Immortus?
Upon hearing the name, Thor paused for a moment.
This name sounds familiar...
He tilted his head and thought for a long time before finally digging the name out of the corner of his memory.
It seems to be... an older version of Kang? Or some futuristic form?
He remembered that this guy seemed to have grown tired of conquering and had gone off to become some kind of guardian of time.
Why are you stirring up trouble again now?
However, while Thor was still processing the information, the Konvariant kneeling in front of him, whether from some unknown source or because he had been driven to a dead end, suddenly found the courage.
His raised hands appeared to be in surrender, but a device shimmering with an eerie light silently slid out from the wrists of his blue-purple armor.
An energy powerful enough to warp spacetime was rapidly condensing on the device.
Trying to ambush?
Thor felt a little amused.
He didn't even bother to use any laws of power; he simply raised his hands, and then—
"Snap."
A crisp clapping sound.
It's like an eraser, gently wiping away a small black dot drawn on paper.
The Kang variant kneeling on the ground, along with his high-tech armor and the weapon that was charging up, was simply... erased from this space.
There was no explosion, no energy dissipation, and not even the slightest sound.
He simply vanished, as if he had never existed.
Thor blew away non-existent dust from his palm before continuing to think about what he hadn't finished earlier.
The Immortus the Immortal... what's this guy doing again?
Oh, right, the future Kang should be the strongest of all Kang variants.
Most importantly, Thor remembered that this guy possessed an artifact called the " Eternity Crystal ".
That thing sounds ordinary; it's just a pretty Crystal.
But its effects are terrifyingly horrifying.
It can erase an entire timeline.
Now everything matches up.
Thor finally understood why the Universe 199999b was on the verge of collapse.
It's highly likely that Immortus was behind it all.
To be honest, this old guy's plan is pretty clever.
If it weren't for that paranoid Dark Strange pushing himself to the Multiverse Level, Immortus's plan might actually have succeeded.
Thor could already guess the other party's script.
First, send that bunch of deformed, Cancerverse as cannon fodder to hold themselves back.
Then, while he sent Kara, Classic Loki, and the others in, Immortus sealed off the entire universe from the outside, activated the Eternity Crystal, and completely "erased" Universe 199999b, along with everyone inside, from the timeline.
Even if this move doesn't kill Dark Strange and Kara, it will definitely severely injure them, and might even take down Classic Loki and Wanda as well.
As for the motive...
Thor curled his lip.
What else could it be?
I'm not willing to accept it.
What kind of bullshit Time-Keepers? It's nowhere near as satisfying as sitting on that golden toilet and being the master of time!
Ultimately, it was all aimed at his unfortunate brother Loki.
Thor couldn't help but silently mourn for Loki for a second.
This guy is really unlucky. He finally found true love, but now he has to shoulder the burden of saving the multiverse.
After the rescue was completed, he thought he could finally enjoy a peaceful life with his wife, children, and a warm bed, but then someone set their sights on the throne.
What a complete slacker.
Thor shook his head, no longer thinking about Loki's tragic life.
He's now very interested in something else.
Eternity Crystal.
A magical tool that can erase timelines.
In some ways, this thing is way more awesome than collecting Six Infinity Stones.
To get the Infinity Stones, you have to snap your the Snap; otherwise, it's just a complete format.
Thor was making plans in his mind.
With Dark Strange, Kara, and Classic Loki around Wanda, there shouldn't be any major safety issues.
Dark Strange is now at the Multiverse Level, and the little girl Kara is no pushover either. Although the Classic Loki is not strong in direct combat, when it comes to scheming and trickery, even ten Kang might not be his match.
At worst, I can have Emma Frost send a few more strong warriors from Frost City to provide support.
Right now, the most important thing is to get our hands on the " Eternity Crystal " that Immortus has.
However... the people standing behind Immortus seem to be those guys who call themselves " Time-Keepers ".
Although those guys looked more like mascots in Loki's solo series, Thor didn't believe they were really that weak.
Those who can manipulate timelines are not to be trifled with.
After thinking about it, I think it's better to play it safe.
Going in alone might look cool, but if you mess things up, it won't be fun at all.
We need to get some reinforcements.
With this thought in mind, Thor moved the space in front of him, and the space rippled like water, slowly forming a golden portal.
On the other side of the door lies a white city brimming with futuristic technology and luxurious atmosphere.
Frost City.
Thor stepped in, and his figure appeared in the open-air garden of Asgard.
A heartwarming scene is unfolding on the lawn of the garden.
Rachel Summers, the little one, was wearing a fiery red dress, squatting on the ground, carefully teasing a palm-sized phoenix with a small twig, its body ablaze with soft flames.
Beside her stood two identical Phoenix, but with completely different auras.
One of them, with a gentle expression and maternal glow in her eyes, was gazing tenderly at her daughter.
It was Jean Grey from the universe where Mutants were nearly wiped out.
The other one, with a hint of melancholy and vigilance between his brows, was also looking at Rachel, but his body remained in a posture ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
That's Phoenix, the Red Label Phoenix, from another post-apocalyptic universe.
"Uncle Thor!"
Rachel was the first to spot him.
The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw Thor. He dropped the branch, ran over on his short legs, and hugged Thor's leg tightly.
"You stood me up again! You promised to play with me, didn't you? You're even lying to a five-year-old!" Rachel said, tilting her little face up and scolding her in a grown-up tone.
Thor was amused by her and reached out to pat her little head.
"I promise next time, Rachel."
His gaze passed over Rachel and landed on Jean Grey in the Red Label Zombie Universe.
Thor didn't have time for pleasantries and went straight to the point.
He looked at Jean Grey, his expression unusually serious.
"Qin, I need your help."
