desolate Emperor from another timeline, whose cultivation has truly reached its peak?
"Let's begin the ritual," Su Han said. At first glance, his voice seemed devoid of emotion, but upon closer listening, one could sense the majesty and power in his words.
The Ancient One gave Su Han a deep look, nodded slightly, turned around, and stepped directly onto the ancient altar. She closed her eyes and began the ritual.
In the next instant, the Ancient One's demeanor underwent an extremely dramatic change.
Compared to her previous calm and ethereal demeanor, the Ancient One now resembles a demon king returned from hell, exuding an eerie aura with wisps of black energy rising from her.
"...What is this?" Black Widow instinctively drew the blade from her waist, covering it with Armament Haki. She scrutinized the Ancient One, her eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly, his brow furrowed. He had heard his father mention the Ancient One.
