I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 292 Chaos

"You actually died once!"

Metis was acutely aware of the wounds he had inflicted with the [Scar of Death] dagger.

Unless you die, no matter what method you use, the wound torn by the "Death Mark" cannot be eliminated. Even if you cut off the flesh near the wound and transplant someone else's skin and flesh, the wound will reappear on the transplanted skin.

But now, the scar on Cassius's neck has disappeared.

The implications of this are self-evident.

If Metis hadn't been able to faintly sense that the soul of the person before him still exuded that unique, repulsive aura, just like before, Metis would have thought that the person in front of him was a completely different person.

"This is the blessing of our Lord."

After saying this, Cassius looked at the corpse he had personally placed into the ice coffin, then turned to Metis and said, "The opportunity to please my lord has arrived. Whether you can seize this opportunity and give your mother a new life depends on you."

·······

After leaving the icehouse where Metis was, Cassius rushed to a manor without stopping.

This estate is very large.

Its exterior is majestic and magnificent, which is out of place in this somewhat poor and backward rural town.

And hidden deep within this manor are even more secrets unknown to others.

In the center of the manor, beneath the largest building, which resembles a palace or a church, lies a unique and enormous room.

On the walls surrounding the room, eerie and decadent murals appeared and disappeared in the dim light, tinged with a seductive glow.

Nude limbs are intertwined like snakes in the mural, exuding extreme indulgence and a touch of gloom and repression.

The room was rather empty, with not much decoration, except for a huge, dark red bed that stood out prominently.

On this large bed lies a delicate body, drenched in fragrant sweat.

A blush rose on her beautiful face, and a few strands of hair, damp with sweat, clung to the corners of her mouth.

Her slightly slender body had a touch of plumpness, and this slight plumpness did not ruin her figure; on the contrary, it added an allure and charm that slender women lacked.

At this moment, her slightly ethereal nun's robes appeared somewhat disheveled, creating a stark contrast with the snow-white skin peeking through them in the dim light...

It exudes a strange allure.

Around the large bed, several thin, emaciated figures lay on the ground, panting.

If it weren't for their still-heaving chests, telling others they were still alive.

Anyone who sees them for the first time would probably mistake them for a drained corpse.

"Snap!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of the door opening.

Cassius, whose face was still pale but had strangely regained a trace of color, stepped into the underground room.

I heard a sound.

Lying in bed, her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the door where the nun was. Upon seeing Cassius, her eyes lit up, and she subconsciously licked her dry lips with her soft tongue. Then, she let out a seductive hum as Cassius stepped into the room.

"Cassius, you finally couldn't resist coming to see me?"

Although Cassius had never been particularly interested in matters between men and women, he had to admit that the figure on that dark red bed possessed a captivating allure that could corrupt.

The specially arranged environment of this room, and the bronze incense burner faintly burning around the large bed, can extremely arouse the desire within a person.

It makes one wish they could transform into a wild beast the next second, rush forward and brutally ravage and tear that beautiful figure to shreds.

However, when Cassius's eyes swept over the several emaciated figures around the large bed, exhausted of their energy and seemingly about to enter hell at any moment, Cassius instantly extinguished the wisp of desire that had been ignited in his heart.

"Stop playing around, Cordina. The incense burner I gave you wasn't for you to seduce me!"

Upon hearing this, Cordina, who had originally wanted Cassius to fill the mysterious cleavage she craved, pursed her lips slightly and then lazily sat up from the bed.

She didn't mind exposing large areas of her snow-white skin to the air.

After tidying her hair in front of Cassius, Cordina spoke up, "I remember you were looking for suitable candidates to fill the positions of the Seven Sins that were lost last time, weren't you? How come you, such a busy person, have time to come see me today? Is it because you've already found candidates and plan to have the rest of us work together to set up a trial so that they can fully inherit the power of the Seven Sins?"

"I have indeed found almost all the candidates for the Seven Deadly Sins, but this matter is not urgent. I am here for another matter."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Kodina's eyes.

"Oh, what is it that you consider more important than confirming the successor to the Seven Deadly Sins? This is a task personally assigned to you by our Lord."

Upon hearing this, Cassius's face showed a look of piety, and he said in a deep voice:

"Compared to confirming the remaining three heirs of the Seven Deadly Sins, it is certainly more important for our Lord to truly descend into this world. I have received news that soon, an alien army will descend upon New York in order to conquer Earth. And this... will be the best time for our Lord to descend into the world."

The collision between the two planets will inevitably cause countless casualties.

Not to mention that the other side is aiming to conquer the Earth.

At that time, it wouldn't be surprising if New York, a megacity with a population of over ten million, were reduced to ashes.

For people like them...

This grand slaughter and death, the chaos and depravity it brings, will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Cordina, who was on the large bed, instantly sprang up and appeared before Cassius with incredible speed.

"An alien army has landed in New York, are you sure?"

"Of course, I died once for it."

Upon hearing Cassius's words, Cordina's pupils constricted slightly as she carefully examined him, and she subtly took a step back.

The being they worshipped, though possessing power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, still held the ultimate taboo—the ability to bring the dead back to life—and this came at a price.

Cordina clearly remembered that those seven sins who, through the grace of the Lord, were fearless of death, had died several times and then suddenly transformed into monsters.

A terrifying monster that has completely lost its mind and its sense of self.

The reason why the Seven Deadly Sins are still missing a few is because...

It was because one of the Seven Deadly Sins, after dying several times, completely lost control and caused irreversible damage to them.

Seemingly sensing the apprehension in Cordina's eyes, Cassius gave a pale smile:

"Don't worry, I'm not like that good-for-nothing from before. I'm not that easy to lose control."

"Alright, enough of that nonsense. You gather the others. We must get everything in order before that once-in-a-lifetime war arrives, or we'll miss this opportunity and never know when we'll have another chance like it..."

···········

Tony Stark's luxurious seaside villa, inside that sprawling studio.

The place was a complete mess.

Tony, looking somewhat disheveled, was fast asleep on a sofa piled high with Iron Man parts, clutching an Iron Man helmet.

"Oh my goodness!"

With a beep, the bulletproof glass door of the workshop opened, and Pepper exclaimed in surprise at the scattered parts on the floor.

After struggling to cross the ground piled with various parts, where there was nowhere to put one's feet, we finally made our way across.

Pepper walked up to the expensive sofa stained with oil and looked at the tired face on it.

For some reason, I felt a little reluctant to wake him.

After taking off her coat and covering Tony with it, Pepper went to the worktable next to her.

He turned to Jarvis and asked, "Jarvis, what did Tony do? How did this place become like this?"

Under Pepper's questioning.

A blue light immediately illuminated Tony Stark's control panel.

"In order to prepare for the impending war that Mr. Arryn mentioned, Mr. Stark worked through the night to refine the designs for several sets of armor. Including the time before, Mr. Stark had been working non-stop for more than 38 hours, and he didn't fall asleep until 6 a.m...."

Pepper said with some dissatisfaction, "Very well, the disaster that Erin mentioned hasn't even arrived yet, and he's already planning to die suddenly on this workbench, is that it? Jarvis, next time Tony works for more than 12 hours straight, notify me immediately."

Jarvis: "Yes, Miss Pepper, in fact, I also think that Stark's current work style is irresponsible."

"You're talking badly about me behind my back? Very well, it seems the program upgrade I gave you yesterday has greatly improved you. But talking badly about me isn't a good habit..."

Awakened by Pepper and Jarvis's conversation, Tony Stark shook his slightly dizzy head and subconsciously muttered a comment.

However, Tony was clearly not angry at Jarvis's words; on the contrary, he seemed rather pleased.

Jarvis's improved intelligence also means that his Mark Armor, with Jarvis's assistance, can handle more and more complex situations in the future.

Hearing this good news with war looming ahead was obviously something to be happy about for Tony Stark.

prior to.

During the Battle of Braun Street.

Not only Arryn, but Tony Stark also secretly kept the remains of several mechanical beings.

Although Tony didn't understand why each of those robots had a strong sense of self, after more than a month of research...

Tony Stark also gained a lot of inspiration from those wreckages.

Not only did they adjust and optimize the structure of the Mark armor based on the special forms of those mechanical lifeforms, but they also upgraded Jarvis by using a portion of the algorithms they deciphered from the wreckage.

Ok.

As it stands.

The effect was obvious; Jarvis even learned to secretly talk badly about him behind his back.

Seeing Tony sit up from the sofa, Pepper said irritably:

"Hmm, I don't think Jarvis was saying anything bad. He was just stating the facts. Tony, that's irresponsible of you. I don't want to hear about you suddenly dying one day. If that happens, I'll have to find myself a new fiancé."

Hearing Pepper's last words.

Tony, who was still a bit groggy from lack of sleep, suddenly snapped awake, as if a jar of vinegar had been spilled.

"No, I won't give you that chance."

In matters of the heart, Tony has always been selfish; he doesn't want Pepper to fall into someone else's arms.

If such a thing were to happen, Tony believed that even if he went to hell, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of hell and kick the man who dared to approach Pepper between the legs, so that he would never be able to be a man again.

After saying that, Tony got up from the sofa, opened his arms and walked towards Pepper, saying, "See? I'm healthy. Trust me, Pepper, I know my body very well..."

Halfway there, Tony realized Pepper was genuinely angry, and immediately gave a surrender look, saying, "Okay, I surrender. I promise I'll never do it again. Hmm, I'll go to Erin's place later and have him give me a Holy Light Heal..."

"snort!"

After reluctantly forgiving Tony, Pepper said, "Coulson came to the company again. It seems S.H.I.E.L.D. is planning to restart the Avengers program and is considering inviting you to join. You seemed quite interested in that Avengers thing before, so I came to ask you..."

After hearing Pepper's words, Tony, who had taken a bottle of Fountain of Life from the refrigerator next to his workbench and poured most of it into his mouth, pursed his lips and said:

"The Avengers? S.H.I.E.L.D. has a ton of messes to deal with right now, I have no interest in getting involved!"

The moment Tony finished speaking.

The soft blue light emanating from the workbench in front of him turned into a blinding red light.

At the same time, Jarvis also issued an alarm.

"Sir, Stark Tower has been invaded."

Tony, who was about to gulp down the remaining half bottle of Fountain of Life, was taken aback by what he heard.

soon.

Jarvis then used Stark Tower's defense system to project the live feed from the other end onto the screen.

Footage captured by Stark Tower's surveillance cameras shows a large group of heavily armed men quickly overcoming Stark Tower's security forces and then storming the building.

At that moment, in the surveillance footage, a man wearing a huge golden horn helmet seemed to have noticed something, and looked up at the location of the surveillance camera, revealing a bright smile.

Immediately afterwards, a blue energy wave shot out from the scepter in his hand, destroying the surveillance system.
