"Thanos? The method to eliminate the Great Old Ones is related to Thanos?" Ryan heard this with some surprise, but not so much surprise.
Because he hadn't seen Thanos in this Universe before, he had already guessed that Thanos was definitely not simple in this Universe.
It's just that his guess was that Thanos might be the final boss guarding the last level.
But unexpectedly, Thanos was actually the key 'prop' to defeat the final level boss!
Wanda nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's Thanos. According to my long-term investigation, the missing Thanos was actually imprisoned by the 'Many-Angled Ones', the Great Old Ones who invaded this Universe!"
"And Thanos, just like me, is also an existence not corrupted by the Great Old Ones, and should be in a better state than me. Not only is his soul not distorted, but even his physical body is not corrupted!"
"It's as if... the Great Old Ones dare not corrupt Thanos, nor do they dare to let the real him die, and deliberately protect Thanos by means of imprisonment!"
"That's why I guessed that Thanos is the key to breaking the situation, but these are all my guesses. I can't see Thanos imprisoned by the Many-Angled Ones, so I can't be sure that Thanos definitely has a way to kill the Many-Angled Ones..."
Speaking of this, Wanda felt a little embarrassed: "Thanos is already the only possibility I can find, but the information is actually not completely accurate, sorry..."
"It's fine, you've already done very well by taking this step." Ryan smiled slightly, not blaming her, but stroked Wanda's hair again.
Wanda, who hadn't seen a normal person for a long time, enjoyed Ryan's warm palm very much, and rubbed against Ryan's palm with her head like a kitten.
Ryan didn't care either. Instead, he took off the Destroyer armor on his hand and placed his palm on Wanda's side face, allowing her to feel it more closely.
Wanda didn't care about the distinction between men and women either. With both hands, she held the large hand Ryan placed on her side face, greedily feeling the warmth brought by Ryan's palm:
"Human warmth..."
Alas...
Seeing this, Ryan sighed inwardly.
He had only come to this distorted Universe for a day, and he had already been disgusted several times.
He dared not imagine how strong a vengeful will Wanda must have had to not go crazy alone in this distorted World...
Ryan didn't speak, and neither did Wanda.
The two stayed quietly in the deep Universe for half an hour before Wanda's face reluctantly left Ryan's warm palm.
There was no longer that disguised indifference on Wanda's face, which was now full of exhaustion. Her smile was also very forced, but it was very real:
"Mar-Vell thinks I don't know, but in fact, I secretly left my Chaos Magic marks everywhere. The location of the galactus engine and the location of Ego's Planet where the Many-Angled Ones are, I know all of them..."
"Ryan, I am really too tired. The fate of this Universe is entrusted to you. I think I can finally have a good sleep now..."
Wanda leaned against Ryan's chest and closed her eyes. Wisps of crimson Chaos Magic floated out from her body and entered Ryan's body.
Ryan did not resist this external force, but accepted it.
Because this power did not carry the slightest malice, it was just the last information left by Wanda.
The coordinates of Galactus and the Many-Angled Ones in this Universe...
After conveying the information to Ryan, Wanda appeared even weaker, and the thin layer of Chaos Magic on her soul almost disappeared.
With her last conscious awareness, she raised Ryan's hand and placed it on the position of her heart, whispering softly:
"Ryan, before my soul is distorted, kill me, end it, survive..."
Relief, peace of mind, liberation.
These were all the emotions Ryan saw from Wanda.
...
Ryan didn't answer, but the colorful light on his palm silently lit up.
Infinite Power penetrated Wanda's body, began to decompose her already corrupted flesh and blood, turning her into little red light spots floating away in his arms, merging with the cosmic starry sky into a dazzling painting...
"Thank you..."
After Wanda's face on his chest was also decomposed, a voice echoed in Ryan's ears.
Cancerverse Wanda was dead...
But...
Ryan looked down at the sleeping crimson figurine wrapped in orange light on his right palm, a smile appearing on his face:
"Sleep, when you wake up from your nap, you will arrive at a normal Universe and start a new life..."
After saying that, Ryan put Wanda's unpolluted soul into the Soul Stone for safekeeping.
Cancerverse Wanda's physical body was too deeply polluted and could no longer be saved.
But her soul still had the possibility of being saved.
Therefore, Ryan used the power of the Soul Stone to strip Wanda's soul from her body, waiting to 'resurrect' her later.
But not now...
Believing that this Wanda wouldn't want to be resurrected in this distorted Universe again, she had stayed in this distorted Universe long enough.
"Next, leave it to me."
At this moment, the incident in the Cancerverse changed from Loki's single-person commission to a two-person commission.
He not only had to complete the task entrusted by Loki to eliminate Galactus and the Cancerverse powerhouses, but also complete Wanda's task of completely ending this distorted Universe!
And the price Wanda paid had already been decided by Ryan for her spontaneously.
That was Wanda herself.
When he returned to his own Universe, he would resurrect Wanda, and his Universe would welcome the third Scarlet Witch, and the number of Scarlet Witches under his command would reach a full four!
This was the price Wanda would pay to become his person.
However... why does it feel like the number of Wandas he collected is even more than Gwen's...
Gwen only has three, and Wanda already has four...
And they are two normal Wandas and two abnormal Wandas...
Could it be that deep down he also has a special collection habit for Wanda?
Ryan shook his head: "Forget it, matters have come to this, let's deal with the serious business first!"
Thinking of this, Ryan's mind moved, bringing up the two coordinates Wanda left him.
The locations where Galactus and the Many-Angled Ones were respectively located.
"Which one to go to first?"
Ryan's gaze moved back and forth between the two coordinates.
Finally, his gaze locked onto the coordinate location of Galactus.
"It's decided to be you, Galactus!"
After all, if Galactus was allowed to keep growing, it would truly reach the Multiversal level, break open the Universe barrier, and allow the Cancerverse event to spread to the entire Multiverse.
As for the Many-Angled Ones, although they were the source of all disasters, in terms of emergency, Galactus was actually a cut above!
"Galactus, the first of the Five Cosmic Beings I've seen, it's really something to look forward to!"
Thinking that he was about to see the legendary invincible Galactus, Ryan's heart also faintly anticipated it.
Although this Galactus was only a cosmic avatar of the true Galactus, it was enough to make Ryan feel excited.
His left hand made a knife-hand strike and slashed upwards violently, and the space in front of him was immediately torn open by Ryan's hand-knife into a pitch-black spatial rift.
Ryan stepped in and came to another location in this Universe.
Black!
Pure black!
This was Ryan's first impression after stepping through the spatial rift and coming here.
Unlike the Land of Nihility area where he had just been, where dotted stars could still be seen around.
There wasn't even a single star here, leaving only a piece of pure dark deep space.
It can be said that even in Dormammu's Dark Dimension, Ryan had never experienced such a pure dark environment.
In the Dark Dimension, one could still see some Planets swallowed by Dormammu, as well as deep purple dimensional energy residues!
And here, the only color and existence was just one: the lifeless gray-purple behemoth floating in the pitch-black deep space!
The modded Galactus, the galactus engine!
