Chapter 132 Russell's Eyes Lit Up
'Extorting' a Dimensional Demon God?
Tony had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Mephisto?"
Tony remembered.
A few months ago, the Avengers assembled for the first time and went to the Quantum Realm to rescue Russell.
However, they stumbled upon Russell, two Sorcerer Ancient Ones, and Mephisto playing mahjong.
And conducting a transaction.
Russell nodded, confirming Tony's guess.
"That time in the Quantum Realm, I earned two billion units of energy from Mephisto."
Hearing this number, Tony couldn't help but sigh.
"Russell, if you want to earn a lot of energy, it seems you still need to focus on Dimensional Demon Gods."
Russell nodded; he thought so too.
It was a simple mathematical calculation.
2 billion ÷ 30,000 / day ≈ 66,667 days ≈ 183 years.
The energy extorted from one Dimensional Demon Godwas equivalent to Russell's effort for 183 years.
This didn't even account for the stable annual income afterward.
"Russell, aren't you afraid of things going wrong?"
After marveling, Tony asked again.
Earning energy from Dimensional Demon Gods was indeed high-reward, but also high-risk.
Russell smiled confidently, "No matter how many Dimensional Demon Gods there are, they are no match for me."
"Not just that, there's also the problem of magic energy corrosion."
"Don't worry, that won't be a problem at all. Tony, have you forgotten my special energy?"
When Russell's special energy was mentioned, Tonyimmediately connected two things.
"So, Russell, you can convert ordinary magic energy into your special, harmless energy?"
"Exactly." Russell nodded.
"What's the ratio?"
"1:1."
"Earning a price difference through energy exchange is a way to acquire energy," Tony mused.
"But the energy transmission problem is not easy to solve," Russell said helplessly.
"No, Russell, you don't understand business.
"Energy has no shelf life, so this problem doesn't need to be solved at all.
"Think of your special energy as a commodity.
"You can find distributors to help you sell it.
"That way, Russell, you can also earn energy from mages and other deities," Tony explained.
Russell's eyes lit up.
The dazzling bright light instantly made Tony and Steveunable to open their eyes.
"Tony, this is indeed a good idea."
Russell nodded with satisfaction.
It was indeed correct to ask a professional for business advice; he now had another method to accumulate energy.
Once this sales channel was opened, the energy he could earn would probably not be less than what he extorted from Dimensional Demon Gods.
Wait.
After extorting them, Dimensional Demon Gods could also become his distributors.
The two were not in conflict.
For now, in the initial energy accumulation phase, he could only 'trouble' the Dimensional Demon Gods.
With his mind open, Russell also thought of something.
That was to emulate Galactus and cultivate agents to help him find Dimensional Demon Gods suitable for extortion.
"Jarvis, get me a wet wipe."
Tony covered his eyes, took the wet wipe Jarvis handed him, wiped his eyes, and then complained to Russell.
"Hey, Russell, what's going on with your eyes? They suddenly became like a flashbang."
"That's called 'eyes lighting up.'
"It means suddenly understanding a truth or thinking of something new, having a new way to solve a problem.
"I'm complimenting you, Tony."
Russell explained earnestly.
"Shit!" Tony couldn't help but curse.
"Russell, you'd better stop complimenting Tony. I don't think he'll like this kind of praise."
On the other side, Steve also received a wet wipe from Jarvis. He placed the wipe over his eyes, rubbed them, and felt a little better.
Ever since Steve underwent the Super Soldier Serum injection experiment, his physical abilities had greatly improved.
Even looking directly at the Sun was not a problem.
Being blinded by a strong light, this was the first time.
It could only be said that Russell was too inhuman.
At this moment, Steve's idealized view of Russellshattered.
Russell's proactive actions against the cosmic bully Dark Order had once made Steve feel that Russell was a person of great kindness and love, caring for all cosmic beings.
"Steve?"
Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice sounded.
"Is that you, Steve? Also, where is this?"
Winter Soldier Bucky had awakened!
Ignoring the lingering stinging in his eyes, Steve removed the wet wipe from his eyes, opened them, and looked at Bucky.
"Bucky, it's me."
Steve got up and gave Bucky a strong bear hug.
Then, he quietly asked Bucky about what happened after he fell off the cliff.
While the two were reminiscing, Tony also opened his eyes and looked at Bucky.
His eyes flickered with a hint of danger.
After a brief moment of excitement, Steve remembered the important matter and asked worriedly, "Bucky, do you remember what you did in 1991?"
"I…"
Bucky opened his mouth, then closed it again.
He had also noticed Tony's gaze from the sofa.
In an instant, countless memory fragments flooded in, helping him clarify the sequence of events.
"I know what I did. I'm sorry, Tony."
Bucky lowered his head guiltily, his voice low.
"I know I hurt you, but I hope you know I'm truly sorry."
"You have no right to say sorry." Tony's voice was flat and cold. This wasn't what he wanted to hear.
"You're right, I don't deserve to live." Bucky's body relaxed, completely without resistance, seemingly wishing for death.
"Bucky, that's not true. The person who did those things wasn't you. It was all HYDRA's fault."
Seeing this, Steve quickly defended Bucky.
"I can speak for myself, Steve." Bucky slowly raised his head, looked at Tony, "I did those things, and I take responsibility. But I truly am sorry."
"Steve is right, it was HYDRA's fault.
"Sergeant Barnes, I don't need your apology.
"I just need you to tell me who ordered you to assassinate my parents, Howard Stark and Maria Stark."
Tony's tone was still flat, but a little less cold.
After careful thought, Bucky replied:
"I don't know his name. I only know that others called him Colonel."
"A HYDRA Colonel operating undercover in the former Soviet Union? You should remember what he looked like, Bucky?" Tony continued to ask.
"I remember." Bucky nodded.
"Good, then describe him. Jarvis, based on Sergeant Barnes's description, draw a sketch and perform a search."
"He was a…"
As Bucky spoke, a sketch of a middle-aged Russian man appeared on the screen.
"Jarvis, deduce his current appearance."
Tony continued to instruct Jarvis to deduce the Colonel's current appearance based on what he looked like over twenty years ago.
"In my memory, this Colonel's appearance hasn't changed. He must have also been injected with a special genetic serum," Bucky reminded.
"Jarvis…"
Referenced a version of Winter Soldier's apology made by HISHE.
Chapter 132 The First Clients, the Wizards of Kamar-Taj
Chapter 133: The First Customers, the Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj
After arranging for Jarvis to retrieve the portrait, Tonydidn't make things difficult for Bucky and let him and Steve leave.
Seeing that there was no more show to watch, Russelland Tony agreed on a delivery time for the equipment, then Russell also left Tony's mansion.
After the show, it was time to get down to business.
After all, he was now the poor Russell.
Nepal, Kamar-Taj.
Russell's timing wasn't ideal.
Due to the time difference, it was early morning in Kamar-Taj.
But it didn't matter, there were always people who liked to stay up late.
In the courtyard, Mordo was looking up at the starry sky, gazing foolishly at the full moon.
"Master Brother Mordo, it's late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Mordo came back to his senses, looked at Russell walking out of the portal, and smiled, "Sorcerer Russell, aren't you still awake either?"
Russell shook his head and explained, "It's different. I just came from New York, and it's still noon in New York."
Mordo also shook his head with a wry smile.
For sorcerers who had mastered portal magic, the time zone divisions caused by the Planet's rotation were indeed very unfriendly.
After a laugh, Mordo explained why he was still awake late at night.
"Recently, two more Apprentice Sorcerers, during their cultivation, ignored warnings and absorbed dark-attributed energy, causing damage to their minds."
As the head instructor of Kamar-Taj, Mordo had encountered such Apprentice Sorcerers more than once.
But every time he encountered them, Mordo would feel sorry for them.
"They should recover after some time of rest, right? Why are you so troubled, Master Brother Mordo?" Russellasked curiously.
Mordo sighed deeply and explained to Russell:
"Although they can recover after a period of rest, every time they absorb dark energy, their inner demons grow a bit."
"No one knows when the inner demon will hatch and completely corrupt the sorcerer's mind."
Russell nodded thoughtfully.
He practiced the deep blue attribute point cultivation method, which was different from ordinary sorcerers.
Although he had also suffered from the influence of dark energy, the impact was not significant.
As for inner demons, they were completely absent.
"Master Brother Mordo, do you remember the neutral energy we talked about before?"
Russell spread his palm, and a cluster of glowing White energy floated above it.
Mordo's gaze was firmly drawn to it.
"Sorcerer Russell, didn't you say before that this kind of energy wasn't enough?"
"If it were supplied for free, then naturally it wouldn't be enough. But if it's a trade, then it's enough."
"Trade? How do we trade?" Mordo asked, puzzled.
Russell explained, "Usually, when sorcerers absorb energy in the Multiverse, they encounter many different kinds of energy.
Among them, a small number of positive light energies that have a positive effect on sorcerers can be absorbed.
And dark energies that have a negative effect cannot be absorbed.
So, let the sorcerers bring these dark energies back as well.
Then, according to a certain ratio, exchange them for my glowing White energy."
In fact, the quantities of light energy and dark energy are almost equal.
It's just that sorcerers absorb more light energy, making the remaining light energy seem less.
And with less light energy, a sorcerer's cultivation becomes more difficult.
When cultivation becomes difficult, some sorcerers start to have crooked thoughts and set their sights on dark energy.
"Sorcerer Russell, what do you want these dark energies for?" Mordo asked worriedly, "Although your strength is great, don't be careless. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant's nest."
"The lotus, born from mud, remains unstained. Master Brother Mordo, this glowing White energy is transformed from dark energy."
Russell didn't hesitate to praise himself.
"But..."
Mordo was still hesitant.
When he first started cultivating, Ancient One had warned him not to easily absorb dark energy.
But later, he still made the same mistake as those two Apprentice Sorcerers, unable to resist the temptation and absorbed dark-attributed energy.
This bred an inner demon, which was only suppressed with the help of Sorcerer Ancient One.
He didn't want Russell, also due to carelessness, to make a similar mistake.
"Sorcerer Mordo, you don't need to worry about Russell. He carries a greater secret, and these dark energies cannot easily affect him."
Just as Russell and Mordo were talking, Ancient One also arrived in the courtyard.
"Sorcerer Ancient One."
"Sorcerer."
After bowing and greeting, Mordo brought up another issue.
"But, will other sorcerers worry that this energy is unsafe?"
magic, its source determines everything.
To avoid being controlled, sorcerers, when cultivating, absorb scattered energy fragments from the Multiversestealthily.
A little here, a little there.
Even if there's a problem with the energy source, because they absorb so little, the impact is small.
If the trade begins, Russell's glowing White energy will definitely not be a small proportion in a sorcerer's daily cultivation.
Once Russell has a problem, the impact on sorcerers will not be small either.
"That, let other sorcerers choose freely," Russell said calmly.
Russell's rise was too short.
Although his battle record was impressive, he hadn't yet established credibility.
If Sorcerer Ancient One was providing this energy, Mordowould never ask this question.
But for most sorcerers, using dark energy to exchange for glowing White energy is pure profit.
There will definitely be sorcerers who come to exchange.
And when the first sorcerer absorbs the glowing White energy and finds that their physique, spirit, and lifespan all increase, even if there might still be hidden dangers with the glowing White energy, more and more sorcerers will come to exchange it.
The White magic of Vishanti forbids extending lifespan!
"Sorcerer Mordo, during tomorrow's morning practice, you can mention this to the other sorcerers. If any sorcerers want to trade, let them come find me."
Sorcerer Ancient One spoke, confirming that this matter was approved.
"Russell, give me some of this energy, and I'll vouch for you."
"Okay, thank you, Sorcerer."
Russell thanked her, then took out a cluster of 100,000 units of glowing White energy and solemnly handed it to Ancient One.
Ancient One: "..."
"That's too little, Russell."
Russell took out five more clusters of glowing White energy of the same size.
"Still too little, Russell. Where is your energy? You should have just returned from another dimension, right?" Ancient One asked, puzzled.
"This is all that's left; I absorbed the rest," Russell replied.
Ancient One sighed helplessly, "Russell, when you do business, don't you keep a bit more capital?"
"Sorcerer, I originally didn't intend to do business."
"Never mind, let's just go with this for now. What ratio do you plan to sell it at?"
"Five times, I guess. We're all fellow Master Brothers, so I won't set it too high."
Russell said casually.
How many sorcerers are there in Kamar-Taj? This is just a small amount.
The big customers will still be the deities on various Planets.
Mordo's words reminded Russell.
Sorcerers will worry about whether the energy is safe, and so will other customers.
For safety, they might not be willing to support Russell's business.
At that time, he might have to use other methods.
Chapter 133 What do you think of me?
Chapter 134: What Do You Think of Me?
After settling on the trade ratio, Russell returned to the New York Reading Room lounge and lay down.
[Attribute Points: 6,4399]
Opening his attribute panel and looking at the five-digit balance, Russell only felt his life was full of bleakness.
"I am probably, possibly, perhaps, should be, most likely… the poorest Ancient God."
"It seems the progress of energy primitive accumulation needs to accelerate."
Knock, knock, knock~
"Come in."
Looking at the thin, small girl who pushed the door open, Russell couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Gaya, do you need something from me?"
The person who entered was Gaya, the Skrull Princess. She held two milk teas and walked towards Russell, looking a little nervous.
"Here, mango pomelo sago, less ice, less sugar. I heard Wanda say that besides grass jelly, you often drink this one."
"Thanks, Gaya."
Russell took the milk tea and started drinking it by himself.
Gaya sat opposite Russell, pondered for a moment, then bravely spoke: "Russell, are the Skrull people going to be finished?"
"Huh?!"
Russell looked up, glanced at Gaya in surprise, wondering how she came to this conclusion.
"Why do you say that?"
"Captain Carol has returned to Earth, bringing bad news. In the Universe, the Kree Empire's pursuit of the Skrullpeople is intensifying."
Gaya's voice slowly rang out, filled with grief and fear.
"Wait." Russell interrupted Gaya.
"Gaya, first tell me how the Kree and Skrull came into conflict. I don't leave Earth much, so I don't know much about things in the Universe."
Russell wasn't completely unaware of the Kree and Skrull's grievances, but different Universes have different versions.
As a Multiverse wanderer, Russell adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts, never being metaphysical or having stereotypes.
"Initially, the Skrull people were a race affected when the Kree expanded their cosmic territory."
"But as the Kree engaged in large-scale cosmic wars in the Universe."
"To justify their actions, or to create a reasonable excuse, the Kree fabricated the Skrull threat theory."
"Using the reason that the Skrull people threatened Kreesafety, they hunted down the Skrull people everywhere."
"At the same time, they conducted wars of conquest."
This time, Gaya's voice was full of hatred.
"Hmm." Russell nodded, signaling Gaya to continue.
"Now, the number of Skrull people still alive in the Universe is getting smaller and smaller."
"More than ten years ago, Captain Carol promised to find us a new home to escape the Kree's pursuit."
"But until now, she still hasn't found one."
Gaya took a slight breath and continued.
"Now, a voice has emerged within the tribe. It is to invade Earth and claim it as our own."
After speaking, Gaya looked at Russell, wanting to observe his expression.
To her disappointment, Russell showed no change in expression and was still concentrating on drinking his milk tea.
"Continue, I'm listening."
"Russell, you will definitely intervene, right?"
"Although you said you have no prejudice against the Skrull people."
"But if the Skrull people succeed, you will definitely intervene!"
"At that time, it will be the doomsday for the Skrullpeople."
Gaya's voice trembled as she stared nervously at Russell, seeing him slowly nod.
"You're right, Gaya."
"But you said one thing wrong: the Skrull people will not succeed."
Russell lowered his head, finished his drink, then looked up at Gaya.
"What do you want me to help you with?"
Gaya pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "I want you to help me kill Gravik. He is the leader of the faction among the Skrull people who advocate invading Earth."
"One cup of milk tea is far from enough for me to act, little girl."
Russell looked at the empty cup. The next moment, the cup refilled itself.
"Also, don't even think about seducing me. I have a girlfriend, and we have a very good relationship."
Gaya pursed her lips before speaking: "Russell, what do you think of me?"
Russell: "!!!"
"You don't think I'm being sarcastic, do you?"
Seeing Russell misunderstand, Gaya quickly explained: "I mean, what do you think of my aptitude? Do I have a chance to become a Sorcerer Supreme?"
"Wanda told you?" Russell asked.
"Yes." Gaya nodded.
"When did your relationship become so good that she even told you this?" Russell asked curiously.
He remembered that Gaya and Wanda had only met for the first time a few days ago.
"I found out we were college classmates. I've been tutoring her these past few days," Gaya explained softly.
Russell was silent; he still felt it was unreasonable.
After carefully observing Gaya for a moment, Russellshook his head.
"Gaya, your talent is still a little bit short of becoming a Sorcerer Supreme."
Or rather, a little bit short of the Sorcerer SupremeRussell required.
Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, possesses Chaos Magic;
Loki has already shown talent for Time Magic, and in some versions, he also has highlights as the God of Stories and God of Time;
Tony, although his magic talent is a bit lacking, he is a tech mogul, and in some versions, he is also the God of Machines.
It can be said that every member of Russell's Sorcerer Supreme Team possesses unique skills.
"Super Skrull, possessing the ability to replicate, can copy the abilities of imitators."
"This mechanism looks excellent, but it only looks that way."
"Its inherent strength is not improved, and the copied abilities are always defective or cannot be copied at all."
Gaya was silent; this was not the first time Russell had told her this.
"However, besides becoming a Sorcerer Supreme and guarding the real World for me, there's one more thing I need someone to help me with."
"What is it?" Gaya asked eagerly.
"I need an apostle to help me search for other dimensions. Or rather, to help me search for the Hell Dimension."
Russell's voice echoed faintly.
"This is a dangerous job, requiring travel to different Universes and different dimensions."
Russell's initial idea was to recruit Spider-Man as an apostle to help find the Hell Dimension.
Spider-Man, backed by the web of life and destiny, could more easily traverse the Multiverse.
But most Spider-Men are highly moral.
Who knows, he might be busy fighting crime in the streets and alleys, with no time to do the serious business Russell assigned.
Gaya, relying on the Super Skrull's replication talent, could quickly form decent combat power.
"Then, can I search for a Planet for the Skrull people to settle in other Universes?"
Gaya quickly processed the information in Russell's words and caught a key phrase — different Universes.
If they went to other Universes, naturally, the Kree would no longer be chasing them.
Russell nodded: "Naturally, you can."
"However, a few people traversing the Multiverse and hundreds of thousands of people traversing the Multiverse are vastly different in difficulty."
"Gaya, if you want me to help with this, you might need to work for me for a very, very long time."
Gaya nodded heavily.
Chapter 134 The First Apostle
Chapter 135: The First Apostle
"Since Gaya has no objections, let's sign the Apostle Contract."
Seeing Gaya nod in agreement, Russell took out a brand new parchment scroll, swept it with divine power, and completed the aging process.
Holding the freshly made ancient parchment, Russellcarved the text with divine power.
A lengthy passage confirmed the rights and obligations of both parties.
Then, he handed it to Gaya.
"Read it carefully first. You can raise any questions you have. I am a conscientious Master."
Gaya took the parchment, and the first sentence that caught her eye was:
[The final interpretation rights of this contract belong to Russell.]
Gaya remained calm and continued reading, her gaze falling on the job description.
[Locate Hell Dimensions and assess their suitability.
[Method of location: Track the destination of souls from life Planets in this Universe or other Multiverses.
[Criteria for suitability:
[First, whether the Dimension possesses a large amount of magic energy;
[Second, whether the Dimensional Lord's rule is stable.]
"A large amount of magic energy, how much is considered a large amount?
"What does 'the Dimensional Lord's rule is stable' mean?"
Gaya pointed to two items in the job description and asked Russell.
Russell first reluctantly took out ten thousand units of attribute point energy, handed it to Gaya, and then patiently explained:
"Here are ten thousand units of energy.
"'Large amount' refers to more than one hundred million units of magic energy.
"Regarding the stability of the Dimensional Lord's rule, if it's a normally developing civilization, there's no need to destroy it.
"The focus is on finding Dimensional Lords who enforce tyrannical rule.
"Firstly, there's no moral pressure;
"Secondly, after overthrowing the original Dimensional Lord, we can support a new Dimensional Lord and develop another trading business."
In the long run, the potential of the trading business is higher.
However, for safety reasons, normally stable developing magic civilizations are unlikely to engage in large-scale trade with Russell.
For this, Russell intends to support a group of forces indirectly belonging to him.
The "Apostle Contract" instead of a "Labor Contract" already exposed Russell's ambition.
What is an Apostle?
A disciple who preaches.
Gaya nodded thoughtfully and continued reading, occasionally confirming several clauses with Russell.
Finally, the contract was signed.
"Russell, why is there no change after signing the contract?"
Gaya asked curiously.
"Generally, when such magic contracts are signed, shouldn't there be some special effects?
"Then, if violated, a penalty mechanism would be triggered."
Russell retorted: "Gaya, you might have watched too many movies. This is just an ordinary parchment scroll. Besides, even if there was some God of Contracts, her guarantee would not be as good as mine."
This was just an ordinary parchment scroll; what was not ordinary was its Master.
Putting away the contract, Russell took out two beepers, one red and one green, and instructed Gaya.
"The red one is for when you encounter danger during work.
"As soon as you press it, I will immediately locate and teleport over.
"The green one is for when you find a suitable Dimension.
"After pressing it, it will automatically mark the coordinates."
"Understood." Gaya carefully put away the two beepers.
"Remember, don't press the red one casually. But if you feel danger, press it immediately. Your life is your own." Russell reiterated.
"Okay." Gaya nodded.
Russell stood up and motioned for Gaya to follow him to the adjacent drink shop to find Wanda.
"The energy I just gave you will subtly strengthen your spirit and physique.
"And meditation can accelerate this process.
"During this time, Gaya, you should first learn meditation from Wanda and improve your strength."
With Gaya's current strength, there were too many things in other Dimensions and the Universe that could threaten her life.
Russell did not want to be a babysitter, constantly going to rescue her.
The drink shop was still packed with people.
The queue had even grown into a long line.
Wanda and Pietro were helping their parents serve customers.
Although they were busy, the family was enjoying themselves.
Seeing Russell enter, Wanda smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
"Russell, what would you like to drink?"
"Mango sago, less ice, less sugar."
Russell silently discarded the cup in his hand and asked for a new one.
Although he could refill it infinitely with magic, that lacked soul.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Wanda turned and walked towards the bar, personally making the drink.
Her movements were gentle and skilled, every step filled with elegant grace.
It seemed as if she wasn't making a cheap drink.
Instead, it was a Master meticulously carving her masterpiece.
"Russell, it's ready."
"Thank you, Wanda."
Russell took it, tasted a sip, and praised her.
"Wanda, your craftsmanship has improved again." Only the taste hadn't changed.
"Thank you."
Wanda first smiled and thanked him for the compliment, then, seeing that the two had no intention of leaving, asked:
"Russell, Gaya. Are you looking for me for something?"
"Yes, Wanda. I have something to ask of you."
Wanda looked around, found that there were no seats left downstairs, and led Russell and Gaya upstairs to the residential area.
Entering the living room, they sat down on the sofa, and Russell got straight to the point:
"Wanda, I hope you can teach Gaya how to meditate and cultivate."
A divine light flashed in Wanda's eyes, and her face showed surprise.
"Russell, you agreed to Gaya? I will definitely teach her well so that she also has a chance to become the Sorcerer Supreme."
Russell slowly shook his head. He knew it must have been Wanda who put the idea in Gaya's head.
"No, not the Sorcerer Supreme, but my Apostle."
"Apostle? What does that mean?" Wanda asked, puzzled.
Russell explained: "Simply put, it means working for me."
"Oh."
Wanda nodded thoughtfully, then looked eager to try.
"Russell, do you need my help?"
Wanda?
In terms of strength, she was certainly qualified.
Wanda was steadily and rapidly improving, and in a while, she would be able to reach a level where she feared no ordinary Dimensional Lord.
The problem was that the influence of Chaos Magic on Wanda's mind had always been a hidden danger.
"Wanda, Gaya will tell you later what needs to be done.
"If you are willing to help, then act with Gaya."
After careful consideration, Russell agreed to Wanda's help.
The influence of Chaos Magic would always exist; one could not give up eating for fear of choking.
Among the three Sorcerer Supreme Team members, Wanda had the least combat experience.
Some tempering would also be good for her.
"Then, Gaya, I'm entrusting her to you, Wanda.
"You teach her meditation first, and I'll observe to see if there are any areas for improvement."
"Okay." The two women responded in unison, showing good understanding.
Afterward, Russell quietly observed the energy flow and absorption during their meditation.
He occasionally spoke up to remind Gaya to make adjustments, increasing the speed of absorbing White energy.
Until the energy absorption efficiency reached its peak and could no longer be improved.
Chapter 135 This is just my safe house
Chapter 136: This Is Just My Safe House
A secret Base of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Director Fury, how come I haven't seen any of these Agents before?"
Sitting in the medical room, which had been converted from a conference room, Coulson looked through the window at the Agents coming and going outside, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He had been with S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades, an old timer whose Agent level was as high as 8.
He couldn't claim to know everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D., but it was too absurd that he had no impression of anyone in an entire Base.
Moreover, during the brief period when he temporarily replaced Director Fury and was in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D.
He had also reviewed files, and it seemed there was no mention of this overseas Base in the records.
Facing Coulson's question, Director Fury remained calm.
"This Base was secretly built by me;"
"The Agents inside were also secretly recruited by me."
"They do not exist in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s public records."
"Coulson, remember, as an elite Agent, you must have your own safe house."
"And I just have a few more safe houses than most."
Coulson remained silent.
The Base before him was equipped with various light and heavy weapons, planes, helipads, training rooms, and medical rooms, among other facilities.
This was not something that could be explained away as just a safe house.
Seeing Coulson not speak, Director Fury proactively brought up the main topic.
"I heard that Agent Hill discovered and breached several HYDRA secret Bases."
"Coulson, tell me what was found."
"Alright."
Coulson nodded, organized his thoughts, and then recounted everything.
"In this operation, a total of seven HYDRA secret Bases were discovered and destroyed."
"The most important discovery came from a SiberiaBase."
"In that Base, Sergeant Barnes, who attacked Howard Stark and his wife, was found, along with five other genetically enhanced soldiers."
"They were named Winter Soldier by HYDRA."
"Does Tony know about this?" Director Fury suddenly asked.
Coulson's expression was strange: "He knows."
"Sergeant Barnes was found by Tony and Captain Steve."
"Moreover, Sergeant Barnes and Captain Steve left Tony's Villa in California unharmed afterward."
Director Fury pondered, ignoring the faint throbbing pain in the back of his head.
"There's something strange about this matter."
"Sergeant Barnes is not the real killer of Howard and his wife; the real killer is the person behind the scenes."
"This person behind the scenes has now also been abandoned."
"These Bases were deliberately thrown out by HYDRA."
"Firstly, to cut off their tails to survive;"
"Secondly, they might want to divert our attention."
"Why do you say that, Director Fury?" Coulson asked, puzzled.
"A super-soldier genetic experiment Base shouldn't be discovered so easily."
"Even if it was discovered, a few super-soldiers would be very easy to transfer."
"Unless they were abandoned."
Director Fury explained.
"So what should we do now?" Coulson asked.
"We can only first take the pawns they've thrown out, and then strengthen our internal investigations. HYDRA is not that easy to completely eradicate." Director Fury said helplessly.
Facing HYDRA's tactic of cutting off their tails to survive, he had no good solution.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
Soon after, Coulson bid farewell and left.
As soon as Coulson left, Carol walked into the room.
"Carol, what's the situation with the Skrull?" Director Fury forced himself to cheer up and asked.
"Talos (the Skrull leader) is somewhat dissatisfied that I haven't found a habitable Planet. But generally, he can still restrain his people." Carol said frankly.
"Hmm, you've worked hard, Carol."
Director Fury said politely.
However, his headache only worsened.
Carol hadn't obtained any useful information at all.
"Generally able to restrain" means a small portion cannot be restrained.
Who are these small portions of people?
Once the Skrull's shapeshifting talent spreads, it's like fish entering the sea, very difficult to find again.
It seems the Skrull are also getting restless.
Director Fury worried secretly.
But then, thinking of Russell still on Earth, Director Fury's heart relaxed again.
But immediately, he worried again.
His wife was also a Skrull.
Would she be annihilated by Russell along with the others?
If Russell knew Director Fury's question, he would definitely answer him.
Instead of worrying about his wife being annihilated, Director Fury should worry about his wife running off with Gaya.
New York, Massimo Coffee Shop.
Russell withdrew his gaze from Gaya and Wanda, took out a copy of "The Call of the Wild," and focused on reading.
He had been busy for most of the day, his workload already exceeding the norm, and the rest was entertainment time.
And entertainment time always passes quickly.
The next day, after Tony debugged the equipment and sent it to the roof of Russell Bookstore.
Russell and the others were also ready to depart for the Amazing Spider-Man World.
However, the number of people in the team was a few more than originally anticipated.
Russell, Ghost Gwen, and Amazing Gwen were the original trio.
Wanda, Gaya, and Little Gwen were the three added later.
Bringing Wanda and Gaya was like bringing interns.
The main purpose was to show them how to find the Hell Dimension and evaluate whether it was suitable.
Bringing Little Gwen was simply because they were already bringing so many people, one more wouldn't hurt.
As for Little Gwen's safety, Russell hadn't considered it.
A mere Nightmare was not worthy of him considering that question.
Pluto would be more like it.
"Are you all ready? If you're ready, let's go." Russelllooked at the group, confirming.
"Ready, Russell."
Little Gwen carefully checked her backpack, confirming that her summer and winter clothes, snacks, drinks, and homework were all packed, then said seriously.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but be amused.
"Then let's go."
As his voice fell, golden magic Fire sparks appeared out of thin air, quickly spinning.
A portal to another World slowly opened.
Russell's divine power silently surged out, forming a close-fitting protective barrier on the bodies of the few people.
Then, he took the lead and walked towards the portal.
Behind the portal was an intact New York.
At this moment, the night was enchanting.
"Amazing Gwen, should we go to the place where you died first, or should we go to your home to settle down first?"
Russell asked.
Cloning Amazing Gwen's body required obtaining her living cells.
But after such a long time, Amazing Gwen was long dead.
Unless she had preserved them beforehand, to obtain her living cells, they would have to use Time Magic to steal them from the past.
And the most cost-effective way was naturally to go back to the time when she had just died.
"I want to go back and see Mom first."
Amazing Gwen pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly.
"I'm sorry to delay you all for some time. But I really want to see Helen first."
"It's alright, Amazing Gwen. We, except for Little Gwen, can all understand you."
Except for Little Gwen, a few months ago, the four people here couldn't even make up one mother.
(Gaya's mother also died when she was young.)
Chapter 136 The Amazing Spider-Man Universe
Chapter 137: Amazing Spider-Man Universe
Earth-120703, Queens, New York City, in front of Gwen's house.
Amazing Gwen slowly walked forward, feeling a bit hesitant to return home.
She raised her hand to knock on the door.
No sound was made; her hand passed directly through.
Amazing Gwen simply walked straight through the door and entered.
Little Gwen also wanted to follow, but Russell stopped her in time.
"Little Gwen, what are you doing?"
"Going in, Russell." Little Gwen looked at Russell, confused.
"Touch it with your hand. Amazing Gwen is a soul body; she can ignore physical contact and go in, but you can't," Russell explained.
Little Gwen was half-convinced and reached out to touch it.
Hmm, there was a tactile sensation; she couldn't pass directly through.
"But are we just going to stand outside and wait, not go in?" Little Gwen asked again, puzzled.
"There's no one inside, Little Gwen."
It was Ghost Gwen who answered Little Gwen.
The few people outside the door, except Little Gwen, all had good hearing.
With a little attention, they could tell there were no breathing sounds inside.
In fact, not only was no one there now, but the house had been unoccupied for some time.
The flowers on the balcony had withered and died.
The furniture, though neatly arranged, was covered with a thin layer of dust.
All these signs indicated that the house had been vacant for a while.
A moment later, Amazing Gwen walked out of the house, her expression tinged with two parts sadness.
"Helen isn't here; she might have gone back to my grandpa's. Let's go check out Long Island, New York."
"Amazing Gwen, point the way."
"East direction."
Russell nodded, and divine power enveloped the group, flying in the direction Amazing Gwen indicated.
"Russell, are you directionally challenged?" Ghost Gwensuddenly asked.
With Russell's mental power, he could sweep across the entire New York in an instant.
In such a situation, Russell didn't know where Long Island, New York, was, which greatly confused Ghost Gwen.
"Gwen, you know too much."
"We're here." Amazing Gwen suddenly spoke, interrupting Russell and Ghost Gwen's playful banter.
Below was a three-story detached Villa with a courtyard.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman was bending over, tending to the flowers and plants.
Flying down from the sky, the group landed outside the Villa. Ghost Gwen stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
Before long, the middle-aged woman observed the group through the peephole and then opened the door.
A handsome young man, three graceful young ladies, and an innocent little girl.
Such a combination certainly couldn't be bad people.
"Hello, can I help you?"
The middle-aged woman's voice was gentle, and her speaking tone was quite similar to Amazing Gwen's.
However, her face was now covered with the marks of time.
Graying temples added a few more touches of age.
"Hello, Helen."
Russell's palm swept across Helen's eyes, and glowing White runes flickered.
The next moment, another person appeared before HelenStacy's eyes.
Her daughter, Gwen Stacy.
Amazing Gwen was still dressed in the same outfit from the day she died: a White jacket, purple inner top, and black knee-high boots.
Exactly the same as the body she had seen that day.
Helen involuntarily covered her face, tears streaming down.
"Is that you, Gwen?"
"It's me, Helen, it's me."
Amazing Gwen's eyes also welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but step forward and tightly hug her mother.
She gently caressed the new wrinkles on her mother's face, constantly apologizing.
"I'm sorry, Helen. I made you worry."
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back."
Seeing this moving scene, Ghost Gwen, Wanda, and Gayafelt the same way and couldn't help but wipe away tears.
Little Gwen looked at Russell, a bit lost and uncertain.
She wondered if she should also cry.
"Come on, Little Gwen, let's go inside and find a place to sit for a while. I think you must be tired carrying that backpack for so long."
Russell took Little Gwen's hand, bypassed Amazing Gwen and her mother, and walked into the Villa.
"Russell, can you carry my backpack for me?"
Hearing Russell's reminder, Little Gwen hunched her back, pretending to be struggling, and asked Russell for help.
Russell looked down; Little Gwen's cartoon backpack had a cute princess design printed on it, full of girlish charm.
"No, your backpack isn't suitable for me; carry it yourself."
Although he said that, Russell still released a wisp of divine power to remove the backpack's weight.
"Hmph~" Little Gwen had just hummed when she realized the backpack was suddenly light.
"Oh, thank you, Sorcerer Supreme Russell."
Entering the Villa living room, after a while, Ghost Gwen, Wanda, and Gaya followed them in.
A little later, Amazing Gwen and Helen also walked in.
"Excuse me, please allow me to ask presumptuously, are you Angels? Here to bring back my daughter?"
As soon as she entered, Helen's gaze fell on Russell.
She remembered the glowing White light when Russell's palm swept across her eyes.
Russell slowly shook his head, not minding Helen's offense.
"I am a God, but not an Angel."
"God?"
Helen was puzzled. Is God Asian-looking?
"Helen, he's joking with you."
Ghost Gwen first introduced everyone to Helen, then explained their purpose.
"Russell is a powerful Sorcerer with the ability to see souls.
"He found Amazing Gwen's soul in another Universe, so he escorted her back and will clone a body for her to complete her resurrection.
"This process will probably take ten days."
There were some deeper reasons that Ghost Gwen didn't tell Helen.
No need.
"Thank you all so much, Ghost Gwen."
Helen's gaze lingered between Ghost Gwen and Little Gwen; she was pondering a question.
Does her daughter from a parallel World count as her own daughter?
"Oh, you've been in here for so long, and I haven't even offered you anything to drink. That's truly rude of me."
Helen apologized to the group, then walked into the kitchen, and soon, brought out five cups of warm milk.
"Thank you, Helen."
Wanda and Gaya, who had been playing minor roles, finally had a chance to speak.
Therefore, Russell also noticed them.
Should he have them go out and work now, or rest for a while and then go out and work?
That was the question.
Russell took a small sip of the hot milk, hesitating in his heart.
But very quickly, he no longer needed to hesitate.
The girls were already chatting animatedly.
"Amazing Gwen, you have three younger brothers? I really envy you; we don't have any," Gaya sighed.
"No, I have a twin brother." Wanda corrected. Actually, on Earth-404, Pietro was the older brother.
"No, I'll have a younger brother very soon." Little Gweninterjected, saying seriously.
"Me too." Ghost Gwen added.
Gaya: "I really envy you all."
Russell: "..."
"How about you all chat here for now, and I'll go retrieve Amazing Gwen's living cells."
Greeting the group, Russell took a step and left directly.
Why could they chat so enthusiastically about such a boring topic!
Chapter 137 The Missing Amazing Spider-Man
Chapter 138: The Missing Amazing Spider-Man
Ghost Gwen was not wrong; Russell was indeed directionally challenged before becoming an Amazing being.
And he remained directionally challenged even after becoming an Amazing being.
But this did not prevent Russell from finding the place where Amazing Gwen died.
He had seen it in Amazing Gwen's memory fragments.
A construction site, a clock tower undergoing repairs, a golden magical spark appearing out of thin air, then exploding, slowly forming a portal.
Russell stepped out of the portal.
Workers came and went, yet no one noticed Russell, who had abruptly appeared and was standing there.
Because he was in the Mirror Dimension.
Looking at the bustling construction site, Russell's eyes flickered.
The next moment, time flowed backward, and the stars rapidly changed with it.
Finally, this World was frozen into a picture.
In the picture, the clock tower, which had been mostly repaired, once again turned into a ruin.
In the ruins, Amazing Spider-Man held Amazing Gwen, who had lost her vital signs, his face filled with pain and remorse.
Amazing Gwen's soul also tried to embrace Amazing Spider-Man, comforting him not to be sad, not to be upset, but she could not touch Amazing Spider-Man.
Further away was the phantom of a medieval swordsman wearing green armor and a long sword at his waist.
Is this Nightmare, the ruler of the Nightmare Dimension?
Russell leisurely sized up the phantom of the medieval swordsman, but did not do anything extra.
Russell had already seen what happened next in Amazing Gwen's memory.
So he had no interest in seeing it again.
Divine power circulated, and Russell extracted a portion of living cells from Amazing Gwen's body, turning them from illusory to real.
This action would hardly have any impact on the predetermined history of the past.
However, there was still a slight fluctuation in space-time.
Russell's White energy circulated, quickly smoothing out the space-time fluctuations.
Previously, Russell would just let the Universe regulate these subtle fluctuations itself.
But now that his abilities had improved, it was better to fix them.
Putting away Amazing Gwen's living cells, Russell ended this time reversal.
Then, he started slacking off.
The girls were chattering, too noisy; he planned to go back at dinner time.
At a coffee shop, Russell ordered a glass of milk and some snacks, quietly sitting and reading a book.
"Good morning, New Yorkers. Today is another beautiful day."
Russell put down his book and looked in the direction of the sound, towards the TV in the shop.
At this moment, a morning show was being broadcast, with two hosts chatting animatedly.
"Recently, Spider-Man has been appearing less and less in the public eye. His last appearance was three days ago. This has never happened since Spider-Man first appeared. This makes people wonder, what happened to Spider-Man?"
"Some people speculate that he was injured while fighting criminals? Others speculate that he finally realized his vigilante actions were wrong and plans to stop."
Amazing Spider-Man is missing?
Swallowing the last piece of fish and finishing the milk in his cup, Russell got up, paid the bill, and left.
Plans have changed; he needs to get Wanda and Gaya to investigate earlier.
Turning into a blind spot of surveillance, Russell stepped out, directly teleporting back to the courtyard of the Long Island Villa, then pushed the door open.
"Wanda, Gaya, work's here."
Russell's voice interrupted the girls' discussion in the room, and they all looked at Russell, waiting for him to explain.
"Amazing Spider-Man is missing; he hasn't appeared for three days. Wanda, Gaya, you two go investigate the reason."
"But, Russell, couldn't you just 'whoosh' your mental power and find Amazing Spider-Man?" Ghost Gwenasked, puzzled.
Russell gestured to Wanda and Gaya, letting them explain themselves.
"Ghost Gwen, this is our test, so we don't need Russell's help," Wanda and Gaya gently explained.
A test? Ghost Gwen was puzzled, but before she could ask, Amazing Gwen asked another question: "Peter is missing? Russell, do you know what's going on?"
Russell sat lazily on the sofa, saying languidly, "I don't know. I just saw it on the New York morning news. As soon as I saw the news, I immediately came back to tell you."
"Wanda, Gaya, are you going to investigate this? How about going to Peter's house first? I'll take you; I know where Peter's house is."
Seeing Russell lying down, ready to be a hands-off manager, Amazing Gwen looked at Wanda and Gaya, suggesting.
"Okay, thank you, Amazing Gwen." Wanda and Gayanodded, and taking Amazing Gwen with them, they prepared to set off.
"I'll go with you." Ghost Gwen ripped off her jacket, revealing the spider suit underneath. "Spider-Sense is triggered when Spider-Men are close, I can help you find Amazing Spider-Man."
"Thank you, Ghost Gwen," Amazing Gwen said gratefully.
Whoosh~
A stream of White divine power approached Amazing Gwen, forming a gold and silver spider suit on her body.
This suit had no additional enhancements; it merely gave Amazing Gwen the ability to touch physical entities.
"Amazing Gwen, you've been strengthened, go ahead."
"This is?" Amazing Gwen adapted slightly and understood the purpose of this spider suit. "Thank you, Russell."
Soon, the Villa was empty again.
"Hey, Russell."
Little Gwen, who had been just observing, called out to Russell with a serious expression, asking earnestly.
"In Ghost Gwen's World, Peter Parker died; in Amazing Gwen's World, Amazing Gwen died. One of them always has to die. Is this fate or coincidence?"
"Fate. But the Multiverse has more than two Worlds. This kind of fate only covers a few Worlds. In more Worlds, Gwen and Peter are both living well, or don't even know each other," Russell explained.
"Oh." Little Gwen nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Does my Earth have Peter Parker?"
Russell slowly nodded.
Little Gwen's small face immediately turned pale.
Seeing this, Russell comforted her: "Don't worry, Little Gwen. Although Earth-404 has Peter Parker, he is not Spider-Man. You are not Spider-Man either; I am Spider-Man, so you are safe."
On the other side, Amazing Gwen led the three to May Parker's door.
Knock, knock.
"Aunt Mei, are you home? We're looking for Peter Parker."
A moment later, the door opened.
Ghost Gwen walked out from inside.
"No one's in the room. May Parker might be out working and hasn't finished yet. Amazing Gwen, go check Amazing Spider-Man's room and see if you can find any clues. Wanda, Gaya, let's wait in the living room for a bit."
"Okay." Amazing Gwen nodded and walked towards Amazing Spider-Man's room.
Wanda and Gaya also obediently sat down in the living room.
"Ghost Gwen, if there are no clues in Amazing Spider-Man's room, what should we do?"
"Then we can only wait for May Parker to get off work and ask her," Ghost Gwen said helplessly.
She had a premonition that Amazing Spider-Man's room would likely have no clues.
Chapter 138 They Are in Action
Chapter 139: They Are Taking Action
Not long after, Amazing Gwen walked out of PeterParker's room with a look of disappointment.
"There were no clues found in the room. His laptop hasn't been opened in a long time."
Ghost Gwen, Wanda, and Gaya exchanged glances, then said helplessly:
"It seems we can only wait for Aunt May to come back and ask her."
As the moon rose and the sun set, night fell.
May Parker returned to the apartment, dragging her exhausted body.
Standing outside the door, May Parker cautiously observed her surroundings.
Ever since her husband, Ben Parker, died unexpectedly, she and her nephew, Peter Parker, had been dependent on each other.
But some time ago, after his girlfriend died, Peter seemed like a changed person, often disappearing for days on end.
Click~
May Parker opened the door, entered, and quickly closed it.
Then, with a sigh, she took off her Nurse uniform and placed it on a chair.
She didn't blame Peter for his recent abnormalities.
She also couldn't forget that blonde, blue-eyed, intellectual, and gentle girl.
Thump-thump~
"May, are you home? I'm Helen, Gwen's mother."
Knocking and calling sounds rang out simultaneously.
The person outside the door, from appearances, was indeed Helen, Amazing Gwen's mother, from this World.
In essence, it was Gaya in disguise.
Soon, the room door opened again.
"Helen, come in quickly. It's so late, why are you here alone?"
May Parker opened the door halfway and pulled Gayainto the house.
May Parker's tension was understandable; New York's crime rate had always been high.
Gaya obediently entered the house and got straight to the point: "May, is Peter home?"
"Peter isn't back yet, Helen. Do you need him for something?" May Parker forced a smile.
She lied for Peter.
The reason was that she didn't want Helen to know about Peter's current degenerate state, often not returning home at night, or even disappearing for several days at a time.
Gaya also spoke with a straight face:
"Yes, that's right. While I was sorting through Gwen's belongings, I found something else she wanted to give to Peter. Could you help me give it to him?"
As she spoke, Gaya took out a handmade doll from her embrace, which she had casually bought on the street earlier that day.
In the doll's hand, it clutched an amulet.
"Okay, I'll give it to him when Peter comes back." May Parker readily agreed.
"This doll was made by Gwen herself for Peter, May, you must remember to give it to Peter."
Gaya urged again, then got up to leave.
"Helen, be careful on the way, and stay safe."
A certain rooftop.
"How was it, Gaya? Was the amulet delivered?"
Seeing Gaya revert to her original appearance and climb up, Wanda asked.
"Done." Gaya gave an OK gesture. "May Parker said that as soon as Peter Parker returns, she will give him the doll."
"Wanda, does that amulet have any special use?" Amazing Gwen asked.
"The amulet carries the aura of my Chaos Energy. Anyone who touches it will be tainted by it.
"As long as Peter Parker touches the amulet, I'll be able to find him wherever he goes, as long as my aura isn't dispelled," Wanda explained.
In fact, Kamar-Taj also has a spell that can locate the owner of an aura through an object containing a strong aura.
But Wanda didn't know this spell, and her affinity with White magic was only average.
"Let's go, we should head back first. We'll act when we have news of Amazing Spider-Man."
Ghost Gwen suggested.
She had been out for so long, she was already hungry.
Wanda and Gaya nodded in agreement.
They were hungry too.
Wanda put on her Sling Ring, drew a circle with her finger, and a portal opened, leading directly to the Villaliving room.
"Wow~"
On the other side of the portal, three exclamations rang out; they were Amazing Gwen's three younger brothers.
"Gwen, Wanda, Gaya, Amazing Gwen, you're back! Come eat."
At the dining table, Russell greeted them, gesturing for them to sit down and eat.
"Helen's cooking is very good, eat more."
Among the three Helen Stacys Russell knew, this Helen's cooking was the best.
Little Gwen, whose belly was round and who was sprawled on the sofa unwilling to move, could attest to this.
Gwen, Wanda, and Gaya were skeptical but sat down to taste it.
As for Amazing Gwen, she was an astral body, so she couldn't eat.
Therefore, while the other three ate, she reported on the work's progress.
"We went to Peter's house and, judging from the details and Aunt May's expression, he probably hasn't been home for a few days.
"After that, we collected some recent news about Spider-Man.
"We found that this abnormal situation started twenty-three days ago, which was the seventh day after my death.
"Before that, Spider-Man had also disappeared for more than a full day twice.
"Coincidentally, the interval between these occurrences was always one week.
"Afterward, we gave an amulet made by Wanda to Aunt May, asking her to pass it on to Peter.
"Once Peter touches the amulet, Wanda will detect it."
Amazing Gwen recounted their findings in one breath.
Russell nodded with a strange expression.
This pattern of disappearing for a period every week, how much it resembled the mission mechanism of the Main God Space in novels.
"Who discovered the pattern of Amazing Spider-Man's disappearance?" Russell asked curiously.
Amazing Gwen raised her hand and pointed to herself.
"Me."
Russell nodded.
He had rather hoped Gaya had discovered it.
It seemed this Apostle still had a long way to go.
"Gwen, when do you plan to start your resurrection ritual? I've already cloned your body."
"That fast? That's not scientific." Amazing Gwenexclaimed.
She was somewhat accomplished in the field of biology and knew the difficulty of cloning.
She also knew what a miracle it was to cultivate a body in one day.
"It's not scientific, but it's magic. Amazing Gwen, have you forgotten? I, Russell, am the Mage Spider-Man and Sorcerer Supreme." Russell said calmly.
He had specifically used Time Magic to accelerate the embryo's growth rate precisely for this moment.
"This... can it wait a few more days? I want to see how Peter is doing first."
Amazing Gwen said apologetically.
She had learned from Ghost Gwen and Wanda that the resurrection ritual would take about ten days and could not be interrupted midway.
"Amazing Gwen, when Peter returns, he can come see you. The resurrection ritual can awaken consciousness."
"Is that so? Then let's start now." Amazing Gwen nodded sharply and decisively.
So, where did Amazing Spider-Man go?
A certain unknown numbered Earth.
The last member of the Inheritors family, Karn, had fled here.
He was already severely injured from the Web Warriors' pursuit and had not healed for a long time.
The reason he managed to escape was due to two points.
One, the Inheritors family's special attack on Spider-Man;
Two, most Spider-Men did not aim for a fatal blow;
"Why are there two Spider-Men in this World?"
Karn sniffed the air, very puzzled.
"Never mind, I'll absorb them to recover from my injuries before those bugs arrive."
Chapter 139 Is Spider-Man the Wizard Here?
Chapter 140: Is the Sorcerer Spider-Man Here?
Earth-9500, an unfinished building in Queens, New York.
Karn, holding a steel trident, continuously adjusted his position to keep both Spider-Men in sight, preventing himself from being encircled and losing his field of vision.
He had underestimated them; these two Spider-Men were not simple.
One possessed immense strength and incredible physical prowess, not inferior to his own.
The other was agile and reacted extremely quickly; his Spider-Sense was much more acute than any Spider-Manhe had encountered before.
In his injured state, he couldn't take down these two Spider-Men in a short time.
And time was not on his side.
As Karn pondered, the two Spider-Men exchanged glances and, with a tacit understanding, launched a simultaneous attack.
From the perspective of the two Spider-Men, time was not on their side either.
This mysterious man who suddenly appeared was extremely powerful.
Neither of them alone would be his match; they had to team up to have a chance at victory.
And one of the Spider-Men (Amazing) would only be able to stay in this World for about seven days before leaving.
At that time, the remaining Spider-Man (First Generation) would be in danger.
Karn swung his steel trident, first forcing back the faster Amazing Spider-Man, then turning to block the First Generation Spider-Man.
Although Amazing Spider-Man was forced back, he flicked his wrist in mid-air.
A web shot out, aiming directly at Karn's wrist joint.
Karn shifted his body, trying to dodge.
But he found that, at some point, First Generation Spider-Man had already grabbed his steel trident, wrestling with him.
After a slight pause, Karn's wrist was entangled by Amazing Spider-Man's web.
The next second, Amazing Spider-Man landed on both feet and pulled back with force.
First Generation Spider-Man also exerted a sudden burst of strength.
Their combined effort made Karn stumble, and the steel trident in his hand involuntarily slipped away.
"Nice work, Peter Parker!" Amazing Spider-Man cheered in celebration.
"You too, Peter Parker!" First Generation Spider-Manresponded.
After a period of bitter fighting, their teamwork had become increasingly synchronized.
As the two Spider-Men celebrated, Karn's heart sank.
He saw a red and blue portal open not far away.
From it, four more Spider-Men emerged.
"Karn, surrender. The Inheritors family has been eliminated; there's no point in you running any longer."
Karn said nothing, merely lowering his stance slightly, ready to break through at any moment.
~~~~~~
Spider-Sense triggered, and the First Generation and Amazing Spider-Men, along with the four-member Web Warriors team, also noticed each other.
"Who are you?" First Generation Spider-Man asked.
"Spider-Man UK."
"Spider-Man Noir."
"Penny Spider-Man."
"Spider-Ham."
After the introductions, Spider-Man UK spoke, requesting the two Spider-Men in front to cooperate.
"Two Spider-Men, please cooperate with us first to capture Karn. Afterwards, I will explain the whole situation to you."
"Alright."
This time, facing the combined assault of six Spider-Men, the heavily injured Karn could not escape again.
After the battle, First Generation Spider-Man immediately fired off a triple question.
"Who is he, why did he attack me and Amazing Spider-Man, and why are you hunting him?"
Spider-Man UK explained each point.
"He is Karn, from the Inheritors family."
"The Inheritors family preys on Spider-Men, hunting them across the Multiverse."
"Not long ago, under the leadership of the Sorcerer Spider-Man, the Web Warriors successfully eliminated the main force of the Inheritors family."
"Karn is the last member of the Inheritors family."
First Generation Spider-Man nodded thoughtfully.
Afterwards, he asked some questions about the Multiverse and the Web Warriors.
Spider-Man UK answered each one.
"I have a question." Spider-Man Noir suddenly spoke, looking at Amazing Spider-Man and asking, "How did you come to this Universe?"
Amazing Spider-Man's expression darkened, the joy of having just defeated a powerful enemy fading.
"I was transported here by a demon, also through the web of life and destiny."
"A demon? You made a deal with a demon?"
Amazing Spider-Man nodded.
"Why? Was it to revive someone?" Spider-Man Noirasked.
Amazing Spider-Man remained silent, nodding again.
"What was the agreement you made with the demon, and is there any way to break it? If it can't be broken, I'm afraid you'll have to hide at the Web Warriors headquarters to escape him." Spider-Man Noir continued to ask.
"The agreement was that I would travel through the Multiverse for him, searching for a pair of lovers. In return, he would revive Gwen for me."
"So, you came to this Universe to do the demon's bidding?"
"No." Amazing Spider-Man shook his head, his expression pained and conflicted, "I won't do that. I can't sacrifice others for my own happiness."
Spider-Man UK shook his head and sighed:
"Amazing Spider-Man, you are right to do so."
"Among the Web Warriors, there are also some Spider-Men who were deceived by demons and made deals."
"But in the end, not a single one succeeded in reviving their loved ones."
"Not a single one!"
"Amazing Spider-Man, we will first send you back to your Universe."
"Say goodbye to your family, and then, before you leave, head to the Web Warriors."
"We will arrange for you to go to a Universe where demons cannot reach; this is the only way to escape the demon."
Amazing Spider-Man pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
In his original Universe, he only had his Aunt Mei left as family.
Moving was not a bad idea.
"Let's go."
Spider-Man UK called out, manipulating his wrist device to open a portal.
Earth-120703, Queens, New York.
A red and blue portal opened, and five Spider-Men emerged from it.
As for Karn, he had already been teleported back to the Web Warriors headquarters.
As soon as he stepped out of the portal, Spider-Man UKnoticed something was off.
His wrist device indicated that a familiar Spider-Man's information had been detected.
'Why is Ghost-Spider here? In that case, is the Sorcerer Spider-Man here too?'
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Spider-Man UKdecided to deal with Amazing Spider-Man's matter first, then go look for Ghost-Spider and the Sorcerer Spider-Man.
"Amazing Spider-Man, you go back and pack your things first, then notify us to pick you up."
"Alright."
Amazing Spider-Man nodded in agreement.
He shot a web from his wrist and swung away into the distance.
It had been a long time since he had performed such flashy aerial maneuvers.
"Spider-Man Noir, Penny Spider-Man, Spider-Ham, let's split up and look for Ghost-Spider."
Spider-Man UK had a subtle premonition that if Ghost-Spider was here, the Sorcerer Spider-Man must also be here.
And the Sorcerer Spider-Man's target was likely the demon who had seduced Amazing Spider-Man.
If that were the case, Amazing Spider-Man might not need to move to seek refuge after all.
"Alright."
The three Spider-Men nodded in agreement, each shooting webs and swinging away into the distance.
Returning home, Peter was surprised to find that Aunt Mei hadn't gone to work but was sitting in the living room.
The next second, Peter understood; Aunt Mei was waiting for him.
Lowering his head in shame, Peter apologized softly: "I'm sorry, Aunt Mei."
Aunt Mei didn't say any words of blame, only sighed.
"Peter, Helen came over last night. She brought a gift Gwen made for you."
"I put it in your room; go in and take a look yourself."
Chapter 140 Who is the Wizard Spider-Man, and how strong is he?
Chapter 141: Who is the Sorcerer Spider-Man, and how strong is he?
Inside the Long Island Villa.
Wanda and Gaya were meditating and cultivating.
Ghost Gwen was studying sheet music.
She and Matt had formed a superhero band on Earth-404, and as for the songs, they were sourced from other Earths.
Little Gwen was doing her homework.
Unlike most people in the United States who receive a happy education, Little Gwen received an elite education.
Although school was suspended due to the Battle of New York, her homework was not reduced.
At this moment, Little Gwen seemed to have encountered a difficult problem and couldn't solve it for a long time.
She tilted her head, looked around at everyone in the room, and found that only Russell was idle.
"Russell, can you teach me this problem?"
Russell glanced at it, then looked away, refusing:
"Little Gwen, you can ask me about math, science—these are common across all countries. But if you ask me about language arts, I haven't received an American education."
"Let me teach you, Little Gwen."
Hearing the commotion, Ghost Gwen put away her sheet music and offered.
"Thank you, Ghost Gwen."
No sooner had Little Gwen finished speaking than Wandaopened her eyes and said,
"The amulet I left with May Parker has been touched by another person; it should be this World's Peter Parker. Shall we go see him now?"
"Okay."
Ghost Gwen first responded to Wanda, then apologized to Little Gwen.
"Little Gwen, I'm going out first. After I'm done, I'll teach you, okay?"
"Alright." Little Gwen pouted, reluctantly.
She originally thought this trip was for a field trip, but it turned out to be just a change of scenery for doing homework.
After Ghost Gwen, Wanda, and Gaya left, Little Gwendidn't go back to her homework; instead, she looked at Russell angrily.
"Russell, didn't you say you were taking me out to play?"
Russell put down "The Lion Goes Wandering" in his hand and said with a wry smile, "Then what do you want to do, Little Gwen?"
"I… I want to go out with Ghost Gwen and them to see what they're doing."
"Then why didn't you go out with them just now?" Russellasked.
"They're not that strong, and I'm afraid being with them would affect them."
"Russell, you're strong, so I don't have to be afraid with you." Little Gwen said seriously.
Russell: When did Little Gwen become so articulate?
"Then let's go; I'll take you to secretly follow them."
"Ghost-Spider has been found; coordinates have been shared in real-time."
In the Spider-Man team communication channel, Penny Spider-Man reported.
"Based on her direction of movement, Ghost-Spider's target is very likely Amazing Spider-Man."
"Okay, we're heading there now."
In the bedroom, Peter looked at the handmade doll and amulet in front of him with confusion.
He couldn't remember Gwen ever making these handmade dolls.
Flipping through the handmade doll, Peter suddenly noticed.
The price tag hadn't been torn off.
Could it be that Gwen wanted to buy a handmade doll and then claim she made it herself? That would make sense.
Just as Peter was imagining this, his window was knocked on.
It was a figure in a White spider suit.
Another Spider-Man?
Peter wondered, opening the window.
Three figures poured in one after another, instantly making the already cramped bedroom even narrower.
After standing still, Ghost Gwen announced her name, and Wanda followed closely behind.
"Hello, Amazing Spider-Man. I am Ghost-Spider, from Earth-65."
"Scarlet Witch, Wanda."
Gaya hesitated, wondering what name she should use.
"You, are you looking for me?"
Peter asked, puzzled.
He felt that ever since he encountered Karn of the Inheritors family on Earth-9500, things had become unusually strange.
Wanda got straight to the point: "I want to ask you if you have a way to contact the Dimensional Lord you made a deal with."
Hearing Wanda's purpose, Peter's expression changed drastically.
Could it be that these were the other Spider-Men that Spider-Man UK mentioned, who had made deals with demons?
"No! I won't tell you how to contact demons. Demons are untrustworthy creatures; making deals with them never gets you what you want."
"Amazing Spider-Man, calm down."
Ghost Gwen couldn't help but get a headache looking at Amazing Spider-Man, who had suddenly entered a state of stress.
Looking at this poor child, he must have been terribly tricked by a demon.
Knock knock ~
Just then, the window was knocked on again.
"Hi, Ghost-Spider, long time no see."
The newcomer was Penny Spider-Man.
"Long time no see, Penny Spider-Man." Ghost Gwengreeted with a smile, opening the window for Penny Spider-Man.
With the window open, Penny Spider-Man didn't come in but suggested:
"The room is too small; how about we talk on the rooftop? Spider-Man UK, Spider-Man Noir, and Spider-Ham will be here soon."
Saying that, she climbed to the roof.
Ghost Gwen looked at Amazing Spider-Man, and seeing him nod, she also climbed out the window and headed to the roof.
"Ghost-Spider, I just heard something about demons."
"Are you here on Earth-120703 this time to find the demon that signed a contract with Amazing Spider-Man?"
As soon as they reached the rooftop, Penny Spider-Manasked curiously.
Ghost Gwen didn't answer directly but looked at Wandaand Gaya.
She came to Earth-120703 mainly to help Amazing Gwen resurrect.
Finding the demon was what Russell, Wanda, and Gayawere supposed to do.
"Yes."
Meeting the gazes of Penny Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man, Wanda nodded.
"Has the Sorcerer Spider-Man arrived then?" Penny Spider-Man continued to ask.
"He has." Ghost Gwen nodded.
"Then it's fine." Penny Spider-Man let out a long sigh of relief.
"Who is the Sorcerer Spider-Man?" Amazing Spider-Mancouldn't help but ask.
In Spider-Man UK's words, he led the Web Warriors to eliminate the Inheritors family;
In Penny Spider-Man's words, as long as he arrived, even demons seemed insignificant.
"The Sorcerer Spider-Man is named Russell; he is the strongest Spider-Man I have ever seen." Penny Spider-Man answered seriously.
"How strong is he?" Amazing Spider-Man continued to ask.
"Please watch the VCR." Penny Spider-Man reached out, pointing to her Spider-Robot.
The Spider-Robot projected an image onto the wall.
In the picture was a close-up of a young Asian man with a handsome face wearing a simple white robe.
The camera zoomed out, moving to a planet.
The next instant, an endless, dazzling beam of light, containing infinite light and heat, instantly struck the planet, piercing and tearing it apart.
Moments later, the planet disintegrated and exploded, leaving behind only countless fragments of dust.
"This… this was done by that Sorcerer Spider-Man?"
Amazing Spider-Man's pupils contracted violently, disbelieving.
"Is this something a human can do? It can't be fake, can it?"
"Amazing Spider-Man, you're so smart; this footage is indeed fake."
Penny Spider-Man said with a giggle.
"However, this scene is something I witnessed with my own eyes; it truly happened."
