"Ah, what's there to even consider about such a good thing..."
Hoggoth smacked its lips, a regretful expression on its face, as if sighing that he hadn't managed to win Tony over.
Agamotto showed no surprise, maintaining his gentle and amicable demeanor: "Go ahead and ask. Anything we can answer, we will tell you directly."
"My first question is, just how strong is the Speed Force Wall? What level of God can it block?" Tony asked slowly.
This was a very general yet crucially important question.
"Generally speaking, beings that haven't reached the Omniverse Level find it very difficult for their true form to break through the Speed Force Wall—but there are always exceptions. Some Singular Gods possess special means to allow their true form to enter the Multiverse, though such situations are quite rare."
Agamotto replied.
"What about Trigon? Can his true form break through the Speed Force Wall's obstruction?" Tony asked gravely.
The three exchanged glances, falling silent for a moment before Oshtur replied: "Perhaps, perhaps not. Strength at the Great Universe Level can already exert tremendous pressure on the Speed Force Wall. The Speed Force wall is merely an inanimate object, and the Speed Force's Collective Consciousness is nothing more than a sophisticated, advanced program. To be able to block a God of the Great Universe Level is already quite remarkable."
"Under what circumstances would it be impossible?"
"For instance, if a Multiversal native were to summon Trigon, powerful summoning abilities could become the crucial straw, allowing Trigon's true form to barely break through the Speed Force Wall's obstruction and enter the Multiverse."
Tony's heart sank.
"You don't need to worry, Tony. Even if someone truly did that, Trigon wouldn't dare to enter the Multiverse with his true form," Agamotto said with a slight smile. "The Living Tribunal would never condone an evil being like Trigon."
"Villains like Trigon, who are utterly depraved, have long been on the Living Tribunal's Blacklist, placed in the highest surveillance sequence. If Trigon dares to send his true form into the Multiverse, the Living Tribunal will surely settle the score with him."
Only then did Tony slightly relax.
The Living Tribunal, a powerful Life Form of Tier Nine Omniverse Level, bears the responsibility of overseeing Gods. It can be understood as a mighty Grand Judge.
For minor skirmishes, the Living Tribunal wouldn't care; it wouldn't be able to manage them all. But if Trigon's true form were to break through the Speed Force Wall and wreak havoc upon the Multiverse, the Living Tribunal would not tolerate it.
The Living Tribunal would only need a single move to deal with Trigon.
"My second question is, I want to know about Elder God Chthon's situation," Tony said slowly.
The Vishanti trio fell silent.
Tony said: "I want to know how strong he truly is, what his intentions are, and where he is now."
"His strength? He's no weaker than me," Oshtur replied. "Both he and I were among the first Chaos Deities created by the Creator of Gods. As you are now, you are far from Chthon's match."
"I never intended to be an enemy of Chthon, but Wanda is using his Chaos Magic. Over time, Wanda's Willpower will be twisted by Chthon's Willpower. This hidden danger must be resolved," Tony said calmly.
"Then there are only two solutions: Chthon takes back the Magic within Wanda, or you kill Chthon," Hoggoth said in a deep voice.
"No one knows his precise Coordinate. He escaped after the three of us jointly crippled him, and he hasn't shown himself since," Agamotto replied.
Tony frowned in thought for a moment, feeling helpless.
He didn't even know where Chthon was, unable to pinpoint his location, much less kill him.
As for negotiations... with Chthon's insane and extreme personality, solving problems through negotiation was even more impossible.
Chthon yearned to kill Tony, seize the Profound Mystery of the Singular God, and achieve Deification himself.
Otherwise, he would never be able to defeat Vishanti, who is a Singular God. If it were a one-on-one fight, Chthon would be capable of killing Agamotto and Hoggoth, but he couldn't defeat Oshtur.
Moreover, the Vishanti are a Trinity. When have they ever foolishly dueled someone one-on-one? As soon as something happens, all three immediately rush forward to gang up.
The Singular God Vishanti, comprised of three Quasi-Unique Gods, is sufficient to deal with any enemy.
After chatting for a while longer, Tony decided to take his leave.
"You are already a Singular God and capable of creating powerful Physical Avatars. There's no need to act in person every time; your true form isn't yet powerful enough to disregard all dangers," Agamotto reminded him.
To put it plainly, always acting with your true form makes you very susceptible to death.
In the long years past, there have also been Singular Gods who fell, such as the First Firmament, who was besieged and killed by Eternity and other Gods.
A Singular God is difficult to kill, but that doesn't mean they are unkillable. If the true form dies, everything is over.
"I'll keep that in mind," Tony nodded seriously.
Hoggoth enthusiastically said: "So, why don't you just join us? We'd be happy to save a spot for you."
"Even if I really joined you, would Vishanti still be the Singular God Vishanti?" Tony asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
A Singular God, everything is unique. Since Vishanti is comprised of the three of them, it means no outsider can interfere.
"No problem, worst case, we'll just split into two individuals when we fight: Vishanti as one, and you as one," Hoggoth declared self-righteously.
Oshtur, unable to tolerate it any longer, promptly pushed Hoggoth over and said coldly: "Tony, you may leave."
Agamotto expressed his willingness to send Tony back to the Main Universe.
"No need. Just send me to the edge of the Speed Force Wall. After all, this is just a Spirit form. Thank you for your help; I won't forget this kindness," Tony said after a moment of contemplation.
A massive surge of Magic Power enveloped Tony, sweeping him towards the Speed Force Wall.
The Spirit Tony sat inside a bubble, observing the situation in the Sphere of the Gods. When he approached the Speed Force Wall again, a ferocious, evil-looking figure was already waiting for him.
"Tony!! You vile thief!" Trigon sneered, his six eyes wide, filled with crimson malice.
Tony's expression turned cold: "What the hell did I steal from you?"
"You stole my daughter! You also stole my daughter's chance to become a Singular God!" Trigon cackled loudly, deep malice gleaming in his eyes.
"If you're going to make excuses, at least pick one that showcases your status. Don't come out with such idiotic reasons," Tony retorted with a mocking smirk.
"My daughter, Raven, possesses astonishing talent. I've never seen such terrifying talent. I originally intended to mold her into my foremost general, to make her the Queen of Hell."
Trigon exuded a nauseating stench of blood. "But all of this was destroyed by you. Even if you became a Singular God, you will pay the price for your foolish actions."
"I came here to tell you: if you dare to come to the Main Universe, I will kill you. Every single time you come, I will kill you."
Tony stared into Trigon's eyes.
"The Main Universe is my territory!"
Trigon waved his hand indifferently. The next second, Tony's Spirit form was utterly shattered and died on the spot.
