Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 699 The Billion-Dollar Little Red Star (Second Update)

Looking at Thanos, covered in blood and lying on the ground after Elsa's magic, Jerry couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Sometimes, a white lie is necessary!"

He felt it was best to keep the truth about him being the magician Carmen, the creator of mahjong tiles, from Elsa's mind.

Otherwise, it might really be a lose-lose situation.

"What else do you have to say!"

The crowd surrounded Thanos, who was lying on the ground, barely clinging to life, severely injured by Elsa's all-out attack. Nebula, filled with hatred, pressed Corvus Glaive's legendary blade against Thanos's neck, ready to end him at any moment.

Thanos spat out a mouthful of blood, coughed, and his eyes showed no fear of impending death, only regret and resentment.

"The universe's resources are finite. If things continue like this, the universe will be destroyed one day, and everyone will die. You think you are doing something righteous, but you are just a bunch of short-sighted fools."

What I did was the truly righteous thing; I am the one destined by Heaven!

"Nothing is eternal. The universe is destroyed, but it will also be reborn. Just like if the end of the world cannot be prevented, then we should face it calmly. But what you did was blatant murder."

Tony stepped forward and said.

Jerry waved his hand:

"No need to explain so much to him, just kill him!"

Thanos's statement may not be entirely wrong, nor may Tony's statement be entirely right. Some things are simply a matter of perspective, especially when it involves the fate of the entire universe.

Therefore, no matter how much we argue, it will not lead to any results; the best course of action is to simply kill them.

It's like a great healer is dying, but now all you have to do is kill a fool to bring him back to life.

If the miracle doctor comes back to life, he can save countless patients suffering from incurable terminal illnesses who are waiting for his treatment, and bring happiness to countless families. This is a good thing for most people.

When that fool dies, only his family will be saddened.

How to choose?

No matter what choice you make, it's not necessarily the right one; it all depends on whether you're a family member of someone with intellectual disabilities or a family member of patients.

Of course, this is just Jerry's personal opinion. He wants to protect the Earth and his family and friends, so he wants to kill Thanos, regardless of whether Thanos's ideology is right or wrong.

"Do you think killing me will end all this? You'll regret it if you do.

"If you don't kill me, half the population of your planet will die. But if you kill me, in the end, no one on your planet will survive; you'll all become nourishment!"

As he watched Nebula raise her peerless blade high, Thanos laughed loudly before his head flew off.

"Sizzle!"

With a swift stroke, a large purple head fell to the ground, its expression frozen in that laughter.

What did he mean by that?

Steve frowned; he felt that what Thanos said didn't seem like an exaggeration.

Jerry waved his hand:

"I know what he's talking about. Don't worry, I'll handle that. You just need to manage the Void well. Earth will eventually connect with the universe, and you will be the pioneers in Earth's contact with the universe."

He knew Thanos was referring to the Celestial embryo that was developing on Earth. Once the population of Earth reached a certain size, the embryo would absorb all life on Earth and grow into a true Celestial.

As for the Celestials, that involves issues at the level of a single universe, which Tony and the others cannot interfere with or resolve, so Jerry did not tell them.

However, there's really no need to worry too much, because he's only one step away from reaching the level of a single universe.

Once he reaches the level of a single universe, he will have the leverage to negotiate with the Celestials. Then, if the Celestials want to judge Earth, they will no longer have the power to do so.

"Mr. Divan, look, we've taken care of Thanos for you. Can we now begin to fulfill our previous agreement?"

After defeating Thanos, Jerry led the Avengers to Devan's side.

Seeing this, Di Fan dared not be negligent and quickly smiled and said:

"Of course, but I wonder if Mr. Carmen would be willing to sell me all the Infinity Stones? I can buy them back at five times the previous price."

"Let's forget it. I didn't sell the gems to Mr. Difan for money. I just felt it was inappropriate for me to keep all the gems. It would be better to keep them separately."

But now it seems safer for me to keep it.

Jerry shook his head and refused outright.

Di Fan sighed, a look of disappointment on his face.

There's no way around it, Jerry is just too powerful. Judging from his performance just now, even if he brought in the strongest enforcer among the universe's elders, it would be difficult to forcibly snatch the Infinity Stones from Jerry's hands.

Besides, Jerry isn't Thanos. Thanos destroyed his Nowhere, so he could naturally seek help from other cosmic elders to get justice. But Jerry helped him get rid of Thanos, which is equivalent to helping him vent his anger.

At this moment, because he wanted the other party's Infinity Stones, he asked the cosmic elders for help to steal them, but the other cosmic elders would not agree to that.

So he had no other options but to sigh.

Jerry returned the one trillion cosmic coins that Divan had previously paid him, officially concluding the transaction. According to the laws of the universe, the Void had now become his property.

"Then goodbye, Mr. Carmen!"

After the transaction was completed, Di Fan did not linger. He boarded his spaceship and left the Void with the remaining subordinates.

The Divan Group's main base is the Void, but that doesn't mean they don't have bases on other planets.

Watching Divan disappear completely after passing through the jump point outside the Void, Jerry then ascended into the sky above the Void and began casting magic:

"Restored to its original condition!"

A powerful magical force enveloped the entire Void Land, which had been almost reduced to ruins due to the battle between the two sides. In the blink of an eye, the Void Land was restored to its bustling state when Jerry and his friends first arrived.

"Alright, Tony, you're in charge of the rest!"

After restoring the Void to its original state, Jerry handed it over to Tony to manage completely.

As the wealthiest superhero on Earth, Tony Stark, who owns Stark Industries, is naturally the most suitable person to manage the Void.

He then opened the panel and began to take stock of his most important acquisition—the Little Red Star.

"One billion!"

Looking at the newly added billion red stars on the panel, Jerry's face showed a very satisfied expression.

Now, adding the 500 million he got from dealing with Igor, he has a total of 1.5 billion Little Red Stars. He no longer cares about the small amount.

"Perhaps it's time to read the Dark Tome!"

Looking at the number of little red stars on the panel, Jerry pulled out the Dark Tome that he had always kept in the Ring World and made a decision in his heart.
