With the spread of the white light of the exorcism ritual, the world polluted by the power of Yog-Sothoth began to recover rapidly.
The Earth, which until then had been shrouded in darkness, was slowly returning to its familiar blue form.
The people were also recovering.
Or more precisely, the Marvel universe was recovering.
Everything was becoming familiar again.
Familiar colors.
Familiar recipes.
The Avengers from this universe quickly assembled.
Doctor Strange was the first to sense that something had happened, someone had saved them.
Without hesitation, he shared it with the others.
"Wonderful."
"We finally got out of that nightmare."
"Whoever did this must be our benefactor."
"Yes… I wonder what our benefactor is doing now?"
But while the Avengers were still exchanging words of gratitude...
On the other side of the Earth.
Their savior, the great benefactor of this world was just recovering from the shock caused by the system permissions he had taken over.
And then—
"I look at this Earth and... it really looks like the devil to me."
Aron said it calmly.
And then:
Boom——!
The Earth, only just recovered from the Cthulhu infection, exploded instantly.
No warning. No announcement. No delay.
A second earlier the Avengers were expressing gratitude.
A second later they no longer existed.
Together with the Earth, they vanished.
At the moment the Earth was destroyed, the entire structure of the universe began to collapse.
Everything went in a chain, like a line of dominoes falling in perfect rhythm.
The universe began to die.
The end of everything was approaching.
Aron watched without any particular emotion, but couldn't help commenting:
"Weird... what the hell is this?"
"Didn't the Celestial already destroy the Earth once when it was birthing Tiamut?"
"And even then, although the Earth was shattered, the universe didn't experience this kind of chain death."
He muttered to himself.
The only reasonable explanation would be that someone or something had forcibly linked the Earth with the rest of the universe in the meantime.
So now, when you destroy the Earth, everything falls with it.
Of course...
There's also a simpler explanation.
Marvel writers themselves no longer know what they're writing.
"Ah, I almost forgot about you, lackey~..."
As the universe collapsed, the final countdown was entering its finale.
Aron was getting ready to leave.
He glanced around.
Noticed Serpent God Set, who had shrunk nearby, trying to minimize his presence.
At this moment, Set was completely terrified.
The reason for his fear wasn't that Aron banished Yog-Sothoth.
But Aron's way of destroying this Earth.
Unheard of.
To see it, yet never having seen it before.
Even for Set, who had lived untold tens of thousands of years.
It was also impossible to comprehend this power.
Or rather, he didn't even know if it was power at all.
Basically, before the Earth exploded, Set didn't feel any energy fluctuations.
"Khmmm, well…"
"If I now agree to your original demand and give half of my power, isn't it a little late?"
Serpent God Set said with a dose of unease.
"What do you think?"
Aron calmly looked at Set.
In the background was the collapsing universe.
Blazing white surged from all sides, like blank sheets of paper without letters or drawings, violently replacing this universe with images and text.
"…"
Set fell silent.
His brain worked at full speed, trying to come up with a statement that would save his life.
However, he didn't have time to think of anything.
He felt a sensation called loss.
"You… what did you do?"
Set realized his power was empty!
Multilayered energy was drained in an instant!
What remained…
Was just a babbling, slightly larger… snake.
"Nothing, weren't you thinking about how to survive?"
"Well, that's the only way."
Aron said calmly.
When he said that.
He returned to the main universe with Set.
During that process, Set bitterly begged, but Aron didn't pay attention.
Upon returning to the Savage Land.
Aron directly tossed Set, who no longer had any power, toward the island.
"Enjoy the rest of your life."
"No need to thank me."
Set, whose power had been taken, was also returned to his original form.
A multidimensional giant snake that could swallow dimensions in one bite.
Now it was only about ten meters long.
Just the right size to be a spicy snack for the Jurassic dinosaurs on the island...
"No, no, no!"
"Don't leave me here, Aron, no, master, I submit to you…"
"I submit! No!!!"
Aron left, without looking back.
Set's cries gradually faded.
Instead, a few carnivorous dinosaurs were drawn by those cries.
"You're back?"
"What happened over there, I saw a black planet explode in the sky."
Tigra was also drawn by Set's cries.
Only, before she found Set, halfway she first met Aron, who was just leaving.
"~ Be your little eco-guardian, don't ask so many questions."
"I'm voting for you next year for the Nobel Peace Prize."
Aron patted Tigra on the shoulder.
As he spoke, he sniffed.
Silently took a step back.
"Here, this is a place I often go to, say my name for a 20% discount."
After Aron shoved a business card into Tigra's hand, he instantly disappeared.
"???"
Tigra looked confused.
She looked down at the business card in her hand: Red Romantic Bathing Center.
Her face instantly turned red down to the roots behind her ears.
...
On the other side.
Aron came outside the universe.
The remains of the universe that had just been destroyed had already been collected by Eternity.
Behind the universe, there were already countless such wrecks.
The surroundings of the Earth-199999-FL universe seemed to have become a massive graveyard of the Marvel Multiverse.
"Aron, a new round of collision has begun, and many universes have been destroyed."
Eternity's tone was somewhat low.
In a certain sense…
What He collects and sorts are actually His own corpses.
With so many universe deaths, Eternity inevitably feels the sorrow of a rabbit's death.
But putting that emotion aside…
Eternity hopes these wrecks can still be put to good use.
"Aron, you can begin when you're ready."
"I will tell you the way to devour the origin of the universe."
After Eternity finished, he was about to transfer the method into Aron's mind.
But hit a wall.
"Not necessary."
"I have my own method."
In an instant, Aron's consciousness couldn't even reach Eternity.
"There's only one way to devour the origin of a universe?"
Eternity was surprised.
"For you, yes."
When Aron finished, he looked at the densely packed cosmic wreckage.
"But for me… these wrecks are all, evil devils!"
