Howard the Duck! Thanos's Death!
[Elders of the Universe] (Gold): As the earliest form of cosmic life, he possesses extraordinary wisdom and abilities, and also performs some kind of secret duty.
[All-Knowing] (Gold): He knows almost all the Mystery of the current universe, understands every item in his collection, and can see different information presented by things.
Two gold panels?
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
This is unexpected!
How could a seemingly insignificant Elders of the Universe in the show actually possess two gold panels?
"Elders of the Universe..."
"Performing some kind of clandestine duty?"
"Able to see different information presented by things?"
"What are your responsibilities?"
Chen Ji squinted.
Although Chen Ji was well aware of the existence of the Elders of the Universe and had seen detailed descriptions in the Kamar-Taj scriptures.
But to everyone's surprise, the Elders of the Universe each had their own specific roles!
But to whom do the Elders of the Universe pledge allegiance?
It seems that in other universes, the Elders of the Universe are in charge of the Infinity Stones!
Thanos cleverly obtained all the Infinity Stones from the Elders of the Universe before snapping his the Snap!
Grandmaster, the Collector, Ego...
They are all among the Elders of the Universe.
In addition, there are the In-Betweener and the Gardener, the Champion and the Runner, and a Stranger also has deep ties with the Elders of the Universe.
All the Elders of the Universe are immortal individuals at the highest level of evolution, almost free from death, surviving since the Big Bang and residing in different realms.
Seemingly unrelated, they secretly orchestrate the changes in the universe and will intervene when a crisis erupts to resolve events that threaten them!
Could this be the mission of the Elders of the Universe?
Are the Elders of the Universe, like the Cosmic Celestial, only responsible for Single Universe?
The Collector possess the Ultimate Nullifier, and it's unlikely they're doing it solely for collecting!
More likely, in order to protect the Ultimate Nullifier and prevent other life forms from misusing it, leading to the destruction of the universe.
After all, the Ultimate Nullifier is essentially Void Controller.
It can erase everything!
As Elders of the Universe, the Collector can naturally unleash his full power, easily eliminating targets that oppose him, including the Infinity Gauntlet and Chen Ji!
"The Grandmaster's scepter seems to be a divine artifact, capable of melting everything. What if Thanos of the What If... Universe was defeated like that..."
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
Maybe every one of the Elders of the Universe possesses a divine artifact!
Fortunately, the Elders of the Universe are considered lawful neutrals, so there's no need to worry about them causing trouble for the time being.
The crucial issue is that he needs the Ultimate Nullifier to wipe out Nemesis!
He could even sense the aura of the Nemesis rapidly enveloping the entire Knowhere!
A deafening tremor rang out!
Looking out through the museum's skylight, you can see a majestic, mystical, seemingly real yet ethereal, noble figure that has descended upon this place!
"Nemesis?!?"
"You mean Nemesis?"
"The first omnipotent judge in Infinite Multiverse?"
"How could she have come back to life?!"
"Did you lead her to the Knowhere?"
The Collector's eyes widened, his heart pounding with fear.
He also saw the Nemesis descending from the sky!
Nemesis!
Symbolizing ruthless justice, wielding the Divine Punishment Power, and being the source of the Infinity Stones, the first all-powerful judge!
Her birth occurred even before the Living Tribunal.
She is both a member of the First Firmament and a daughter of the First Firmament!
It is said that in order to kill Nemesis, the Living Tribunal, the God of Beginnings, and even the Cosmic Celestial mobilized almost their entire force, which forced Nemesis to disintegrate!
Now that Nemesis has been resurrected, the Cosmic Gods have left the lower dimensions and settled in the higher dimensions, scattered across different dimensions, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Resealing Nemesis is a task even the Elders of the Universe cannot accomplish!
"So..."
"I'm the one who needs the Ultimate Nullifier."
"Tivan."
"Only the Ultimate Nullifier can erase Nemesis."
Chen Ji was frank and open.
It also reveals the fact that Nemesis is incomplete.
"Incomplete?"
"It seems to be true!"
"List."
"The Ultimate Nullifier is my lifeline."
How could I possibly hand it over to you?
"Since the Ultimate Nullifier can erase Nemesis, then let me do it."
After observing the Collector, the collectors felt somewhat relieved.
If a super-powerful figure from the realm of multiverses were to arrive in the Knowhere, he would truly be helpless and would have no choice but to resort to the thirty-six stratagems and flee.
Run as far as you can!
But the Nemesis before him is only at the level of Arishem. With the Ultimate Nullifier in hand, he might not be without a fighting chance!
Are you sure you have the ability?
Chen Ji's eyes gleamed as he sized up the Collector.
The Ultimate Nullifier.
The Watcher said that only by using it himself could he have a chance to defeat Nemesis.
The Collector?
Even Thanos with Infinity couldn't defeat him.
What future can we expect from him?
"Are you underestimating the power of an Elders of the Universe?"
"Then I'll show you."
"... I'm amazing!"
The Collector stepped forward and entered a mechanism. After pressing his handprint, a turning sound came from the door.
A strangely shaped, silver-gray object, resembling a lighter, was floating in mid-air. It was about the size of a palm and could be held in one hand!
It is completely different from the cosmic artifact that Chen Ji saw.
Even with his spiritual senses activated, Chen Ji couldn't detect anything special about the lighter.
It's as if it really is just a lighter!
Immediately, the Collector raised his hand and grasped it, his thumb touching the switch—a precaution against Chen Ji trying to seize the Ultimate Nullifier!
With the push of a switch, the Collector can erase anything he wants to erase!
I advise you not to do anything reckless.
"Even if you were a god, I would still erase you."
Taneleer Tivan warned.
Furthermore, he glanced at the Adam Warlock beside him and immediately noticed Adam Warlock's extraordinary abilities.
Prior to this, Agatha, the High Priestess of the Sovereign, had purchased an artificial cocoon from him, which was the Cradle of Gods!
Unable to use the Cradle of Gods, he simply sold it and received nearly a hundred energy batteries in return.
One energy cell is enough to provide energy to Knowhere for a century!
These are core technologies belonging to the Ogg Group.
Speaking of the Ogg Group, the Collector and the High Evolutionary have had dealings with it.
However, High Evolutionary never mentions the origin of the energy battery.
It now seems that the energy of the energy battery probably comes from Nemesis, the most important Ego Stone!
The Ego Stone can also be used to scientifically decipher the Ego Element!
Even the evolution device created by the Ogg Group utilized this Ego Element to instantly evolve to the level of millions of years in the future!
"That's right."
"He is the ultimate life born from the Cradle of Gods."
"His name is Adam Warlock."
Chen Ji's gaze flickered.
He also coveted the Cradle of Gods.
After all, if the Cradle of Gods could hatch Adam Warlock, it could certainly hatch other ultimate life forms!
This kind of God-Tier Technology shouldn't be under his control; it should be destroyed!
Who knows what monsters and demons will emerge from the Cradle of Gods after the High Evolutionary?
It is likely that the Regeneration Cradle is a rudimentary version of the Cradle of Gods; both lead to the same goal and are the crystallization of scientific wisdom.
"Adam Warlock..."
"Adam?"
The Collector looked puzzled.
Because he remembered a crucial piece of information!
It seems that the founder of the Cosmic Truth Church was also called Adam!
Could it be that these two Adam are the same person?
The Cosmic Truth Church.
It attempts to become the leader of the entire universe.
They are also extensively collecting genetic material and biological samples from various extraterrestrial civilizations.
He even visited the Knowhere and purchased the Celestial Brain Matter!
This is the life essence of the Celestials.
The substance most similar to Eitr Black Water!
Logically speaking, the Cosmic Truth Church should have needed the Cradle of Gods of Gods when purchasing the Celestial Brain Matter, but they didn't take the Cradle of Gods with them, which puzzled him.
"The Cosmic Truth Church?"
"Never heard of it!"
Adam Warlock frowned.
He didn't care about the Ultimate Nullifier at all.
Instead, he walked up to a shop window, smiled, and waved to a duck inside.
"Stay away from me."
"I'm no ordinary duck!"
This duck is dressed in a suit, looking quite presentable.
He doesn't belong to the current universe; he comes from a Duck World.
[Name]: Howard the Duck
[Identity]: Containment Object
[Entry]: Duck Detective (Blue), Gun-Fu (Purple), Fiery Temper (Gray).
[Duck Detective] (Blue): In the Duck World, he is a detective who accidentally fell into the current universe for unknown reasons.
[Gun-Fu] (Purple): He is skilled in using various firearms and weapons, and can be considered a master in the field of shooting.
[Hot-tempered] (Gray): He doesn't remember how long he was imprisoned, and the long period of confinement made him increasingly irritable.
"The Duck World..."
Are all heroes ducks?
"This world is quite interesting."
Chen Ji smiled wryly.
Is there an Avengers in the Duck World too?
Duck Captain America, Duck Iron Man, Duck Hulk, Duck Thor?
That would be really interesting to visit the Duck World!
"Tivan."
"Is this duck for sale?"
"I want to give it to my wife as a pet."
Chen Ji smiled.
Immediately, he slowly opened his palm and used his magic to create a purple gem.
This is the Power Stone!
Since the Collector wants the Power Stone from the Orb of the Cosmos.
Then give it to him.
I believe the Power Stone is valuable enough to acquire Howard the Duck.
"Power Stone?"
How could you have something like this?
"Nemesis's resurrection requires the Infinity Stones, doesn't it?"
The Collector's gaze sharpened.
I was immediately struck by an overwhelming sense of disbelief.
The mysterious mage before us is capable of creating the Infinity!
This is a skill that even the Elders of the Universe don't possess!
How can a mere talking duck compare to the Power Stone?
"Make a deal!"
"You'll regret this!"
The Collector took out a container, caught the Power Stone, and carefully enshrined it.
Immediately, he opened the shop window next to him and gave Howard the Duck his freedom.
"Kid!"
"I'm not some kind of pet!"
"I am Howard!"
"A detective in the Duck World!"
Howard the Duck was both surprised and angry.
He missed the Duck World terribly, but there was no way to go back.
"If you come with me, you can go back to the Duck World. Believe it or not."
Chen Ji was playing with flavor.
The "pet" excuse is just that—an excuse.
He will take Howard the Duck back to the Time Variance Authority, and then, through the Time Variance Authority, find this Duck World!
He had no intention of conquering the Duck World, but he could take Wanda and Dark Phoenix sightseeing.
"Real?!"
Howard the Duck looked pleasantly surprised.
Although he had his doubts, Chen Ji was willing to use the Power Stone to grant him his freedom, and he still had to take this kindness seriously!
Meanwhile.
A series of heavy footsteps sounded.
The museum doors were open.
Clad in golden armor, the burly and fierce Mad Titan, accompanied by Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight, arrived before the Collector.
"Thanos?"
What are you doing on my turf?
The Collector looked nervous.
He instinctively grabbed the lighter.
If Thanos dares to make a move, he will retaliate without hesitation and wipe him out completely!
In his eyes, the Mad Titan had no sense of martial ethics, were completely incapable of negotiation, and had no need to negotiate at all.
"The Ultimate Nullifier?"
"It seems I've arrived just in time."
"Tivan."
"If you don't want to die, give me the Ultimate Nullifier."
Thanos raised the Tyrant's Blade, and the Ego Stone on his Rune Glove emitted a burst of golden light.
"Seek death!"
The Collector scoffed.
Immediately, he forcefully pulled the lighter, producing a loud popping sound!
Suddenly!
The Ultimate Nullifier unleashed a violent torrent!
A direct hit to Thanos!
The scorching and terrifying energy storm instantly engulfed Thanos, evaporating all his flesh and blood tissue, leaving only a few remnants!
Seeing this scene.
Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight's eyes widened, their minds going completely blank!
"Dead?"
"Father!"
"The Ultimate Nullifier, it can actually erase... the great Mad Titan?!"
Corvus Glaive could not believe it.
But facts speak louder than words.
Given the power of the Ultimate Nullifier, he dared not make any rash moves.
Even an indestructible body can be destroyed, so how can I possibly contend with the Collector?
"See that?!"
"This is the power of the Ultimate Nullifier!"
The Collector looked on with pride.
They then walked past Thanos's remains and left the museum.
He intends to personally eliminate Nemesis using the Ultimate Nullifier!
However.
The Ultimate Nullifier only erased Thanos, but not the Ego Stone. Chen Ji's heart stirred.
He immediately released an invisible wave, scooped up the Rune Glove, and removed the Ego Stone, gently holding it in his hand!
This Ego Stone possesses a violent energy that surpasses the fragments of Infinity Stones by billions of times, and it also brings the Law of Self that he has comprehended to near completeness once again!
At this moment, he has obtained all seven Infinity Stones!
Time, space, Mind Stone, reality, power, soul...
Self!
Furthermore, he also possesses Thought Stone that was transformed from the body of a Titled Celestial after his death!
Even if the Ultimate Nullifier cannot erase Nemesis, he can withstand the pressure!
