Just as the light was about to destroy the entire Universe, it dissipated with extreme speed.
"How…is that possible?"
Arishem the Judge stared in disbelief at the Black Death Sword, which had pierced through the Celestial Matrix and impaled his chest.
The energy from the supernova explosion and Arishem the Judge was continuously plundered by the Black Death Sword and transferred into Qinuo's body.
Qinuo's depleted energy was instantly replenished, and golden veins on the Black Death Sword's blade pulsed and swelled as if alive, emitting a heart-palpitating glow.
Arishem the Judge's body flickered repeatedly; he tried to pull another version of himself to take his place, but his body was firmly locked into this World by the Black Death Sword's symbiotic tissue.
He was unable to move.
He could only feel his energy and tissues being plundered, becoming nourishment for his opponent.
Arishem the Judge was unwilling to fail like this; he tried to continue triggering the cosmic big bang, making one last struggle.
However, the temperature and energy of the Celestial Matrix continuously decreased, like a bonfire burning out, quickly turning into dust.
He couldn't die; he still had a Universe to maintain!
Six-colored light burst from Arishem the Judge's eyes, and at that moment, six tentacles pierced into his six orifices, digging out the Infinity Stones.
[Collection plus six]
The energy of the Celestial Matrix had been completely absorbed.
The Infinity Stones were dug out.
His body was also locked by the Black Death Sword, unable to move.
What else could he do?
Arishem the Judge was no different from a pig awaiting slaughter.
In despair, Arishem the Judge transformed his remaining energy into a distress signal, sending it to his counterparts in other Universes.
However, the Arishem the Judges from other Universes, upon receiving the distress signal from another version of themselves, all chose to ignore it without exception.
Second Universe.
This was also the headquarters of the Celestials.
A colossal blue metallic humanoid stood above the void.
One Above All.
Not the Marvel supreme God OAA, but the leader of the Celestials, created by the First Firmament, responsible for coordinating and managing the work of other Celestials, possessing the combined strength of all Celestial members.
"Arishem the Judge…"
His gaze fell upon this Universe.
Arishem the Judge was impaled through the chest by an unfamiliar Celestial using the Black Death Sword.
He opened a blue portal and was about to step through it when he realized the person on the other side was not Arishem the Judge.
"A rare species I've never seen, come have a drink with me."
On the other side of the portal was a woman.
The Celestial leader closed the portal without a second thought.
"Refusing a lady's invitation is not the behavior of a gentleman."
The woman's voice came from the sky.
The Celestial leader suddenly looked up, and a gigantic human face appeared in the sky, while he became toy-sized, standing in the palm of her hand.
Arishem the Judge! What in the World did you do?!
——
Until his Death, Arishem the Judge never received the rescue he desired.
His enormous metallic body had also shriveled somewhat.
After Qinuo absorbed all of his energy, he felt a bit bloated, and even the Black Death Sword's slender, sharp blade had turned into a blunt rod.
He was stuffed.
Although he was beaten by his descendant.
But given how full he was, he would forgive this descendant.
Moreover, this wielder was not bad; as soon as he came out, he treated him to a feast, which was much better than starving for tens of billions of years with Knull.
The Black Death Sword transformed into a bracelet and clasped onto Qinuo's wrist; he certainly had no intention of returning to that dark, gloomy place.
[Burp! I feel like I don't want to eat anything for several years.]
Venom let out a satisfied burp, its voice tinged with contentment and drowsiness; it needed to properly digest this massive amount of energy.
"Go to sleep if you're tired; there's no danger anymore," Qinuo said.
[Hmm, if there's danger, remember to wake…me…up…]
Venom's voice in his mind gradually weakened.
Qinuo also smiled slightly, looking towards Earth.
The battle on Earth had already ended; the energy of the Exterminators had been completely devoured by Star Eater, who was now savoring the Analyzer as a post-meal dessert.
Other mass-produced Celestials had also been eliminated, and Earth's warships were dragging these corpses back to Earth.
Earth also suffered considerable losses, but they were all within an acceptable range.
Looking at the surrounding desolation, Qinuo also felt a bit emotional.
His unconventional Demon King self had finally done something proper.
The aftermath of his battle with Arishem the Judge destroyed more than half of the Universe, including the Kree Empire's Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, the Shi'ar Empire's Andromeda galaxy, and the Nova Empire's Milky Way Galaxy…
Countless lives perished in this battle, and the entire Universe became ravaged.
Although Qinuo didn't feel much guilt, this ruined and destroyed Universe was clearly not what he wanted.
Reality: A ruined and destroyed Universe and life.
Falsehood: An intact Universe and life.
Replace!
With a snap of his fingers, a powerful energy spread outwards from Qinuo, and Qinuo also felt his bloated body instantly lighten.
Under the shroud of this vast energy, the space in the annihilated vacuum zone, originally caused by the battle's aftermath, was smoothed out as if by an invisible giant hand.
Galaxies, once ravaged by energy storms, with stars extinguished and Planets shattered, now saw stars relight like newborn sparks in the silent cosmos.
On the surfaces of previously destroyed Planets, mountains and rivers gradually reappeared, oceans gathered under the Planet's gravity, and the atmosphere reformed.
Shattered cities began to recover, and the dead came back to life.
It was as if they had a dream, a dream of the end of the World.
——
Three days later.
Various empires had restored order and operation, and during this period, the front lines of all empires were peaceful.
No one invaded; even if two opposing parties discovered each other, as long as there wasn't a deep-seated grudge, they pretended not to see each other and went about their business.
The entire Universe experienced an unprecedented period of peace during these few days.
Besides the reason of Death once, more importantly, it was due to the golden giant creating stars in the Universe.
Various factions were guessing the Celestial's intentions.
Some believed it was to atone for the previous destruction of the Universe.
Others thought it was creating a device powered by Planets.
"I believe this God is writing the mysteries of the Universe; look, the arrangement of these stars is like some kind of symbol, and if we can decipher them, we can master the ultimate power of the Universe."
This was said by a renowned scientist of the Universe.
And it was endorsed by most of the Universe's powers.
They believed that a God with such immense power would not idly create stars in the Universe.
So the three great empires put aside their affairs and began to decipher the mysteries of these stars.
Whoever could obtain ultimate power would dominate the entire Universe.
——
The Black Death Sword possesses the following powerful abilities:
Enhanced Host Abilities: It can activate the wielder's potential, elevating their abilities to the level of a Skyfather-tier God.
Powerful Cutting and Destruction: It possesses powerful cutting ability, easily cutting through sturdy metals, the hard shells of alien creatures, and almost any other substance. In battle, it can also release dark energy Impact waves to knock back or destroy enemies.
Will Erosion: It can erode the will of the attacked, causing the victim to fall into a mental state of fear and confusion, interfering with enemies possessing powerful psychic abilities, preventing them from concentrating to use their powers.
Power Absorption: It enhances strength through blood; the more people or Gods killed, the stronger the sword becomes, and the wielder's strength will also skyrocket accordingly.
Monster Summoning: It can summon various monsters from the Shadow; monsters are stronger in dark environments.
Bestowal of Self-Healing and Resurrection: It bestows powerful self-healing abilities upon the wielder, such as Gorr the God Butcher, who feared nothing even when Zeus's lightning bolt pierced his heart. Furthermore, after Gorr fully fused with the Black Death Sword, he could be resurrected through it.
In the comics, it once devoured an entire black hole.
