As the surviving God was about to open a spatial passage to leave, Kytheron suddenly said, "Wait, you might not be able to leave just yet! Because I need to confirm something before deciding whether to let you leave alive."
At this moment, Kytheron looked at his Ragnarok treasure chest quest, which was still a bit short of reaching one hundred percent. He wasn't sure if the remaining progress was on Gorr or on the God in front of him.
After all, when Gorr appeared, the system showed a significant increase in quest progress, and killing this group of Celestials also advanced the quest progress quite a bit.
Now, the remaining bit of the progress bar depends on whether it falls on Gorr or the God in front of him!
However! If their luck isn't good, then he can only send them to meet Death with tears in his eyes; at least they'll have company on the way!
"What? You're going too far. I am a Cosmic God just like you. How can you insult me like this?"
Upon hearing this, the God immediately felt a great sense of humiliation.
"Hmm! I heard you! But you mass-produced tools are not worthy of being ranked with me. You need to understand one fact: your life and Death are now in my hands. I let you live, and you live; I let you die, and you absolutely cannot leave the Nine Realms. Do you understand?"
Seeing that the God in front of him had no awareness of being a captive, Kytheron decided to directly clarify his current situation to him.
"You..."
This God was rendered speechless by Kytheron's words!
After all, he wasn't a robot, and having run rampant in the Universe for billions of years, he certainly didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the other nine Gods.
Moreover, even if he had to die, he should die with some dignity!
Being chewed up and devoured alive—this kind of Death was truly unfitting for a God.
"What do you need to confirm? Speak quickly!"
The helpless God could only cooperate with Kytheron to complete what he needed to confirm.
"What's the rush? Say one more word, and I'll eat you immediately!"
Hearing the God's urging, Kytheron impatiently glared at him with his scarlet demonic eyes, which were larger than the God's entire body.
Instantly, the God, feeling the threat of Death, obediently stopped making any sound.
Kytheron, meanwhile, suddenly extended his claw and grabbed at the void ahead, piercing through the dimensional barrier.
"Phew! Kytheron, are there any hidden enemies still present?"
At this moment, Thor dispersed his massive lightning form, took a breath, and asked Kytheron.
Maintaining that powerful lightning avatar was very taxing on his divine power; he had only just crossed the threshold of a Cosmic God and couldn't fully control the power he now possessed.
"Not really, I'm just looking for a guy who ran away."
At this moment, Kytheron's claw, carrying boundless power, crossed the endless void and dispelled the eternal, unchanging Shadow.
"Looking for whom?"
Thor didn't understand who could be worth Kytheron's attention.
"Found him!"
Just then, Kytheron grinned ferociously and quickly retracted his claw.
Then, Thor and the others saw a barren dead Planet being forcibly dragged out of the endless Shadow World by Kytheron!
This Planet was Gorr's base in the Shadow World. After escaping earlier, once he was out of a certain range, he immediately reconnected to the Shadow World. Returning to his lair, he collapsed onto a giant rock, drenched in cold sweat.
"Is that what a true God is?"
"Then what were those guys I killed all these years?"
After witnessing the unparalleled oppressive power of the ten Gods, Gorr suddenly felt that he had perhaps thought too simply of the existence of Gods all these years!
There were Gods in this Universe even more powerful than the ones he had killed.
"One day, I will use you to cut off their heads. You will help me, won't you!"
Gorr cradled the Black Death Sword in his hands, caressing the blade as if it were a beloved.
Hearing Gorr's words, the Black Death Sword's blade boiled like liquid.
At this moment, the Black Death Sword transmitted the scene of Knull wielding it to slay a God into Gorr's mind, but the later scene of Gorr being beaten by the Celestials was not transmitted to him.
"Is this your original Master? So powerful! In the future, I will also become an existence like him!"
"This Universe doesn't need those Gods who destroy everything at the slightest provocation. One day, we will kill all of them."
Gorr was now filled with fervor, wishing he could immediately slay a few Gods to prove his grand ambition.
However, just as Gorr was hypnotizing himself, a giant black claw, capable of plucking stars and moons, broke through the limitations of space and dimension and descended upon his head.
Then, without any power to resist, Gorr was snatched from the Shadow Kingdom by Kytheron!
Facing Kytheron, who could easily devour Gods, Gorr trembled all over. Although he desperately wanted to raise his sword and resist, his body completely refused to obey his brain's commands.
What made him even more despairing was that the Black Death Sword, which had been as excited as him just moments ago, now cowered like a mouse encountering a cat, equally terrified.
That was because the Black Death Sword sensed the lingering soul aura of Knull from Kytheron.
Instantly, everything became clear!
Its Master, the former God of Darkness, who forged the Black Death Sword and created the Symbiotes, the Loki Knull, had died at the hands of the Black Dragon before him.
Facing Knull, both the Symbiote and the Black Death Sword had an instinctive fear.
And facing a powerful existence capable of killing Knull, it had no reason not to be afraid.
Looking at Gorr, who was as small as a speck of dust, Kytheron felt sympathy for his plight, but when it came to completing the treasure chest quest, a mere Gorr was not worth mentioning.
"Alright, now I'll give you time to say your last words, otherwise you'll never have another chance to speak!"
Kytheron, being quite benevolent, gave Gorr a chance to utter his final words.
Hearing this, a surge of unwillingness welled up in Gorr's heart. Veins bulged on his pale face. He hadn't yet eliminated all the Gods in the Universe, and now he was going to die here.
"Since you're not speaking, I'll assume you have no last words!"
As Kytheron gently exerted force, the dark asteroid was directly annihilated by Kytheron.
Only a black sword lay in the void.
"Master, can you give me that sword?"
Suddenly, Venom, who had been engrossed in deciphering Kytheron's genes, mentally communicated with Kytheron.
"Why, is that sword useful to you?"
Kytheron asked curiously.
"Master, the Black Death Sword is the key to opening the Living Abyss in another dimension. Knull originally created our Symbiote race by relying on the Living Abyss."
"Knull placed the entrance to the Living Abyss within his own body, and only by holding the Black Death Sword can the dimensional entrance be opened."
Hearing Venom's explanation, Kytheron immediately became interested in the Living Abyss and planned to take Venom to his old home sometime to see what the Living Abyss was like.
However, Kytheron's attention was immediately drawn entirely to the system panel!
Because with the demise of Knull, the quest progress for Ragnarok had reached one hundred percent, which meant that this God was lucky enough to keep his life.
Although Kytheron could choose to kill him, he considered it a favor to Eternity, after all, everything now was within Eternity's body, because he was the entire Multiverse.
