Chapter 699: A Billion Little Red Stars (Second Update)
Chapter 699: A Billion Little Red Stars (Second Update)
Seeing Thanos, covered in blood and lying on the ground after Aisha's magic, Jerry couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Sometimes, a well-intentioned lie is necessary!"
He felt that it would be best not to let Aisha know the truth about him being the creator of the mahjong tiles, Carmen.
Otherwise, it might really end in a lose-lose situation.
"You have nothing left to say!"
The crowd surrounded Thanos, who was gravely injured and barely clinging to life after Aisha's full-force attack. Nebula, filled with intense hatred, pressed the Worldslayer Blade against Thanos's neck, ready to end his life at any moment.
Thanos spat out a mouthful of blood, coughed, and showed no fear of death in his eyes, only regret and defiance:
"The universe's resources are limited. If we continue like this, the universe will eventually be destroyed, and everyone will die. You think you're doing the right thing, but you're all just shortsighted fools.
What I'm doing is truly just, and I am the one chosen by destiny!"
"Nothing lasts forever. When the universe is destroyed, it will naturally be reborn. If the end of the world is inevitable, we should face it with composure. But what you're doing is outright murder."
Tony stepped forward and said.
Jerry, however, waved his hand dismissively:
"There's no need to explain so much. Just kill him!"
Thanos's words might not be entirely wrong, and Tony's words might not be entirely right. Sometimes, it all comes down to perspective, especially when it involves the fate of the entire universe.
No matter how much they debate, there will be no resolution. The most correct course of action is to end it quickly.
It's like a great physician is about to die, but killing a fool can save this physician. Once the physician is saved, he can heal countless patients with incurable diseases, bringing happiness and fulfillment to countless families. For most people, this would be a good thing.
But the fool's death will only sadden the fool's family.
What would you choose?
No choice can be definitively right; it depends on whether you are the fool's family or the patients' families.
Of course, this is just Jerry's personal view. He wants to protect Earth, to protect his family and friends. So, he must kill Thanos, regardless of whether Thanos's ideology is right or wrong.
"Do you think killing me will end everything? You will regret it.
If you don't kill me, only half of Earth's population will die, but if you kill me, no one on Earth will survive. They will all become nourishment!"
As Nebula raised the Worldslayer Blade high, Thanos laughed loudly just before his head was severed.
"Slash!"
The blade fell, and a large purple head hit the ground, the expression frozen in that laugh.
"What did he mean by that?"
Steve frowned, feeling that Thanos's words didn't sound like empty threats.
Jerry waved his hand:
"I know what he means. Don't worry; I'll handle that problem. Just focus on managing the Wasteland. Earth will eventually connect with the universe, and you will be the pioneers representing Earth in this new era."
He knew Thanos was referring to the Celestial embryo growing within Earth. Once the population reached a certain number, the embryo would absorb all life on Earth and grow into a true Celestial.
The issue of the Celestials was a matter of cosmic scale, beyond the scope of what Tony and the others could interfere with or solve. Therefore, Jerry didn't tell them.
However, there's no need to worry too much because he's just one step away from reaching the Single Universe level.
Once he reaches that level, he will have the leverage to negotiate with the Celestials. If the Celestials want to judge Earth, they won't have the final say anymore.
"Mr. Dyfan, as you can see, we have taken care of Thanos. Can we start fulfilling our previous agreement now?"
After dealing with Thanos, Jerry led the Avengers to Dyfan's side.
Dyfan, seeing the situation, didn't dare to delay and quickly smiled.
"Of course, but I wonder, Mr. Carmen, would you be willing to sell me all the Infinity Stones? I can offer you five times the original price."
"Let's not bother. I didn't sell the gems to Mr. Dyfan for the money. I felt it was inappropriate for me to keep all of them, and it was better to have them distributed.
But now, it seems safer for me to keep them."
Jerry shook his head and directly refused.
Dyfan sighed, a look of disappointment on his face.
There was nothing he could do. Jerry was too powerful. Even if he brought in the strongest Enforcer from the Cosmic Elders, it would be difficult to forcibly take the Infinity Stones from Jerry.
Besides, Jerry wasn't like Thanos. Thanos had destroyed his Wasteland, so he could naturally seek justice from other Cosmic Elders. But Jerry had helped him deal with Thanos, which was like getting revenge for him.
If he tried to get the Cosmic Elders to help him take the Infinity Stones from Jerry now, the other Cosmic Elders wouldn't agree.
So, apart from sighing, he had no other options.
Jerry returned the trillion cosmic coins that Dyfan had previously paid him, and the transaction was officially over. According to the laws of the universe, the Wasteland now belonged to him.
"Goodbye, Mr. Carmen!"
With the transaction complete, Dyfan didn't stay long. He boarded his spaceship and left the Wasteland with the remaining few of his subordinates.
The Wasteland was the main base of the Dyfan Group, but it didn't mean they had no bases on other planets.
Watching Dyfan pass through the jump point outside the Wasteland and disappear completely, Jerry then ascended to the sky above the Wasteland and began to cast a spell:
"Restore!"
A powerful magic power enveloped the entire Wasteland. The area, which had been almost reduced to ruins due to the battle, was instantly restored to the bustling state it was in when Jerry and the others first arrived.
"Alright, Tony, the rest is up to you!"
After restoring the Wasteland, Jerry handed it over to Tony for management.
As the wealthiest superhero on Earth and the head of Stark Industries, Tony was the most suitable person to manage the Wasteland.
Meanwhile, Jerry opened his Panel and began to count his most significant harvest from this mission—Little Red Stars.
"A billion!"
Seeing the billion Little Red Stars added to his Panel, Jerry's face showed a very satisfied expression.
Now, adding the five billion from defeating Ego, he had a total of fifteen billion Little Red Stars. The small amount left over didn't matter to him anymore.
"Perhaps it's time to read the Dark Divine Book!"
Looking at the number of Little Red Stars on his Panel, Jerry took out the Dark Divine Book he had kept in the ring world and made a decision in his heart.
