Chapter 199. Thanos has been possessed.
Thanos knew that the being in front of him, Ultraman, must have done something to him. He could feel a weariness from the depths of his heart, or more accurately, a sense of relief, as if everything was meaningless, and he was filled with a desire to share.
The silent influence on the mind is indeed terrifying, but what is incredible to him is that Ultraman is not lying about death, but can actually do it, because Thanos has already felt the weakening of his power over death.
But how is that possible? Could a life form born by chance really influence the power of the universe so easily?
"Tell me about your reincarnation," Ji Yuan asked.
Thanos swallowed hard. "What do you want to know? I've reincarnated countless times; my memories are as vast as the starry sea."
"You're such a powerful cosmic overlord, why are you being so formal? Tell me specifically who killed you, and some strange phenomena, or some of your speculations, anything is fine," Ji Yuan said, pursing his lips.
"Who made me die?" Thanos was lost in memories for a moment.
After a brief silence, he looked at the Arithm that Ji Yuan was fiddling with, "Arithm is the one who caused me to die the most, and then there's the one inside this greatsword of mine."
After saying that, he took out a black greatsword from the dimensional space, and a deathly stillness immediately emanated from it.
"Oh?" Ji Yuan curiously took the giant sword. As expected, just from the aura emanating from this giant sword, one could tell that it was closely related to death, and there were indeed two beings from outside the universe within it.
Ji Yuan waved his hand lightly, and a silver-white line immediately appeared on the black greatsword, as if it were about to slice the entire greatsword in half.
Thanos, watching from the opposite side, was terrified, and Ultraman's perceived threat level rose several orders of magnitude once again.
This giant sword is a condensation of a portion of the rules of death. Ji Yuan's actions are tantamount to deconstructing the universe!
Ji Yuan quickly located the two infinitely distorted black shadows contained within the giant sword. Just as he retrieved them, Thanos frantically shouted, "Watch out! They're going to self-destruct!"
As soon as the words were spoken, an obscure aura enveloped the concept of life. Two dark shadows, twisted and completely solidified, took on a beautiful and pure appearance, but within this beauty lay a destructive force capable of annihilating everything.
Thanos's face showed deep fear. The self-destruction of the Cleaners was the most painful way to die. It would crush your mind, destroy your body, and ravage your soul. It was the cruelest torture in the world.
Arithm watched all this with amusement. The Cleaner's self-destruction was aimed at the concept of the multiverse, but he was not a being within the multiverse, so the Cleaner could not harm him.
But Ultraman is different; he'll definitely die from self-destruction!
Ji Yuan simply watched the two balls of destructive power calmly. In the blink of an eye, the two balls of destructive power had already accumulated all their power and were about to explode at the next thought.
With just a gentle grasp, two masses of power, enough to destroy the universe, were annihilated without a trace, as if a performance had been staged, a comedy film called The Joker.
The world suddenly went silent.
Thanos stared at Ji Yuan in disbelief, as if he were a god. How could a life-or-death crisis be resolved so casually?
Arithm frantically tried to analyze the power Ji Yuan had just used in his mind, but the result was the same as before: he couldn't analyze it.
It's inevitable that it can't be analyzed. How can the power of the mind possibly analyze it concretely? As the saying goes, "I think, therefore I am." I figured I could extinguish the power of these two bastards with a single blow, so naturally, they were annihilated.
This tactic might not be so easy to use against sentient beings, but it's incredibly effective against these two self-destructing objects that lost their will before exploding.
Ji Yuan casually tossed the greatsword aside and smiled indifferently: "Looks like they're not very friendly to me. They're so enthusiastic right from the start. Thanos, you go ahead."
Thanos gave an awkward smile. "You should ask, though."
He suddenly felt that this Ultraman, who was covered in holy light, seemed unusually irritable.
"Should I ask?" Ji Yuan's eyes darted around, and he blurted out, "Then tell me how you became a lapdog for the Goddess of Death."
"I—" Thanos fell silent. This was undoubtedly an insult to the dignity of a cosmic overlord, but to gain something, one must undoubtedly pay a price.
He spoke slowly, and an aura of the Blood Sea of Mount Toku came towards him.
"I gave her everything."
"I have shattered stars and torn apart galaxies; I once held infinity in my hands and destroyed the universe in an instant."
"The passing of life is the most beautiful sound in the universe, and I have dedicated countless beautiful melodies to her."
"Death is her power. She has given me the ability to walk with death. The passing of each life is an advancement of the power of death. In each cycle of reincarnation, I can grasp the power born from death."
"Everything I did was for her, to make her happy, to make her stronger, and to free her from this eternal prison."
"I----"
"Explain in detail what the cage is." Ji Yuan interrupted Thanos's self-indulgent musings. Just as Venom said, Thanos was indeed a bit of a sycophant. And this wasn't an act. Under the influence of his mind, every word Thanos spoke came from the bottom of his heart.
"Ahem." Thanos coughed awkwardly, realizing he had lost his composure. He explained, "The Eternal Cage is a cage built eternally. This cage will prevent the full manifestation of the power of death, and at the same time, it will prevent death from entering the material plane of the universe."
"So that's why you're so insanely slaughtering lives?"
"Yes, but after slaughtering thousands of universes, I realized that this couldn't release my lover; I needed other powers."
"That is, the Infinity Stones."
"That's right, the six Infinity Stones combined will tear open this cage and steal a portion of Eternity's power. Eternity has already banished its own consciousness, and whoever gains power can use it to corrupt the multiverse until they control it," Thanos said loudly, his face flushed with excitement.
Ji Yuan looked puzzled. Thanos was not in a good state. The power of his mind made him tell the truth, but it did not affect his personality. The current Thanos was not like a king, but more like a self-indulgent clown.
If a king becomes a sycophant, he will surely be the king of sycophants. The current Thanos—how should I put it—is like he's been possessed.
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "The Goddess of Death?"
Upon hearing these four words, Thanos's eyes suddenly changed, becoming arrogant and devoid of any remaining lifelike spirit.
A female voice came from his mouth: "Ultraman, I didn't expect you could find me like this."
