I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 344

Amidst the devastation of the battlefield, a tall, imposing figure, enveloped in a red glow, appeared completely unharmed.

As one of the most powerful demons in Japanese legends, the Great Tengu's strength is beyond doubt.

Having lived for thousands of years, its strength has almost reached the pinnacle of human power.

What it is most proud of is its indestructible and terrifying body, and its unparalleled strength.

After dissipating the shimmering power of law from his fist, the Great Tengu dusted off his ornate training clothes, revealing a disdainful smile beneath his long, eagle-like nose.

"Is that all?"

Upon seeing this scene, Erin's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Although the Great Tengu, who had withstood the Dragon Slayer's cannon fire, was not as relaxed as it appeared, as observed by the spiritual vision, it was still the first being in Erin's possession of the Dragon Slayer to withstand its bombardment without sustaining any damage.

"As expected of a legendary demon, it is truly powerful!"

"hehe!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Tengu revealed a slightly sinister smile and said, "Since your words are somewhat palatable, I will mercifully grant you a quick death."

"drink!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Great Tengu stomped down and shouted loudly. The cement ground beneath him instantly turned into dust, and numerous fine cracks broke off and spread outwards, forming a shocking spider web.

Its crimson muscles bulged once more, unleashing unparalleled and terrifying power. Its fist, enveloped by a flowing power array, slammed powerfully towards Erin.

With a single punch, the force surged like a tidal wave, creating visible ripples in the void.

Almost instantly, the terrifying punch crossed space and landed on Erin's body.

boom!

With a loud bang, Erin's slender body was torn apart by this terrifying punch, sending paper scraps flying everywhere.

"snort!"

As a legendary demon who has mastered the laws of power, the Great Tengu has reached a state of unparalleled mastery in the application of power and skills through thousands of years of continuous killing and accumulation. He is an absolute master of combat.

Upon realizing that its punch had only struck a paper doll, it flicked its arm, turning its unstoppable punch into a giant hammer, which it then slammed into the back of the doll that it had sensed the anomaly.

boom!

next second!

The giant, crimson fist, resembling a clay pot, smashed open a huge, colorful balloon that was floating behind the Great Tengu.

"Bang!"

It was accompanied by a loud bang.

Colorful fireworks burst forth from the giant balloon that had been smashed open, transforming into a shower of multicolored light that rained down from the sky, creating an exceptionally festive atmosphere over a radius of several meters.

The Great Tengu, enveloped in a rain of colorful fireworks, looked at the fireworks falling from the sky, and a trace of reminiscence suddenly flashed in his eyes.

A series of distant memories kept resurfacing from the depths of its mind.

Those distant memories made the Great Tengu involuntarily slow down his punches.

Its lips curled up slightly, as if it were recalling some beautiful scene.

a long time.

The Great Tengu, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly clenched his right fist and then squeezed it tightly.

The fist clenched so tightly it seemed to burst the air, creating a deafening roar in the void.

boom!

Under the sweep of a gust of wind pressure.

The rain of light, formed by the colorful scraps of paper that had fallen on the Great Tengu, was swept away completely.

Glancing around, it realized that both Cassius, whom it had saved, and Erin, who had used some unseen means to evoke a trace of its memories, had long since vanished.

The Great Tengu didn't seem to care about this.

Even the invasion of Tokyo by the Hell Dimension this time seemed utterly uninteresting to the Great Tengu at this moment.

After dispelling the power and laws that still surrounded him, protecting him from sneak attacks and other harm, the two huge wings on the back of the Great Tengu suddenly flapped.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Tengu's figure disappeared from the spot.

A few minutes later.

On an inconspicuous little hillside.

The Great Tengu, carrying a jug of sake he'd somehow acquired, slowly sat down against a slightly raised mound.

As the gray-black ashes fell from the sky, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire city of Tokyo, a smile appeared on the face of the Great Tengu.

"Master, if you were still here and saw this, you would definitely scold me!"

"Ah Quan... is being disobedient again."

········

the other side.

at this time.

Guided by Metis, Erin was moving swiftly through the streets and alleys, chasing after Cassius, who had already escaped using the power of shadow.

After seeing the [Dragon Slayer]'s cannon fire in Dragon Slayer mode being completely blocked by Ōtengu, he was unharmed.

Erin immediately changed his plans.

Through the exploding colorful balloons, the power of the mind was fully mobilized, instantly evoking a beautiful memory for the Great Tengu.

Erin immediately chased after the direction in which Cassius had disappeared.

However, Cassius had already disappeared by then.

In fact, to prevent Erin from tracking him down, that guy even used some means to create several shadow clones carrying his aura, which ran off in different directions.

This is because Cassius carries an item that can interfere with divination.

Erin's divination skills could not help him guide the other party's escape route.

Just when Erin thought Cassius would escape this time.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Metis, who had long since fled the battlefield, suddenly appeared beside Erin.

Metis, who had become much thinner and more aloof than before, leaned against the corner of the wall in front of Erin, looked up at Erin, and said, "Are you here to hunt Cassius?"

"Cassius? Is that the name of the guy you were with?"

Metis did not speak upon hearing this, but he nodded.

"If Cassius is the guy who was with you just now, then yes, I'm here to kill him. What, are you going to stop me, little girl?"

After saying that, Erin's eyes were fixed on Metis's eyes, as if trying to see through her thoughts.

"Stop? If you kill Cassius and are willing to give me his soul, I will not only not stop you, but I will also help you find him. But if you refuse to give me his soul, then in order to resurrect my mother, I will do everything I can to delay you and buy him time."

Upon hearing this, Erin's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at Metis and said in a deep voice, "Aunt Feng is dead."

"No." Metis's voice suddenly became serious. "She has only been dragged into hell. As long as I can obtain the secret of their repeated resurrections from Cassius's soul, I can use it to resurrect my mother."

Upon hearing Metis's words, Erin frowned slightly, saying with some disbelief, "Resurrected again and again? You mean Cassius can come back to life?"

To die and be brought back to life.

It was truly a miracle of life.

But how could such a miracle happen so easily?

Otherwise, even Odin, the king of the gods, wouldn't have been powerless to stop the demise of his queen, Fryka.

"Before the bloodbath in New York began, Cassius was killed by Loki once. After the Battle of New York began, in order to summon the descent of the 'Lord of the Fallen,' he not only sacrificed hundreds of thousands of souls but also sacrificed himself. If he hadn't been resurrected through such an inconceivable means, he would have been dead long ago after the sacrifice. How could he have stolen a portion of the power of that divine abomination and greatly increased his strength?"

"Of course, his resurrection method has a major flaw: each resurrection causes the user to lose a portion of their sanity, memories, and even lifespan. Even so, it's not always successful. But for me, isn't that enough?"

With Metis's explanation, Erin gained a better understanding of the resurrection she spoke of.

It's normal for there to be limitations and serious side effects; if there were truly no resurrection without any aftereffects, it would seem somewhat fake.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking, we really won't be able to catch up with Cassius. Cassius's soul contains the secret that can bring him back to life. If you are willing to give me his soul, I have a way to extract that secret from it and bring my mother back to life. In return, I will share that secret with you."

"Of course, you can also try to extract the secret from Cassius yourself, or keep the secret for yourself."

As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared on Metis's face.

He seemed certain that even if Erin obtained Cassius's soul, he wouldn't be able to uncover the secret.

Seeing the expression on Metis's face, Erin nodded slightly.

"Can."

It would be a lie for Erin to say he wasn't interested in such a secret that could bring people back to life.

Who knows, he might need it someday.

of course.

If the side effects of this secret were too great, Erin wouldn't have tried it.

After seeing Erin nod in agreement.

A hint of joy appeared on Metis's doll-like, exquisite face.

"it is good."

After responding,

Metis took out an ancient compass directly from his bosom.

"The dead guide the way, the wandering souls seek their path... Go!"

After a flash of eerie light...

The pointer on the compass in Metis's hand suddenly began to spin rapidly.

A few seconds later.

That pointer firmly pointed in one direction.

"Here, the direction the compass needle is pointing is where Cassius is."

Seeing Erin's slightly strange expression, Metis said calmly, "Don't look at me like that. The reason I'm by Cassius's side is because of the resurrection technique on him. So when I was healing him before, I took the opportunity to tamper with his body, just in case."

"On the contrary, if you keep staring at me like that, he might really get away. By the way, let me emphasize that the detection range of this compass is a radius of three thousand meters. Once Cassius runs out of this range, the compass will not be able to track his location."

"All right!"

Despite Metis's warning, Erin didn't delay. He somehow put on a pair of rubber gloves, took the compass from Metis, and ran off in the direction the pointer indicated.

Almost at the same time that Erin started running, the petite Metis also struggled to keep up behind Erin with her short legs.

During one high-speed movement after another.

Erin looked at Metis, whose face was pale but who seemed to be forcibly keeping up with him through some kind of physical exertion, and his eyes flickered slightly.

To keep in mind that in order to pursue the fleeing Cassius and prevent him from escaping the compass's perception range, Erin did not slow down at all to take care of Metis.

Through repeated advancements and the increasingly profound refinement of the "Cosmic Brain Meditation Method," Erin's body has long surpassed the limits of ordinary people.

Even Captain America, who was injected with the Super Soldier Serum, was still far inferior to Erin in terms of physical strength.

In addition, there's the agility granted by the Joker's potion.

In this situation, although Metis used some means of pushing her body to its limits, she was still able to keep up with her own affairs, which still greatly exceeded Erin's expectations.

Seven or eight minutes later.

Guided by the compass, Erin and Metis arrived at an inconspicuous temple.

Fayuan Temple.

Looking at the plaque above the temple gate, Metis, pale and seemingly bloodless, said, "Be careful. I think I heard Cassius and the other knights of the Seven Deadly Sins mention this temple before. It seems to be one of their strongholds."

During the recent raid.

It seems that Metis revealed all of Cassius's secrets to Erin in order to increase Erin's chances of winning.

One of these is his connection to the Seven Deadly Sins.

to be frank.

Erin was slightly surprised when he heard that the superpowered individuals who appeared in New York were all members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The fact that the Seven Deadly Sins could still produce so many superpowered individuals in this era of supernatural concealment is enough to demonstrate the profound depth of their power.

pity.

In order to gain greater power, Cassius did not hesitate to offer up the organization he was born into as a sacrifice, along with hundreds of thousands of souls, to the Fallen Lord.

This organization, which had existed for countless years, became history and vanished into thin air.

"Dragon Slayer Mode, Charge Up!"

next second.

The [Dragon Slayer] on Erin's right hand transformed once again into the ferocious dragon head cannon barrel that covered Erin's entire arm.

Under Erin's orders.

From within that blood-red, ferocious dragon's mouth, a black, deathly light once again emanated.

As time passed, a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world gradually emanated from the blood-red dragon head.

Under this terrifying aura.

Fayuan Temple, which was directly facing the cannon muzzle, seemed to tremble slightly.

Nine;

"Dragon Slayer Roar Shot, fire!"
