Chapter 216: Thanos Dilemma
Chapter 216: Thanos Dilemma
Thanos was originally patiently waiting for destiny's path to unfold.
But before that could happen, a single being with the power of a universe appeared on Earth. It's no wonder Thanos couldn't remain calm.
Thanos felt completely numb.
He couldn't understand how a human, someone he had never heard of before, had already reached the level of a universal entity by the time he discovered them. When he realized this, Thanos was filled with questions.
How could someone reach such heights in just a few years?
Thanos was aware of some extremely powerful races and civilizations, or the offspring of Celestial, whose starting point was very high. However, a human reaching the level of a universal entity was beyond comparison to those godly descendants.
Thanos had never heard of such a thing.
He thought the universe was playing a joke on him.
No matter what, Thanos couldn’t figure it out. Although Thanos wasn't one to obsess over problems, this issue was critical to his plans, so he had to get to the bottom of it.
Thanos was very clear that the future was murky, and Bi Xiao’s existence had already thoroughly impacted his plans for the future.
He had to solve this problem.
But a universal entity was not something Thanos could challenge. The difference in their power was astonishingly vast. When the gap in strength reaches a certain point, any conspiracy or trick is rendered useless.
When the Ancient One and Odin were still around, Thanos behaved himself. Now that someone even more terrifying had appeared, he had to be even more cautious.
In reality, even if Thanos gathered all the Infinity Stones and wore the Infinity Gauntlet, his power would still not be enough to easily erase such a being, as this level could completely resist the power of the stones.
However, Thanos had no idea what this person intended.
A universal entity typically wouldn’t concern itself with things like halving the population of the universe; they would simply ignore it, as it wouldn’t affect them. On the contrary, halving the population might even benefit them.
But Bi Xiao had reached this level as a human, so who knew what he was thinking?
Thanos didn’t want to risk his plan on such uncertainties.
So now, Thanos was genuinely troubled and distressed.
Thanos furrowed his brows, his mind racing.
“Perhaps, I should find a way to test him first?"
This seemed like the best approach.
Nebula looked at her father with a face full of worry, while Gamora’s eyes were flickering with thoughts.
...
In the Heaven realm.
At the summit of White Cloud Peak, a streak of white lightning raced around the mountain, finally stopping in front of the main hall. At that moment, a group of people had arrived at the vast square before the hall.
These people were Thor, Loki, Sif, the Warriors Three of Asgard, and the Hulk.
“Wow, this looks really beautiful.”
“Yes, a very beautiful scene, quite different from Asgard.”
“I like it here very much.”
Sif and the Warriors Three were discussing the place, looking around with eyes full of admiration.
Having lived in the magnificent and solemn palaces of Asgard, seeing such classical beauty and natural scenery with completely different architectural styles was a wonderful experience for them.
Moreover, it was drizzling, creating a hazy atmosphere with the white clouds swirling around.
“A great experience.” Even Thor, a rough man, liked it. Although he didn’t understand what art was, he could feel its charm.
Compared to Thor, Loki liked this place even more.
It felt so elegant, fitting his temperament perfectly. Loki was already contemplating how he would style his palace like this when he took over his brother's throne in the future.
The Hulk didn't care much for details but enjoyed the peaceful and natural feeling.

With a flash of lightning, Pietro appeared in front of everyone: “Hey, guys, do you like my new home?"
Pietro was as excited as someone who had just moved into a new estate, his face full of pride and joy.
“Hey, buddy, I really like this place. Your new home is beautiful. Haha, don’t forget to prepare a room for us. I’ll definitely stay here for a hundred years.” Volstagg walked up to Pietro, patting the white-haired boy on the shoulder, speaking heartily.
“Well, you’d better ask me nicely. Haha.” Pietro was so pleased that he nearly burst with joy.
He also had a floating mountain island all to himself and loved his residence, though it was a bit lonely.
He thought about how he would amaze his future girlfriend with this place.
The more he thought about it, the happier he felt.
“I never imagined that the once-glorious paradise would become history so quickly,” Sif sighed, not just lamenting the rapid fall of Heaven but also the terrifying power of that person.
When she first met Bi Xiao, she was filled with respect but never imagined he would achieve such great feats.
Even in Asgard, such feats were rare.
“It should have been destroyed long ago. Those hypocrites, always pretending to be righteous while being utterly despicable and disgusting,” Volstagg snorted, recalling the past entanglements between Heaven and Asgard, which he remembered clearly.
Even though he wasn’t born at that time.
But Heaven had once betrayed Asgard, doing enough disgusting things to make all Asgardians detest and hate them.
More hypocritical, ruthless, and cunning than demons, yet masquerading as merciful, compassionate, kind, and righteous—just thinking about it made people nauseous.
Thor, Sif, and the others fully agreed.
“Hypocrisy is a mask. Wearing this mask can deceive some ignorant people, but when faced with truly powerful beings, all disguises and hypocrisy are as easily torn as masks,” Loki said, full of depth.
But Thor didn’t give his brother any face, patting Loki and loudly saying, “Loki, you’re the God Of Mischief, don’t act like those hypocrites.”
Loki was instantly flustered by his unscrupulous brother’s words.
