I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 318 Resurrection

After all, controlling ordinary flames and eternal flames are two completely different concepts.

[Flame Control] For Erin now, the only use of ordinary flames he can manipulate is to help him better position his flame jumps, and to provide support in conjunction with illusion magic to bluff.

but.

If that ordinary flame were replaced with Eternal Flame, then with the destructive power of Eternal Flame, the previously insignificant [Flame Control] would quickly become another trump card in Erin's hands.

This is a powerful supplement to Erin's limited range of offensive methods.

of course.

Making the Eternal Flame a regular means of combat is not so easy.

Moreover, before that, Erin had another problem to solve.

If he were to use the Eternal Flame as his regular means of combat, he would first have to solve the problem of carrying it with him.

but.

The energy contained in the Eternal Flame is too terrifying; ordinary containers cannot contain it, let alone carry it with one's person.

Arlin had just tried to absorb the Eternal Flame with the Ring of Greed, but before he could absorb it, the Ring of Greed withered on its own.

The entire ring became hot and burning.

It looked as if it would melt away in front of Erin if Erin dared to absorb the Eternal Flame.

In order to preserve his only space equipment.

Erin eventually gave up trying.

"Looks like I chose the wrong name after all! Your cowardly behavior is a disgrace to the name 'Ring of Greed.' If it were truly the Ring of Greed, then even in death, it should greedily devour a treasure like the Eternal Flame!"

After Erin finished speaking.

The Ring of Greed in his hand twitched slightly, but faced with the eternal fire that could burn it to ashes, it ultimately chose to play dead.

········

Across from Erin, after stuffing the [Perfect Human Skin] into his clothes, the clown Erin lazily said, "Don't bother trying. The Ring of Greed is useless and can't contain the Eternal Flame. If you ask me, you might as well give me the Ring of Greed and use the Fate Points you got from this battle to exchange for a spatial container that can carry the Eternal Flame... After all, I really can't do what we're planning to do without some spatial equipment."

"I was originally planning to exchange a new spatial ring for you, but since you've said so, you can have this one."

Upon hearing this, Erin said something, then took out some things he needed from the Ring of Greed and tossed the Ring of Greed to the clown Erin.

Compared to myself.

As they are about to disguise themselves as another person's clone according to their plan, they certainly need a space to equip themselves.

After tossing the Ring of Greed to his clone, Erin added, "I recently expanded the space inside the Ring of Greed. The gold I have stored in it can only cover two months' rent at most. Be careful."

"Alright, alright, stop nagging. You don't find it strange that you're lecturing yourself, but I do! But this lousy ring is such a coward, yet it's charging rent. I'll find something to teach it a lesson and correct this bad habit."

After saying this, the Joker Erin stood up from the sofa and said, "Let's seize the time. After we finish this business, while that bald guy is held up by the invasion of two more dimensions, I need to make some arrangements. I wonder where that Loki who returned from the Time Bureau has put the current Loki at this point in time. In order not to let that unlucky Loki disrupt our plans, I need to make some preparations."

After saying that, the clown Erin got up and rushed towards Erin himself.

He watched as the clone rushed toward him at breakneck speed.

Erin didn't dodge either; instead, he also took a step.

next second.

Erin and the clown's clone collided instantly.

However, the two sprinting quickly did not fall over; instead, they seemed to blend together seamlessly.

Apart from the clothes that fell to the ground after losing their support, which still proved something, the clown Erin seemed to have disappeared.

When the clown clone that had split off from Erin's body returned and merged back into Erin's body.

As the Joker clone merged with him, Erin's aura surged at a visible rate.

In no time at all, it climbed up a lot.

Even Erin, who had just taken the Faceless Man potion, had a portion of it digested instantly after the clown's clone merged with him.

In a sense, isn't the Joker, played by Erin's alter ego, also a deep-seated disguise and act?

···········

The surging aura emanating from Erin did not last long.

After reaching a peak, it gradually subsided.

As he absorbed the Faceless Man potion and felt the power boost from the Twins' combination, a slight smile appeared on Erin's lips.

However, he did not revel in the pleasure brought by this increase in power.

After calming my spiritual turmoil.

A thought flashed through Erin's mind.

The clown clone that had just merged into his body reappeared in front of him.

As the Joker's clone split again, the attribute boost that the Twins had added to Erin instantly disappeared, and Erin's aura visibly dropped significantly.

However, in contrast...

Through the twin talent, the clown clone that was re-split has also been upgraded in strength from the previous [Magician] to [Faceless].

Ailin's advancement in strength does not directly advance the level of his clone.

However, the same effect can be achieved by merging and then splitting.

Moreover, during the fusion, Erin can also accelerate the consumption of the potion through a unique experience.

One promotion, two benefits.

The existence of the twin talent brought Erin double the joy.

Meanwhile, the Joker's clone split off again.

He casually picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground and put them on.

He stretched out his right hand and pressed it against his face.

With a gentle swipe of the Joker's clone's right hand.

His face immediately changed, with a high, straight red nose, heavy eye shadow, an eerie yet hysterical madness and chaos, and an exaggerated smile that stretched all the way to his ears, creating a face that was unforgettable at first glance.

Walking to a bright glass mirror that reflected one's image, the clown Erin examined his new face and nodded in satisfaction.

"Is this the Faceless Man's ability? It's surprisingly convenient, but it seems like something's still missing..."

"Oh, right."

The next second, as if he had thought of something, the clown Erin's bones and ligaments suddenly cracked and popped.

As the voice rang out, the clown Erin suddenly shrank, and his bones seemed to swell up like a balloon.

In terms of appearance, the Joker Arryn at this time is almost indistinguishable from a certain Joker from another universe who has a love-hate relationship with Batman.

Even their hysterical madness and chaotic temperament became remarkably similar.

However, I looked at "myself" in the mirror for a few seconds.

The clown Erin then transformed back into his original form.

"I can't learn it, I can't learn it. Without that kind of heartfelt hysteria, I, this counterfeit product, am ultimately inferior to the genuine Ugly Duckling. Sure enough, it's not so easy to truly disguise yourself as someone else and reap the rewards. I finally understand why you made me wear that perfect human skin."

Hearing this, Erin said, "The disguise of the perfect human skin seems to have a certain causal ability, and can truly become another person on various levels. However, you should also pay attention to its side effects, so that you don't actually become someone else."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

After saying that.

The clown Erin dusted off his clothes and quickly left Miracle Tower.

After the clown Erin left.

Erin did not get up.

Instead, he closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes that the twin fusion had brought to him.

Although the power and spirituality of the Twin Talents superimposed on him disappeared after he split into clones again, the insights and power of the Faceless Man potion that Erin had digested after merging with his clones did not dissipate.

Even without the doubled power and spiritual amplification, Erin's power was already significantly greater than before the fusion.

The digestion progress of the Faceless Man's potion has increased dramatically from almost nothing.

A twin fusion proved that Erin's previous conjecture was feasible.

This also makes Erin even more excited for his upcoming role as the Joker.

Of course, he couldn't stop on his own side either.

With that in mind, Erin closed his eyes and began to meditate, constantly adjusting and controlling his surging spiritual power.

·······

Just as Erin was quietly feeling his power increase.

On the other side of the earth.

Inside a dilapidated ancient castle shrouded in layers of thin mist.

Apart from the open coffin on the far left.

The other two bronze lamps, lit with an unknown oil, were placed above the coffin and emitted a ghastly green light.

It suddenly burst into flames.

A chilling wind blew by.

The ghastly green flame on the central bronze lamp suddenly surged, instantly incinerating the dark red coffin beneath it, along with the body inside, into ashes.

The biting wind swept past the middle coffin and then relentlessly blew towards the rightmost coffin.

However, it is unclear whether burning the coffin in the middle consumed too much of its power, or something else, which weakened its power and speed considerably.

Just as it blew toward the rightmost coffin, a pale hand suddenly reached out from the coffin, grabbed the edge of the wooden plank, and then quickly jumped out of the coffin.

They blew out the flame in the bronze lamp above the coffin first.

After blowing out the flame on the bronze lamp.

The voice that crawled out of the coffin moved swiftly and arrived at the corner of the wall.

The next second, his pale, fleshy body blended into the shadows in the corner.

Without the guidance of the bronze lamp, the biting wind was like a headless fly that couldn't find its target.

It seemed to vent its frustration as it blew through the underground chamber for a while, corroding a large area of ​​the thick stone walls around it.

It disappeared into the void amidst a gust of bleak wind.

A full hour passed before the biting, eerie wind disappeared.

The figure that had just blended into the shadows of the corner slowly rose from them.

When that body completely emerged from the shadows.

What was revealed was Cassius, who had sacrificed hundreds of thousands of souls, used the seven deadly sins as a pretext, and ultimately sacrificed himself to lure the divine abominations to descend.

However, compared to before.

At this moment, Cassius's refined and handsome face was covered with strange and twisted gray lines, and his lower body below his chest and abdomen had completely transformed into a constantly twisting and eerie shadow.

After this resurrection, I felt an innate and powerful control over the power of shadow within my body.

A strange smile appeared on Cassius's face.

"Finally, we succeeded..."

However, when his gaze shifted downwards and he saw the appearance of his lower body, Cassius's face, covered with mysterious patterns, revealed a hint of displeasure.

"Is this only half successful? Metis, it seems your plan has failed..."

Just as Cassius's voice rang out, another voice suddenly echoed from the dark basement.

"Failure? You should be grateful that you managed to exploit a pre-arranged loophole to fool an evil god, successfully steal a portion of the Shadow Essence from His offspring, and even resurrect after undergoing a ritual of self-sacrifice!"

Upon hearing that clear, cold voice, Cassius, who had seemed somewhat dissatisfied just a moment ago, appeared to be persuaded and suddenly broke into a smile again.

"You're right. Being able to fool that kind of being and steal a portion of that abomination's power through a pre-arranged contract and ritual is a success in itself. However, this time, the fooling cost me two lives and a relatively easy-to-fool 'savior,' which is truly a pity!"

"hehe······"

Metis, who seemed neurotic and completely different from the previous Cassius, hid in another corner of the basement and arranged a ritual on the ground with his own blood, revealed a mocking smile.

Are gods really so easy to fool?

Hearing Metis's cold laugh, Cassius, whose emotions were fluctuating wildly as if he were neurotic, seemed to sense the change in himself, and his expression suddenly changed.

The next second, Cassius leaped into the shadows and appeared directly behind Metis.

He took a silver wine jug from behind Metis, raised the spout, and poured the wine into himself.

next second.

A stream of murky, ethereal liquid, seemingly nonexistent and emanating a chilling aura, flowed from the spout and into Cassius's mouth.
