Chapter 924

The cosmic boundary that many people fantasize about does not actually exist, or rather, every part of the universe is its boundary. This is not a position that can be defined by traditional distance and direction.

In a void dark space, a black-haired girl emitting a faint light had her hands emitting brilliant light. She drew lightly in the air, and a bright screen appeared in front of her. Inside the screen was a purple-skinned figure.

"Respected Lord Thanos, how have you been lately? I am here to report to you the recent progress of my work. The task you proposed for the Dark Quadrant to extract benefits from the universe has not yet made any progress."

"However, the matter you proposed for me to find a way for you to return to the universe has had some clues."

And Thanos on the other side of the screen frowned and said, "You mean, you found a way for me to return to this universe? What is it?"

Loki revealed a smile and said, "Respected Lord Thanos, please don't forget that I am not your subordinate, just following the transaction to help you handle things. Asgard's tradition is—hand over money, hand over goods, and settle the account only when the money and goods are cleared, so it is convenient for us to conduct deeper cooperation."

Thanos snorted coldly and said, "You shouldn't be called the God of Deception, but the God of Greed. You haven't done anything for me yet, and you want me to pay the price?"

"Your Majesty, you had better figure out the current situation." Loki raised her tone and said expressionlessly, "You are now trapped outside the cosmic barrier, but you still haven't given up on conquering the universe."

"The cosmic barrier is not something that can be broken through by simple physical means. There are very few people in the entire universe who can communicate with you in this way, except for the Aesir, it is humanity. If you don't want to choose me as a partner, then I can help you find Tony Stark to see if he will be interested in this business..."

Thanos's face turned black because Loki hit his weakness. He had designs on Earth and knew the strength of the Avengers very well.

The current Thanos has neither a glove nor stones. The development of the Dark Quadrant has been stagnant at the stage of intra-star-system civilizations, and even interstellar colonization has not yet been opened.

His personal strength is very strong, but whether he can withstand the mixed doubles of Odin and the Ancient One is unknown. The civilization strength is much stronger than Earth's, but in interstellar society, it can only be considered middle-tier.

Even more miserable is that now, whether it is him personally or the civilization, they are trapped outside the universe. Thanos, who has not yet obtained the glove and has not been promoted, does not have the ability to roam the multiverse. Leaving the Dark Quadrant, he cannot even move, and he doesn't know how to return to the universe.

Up to now, the only one willing to contact him and capable of contacting him is this despicable God of Deception, Loki. If he wants to get out of the current predicament, he can only rely on Loki.

Therefore, even knowing that she intends to open her mouth wide, Thanos can only endure for a while. He feels that sooner or later, he will get it back with interest. After all, Asgard's Ragnarok will not be too far away.

"What do you want?" Thanos asked.

"Asgard has no interest in the Dark Quadrant's spaceship technology." Loki curled her lips and said with some disdain, "Asgard doesn't look at that kind of backward spaceship technology like primitive people. However, your unique chariot technology is a bit interesting. The God King hopes to get some research materials, you know..."

Loki revealed a sweet smile and said, "I can be promoted above the universe and then use magic to bring these devices back. However, you also know that this method is not applicable to any life with a soul and cannot be used on you."

"Then what is the method you mentioned to let me return to the universe?" Thanos asked.

"Don't be anxious, listen to me explain slowly." Loki was quite patient. She said unhurriedly, "Although I don't know why you came here, there is a very simple way to come back."

"What is it?" Thanos's tone could not help but reveal a trace of anxiety. He had had enough of being trapped here.

Although before, he had always stayed in the Dark Quadrant, burying his head in developing his army, but being willing to stay at home and being forced to stay at home are two different feelings.

Moreover, only studying without practicing, the technology tree will sooner or later be crooked. Thanos also knows this truth, so he urgently needs actual combat to solve some problems that appear in research.

"Death." Loki spat out a very short word directly. Seeing Thanos's "Are you playing with me" expression, Loki smiled again and said, "I mean, death and then resurrection."

"Whether it is inside or outside the universe, the souls of the dead belong to Death. But if one can be resurrected, then I can first transport your body into the universe, and the soul can go to Valhalla through the resurrection procedure, and then be resurrected from Valhalla to the body inside the universe. In this way, you will be back inside the universe."

Loki described this process very clearly, but Thanos narrowed his eyes and said, "I know Asgard has Valhalla, but do you think I will hand over my soul to you and let the Asgardians manipulate it?"

Loki shrugged and said, "You indeed don't need to trust us. Anyway, it's not us who are in a hurry to come back."

Loki shook her head and turned to leave. Thanos called her back as expected. He asked, "Is there only this one method?"

Loki sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you must know that the cosmic barrier is not a simple physical wall. It seems to exist, but in reality, it does not exist. The reason you cannot leave the Dark Quadrant is not because there is a wall blocking your door."

"But because life forms that have not been promoted cannot even perceive the existence of the wall. If you cannot perceive it, you cannot break through it."

"I will make this deal with you precisely because of Asgard's special situation. We need to face Ragnarok and need to obtain all the power we can obtain. Otherwise..."

Loki snorted coldly, quite disdainfully. Her implication was that she could be promoted, so why make a deal with Thanos? Summarized into three words, it is—Are you worthy?

In the original comic, when Loki met Thanos, he was a prisoner, and at that time, he was only the God of Deception, Asgard's unloved second prince, and a brother who was fighting with his brother.

And now, she is the Radiant Goddess who has seen the scenery above the universe, Asgard's princess, and one of the actual leaders of the Nine Realms.

From the perspective of civilization level, she can naturally talk to Thanos on an equal footing. Even, Asgard is much older and more powerful than the Dark Quadrant developed by Thanos.

From the perspective of personal strength, even if she is not promoted to the Radiant Goddess, if she fights with Thanos, even if she can't beat him and wants to run, Thanos with the glove can't catch her.

The initiative is completely with Loki. Thanos has to let her slaughter him. He hesitated for a while and then said, "I cannot hand over my soul to Asgard. This is my bottom line. Those things that happened in the Milky Way back then made me not trust any race in this galaxy. I absolutely cannot accept such conditions."

Loki waved her hand somewhat helplessly, as if she had known he would say so. She continued, "Alright, you caught up with a good time. Now, Asgard is not the only one with Valhalla."

"Before, civilizations with the ability to resurrect found that their resurrection quotas were limited, so they united and hoped to ask Death for an explanation."

"Death regulated the resurrection authority and established a United Heaven. There, all civilizations in the pan-human cultural circle that have resurrection authority have established offices. You can also choose to be resurrected there, but if you want to occupy Valhalla's resurrection quota, the price..."

Thanos's chest heaved. He knew that he would definitely be slaughtered again.

After some bargaining, the two reached a deal. Thanos occupies Asgard's resurrection quota and is resurrected from the United Heaven. He needs to pay the planetary landing chariot technology, all the equipment of a mature chariot troop, some equipment developed by Eternal Titans, and more importantly, historical data involving the Eternals and the Celestials.

Thanos thought that Loki taking these things was actually to find a way to crack Ragnarok. After all, mysterious existences like the Celestials are very likely to touch the more fundamental level of the universe, and the secrets on them are very likely the key to cracking Ragnarok.

Thanos gave the data, but the data was not perfect. Loki didn't care either. After the two reached a preliminary cooperation intention, the whole resurrection process went very smoothly.

Loki was first promoted above the universe and brought the fleet weapons Thanos needed and his rewards back into the universe. At the same time, Thanos's body was also brought back. Thanos died using Asgard's resurrection quota and did not enter the realm of death, but entered the United Heaven.

After being resurrected from the United Heaven to the body inside the universe, Thanos officially returned to the universe.

But Loki couldn't bring back all the fleets of the Dark Quadrant. She only brought a main fleet Thanos had prepared, and didn't put it in the Dark Quadrant, but threw it on the edge of the Milky Way.

After Thanos was resurrected from the life-support cabin of the main fleet's control room, he didn't rush to his target point immediately. He still had precautions against Loki, so he planned to follow a random route and wander around in the nearby universe.

When the fleet was sailing in the empty universe, Thanos felt a trace of intimacy in his heart. But just at this time, he suddenly saw a bright gap appear in front of the fleet, and then all the alarms of the fleet sounded.

"Warning! Warning! Warning! Detected strange fleet approaching..."

"Anti-jump device activated... Anti-jump failed! Trap detection device activated... No abnormality found... hum."

"Gravity trap hit the side frigate of the spaceship, loss quantity 3."

"Abnormal energy gathering detected, shield deployed! Shield loss! Shield loss! Shield loss!"

Thanos, standing in the control room, saw from the porthole that in an instant, a million-starship army appeared in front of him. Everywhere he looked, they were all main attack fleets waiting to eat people.

"Terrorist Thanos! Put down your weapons! Do not resist! You will definitely pay the price for provoking the three major empires!"

"Terrorist Thanos! Give up resistance! Give up resistance! Repeat, you have violated the interstellar safety and peace guidelines, close all gun ports! Stop charging! Any resistance will definitely lead to destruction!!!!"

Thanos gritted his teeth, hammered the control panel, and said, "What is going on??!! Loki, this damn liar!!!!"

"I am Thanos, this is a misunderstanding, I can..."

"Warning! Warning! Warning! High energy reaction ahead! High energy reaction ahead!"

In Thanos's field of vision, a brilliant radiance flashed by. Instantly, the spaceship cabin shook. He had no time to think, dodged the splashing sparks at an extremely fast speed, and then fled for his life in the smoky spaceship corridor until he boarded a frigate.

In the critical moment, the small spaceship ejected from the cabin. Thanos drove the spaceship and drove to the nearest planet at an extremely fast speed, and hid behind the planet.

Hiding in the small spaceship, he watched his main fleet disappear completely in the endless artillery fire.

Thanos, who understood that this place was not suitable for a long stay, drove the small spaceship used for escaping and fled here at the fastest speed. What he didn't discover was that when he was not far from the spaceship, a green figure flashed by.

A bright circle of light, with a brilliant tail trace, brought a short light to the whole universe in a dark space.

The circle of light hit the spaceship, fireworks lit up the night sky, and after the light flashed by, all that remained was the lonely Thanos.

No fleet, no weapons, no Infinity Stones, and no way home. Hundreds of years of effort were completely turned into nothing.

At this time, the Cosmic Overlord Thanos was left alone, and, the future is always promising.
