Marvel : Godly Lottery System

At this moment, the [Eye of Observation] suddenly emitted a radiant, deep emerald glow. 

The fist-sized stone body, suspended within the [King's Treasury], trembled slightly. 

It formed a telepathic connection with Zane. 

"Hmm?" 

"The [Eye of Observation], why is it exhibiting such obvious, large-scale fluctuations at this moment?" 

"Could it be related to this soul entity?" 

Zane focused his mind, probing the state of the [Eye of Observation], frowning as he pondered for a moment: 

"In other words, this soul entity is likely connected to the original owner of the [Eye of Observation], Fulcrum..." 

"At the very least, it has a link to the clues Uatu mentioned, hidden within this stone." 

After hypothesizing this possibility in his mind, Zane quickly calmed his thoughts and took another serious look at the peculiar soul entity before him. 

Looking at the pure-white figure, Zane spoke slowly: 

"Now, tell me—who exactly are you?" 

In truth, Zane didn't need to go through such a lengthy interrogation with this soul entity. 

He could have simply thrown it into the [Divine Realm], instantly transforming and acquiring all its memories and information, without worrying about deceit or intentional lies. 

However, recalling his earlier hypothesis and the promise he made to the observer Uatu, Zane hesitated. 

If this soul truly was a remnant of the Fulcrum deliberately left behind from ancient times, Zane couldn't guarantee that after undergoing transformation in his [Divine Realm], it would still remain as the Fulcrum. 

After all, Zane was experiencing his first tenure as the Cosmic Reaper, and his understanding of souls—these profound, unfathomable entities—was far outweighed by the unknowns. 

Moreover, if it really was a remnant soul of the Fulcrum, Zane was reluctant to rashly let such an ancient being, capable of challenging the heavens themselves, enter his domain uninvited. 

The further Zane progressed, the more he felt the mystery and inscrutability of those entities above him. 

From the soul's previous words, it was easy to deduce that this being had evaded and resurrected multiple times after escaping from the former Death. 

This alone was enough to demonstrate its extraordinary nature. 

Zane snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the amusing soul entity before him. 

The soul, hearing Zane's question, seemed to believe that the once-killing-intent-laden Zane had softened his approach, likely submitting to him. 

This further confirmed the soul's earlier assumptions about Zane's identity. 

He retreated a few small steps, and a natural arrogance radiated from him. 

Staring at Zane, his eyes brimming with an intense fighting spirit, he pointed sharply toward the sky with one hand, then to the ground beneath him. 

It was as if he were declaring to the world that he was the ultimate being, ready to challenge Zane for the position of God of Death. 

Zane watched the soul's gaze, filled with competitive jealousy, and felt a bit helpless. 

Swish! 

In an instant, the spirited fighting intent in the soul's eyes was replaced by a red-glowing triangular mark. 

His expression turned blank as he stared at Zane, seemingly awaiting further questioning. 

"Finally behaving yourself, huh..." 

"Now, tell me—who are you, exactly?" 

"I am..." 

The domain originally belonging to Death had now completely transformed into Zane's subordinate [Divine Realm]. 

The boundless cosmic space was filled with glimmering, softly glowing stars as far as the eye could see. 

Whenever a large, noisy surge of white, chattering souls flooded in, a glowing planet would emerge to envelop and contain them. 

In an instant, the entire space would fall into silence. 

At this moment, a soul entity, entirely pure white with a vacant expression, stood before Zane. Its eyes displayed a glowing red triangular Sharingan. 

The entity stood obediently in front of Zane, resembling an employee nervously reporting zero performance in their boss's office. 

The soul murmured, "I'm called Mad Jim Jaspers. You can call me Jaspers, though many just shorten it to MJJ." 

"I'm from Earth…" 

"Uh, to be more precise, in line with the [Omniverse] academic standards, I come from Earth in the Ultimate Universe, coded 1610—Earth-1610 from the UK." 

As expected, this soul was indeed from Earth, specifically from the UK. 

Hearing this, Zane thought to himself. 

However, what surprised Zane was that this soul, named Jaspers, not only understood the concept of the [Omniverse] but could accurately state his Earth's universe code. 

Zane quickly realized that Jaspers had likely learned about this during previous deaths, perhaps while chatting with other souls. 

It wasn't far-fetched to think that he had encountered souls from other universes who shared the truth about the Omniverse. 

At that moment, the expression of the pure-white soul, which had previously been stiff and vacant, suddenly became animated and lively. 

Jaspers' tone grew more impassioned, and his pitch rose and fell as he spoke: 

"The Earth of our universe is the only planet in all parallel universes that consists solely of mutants." 

"And I am the strongest of all mutants~!" 

"Moreover, I am the most powerful being in our universe!" 

"Even my greatest nemesis, destined to be my rival, is no match for me. I've always had the upper hand, and they've only managed to scrape by thanks to sheer numbers…" 

"A planet with only mutants?" 

"That's rather unusual," Zane muttered internally after hearing Jaspers' claim. 

As for Jaspers' boasts that followed, Zane paid little attention, dismissing them as exaggerated self-promotion. 

Zane had already realized that among the five primordial deities, aside from Galactus, the other four shared the trait of being unique across all universes. 

It was highly likely that Jaspers' Ultimate Universe, 1610, lacked high-level primordial entities like Death or Eternity. 

The remaining Galactus was likely too preoccupied with devouring planets to bother with an Earthling like Jaspers. 

This aligned perfectly with the old saying: 

"When the tiger's away, the monkey becomes king." 

Zane pondered briefly and then interrupted Jaspers' predictable bragging with a straightforward question: 

"Do you know the Fulcrum?" 

"[Fulcrum]?" 

"What's that supposed to be?" 

"Or are you suggesting that if you give me a fulcrum, I can immediately lever the Earth?"
