Marvel Universe.
Thanos sat on the cold throne, his fingers stroking the grooves of the Infinity Gauntlet. When the hymn of "Order" resounded from the universe, he finally came to his senses from his long contemplation.
"Master... The War of the Gods is about to begin." Ebony Maw's voice was trembling a little, and it was unclear whether he was afraid or excited. Ever since the light curtain unfolded in the universe, he rarely took his eyes off it.
"I once made it my plan to destroy half of all life in the universe. If I could accomplish this, I could reduce the overpopulation, save countless worlds from suffering, and maintain the balance of the universe."
"Haha..." Thanos suddenly laughed at himself. He stared quietly at the swarm of insects sweeping across the universe in the light curtain. For a moment, he realized that the plan he had been planning for many years was simply a joke.
The clash of star gods was devoid of any plan; they simply went about their business, one relentlessly breeding, the other relentlessly eating—and these two simple actions effortlessly destroyed two-thirds of the universe. Even [Gluttony] only needed to move his mouth briefly, and billions of galaxies and all life would be completely annihilated.
Proxima Centauri heard the hidden meaning in his master's words and spoke tentatively: "Master, the plan to seize the Infinity Stones..."
"I'm like a child with a toy sword..." Thanos shook his head and slowly took off the Infinity Gauntlet. "There's no need to continue with the plan. My plan can't keep up with the improvisation of the Star Gods. Who knows, one day in the future, new Star Gods will appear, and new disasters will strike. It will be much easier for them to launch a world-wide massacre than it is for us."
Chapter 278 Simulated Universe: Locust Plague (Thirteen)
"The War of the Gods has begun?"
"Xing felt her mind go blank for a moment, and the next second, she appeared in a world devastated by the insect swarm."
"There's an unpleasant, sticky feeling on the soles of my boots—not mud, but some kind of semi-digested organic matter, like the secretions of a swarm of insects that have been chewed, swallowed, and then excreted. It exudes a disgusting, rancid odor."
"Xing quickly asked the Black Tower where she was, but she wasn't there yet."
"She waited there—until a hint of laughter appeared."
"The first golden spark passed by her ear, carrying with it a snicker of triumphant mischief. Then came the second, the third—they gushed out like shaken sparkling wine, exploding into countless jubilant points of light in the air. One of the points brushed against her cheek, and she felt a certain dance in her heart, as if someone was writing a joke directly on her nerve endings with a quill."
"Akivelli!" Aha appeared in a dignified manner. "My Akivelli! Are the dice I gave you fun? I want to ask: How many sides does my dice have?"
"But your dice is a ball." Xing didn't expect that communicating with a star god would be so easy. This was the first time in the simulated universe.
"'Correct answer! I want to knock Taizyuros unconscious with the ball!'" Sparks of joy danced around Xing. Ahab laughed and clapped his hands, his ball and poker hugging each other. "Everything I do is for Taiyi! Ahab has always been willing to help others. Helping other gods is my pleasure—"
"Then He turned His gaze to Xing."
"You won't get involved, fake Akivalli? You won't accept my ideas? About the Star Express and Taizyuros." His gaze held a creepy smile.
"Xing felt the hairs on her back stand on end for a moment. But fortunately, Aha quickly disappeared, and with it the world beneath her feet, leaving only darkness before her."
"You've been dragged in. I need to take precautions." Black Tower's voice.
"Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and the blood that had just frozen began to thaw again."
"In short, the fate of [Fertility] threatens [Exploration]. In this war of the gods, Akivali of [Exploration] may be involved."
-
Cut the red eyes.
"Aha, did you just...see stars?" Marin felt her breathing stop.
She suddenly remembered Sambo's turn back at Yalilo-VI—the guy who should have been a profiteer, but it was as if he had broken through the curtain and spoke to all of them. Thinking back now, every moment was horrifying.
"Hey... you guys, is this the truth?" Leone swallowed his saliva and said a little dryly: "This so-called 'sky curtain' is just a manifestation of Aha's ability? We can see the outside world through the sky curtain, and other worlds can also see us through the sky curtain..."
"Our reaction...is [joy] Ahaha's fun."
The moment the words came out of her mouth, Leona saw that the faces of Tatsumi, Mine and the others turned as pale as paper.
Lubbock's voice trembled slightly. "You're saying... we're like goldfish in a fishbowl, thinking we can observe the outside world through the transparent bowl, but in reality we're just playthings of the room's owner?"
Leone nodded slowly.
"That possibility certainly can't be ruled out." Najeta slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, her tone solemn. "But, Leone... ask yourself, this sky curtain hasn't brought us any harm. The Aha Star God may be amused by us, but this won't stop us from presenting Him with a show of rebellion against the Empire."
"If, as you say, our world is but a drop in the ocean of the universe, then it also means that all of us here have the opportunity to embark on a different destiny and master a power more miraculous than an imperial weapon."
"When our revolution is completely victorious one day and the empire is overthrown, we will also unify our faith and worship a single star god, just like the lonely city of Beloberg in the snow. In this way, we may even receive a glance from the gods."
Nadezhda's words were like a ray of morning light that dispelled the fog, causing the few people who had just been distraught to raise their heads.
"But we also need to understand the history of the universe and determine which Star God is truly worthy of following." Nadezhda looked up at the sky. "So this War of the Gods is crucial to our future choices."

Naruto.
"Ohhh...! This Aha Star God is also planning to help preserve and maintain order and beat up reproduction?!"
Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up, and it was obvious that this kind of group battle scene could really attract his attention.
"Naruto, 'Aha's credibility' is not a good word in the universe. He gave enlightenment to those masked fools. Maybe it was He who made them escape early. In this Star God War, He probably did the same thing as the Fools."
Shikamaru sighed helplessly, "The difference is, one deceives different factions of Star Gods, and the other directly deceives the Star God himself."
Based on his observations of the Masked Fool, these guys often adopt a "chaotic neutral" attitude in disputes. They will not try to extinguish the flames of the dispute, but will find ways to make the flames burn bigger and bigger, preferably to let the entire universe burn.
They danced in the flames, and even if the fire burned their bodies, they all died with a smile on their faces.
...a bunch of lunatics who are difficult to reason with.
However, through this communication between Xing and Him, he unexpectedly felt that [Joy] and [Exploration] were both the kind of gods who could communicate and were talkative. Although the former regarded humans and even the universe as a pleasure, it was at least within the scope of communication.
[Greed] and [Reproduction] were different. They acted completely on instinct, and he couldn't even tell whether these two star gods possessed intelligence.
"Judging from the results, at least Aha has added a general to the forces of [Cunhu]," said Naruto.
"What Aha wants is never the ending, but the dramatic process."
Shikamaru stared intently at the sky, recalling the 'revelation' spoken by the masked fools, and finally came to a conclusion: "In my opinion, Aha will not only drag Tuo down, but will also drag more and more star gods into this war of gods. He wants this flame to burn throughout the universe."
Chapter 279 Simulated Universe: Locust Plague (14)
"Okay, the protection is complete, you can continue to communicate with Aha. But now He has probably disappeared, you must wait here." The black tower chuckled, "If you can smile more, it will probably be easier to wait for Him."
"Laugh? Xing tried to force a smile—but it was like a dead fish turning over its belly, a half-dead, funny feeling."
"Finally, when Xing's eyes were about to roll up to the sky, He—finally arrived! His appearance unleashed a massive storm of false data, enveloping Xing."
“Hey, Akivali! You played that ball really well~” Ahab started to brag, “You are a master at playing with the ball. Can you tell me who made this ball? Oh…wait, He is coming. Let us give way to the great Him first—applaud and salute!”
"He's coming? What does that mean?" Xing was confused by Aha for a moment, but Heita made a silent expression on the side, "Quiet! Xing, the big one is coming!"
"A ray of light shines into the dark world."
"Xing felt her vision disintegrate—not shattered, but like a chord being split apart, each optic nerve began to receive a different spectrum of light. She saw the air cracking into colorful lines, and from those cracks emerged not light, but the embodiment of a more fundamental 'concept of harmony.'"
"It's [Harmony]...Hippie!" Black Tower couldn't help but let out a surprised cry."
"His body seemed a patchwork of countless silhouettes of civilizations: one moment a chorus of millions of lips, the next a matrix of synchronized pendulums. His fingertips rippled the rainbow, and the myriad harmonies became flowing glazes across the torso of the Harmonious Star God."
"Akivelli / Is that you? We thought you were dead / missing. Thousands of destinies / histories have shaped the growth / direction of the universe. We almost believe / judge that you have become its footnote / nourishment."
"Hippe...! You really have many faces!"
"Oh, Mother of Cluster Stars!" Ahab began to praise, his words making Xing feel uncomfortable. "As long as what you want to do is fun enough - even if it's a baton game! The situation changes so quickly. One time we were negotiating, the next time Taiyi has become you. A pity... my old friend! But he makes you look better."
"Okay... stop for a moment. I'm not surprised that Order was assimilated by Harmony," Black Tower spread his hands. "I just don't know when it happened. Could the disappearance of Order also be related to the War of the Gods? Alas, the family hasn't said a word about this... I really want to see Taiyi again, even if He's a bit rigid. Anyway, Xipei, Aha, and you are all entangled together for Taiziyulos!"

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Moonlight filtered through the beams of the Infinite Castle, cutting the long corridor into a cage of light and darkness. Douma walked towards Akaza with a brisk pace. Since the adult left, the two Upper Moons had not spoken to each other for decades.
"Lord Akaza~" Douma's voice was as sticky as honey. "The true Supreme has appeared. That lord chose [Abundance]—but judging by the results of this war of the gods, it seems there is something more suited to our existence than [Abundance]?"
Akaza's back was to him, the blue tattoo glowing faintly in the darkness. He didn't turn around, but said coldly, "Get lost."
Douma was unfazed. He unfurled his golden fan and swiftly leaped to Akaza's side, his eyes filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and excitement. "[Harmony]... Lord Akaza, this destiny suits us well."
He looked up at the sky, his pupils dilated to the limit - when his eyes met the sacred "Him", colorful vortices began to flow in Douma's irises, and his fingertips began to spasm uncontrollably... That was the purest madness of a believer.
"Did you see that? Lord Akaza!"
Douma excitedly scratched his cheeks, his sharp nails leaving bloody marks on his pale face, which healed the next second. "This is the ultimate harmony! All sounds will eventually return to one melody! Even the ancient [Order] is assimilated by Him... returning to true eternity."
"What do you want to say?" Akaza finally turned around, his cold eyes looking at a piece of garbage. "Is there any connection between us and [Tongxie]?"
"Of course~" Douma happily walked around to the front of Akaza. "[Harmony] consumes [Order], which is considered assimilation. And us consuming humans, isn't that also a form of assimilation? We integrate the weak humans into our bodies, bringing them into harmony. Does this count as...harmony?"
"...boring." Akaza squinted at him, "You believe in [Harmony] and dare to go against the ideas of that adult. I can now-"
"Aiya~ Lord Akaza, don't rush to judge." Douma continued with his innocent yet disgusting smile, "I have already reported this to the adults. I plan to reopen a cult under the name of [Tongxie] and use the name of [Tongxie] to attract people to join. If Lord Akaza is interested, you can come to me~"
"I know that Lord Akaza doesn't like to eat women and children. I will give all the adult men to you. How about that?"
Akaza's fist pierced Douma's chin in an instant.
The sound of bones breaking was particularly clear in the silent corridor. Douma's head tilted back at an incredible angle, his shattered jaw hanging with bloody fragments of flesh. Yet his laughter remained unchanged, even more excited than before.
"Ah~" Douma's voice was squeezed out from the broken larynx, with a bubbling tremor, "You are still so enthusiastic..."
Akaza retracted his fist. He stared at Douma's broken but still smiling face, his eyes full of disgust: "Don't mix your perverted hobby with mine."
Douma's wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. He tilted his head, a hint of regret flickering in his eyes: "Well, then~ I'll invite you next time when there's a suitable opportunity."
-
"The fight hasn't even started yet, and Order Taichi is gone?" Xing's eyes widened.
"Well, not only Order, but Greed also disappeared during this period. For unknown reasons, he left the war between the gods." Black Tower shook his head. "That's another unsolved mystery in this period of history."
"It's really a bargain for Him to leave after eating."
“After the disappearance of Order, several worlds protected by Kripa recorded that their sun had disappeared, and a statue entwined in the shape of twins appeared from the sky, a harbinger of a long night…”
Chapter 280 Simulated Universe: Locust Plague (15)
"The Black Tower suddenly fell silent. Xing noticed her simulated image fluttering lightly. She stared at a vague silhouette generated by the simulation, hesitant to speak."
"That silhouette lies in the depths of the universe, where even the light of the stars cannot reach. Its form seems to linger between illusion and reality... Only through the radiance of the stars can the amber on its wrist be glimpsed."
"He's waving something."
"That thing—if you can still use the word 'thing'—torn and shattered something with every swing. Xing felt his consciousness being forcibly stretched, forced to comprehend that incomprehensible trajectory: not up and down, not left and right, but a movement that transcended three dimensions and defied common sense."
"The light of the stars twisted around him, forming strange vortexes, like sparks flying from an anvil struck by a giant hammer. His hammer fell, but it was not the loud noise that shook the earth, but the silent whimpering of the thing beneath the hammer. Xing vaguely felt that there was a kind of laughter in that sound, or a symphony of thousands of voices..."
"Xing reached out and touched her cheek. Something seemed to have splashed on her face... It didn't feel good."
-
The Valkyrie of the End.
"Hey, that thing in the depths of the universe... should be Creeper, right?" The God of War Ares swallowed his saliva and looked up in astonishment at the shadow that covered countless galaxies.
He struggled to describe Klipper's "presence" with simple words. Although Xing had been briefly caught in his gaze in Beloberg—and the gods in the lounge had been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of his body—the feeling then was completely different from now. Klipper now... even from far beyond the sky, they could feel the rage carried within his hammer.
Although they were called gods by mortals, they could not understand His voice at all! As the giant hammer fell, the gods seemed to understand something, but they immediately forgot it in the tremor of the next hammer... In the end, only a primitive, animal-like tremor remained.
Hades' shoulders tensed as he stared intently at the shadow in the sky, his lips turning pale from biting his teeth. "Is he... building a wall? Is he trying to use it to keep out the swarm of [breeding] insects?"
"No...that's not right. He is not building a wall, but hammering something." Shakya's voice was very soft. He moved his eyes away from the sky and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Outside the window, a cherry blossom petal drifted down among the blossoms. Shakya followed it, noticing the slow fluttering of a butterfly perched on a branch—the rhythm was natural and harmonious, as if awakening from a dream of reproduction. Farther away, the ants resumed their usual routine, gradually emerging from their nest in search of food.
"…It's the breeding! The breeding is gone!"
Shiva suddenly realized and pointed at the insects outside the window and shouted excitedly.
"I see. So, was 'He's' just now battling against [Reproduction]?" Zeus realized this belatedly, his expression somewhat disappointed. He had imagined the battle between the Star Gods would be a magnificent spectacle, but the reality was that they weren't even qualified to enter and watch.
They could only "feel" the changes brought about by the war of gods from afar.
"Old man, don't feel sorry. We can't see this level of battle with our naked eyes, so we should be thankful."
Loki toyed with the dagger in his hand, a playful smile curling his lips. "Back then, when a Destroyer shattered the stars, the radiant light blinded countless gods. Now, with one blow from the Star God himself, the aftermath alone will destroy countless galaxies. And you still want to watch that grand spectacle... Old man, if you're not afraid of death, don't drag us into this."
Zeus thought about it carefully and it seemed to make some sense.
"Everyone, although the bugs outside have been freed from [Reproduction], is the [Reproduction] Star God really dead?" Susanoo suddenly asked.
"Oh? Why do you ask?" Shiva looked at him in confusion.
"Think carefully. This war of the gods seems to be much simpler than we imagined. Although there are many Star Gods involved, it seems that the only ones who truly played a decisive role were Krippo's hammers."
Susanoo looked up at the sky. "Although the simulated universe can be accelerated, how long did this divine war last? Five minutes? Ten minutes? We don't even know if the Star God of [Fertility] resisted. I don't underestimate the power of [Preservation], but I also absolutely cannot believe that a Star God capable of bringing disaster to the universe would die so lightly."
