I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 198 An Encounter

Endless wails echoed in the deep sea.

All the creatures around that enormous being, swept by the sound wave, went mad.

Countless fish, shrimp, and deep-sea creatures frantically rammed around, attacking everything that came into their sight.

Not long after.

The crimson blood stained the sea surface for miles around.

Countless carcasses of fish, shrimp, and large deep-sea creatures kept surfacing...

After an unknown amount of time, when the terrifying howls ceased, within a ten-mile radius of the colossal creature, apart from a wounded deep-sea shark, there were no other living beings left.

next second.

A bizarre tentacle covered with countless eyes, like a javelin, instantly "torn" through a large area of ​​seawater, directly piercing through the deep-sea giant shark that was over ten meters long.

Followed by.

With a slight tremor of that terrifying, enormous tentacle, the body of the deep-sea giant shark was shattered into a cloud of blood mist.

After tearing apart the only "living" deep-sea shark around him.

Behind the massive sunken cruise ship, the madness in the eyes of the octopus-like behemoth seemed to have diminished slightly, shifting between madness and pain.

In this madness and agony, more "eyes" seemed to crack open on the body of this colossal creature.

At the same time, countless eyes on its body shattered, turning into blood that dripped into the huge sunken ship beneath it.

Just that instant.

The mist of fate in the Balance Space washed away the trace of curse mark attached to Erin, and through some mysterious connection, it also directly washed over the main body of this behemoth.

It dealt it a severe blow in an instant.

While suffering this devastating blow for no apparent reason, the terrifying being also lost sight of its prey in its "eyes."

but.

Because of this inexplicable and devastating blow, its consciousness was constantly teetering on the edge of reason and madness, and it quickly forgot about the prey that had suddenly aroused its great interest.

Driven by instinct.

With its soul severely damaged and most of its eyes shattered, the enormous creature, already weakened, stretched out its terrifying tentacles, each radiating an inexplicable aura.

It greedily absorbed the "essence of flesh and blood" that permeated the surrounding seawater to heal its injuries.

After "absorbing" the blood-stained seawater around them, they cleaned it up.

The enormous creature, its body riddled with countless shattered eyeballs, lay exhausted, entwined around the massive cruise ship, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

·····················

On the other side...

After confirming that Erin's spirit has been thoroughly cleansed and that there are no inexplicable curses or marks attached to it.

The mist of fate that had been washing down from the Balance Space suddenly swirled back, directly carrying Erin's spirit back into the Balance Space.

When all the mysteries of fate flow back into the balance space.

This balance space, located in some unknown dimension, slowly returned to calm.

Arlin, who reappeared on the edge of the River of Fate, stepped on the thick white mist that flowed like mercury, looking at the ever-flowing River of Fate and the unchanging scales of fate above it.

I felt a strange sense of peace.

Recalling the scene just now when the Balance Space used white mist to "wash away" and "annihilate" the strange figure on his body.

As Erin exhaled a long breath, he also realized that he knew too little about this mysterious space.

The strange phantom that was wrapped around me just now must have been a mark, or a curse, left on me by the giant deep-sea creature that had "watched" me earlier.

Erin guessed that when he was locked onto by those hundreds or thousands of giant eyes in his dream, his soul might have been entangled with an unknown curse or mark.

Combined with the previous sentence, "I...saw...you..."

This mark or curse may possess a certain degree of consciousness or location function.

This is probably why it angered the "hidden" balance space in an unknown dimension.

This caused the mist of fate that permeated the space of destiny to rush down directly from the heavens, instantly washing away the mark, or curse, that was wrapped around Erin's spirit.

Although the terrifying figure behind the ghost ship he saw in his dream was powerful, it was far inferior to the River of Destiny.

Even the omnipresent mist of fate in the Balance Space could not withstand it.

Ah!

Does this mean I've discovered a hidden function of the Balance Space?

If I were to be cursed or marked by some terrifying being in the future, could I use this function of the Balance Space to wash away the mark or curse on myself?

It seems I should spend more time in the Libra Space, whether I have something to do or not.

Putting everything else aside, at least that way you can ensure that you are not cursed by some unknown entity without your knowledge.

Upon discovering the hidden function of the Destiny Space, Erin also realized that this Destiny Space should not welcome other intelligent life forms besides himself, otherwise its reaction earlier would not have been so strong.

As for myself.

It must be because of that scale of fate that I was "treated differently" by the scale space!

Thinking about this...

Erin then looked toward the scales of fate that stood above the silver river, seemingly unchanging throughout the ages.

After spending about an hour in the balance space.

Erin then returned to the real world.

Having learned from her previous experience, Erin became much more cautious when reviewing the information provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before opening almost every folder, Erin would take a coin and do some divination.

Looking at the brand-new silver coin in his hand.

Erin couldn't help but reminisce about the divination coin that had been imbued with a trace of spirituality.

It's just a pity.

The coin, along with its clone, was reduced to ashes by the [Soul Blast] in Harlem.

I wonder how long it will take for this coin in my hand to possess the same spirituality as the previous coin.

········

"call······"

After rubbing my slightly sore eyes.

Erin picked up the coffee on the computer desk, which had long since gone cold, and drank it in one gulp. Then he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and stretched.

"Finally finished watching it."

After exhaling a slightly bitter breath, Erin opened her eyes again and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's already six o'clock. I can't believe I've stayed up all night. I can't care that my eyes are so dry."

Last night, after working almost all night, Erin read through all the strange events that S.H.I.E.L.D. had copied onto the silver USB drive.

There were quite a few strange occurrences on that USB drive.

Moreover, because they were screened by S.H.I.E.L.D., most of these bizarre events can be considered genuine supernatural events.

Among these bizarre events, aside from some bloody rituals perpetrated by cults and a few fabricated events involving supernatural beings, there were others.

Most of them are related to some extraordinary creatures.

Among them are some dark creatures similar to ghouls, water ghosts, and phantoms from dark legends, as well as mutated creatures that appear out of nowhere and cannot be described in words.

Compared to the dark creatures of ancient legends.

These mutated creatures are stronger, crazier, and more dangerous.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s data, the destruction caused by these aberrant creatures is far greater than that of the legendary dark creatures.

but.

Fortunately.

During this time, Erin did not discover any more terrifying creatures like the ghost ship.

Otherwise, Erin would have been truly terrified by the sheer number of monsters hidden in this world.

And based on the dates marked on these documents.

Erin discovered it.

During this period, the number of bizarre events in the world is constantly increasing.

The closer we get to the present, the more bizarre events occur.

And the creatures involved in those bizarre events are even more powerful.

············

"After Iron Man ushered in this extraordinary era, have all sorts of strange and powerful figures begun to take the stage, vying for attention?"

Shaking his head, Erin shut down the computer and then tossed the silver USB drive he had casually unplugged into the mouth of the little monster beside him.

This silver USB drive had been handled by S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many days that it was no longer "clean".

Erin had no intention of keeping this USB drive, which had been tampered with countless times by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Since I've already memorized all the data on the USB drive, this thing is useless to me now.

*Smack!*

The USB drive, gleaming with silver light, was instantly crushed to pieces by a row of sharp teeth after falling into the monster's mouth.

Then, it was quickly broken down into the most basic particles by the monster's seemingly bottomless belly.

No matter how much S.H.I.E.L.D. tampered with the silver USB drive, once it's inside the monster's stomach, all those methods will be rendered useless.

After seeing the little monster swallow the silver USB drive whole and head towards the bathroom, Erin, who was planning to take a shower, paused slightly, then pointed to her computer and said to the little monster:

"Let's swallow this one too!"

The moment the silver USB drive was inserted, the firewall that Erin had personally written after transmigrating was attacked by several unknown viruses.

Erin knew without even thinking who had created these viruses.

The viruses created by S.H.I.E.L.D. are extremely powerful in this day and age, but they are somewhat powerless against the firewall personally built by Erin, a veteran programmer with epoch-making experience.

If it weren't for the concern that directly scanning and removing these viruses might damage some files on the silver USB drive, Ailin would have already removed all of them.

Although his computer hadn't been infected by these viruses, Erin still didn't want to keep it.

Not for any other reason than that this computer is too old and has too poor specifications.

Even the firewall designed by Erin could barely handle it. What use is this garbage configuration to Erin?

Anyway, Erin isn't short of money right now.

Why not take this opportunity to upgrade to a more powerful computer? We can also design a firewall program to protect our privacy from being spied on by others.

As for the learning materials left behind by the original owner on this old computer, they were naturally destroyed.

Anyway, Erin has already "studied" it.

·············

After Erin finished showering, the sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

After a quiet night, Chinatown outside the window gradually came alive.

After coming out of the bathroom, Erin, who had been up all night, was too lazy to make breakfast. She simply changed into a tracksuit, grabbed some change, and went downstairs.

I had just stepped out the door.

The unique hustle and bustle of Chinatown in the early morning hits you in the face.

The enticing aromas of Chinese delicacies such as steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, pancakes, and rice noodle rolls wafted straight to Ai Lin's nose.

The delicate aroma made Ai Lin's mouth water.

Although the nutritious meals that Ai Lin made could better meet her nutritional needs, their monotonous taste was still far inferior to the unique delicacies created to conquer people's palates.

Along the street in front of my house.

Having eaten breakfast all the way, Erin patted his stomach and then slowly walked towards a nearby park.

There was still about an hour before class started, so Erin planned to go for a run in the nearby park to shake off the fatigue from sitting all night.

The park where Erin ran this time is a park built around a small artificial lake.

Because of its beautiful scenery and the specially built lakeside running track.

This park is very popular with those who enjoy morning runs.

Many morning running enthusiasts like to come here for a run early in the morning.

Especially female morning running enthusiasts.

As for those men...

Erin didn't rule out that the main reason they came here was because of the beautiful scenery.

We strolled leisurely to the park.

After feeling that part of her breakfast had been digested, Erin started jogging along the lake.

As Erin ran, the food in her stomach was rapidly digested and broken down by the peristalsis of her intestines.

This also made Erin run faster and faster.

In no time, Erin overtook one running enthusiast after another, leaving them far behind amidst their exclamations.

After Erin ran two laps in the park, he overtook almost all the other running enthusiasts by one lap.

Erin's lightning speed and slender, streamlined body immediately attracted the attention of a group of beautiful women.

If I had that kind of speed and stamina...

Just thinking about it makes these women jogging along the lake feel slightly warm, and even slightly damp.

Meanwhile, the male running enthusiasts who were drawn to the woman looked at Erin with a hint of jealousy.

"Hey."

Just as Erin started running his third lap, a figure that Erin recognized very well sped up from behind him.

This is... Steve Rogers?
