The Void.
Lin Feng and Ti Wan sat opposite each other.
Having received benefits from Lin Feng, Ti Wan began to reveal information about the Messenger.
The information he brought made Lin Feng's expression gradually solemn.
"The one spreading your news is Thanos!"
Ti Wan stated with certainty.
"However, it's not the Thanos of this universe."
"He is more terrifying, more cruel!"
"I saw destruction and death in him."
Ti Wan revealed a hint of interest.
If possible, he would also like to add this otherworldly Thanos to his collection.
Unfortunately, this Thanos was too powerful, and Ti Wan could only dream about it.
He reached out and pressed the previous projector, which brought up an image.
"This is footage from some time ago!"
With that, Ti Wan fell silent and quietly manipulated the display.
In the void of space, countless stars twinkled.
At some unknown time, a colossal portal appeared.
From the portal, a gigantic head slowly emerged.
Only when the head was fully visible did the portal disappear.
After remaining in place for a few seconds, the head abruptly dissipated into the cosmos.
"They teleported to an unknown location in the universe; I couldn't track them."
Ti Wan pressed pause, freezing the image at the moment the head fully appeared.
He manipulated the image, zooming in on the head's mouth.
"Look!"
Lin Feng looked at the enlarged image, rubbed his eyes, and his jaw dropped.
The sight before him astonished him.
Inside the mouth of the colossal head, there were people.
If it were just this, Lin Feng wouldn't be surprised.
But upon closer inspection.
There was actually a throne.
On the throne sat a being about six parts similar to Thanos.
However, he was much older than Thanos, with a gray beard.
He wore golden armor and had the same purple skin as Thanos, but his face bore several ferocious scars.
"Thanos..."
Lin Feng blurted out.
Combining Ti Wan's earlier words, Lin Feng was certain this was Thanos.
Another purple-skinned alien, an elderly version of Thanos from another universe.
The two creatures below the throne made Lin Feng's heart sink.
Metal armor, a skull spewing fire – Lin Feng immediately thought of Ghost Rider.
To the right of the throne, a green monster was chained with a large red chain.
"Hulk..." Lin Feng's voice cracked.
Indeed, it was a Hulk with completely white hair.
He was hunched over, gnawing on a giant bone, lying quietly before the throne.
Like... like a dog.
Lin Feng's expression grew even more somber.
Lin Feng had not seen the attire and appearance of these characters in Marvel movies.
However, he had seen them in the comics...
"He is Thanos from another universe," Ti Wan continued.
"Brutal, bloodthirsty, insane!"
"His universe has already been destroyed by his own hand."
"His power is beyond your imagination!"
"After he devoured his entire universe, he was not satisfied."
"So, he came to this universe! And first, he set his sights on the Infinity Stones."
"That's why I said you cannot guarantee that you won't die!"
Ti Wan rubbed his hands, turned off the screen, and patted his chest.
My god, this Thanos is too ferocious; even looking at him for another moment is mental pollution.
"I estimate that this universe won't last much longer!"
"If you change your mind, I'll gladly take the Infinity Stones!"
"..."
Lin Feng stared at Ti Wan with a peculiar expression.
"Thanos destroys universes, and you won't die? And you're still after the Infinity Stones?"
Ti Wan shrugged. He didn't have much fear of death: "Death cannot stop my collection!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng gave him a thumbs-up. You're impressive...
However, now that he knew about the existence of another Thanos, Lin Feng was even less likely to sell the Infinity Stones.
The image of that Thanos was most likely the comic book version.
Raising the Hulk like a dog was a very distinct sign.
Lin Feng had also figured out what that giant head was.
It should be the head of Ego the Living Planet.
This thing had been transformed into a throne by Thanos.
As Ti Wan said, this Thanos was far more ferocious than the Thanos of this universe.
In the comics, the elder Thanos's obsession with Death was almost pathological.
To win Death's favor, he had slaughtered the entire universe.
In the end, only Ghost Rider and Hulk were left.
The reason Ghost Rider was left was because his ability would make enemies remember their past sins.
But for Thanos, his past massacres and the demise of life had become offerings to Death.
He would review them several times a day.
As for the Hulk, he was truly treated like a dog, confined in the basement for millions of years.
This Thanos was devoid of any humanity.
Cruel, indifferent, bloody.
Under his hand, the entire universe was left with endless emptiness and the fear of death.
Lin Feng's curiosity was piqued.
How did the elder Thanos come to the movie universe?
He also wondered if this Thanos would be any different from the one in the comics.
If Lin Feng's guess was correct, the elder Thanos should also possess the six Infinity Stones.
But Lin Feng couldn't understand.
Why would this elder Thanos target his Infinity Stones?
If his purpose in coming to this universe was to slaughter living beings, he should have acted long ago. Instead, he hid and spread news of his possession of the Infinity Stones.
What was the intention?
Various doubts arose in his mind, and Lin Feng fell into deep thought.
Such a cruel existence, capable of endangering the entire universe, wouldn't anyone step in?
It was fine that The Watcher was inactive.
What about the Living Tribunal? Would the Living Tribunal or the Cosmic Entities not intervene? (AAO is also written as OAA, the ceiling of Marvel's omniverse.)
Lin Feng felt a sense of exhaustion, finding it all very chaotic.
Perhaps, the Cosmic Entities considered it insignificant? After all, they could create worlds with a mere thought.
Truly... they create but do not nurture.
Just as he was pondering, an ominous premonition arose in Lin Feng's heart.
He abruptly looked up.
An extremely powerful energy was sweeping across the entire Marvel universe in the form of a shockwave!
He was familiar with this feeling!
Someone was using the six Infinity Stones to snap their fingers!
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng cursed under his breath. Without time to think, his left gauntlet immediately deactivated its stealth.
Regardless of who snapped their fingers or their purpose, his sixth sense told Lin Feng that he had to stop them!
Almost simultaneously, Lin Feng also snapped his fingers.
Two shockwaves instantly met in the universe, and after colliding, they turned into nothingness...
