The Witrum of the Marvel Universe

"Ahem." Leon quickly changed the subject, asking the question that had been weighing on his mind, "What's with the black energy inside me?"

Leon believed that since the gothic woman had been observing him, she must know what he was saying.

That black aura capable of violently defeating the power of the Asgardian gods.

It's strange that this thing has appeared in my body for no reason; it always feels a bit creepy.

The gothic woman pinched her chin, which was covered in smoky makeup, and said, "That mainly comes from that person's death curse, with a small amount of my power mixed in."

Leon recalled his two talents: [Death Aversion] and [Death Affinity].

Is it harmful?

"Does not being able to enter the embrace of death count?" The gothic woman tilted her head and said with great sympathy for him.

"Um...that doesn't count."

It seems that Gothic women find it pitiful not to be able to die, but he himself doesn't think so.

Who would want to die?

So it seems that this black aura is actually quite good, as it actively drives away magical forces that want to invade his body.

This perfectly avoids the situation where he inexplicably learns some magic, then gets tricked, and ends up with a mountain of debt for no reason.

Specifically referring to a certain pathetic Ancient One mage.

Chapter 87 Banquet Attack

"Then why did that being curse me?" Leon asked a question that had been bothering him, even though he considered the curse a good thing.

It would be better to call it "blessing".

Have you ever seen a Witrum man who died of old age?

The gothic woman's words left Leon speechless.

"Everything eventually dies, and the Witrum people are no exception, except that they live longer."

"From the perspective of death, all beings are equal, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"But did you also inherit superpowers from your mother?"

"Once you awaken, you will become a truly immortal being. They foresaw your existence and placed a curse upon you."

"Isn't it only natural that an immortal being is hated by death?"

Leon opened his mouth.

I finally figured out who had cursed me.

Could she be one of Marvel's five primordial beings, on par with the World Eater, and even Thanos's devoted follower, the legendary Goddess of Death who represents death itself?

His lips twitched.

To have such a big shot take time out of his busy schedule to issue a curse on him, haha, that's giving him way too much credit.

"Alright, hurry up and get stronger, you're too weak right now."

"Next time we meet, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."

The gothic lady gently patted Leon's head and then vanished into thin air.

Leon knew that the other party was still watching him from somewhere, but he still couldn't detect it.

The next day, I woke up in bed.

There are 6 days left until the Berserker arrives.

Leon heads to Stark Tower.

He said he would do his best to become stronger.

So he wanted Tony to build him a 400-ton training machine similar to the one Mark used to bench press at the Isaac Global Guard Bureau.

However, upon arriving at Stark Industries, they found Tony sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the lump of metal in front of him.

Wasn't that the Urukin I gave to Tony?

How come it's still the same after all this time?

He suddenly realized a problem, 'Tony...could it be that he can't melt Urukin?'

Urukin cannot be melted by conventional flames or planetary-level temperatures.

Only the extreme temperatures inside a neutron star can melt it.

Even Thanos had to go to the Dwarf King to have the Infinity Gauntlet crafted from Urukin if he wanted to create it.

Tony, this stubborn guy who's willing to suffer for his pride, is impossible to melt away; he'd rather keep it all bottled up inside than come looking for me.

Leon, suppressing a laugh, pushed open the partition door. "Tony~"

"Oh shit!"

Tony looked like he'd seen a ghost, frantically tossing a huge lump of urukin behind the sofa before clapping his hands and standing up as if nothing had happened. He pretended not to be embarrassed and said, "Hi~ Leon, you're here."

He muttered to the person next to him, "Jarvis, what kind of doorman are you? Why didn't you warn me when he came in?"

Jarvis innocently replied, "Sir, you said you wouldn't be disturbed under any circumstances while you were thinking; if it's an important matter, you can proceed directly."

Tony: [...]

Okay, he did say that.

Seeing Tony's desperate attempt to hide his true feelings, Leon didn't point it out.

For someone like Tony who values ​​his reputation and pride, offering to help might actually make him angry and embarrassed.

Let him figure it out himself. Once he finds that he can't melt it no matter what he does, then you should come to him.

Leon will tell him about the plan.

Tony stroked his chin. "Building a 400-ton training machine like this would cost about $14 billion, and it would also require a huge venue. Do you have the money?"

Leon: [...]

He did have ten boxes of gold bars, oh no, there are nine boxes left now.

Not to mention that this is the start-up capital for the company.

Even if they were all sold, it would only amount to tens of millions of dollars.

Leon suddenly realized how poor he was.

Tony thought for a moment, "I can build you a gravity chamber, so it won't take up too much space."

Tony is quite skilled in the field of gravity, and the Hulkbuster armor is equipped with a built-in gravity field to suppress the Hulk's movements.

In the classic comic book universe 616, Tony Stark is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by his ex-girlfriend, and he also develops a series of advanced technologies such as an anti-gravity wheelchair.

"Okay, what's the price?"

"This is for you. I haven't thanked you yet for the Uruk you gave me last time."

The fact that Tony said "thank you" shows how much Tony likes Urukin.

Thank you.

Leon didn't stand on ceremony either.

"It will take about a day to make. I'll have Happy deliver it to you tomorrow."

“Alright, then I won’t disturb your research on Urukin.” Leon smiled meaningfully.

"Go! Go! Go."

Tony blushed. He refused to believe that, with his brilliant mind, the smartest person on Earth, he couldn't find a way to turn Urukin into armor.

After leaving Stark Tower, Leon received a text message from Phantom Cat.

A banquet hall in Queens was attacked.

Inside, a gathering of high-ranking individuals was taking place.

If they can perform well, they should be able to attract a lot of sponsorships and investments.

Phantom Cat had already sent Starlight and the youth team to the rescue 5 minutes ago, just to let Leon know.

After a moment's thought, Leon decided to take a look anyway.

Anyway, it's not far away.

"Hahahaha~"

A hang glider flew overhead, and the Green Goblin above let out a shrill laugh.

On the tenth floor of the banquet hall, on the luxurious balcony, he precisely spotted his target: a senior executive of the Osborne Group.

If we can blow him up, and then blow up the other executives as well, then no one in the company will be able to fire him.

She pulled two pumpkin bombs from her pocket and tossed them downwards with a flick of her wrist.

Boom! Boom!

Two loud explosions came from below, and the sturdy balcony could not withstand the force of the explosions and was blown to pieces.
