Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!-Chapter 172 What Kind Of Top-Notch Love Brain Is This!

In a dark and claustrophobic stone chamber, a beautiful woman draped in a black cloak sat atop a throne made of skeletons.

She gazed at Luo Bai, who stood before the portal, with a confident, almost flamboyant smile.

If Luo Bai were to judge her purely by her appearance, he would have to admit—this woman was stunning.

In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

From a normal male perspective, when a beautiful woman stands before a man, the first emotions that usually surface are admiration, excitement, or even joy.

Fear or terror would rarely—if ever—be among them.

Yet, for some reason, Luo Bai's first reaction upon seeing her was fear.

It wasn't the kind of fear that came from cowardice. Instead, it was an instinctual, primal fear that welled up from the depths of his soul.

It was as if every fiber of his being instinctively recognized the sheer terror of the woman standing before him.

This involuntary reaction surprised Luo Bai.

But after a brief moment of thought, he had a rough guess as to why.

It was likely because this woman was Death.

After all, there weren't many female cosmic entities in Marvel. Powerful ones were even rarer.

And someone like Death, shrouded in mystery and horror, was practically in a league of her own.

Death – One of the Five Cosmic Abstracts

In the grand hierarchy of the universe, Death was one of the five primordial cosmic entities.

Though she was as well-known as Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, she was, in truth, far more powerful.

She was the very embodiment of the end of all life.

More precisely, she was a cosmic being that personified the concept of death itself.

She was the source, the creator, and the ultimate master of all souls across the multiverse.

To mortals, she could be likened to the Grim Reaper, the King of the Underworld, or even Hela from Norse mythology.

But in reality, she was far more terrifying.

For she was the one who had created and ruled over all death gods across every myth and legend.

To be honest, Luo Bai hadn't expected Death to seek him out.

Being targeted by Galactus was troublesome, sure.

But ultimately, Uncle Tun (as some liked to call him) had a fundamental weakness—he needed to eat.

If he didn't feed, he would never reach the full might of a true cosmic god.

Death, on the other hand...

She was different.

She was a true Cosmic Abstract, a being of absolute authority.

She wasn't bound by physical needs or limitations.

If she wanted to, she could erase or restart the entire multiverse at a whim, resetting countless timelines and parallel realities as easily as flipping a switch.

Luo Bai frowned slightly.

Just how did I end up offending someone like her?

Even though he had a strong suspicion about her identity, he wasn't completely certain.

He was just about to test the waters when the woman suddenly spoke first.

"Luo Bai, Supreme Sorcerer of Earth... It's you, isn't it?" she asked.

Luo Bai nodded.

Before he could reply, the woman continued, introducing herself with a faint smile.

"My name is Death. Let me think... According to Earth's terminology, you would probably call me the Goddess of Death."

Her tone was casual, almost teasing, but her words sent a chill down Luo Bai's spine.

At this moment, he was 100% certain—the woman before him was Death.

He had barely dealt with Galactus, and now, Death herself had come knocking.

My luck with cosmic entities is something else... Luo Bai thought wryly.

With a sigh, he spoke.

"I know that you are a cosmic god, a Primordial Abstract just like Galactus—"

But before he could finish, Death cut him off with a chuckle.

"I know that Galactus invaded Earth recently... and suffered an embarrassingly pathetic defeat."

"Although, as a so-called 'God of Creation,' he looks quite weak..."

She smirked.

"But I do hope you Earthlings don't assume that all Creator Gods are like him."

"He's an exception."

Her words carried a tone of amusement, but there was a sharpness beneath them.

It was clear—she looked down on Galactus.

She probably made fun of him behind his back all the time.

At first glance, Death seemed approachable—her tone light, her smile ever-present.

But Luo Bai wasn't fooled.

He knew that it was all an act.

Death was not a being that smiled easily.

She wasn't an easygoing woman with a casual personality.

She was Death itself.

The ultimate truth of existence.

It wasn't in her nature to be "easy to talk to."

Which meant that if she was putting on this act...

She wanted something from him.

Remaining cautious, Luo Bai asked, "Goddess of Death... You didn't come here just to tease Galactus, did you?"

At his words, Death's expression shifted slightly, and she returned to the real topic.

"Hmm... Let's see..."

"When Galactus attacked Earth, countless lives were wiped out in the battle, weren't they?"

Death paused, tilting her head in amusement.

"If I recall correctly... about one billion lives perished on Earth during that incident."

Her smile deepened.

"Although that number isn't very impressive, I must admit..."

Her eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"I'm very interested in one thing."

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes.

"What is it?"

Death's smile widened as she asked:

"Why did all one billion of those souls suddenly... disappear from my grasp?"

Her voice was soft, almost playful, but it carried an undeniable pressure.

She stared at Luo Bai, her amusement never fading.

"Supreme Sorcerer, you wouldn't happen to know the reason, would you?"

Luo Bai: "...."

Now, Luo Bai finally understood why Death had come looking for him.

As the ruler of souls, Death controlled the fate of all beings after they perished. Normally, after death, most souls would naturally enter her domain.

But this time... something had gone wrong.

Luo Bai recalled the devastation Earth had suffered during Galactus' invasion.

At that moment, he had used reality manipulation to restore Earth to its original state.

Which meant...

He had single-handedly undone the deaths of billions.

It was no surprise that Death would come knocking.

Feeling a little awkward, Luo Bai scratched his head and said, "Well... as the Supreme Sorcerer, I couldn't just stand by and watch Earth suffer."

Death smiled, but there was a certain weight behind her gaze.

"All major events in the universe follow a predetermined order," she said slowly.

"Which planets will be destroyed, who will die, and when... Everything is set along a specific timeline."

She tilted her head slightly, amusement flickering in her eyes.

"But your little mass resurrection has thrown a wrench into things."

With a playful smirk, she added, "I think you look quite interesting. Why don't you stay here with me? If you do... I'll pretend I don't know about this~~"

Her tone was light, but Luo Bai felt his vision spin for a moment.

Damn, what kind of offer is this?

Although the title "Five Cosmic Abstracts" sounded imposing, if one really thought about it, their personalities were... well, kind of ridiculous.

Galactus? A cosmic foodie who could never get enough to eat.

And Death?

She was the ultimate hopeless romantic.

As one of the founding cosmic entities, she always seemed to be entangled with various superheroes and villains.

There were even rumors of a love triangle between her, Deadpool, and Thanos.

And now, she wanted to keep Luo Bai in her domain?

This was turning into a major headache.

If Thanos ever found out... he might actually pass out from sheer frustration.

After all, the Mad Titan was head over heels for Death.

But come on... it wasn't like Thanos had actually won her over in the original storyline, right?

Death had always been using him.

She had no intention of truly being with him.

With a resigned sigh, Luo Bai said, "Goddess of Death, I'm afraid I can't stay here. If I do... Thanos is going to lose his mind when he finds out."

At the mention of Thanos, Death's playful expression faltered for a moment.

She frowned.

"You mean... Thanos?"

Then, she scoffed.

"Don't worry about him," she said dismissively.

"It doesn't matter what he thinks."

Luo Bai shook his head.

"Maybe not for you. But for me? It's a problem."

The moment the words left his mouth, Death's smile vanished.

Her face darkened.

"You mean... you don't want to stay with me in the Kingdom of Death?"

Her voice had lost its warmth.

Slowly, she stood up from her throne.

And the moment she did—

Her form began to change.

The beautiful woman who had been standing before him...

Morphed into something else entirely.

Flesh and curves vanished, replaced by cold, white bone.

Before Luo Bai stood the true form of Death—

A walking skeleton, devoid of flesh, devoid of warmth.
