American Comics Universe: I, the Containment Object Revealed at the Start

Thanatos: "Hmph, such an incomplete god should be treated like an ant, otherwise he is only tarnishing the title of god."

Diana: "Hmph, so concerned about bloodline purity, Death from another universe."

Thanatos: "Of course, God is the noblest in the world, how could he have such a disgraceful descendant?"

Loki: "I quite agree with that."

Thanatos: "But you are no better, and do not deserve the title of God."

Loki: "You bastard!"

Loki was furious when he saw Thanatos's arrogant remarks. He had always been very proud of his status as a god, which was the source of his confidence in being superior to others. However, he was mercilessly mocked by Thanatos, which made him very angry.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that I didn't have enough power to have a voice.

"One day I will become the ultimate god!"

Loki clenched his fist as he thought of this.

He now desperately craves immense power, the power to trample even gods who look down on him underfoot!

Manigoldo: "Tch, what right does a god who tramples on life have to talk about how noble he is?"

Cardia: "Exactly! According to mythology, Zeus, the leader of the heavens, was a licentious god who fathered countless children with human women. Is that considered noble?"

Thanatos: "You scoundrel! How dare you mock God like this! Do you wish to be punished by God?!"

Hypnos: "Athena, are you really going to tolerate such rudeness from your subordinates?"

Sasha: "Well, I don't think Caludia is wrong. Facts are facts."

Cardia: "Hahaha! Sasha, you really are the best!"

Degel: "Cardia! You idiot, watch yourself!"

Diana: "Haha, Caludia, Manigoldo, you two have spoken my mind! This is how such foolish, self-important gods should be treated!"

Garp: "Hahaha! Yeah! I want to laugh at the Celestial Dragons like that too!"

Sengoku: "Garp! You better watch yourself!"

Hades City

"Lord Hades! How about I go and slaughter the Sanctuary right now! How dare these mere humans humiliate a god like this!"

Thanatos is furious! He wants to kill someone.

"Enough, Thanatos, calm down. There will be plenty of opportunities when the Holy War begins."

Aaron looked completely unconcerned.

After hearing this, Thanatos had no choice but to give up for the time being!

"However, just how strong is that demigod named Abel, and why was he resurrected from a coffin? There are many mysteries."

Hypnos was curious about Abel's origins and hoped the screen could provide an answer.

"Speaking of which, although Abel is crazy when he kills, he's not entirely irrational. He remembers those who are strong and worthy of respect. When Abel was being held captive in the past, there was a member of the containment team who, with his powerful sniping skills, repeatedly shot Abel in the head, drawing Abel's attention to him."

"Abel greatly admired the person who killed him and hoped to meet him again. Unfortunately, that person eventually died in a mission, which greatly saddened and angered Abel, leading to an increasing number of breaches of containment later on."

"Initially, the containment council was simply trying to keep Abel inside. However, as the number of contained objects increased and became more dangerous, leading to astronomical numbers of casualties, a high-ranking official noticed that Abel's powerful combat abilities and ability to resurrect infinitely could be used to participate in containment missions, replacing the easily killed humans."

"This proposal was undoubtedly insane, something the early Containment Council found unacceptable. At the time, the leadership was divided into two factions engaged in heated debate, with one feeling that using contained objects to fight contained objects was too dangerous."

"However, the person who proposed it persisted in their viewpoint and ultimately overcame all opposition, establishing the Mobile Task Force—Pandora's Box—centered around a controllable containment object."

Chapter 248 Brother Cain

Rogers: "What! They actually formed a team of contained objects to fight against contained objects? This is too reckless!"

Rhodes: "Indeed, what if something goes wrong and becomes uncontrollable!"

Nick Fury: "Hey, Captain, Colonel, you guys are too short-sighted. Don't forget that the containment objects we've encountered all possess power beyond human imagination. To deal with those kinds of beings, we naturally need to use the same type."

Nick Fury: "Besides, in the end, it's the things that were already a threat to humanity that die, which is much better than more humans dying."

Ai: "That's true. We should use any available combat power, otherwise how can we fight against powerful enemies? Even prison inmates are valuable combat power."

Akainu: "We know this all too well."

Robin: "It's like the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right? A group of powerful pirates are recognized as legally allowed to plunder. As long as they listen to the government, they can commit all sorts of evil deeds, such as burning, killing, and looting."

Rogers: "No way! This is too much!"

Bruce Wayne: "Expanding our forces? That's not how it works!!"

Nick Fury: "Hey, even I know we can't go public with this."

Akainu: "Who cares about you? Although pirates are not trustworthy, they are still good as pawns for combat. As for their actions, they are all necessary sacrifices for peace."

Diana: "Your thinking is no different from that of a villain!"

Akainu: "Think what you want."

Aokiji: "Akainu, you'd better shut up."

Orochimaru: "Haha! How interesting. I quite like people like Akainu. He's much better than a hypocrite because he puts his thoughts out in the open!"

Bruce Wayne: "I wonder if this Pandora's Box, centered around the containment object, is a force that disregards human life and will stop at nothing to complete the containment."

Whitebeard: "Won't we find out soon enough? But I'm more curious about what kind of abilities Cain possesses."

After seeing Whitebeard's words, the others remembered Cain and looked at the screen.

"Among the candidates in Pandora's Box, the first one is naturally Abel, and the second is Abel's brother Cain."

The screen was just beginning to explain things about Cain.

"Speaking of which, although Abel and Cain are brothers, their personalities are extremely different, almost like two extremes. If Abel is a mad, murderous maniac, then Cain is remarkably quiet and reserved."

When the screen reached this point, it specifically showed a picture of Cain.

"Cain was a somewhat taciturn and introverted person, with exceptionally high intelligence, a superb memory—one could say he could remember everything he saw—and was proficient in many fields of knowledge."

"Most importantly, Cain is quite easy to talk to and very willing to cooperate with our containment efforts, so there's almost no need to monitor him or specifically designate a containment strategy. Coupled with Cain's intelligence, he became the second containment subject, after the Plague Doctor, to proactively cooperate with the Containment Council in their research."

"However, Cain also possesses a terrifyingly powerful ability. His very existence makes him the natural enemy of all soil-based life. Any organism that relies on soil for survival, such as plants or earthworms, will wither instantly if it is near Cain."

"Even items made from these materials will wither due to this anomaly. For example, if Cain touches paper, the paper will immediately wither and become unusable."

"Therefore, Cain's living conditions must be completely devoid of soil; this is extremely important. Furthermore, the research projects Cain participates in cannot access paper documents, only computer data. Even his food must consist of meat and fish unrelated to soil organisms."

Regulus: "No way, it'll destroy soil life? Does that mean we can't get close to nature at all!"

Natasha: "If Cain were to casually approach the forest or something, it could cause widespread destruction."

Tony Stark: "If that's the case, it would be very serious. The oxygen that humans need is all produced from the carbon dioxide in trees. If Cain were to cause a devastating blow to nature, the world would enter a state of severe oxygen deficiency!"

Bruce Wayne: "Not only that, Cain will also damage crops. If someone intentionally dumps Cain on key crop lands in certain countries, then those countries will face a serious food crisis!"

Dan Moroboshi: "So it seems that this Cain is more dangerous than his brother Abel. No matter how crazy Abel is, he can't cause large-scale destruction in a short time, but Cain is different. He's practically a human strategic weapon!"

Tony Stark: "That's true, but there's one more thing I'm concerned about: what results will he get from studying the containment objects with the other researchers?"

Rogers: "Who knows?"

"Cain's abilities are not limited to this; he possesses the power to deflect all damage."

"Any damage inflicted on Cain will rebound back to the perpetrator, even something as simple as drawing blood will rebound. According to the Containment Council's experiments, Cain's rebound limit is extremely high. They've used submachine guns, grenades, heavy machine guns, cannons, and even missiles, but none of them could inflict the slightest damage on Cain. On the contrary, those who fired the shots died horribly; their deaths were exactly what their weapons should have resulted from hitting their targets."

"Later, the Containment Council wanted to test what the effects would be if Cain were harmed indirectly."

At this point, a video played on the screen.

In the video, Cain stands at the foot of a mountain with large rocks on it that look like they could fall at any moment.

A member of the task force carrying a rocket launcher fired at the large rock.

When the rocket hit the large rock, it naturally caused it to fall, heading towards Cain.

However, when the stone struck Cain, Cain was unharmed; instead, the one who fired the cannon was crushed to death by the heavy object.

"After numerous experiments, the Containment Council determined that any attempt to harm Cain, whether direct or indirect, will be reflected back at the person attempting it. This applies even unintentionally."

"Therefore, we have issued a stern warning to every member of the Containment Council, prohibiting them from taking any actions that could cause harm to Cain. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences themselves. We will also have people monitoring Cain's surroundings to prevent any tragedy from occurring."

"Many people have never stopped researching Cain's ability to bounce back, hoping to master this power, but unfortunately, they have all failed. In order to obtain more data, Cain was even made to deal with other contained objects, some of whom attacked Cain with unstoppable blades."

Chapter 249 Two Brothers Who Are Incompatible

"An unstoppable blade!"

Upon seeing this, Bruce Wayne couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, leaving Arthur, who was drinking beer next to him, looking puzzled.

The two of them were drinking and talking about current events in a small bar in Iceland.

Bruce Wayne desperately wants to win Arthur over.

The world is in great danger, not only from the threat of containment objects, but also from unknown aliens and attacks from other mysterious forces. Therefore, Bruce Wayne has decided to gather capable and righteous people to form a team to fight against the unknown threats to come.

As for the Flash, Diana will handle the persuasion, based on the information she has.

As soon as she explained her intentions, The Flash agreed without even thinking.

He's still just a kid, easy to deal with.

Arthur is a bit difficult to deal with.

"Hey, what's wrong? You look so strange."

Arthur looked at Bruce Wayne with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Bruce Wayne's expression had suddenly changed like this.

"Ah, nothing."

Bruce Wayne shook his head, trying to remain calm.

Then I thought about the unstoppable knife.

A while ago, he used that knife to spar with Diana.

That process was absolutely terrifying.

A powerful obsession nearly took control of Bruce Wayne's mind and body, rendering him unable to think and leaving him helplessly watching as he was manipulated by a knife.
