Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 218: Death and Thanos

But as the embodiment of the rules themselves, she cannot act directly like the tangible planet devourers, so Death needs someone to perform her duties on her behalf.

Thus, in reality, Death has many representatives.

For example, Death once said, "Once I choose a being as my instrument in the mortal world, their path is sealed, and I select many children." (?)

It is uncertain whether Thanos was persuaded by Death to become her representative.

However, it seems highly likely at present.

If Thanos were still in this universe, there would be no way he could escape Bi Xiao's search, but Bi Xiao simply cannot find him.

Thanos, with all his so-called wisdom and knowledge, could not achieve this.

Therefore, Bi Xiao suspects that Thanos may have long been in contact with Death, and the mark of Death grants him certain abilities, allowing him to evade Bi Xiao's pursuit.

So, Thanos's massacre of half the universe's life is not just for the sake of the universe as he claims.

He simply wants to please Death through slaughter.

What a devoted admirer.

Bi Xiao expresses deep disdain for this, but no matter how outstanding this admirer is, wasn't he still robbed by Deadpool?

But for now, Deadpool is just a mercenary who hasn't yet discovered he has cancer.

He hasn't yet drawn Death's attention by hovering on the brink of death due to experimental treatments.

Putting aside these peculiar thoughts, since this possibility exists, Bi Xiao is somewhat wary of Thanos, or more precisely, wary of the Death behind him. However, wary as he is, he is not terribly afraid.

If Thanos were to be killed, Death could not personally come to kill Bi Xiao.

Because that is the rule, at most, Death would support a new proxy to trouble him.

Or Bi Xiao might die due to some event and enter Death's domain, where he could be manipulated by her. That might not be good, but there's nothing else to worry about.

He did not express these thoughts to Loki and the others. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Loki, "What do you think?"

Loki gave a wicked smile, "Since he wants to cooperate, I will certainly cooperate well with him. I want to see what he really intends to do. He will pay for his foolish ideas."

Bi Xiao did not respond much.

"Then go ahead and play."

Just like Odin's viewpoint, little Thanos, a purple runt of a sub-Celestial, is not worth his attention, let alone action. His previous search was merely to see if Thanos had any ties with Death or to find and kill him early.

Now that he couldn't find the person, he wouldn't bother anymore.

To say the least, the people here, except for Sif and the Warriors Three, each possess the strength of a sub-Celestial or even the ability to kill one. This lineup alone would give Thanos a headache.

If worse comes to worst, he can always step in.

"I want to join in."

"Me too."

Bella, Wanda, and Pietro expressed their thoughts one after another. Whoever targets Bi Xiao would have to be dealt with by the three of them.

Moreover, they could take this chance to travel the universe.

Bi Xiao agreed, thinking that the children had grown up and should venture out.

"Yo-ho, I want to see what is special about that guy." Pietro excitedly shouted, clearly pumped up.

Thor felt the same.

The Hulk, a bystander in all this, seeing his companions' excitement, was somewhat puzzled but still joined in, roaring his willingness to give Thanos a beating.

Seeing this, Loki smiled wickedly again.

Hehe, Thanos, if you set your sights on Asgard, you will pay the price. Loki has already begun to devise a series of plans to target Thanos, to make him fall into despair at the peak of his pride.

He does not believe that Thanos can survive against such a powerful lineup.

As for one-on-one fights, there's no such thing. Asgard always aims to eliminate the enemy in the simplest way possible, and clearly, a group assault is the best and simplest way.

Sweeping his eyes over the crowd, Bi Xiao leisurely sipped his tea and looked at the distant lake and flying birds, silently mourning for Thanos.

He then began to contemplate whether, since Wanda and the others had found their targets, he should also look for his next prey.

After some thought, Bi Xiao decided against it. Although he had been asleep for two years, his prominence in the multiverse was still significant. The prey he seeks are no longer at the Celestial level, but individual universes, and rashly challenging big bosses could have considerable repercussions.

It would be better to temporarily focus on old friends.

Before that, he could rest for a while and fully digest some of his previous gains. Whether it’s the Golden City or some of his own supplementary skills, they all need upgrading.

These are his foundation for standing firm.

Moreover, Bi Xiao was also considering recruiting and training some people; he couldn't have Wanda and the others handle everything.

...

Thinking about it, he remembered someone.

That girl should be doing well and should have grown up.

Besides, there are still many talented people on Earth who can be considered for training.

A day quickly passed.

Wanda, Bella, and Pietro had already left Fairyland in high spirits, following Thor and the others to Asgard.

Bi Xiao's side was simple; he studied the Bifrost.

He planned to build a Bifrost in Fairyland, but more fitting to Fairyland’s aesthetic.

It would be called a teleportation array.

The Bifrost is a divine artifact, created by the dwarves using rare materials like Uru and runic inscriptions. Besides transporting large armies, it is also a formidable weapon.

At full power, it can easily destroy a world.

The teleportation array he intended to build would have similar functions.

Only its capabilities might be even greater. The Bifrost's range is not extensive, limited to the Nine Realms, while Bi Xiao’s array could teleport to any corner of the universe.

The project is large, but not a big deal for Bi Xiao. Spending some time researching in Fairyland, he could complete the construction.

After all, being alone at home is boring.
