I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 495 I Seem to Have Unfolded a Mysterious Prelude in This World

perhaps.

Before heading to Sokovia, I need to find some time to meet the black bastard who has returned.

Sitting opposite Erin, Duke looked at Erin, who was deep in thought, and his eyes flickered. As if he had expected everything to happen, he smiled and said, "Is the master having trouble getting ownership of the Hydra base in Sokovia from S.H.I.E.L.D.? If so, then leave it to me."

Hearing this, Erin raised an eyebrow, looked up at Duke, and asked, "You have a way?"

Duke smiled confidently upon hearing this, "Although I don't know what methods Nick Fury used to impress the World Security Council and take the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., during the time Nick Fury was on his escape, I have already won over most of the middle and senior management of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that he's now back as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and seems to be enjoying all the glory on the surface. In reality, his control over S.H.I.E.L.D. is far weaker than ours."

"I am now the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Sokovia operation was planned by me. Even within S.H.I.E.L.D., I have higher priority than Nick Fury in handling any matter related to that operation. So, dealing with the assets of a remote small country in Eastern Europe is not a problem."

"oh."

Upon hearing this, Erin's face showed a thoughtful expression. He then tapped the table with his index finger for a while before saying, "Although the fusion of the Nine Realms a few months ago trapped me in Asgard, it also allowed me to meet the king of the dwarves. This time, I have invited a dwarven elder and hundreds of dwarven craftsmen to return with me and help me build a war fortress, a war weapon that far surpasses space carriers."

"The former Hydra base in Sokovia is the location I chose to build the war fortress. So before the war fortress is completed, I don't want it to be exposed to anyone's sight, especially your suspicious Director Nick."

"Can you do that?"

Nick Fury may not be good at much, but he's good at making things worse.

If that guy targets Sokovia, the former Hydra base, and then probes them every now and then, it would be a troublesome matter for them.

Dwarves.

War fortress.

A few words from Erin were enough to wipe the smile off Duke's face.

Duke initially thought that Erin wanted the castle in Sokovia simply to have another secret base outside the Federation, but he didn't expect that it also involved something like a war fortress.

This completely changed the significance of the castle in Sokovia.

After realizing the importance of this matter.

Duke, however, felt a surge of joy.

After Alexander Pierce's downfall, Duke was among the first to side with Erin, but even though he had previously become the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Duke knew very well that he had not truly become Erin's loyal follower.

There are many secrets within Erin's faction that I have no right to know.

For example, the mysterious abilities that Erin and Kiris possess.

Duke had previously asked Gillis for a way to become a superhuman.

Of course, this might also be a way of testing whether Gillies and the others truly intended to consider him one of their own.

The more Duke interacted with Erin, the more he felt the profound mystery emanating from Erin.

It seemed that with each step he took "away" from Erin, he was getting closer to the mysterious source.

Moreover, Duke's intuition told him something in the dark.

Once he truly gets close to Erin, one day he will see his family again.

Duke has great faith in his intuition, as it is the key to his success.

So, after confirming his intuition, Duke worked tirelessly to complete every task Arlin had assigned him.

Now, he believes his efforts have paid off.

To him, the secretive information about the dwarves and the war fortress was a signal from Arryn that he was being accepted.

If he handles the Hydra base in Sokovia well, then he will truly enter Kiris's circle and become a direct member of Erin's faction.

After thinking it over carefully, Duke solemnly assured him, "Don't worry, sir, I will handle everything."

"Although Nick Fury is suspicious, this is also the easiest thing for him to exploit. If used well, it can actually turn Nick Fury into an ally. Alexander Pierce used this to his advantage, making Nick Fury run around in circles, and then, right under Nick Fury's nose, using the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to perfect Project Insight."

"Even now, Nick Fury remains convinced of that plan, and as soon as he returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., he picked up the Insight program, which we ourselves had abandoned."

Speaking of Project Insight, Duke's eyes gleamed with even more confidence as he said, "By the way, the three space carriers under the Tri-Wing Tower are almost finished. Nick Fury's entire focus is on Project Insight right now, so he probably won't care about a Hydra base that has been raided by S.H.I.E.L.D."

Insight Project?

Ha, after seeing through the essence of everything, the so-called Insight Project was nothing more than a tool that Alexander Pierce's faction tried to use to control the world.

Ever since witnessing the mystery hidden in the darkness of this world, the god-king Odin's casual strike comparable to a nuclear bomb, and the Dark Elf King's powerful strength that vowed to devour the light of the entire world and drag the entire universe into darkness.

Duke had given up hope on the Insight Project, which aimed to rule the world with three space carriers.

This thing can restrain ordinary people, but can it restrain those terrifying monsters?

Do not make jokes.

The monster that was only a few minutes old during the Battle of New York could easily tear apart and destroy an air carrier, let alone those even more terrifying monsters?

Putting aside other things.

Even a so-called space carrier might not be able to stop its own boss.

After all, their boss was a man who had withstood a nuclear bomb.

But even though Duke had given up on this plan, Nick Fury couldn't wait to pick it up again after his return.

Although Duke understands Nick Fury's eagerness to regain power after losing it and then returning, can a plan devised by Hydra and riddled with loopholes and contingencies really help him?

After learning about Nick Fury's recent situation from Duke, Erin was slightly surprised, but then he laughed.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

Duke: "Don't worry, sir. Sharing your burdens is the very purpose of our existence. I... will not let you down."

Seeing Duke subtly flattering him, Erin shook her head and then brought up another matter:

"Kiris said you asked her for advice on how to become a superhuman?"

Upon hearing this, Duke's expression turned serious, and he immediately explained, "Sir, recently S.H.I.E.L.D. has discovered and recruited many superhumans, and I... also want to become one of them."

"A long time ago, my family perished in that accident. I thought I would only see them in my memories, but ever since Iron Man opened the curtain on this extraordinary world, all the monsters and demons that were previously hidden in every corner of the world have begun to emerge."

"Whenever I'm alone late at night, I can't help but wonder, since vengeful spirits, ghosts, even demons and hellish dimensions have emerged, is it possible that the souls of my family members are still in some corner of this world?"

"If I could see the spirits of the dead and communicate with them, would I still have a chance to see my family again in the future?"

"Although I know the chances are slim, I can't help but let my imagination run wild most of the time."

"So, I simply asked Kiris if there was a way to become a superhuman, but..."

In the end, Duke shook his head in disappointment.

Kiris herself became a superhuman because of the potion given to her by Erin.

How could she possibly have any other way to help Duke become a superhuman as well?

Not to mention the kind of extraordinary profession that Duke wants to pursue, which clearly has some special requirements.

Therefore, Duke's inquiry had already predetermined the outcome.

However, after hearing these words, Erin showed a thoughtful expression.

Being able to see and communicate with the dead—isn't that the ability of a Death Path Sequencer?

Kiris can't produce this, but Erin, who currently has a large amount of Destiny Points, certainly can!

Moreover, those who follow the Death Path can see the dead at Sequence Nine, and when they advance to Sequence Seven [Spirit Summoner], they can even forcibly "communicate" with some mysterious spirits in the spirit world, let alone ordinary dead souls.

Thinking of this, Erin looked at Duke and said:

"Want to see the spirits of your deceased family? I do know a path for extraordinary individuals that's perfect for you."

"At the very beginning of this path, one can directly see some evil spirits, understand the characteristics and weaknesses of many undead creatures, and even be mistaken by some undead as their own kind, thus avoiding their attacks."

"After several advancements and gaining greater strength, one will be able to communicate with the dead, and even directly sense the entrance to the underworld, capturing spirits from within..."

"And at the end of this road is called Death."

grim Reaper?

Upon hearing this, Duke suddenly looked up and stared at Erin with an incredulous expression.

They even doubted whether they had misheard.

Looking at Duke's expression, Erin chuckled and said, "You heard me right. It's the kind of death god you understand. The extraordinary path I mentioned earlier is a path that leads directly to the gods."

At this point, Erin specifically emphasized:

"Oh, right, the kind of gods I'm talking about aren't the long-lived beings in Asgard who call themselves gods, but the real gods, even more powerful than Odin, the king of the gods."

"If you truly reach the end of this path, even resurrecting your loved ones may no longer be a problem."

"Of course, you don't need to become such a god. As long as the souls of your loved ones are still alive, and as long as you become a Sequence Seven psychic, you should be able to see them through 'psychic communication'."

resurrection.

If I become the Grim Reaper, can I resurrect my family?

Duke, who originally just wanted to see his family, had his ambitions ignited by Erin's words.

Deep within those eyes, a burning desire almost materialized.

After an unknown amount of time, Duke finally managed to suppress his excitement and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, what should I do to earn the chance to embark on that path?"

"exchange?"

Erin shook his head.

Upon seeing this, the light in Duke's eyes quickly dimmed.

Yes.

In this world, anyone who can awaken unexpectedly and become an ordinary superhuman can be considered a chosen one.

Not to mention this extraordinary path that points directly to the essence of the divine.

This path, which allows one to cultivate to godhood, is probably an extremely precious and forbidden secret even in the mystical world.

How could someone like me possibly obtain such an opportunity?

Just as the light in Duke's eyes began to dim, he heard Erin say calmly, "No need to exchange it. If you want, I can give you such an opportunity directly."

"However, I must tell you, this path is not as wonderful as you imagine. With every step you take on this path, you are getting closer to madness, and with every promotion, you are also getting closer to death."

"Don't even mention becoming the Grim Reaper in the end; you might even be corrupted by that forbidden knowledge and become a madman, or even a monster, shortly after you step onto this path."

"This is not a warning, nor a threat, but... the truth."

"So, are you really sure?"

"Are you sure?" Startled by Erin's heavy breathing, Duke licked his lips, which had become dry and pale, and then laughed loudly, "Does this kind of opportunity, which ordinary people would fight tooth and nail for, even need confirmation?"

"What does it matter if I'm a madman or a monster? If it can resurrect my wife and daughter, even if there's only a sliver of a chance, then I'd be willing to become a real monster myself."

After the laughter subsided.

Duke suppressed the madness in his eyes, then stood up and knelt heavily before Erin with a thud, bowing his head and saying, "My lord, please give me this chance."

Sensing Duke's hysterical madness and unwavering determination, Erin's lips curled into a slight smile.

With that kind of willpower, Duke might actually be able to walk down this path for a long time.

and many more.

If we really give Duke the Death Path potion.

Duke, Gillies, myself, and those wild Sequencers—have the number of Sequencers in the Mysterious System in this world increased again?

If I were to continue spreading more potions...

Could it be that one day I'll unleash a mysterious resurgence upon this world?
