The Wittrum of the Marvel Universe

In order to avoid being fired by the board of directors, he had no choice but to reluctantly kill all the board members.

In the New York night sky.

A red vortex suddenly appeared.

The vortex disappeared, and a scarlet demon with the body of a succubus, but who was actually a great demon, appeared in mid-air.

Red skin, pointed ears, sharp claws, a hellish cloak draped over its back, and dark red hellish flames swirling around its body.

She flapped her wings, gazing down at the bustling city of New York with rapt attention.

"Is this... the human world?"

There was no smell of sulfur in the air, no dangers everywhere, and life and delicious flavors emanating from all around.

That's perfect.

No wonder my father and brother both coveted this place.

Mephista concealed the fascination in her eyes; she hadn't forgotten why her brother had gone to such great lengths to send her into the material plane—to have her do something.

Her body swayed, and her red skin faded, transforming her into a human woman with red hair, an elegant appearance, and pale skin.

It slowly descended into the city and blended into the night.

Lying in bed, Leon couldn't sleep, his mind filled with the events of the day.

A soft, delicate hand gently brushed against his chin, and a gentle, older sister-like voice rang in her ear, "Congratulations, you survived."

"I thought you weren't going to show up today."

With that elusive, gentle yet slightly mischievous gesture, Leon knew who it was without even opening his eyes.

That gothic mature woman.

She is suspected to be the older sister of the Grim Reaper.

"Long time no see, thank you for reminding me today." Leon opened his eyes and saw the gothic mature woman floating above his head, half-lying in the air.

He subconsciously glanced under the skirt and saw a holy light.

"..."

Being strong means you can do whatever you want, and you even have to censor your own actions.

"You're welcome, this is just a small favor for you."

The gothic older woman spoke softly, "After all, if you die, there's no one to observe, and I get very bored."

Her fingers drew circles in the air, as if to express her emptiness, loneliness, and boredom.

Leon dared not joke around with this guy; he might just get killed with a single finger.

He probed, "Even you are no match for that higher-dimensional being?"

The gothic woman smiled but didn't say anything.

But that smile had a somewhat meaningful quality to it.

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

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

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

This thing inexplicably appeared inside my body, and it always feels a bit creepy.

The gothic woman pinched her smoky-faced chin and said, "That mainly came from that person's death curse, mixed with a small amount of my power."

Leon recalled his two gifts: [Aversion to Death] and [Affinity for Death].

Is it harmful?

"Can't enter the embrace of death, does that count?" The gothic woman tilted her head and said with great sympathy.

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

It seems that the Gothic woman felt sorry for not being able to die, but he himself did not think so.

Who would want to die?

In that case, the black aura seems to be quite good, as it actively drives away magical forces that try to invade his body.

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

Specifically referring to a certain pitiful Ancient One.

Chapter 87 Banquet Attack

"Then why would that being curse me?" Leon asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, even though he saw the curse as a good thing.

It would be better to call it "blessing".

Have you ever seen a Vitrum who died of old age?

The gothic woman's words left Leon speechless.

"Everything will eventually die, and the Witrum people are no exception, only they live longer."

"From the perspective of death, death is nothing."

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

"Once you awaken, you will become a truly immortal being. He foresaw your existence and has 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 deities, on par with the World Eater, and even Thanos is her devoted follower? The legendary Goddess of Death, who represents death itself?

His lips twitched.

To have such an important figure take time out of his busy schedule to cast 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 woman gently patted Leon's head and vanished into thin air.

Leon knew that the other person 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 headed to the Stark Building.

He said that we should strive to become stronger as much as possible.

So he wanted Tony to build him a training device similar to the 400-ton bench press that Mark used to do at the Isaac Global Protection Agency.

However, upon arriving at Stark Industries, they found Tony sitting on a 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 Uruk?'

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

Only the extreme high 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.

Tony, that 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 to me.

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

"Oh~ Shet!"

Tony, as if he'd seen a ghost, hurriedly tossed a large lump of Uruk onto the sofa before standing up as if nothing had happened, clapping his hands and pretending not to be embarrassed, saying, "Hi~ Leon, you're here."

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

Jarvis innocently replied, "Sir, you said that under no circumstances should your thinking be disturbed, and if there is 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 is proud and assertive, offering to help might only 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 he should come to him.

Leon told him about the plan.

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

Leon: [...]

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

Not to mention that this is start-up capital reserved 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, that way it won't take up too much space."

Tony is very 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 became paralyzed in his lower limbs after being shot by his ex-girlfriend, and he also developed 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 the smartest brain 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 is taking place.

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

Phantom Cat had already sent Starlight and the junior team to the rescue 5 minutes ago, just to tell Leon.

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

Anyway, it's not far away.

"Hahahaha~"

A hang glider flew over the top of the Blood Demon, and the Green Demon above let out a shrill laugh.

On the tenth floor of the banquet hall, on the luxurious balcony, he precisely spotted his target: an executive from the Auspington Group.

If we 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 solidly built balcony could not withstand the blasts and was blown to pieces.
