Chapter 247: End of Grandmaster
Chapter 247: End of Grandmaster
"I feel like I've seen a description of this goddess somewhere before, but it's very vague," Loki seemed to have thought of something and was lost in thought.
"She is the embodiment of rules, representing the domain of death. When anyone dies, they enter the realm of death, which she rules. This means that if she refuses someone's death, that person will not die under any circumstances."
Upon hearing this description, Wanda immediately summarized the characteristics of this death goddess.
The Grandmaster remained silent, and everyone suddenly realized the implications.
"Incredible."
"Well, for you, it's really not... um, a good thing," Thor said regretfully, looking at the Grandmaster.
From Thor's perspective, although the Grandmaster had gained the characteristic of eternal life, he had also lost a great deal.
Dying in battle is a warrior's fate, an end, and a culmination. For Asgardians, dying in battle is an honor. How can someone who cannot die in battle enter Valhalla?
How can they be revered by all Asgardians?
With different perspectives, Wanda and Bella didn't care about the topic of immortality. They were more concerned with the fact that such a powerful deity existed in this universe, which made them wonder if their own paths would lead them to a similar stature as the death goddess.
Could they reach that level?
These were questions for the future. After discussing the concept of the death goddess, the next topic was dealing with the Grandmaster.
Regarding this matter, the group was surprisingly lenient.
Because he couldn't be killed.
Without the possibility of death, the greatest punishment was not an option. However, the most terrifying punishment is often not death, but torture.
Thor and Loki were inclined towards imprisonment and confinement.
However, capturing the Grandmaster was not within their domain, so the brothers wisely refrained from suggesting it.
According to Asgardian logic, the Grandmaster and the entire planet Sakaar should be considered Wanda and Bella's spoils of war.
How to handle it was for the two women to decide.
The brothers were well aware of this.
They were friends, but in certain matters, they needed to be conscious and avoid causing conflicts. Even though Wanda and Bella wouldn't mind too much, caution was necessary.
The brothers were uninterested in personal gain or alliances; they were friends and didn't want these issues to strain their relationship.
They refrained from expressing opinions, and Pietro remained silent, as he was too lazy to think about these matters.
As for Hulk, he was content eating fruit and only had one opinion: beat him to death.
Wanda looked at Bella, "What do you think?"
"Since he can't be killed, imprison him for ten thousand years," Bella replied simply. She tended to be straightforward with her punishments.
However, her simple punishment was utterly unacceptable for the Grandmaster.
To his eternal life, ten thousand years was but a fleeting moment.
Yet, many things cannot be compared in this way.
As a long-lived being, his eternal life had cost him much, including excitement and novelty. That's why he established the Contest of Champions, to give himself a reason to live.
But a ten thousand-year imprisonment, during which he could do nothing, was an extremely harsh punishment for him.
Bella was clearly aware of the Grandmaster's nature and chose this specific punishment.
The Grandmaster wanted to resist, but his body, soul, and cosmic energy were all bound by the Angewomon. In his current state, he was no different from an ordinary person.
He wanted to plead for mercy, but under Bella's orders, the Angewomon showed no leniency.
With a golden magic circle appearing on the ground, both Bella and the Grandmaster disappeared.
As for where he would be imprisoned, there were countless dimensions in the multiverse.
Being thrown into a specific dimension, the Grandmaster would have to stay there for ten thousand years unless someone found him. He had no ability to break the dimensional barrier and escape.
The despair and fear on the Grandmaster's face as he was taken away showed how torturous this punishment was for him.
He could already imagine the boredom and loneliness he would endure for the next ten thousand years.
Whether he would go mad after ten thousand years was unknown.
Wanda and Bella didn't care. After ten thousand years, any threat of revenge from the old man would be laughable. In that time, the girls' power would have grown immensely. A Celestial? They could easily crush such a creature.
Subsequently, after thoroughly searching Sakaar for valuable treasures and finding nothing noteworthy, Thor and Loki left Sakaar and returned to Asgard, where many matters awaited their attention.
Since Odin fell into his slumber, Thor and Loki had matured, handling most affairs freely.
This was a clear signal.
As for who would ascend the throne, Thor and Loki were indifferent. Loki's previous desire for the throne was merely to spite Odin and prove he was better than Thor.
Having seen the vast world, the throne no longer held much meaning for Loki.
He knew that competing with Thor was not about the throne, but about strength and achievements.
When he surpassed Thor in power and glory, the Asgardians would naturally recognize it. Without these, even sitting on the throne wouldn't earn their respect.
As for Wanda and Bella, they continued their interstellar travels with Hulk and Gamora's sisters.
They intended to explore and see if they could capture Thanos during their journey.
Though Thanos was not a major concern, finding and defeating him would be ideal.
