Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

The force of this lunge was so great that it even shattered the glacier beneath their feet, which had been frozen for countless millennia.

But such an attack was still insignificant to Peter.

"Not bad, pretty fast." Peter simply commented this calmly in the face of Crow's pounce.

Then, he quietly raised one finger.

These seemingly insignificant fingers easily caught Kro's powerful blow.

As the muscles in his arms bulged, Kro's body gradually receded backward in the process.

"Hiss~"

Kro exclaimed in surprise; he had never seen an enemy with such exaggerated strength before.

He watched as he seemed about to be sent flying by this human with a single finger.

With a flick of his tail, the thick tail swept across like a whip wrapped in dark red energy.

Peter raised his arm to block, without taking even half a step back.

He shook his head slightly.

They are really too weak.

For him now, an opponent of Kro's caliber wouldn't even be good enough to warm up his normal form.

If Peter wanted to, he could probably just use a simple Hell Thrust or One-Hit Kill to smash this guy's head.

But Peter didn't do that. Instead, he looked down at his shabby watch—the gene acquisition progress was only 15 percent.

I'll have to deal with the little guy for at least another fifteen minutes.

"You're in luck; you have fifteen minutes left in your life countdown."

Peter said, raising his foot and kicking Crow back two steps, then beckoned to the monster with his finger, signaling him to come again.

Crowe had never suffered such humiliation before, and immediately used every means at his disposal to fight Peter.

Every move he made was aimed at killing Peter, but the scene looked more like he was giving Peter a gua sha treatment.

How should I put it? The scene looked...

It was just as desperate as Vegeta and the others joining forces to fight Frieza, who was making his first appearance on Earth.

Yes, that's indeed the case.

If we say that the average combat strength of humans on Earth today is utterly pathetic...

Nakro's current combat strength is estimated to be around 500,000.

Unfortunately, Peter's current combat strength is at least 53 million, which is his opponent!

Time passed second by second, and the gene collection progress on the little broken watch was steadily increasing.

Sixty percent, seventy percent, eighty percent...

Peter calmly and skillfully dodged Crow's attacks while checking the progress of collecting the little broken watch.

Finally, after fifteen minutes, the broken watch emitted a barely audible beep.

Progress: 100%

The genes of the mutant leader, Kro, have been fully recorded.

"I'm sorry!"

Just as the little broken watch indicated that the gene income was complete, Peter opened his hand and directly grabbed the fist that Kro was throwing.

With a cracking sound, the next second, Peter had crushed Kroo's fist into a pile of mangled flesh.

"Game time!"

Peter looked at Kro, who had taken a half step back and was looking at him with suspicion as he tended to his injuries.

Peter stretched his shoulders and neck, making a popping sound like popping beans.

Then, he turned the small, worn-out watch, and a slow smile crept onto his lips:

"As a reward for the gift you gave me, I've decided... to give you a quick death."

The moment he finished speaking, Peter pressed the small watch, and his body began to change.

Dark red exoskeleton emerged from under his skin and quickly covered his entire body. He grew taller, his limbs became long and powerful, and two pairs of translucent, thin, dark red-patterned wings extended from his back.

His skin changed from its original flesh color to an eerie pale white, covered with pale golden patterns like cracks in lava. These patterns spread along his collarbone, shoulder blades, and the back of his hands, shimmering faintly in the darkness.

His pupils also changed—from human-shaped circles to a pale, dark gold.

His overall appearance is somewhat similar to a certain Darkborn from Peter's past life memories.

That's right, it's that guy who used Yun Ana as bait, causing my Xinye to fall into his trap...

After Peter completed his transformation, Crowe couldn't help but take a step back, his ferocious face filled with terror.

The feeling was as if I were seeing my own ancestors.

Peter felt every inch of his new body.

He could feel all the abilities in the gene pool flowing smoothly within this mutant body—animal genes, the power of the Fantastic Four, Ego's Celestial energy, the Phoenix Force, the Sentinel's light energy, Dormammu's dark energy, and Falting's Devouring Power…

Everything converges within the same body, eliminating the need to switch back and forth using the small broken watch. Instead, all the power is simultaneously and completely integrated into the same body.

"Although it looks a bit ugly now... it feels... really good!"

He clenched his fist gently, feeling an unprecedented sense of fullness within his body.

Peter chuckled softly and then looked up at Chloe.

Just one look from him was enough to make Chloe jump!

He roared and lunged forward without thinking, grabbing at Peter's face as if he wanted to devour him.

puff~

A muffled thud echoed through the silent Alaskan wilderness.

It was a finger that easily pierced through Kro's head.

Just as Peter said before, dealing with Crow really is just a matter of lifting a finger.

Kro, whose head had been ripped open but whose wounds were healing rapidly, and the mutated race members around him, were filled with terror.

Peter thought for a moment and then raised his right hand.

A ball of blue-white chakra spun rapidly in his palm, compressed, condensed, and compressed again. Then, various kinds of energy began to be poured into it.

Cosmic energy, Phoenix power, dark energy... any one of these would be enough to give the mutants present a hard time, but at this moment, all of these energies were perfectly compressed into this chakra sphere.

buzz~

Finally, an unprecedented, enormous spiral shuriken, over two meters in diameter and gleaming with purple light, took shape.

Peter flicked his wrist, and the huge spiral shuriken flew out of his hand.

silent.

The expanding light made no sound.

Because at the moment the energy was released, even sound was swallowed up by the violent power itself.

Millions of fine energy blades erupted in all directions at the same moment, each blade precisely piercing the body of each mutant.

The terrifying energy blades within the spiral shuriken dismantle their structure at the molecular level.

Ajax's super-fast regeneration ability became completely useless at this moment—because regeneration requires the cell structure to still exist, and when the cells themselves are cut and broken down into the most basic particle form, no healing ability can take effect.

The white light filled the entire underground cavity for several seconds before slowly dissipating.

When the light faded, all the mutants, along with the entire ice field, vanished.

In a world of pure white, only Peter emerged.

He watched the first light of dawn in the east and murmured softly:

"Next..."

"It's time to deal with those traitors in the Eternals, and that unborn Celestial!"
