God-Slaying Weapon
Xandar.
On the screen of the Nova Empire, a bright light flashed, and then the entire image went dark. Queen Adora abruptly stood up from her throne, her nails digging deeply into the armrests.
"Speed up the evacuation!"
She roared, but before she could finish speaking, a destructive energy wave crashed into Xandar like a heavy hammer.
The planet's defenses failed even for a moment; the atmosphere was instantly stripped away, the surface began to crack, and countless cities were reduced to ruins amidst the tremors.
Sakaar.
In the Grandmaster's arena, the audience stared at the sky in terror.
A massive energy ripple surged forth like a tsunami, causing buildings to collapse and turn to dust in its wake.
The Grandmaster scrambled into his secret sanctuary, muttering repeatedly, "This can't be real! This can't be!"
The Void.
The Collector had just escaped in his spaceship when he saw the Void behind him shattering under the impact of the energy storm.
The Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire: The smiles on the faces of the two countries' leaders, who were originally gloating, have now frozen, replaced by endless fear.
The energy storm rapidly approached, and their defense system was rendered useless by it, collapsing instantly.
Flames erupted from the planet's surface, once-prosperous cities were razed to the ground, and the inhabitants were unknowingly torn into particles by the energy impact and disappeared into the vast universe.
Even Earth, more than 3,000 light-years away, was affected.
The war here is nearing its end.
Pamela was the first to notice the surge of power and was about to deploy her defenses when she was stopped by Galacta.
"Dad, get back to work after you finish eating, and protect the entire solar system."
Galacta's voice reached Galactus's ears, drawing his attention to the energy surge.
"This girl."
Galactus smiled helplessly and released the Celestials who hadn't finished eating.
Purple energy instantly enveloped the entire solar system.
Gwen looked on with some concern, noting that the shining star could be seen even during the day.
"Sister Pamela, let's go help!"
"No need, because there's someone with him, right Sister Venom?"
Pamela smiled at Venom, who was still clinging to Xi.
"... How did you discover that I'm no different from my original self?"
Venom released Xi and asked in confusion, knowing that Kino had noticed something was wrong.
"I'm guessing, because the Sister Venom I know wouldn't stay still in one place."
Pamela blinked and said playfully.
"Pamela, you're getting harder and harder to fool."
Venom's body gradually transformed into lightning and disappeared.
Residual time.
Venom normally collects and disperses some of its Speed Force, but because the amount is too small, it doesn't have much power.
The others had guessed where the real Venom was, and they relaxed. As long as the Venom was around, there was no danger—this was the consensus among them.
Seeing her mother disappear, Duyao's predatory gaze fell upon Qiji, who was still fast asleep.
"Duyao, what are you trying to do?"
Gwen picked up Duyao and pinched her little face.
"Playing with my little brother..."
"Duyao said in a childish voice."
Kino and Arishem faced off at the center of the energy storm.
On Arishem's lightsaber, Quasar energy surged wildly, attempting to Annihilus Kino completely.
Kino's Chaos Greatsword, however, emitted a mysterious light, resisting the opponent's attacks.
The two greatswords were locked in a stalemate, and energy burst forth like fireworks at the point where their blades collided.
"Your abilities are strong, but useless against me. Give up and join me as Celestials who maintain the universe."
Arishem extended an invitation.
After Kino gained the ability to transform into the Celestials, he saw them as the new Celestials.
"Useless my ass! If you hadn't been using your own clone to die in your place, I would have killed you eight hundred years ago."
"You claim to protect the universe? Look at what you've actually protected!"
Kino immediately started swearing.
He had never encountered such a disgusting and hypocritical person.
This also confirms that this Arishem is definitely the strongest one in the multiverse; otherwise, he would have been killed by his counterpart long ago if he hadn't used this kind of maneuver.
"This is your sin of rebellion, but once you join us, I will recreate a new star system. In a hundred years at most, this place will be back to normal."
Arishem said calmly.
They care about the universe as a whole.
"Fine, you son of a bitch!"
"I don't have an old man."
"Grass!"
Kino felt so nauseous he wanted to throw up.
Even if he were to destroy this galaxy, he would definitely have a reason for it, and he would openly admit it, only telling others...
Yes, I did it. If you disagree, I'll kill you too!
Reality: The two greatswords are locked in a stalemate.
False: The Chaos Greatsword cuts through the Quasar Greatsword.
Replace!
The Quasar greatsword, constantly spewing energy, was directly severed, while the Chaos Greatsword, with its remaining momentum, cleaved Arishem in two from the upper left to the lower right.
In an instant, the dead Arishem vanished, turning into countless specks of light.
A new Arishem appeared not far away, emanating the same powerful aura.
"Damn it! How many more times do I have to kill you?!"
Kino is really about to break down.
"Countless times, every moment, new Parallel Universe are being born. Our duty Celestials is to maintain order in every universe, therefore..."
Arishem began explaining the duties of the Celestials.
The emergence of multiverse-level Celestials is extremely rare. With Kino, their subsequent mass production of Celestials might be able to break through the multiverse level.
"###"
Kino turned to look in the direction of Earth; he was already planning to call for help.
I'm going to make sure this bastard is killed today, otherwise he won't be able to swallow this insult.
[Looks like someone's run out of options and is planning to call for reinforcements.] A familiar voice echoed in Kino's mind.
Kino was slightly taken aback, wondering if he was hallucinating.
"The Venom hasn't left my body?"
[I finally managed to fool you once. We're even now.]
Kino smiled helplessly. One of them had run away before the plan even started. It was all that bastard's fault. At this moment Kino's hatred for Arishem reached its peak.
"If you're there, plug my ears. I'm going to scream for help."
Kino was truly at her wit's end.
The only option is to find Lucifer.
Do you want to kill him with your own hands?
Venom's voice, filled with laughter, rang out; it was the first time she had ever seen Kino hate someone so much.
"Do you have a solution?"
Kino's eyes lit up.
Since Venom said that, there must be a way.
[Not necessarily. I'm just trying it out; if I can't kill it, I'll call Lucifer.]
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Tell me your idea."
[Some time ago, a space connected to my body, and there was a weapon inside.]
"Arms?"
[That's right, the God-Slaying Weapon. You didn't get it before because you didn't meet the conditions to use it. Now you can try it.]
Arishem in the movie loves to preach.
