Chapter 347: Resurrect, My Beloved
One of the infinite time-spaces, Marvel Universe, Titan.
In the pitch-black palace, on the throne of the Titan King, Thanos held Stormbreaker in one hand and a Devil Fruit in the other.
Inside the hall, the Black Order—Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, Ebony Maw, Supergiant, and Black Dwarf—stood in order.
On the other side were Thanos's two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula.
At this moment, they looked at Thanos with confusion and reverence.
"A Devil Fruit, an interesting thing. I wonder how much power it can add to me."
After speaking, Thanos swallowed the Devil Fruit in one gulp.
Hiss!
The moment he swallowed it, Thanos's complexion became as ugly as if he were constipated.
He subconsciously wanted to spit out the Devil Fruit; the taste was truly too disgusting, making his scalp tingle and his viscera churn.
He had never eaten such foul-tasting food!
Fortunately, that feeling only lasted for an instant.
As the Dafo State Preceptor Devil Fruit was digested, streams of information regarding the fruit merged into his spirit; these were the inheritance and usage methods of the Dafo State Preceptor.
Golden light radiated from his skin, and the power of the Devil Fruit merged into every single cell.
From his flesh to his soul, Thanos underwent a transformation as if enlightened; his flesh grew stronger, his spirit and thoughts became clear, and deep within his mind, much knowledge regarding philosophy appeared.
This is the special ability of the Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit: besides strengthening the flesh, it develops wisdom.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Thanos's kingly aptitude resonated with the Daibutsu; he pressed his palms together, golden light bloomed behind him, and a Daibutsu appeared out of thin air, its form rapidly towering upward.
This Daibutsu resembled Thanos, was entirely golden, and stood about a hundred zhang tall; once it appeared, a powerful aura swept across Titan, and storms raged in all directions within the Titan palace.
The Black Order bowed one after another, their faces showing reverence, as if looking at the only god in this universe.
"Is this the power of a Devil Fruit!" Thanos could not help but say.
The power of a Devil Fruit can be great or small, as small as a chicken rib or as great as world-destroying.
It mainly depends on who is using it, and since Thanos obtained the power of the Daibutsu, the effect was definitely one plus one greater than two.
Moreover, Thanos's own physical constitution was already at the top tier in the universe, possessing Superman-like endurance and immense strength, which pushed the power of the fruit to the extreme.
"What kind of power is this?"
Gamora's face was full of shock; she had not expected Thanos to hide such an ability, and wondered if it was related to the strange fruit he had just eaten.
Although she was Thanos's daughter, she was not his biological child but an adopted one, and she harbored a deep blood feud.
Gamora had always wanted to assassinate Thanos to avenge her parents and her people.
Unfortunately, Thanos was too powerful, and her strength was simply no match for him.
Thanos stood up, looked up at the small stars around Titan, and then raised his right hand; the Daibutsu behind him also raised its right hand and slammed it toward the starry sky, and a golden, violent shockwave surged out across the void.
Boom!
The shockwave turned into a golden laser that pierced through the starry sky and slammed into a small planet.
Bang!
In an instant, the planet was torn to pieces, turning into countless fragments floating in the universe.
"This... how is this possible..."
Gamora was speechless; with such power, how could she compare?
"Congratulations to Father for obtaining divine power." Nebula immediately knelt on one knee and offered her congratulations.
Also an adopted daughter of Thanos, Nebula and Gamora were at opposite extremes.
Nebula desperately longed for Thanos's attention and affection, but unfortunately, compared to the more excellent sister Gamora, she had always been treated cruelly by Thanos, and most of her body had been transformed into machinery.
Even so, Nebula remained loyal to Thanos.
"Congratulations to my Lord for obtaining new power; with this power, you can completely dominate the universe," Ebony Maw praised.
"Congratulations, my Lord," Proxima Midnight and Black Dwarf said together.
"Hmm."
Thanos nodded with satisfaction.
Although Thanos had just obtained this Daibutsu power, in terms of power level, it was definitely dozens of times greater than the Admiral of the sea, Sengoku.
Thanos's Superman-like constitution was destined to be able to exert the peak power of the Daibutsu to the limit.
Thanos looked at Nebula and Gamora.
Having read the Script, he naturally knew now that both daughters had betrayed him; according to his personality, it would be impossible to keep them, and he should cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to nip all threats in the cradle.
But having been pua-ed by the group members and Xuanzang, plus the final outcome was indeed a failure.
With Thanos's personality, he would absolutely never think he was wrong; the world was wrong, the Avengers were wrong.
But that didn't stop him from changing his way of looking at the problem!
"Nebula, perhaps I was too strict with you before."
Thanos stretched out his massive palm and stroked Nebula's mechanical head.
This made Nebula feel flattered!
Having lived this long, it was the first time she had felt Thanos's care.
"?" Gamora.
Why did she feel like Thanos had become strange?
"Father, to serve you, even if I have to give my life, it is my honor," Nebula said excitedly.
"I have seen your efforts. When I collect all the Infinity Stones in the future, I will reshape your body and let you be like a normal girl," Thanos said.
"?" Ebony Maw.
Why has my Lord suddenly become so gentle?
Nebula was moved to tears, weeping bitterly; in her heart, her foster father still cared for her as his daughter.
"Gamora, do you still harbor resentment toward me in your heart?" Thanos asked again.
"I dare not, foster father," Gamora said hurriedly.
"After all, it was I who wiped out your entire race, but that was for the future of Titan. Child, if I obtain the Infinity Stones in the future, I will resurrect your people and your true parents," Thanos said.
This was no joke, nor was it a tall tale.
The power of the Infinity Gauntlet combined with the six Infinity Stones was enough to overturn the universe, break the laws of the universe, and turn the impossible into the possible.
"..."
For a moment, Gamora did not know what to say.
Of course she did not believe Thanos, feeling this was merely a tactic for Thanos to win people's hearts.
The essence of Thanos was that of a brutal tyrant, a demon who killed without blinking, and he could not possibly do good deeds.
She was not Nebula; she was not so easily fooled.
Thanos said nothing more and returned to his throne to prepare to contemplate his next step.
Snow Sword Stride Plane, Wudi City.
Nowadays, Li Chungang and Wang Xianzhi guard Wudi City together, blocking Immortals from the heavens from descending to the mortal realm to fish for the Qi Luck of Renjian.
The two are also old rivals, sparring from time to time.
Of course, although Wang Xianzhi is gifted with extraordinary talent, he cannot withstand Li Chungang's cheating, Immortal Cultivation, and the gap in strength is gradually widening.
On this day, Li Chungang dragged Wang Xianzhi to the seaside of Wudi City; the sun was setting, and the scenery was infinitely beautiful.
"Li Chungang, I am currently in seclusion; why did you drag me out?" Wang Xianzhi said.
The smile at the corner of Li Chungang's mouth could no longer be hidden, and he said:
"Old Wang, I invite you to witness an incredible event; this is destined to be unprecedented, unseen throughout the ages."
As he finished speaking, Li Chungang took out the Resurrection Crystal, his entire body unable to stop trembling.
Resurrect quickly, my love.
