Never been so close to death, never so truly experienced the horror that comes with death.

Frozen in place, Doom couldn't believe that he was scared.

Fear from the bottom of my heart... Drove him to say things he would never have said before.

It's not thoughtful, it's instinctive, it's from the deep subconscious.

At that moment, he subconsciously thought... Ivan is a god!

Even he no longer thinks that the Ivan in front of him is a living being, but a 'death incarnate', a destroyer above all else!

Brain... It's as stiff as his cheeks.

He saw Ivan smiling at him.

"It counts."

"It's... Dumbfounded—" Dum muttered dumbfounded.

"Of course."

No one has yet recovered from the shock.

Susan stroked her long hair and sat down on the ground, feeling her legs a little weak.

She thought it was her problem, but she didn't know that no one... At least in the First Inner Universe, no one can resist the oppressive forces of an entire dimension.

That's it... Ivan is gone, taking Dom with him ... A man who would have covered the sky with one hand here in the future.

...

Next.

The Temple, Dom felt like he was in a mess, and he was assigned to Thanos by Ivan to manage.

As for the 'Cosmic Balance Project' itself, Doom is skeptical.

Doom himself didn't know why he joined Ivan, he stepped on the metal corridor of the ship... Think about why you did it.

Compromising to survive?

No, Doom does not allow himself to be called greedy for life and afraid of death, he thinks that he is different, he is not a villain who is afraid of death.

- Then why did I, why did I become someone else's subordinate?

Perhaps, it was just my intuition, just instinct telling me that it was the right choice.

- This is the only choice that will allow me to do something great in the future.

That earth-destroying power has been deeply imprinted in Doom's memory.

- Perhaps, following him, I can open up more of the world, and I even have the opportunity... Gain the same power as him.

Doom comforted himself so much, and at this moment he warned himself that he would not live forever!

...

Time flies, and a while passes.

Interior of Stromboli Volcano.

Ivan, who had heard that bathing in hot springs was comfortable and good for his health, came here.

The hot molten lava flowed between the rock formations, and Ivan stripped off his clothes and sank his whole body into it...

Wow~!

Suddenly... Ivan, who only showed one head, had a comfortable face.

"It's so comfortable, it's nice to come once in a while!"

Ivan muttered to himself, only the necklace and the Infinity Watch still hung on his chest.

Psionic energy automatically insulates a certain amount of magma from high temperatures, adjusting the temperature to the extreme comfortable temperature of the human body.

Ivan took out the quantum entanglement phone from the space gem, intending to see if he had received a report from any company today.

In terms of spirits, there is no problem, Master Andrew takes care of the orderly order, which has brought stable income to the Jones Group.

There is no problem with the game hall, and now Ivan's game hall has expanded to two, one of which is managed by Wanda and Quicksilver, and the original one is managed by Bullseye and Little Cora.

However, the performance of the game hall may have declined significantly due to the gradual change of the times.

The gallery is now officially in the hands of Loki, but this thing is very unserious, and every once in a while he promotes magic through his fan channels and performs his magic shows in the gallery, making a lot of money!

In addition, Loki is now out of the book, a comic book, and currently has four single volumes, namely "The Strongest God V1", "The Strongest God V2", "The Evil God V1", "The Hulk Who Will Tremble in the Face of God", and the sales are currently tepid.

Ivan's gallery has become one of the channels through which he sells his comic books!

Ivan acquiesced, anyway, Loki's own people... Just be happy.

As the main income of the Jones Group, the fruit industry is currently booming.

The surrounding area of New York, as well as several large states in the United States, has been almost monopolized by Ivan.

But Ivan did not set a high price for fruit because of his 'monopoly position', on the contrary, Ivan also used his 'monopoly position' to lower the price slightly for the benefit of people.

He took into account that not everyone is financially well-off, and there are still quite a few people struggling at the poverty line.

This move ushered in a good reputation for Ivan.

Ivan and Ultron aim to be all over the world, and the progress of the fruit industry is only a small step in the process.

Operating the quantum entanglement phone, Ivan discovers that Thanos has not reported any information to him.

This is normal, Thanos is a talent in his own right, and he will not bother Ivan if there is nothing particularly important.

Thanos thinks he can fix everything.

(????) All right... Continue to enjoy the hot springs~!

...

On the other hand.

While Ivan was taking a warm bath with lava... A big event is taking place in faraway Norway.

...

The sea is calm and beautiful, and the sky is blue.

Odin stands by the sea... Dressed in brown and yellow cloth, he didn't move.

He was looking at the sea, and standing beside him were Frigga the queen of heaven and Thor the god of thunder.

"Father, how did you get here?"

Saul asked suspiciously, "And Mother... You guys..."

"Thor..."

Odin spoke slowly: "Your mother and I have already discussed, and now it's up to you." ”

"Discussed? What have you discussed? Thor asked, confused.

"Ragnarok."

Odin said: "Inevitably, prophecy is prophecy, it will happen... Child, there are only a limited number of possibilities we can do to prevent it from happening. ”

"You've said that a long time ago."

Thor didn't care much: "A long time ago, you said that Ragnarok was caused by Surtr, and I've solved it now. ”

"Not really." Odin said calmly, "It's all already begun. ”

"You... What do you mean? Thor frowned.

"I've spent my whole life trying to stop her, but my days are running out." Odin said tiredly.

He looked up at the sky: "I can't do anything about her anymore. ”

"Father, who is 'she' you are talking about?" Thor asked curiously.

"Death... Hella. ”

Odin pondered, "My first child, your sister. ”

"What?" Thor looked confused.

"Her ambitions swelled beyond my control."

Odin said, "I can't stop her... So I imprisoned her and locked her up. ”

With that, Odin slowly sat down and sat down on a raised stone.

Frigga glanced at Thor, and the two sat down one after the other.

"Father, is she very good?" Thor asked with a frown.

"Her power comes from Asgard."

Odin looked at the Norwegian sea and said lightly: "Endless." ”

"Whatever she is, we can join forces to stop her, we can face it together..."

"We can't."

Odin interrupted Saul softly, "I'm already on a different path, and after I'm gone... Don't be reckless... My baby... Take care of your mom..."

He smiled... Pointing to the vast sea ahead.

"Go find Ivan... It's just him..."

The aftermath continues... Odin's entire body turned into golden light, floating towards the vast sea like countless golden fireflies.
