I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 227 Choice

(Finally finished, everyone can subscribe now with peace of mind.)

"I choose to exchange for the [damaged anchor]."

While the Broken Anchor doesn't possess the unparalleled protective capabilities of the Guardian Barrier, it also carries a terrifying curse that could erupt at any moment, making it seem fraught with hidden dangers.

However, it possesses a unique ability that the [Anti-Flight Stone] lacks: the ability to distinguish between friend and foe.

At the same time, unlike the [Guardian Barrier], it does not have the risk of becoming unusable once its energy is depleted.

therefore.

It's not surprising that Erin chose the "broken anchor" from these three items.

Of course, what excites Erin the most is the ability to anchor in space and jump between dimensions with an object after repairing the [broken anchor].

If my own home could eventually evolve into a moving castle like this...

This will greatly enhance the effect on Ailin.

At the same time, it will also greatly enhance Erin's ability to survive to some extent.

········

With Erin's confirmation.

The other two phantoms on the other side of the scales of fate vanished abruptly, while the rusty, massive anchor phantom was instantly obscured by a thick fog of fate.

When the fog clears.

A massive ship anchor, which had been initially intangible, appeared before Erin.

After transforming from virtual to real, the anchor even appeared to have become several times larger in size.

Even standing at an angle on the ground, the anchor with a broken tip looked several sizes larger than Erin's body.

The anchor's surface was covered with verdigris rust, full of signs of corrosion, adding to the sense of age of this dilapidated anchor.

On the right side of the anchor, at the broken anchor tip, there were tiny black dots.

The moment Erin saw those tiny black dots, a hazy image seemed to appear before his eyes.

Above the endless chaotic sea.

A colossal, dark blue-green anchor, obscuring the sky, pierced through the void, crushing it inch by inch, and then crashed down from the endless chaotic sea with a terrifying, world-destroying force.

But before it could completely crash down, a giant blue-green fist emerged from the void, shattering it into two pieces and sending it flying.

With that punch.

The enormous, dark blue-green anchor that blotted out the sky was instantly shattered, its very essence broken into several pieces.

After being bombarded by terrifying forces, like a kite with a broken string, it smashed one world barrier after another.

The anchor finally came to rest on the edge of a shattered world, and by then, the enormous anchor that had blotted out the sky had shrunk a thousand times over.

but.

As it was blasted apart and sent flying, the huge, dark blue anchor also smashed a hideous wound into the blue giant fist.

Countless splattered bluish-black blood.

One of the drops of blood, after bursting open, happened to stick to the crack in the anchor.

The anchor was covered with many bluish-black spots.

With a single punch, he shattered the anchor of the ghost ship that spanned the heavens, smashing through countless worlds.

So, just how powerful is the owner of this drop of blood?

Even if it's weak.

Erin guessed that the owner of this drop of blood was also a true deity!

The deities that Erin is referring to are not the cosmic gods of the Marvel universe.

Even Odin, who traversed the nine realms and established a formidable reputation, was still far from being a true god in Arryn's eyes.

Not to mention those so-called gods of the universe who are all talk and no action.

·······························································

As Erin silently gazed at the drop of blood, the dried bloodstain seemed to come alive, twisting eerily.

"Um?"

Erin, thinking that his gaze had triggered something, felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to do something, the twisted sign disappeared without a trace, and the dried bloodstain remained in its original position, seemingly without any abnormality.

What Erin had just seen seemed to be just his hallucination.

"That's really weird!"

Erin didn't believe that everything he had just seen was an illusion.

Fortunately, I didn't sense any trace of the curse under those circumstances, so it seems that the curse on the [broken anchor] has not yet shown any signs of erupting.

While comforting himself, Erin silently increased his vigilance towards the tattered anchor.

··························

Because of what just happened.

After exchanging for the [Broken Anchor], Erin did not immediately return to the real world.

Instead, he used his mysterious knowledge to set up ritual arrays on the body of the [broken anchor].

These rituals and arrays have a certain sealing effect on curses, effectively reducing the "activity" of curses and slowing down the time and frequency of curse outbreaks.

Furthermore, it can provide a warning to Erin when the curse erupts, so that Erin won't be unaware that the curse has already occurred.

To avoid the harm that looking directly at the blood and foam might cause, Erin specially set up a ritual array to block his view.

"Done, job done."

More than an hour later, Erin clapped his hands and let out a soft sigh.

After completing the preparations and issuing warnings, Erin returned to the real world with the [Broken Anchor].

of course.

The broken anchor was not only enormous, but its weight was also astonishing; according to Erin's estimation, it weighed at least tens or hundreds of tons.

With Erin's strength, he couldn't lift it at all.

Therefore, in the end, Erin simply placed his hand on the anchor and, with the help of the power of the balance space, brought it back to the real world.

Fortunately, the broken anchor was something Erin had traded with the Scales of Fate; otherwise, the Scales of Fate wouldn't have cared about it.

If fate didn't lend a hand, Erin really wouldn't have been able to bring something this heavy back to the real world.

"Thump!"

Almost the instant Erin returned to the real world, a muffled sound echoed in Erin's bedroom.

With this loud bang, the floor of Erin's bedroom instantly cracked, and even the cement floor beneath it quickly developed rings of cracks, like a spider web.

If it weren't for the fact that everything in this house had been strengthened by the monsters more than once.

Given the quality of the federal housing, most of the floors really couldn't withstand the terrifying force that was released when it crashed down.

Even if he smashed through the floor of the third floor, or even all the way through the second floor, the first floor, and into the basement, Erin wouldn't be surprised.

"Luckily, the house was reinforced by some monsters, otherwise I would have had to sleep in a different room tonight."

Just as Erin was secretly clicking his tongue and shaking his head at the blow,

A large, square head emerged from beside the broken floor, as if passing through a ripple of water.

After emerging, the little monster first glanced at the culprit who had smashed a dent into its body, then gave Ailin a resentful look.

Its resentful little eyes seemed to wonder why its owner would put such a big lump of iron inside its body.

That really hurt!

"Sorry, little monster, I didn't expect this thing to be so heavy."

He gave the little monster an apologetic look, gently stroked its big head, and comforted it.

Erin looked at the little monster, then at the broken, massive anchor, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He asked, "Little monster, can you devour this anchor like you devoured the furniture and weapons that were originally placed there, and turn its power into your own?"

? ? ? ? ? ?

My master wants me to eat this big iron lump?

The little monster, with a row of question marks popping into its mind, was stunned for a second before finally opening its mouth wide and swallowing the rusty, huge anchor whole.

After swallowing the giant anchor, the little monster's belly swelled up several times.

Swallowing this big guy seems to have caused the little monster some indigestion.

After twisting and turning a few times in place, the little monster suddenly spat out the huge anchor with a "whoosh".

"Thump!"

After another loud bang, large sections of the floor in Erin's bedroom shattered again.

And after it spat out that huge anchor.

A message was also transmitted to Erin's mind.

"Master, you can swallow it, but..."

From the fragmented information transmitted by the little monster, Erin slowly understood what the little monster meant.

Given enough time, the monster can indeed devour the broken anchor and turn it into part of the house.

However, this broken anchor was of a very high level, and the little monster didn't know how long it would take to digest this big iron lump.

It's not something that can be done in a short time.

Moreover, after it devours the anchor, although it can also possess the [Imprisonment] ability, it can forget about the other dimensional jump ability hidden in the anchor.

Once devoured by the monster, any object assimilated by it will lose its ability to evolve.

Even if, as the monsters improve, the house itself, along with everything inside, evolves and transforms.

This broken anchor might not even be able to repair the ability to jump between dimensions.

Because at that time, after being assimilated by the monster, everything inside its body will silently move towards the direction of the monster's evolution, eventually becoming a true whole.

"I see!"

After receiving the information from the little monster, Erin frowned slightly, feeling a bit of a headache.

The digestion time is long enough, since Erin can wait.

But if Dimensional Peach Blossom's abilities also disappear, then it would be a case of losing more than gaining.

After all, the reason Erin exchanged for this [Broken Anchor] was because he valued its ability to teleport.

"It seems we can't let the smaller monster devour this big guy for now."

"Even if we really want to devour it, we need to repair the anchor's dimensional jump ability first."

After making this decision.

Erin then had the little monster move the huge anchor to the basement.

As the anchor was moved.

The broken floorboards in Erin's bedroom were quickly repaired after a flash of eerie light.

Before long, the floor of Erin's bedroom was repaired and restored to its original state.

·························

And at this time.

Following the information given by the compass of fate, after setting the house as a confinement area, Erin began to test the confinement ability of the broken anchor in his own house.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of his fingers, Erin, who wanted to use the flames to leap to the fire ten meters away, ended up standing still in the same spot.

"Clap clap clap!"

Even after Erin snapped his fingers several times, his body remained motionless in place, without moving an inch.

The space that should have been distorted enough for Erin to instantly traverse when he used Flame Leap was now like an impenetrable wall blocking his way.

Even at the very moment Erin used his flames to leap.

A powerful binding force held him in place, giving him no chance to jump.

Seeing this, Erin nodded in satisfaction.

Although his own fire leap was a bit shorter, his mastery of spatial rules was probably no less than that of Kamar-Taj's portal spell.

Since his own Flame Leap was unusable, it was likely that the Ancient One's portal would also be temporarily unable to break into the space imprisoned by the Broken Anchor.

"call!!!"

I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Erin couldn't help but think of the Philosopher's Stone that he had once despised.

The fact that he was able to exchange something like the Broken Anchor from the Scales of Fate suggests that the Philosopher's Stone is far more valuable than he had imagined.

In terms of value, it might not even be much inferior to the [Byron Transformation Array].

From this perspective...

What Gu Yi said was not entirely untrue.

but.

All of this did not change Erin's opinion of the Ancient One in the slightest.

This only strengthened a certain idea in Erin's mind.

··························

After testing the anchor's binding force...

Erin then infused his own aura into the anchor.

As Erin's aura was injected, the space around him that had been subtly imprisoning him quickly returned to its original state.

With another snap of his fingers, Erin easily teleported to the ball of flame ten meters away.

Everything around seemed to have returned to normal, but Erin knew very well that from this moment on, her home was no longer the same.

Even the Ancient One could no longer enter her own realm through the portal.

After a long day of fussing around, Erin was getting a little hungry.

She went into the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous meal for herself. In addition to a nutritious meal, Erin also specially cooked a few of her favorite dishes.

As the food is served to the table, people eat in silence.

Erin's gaze seemed to pierce through the dark night outside the window.

He looked toward Hell's Kitchen, where his clone was.
