"Thanos!" Ares was not surprised. Instead, he calmly looked at the newcomer and said, "You are not admiring the failure of your Son of Thanos army from your throne. How dare you come to Mount Olympus?"
Thanos smiled and said, "In this magnificent palace, Olympus has everything that mortals want. Ares, as a god, why are you so dissatisfied? Zeus had no choice but to ground you in this splendid palace. What exactly is it that makes everything here so unattractive to you that you would rather hang out with mortals? "
Ares sneered. "Thanos, you didn't come here just to tell me this, did you?"
Thanos said, "I'm just pointing out a fact. War, Ares, you are longing for war and killing. You are a god of war, but Zeus grounded you in this boring place. You should belong on the battlefield … like Thor of Asgard … "
"Thor!" Ares' face was gloomy. He said with jealousy, "Odin favors him so much. And my father will only trap me here! "
Thanos sighed. "I brought you war!"
"Zeus will never allow me …" Ares stood up angrily.
Thanos interrupted him. "My coming here has already shown Zeus's attitude. You know, without his tacit approval, I can't be here. This time, my target is the Midgard of the Nine Worlds, Midgard. Ares, you are free! "
Ares smiled. He looked at Thanos, revealing his sharp teeth. "Has our king gone mad? He has always forbidden me from provoking those false gods of Asgard. That lecherous old man is afraid of that crazy woman Hila. "
Ares recalled the past and sighed. "The Nine Worlds, that was our homeland."
"Back then, your Titan race was the most powerful. Olympus, Vanir, Nine Pillars, and Asgard ruled the solar system together with humans, elves, dwarves, and giants. At that time, the Nine Worlds were called the Nine Worlds, and the Titans were the well-deserved rulers of the Nine Worlds. However, when the Titans were at their strongest, the Apocalypse destroyed everything."
"Only you, the last Titan, were left to hide in the universe, not daring to take a single step into the Nine Worlds."
"Then, under the leadership of that crazy woman, Odin and Hila, the Asgard Gods expelled the Dark Elves, suppressed the Elves and Dwarves, and started a war with the Giants. At the same time, they exiled us and the Nine Pillar Gods and merged with the Vanir Gods to become the Asgardians. From then on, Odin became the ruler of the Nine Worlds, replacing the divine authority of the Titans."
"It's a pity that I wasn't born in that era!" Ares licked his lips and said excitedly.
Thanos smiled and said, "But when Asgard's theocracy declined, Olympus had quietly grown stronger. When Odin started the war, Olympus was still the king of gods, the king of the sea, and the king of hades. Among the new twelve gods, only Apollo was still young. But now, with you, Athena, even Hercules, Olympus is full of talent. Odin, on the other hand, was already old, and Thor couldn't handle it alone. At that time, Hela, the Goddess of Death, was feared by Odin and imprisoned in Asgard. "
"Asgard's theocracy has long been unstable!"
Ares raised his battle axe and revealed a bloody and ferocious smile. "Then, as you wish. I will join this war. But Thanos, the condition is that you help me challenge Asgard's theocracy. "
Thanos said calmly, "I will … and I have good news for you. Hela, who was imprisoned by Odin, may not be willing to be lonely. Perhaps the Twilight of the Gods of Asgard in the prophecy is coming … "
"Asgard has long been destined to be my enemy." Thanos smiled cruelly. "Your help may not be enough. I still have to convince a few helpers."
Ares said disdainfully, "Odin is old! Only Thor is left. Are you looking down on my strength? "
"Thor can't be underestimated, and the Midgardians also have some extraordinary people … What's more, the Nine Worlds still have something like the Apocalypse. It's not that simple to get the six Infinity Stones that have fallen in the Nine Worlds and launch a war that will sweep the universe, "Thanos said.
"Pick him up. Who are you going to find?" Ares walked out of the Temple of the Gods of War and laughed presumptuously when he found that Zeus really didn't stop him.
Thanos calmly popped out a name — "Mephisto!"
"That old demon full of sulfur?" Ares said contemptuously. "He's a schemer who only knows how to plot behind the scenes."
Mephisto, as the contractor between demons and mages, was a demon that lured humans to fall. He was famous for many of his works, all of which lured the souls of fallen humans. Among them, the most famous was the contractor known as Ghost Rider. He used to be the God of Mages, and in the world of mages, the European magic world represented by the London Sanctum had long relied on the power of the contract.
Until the Supreme Mage Ancient One formed a trinity of Argonaut, Hogos, and Ohit called "Wilshendi", and established a new magic system.
The European mages, who no longer had to sell their souls, quickly abandoned Mephisto.
This was also one of the few times this great demon failed in the human world, so it desired the soul of the Ancient One.
When Mephisto appeared in front of Thanos, it was not a terrifying demon, but a middle-aged man with a thin body, a slightly hunched back, and a hooked nose, with a mocking smile on his face.
"I know you're trying to maintain the great balance," Mephisto praised. "You're a sacrifice, Thanos."
"But I won't help you for nothing!" Mephisto pondered for a moment. "I want the soul of the Ancient One!"
Thanos did not hesitate to betray this powerful mage he had heard of. He said readily, "No problem, as long as the Eye of Argonaut falls into my hands smoothly, your wish will be fulfilled."
"I will lend you a hand when the time is right." Mephisto was cynical and tempting, but he did not lose his calm, deep, and harmonious wit. At least when Thanos was exchanging terms with him, it was very easy. Demons were always like this. Before signing a contract, they could always make you calm and relaxed, but when it came to executing the contract, it was another matter.
As Mephisto said himself, "I am the spirit of eternal negation! Everything, as long as it is born, will naturally be destroyed, so it is better for nothing to happen. You call this destruction and crime. To put it simply, it's evil. This is my intrinsic nature. "
There were not many people Thanos wanted to contact next. After obtaining the promise of the Lord of Chaos and the King of Order, he opened a passage to the Dark Plane, where he met his third ally, Dormammu.
Dormammu, who was greedy for the earth, did not hesitate to agree to Thanos' request to form an alliance. With the tacit approval of Zeus, the Olympian King, Ares, Mephisto, Dormammu, and the help of the three emissaries under Swallower Star, a destructive alliance against the Nine Worlds was formally formed.
They each had their own interests. Olympus wanted to recapture the divine authority of the Nine Worlds, Swallower Star and Thanos wanted to maintain the balance, Dormammu wanted to get the earth, and Mephisto wanted to maintain the balance in the underworld, and at the same time, get the soul of the Ancient One that it had been plotting for a long time.
