Just as the Avengers and the Planet Eater's heralds were fighting fiercely, Rimuru and Eternity's battle also entered its final stage.
It must be said that Eternity's combat power and combat awareness were truly not to be underestimated.
However, the consciousness space was, after all, Rimuru's home ground, especially with the palace left by the Death Goddess within it.
This was truly going to be the end of Eternity's consciousness clone!
As more and more of Eternity's consciousness was devoured by Rimuru, she finally glimpsed a part of Eternity's true laws.
And when a portion of Eternity's laws, controlled by Rimuru, successfully integrated into the pocket Universe, Eternity no longer had any advantage over Rimuru.
By this point, it was too late even if Eternity wanted to force a breakthrough.
Feeling Rimuru growing stronger with each passing moment, Eternity was already at a loss for words to describe her thoughts.
In Eternity's eyes, Rimuru was simply the biggest bug in this Universe.
In this World, where could there be an existence that could completely control an enemy's skills and laws simply by devouring them?
Not to mention, it was the laws of an existence at her level; this simply defied common sense!
No matter how unwilling, Eternity knew that the tide had turned.
After Eternity's final burst failed to turn the tables, the outcome of this battle was completely decided.
The two simultaneously and tacitly ceased fighting!
Eternity looked at Rimuru, and for the first time, a complex emotion, extremely similar to that of a human, appeared in her eyes.
She never expected that merely occupying a pocket Universe would somehow lead to such a great defeat!
Eternity looked at Rimuru and said, "You've won, but you've also completely lost. We, the five great gods, refer to each other as brothers and sisters. You have successively stolen my and Death's laws, but you will never obtain the laws of Infinity, Oblivion, or the Planet Eater. Your pocket Universe will never evolve into a true great Universe!"
Hearing Eternity's judgment, Rimuru couldn't help but smile.
"Before devouring the Death Goddess's clone, I never thought I would have the chance to obtain the laws of the five great gods. Now, I already have the laws of Death and Eternity. Who can say what the future holds?"
Eternity shook her head, "Young Slime, you do not understand this Universe. Our will is the will of the Universe!"
Rimuru did not waste any more words with Eternity, directly activating Lord of Gluttony to devour Eternity's last consciousness.
Upon completely taking over this consciousness clone of Eternity, Rimuru's consciousness instantly connected with the entire pocket Universe.
The pocket Universe was her; she was the pocket Universe!
At this moment, Rimuru clearly felt that the pocket Universe within her had undergone an unprecedented evolution.
The cosmic heart also gained further significant growth!
Her control over the power of space and time reached an unimaginable level.
For Rimuru, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
As for other energy applications, they were even simpler!
It was like a Dr. looking back at elementary school courses; everything was so easy, and her mom no longer had to worry about her studies!
The progress was so obvious, but Rimuru could also more clearly perceive the flaws in her pocket Universe.
It was still the same old saying: her pocket Universe lacked a fundamental driving force to propel the Universe forward continuously and in cycles.
The Infinity Stones provided some of the infinite true meaning to the pocket Universe, but compared to the complete laws of the Infinity Goddess, that was still far from enough.
Rimuru thought for a moment, then directly devoured the Tesseract and the eye of agamotto one after another.
When the Space Stone integrated, Rimuru's pocket Universe's space instantly became complete and solid.
To give a simple example—
Before the Space Stone integrated, Rimuru's pocket Universe allowed one to tear space as long as they broke through to the God Transformation stage.
But now, without the cultivation of a True Immortal, one's cultivation would shatter the void.
When the laws of the Time Stone integrated, Rimuru's pocket Universe's time laws also became completely perfected.
With the integration of the three Infinity Stones—Mind, Time, and Space—Rimuru's pocket Universe even formed an infinite small cycle.
Although the driving force for the Universe's development was still insufficient, Rimuru truly felt the Universe progressing.
Not only that, Rimuru even felt her internal pocket Universe self-perfecting and self-evolving!
Tens of trillions of years later, the pocket Universe might even give birth to Reality, Power, and Soul Stones.
With the laws of Eternity, Infinity, and Death, the cosmic heart of the pocket Universe also underwent a major transformation.
As the Lord of the Universe, Rimuru felt the cosmic heart's yearning for the first time.
When it completely transforms, Rimuru, as the Lord of the Universe, will also experience an unprecedented great evolution!
Rimuru became unprecedentedly eager for the remaining Infinity Stones, as well as the Planet Eater, Infinity, and Oblivion.
If she could devour them, she would truly break free from her cocoon and become a butterfly!
Rimuru, who had been in seclusion for an unknown period, slowly opened her eyes.
After soaking in the Well of Truth for so long, it was time to leave!
However, the moment Rimuru retracted her Inherent barrier (Inherent Barrier), she sensed the shocking changes on Earth.
New York.
The battle between the Avengers and the Planet Eater's heralds had also completely entered its final decisive moment.
In the battle between Thor and Fire Lord, Thor's chances of winning grew increasingly higher.
Eventually, Fire Lord completely lost the will to contend with Thor, even wanting to just survive until the end.
Fire Lord changed his previous strategy of head-on confrontation with Thor and began to use his ability to elementalize, similar to a Logia Devil Fruit user from One Piece, to engage Thor in a prolonged battle.
He sought no merit, only to avoid fault!
But how could Thor be a pushover?
Even though he failed to hit Fire Lord's physical form many times, he always maintained a calm mind.
Facing Fire Lord, Thor was not like Luffy when he first encountered Smoker.
The intelligence Thor possessed regarding the Planet Eater's four heralds was beyond their imagination.
This brought up Odin's legacy; how could a person as calculating as Odin, who considered the Planet Eater a mortal enemy, not fully collect information on him?
And so, Fire Lord met a tragic end.
After countless failures, Thor successfully found Fire Lord's core after he elementalized, severely wounding Fire Lord in one fell swoop.
Even if Fire Lord wasn't dead, he had completely lost his combat capability.
Fire Lord was defeated!
Similar to Thor's battle, the battle between Hulk and the Tyrant Herald also reached its conclusion.
Hulk's ability to continuously read his rage meter was simply too much of a bug!
If he encountered a mage, or if Hulk's own will restrained him, it would be fine!
But the Tyrant was nothing but pure brute force, precisely the type Hulk liked most.
After a series of devastating blows, the Tyrant Herald was beaten to the point of doubting his existence.
He was also completely defeated!
However, the battle between Captain America, Iron Man, and Stardust was completely different.
Stardust's body was composed of atoms; all of Iron Man and Captain America's methods could only temporarily hold Stardust back, but completely defeating Stardust was utterly impossible.
The most terrifying thing was that Stardust, composed of atoms, could completely infiltrate parts of her body into the enemy's body.
This was like some kind of infectious disease, simply impossible to guard against!
At first, it was fine; Iron Man's nanobots were plentiful enough to barely defend.
But as Iron Man's nanobots rapidly depleted, he became increasingly unable to resist Stardust's infiltration.
In just a short while, Iron Man was even bleeding from all seven orifices.
It was the same for Captain America!
The divine power of Mjolnir would not tolerate any evil.
As soon as Stardust's atoms entered Captain America's body, they would automatically be purged by Mjolnir.
But this purging also caused damage to Captain America's own body!
Captain America was increasingly exhausted!
If Ant-Man hadn't unexpectedly pulled Stardust into the Quantum Realm at a crucial moment, the two would have probably died in the line of duty long ago.
Avengers VS Planet Eater Heralds: The Avengers won a tragic victory!
However, the victorious Avengers felt no joy from their triumph.
If the Planet Eater's four heralds were so difficult to deal with, how powerful must the Planet Eater himself be?
This disparity was simply like an insurmountable chasm
