Chapter 189

"Daigo, we couldn't find you anywhere at headquarters when we deployed. How did you end up here?"

Captain Munakata approached, his gaze sternly fixed on Daigo, waiting for an explanation.

"I…"

Daigo faltered under Munakata's intense stare, feeling a surge of panic. He couldn't exactly say that he transformed into Tiga and arrived to contain an alien threat. There would be far too much to explain.

Just as Daigo struggled for words, terrifying screams and beast-like howls suddenly echoed around them.

"What's happening?"

Rena was startled by the sudden noise, quickly glancing around. What she saw would be etched into her memory forever.

The recently freed captives had suddenly turned feral, attacking each other with a crazed frenzy, biting off chunks of flesh from one another in a gruesome feast.

"What's going on? Why are they suddenly eating each other?!"

Hori, horrified, shouted in confusion.

"Call the police immediately! We need to find a way to contain these people!"

Despite his shock, Captain Munakata quickly regained composure, directing everyone to subdue the crazed individuals.

"Damn it, the skull's influence hasn't ended."

Daigo looked down at the Wendigo Skull in his hands, feeling a surge of anger. Why couldn't even Tiga destroy this thing? Could there really be containment objects so dangerous that even an Ultraman couldn't defeat them?

The thought made Daigo's face turn pale, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Daigo! What are you doing? Get over here and help!"

Shinjo, noticing Daigo's hesitation, shouted urgently.

"Right! I'm coming!"

Snapping back to reality, Daigo joined his team to help contain the crazed people.

As the scene unfolded on-screen, viewers from different worlds voiced their opinions.

Nami: "This is terrifying… People eating each other? Disgusting!"

Robin: "A twisted, infectious curse."

Mei: "Is there any way to save these people? They've really been infected by the skull."

A: "The video mentioned earlier that once infected, there's no saving them."

Naruto: "What do we do then? We can't just let these people go on like this!"

Nobita: "Doraemon, do you have any way to help?"

Doraemon: "I did receive a reward—a counter-meme machine—that might work. I'm not sure if any of my other gadgets would."

Thanos: "How foolish to debate this. There's only one solution."

At the appearance of this unfamiliar name, everyone paused.

Thanos: "The only solution is to kill them. Anything else will only lead to further chaos."

Rogers: "Who are you? How can you be so heartless?"

The Ancient One: "Heartless isn't the word. He's a demon who aspires to wipe out half the universe's population."

Sion: "What?! Wipe out half the universe? What does that even mean?"

Thanos: "Precisely what it sounds like. I will be the savior of all, eliminating half of the universe to give it new life."

Odin: "So you're the Mad Titan? I warn you, stay away from the Nine Realms, or you'll meet your end!"

Thanos: "Is that so? I've already acquired the Mind Stone and Power Stone. With the Infinity Gauntlet granted by this screen, I can harness their full potential. Even against you, King of the Nine Realms, I would remain undefeated!"

Thor: "How dare you disrespect my father! If I find you, I swear I'll—"

Loki: "Thor, you'd do well to stay quiet, given your situation."

Thor, who had been preparing to defend his father, slumped back into silence at Loki's pointed comment, taking a drink instead.

The Ancient One: "I never thought you'd already acquired two Infinity Stones."

Tony Stark: "Wait, what are these Infinity Stones? Power Stone, Mind Stone—are they some kind of magical artifacts?"

The Ancient One: "It's time to explain. When our universe was born, six singularities appeared, crystallizing into what we call the Infinity Stones. Each Stone possesses unimaginable power."

The Ancient One continued, "Power, Mind, Space, Time, Reality, and Soul. The Power Stone is the universe's greatest strength, capable of shattering stars—even the sun is no match.

The Mind Stone controls the will of any creature, bending them to the user's desire. The Space Stone manipulates space, the Time Stone commands time, the Reality Stone alters reality itself, and the Soul Stone is bound to the essence of life, though its true power remains unclear."

"If this madman collects all six Stones, he only needs to snap his fingers to fulfill any wish he desires, including his plan to eliminate half of all life in the universe."

The explanation left everyone in stunned silence.

Earthlings from the Marvel Universe were especially shocked, having never imagined such terrifying artifacts existed within their universe.

In a hidden realm within the Saint Seiya LC Universe…

Yoma watched the screen with intrigue.

"Commanding time… An affront to the god of time. But these universes—they're all new to me. And what is this screen? Could my brother be behind it? He's never cared for containment objects or universal crises. It seems there's much I don't know."

Watching the screen with interest, Yoma considered it might even inspire ideas for his theatrical productions.

Sanctuary

"So there are treasures this powerful… Did our universe create anything like them at its birth?"

Regulus asked with curiosity.

"According to records, nothing like that exists here. However, there are forbidden objects that hold similar dangers."

Sage patiently explained.

"How intriguing. If that lunatic showed up in our universe, I'd make sure to teach him a lesson," Manigault grumbled.

The way Thanos spoke so casually about slaughtering half of all life enraged him. What did that madman take life for?

Tony Stark: "My god! I can't believe our universe has something so horrifying!"

Rogers: "You lunatic! Planning to kill half the universe's population—I won't allow it!"

Thanos: "Your permission is irrelevant, for I am destiny itself."

Natasha: "Ha, I thought Stark was the most arrogant man on Earth. Turns out there's someone even more delusional."
