Extra chapter when we reach 100 Power Stones!

After learning how the shop works, Thanos didn't stay long, knowing that what he had wasn't enough to buy what he wanted to achieve his newfound goal.
He needed to collect all the Infinity Stones to pawn them here in exchange for points.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to give him a card so that he could come back later.
To be honest, I didn't understand why, despite Thanos' mad conquest, many still decided to follow him.
But after meeting the man, I realized that despite all of his faults and madness, he is extremely charismatic.
No wonder he has plenty of followers; he simply has that quality that makes people unconsciously follow him, regardless of how illogical or absurd his goal was.
If this were in servant terms, he would definitely have an A+ Rank Charisma.
Either way, I couldn't help but pity the people who would soon be erased because, with him being here, that snap wouldn't just become a reality but an inevitability.
Unless the heroes got the same opportunity as him, it would most likely happen.

-Marvel Universe-
Thanos was back at Sanctuary, his base, and his mood couldn't be better than ever; after all, his grand plan was almost guaranteed to happen unless he made a dumb mistake, which he certainly wouldn't.
He was called mad, not stupid.
Then one of his 'children' showed him their concern. "Father, are you alright?"
Normally he wouldn't show his satisfaction toward his pawns, but right now he couldn't care less. "Better than before."
The smile on his face was visible, surprising the majority of his children, especially Ebony Maw, who was always with his father, yet he had never seen this expression on his father.
It made him think about what exactly happened back in that door for his father to be this happy.
After all, he was one of those who strongly prevented his father from going inside such an unknown place, for the sake of his safety.
But looking at it now, it seems that going inside that door made his father happier than he ever did.
Which made him curious: what exactly is behind that door? His thoughts mirrored the rest of Thanos' children.
Wanting to know exactly what transpired back there, but unfortunately their father wasn't interested in explaining and announced.
"Plan change: we will not wait until Odin dies; we will now start looking for the Infinity Stones regardless of the risk." Thanos' voice echoed through the base, and some could hear the confidence in his tone.
The children looked at each other in various states of surprise, but none voiced their disagreement; after all, why would they?
Isn't it for this reason they were raised by him?
So with that, the plan to collect the stones accelerated.
Thanos already knows where most of the stones are; it's just that there are people he can't offend due to the lack of firepower.
But right now, those hardly matter, and he has a solution for each of them, which is the small card in his fingers.
With a smile on his face, he spoke. "With this, I shall become the savior of all the universe."
And entities who have a great sense suddenly shivered for unknown reasons.
They didn't know a great upheaval was about to begin.

I was back again at my house, with a complex feeling, for a place that used to be bustling with energy was now filled with dread; it wasn't my imagination either.
I know that the secret of me having other women was eventually exposed sooner or later, but I didn't think it was this soon.
No, actually this was my fault. I know damn well that I can't contain this kind of secret, yet I deliberately ignored it because it was better than facing it.
Letting out a sigh to myself, from the moment I agreed to have this type of relationship, this was bound to happen.
Harem, huh, it sounded good on paper, but when you actually experience it yourself, it's more complicated than you'd expect. After all, girls aren't dolls, and every one of them has their own respective feelings and thoughts.
Part of the reason why my 'harem' was smooth sailing was mostly that the girls who were part of it weren't exactly normal; D has an evil god and wasn't bound by human morality, which is why being part of a harem was totally fine with her.
Besides, she's part of the reason why he has a harem right now; however, it did not make him blameless either, as he tactfully agreed to it and went with the flow.
Gilgamesh came from an ancient civilization where having multiple spouses is normal, which is why she was willing to share him; otherwise, with her personality, she would never ever accept anyone who was part of her possession being shared.
It's only thanks to her upbringing that she could accept polygamy.
As for Bocchi, she wasn't normal either. Despite being raised in modern times, she has severe social anxiety and abandonment issues; that's why she would rather be part of his harem than be left alone.
And for Mitsuha, well, I still have no idea why she joined, but she isn't normal either.
Only Ai, who was completely unaware of this, was the odd one. Well, she wasn't normal either; however, since she's the mother of my children, she probably expected that it would only be the two of us in a relationship.
Because of this expectation, she was gravely disappointed and hurt when the truth came out.
One thing I can't blame her for: if she hated me for this, I wouldn't be surprised.
However, she wouldn't show it outwardly; as someone who is part of the entertainment industry, she can act.
But our relationship would never be the same again; I reckon that she would only act as if nothing happened for the sake of the children.
Which is sad, but understandable.
But I wouldn't just stand there like an idiot; I would try to soften her feelings without any kind of interference, like using [ Path To Victory ] to make it convenient.
I won't do that; not only would it be scummy, but it wouldn't sit right with me either.
I want it to be sincere, the old-fashioned way to worm into her heart, little by little, earning her good graces.
I know instinctively that it would be a long time before she would forgive me, but that's fine; I would wait because it's her right.
The fact that she hasn't left the house means that deep inside her heart I still mattered, and that's very important.
And as for Morgan? She isn't part of his harem, no matter what she says otherwise.
Besides, she's a type that doesn't want to share.
Then he sat on the couch nearby and started contemplating.
"Husband."
There was no need to guess who said that; after all, there's only one person in this house who calls me that.
"What do you want?" I let my body sink into the couch while letting out a sigh.
To be honest, she's the last person I wanted to see right now, because she's the reason why Ai knew about his harem.
However, I don't hate her for that. I wasn't going to be a pathetic loser by blaming her for that.
It is my responsibility to begin; the only regret I have is not telling her first.
But then again, without Morgan pointing it out, I probably wouldn't tell her for a long time.
"Where exactly have you been? I searched through our connection, but you just vanished like you never existed." Morgan stated bluntly.
I wasn't surprised by that; after all, the shop is an isolated place that rejects all sorts of interference.
Still, I already anticipated she would ask this question sooner or later; to begin with, I wasn't trying to hide this.
It was completely understandable that she was interested. I went to the shop twice after I summoned her.
The first time I lost connection must have been shocking to her.
"That's easy; I was in my shop the entire time."
Still, I'm curious: the summoned servant that came from the shop, can she even become a customer?
"Your shop?" Morgan slightly shifted her head toward my face.
Damn, that face is really beautiful; shame that it was eternally cold.
"That's right." I didn't hold back and started explaining the shop's existence and its function.
I didn't even spare the detail about the origin of her summoning.
Morgan's reaction to that was merely raising a brow, as if the things I told her were merely something a bit surprising.
"A curious place; I would like to see it for myself."
I waved my hand at her and replied, "Later, I just came back from there; next time I'll bring you along."
Morgan didn't seem to mind and answered. "Very well."
Then a moment later she spoke. "Someone is watching us."
"Hmm...?" Hearing that, I checked using Observation Haki and saw that it was Miyu.
I almost forgot her existence, because her presence in this house was honestly minimal.
The only people she really interacted with were Ai, the twins and my brother-in-law.
Miyu, upon realizing that she was exposed, didn't bother hiding anymore.
And there's no point, and she stared directly at Morgan as if seeing someone familiar in particular.
"What is it, child?" Morgan was quite interested in this child because there was something special about her.
"You look like Saber," Miyu said without context, confusing Morgan.
But I know exactly who she's talking about.
"She's talking about King Arthur," I explained to her.
Then a look of realization appeared on her face. "Ah, I see that one from the property of human history."
Miyu wanted to say something, but decided not to and suddenly left and went to her room.
The two of us were left in silence.
After a full minute, I couldn't stand the silence when she was looking at me like I owed her something. "What?"
"I want to create a workshop." Morgan finally stated her intention, aside from wanting to know why our connection disappeared.
"Just that? Feel free to pick an empty room, and make sure that it's safe, and no one should be able to enter. After all, I know damn well how dangerous a magus workshop is. If you can, please don't make things explode because I don't want to see my house suddenly disappear from the face of the earth." I wasn't really worried about my house; I'm more worried if my children get hurt.
Morgan didn't seem to like my answer and said coldly. "I'm not an amateur; it certainly won't happen."
After that, she quietly disappeared.
