When Kytheron returned to his Universe, the entire Universe spontaneously celebrated; it was the Universe's collective consciousness instinctively thanking Kytheron.
It is conceivable that Apokolips, where Kytheron resides, will truly become the center of this Universe, not just its original physical center.
Therefore, all those sheltered by Kytheron on Apokolips will receive immense benefits; at the very least, they will definitely receive the blessing of the Universe's collective consciousness in this Universe.
"Is the crisis over? Have we escaped the fate of destruction?"
"The God-King of Apokolips defeated that Greater Demons; we are saved!"
"May this calamity finally end. This Universe can no longer withstand such devastation!"
"Alas! Our losses are truly too great. The Empire already lost sixty percent of its army in the previous Phoenix War, and later, the very foundation of the Empire was shaken by the collateral damage!"
"Don't worry, we are not the only ones who suffered losses; everyone is in a similar state. Moreover, as long as our core remains intact, it won't be long before the Empire's glory is restored."
A group of leaders from cosmic empires, having survived the catastrophe, had already begun to consider a multi-step post-war strategy to restore their empires' vitality!
Kytheron paid no attention to these people. At this moment, he looked at the Phoenix hosts in the void, each bound by Eternity like a small Sun, and with a wave of his hand, he took control of them all!
If it were a complete Phoenix, Kytheron might not have found them so easy to handle, but they were still fragmented individuals. Kytheron easily sealed them and imprisoned them all in an independent space.
The manifestation of Willpower, which attracted the Phoenix, was an unexpected bonus.
Kytheron's initial intention was merely to make the Phoenix Force within Jean more complete!
He hadn't expected to attract all the Phoenix scattered throughout the Multiverse!
However, he certainly couldn't rashly kill all the Phoenix and leave only Jean as a host; everything had to be done slowly.
Although Jean didn't undergo the path of the Dark Phoenix due to Kytheron's beating of the Phoenix back then, this significantly increased Jean's integration with the Phoenix.
But if he were to cram all the other Phoenix into her body at once, there's no doubt something bad would happen.
So, this matter had to proceed slowly. Anyway, those Phoenix hosts couldn't escape, and perhaps it could even save their lives.
After all, many of them had faces identical to Jean's, even if they were just alternate versions from other Universes.
Having completed all this, Kytheron returned to Apokolips under everyone's gaze.
However, he didn't immediately go to receive the cheers but landed on the very top of his palace.
With a raise of his hand, the surrounding ground trembled, and giant stone pillars rose from the earth. The people who had come to greet Kytheron looked at his actions with some confusion.
"Bobby, what do you think My Lord is trying to do?"
Pyro tugged at his friend's sleeve and asked.
"I don't know! But I think it will definitely be something incredibly great!"
Iceman gently shook his head, but his eyes were filled with fervent admiration.
After repeatedly witnessing Kytheron's power, Iceman Bobby's faith in Kytheron had been etched into his soul. Whatever Kytheron did, he believed it must be great.
The next moment, they understood!
In an instant, a nearly hundred-meter-tall, headless, crimson demon's torso appeared in Kytheron's hand, and a terrifying yet familiar pressure flashed by.
"It's that Demon God!"
John's face was a little pale. When fighting the Dark Phoenix, he already felt those guys were strong, but he didn't expect an even more formidable one to appear before a victor was decided.
If Kytheron hadn't appeared in time, they would all have been annihilated!
Cyttorak's body had naturally been condensed by Kytheron, and the pressure it emitted was sealed; otherwise, Apokolips itself couldn't have withstood it.
Kytheron then pulled out Cyttorak's still-vibrant heart and hung the body on a stone pillar.
"Cyttorak, I only need your heart to study your life code. As for your remains, let them hang on this Pillar of Glory to serve as a banner for my Apokolips!"
"Don't worry, you won't be alone. In the future, each of these pillars will bear your successors."
Kytheron murmured in a low voice.
"That must be a warning. In the future, we must never offend this great God!"
"With that corpse there, anyone who looks at it will tremble, who would still dare to seek trouble with him without fearing death? Haven't you seen how many empty stone pillars there are next to it?"
"I have decided to stay in my own dimension forever and never leave it by a single step, hoping that trouble doesn't come knocking."
After witnessing Kytheron's actions, a group of veteran Multiverse entities were all terrified, losing even the courage to take another look at Cyttorak's corpse!
"Kytheron, that Greater Demons was actually killed by you. We all thought you had merely banished him back to his original dimension."
"You have saved our Universe once again. This time, even the Universe itself is expressing its gratitude to you!"
Thor, however, maintained his familiar demeanor, seemingly unconstrained by the change in status.
"This is just the Universe's collective consciousness's wishful thinking. I didn't fight with the intention of saving the Universe."
Kytheron replied casually.
"Regardless, this Universe was always preserved because of you. You are truly too strong now; I can't even see where the end of our disparity lies."
"I still remember the first time we met. Back then, I even wanted to defeat you and add a collection to my trophy vault."
Thor said, a look of melancholy on his face.
Although his own strength had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to the past, the gap between him and Kytheron was indeed widening.
He used to think about surpassing Kytheron, but now he had completely given up!
In fact, now that Kytheron was the foundational guardian of this Universe, Thor even wanted to completely hand Asgard over to Loki and go on a journey through the Universe himself.
"Thor, when did you become so sentimental? This isn't like you at all."
"Come on, come on! Drink with me; this battle was truly exhilarating!"
Seeing Thor's somewhat resigned appearance, Kytheron clapped him on the back and, laughing heartily, dragged him off to drink!
At this time, all the Mutants, Elves, and Dwarves on Apokolips were gathered in the vast square.
It was another grand feast. Although not much time had passed since the last grand event, reuniting after a cosmic catastrophe now carried a different meaning.
