I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 271 The Faceless Man

(Finally finished fixing it.)

Dr. Banner, who was invigorated and entered a state of excitement, began to study mechanical life forms.

Erin smiled and shook his head.

Indeed, the power of love is boundless.

Spurred on by his girlfriend, Dr. Banner unleashed an unprecedented passion.

············

After leaving Dr. Banner's lab, Erin had only walked a few steps when she ran into Fregra, who had just arrived at Miracle Building, as she stepped out of the elevator.

Erin glanced at the huge electronic clock displaying 7:23 in the lobby of the Miracle Building, and frowned slightly as he looked at Fregra:

"Why are you here so early? Where's Lilith?"

Upon seeing Erin, Fregra felt a warmth in his heart as he was about to speak, but then heard Erin's concern for his daughter.

"I've already sent Lilith home. She has a nanny to take care of her, so I don't need to worry about her. But regarding the matter of Tony Stark endorsing the Miracle Potion, there are some things I need to confirm with you, Boss, as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Fregra took a printed document from his briefcase and handed it to Erin.

"I confirmed with Ms. Pepper before I came. According to Mr. Stark's own wishes, he will not accept any endorsement fee for this endorsement. His only requirement is that if he is injured in the future, you must provide him with medical assistance as soon as possible, Boss."

"Mr. Stark is very firm on this point. I've tried to communicate with him several times, but he refuses to change the terms. Boss, should I speak with him again?"

Erin shook her head upon hearing this, "No need, let's leave it like this!"

If conditions permit, providing medical assistance to Tony as soon as possible is not difficult; it's basically just a matter of applying holy light healing.

Even if Tony doesn't make that a condition.

If Tony were to suffer any serious injuries and Aunt Pepper were to ask her to save him, Erin would almost certainly not refuse.

However, that guy used this as a condition for his endorsement of the miracle drug.

It seems this guy still has the same feet that were pierced by thorns yesterday; he really suffered a lot.

However, this is for the best.

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, Tony Stark will undoubtedly be more careful and vigilant when facing enemies in the future.

With the Mark armor, he should be less likely to get injured in the future, which will save Aunt Pepper some trouble.

amount.

Probably...

I don't know why.

With a strange premonition, Erin suddenly became somewhat uncertain.

Oh well, even if Tony Stark gets injured frequently in the future, it's no big deal. It'll just mean he'll use Holy Light healing one more time.

Anyway, after saving those critically injured and dying people this time, some of the holy light essence in Erin's body still remained.

Although it's not much, it can still be accumulated through a dozen or so Holy Light Healing sessions.

Thinking of this, Erin said to Fregra:

"Just agree to Tony Stark's terms, it's not a big problem. But there's one thing you need to pay attention to."

"The military will also be sending people to the Miracle Potion launch event in two days. I want to take this opportunity to talk to the military and see if I can get them to drop the arrest warrant for Dr. Banner."

"Before that, find out which people the military will send, and investigate their preferences and weaknesses. I'll handle the rest with the military myself..."

Dr. Banner?

Having been with Miracle Corporation for so long, Fregra had long since figured out what Dr. Banner was all about.

Seeing that his boss was planning to remove the wanted poster from Dr. Banner, Fregra closed the folder in his hand and smiled as he assured him, "I have a good personal relationship with Major General Portman of the military. Leave this small matter to me. Before the product launch, I will definitely investigate the background of the group of people sent by the military to attend the press conference."

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Oh, and I'll also leave the product launch to you."

"Don't worry, Boss, I've already made all the arrangements."

"That's good." After nodding, Erin said, "In that case, I'll go back and catch up on some sleep. Come to think of it, I haven't closed my eyes since yesterday."

After saying goodbye to Fregra, Erin left Miracle Corporation.

As for Gillies, she had already disappeared somewhere while Erin was talking to Dr. Banner.

···········

After returning to Chinatown.

Erin had already known that Pepper had left early that morning, and she had assumed that her house would be empty at this time.

Unexpectedly, a beautiful figure appeared in the kitchen.

Gwen, who had just placed a plate of hash browns on the table, immediately brightened up when she saw Erin.

"You're back. I just made some hash browns. Could you taste them for me?"

As she spoke, Gwen picked up a freshly fried hash brown and held it to Erin's lips.

I took a small bite of the steaming hot hash brownie that was offered to my mouth.

Erin gave Gwen a thumbs up.

"It tastes really good. Looks like I'll be enjoying it from now on."

Hearing Erin's praise, Gwen smiled brightly and said, "If you like it, I'll come and make it for you every day from now on."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Erin replied with a slightly praising tone, "Making me breakfast every day, is this my reward for saving my father-in-law?"

"No."

Before Erin could finish speaking, Gwen's fair arms wrapped around Erin's neck, and then she stood on tiptoe and kissed Erin's lips.

a long time.

Lip points.

Gwen, her face slightly flushed from lack of oxygen, looked up and said, "This is your reward for saving my dad. Thank you for saving my dad last night."

After savoring the warmth of her lips, Erin looked at Gwen's alluring lips and said with a wicked grin, "One kiss isn't enough to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, Erin lowered his head and kissed Gwen's warm, red lips again.

During the passionate kiss, Erin's hands naturally climbed up Gwen's waist.

············

A few minutes later.

Erin, who was pushed away by Gwen, couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Gwen's slightly swollen lips.

"You're still laughing!"

After rolling her eyes, Gwen glared at Erin with annoyance.

After laughing, Gwen nestled against Erin's chest and hugged him tightly once again.

The continuous explosions last night, like a small sun illuminating the pure white sky of New York, have already shocked the entire city.

Meanwhile, television stations were filled with reports of horrific casualties.

After George received the phone call and left.

Helen and Gwen spent a night filled with fear before finally mustering the courage to call George.

Fortunately, their worst fears did not come true.

It was from George that Gwen learned that her boyfriend had saved George's life again the previous night.

And then there's Helen's words.

If it weren't for Erin's help, Gwen would have been an orphan with no parents by now.

Thinking about this...

Gwen, nestled against Erin's chest, murmured "thank you" again.

Sensing the slight unease in the woman in his arms, Erin gently stroked Gwen's back to soothe her.

A while later.

After calming down a bit, Gwen struggled to get out of Erin's arms and said to Erin:

"I still have two sandwiches to prepare. Go take a shower first, and you can eat the breakfast I prepared for you after you're done."

"In fact, I can't wait."

After chuckling, Erin was sent up to the third floor by Gwen, and then went into the bathroom to wash up.

To be honest, Erin, who had been busy all night, was covered in gunpowder and the smell of blood.

The smell wasn't strong, but it certainly wasn't pleasant.

Otherwise, Gwen wouldn't have urged Erin to take a bath.

··········

I've taken a shower.

After changing into clean clothes.

Erin then went back to the second floor.

After watching Erin eat the large breakfast he had prepared.

Gwen didn't stay at Erin's house for long; she spent some time with Erin in his room.

Not wanting to disturb Erin's rest, Gwen left Erin's house.

Standing by the window, I watched Gwen leave.

Feeling much better, Erin didn't meditate and simply lay down on the bed to rest.

Not long after.

Feeling a little tired, Erin drifted off to sleep.

···········

I don't know how long I slept.

When Erin awoke again, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky cast a white frost over Erin's bedroom.

After opening her eyes, Erin, who was lying in bed, did not get up immediately.

I didn't even pay attention to how long I had slept.

I stared quietly at the white ceiling of my room for a while before leaving.

Erin closed his eyes again.

This time, however, Erin did not rest, but instead entered the Balance Space, which was filled with white mist and seemed to be eternally unchanging.

Having fully digested the [Magician] potion, Erin had no intention of wasting any more time.

So, after a good night's sleep...

Erin then entered the Balance Space.

Upon entering the Scales space, Erin immediately took out the divination coin.

The next second, Erin, his eyes deepening, silently recited to the captain's coin, which had begun to gleam with a spiritual light:

"I'm sure I'll get promoted this time."

"I'm sure I'll get promoted this time."

······

After seven repetitions, he flicked the silver coin in his hand, letting it tumble and spin continuously in the balance scale.

Erin only opened his half-closed eyes after it landed in his hand again.

Seeing the coin lying quietly in his palm, heads up, Erin nodded.

The silver coin facing up signifies affirmation, meaning there's no major problem with my advancement after taking the potion.

After confirming it through divination.

Erin reached his hands into the mercury-like white mist.

After some trial and error...

Erin took the special test tube containing the [Faceless Man] potion in his hand.

Looking at the transparent test tube, which was entirely dark green and occasionally contained tiny, colorful bubbles that looked like eyes, observing the outside world, Erin had an idea.

His spirit soared.

next second.

In a dizzying, disorienting state, Erin returned to her room.

This time, however, he had a vial of dark green medicine in his hand.

Get out of bed.

Walking to the window and gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, Erin didn't hesitate. He unscrewed the jade stopper on the test tube, then raised his hand and poured all the potion inside into his mouth.

A slightly tingling sensation quickly spread from Erin's mouth to his throat and abdomen, and then rapidly spread throughout his body.

In the blink of an eye.

Erin was paralyzed by the tingling sensation and lost consciousness.

This moment.

It was as if Erin's spirit had been detached from his body and appeared beside him from a peculiar perspective.

Then, I watched helplessly as my face began to merge.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears...

Erin's facial features seemed to have collapsed inwards in a strange way, like melted wax.

No, it's not just the facial features.

As time went on, the same changes occurred in Erin's head and even his body.

Erin's skin, muscles, blood, and even bones seemed to melt under a strange force, constantly melting and reforming.

Meanwhile, Erin's body was melting.

An unknown force suddenly appeared in Erin's soul, as if intending to melt and reassemble it as well.

No.

That's not right.

As if sensing the terror of the unknown, Erin instantly regained his sense of self under the intense sense of crisis.

Then, by forcing myself to stay focused, I used meditation to regain control of my mind and body.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Through repeated struggles and confrontations, Erin gradually regained control of her body.

Just after completely regaining control of his body, a sudden realization dawned on Erin's mind.

He knew that from this moment on, he had become a true "Faceless Man".

··········

"A mysterious sequence system—what a pathetic bunch of worms who finally succumbed to madness and loss of control!"

After a while, Erin, who had finally recovered from the shock of the promotion, couldn't help but sigh.

Even with a meditative state of mind and having thoroughly digested the [Magician] potion through role-playing, this advancement process...

Erin still felt the crisis several times.

It's like walking alone on a tightrope over a cliff; one wrong step and you'll fall into the abyss, facing the risk of madness and loss of control.

After this promotion, Erin was more exhausted than if he had gone through a major battle and saved hundreds of lives.

However... thankfully, I've made it through all of this.

He shook his head with a smile.

Erin slowly opened her eyes.

The next second...
