Alliance with Thanos! The Might of Nemesis, the Goddess of Vengeance!

"Before the Living Tribunal appeared, Nemesis was the first..."

"An omnipotent judge?"

"Responsible for judging the Cosmic Gods?"

Chen Ji squinted.

See the information displayed by the Entry System.

At this moment, he finally understood what position the Nemesis held in the Infinite Multiverse!

So Nemesis was the 'Living Tribunal'!

In Greek mythology, Nemesis represents ruthless justice and holds the Authority of judgment and divine punishment!

She is the perfect candidate to serve as the all-powerful judge!

The key question is, why did the Living Tribunal replace her?

Nemesis was even forced to disintegrate, transforming into the seven Infinity Stones?

Could it be that her dictatorship and judgment annoyed the Cosmic Gods, leading them to elect Living Tribunal to overthrow the Nemesis?

The Living Tribunal, acting as OAA's agent, oversees the entire Infinite Multiverse on his behalf.

So, what is the relationship between Nemesis, the Goddess of Vengeance, and the One-Above-All (OAA)?

Chen Ji was deeply puzzled.

Now I finally understand why Nemesis transformed into Nemesis!

I doubt anyone could accept such cruel treatment!

From the omnipotent judge of the Multiverse, it split into seven Infinity Stones, and using these seven Infinity Stones as a reference, it created even more Infinity Stones.

It was as if we had touched upon the ultimate truth of the Multiverse.

Chen Ji's expression was extremely complicated.

After all, the Living Tribunal can be rotated; even the Adam Warlock before us was once Living Tribunal!

What, then, is truly Eternity?

Even the Eternity among the Creator Deity is merely the sixth Cosmic Avatar!

Perhaps, even becoming the Cosmic Avatar cannot lead to Eternity.

Only by becoming an OAA can you succeed!

"I will destroy the Multiverse and take revenge on the Cosmic Gods!"

"Including the Living Tribunal..."

"They actually took my place!"

Where are the real Infinity Stones?

"Give it back to me!!"

The Nemesis had eyes that flashed like lightning.

Long-forgotten memories resurfaced one after another.

Before the Multiverse came into being, she was the omnipotent judge appointed by the First Firmament, specifically to judge the gods for the First Firmament and prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

However.

The Supreme Celestial Arishem led a portion of the Celestials in rebellion and shattered the First Firmament!

The fragments that fell from the First Firmament not only transformed into the Multiverse, but also formed the Old Ones and Outer Gods, and even constituted the souls of intelligent life!

Subsequently, as a member of the First Firmament, she was targeted by the God of Beginnings and the Cosmic Avatar, and the Living Tribunal appeared out of nowhere, forcing her to the edge of the universe!

Unwilling to be humiliated, she chose to self-destruct, disintegrating into Infinity Stones!

It also created this One-and-Only Universe!

Fortunately, she used up her last bit of energy to send the gem deep into the universe, thus avoiding being found by the Living Tribunal.

Nemesis would revive on its own after a period of slumber.

During the last resurrection, she encountered the Mad Titan!

She even passed on her knowledge and skills to the Mad Titan!

Unbeknownst to her, she corrupted Thanos's soul, imbuing him with his innate Destiny, all in order to collect the Infinity Stones and be resurrected once more!

Because...

The Multiverse is facing a transformation!

She endured seven lifetimes, undoubtedly wanting to take advantage of the Cosmic Cycle to avenge herself against all the Cosmic Gods and reclaim her rightful place!

Although the plan encountered some setbacks.

But she survived!

If she obtains the true Infinity Stones and then destroys this One-and-Only Universe, sacrificing trillions of lives within it, she will advance even further, becoming comparable to the Cosmic Avatar!

Even the most powerful of the Old Ones has responded to her plan and is about to invade this One-and-Only Universe!

The first Creator Deity to be eliminated is death itself!

"Thanos."

"Did you see that?"

"The universe doesn't need you at all."

"She needs you to collect the Infinity Stones."

You've been scammed.

Chen Ji's tone was indifferent.

They have no intention of handing over the Infinity Stones.

Although Nemesis, who stood before him, was a supreme ruler who transcended all other realms.

We can't let him compromise!

Once Earth-996 is destroyed, everything he knows will be reduced to ashes, and no living being will be able to escape; they will all perish with the current universe!

Furthermore, Nemesis didn't even need to destroy the universe; he could easily sacrifice the entire universe simply by killing Adam Warlock!

To possess all the energy of this One-and-Only Universe and ascend to the highest level!

He absolutely must be wary!

"The universe doesn't need me at all?"

Thanos looked blank.

For the first time, he began to doubt the Destiny he had come to believe in.

So this is 'Destiny'...

It was just a lie?

Is this something Nemesis fabricated?

What was the point of everything he did?

Destroying this universe would bring it back into balance?

How will he survive?

He would rather die in battle than live in humiliation.

"Thanos."

"I acknowledge your contribution. You will be an exception, able to survive with me into the next generation."

"You can become a being like Galactus."

"But the condition is that you continue to serve me and follow the Destiny I have given you, otherwise..."

"You are now completely worthless."

Nemesis sneered.

She had long since erased her emotions.

As the first ruthless and all-powerful judge, she always upheld absolute justice!

The just order she established is the foundation for maintaining the universe; the universe has no need to change or restart repeatedly!

Under the rule of a just order, the Cosmic Gods each perform their duties and work together to combat the Entropy Increase!

Only intervention can bring order to everything.

And when everything gets out of control, restarting the universe is simply a lazy act that she finds despicable!

"Destiny?"

"How ridiculous."

Thanos shook his head.

This is not the Destiny he follows!

It was all a lie!

Since it's all a lie, is there any point in completing it?

But he didn't change his mind; he still needed the Infinity Stones to purify half of all life in the universe!

Because...

This is a way to avoid the universe reboot!

Only a sufficient number of intelligent life forms can incubate Cosmic Celestial.

An excess of cosmic life will also lead to a cycle of renewal and restart!

Therefore, during the Cosmic Cycle, there are always universes that are spared from destruction, and even after seven lifetimes, they still maintain their Sacred Timeline!

In short.

The Cosmic Cycle is like the changing of dynasties.

Different universes and planets are like cities built by different dynasties.

Even if a dynasty falls, a city may still be preserved.

In fact, the value of One-and-Only Universe is comparable to that of a royal palace; who would destroy a royal palace?

Therefore, the Multiverse has undergone seven Cosmic Cycle, but its impact on Earth-996 work schedule is minimal!

But no one expected that an anomaly would appear!

Through his abilities and fortuitous encounters, he gradually grew into a One-and-Only God, and even gained control of Knowledge Authority, enabling him to comprehend the laws of the universe!

But this directly clashes with the Nemesis!

He has become the embodiment of the World Will, handpicked and chosen by the Creator, and is almost inextricably linked to the fate of the Earth, sharing both its glory and its loss!

So...

He absolutely cannot stand by Nemesis destroy this universe!

At this time.

A bitter look appeared on Chen Ji's face.

They finally realized what was happening.

"The Creator..."

"Did you foresee Nemesis's resurrection?"

"That's why I'll inherit the World Will?"

"Now there's no way to escape."

Chen Ji was speechless.

The Creator's schemes are too deep!

If Chen Ji had not assumed the role of the World Will, then even if the Nemesis awakened, he could still bring Kamar-Taj into the Painted Realm and travel to other universes via TVA.

In the Infinite Multiverse, there's always a place that suits him!

But this God’s Hand the Creator directly blocked Chen Ji's escape route, forcing him to stop Nemesis!

He had no way to return to Earth, because the Child of the Plane was both far away and right before his eyes.

If Nemesis kills him, the entire universe will perish with him!

"Thanos."

"Let me tell you a secret."

"The Adam Warlock before you is the legendary Child of the Plane, the embodiment of Cosmic Consciousness; he is the universe itself."

"Only by protecting him can we ensure the safety of the universe, therefore..."

What's your choice?

Chen Ji's eyes held a playful glint.

He looked at Thanos again.

This was the first formal conversation between the two.

Because the situation has changed drastically!

Nemesis is the real enemy!

A formidable enemy is at hand.

Any conflict is secondary!

Thanos understood this principle perfectly well!

"Cooperate."

"I know about the Child of the Plane."

"But could he be the Child of the Plane?"

Are you sure you're not joking?

Thanos frowned.

Carefully examining the Adam Warlock, looking at this slow-witted fool, he couldn't believe that he was the Child of the Plane.

"Sure."

"One hundred percent certain."

Chen Ji nodded slightly.

This also made Thanos realize that Chen Ji might possess a mysterious ability, enough to see through the background of his target!

However.

Thanos looked at Nemesis and gripped Tyrant's Blade tighter. How could he possibly deal with the resurrection of such a powerful figure?

"Now..."

"Can we return our bodies now?"

Ebony Maw's voice was hoarse.

Thanks to the protection of the Ego Stone, Thanos's son escaped the Snap, but was unable to unleash his full power.

The soul and the body are both indispensable!

"I hope you will stop your underhanded tactics."

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

Immediately, he returned Thanos's son's body and threw it back in front of everyone.

Thanos's son's soul returned to his body, and Thanos breathed a sigh of relief!

I thought I was about to become Spectre!

"Etc."

"Aren't you going to fight anymore?"

"Now we're teammates?"

"Can someone explain this to me?"

The Adam Warlock looked bewildered.

He still hasn't figured it out.

The brain is not fully developed, the cerebellum is completely underdeveloped, it's outrageously stupid!

But this has nothing to do with the Adam Warlock himself.

Who allowed High Evolutionary to unleash his power ahead of schedule?

"It's only a temporary alliance. Even after we get rid of Nemesis, we'll still have to fight our own battles."

Chen Ji chuckled.

In fact, they also felt quite apprehensive.

How can Nemesis be killed without using the Infinity Gauntlet?

I'm afraid they'll use the Infinity Gauntlet...

Even the Snap couldn't harm Nemesis in the slightest!

Because this was originally her sacred relic!

It might even amplify Nemesis's power, allowing her to assimilate all the Infinity Stones!

"A temporary alliance..."

Thanos's eyes flickered.

It seems Chen Ji also knows him and has not given up on his Destiny.

He still wants to collect Infinity Stones and snap his the Snap!

And what we call Destiny can also be described as an obsession!

Only the Snap can save us from the Cosmic Cycle!

As Cursed by Knowledge, Thanos could not easily trust Nemesis. Only after learning various secrets did he arrive at this final conclusion!

He will clean up the universe, while the High Evolutionary will be responsible for rebuilding it. The two can work together seamlessly, which is why they have the current tacit understanding!

But Nemesis's resurrection also made him wary.

Is it really possible to defeat such a Creator Deity?!

"Thanos."

Are you betraying me?

"Even you're going to betray me?"

"Damn it!"

"I've forgotten where your knowledge came from?"

Nemesis said sternly.

She wasn't always asleep; she could also receive information through the Infinity Stones, thus gaining access to countless cosmic Mystery.

She passed on almost everything she knew to Thanos.

He even regarded Thanos as his last disciple.

However.

Thanos actually decided to betray us?

They're such ungrateful wretches!

If she had known earlier, she definitely wouldn't have supported Thanos; she would have let Thanos die instead!

"My knowledge comes from my brain."

"What If...? I didn't have wisdom, how could I acquire this knowledge? It's not that I need you, but that you need me."

Thanos scoffed.

He wasn't confused.

Someone as exceptionally gifted as him is someone you won't find another like in the entire universe!

Even the Elders of the Universe, the Living Planet Ego, is not qualified to be compared to him!

Because...

The power he possesses comes from training, not from anyone bestowing it upon him!

With the Ego Stone in hand, his confidence soared, and his power to shake the laws of the universe was something no ordinary person could withstand!

"Thanos."

"Since you choose to betray me, then you must accept my judgment. I am the first all-powerful judge."

"You won't escape divine retribution and punishment!"

Nemesis was furious.

Immediately, she raised her slender arms, and a massive surge of energy erupted around her. The seven Infinity Stones shone brightly, instantly radiating divine light.

A violent, thunderous beam of energy suddenly struck the Mad Titan!

This is the Divine Punishment Power that Nemesis possesses!

Even the Cosmic Gods could not withstand this energy!

Once judged by Nemesis, they will surely die without a burial place; even Soul Disintegration is a pipe dream!

Therefore, the Cosmic Gods since the creation of the world elected the Living Tribunal, which, following the principles of fairness and justice, launched a united attack on Nemesis!

In the eyes of the Cosmic Gods, Nemesis was simply unfit to be the omnipotent judge!

Because she possessed the Divine Punishment Power, yet she always judged arbitrarily, without considering the reasons, and based entirely on her mood, she created countless wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, which incurred the hatred of the gods!

"It seems..."

You need my help.

A mysterious, deep voice rang out.

Suddenly.

A semi-transparent monk's figure appeared out of thin air beside Chen Ji.

His bald head gleamed, his body seemed both real and unreal, and his eyes, like celestial bodies in the starry sky, radiated dazzling light.

"Watcher?"

"You knew all along that Nemesis would be resurrected?"

Chen Ji was playing with flavor.
