The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 208 Chapter 332 Chapter 333 [Tzeentch]'s Script (Part )

"Where's Reed?"

In the corner of the room, a huge monster with a burly figure and countless stone-like cuticles on his body questioned Nick Fury without even raising his head.

Just like Reed Richards who just escaped, Ben Grimm also has extremely high resistance to anesthetics after transforming into a stone man.

Therefore, ordinary anesthetic gases could not make him fall into a state of extreme weakness or even coma.

However, since he was not familiar with his special abilities at this time, it was a little difficult for him to move.

"I know what you've been through, and I've seen many big guys like you..."

Nick Fury didn't answer his question directly.

Faced with this "big monster" that may erupt at any time, the first thing he should do is not to answer questions, but to take control of the initiative of the conversation in his own hands.

Then he can use the method he is best at to lead the other party step by step into the conversation trap set in advance.

"Answer my question, where is Reid...?!"

"I'm sorry, but Dr. Reed just ran away. I don't think your friend will be coming back."

Nick Fury said calmly, "Listen, I know you must be very scared right now... but that's normal. I have a green guy under my command who is bigger and stronger than you. He almost peed his pants after completing his first transformation, but I successfully helped him through it..."

"Yes, I think you have guessed who I am talking about... He is the Hulk."

"Ben, you must be dying to heal yourself now, right?"

"Then join S.H.I.E.L.D. We have the best medical and scientific research teams in the world. They can help you analyze what's happening to you and find solutions to it!"

I have to say that Nick Fury's rhetoric is very effective on those simple-minded guys, and the example of the Hulk is also very convincing!
Ben Grimm slowly stood up from the corner and said with a hint of anger and resentment in his voice: "I can join S.H.I.E.L.D., but you must help me find Reed."

Nick Fury grinned, revealing a row of sharp white teeth, and nodded noncommittally: "This... no problem!!"

…………

……

a week later.

【Doom Group】.

In a certain conference room.

The board members, led by Ned Cessel, gathered together again, quietly waiting for the arrival of Victor von Doom.

But it was different from the last time he forced the emperor to abdicate.

This time, they came to negotiate... or rather, to beg Victor von Doom!

the reason is simple.

Just five days ago, after testing by a professional testing agency, it was found that the new green energy that Victor von Doom and his four companions brought back from the "alien planet" not only had no energy loss at all, but also had an energy intensity at least ten times that of the new energy created by Tony Stark.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a stir in the energy industry.

The stock price of [Dum Group] also stopped falling instantly and rebounded strongly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This result made all the board members overjoyed.

They called Victor von Doom one after another, hoping that he would devote all his energy to developing this new type of alien energy.

however.

Victor von Doom, who was concentrating on the [Blessing of Tzeentch] at this time, hoping to use it to decipher the alien text on the "mechanical book", had no time to pay attention to other things.

So he directly handed over the leadership of the "Quantum Gate Project" to the board of directors.

Anyway, as long as these guys stop bothering him, it will be fine.

After obtaining the [Quantum Gate Project], the board of directors first increased its external publicity efforts.

He began to desperately promote the efficiency and cleanliness of "alien energy" in the hope of raising the stock price of [Doom Group] to an unprecedented peak.

At the same time, a professional geological exploration team was formed without delay to further explore the total energy reserves on the planet.

But just as the board members were excitedly preparing to get down to business, something strange happened.

The [Quantum Gate Project], which originally had mature technology, has encountered failure again and again.

The dimension that was previously anchored using the quantum field effect seemed to have disappeared, and it was no longer possible to open a gap for targeted teleportation.

This made all the board members very anxious.

Because if we cannot obtain more green energy in the future, it may not just be a question of whether the stock price will collapse.

But the entire [Doom Group] is likely to collapse because of this!

There's nothing we can do. Who made them stir-fry it too hot before?

Although Ned Cecil and others are only major shareholders, who would really be willing to watch a goose that lays golden eggs die?

So... they found that man again!!
Not long after, Victor von Doom, wearing a suit and a black baseball cap, looking a little tired, pushed the door open and walked in.

He did not sit down, but asked directly:
"Ned, didn't I already hand over the Quantum Gate Project to you guys? What do you want from me this time?"

"Victor, don't be so angry."

This time, Ned Cessel's attitude was completely different from before. He said with a smile on his face:
"Our board of directors expresses its sincere gratitude for your contributions. You have delivered on your promise to turn around the stock price using that new green energy source and..."

Victor von Doom interrupted with a cold face: "It's called [Yajin Energy]!"

"Oh, so you've already given it a name... [Yajin Energy]? That name sounds great."

Ned Cessel said with a cunning smile, "There's no doubt that [Yajin Energy] and that 'alien planet' are the most important development projects at this stage. They even directly affect the survival of the entire group."

Victor von Doom interrupted again with a blank expression: "That planet is called [Holy Terra]!"

"Uh... okay, okay, [Holy Terra]?"

Ned Cessel showed a look of displeasure on his face. As a major shareholder, few people dared to interrupt him like this.

But in order to achieve his goal today, he just endured it.

"You may have heard that the Quantum Gate Project has had some problems recently. The researchers have been unable to connect with that...

[Holy Terra] established a link, and the next exploration mission had to be postponed again and again."

"That's why we had to call you here. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Suggestions? What suggestions can I have!"

Victor von Doom showed a mocking sneer on his face and said in a very perfunctory manner:
"When I handed this project over to you, everything was going smoothly. Now that something has gone wrong, there's nothing I can do!"

Almost all his energy now is focused on studying how to refine [Agold Energy] and practicing [Tzeentch Magic]. How can he have time to care about these bullshit things?
Just two days ago, after a tragic failure that permanently cost him his thick, dark hair, he finally succeeded in using the [Blessing of Tzeentch] to master the alien language of the "Mechanical Book" without a teacher, and understood its contents. The book, titled the [Terra Log], was a record of what Belisarius Cawl, a [Adeptus Mechanicus], had observed and heard before departing from the planet called Holy Terra.

And just as Victor von Doom had guessed before, the last part of this book did record how to transform demons into [Argentum Energy]...or it would be more appropriate to say "Demon Alchemy Formula".

……

The book's contents are as follows:

In the year 31014 of the Terran calendar, the empire was suddenly invaded by a group of demons with horns on their heads.

These creatures from the dimension of hell swarmed in through a twisted space crack that appeared out of nowhere within the empire.

Wherever the demon passed, people and animals died, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river!
Although the empire's warriors put up a heroic resistance afterwards and took advantage of the terrain to launch a counterattack against these alien invaders...but the results were minimal!
There are two main reasons for this:

One reason is that the number of demons is too huge. As long as the space crack cannot be closed, demons will continue to pour out from it.

Secondly, it is difficult for ordinary mortal soldiers to effectively kill these demons with "high attack, high defense and thick blood". Only powerful and loyal Astartes monks can cause fatal damage to them.

But the number of Astartes monks was limited, so the imperial army had more defeats than victories from the beginning of the battle.

However, as time went on, the great [God of Machines] finally revealed the truth, allowing the priests of the [Mechanicus] to find records related to these demons in some ancient books.

And gradually understood the source of power of these demons.

It turns out that these evil hellish creatures contain the energy essence of the [Hell Dimension] in their bodies.

So even if their bodies are destroyed in the real world, they can still be restored to their original state in the [Hell Dimension]...but the restoration process will take a certain amount of time!

Fortunately, the books also record how to deal with these demons.

That is to forcibly extract the essence of hell's energy from the bodies and souls of these demons through some special transformation method.

In this way, they will not be able to be resurrected again!
And the extracted hell energy is called [sub-gold energy].

[Agold Energy] can not only be used to create powerful energy weapons capable of destroying the demon's physical body, but can also be used as an efficient energy source!

Therefore, in the following years, the Imperial Army relied on this method found by the Mechanicus to quickly turn the tide of the war, successfully driving these demons out of the city and forcing them back into the space rift.

But the nightmare that truly led to the fall of the empire also began...

This highly efficient and clean [sub-gold energy] soon attracted the Emperor's attention.

This incompetent and tyrant emperor (Jianqi: Hehehe, that's right, I wrote the script, you fake emperor, I've been annoyed with you for a long time), actually ordered the imperial army to go to the [Hell Dimension] to continue plundering more [Argentum Energy]!
So hundreds of millions of loyal warriors passed through the space crack and headed towards the demons' lair without fear of death.

Among them, a large number of tech-priests of the Mechanicus and priests of the Imperial State Religion also went there with the army.

They wanted to take this opportunity to better study this magical energy extracted from the devil.

In the following years, good news came frequently from the war front.

A large amount of [Argentum Energy] is continuously transported back to [Holy Terra] from [Hell Dimension].

The emergence of this cost-free and efficient energy source led to earth-shaking changes within the empire in just a few years.

As a result, many related fields such as industry, technology, and medical care have all experienced rapid development and officially entered a new era.

Some people even want to use [Agold Energy] to explore the possibility of "immortality"! !

Just when everyone was going crazy about this new type of energy extracted from demons.

Those who had secretly injected [Agold Energy] and its derivative medical products had quietly mutated and degenerated into slaves and servants loyal to the devil!

So they secretly poured a large amount of [Asian Energy] directly into the empire's largest [Asian Energy Tower], and with this powerful energy explosion, they successfully opened a dimensional crack connecting to the [Hell Dimension] in the heart of the empire.

Countless demon armies are pouring out!!
The Imperial Palace fell first, and the incompetent Emperor was nailed to death by the demons on his own [Golden Throne]...

This epic catastrophic battle lasted a full 55 solar days.

In the end, the Empire succeeded in curbing the pace of the demon army's attack and closing the dimensional rift at the painful cost of losing nearly 15 million mortal soldiers, seven fully-strength Astartes Chapters, three complete Titan Legions of the Mechanicus, and countless civilians.

however.

But the disaster did not end there!
The previous explosion of the [Yajin Energy Tower] triggered a series of severe consequences - atmospheric deterioration, land pollution, and a major shift in the positions of land and sea due to the reversal of the planet's magnetic poles.

Only then did people realize that [Holy Terra] was no longer suitable for survival!

So the remaining people decided to abandon [Argent Energy] and [Holy Terra], and board interstellar spaceships to travel to other colonized planets...

……

It was clear that this man, Belisarius Cawl, [Grand Sage of the Mechanicum], wanted to record this precious history in written form, warning those who strayed into this planet and attempted to seize [Argentum Energy], that this unclean energy would only bring endless suffering to humanity!
But what is interesting is that.

At the end, he even included a "Demon Alchemy Formula" that uses demons to create [Argent Energy]! !

What does this mean?
Is he using this to test human nature?

If you simply want to warn others, you wouldn't do this, right?
Or... he actually had good intentions and wanted to provide future generations with a solution to the demon invasion?

But no matter what the other party's true intention was, Victor von Doom, who was eager to save his mother, was no longer willing to waste time on such issues.

Because the appearance of [Terra Log] helped him solve the biggest problem of "breaking through" hell.

Next, as long as he can master the method of refining demons, he will not only have a chance to successfully save his mother's soul, but he can even use [Agold Energy] to open up a whole new world in his career.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
As for the warnings in Belisarius Caul's book, he took them completely unnoticed.

He even proudly believed that the fall of [Holy Terra] was entirely due to the stupidity of that foolish Emperor! !
Even if [Agold Energy] is truly "unclean energy", as long as it is used properly, the benefits will still outweigh the disadvantages.

Anyway, Doom will never follow the same path of destruction!
The reason why Victor von Doom is so confident is, on the one hand, due to his aloof and arrogant character, and on the other hand, he has now determined that he is the "son of destiny" favored by the [Lord of Change]!

The reason for this is that the most crucial step in the "Demon Alchemy Formula" is to use the magic called "Invisible Holy Fire" to temper the demon's body and soul.

The [Tzeentch Magic] he had learned precisely included the [Invisible Fire of Tzeentch]—invisible flames that could only be seen by the most deranged believers, burning with an intensity far exceeding any ordinary fire. Whispers from the gods could help devout believers harness these invisible flames!
Victor von Doom firmly believed in his heart that this was God's will, this was destined.

So, if you don't practice [Tzeentch Magic] day and night, what are you waiting for?

However, the only thing that made Victor von Doom feel miserable was the permanent hair loss caused by using the [Blessing of Tzeentch] before.

This made him, who was extremely concerned about his appearance, somewhat reluctant to appear in public, so he wore a hat to cover his shame today.

At the same time, he also realized that the result of failure to bless mentioned in the magic [Blessing of Tzeentch], "causing a permanent mutation", was definitely not just talk.

"Humph!"

Seeing Victor von Doom's refusal to cooperate, Ned Cessel's good temper was finally exhausted. He simply stopped pretending, his face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes and threatened:
"Victor, you should understand that if the problems with the Quantum Gate Project aren't resolved quickly, the Doom Group will be embroiled in an unprecedented controversy, and its stock price will plummet."

"Given your previous unusual behavior, the board now has reason to suspect that you have tampered with the [Quantum Gate Project] to hinder our development of new energy."

"So...if you don't help us resolve this problem immediately, the board of directors will officially remove you from your position as chairman."

"By then, my investment advisory team will take full control of the [Doum Group]!"
