To be clear I'm not really into the "Thanny is working with William" theory myself given what we know of the former so far. Then again, I used to think that William was just a businessman who doesn't realize he's biting more than he could chew and is unaware of what Eternum really is nor what the Founder's true goals are, and look how that turned out lol.Never really speculated William's influence before this so this is def new to me, but this def holds a lot of weight to it, although I still somewhat doubt it's authenticity. Thanatos seems to not give a shit about Strength in status or assets. So considering William trying to make deals with Thanatos is unlikely, but I do believe they've crossed each other once to no avail. I'd say they mostly stayed out of each other's way, Thanatos because he thinks William is "Strong", And William cause he knows better than to face him. That said I feel like there is room for leeway to assume they work together, Perhaps Thanatos recieves information about the Gems of Doom from William himself (or through Williams lackeys) who then hunts them down to collect it, not knowing that William is probably doing it to make things easier for himself, taking all the Gems from Thanatos once they're all found, which would make a confrontation between them all the more interesting, and getting rid of William much easier thematically.

I just think that IF such a theory would prove true then maybe there's something William has that Thanny would want (like maybe William has a list of legendary items that the Founder has kept track of and he and his team has managed to acquire that list as well as the locations of said items...and they gave it to Thanny or are drip feeding him the information in exchange for his cooperation)...or that whatever the Founder's goals are might be in opposition to what Thanny wants (and assuming my crackpot theory on what the Founder would do when he acquires all the gems is true (or at least the gems' function anyway), then it's on Thanny's best interests that that scenario DOESN'T come to pass). If it's the latter, well...you know what they say..."the enemy of my enemy is my friend...for now."
Also I'm not sure if I subscribe to the idea that Thanatos wants to go back. His monologue to Orion when he was curbstomping the latter was clear: he likes being in Eternum. Maybe him dying has made him change for the worse or maybe that's all just him coping from the fact that he's stuck and he won't see his mom again. I dunno. I'm leaning on the former possibility though (that death has hardened him or twisted him into a darker person than what he originally was).
