Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Peter felt his heart beating a little fast.

The idea of ​​refining a celestial being was so insane that even he himself found it a bit outrageous.

But despite how outrageous it seemed, Peter couldn't help but feel increasingly tempted—it was just too feasible.

First, Tiamt's remains are essentially identical to the Tree of Gods.

Peter absorbed his source power with the Black Death Sword, which was essentially equivalent to eating the Chakra Fruit.

This established a connection between the Black Death Sword and the body itself.

In addition, he had completely absorbed the genetic sequence of the Celestials through the Little Broken Watch, which gave him the ability to transform into a Celestial.

Finally, he also has the Rinnegan to assist him.

All the essentials are included!

"Go for it! Tiamt's already a corpse anyway, so even if the refining fails, it won't affect me much!"

With this thought in mind, Peter steeled his resolve, and the concentric circles of the Rinnegan immediately appeared in his eyes.

The Black Death Sword, the Rinnegan, and the Little Broken Watch were all synchronized under Peter's control.

The three energies were injected into Tiamt's remains like three keys inserted into a lock.

The power of the Rinnegan combined with the energy of the Black Death Sword, transforming into several jet-black chains that extended from Peter's palms and wrapped around every inch of Tiamt's remains.

The golden flesh showed signs of decay the moment it was touched by the chains, and its originally golden body was visibly stained purplish-black.

The process went much more smoothly than Peter had anticipated.

Tiamt was, after all, just a skeleton, with no independent consciousness whatsoever. He could only be gradually "contaminated" by Peter until he was completely black!

Under the bewildered gazes of Cersei and the others, about ten more minutes passed.

Tiamt's entire body turned from gold to black!

As Peter's thoughts stirred, a series of booming sounds came from the sea.

A colossal, pitch-black creature burst forth from the sea.

This sudden movement startled Cersei and the others, who all assumed a defensive posture.

But then they saw something that made their jaws drop!

Then, the god, whose body was completely dyed black, slowly prostrated himself and knelt down before Peter!

That's not even the most amazing part!

Even more astonishingly, as he made this movement, the black chains binding him tightened simultaneously.

The tightening chains pulled Tiamt's remains toward Peter's body, which rippled outwards as if turning into a black hole.

It actually swallowed Tiamt whole, bit by bit!

The moment Tiamt was completely devoured by Peter, a pitch-black "cocoon" appeared before everyone.

Upon seeing the black cocoon, the Eternal Clan fell silent.

"He...he ate Tiamt?" Spike's voice trembled, his throat still adjusting to adulthood.

"It should be called a fusion." Fastos pushed up his glasses, his face turning pale.

"To have a celestial being merged into one's own body—my God, what terrifying power that is! I can't even calculate the impact this will have on his life structure..."

The answer was quickly revealed to everyone.

The black cocoon burst open very quickly!

A pair of hands reached out and tore the black cocoon to shreds!

Peter emerged from it, but he had changed drastically.

Dark energy surged from the surface of his skin, quickly condensing into a thick, armor-like layer of tissue, the overall outline of which resembled a miniature humanoid deity.

The surface is covered with star patterns that are exactly the same as those on Tiamt, but the pattern is closer to the dark red patterns on the Black Death Sword, with gold, red and black colors interwoven.

Between the patterns, faint ashes resembling flames could be seen constantly spreading out.

How to describe the feeling it gives is that it's like a combination of the Celestials from the manga, the Quinque armor made by the investigators in the anime "Tokyo Ghoul" using Kirishima Shin's kagune, and the Western-style armor on the cover of "Dark Souls 3".

Covered in this eerie armor, Peter's height increased from 1.8 meters to about 2.3 meters, and he looked silent and powerful.

"This feeling..." Peter murmured softly, his voice carrying a deep resonance through the helmet, "Interesting!"

He tried to activate the "God Mode" power within his body.

A surge of immense energy flowed from his spine to his limbs and bones, and he felt his senses expand to an unbelievable extent in an instant:

Not just Earth, but the energy pulses of every planet in the entire solar system were clearly discernible in his consciousness. Even the storm trails of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the residual magnetic field fluctuations beneath the surface of Mars, and even the faint heat energy deep within Pluto's ice layer were as detailed as the lines on his palm.

"Wow, that's an amazing sensory ability!"

As Peter was pondering this, preparing to try other approaches, a sharp, startled cry suddenly rang out beside him:

"Peter! Look up at the sky!"

The speaker was none other than Cersei.

She was pointing at the sky, her face filled with terror.

Peter followed her gaze, and his face beneath the helmet subtly raised an eyebrow.

A gigantic figure could be vaguely seen emerging from the clouds.

The figure's outline was similar to Tiamt's but much larger, and its head was also shaped like the multi-faceted structure of the "six of bamboo" tile in mahjong.

His six crimson eyes, like six burning stars, were set on his face, coldly watching Peter below.

Almost the instant Peter saw this behemoth, the name of this giant came to mind—"The Judge" Aristom!

Even among the high-ranking beings in the Celestials, they are terrifying beings responsible for judging and deciding whether a planet should continue to exist.

The reason why this guy has come here on his own initiative is crystal clear.

Although Cersei and the others' act of sealing Tiamt in the original work went against the will of the Celestials, Aristem ultimately chose to give it a "probation."

After awakening, he first summoned Cecily and the others back, and by reading the memories in their minds, he judged whether humanity had undergone positive evolution, and whether this evolution was sufficient to save them from their fate of destruction.

But now the situation has completely changed.

Peter did more than just seal away Tiamt.

He not only killed Tiamt, but also completely absorbed and refined the god's primordial power and remains into his own power.

In the eyes of the Celestials, this behavior was essentially like a thief who, after killing the indigenous people of their community, attempted to use their identity as indigenous people to become their sworn brothers.

This behavior undoubtedly crossed the line for Arithm, the judge.

If Peter is not brought to justice, how will their Celestials group maintain its standing in the universe?
