Chapter 338 336

Death is the ultimate destination for all things!

This includes not only living beings, but also all things in the World, and even the Universe itself.

"Rimuru, seeing you again means that what I entrusted to you has finally reached your hands. That's wonderful!"

The Death Goddess's smile was enchanting, exceptionally comforting, as if she had shed all her burdens.

Rimuru couldn't help but feel a little speechless. Is it really okay for you, the most powerful rule-based god in the Universe, to dump all your burdens on her?

The Death Goddess's expression was solemn. "Rimuru, Thanos has completely lost control. The power of the cosmic heart is simply not something he can master. He has now become a machine of obsession and absolute ruthlessness, devoid of emotion. He can't even be considered a living being anymore!"

Hearing the Death Goddess's words, Rimuru's expression grew increasingly serious.

In the Marvel Universe, the cosmic heart is definitely the most powerful treasure, bar none.

Death Goddess: "Only the cosmic heart can counter the cosmic heart. Rimuru, your inner Universe has immense potential and is fully qualified to evolve into a true Great Universe. The cosmic heart is almost refined, lacking only the core laws of Infinity and Annihilation."

"Sealed in this treasure chest are the law fragments I secretly hid after the two great rule Gods perished. After you devour them, the cosmic heart should be successfully conceived!"

Rimuru was surprised, not expecting the Death Goddess to secretly seal away a portion of the laws of Infinity and Annihilation right under Thanos's nose.

If things went wrong, it could have led to complete annihilation.

However, with these two laws, she truly had the capital to contend with Thanos.

Death Goddess: "To avoid any accidents, devour them quickly. The current Thanos is no longer an existence I can comprehend!"

"Okay!"

Rimuru didn't hesitate, immediately devouring the laws of Infinity and Annihilation.

In an instant, Rimuru felt a completely different sensation within her inner Universe.

The Universe expanded greatly again, everything thriving, possessing an inexhaustible source of power.

Most importantly, the five laws of the Universe were now complete, without any missing parts.

Even the six Infinity Stones, which had once replaced the law of Infinity, were liberated, scattering across the Universe and becoming the six great pillars supporting the Universe.

The most important transformation, of course, was the successful conception of the cosmic heart.

"Ciel, I'm counting on you!"

The biggest difference between Rimuru and Thanos was that she had a rule-based Ciel within her.

After Ciel merged with the cosmic heart, she would only further sublimate and continue to enhance her abilities, rather than causing Rimuru's mind to also fall.

Sage, Great Sage, King of Wisdom

Along the way, every evolution of Ciel would in turn promote the leap in Rimuru's life level.

Rimuru and Ciel were like two legs, mutually promoting each other, indispensable.

"Okay!"

Ciel didn't hesitate, directly integrating her body into the newly formed cosmic heart.

In an instant.

Rimuru felt Ciel's consciousness spread throughout her inner Universe, and Rimuru's life level also began to undergo earth-shattering evolution.

This process lasted for a very short time, just an instant, but it also seemed like Eternity.

Rimuru felt that all the magicules in her body had disappeared; she seemed to have lost all power, but she also seemed omnipotent!

Rimuru had a faint feeling that she no longer needed skills, no longer needed combat techniques; every gesture was a law attack.

Words become law!

Feeling Rimuru's changes and seeing her eyes still clear, the Death Goddess finally relaxed completely.

Rimuru did not disappoint her!

Her conjectures were all correct!

"Rimuru, congratulations!"

"Thank you, sister. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

Rimuru was immensely grateful. If it weren't for Death, she might never have reached this point.

How strong was Thanos, who had already merged with the cosmic heart, still unknown!

Given his obsession, it was highly likely that he would have come knocking before her law of Annihilation had even been successfully conceived.

The Death Goddess nodded, accepting Rimuru's thanks with satisfaction.

In a sense, Rimuru was her greatest masterpiece!

Because Rimuru's first step in conceiving the cosmic heart began by devouring her own fragment.

The Death Goddess warned, "Rimuru, there are also differences in power between cosmic hearts. Your inner Universe is still very young. At critical moments, it's better to use wisdom to solve problems!"

Rimuru nodded, "I understand. I definitely won't act recklessly."

Death Goddess: "It's good that you know. There's really not much more I can do. In the lower layer of the treasure chest are 100 million souls I secretly intercepted, from living beings all over the Universe. They are the last vitality of this Universe. Rimuru, use them as you see fit!"

Hearing the Death Goddess's words, Rimuru was immediately overjoyed.

100 million souls, in the entire Universe, was indeed not a large number.

But with these 100 million souls, Rimuru would have preserved the spark of this Universe, preventing its true demise.

Especially when Rimuru saw the souls of Avengers heroes like Iron Man, Captain, Hulk, and Doctor Strange among these 100 million souls.

Rimuru was completely invigorated!

Because every soul here was almost a bond she had in this Universe.

"Sister, I don't even know how to thank you. You not only saved my future but also saved my past!"

Seeing Rimuru's sincere smile, the Death Goddess beamed.

Making this decision secretly was truly wonderful!

Death Goddess: "No need to thank me. Everything is reciprocal. You gave me the joy of life, and I returned happiness to you. Isn't that natural?"

"Alright. I must leave now, otherwise Thanos will find this place through me. Not far away is a newly born World. I can feel that there are many people there who care about you and whom you care about!"

The Death Goddess smiled faintly, then transformed into specks of light and slowly disappeared.

Watching the disappearing specks of light, Rimuru couldn't help but clench her fists.

Since the Death Goddess had entrusted everything to her, she absolutely could not betray her trust!

Death gives meaning to life!

However, for the Death Goddess, it was actually the opposite.

Life gave meaning to Death.

If there was nothing left in this Universe that could "die," then Death itself would also head towards Death!

"Ciel, how strong am I now?"

A Shadow flashed, and Ciel, with long silver-white hair, appeared directly in front of Rimuru.

"Aside from Thanos with the cosmic heart, you can achieve anything you can imagine!"

Rimuru pondered, "Then how do I compare to Thanos with the cosmic heart?"

Ciel: "Cannot be compared. Theoretically, you two should be evenly matched. Rimuru, your Universe has just reached completion, so it should be slightly inferior. But your Universe has six more Infinity Stones!"

"However, for Thanos with the cosmic heart, gathering the six Infinity Stones is too simple; he could even create six stones with a flick of his hand. It's just unknown if he has the inclination to do so."

So that's how it is?

In Rimuru's mind, sparks of thought constantly flickered.

The six Infinity Stones, weren't they the ultimate trump card?

Ciel: "Another point is that Thanos is lost, while you are not at all. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. A completely lost Thanos, aside from obsession, is absolute rationality. It's terrifying!"

Rimuru understood. Absolute calmness meant that they would only make the most rational judgments.

This was like Kiritsugu, who always wanted to be a hero, always accustomed to solving everything with the optimal solution—

To achieve the greatest results with the smallest cost!

It's hard to evaluate the correctness of this principle.

Take sacrifice, for example. If one life can save a hundred lives, then the sacrifice of one person is definitely worth it.

But for the family of the sacrificed, the situation might not be like that!

No wonder Ciel said that she and Thanos—couldn't be compared!
