I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 266 Psychic Communication

The destruction caused by missile explosions is more of a widespread, oppressive destruction.

Even if the explosion was so powerful that it caused the road surface above the sewers to collapse, the resulting hole would only be a large, sprawling depression.

Instead of the current hole, which is almost vertically melting and collapsing downwards.

Coulson and his team were among the elite of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elites.

After calming down a bit, they quickly realized something was wrong.

As they bent down slightly, a strong smell of sulfur rushed towards them along with the cold wind gushing from the sewers.

"Don't tell me this was done by that lizard monster?"

After carefully examining the dark opening, which appeared to have been melted by something, Coulson gasped with a hint of unease, then said with a wry smile, "Otherwise, we should be thankful that the lizard didn't use its full strength when we fought it earlier?"

"Didn't use its full strength? I don't think so. If it were really that powerful, we wouldn't have forced it to run away."

Sharp-eyed Clinton pointed to the bloody claw marks that stretched from the dark cave entrance into the depths of the sewers and said, "That lizard monster must have been seriously injured in that explosion, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much blood. Should we chase after it?"

"certainly."

After saying it affirmatively.

Captain America slung his vibranium shield over his back and leaped down through the dark hole.

After seeing Captain America jump down, Coulson stopped Clinton and Natasha, who wanted to follow closely behind, and said, "The environment in the sewers is not conducive to your performance. You two just stay up there and be ready to provide support. As for that lizard monster, Captain America and I will be enough to go down."

The sewers, with their narrow and dark spaces, were clearly not a suitable place for Clinton to unleash his full potential.

If they were to get close to a tough-skinned lizard monster in such a place, it would be a terrible disaster for the two of them.

Seeing this, Natasha and Clinton did not try to be brave.

"Okay, then be careful."

After nodding to Clinton and the other man, Coulson used his silver-white metal arm to push off the ground and leaped into the sewer.

············

At the other end of the sewer.

In the dimly lit sewer, a nearly naked figure leaned against the stained wall, staggering and groping its way forward.

By this time, Dr. Connors had already regained his human form.

The lizard gene serum, though potent in its self-healing ability, eventually exhausted its last bit of energy after directly withstanding Hawkeye's special arrow and a small missile.

After Connors' injuries had barely healed.

Connors then returned to his normal human form from his lizard form.

As Dr. Connors returned to human form, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually faded, and he regained some of his rationality.

Driven by a sliver of reason and instinct, Dr. Connors kept changing course, trying to mislead the terrifying group of pursuers behind him.

But before he could run very far...

In the dimly lit sewer, a glint of cold light suddenly appeared.

Before Dr. Connors could react, a pale white dagger slashed toward his back with incredible speed.

Backstab

"Pfft!"

With a sound like a sharp blade piercing flesh, a small section of the sword tip, seeping with streaks of blood, pierced through Dr. Connors' chest.

"No!!!"

Almost instantly, Dr. Connors' pupils suddenly transformed into a pair of golden vertical pupils.

The next second, bulging muscles and dark green scales burst out from Dr. Connors' body, stretching him into a giant lizard monster.

"Pfft!"

Having landed a successful blow, Kiris showed no sign of stopping after seeing the change in her opponent.

With a powerful kick to the back of the monster in front of her, Kiris managed to pull out the dagger that was being held between the lizard doctor's back muscles by the strong reaction force.

With a light leap, Gillies landed and silently disappeared into the surrounding shadows.

It was as if it had never existed.

"Pfft!"

As the dagger was pulled out, a fountain of blood gushed from Dr. Connors' back.

The attack hit its mark, and upon seeing this, Kiris immediately dodged to the side.

They quickly disappeared into the darkness that was everywhere in the sewers.

"Damn it!"

Suppressing the excruciating pain in his back, Connors was about to retaliate when a steady, unhurried footstep sounded in his ears.

"Dr. Connors, I thought you would change your past fate, but I didn't expect you to end up on this path."

"snort."

Dr. Connors ignored what Erin said and used the sound to pinpoint Erin's location.

The lizard monster pushed off the filthy sewer with its feet, the powerful force propelling it across a distance of seven or eight meters. With its giant, gleaming claw, it slammed it down hard on Erin's head.

Instead of the expected sound of a watermelon bursting open, Dr. Connors's arm, which had finally healed, suddenly pierced through with excruciating pain.

Stimulated by the pain, Dr. Connors's vertical pupils suddenly cleared.

Only then did he realize that the thing he had slammed down on earlier and "exploded" was not Erin, but a thick cement pillar in the sewer.

No wonder when I slapped him, I not only failed to blow Erin's head off, but instead felt a piercing pain.

It turns out he hadn't hit the target at all! Just as Dr. Connors was about to pull out his claws that were stuck in the concrete pillar...

A huge scepter, accompanied by a violent whistling sound, smashed down towards Dr. Connors' back.

[Deterrence]

In the darkness, a dim yellow light flashed by, and Dr. Lizard, whose genes had been infused with some demonic genes, was immediately judged as an evil creature by the Angel's Scepter.

The next second, the terrifying strength bestowed upon Erin by the angel's scepter tripled instantly.

boom!

As the monstrous strength suddenly increased, the angel's scepter, which was already leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air, suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The shattered sonic boom of the angel's scepter struck Dr. Connors in the back in an instant, at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Click!

Then a sound of bones breaking rang out.

Dr. Lizard was blasted away by the terrifying blow and slammed hard into the wall in front of him.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, a noticeable vibration was felt in the sewer that had been dented by the impact.

Immediately afterwards, the dust in the gaps at the top of the sewer began to fall down with a "rustling" sound as the vibration occurred.

"Wow···"

Dr. Lizard, whose spine had been broken by Erin's blow, slowly slid down the wall and then coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It's unclear whether it was Erin's blow that completely shattered the last bit of power in the lizard's genes, or whether it was out of fear of the angel's scepter in Erin's hand that exuded immense pressure on evil creatures.

As the stagnant blood was expelled, Dr. Lizard's body twitched violently and transformed back into human form.

This time, Dr. Lizard's eyes regained their clarity completely.

Dr. Connors' face turned pale as he recalled what he had done while he was transformed into a lizardman.

Overwhelmed by an indescribable nausea, Connors, feeling a churning in his stomach, immediately turned and began vomiting profusely.

"vomit······"

As chunks of flesh corroded by stomach acid gushed from his mouth, Dr. Connors' face completely lost its last trace of color.

Immediately afterwards, an even stronger wave of nausea surged up inside me.

···············

I don't know how long I vomited.

Looking at Dr. Connors, who was lying amidst a pile of filth, his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he wanted to vomit his own internal organs.

Erin shook his head, then extended his palm and made a shooting motion towards Dr. Connors' head.

"Bang!"

With a sound like a gunshot, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in Dr. Connors' head, as if he had been shot.

【Ding! 】

[The host prematurely kills Dr. Lizard, a supporting character in the story, causing ripples in the river of fate... and gains 3000 Fate Points.]

Pfft!

Looking at Dr. Connors lying on the filth he had vomited, Erin shook his head.

Erin had originally planned to get some information from Dr. Connors, but now, seeing how Dr. Connors looked like he was in agony after recalling what he had just eaten, he decided to just send him on his way.

Consider it a reward for the letter of recommendation he wrote for Gwen.

Even if Connors dies, I'll still find a way to get the information I want from him.

While the Diviner sequence cannot communicate directly with spirits that have not yet dissipated like the "Spiritualist," they can still barely gain the ability to communicate with spirits through the assistance of some ritual magic.

What I need to do now is to obtain the information I want from Connors' spirit through a "spiritual" ritual.

"Kiris, please seal off the area for me and prevent anyone from disturbing me."

"clear."

After a reply from Kiris in the dimly lit sewers, silence quickly returned.

But Erin knew that Kiris, hidden in the darkness, was guarding him to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

After walking a few steps up to Connors' body,

Arlin then took out a delicate glass vial labeled "Spirit Communication" from the Ring of Greed.

This is a "spirit powder" that Erin made in her spare time to familiarize herself with some tricks and ritual magic, using herbs such as mint, tulip, and deep red sandalwood.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

After unscrewing the cap of the small glass bottle, Erin brought it to his nose and took a light sniff.

Soon, a slightly stimulating, refreshing fragrance dispelled the foul stench of the sewer and entered Ailin's nostrils.

After confirming that the taste was correct, Erin poured some "spirit powder" into his palm, then calmed his mind and deepened his gaze.

Then, after putting away the glass bottle, Erin picked up the powder, infused it with spiritual energy into the "spiritual powder" in his palm, and sprinkled it on the ground.

They sprayed water as they walked, circling around Connors's body.

An invisible spiritual wall suddenly rose up, isolating this place from the outside world.

After the spiritual wall was established, Erin took out other glass bottles and dripped liquids needed for the séance, such as "Amanda" and "hydrosol," onto the surrounding area in turn...

After the last bottle of the necromancy aid was dripped into Connors's body by Erin.

Erin then managed to create a psychic ritual environment that isolated Connors' spirit from the surrounding environment.

Having done all this, Erin stored the glass bottles and necromancy materials into the Ring of Greed, and then, in a semi-meditative state, began to chant the incantation for the necromancy ritual in a low voice:

"I pray to the great power that oversees destiny;"

"I pray to the spiritual forces in the unseen realm;"

"I pray to communicate with the remaining spirits within the altar..."

As the incantation echoed in the sealed environment, Erin suddenly felt a vast, terrifying, and hidden power descend upon him.

His eyes turned black instantly, as if he had lost his pupils and the whites of his eyes.

Seizing the opportunity, Erin silently recited the "divination phrase" in his mind:

"The reason why Connors became the way he is now."

"The reason why Connors became the way he is now."

·············

While silently reciting, Erin used the power of meditation to briefly enter a dream and establish a mysterious connection with the remnant spirit of Connors.

In a trance, Erin entered a hazy, gray world devoid of sky and earth.

In this world, a semi-transparent, illusory figure stood silently before him.

Although the semi-transparent figure was somewhat blurry, it was still clear that the semi-transparent face was Connors's face.

After taking a deep breath, Erin reached out his right hand and touched the remaining spirit of Connors.

With a loud bang.

But the moment Erin's right hand touched the remnant of Connors' spirit, the scene before him suddenly changed.

In a room filled with various sophisticated instruments, Erin saw Kurt Connors inject a tube of eerie blue reagent into his severed right arm. Then, in a spasm, he transformed into a demonic lizard with horns on its head.

Then the scene changes.

Then came the scene of a pale-faced man in a sophisticated laboratory, helping Kurt Connors successfully develop the tube of dark blue reagent.

And the figure that helped Kurt Connors develop the ghostly blue reagent was none other than...
