"I’m different from you. I’m proficient in Black Magic and have plenty of ways to threaten the Blood God."

Facing Astros’s doubts, Chthon snorted coldly. "The Blood God doesn’t want to suffer mutual destruction with me, so he chose to compromise. Simply put, he lets me live, and I recall the other Demon Gods to end this battle completely."

"I see."

Astros did not doubt him. She knew very well just how formidable and scheming Chthon was.

"Chthon, why did you lose to the Blood God’s avatar?" Seth shouted. He would not have been too shocked if Chthon had lost to the Blood God’s true body. The problem was that the one who defeated Chthon had been the Blood God’s avatar.

That was completely unmagical.

Seth was not the only one who could not believe it. Everyone else was equally dumbfounded. Mindy exclaimed, "So Master wasn’t lying. That avatar of his really is the Invincible King."

"Unbelievable. Completely unbelievable."

Tony shook his head repeatedly. A god-level avatar defeating the strongest Ancient God made no sense at all, okay?

Trish silently recorded everything. Master was truly too powerful.

At that moment, Chthon said again, "I’ve said all that needed to be said. In short, this campaign against the Main Universe has completely failed. Whether you return to the Extraterritorial Void is up to you."

The Demon Gods hesitated briefly, then fled toward the Four Teleportation Gates together. What a joke. Even Chthon had lost. If they stayed behind, how would that be any different from waiting to die? "Why are you running? I haven’t killed enough yet."

Dr. Richards shouted as Gorr chased after them in a frenzy. To him, only dead Demon Gods were good Demon Gods.

The other Super Heroes stopped. The battle just now had taken quite a toll on them.

Seth panicked and shouted, "Chthon, I’m willing to leave. Save me."

Chthon said icily, "Seth, good luck."

"Chthon, you faithless bastard…"

Seth cursed furiously. If Chthon had not invited him, why would he have waded into this mess? Yet that bastard was actually abandoning him and running off alone.

"Defeated. Completely defeated. Master, you’re still stronger. I’m no match for you."

Hela sighed toward the sky, and the Night Sky Sword slipped weakly from her hand into space. Little Hela flew over and sealed her energy, saying, "I told you long ago that Master is omnipotent."

"Being able to defeat the strongest Ancient God with an avatar, Master truly is omnipotent."

Hela shook her head and said, "It seems that even Galactus is no match for Master."

Little Hela said confidently, "Of course. Master is invincible under heaven."

"It’s finally over."

Carol and the others all breathed sighs of relief. Hela had actually been very powerful. If it had only been them, they would have lost long ago. Fortunately, the Blood God stood behind them.

With the Blood God around, there was nothing to worry about.

Hela had given up, and Fenrir could not be bothered to fight anymore. He ran over and used his huge head to comfort his master, telling her not to be so sad or disappointed.

"Stupid dog, I finally beat you into submission! Hahaha, I won! I’m the strongest!"

Thor laughed smugly, utterly arrogant. Everyone looked at him expressionlessly, as if they were watching a bragging husky.

Back on Earth, Odin covered his face again. What a disgrace to the family!

Soon, the Demon Gods reached the Four Teleportation Gates. After hesitating, they entered three of them—none dared enter the one Astros had opened. There was probably something wrong inside, considering Astros was a traitor.

The leftmost gate had been opened by Chthon. After entering it, the Demon Gods found themselves teleported into a Large Magic Array. Black mist surrounded them, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"Great Demon God, what do you want?"

The Demon Gods cried out in terror. Wasn’t this gate supposed to lead to the Extraterritorial Void?

"I was badly injured by the Blood God and need some supplements."

Chthon’s voice rang out. The Demon Gods were terrified out of their wits. Obviously, the supplements Chthon referred to were them.

The Demon Gods hurriedly tried to rush out of the Magic Array, but it was far more powerful than they had imagined. No matter how they fled, they always returned to the center of the array.

"Stop struggling in vain. This is my Prime Plane. You cannot escape."

Chthon cackled, preparing to feast and restore himself. Demon Gods ought to treat themselves well.

The second gate had been opened by the Eye Demon Shuma-Gorath. After entering it, the Demon Gods found themselves trapped atop a towering mountain.

Then, three enormous figures appeared in the sky. Seeing them, the Demon Gods cried out in terror, "The Vishanti!"

That was right. The three figures were the trinity known as the Vishanti. Agamotto smiled and said, "This is our Prime Plane. You now have three choices."

The Demon Gods hurriedly asked, "What three choices?"

Agamotto said, "Choose whether to be beaten to death by me, Oshtur, or Hoggoth."

"You call that three choices?"

The Demon Gods were speechless. Hoggoth, the White Tiger, said, "Of course they are choices. The Blood God said that every Demon God who invaded the Main Universe must die."

With that, the Vishanti attacked. The Demon Gods’ miserable screams echoed through the Prime Plane.

The third gate had been opened by the Serpent God Seth. The moment the Demon Gods entered, they saw the Crimson God beating Knull.

"Has the Blood God brought me toys again?"

The Crimson God looked at the Demon Gods entering and smiled happily, like a child weighing tens of thousands of pounds.

The Demon Gods trembled, utterly despairing.

As for the fourth gate, it had been opened by Astros and led to the Extraterritorial Void. Unfortunately, not a single Demon God entered it.

"The Blood God rarely leaves you a way out, yet not one of you appreciated it."

Astros cursed unhappily. As the Space Lord, modifying a gate’s destination was simplicity itself for the Blood God.

"That’s it?"

Tony blinked and said, "I haven’t had enough fighting yet."

"You mean you haven’t shown off enough yet, right?"

Dr. Richards said smugly, "Hey, Tony, with me around, you won’t have any chances to show off in the future."

"I finally understand why everyone used to want to beat me up so badly."

Tony sighed. "Anyone want to beat up Dr. Richards?"

"Yes!"

Quite a few people raised their hands and looked at Dr. Richards with ill intent. Dr. Richards backed away while shouting arrogantly, "You think I’m afraid of you?"

Tony mocked, "Then stop running."

"The battle isn’t over yet. Don’t relax so much."

At that moment, Adam’s voice rang out. "Leave a few people behind to guard Seth and Hela. Everyone else, come to Hell to deal with the Eye Demon."

"No problem."

Steve and the others answered one after another. They were very interested in besieging an Ancient God. Hulk was breathing faster with excitement.

Then, the Hell Gate opened again, and everyone filed through it, officially entering Hell.

"Wow."

Looking at the battlefield ahead, filled with Space Storms and resembling the end of the world, Tony could not help swallowing. Were Ancient Gods’ true bodies really this terrifying? "I’ll bless you with the Chaos Concept, so the Eye Demon won’t be able to control you."

A phantom suddenly appeared before them. It was Adam. He said, "I have something to do and need to leave. Help me hold off the Eye Demon."

It was worth mentioning that the Mind Stone on Adam’s forehead was gone.

Everyone was puzzled. "You’re leaving at a time like this?"

"The Blood God needs my help."

Adam did not explain further. He said, "This place is up to you."

With that, Adam vanished. The Eye Demon waved its tentacles in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Adam, get out here! I haven’t turned you into a Chaos Creature yet."

Tony led the Super Heroes flying over and shouted, "Big-eyed cutie, Adam was called away by other guests. We’ll play with you instead."

The Eye Demon turned to glance at Tony, its face full of disgust. "An old man without any spiritual aura."

"An old man without any spiritual aura?"

Tony’s expression froze. Though the others had received professional training, they still could not stop themselves from bursting into laughter. You acted like a charming man every day, and now you’ve been exposed, haven’t you?

"I’m only eighteen! How am I old? You tasteless bastard, die!"

Tony roared and immediately fired at the Eye Demon. The others joined the attack as well. With their strength, they could not kill the Eye Demon, but holding it back for a while would not be a problem.

As for whether the Eye Demon might kill them, heh, did they think MVP Dracula was just for show?

"If quality isn’t enough, quantity will do. It’ll have to suffice. Times are tough, after all."

The Eye Demon sighed. A tentacle appeared out of thin air beside Steve, intending to bind him to death. At that moment, time around the tentacle suddenly stopped. Steve took the chance to escape, while everyone else attacked the tentacle together and blasted it into scraps.

"I hate the Sorcerer Supreme."

The Eye Demon cursed. Thinking of something, it asked while fighting, "Why are you able to come here? Is the battle in the Main Universe over?"

Tony fired missiles as he said, "It’s over. Chthon was defeated by the Blood God’s avatar and withdrew with the Demon Gods. Seth is still serving as an experiment, while Hela has surrendered."

"Chthon was defeated by the Blood God’s avatar? How is that possible?"

The Eye Demon was dumbfounded. The news was so explosive that it scared its insanity right out of it.

"Though I also find it unbelievable, it’s true."

As Skye spoke, she merged with Black Bolt to become Quake King. Enough time had passed for them to merge again.

"This isn’t magical at all. Does logic not matter anymore?"

The Eye Demon complained. It seemed the Demon God Alliance had failed completely this time.

"If that’s the case, there’s no need to care about the big picture anymore. I should have some fun with these Super Heroes."

The Eye Demon thought to itself, becoming a glorious lunatic once again.

On the front line, Deadpool looked at the empty battlefield and asked Spider-Man, "Do we still need to fight? Even Hela has surrendered."

"There really isn’t much need anymore."

Spider-Man’s avatars merged into one, and he said, "Wade, I’m going to Hell to join the battle. Come with me."

Deadpool dismissed his temporal counterparts and cried out in a coy manner, "Why should I go with you? We’re not even married yet."

Spider-Man wanted to roll his eyes. He said, "The overall situation has been decided. If you don’t do something, when the Blood God returns, he’ll tear you to pieces."

"I can’t die, so why would I fear being torn to pieces? Whether in novels or comics, Deadpool never dies. Even if I do die, I’ll come back to life."

Deadpool shrugged. As a glorious lunatic, he was not afraid of death at all. "Peter, I can’t betray Death. She’s fighting the Blood God right now."

"The Demon God Alliance has already collapsed. We’re just going to beat the dogs that have fallen into the water. It won’t affect the overall situation."

Spider-Man said eagerly, "I really want to fight a genuine Ancient God. That way, this trip won’t have been wasted."

"Am I not a genuine Ancient God? Uh, apparently not."

Deadpool thought for a moment and said, "Fine, I’ll go with you. This book only needs one lunatic."

Spider-Man somewhat wanted to roll his eyes. He could not be bothered to say more. Tearing open space, he took Deadpool into Hell.

Spider-Man and Deadpool joined the battle.

Both Spider-Man and Deadpool were extremely powerful. With their addition, the Eye Demon gradually became more and more bedraggled.

The Eye Demon’s response to this was: so exciting. What should it do? "They’ve all run off. Only we’re left."

Astros pretended to yawn and said, "Doom, put some more effort into it. I don’t want a crowd coming over to watch us. That would be so embarrassing."

"Ancient Gods can feel embarrassed too?"

Doctor Doom mocked. After thinking for a moment, he said to Ivan, "Ivan, want to try combining Antimatter and a Hydrogen Bomb? When Antimatter meets normal matter, it produces tremendous energy. So what happens if it meets matter undergoing nuclear fusion?"

"That idea… is truly creative. Let’s experiment."

Ivan said excitedly. Others would certainly not dare do such a thing, but neither Ivan nor Doctor Doom was normal.

If Wang Bert had not been keeping them in check, those two would have created a world-ending crisis in minutes. Earth’s scientists were truly terrifying.

Seth was so scared he was nearly wetting himself. He hurriedly shouted, "Astros, I surrender! I can serve you for ten thousand years."

"See? I wasn’t wrong. It didn’t even take five minutes for this guy to surrender."

Astros laughed loudly and said, "Sorry, Seth. I don’t need you. I only need your Prime Plane. Go die in peace."

"You want to take my Prime Plane?"

Seth was furious, then quickly realized something and begged again. "Astros, spare me. I’ll give you my Prime Plane. Without me, you can’t control my Prime Plane at all."

Astros said indifferently, "You don’t need to worry about that. Seth, just go die obediently. I’ll miss you."

"No…"

Seth continued begging, but Astros did not care at all. As an Ancient God, her heart was harder than Vibranium.

Doctor Doom and Ivan did not care either. They only wanted to conduct their experiment.

"Even without Master, you might not have been able to slaughter the universe, because these scientists would have desperately stopped you. By then, forget Asgard—even whether the universe could still exist would be a question."

Little Hela stroked the giant wolf Fenrir’s head as she spoke to Hela.

Hela glared at the traitor Fenrir and said, "Alarmist nonsense. What can mere scientists amount to?"

Little Hela sneered. "Those mere scientists you speak of created an Ancient God-level powerhouse not long ago."

Hela was speechless. After a long while, she squeezed out four words. "That isn’t scientific."

"Earth’s scientists were never scientific to begin with. Hela, Asgard has nothing to be proud of. Although Earthlings’ physiques are far inferior to Asgardians’, their wisdom surpasses the Asgardians’ by several streets."

Little Hela said, "Having Asgard join the Earth Federation really is helping Asgard."
