After absorbing the painting (the universe) into him, he attended the meeting. Opening the portal he appeared in the council. There are everyone here now, the elder gods, watchers, celestials, eternity, infinity, death, Thanos with an infinity gauntlet, living tribunal, master order, lord chaos, in-betweener, phoenix force, oblivion, almost everyone in the life council.
Phoenix force in the force of Jean Grey, the White Phoenix of the Crown, stood in front of him and asked," so you're leaving us ", she asked with a sad gaze. Although she embodied rebirth, purifying everything with the destructive flames, she felt sad when Baldur, a brother figure to her is leaving.
Baldur said," yeah, you know me right. Hate being under someone. No offense, even if OAA is benevolent, I wish to be free from any bindings ", Phoenix force, she sat back on her throne.
Living tribunal started the meeting," by the will of One Above All, the creator of this multiverse, let's start the council ", he smashed the wooden hammer down like a judge courtesy of Baldur who told him about it creating this antic.
Death stood up and spoke," even if all the outer gods are gone, the damage they did still exist. Many universes have gone to waste, the undead there have their souls twisted beyond purification with death. I propose we just erase them ".
Phoenix said," I can still go there and use my flame if you want ", Galactis spoke," no phoenix, it's too dangerous, even my avatar there became one of the victims. Even if the entity controlling them is, their hunger still exist. It's a disaster if something happens especially with that kid Franklin, who became one of those undead ".
Oblivion spoke," I can unleash void on them and erase everything ", Arishem said," the celestials will follow the will of this council ", watchers said," it can be disaster to surrounded universe if left alone. Although we're watchers, we can't stay idle and see this infection get out of hand them became a threat to the multiverse ".
Eternity also said," I also recommend destroying those universe ", Infinity said," I agree with eternity", master order spoke," maybe we can find an alternative ", Lord Chaos said," what do you mean? Order, multiverse is at stake here. We can't let these universe go unchecked or continue any further ".
Inbetweener said," Although I emphatise with master Order, but when it comes to multiverse, few universes can he sacrificed. They're behind redemption. Even if we reverse time, this infection grew to a level, where it transcended time itself. I propose Destruction too ".
The Elder gods themselves agreed. Finally everyone turned to Baldur. Baldur said," then what about the survivors there, there are still Peter Parker under the spider totem protection, and few others still surviving in those universes ".
Living tribunal spoke," there is nothing that can be done. It didn't infection them, but they're not completely safe either, it exists on their bodies, we don't want any accidents happening when trying to rescue them. So Lord proposed we should just exterminate them as well with those universes ".
Baldur sighed. Another headache, they thought killing the entity called hunger can vanish the infection from him, but no, that entity still has remnants left in that virus, left alone, he will just come back after sometime. This proved to be quite a headache.
The vote to destroy the universes have been casted out. Majority proposed to destroy it, after the decision is made, just when Living tribunal wanted to end the council, Thanos spoke," wait a minute, I still has something to say ".
All entities there frowned. What does this trouble maker want? He killed everything in his universe, destroyed infinity stones and even forcibly absorbed the heart of universe destroying one of OAA's avatars. Then made a deal with OAA while threatening to destroy that particular universe. That's how Thanos gained his place in the life council.
He surrender the heart of universe and hot the infinity stones that can function properly in multiverse without much hinderance, though he can't just snap his fingers and erase half population like he did in many universes. He needs OAA's approval for something like that.
Thanos turned to Baldur and said," since the embodiment of light is going to retire from this council and become a creator, why don't we send him to do this job? One last job for this universe ".
But Baldur said," I'm afraid that's not how it works Thanos. By the deal, I'm free the moment the war with outer gods ended. I'm only here to say farewell to fellow members as a courtesy, since the dea is already completed, I'm no longer a enforcer of this realm after this meeting, so you can't assign this job for me ".
' heh, trying to drag me with some scheme. Seems like past beatings didn't give him proper view on me at all ', Baldur shook his head.
Thanos frowned and asked," but since you attended this council that means you're still an enforcer and under the will of OAA right? So we can still ask the enforcer to do the job ", Living Tribunal intervened," no Thanos. He is no longer under lord's jurisdiction. He is only here because of the suggestion from lord to attend this one last meeting as a courtesy, he is more like a guest with some enforcement authority in your terms. We can't assign him any job as it goes against the deal the lord made with Former Embodiment of Light ".
Thanos looked at Baldur who just gave him an amused glance. He gritted his teeth, he wants to assign Baldur to this job and maybe do something back handed to trouble Baldur's ascension. But it seems this guy already planned everything even before making a deal.
Thanos tried to lure Baldur into the Job," might be one last job before your retirement. Afterall, you did something like this in the past and faced the entity behind it, why don't you do this favour for your former colleagues ".
Living tribunal hit his wooden hammer and said," no, Lord left this job specifically for Oblivion. I believe, no one has any objections against this decision ", Seeing his scheme can't pass through, Thanos became silent. Baldur meanwhile ignored this clown, he is someone who loved a woman and can't get her heart anyway.
