Chapter 89 The Wizard Spider-Man, Righteousness!
Chapter 90: Sorcerer Spider-Man, Righteousness!
Contrary to Russell's expectations, Morlun and the Blood God did not directly escape back to the Dimension of Blood.
Instead, they went to another cloning Base of the Inheritors family.
Inside the Base, Morlun saw Soros's backup body had no reaction, so he operated the instruments.
After a long time, he still couldn't find Soros's soul fluctuations.
Morlun couldn't help but become increasingly panicked and restless.
Helpless, he could only seek help from the Blood God.
"My God, why hasn't my father's soul returned?"
The Blood God said in a deep voice, "Your father's soul was taken by Sorcerer Spider-Man."
The Blood God was also very distressed at this moment.
A powerful subordinate he had just subdued was gone just like that.
Morlun humbly pleaded, "My God, can you help me retrieve my father's soul?"
The Blood God nodded, "Don't worry, I won't give up on your father."
Although Soros's defeat was very sudden, the combat power he displayed still made the Blood God quite satisfied.
In the Blood God's view, Soros's failure was not his problem.
A sudden high-speed meteor was not something a normal carbon-based life form could resist.
Unless Soros was strengthened by Him, transformed into a Vampire, and possessed the characteristics of an energy body.
At that time, Soros would have extremely high resistance to physical damage.
Only then would it be possible to withstand the impact of the meteor.
"Then what should we do now? My God," Morlun said cautiously.
The Blood God was not polite and instructed:
"I can sense that Soros's soul is still in this Universe.
"You figure out a way to contact other members of the Inheritors family and have them go to the Dimension of Blood to accept my strengthening.
"Afterward, my avatar will lead them together to descend upon this Universe and crusade against Sorcerer Spider-Man."
"As you command, My God."
Morlun dared not defy the Blood God and immediately sent messages to the members of the Inheritors familyagain.
He informed them of Soros's defeat and the family facing annihilation.
He also ordered the others to immediately put aside their current matters and go to the Dimension of Blood to meet the Blood God.
Seeing Morlun so obedient, the Blood God smiled with satisfaction:
"Morlun, you also go to the Dimension of Blood for strengthening."
In fact, in the Blood God's plan, there was only one main combat force to save Soros's soul, and that was His avatar.
As for transforming the other members of the Inheritors family into Vampires, that was just a convenient side task.
As for the promise to Soros?
Times change.
Once He retrieves Soros's soul, He will do something to his soul.
Even Soros would be His.
Through a mysterious magic circle and a period of teleportation.
Morlun arrived at the Dimension of Blood
—with Russell's gaze.
Russell looked through Morlun's perspective.
The Dimension of Blood, the entire dimensional space was a crimson expanse.
In the sky, there was a Blood Moon.
The moonlight it cast was all crimson.
Soon, Morlun arrived at the Blood God's palace.
The Blood God's palace covered the entire mountain range, full of Vampire style.
Clearly, even after becoming a Dimensional Lord, the Blood God did not forget His origin
—the Vampire Totem God.
In the Blood God's palace, the other members of the Inheritors family were already gathered.
The Blood God's ethereal voice descended from high above.
"My apostles, do you crave power?"
The Inheritors knelt on one knee, crossed their arms over their chests, and bowed their heads, saying:
"My God, please grant us power."
"Convert to the Vampire race," the Blood God's voice resounded.
"Convert to the Vampire race ~" the Inheritors repeated.
"Convert to the Dimension of Blood."
"Convert to the Dimension of Blood ~"
"Convert to the Blood God."
"Convert to the Blood God ~"
After three declarations of conversion, the Blood Moon high in the sky shone brightly.
The crimson moonlight condensed into a blood pillar, enveloping the Inheritors family in the palace.
Within the blood pillar, the bodies and souls of the Inheritors were undergoing transformation.
Originally, the various totem powers absorbed by the Inheritors began to dissolve under the Blood God's power, eventually fusing.
They fused into a special crimson energy, primarily based on the power of the Vampire race.
Suddenly, the Blood Moon high in the sky opened its eyes.
Its eyes revealed surprise.
He was right, the Inheritors family and His power were the most compatible.
In the Blood God's perception, the aura of every member of the Inheritors family was growing exponentially.
Morlun, whose strength was originally far inferior to Soros, grew to a level close to Soros.
And the other Inheritors also strengthened to a level close to the original Morlun.
With such a team of Inheritors subservient to Him, the Blood God felt that His rule in the Dimension of Bloodcould be further consolidated.
A moment later, the strengthening ended.
The Inheritors prostrated themselves on the ground, wholeheartedly shouting.
"Convert to the Vampire race ~"
"Convert to the Dimension of Blood ~"
"Convert to the Blood God ~"
After three declarations of conversion, the Inheritors' tone changed.
It became fierce and full of malevolence.
"Kill Sorcerer Spider-Man! Save the Patriarch!"
The Blood God responded to His apostles.
"Kill Sorcerer Spider-Man! Save Soros."
Rumble.
The Earth shook.
Suddenly, the entire mountain range rose from the ground.
This was clearly an avatar of the Blood God.
And the original palace became an embellishment on the avatar's armor.
Boom!
Bursting out of the Dimension of Blood, the Blood Godheaded in the direction of Soros's soul aura.
Just as the Inheritors suddenly left the current Universe, Miguel of the Web Warriors also discovered an anomaly.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, nor did he know the details of the event.
But Miguel keenly sensed that this must be related to a certain Spider-Man.
Miguel quickly contacted Captain Spider-Man of Earth-13.
This was the strongest Spider-Man he knew.
No.
He then contacted Toei Spider-Man.
Not him either.
Finally, he contacted Sorcerer Spider-Man's friend, Ghost-Spider.
"So, a while ago, you ambushed Morlun of the Inheritors family on Earth-65.
"Sorcerer Spider-Man defeated Morlun and controlled Morlun.
"He wanted to use Morlun to gather the members of the Inheritors family to encircle him.
"And then, he would wipe out the Inheritors family in one fell swoop?"
Miguel's voice revealed disbelief.
Even the strongest Spider-Man in his knowledge
—Captain Spider-Man.
He only protected the Spider-Men who fled to Earth-13 from being hunted by the Inheritors family.
He never thought of proactively attacking and eliminating the Inheritors family.
"Sorcerer Spider-Man, righteous!"
After his exclamation, Miguel told Gwen and Spider-Man UK the news he had just received.
"The Inheritors family has left various Universes and their whereabouts are currently unknown.
"It's very likely that they have already gathered to encircle Sorcerer Spider-Man.
"We must go support Sorcerer Spider-Man; we cannot let him fight alone!"
"Good!"
Spider-Man UK, Spider-Man Noir, Penny Spider-Man, and Spider-Ham nodded heavily.
"Alright."
Gwen also nodded.
She understood Russell's strength and had great confidence in Russell.
But seeing Miguel and the others speak so passionately, she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.
Chapter 90 The Blood God Strikes
Chapter 91: The Blood God Arrives
Earth-001, Inheritors family laboratory.
Just as Morlun arrived in the Dimension of Blood, Jarvishad already successfully copied the cloning technology and various experimental data.
However, Russell remained calmly lounging in his rocking chair.
He closed his eyes, feigning sleep, with no intention of leaving.
Tony, Wanda, and Pietro were puzzled.
Sensing their questioning gazes, Russell explained:
"Wait a little longer, wait for the Blood God to bring the other members of the Inheritors family to our doorstep."
"The Inheritors family's cloning technology has a backdoor; it cannot be used directly."
"Tony's detection is one safeguard;"
"Annihilating the Inheritors family is another safeguard."
Tony frowned:
"I know there's a problem with this cloning technology."
"But staying here, waiting for the Blood God and the Inheritors family to arrive, won't that be too risky?"
"During the previous battle with Soros, my suit and ammunition were damaged and need repairs."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to fight at full strength in the upcoming battle."
"I suggest we return to Earth-404 to fight."
"Only there can I unleash my full combat power."
Tony can only unleash his full combat power back on Earth-404?
Russell pondered for a moment and understood.
On Earth-001, Tony would need to launch probes into Earth's orbit to find meteorites, a step that takes time.
But on Earth-404, with Stark Industries' satellites everywhere, this step could be skipped.
However, Russell shook his head.
"On Earth-404, there are three Sanctums guarded by the Sorcerer Ancient One, so the Blood God most likely wouldn't dare to come."
"Don't worry, it's just a mere Blood God."
"Outside the Dimension of Blood, I am ninety-eight percent confident I can handle him."
After a brief reassurance to calm the three of them,
Russell's thoughts moved, opening a portal directly to the Stark Industries building on Earth-404.
"Here, Tony, you can repair your suit and replenish your ammunition now."
"However, you'll have to hurry; the Blood God will probably arrive here in about an hour."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, agreeing with Russell's decision.
Since Russell's portal could open directly to Stark Tower, it could also open to Kamar-Taj.
If things went wrong, retreat and calling for help were both options.
In the Super Vortex, the Blood God stirred up ripples and was rushing towards Earth-001 at full speed;
In the Multiverse, the Spider-Men of the Web Warriorswere also gathering.
They were preparing to teleport to Earth-001 through the web of life and destiny.
As for why the Blood God didn't use a portal, it was probably because he was too weak.
The spell of a portal sounds very complex, and in reality, it is even more difficult.
Ultimately, it was the Blood God, relying on his own arduous journey, who arrived first.
Like a stone dropped into a lake, the Blood God's arrival stirred up waves of spatial fluctuations around him.
Without Russell's reminder, Tony, Wanda, and Pietronoticed the Blood God.
A colossal body, tens of thousands of meters tall, like a mountain standing upright, reaching to the sky and Earth.
It was hard for Tony and the others not to notice.
"Is this the Blood God?"
Tony asked with a hint of disbelief.
Such a massive body, even on Earth-404, with his newly developed ultimate move—Tengai Shinsei—would be difficult to destroy, wouldn't it?
Russell said calmly:
"Roughly the same size as the Beast, it shouldn't be his true body, just a clone."
When killing the Beast, Russell had already discovered this.
The Beast's true body had died when its dimension was breached; what remained were two clones, one large and one small, and a dimensional fragment.
"This is just a clone?"
Wanda exclaimed.
She was now a little worried whether the White-Bearded Ancient One could really help her retrieve her parents' souls.
Across hundreds of kilometers, Russell and the Blood God's gazes met.
Their eyes held the same confidence and playfulness.
The Blood God spoke first: "Sorcerer Spider-Man, I told you before, you have no way to escape!"
Russell chuckled: "Blood God, I never thought of escaping. I've been looking forward to this reunion with an old acquaintance for a long time."
"Sharp-tongued. Bug, die!"
The Blood God said no more, a crimson energy beam shot from his eyes, directly at Russell.
The crimson light beam slanted down from above and to the side, tearing apart all the clouds and water vapor in its path.
Russell raised one hand forward.
The talent [Energy Absorption] activated.
The originally thick crimson light beam rapidly shrank as it approached, finally disappearing completely into Russell's palm.
Everything around Russell remained unaffected.
As if that massive crimson energy beam was merely an illusion.
The Blood God's pupils contracted, somewhat surprised by Russell's method of neutralizing his attack.
While the Blood God was stunned, Russell's gaze quickly swept over.
'Just as the intelligence obtained from Morlun indicated, the Blood God brought all the enhanced Inheritors familymembers with him.'
'Previously, the Sorcerer Ancient One and I underestimated Tony's combat power; I wonder if Tonycan bring any more surprises this time.'
'And Wanda, I hope she can also gain something from this battle.'
Russell planned to hold back in his fight with the Blood God, to observe Tony and Wanda well.
As for Pietro, he was just an afterthought.
Having made up his mind, Russell spoke:
"My battle with the Blood God is not suitable for Earth; otherwise, it would completely destroy the Planet's ecosystem."
"Later, I will find a way to take him away from Earth."
"The rest of the Inheritors family are up to you."
Noticing Wanda and Pietro were a bit nervous, Russellcomforted them:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Even if you accidentally die in battle, I will resurrect you."
Wanda and Pietro's foreheads darkened.
They thought Russell was going to say he would take care of them.
However, after Russell's interruption, the two were no longer as nervous.
Seeing this, Russell actively flew towards the Blood God.
Along the way, Russell continuously released divine power, forming an energy body that constantly expanded.
Soon, it expanded to ten thousand meters, then a hundred thousand meters...
Finally, it stopped expanding when it was a head taller than the Blood God.
Russell looked down, gazing at the Blood God, and asked: "To the Universe to fight?"
The Blood God snorted in anger and flew towards outside Earth first.
Earth-001 was the Inheritors family's base, and the Blood God also did not want to destroy it.
Russell followed the Blood God, deliberately flying alongside him.
He turned his head, flying and looking down at the Blood God at the same time.
Russell really didn't understand.
Why were these Dimensional Lords' (Beast, Blood God) clones all so massive?
Is being big useful?
Being hard is what's useful!
Despite the Blood God's clone being so large, his body's hardness was far inferior to Russell's.
However, if Russell fought with his true body, it would be difficult to hold back.
That's why he condensed an energy body to play with the Blood God.
Seeing Russell and the Blood God depart,
Below, the Inheritors began to stir.
The Inheritors didn't have the ability to detect Tony and the others from hundreds of kilometers away.
But the Blood God's energy beam just now had pointed the way.
Chapter 91 The Spider-Men Who Arrive Late
Chapter 92: The Late Spider-Men
Just as the Inheritors family rushed towards Tony and the other two, Tony and his companions were not idle.
Tony handed two communicators to Wanda and Pietro, signaling them to put them on for easier communication during battle.
Afterward, Tony began to explain the tactics to Wandaand Pietro.
"Jarvis, bring up the map."
"We can use a portal to get to this forest, which is between the two locations, ahead of them."
"Here, we can ambush them and catch the Inheritors family off guard."
After speaking, Tony opened a portal and arrived at the forest shown on the map.
Wanda and Pietro followed, asking, "What exactly should we do, Mr. Stark?"
Tony first handed a box of miniature detectors to Pietro, pointing in one direction and instructing, "Pietro, you're fast. Place these detectors along this direction, about one every thousand meters."
"Understood, Mr. Stark."
Pietro nodded, taking the detectors from Tony's hand.
With a flash, Pietro disappeared.
A few breaths later, he reappeared in the same spot.
Whoosh~
Pietro took a deep breath and then said, "Mission accomplished, Mr. Stark."
"Mhm."
Tony nodded, then continued, "Do you two have any other ideas?"
"No, this is fine, Mr. Stark," Wanda and Pietro replied.
On the other side, the Inheritors family members were running towards Tony and his companions.
As superhumans, after their enhancement, their running speed reached over three hundred kilometers per hour.
A mere few hundred kilometers would only take one or two hours, so there was no need to specifically look for transportation.
Morlun's expression suddenly changed, as if he remembered something, and he warned the other family members, "That Iron Man Tony Stark has a magical spell."
"He can open a portal and summon meteorites."
"Father was defeated by that move."
"When we fight later, everyone be careful."
"Once you see a golden light circle, quickly dodge."
The other family members nodded with solemn expressions.
Although they had been empowered by the Blood Godand were brimming with confidence, the formidable reputation of Soros, the patriarch, was still deeply ingrained in the Inheritors family's hearts.
If Soros couldn't withstand a move, they didn't believe they could either.
Soon, the Inheritors family arrived at a forest.
The forest was dense with trees, their branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out the light from the sky.
Only sporadic sunlight could penetrate through sparse gaps in the leaves, scattering down.
Morlun, who was passing through this forest, noticed something was amiss.
Why was that patch of sunlight particularly bright?
"Ca~re~ful~"
Faster than Morlun's voice was the meteorite that suddenly descended from the sky at dozens of times the speed of sound.
Under the cover of the tree branches and leaves, the Inheritors family were completely unaware of the portal that had suddenly opened in the sky.
Naturally, they were also unaware of the falling meteorite.
Rumble!!!
It wasn't one meteorite, nor two;
It wasn't three, nor even four;
But six or seven.
The portal continuously opened and closed, and several meteorites shot out from it.
The explosions and Impact generated by the meteorites striking the ground completely destroyed this dense forest.
Including the Inheritors family within the dense forest.
Tens of kilometers away, Wanda raised an energy barrier, shielding the group from the swirling dust and Impact.
Looking at the scene before them, like a purgatory on Earth, and the disappeared Inheritors family in the meteorite crater, Wanda secretly made a decision.
Spells should be grand and powerful.
When the aftermath had almost subsided, Tony said, "Let's go, we'll go check the situation."
With that, he took the lead and flew towards the center of the explosion.
And heading towards the center of the explosion was another group of people—the late Spider-Men.
They were also attracted by the sound of the explosion and were rushing towards the center of the explosion.
Unlike the Inheritors family, the Spider-Men had brought a flying vehicle when they came.
When the Spider-Men arrived, they saw such a scene:
A super-sized crater formed by seven large meteorite craters.
Standing on the edge of the large crater were a man and a woman.
Inside the large crater, Iron Man was wearing his Iron Man Suit, patrolling everywhere.
"Wow, it's Iron Man, he's an ally."
In the Multiverse, many Universes simultaneously had Spider-Man and Iron Man.
These Spider-Men from Universes with Iron Manimmediately recognized Tony's Iron Man Suit.
"Hey, Wanda, Pietro."
Gwen stepped forward, greeted the two, and then asked, "What happened here? Why are there so many meteorite craters?"
Hearing Gwen's question, the other Spider-Men also pricked up their ears.
They were also very curious.
Wanda explained, "After Russell and we arrived on this Earth, we encountered Soros, the patriarch of the Inheritors family, and the Blood God."
"Tony defeated Soros, and Morlun and the Blood Godescaped."
"Iron Man defeated Soros!!!"
Among the Spider-Men, several gasps were heard.
The Spider-Men who gasped exchanged glances, huddled together, and whispered to each other, "Is Iron Man in your World that powerful? That was Soros!"
"No, the Iron Man I know can't even beat me, let alone Soros."
Wanda continued to explain, "Afterward, we waited here for the Blood God and the Inheritors family to arrive, preparing to wipe out the Inheritors family."
Hearing Wanda's words, Miguel clenched his fist.
It was just as he thought.
The Mage Spider-Man, righteous!
Gwen then asked, "What about Russell? Why isn't he here?"
Russell, that unsociable name, was the Mage Spider-Man.
The other Spider-Men already knew this.
Wanda then explained, "The Blood God manifested a clone, and Russell went to outer space to fight the Blood God."
"They are not suitable for fighting on Earth."
"And Tony and we rushed here to ambush the other members of the Inheritors family."
"This meteorite crater is Tony's doing."
"He summoned meteorites to strike here."
"Summoned meteorites!"
Among the Spider-Men, gasps were heard again.
"No wonder this Iron Man could defeat Soros."
"That makes sense, that makes sense."
Inside the Iron Man Suit, Tony heard the Spider-Men's praise and was quite pleased with himself.
These Spider-Men are really nice people.
He just wondered if Earth-404 had a Spider-Man?
Russell?
Tony didn't believe he was some Mage Spider-Man.
Tony didn't believe it, but the Blood God said, He did.
In the cosmic void, the Blood God and Russell each occupied a side, temporarily stopping their hands.
As for the reason for stopping, it was naturally because of what happened on Earth.
The Blood God never expected that the Inheritors family, on whom He had placed high hopes, would be gone just like that.
However, if their souls were fine, then it was still okay.
Withdrawing His gaze from Earth, the Blood God looked at Russell's slightly dim energy body.
Confidently, He said, "Mage Spider-Man, this time, you have nowhere to run!"
Chapter 92 Russell: O Light, grant me strength!
Chapter 93 Russell: Oh Light, please grant me strength!
Hearing the Blood God's words, specially conveyed through the opened portal, Russell's expression was a little strange.
"Blood God, can't you change your line?"
"This is the third time you've said that."
"I'll answer you again, I never thought of escaping."
The Blood God sneered:
"Look at your energy body, it's already so dim."
"Is your divine power about to dry up?"
"You're at death's door, yet you're still so stubborn."
"Bugs are indeed bugs."
Divine power depleted?
Russell glanced at his energy body.
He suddenly understood.
In fact, this energy body was just a toy.
A toy Russell used to play with the Blood God.
Russell was so focused on having fun that he didn't notice his divine power was severely depleted.
However,
Unlike the attribute point energy on his panel.
Russell's own divine power could be replenished by absorbing physical energy.
When fighting in the real Universe, there was almost no need to worry about divine power depletion.
It was precisely because divine power could be replenished by physical energy that Russell was so bothered by the fact that his Energy Absorption talent couldn't absorb divine power.
If the Energy Absorption talent could absorb divine power, then Russell could exploit a bug.
He could absorb and convert physical energy into attribute points at a speed comparable to absorbing and converting magic energy.
Russell controlled his energy body, spread his arms, and faced the Sun.
"Oh Light, please grant me strength!"
As Russell's call faded, a solar beam composed of light and heat shot towards Russell.
Under the Blood God's shocked gaze.
Russell's originally ethereal and slightly dim energy body quickly solidified.
Not only that, but armor appeared on his previously thin body.
"Light emperor armor, combine!"
As the words fell.
An armor appeared, fitting over Russell's energy body.
The armor was mainly golden, with silver accents.
The Blood God looked at the greatly changed Russell, his mouth twitching.
He couldn't understand why the Sun could give Russellpower.
Boom!
Just as the Blood God was in a daze, a solar storm erupted from the Sun, crashing into his body.
Russell also seized the opportunity and rushed towards the Blood God.
Russell wanted to prove.
His divine power was endless.
"Russell and the Blood God, why is it not suitable for them to fight on Earth?"
Gwen's question interrupted the Spider-Men's praise of Tony and shifted their attention.
Wanda replied seriously: "Because they are too big."
"Too big?"
The Spider-Men were puzzled by this answer.
At this moment, Tony flew over, bringing a display screen.
Tony somehow managed to make the screen display the battle between Russell and the Blood God.
"Wow, what cool armor."
"Is this the Mage Spider-Man?"
"But what does this have to do with 'big'?"
The Spider-Men chattered, asking the key question.
Tony pointed to a string of numbers on the display screen.
"These are their height data."
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands."
"Oh my god, nine hundred and twenty thousand meters!"
Penny Spider-Man exclaimed.
With her Spider-Mech, she had always been the largest among the Spider-Men. (Except for Leo Parker)
She didn't expect that the Mage Spider-Man was now so much larger than her.
After the shock, Penny Spider-Man asked curiously.
"Huh, how did Mage Spider-Man and the Blood Godovercome the square-cube law?"
"What is the square-cube law?"
A handsome young man who hadn't attended school since he was ten asked.
Tony explained:
"When an object undergoes a proportional increase in size, its volume increases cubically, and its surface area increases quadratically."
"The strength of any material is limited; if simply scaled up, it definitely won't hold."
"Muscles and skin also apply to the square-cube law."
"Clearly, both the Blood God and Mage Spider-Man are not pure flesh and blood bodies at this moment, but energy bodies."
"Only in this way can it be explained why they are so huge yet can fight so flexibly."
After listening to Tony's explanation, Pietro nodded thoughtfully.
"So that's how it is."
And Tony, at this moment, had made up his mind.
After the matter of resurrecting Wanda and Pietro's parents was dealt with, he would definitely hire a tutor for the siblings.
"Go, Mage Spider-Man!"
A cheer erupted.
It turned out that on the screen, after Russell absorbed the stellar energy, recovered his divine power, and focused on fighting the Blood God, he was beating the Blood God back repeatedly.
Now, the two separated again, and Russell was about to use his ultimate move.
Russell raised his hand, and a Vishanti Holy Sword, condensed from pure solar energy, appeared.
Holding the Vishanti Holy Sword, Russell righteously said:
"Blood God, prepare to die. Darkness can never defeat Light!"
As his voice fell, the long sword in his hand pointed towards the Blood God.
Boom!
In the void, no sound was heard, but the Blood God felt as if he heard thunder roaring.
The next instant, a giant solar energy beam, at the speed of light, shot towards the Blood God.
The Blood God's figure flickered, about to dodge.
Whoosh!
But at some unknown point, Russell had already rushed in front of him, piercing his chest with a sword.
And, carrying the Blood God, he rushed towards the solar beam.
The Blood God struggled desperately, his fists continuously smashing against Russell's energy body.
But they all hit the energy shield, unable to cause any impact on Russell.
It was the Seraphim Shield.
The Seraphim Shield, also released with pure solar energy.
After a few hundred seconds, the giant solar beam finally arrived.
Rumble!
Instantly, it engulfed both figures.
Under the terrifying light and heat radiation of the solar beam, the scarlet energy in the Blood God's body continuously fell off.
Then it mysteriously disappeared.
Russell, still carrying the Blood God, continued to rush towards the Sun.
Under the shocked gaze of many Spider-Men in front of the screen, the Mage Spider-Man and the Blood God fell into the Sun together.
This scene looked truly terrifying.
But in reality, the temperature of the Sun's surface is less than six thousand degrees Celsius.
For the Blood God and Russell, it was not worth mentioning at all.
It was even less than the nearly one million degrees Celsius of the corona.
Under Russell's impact, the two continued to fall, constantly heading towards the center of the Sun.
And the surrounding temperature was also continuously rising.
First, they passed through the convection zone, then the radiation zone, and finally, reached the solar core.
Here, thermonuclear reactions were constantly occurring, releasing massive amounts of physical energy.
Upon reaching the solar core, Russell's talent was fully activated, controlling the surrounding energy.
The emperor armor on his energy body now seemed tangible.
Russell's aura grew stronger.
The Blood God, on the other hand, needed to use energy to strenuously resist the surrounding environment.
The high temperature and the energy released by thermonuclear fusion continuously assaulted him.
With this ebb and flow, the Blood God was even less a match for Russell.
Russell slightly modified the Blood God's words and returned them.
"Blood God, look at your body."
"It's already so broken."
"Is your energy about to dry up?"
Chapter 93 Bertrand Russell: I Have a Dream
Chapter 94: Russell: I Have a Dream
Hearing Russell return the words almost verbatim, Blood God's face darkened.
But Blood God did not retort. The outcome was already decided, and being stubborn was pointless.
Blood God looked deeply at Russell, asking for his name for the first time:
"Your name, Sorcerer Spider-Man."
Russell grinned. He liked the current Blood God very much.
Calling him Sorcerer Spider-Man with every other word.
"Russell."
"Russell, is it? I'll remember you, Sorcerer Russell."
Russell's smile froze.
With a thought, he unleashed a torrent of Solar energy onto Blood God.
Under the impact of the Solar energy, Blood God no longer resisted, and his form dimmed by several shades.
Boom!
Suddenly, Blood God stopped contracting his defenses and instead burst forth with all his energy, pushing Russell back.
Blood God looked at Russell and sneered:
"Sorcerer Russell, you defeated me by utilizing stellar energy and the environment of the star's core.
"But have you considered that this place could also be your burial ground?"
After speaking, Blood God didn't wait for Russell's response. His form erupted, heading towards the Sun's core.
At the same time, Blood God released all his energy, trying his best to heat the temperature of the Sun's core.
He wanted to heat the Sun's core to hundreds of millions of degrees, causing the Sun to begin helium fusion.
Helium fusion would release a large amount of heat, accelerating thermal runaway.
The thermal runaway reaction would cause the Sun to release millions of times its usual energy in just a few seconds.
This was the Solar Helium Flash.
By then, Russell and he, both in the Sun's core, would be doomed.
Even the entire Solar System would be affected.
With the defeat of this avatar, Blood God no longer considered reclaiming Soros's soul.
He now only wanted to drag Russell to die with him.
All these changes happened in a flash of lightning.
Russell saw through Blood God's intentions.
Although Russell was unlearned and didn't know the principles.
But he could feel the surrounding temperature rising, the thermonuclear reaction intensifying, and the released energy increasing.
Ordinary people might not have a way to deal with Blood God's mutual explosion tactic.
But Russell's talent happened to counteract it.
"Blood God, since you're actively releasing energy, I won't be polite."
Talent [Energy Absorption], activate!
In Blood God's terrified, disbelieving gaze.
The energy he had actively released to heat the star's core suddenly changed direction and flowed towards Russell.
Then, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, it disappeared without a trace.
And the star's core temperature that he had heated and raised earlier also gently dropped, returning to its initial state.
Blood God stared intently at Russell.
"I can understand you being able to devour my energy.
"But where did it go? Why can't I sense it?"
Blood God had seen mages who could plunder energy before.
But a situation like this, where after absorbing a large amount of his energy, the connection between him and the energy was instantly severed.
He had never seen it before.
Russell smiled wistfully, not answering Blood God, but talking to himself:
"I have a dream, and that is to have an endless supply of energy.
"One day, I met someone.
"He recklessly wielded his power, allowing it to be absorbed.
"I tried it back then, but after absorbing his energy, I would suffer from indigestion (my mind would be affected).
"At that time, I thought.
"If I were to meet him again after I became strong enough.
"I would definitely devour all the energy he released.
"Blood God, all encounters are reunions after a long separation."
Listening to Russell reminisce about the past, Blood Godseemed to return to that night.
The night he was tricked and defrauded of nearly 300 million energy points, one way or another.
He, the dignified God of Vampire Totems, Dimensional Lord of the Dimension of Blood, when had he ever suffered such indignity!
Bang!
Blood God abandoned this avatar, choosing to self-destruct.
And after Blood God's self-destruction, the dissipated energy was absorbed by Russell one by one.
If he said he would devour it all, then he would devour it all!
Not a single drop was left.
Attribute points +1557, 2800
After dealing with Blood God, Russell dispersed his giant energy body, but retained the small emperor armor.
He wasn't afraid of the star's core temperature, but his clothes were.
He couldn't go out naked, could he?
Divine power condensed again, forming Emperor's exclusive, silver-gold-edged Emperor Steed.
Russell flipped onto it and rushed out of the Sun.
Under the anxious and hopeful gazes of multiple Spider-Men in front of the screen.
The Sorcerer Spider-Man, also known as Emperor, Russell, wearing the emperor armor and riding the Emperor Steed, galloped out from the fiery red Sun.
"It's Sorcerer Spider-Man! Sorcerer Spider-Man won!"
Immediately, cheers erupted.
"Sorcerer Spider-Man is invincible! Emperor is invincible!"
A voice mixed in.
The other Spider-Men followed.
"Sorcerer Spider-Man is invincible! Emperor is invincible!"
For a time, the air was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
The second voice was undoubtedly Russell.
Only he knew the title of Emperor.
After leaving the Sun for a certain distance, Russellreturned to Earth through a portal.
The distance between the Sun and Earth is approximately 500 light-seconds.
This means that the image on the screen had at least a 500-second delay.
This time was enough for Russell to change his appearance and blend in with the Spider-Men.
Compared to the other cheering Spider-Men.
Spider-Man 2099 Miguel and Spider-Man UK exchanged smiles and let out a long sigh of relief.
Most of the Spider-Men here only knew that the Inheritors family had been eliminated and the crisis resolved.
But they hadn't actually come into contact with the Inheritors.
Or rather, most of the Spider-Men who had come into contact with the Inheritors family had died.
Away from the bustling crowd, Miguel and Spider-Man UK found a scorched rock and sat down.
Once seated, Spider-Man UK spoke first:
"It's truly incredible, the Inheritors family was just eliminated like that."
Miguel shook his head:
"No, there's still one Inheritor who got away—Karn.
"He didn't participate in this operation because he was exiled."
Spider-Man UK raised an eyebrow, smiling as he retorted:
"Are you saying we can't even deal with the last Inheritor?"
Miguel also smiled:
"Of course we can, we're Spider-Men!"
"Hahahahaha~"
"Hahahahaha~"
Concurrently, both of them burst into laughter.
After the laughter, Spider-Man UK asked curiously:
"Miguel, you've encountered more Spider-Men.
"Have you ever seen a Spider-Man as powerful and special as Sorcerer Spider-Man?"
Miguel countered:
"Are you asking me if Sorcerer Spider-Man is a Spider-Man?"
Spider-Man UK was silent, only nodding.
Looking at Russell, who was messing around with the Spider-Men, Miguel affirmed:
"He is definitely a Spider-Man!
"Although he hasn't been bitten by a radioactive spider, can't stick to walls, and doesn't have Spider-Sense.
"But he is a Spider-Man."
As he spoke, Miguel himself started laughing.
These were the words Miguel used to defend himself when Russell, in an unexpected turn, said Miguel wasn't a Spider-Man during their first meeting.
Chapter 94 Russell's Ancient Version of the Trinity
Chapter 95: Russell, the Ancient One's Trinity
After a commotion, Russell and his companions, along with the Web Warriors, returned home.
They all still had things to do.
The Spider-Men needed to pursue the last Inheritor—Karn.
As for Russell and his companions, they had to prepare for the resurrection work.
Among them:
Tony was responsible for the testing and experimentation of cloning technology.
White-Bearded Ancient One went to retrieve the souls of Wanda and Pietro's parents.
Russell went to retrieve Helen's soul.
Earth-65, New York, George's house.
Russell, Gwen, and George were all in the living room.
George looked at Russell with a hint of resentment.
Although he had already accepted Russell as his son-in-law in his heart.
He had also prepared himself mentally long ago.
But last time, this wild boar took his daughter out, and she didn't come back for five whole days.
Five whole days!
Noticing George's gaze, Gwen poked Russell in embarrassment.
Russell also gave an awkward laugh.
However, he wasn't flustered.
He was confident that one sentence would make Georgeforget about it.
"I've found a way to resurrect Helen."
Russell's extremely calm sentence completely stunned George.
George's expression instantly turned bewildered and disbelieving.
"Res-resurrect Helen?!"
Russell nodded, his tone firm: "Yes, resurrect Helen!"
Hearing Russell's affirmative words, George was somewhat at a loss.
Ever since Helen's death, he had dedicated himself entirely to his work at the police station.
He hoped to fill the emptiness in his heart and forget the pain of losing Helen through working day and night.
For so many years, he had been unwilling to face Helen's death.
And because of this, he couldn't handle his relationship with his daughter, Gwen, well.
But now, as the disguise called 'work' was torn away.
George was no longer a Director of the police station, but a husband who had lost his wife.
He began to panic, become fragile, and feel helpless.
Suddenly, George pinched himself hard to confirm whether he was dreaming.
Russell waited quietly for George to calm down, then spoke again:
"I need Helen's belongings to cast a spell and track the location of her soul."
"Alright, follow me."
George got up, leaning on the chair, and walked somewhat unsteadily towards the bedroom.
George's bedroom was very simple; apart from a bed, a table, and a chair, there was almost nothing else.
George came to the bed and knelt down.
From under the bed, he pulled out a box.
There was a thin layer of dust on the surface of the box.
Presumably, it had been opened once recently and then sealed again.
The box was opened, and the items inside were neatly categorized and arranged.
"Russell, look. Which ones do you need?"
George asked in a suppressed voice; he was finding it difficult to control his body now.
Russell's gaze was drawn to two rings in glass boxes.
These should be George and Helen's wedding rings, right?
Why, this style, I seem to have seen it somewhere before?
Russell quickly searched his memory and remembered.
It was George from Earth-404.
The ring he wore on his hand was also of this style.
Pointing at the rings, Russell said: "This one will do."
"Okay."
George slowly took the ring from the box and handed it to Russell.
He pointed at the rings and instructed: "This one is mine, this one is Helen's."
Russell's divine power flowed, forming mysterious runes.
He took the ring and placed it inside.
Instantly, the divine power was drawn, passing through the void, heading towards an unknown dimension.
Russell focused his mind, closely following this wisp of divine power.
Although there is no concept of space-time in the Super Vortex outside the real Universe.
The distance this wisp of divine power crossed and the time it consumed still far exceeded Russell's expectations.
After an unknown period, this wisp of divine power, guided by the pull, arrived at a soul in a crimson dimension.
This soul was Helen.
At this moment, she was in a daze, bobbing up and down in the River Styx.
And the faint crimson energy aura pervading the air of this dimension was very familiar to Russell.
This was Mephisto's hellish energy!
This hell was where Mephisto was located!
Why would Helen's soul run there?
Facing ordinary hell lords, Russell alone could easily go in and out seven times.
Asking for a soul, naturally, was not an issue.
As for Mephisto, in his home turf, Russell could also go in and out seven times.
But it would be difficult to protect Helen's soul.
With confusion, Russell slowly opened his eyes.
"Did you find it?"
Seeing Russell open his eyes, George and Gwen asked simultaneously.
"I found it."
Russell didn't want to spoil the mood and gave an affirmative answer.
With a thought, a portal appeared.
Destination: Earth-65, Kamar-Taj.
Russell stepped in, signaling George and Gwen to follow.
"George, Gwen, follow me."
Although he could let George and Gwen stay at home and wait for him to bring Helen's soul back.
Russell understood that feeling; every second felt incredibly long and was very unpleasant.
"Russell, you're here. I was just about to look for you."
Seeing Russell arrive, White-Bearded Ancient Onegreeted him first.
He glanced at Wanda and Pietro, who were beside White-Bearded Ancient One.
Russell immediately understood why White-Bearded Ancient One was looking for him.
"Sorcerer, are you also going to Mephisto's?"
"You too?"
White-Bearded Ancient One asked.
Russell nodded.
"That shouldn't be."
White-Bearded Ancient One muttered to himself.
"Helen's soul is from this Universe, why would it go to Mephisto's hell?"
Russell interrupted White-Bearded Ancient One's thoughts:
"Sorcerer, we can talk about this later. Let's do the important thing first."
"Okay."
White-Bearded Ancient One got up from his chair and exchanged a smile with Russell.
Since they were going to cause trouble for Mephisto, of course, they had to call in another person.
White-Bearded Ancient One drew a circle with his finger, magic Fire sparks flashed, and a portal appeared.
Destination: Earth-404, Kamar-Taj.
White-Bearded Ancient One took the lead, stepping through the portal.
Russell gestured to the others.
"Follow along."
George followed, somewhat bewildered.
From the moment he entered the first portal, he had been a bit clueless about what was happening.
Earth-404, Kamar-Taj, Ancient One's Sanctum.
At this time, Bald Ancient One had just finished her tea party.
During this period, she would hold a tea party promptly at 3 PM every afternoon.
On one hand, it was to publicize Russell's deeds, paving the way for Russell to succeed as Sorcerer Supreme;
On the other hand, it was to enjoy her retirement life in advance.
She had worked hard for hundreds of years, couldn't she enjoy herself?
Da da da ~
A series of footsteps came, followed by a group of people flocking into her tea room.
"Sorcerer Ancient One."
"Sorcerer Ancient One."
White-Bearded Ancient One and Bald Ancient Onegreeted each other first.
As soon as they met, without verbal communication, Bald Ancient One understood everything.
"So, we are going to Mephisto's hell together to demand the souls of Wanda and Pietro's parents, and Helen's?"
White-Bearded Ancient One and Russell nodded.
The three exchanged a smile, remembering that day in the Quantum Realm.
Chapter 95 Mephisto, Settle the Interest
Chapter 96: Mephisto, Settle the Interest.
Flame Hell, Mephisto's palace.
A musical was being performed here.
The play was titled "The Origin of Fear."
The playwright and protagonist were both Mephisto.
At this moment, there was only one audience member, also Mephisto.
Leaning back on his throne, Mephisto watched the performance below, lost in thought.
He was reminiscing about his past glory.
During the Origin of Fear event, he single-handedly incited numerous Hell Lords and various gods into internal strife.
Ultimately, he reaped the benefits and ascended to the throne of Satan.
Unfortunately, good times don't last.
"Alas~"
Mephisto sighed deeply; after falling from being Satan, he suffered another Waterloo on Earth-404.
Being extorted for two billion units of energy was truly like adding insult to injury.
However, in Mephisto's perception, his energy was not absorbed but stored in a location on Earth-404.
He still had a chance to reclaim this portion of energy.
Moreover, he had already formulated a plan.
"I wonder how Hope Van Dyne's mission is progressing."
"Only by finding Agatha can the next step of the plan be carried out."
"Damn it, if I hadn't been so severely injured before, Agatha wouldn't have been able to cut off contact and escape."
Thinking of the infuriating situation, Mephisto heavily pounded his throne.
The demons performing diligently below, thinking Mephisto was displeased with their show, couldn't help but tremble.
Flame Hell, Styx.
While Mephisto was singing and dancing, Russell and his group quietly infiltrated his Hell Dimension.
"Is this Hell? The resting place of souls."
Looking at the scene before them, countless souls bobbed aimlessly in the Styx.
Gwen, Wanda, George, and Pietro exclaimed softly.
Their voices carried sadness.
The Bald Ancient One comforted them:
"This is already quite good. For these souls, it's merely a long sleep."
The few nodded silently.
In this World where countless gods and devils exist.
If death was merely a long sleep, then it was indeed a blessing.
After comforting the few, the Bald Ancient One signaled Russell to act, to retrieve the souls of Helen and Wanda's parents from the Styx.
"Russell, you do it. Be careful, use your attribute-less energy, and don't disturb the spirits here."
Russell nodded, releasing his attribute point energy.
Carefully avoiding other spirits, he fished out the souls of Helen and Wanda's parents from the Styx.
But even though Russell was careful enough, ripples still spread across the Styx.
And these ripples were also sensed by Mephisto in his palace.
"Who is it? What kind of thief dares to steal souls from the Styx of the great Devil King, Hell Lord, Supreme Mephisto of the Demon World?"
As Mephisto's voice echoed, the Hell Fire on the banks of the Styx surged, locking down the surrounding space-time.
Amidst the endless flames, Mephisto, with his song and dance troupe, suddenly teleported to the scene.
Further away, countless Hell demons were also alarmed by the commotion here.
They all cast their gazes over.
Swish!
The moment Mephisto appeared, three gazes fell upon him.
The owners of these gazes were Russell, the White-Bearded Ancient One, and the Bald Ancient One, respectively.
At the same time, Mephisto's gaze also swept over the three in turn.
The two sides stood in silent confrontation, and for a moment, the tension was palpable.
"Who are these three people, daring to face the King without any fear?"
"No matter who they are, they are dead."
"That's not necessarily true; if they dare to come to the Styx to steal, they must have some backing."
"You never know. Some humans are incredibly bold."
In the distance, the demons observing this scene began to chatter amongst themselves.
Although their opinions differed, they generally believed that...
Mephisto would surely display his divine power and uphold the dignity of the Hell Lord.
"Hmph!"
Mephisto snorted coldly.
Scarlet energy surged, sweeping towards Russell and the others, enveloping them.
Mephisto's figure flickered, carrying endless Hell Fire, and rushed into the scarlet energy.
The next instant, the Hell Fire ignited the scarlet energy, turning it into a sea of fire.
"Flame Domain! It's the King's Flame Domain!"
The demons exclaimed.
They never expected the King to unleash such a powerful move right away.
"It seems these little thieves have some ability to force the King to use the Flame Domain."
"But it won't be long before they turn to ashes, not even a soul left."
"How pitiful. Why did they have to anger the King?"
In the demons' minds, Russell and the others had already been condemned to death.
However, the situation within the sea of flames was completely different from what they imagined.
After using the sea of flames to block his subordinates' senses, Mephisto questioned with a dark expression:
"What are you doing in my Hell?"
"Has my scheme been discovered?"
Russell smiled:
"Old Mephisto, I'm taking a few souls; you don't mind, do you?"
"I do mind! I mind very much!"
Mephisto said coldly.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
'It seems they haven't discovered my scheme. They just came in to take a few souls.'
"The last transaction is over. If you want to take souls from me, you need to pay a price."
A price?
If they had to pay a price, why would Russell, the White-Bearded Ancient One, and the Bald Ancient One come together?
"Old Mephisto, that's where you're wrong."
"The last transaction, from its inception to your payment of energy..."
"Took about four days. (Real Universe time)"
"Shouldn't you settle the interest for these four days?"
Mephisto was silent.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
"This is my Hell. It's not a place you can just come and go as you please."
Mephisto spoke harsh words, but his body was honest.
The surrounding Hell Fire showed no intention of approaching Russell and the others.
Russell, the White-Bearded Ancient One, and the Bald Ancient One said nothing.
They just took a step forward.
And another step forward.
"The authority of Hell to contain souls comes from Death. Aren't you afraid I'll complain to Death if you arbitrarily reverse life and death?"
Mephisto said sharply.
He really didn't want to fight Russell and the others at this time.
It wasn't worth it.
But if he let them leave directly, what if they came again in the future?
One step back, and every step is a retreat.
The White-Bearded Ancient One smiled lightly, pointing to himself:
"I, I'm with Eternity."
Saying that, he took another step forward.
Russell and the Bald Ancient One followed suit in tacit understanding.
Facing the pressing advance of the three, Mephisto's expression continuously changed.
Finally, he snorted coldly and released the surrounding space-time confinement.
"Consider this the interest for now; don't let there be a next time. Now get out."
Russell and the other two didn't mind Mephisto's nonsense.
A portal appeared, taking the others away.
The moment the portal closed, cheers erupted from the demons on the other side.
"Look, those people were indeed completely burned, even their souls."
Chapter 96 "Tony, Go, Become the Sorcerer Supreme"
Chapter 97: "Tony, Go, Become Sorcerer Supreme."
Returning to the Kamar-Taj tea room, the two Ancient Ones left first to make tea for everyone.
George, Gwen, Wanda, and Pietro were still in a state of shock, unable to fully recover.
Just now, Mephisto had arrived with monstrous magical flames, looking menacing.
They had thought a fight was about to break out.
They never expected such a turn of events.
A short while later, the two Ancient Ones returned together.
The White-Bearded Ancient One carried the teacups, and the Bald Ancient One brought the tea.
One handed out cups, the other poured the tea.
Everyone took the tea and drank a few sips, gradually calming down.
Although there was no fight, Mephisto's infernal sea of Fire was quite frightening.
After calming down, everyone turned their expectant gazes towards Russell.
Their eyes revealed an irrepressible excitement.
Russell didn't waste words; he opened the Mirror Dimension and released the souls of Wanda's parents and Helen.
However, unlike the reunion they had hoped for, the souls of Wanda's parents and Helen looked blank, just standing there as if they had lost their minds.
Seeing their gazes turn from anticipation to disappointment and worry, Russell explained:
"Helen, Oleg, and Irina (Wanda's parents) their souls have been separated from their bodies for too long."
"Combined with the environment of hell and the erosion of magic energy, they ended up like this."
"Once the hellish energy is slowly removed and they are nourished with gentle energy for a period, they can recover."
With that, Russell returned the souls of Oleg and Irina to Wanda and Pietro.
"Wanda, Pietro. You are already mature mages; you should know what to do, right?"
Wanda and Pietro carefully took their parents' souls and enveloped them with their mental energy.
"We understand. But, Mr. Stark, how much longer until the cloning experiment can begin?"
Wanda and Pietro were eager to revive their parents.
"Why don't you call him and ask?"
Russell was helpless; he wasn't an oracle and wouldn't know when Tony would be ready for the cloning experiment.
Pietro immediately took out his phone and called Tony.
Then, he was met with Tony's complaints.
"Come on, it's been less than half a day since I returned from Earth-001. In half a day, the project team members haven't even finished reviewing the data."
Pietro said sheepishly, "Then, roughly how long will it take for the cloning experiment to proceed?"
"The entire set of instruments has been brought back, so theoretically, the experiment can be conducted now."
After a moment of silence, Tony continued.
"However, the Inheritors family's technology is only applicable to their family members in many aspects."
"It will take a long time to modify it to suit ordinary people."
"How long will it take?" Pietro pressed.
"I'm not sure. Even with Jarvis's assistance, it will take at least three to five years."
Three to five years?
Pietro and Wanda exchanged glances.
Acceptable.
George and Gwen, father and daughter, exchanged glances.
Acceptable.
Russell: "Is there any way to speed it up?"
Pietro, Wanda, George, and Gwen could accept it because their loved ones had passed away years ago, and a few more years wouldn't make much difference.
But Russell couldn't accept it.
Matt was still young.
A month or two would be fine, but three to five years?
How would he explain that to Matt?
Tony hung up the phone.
The next second, golden sparks flashed, and Tonystepped out of a portal.
"During the experiment, embryo cultivation requires a lot of time."
"If we can use the Time Stone to accelerate it, this part of the required time can be shortened."
"It could probably reduce it by one or two years."
After speaking, Tony looked at Russell.
"But in that case, Russell, you'll have to stay in the lab to cooperate."
Russell shook his head.
He didn't want to spend several years working in a lab.
"There's another way, Tony, see if it works."
Since the scientific approach would take a long time, Russell decided to cheat.
Russell extended his hand, palm up, and condensed a ball of attribute point energy.
"The current problem is that some parts of the cloned body are not suitable for an ordinary human soul."
"So what if I make some self-adaptive adjustments to both the body and the soul?"
Tony asked, "Is this the energy you used to nourish Hope's soul? Does it have any other uses?"
He remembered that last time in the Quantum Realm, Russell gave Natasha this kind of energy to nourish Hope's soul.
The effect seemed much better than his own mental energy nourishing his parents' souls.
"Hmm."
Russell nodded and explained.
"The characteristic of this energy is to strengthen the body and soul, making them self-adaptively evolve towards the optimal direction."
Tony looked at the attribute point energy in Russell's hand, half-believing, half-doubting:
"There's such magic energy? I've never heard of it. But if that's the case, it might be worth a try."
After speaking, he reached out, signaling Russell to give him some to take back and study.
Russell didn't procrastinate and immediately transferred a huge sum to Tony.
Attribute point energy worth 10 years of lifespan.
Tony put away the energy, but not his hand.
Russell said, displeased:
"Tony, what do you mean? The energy I gave you is more than enough for the experiment."
Tony's expression didn't change: "Do I understand cloning technology, or do you?"
Looking at Tony's expression, Russell understood.
He wanted to deduct a portion of the energy for himself.
After all, Tony was already over forty.
Coupled with staying up late every day to research suits and spells, he inevitably felt overwhelmed.
"Tony, if you need this energy to improve your body, just tell me directly, I won't laugh at you."
With a flick of his hand, Russell produced another large sum.
Attribute point energy worth five thousand years of lifespan.
Seeing this ball of energy, Tony's gaze towards Russellchanged.
Good heavens, so you're this rich.
And you only gave me so little just now.
Russell explained:
"This ball of energy, Tony, you can absorb it slowly; it should last a very long time."
"Depending on the absorption efficiency, it should be able to increase your physique by dozens of times, and your mental power will also be greatly enhanced."
"As for the remaining energy, it will be converted into lifespan, which should add three or four thousand years."
Hearing Russell's words, Tony's expression changed repeatedly.
He believed Russell.
He had witnessed Russell's physique and mental strength.
"However."
Here it comes, Tony thought to himself.
Such good things usually come with a 'but'.
"However, all things related to magic, their source determines everything. Tony, you should understand this, right?"
"Is the source of this energy you, Russell?" Tony asked.
"Hmm." Russell nodded.
Tony didn't hesitate and took the energy from Russell's hand.
"What's there to hesitate about? Russell, just name your price."
"A mage, after all, who doesn't borrow from someone else?
"Superman's physique, thousands of years of lifespan, and no side effects."
"Other magic sources aren't so generous."
Hmm, this reaction is very mage-like.
Russell grinned.
"Tony, I'll give you a discount."
"Twice the amount of other magic energy."
Tony's expression subtly shifted.
This was a genuine, honest discount.
There was a difference between energies.
For mages, often what limited their cultivation was not the quantity of energy.
But their own capacity to bear it.
And those that could extend lifespan and enhance physique were generally dark magic, with very significant side effects.
Well, it wasn't that White magic couldn't do it.
It was that the founder of White magic, Vishanti, wouldn't allow it.
Vishanti passed down White magic with the intention that mages would use it to fight against dark magic and protect the real World from magical intrusion.
Not for mages to become the source of disruption in the real World.
Tony asked suspiciously, "Are there no other costs?"
"Other costs?"
Russell pretended to ponder, then said.
"How about this, Tony, after you become Sorcerer Supreme, you'll look out for me."
Hmm, the key was becoming Sorcerer Supreme.
The Bald Ancient One, watching this scene, couldn't help but smile.
To persuade Russell to agree to succeed as Sorcerer Supreme, she had promised most of her wealth—a total of over a billion in various energies.
And now Russell, with five thousand energy, wanted to trick Tony into becoming Sorcerer Supreme.
But then again, scarcity makes things valuable.
Not considering Russell reneging on his word.
Russell's attribute point energy was indeed more noble than most other energies.
"Tony, your becoming Sorcerer Supreme would be the best return for Russell."
Tony looked at the Bald Ancient One in confusion.
"Sorcerer Ancient One, didn't you want Russell to succeed as Sorcerer Supreme?"
The Bald Ancient One's desire for Russell to become Sorcerer Supreme was well-known in Kamar-Taj.
However, Russell's performance was indeed fierce enough.
Other mages had no objections.
The Bald Ancient One explained with a smile:
"Sorcerer Supreme usually refers to the most powerful mage."
"Either possessing more powerful magic skills than others;"
"Or possessing more powerful magic energy than others."
"Or both."
"Typically, a World will only have one, at most two, Sorcerer Supremes."
"But ultimately, Sorcerer Supreme lies in strength, not in an empty title or definition."
"As long as one is strong enough to subdue others."
"Even if a World has three, four, or even more Sorcerer Supremes, it doesn't matter."
"In the end, it's just an empty title."
The White-Bearded Ancient One added at this point:
"However, if one passes the Vishanti trial, it would be different."
"A Sorcerer Supreme who passes the trial can borrow even greater power from Vishanti."
Wanda, who had been listening, asked in confusion:
"What's the difference between the two?"
She was also one of Russell's favored Sorcerer Supremecandidates and was quite interested in this topic.
The White-Bearded Ancient One stroked his beard, hesitating:
"Different titles? One has Vishanti certification, one doesn't."
The Bald Ancient One explained with a smile:
"Don't mind that."
"Except for the 616 Universe, Sorcerer Supremes in other Universes don't need to pass the Vishanti trial."
"They all fought their way to the top."
Upon hearing this, the White-Bearded Ancient One was displeased:
"My Sorcerer Supreme title was also earned through fighting."
"Only Stephen's wasn't."
"To say something our patriarch wouldn't like."
"My Sorcerer Supreme is the Sorcerer Supreme among all mages."
"Not Vishanti's Sorcerer Supreme."
When I wrote to 2000 words, I felt it wasn't a good place to stop, so I kept writing.
Then I wrote to 3000 words, and I still felt it wasn't a good place to stop.
But, seven o'clock arrived, and it was time for an update.
Chapter 97 Matters Before Resurrection
Chapter 98: Pre-Resurrection Matters
After Mr. Stark's explanation, Wanda understood.
"I see."
"The difference between a Sorcerer Supreme and a Vishanti-certified Sorcerer Supreme."
"One is recognized by strength."
"One gains strength through recognition."
"And one's own strength is the most important thing."
Mr. Stark's expression froze, then he nodded meaningfully.
Wanda's words reminded him of Russell.
Both were a bit reckless.
Are such words to be spoken casually?
Aren't they afraid that the patriarchs will hear it and directly silence them, not allowing them to use White magic?
But Russell and Wanda didn't seem to be afraid.
Russell used his pirated magic, which only looked like the original.
Wanda, she mainly used Chaos Magic.
Other magic was merely supplementary.
However, Tony had a different understanding of Mr. Stark's words.
Although his magic power accumulation was not yet sufficient, Tony's understanding of magic was already profound.
In his opinion, Vishanti certification was equivalent to patent authorization and financial support (spells and energy).
If needed, he could, like Russell, research and develop his own pirated versions of most spells.
As for insufficient energy, preventing him from using highly destructive spells, he could compensate for this deficiency with technology.
Leaving other things aside, the Tengai Shinsei technique.
If purely using magic, ordinary mages simply couldn't achieve such destructive power.
After clarifying these points, Tony bid farewell.
"I'll go back and continue my experiments; I expect to have results in a few days."
Gwen, George, Wanda, Pietro:
"We're counting on you, Tony (Mr. Stark)."
After watching Tony leave through the portal, Wandalooked at Russell.
Russell: "?"
Wanda said with some anticipation and embarrassment:
"Can my parents also use your special energy, Russell?"
If possible, she naturally wanted to resurrect her parents quickly, rather than waiting three to five years.
But constantly troubling Russell also made her quite shy.
"Of course."
Russell readily agreed.
"Thank you so much, Russell." x2.
Wanda and Pietro both thanked Russell repeatedly.
After thanking him, a large ball of crimson energy slowly appeared in Wanda's palm.
"Russell, this is my payment, Chaos Energy."
Wanda had just heard that Russell's asking price for Tonywas double the energy.
Wanda wasn't sure what her discount was, so she released all the awakened Chaos Energy from her body.
Seeing this, Russell smiled wryly and refused Wanda:
"Wanda, take it back. You're not like Tony."
"Tony's magic energy is absorbed externally; it's an external substance."
"Your Chaos Magic is innate; it's a part of your life."
"Without it, your life will gradually come to an end."
"But..."
Wanda hesitated.
Unlike Tony, a billionaire and genius scientist, she had nothing else to offer as payment besides Chaos Magic.
Slightly modifying the Bald Ancient One's words, Russellused them to persuade Wanda:
"Wanda, if you can become the Sorcerer Supreme, that would be the best reward for me."
Feeling the White-Bearded Ancient One's sudden gaze, Russell thought for a moment and continued:
"However, Wanda, don't feel pressured."
"Just cultivate with a calm mind, and as your Chaos Magicawakens, you will become stronger and stronger."
"Tell her what she can do for you now."
The White-Bearded Ancient One's voice echoed in Russell's mind.
Russell sighed inwardly.
"Sorcerer, I don't need Wanda to do anything right now."
The White-Bearded Ancient One replied.
"Anything will do."
"Wanda, I need your help with something later. I'll trouble you then."
Wanda nodded, her voice cheerful.
"Okay, Russell."
Russell's finger traced through the void, and golden magic sparks flashed.
A portal slowly appeared, leading to the seventh floor of Russell's bookstore in New York.
"George, this is my house in New York."
"For now, you and Gwen can stay here."
"After Helen is resurrected, you can go back with her."
As he spoke, Russell handed Helen's soul to George.
"Helen should wake up in another day or two."
"In her soul state, only you can see her."
"And she won't be able to touch physical objects."
"Remember to comfort her then."
"Okay. Thank you, Russell."
George excitedly reached out for Helen's soul.
He didn't catch it.
Gwen: "Let me do it, George."
Focusing her mental power on her hand, Gwen took Helen's soul.
"By the way, George, did you take leave?"
Russell suddenly asked.
George wasn't like him and Gwen.
George was the Director of the New York Police Department, holding a high position.
If he stayed here for a few more days, would the police department on Earth-65 count George as absent without leave?
George was about to speak when the White-Bearded Ancient One spoke first:
"I can help George take leave. I'm also going back anyway."
Without waiting for George to speak, Russell thanked the Ancient One on his behalf:
"Then I'll trouble you, Sorcerer."
"By the way, George. Do you still remember what you looked like when you were young?"
"What I looked like when I was young?"
George looked at Russell in confusion, a bit bewildered.
Russell smiled mysteriously and clapped George on the shoulder.
The next instant, attribute point energy surged into George's body.
Under Russell's powerful mental control, it rapidly strengthened and repaired him.
In an instant, hair grew wildly all over George's body.
Before long, he became an ape-man.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Gwen was the first to burst out laughing.
Wanda and Pietro followed closely.
Russell also gave an embarrassed laugh.
"Sorry, George. This is my first time helping someone else strengthen, so I'm inexperienced."
George slowly extended his hand; he could feel the energy contained within this body.
Even if he were a dozen years younger, his body wouldn't be as healthy and strong as it was now.
Suddenly, George remembered something.
He took out his phone and looked at the black screen.
Reflected on the screen was his younger face.
Russell's voice also sounded at this moment.
"This way, after Helen is resurrected, she shouldn't feel unfamiliar when she sees you, George."
"But for Gwen, I can't do anything."
"I can't just turn her back into a child, can I?"
After explaining to George, Russell began to instruct Wanda.
"Wanda, please cast a confusion spell on George. Make others overlook the change in his appearance."
"Okay, Russell."
Wanda assented.
Crimson energy appeared on her fingertips, slowly tracing before George's eyes.
Mysterious runes flashed and then disappeared.
"Done."
Wanda said cheerfully.
For her, this was just a simple little spell.
Of course, for Russell, it was the same.
After Wanda finished helping, Russell took out a small ball of attribute point energy and handed it to her, instructing her.
"No incantation guidance is needed."
"Just separate it and place it on your parents' souls."
Chapter 98 Gwenwanda's Family Reunion
Chapter 99: Gwen and Wanda's Family Reunion
Time flew by, and half a month passed in a flash.
One day, Tony informed Russell that the experiment was successful.
Accompanied by Russell, the resurrection ceremony officially began.
First to appear was Matt Murdock.
On the one hand, he had absorbed Russell's attribute point energy for the longest time, his soul was the strongest, and his fault tolerance was high.
On the other hand, if the experiment wasn't conducted soon, he would learn the technique of interfering with the real World from the spiritual World.
"Russell, how about waiting two more days?"
Matt asked with some hesitation.
He had practiced diligently for many days, sleepless, foodless, and drinkless.
He was finally about to master the technique of a spiritual body interfering with the real World.
But then, Russell told him that a new body could be created for him.
So, what was the meaning of his arduous practice during this period?
Russell patted Matt's shoulder and poured him a bowl of chicken soup:
"Matt, that's life.
"You never know whether tomorrow or a surprise will arrive first."
Matt rolled his eyes, ignored Russell, and walked straight to the nutrient capsule.
Looking down at his body, Matt asked Tony:
"What should I do next?"
Tony replied:
"Just lie down. Don't resist, just follow the traction, slowly adjust, and adapt."
"Okay."
Matt obeyed and lay down in the nutrient capsule.
When the body and soul made extensive contact, streaks of pearly white light emerged.
This was the attribute point energy from the soul and body at work.
The pearly white light slowly and powerfully pulled Matt's body and soul.
Crossing the mental and real dimensions, it gradually merged the two into one.
Russell watched the process from the side.
If anything went wrong, he would immediately save Matt's soul.
Unexpectedly, under the pull of the pearly white light, Matt's soul did not feel any discomfort.
Instead, he seemed to be enjoying it.
And from time to time, he showed an expression of sudden realization.
Russell didn't understand, not at all.
He could only ask Matt after the experiment was over.
The experiment process was also longer than imagined.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
"Tony, how much longer?"
Tony glanced at the control panel and said nonchalantly:
"Looking at the progress bar, it'll be another ten days."
Russell was puzzled: "Why does it take so long? Tony, your previous experiments, all combined, didn't take ten days, did they?"
Tony retorted: "Can humans and white mice be the same?"
Russell asked: "Is Matt the first human subject for the experiment?"
Tony nodded: "Isn't that why you're here?"
Russell was silent.
"Poor Matt."
"I can hear you."
Matt's voice suddenly echoed in the spiritual World.
Russell and Tony exchanged glances.
They both chose to change the subject.
Russell: "Tony, do you have a way to calibrate time across different Worlds and dimensions?"
The difference in time flow rates across different Worlds was Russell's biggest hidden danger when traveling the Multiverse, and it had troubled him for a long time.
Now, it was perfect for changing the subject.
Unexpectedly, Tony gave a positive answer:
"Yes. Ever since I accidentally entered the Quantum Realm last time, I've been trying to find a way.
"To find a reference time coordinate to calibrate the time flow rates of different Worlds."
Then, Tony frowned and explained:
"However, there's a problem.
"That is, you can only know the ratio of the time flow rate at your current location to the standard time.
"You cannot know the ratio of other locations to the standard time across Universes.
"Thus, when traveling to other Universes, you can only roughly estimate the time of the original Universe, without getting an accurate number."
Russell pondered for a while and offered a suggestion.
"Hmm, perhaps you could ask the Web Warriors, they are a cross-Multiverse organization after all, maybe they have a way."
He couldn't help with the technical aspects.
But he had connections.
Tony thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, after this is done, I'll contact Miguel."
The long ten days finally passed.
Everything went very smoothly; Matt's soul and body perfectly merged.
It was as if he was factory original.
Including Matt's eyes.
Erin reached out and waved her hand in front of Matt's eyes, seeing that Matt's eyeballs weren't focusing, and asked curiously:
"Matt, what's wrong with your eyes?
"How come you can't see again after reshaping a body?"
Matt smiled and said contentedly:
"Erin, I didn't say I couldn't see."
As he spoke, Matt's eyeballs refocused, moving left and right with Erin's waving hand.
"I seem to have two perspectives now.
"One is to see with my eyes.
"The other is to perceive with my other senses.
"I just haven't adapted yet."
Matt was indeed very satisfied.
His Superman senses had not been lost with the restoration of his vision; instead, they had become stronger.
"Matt, do you have any discomfort in your body?"
Wanda, who was beside him, asked with concern.
If Matt's body had no adverse effects, then the experiment for her parents could begin.
Noticing Wanda's little thoughts, Matt comforted her:
"The experiment was very successful, and I feel everything is good.
"There were no adverse reactions during the experiment either."
After listening to Matt, Wanda looked at Russell and Tony with hopeful eyes.
Oleg and Irina, meanwhile, comforted their daughter, who seemed to have suddenly grown ten years older, yet also not grown at all.
"Wanda, don't worry. Being able to see you and Pietroagain, we are already very satisfied."
As parents, compared to the joy of regaining their bodies, they felt even more heartache for their children.
A pair of ten-year-old twin siblings, in the chaotic environment of Sokovia.
It must have been very difficult to survive and grow up healthy.
Meeting the hopeful gazes of Wanda, Pietro, Gwen, and George, Russell gave a positive response:
"Let's start the experiment."
After speaking, he looked at Tony.
He only served as a backup.
The one truly arranging the experiment had to be Tony.
"Since there's no problem, let's do it together."
Tony also nodded and pointed to the three nutrient capsules.
"Lie in, you don't have to do anything, just treat it as sleeping."
Helen, Oleg, and Irina heard this and walked into their respective nutrient capsules.
Next, it was just like Matt.
Pearly white light emerged, pulling their souls and bodies together.
The only difference was that Matt, as an Apprentice Sorcerer, could comprehend the secrets and connections between the soul and body during this process, enhancing his magical knowledge.
As for Helen, Oleg, and Irina,
They quickly fell into a drowsy state.
Like a beautiful dream, in the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
Ten days later, when Helen, Oleg, and Irina woke up.
At this time, they had been separately placed in two different rooms.
One room was for Wanda and Pietro's family.
One room was for George, Helen, and Gwen's family.
After ten or more years, these two families were reunited once again.
Chapter 99 News of Thanos
Chapter 100: News of Thanos
Several days had passed since Helen's body was reshaped.
Helen had completely familiarized herself with her current body.
More than a month had passed since George left Earth-65.
But George said that he had more than enough annual leave.
So, George and Helen remained on Earth-404, living a blissful life as a family of three plus one.
As for why they didn't return to Earth-65...
It was because Gwen decided to move to Earth-404 for university.
And she became schoolmates with Wanda and Pietro.
Her admission was arranged through Stark Industries.
In the evening, on the seventh floor of the bookstore.
George's family and Russell were having dinner together.
Dinner was lavish.
Among the dishes was a lemon sea bass personally prepared by Helen.
"Russell, here you go."
"Thank you, Helen."
Russell took the plate from the smiling Helen and thanked her.
Then he cut into the sea bass and savored it delightfully.
After Helen's soul reawakened and she learned what happened after her death, as well as Russell and Gwen's relationship...
She scolded George, complaining that he didn't understand etiquette.
And she said she wanted to make this dish for Russell to make up for it.
Russell checked online.
In the U.S., this dish is essentially a must-have for a son-in-law or daughter-in-law's first visit, representing the family's approval of him.
Seeing Russell eating heartily and happily...
George, not to be outdone, also started eating quickly.
He hadn't eaten Helen's cooking in a long time.
For a moment, at the dinner table...
Russell and George buried their heads in their food, as if competing.
Meanwhile, Helen and Gwen sat together.
They chatted about everyday life while eating.
However, the mother and daughter looked more like sisters.
As for Wanda and Pietro, it wasn't so heartwarming.
Although it was almost evening, the siblings were still in tutoring sessions.
The tutors were all hired by Tony at a high price.
Every one of them was highly professional.
After Oleg and Irina were resurrected, Tony discussed with them.
He wanted to fund private tutors for Wanda and Pietro to fill their educational gaps.
After learning about Wanda and Pietro's recent situation over the years...
Oleg and Irina both agreed.
And Russell also offered a suggestion.
That was to let them open a beverage shop next to the bookstore.
To quickly reintegrate into society.
"Four glasses of Mango Pomelo Sago, less ice, less sugar."
"Oh, Irina. Are Wanda and Pietro still studying?"
"It's Russell."
Irina greeted Russell while operating the machine to make milk tea.
"Wanda and Pietro still have some homework to finish.
"Once they're done with their homework, I'll remind them to go to Kamar-Taj to learn magic."
That's right.
Besides daily science tutoring, Wanda and Pietro also needed to go to Kamar-Taj to learn magic knowledge.
"Hmm, I was going to say, why not give them a little more rest time?
"Their lifespans will be much longer than ordinary people's; there's no need to rush so much."
Russell hesitated for a moment, then explained.
Although he really wanted his Sorcerer Supreme Teammember, Ms. Wanda, to grow quickly...
But how many hours had they been studying this day?
Russell wasn't a black-hearted capitalist like Tony.
Irina smiled awkwardly and handed the four finished Mango Pomelo Sago drinks to Russell.
She also realized that she seemed to be pushing Wandaand Pietro too hard.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Russell. After class, I'll let them rest."
Russell smiled as he took the milk tea.
He didn't mind Wanda's absence from today's magictraining.
In Russell's perception...
Ever since Wanda's parents were resurrected, the awakening speed of Wanda's Chaos Magic had significantly accelerated.
This shows that it's not only tragedy that can unleash Wanda's potential.
Comedy can too.
Russell said goodbye to Irina and was about to return to the bookstore.
Suddenly, a rainbow light flashed in the distance.
This was the Bifrost Bridge.
That direction was Thor and Loki.
magic sparks twinkled, and a portal opened.
Russell placed three milk teas back in the living room and greeted George and the others.
"I'm going out for a bit; don't wait for me to come back."
After speaking, he stepped out, disappeared from the bookstore entrance, and arrived at the top floor of a hotel.
East Manhattan, Hilton Hotel rooftop.
When Russell arrived, several people were already waiting there.
They were Thor, Loki, Sif, and The Warriors Three.
Thor, dressed in a suit, asked with a smile:
"Sif, you came to find us. Is there something wrong?"
Sif, wearing her armor, looked at Thor's attire, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
She felt that the Great Prince of Asgard seemed much gentler after taking off his armor.
"Yes, there is something, but it's not for you and Loki; it's for Sorcerer Russell.
"Previously, Sorcerer Russell entrusted Heimdall to search for news of Thanos, the Master of the Dark Order.
"Heimdall found it, but he couldn't contact Sorcerer Russell.
"So he asked us to come to Midgard to inform Sorcerer Russell."
After speaking, Sif saluted in Russell's direction.
"Sorcerer Russell, Asgard has received news.
"Thanos is cooperating with Ronan, the Kree Legion Commander, to acquire the Cosmic Orb.
"His adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula, have successively appeared by Ronan's side.
"And the Cosmic Orb is on Morag.
"By staking out Morag, you can find Ronan or Thanos's two adopted daughters.
"Then, through them, find Thanos.
"It's just that Asgard finds it inconvenient to act against these two forces, so please forgive Sorcerer Russell."
Russell drank his milk tea in one gulp, nodded, and said:
"I understand. Asgard has a vast enterprise and cannot easily make enemies.
"However, can you arrange a guide for me?"
Although Russell could easily travel through the Multiverse.
He could also easily cross from one end of the Universe to the other.
But that didn't stop him from getting lost.
He had never been to Morag.
Loki, also in a suit, had a flash of divine light in his eyes.
An opportunity to get close to Sorcerer Russell had arrived!
Loki knew in his heart the true purpose of Odin sending him and Thor to Midgard—to befriend Kamar-Taj and strengthen the relationship between the two forces.
Among them, winning over Russell was crucial.
"Russell, I'll be your guide."
Loki stepped forward and confidently explained to everyone.
"Other Asgardians might be recognized, but I won't be; I can transform into the appearance of people from other Planets."
As he spoke, Loki walked and shifted his form.
He transformed back and forth between Kree, Skrulls, and Shi'ar, proving that what he said was true.
"Well done, Loki. Truly my brother."
Thor clapped Loki's shoulder forcefully.
"This mission is entrusted to you."
Loki looked at Thor, slowly forming a question mark in his mind.
How did this suddenly become a mission entrusted to him by Thor?
