"Deities grant their power to humans as a glorious gift, but they do not allow another deity or related person to casually wield their own strength."

It was this realization that led the wizard to relinquish the idea of passing the power of the Six Gods to David.

"Your blood carries the divine, and by my estimate, in as little as ten years or perhaps a few more, the two will repel each other. Like two fierce beasts in a zoo that initially coexist without friction, given time, trouble is inevitable."

David remained silent, deep in thought.

Thanos is the grandson of the Time God Kronos, who was originally the leader of the Eternals. In a catastrophic experiment that destroyed his physical form, his soul merged with the cosmic laws, transforming him into the abstract deity of time.

At that time, Thanos's father A'lars was already born and seemingly unaffected by the incident.

However, the explosion not only benefited Kronos, as other surviving Eternals also gained immense powers.

"Could it be a fusion with the rules? Becoming a divine being?"

David didn't dwell on this question.

The Eternals, or the Eternal Deities, created many aspects of Greek mythology in the Marvel universe, so it's not an exaggeration to call them deities.

The wizard said it could be as short as ten years, which for David was already a considerable length of time.@@novelbin@@

"In ten years, given the current rate of fusion, I fear I will no longer need the power of the Six Gods to enhance my strength."

"Alright, I'm ready to enter hibernation. At last, I can rest."

The wizard prepared to stop forcing himself to stay awake, allowing his aged body, already overwhelmed by the power of the Six Gods, to naturally dissipate.

David showed no reaction, knowing that the wizard would not die but instead find release from millennia of waiting and searching. His soul, after a period of silence, would transform into a powerful spirit, seldom returning to the mortal realm, free to roam between dimensions.

From then on, the burden of protecting humanity fell on his shoulders.

Between them, the wizard had reason to thank David, for David did not need the power of the Six Gods as urgently, and he could not find anyone else to relieve him of his burden.

Whoosh!
