I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 401 Sequence Five

Sequence five.

It is the apex of the mysterious sequence, and also the pinnacle of mortals.

Because going a step further, starting from Sequence 4, those extraordinary beings who enter this sequence gradually transcend the realm of mortals and become legendary mythical creatures.

Every extraordinary being of Sequence Four possesses various powerful and terrifying abilities within this sequence.

They can even easily throw enemies who directly face their mythical forms into a state of chaos and collapse by manifesting mythical creature forms.

For ordinary people.

Any extraordinary being who reaches the demigod level is a moving catastrophe.

They don't even need to attack; simply revealing their mythical creature forms is enough to cause the deaths of countless mortals.

From this sequence onward, the true terrifying veil of the potion sequence in the mysterious world was lifted.

Now that Erin has been promoted to [Master of Mystic Puppet], she is only one step away from Sequence Four.

"call······"

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

Erin suddenly realized that at this moment, his vision began to rise infinitely under the power of the potion.

Then we passed through brick walls and obstacles.

Finally, countless, densely packed, illusory black lines appeared in his field of vision.

They emanate from various parts of themselves, from the people who live around the house, and even from Chinatown and different parts of New York City.

Dense and numerous, even extending into one's own line of sight today, reaching the very edge of the void.

"Is this... the Spirit Thread?"

This bizarre scene, with its intense and beautiful density, was completely unfamiliar to Erin. However, after advancing to the [Master of Mystic Puppet] level, he instinctively felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and familiarity with the illusory black lines.

Because these illusions are black lines, which are the source of the power of the [Master of Puppets].

Through the mystical knowledge gained from the potion, Erin knew very well that these illusory black threads were the spiritual threads that the [Puppet Master] could manipulate.

Now, Erin can even directly influence the target's spiritual body and astral body by manipulating these spiritual threads, and then control the target's body by eroding the opponent's spiritual threads as a bridge.

All of the extraordinary abilities of the [Master of Puppets] are actually achieved through the manipulation of the Spirit Threads.

It possesses the threads of a spirit.

Erin can easily locate all living beings around him. Even the most skilled assassins, adept at hiding and stealth, will find no place to hide under the Spirit Line.

Unless the opponent can conceal their spiritual threads, they have no way of hiding their form from Erin's eyes.

With this method, the chances of anyone wanting to assassinate Erin at close range will increase exponentially in the future.

In addition to this, Erin can also control his target like a puppeteer through the Spirit Threads, forcibly putting the other person's mind and body into a state of stagnation or freezing.

Finally, corrode the opponent's spirit line bit by bit, and then refine it into a lotus root.

This ability makes it difficult to break free from Erin's control unless the other party forcibly breaks free through their own spiritual strength.

As time goes by, through the influence of the spirit threads, Erin's control over the other party will continue to deepen, and even after reaching a certain level, he can completely turn the other party into his puppet.

Then, you can manipulate the puppet to fight in your place. In this way, the puppet can even use its original extraordinary abilities!

From this perspective, aside from the limitation of distance, this ability is far stronger than the String-String Fruit energy of Doflamingo in the One Piece world.

It is precisely for this reason that this stage...

Those who become extraordinary through the path of the diviner will be significantly more dangerous.

With a multitude of puppets assisting them, the [Master of Puppets], hidden behind the scenes, will be the most formidable opponent below the demigod level.

"The Threads of the Spirit—what a bizarre and unpredictable ability!"

With a gentle touch of a spiritual energy thread near him, Erin quickly sensed the difference in the spiritual energy thread.

Despite having just been promoted to [Master of Mystic Puppet], Erin still needs 20 to 30 seconds to gradually erode the spirit threads and gain control of his target.

However, it's important to know that the target is almost completely unaware of this until the Spirit Threads take effect.

Unless the other party possesses extraordinary items specifically designed to counter abilities like the Spirit Threads, or has exceptionally strong perception or precognitive abilities.

Otherwise, the moment Erin touched his spiritual line, Erin's fate... was already sealed.

Moreover, even if the opponent's spirit is powerful enough to break free from Erin's control, it will still be invaded by Erin while under its own spirit.

Part Two describes various negative states, including slowed thinking, sluggish movements, and physical stiffness.

In this situation, if a secret puppet cooperates with Erin's actions, the target affected by Erin can be easily eliminated.

of course.

Given Erin's current ability to digest the [Master of Puppets] potion, he can only create one puppet for the time being.

Of course, this number might increase as Erin further consumes the [Master of Puppets] potion, but not by much.

As the potion is gradually digested, the time Erin can manipulate his target through the Spirit Threads will become shorter and shorter. Once the [Puppet Master] is fully digested, Erin can even control his opponent like a puppet through the Spirit Threads within 5 seconds.

"What a pity, I wish I had acquired the ability of the Spirit Threads sooner."

After an unknown amount of time, Erin, who was carefully comprehending the power of the Spirit Threads, suddenly sighed.

If I had possessed the ability to manipulate spirits in a straight line before the major events in Harlem, then the tough-skinned Abomination, who had fought the Hulk to a standstill, would have been the best candidate for the Erin puppet.

It's just that Erin's advancement to [Master of Mystic Puppet] was a little late.

The speed at which Hatred perished was indeed a bit too fast.

Now that abominable corpse has long since turned into another pile of minced meat, becoming just a corpse, food to nourish the lesser monsters.

After sighing again, Erin realized that with his advancement, the abilities of his previous sequences had increased by about 50%, or even more.

Looking at the skills I've just acquired.

Erin couldn't resist taking advantage of the night to indulge in a moment of passion, and then disappeared into the darkness of New York.

That night.

A temporary street hero has appeared on the streets of New York.

At the same time, there were also several unlucky individuals who lost their lives instead of succeeding in their robberies.

···········

After testing his new abilities with those scumbags and gaining a general understanding of them, Erin quickly returned to Chinatown.

However, at this moment, the horizon was already beginning to lighten.

Chinatown, which had become quiet as night fell, has once again become lively again.

When Erin smelled that smoky aroma, his rumbling stomach involuntarily twitched.

It produced a "gurgling" sound.

Having not enjoyed Chinese cuisine for almost half a month, Ailin simply decided not to go back and try to cook it herself anymore.

It's right here among those breakfast shops that are about to open for business at the morning market.

After devouring different kinds of breakfasts from different regions, they poured them all into their mouths with great relish.

"Phew, that feels so good!"

After a long while, when Erin patted her stomach and left the fourteenth breakfast shop.

The owner of this breakfast shop, along with the owners of the other breakfast shops that Erin had visited before, all stared at Erin with the same look they had on a rice bucket.

If Erin hadn't already forcibly altered their perceptions through his mental field, blurring their memories of their own appearance...

Let them subconsciously think of themselves as outsiders from the past.

It seems that Erin is about to be labeled as a good-for-nothing.

···········

Several tens of minutes later, Erin drove a black minivan dispatched from Miracle Corporation into the community where Pepper lived.

After driving the car to Pepper's door.

Erin then brought the gifts and rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong!!!"

With that sharp sound, a chaotic commotion erupted in the apartment building where Pepper lived.

Ok?

Through the extra spiritual threads, Erin quickly deduced that there was another person in Pepper's apartment besides her.

If it weren't for the timely voice in his ear that allowed Erin to quickly confirm the identity of the person who appeared in Pepper's apartment,

Erin was even planning to erode the other party's spiritual threads.

Ok?

It seems that it's not impossible to do so.

Just as Erin was staring at the other party's spiritual lines, feeling somewhat restless.

Pepper, who saw Erin through the crack in the open door, immediately showed a look of surprise.

Pepper quickly opened the door and welcomed Erin inside. She said to Erin with some surprise, "I thought you'd come after nine o'clock. I didn't expect you to come so early this time."

After returning to New York yesterday, Erin told Pepper that he was back and they arranged to meet this morning.

Pepper asked Tony for a day off specifically for this reason.

However, Pepper was somewhat surprised that Erin would arrive so early this time.

"I had something to do, so I got up a little early. I thought you'd be quite busy, Aunt Pepper, so I came to see you early and brought you some little things I got for you from my trip."

At this point, Erin glanced specifically at Pepper's closed bedroom door, then said, "But I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Erin had barely finished speaking.

A slight, unnatural expression appeared on the face of Pepper, a woman who was usually meticulous and capable.

Before Pepper could answer.

Pepper's tightly closed bedroom door was then flung open with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, a figure not very tall, wearing only a vest, walked out of Pepper's bedroom and shouted:

"I knew I couldn't hide it from this weirdo. Maybe the reason he came so early today was because he already knew I would be here."

Arlin wasn't surprised at all to see Tony Stark emerge from Pepper's bedroom. After all, the voice he had just heard had already told him who the guy hiding in Pepper's room was.

Facing Tony Stark, who was glaring at him as if he had been interrupted, Arryn said without flinching, "You're right, I foresaw all of this, which saved me from having to make two trips."

talking.

After showering Pepper with a ton of gifts, Erin also smiled and handed Tony Stark a small gift box.

There really is one?

Tony Stark's original intention was simply to preemptively accuse Pepper and use the opportunity to cover up his and Pepper's awkward situation, thus extricating himself from the situation.

It wasn't until Arryn handed Tony Stark the Bible with the Pope's autograph that the latter realized what was happening.

"Is this a Bible personally signed by the Pope?"

Looking at the book in his hand, Tony Stark thought for a moment and then put it away.

Although compared to the huge pile of gifts Erin gave Pepper, the gifts he gave himself were much more meager.

But to be honest, for Tony Stark, the fact that Arryn was able to prepare a gift for him was already a pleasant surprise.

Not to mention, the Bible in his hand was personally signed by the Pope.

For many believers, the value of this Bible even surpasses that of priceless treasures.

Because in their view, the significance of this thing far exceeds its actual value.

Although Tony Stark himself wasn't particularly interested in this kind of thing, Pepper loved it!

After accepting the Bible with the Pope's signature, he could use it to curry favor with Pepper.

After accepting the gift, a pleased Tony Stark quietly upgraded the gift he had originally prepared for Arryn by several levels.

After Tony Stark accepted the gift.

Pepper suddenly spoke up, "Erin, you've come at the perfect time. Not long ago, Tony said he wanted to talk to you about something. Now you two can have a good chat."

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced at Tony Stark with some surprise, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Is there anything that your famous Iron Man can't solve?"

"There are many things I can't handle."

After giving a light hum, Tony Stark continued, "I heard that Dr. Banner recently stole something from the military in the Amazon rainforest, causing some members of the military to become dissatisfied with the Miracle Corporation?"

Erin nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a thing. What? Are you here to help mediate?"

Tony Stark: "Why would I speak up for something like this? I don't have that kind of influence! It's just that Washington is facing a bit of a problem and needs your help. If you can help them resolve this issue, the government is willing to help you resolve the conflict with the military."
