Chapter 404 The Tool Devouring God Group

Chapter 404 The Tool Devouring God Group (First Update!)

"Not a savior."

"Or are they accomplices?"

Thanos's sudden remark jolted Hawke, who had been sitting calmly to the side, into a start, and his expression turned unusually serious.

"What do you mean?"

"Time... no, all of this was designed by the Celestials."

Thanos turned to meet Hawke's sharp eyes: "Whether it's the Eternals or the Deviants, they were all created by the Celestials. At first, I just thought that Titan had Celestial Seeds and that the Celestials were just making use of what they had. But after seeing you, I suddenly realized that this was all designed by the Celestials, whether it was the ancestors of the Titans or my rebellion."

Hawke remained expressionless.

"Elaborate."

"Because you were also targeted by the Celestials."

"..."

Upon hearing Thanos's words, Hawke's eyebrows twitched as his thoughts raced. He then frowned slightly: "The Celestials plotted against me? How did they plot against me? Did they plot against me to slaughter every life-bearing planet in the universe that they had planted their seeds on?"

That's a lame joke.

but!
Thanos's expression, however, was extremely serious.

"Yes, it's a plan to make you wipe out all the life-bearing planets they've planted in the universe."

"..."

Hawke listened to these words and looked at Thanos's expression, then fell silent.

next second.

Thanos is known for his outrageous statements: "Time in this universe is dead, or rather, it has been replaced by the Celestials."

Upon hearing this, Hawke snapped back to reality and looked at Thanos.

Thanos met Hawk's gaze and said only one sentence.

"The eternity of time created only three gods."

"……hiss!"

Hawke was silent for a moment, then he understood the implication behind Thanos's words.

Just as Thanos said.

The eternal nature of time created only three gods to manage the order of time on its behalf.

Arithm, who was in charge of the trial.

The eradicators responsible for carrying out the eradication.

The searcher responsible for the search.

Let's say that.

Time has no self-awareness, nor should it have self-awareness; time without self-awareness is good time.

But eternity has a self, so in order to avoid the self interfering with the instinct of time, three other gods, who also have no self-awareness, were created to look after and manage the order of time.

Hawke didn't think about it carefully at first.

But after Thanos said that, he couldn't help but think about it carefully and realized that something was wrong.

What is the definition of self-awareness in life?

Propagate!

Are the members of the Celestials life forms? Theoretically, yes, but in reality, they are tools created by the eternal creation of time.

Tools should not have consciousness, but if a creator suddenly discovers that the tool they created has become conscious, what should their first reaction be?
Happy?

nonexistent.

Destruction is the creator's first reaction.

Just like humans' pursuit of intelligent robots, no matter how eloquently they talk about them, if robots were to truly awaken self-awareness, humanity's first reaction would be to destroy them.

Human beings are like that.

The Celestials were the same; the Abnormal Ones were the tools they created at the very beginning. But when the Abnormal Ones suddenly developed self-awareness, didn't the Celestials immediately create the Eternals to destroy them?
The same is true!

The eternity of time should also be like this.

The Celestials, who shouldn't have had self-awareness, should have been destroyed by the Eternity of Time after gaining consciousness, rather than sitting idly by while the Celestials used various life-bearing planets to nurture new Celestials.

and so……

"eternal……"

"Exiled."

Thanos made another startling statement, looking at Hawke: "Not only eternity, but even death is no longer in this universe."

Hawke's pupils contracted: "This is impossible, Morpheus..."

He was just about to say that Mephisto had seen death, since when Mephisto was still alive, he couldn't stop talking about eternity and death.

but!
Hawke suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but chuckle, and then shook his head.

Well known.

Demons are the biggest liars, and Mephisto, as the ruler of demons, is even more untrustworthy; not even the punctuation marks in his words can be believed.

Whether it's eternity or time, Hawke just thought about it, and realized that these two creator gods have only ever existed in Mephisto's words.

Thanos looked at Hawke's sudden smile and smiled back, his voice low.

"This universe, except for three places, has already submitted to the Celestials. Jehovah and Mephisto are both members of the Celestials."

"hiss!"

Hawke gasped again as he listened to the secret Thanos revealed, and looked at Thanos.

"Those three places?"

"Olympus."

"Zeus has completely transcended the timeline in his own universe, thus achieving unity of the multiverse. Even the gods who are trying to replace time cannot touch Zeus. Zeus has no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the universe, and he indulges in pleasure, so he does not leave the Indigel star system."

"The second and third are the World Tree and the planet Terra."

"The Celestials had originally planned the fall of the World Tree and the planet Terra through time, but the planet Terra was mainly used to trigger Ragnarok, the world tree's twilight."

"But a variable emerged during this process." "Me."

Hawke picked up where Thanos left off, then looked at Thanos with a glint in his eyes: "But compared to what has already happened, I'm more curious about how you knew. Did you just find out all of a sudden?"

Thanos shook his head.

"It was when Gris appeared before you, the moment I saw you."

"Gris?"

Hawke raised an eyebrow: "That god I crippled?"

Thanos's comb-like chin relaxed slightly: "He is the Celestial in charge of this universe. Your appearance made him feel the crisis. You are independent of the time of this universe, so if he wants to deal with you, he can only temporarily leave the time of the universe. It is precisely because of this that I was able to discover the truth that time is dead, eternity and death have been banished, and the Celestials are trying to replace the time of this universe."

Hawke fell silent once again.

Without him.

The amount of information is too large.

Even he needed to take some time to fully process the information Thanos had shared.

For example, time is dead.

For example, eternity and death were banished.

For example, time in this universe has always been replaced by the Celestials.

However, compared to these secrets...

Hawke cares more about what always comes first in his heart.

“My wife, Gwen, she…”

"Gris!"

"hiss!"

Hawke gasped again, his expression turning grimer than ever before: "So, I've let the tiger return to the mountain?"

He was referring to the fact that he didn't kill Griss at the time, but instead let Griss go.

but……

Thanos shook his head, then stretched out his left hand and pointed to the five-armed celestial being lying not far away: "This is Griss."

Hawke looked in the direction Thanos was pointing and his gaze fell on the five tubes on the corpse of the Celestial.

"When Gris first appeared in front of you, he was playing the six of bamboo, which was his peak condition."

"You can't kill him."

"Because he has already partially replaced this universe, even if you really wanted to kill him back then, he would have escaped from you."

"However, he probably didn't expect that you were torturing him, severing both of his arms, causing him to lose a large amount of his essence."

"Moreover, he did not expect that after he temporarily left this universe, I would take the opportunity to learn the truth about him and no longer be his accomplice."

"He even saw me trying to tell you the truth in time, so he rushed over immediately to try to kill me and shut me up."

"But he forgot that I had already obtained the Power Stone and the Space Stone."

Thanos spoke in this way, then pointed his left hand at a certain location in the distance once again.

Hawke followed Thanos's finger again, and then his sharp eyes spotted an object pressing down under the mountain-like corpse of the Celestial. With a wave of his right hand, the object disappeared and then floated in front of Hawke.

The Infinity Gauntlet.

The Infinity Gauntlet, inlaid with the Power Stone and the Space Stone.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that there is already a hand inside this Infinity Gauntlet.

Hawke raised an eyebrow and looked at Thanos, who had been sitting on the ground with his right arm resting on his clothes since he arrived.

Thanos grinned and pulled out his right hand.

into the eye.

His right hand was severed at the forearm; the missing forearm and hand were naturally inside the Infinity Gauntlet floating in front of Hawke.

The moment Thanos removed his right arm, the wound that had been suppressed could no longer be contained and began to drip golden blood onto the ground uncontrollably.

obviously.

Thanos is dying.

However, Hawke already knew this when he saw Thanos, which is why he dared to sit next to Thanos.

He wasn't afraid of Thanos at his peak, let alone Thanos on the verge of death.

Hawke glanced at the blood flowing down into the riverbed below.

"Is the inhabited planet where the Destroyer God Seed resides what he wanted to see?"

"Yes."

Seemingly sensing that his life was about to end, Thanos's voice became urgent.

"Gris wants to completely take over this universe."

"But the universe is made up of space, time, and life."

He must occupy all three.

"He has now taken over space and time, but he has no control over life, because death has left this universe, and he was not created by death."
