MCU- CH-168. So this is a real god!

When the surviving god was about to open the space portal to leave, he heard Luke suddenly say, "Wait, you may not be able to leave just yet! I need to confirm something before deciding whether to let you go alive."

At this moment, Luke checked his treasure chest mission of Ragnarok and noticed he was still far from completing 100%. He wasn't sure if the remaining progress was tied to Gorr or the god in front of him.

After all, ever since Gorr appeared, the task progress displayed by the system had increased significantly. Killing this group of gods had also advanced the task progress by a good amount. Now, the final part of the progress depended on whether it was connected to Gorr or the god standing before him.

But if Luke's luck was bad, he'd have no choice but to send both of them to death together, with no regrets. At least they would have company on the road!

"What? Don't go too far. You and I are both gods of the universe. How dare you insult me like this?"

Upon hearing Luke's words, the god suddenly felt a great sense of shame.

"Yes, I heard you! But you, a mass-produced tool, are not worthy of being on the same level as me. Understand this: your life and death are now in my hands. If I let you live, you live. If I let you die, you'll never leave the Nine Realms. Do you get that?"

Seeing the god in front of him had no awareness of being a prisoner, Luke decided to directly explain the situation.

"You…"

The god was completely shocked by Luke's words! After all, he was no robot. He had been rampaging through the universe for billions of years and didn't want to share the fate of the other nine gods. Even if he had to die, he wanted to die with dignity. But being eaten alive was a fate far too humiliating for a god.

"What do you need to confirm? Tell me now!" The god, realizing he had no choice, cooperated with Luke.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Say one more word, and I'll eat you right away!"

Hearing the god's anxious tone, Luke glared at him impatiently with his scarlet devil eyes, which were larger than the god's entire body. Instantly, feeling the looming threat of death, the god fell silent.

Luke suddenly stretched out his claws and grabbed at the void, penetrating the dimensional barrier.

"Huh! Luke, is there another enemy hidden somewhere?"

At this moment, Thor, having dissipated his massive thunderous form, took a breath and asked Luke. Maintaining his powerful thunder incarnation had consumed a great deal of divine energy, and Thor, having just crossed the threshold of becoming a cosmic god, wasn't yet fully in control of his newfound power.

"No, I'm just looking for someone who ran away."

Luke's claws crossed the endless void, dispelling the eternal shadow.

"Who are you looking for?" Thor didn't understand who could be worthy of Luke's attention.

"Found it!" Luke smiled grimly, quickly retracting his claws. Then, Thor and the others saw a desolate death star being pulled out from the endless shadows by Luke! This planet was Gorr's base camp in the shadow world. After escaping earlier, Gorr had immediately reconnected with the shadows and returned to his lair, drenched in sweat and sitting on a huge rock.

"Is that the real god?" Gorr asked, confused, "Then what about all those gods I've killed over the years?"

After witnessing the overwhelming power of the ten gods, Gorr suddenly realized he had underestimated the true nature of gods all along. There were beings in the universe far more powerful than the ones he had slaughtered.

"One day, I'll use you to chop off their heads. You will help me!" Gorr held up the Necrosword, gently stroking the blade as though it were a lover.

Hearing Gorr's words, the Necrosword began to bubble like liquid. The sword transmitted a vision into Gorr's mind: the image of its former master, Knull, using it to slay gods. However, it conveniently left out the part where Knull was defeated by a more powerful entity.

"Was that your original master? He was so powerful! I'll be just like him!" Gorr declared, consumed by his ambition, "This universe doesn't need gods that destroy everything! One day, we'll kill them all."

Gorr's blood boiled with excitement, and he yearned to slay a few gods to prove his resolve. However, just as he was lost in his grand ambitions, a massive black claw, large enough to pluck stars from the sky, broke through space and dimensions, descending upon him.

Without any resistance, Gorr was snatched from the shadow kingdom by Luke! In front of Luke, who could effortlessly devour gods, Gorr trembled uncontrollably. Although he wanted to raise his sword to resist, his body refused to obey his brain.

What made Gorr even more desperate was that the Necrosword, which had been so eager moments ago, was now as fearful as a mouse before a cat. The sword had sensed the faint remnant of Knull's soul from Luke.

In that instant, everything became clear.

Its former master, Knull, the God of Darkness who had forged the Necrosword and created the symbiotes, had died at the hands of the black dragon before it. Now, the Necrosword and the symbiotes were instinctively terrified in the presence of their true enemy.

Facing a powerful being that had the strength to kill Gorr, the Necrosword had every reason to be afraid. Looking at Gorr, who was as small as a speck of dust in front of him, Luke felt a fleeting sense of sympathy. However, compared to completing his treasure chest mission, Gorr was insignificant.

"Alright, I'll give you a chance to say your last words; otherwise, you won't have the opportunity again." Luke said mercifully, granting Gorr a final moment to speak.

Hearing this, Gorr's pale face contorted with frustration, and veins bulged on his forehead. He had not yet fulfilled his desire to destroy all the gods in the universe, but now, he was about to meet his end.

Since Gorr remained silent, Luke took it as a sign that there were no last words to share, "Since you have nothing to say, I'll assume you're ready for your fate."

With a mere exertion of force, Luke effortlessly annihilated the dark asteroid on which Gorr stood. In the aftermath, only the black Necrosword remained floating in the void.

"Master, can you give me that sword?" Venom, who had been deeply focused on deciphering Luke's unique genetics, suddenly sent a telepathic message to Luke.

"Why? Is that sword useful to you?" Luke asked, intrigued by Venom's request.

"Master, the Necrosword is the key to opening the Living Abyss in another dimension. It was through the power of the Living Abyss that Knull, the original wielder of the sword, created our symbiote species."

"Knull placed the entrance to the Living Abyss within his own body. Only by wielding the Necrosword can the gate to that dimension be opened."

Luke's interest was piqued by Venom's explanation. He decided that he would take Venom back to the symbiote's place of origin at a later time to explore the Living Abyss.

However, before he could dwell on it further, Luke's attention was entirely captured by the system panel. With Gorr's death, the progress of his Ragnarok mission had finally reached 100%. The mission was complete, signifying the end of this long pursuit.

Luke realized that while he had the power to kill Gorr earlier, sparing him had been the right decision, if only to honor the larger forces at play, such as Eternity. After all, everything happening now was within Eternity's body, as Eternity encompassed the entire multiverse.
