Chapter 2032 The "Heaven" of the Entire Marvel Multiverse, the Reward Given by the "Gods"
This isn't really an answer; it's more like an explanation.
But for beings like eternity, infinity, and death, this is enough.
They themselves represent the most fundamental rules of the Marvel Universe and have the deepest understanding of how the "rules" work.
The concept of "rule-level items" has cleared up many of their confusions.
Why did Bai Xuan appear "suddenly"? Why are Tony from this world, Loki from another parallel world, and even Thanos so special?
Why were they able to block their senses before?
Many questions have been reasonably answered under this concept.
Upon receiving this information, the conceptual realm that transcends the multiverse seemed to ripple with a sense of "understanding," "satisfaction," and "gain," which could only be perceived by beings at the same level.
Eternity, its body composed of endless time, seemed to ripple slightly for a moment; Infinity, its existence encompassing all dimensions, seemed to stretch out a little; and Death, the aura of termination, also stirred with a ripple that was almost "interested".
They were "completely satisfied".
It did not provide all the answers, but rather confirmed that the "external" does indeed exist, and that there are "objects" that can penetrate at the level of "rules," and even transcend the rule system of the multiverse.
This in itself is an extremely valuable piece of information.
Not to mention, Bai Xuan also told them specific information about [rule-level items], such as the system, the main god space, and the nightmare space.
It further states that Marvel's multiverse is definitely not lacking in life forms carrying systems.
It was only because of the system's unique nature that they were unaware of it.
However, although it is still impossible to instantly lock onto each system host in countless parallel universes and infinite beings like reading ordinary life information, "knowing what to look for" and "not knowing its existence at all" are two completely different states.
The former is like "finding a needle in a haystack," while the latter is like "turning a blind eye."
Now, beings such as eternity, infinity, and death have learned the general shape of the "needle".
With their near-infinite power, near-omniscient access to the underlying information of the Marvel multiverse, and near-eternal time, they have a way to patiently search for and sift through the endless river of time and the branches of possibilities to find those potentially existing "rule-level items".
In any case, the one thing they have in abundance is time.
Having obtained the answers they sought—the supreme concepts of the Marvel Universe such as eternity, infinity, and death—they were completely satisfied. The "gaze" and "attention" that transcended the concept of the multiverse slowly dissipated like the receding tide, returning to the vast universe once more.
As these conceptual "observations" actively withdrew, the "divine favor" and the "mark" from a higher being that originally surrounded Thanos seemed to lose their source and began to fade rapidly.
Thanos shuddered, feeling a kind of "force" that had been vaguely enveloping him and seemed to be indistinctly connected to the whole world being rapidly stripped away.
The feeling of being "subtly favored" by the world disappeared, and the mysterious state of being "destined" to be invincible and always able to turn danger into safety in desperate situations completely left him.
He now feels more "real" than ever before, yet also more "ordinary" and "vulnerable" than ever before.
He transformed back into a powerful Titan, but that was all.
The universe no longer showed him any "extra" "favor" or "protection"; he was simply a more powerful life form, nothing more.
Bai Xuan's "gaze" also completely withdrew from that multiverse level and returned to the reality before him, then he spoke to Tony beside him:
"It is the work of the eternal Them."
"Because of your fusion with the Loki world last time."
No further explanation is needed; with Tony Stark's intelligence, he understood the whole story the moment he heard those words.
Tony's lips twitched slightly.
He never imagined that the reason for the changes in Thor's world was that his merging with Loki's world had attracted the attention of "gods" such as Eternity and Infinity.
Perhaps Thanos is also a factor.
Furthermore, because chat groups and systems are essentially "rule-level items" at the level of the heavens, their status is no weaker than or even higher than theirs, which means that although they sensed the "disturbance," they could not directly perceive the full picture and root cause of the "disturbance."
This state of "knowing the anomaly but not being able to see the details" undoubtedly further aroused the almost instinctive "curiosity" of these supreme beings who are almost omniscient but limited by the framework of their own universe.
Thus began an "experiment" spanning countless parallel universes, with Thor's world likely being just one of them.
Tsk, I don't know how to put it. It's like two elementary school kids fighting and accidentally knocking over a beaker in the lab, which attracted the attention of a Nobel laureate who then used them as the subject of a social behavior observation experiment.
Destiny? It truly is "destiny".
For Infinity, Eternity, and others, aren't they the "sky" of the Marvel universe?
And it's not just a single world, it's the entire Marvel multiverse.
Their slightest "interest," a single "observation," or a casual "mark" can be a "destiny" that can change the fate of a life in a single universe.
He shook his head, then looked at Thanos and gently rubbed his index finger and thumb together.
"Snapped."
A crisp snap of the fingers.
In an instant, the space in front of Thanos was like glass slashed by a sharp blade, and a pitch-black slash appeared.
Thanos didn't even have time to react before his powerful Titan body was effortlessly cleaved in two.
This is not over yet.
"Chi chi chi!"
It was as if countless slashes, condensed from space, were unleashed simultaneously from countless angles.
Thanos's body, which had just been split in two, was cut into countless pieces in less than a hundredth of a second.
All the "fragments" were devoured by the violent spatial forces the moment they were created.
The whole process happened very quickly; from Tony snapping his fingers to Thanos being cut into pieces, not even a second had passed.
One moment Thanos was standing there, just recovering from the shock of being stripped of "Destiny"; the next moment, the place where he stood was empty, without even a drop of blood left.
The Avengers froze on the spot, their expressions frozen in shock, bewilderment, and a hint of slowed reaction.
What just happened? Why did Tony suddenly attack?
Thor also stared at Tony with his mouth slightly agape, somewhat bewildered.
No, shouldn't Thanos be the one to kill Thanos?
Tony, however, didn't seem to care much about it.
He has no obsession or sentimentality towards Thanos in this universe.
In Tony's view, this was just a paranoid person with different values.
What about cosmic family planning, reducing the burden on the universe, and delaying resource depletion? Haha, those outdated and cruel theories have absolutely nothing to do with Tony Stark.
Is the universe running out of resources? Then develop new energy sources, search for new universes, develop more efficient recycling technologies, and even drive a technological explosion to make resources sufficient.
Treating lives as numbers that can be erased at will, and using the most brutal methods to implement so-called "balance," does not solve the problem at all, but creates a greater tragedy.
What did he take life for? Was it just data that could be deleted at will?
If Thanos were a member of the chat group, then out of respect for the members themselves and the autonomy of their respective worlds, Tony would do nothing, following the unspoken rule of "not interfering with other world members."
After all, every world has its own hardships and choices, and outsiders shouldn't interfere.
But Thanos is not a member of the group; he is a threat to this universe, the culprit who caused half of all life to disappear, and the "trouble" that Tony promised Thor to help solve.
Since it's a problem, it needs to be solved; and since it needs to be solved, the sooner and the better, the cleaner and more efficient the better.
Are we going to have to fight for another three hundred rounds, and then deliver the final blow to tragic music?
Please, that's all outdated stuff.
The moment Tony confirmed that the protection of "Destiny" had disappeared and Thanos had returned to normal, he acted without hesitation.
As for Thor's little regret? What kind of regret is that?
These are nothing more than the lives that died in Asgard and on Earth under Thanos' snap, but once Bai Xuan takes action, these lives will return.
There's no need to deliberately give away kills.
"From now on, I'll leave the task of reviving that half of life to you."
He looked at Bai Xuan beside him.
All eyes instantly shifted from Tony to Bai Xuan.
Anticipation, tension, and hope flickered in the eyes of every Avenger.
Bai Xuan slightly raised his eyes, his gaze calmly "looking" into the void.
That gaze seemed to pierce through the planet's atmosphere, through the sea of stars, through the barriers of the universe, and into the universe itself.
Then, an indescribable golden light instantly spread out!
This light appeared in every corner of the universe, like the warmest sunshine in spring, silently permeating everything.
Earth, the ruins of New York, where those who turned to ashes in the "annihilation" once stood, golden specks of light, like fireflies drifting in reverse, slowly converge, outlining familiar yet strange silhouettes.
On the battlefield of Wakanda, the warriors and allies who had perished in the final battle reformed in a soft golden light, their faces still bearing the shock of the last moments of the fight.
On Titan, Star-Lord, Mantis, Groot, and Spider-Man Peter Parker's figures materialize in a golden light.
This is true in every corner of the universe, including Xandar, the Kree Empire, the Void, and Sakaar.
Regardless of civilization level or racial differences, all half of life that was randomly turned to ashes after that snap of the fingers now regained their form and the sense of existence in that gentle and vast golden light.
The universe seemed to have taken a gentle breath, and half of the colors and vitality that had been forcibly erased were refilled with each breath.
Half of life, which vanished under the power of the Infinity Stones, is now beginning to return under a power that transcends the concept of gems.
The Avengers looked up at the sky; although they couldn't witness the miracles happening across the universe, they could feel them.
At the same time, in front of Bai Xuan, a dazzling light shone from within the soft golden glow.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third... and sixth points of light, imbued with great power, appeared out of thin air, materializing and silently hovering in front of Bai Xuan.
Those are six gems, six Infinity Stones!
Mind Stone, Soul Stone, Space Stone, Reality Stone, Time Stone, Power Stone.
As we all know, after Thanos of this universe completed his "destiny," he had already used the power of the Infinity Stones to destroy the Infinity Stones themselves to prevent them from being misused again.
So, these six gems
"This is?"
Tony looked at Bai Xuan with some doubt, and a guess formed in his mind.
"remuneration."
Bai Xuan spoke calmly, then stretched out his hand. The six gems seemed to have a spirit, slowly floating down onto his outstretched palm, quietly rotating, shimmering with light, yet exceptionally docile.
Just as he said, this is a reward, a reward for informing us of information about [rule-level items].
However, the Infinity Stones alone are not quite adequate as a "reward" for Eternity and others; perhaps the Infinity Stones are powerful and precious to life in the universe, but to Eternity and others at their level, the Infinity Stones are just gems.
At least that's true for the Infinity Stones in this universe.
These six, although also Infinity Stones, are closer in strength and essence to the original and most powerful Infinity Stones in the main Marvel Universe.
It contains more complete "rules" and has greater power.
Even for Bai Xuan, its value is quite high, and it will be of great help to his world, which has just been promoted to the prototype of a multiverse.
The six fundamental laws of time, space, reality, power, mind, and soul can be fully integrated into his world and stabilize it.
Bai Xuan's words caused the Avengers to gasp in shock.
Although they didn't quite understand the specific reasons, these six Infinity Stones seemed to be a reward given to Bai Xuan by an entity they couldn't comprehend.
In other words, were the Infinity Stones that Thanos painstakingly collected, even at the cost of waging war, merely a "reward" in the eyes of a higher being?
This stark contrast made everyone realize once again the insurmountable gap between them and Bai Xuan, and between them and the level that Bai Xuan represented.
"Bai Xuan is truly powerful."
"I don't know when I will be able to reach the level you have reached."
Thor exclaimed.
Even now, having joined the chat group, he still finds it difficult to comprehend the true extent of Bai Xuan's achievements.
The concept of a multiverse is easy to understand from its name, but how does it translate into concrete power?
How can he find out what this force is?
Only by achieving it yourself can you achieve it.
