Wang Bert wasn’t surprised by the Eye Demon’s choice. Their last encounter had taught him that the Eye Demon was a complete lunatic.
"Five layers of Hell being sacrificed—the sight will definitely be spectacular. Maybe the entire universe will collapse by then. Hell is an important part of the universe."
The Eye Demon laughed wildly as it forced its way toward the Main Universe. To an existence like it, gains and losses were unimportant. What mattered was novelty and fun.
"Then I’ll play with you… play my ass. You’re a lunatic, but I’m not. Eye Demon, you’re not good enough to play with me."
Wang Bert suddenly sneered. The Eye Demon froze, and just as it was about to say something, a crimson figure suddenly embraced it from behind and dragged it backward with all its strength.
"Cyttorak, what are you doing?"
The Eye Demon roared. That crimson figure was none other than Cyttorak, the Crimson God.
Cyttorak was no ordinary ancient god. Within his Crimson Dimension, he was omnipotent. Moreover, Kamar-Taj had a special connection with Cyttorak, even possessing a spell called Cyttorak’s Crimson Bands—in the movies, Dr. Strange had once used it to bind Thanos’s right hand.
"What you did to me, I’ll do to you. Fair, isn’t it?"
Cyttorak sneered as he dragged the Eye Demon backward. The Eye Demon roared, "Do you know that all you’re doing is benefiting the Blood God?"
"So what? If the Blood God doesn’t die by my hand, it means nothing to me."
Cyttorak scoffed. "Besides, he has already paid the price for this. How do you think I ended up here?"
"You’re actually colluding with the Blood God?"
The Eye Demon roared. Cyttorak couldn’t be bothered to answer. He shouted at Wang Bert, "Blood God, Ebony Maw’s soul pays for my intervention this time, but don’t underestimate my hatred. This isn’t over. Next time, I will kill you."
As Wang Bert continued bombarding the Eye Demon, he shouted, "I’ll be waiting."
The Eye Demon roared, "Cyttorak, let go of me! You and I can enter the Main Universe together and slaughter to our hearts’ content."
"I’m not you. I won’t go back on a promise."
Cyttorak sneered and increased his strength, pulling the Eye Demon out of the Main Universe inch by inch.
"Blood God, this isn’t over!"
The Eye Demon roared unwillingly. Wang Bert smiled disdainfully as the Shockwave suddenly expanded, blasting the Eye Demon completely out of the Main Universe. Seeing that there was no hope left, the Eye Demon turned around and swung its tentacles at Cyttorak.
Why would Cyttorak fear the Eye Demon? The two ancient gods began battling in the endless void, destroying many small dimensions on the spot.
Of course, that had nothing to do with Wang Bert. After driving the Eye Demon away, he immediately used the Space Stone to repair the spatial rift. Once everything was done, he shouted, "Stop the sacrifice."
The light of the Reality Stone and Wang Bert’s body dimmed at the same time. The natural disasters in One-Eyed Hell abruptly came to an end, and the demons who had escaped death stared at the torn void in the distance and burst into tears.
Even demons had been terrified by such a catastrophe.
This time, Wang Bert had sacrificed a full third of One-Eyed Hell, along with the One-Eyed Demon King.
"This Blood God is definitely insane."
The Demon Dragon Lord and the others all felt lingering fear. This Blood God was too ruthless, too crazy, too powerful, too terrifying. The next two hundred years probably wouldn’t be easy.
Having dealt with Grandmaster’s final measure, Wang Bert let out a huge sigh of relief. He put away the Infinity Gauntlet, but just as he was about to speak, his body exploded into a Blood River that flowed across the ground.
"Is something wrong with the Blood God’s body?"
Everyone was somewhat surprised. It seemed that such a sacrifice had not come without a price.
Wang Bert shouted, and his body gathered once more, returning to human form. He cursed, "Damn it, I used too much force just now. I can barely suppress it anymore."
"What’s going on? You’re not about to die, are you? Does that mean I’m about to become official?"
Adam said to Wang Bert through their minds, "Ha, it seems that when you’re handsome, even heaven favors you."
"Get lost. The Dragon God’s blood is too nourishing. My body is about to begin transforming."
Wang Bert cursed before explaining through their minds, "This body isn’t my original one. This transformation will return it to its origin and restore it to the body from my previous life. To reach a perfect state, I need to sleep for a while."
Adam said, "Go in peace. Leave everything to me. I’ll clean things up for you."
"You’re overthinking it. You and all the demons must return to Hell immediately. You can’t remain in the Main Universe for too long."
Wang Bert said, "I’ll take care of the loose ends, then find a place to sleep."
Wang Bert said no more. He raised the Spear of God high, and God’s Cloak emerged from the void, flying beside the Spear of God.
Then, light flickered continuously across God’s Cloak as if it were questioning the Spear of God. The Spear of God couldn’t be bothered to explain and directly absorbed it into itself, waiting for Wang Bert to deal with it.
In truth, Wang Bert had no intention of making God’s Cloak his own. Its abilities overlapped with those of the Space Stone, making it useless to him. He would keep it for now and decide later.
As soon as God’s Cloak was withdrawn, communications were restored. High Priestess Ayesha anxiously asked, "Blood God, what happened just now? How did the battle go?"
"I’ll tell you later."
Wang Bert didn’t elaborate. He turned to Adam and the other two and said, "You three, attack One-Eyed Hell. Before it gives birth to a new lord, swallow it and strengthen Adam Hell."
"Fine. It’ll be a good opportunity to intimidate the other Hell Lords."
Adam laughed. "This is the first step toward becoming Satan."
The Demon Dragon Lord and Flame Demon Lord couldn’t help glancing at Adam. Before, Adam becoming Satan had been nothing more than a joke, but now it had become genuinely possible.
Mephisto and Lucifer, the two strongest Demon Kings of Hell, had fallen one after another. In addition, Adam had three Demon King slaves under his command. Unless the other Demon Kings teamed up, they had no chance of stopping him.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Bert handed Lucifer’s soul and greatsword to Adam. "Handle Lucifer and his Hell yourself."
Wang Bert hadn’t purified Lucifer’s soul. To Adam, the soul of a Demon King was an enormous tonic.
Adam put away Lucifer’s soul and said, "No problem. Leave it to me. Oh, give me those ten million souls too. I’ll reincarnate them as demons."
"Wait on that. They haven’t had their revenge yet. Gather your forces first."
Wang Bert waved his hand, then turned his gaze toward the Mirror Dimension.
The Gargoyle Lord and the others had sensed the enormous commotion earlier. Seeing that even ancient gods had been driven away, the Gargoyle Lord was completely despairing. He shouted, "Blood God, I surrender too. Two hundred years."
Doom and the others jeered. They had always imagined Hell Lords to be terrifying, but after actually encountering them, they realized they were nothing special.
Wang Bert didn’t refuse. He said, "Defeat Doom and the others, and you only need to serve me for a hundred years. If you lose, it’ll be a thousand."
The Gargoyle Lord looked at Doom and the others, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine. I’ll fight them."
The word "fight" showed just how much pressure Doom and the others put on the Gargoyle Lord. That was only natural—after all, these were Super Heroes from Earth.
"Gargoyle Lord, get ready to work for the Blood God for a thousand years, without pay."
Doom laughed loudly and led everyone in another attack. The Succubus Lord yawned. It seemed she would be completely useless this time.
Of course, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Her strengths had never been in combat.
With communications restored, Tony shouted in exaggerated surprise, "Fighting a Hell Lord is that exciting? Hey, lunatic, have Bert open a door. I want to go too."
"We don’t need weaklings here."
Ivan joined his twin whips together and slammed them toward the Gargoyle Lord with Black Edge. The Gargoyle Lord raised an arm to block, only for it to be sliced open by the whips. If he hadn’t dodged quickly, even his body would have been cut apart.
"Awesome."
Ivan laughed and charged in again. Tony gritted his teeth in anger. Bert, I want to fight Demon Kings.
"The world’s second-richest man, a super-genius scientist, yet he thinks about going to war every day. What is wrong with him?"
Wang Bert shook his head. While suppressing the surging blood energy within his body, he teleported to the underground space. Carol and the others had already destroyed the barrier and were carrying out the final assault.
Their success had come not only from everyone’s strength, but also because Ego had been frightened by the consecutive battles.
"Blood God, I surrender! I surrender!"
The moment Ego saw Wang Bert appear, he immediately gave in. He had no choice. So many Hell Lords, plus two ancient gods, had failed to defeat the Blood God. What could he possibly do? He was in despair too.
"Don’t resist."
Wang Bert threw the Casket of Ancient Winters toward Ego’s brain core. Though Ego claimed to surrender, he had no desire to let someone control his brain. He immediately controlled numerous energy whips and smashed them toward the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Seeing this, Carol immediately rushed forward and entangled several energy whips. Thor, Ares, and the others also acted, blocking every one of them.
Ego wanted to make one last desperate struggle, but Star-Lord roared and desperately suppressed Ego’s energy, preventing him from retaliating.
Ego roared in shock and fury, "Star-Lord, if I die, you’ll have nothing!"
"I’d rather have nothing. Ego, get the hell into Hell."
Star-Lord cursed. At that moment, the Casket of Ancient Winters landed beside Ego’s brain, and boundless cold surged out, rapidly freezing Ego’s brain solid.
"No!"
Ego’s projection tried to do something, but Wang Bert clenched his hand from afar and crushed the projection, turning it into dissipating energy.
This time, Ego could no longer revive, because his brain had already been frozen.
"It’s finally over."
Looking at the now-quiet energy whips around him, Star-Lord let out a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Wang Bert, "Blood God, how do you plan to deal with Ego?"
Wang Bert didn’t answer immediately. He beckoned toward the ceiling, and a grain of sand fell. Then, the grain cracked apart, revealing Nebula and a super-sized bomb before everyone.
Other than Gamora, everyone was quite surprised. Nebula had been here the entire time.
"The reason I never used this super-sized bomb was because I wanted to use Ego’s brain and soul to repair the Celestial Head."
Wang Bert looked at Star-Lord and said, "Ego is your father. If you disagree, I can use only his brain and spare his soul."
Star-Lord immediately said, "He isn’t my father. Blood God, deal with him however you want."
"That makes things easier. Star-Lord, after Ego dies, you’ll lose your Celestial power."
Wang Bert smiled. "I’ll compensate you. Power, wealth, authority—which do you want?"
"There’s no need. I never wanted this Celestial power anyway."
Star-Lord shook his head. Wang Bert smiled, then beckoned, stripping Ego’s soul from his brain.
Ego shouted in terror, "Blood God, spare me! I can serve you."
Everyone sneered. This was a so-called Celestial? Thor and Ares looked especially disdainful. You call yourself a god? Wang Bert couldn’t be bothered to waste words. He directly sealed Ego away, intending to use him as material later.
Seeing that Ego had finally been dealt with, Star-Lord let out a huge breath. Then he remembered Wang Bert’s earlier promise and shamelessly asked, "Blood God, does your earlier promise still count?"
Jeers arose all around. This guy really couldn’t stay cool for more than three seconds.
Wang Bert asked, "It counts. What do you want?"
Star-Lord said, "A new Milano. My Milano has been destroyed twice already. This time, I want one that’s sturdy."
"The Milano?"
Wang Bert generously said, "Fine, I’ll give you a new one. I’ll make the outer shell from Vibranium so it won’t keep getting smashed apart."
"Really?"
Star-Lord’s eyes lit up. He knew what Vibranium was.
Wow, getting screwed over by Dad really had prospects. He’d gotten a Vibranium spaceship out of it. Wait, didn’t he have another dad?
Rocket burst into laughter. "A Vibranium Milano? Hahaha, I’m going to be rich."
"That’s my Milano."
"Mine."
Seeing the two of them start arguing, Wang Bert shook his head and said to Carol, "Carol, take them to clean up the battlefield. I still have something to deal with."
"Okay."
Carol nodded. Wang Bert didn’t waste time and teleported to the Blood Sea above. Then, he extracted the Runner’s soul and said, "I want the memories in your mind related to General Vili."
"No problem."
The Runner didn’t waste words or resist. Wang Bert quickly obtained General Vili’s location, put the Runner’s soul away again, opened a portal, and headed for the planet where General Vili was located.
"As long as Grandmaster sends over the Blood God’s corpse, I’ll become the new Supreme."
General Vili was currently celebrating wildly with his subordinates. As for slaughtering over ten million people a few days ago, it meant nothing to them. It had been easy—just activate the cannons and bombard them madly.
Besides, the Kree never thought highly of the native planets they conquered. To them, the natives were merely slaves.
"You want my corpse? Fine. I’ll deliver myself right to your doorstep."
At that moment, Wang Bert’s voice suddenly rang out. Then, with a bang, the doors and the wall connected to them were blasted open.
Seeing the figure floating in the sky, General Vili first froze, then shouted in terror, "It’s the Blood God! Kill him, quickly!"
The soldiers immediately raised their weapons and fired, while the surrounding spacecraft and warships rapidly closed in.
Wang Bert raised his hand and activated the Blood Control Technique. All the Kree Soldiers were involuntarily lifted into the air. Then, their bodies exploded, and their blood and souls flew into Wang Bert’s hand together.
Boom, boom, boom! With no one controlling them, the spacecraft crashed to the ground and exploded. With a wave of Wang Bert’s hand, the entire base was engulfed in roaring flames.
A Kree army was destroyed just like that.
Then, Wang Bert took out the wine cup containing over ten million souls and said to the Vengeful Souls inside, "Go take your revenge."
With that, Wang Bert merged the wine cup into the sealed space. Over ten million Vengeful Souls flew out, glaring viciously at the Elders of the Universe, as well as the Kree generals and soldiers.
"No! Blood God, spare me!"
Astronomer and Grandmaster shouted in terror at the same time. Unfortunately, neither Wang Bert nor the ten million Vengeful Souls had any intention of sparing them.
The next moment, shrill screams echoed through the sealed space.
