Chapter 341 339: Avengers Assemble

The more powerful a person was, the more energy it would take to revive them.

Fortunately, the souls of the Avengers were all with her, which reduced the difficulty of their revival.

As one chess piece after another was consumed, clusters of light continuously emerged above the board.

After being revived, everyone's memories were reset to the eve of the World's destruction.

"Aunt Mei, Uncle Ben! No!"

"I can't protect them, my suit can't protect anything!"

"Loki, Sif, Fandral… Who, who exactly? Do you dare to fight me?!"

"The World is destroyed? What a joke?!"

"…"

Hearing those heartbreaking last words, Rimuru's heart also grew heavy.

The destruction of the World took everything.

And these superhero she revived undoubtedly had to endure more than ordinary people.

However, superhero were superhero after all. After a brief period of memory confusion, they all regained their composure immediately.

When they saw Rimuru, almost every Super Hero there found it difficult to contain themselves.

They remembered, they remembered everything completely.

The World was destroyed.

Earth was destroyed, humanity was extinct, everything was gone!

Were they now revived by Rimuru?

Only after experiencing loss does one truly understand the value of what was possessed.

But if, after losing everything, one could gain a chance to make amends, even those who had fallen into hell could see hope and dawn.

"Rimuru, did you save this World?"

It was Tony Stark who spoke. At this moment, there was no hint of his usual flippancy on his face, replaced by an unprecedented hope.

Not just Tony, but Peter, Captain, Wanda, Hawkeye, Ant-Man—almost everyone looked at her eagerly.

If they could all be revived, then their deceased relatives must also be revivable!

Rimuru: "Currently, I've only revived you all; it's not even close to saving the World. As for saving the World, it's still ongoing. Everyone, I need your strength!"

Need our strength?

Almost every Super Hero's eyes lit up simultaneously.

It was good to have hope, good to have hope. The fear was having no hope at all!

Ant-Man: "Rimuru, we haven't interacted much, so we're not too familiar. But if you can save my daughter, my life will be yours from now on!"

Thor: "Master, just tell me what you need me to do!"

Wanda Django Maximoff: "I just saw that everyone here is a Super Hero, and only I am an ordinary person. Since you chose to revive me, it means I have value in being revived. As long as you can save Pietro, I am willing to give my all!"

Hearing Wanda's words, Rimuru suddenly remembered.

Because of her, this little butterfly, the Mind Stone of this Universe was devoured by her too early.

Therefore, Wanda had not become the Scarlet Witch.

However, the Scarlet Witch's potential was there after all, and reviving her was definitely not a loss.

Doctor Stephen Strange quietly observed all of this.

Honestly, he had long heard of Rimuru's great name.

Whether in reality or in Kamar-Taj, Rimuru was an absolute legend.

But this was the first time they had truly met.

What he hadn't expected was that Rimuru was even stronger and more mysterious than rumored.

One had to know that during the period Rimuru was gone, he had already taken over from Ancient One and become the new Sorcerer Supreme!

However, this was undoubtedly great news.

"Everyone, please listen to me calmly…"

Rimuru didn't waste words. She immediately explained how the entire Universe was currently in a state of annihilation, how neither she nor Thanos, the cosmic heart, could defeat the other, and how they ultimately chose to decide the future of the entire World through a wager.

Hearing Rimuru's words, the Avengers were all utterly shocked.

On par with an existence that could destroy the World with a single thought?

What kind of realm would that be?

Even more absurd was that the future of the World depended on a game between Rimuru and Thanos.

Using the Universe as a chessboard, and all sentient beings as chess pieces—what grand ambition!

"In my hands, I currently only have 100 million souls. These souls come from various places and races across the Universe. And the souls from Earth are not many…"

Hearing Rimuru's words, everyone's hearts sank.

There weren't many souls from Earth. In other words, the souls of their relatives were very likely not here.

"The game, as long as we win this game, everything that was lost can come back, right?!"

Peter Parker looked at Rimuru with red eyes.

Even though Rimuru had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize her, Peter Parker still found a sense of familiarity in Rimuru.

Seeing Peter with red eyes, Rimuru nodded seriously.

"That's right. As long as we win this game, I can, with a single thought, return the World to how it was before its destruction!"

Return to before its destruction?!

Instantly, almost every Super Hero's eyes turned red.

Even Hulk showed a cute and goofy smile.

Captain: "My boyhood games were definitely different from what you all play. I've never even played the video games you all play. But I will give it my all!"

Tony Stark showed a nonchalant smile.

"Entrusting the fate of the entire World to a single game? That's truly insane!"

"However, I, Tony Stark, am a famous playboy! Saving the World by playing a game? Bring it on!"

Peter Parker: "This is what I'm best at, Rimuru. I definitely won't lose this game!"

Black Widow: "A game? It seems the days ahead will be very exciting!"

Hawkeye: "Is this an old man's second spring?"

Seeing everyone full of fighting spirit, Rimuru smiled.

As expected of superhero, as expected of the Avengers, their mindset was several times better than she had imagined.

"Everyone, this is the current terrain, rivers, and mineral deposits of the East Continent, as well as my vision for the game…"

Rimuru immediately used 3D projection to explain all the preparations she and Ciel had made, and all the rules they had laid down for this land.

Everyone listened very carefully, fearing they would miss a single word.

Even the old-fashioned Captain America tried his best to understand this "war" in his own way!

As for Tony, Peter, and others who enjoyed games, their eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Especially Tony, with his genius brain, immediately understood Rimuru's intention.

"So, Rimuru, you want to use players to work, fight monsters, and save energy through methods like Krypton Gold (in-game purchases) and item recycling. A very genius concept!"

"But, Rimuru, have you overlooked one fact? Players care a lot about the game experience. If the difficulty is too high, their mentality might just collapse. Not to mention actually defeating Thanos!"

Tony was Tony indeed; he saw through the pros and cons of Rimuru's plan at a glance.

Peter Parker: "Mr. Stark is right. Not every player is a genius. Or rather, the vast majority of players are ordinary people. If the setbacks are a little too big, they might just quit!"

Everyone looked at Rimuru. Listening to Tony and Peter, Rimuru's plan seemed to have a lot of problems!

"Isn't this the meaning of the Avengers assembling?"

"The total energy that Thanos and I can use is fixed. Essentially, there is no absolute difference. For intellectual challenges, don't we have Tony, Banner, and Peter?"

Hearing Rimuru's words, Tony, Banner, and Peter instantly perked up, feeling immensely proud.

"And Captain, when facing an absolute morale low, would you give up?"

Captain's spirit was roused, and he said without hesitation, "No! I would be the first to stand up again!"

"There you have it then?"

Rimuru looked at Doctor Strange, "Doctor Stephen Strange, you are Kamar-Taj's strongest Sorcerer Supreme. Your talent is unmatched."

Doctor Strange was surprised. Was he that strong?

He had always been eating dust behind Rimuru, hadn't he!

Rimuru looked at Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and even Ant-Man and Wanda.

"Everyone, just as Tony said, this game of mine has many loopholes. But where in the World is there an absolutely perfect plan?"

"If we pursue perfection in everything, wouldn't that make us just like Thanos?"

"Everyone, let's work together to save this World!"

Hearing Rimuru's words, the flame in the hearts of the Avengers burned fiercely.

This was a flame named hope and salvation!

They were also needed by Rimuru, this powerful being, and they could also contribute their part to saving their loved ones.

This was truly wonderful!
