Recruiting the Watchers! Ancient Thor Submits!
"Walter?"
"Eternity?"
What does this mean?
The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy members were all stunned.
But seeing Toranus, who was terrified like an infant, he immediately understood that Chen Ji had once again created a miracle!
Eternity!
Even though most people don't know much about it.
Just hearing this name, one can appreciate the profound value of 'Eternity'; it's definitely not an ordinary thing.
Because nothing lasts Eternity!
Upon seeing Chen Ji's new look, Tony and Steve Rogers' faces flashed with shock and elation.
At this moment, Chen Ji's demeanor was in no way inferior to that of Toranus, and perhaps even surpassed it. His figure, formed from the convergence of celestial stars, instantly attracted everyone's attention!
It's practically comparable to a majestic and dazzling god!
Chen Ji transformed into Eternity, his body half-illusory and half-real, shrouded in an immense aura. In his eyes, the Ancient Thor Toranus was nothing more than a larger insect, hardly a threat at all.
However, there was more than one Ancient Gods standing behind Toranus; Gaia, the Earth Mother, was also present!
What he feared was not the Ancient Thor, but Utgard!
Even if it becomes Eternity, destroying Utgard will not be an easy task.
"It seems... we still need to go to the Omnipotence City and destroy Utgard through Omnipotence City."
A glint flashed in Chen Ji's eyes.
The Omnipotence City.
It is both a space city, the abode of the Earth Gods, and a cosmic warship with unparalleled ferocity.
Simply activate the Omnipotence City, and Utgard will be destroyed!
As Eternity, he has seen through all of history, past and present. The strongest trump card of the Omnipotence City is a Dimensional Weapon!
Capable of directly annihilating dimensions!
If tools can be used, why consume magic power? This was Chen Ji's plan.
"Eternity... Your Excellency..."
"Are you sure you want to be enemies with Utgard?"
Toranus's tone changed.
He dares to be arrogant towards superheroes, but he doesn't dare to be arrogant towards Eternity.
This is a form of status suppression!
In this universe, Eternity is the absolute ruler, Chen Ji, who becomes Eternity, naturally inherits this power!
"To be an enemy?"
"Look what you've done to my world!"
"Not only you, but I don't intend to keep your friends here either."
"There's no room for negotiation on this matter."
Chen Ji shook his head.
Immediately, he struck out with his palm, like Celestials swinging his arm, almost shaking the entire universe, causing tremors everywhere.
He concentrated the energy of an entire universe in his hand as his attack, and struck directly at Toranus!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Nine Realms trembled, and the universe collapsed.
Huge waves are crashing over Vanaheim!
Countless buildings turned to dust in the blink of an eye.
This torrent of energy is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, reaching a level that defies the heavens and transcends the multiverse.
The Ancient Thor Toranus once again used the Adam Warlock as a shield, holding him in front of him. He did not believe that Chen Ji would dare to kill the Child of the Plane!
"It seems you've got something wrong."
"The Child of the Plane is actually the chosen one of Eternity. Now that I have become Eternity, why should I care about his life or death?"
A sly smile appeared on Chen Ji's face.
The attack did not stop at all.
A beam of energy, as brilliant as lightning, pierced through the Adam Warlock and struck directly at the Ancient Thor Toranus!
They actually punched a huge hole through Toranus's divine body!
Golden blood splattered, carrying vigorous life energy, and transformed the landscape of Vanaheim, filling it with a sacred aura!
This is the scene.
This not only shocked Toranus, but also silenced all the superheroes.
After fighting for so long, they hadn't even managed to scratch Toranus, but Chen Ji severely injured Toranus with a single move. Was this some kind of joke?
"List."
"What exactly does Eternity mean?"
"Is the embodiment of the universe called Eternity?"
Tony's expression froze.
A sense of awe for Chen Ji naturally arose within me.
The other superheroes were genuinely terrified, but fortunately, Chen Ji obtained this power before Thanos...
Otherwise, according to Chen Ji, Thanos might use this power to wipe out half of all life in the universe...
Fortunately, Chen Ji was an ally, not an enemy!
Otherwise, with Chen Ji's abilities, all Earth-996 would become food for the Ancient Gods.
"That's right."
"I am Eternity."
"Also... this universe cannot be called Earth-996, but must be called Earth-0. I have reshaped the Multiverse, and you will all become New Gods."
Chen Ji's lips curled up.
He revealed another truth.
Earth-0?
Reshaping the Multiverse?
This completely shattered everyone's expectations.
It is truly incomprehensible and unfathomable.
However.
A monk's figure appeared out of nowhere, his eyes glowing white, standing at the intersection of reality and the multiverse, explaining as if in narration.
"Perhaps no one expected that this Mystic Arts Master harbored such a grand ambition."
"He made Earth-996 completely independent from the Multiverse system, existing like an autonomous region, and it may even evolve into another Infinite Multiverse."
"The Ancient Gods are enraged, and the Cosmic Avatar remains silent. If his plan succeeds, perhaps everything will be overturned."
Watcher!
Uatu!
He has always been paying attention to this universe.
Because this universe is so special.
Furthermore, the person chosen by the universe is a unique being who has accomplished the impossible!
It turned One-and-Only Universe into Multiverse!
It will also Edict Mandate the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy to become members of the New Gods Faction!
Therefore, the Watchers needs to reconsider: to whom to bet, whether to cooperate with Chen Ji or to break ties with Chen Ji?
The Watchers, born from Antiphon, the God of Beginnings, are scattered across different universes and have sworn not to interfere with the workings of reality, observing the entire Multiverse with detached indifference.
But now the time has come to make a decision...
New Gods?
Or Ancient Gods?
Uatu was momentarily undecided.
After all, there is a statue of him in the Eternal Temple; he was originally a member of the Ancient Gods Faction.
If he betrays the Ancient Gods, Chen Ji will likely remain unharmed, while he will surely be beaten to death.
"Uatu."
"You've been watching me the whole time?"
I thought you had already left.
Chen Ji smiled.
He is now on the same plane as the Watcher.
He could even leave the Watcher in this universe forever, completely crippling Uatu's abilities!
However, Chen Ji understood deeply that offending Uatu was tantamount to offending the Watcher, and he needed outside help.
Looking across the entire Multiverse, only the Watcher can meet his expectations.
They possess power comparable to Celestials, yet they do not interfere with the real world.
He will then forge an alliance with the Watchers, allowing Watchers to exist in his universe as his allies and oversee the multiverse on his behalf!
"Yes."
"I've been watching you all along."
"You just didn't notice."
Congratulations on becoming Eternity.
"Lord Eternity"
Are you sure you want to create Multiverse?
"As you surely know, this will anger the gods."
The Watcher's expression was complex.
He witnessed firsthand the rise of Chen Ji, from the Battle of Sokovia to the Secret Invasion.
How much time has passed?
The other party has actually transformed into... Eternity in the current universe!
This was simply unbelievable to him.
This has already set an unprecedented record.
Even Loki, the first New Gods in the Multiverse, cannot compare to Chen Ji.
Because Loki cannot move, he only grasps the concept of time, not a universe.
'Universe'.
It encompasses countless concepts.
All concepts are based on the universe; without the universe, there would be no planets, no life, and nothing at all.
Therefore, from this perspective, Chen Ji's abilities already make him the strongest New Gods!
They firmly hold the top spot in the New Gods Faction.
He is a true leader of the New Gods Faction!
"I have long since angered the gods."
"What's the problem?"
"Uatu."
"Now that you've appeared before me, I happen to have something to ask you: are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"I am not only speaking to you, but also to the Watchers. I need the power of the Watchers."
"Don't the Watcher want to defeat the Celestials?"
Chen Ji curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
He had read about the conflict between the Watcher and the Celestials in the book.
Even the Watchers and the Celestials once fought a great war, only choosing to bide their time due to the intervention of the Living Tribunal.
However.
The Living Tribunal's extreme bias towards the Celestials has caused the Watchers to lose face, and this grudge must be avenged.
Perhaps, Antiphon, the God of Beginnings, also died at the hands of Arishem, the Supreme Celestial, which led to this war!
"This is a matter of great importance."
"I can't make decisions alone."
"List."
"You should deal with the Ancient Thor now."
He's not dead yet.
Uatu kindly reminds you.
He also wanted to witness the power Chen Ji possessed. If Chen Ji could defeat the Ancient Gods Utgard, then he would be qualified to overthrow the Cosmic Celestial Host.
It's not too late for the Watchers to make a decision at this point.
Chen Ji naturally saw through Uatu's plan.
But he showed no anger whatsoever.
He would have done the same.
Immediately, he turned his gaze back to the Ancient Thor Toranus.
Just a few breaths.
Toranus's wounds healed rapidly, leaving almost no visible injury. Only his weakened breathing proved the severity of the damage he had suffered!
Ancient Gods are just Ancient Gods.
Eternity is the only true path!
In short.
Ancient Gods were merely powerful families and clans throughout history; only Eternity is the sole sovereign and divinely ordained ruler.
Even the Ancient Gods tremble, filled with fear and despair before Eternity!
"Lord Eternity"
"Your perverse actions will surely anger Utgard!"
"The Ancient Gods of Utgard will not tolerate your actions!"
Toranus started talking trash.
This also means that he has no other choice; the only hostage, the Adam Warlock, has suffered a blow from Eternity!
There wasn't a single injury.
On the contrary, his divine power declined, and even though he recovered from his injuries, he was no longer the same as before.
Because the Ancient Gods Utgard never succeeded in Ragnarok, every bit of divine power wasted is a bit less!
At this moment, he was extremely weak, having fallen from the Ancient Gods to the realm of Omnipotent Skyfather.
He could even clearly feel a sense of suppression, like a pet facing the king of beasts; the fact that it didn't flee in defeat was proof of its courage!
"Toranus."
"You do have a chance. Stand on my side, give up everything you have now, and you will become New Gods."
Chen Ji appealed to his emotions and lured him with benefits.
The Ancient Thor Toranus naturally understood Utgard and knew all Utgard secrets. If one could gain Toranus's allegiance, then any unknown conspiracies could be prevented.
After all, the Ancient Gods, seated in their Shadow Hall, have also witnessed the War of the Realms!
Chen Ji looked at the group of Ancient Gods, and the Ancient Gods were also looking at him, but none of them made a move, seemingly also pondering the gains and losses.
Who would do something that loses money?
This is obvious.
Even the Ancient Gods are not without selfishness and desires!
"Foolish Toranus."
"They actually messed things up."
"If he wants to go back to Utgard, I'll be the first to eat him!"
The whispers of the Shadow God were inaudible to mortals, and even Toranus was completely unaware of them.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ji smiled slightly.
Isn't this like having a pillow when you're sleepy?
I was just worried about not having a reason to persuade Toranus!
"Toranus."
Do you know how your allies view you?
"I overheard their conversation; they planned to eat you first."
"If you go back to Utgard, you probably won't survive. Only by joining me can you live!"
Chen Ji extended an olive branch once again.
If Toranus still refuses, he will show no mercy and kill this Ancient Thor god directly.
He will bestow upon Thor the power of the Ancient Thor, making him the Ancient Thor of Earth-0, a New Gods!
New Gods will inevitably replace the Ancient Gods.
This was the decision he made.
No one can stop it.
Seeing this scene.
Toranus's expression changed repeatedly. He believed Chen Ji's words because the Ancient Gods of Utgard were truly capable of such a thing!
He had even devoured other Ancient Gods, but he never dreamed that he would become their meal!
"I surrender."
"Your Majesty the Great Eternity One"
"It would be my honor to pledge my loyalty to you."
The Ancient Thor, his face filled with sorrow, knelt on one knee and declared his submission to Chen.
But he did not consider himself to have submitted to Chen Ji.
Rather, it is surrender to the embodiment of Eternity!
He had both face and substance; now that he had both, there was no need to struggle. He wanted to live.
"Damn Toranus!"
"How dare you betray Utgard!"
Damn it!
"Even being torn to pieces wouldn't be enough to quell our anger!"
The Shadow God slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.
Before this, the Shadow God remained inactive; after this, all members of the Shadow God were breached.
Without Toranus, one cannot satisfy one's appetite, nor is one capable of challenging Eternity!
"Really."
"You're all just using me."
"Now it's my turn to use you."
"Lord Eternity"
"I know how to get into Utgard."
"I also know the secret of Utgard."
Toranus's eyes gleamed with smugness.
Seeing the Ancient Gods's reaction, he knew he had done the right thing!
