Old Celestial & decisions

"where am I ? And what's this Godforsaken Place ?" Thanos asked with nobody in the vicinity just by himself with no answer but spears drawings upon him by all sides as he defended against them.

The Dark Energies continued their assault on him and put on struggles like never before shaking and changing the void which was getting smaller and smaller by the second stunning a few astronomers and Cozmonots who researched it and many claimed it as a dead zone which erupted out of nowhere as such it became a studying subject for many species but what they were seeing surprised even the many strong-headed beings as the void was slowly being pulled by something and getting concentrated on the edges still being light deprived yet the absence of substance could still be felt from the empty spaces even though they were still black and hollow upon observation.

Thanos looking at the Plauthora of dark energy surrounding him form all sides did all he could to Destroy them and gain a distance but to no avail and with his quick thinking used all his straight to rip off the energy's threads freeing himself and looked in horror and thaught

'what in God's name transpired here ?' and continued using the stone's power to destroy the dark energy which continued its assault on thanos trying to cling on to his Immortal body

"Enough is enough it's a threat I've never come across. I've got to be serious while dealing with this unknown threat " and jumped into action using his newly acquired powers to deal with the threat right before his eyes.

Meanwhile Odin who was watching it all wondered if he should help or let Thanos deal with it

" You seem worried dear is everything alright ? " Freya Odin's wife asked in concern

"Forgive me my dearest, it seems my friend seems to be dealing with an immense threath right niw, should i- "

"Then you already know what you must do just make sure to come back safely" Freya said cutting him short.

while walking he found himself by the vicinity of Bïfrost which was under construction and walked right on the teleporter but stopped when he heard a voice.

"My Liege are you going where I think you are going ? I'd advice otherwise as the Bïfrost is not nearly complete and therefore not completely safe" Heimdall said

"That's something you'll learn later on. Sometimes it's best to trust your gut feeling letting fate do it's bidding. Watch over Thor, Loki & my Wife In my absence. It's a threat which may very well Destroy the universe as well known it if it's allowed to grow. Now that it's been so openly active I can't just ignore it "

".... Do remember to take care of yourself my Liege. I pray for thy safe & Glorious return ! " Saying so Heimdall respectfully stepped aside and watch his king make his way towards the teleporter.

Stepping into the teleporter Odin experienced a bit of strain which would be enough to kill anybody other than half Immortals like himself and appeared besides Thanos who was using everything in his arsenal from advanced weaponries to deadly natural anomalies to destroy the assault from the dark energys but only to an extent as the remaining energys still continued their assault but more menacingly at that.

"You seem to need help" Odin said

"Haha, yes for the first time I ask for help from someone other than my kids. "Thanos said happy looking at Odin who had just arrived.

"What is this ? Do you have any idea ?" Thanos asked

"The remnants of ' Desire for living ' left behind by an Celestial entity who seemed to be lost on his path while laying his last breaths " Odin said while using his spear and fired off at the energys which accelerated towards the duo only to be stopped as Odin slammed his spear in the space making an forcefield which seperated them from the Dark energy's assault at least at the moment.

"How do we deal with them ? " Thanos asked

"We have to find the remnants of the dead Celestial's body as to deal with the source and the energys should disperse later on if all goes well." Odin said straining himself and pulled out His ultimate weapons both Gungnir and Odin's Sword which were both weapons meant to be used only when the the entire universe is at death's door implying the seriousness of the situation.

Thanos seeing this used his creation magic to make solid ground for them to stand upon preparing for battle both stood back to back against each other Odin and Thanos each preparing their Strongerest attacks to held back the dark remnants of energys which continued to are away the barrier Odin layed down weakening it by the second.

The moment the barrier broke both Demi-Gods got into actions Thanos summoned all powerful magical including the ones he used to Destroy his previous body. Giving it his all the energy layed down a path as Thanos's attacks tore through the darkness while Odin who striked from his sword and spear threw slashed the almighty weapons destroying the energys to an extent but they were in vaste amount and they both knew they had to find the dead Celestial's body soon as they can be tired and henceforth vulnerable, neverminding the active energys may take this opportunity to spread and Devour more and more.

"He's progressing quite smoothly. Hopefully he overcomes it. " an ancient pleasant voice spoke out while the origin and speaker was hidden by clouds and rays of sunshine which covered the entire realm in which he resided.

""You know it all yourself and may I ask what's your purpose in giving him another chance ?" A dark greenish presence which totally opposed his existence spoke out in annoyance failing to understand the great one's purpose.

"Not everything is certain. There are things that even I can't do by myself, things I can predict but aren't guaranteed to follow the predestined path. The child should be given another chance I certainly hope he maintains his bearings as a man who learns from his mistakes is a thousand times better than anyone else especially when he reverts for good." The old ancient voice spoke out.

"I can never understand you sometimes." and thus the dark greenish figure left his realm while the ancient one covered in golden stream of lights continued to watch things transpire right before his eyes.

"Hopefully these children can help you escape from your own prison entrapping you for millions of years" murmured the entity and continued watching

Thanos and Odin continued their struggles firing off within the darkness making it consume a huge chunk out of it while Odin and Thanos continued their attacks both sensed the presence of power great and above their current understandings giving it their all they both fired off towards the source of the immersive power which drawned admiration yet instilled fear within one's heart

From a few strikes of Odin's Sword and Thanos making full use of his newfound strength and power made a few portals to keep the energys within bounds and moved towards the source while clearing a path for themselves.

" It's not far now let's hurry up. These old bones cannot withstand this much activity" Odin said while tiredness clearly visible on his face and slashed his sword towards the source. The body of the dead Celestial

"Yes it's the first time I've been so tired and came to note of it. Let's get it done with and celebrate like there's no tomorrow after we're done " Thanos said struggling to push back and continued to maintain the path Odin layed forth with each slash.

"Sounds good to me" Odin said while he was tired his warrior spirit Wasn't tired in the least. Screaming for fights as exciting as this one and thaught to himself ' old habits sure are not easy to get rid of ' and let the thaught aside for now.

Thanos then proceeded to make a miniature sun on a certain which obliterated the surrounding black goo but only momentarily as heaps and piles of black goo filled right back in but this was all they needed as Odin slashed Gungnir a symbol of Odin's power, Gungnir is the spear that Odin used to unite the nine realms. Crafted from Uru metal, the same material as Thor's hammer, it is one of Asgard's most powerful weapons which instantly created a few thousand KM pathway seperating the Vile black goo and gave them a few moments breather as Thanos was able to teleport them both a bit closer to the Celestial's remnants.

Fortunately for them the black goo while persistent wasn't much sentient to the point of coordination and planning ahead but as they progressed further and further they both noticed that the attacks were becoming more and more violent as they progressed deeper on the outer hindgws the Black Mass which spreader for Billions and Billions of Miles covering and devouring hundreds of galaxies was seemingly 'Falling in' on itself which did nothing but add more trouble for both Thanos and Odin who were already struggling with each further process they felt themselves getting more and more tired as this seemingly endless struggle continued a blindingly bright light emanated in the darkness from Odin's last strike which sparked both their attention.

"There !" Wasting no time Odin and Thanos both used everything in their arsenal while Thanos overdid himself and boosted Odin's and his own attack power putting a major strain on his own body.

As if a glass had shattered the blinding light 'flew' out in the vaccume of the space.

"Hold it ! We can't let this Vile energy's get close to the body or it'll become a huge disaster." Said Odin.

"What !? Then what's our reason for doing this till now ! Care to explain ?"

"No can do, just know that we can't let it get in touch with the Celestial's body, wait until I deal with the body you have to make a barrier for a while I'll be making my way to the source of the problem but if the malace gets in before me it'll be of no use just stay put for now." Harriedly saying so Odin darted off towards the huge body of the celestial heading directly towards the huge chest of the Celestial's body.

Completely different from expectations the Humongous body seemed to have just died yesterday as flesh and blood drizzled on the surrounding space sprouting seemingly foreign vegetation at certain spots but Odin had no luxury of enjoying his time there and rushed in as quickly as he can as Thanos was struggling as it is he couldn't teleport Odin nor could he be distracted in the mean time he could only wait the only good thing was that the light barrier was seemingly repairing itself but it was Very very slow and with the assault from the Vicious Black Goo continuously slamming on the already fragile barrier Thanos could only wait and withstand the force exerted on the barrier.

"Wha- who am I ? Wha-?" A voice came from Thanos's back which wasn't Odin's as Thanos looked at it for a split second he saw the illusion figure of the celestial wounded and tattered the same way his corpse was. The voice itself made the scene unbelievably calm,

The Black energy outside the barrier too was forced to stood still in fear unable to interact or come close to them

"Should've done that sooner." Thanos said transporting himself next to Odin.

"The rituals takes some time especially due to him not being stable enough." Saying so both looked at the entity which was once a Celestial.

"I-I I remember.. I a m beginning to remember." Saying so spirit of the celestial stood silent and then stared at Odin and Thanos.

"Thank you Children you've saved me from my nightmares I can't express my gratitude enough for freeing me from my millennium long lasting torment. I am forever grateful if both thee, if I am able to reincarnate I will try to repay this favour of yours." The spirit of the Celestial said in all honesty.

"Umm it's fine it's not your fault for Dying I guess." Odin shook his hand

"What about that Dark energy ? It'll take a hectic amount of time and effort to deal with it entirely."

"Worry not children this evil shall be purged after I am gone these are my unfulfilled amalgamations of desires, Regrets and Longings which took a better hold of me when I was down and not ready to accept my end. Thinking it wasn't my time yet look at the foolish me now."

"That's all fine but may I ask what could possibly kill you ?" Thanos asked and almost instantaneously a pained expression surfaced on the Celestial's face.

"Monsters not just any monsters they Were Celestial Reavers even god's can fall prey to them if one isn't careful enough and unluckily falls prey to them aside from them there's still a pluthora of ways a Celestials and God's can die." Continuing on he said

"I as a new and lonely Celestial from my timeline wanted to venture out in the big Worlds out there but there's only 2 outcomes for the brave ones the first is them being lucky and favoured by fortune to survive and thrive in the new world or Die out trying and I was unfortunately the later one on that Part I was still reluctant to give up hoping to be more than I had achieved... Foolishly clinging on to fake hope." Saying so he had a pained look in his eyes

"Fortunately I was finally awake or I may had just lost my sanity once and for all for that you have my sincere thanks." Saying his final words the astral figure of the Celestial finally diseappearared from it's spot seemingly entering the endless cycle of birth and death along with it a calmness entered the area as the Dark energy's persuit was stopped and it all subsided reduced to a smoky substance which lacked it's previous violent properties it was semi dense dusty field full of dark sand like particles throughout the empty void.

"Well now that that's done and dealth with. What about this giant corpse he left behind ? He didn't expect us to bury him did he ?" Thanos asked confused what to do.

"Hahahaha sorry I cannot help with that we should just leave it at that though we can search his corpse and look for Treasures that he might have had on him and create a barrier for his future self, or his inheritor or something."

"Good enough though it can wait though I'm dead tired for now."

"Very well let's get going." Nodding Thanos teleported to Asguard meeting Heimdall who gave both of them a respectable salute and went on with his work of guarding and overseeing the nine realms.

Drinking Thanos's ale and galloping dozens of glasses Thanos still in his trance couldn't believe what had transpired today a powerful Celestial like him had died off so easily almost unimaginably.

"Come to think of it he didn't even tell us his name." Thanos claimed half drunk and quite sad at how unbalanced the powerscale of the world's have become.

"... Sad truly saddening to even think how such a mighty one can fall with no memberance aside from his body, a truly pitiful end." Shaking his head both felt extreme pity for the being so powerful his negative emotions had the capacity to end Galaxies.

Drinking away they both felt they had seems a part of themselves in that fallen Celestial his words his demeanor somewhat reminded them of their past deeds making them wonder and questioning everything they had experienced up till now.

"Haha sorry for troubling you so much today old friend I don't know how I got myself in that mess that was completely unintentional." Thanks apologized and expressed his thanks towards today's incident.

"Gah stop stop don't give me that we aren't strangers." Dismissing his apologies Odin said jokingly.

"Tough look at me and how old I've gotten today I finally got to experience some fun like my past days charging in battles with a selected few of my best friends. How I long for their company...."

"Did they led a fulfilling life ?" Thanos asked silently watching the starry sky

"Most did I made sure to fulfill their wishes till the best of my capabilities but some even I couldn't fulfill. Regrets and accomplishments is all we have when we get old it seems, hah but you are still the same just like the time when we first met"

"But you've lost a few years it seems." Thanos said in a friendly tone reminding him.

"Indeed and I'm glad that it did happen being an immortal is no fun unless you have company or they might just end up like that Celestial."

"On that remark it isn't far from our parting time. I am sorry old friend but before I was prepared to live like a half Immortal and succumb to eternal Slumber but now I am worried for you more than anything." Slamming his jug Odin looked quite sad.

"Indeed I will miss these times, I want to relish in these moments as much as I can for the the being dont bring that topic up. I'd rather not think about it."grunting in a soft tone Thanos was quite displeased on the start of this topic

A stillness surrounded the room as both didn't spoke much the stillness didn't last long tough as the doors of Odin's private chambers were slung open,

Drawing both their attention towards the intruder bit calmed down as it was just Freya visiting them.

"I presume everything went smoothly." Freya asked answered by Thanos

"Somehow it did. Excuse me Odin, Freya, I'll be back I have much to think about things, we have to scavenging that Celestial's corpse as well hah so much left to do I need some Sleep." Yawning away he expressed his complainant towards his rude awakening beforehand to which both excused themselves and said their good nights and Thanos diseappearared as silently as he had appeared. Leaving Freya to tend to her husband.
