A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 157 If you want to live, then become my knight!

"No...you can't do that, give it back to me!" As Black Sky left Ava Starr's body, it entered the sealed box.

Li Wei didn't say anything.

Hei Kong himself didn't say anything.

But Ava Starr, the host, was truly anxious.

At this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. had not yet developed the suit she wore in Ant-Man and the Wasp, which could control the tearing of her body to some extent.

While at S.H.I.E.L.D., she relied entirely on various high-tech devices to alleviate her pain and maintain her form.

After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., he relied entirely on the dimensional energy of the Black Sky.

Now that the energy from the Black Void is no longer sustaining her, her body immediately returned to its original unstable state.

Tearing apart and healing endlessly, flashing by in an instant.

The constant tearing pain in her body caused Ava Starr unbearable agony.

If no way to control it is found, it won't be long before she disappears completely from the real world in endless pain, becoming a true "ghost".

She couldn't accept this outcome.

However, Black Sky doesn't care about that.

Are you kidding me? If I help you any more, I'll die myself.

For it, Ava Starr was nothing more than a well-fitting "clothes".

There is no such thing as sharing hardships.

"You want to live?" Just as Ava Starr was in despair, Levi put away the sealed box and walked up to her.

"Yes! Please, I'll do anything you ask, just give me back Black Sky!" Hearing Levi's words, Ava Starr, who had been in despair, suddenly perked up and pleaded with Levi.

She didn't know who Li Wei was.

But this is not important.

For her, the only thing that mattered was that Black Sky was in Li Wei's hands.

If Li Wei is willing to return the Black Void to her, she can live and will no longer have to endure the pain of her body being torn apart every day.

“I can help you, but from now on you have to work for me!” Faced with Ava Starr’s plea, Levi didn’t say anything grand or lofty; he simply stated his request.

He felt no ill will toward Ava Starr’s actions, nor did he look down on her.

Because in some ways, he was just a pitiful ordinary person who had suffered greatly since childhood and wanted to survive.

If he were in the other person's shoes, he might do something even more ruthless—Lee Wei never considered himself a hero, even though he founded the League of Heroes, a superhero organization, and has been working hard to save the world.

But essentially, his purpose in doing these things was to enable himself to live a better life in this world.

This is also why he admires Tony.

In a situation like the final battle, Tony could decisively snap his fingers.

If it were Li Wei... he knew he couldn't do it.

“Sure, as long as you give me Black Sky, I’ll do anything for you!” Without any haggling, Ava Starr agreed to all the conditions without hesitation when she heard that Levi was willing to help her.

“No, I don’t mean to give Black Void back to you. It’s not something you can trust. I’m going to help you in another way. You can experience this!” Li Wei said, shaking his head.

Black Sky: Heh, you're the one who's a jerk, your entire Kamar-Taj is a jerk!

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can help me, I don't want to suffer like this anymore!" Ava Starr didn't care whether the one who could help her was Black Sky or not; she just wanted Levi to help her get rid of her current pain and let her live a good life. She would believe anything Levi said about pigs flying.

Li Wei nodded, and then took out a crystal from his spatial pouch.

It was the very piece that Shakora had given him before she left, the one that sealed the spirit of vengeance.

"This contains the Spirit of Vengeance. Like the Black Sky, it will reside within you, transforming you into a powerful Ghost Rider. The price, however, is that you will be forever loyal to me," Li Wei said.

"I'll agree to whatever you say... Hurry up and give it to me..." At this moment, Ava Starr was like an addict, and she wouldn't argue with anything Levi said.

Seeing her condition, Li Wei couldn't help but shake his head.

It's quite remarkable that this kid hasn't completely gone crazy yet.

So Li Wei first used his finger to tap Ava Starr's forehead, transmitting a stream of energy to her.

This allowed her to temporarily stabilize her physical condition.

Then he took out a contract and a dagger and handed them over.

“Drop a drop of blood on it!” Li Wei said.

Without hesitation, Ava Starr picked up the dagger and slashed her hand, creating a large gash.

The blood was smeared directly onto the contract scroll as if it were free.

But Ava Starr's expression didn't change at all.

This minor injury is insignificant compared to the constant, excruciating pain of her body being torn apart.

As the contract was completed, the crystal in Li Wei's hand instantly transformed into a ball of flame and flew onto Ava Starr.

Ava Starr was startled by the incoming flames, but she did not back down.

She then felt a powerful force flowing into her body.

This force made her feel a sensation of heat and pain.

However, this level of heat and pain, like the wound she had previously inflicted herself, was nothing compared to the suffering she had endured over the past decade.

Moreover, the injection of that power, far stronger than that of the Black Sky, gave her an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

This intense satisfaction even caused her to involuntarily let out a soft moan.

But she soon realized that something was wrong with her.

"Wait, my hands, my body..." When she looked at her hands, they had turned into skeletons engulfed in flames.

Strangely, although she was completely engulfed in flames, her clothes remained completely unaffected.

Then she pulled open her clothes, revealing another skeleton engulfed in flames.

"How did my body become like this?" Although she was no longer in the pain of her body being torn apart, and no longer threatened with disappearing from this world, becoming a fiery skeleton was not what she wanted.

"Don't worry, this is just your fighting stance. Since it's your first time, I'm letting you feel it—in fact, without using this power, you're no different from an ordinary person!" Li Wei said, snapping his fingers.

Immediately, the flames on Ava Starr's body were absorbed into her body, and her skeletal form instantly returned to its original flesh and blood form.

If she hadn't still been able to feel the full power within her body, she would have almost doubted whether what had just happened was a hallucination.

But this feeling of physical stability is really good...
