Chapter 485 - 485
Amidst their unwilling, confused roars, the three Celestial Hosts completely vanished from existence.
They were dead.
For the first time in untold eons, a Celestial Host had perished.
And not just one—three had died at once!
The remaining four Celestial Hosts were filled with fury and disbelief.

Dormammu and the other cosmic entities could only sigh—this matter would not be easily resolved.
At that moment, Judicator Arishem's gaze turned ice-cold as he locked onto White Knight.
"Your energy... is completely depleted now, isn't it?"
At his words, the other three Celestial Hosts shifted their focus to White Knight.
Then, as they sensed the apparent truth, they exhaled in relief and smirked darkly.
Their mood lifted.
Odin, Thor, and Frigga's faces changed.
Dormammu and the other cosmic beings had mixed feelings.
Was White Knight about to die?
On the battlefield.
Syd remained calm.
Without a sound, he discreetly pulled the Space Stone into his left palm.
If the situation truly became dire, he would not hesitate to use it.
"You can try and see how much energy I really have left," Syd said coolly.
As he spoke, he silently activated the Reality Stone in his right hand.
Instantly, a crimson glow erupted, illuminating his entire form and the surrounding space.
At the same time, he prepared to absorb the Space Stone's energy.
Unlike the Reality Stone, he had realized earlier that its energy could not be directly absorbed.
The Celestial Hosts hesitated.
They had been moments away from attacking, convinced that White Knight was at his limit.
But now...
As the red light flared, an undeniable sense of threat emanated from him once more.
It was as if, should they strike, White Knight would still be able to counter with devastating force.
Impossible!
Hadn't he used up all his power?
Then why... why did he still feel dangerous?!
For the first time, even Judicator Arishem hesitated.
Should they really attack?
Several seconds passed.
Then, in a cold voice, Arishem declared:
"White Knight... I will remember you."
"The Celestial Hosts will remember you."
"You and Messiah—prepare for the day death comes for you both."
Before Odin and the others could react, a massive black hole materialized behind Arishem.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining Celestial Hosts stepped into it and vanished into the unknown.
Odin was momentarily stunned.
The Celestial Hosts had retreated.
The battle was over.
He turned to look at Syd, his expression filled with awe.
"He stood alone against seven Celestial Hosts...
"Killed three of them...
"Forced the remaining four to retreat...
"This child..."
For the first time, Odin felt both shock and immense pride.
Was this truly his child?
...
Omniscient City.
"That's it? It's over?" Zeus muttered in disbelief.
At the same time, he was awed by White Knight's power and accomplishments.
"If only we could bring him into our pantheon..." Zeus's eyes gleamed with ambition.
With White Knight at their side, Olympus would reign supreme.
...
Earth.
The world had gone eerily silent.
Wasn't White Knight supposed to die?
Wasn't this supposed to be a tragic, inescapable disaster?
Then what was this?!
He had single-handedly driven away an entire Celestial Host strike force?!
...
Across Dimensions.
"So much for claiming the Infinity Stones..."
Many Demon Lords had been waiting for White Knight to perish so they could steal his Infinity Stones.
Now, all they felt was regret—and fear.
Without hesitation, they elevated White Knight's classification to a being not to be provoked.
More than anything, they felt it was absurd.
Earth had already produced Messiah.
Now it had White Knight too?!
This was beyond ridiculous!
...
High above Earth.
"Come back to Asgard with me," Odin offered.
Syd thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No."
Odin frowned slightly, but he did not press further.
Without another word, he summoned the Bifrost.
With a brilliant flash, Odin and his eight-legged steed vanished.
Meanwhile, Syd closed his eyes, quickly absorbing the sunlight to replenish his depleted energy.
As his internal reserves slowly recovered, his sense of security returned.

Gazing at his progress, Syd felt anticipation.
This battle had made one thing very clear—his current power wasn't enough.
He hadn't been able to erase all seven Celestial Hosts.
If he had... this crisis would have ended permanently.
He knew what was coming.
Arishem would return.
Syd furrowed his brows before exhaling deeply.
"In the end... I still don't have enough power."
If his Chaos Magic didn't originate from himself but instead from an external source, then perhaps all the Celestial Hosts—including Arishem—would already be dead.
He would have erased them with a single word.
"Maybe... I should try connecting to an external Chaos Magic source?"
Syd hesitated.
Would doing so link him to Chthon, the ancient god of black magic?
Would he become his puppet—or worse, a target for possession?
Chthon was a Multiversal entity.
Dealing with him would be dangerous.
Syd remained lost in thought.
The deaths of three Celestial Hosts sent shockwaves across the cosmos.
A great many beings were left shaken.
"This is impossible! This must be fake!"
"How could a mere planet like Earth produce such a powerhouse?!"
Various galactic empires refused to believe it.
...
A Distant Warship...
Inside an enormous battleship, Thanos sat on his throne, deep in contemplation.
Then, a voice—filled with shock—interrupted his thoughts.
"Lord Thanos, we have a problem!"
It was Ebony Maw.
Thanos opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashing in them.
"What is it?"
What could possibly be 'a problem' for him?
