Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Mephisto's tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the flames.

"I'm not a fraud. In the vast universe, you can question my kindness, but you absolutely cannot question my credibility as the devil. I'm the most trustworthy businessman in hell."

Ebony Maw snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of hostility.

"Since you're so trustworthy, where is the third warrior you promised? Are you planning to go yourself? If so, I'll thank you and take back what I said before."

Mephisto chuckled softly.

"I've brought the man." He looked at Mie Badao, "but he's not one of my men. I'm just an introducer. As for whether he's willing to fight for you, you'll have to negotiate the terms with him yourself."

Upon hearing this, Ebony Throat was immediately enraged.

"We need to negotiate? You didn't say that before! You promised to solve the manpower problem! And now you're telling the great Thanos that we need to negotiate with a mercenary?"

"A devil is a devil; your contracts are always riddled with disgusting word games."

Mephisto pursed his lips, spread his hands, and said calmly.

"Watch your words, Ebony Maw. I only agreed to provide three warriors; I didn't say they were free. And you'd better understand the situation."

"Your only two victories so far were both won by people I provided."

He said with undisguised sarcasm.

"As for your own capable men, one lost to an Earth shieldman, and the other to a tiny, silk-spitting reptile. If it weren't for me, you would be facing an embarrassing 0-4 defeat right now."

"Put away your arrogance, Ebony Maw. You have no right to point fingers at me here."

Ebony Throat immediately fell silent.

Mephisto's words were like a resounding slap across his face, leaving him speechless and unable to refute this damned truth.

He could only shut his mouth in resentment, turn his head to look at Thanos on the throne, and await his master's judgment.

Thanos slowly stood up.

With the oppressive aura unique to cosmic overlords, he descended the steps one by one, his gaze fixed on Morpheus.

He was not angry.

For someone determined to wipe out half of all life in the universe, the argument at hand is meaningless.

All he cares about is the result.

Thanos stopped in front of Mephisto, looked down at him and said, "Let him out. I'd like to see what kind of scum you've recommended."

"Very good, that's more like the way someone is going to do something big."

Mephisto put on that elegant smile again.

"Let me introduce you. This is a new god who was recently born in the depths of the universe. I don't know his exact origins, but I can say one thing for sure."

Mephisto stared at Thanos and paused deliberately for a moment.

"He is a tyrant who is absolutely no less than you."

"His name is... Dago."

As Mephisto finished speaking.

boom!

Accompanied by a sonic boom, space twisted like liquid, blue and white lightning intertwined with dark turbulence, forcibly tearing open a violent three-dimensional vortex passage.

That's a unique sight when the sound channel is activated.

A tall, imposing figure stepped out from the sonic tunnel.

With each step, the deck of Sanctuary II trembled slightly.

Darkseid is now called Dago.

He possessed a terrifying physique, even half a head taller than Thanos in front of him.

What's most chilling are his eyes, which burn with a scarlet light.

There were no unnecessary movements, nor was a single word spoken.

Simply by standing there, a suffocatingly violent aura swept over the entire space as if it were a tangible reality.

Even Ebony Maw, who always held himself in high esteem, felt an urge to kneel and submit the moment he sensed this aura.

He had to use his telekinesis to barely maintain his elegant standing posture.

Thanos's expression finally changed.

He could sense that the man in front of him named Dago possessed a domineering power that was no less than his own.

That's the aura that only conquerors who have truly ruled the stars and slaughtered all things possess.

But Thanos, who possesses two Infinity Stones, could hardly possibly lose to his opponent in terms of imposing presence.

At this moment, the gazes of the two cosmic-level overlords met.

An invisible force collided violently in the air.

There were no violent sounds or unrestrained energy releases, but the invisible mental pressure caused the surrounding space to ripple slightly.

a long time.

Thanos laughed.

It was a smile brimming with confidence and a desire for control.

"Very well," Thanos said. "You are qualified to stand on my ship. State your terms."

Dago stood with his hands behind his back, slightly raised his chin, and said expressionlessly.

"I want your army."

Dago looked Thanos straight in the eye, without flinching.

"The entire Dark Order."

Upon hearing this, Ebony Throat immediately bristled.

"Ridiculous! Utterly delusional!" Ebony Maw growled. "Who do you think you are? You haven't even stepped onto the field yet, and you dare to demand the life's work of the great Thanos?!"

"Father, please allow me to teach this arrogant brat a lesson..."

Thanos raised his left hand and waved it lightly.

"Step back, Ebony Throat."

"But Father, he..."

"I said, step back." Thanos's tone became more forceful.

Ebony Throat gritted his teeth reluctantly, but ultimately shut his mouth.

Thanos's gaze sharpened as he re-examined Dagor before him.

"You want the Black Order?" Thanos asked calmly.

"Yes," Dagger's voice was flat. "These are my conditions."

"Furthermore, I need you to announce to the entire Dark Order right now that I am your successor. After the competition, everyone will respect me."

Ebony Throat laughed in exasperation: "Arrogant! The great Thanos would never agree to such a..."

"I agree."

Thanos's calm words nearly made Ebony Maw choke and faint.

"Father?!" Ebony Maw stared at Thanos in disbelief.

Thanos raised his hand again, signaling Ebony Maw to shut up.

In Thanos's mind, the weight of matters was completely different from that of Ebony Maw.

The Dark Order, though a top-tier force spanning the universe, was his weapon in his conquests.

But these are merely tools for achieving cosmic balance.

All he needs to do is collect the Infinity Stones and snap his fingers, and the universe will be corrected.

His great purpose will also be achieved.

At that time, all armies, all warships, and even territories will become meaningless.

He doesn't need power; he only needs to fulfill his destiny.

"The Black Order is yours," Thanos said slowly. "But there are two conditions."

"So what if you lose?"

"lose?"

A cold, arrogant smile appeared on Dago's rock-like face.

"If I lose, my life is yours to command."
