Odin had completely faded away.
No one except Peter knew what he had actually said.
Only Peter understood what Odin's final concern was.
His daughter, the Goddess of Death Hela, who had once followed him to conquer the Nine Realms and ruled over the underworld of Asgard, was about to be unsealed due to his death.
When that time came, Asgard was bound to face another bloodbath.
Odin's dying wish was for Peter to help Thor resolve this crisis, allowing Asgard to survive rather than be completely destroyed in Ragnarok.
Thinking of this, Peter couldn't help but take a deep breath, silently murmuring in his heart:
"Rest assured, old man, I'll take care of this."
Almost the instant this thought crossed Peter's mind, a gust of sea breeze blew by quite abruptly.
It made Peter wonder if this was Odin responding to his promise.
Thinking of this, Peter walked forward and gently patted the shoulder of the distraught Thor:
"I am very sorry about Odin; if only I could have returned sooner..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Thor took a deep breath and forced a smile in response:
"No, this is not your fault."
"My Asgard already owed Earth far too much."
"My father's death has nothing to do with you; on the contrary, it was you who destroyed that bastard Mephisto and helped me avenge my father."
Looking at the dejected Thor, Peter thought for a moment and said:
"In fact, Mephisto is not dead, or rather, he still has the possibility of rebirth."
Hearing this, Thor suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with the light of hatred:
"Is what you said true? If that guy still has a chance to be reborn, next time, I will definitely finish that bastard completely. Only then can I comfort the soul of the All-Father!"
"Of course it's true. Don't worry, I will find a way to help you locate the hell dimension he is in next!"
"The day we lock onto that dimension will be the time for your revenge."
Peter comforted Thor with these words, but silently added in his heart:
"Of course, we might need to bring your sister along for that operation."
After all, Mephisto was not a God by nature, so the god-beating whip's divine-type special attack would not be effective against him.
On the contrary, Hela, the Goddess of Death, possessed the same authority as Mephisto and could directly strip the ownership of that hell dimension through her status as a lord of the underworld, thereby completely erasing Mephisto's existence.
...
After briefly discussing Mephisto with Thor, Thor did not choose to stay on Earth for long.
Earth needed to celebrate, while he needed to return to Asgard to complete Odin's funeral and formally succeed as the new King of Gods.
Watching Thor, Frigga, and Loki depart, Peter turned back, looked at the Avengers behind him, and looked at the seven billion viewers around the world, saying:
"Now, I officially declare that the war is over!"
The moment his voice fell, there was a deathly silence across the globe.
Then, Earth-shattering cheers erupted one after another.
The cheers of seven billion people converged at this moment, turning into a roar that could overturn the Earth.
A four or five-year-old child in Brooklyn was riding on his father's shoulders, waving his small fists excitedly and shouting loudly:
"The Arbiter is mighty!"
On the streets, excited young people had wantonly rushed out of their homes, and whether they knew each other or not, as long as they made eye contact, they began to hug, jump, cheer, and sing wantonly.
Young couples were kissing passionately as if no one else was around, and a joyful atmosphere prevailed everywhere in the country.
After announcing the victory of the war, Peter did not rush to celebrate with his partners from the Avengers.
Instead, he looked down at the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand.
Almost the moment his gaze focused on the Infinity Gauntlet, a long-lost system notification sounded in his ears:
[Detected Golden Legendary sacrificable item: Infinity Gauntlet]
[Sacrifice to obtain sacrifice points: 100,000, do you wish to sacrifice?]
[Detected Golden Legendary sacrificable item: Reality Stone]
[Sacrifice to obtain sacrifice points: 200,000, do you wish to sacrifice?]
[Detected Golden Legendary sacrificable item: Mind Stone]
[Sacrifice to obtain sacrifice points: 200,000, do you wish to sacrifice?]
[Detected Golden Legendary sacrificable item: Soul Stone]
[Sacrifice to obtain sacrifice points: 200,000, do you wish to sacrifice?]
Three stones plus the Infinity Gauntlet, a total price of 700,000 sacrifice points, which was quite reasonable for Peter.
Considering that whoever obtained these stones could easily cause a new crisis, Peter did not hesitate and decisively chose to sacrifice them.
Looking at the balance of sacrifice points in his system account which had even exceeded one million, Peter couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
Immediately, he cast his gaze on the all-black the necrosword stuck in the ground not far away.
Seemingly noticing Peter's gaze, the black energy squirming on the all-black the necrosword couldn't help but tremble.
It was called black energy, but in fact, this energy, or rather the entire all-black the necrosword, was essentially a large ancestor Symbiote.
Peter's original intention was to directly sacrifice the all-black the necrosword.
But the moment his fingers touched the all-black the necrosword, the Omnitrix on his wrist activated spontaneously, automatically switching Peter's body into Symbiote mode.
The moment he transformed into Symbiote mode, a strange thought emerged in Peter's mind:
Eat it!
Because Peter had copied the Symbiote's genes using the Omnitrix, he was already the strongest existence among the Symbiote race.
If he could swallow the all-black the necrosword whole now, his life level would directly leap.
After all, the all-black the necrosword itself was an ancestor Symbiote reinforced with the blood flames of a God.
If he swallowed it, it would be equivalent to Peter himself being reinforced by the blood of a God.
In this way, Peter's physical fitness would definitely be further strengthened, even to the point of being exaggerated enough to rival the strength of a God without any energy amplification!
Moreover, he would automatically become the new King in Black, gaining the ability to lead all Symbiotes and stand on equal footing with Knull.
In addition, the "God-slayer" characteristic inherent in the all-black the necrosword would also be inherited by Peter, meaning he would be able to obtain a special attack state similar to the god-beating whip.
Adding that to the god-beating whip would mean a dual special attack!
This effect was much better than exchanging it for sacrifice points and waiting for the ethereal merchandise refresh!
So Peter did not hesitate and, under the shocked gazes of Tony and the Ancient One not far away, performed a sword-swallowing act.
The body in Symbiote mode opened a hideous and terrifying mouth and swallowed the entire all-black the necrosword in one gulp...
