It was his divine weapon, the Thunderbolt, a divine artifact made of lightning, possessing the destructive power of all lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Thor quickly stepped in front of Loki, blocking Zeus's view, and smiled awkwardly. \"Calm down, everyone calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor was sweating profusely. He didn't understand why Loki would be so \"foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And where did you come from, little god? Hmph, I invited the king of asgard, you are not on the invitation list. Now, get out immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guards! Guards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus was furious. If it weren't for other important matters, he would have loved to strike Loki dead on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron gave Loki a look that said \"well done\" and waved his hand, knocking all the golden-armored guards away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki pushed Thor aside and quickly followed beside Aaron, a defiant smile on his lips. He didn't put Zeus in his eyes at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus was enraged. \"King of asgard, what exactly do you want to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Hercules not tell you that you are here to explain the crimes you have committed to the gods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of you, the Dimensional Rulers are about to invade reality in full force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of you, this universe will be plunged into misery, and countless beings will be devoured by demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now, you even condone your subordinate's outrageous remarks in this sacred place, insulting the great king of the gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you do not give us a reasonable explanation today, I will, in the name of the gods of Omnipotence City, banish you forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Zeus's questioning, Aaron returned a smile. \"Am I not giving you a chance to act out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this the excuse you've been dreaming of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zeus, put away your ridiculous posture. I am right here. Do you dare to come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How powerful was Aaron's psychic ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't let Zeus's apparent anger fool you. In reality, beneath that angry exterior was a different situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed angry, but he had found an opportunity to vent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They feared the names of Dimensional Rulers like Cyttorak, they feared death a thousand times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron's words made the gods, led by Zeus, lose dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they did indeed think that way, saying it directly made it quite awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus could feel the gazes of the gods upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes seemed to be asking: What should we do next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus's face cycled between pale and flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his rage, he forced a smile. \"King of asgard, I believe there has been some misunderstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most powerful Gods in the Universe are gathered here. We invited you to discuss how to face the Dimensional Ruler crisis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have definite information indicating that powerful Dimensional Rulers, including Cyttorak, Shuma-Gorath, and Chthon, have already established a Dimensional Ruler Alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once they enter our Universe, we will be facing countless powerful Dimensional Rulers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you don't consider us, you must consider the Nine Realms and the fate of Asgard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus tightly clenched the lightning in his hand, suppressing his fury to keep from striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the great king of the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor finally understood the underlying meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the Gods in surprise. \"Everyone, you are the greatest Gods in reality throughout history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With all of us gathered here, are you actually afraid to wage war against those Dimensional Rulers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as we unite, we can form an invincible army and thoroughly beat up those reckless Dimensional Rulers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what now? Are you preparing to surrender without a fight? Have you forgotten your legends and Divine Might?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Thor's astonished gaze, most of the Gods present lowered their heads, avoiding Thor's eyes. Other Gods glanced away or closed their eyes, seemingly deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few showed expressions of shame, yet they still did not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that they were Gods but that was Cyttorak, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hearing that name caused them to lose all fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor finally looked at Zeus, his idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus coughed, controlled the floating platform to descend, and walked toward Aaron and Thor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, I know you are very brave, and I know your strength must be considerable, as this is the first time I've seen the Dimensional Rulers act so frantically.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the situation now is that you simply don't know what you are facing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus looked at Aaron. \"As I just said, your presence in this Universe will only invite disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Gods will panic, and the lives and deaths of countless beings will be threatened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can actually discuss this properly, King of Asgard, what exactly will it take for you to leave this world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor opened his mouth, about to speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus immediately raised his hand to stop him. \"Big fellow, don't talk back to me. Everything I do is for everyone's benefit, including yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are young, a God with boundless prospects. You are full of vigor and bravery, but I imagine your academic performance must be terrible, causing your father great embarrassment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus then pointed at Loki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Loki's expression was complicated and solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your academic performance must be excellent, you are very clever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must clearly understand what those names I just mentioned truly mean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are the most terrifying existences in the world. Any one of them, taken alone, is a terrifying entity capable of destroying countless Reality Universes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget about your Asgard. Even if all the Gods of Omnipotence City gathered together, we wouldn't be enough for just one of them to trample.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I admit, I am afraid. All the Gods present here are afraid. But shouldn't that be the case?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like the Mortals we shelter, it's normal for them to fear the great power of the Gods, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus spoke these words with an air of self-justification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed no shame for his cowardice and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King of Asgard, they are all fine young men. As a King, are you willing to see your subjects pay the price of death for your choices?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thor retorted, \"We do not fear death! Rather than living on our knees, I would rather die standing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our soul will eventually return to Valhalla, this is the destiny of a warrior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you must have misunderstood something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus shook his head repeatedly. \"Valhalla? You won't have that chance. Do you know Shuma-Gorath? He feeds on screaming souls and drinks the curdled milk of dead stars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Facing them, even if you die, you won't have the chance for your souls to return to Valhalla. You will be swallowed whole by them and dissolved into boundless darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, he only needs to extend a single tentacle to make this place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeus made an explosion gesture. \"...explode with a bang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>40 Advanced Chapters on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002Falex_1000\u003C\u002Fp>",1161,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.139Z",1,"novelbin.me","2fb0bdab45dee081138572abcbfe2215415066ad361a6c885d5d0d03d0bbada5","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-149","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-148",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
