"Damn it…" Captain Crapstar slammed his fist against the wall beside him, enraged. "Lucky Man and King of Vermin were practically immortal… Why…"

"To the outside world, they may indeed appear invincible…" Feng Bujue interjected, "But within your Super Union, if you use your abilities to fight each other… this is the inevitable result."

"He's right…" Froggy added, "Apart from Poison Man, who was killed by a targeted toxin, the others were killed by their comrades' abilities…" He listed them one by one, "Mr. Shitty died from Poison Man's ability, King of Vermin and Lucky Man died from Thousand-Eye Man's ability, and as for Thousand-Eye Man… although none of us saw it, he undoubtedly died from the ability of one of us."

"Everyone…" A second later, Dr. Eternity spoke again, "Have you noticed that regardless of the ability, Dr. Insane was never able to use it at the initial confrontation, but only after the battle ended…"

"Ah… I noticed that too," Foil Man replied, "Presumably, the condition for activating his copying ability is 'reaching a certain standard of contact time with the opponent'…"

Bang—

Just as Foil Man said this, a resounding crash echoed… a large hole was kicked into the wall of the ship's cabin.

The next second, a figure appeared in the two-meter-diameter hole.

"You're wrong." The newcomer was none other than Dr. Insane. "I don't have your so-called 'copying ability'."

This guy was truly audacious and fearless; clearly possessing the powers of Thousand-Eye Man and Poison Man, he didn't use ranged attacks, but instead, actively stormed into the heroes' spaceship.

"Even if there were someone in this world who could copy and imitate other people's abilities, they would be helpless against beings like Poison Man, Thousand-Eye Man, and King of Vermin…" Dr. Insane said as he walked into the cabin, "Because their abilities are based on physiological structures, even involving transdimensional power, which isn't something that can be replicated with simple cell imitation…"

"Oh?" Froggy asked upon hearing this, "Then… what exactly did you do?"

At this point, Froggy and the others weren't in a hurry to attack, because even if they did… they might not win.

"Heh…" Dr. Insane chuckled, he didn't directly answer the question, but said with a smile, "Explaining this is a bit troublesome. First… have you ever heard of the Conqueror's Crown?"

Dr. Insane didn't expect the heroes before him to know about the "thing" he mentioned; he only asked as a prelude to his explanation.

Unexpectedly…

"'Conqueror's Crown,' one of the four artifacts created by the Emperor of Nihility, is the supreme embodiment of 'metaphysical' power; whoever possesses the Conqueror's Crown can permanently acquire all of the 'metaphysical' abilities of an 'entity' after 'defeating' or 'killing' it, through the energy of the non-materialistic opposite (imaginary space)."

Black Hole Queen, who hadn't expressed her opinion for a long time, now calmly delivered an explanation that Froggy and Foil Man found incomprehensible but impressive.

Even Dr. Insane was stunned, because he only learned this information after many years of research and under certain fortuitous circumstances.

"The reason you returned to the 'past,' or rather… set the time of your time travel to today, is naturally not because you're particularly fond of this era," Black Hole Queen continued, "But because… in the future, you found a piece of information about the Conqueror's Crown's whereabouts; the time pointed to by that information… is today. As for the location… it's no longer important now." She paused. "Anyway, you got the thing before coming to this planet…"

After she finished speaking, not only the doctor, but even the heroes beside him looked at her with incredulous expressions.

For a moment, the cabin was silent.

After more than ten seconds, Dr. Insane finally spoke with a cold laugh, "Hmph… as expected of Black Hole Queen, I knew… you're not a 'hero' at all, you're just mixed in with this group of heroes to observe and manipulate the intricate timelines that intertwine with them…"

"Your perspective is interesting," Black Hole Queen calmly replied upon hearing this, "However, in my opinion… you know nothing about power, you know nothing about realms, you know nothing about space-time, and you know nothing about me…"

Dr. Insane found such an evaluation very difficult to accept; people of his type generally have a strong desire for control and a strong sense of self-esteem. The ultimate goal of a perfectionist is "omniscient and omnipotent," so he is most annoyed when others tell him… "You don't understand this, don't spout nonsense."

"Hmph…" Two seconds later, Dr. Insane snorted again, "Since I am so ignorant and insignificant… why don't you crush me like an ant? Why did you watch your 'companions' die one by one in my hands?"

The doctor thought that his question had cornered the other party's logic, and he was quite proud after asking it.

Unfortunately… Black Hole Queen, being a "cosmic god," once again used actions to tell him… that he also knew nothing about bluffing.

"It is precisely because of your ignorance and insignificance that you would ask me such a question. And it is precisely because of your ignorance and insignificance that I cannot give you an answer in a way that you can understand."

Everyone, be the judge, if such words were thrown at you… wouldn't you want to curse?

"However…" Just as Dr. Insane was about to explode, Black Hole Queen suddenly changed the subject, "Fortunately, there is someone here who is not so 'ignorant,' perhaps he can answer some of your questions…" She paused for half a second, and then said, "Poker Face, I'll leave the rest to you."

In that instant, everyone present suddenly turned their faces in the same direction, focusing their gaze on Brother Jue.

"Uh… um… ha?" Feng Bujue was also stunned.

Black Hole Queen's sudden act of passing the buck caught Brother Jue off guard. Usually, only Brother Jue would trick others like this, but this was the first time he had been tricked by someone else.

"Oh? It's you…" Dr. Insane quickly recognized Brother Jue. "I can't tell… so you are such a high-ranking existence?"
