If, at the end of the day, there is still one person qualified to wield divine power, it must be me!
– Thor Odinson.
...
The Earth of the DC Universe was suddenly covered by dark clouds!
Thunder rumbled!
A terrifying divine pressure descended from the stormy skies!
Even Doomsday couldn't help but lift his head.
The lightning fell.
Around the thunderbolt, white runes appeared!
And then.
Amidst the lightning and runes, a figure slowly descended.
Blond hair beneath a winged helmet!
A scaled cloak!
The only difference was that in his hand was not Mjolnir, but Stormbreaker…
"The collision of universes is such a vivid event, and yet you didn't invite me."
Thor, who had long been off the scene, descended from the sky.
Note!
This was the real Thor!
"Thor, your eye!"
Tony Stark was shocked to see it.
After all this time, Thor's left eye was the same as his father Odin's, blind and covered with a black patch.
"Don't change the subject, Stark."
"That deceitful counterfeit named Ragnarok, I'll deal with you for that later."
Thor tightened his grip on Stormbreaker.
Hercules could clearly sense a familiar force within Thor.
"That's Odin's power!"
"No…"
Thor gently shook his head.
On his calm face was unimaginable anger.
But he didn't vent it on his friends, he buried it deep in his heart.
"No, my friend, this is only Thor's power," said Thor.
He leapt with an unimaginably great force!
Odin was dead!
Now before them stood the God-King Thor!
"Come!"
"Monster!"
Thor was surrounded by thunder and storm.
That terrifying energy shocked Superman.
Hercules and Ares, also sons of god-kings, were speechless.
Heavenly Father!
The Supreme Heavenly Father!
Just like Odin!
Hercules couldn't imagine what Thor had gone through during this time.
In Thor…
Hercules felt only anger and pain!
"Roooaaar——!"
And for the first time, Doomsday also became completely serious.
He sensed in Thor a power far more terrifying than Superman's!
Doomsday attacked first.
Boom——!
Thick pillars of light burst from his heat rays.
But Thor, leaping forward, directly ignored Doomsday's beams.
Bathed in crimson light.
The axe fell!
Boom——!!!
The earth shook violently.
Stormbreaker slashed through the blinding white light.
Half of the Arctic continent split in two.
Countless glaciers and landmasses vanished in an instant, leaving only an abyssal rift.
From space…
it looked like a new scar across the Earth.
"!!!"
Superman suddenly turned his head to look at Tony Stark.
You in Marvel have someone this powerful, and you didn't say so earlier?
Tony instantly realized what Superman meant and silently shook his head.
I didn't make this one!
Tony was completely dumbfounded.
Because everyone knew Thor wasn't this strong.
But now…
there was the proof.
...
"Roar…"
For the first time, Doomsday was seriously injured.
His body was cut from shoulder to waist.
He was split in half.
But he still didn't die!
Not only that—
his terrifying regeneration ability quickly fused his body back together!
Rapidly growing muscle fibers intertwined and merged like liquid!
Even more terrifying, that grievous wound triggered a new round of evolution.
A bone-like armor began growing across his body.
The original bone spikes expanded outward.
"Next time, make sure to cut off my head!"
Doomsday raised his head mockingly and sneered.
The result came in the very next moment.
A grenade containing Kryptonite dust fell onto him.
Boom——!
The grenade exploded.
Green Kryptonite dust covered Doomsday's entire body.
In an instant—
Doomsday stopped regenerating.
His rapid evolution, super healing, super strength, and other traits,
the moment they touched the Kryptonite dust, all vanished.
Although the Kryptonite dust could only suppress him for a short time,
but… it was enough.
"Thanks for the reminder!"
Thor landed beside Doomsday.
He raised Stormbreaker once more.
This time…
he cut off the head!
"Uff! Finally found it! Kryptonite!"
"A Kryptonite the size of a fist!"
"Found it!"
"Who should I give it to now?"
At the very moment Thor's axe fell,
Quicksilver finally found the Kryptonite Batman had hidden in the Batcave.
He teleported back.
"…"
But what greeted him was unanimous silence from everyone.
You found it?
Nice.
Put it back.
"???"
Quicksilver was confused.
When he turned around, he saw Doomsday already fallen under Thor's second strike.
"My friend, it's over here."
"Go do what you need to do."
After killing Doomsday,
Thor raised his head.
His one remaining right eye seemed to pierce through the cosmic barrier.
He locked eyes with Aron, far away in space, with Shuma-Gorath… uh, the three-eyed one.
...
"Rune King Thor?"
Even though he possessed the Time Stone, Aron didn't make a habit of monitoring others all day.
So even he didn't know what Thor had gone through during this time.
Why was one eye blind?
Why had he inherited Odin's power?
And why did it seem like he had gained the power of runes?
Aron suddenly became deeply interested in Thor's experiences during this period.
But for now…
he had more important things to do.
"First of all, let's restore the audio from the Recycle Bin!"
Khmm~
Aron pulled out his mobile phone.
He restored the deleted audio of the Ancient One.
And then the real work began.
"Infinity Stones, help me separate these two universes!"
Snap!
Aron snapped his fingers.
The six Infinity Stones, previously bound by All-Black the Necrosword, suddenly broke free and shot outward.
Time!
Space!
Reality!
Power!
Mind!
Soul!
The fragments of power from the six primordial laws of creation poured into Aron's body.
Boom!
Then, in the same instant.
Aron suddenly heard a thunderous roar in his mind.
It was the image of the beginning of the universe.
And now…
the power of creation itself had fallen into Aron's hands.
His strength could no longer be quantified.
Because what he now held was no longer a defined force, it had no hierarchy.
No limit.
Only the right to govern a universe.
But that was enough.
Eternity of the Marvel Universe reopened his star-filled eyes, gazing at Aron with complex emotions.
Infinity, Annihilation, Death, and Oblivion also appeared.
The four abstractions of the Marvel Universe!
Together they watched this scene!
The Watchers and many gods of the Marvel Universe also turned their attention.
But they were long past relevance…
not even worthy of having their names mentioned in this paragraph.
...
On the other side.
The DC Universe.
The entity embodied as the Goddess of Destiny.
Quietly watched as a massive hand pressed down toward the DC Universe.
That was Aron incarnate!
Just like the mythical tale told by Atleza.
He was like the mythical Pangu.
Holding one universe in one hand and separating them apart.
"What a pity…"
The Goddess of Destiny sighed softly.
Then she saw Aron's massive hand pressing toward her.
And pushing her away.
"???"
The Goddess of Destiny looked at Aron suspiciously.
In the end, she didn't resist.
She allowed herself to be pushed back.
But not everyone wanted to see this happen.
For certain beings, the fusion of two universes served their greater purpose.
For example…
The Anti-Monitor.
