The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 128 Go, Poké Ball!

Before being taken away, Quill frantically winked at Du Mu.

Hey fellow villager, remember to get me out of there!
Unfortunately, Du Mu could only see a hint of lewdness in his eyes and nothing else. He watched as Quill and Nature were taken away by the Nova Corps.

Gamora is also categorized under the Nature group, after all, her emerald green outfit makes her look more vibrant than Groot, who is in a vegetative state.

However, Du Mu doesn't need to worry about Quill.

Judging from the system comments, this guy probably won't stay in jail for long, and you might see him again someday.

With Quill no longer chattering in his ear, Du Mu was finally able to have some peace and quiet and decided to take a good look around Xandar.

As a technologically advanced interstellar empire, high-tech products are everywhere, but almost all of them are civilian products. There isn't even a decent weapons shop on the street. Occasionally, you might see a few security equipment stores, but they only sell non-lethal sonic guns or energy shields.

This is all due to the laws of the Nova Empire, which have very strict control over weapons and equipment. On Xandar, the sale of most weapons and equipment is strictly prohibited.

In this respect, it is far less free than America.

In America, you can usually find firearms by wandering into any alley, and if you're lucky, you might even find an RPG. But here, it's hard to even get a decent gun.

Du Mu was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't dwell on the issue too much.

He immediately went on a shopping spree, buying any high-tech products that caught his eye, from smart wearable devices to home robots. He bought a whole bunch of them, since he had earned a lot of cosmic coins from the raiders, so why not spend them?

After his shopping spree, Du Mu strolled to the spaceport's management office, topped up his management fee, and entrusted his spaceship to the New Star Empire.

After doing all this, he directly opened the game map, selected the coordinates of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, and teleported there.

These days, it's inconvenient for Du Mu to return to Earth to take on daily missions. There isn't even a teleportation point on Morag, and he can't just teleport anywhere during the spaceship's journey, since once he teleports back to Earth, he can't teleport back.

Now that he has already set up a teleportation point on Xandar, he naturally has no such concerns.

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Du Mu went straight to the director's office to receive the mission from Hill, and casually sent the mission information to Peter and Harry's X-Team.

However, Peter and Harry did not respond as quickly as usual.

Du Mu was somewhat puzzled, so he activated the teleportation bead and teleported himself directly to Peter's vicinity.

As for why it was near Peter, it's because he handed over the teleportation orb to Peter to be mainly in charge of its management.

Harry, as the sole heir of the Osborne Group, is young, rich, and handsome, with a vibrant nightlife. Du Mu certainly doesn't want to see any restricted scenes that need to be censored when he suddenly teleports there.

In contrast, Peter is much more reassuring. He spends most of his nightlife with various criminals on the streets of New York, so he won't have to deal with that kind of awkward situation.

Poor Peter, he thought that Du Mu entrusted the teleportation bead to him out of special trust, and he was secretly pleased about it for a long time.

As soon as Du Mu landed, before he could even get a good look at his surroundings, he saw Peter, dressed in a Spider-Man suit, do a lazy roll to dodge the attack. Immediately afterward, a blinding bolt of lightning flashed past him and hurtled toward his face!

Du Mu: "."

Before he could even complain, a blinding white light burst forth from his body. His protective spell activated instantly, forming a close-fitting magical shield. The lightning slammed into the shield, exploding into a shower of tiny sparks.

It was only then that Du Mu could see the situation around him clearly.

He found himself inside the Osborne Group's power plant, where the surrounding equipment was in a terrible state of disarray, and broken wires occasionally sparked with electricity, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had taken place there.

Peter was panting heavily to the side, his Spider-Man suit covered in charred marks, with several holes burned through it.

In mid-air, Harry's situation wasn't much better.

He hovered in the air on a new glider that looked like a graphics card. His signature slicked-back hair had turned into an afro, as if he had been struck by lightning, which looked quite comical.

Directly in front of them floated a semi-transparent blue humanoid creature, much like a certain Doctor Place from DC Comics who disliked wearing clothes, except that this one was at least wearing a black bodysuit.

Du Mu glanced at the information about the blue man.

It turns out to be one of the supervillains he encountered at the Osborn Corporation, Max Dillon, codenamed Electro.

Du Mu asked curiously, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Peter and Harry had noticed Du Mu's arrival earlier. When they saw that it was a glowing humanoid creature, they almost thought it was another Electroman. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the familiar voice.

"Du Mu, what brings you here?!" Peter exclaimed in surprise.

Du Mu replied, "I sent you messages but didn't get a response, so they were just sent directly to me. What's going on with this guy?"

Harry controlled the glider to descend, explaining, "He is Max, an employee of the Osborne Corporation, who became like this due to an accident and gained the ability to control electricity."

"However, several shareholders in the group were afraid that the exposure of the accident would affect the stock price, so they secretly detained him behind my back and conducted an investigation."

Since Norman Osborn disappeared, although Harry has nominally taken over the Osborn Group, not all shareholders will obey him as the young heir. Some old guys have been secretly plotting and trying every means to take control of the group from him.

"Until today, Max suddenly went berserk, killed the shareholders who imprisoned him, and then fled here to absorb the electricity from the entire power plant."

Harry feigned a sad expression, but the upturned corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.

Because the shareholders who died were the same old guys who were constantly tripping him up at the board meetings and trying to suppress him in an attempt to seize power.

Unlike Peter, Harry didn't feel sympathy or pity for his enemies. He pretended to be heartbroken, but in reality, he was overjoyed.

Peter, unlike Harry, didn't have as much inner turmoil. He stared intently at Electro and said, "We must stop Max as soon as possible, otherwise large areas of the city will lose power, especially hospitals and transportation, and things will really get chaotic."

NPC Peter Parker has given you a new quest.

[Mission: You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth]

Objective: Defeat Electro and stop his plot.

[Rewards: 3000 Experience Points, 1 Random Equipment, 2 Random Items]

It has to be Peter, that kid. Not only can he help me with daily tasks, but he can also give me side quests.

Max also noticed Du Mu's appearance and was taken aback: "Who are you? Are you just an ordinary person like me who was harmed by the Osborn Group?"

Du Mu was glowing all over, and his body looked even brighter than Max's, leading Max to mistake him for one of their own.

"It's magic, it just makes it a little brighter."

Du Mu immediately corrected him, saying that this was very important as it concerned his reputation as a monk.

Max didn't believe in magic, but he really couldn't feel any electricity from Du Mu. His expression changed from expectation to disappointment, and then to anger.

"So you're in cahoots with them! You're all trying to stop me! You're all accomplices of the Osborn Group!"

Max's body erupted with dazzling lightning, and powerful energy rapidly gathered in his arms, unleashing several thick arcs of electricity towards the three of them!
Upon seeing this, the three immediately dodged. Harry took off on a glider, Peter shot out a web to swoop away, and Du Mu conjured an ancient broom out of thin air, gripped the handle with one hand, and instantly soared into the air.

[Equipment: Flying broom (Boys should sit sideways or with a bicycle seat, otherwise there will be a slightly melancholic feeling)]

Instead of sitting on the broom, Du Mu grabbed the broom handle directly.

Since Thor can fly with his hammer, he can fly with his broom too. With his arm strength and stamina, there's no need to worry about him slipping and falling. Actually, Du Mu also has the Green Goblin glider, but unfortunately, Harry, that little devil, is there. To avoid a father-son reunion on the spot, it's better to use the flying broom.

Du Mu landed on a high ground, his flying broom transformed into a golden Desert Eagle, and he aimed at Max, pulling the trigger repeatedly.

boom! boom! boom!
The energy-infused bullet whistled out and struck Max precisely.

However, the energy bullet passed right through his body, leaving a hole in the large detonator behind him.

Harry quickly reminded him, "We've tried it, all physical attacks can't do any real damage to him, his body has been quantumized."

Good heavens, he's actually a Logia-type Devil Fruit user!
Du Mu raised an eyebrow. If physical attacks were ignored, many of his methods would become ineffective.

He quickly browsed through the game inventory and then said, "I have a plan, but I need to temporarily incapacitate him."

Peter jumped to Du Mu's side and whispered, "I have a way. We discovered before that he is particularly afraid of water. He will temporarily short-circuit whenever he comes into contact with water."

It's perfectly reasonable that creatures are afraid of water!
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you. I'll distract this guy."

Du Mu wasn't trying to attract hatred; it was mainly because Max's eyes, gleaming with electricity, were staring intently at him, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Clearly, those energy bullets, though they didn't cause any real damage, thoroughly enraged the other side.

"You're asking for it!"

Max roared.

Because his body was electrified, even his voice had a strong electronic sound effect.

In today's rap scene, he's at least several years ahead of the trend. He comes with auto-tune, saving the need for an auto-tuner. Plus, with his skin, if he were to enter the rap scene, he might become the next top star.

Max raised his palm, and countless blinding arcs of electricity gathered wildly in his palm, emitting a crackling sound that made one's scalp crawl, as if thousands of birds were chirping at the same time.

"Is that you, Chidori!?"

This familiar feeling made Du Mu unable to help but complain.

The next moment, Max pushed his arms forward with a jolt, and a beam of blazing white electricity as thick as a bucket tore through the air and rushed straight toward Du Mu at an astonishing speed!

Du Mu reacted quickly, dodging away from his spot and taking out his flying broom again as he soared into the air.

Boom! !
Amidst the deafening explosion, the spot where Du Mu had been standing was engulfed by electricity, leaving a large charred patch on the ground with tiny electric snakes leaping merrily across it.

Max showed no sign of stopping, his arms flailing as blinding bolts of lightning shot into the air.

But Du Mu skillfully maneuvered his flying broom, weaving and dodging through the air with ease, easily avoiding all the lightning strikes without even touching the hem of his clothes.

As a magician's exclusive mode of transportation, the flying broomstick naturally brings out Du Mu's veteran driver spirit, making it incredibly easy to operate.

"Damn flies!"

The series of misses had Max getting really nervous, but being a blue man, he didn't show it easily.

Du Mu advised, "Max, I see you as a promising talent. It's not too late to back down now!"

"Impossible! The Osborn Group owes me—they must repay it double!"

Max roared, his hands beginning to gather even more powerful electrical energy.

Du Mu suggested, "Why don't you work for me? I'm willing to pay you double your previous salary, plus five social insurances and one housing fund, and paid annual leave!"

Max let out a series of cold laughs that crackled with electricity: "Who do you think I am? You think you can make me give up with just money? Impossible!"

"Triple pay!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Five times the salary!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Ten times the salary!"

"."

Max stopped what he was doing, but then he became even angrier.

I actually hesitated!
A mere sum of money actually swayed his vengeful spirit!
Simply unforgivable!
Max regained his senses and decided to ignore Du Mu's words, and the electricity in his hands surged wildly!
Just as his energy was about to erupt, a soft "poof" sound came from behind him.

Max turned around and saw Peter tear the water pipe in the reservoir with his bare hands. A thick stream of water rushed towards him, and he had no time to dodge!

Wow——!
The high-pressure water jet instantly engulfed him, his body crackling with electricity in the water, before he crashed heavily to the ground from the air.

The electric light on his body flickered rapidly a few times before finally fading completely.

"You bastard, you're lying to me!"

Max gritted his teeth, his voice losing all its power.

However, even as he slumped to the ground, he remained fearless: "So what if that's the case? I'm just temporarily unable to use my abilities, but your attacks still have no effect on me."

"is it?"

Du Mu grinned, and a jet-black sphere appeared out of thin air in his hand.

His right arm muscles bulged and knotted, and with a sudden twist of his waist, his entire arm lashed out like a whip, throwing him forcefully away!
"Go ahead, Poke Ball!"

The moment it left his hand, the pitch-black sphere transformed into a shadow, accompanied by a terrifying whooshing sound, and hurtled straight toward Max!
Before the other party could react, the pitch-black sphere slammed heavily onto his head!
Bang! !

Max tilted his head to the side, and half of his head shattered, turning into scattered sparks.

But Max is still alive, laughing heartily with half his head still on.

Haha, I already said no.

His laughter stopped abruptly.

The pitch-black sphere came to an eerie halt in mid-air, and the crack in the middle opened instantly, generating an irresistible suction force from the opening.

Max's quantum body was pulled and twisted as if by an invisible hand and sucked into the small sphere.

The next moment, the black sphere closed up again, fell to the ground, and began to sway from side to side.

Once, twice, three times.
After shaking for a few moments, the dark sphere came to a stop.

At the same time, it seemed as if everyone heard a voice.

Ding!
