Chapter 433 Cosmic Covenant

Just as Thor was about to swing the Thunderbolt and unleash the fatal blow that would completely destroy Thanos, the sky suddenly darkened, as if a thick layer of dark clouds quickly enveloped the entire battlefield. The air was filled with an ancient and majestic atmosphere, as if the power between heaven and earth had suddenly changed dramatically at this moment.

A brilliant golden light descended from the sky, piercing through the heavy dark clouds and falling directly between Thor and Thanos. The golden light was like the radiance of the sun, instantly dispelling the darkness and coldness around them. As the golden light descended, a figure slowly emerged. It was a tall and majestic figure, shrouded in golden light, holding the Spear of Eternity, with endless wisdom and power in his eyes.

"Father..." Thor's voice sounded extremely low at this moment, with a hint of surprise and confusion.

The man who came was Odin, the father of the gods of Asgard and one of the most powerful beings in the universe. His eyes were calm and deep, as if he could see through everything. His body exuded an extremely powerful divine power, and the surrounding space seemed to become more stable and solemn because of his existence.

Odin slowly walked between Thor and Thanos, his gestures full of unquestionable majesty. He raised the Spear of Eternity in his hand, and golden light condensed on the tip of the spear, as if the whole world was under his control. Thanos felt this overwhelming aura, and his face changed slightly.

"Thor, stop." Odin's voice was deep and majestic, as if carrying an irresistible force. He looked at his son, his eyes full of wisdom and deep thought, "This battle has come to an end. Continuing will only bring endless destruction."

Thor's hand trembled slightly, and the power of the Thunder Lance gradually subsided. A trace of confusion and struggle flashed in his eyes, as if he was trying to restrain his inner anger and fighting spirit. But in the face of Odin's unquestionable order, he finally chose to obey.

"Father..." Thor's voice was filled with reluctance and doubt, "Thanos' crimes are unforgivable. He has brought too much pain and destruction. Why should we let him go?"

Odin's eyes remained calm. He shook his head gently, his tone full of wisdom and tolerance. "Thor, precisely because his crimes are so serious, we cannot let anger blind our eyes. True power lies not in destruction, but in control. We must end this with wisdom and reason, not brute force and hatred."

Thanos still stood there, with complex emotions flashing in his purple eyes. He looked at Odin, as if thinking about something. His hands were slightly clenched, and the surrounding death and dark energy were still surging in his body, but he did not choose to attack again.

Odin turned his gaze to Thanos, his tone carrying an irresistible majesty, "Thanos, this battle ends here. You must pay for your crimes, but this is not the end of you today. The balance of the universe should not be disrupted by a moment of anger. Today's decision will be determined by the laws of the universe."

Thor took a deep breath and finally put down the Thunderbolt. His eyes were still full of fighting spirit and unwillingness, but he knew that Odin's decision was unshakable. Loki stood aside, the sarcasm and expectation on his face disappeared, replaced by a complex emotion, and he also did not make any further comments.

Odin stood in the center of the battlefield, his eyes swept over the crowd, his voice low and with irresistible majesty: "Three Sisters of Fate, come forward." His words seemed to carry some ancient power, penetrating the noise of the battlefield and directly summoning the gods who controlled the fate of the universe.

After hearing Odin's words, Thor and Loki looked at each other, frowning slightly, with obvious confusion in their eyes. They couldn't understand why Odin summoned the three sisters of fate at this time, and Thanos was also full of confusion. His purple eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Odin, as if waiting for an answer.

After a while, the three sisters of fate slowly appeared, and their appearance seemed to bring peace and eternity to the universe. Clotho held the spindle of fate, Lachesis held the scissors of fate, and Atropos guarded the spinning wheel of fate. Their figures were elegant and mysterious, and the air around them seemed to become solemn and dignified because of their arrival.

Odin stared at the three sisters of fate and said solemnly, "In the early days of the universe, the gods made an ancient covenant to ensure the balance and order of the universe. The core of this covenant is the thread of fate controlled by you three sisters. Today, I summon you to witness and execute this covenant."

Thanos listened to Odin's words, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. He tilted his head slightly, and his gaze turned from the three sisters of fate to Nathan Hawke standing in the distance. He was a man he had never seen before, but from the breath emanating from him and the breath of death leaving him, he could feel the power of the other party that should not be underestimated.

Thanos slowly withdrew his gaze, a trace of helplessness and loneliness appeared on his face. He sighed and whispered to Odin: "It seems that I have come to the end, Odin. I will fulfill my promise, leave this dispute, find a distant planet, and no longer ask about the affairs of the universe... I will go back... to farm."

Thor was shocked when he heard Thanos' words. He had never thought that this tyrant who once dominated the universe would choose to retire and live such an ordinary life. All this made him feel unbelievable and absurd.

Loki also felt the heaviness and helplessness in Thanos' words, and a hint of surprise and complex emotions flashed in his eyes. A strong man like Thanos would have such a change, which made Loki look sideways. Then, he raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with his usual sarcasm: "Thanos, I didn't expect you to have such a pastoral dream? It's really refreshing."

Odin looked at Thanos calmly, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Thanos, the "balance" of the universe needs people like you to protect it. However, fighting violence with violence is never the only way to solve problems. Farming may be your new beginning, and it is also an option."

Loki then responded with a hint of frivolity in his tone: "Yes, Thanos, perhaps in the countryside, you can find something more interesting than destroying the universe."

Thanos looked at Loki coldly, and said in a low but firm tone: "Loki, don't think that I have really let it go. It's just... the universe has given me too many "lessons", and I need time to think."

Clotho, one of the three sisters of fate, gently stroked the spindle in her hand, her voice soft and with an irresistible power: "Thanos, your fate has come to a fork in the road. Today's decision will affect the future of the entire universe. We will witness your choice, but the thread of fate will no longer be entangled with you."

Lachesis nodded slightly, with a distant insight in his tone: "Thanos, perhaps on that distant planet, you can find what you have been pursuing, but please remember that the power of fate is not something you can easily escape."

Atropos gently turned the wheel of fate with his hands, and his voice echoed like a whisper: "Every choice has its price, Thanos, you have made your decision, and the rest will be left to time to witness."

Then, Odin's eyes slowly moved to Nathan Hawke, with a hint of gentle invitation and deep thought in his eyes. He nodded gently, motioning Nathan Hawke to come closer. Nathan Hawke noticed Odin's gaze and slowly walked to the center of the battlefield. The atmosphere around him seemed to become more solemn because of his arrival.

Loki nodded slightly with a playful smile on his face, "Nathan, long time no see." His voice was frivolous and full of his usual sarcasm, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Thor's reaction was more direct. A delighted smile appeared on his face. The Thunder Spear in his hand dropped slightly. He walked towards Nathan Hawke and patted him on the shoulder. His voice was full of friendship and gratitude. "Nathan, you are here! Thank you for joining us at this critical moment."

Thanos's eyes were more complicated. His purple eyes stared at Nathan Hawke, and a hint of subtle respect and recognition flashed in his eyes. He didn't say much, but just nodded slightly and signaled Nathan Hawke with his eyes.

Nathan Hawke stood among the crowd with a hint of calmness in his eyes. He responded with a smile one by one and nodded slightly to Loki. Then he turned to Thor and patted Thor on the shoulder, his eyes full of deep friendship. Finally, he turned his gaze to Thanos and nodded slightly, with understanding in his tone.

Odin saw Nathan Hawke greet everyone one by one, then turned to look at the three sisters of fate, with unquestionable majesty and contemplation in his eyes. At Odin's signal, the three sisters of fate slowly walked forward, and the fate spindles, scissors and spinning wheels in their hands seemed to dance with their steps, making a slight humming sound. The eyes of Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos were like ancient stars, with a mystery and power that could not be ignored.

Odin nodded slightly, signaling the three sisters of fate to start the covenant. They looked at each other, Clotho's fingers gently stroked the spindle of fate, Lachesis's scissors drew a graceful arc in the air, and Atropos's spinning wheel turned gently, as if time and fate were rewoven at this moment.

The voices of the three sisters of fate were deep and distant, as if coming from the depths of the universe. Their low hums echoed in the air, like an ancient melody, with an irresistible mysterious power. Clotho spoke first, her voice like a whisper in the wind, with a faint echo:

We are the weavers of fate, weaving the threads of life. The fate of the heavens and the earth, the fate of the stars, are all intertwined in our hands. "

Then, Lachesis's voice was as smooth and gentle as flowing water, but full of majesty that could not be violated:

"We are the ones who decide fate, holding the power of life and death. The flow of time and the cycle of life are all divided by our scissors."

Finally, Atropos' voice was low and deep, like the hum of the earth, with an irresistible power:

"We are the determiners of fate and keepers of the wheel of order. Light and dark, beginning and end, all meet in our spinning wheel."

Their voices intertwined in the air, forming a strange harmony, as if the thread of fate was woven, cut, and fixed in their spells. As the spells were chanted, the air around them seemed to become more solemn, the flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment, and everything was shrouded by the power of fate.

Just as the thread of fate was about to be concluded, Nathan Hawke suddenly raised his head and asked with a little confusion, "Odin, doesn't the Ancient One need to participate in this contract?"

Odin smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, and his tone was calm and firm, "The Ancient One is a very special existence in the universe. He has transcended the constraints of fate. His existence itself is a kind of eternal protection. This kind of contract does not exist for him, nor is it necessary."

After hearing this, Nathan Hawke nodded slowly, as if he understood the answer. He looked at the three sisters of fate again, ready to accept this ancient covenant between the universe. At the same time, Odin, Thor, Loki and Thanos were also silently waiting for the thread of fate to weave the contract between them into shape, and their destinies were deeply intertwined at this moment.
