The Collection of The End

——AD.2160.1.13——

Near the Citadel, in subspace.

"Although 'Citadel' does mean 'fortress', 'Catalyst' actually transformed this place into 'Ice Crown Citadel'?"

Thanos looked at the "Citadel Node", which was different from countless other repeater nodes, and exclaimed in disbelief.

Its shape is not like a blue pie like an ordinary repeater, but a huge blue-gray fortress carved out of the mountains with sharp outer walls and sharp corners.

Of course, it was not an entire mountain. It looked like the part of the mountain that included the fortress had been cut off and placed in the void. There were also white bone structures and frost giants on the outer walls and in the sky above the fortress. Dragons patrol and circle.

"There is no doubt that...[she] became the 'Lich King' under certain circumstances that she thought were appropriate," Thanos looked at Icecrown Citadel thoughtfully: "But the catalyst was 'Kel' Thugard' or 'Sindragosa'?"

No one responded to Thanos's questions, and even some undead monsters that had entered the field of vision turned a blind eye to him.

"In any case, [she] must not be here, but there should be some clues." Thanos walked through the void and came to the closed blue-white relief door of Icecrown Fortress: "Strange, the door is closed. There is no battering ram nearby, are you doing some preparatory tasks or..."

Thanos muttered to himself as he raised his hand and pressed the door.

Huhu - buzz.

His figure blurred for a moment, then solidified again.

"Well, those who come into contact with this subspace entity will be transported to the 'Soul Furnace'. They must defeat three enemies along the way before they can leave. If the group is destroyed halfway, they will be kicked out and not allowed to enter for half a year..." Thanos Raising an eyebrow: "Is the [Space Stone] used for this?"

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the Reality Stone and the Mind Stone on the Omni-Tool simultaneously emitted a burst of light.

After the light passed, a team of five people dressed in the middle world appeared in front of the gate of Icecrown Fortress. Warriors, priests, mages, thieves and paladins, both men and women, all looked like ordinary people. After they appeared, they did not hesitate. He rushed towards the door and disappeared.

"Although players will see the Lich King in the last dungeon, he is just an impostor. The real Lich King has always been sitting on the Frozen Throne." Thanos looked up at the top of the Ice Crown Fortress: "I I wish it would be so easy to find [her], but...it’s impossible no matter how you think about it.”

Huhu——

About two hours later, the disappeared five-man team reappeared. They looked like they had gone through a fierce battle. They were all disgraced and miserable, especially the soldiers.

"Strange, why is there no change?" Thanos looked at the door of Icecrown Fortress and found that it was exactly the same as before and was not open: "Have there been any conditions for entry?"

At this time, the five-man team began to turn into black ashes and disappear. The paladin in the team threw something towards Thanos before disappearing. After catching it, he found that it was a broken sword hilt.

"What is it? The holy relic used to summon Diarmuid?" Thanos turned over the hilt of the sword and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and hit his head: "I was stupid."

After knocking himself, Thanos held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and stretched it out. The multi-purpose tools on the left and right once again burst into red light. As this light swept across, the originally dilapidated hilt turned into a wide and wide one. It was a big, white and bright broad-edged sword with a green light shining on the edge.

"Okay, 'Quel'Delar'," Thanos obviously recognized the sword and waved it twice casually, "it just makes a perfect pair with my 'Quel'Sera'."

As he spoke, he pulled out the double-edged sword he used before from the void, and twisted the hilts of the two swords together to form a new double-headed sword.

"The power seems to have been strengthened a lot. It should be able to easily cut through Captain America's shield... No, let's forget it.

Mortal, in every sense of the word. "

Thanos said something unintelligible while casually waving towards the gate of Icecrown Citadel.

Click! Wow…

The door, which was originally extremely solid and could teleport away those who touched it, was directly cut with a huge crack by the sword energy, and then shattered, revealing the spacious hall inside.

"Is it this kind of pre-entry?" Thanos looked in disbelief: "It's impossible for the aborigines of this world to do it, right?... Well, it seems that not allowing the aborigines to enter is the normal setting."

After being surprised, Thanos walked into the Ice Crown Citadel with his newly acquired double-headed sword.

"Think about it carefully, many of [her] followers can enter directly, whether by directly cutting the door, or resisting the teleportation effect of the space gem, but they have not come, does this indirectly prove that [her] ] Are you really not here?” Thanos muttered as he walked deeper into the fortress.

Along the way, they killed a huge bone structure, a particularly talkative Lich Lady, an inexplicable gunboat, a strange green skin, a group of vampire princes and their queen, two giant abominations and their masters, and a green dragon and a frost dragon.

"Something seems to be wrong...but it doesn't matter." Thanos put away his double-headed sword and climbed onto a hexagonal platform, which began to move upward after he stepped on it.

"Because it's been so long and I can't remember clearly, it seems that Fording will appear? Is there still Bolvar hanging on the wall?" Thanos thought while looking at the top of the fortress that was gradually approaching: "We will see the situation then and decide whether to use it or not. Cut them."

Creak.

Finally, the hexagonal lift reached its destination, which was a not-wide platform at the top of the Ice Crown Fortress, close to the top of the mountain.

On the mountain wall on one side of the platform is a huge throne made of ice. Sitting on it is a girl who seems to be in deep sleep, wearing a golden crown and an ice crystal skirt. Next to the throne, there is a A ridiculous little snowman built with no care at all.

At this moment, Thanos, who was originally calm and confident, able to handle various situations with ease, froze in place with his mouth half open.

It was as if he had countless things to say and countless actions to take, but when they all came up at once, they conflicted with each other, leaving him speechless and unable to move.

In the end, the action team reached a consensus first, and he rushed over directly.

"Li——"

Boom!

Then, three meters away from the sleeping girl, he hit an invisible wall.

"Hey..." Behind the dizzy Thanos, a young man's voice sounded: "Sister, you are in a daze again. How can someone be so dazed?"
