Chapter 604: Strangle
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
Somewhere in the vast Multiverse, Death stood silently at the edge of a magnificent palace, quietly observing the birth and destruction of countless Universes.
Every minute, every second, an incalculable number of Souls were received by Death. Occasionally, some slipped through the net, like those who prolonged their lives or achieved Revival through various means, but Death couldn't be bothered with them.
"Are you just going to watch? Thanos alone can't succeed, and you'll completely offend Tony." A blurry figure appeared beside Death.
One of the Five Great Gods, Eternity.
Death said coldly, "When I sent Thanos's Soul in, I had already succeeded. Thanos's Soul is in my hands, and I can use Thanos to spy on Tony's divinity."
"Indeed, true to your style..." Eternity tilted its head slightly; two blinding, bulb-like rays of light illuminated everything, but the rest of its form remained shrouded in thick darkness.
"So, the Thanos from the Main Universe... do you still want him?" Eternity asked.
"Of course. After enduring the cleansing of a Singular God's divinity, he will become incredibly powerful. Soon, I will have another trump card in my hand," Death said indifferently.
"Is that so..." Eternity gently shook its head.
That New God would be provoked. In the future, Death might face great trouble, because that New God was never one to let things go.
"No one can kill me, because I am Death," Death said lightly.
"I had originally intended to make contact with the New God, but seeing your attitude, I'll reconsider," Eternity turned and entered the darkness. "Well then, good luck."
...
"Thanos, this is our seventh meeting."
Tony looked down at the struggling Thanos like God, as Thanos slowly crumbled under the cleansing Power of a Singular God.
It was a collapse in the true sense; recklessly rushing into the divinity of a Singular God was absolutely courting death.
Yet, Death had done just that.
"I have always awaited this day. This is my decision," Thanos roared in pain, unsure if it was physical agony or mental anguish.
"Your decision? No, this is Death's decision, and even more so, your destiny. From the moment you were born, you were fated to never escape Death's entanglement..." Tony said lightly.
"Escape Death...? In the entire Multiverse, how many can escape Death? Who dares to say they will never die?" Thanos sneered coolly.
"That's true..." Tony smiled with a hint of indifference, slowly extending his hand.
Within his divinity, in a vast and endless vortex, a gigantic palm suddenly appeared, grabbing Thanos as if he were a doll, then squeezing hard.
Thanos's Soul was crushed on the spot.
The next second, a brand new Thanos Soul slowly formed, continuing to be cleansed by the Power. Whether it was an illusion or not, a powerful Aura seemed to emerge from deep within Thanos's Soul.
It was an Aura from his divinity, loaded by Thanos amidst Death and New Life.
"Trouble... Death is manipulating you. That old hag wants to absorb my Power and turn you into a powerful Quasi-Singular God, but unfortunately, she's miscalculated."
"Some beings, accustomed to being Omnipotent deities, are used to billions of lives bowing and showering them with praise. Over time, even their minds become clouded."
"The more powerful they are, the more this holds true. Death is solely focused on gaining benefits from me, yet she has never considered the risks or the possibility of failure."
"Death, too, can be killed..."
Tony once again grabbed Thanos, looked at him for a moment, then threw him into the Allspark.
The Allspark, a conceptual singular Artifact, existed between being and non-being, similar in form to the Anti-Life Equation.
Thanos's tiny Soul was instantly Devoured by the Allspark. Its powerful Creation and Destruction abilities activated simultaneously, directly initiating a Purge of Thanos's Core.
Little by little, Tony erased Death's Mark, then activated his Creation ability, twisting Thanos's Soul. Tony's powerful Willpower poured in, violently replacing Death.
Could Death truly make Thanos immortal? It was merely relying on her millennia-long control over the Multiverse and over Thanos.
If the Souls of the dead belonged to Death, then Tony definitely didn't mind using Thanos as a battlefield.
Tony's own Power was inferior to Death's, but he possessed the Allspark, which subtly restrained Death. Anything created by the Allspark's Power belonged to Tony, becoming his Constructs, and was deeply branded with Tony's Mark.
Unending flames surged from Thanos, burning all the way into the hidden corners of the Multiverse.
Death's grim skull swayed, seemingly surprised and enraged.
"You want to play? I'll play with you! Death, too, has a day to die!" Tony's ominous voice echoed in Death's ears.
Death's jaw clacked open and closed: "Many of your friends and family are also under my control, such as Wanda."
"Then try it. I don't believe you dare provoke Elder God Chthon? Wanda is Chthon's only Chaos Magic user in the Multiverse. If you dare touch Wanda, Chthon will never let you go."
"Likewise, I will never let you go. You will become the enemy of two gods," Tony replied with an icy voice.
Talking sense to a bitch like Death was useless. Given the chance, it was best to kill her immediately.
Death, too, could die.
"Give Thanos back to me, and I will no longer interfere with your affairs," Death said.
"Give me your life, and I will no longer hold a grudge against you," Tony said coldly.
Death was silent for a moment, then dropped a "As you wish."
The pulsating Allspark slowly receded.
It was at this moment that Tony's divinity finally stabilized completely. A massive source of Energy provided Tony with immense Power. For a moment, Tony felt he could easily destroy a Universe.
Power, information, knowledge, rules, Potential... this was divinity, the culmination of all that a Singular God possessed. Whether tangible or intangible, everything a Singular God had was unique.
Tony waved his hand, and a weak Soul appeared in his grasp.
"Master," Thanos said with utmost respect. His Soul had been modified by Tony using the Allspark, turning him into a loyal hound.
"What a pity," Tony sighed with regret. He then extended his hand and crushed Thanos, grinding him into dust.
This time, the Thanos of the Main Universe was truly, completely dead.
Of course, if Death wished, she could always create a new Thanos, merely by stuffing him with a heap of false memories. That Thanos would be indistinguishable from the one Tony had killed.
But that was no longer important.
"The Nirvana Universe is transforming into the Cancerverse..."
Tony sat steadily on the Mobius Chair, radiating a Supreme luster that effortlessly permeated the dilapidated Universe.
