Chapter 1605

~12 min read 2,365 words

Realm of Death, in front of the Goddess of Death's palace, the Steel Demon God and Sorcerer Supreme stood on both sides of the gate like two door gods. Death looked at these two unlucky things at the door and got angrier the more she looked, but what made her even angrier was Shiler's words just now.

She wasn't angry because of Shiler's sarcasm and yin-yang tone. After all, which of the five gods hadn't been mocked by Shiler? Death had been tricked by him the most times. This time Shiler just called to mock her twice. In normal times, Death would almost feel that Shiler had turned over a new leaf.

What really made her angry was the content in Shiler's words. Shiler planned to hold a religion for Oblivion on Earth?!

Of course, this might not be Oblivion's intention, but entirely Shiler's conspiracy. But this made Death realize one thing—even if this is Shiler's conspiracy and Oblivion is just hanging a name, he can hang a name, but she cannot.

It was said before that Death was spreading religion in the material universe, although not in the nature of a collective religion, but mostly seducing some important figures to help them create death. Thanos was one of them. She also made deals with Heavenly Fathers like Odin, giving them Valhalla so they could be more confident and bold in launching wars. These small means lasted for thousands of years.

But later, this universe became independent, and Eternity began to strictly investigate. Death belonged to one of those objects that were strictly cracked down on. Not only was the independent Valhalla not allowed to appear again, but she could not appear as the Goddess of Death to seduce important figures to kill for her.

Even more, even some religions that weren't actually founded by Death but simply used death as a doctrine were banned. Some religions on Earth that encouraged suicide and martyrdom completely collapsed under the interference of Eternity.

The so-called "don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality." It's nothing to say that Death was strictly cracked down on. After all, from the surface, rule-based gods are indeed not allowed to engage in such small means to affect the balance in the universe. But there are so many rule-based gods, why did Eternity only stare at her and strictly crack down?

Oblivion doesn't appear much in comics, and his status is kept relatively well. But in early comics, most of the few times he appeared were as a villain image destroying the universe.

Death knows her own family's affairs. Oblivion not only fishes and doesn't work, but also often caused trouble for Eternity and Infinity in the past.

In terms of hard work, Oblivion is the lowest among the five gods. Even if Galactus is hungry most of the time without a brain, he is also conscientiously performing his duties as the universe's cleaner. But Oblivion just squats there, letting people talk for a lifetime.

What's even more infuriating is that Oblivion has everything from cultural influence to religious dissemination to messengers. This wave of strict crackdown passed, and he was fine. Even now, continuing to spread nihilism on Earth, still no one cares about him.

Most of the rage in this world begins with "Why on earth" and ends with "Is it worth it?" Now Death is in the stage of "Why on earth" full of her brain.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. The more she retreated, the more she felt she lost. Oblivion committed such a major violation and nothing happened, while she only engaged in some small means that didn't affect the universe's balance and was strictly investigated and cracked down on. Why on earth is this?

Death was angrier the more she thought about it, so much so that she didn't even have time to pay attention to the two door gods blocking her door. She waved her hand at Stark and Strange and said: "Haven't you discovered it yet? Shiler played you. He ran away long ago. If you go back to Earth now, you should be able to hear his triumphant laughter."

Stark and Strange looked at each other, and then observed the back of the Goddess of Death who was loveless. They felt that what she said had some truth. After hesitating for a while, they decided to go find him elsewhere. It wouldn't delay anything if they couldn't find him and came back.

Death, who returned to her palace, thought about it. She knew that if she went to theorize with Eternity now, Eternity would have to turn over old accounts again. Plus, Adam was calculated by Shiler before, and now he is in a bad mood. If another wave of strict crackdown comes, she will be the unlucky one again.

Death thought for a long time, her eyes turned. Her belly full of bad water had been saved for a long time. So, one night, our Interstellar Safety Committee lifetime consultant Thanos heard that long-lost voice again.

"Thanos... Thanos... Thanos..."

The ethereal female voice kept repeating Thanos's name, and even calling his childhood name. Thanos, who was sitting at the desk rushing to write a report, paused his pen tip, then pushed the glasses on his face and said: "Hello, Goddess of Death, is there anything?"

Death choked.

There were really too many points to complain about in this sentence of Thanos, which made Death speechless for a while. She hesitated and opened her mouth: "Uh, Thanos, actually I have something I want to..."

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The communicator placed on the table by Thanos suddenly screamed sharply. Thanos frowned and answered the phone, then stood up from his seat with a "whoosh."

"What did you say? The wandering Galactus is approaching the Ring Star Zone again? Is it the destruction signal reported by the Nova Corps? That cosmic pirate team called the Ravagers is also involved? Alright, I'm going over right now!"

After speaking, Thanos put down the phone, threw down his pen, changed his clothes at an extremely fast speed, called a special car for the Interstellar Safety Committee, came to the teleportation gate of the Shi'ar Empire recently, and then traveled through the jump to the outpost at the scene of the incident.

Along the way, Thanos was talking to all kinds of people, first chatting with the special car driver about the sudden situation, then confirming the patrol situation with the teleportation gate guard, and after landing, he greeted the outpost commander. Before the combat meeting started, Thanos went to the bathroom, and Death finally had time to open her mouth and ask.

"Uh, can I ask what you are doing?"

"I am guarding interstellar safety, ma'am. This is the men's room, can you go out first?"

"I am not... oh my god, don't take off your pants, I'll come back later."

Thanos walked out of the bathroom and returned to the conference room, finding that quite a few people were already sitting inside. He walked up and shook hands with one of the Skrull commanders and said: "I'm glad we met again, General Aza. How are you in the Interstellar Joint Defense Formation?"

"Thanks to you, it's not bad. It's much better than having to fight whoever I meet before... oh, the people from the Shi'ar Empire are here, and the Nova Corps and that bunch of cosmic pirates."

Thanos frowned when he heard the word cosmic pirate, but when he turned his head, he found that it was the three people he wasn't very familiar with but had seen who came together.

The one leading was wearing a suit of armor and a cloak. The most conspicuous thing was that there was a red star in the center of his helmet. He walked up and shook hands with Thanos and said: "Hello, I am the Centurion of the Nova Corps. You can just call me by my code name, Nova."

"Hello, big guy, Peter Quill of the Guardians of the Galaxy. This is Rocket Raccoon. We met at the wedding of the Asgard God King before." Quill, wearing the newly customized Guardians of the Galaxy uniform, walked up and shook hands with Thanos.

Thanos put his gaze on another young man again. He was wearing a red uniform with a regular triangle sign on his chest. His physique looked more burly than the two people beside him.

"Gladiator of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard." Gladiator introduced concisely.

"Sit down, let's talk about this accident. It's Galactus again. He's really a trouble, right?" Thanos reached out to invite the three people to sit down one by one. The commander called Aza, who was sitting in the first seat, nodded to the left and right and said.

"Thank the interstellar safety joint defense system established before. The Carl Star on the edge of the ring area reported the loss very timely. When they observed the figure of Galactus's messenger, Silver Surfer, they had already sent a warning signal to us. The Nova Corps had time to lead Galactus to deviate from the orbit, and did not rush directly into the core area of the ring area."

Nova stood up and saluted the surroundings, but he still turned to look at Quill and said: "This should thank our good partner, the Guardians of the Galaxy. They are a sharp force that follows orders and prohibits, perfectly attracting Galactus's attention."

"At the same time, I want to say that the Ravager team, this group of cosmic pirates, can be considered to have found themselves a not-so-evil livelihood. If it weren't for them cleaning up the battlefield, Carl Star would have been flooded by two planetary-mass space junk."

Gladiator stretched out a hand to signal that he had something to say, and then he said: "Her Majesty the Queen sends her regards to everyone. Her Majesty expressed the highest praise for the rapid response and good handling of this accident. And if we talk about the interstellar safety joint defense system established some time ago, we have to start from the beginning of the ten-thousand-year friendship between the Shi'ar Empire and the Skrull Empire..."

Death gasped.

Twenty minutes passed, and Gladiator finally finished reciting his manuscript. The commander of the Skrull Empire, Aza, stood up and clapped lightly, then everyone followed him in applause. Aza cleared his throat and said: "Yes, the interstellar safety situation can have such a stable situation now, of course, it is due to the long-term friendship between the three major empires. This makes me think of the Great Interstellarism that the Skrull Empire has upheld since its founding. The Skrull sage Bradick once said..."

Death reached out to support her forehead.

Another half an hour passed, and Aza also finished reciting his manuscript. As a result, Thanos stood up again. Death originally thought that Thanos was the last one to know about this, so he definitely didn't have time to write a manuscript. As a result, Thanos's first sentence made her eyes go black—Thanos started from the Big Bang of the universe.

In the next four hours, Death fully appreciated the essence of intelligent life holding meetings. After finally listening to a series of useless nonsense such as reviewing the past, encouraging the present, and looking forward to the future, and listening to the views of various forces on this accident and response measures, Thanos finally stood up from his chair and prepared to leave.

Death stood up from her chair with a start and followed behind Thanos. She said: "Thanos, I came to find you for something important..."

"Oh, my god, isn't this Thanos? How have you been lately? Haven't forgotten your old friend me, right!"

A blue-skinned burly man walked quickly to Thanos, grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously. Thanos pulled his hand back, pushed his glasses, looked at the person opposite and said: "Yondu, how did you mix into the outpost? You damn cosmic pirate, how could Aza let you in?"

"Don't say it so ugly." Yondu leaned his body back and made an exaggerated posture: "I am now a mercenary of the Interstellar Safety Committee, specifically responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. After all, in terms of looting everything in a short time and then safely withdrawing, who can do better than the Ravager team?"

"I heard you quickly cleared the wreckage left by Galactus devouring the planet and saved Carl Star?"

"Hi, I thought you were going to say something big. I sent the Jackal leading the engineering ship and a team of gravity tugboats over, and cleared that large area clean in ten minutes. Let alone planetary wreckage, even a little bit of powder residue was fed to the ore dogs. I said it, licking the ground is our specialty."

Thanos snorted coldly, shook his head and said: "It is indeed waste utilization. However, I want to say, you guys did a pretty good job this time."

Yondu immediately leaned over, put his arms around Thanos's shoulders and said: "It's not easy to get a word of affirmation from the lifetime consultant. The Emperor of Carl Star wants to invite us to dinner, want a drink?"

"No time, a goddess is looking for me..."

"Goddess, what goddess? You, a lifetime consultant holding the salary of the three major empires, will still lack women? I heard that the Emperor of Carl Star also prepared a team of male and female dancers for the celebration banquet. By then, what kind can't you find?"

Death stared at Yondu with wide eyes, the expression on her face as if she would take this blue-skinned pirate into the Realm of Death in the next second. But Thanos paused after hearing this and walked forward with big strides and said.

"It's not good to be so cold to the Emperor of Carl Star, right? However, I am very busy recently, I will leave after the banquet ends."

"That's right. But do you really not want to stay a while longer? How busy can you be?"

Thanos looked back at the figure of Death that Yondu couldn't see, and said meaningfully: "No time to die."
