When the towering shadow of the South Heaven Gate falls over the tip of Stark Tower, the Avengers think it’s just another ordinary alien invasion. But they’re wrong: what has descended is Eastern mythology, powerful enough to crush an entire dimension!
This novel tells the story of an unprecedented “dimensional downgrade” when the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) overlaps with the mythological world of Journey to the West. Here, you’ll see Iron Man’s prized Hulkbuster Armor as fragile as paper beneath Erlang Shen’s Third Eye; the Green Hulk’s furious punches casually suppressed by the Giant Spirit God like a fly; Thor’s thunderbolts waiting obediently in line before the Thunder God and Lightning Mother; and the all-conquering Thanos gathering the Infinity Stones and snapping his fingers, only to find the Great Sage Equal to Heaven picking his ear and laughing that the power of these rules can’t even scratch his skin!
No protagonist, no System, just a pure ensemble cast delivering an exhilarating power fantasy! From street-level heroes falling apart to the Celestials’ downfall, from the twilight of Asgard to the ultimate debate between the Three Pure Ones and the Living Tribunal. When the limits of “science” collide with the barriers of “mysticism,” how will the Marvel Universe’s superheroes face these Eastern powerhouses, who have long transcended the Three Realms and the Five Elements?
This time, mythology is no longer a legend, but absolute truth.
Will heaven come to the east? To teach the barbarians?
