Chapter 305: Ambush, The End of an Era
Tang Song took off his shoes and socks and dipped his bare feet into the spring water. Ripples spread across the water surface, and the water surface seemed to transform into a water mirror.
In the water mirror, countless Bloody Phantoms could be clearly seen surrounding a fleet. Hela lay lazily beside Tang Song, her head resting on his leg, her bare feet gently tapping the spring water. In her palm, she was playing with a string of beads that looked like white jade.
Boss Tang was well-versed in the tactic of giving a sweet date after a stick. This string of white jade-like Bone Beads was something he kept with him constantly before wearing the Reality Stone.
The eighteen Bone Beads, each one carefully selected as Upper Grade, had all advanced to become White Bone Demonic Gods after devouring large amounts of living beings' Essence Blood and Souls.
The eighteen Bone Beads were eighteen Nascent Soul-level White Bone Demonic Gods.
If it were an ordinary woman, upon learning that the white jade-like beads were eighteen Undead Creatures resembling corpses and bones, she would have long since thrown them aside in disgust. However, Hela, as the Goddess of Death, was extremely fond of this gift.
Hela twirled the string of beads and turned her head to look at the water surface. In the water mirror, a faint Bloodlight could be seen, like a giant blood cocoon, enveloping an entire water area. It pulsed as if it could burst open at any moment. One could faintly see that this blood cocoon was made of countless floating bloody shadows. Watching them rush forward one after another into the depths of the blood cocoon, even Hela, the Goddess of Death, was seeing such a perilous scene for the first time! "What are these things?"
Hela couldn't help but ask Tang Song.
"These Blood Shadows are also called Blood God Sons. They are extremely fierce Undead. They can devour the Essence Blood and Souls of living beings like Vampires. Creatures they pounce on will be completely devoured, leaving only an empty skin husk in just a moment. They are a thousand, ten thousand times more ruthless than Piranhas in the biological world!"
Tang Song looked at the endless Blood Shadows in the water mirror, a hint of satisfaction in his gaze.
Deep within the Netherworld of the Jambudvīpa World, there was a vast and boundless Blood Sea. It was said that this Blood Sea gathered the most Yin, most evil, most filthy, and most impure energies from the entire Jambudvīpa World, making it the convergence point of all evil in the Jambudvīpa World.
At the dawn of the Jambudvīpa World's creation, the Blood Sea already existed. From this Blood Sea, a Congenital Deity was born. He sat upon a Red Lotus and was born holding a pair of swords, calling himself Daoist Styx.
Because his magic power was boundless, the world revered him as Patriarch Styx.
This Patriarch Styx once engaged in Magical Combat with Ksitigarbha, stirring up the Netherworld Blood Sea and flooding three hundred and sixty billion li of Yin Mountain.
It was only after the Buddhist Venerable descended that Patriarch Styx was defeated, allowing the Buddhist Sect to gain a foothold in the Netherworld and open a door of convenience for their believers.
In terms of origin, this Patriarch Styx could rank among the top fifteen in the Jambudvīpa World. He was symbiotic with the Blood Sea, claiming, "As long as the Blood Sea doesn't dry, Styx doesn't die."
In terms of strength, with the two Congenital killing sword implements in his hands, plus the protection of the Congenital Karmic Fire Red Lotus, there were only a handful of individuals in the entire Jambudvīpa World who could definitely defeat him.
As for those transcendent or semi-transcendent individuals, even if they could defeat Patriarch Styx, no one wanted to provoke this undying fellow.
As for refining the entire Blood Sea, it wasn't impossible, but these were figures who had been revered as Dao Ancestors for hundreds of millions of years; who would be so idle as to stir up trouble?
Furthermore, the Jambudvīpa World also needed the Blood Sea as a Large Pit to contain evil aura and bad luck.
Tang Song had long ago refined a living Vampire into a Blood God Son using the Asura Secret Technique passed down by Daoist Styx in the Netherworld of the Jambudvīpa World.
The cultivation method was extremely bloody, using living people as materials, flaying their skin alive, piercing their acupoints with Gold Needles daily, and then refining them with Demonic Fire. After forty-nine days, a Blood Shadow could be obtained.
A Blood Shadow that devoured enough living people's Essence Souls and Blood Qi would become a Blood God Son.
Blood God Sons were extremely formidable. No Magic Treasure could harm them. If a Blood Shadow passed through you, no matter how high your Cultivation Base, you would become an empty shell.
However, the Blood God Son Tang Song refined back then was merely a practice work, far inferior to the legendary Blood God Sons conceived together with Daoist Styx in the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The Blood Scripture Tang Song obtained from the Origin was merely an upper-level magic art from the Asura Path created by Daoist Styx. Even though Boss Tang used Dark Races like Vampires as materials, there were still many defects.
This acquired Blood God Son was naturally restrained by Pure Yang Thunder Fire Power.
Later, Boss Tang used Mephisto's Corpses and Bones to refine a Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade, directly discarding this practice work and combining that Blood God Son with the Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade, resulting in the current Blood Daoist.
In the battle in the Abyss World, Blood Daoist defeated many leaders of the Dark Council, combined with an Origin of an Abyss World, and used his own strength to contaminate that layer of the Abyss World.
An entire layer of the Abyss World was forcibly transformed into a pool of Netherworld Blood Sea. Its area was naturally incomparable to the immeasurably vast Netherworld Blood Sea of the Jambudvīpa World, but coupled with the lost layer of Paradise Mountain,
The mass production of Blood Shadows was enough to easily take down these tens of thousands of Frost Giants.
"Netherworld Blood Sea, Daoist Styx, how does his strength compare to me, the Goddess of Death?"
Hela heard Tang Song mention the Netherworld Blood Sea, which was introduced by the Blood God Sons, and the Patriarch Styx, who was born with the universe. This stirred her competitive spirit.
In her understanding, the Patriarch Styx Tang Song spoke of was merely a Deity ruling Hell within a Divine Pantheon, and one whose Authority had been largely seized by others.
As the Goddess of Death of Asgard and the Ruler of Helheim, she should be much more powerful than some Patriarch or Daoist!
Tang Song looked down at Hela, who was resting her head on his leg. On her proud and aloof mature woman's face was a look of eagerness, like asking "who is more beautiful, I or Lord Xu of the city's north?".
Tang Song looked at Hela's clear eyes. It was like seeing an ant standing before an elephant, wanting to compete in strength with it, or like a Han envoy finding it absurd when facing the boasting King of Yelang.
How dare you?
Let alone Patriarch Styx, even the Asura race he created, any Great Asura casually picked out could easily crush you, a mere barbarian Deity, to death.
The so-called Skyfathers on Earth were merely small True Immortals in the Jambudvīpa World.
And they were the kind of country bumpkin Deities who didn't cultivate magic power and divine abilities, relying only on innate divine strength. Those True Inheritance Grand Cultivators and Nascent Divinity Cultivators in the Jambudvīpa World, if they had a few trump card Magic Treasures, could make you scramble away with your heads in hands.
He reached out and brushed over Hela's long hair. Her smooth and soft black hair brushed past his fingertips. He answered perfunctorily, "About the same, you and Daoist Styx are just a tiny bit different in strength!" Tang Song pinched his fingers to gesture.
Hela could tell Tang Song was answering perfunctorily, but she hadn't expected how much he was understating the difference indicated by that tiny gap between his fingers. Hmm, that tiny gap between his fingertips could probably contain the entire Marvel Multiverse.
She turned her head to look at the Urd's Well water surface.
In the water mirror's frame, Blood Shadows flew everywhere. These Blood Shadows pounced onto the dreadnoughts. The Frost Giants inside the dreadnoughts were passed through by the Blood Shadows and were instantly devoured of their flesh and blood, turning into empty skin husks.
From the ice surface frozen by Laufey, Blood Shadows occasionally penetrated and emerged. Those were Blood Shadows condensed from shattered Blood Angels.
The Frost Giants had clearly underestimated these Blood Shadows. These Blood Shadows were products refined by Blood Daoist, cultivated using the lost layer of Paradise Mountain and using an entire Abyss World as nutrients.
These Blood Shadows were completely fearless of ordinary physical attacks. Things like Frost Rays were merely tickling to them.
The Frost Rays only broke through the layer of angel husks that these Blood Shadows resided in.
Blood Shadows that had separated from their Blood Angel state, aside from fearing extreme Yang attacks like Thunder Fire, were completely unaffected by ordinary Energy Attacks.
Some Frost Giants on the dreadnoughts, facing the pouncing Blood Shadows, used their various Abilities. Some higher-level Frost Giants had a Frost Domain-like aura permeating their entire body. Within the aura that enveloped hundreds of meters, all moisture was frozen into ice sculptures. Even the water molecules in the air condensed into snowflakes and ice pellets.
Unfortunately, for these tangible yet insubstantial Blood Shadows, the cold qi of the Frost Domain had no effect on them whatsoever.
Laufey listened to the screams of his tribesmen before death in the thick mist and roared repeatedly. Finally, furious and exasperated, he revealed his True Body, the one he used to contend with Odin.
The Giant Race had always judged superiority based on height and strength. In ancient times, there were Titans who once ruled an era, and even the Gods prostrated before their rule.
At that time, ordinary asteroids were merely marbles for these beings to play with casually.
Legends of these Titans were passed down in various mythology systems. Their footprints were not only left in various Divine Pantheons and Dimensional Realms,
But even in the Reality World, their traces existed. For example, the Eternal Titan race on Saturn's moon Titan was said to be descendants of these Titans.
The Cosmic Overlord, the infamous mad Titan Thanos, was said to have the Bloodline of the Titans flowing within him. Of course, theoretically speaking, the Giant Race all had the Bloodline of the Titans.
Laufey, as a Powerful One of the Frost Giant race, had also contended with Odin back then. Although he was defeated, this also showed his strength.
Laufey's revealed True Body was nearly a thousand meters tall. Because the heavy weight of his body couldn't be borne, the ice layer beneath his feet cracked open with bottomless cracks.
He angrily extended his arm, inserted it into the ice surface, crackle, crackle! The ice layer broke apart under Laufey's Great Strength. Blue veins bulged on his arms, and he forcefully lifted an enormous ice mountain several thousand meters in area, smashing it towards Lucifer in mid-air.
Lucifer, transformed by Blood Daoist, was completely fearless facing the ice mountain smashed towards him by Laufey. With a backhand, a bloody Tang Dao appeared in his palm. His body transformed, and like Laufey, he transformed to a thousand meters tall, chopping down at the smashing ice mountain with a blade! With a cracking sound, that huge ice layer ice mountain was directly chopped into two halves by Lucifer's blade.
Boom!
The remaining ice from the ice mountain fell onto the sea surface, smashing onto the ice surface frozen by Laufey, instantly smashing out two large holes several hundred meters wide. The ice surface cracked out several canyon-like cracks along the large holes.
A Frost Giant dreadnought happened to be on top of this cracking ice layer and instantly fell down into the ice layer canyon, smashing into pieces.
Several thousand Blood Shadows flew out from the shattered dreadnought, drifting in the thick mist on the ice surface, pouncing towards the next target. Clearly, under the attack of these Blood Shadows, that dreadnought had already lost all living beings before falling into the crack.
Laufey saw the True Body Lucifer had transformed into, and directly reached his hand towards the sea surface and pulled out. By the time he raised his hand, there was an eyebrow-level ice club between his hands.
Laufey picked up the Icy Blue Club in his hand and swung it towards Lucifer in front of him. The icy blue club slashed through the void, carrying the power to freeze all things. The surrounding space seemed to be frozen by this one swing.
The Blood Shadows pouncing towards Laufey, under this extreme cold that could solidify space, were for a moment like insects stuck in amber. Even if they could move, their speed was no different from a snail.
Lucifer, transformed by Blood Daoist, was as tall as Laufey. His handsome face had turned into the appearance of a Horned Demon. He wore pitch black armor and held a bloody long blade in the style of a Tang Heng Dao.
He started fighting with Laufey.
Because of their enormous body size, the ice surface couldn't bear their weight, and both of their lower bodies were submerged into the sea.
Their weapons clashed, stirring up heaven-reaching giant waves. Every time their weapons met, it was like a huge thunderclap under a clear sky, rolling up enormous whirlpools spanning thousands, tens of thousands of miles on the sea surface.
The husk of the Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade in Blood Daoist's hand was extremely sharp. Every time Laufey's Great Ice Club came into contact with it, it was easily chopped into several sections.
However, relying on the World Tree Waterways, which were even larger than Earth's oceans, every time one of Laufey's Great Ice Clubs was chopped to pieces, he would scoop up from the water, and another great club would form.
Not only that, because both of their lower bodies were submerged in the seawater, Laufey utilized his ability to control ice to condense a thick layer of ice armor on his own body. The permeating ice power from below froze the sea surface, wanting to freeze Blood Daoist's lower body and restrict his movement ability.
It was precisely by relying on the seawater terrain that Laufey could fight Blood Daoist to a standstill for a short time.
Laufey did not have the enhancement of the Casket of Ancient Winters, while Blood Daoist was not only a Magic Treasure True Spirit but also had the enhancement of the Abyssal Hell Origin. As time went on, Laufey's energy was somewhat unable to sustain.
He used all his strength to swing a club towards Blood Daoist's head. Blood Daoist swept away the Great Ice Club with a blade, chopping it into two sections. Taking advantage of the moment Laufey reached his hand towards the sea surface to condense an ice club,
Blood Daoist chopped towards Laufey with a blade. Laufey's Right Hand reached upwards to grab the seawater, and his left hand extended his arm, wanting his arm to take this blade strike directly.
Clearly, Laufey did not know the illustrious reputation of the Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade.
With a loud bang, Blood Daoist's blade chopped onto Laufey's left arm. Sparks flew everywhere, like fireworks in the first month.
Laufey only felt intense pain. Looking down, all the ice armor on his arm had shattered. On his arm, black blood mixed with flesh and skin turned out, looking especially terrifying.
Laufey swung the Great Ice Club with a single hand towards Blood Daoist, while his footsteps retreated repeatedly.
"This giant is done for!" By Urd's Well, seeing Blood Daoist's blade almost chop off Laufey's arm in the water mirror, Tang Song knew this battle was over! Hela cast a puzzled gaze towards Tang Song at the right time. She wasn't a naïve and sweet girl. Hela needed to understand this man before her. Only by figuring out everything about him could she escape his control.
As for men, she had specifically sought advice from her mother. Queen Frigga had taught her many methods to deal with men.
She remembered her mother saying that males, whether men or boars, liked nothing more than a strong woman acting like a little girl in front of them. This could satisfy their desire for conquest.
She imitated the demeanor and actions her mother taught her, looking at him seeking guidance. This man indeed narrated everything slowly and patiently.
Tang Song looked down at Hela. The forced little girl posture on the mature woman's face truly made him want to laugh, but it was also amusing.
"Although this Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade I refined is a replica, the replica is extremely skillful. Do you remember the Patriarch Styx I just told you about?
This Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade is the cultivation method he passed down. To cultivate this technique, one must be forever trapped in slaughter. Regardless of internal five zang and six fu organs, body, hair, skin, blood, bones, and tendons, all must be broken by the demonic blade, opening blood and soul. One must carve a full thirty-six thousand plus demonic incantations onto one's own body, slaughter living beings, refine the body with their blood, forge the soul with their souls, and requires millions of living beings' vengeful souls as a guide to refine a Blood Transformation Blade embryo from the void, transforming illusion into reality. From then on, for three hundred and sixty-five Heavenly Cycle Periods, one must also infuse blood qi into the blade as Man and Blade as One to nurture the Blade Soul, without interruption even slightly. Finally, one must still draw upon the Underground Grand Fire Poison Flame to refine the body and the blade together, until after forty-nine days, when the Great Derivation lacks one, can it truly achieve Great Completion in the world.
After this Seven Killings Blood Transformation Blade achieves Great Completion, the cultivator and blade are as one. The blade is the person, the person is the blade. Body, hair, skin, five zang and six fu organs, white bones, and bloodline all transform into Congenital Primeval Blood Fiend Qi. Whenever facing an enemy,
One need not make a posture, just chop out with one blade. It is fast as lightning. Regardless of what kind of treasure the opponent uses for defense, once struck by this saber light and blood qi, it will definitely pass through, splitting them into two halves. Their Nascent Divinity and blood will all enter the blade to nourish the Blade Soul.
Every time this blade kills a person, the Blade Soul grows stronger by a bit, and its force also becomes stronger by a bit. Finally, when the Blade Soul has enough blood and Nascent Divinity, it can draw upon the Primordial Seven Kill Star Fiend Force with the momentum of one blade strike. One blade, seven kills. Even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal encounters it, they will inevitably end up with their soul scattered.
Anyone injured by this blade, those who bleed, will inevitably become the dead souls within this blade! That's why I said this giant is done for. If it weren't for needing Lucifer to take the blame, with the power of the Demonic Heaven Blood Transformation Blade, Laufey wouldn't last thirty exchanges under Blood Daoist!"
Tang Song flicked his finger on his left wrist. An extra tome appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Hela.
"This is the Blood Scripture passed down by Daoist Styx. Among them are many fierce methods. You can try cultivating one or two!"
After hearing Tang Song's words, Hela impatiently took the tome from his hand. Her actions were swift, truly showing a kind of joy like someone who had served an old man for many years finally dropped gold coins.
Tang Song yawned, turned over, and rested his head directly on Hela's chest, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
Hela didn't notice the hint of deep meaning in the depths of Tang Song's eyes when he closed them.
Hela took the Blood Scripture manifested by the Reality Stone. She didn't know what material this Blood Scripture was made of. Its entire body was dark red like congealed blood. As soon as she got it in her hand, an intense, unspeakable bloody scent rushed straight into her lungs.
Even though she was the Goddess of Death and had killed countless beings, the moment her hands touched the tome and she opened a page, and the intense bloody scent came from her nose, she still couldn't help but feel her spirit become momentarily dazed. In her confusion, the terrifying waves and shocking blood rain falling everywhere before her eyes were precisely that boundless Blood Sea beneath the Nine Netherworlds that gathered the immeasurable filth of the world, suddenly appearing in her mind...
At this moment, she only then realized her own insignificance. This was merely a tome recording magic, yet it just shook her mind and spirit into a daze. From this, one could see the formidable and terrifying aspect of Daoist Styx.
Hela subconsciously looked at Tang Song, who was leaning on her thigh and pretending to sleep. She rolled her eyes at him, and only then continued flipping through this tome.
This book looked like only a thin volume but had over a hundred pages. The pages were neither silk nor hemp, dark red in color yet extremely tough and light as nothing. Except for the first few pages, which were written and recorded with text detailing several strange magic arts, the remaining pages surprisingly had not a single word throughout. They were densely filled with various blood runes and incantations.
Hela clearly didn't recognize these characters, but she slightly focused her gaze to observe. Countless runes and incantations instantly left the tome's main body, transforming into a thick bloodlight. Along with that mass of blood mist, they rushed straight into her mind.
Hela was startled and didn't even have the slightest room to react. She only felt blood qi surging within her mind. Countless blood talismans and incantations, like mountains and seas overturning, flooded into her Sea of Consciousness. Countless figures, shadows, runes, incantations, various strange and inexplicable symbols and postures continuously surged and appeared before her eyes.
Tang Song slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Hela, who had fallen into a sea of knowledge. He had his own plans in mind.
Techniques should not be easily passed down. If Hela honestly and obediently followed by his side and didn't have ulterior motives, that was fine. Once she had ulterior motives, then don't blame him.
The Blood Scripture back then was the leek seeds sown by Daoist Styx. Tang Song also understood a bit of this method of harvesting leeks.
By Urd's Well, Hela quietly flipped through the pages, digesting the knowledge of the Blood Scripture in her mind. Tang Song closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Occasionally, two swan calls sounded on the lake surface.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed in a flash.
Jotunheim's Frost Giant army, along with their leader Laufey, disappeared in the Nine Realms Waterways. This matter caused a huge uproar in the Nine Realms for a time.
Fire Demon Surtur spread rumors, subtly pointing the spearhead towards Asgard and Odin, suspecting that Asgard had secretly plotted to kill Laufey.
King Odin immediately stepped forward to deny this slander and invited a group of high-level staff from the Dwarves, Vanir, and Light Elves to follow the waterways to search for Laufey's traces.
Finally, they found the wreckage of the Frost Giant fleet in the World Tree Waterways and rescued two Frost Giants who were frozen at the seabed and managed to survive.
The truth of the matter of Laufey being attacked was only then revealed. This attack targeting the Frost Giants was the work of the Hell Lord, the Fallen Angel Lucifer.
He attacked the Frost Giant race's fleet, and killed the leader of the Frost Giant race, Laufey.
After learning the truth of the matter, everyone in the various worlds of the Nine Realms felt insecure. After all, that was Lucifer, a Hell Demon carrying the name of Satan.
No one could guarantee that Lucifer's next target of attack wouldn't be them.
Therefore, under the suggestion of King Odin, the Vanir, Dwarves, Light Elves, and Aesir in the Nine Realms signed an Alliance Contract. This contract of offensive and defensive alliance, under the witness of Eternity, stipulated that once any of their worlds suffered foreign invasion, other races must provide full support.
Boss Tang, representing the Earthling race, also signed on this magic contract.
The leaders of several races who participated in the Nine Realms War had all witnessed the strength of this Earth Guardian, as well as his several powerful Battle Beasts, not inferior to the Gods. The high-level staff of these worlds were also happy to have a few more top-tier combatants when foreign enemies invaded.
Completely unaware that they were inexplicably pulled onto a battle vehicle that would rampage across the Multiverse in the future.
A month after the Alliance Contract was signed, Odin finally lay down in his golden coffin and fell into Eternal Slumber.
The God King of the Aesir falling into slumber did not involve a grand ceremony like Earth's funerals. Just before falling asleep, he met over a dozen old friends.
The God King Zeus from the Pantheon of Gods, as well as three or four God Kings and Deities familiar with Odin. Among these old friends, there were even many heads of state and planet leaders from alien races who came to mourn.
Odin held the hands of several people and solemnly introduced Hela and Tang Song to them.
Hela, over the past two months, had been cultivating the Blood Scripture under Tang Song's guidance. Her entire body emitted a layer of bloodlight. That bloody aura was so intense that even Zeus, the King of Olympus, turned slightly pale upon seeing it.
That little bit of scheming in his heart was directly cast aside.
Zeus's purpose for coming was not without the intention of probing the Nine Realms' true situation. If after Odin fell into slumber, his heir couldn't protect Asgard, he, as an uncle, wouldn't mind taking on this burden for him.
He didn't expect that before Odin died, he would actually release Hela, this madwoman.
Odin's action immediately scared away many old friends with ulterior motives. If Odin still reasoned somewhat, then Hela was a pure war madman.
Of course, if Asgard didn't have Hela, this powerful combatant, Odin wouldn't dare to confidently meet these old friends before falling into Eternal Slumber. After all, Asgard's foundation is not small.
His inviting these people was not without the intention of deterrence.
Before falling asleep, Odin painstakingly arranged paths for his two foolish sons.
Thor inherited Asgard, as for Loki, after Laufey was attacked in Jotunheim, a large-scale rebellion occurred in the Frost Giants' territory. King Odin, as an ally, was duty-bound.
He dispatched his son, his adopted son Loki, to lead the army to Jotunheim to suppress the rebellion. As Loki, who possessed Frost Giant bloodline, possessing innate legal basis, plus Asgard's support, he took the position of King of Jotunheim in just two and a half months.
There might be some factors related to Hela involved. To verify some of the wondrous magic arts recorded in the Blood Scripture, Hela personally led the Army of the Dead to support her nominal younger brother.
She personally slaughtered no less than ten thousand rebellious giants.
That scene was so terrifying that even Loki turned pale upon seeing it, let alone those Frost Giants. To send Hela out of Jotunheim as quickly as possible, they practically forced Loki onto the throne.
Aside from Hela, this external factor, it is undeniable that Loki indeed had some of his own abilities and competence. Compared to his competent adopted son, Thor, this heir chosen by Odin, was truly somewhat unreliable. He had been missing for over two months.
Until Odin felt his body couldn't hold on, Heimdall was sent to search for him throughout the Nine Realms. Only then was this prince, who was drunk and demonstrating martial arts with some Light Elves, found in Alfheim.
Inside the palace, this prince who rushed back through the Rainbow Bridge clearly couldn't accept the fact of his Father King's slumber and was wailing and crying there.
Tang Song escorted Master Ancient One out of the hall. He watched her draw a Space Gate and leave. Looking at the gradually closing Space Gate, he felt a sense of melancholy witnessing the end of an era.
Tang Song had a premonition that from now on, Earth would be eventful.
However, his era had also officially arrived!
The universe is infinite, but in the eyes of true Powerful Ones, resources are limited.
Compared to the reproduction speed of Universal Beings, the expansion speed of the universe makes the Marvel Universe seem precarious.
When the universe's resources are completely depleted, where will the entire universe go?
The Cosmic Overlord, the infamous mad Titan Thanos, sat alone on his throne, thinking about this problem.
He attacked every planet within his reach, using his own fairness to eliminate half of the living beings on the planet to relieve pressure on the universe.
At the same time, it was also for a secret suppressed deep within his heart, using countless deaths to pay tribute to a certain goddess named Death.
But with this period of time, his full-scale war with the Kree Empire affected many planets. He accidentally discovered a problem.
Those races destroyed by war, unlike their Titan race, the reproduction speed of many races was astonishingly fast. Often in just a few cosmic months, planets that were clearly deserted due to war were already overcrowded again.
Compared to the entire universe, his efforts were like a giant stone hitting water; except for a little splash, nothing was left.
In terms of emotion, he sacrificed countless lives, yet didn't even manage to get a smile from Death in return.
Thanos cast his gaze back towards the Infinity Stones. Legendary wonders that existed since the universe's creation, they are the cornerstones of the universe. Gathering five Infinity Stones can fulfill any wish. Half the lives in the universe are just a snap of the fingers away.
His counterpart in another universe had already verified that this path is feasible.
Thanos suddenly opened his eyes. He seemed to sense some kind of information.
"Corvus Glaive!"
"Master!" Following Thanos's summons, the figure of Corvus Glaive, who had a mechanical arm replaced, appeared beneath Thanos's throne, kneeling on one knee.
"Odin has fallen into Eternal Slumber. You and Black Dwarf together, go to that blue planet and retrieve those Infinity Stones!"
"Yes, Master!"
"I will give you command authority over the Biological Warbeast Planet Incubator. Go, open the passage to that blue planet and let my Warbeast Legion flatten them!"
Thanos held a double-edged black gold long blade in one hand and put his helmet on his head with the other hand. Beneath his throne, the Obsidian Four, leading countless bishops of the Black Order, knelt on the deck of the warship.
Further away, hundreds of divisions, hundreds of thousands of warships were anchored in the cold, dark universe.
The Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire refused his peace talks requirement. Cosmic Overlord Thanos was already somewhat impatient with the Kree Empire. Even though the Kree Empire was one of the three great empires of the universe, so what?
