"Blackheart is dead just like that?"
Clea hadn't even reacted, she felt the whole thing was absurd.
"He was augmented by the power of countless Dimensional Rulers..."
"That's why I called him an idiot."
Aaron sneered, "As cannon fodder, he was completely unaware. Despite having the augmentation of many Dimensional Rulers, he chose to engage me in close combat."
"If he doesn't die, who will?"
In fact, Blackheart's power was enough to easily destroy this Universe. He could have even caused Aaron some minor trouble. But Blackheart chose to flaunt himself right in front of him.
To minimize hassle, Aaron immediately used a combo: Soul Creation + Judgement Stare.
One combo took Blackheart out.
This gave Clea and Wanda the misconception that Blackheart was weaker than Dormammu.
"Alright, now let's start repairing the Universe."
Aaron restored the surrounding environment to its original state and looked up at the sky.
Deep within the extinguished sun, a spark of flame suddenly appeared. These sparks, like a single prairie fire, quickly flared up.
Meanwhile, in the Crimson Cosmos.
Cyttorak, Shuma-Gorath, Set, Chthon, Mephisto, and the other Dimensional Rulers looked at each other, utterly bewildered.
It's over just like that?
Damn it!
"Did any of you see clearly what just happened? How did Blackheart die?" Set frowned.
He didn't understand. Although Blackheart was trash, after receiving the augmentation of the Dimensional Rulers' powers, his strength was enough to briefly stand alongside the top Dimensional Rulers.
Even Set himself would need to expend considerable effort within his own domain to defeat Blackheart.
Yet, how long did Aaron take?
Did it even take three minutes?
Mephisto said with shock and uncertainty, "How do I feel... the method he used seemed to be the Penance Stare?"
"The Penance Stare? Those little trinkets you created? How does Aaron know how to use that?"
"I recall that the Penance Stare used by those little guys isn't powerful enough to judge Blackheart."
Chthon's voice was low and deep, sounding like it came from Hell.
They all knew that Mephisto used Hellfire and contracts in many Parallel Universes to transform Ghost Riders, employing them to handle tricky issues while also attempting to deceive them out of their souls.
Ghost Rider's strength was decent, at least quite handy to use in reality. But overall, they were just mediocre.
Judgment? Let them try to judge us?
Every top Dimensional Ruler is a great demon who commits every evil imaginable. They do everything, except good deeds.
If the Penance Stare were truly that powerful, then the Endless Dimensions would belong to the Ghost Riders, and their positions should be held by the Ghost Riders.
But is that possible?
Mephisto was also extremely confused.
"I don't know. Blackheart doesn't have a soul. Even if a Ghost Rider were involved, it would be impossible to judge him."
"This is unreasonable."
Mephisto truly could not understand.
The battle ended too quickly, so fast that he didn't have time to react.
"Heh heh, that good son of yours is trash. I said long ago that Blackheart wasn't trustworthy. See? He wasted the opportunity we painstakingly created."
A humanoid shadow several meters tall stepped out of the darkness.
He had a pair of "bull horns" on his head and wore a set of barbarian armor made of fur and unknown materials. Besides his face, there were two bright blood-red pupils on his chest. Those red eyes were like crimson blood, and just looking at them made Mephisto's heart tremble.
He is Chiyou, one of the most powerful Dimensional Rulers in the Infinite Dimensions.
His strength far surpasses Dormammu, enough to stand alongside Cyttorak, Chthon, Shuma-Gorath, and others. He is also one of the strongest members of the Dimensional Ruler Alliance.
Chiyou is a specially invited ally personally brought by Cyttorak, and Mephisto is far from being able to offend him.
"My apologies, Lord Chiyou. That son of mine was inherently an idiot. I apologize for him failing to meet your expectations." Mephisto bowed and apologized.
As the King of Hell, he actually had no real standing to participate in this conversation. Anyone present could easily take him into the palm of their hand and toy with him.
Even if Dormammu were resurrected, in front of these beings, he would just be a small mouse in the corner.
However, Mephisto's ability to carve out a massive reputation in the Endless Dimensions has never relied on strength, but on brains.
Besides offering strategy, he also needed to provide emotional value for the great figures present. He also served as the bridge for communication between the top Dimensional Rulers and the other small and medium Dimensional Rulers.
The smaller Dimensional Rulers dared not communicate with these powerful Dimensional Rulers, fearing they would be devoured whole.
This was Mephisto's greatest significance for being there.
Shuma-Gorath's eyeball twitched slightly. "Blackheart had a soul. I sensed that wonderful aura. Aaron can create powerful souls."
As a Soul Extractor, Shuma-Gorath loved souls that screamed and wailed the most.
Blackheart's recent cries of misery were exceptionally pleasant to his ears, and this allowed him to discover the secret of Blackheart's failure.
Cyttorak, sitting at the head, narrowed his gaze slightly. "Oh, it seems that fellow has already obtained the Soul Stone?"
"A fine move. Perhaps we need a more capable tool."
Regardless, Blackheart, augmented by their powers, possessed strength far exceeding that of ordinary Dimensional Rulers. But even so, Aaron killed him instantly with just one move. This was enough to make them take him more seriously.
Chiyou turned his head and grinned menacingly. "Why bother with all this fuss? Let me descend upon Earth. I will tear his flesh apart piece by piece and make him die screaming."
Chthon's cold, hoarse voice rang out from the shadow where he was hidden.
"Then we must first take care of the Vishanti. Shall we make a move?"
The Vishanti is composed of Agamotto, Oshtur, and Hoggoth.
Chthon was confident he could defeat any one of them in a one-on-one fight but facing all three simultaneously, even someone as powerful as him felt his strength was insufficient.
Not to mention, Oshtur had a good relationship with Gaia, the sister he disliked the most.
And that elder god nemesis—Atum, the God-Eater—was still alive and well.
Now that there was a chance to eliminate Oshtur, he naturally became interested.
Set swayed his serpentine head. "Good idea, count me in. As long as we can handle the Vishanti, reality will be our backyard."
Chiyou chuckled. "Count me in too. If I hadn't been injured in ancient times, I would have wanted to test the Vishanti's capabilities long ago."
Shuma-Gorath remained silent, he seemed to be contemplating something else.
Cyttorak closed his eyes in thought.
As the strongest Dimensional Ruler, he did not fear the Vishanti, he believed they were no match for him.
But he wasn't interested in reality, so why suddenly provoke a powerful enemy?
Moreover, the Vishanti had other helpers.
Most importantly, he didn't want to be a pawn for Chthon and Set. He only wanted to guard the Crimson Cosmos.
Even if he eliminated the Vishanti, it would only benefit these cunning bastards.
"We don't need to deal with the Vishanti for now, we'll think of other ways."
Cyttorak made the decision, and with Shuma-Gorath not objecting, Chthon and the other Dimensional Rulers naturally wouldn't contradict him.
After all, this was the Crimson Cosmos.
Seeing this, Chthon, though unwilling, could only accept it.
Mephisto then spoke, "Folks, I have a great idea."
"A good way to project one of us into reality."
Meanwhile, in reality, in an area near the northern side of the Moon.
Through the mimetic stealth shield, a city filled with futuristic technology stood majestically on the Moon.
And in that luxurious palace, the living quarters of the Inhumans royal family.
The current King of Attilan, Black Bolt, along with Medusa, his brother Maximus, and others, were gathered to discuss the future of the Inhumans.
"The situation is clear: the source of the sun's extinction is Earth, where a powerful energy signature has appeared, capable of wiping out the entire Solar System."
"That unknown energy signature used some special means to extinguish the sun. We must find a way quickly, either to reignite the sun or to leave the Solar System and relocate to a more distant place."
An Inhuman hurriedly reported the collected information.
With the sun extinguished, Earth was greatly affected. But they, located on the Moon, were even more affected.
Although their technology was more advanced than Earth's, and their protective shield could barely resist the extreme cold, it required more energy.
Moreover, no one knew if that unknown energy entity on Earth would unleash a terrifying method capable of destroying the Solar System.
Black Bolt kept his mouth shut, and by the faint light, he looked at the huge Earth.
Maximus's eyes darted. "Perhaps we can find a way to deal with the culprit of this matter. The King is the most powerful among us, one word from him can kill all enemies."
"Perhaps the King can lead us to end this crisis."
Someone immediately objected, "Impossible! That's a terrifying existence capable of extinguishing the sun. Even the King is absolutely no match for it. We cannot take such a risk."
Maximus retorted, "Then why hasn't Earth had any problems yet? Perhaps your detection equipment is faulty. Or are you questioning the King's abilities?"
The other party was speechless.
Maximus sneered.
He naturally knew that a terrifying threat was hidden on Earth.
But so what?
If Black Bolt went, he would be the one to die.
After Black Bolt dies, he could take over as King. Wouldn't that be even better?
"At this critical moment, I believe the King will surely lead Attilan to victory." Maximus provoked.
Black Bolt remained expressionless.
He looked at Medusa. "Are you going to Earth? Lockjaw... wait, where is Lockjaw? Where is Crystal?"
Medusa suddenly realized that she hadn't heard from Crystal for a long time.
Her mind flashed back to the Earth friend Crystal had mentioned to her a while ago.
Could it be... Crystal was on Earth right now?
Medusa's expression changed drastically. "I'm going to Earth, Crystal is there."
Black Bolt nodded upon hearing this.
He also had to go to Earth. Although he vaguely knew Maximus had ill intentions, now, as King, he had to step forward and fight.
Seeing this, Gorgon, Captain of the Royal Guard, and Karnak, the Royal Advisor, exchanged glances and could only follow.
After they passed through the portal to Earth and arrived in New York, a ray of sunlight once again shone upon the land, dispelling the darkness.
It was then that they heard Crystal's exclamation.
"Wow, Mr. Aaron defeated the demon and saved the world!"
"The sun has reignited too!"
"Mr. Aaron is amazing!"
"Of course, Boss is the most powerful man in the world. Reigniting the sun is just a casual matter for him."
Who is Aaron? He reignited the sun? Are you sure you're not joking?
Black Bolt's group looked at each other.
