**Chapter 477: People Die for Wealth, Birds Die for Food**
To say he wasn't tempted would be a lie. What dragon in the world could refuse such dazzling treasures! The moment he saw those three sparkling Infinity Stones, the Old Demon Dragon's pupils contracted hundreds of times.
But the Old Demon Dragon forcefully suppressed the desire in his heart. His instinct told him that if he dared to covet these three Infinity Stones, his end would certainly be abnormally miserable.
Over the years, he had led his descendants and some Hell creatures to fish in troubled waters during several Satanic Struggles! He was practically the most notorious mercenary in Hell Abyss.
As long as he was given enough benefit, he would even immediately turn on his Employer. Countless Abyssal Lords had perished due to his betrayal.
The reason he had been stirring up trouble for so long without being jointly beaten into dragon meat pie by the Hell Lords and Abyssal Lords was not only because the Old Demon Dragon's strength was excessively formidable, possessing power no weaker than that of the God Kings of various God Races and the Hell Lords.
Few people knew that this Old Demon Dragon was a fellow who had a fierce tiger in his heart, yet delicately sniffed roses.
This Old Demon Dragon possessed an almost instinctive keen sense of smell for danger. This was also the reason why he decisively surrendered when the Blood Daoist was about to invade Dragon Abyss! He could feel as if a pair of eyes were staring intently at him from all around. That feeling of being watched intensely made the Old Demon Dragon clearly understand that if he truly dared to covet these three Infinity Stones, the dragon hide on his body would likely be flayed off him alive and made into dragon scale armor.
Even his soul would be sealed within those magic treasures and become a part of them.
In that Gap Between Dimension and Reality, Tang Song, Kane, Hela, and Deadpool were gathered around a table, playing mahjong.
On the nearby space barrier, the figures of the Old Demon Dragon, Beelzebub, and others were clearly projected before the crowd.
The crisp sound of mahjong tiles clicking echoed within this space. This scene appeared incredibly bizarre.
"Three wan!" Kane played a tile backhanded. Looking at the Old Demon Dragon and Beelzebub, who were locked in a confrontation, he asked somewhat strangely, "Boss! Aren't you going to teach them a lesson?"
"Four bing!"
Tang Song drew a tile and played it out as well, letting out a disdainful cold laugh. "Heh! The Old Demon Dragon is sensible. As for Beelzebub, Wade Wilson, didn't you say your Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Blade broke? I'll give you two better ones! I'll use Beelzebub's soul as the artifact spirit!"
After drawing a tile, Wade Wilson was looking at his hand, hesitating about which tile to play. Upon hearing Tang Song's words, he immediately played the Eight of Bamboo in his hand backhanded.
"Pong!" Hela reached out, just about to touch the mahjong tile Wade Wilson played, but Tang Song snatched the tile first.
"Sorry, darling, I won!" Tang Song threw a gaze towards Hela. Hela, who had drawn nothing, angrily swept the tiles in front of her.
"No way, Boss, how many rounds is this? I don't have that much money to lose to you guys!" Wade Wilson, who had paid several times in a row, looked at Tang Song with a bitter, miserable face.
"Just do a few more missions, and you'll have money!" Tang Song skillfully stacked the mahjong tiles on the table.
"Right, Boss, were you serious when you said you'd get me two new Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Blades just now?
Let's be clear, I don't have money! You know I was saving money just for these two blades, and who knew they'd leave me right after I finished paying off the loan!"
"Don't worry, I won't charge you for these two blades. You just need to help me settle things with your paramour—"
"Boss, what did you say?" Wade Wilson, who was muttering to himself, didn't hear Tang Song's last sentence clearly. He looked up at Tang Song with doubt.
"Nothing? Come on, let's play mahjong! Kane, put Johnny's corpse away properly. Didn't he get another Spirit of Vengeance? Hmm, I'll see if I can fuse the two Spirits of Vengeance together later!"
The Old Demon Dragon glanced mockingly at Beelzebub, who was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation. He lifted his foot and kicked the Thanos corpse beneath him towards the approaching Frank, then spread his hands towards him, indicating that he had no covetous intentions towards these three Infinity Stones.
Seeing this scene, Beelzebub became extremely anxious. He urgently bellowed loudly, "Old Demon Dragon, you cowardly waste!"
Watching the nearby Infinity Stones about to slip away from him, Beelzebub's body suddenly dispersed again into countless green fireflies, rushing towards the Thanos corpse floating in space.
The Old Demon Dragon raised his hand and let out a strange, malicious laugh. The Wutu Mountain Driving Whip in his hand transformed into a golden dragon, carrying countless murky yellow Wutu Essence Qi, and smashed towards the green cloud.
Crack!
The space in front of Beelzebub suddenly shattered, unable to withstand the force of the Old Demon Dragon's golden whip! The green cloud's path was blocked by the shattered space.
"Old Demon Dragon, don't think I'm afraid of you!" Within the green cloud formed by plague insects, Beelzebub's cunning and sinister face suddenly condensed. The next second, the space around the Old Demon Dragon silently began to writhe. Transparent, invisible great mouths opened and closed, fiercely tearing towards the Old Demon Dragon.
At the same time, countless demons with bat wings surged out from these opening and closing void great mouths. Waving various weapons, they charged towards the Old Demon Dragon with strange cries.
Millions of demons instantly filled the space around the Old Demon Dragon. Seeing himself heavily surrounded, the Old Demon Dragon lifted the golden whip in his hand. He swung the Wutu Mountain Driving Whip forward, and a Wutu Golden Dragon over a thousand zhang long flew directly out from the golden whip. Immeasurable amounts of Wutu Essence Qi rapidly dispersed, filling the space around him, making the entire space instantly incredibly heavy.
The gluttony great mouths and Demon Legion released by Beelzebub seemed to enter a world of slow motion. In the blink of an eye, golden light flashed across the sky. The Wutu Golden Dragon swept its dragon tail, and the countless gluttony great mouths and demons were directly beaten into ash and exploded!
"Gulp!"
The Old Demon Dragon extended his head. His head transformed into a dragon head several thousand meters in size, and he swallowed the scattered limbs and remains of the demons floating in space in one gulp.
Beelzebub releasing these gluttony great mouths wasn't truly intending to decide a victor against the Old Demon Dragon. He also didn't expect these gluttony great mouths and small fry-like demons to hold him back for long. Taking advantage of the moment the Old Demon Dragon was distracted, a mass of plague insects separated from the green cloud and rushed towards the Thanos corpse.
He wanted to get his hands on the three Infinity Stones!
When this mass of green cloud rushed before the Thanos corpse, it transformed back into human form.
Just as Beelzebub's palm was about to touch Thanos's headless corpse, Frank swung his thick Dark Gold Great Staff, bringing it down on Beelzebub's head.
"Get lost!" Beelzebub's body was covered in thick green smoke. He opened his mouth and let out a bellow towards Frank. Countless mosquitoes and flies swarmed out of his mouth, rushing towards Frank.
"Frank, don't get in the way! I'll spare your life!"
Facing Frank's attack, Beelzebub directly split off a portion of plague insects to block Frank! Frank looked at this guy who didn't know his life and death, a hint of compassion in his eyes. He knew the force of Boss's Golden Hoop Binding Method.
Did he really think that by escaping to this universe, that forbidden technique would lose its effect, or did this guy believe he could break Boss's forbidden technique with the Infinity Stones?
A thick red radiance appeared on Frank's body. Under the Dark Gold Great Staff, space seemed to tremble. With one strike, he directly smashed half of Beelzebub's body into pieces.
Tens of millions of plague insects turned into ash under his single strike.
However, Beelzebub completely disregarded the Great Staff smashing towards him from Frank. Knowing that Hela was lurking somewhere, ready to give him a strike at any moment, he understood the preciousness of time. He would risk severe injury to get his hands on these three Infinity Stones.
As long as he got these three Infinity Stones, he wouldn't need to fear that mere humanity anymore!
Just as Beelzebub's palm truly touched the Infinity Gauntlet, a mass of purple streaking light suddenly condensed and formed on the Infinity Gauntlet, transforming into a war spear that directly pierced through his body.
Beelzebub looked at the transparent hole in his chest, then looked at the suddenly clenched purple fist. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
After piercing through Beelzebub's body, the purple streaking light's momentum didn't decrease, directly penetrating a meteorite several thousand kilometers behind Beelzebub.
That meteorite, which was a thousand meters in size, was torn apart from its outer shell, directly exploding into a pile of dust that scattered.
Frank's body suddenly transformed into a golden light and escaped several hundred kilometers away, staring from a distance at the headless corpse that had suddenly stood up.
Red, orange, and purple radiance surrounded Thanos's body. Then, an indescribably immense strength appeared from the unseen. Under this strength, Thanos's shattered head was restored to its original state!
"No! Death! You can't do this to me!"
Thanos, who had been kicked out of the Death World, hovered in The Void. He raised his hands, looked at the space above his head, and let out the whimper of a defeated dog.
Frank looked at the resurrected Thanos. With a flick of the Dark Gold Great Staff in his hand, the meteorites formed from the shattered asteroid around him were given an explosive propelling force. They streaked across the cold space, bombarding Thanos from all directions.
Facing the meteorites sent by Frank, Thanos frowned. The purple light of the Power Gem in his hand spread out, and those meteorites instantly turned into dust and vanished.
"Thanos!"
Looking at the resurrected Thanos, a flash of anger crossed Clark Kent's eyes. His figure was like leaping lightning.
In a bellow, he appeared before Thanos and smashed a fist towards Thanos's face.
"Bang"
Thanos raised his hand and blocked in front of himself with the Right Hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.
The clash between the two instantly stirred up a powerful shockwave around them. The countless meteorites in the surroundings were swept thousands of miles away like sand in the wind.
